Special station planned for East Link downtown

City to open zip line tours in April

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Sound Transit introduced residents to its 60-percent design plans for East Link transit stations downtown on Tuesday night, including what has to happen to bring light rail under the city and back up at City Hall.

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

April showers may feel a little different hitting your face at 35 mph as your legs dangle 20 feet in the air. That's all part of the experience people will get when they sign up for zip tours through the city of Bellevue's newest parks project — weather will vary.

The city completed its zip line course at the South Bellevue Community Center's Challenge Course last fall at a cost of $200,000.

It will be managed by Northwest Teambuilding under a four-year contract. Faced with wet and chilly weather, the city is waiting until April 5 to open zip lining tours to the public.

Northwest Teambuilding owner Scott Andrews said about 40 people were invited out to test the zip tour in the fall. He's been riding zip since 1983, and said not many cities across the country have embraced zip lines for their parks, but that number is growing. He's now working on another course in Leavenworth.

"Urban zip lines are very rare," said Andrews during a Tuesday media tour. "There are very few of them."

There are six full lines to ride at various lengths, heights and speeds during the tours with a half line at the end. The cost is $44 for youth and $69 for adults and is available for children 9 years and up. Tours are anticipated to take up to 2 1/2 hours and come with harnesses, helmets, other gear and a release of liability form.

The highest zip line is 80 feet.

Bellevue Transit Center

lems like downed traffic signs with a few taps, take and upload photos to the city's Facebook page and use geonavigation to see what's going on where they are in Bellevue.

If you see a request that you also wanted to make, Toms said you can support the request to emphasize its importance.

"It's kind of that crowdsourcing notion," he said.

If someone makes a service request with

A working title, the Bellevue Transit Center will be incorporated into the north side of City Hall at Northeast Sixth Street, just down the hill from the Metro station. This station is being touted as an at-grade, elevated tunnel station that will save taxpayer dollars and be a light rail rarity, said John Walser, Sound Transit architect.

"You probably won't find a station like this anywhere else in the U.S.," he said.

Responding to comments during its 30-percent design presentation, Sound Transit has extended its platform to 90 percent to minimize wind and weather impacts. There will be eastern and western entrances with elevator and escalator access, including at the City Hall Plaza, which will also be modified to make way for the transit station. The city will also be reconstructing its parking garage, with a large part of public safety parking being displaced by the light rail tunnel portion.

Sound Transit is looking for artists for the transit center, which will include a glass wall for the enclosed stairway to the light rail platform, said Barbara Luecke, Sound Transit art program manager. She said a selection committee already has been formed that includes members from the Bellevue Arts Commission, Bellevue Arts Museum and Meydenbauer Center situated across the street. The hope is for a nighttime lantern effect, said Luecke.

Walser said it's important to Sound Transit to maximize property next to the station being purchased by the city from

Bellevue City Hall to go mobile with new service app

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

There are millions of mobile software applications out there, but only one that will let Bellevue residents and visitors send out requests for city services, get push notifications about projects and further navigate Washington's fifth-largest municipality from their smartphones or tablet devices.

MyBellevue launches Monday after City Council in September approved developing

the free mobile app, tapping PublicStuff for a three-year, $93,000 contract to help create the latest technological tool for the local government.

"It's kind of a one-stop, where you don't need to know all about the city of Bellevue to report something," said Ian Toms, program administrator for the city's civic services department.

Miyake gets in touch with Japanese roots in Fukuoka

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Brad Miyake says he’s more in touch with his heritage after a visit to Japan earlier this month as one of 10 Japanese American delegates selected to share his perspective and experiences here in the United States.

Chosen for his leadership as acting city manager in Bellevue, Miyake is a thirdgeneration Japanese American who, until this year, had never been to the Land of the Rising Sun. As part of the 2014 Japanese American Leadership Delegation, his trip included meeting with those economically, politically and culturally tied to the country in order to strengthen its relationship with the United States.

“They think that the relationship with America is very good and they want to keep it good for a number of years, and they think Japanese Americans can help with that,” he said.

While visiting Fukuoka in Japan’s Kyushu region, Miyake participated in

a panel discussion sponsored by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership and the U.S.-Japan Council.

He said he spoke about his family history and career in civil service, Brad Miyake which included finding his voice in government and promoting economic development in Bellevue. Miyake said the trip was an important part of discovering his roots.

“It’s hard to explain but, when I got there, I could already tell that what’s going on there is in my DNA,” he said.

During their visit to Tokyo, Japanese American delegates also met Princess Takamado, a member of the Japanese Imperial Family, at her home. Miyake said it was a treat for everyone, and he was surprised by how personable and informed she is.

“You kind of expect someone like that to be stuffy, but she was very personable,” he said.

While Princess Takamado has no

Police apprehend four in Newport Hills burglary

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue police apprehended four suspects in a Newport Hills residential burglary March 13 after following up on a tip from a neighbor, department spokesperson Ofc. Carla Iafrate said.

The witness called 911 after he saw three unknown persons in a neighboring backyard in Newport Hills. The person was able to obtain a photo of the suspects’ blue truck and its license plate number as they left the area, information he was able to share with police dispatch.

An officer responding to the burglary saw the truck on 119th Avenue Southeast and initiated an emergency stop. One of the four

people — two female and two male — inside the van ran from the scene.

Police closed down 119th from Coal Creek Parkway to Southeast 56th Street as they searched for the suspect. After being told of the operation, Newport Hills Elementary School locked down until police cleared the scene shortly after 1 p.m.

A records check on the suspects’ truck returned as stolen in connection to a residential burglary in Tacoma. The truck was filled with stolen items, at least some of which the Newport Hills burglary victim was able to identify as being taken from their household.

The missing suspect was apprehended less than three hours after the initial stop.

governmental authority, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his administration seek to increase the amount of women serving in leadership positions, said Miyake, who also met Abe in Tokyo. He said women make up 50 percent of the leadership roles within the city of Bellevue.

He said Abe is looking to grow the business relationship between Japan and the United States now that his country is seeing growth after a 10-year downturn.

While Miyake wasn’t serving as a liaison for the city, he said he thinks his visit to

Japan has opened the door between the two for economic development. In the meantime, he said he’ll keep up with the contacts he made there.

Now that he’s been to his ancestral homeland, Japan will stay with him, he said.

“I think there is a sense of greater value for my culture because I’ve been there and experienced everything,” said Miyake.

GM, others need to learn that safety comes before profits

I

t is inexcusable that General Motors withheld critical safety information from the public for more than a decade about a deadly ignition-switch problem.

During that time, at least a dozen people died in crashes in which the faulty switches moved out of the run position, disabling power steering and brakes. Air bags also didn’t inflate.

GM’s new CEO Mary T. Barra has apologized several times to families of those injured or killed in crashes. That’s nice — but not enough.

What’s called for is a harsh and significant financial penalty not only to punish GM, but also to send a message to all manufacturers that problems and mistakes can’t be hidden for the sake of preserving their public image.

That’s already happened in a similar case involving Toyota. The company last week said it will pay $1.2 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for hiding information in a car recall case. In the case, Toyota recalled some models when it discovered floor mats could trap gas pedals and make cars accelerate wildly. However, according to court records, the company recalled some models for the floor mats while knowing that others had the same problem. The company also concealed news about sticky gas pedals that could cause unwanted acceleration.

In GM’s case, the amount of the Toyota settlement should be the starting point for any financial settlement.

If the Toyota settlement is an eye-opener to manufacturers, what happens to GM should serve as a two-by-four to the side of the head. Everyone company wants to have a reputation for quality. But it can’t happen at the cost of killing some customers.

Medicaid

Low-income patients face gap

L

ast June when the Legislature approved the expansion of Medicaid in Washington as part of the Affordable Care Act, health care advocates across the state celebrated. It was an important part of the ACA’s goal of providing healthcare to the one million Washingtonians who had no health insurance.

But there is a missing piece in this equation: an adequate supply of primary care physicians who accept Medicaid patients. This physician Shane McCaulay shortage is the result of unfair Medicaid compensation.

Fortunately our Legislature can fix this problem now by extending a temporary increase in Medicaid payment rates that the federal government funded beginning in 2013. Without this fix, Medicaid reimbursement rates fall far short of covering physicians’ costs to provide care.

For example, Medicaid pays just $39 for an adult routine office follow-up visit, which costs $85 — a $46 loss for the

Question of the week: “Will you support Prop 1 in the April election?”

provider. These losses are not sustainable, and many practices must restrict or exclude Medicaid patients to keep the business alive. With the Medicaid payment increase, that same visit is reimbursed at $77. While still an $8 loss, some providers are able to more easily absorb that.

Although, as a radiologist, the increased rates for primary care won’t directly impact my practice, they greatly affect patient access to care, which ripples out to the whole health care system.

Working with physicians and hospitals, the state saved $33 million in just one year by reducing non-urgent ER use, but the continued success of this program depends on patients being able to receive care from primary care physicians in our community.

Currently 42 percent of Washington children are served by Medicaid. And with the program’s expansion, a growing number of adults will rely on it.

The Legislature expanded Medicaid coverage to help our state’s lower-income families. But to turn that promise of coverage into reality they must act now SEE MEDICAID, 7

Your opinion page cartoon in the March 21 edition was yet another tired reiteration of the old Tea Party mantra: why pay for services that don't directly benefit me? The answer is so obvious it's almost laughable.

We all pay for services that do not directly benefit us. We pay for sewers we don't use, for roads we don't drive upon, for schools our children don't attend, for water we don't drink and for police and fire protection we hope never to need.

Why? Because we all want to live in a civilized society where the greater good is respected, where our families can flourish, and where everyone is safe and secure. If anyone doesn't see the benefit of such a system, perhaps they should just purchase a ticket and go pay a visit to one of the many Third World nations without such benefits. You'll see first-hand the sad results of unbridled self-interest.

The Bandage Ball is expected to gather more than 800 community leaders in sup-

port of Overlake’s new cancer center. First held in 1960 to celebrate the opening of Overlake Hospital, the Bandage Ball has raised more than $10 million in the last 16 years. Last year’s event alone raised $1.1 million for the David and Shelley Hovind Heart and Vascular Center, which provides diagnostic and therapeutic services.

The event includes dinner, dancing and an auction featuring items such as trips to Tuscany, Maui and a private chef ’s dinner at the Columbia Tower Club.

Tickets are $300 per person or $3,000 for a table of 10. For tickets or to volunteer, contact Jennifer Fischer at 425-6885526 or events@overlakehospital.org.

More information is available at www. bandageball.org.

Workshops to look at electrical power lines Puget Sound Energy is holding a series of workshops to provide people an opportunity to learn more about its Energize Eastside project and provide feedback about potential route segments.

Energize Eastside is a project proposed

by PSE to build new, higher capacity electric transmission lines on the Eastside to upgrade the existing transmission system and ensure more dependable, long-term power. The project includes 18 miles of new transmission lines between Renton, through Bellevue, to Redmond.

Neighborhood and community leaders serving on “sub-area” committees will gather information at workshops to share with the project’s Community Advisory Group, which will recommend a route to PSE later this year.

The workshops will be focused on specific geographic areas. Meetings in March and April are workshops; meetings in May are sub-area committee meetings.

Upcoming meetings are from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the following locations: Bellevue meetings (central sub-area, between SR 520 and Interstate 90): April 23 and May 14 at the Hilton Bellevue Hotel, 300 112th Ave. S.E. (Salon A); Redmond meetings (north sub-area, north of SR 520): April 16 and May 7 at Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 N.E. 80th St.; and Renton meetings (south sub-area, south of I-90): April 24 and May 15, Renton Technical College (Building 1, Robert C.

Transportation stalls as Legislature balks at compromise An inability to compromise is being blamed by 41st district legislators for another failure in Olympia to pass a transportation package that would have meant funding for major road projects on the Eastside.

The Washington Legislature passed a supplemental budget before adjourning its session March 13, but left key issues like education, marijuana reform and a transportation package unresolved.

There were fewer disagreements about what major transportation projects to fund than there was about the funding measures needed to pay the bill, according to Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island and Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island.

The package was anticipated to fund Eastside projects that included completion of the new SR-520 floating bridge – without tolling the I-90 bridge – an SR-167/I-405 interchange project and adding HOT Lanes on I-405 from Bellevue to Renton.

Clibborn, chairwoman for the House Transportation Committee, said the transportation package passed by the House last year remained on the table and ready for amending once the Senate provided a bill of its own. The Senate didn't, and now the House bill faces expiration before the next legislative session in January.

Litzow, who serves on the Senate Transportation Committee, said Democrats fought a Republican proposal to redirect sales tax for transportation projects from the state general fund back into funding transportation. He said if taxes were to be

transportation. That didn't gain traction, either.

But the House was not ready to back down because it had an approved plan.

"I already have something that 51 people voted on," said Clibborn, adding transportation tax was the Judy Clibborn Steve Litzow Jane Hague flaw Democrats couldn't get behind in the Republican-majority MCC more story online… plan.

Also tied to the funding measure is a low-income fare of $1.25. Hague said ridership pays for 28 percent of Metro service in King County, which is more than many jurisdictions. A 25-cent across-the-board Metro fare increase proposed to begin in 2015 would raise another $6.6 million annually.

"Our riders here in King County are paying more per ride than almost anywhere else," said Hague. "... This measure is just about protecting what we are about to cut. We already have reduced them."

She said the 40 percent of revenue that would go to local road and other transportation projects would be a benefit to Bellevue.

"They can bond against it, they can use it to apply for other grants," said Hague.

"That's a big deal for Bellevue because they're struggling with their capital infrastructure needs for roads and arterials."

Clibborn said transportation benefit districts could gain momentum in Washington, fractioning off the state into regional pacts, not all of which may have the ability to pass funding packages. She said she doesn't believe eastern Washington could make it work and would still need funding from the state, which is already running out of money.

Litzow said he understands not all Washington counties will wait for the Legislature to approve transportation funding – presumably in 2014.

"I think the counties have to step up and do what they believe is right for their individual county," he said.

The artist as exploiter in ‘The Tutor’

BY DANIEL NASH

Arts Roundup

What’s happening in the arts community

Film set on new media, Rwanda

BELLEVUE REPORTER

Early on in “The Tutor,” there’s a fear, an icky sense of dread, that things between the titular private teacher and his teenage client could go in an inappropriate direction. The burden is on the former of course: a wolfish smile here, a turn THEATER of phrase there, smooth talk so greasy it slides uphill.

Ease your stomachs, people. Ultimately, Village Theatre’s latest musical only threatens to become a story about a July/March romance. But it’s a knowing switcheroo in the service of a complex meditation on the nature of exploitation in art — and, in a broader sense, a story about selfish people learning how to give as much as they take in their relationships.

Make no mistake: Eric Ankrim’s Edmund begins his character arc as a predator, if a chaste one. At the story’s opening, we meet him in his cramped New York apartment as a disheveled writer scribbling longhand notes for his first novel, “a surreal, kaleidoscopic journey through time, place and genre” (a description any writers in the audience will painfully recognize as code for “an overlong manuscript devoid of life or clear direction”). Not content to labor in poverty or share working hours with a full-time job, he falsifies Ivy League credentials to wrangle lucrative afternoon tutoring jobs from the “stupid rich kids” of affluent families.

So he salivates at the opportunity to put on a tweed blazer and double his price for the surly daughter of Upper East Side dwelling Princeton alumni. Enter Sweetie (Katie Griffith, with scheduled alternate performances by Tatum Ludlam), emerging from the mists with a goth punk fashion

A film, “Finding Hillywood,” will be shown from 6-8 p.m. April 22 at the Bellevue Regional Library in Room 1.

It tells the story of how new media in Rwanda plays a role in healing and empowerment.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with producer-director Leah Warshawski.

The film is free and best for ages 16 and older. RSVP is recommended by contacting Kevin Henry at khenry@bellevuewa.gov or 425-452-7886.

The library is located at 1111 110th Ave. N.E.

tolerating each other, they look forward to what have become joint writing sessions. But this dynamic, too, is doomed. Swept up in the book’s romance — and ecstatic to be valued for her thoughts — Sweetie begins to see Edmund as a potential lover. Edmund privately muses that, though his pupil “makes (him) write like Nabokov,” he will never think of her as a Lolita. The statement is a relief until you realize Edmund doesn’t even think of Sweetie as a friend. She’s a muse, a resource, something to be used up for material gain — but a friend? No. Sweetie may be the one who dresses the part, but she’s beset on all sides by vampires with one-sided ambitions.

Edmund, who uses her idealism for inspiration. Her mother, whose desire to see her daughter succeed on the SATs becomes transparent as a means to vicariously relive her own college years. Her father, who would rather his daughter just be “normal” than get to know the person she is. Even strangers eventually clamor for her youthful insight.

“I’m basically a kid,” she cries in the face of events in act two. “Why would you want me to tell you what to think, or how to act? Isn’t that your job? Isn’t someone supposed to tell me?”

Out of the mouths of babes, indeed.

Beth DeVries and Hugh Hastings provide strong, empathetic performances as Sweetie’s parents,

the pseudo-Buddhist, co-op board politicking Esther and the chronically exasperated Richard, whose enduring desire for everyone to just Leave Him Alone is as endearing as it is convincing.

Kirsten Delohr Helland and Matthew Kacergis are delightful as Edmund’s time-hopping literary characters Hildegarde and Sean (both have secondary roles as Pippie, a vegan with impulse control issues, and Sweetie’s pot-addled beau, Bo, respectively).

It’s in their performance that “The Tutor” flexes its muscle as a true writer’s musical. Writing is a solitary and introverted affair, generally not suited for exciting depictions on stage or screen. Many stories work around this obstacle by sidestepping the act of writing altogether, focusing instead on the much-mythologized and often misrepresented “writer’s life” — an archetype that has probably inspired more pseudo-intellectual alcoholics than wordsmiths.

In their fantasy sequences, Hildegarde and Sean are extensions of Edmund’s imagination, but they show off just how unruly the imaginary world can be. So, sure, they’ll act out their creator’s narrative — just as soon as they’ve picked apart every setting, dialogue and action choice he’s made, and made a pretty solid case for why he should just quit altogether.

If that’s not an accurate depiction of the “writer’s life,” accuracy is a lie.

Chick-fil-A’s Bellevue plans a surprise for Denny’s

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Chick-fil-A may have little to say about its plans for a future Bellevue location, but it was news to Northwestern Foods LLC, which had been trying for months to get a lease renewed for its Denny’s restaurant on 116th Avenue Northeast.

“It’s extremely interesting because we didn’t want to close,” said Anthony Murray, manager for Northwestern Foods, adding the landlord didn’t want to renew the Denny’s lease.

“They more than likely are getting a

lot more rent from Chick-fil-A, and that’s why they’re doing it.”

Bobbi Pochman, city Development Services Department, said permits are still in the review process and Chick-fil-A is also conducting more work to be submitted for review.

There is also a boundary line adjustment pending.

“We’re very excited to be entering the (Washington) market,” said Chick-fil-A spokesman Jerry Johnston of the fast food chain’s first two restaurants in the state to open in Tacoma and Lynnwood next year.

He said Chick-fil-A has no infor-

Murray said the Denny’s location will remain open until the end of August, but it is uncertain if Northwestern Foods will be able to find a new location in Bellevue.

“For me, there’s no place either,” said Steve Shafia, owner of neighboring business Pier 1 Auto Sales. His lease expires in July.

Shafia said his location on 116th has worked well for him the past four years, but finding a location for his smaller inventory of about 20 cars may be impossible in Bellevue.

Interlake duo growing together on golf course

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Aleana Groenhout has experienced the full range of emotions during her first three seasons on the prep golf course.

After a freshman season that included an emotionally taxing introduction to the state tournament, a host of medalist rounds and all-conference honors during her three years at Interlake, the senior leader for the Saints is ready for her final act.

“I was kind of nervous as a freshman,” she recalled. “I practiced over the years, continued improving and learning more about the game. It has been a cool ride.”

Groenhout finished in a tie for 13th at state last year as the Saints moved back to Class 3A, after ending the year in third place in the 2A tournament as a sophomore. She held a three stroke lead headed into the second day that year, and also made the cut as a freshman.

Sophomore Delaney Douglas gives head coach Doug Calvert another bonafide KingCo and state title threat, and has also given him the chance to see Groenhout go

from quiet newcomer to the tone-setter of the program.

“The biggest thing she represents is work ethic,” Calvert said. “Aleana is a stallion and when she’s on, she’s phenomenal.”

Groenhout said the intensity and uncertainty of the prep golf scene led to a nervous energy she carried throughout that first season. But playing with Douglas has provided an outlet for competition during practice, as well as a new perspective on enjoying the game.

“She has this way to have fun, all the time, when we’re on the golf course,” Groenhout said of her younger teammate.

“I’ve definitely learned to do that from her.”

Newport’s Li, Kent looking for redemption on golf course Marianne Li had a disappointing finish to the 2013 season, and it had nothing to do with her performance on the course.

An injury at a tournament before the high school postseason began held Newport’s top player from last season out of the KingCo and district meets, and denied

Interlake boys soccer building confidence early in 2014 season

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Interlake will be without first team All-KingCo selection Chad Shapard and second team honoree Nate Lafavour during the 2014 soccer season, but still carry high expectations into the year.

Head coach Dan Peterson said returning second team all league selections Arden Chew and Jose Castillo provide experience and confidence to a group looking to make a playoff push.

“It is really important to have kids who feel like they are supposed to be successful,” he said. “They bring the mentality they are supposed to win.”

Defender Nestor Quijada and forward Issac Reed are two more players Peterson said have the chance to make a major contribution to a playoff run.

“Every year the goal is to play as many games as you can,” he said. “I think we should definitely be a KingCo playoff team, and we will see how we stack up.”

The Saints beat crosstown Newport 3-0 to start the year before taking the defending conference champs from Liberty to overtime before falling 1-0. Wins over Hazen and Mount Si have bolstered the confidence of a group looking to make the 3A state tournament for the first time, after a run of four trips to state as a member of Class 2A from 2009-2012.

Peterson said even against a perennial playoff team in Liberty, his team expected to get the win.

“I think we were confident before that,” he said. “If anything, we were disappointed.

We played well enough to get a draw if not a win.”

Totems after 2A playoffs

Sammamish was only one goal from its second state tournament appearance in three seasons last year before falling 4-3 to Sedro-Woolley in its 2A bi-district playoff game.

The Totems finished in front of Lake Washington in the regular season to claim the conference’s lone 2A postseason spot, and won two games in the tournament to reach the third place game.

Sammamish is 1-2-0 after a loss to Mercer Island Tuesday to begin conference play, and faces Mount Si in Snoqualmie at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

KingCo play underway for Bellevue, Newport

Bellevue lost its conference opener 2-0 to Lake Washington on Tuesday, and faces Juanita Friday in Kirkland at 7:30 p.m.

Newport’s Jordan Thompson earned KingCo Player of the Year honors in his senior season in 2013, but was unable to help his team to a postseason berth.

The Knights have dropped games to Chief Sealth, Hazen and Interlake to start the year, earning a 1-1 draw with Lake Stevens.

A trip to Skyline starts the 4A KingCo season at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Bellevue grad signs with Seahawks

pick of the San Diego Chargers was signed by the hometown Seahawks, the team announced in a media release.

He has played in 18 games at left and right guard since entering the NFL in 2011, and signed with the Seahawks as an unrestricted free agent.

A 2006 Bellevue graduate, Schilling was a standout for the Wolverines on the line and also averaged a double-double on the basketball court as a junior. Parade Magazine tabbed him an All-American as a senior, and he was rated

by Rivals.com as a the second prospect in the state in the Class of 2006. The Wolverines won 3A state football titles in 2002, 2003 and 2004, before falling to Prosser 38-35 in the quarterfinals in 2005.

During his time at Michigan, Schilling earned All Big 10 honorable mention honors during his junior and senior seasons. His first action as a rookie in 2011 came in a preseason game against the Seahawks, an experience he talked about in a Q and A with the Reporter in 2011.

The 6-foot-5, 310 pound Schilling could provide depth for a team that recently lost starter Paul McQuistan from its 2013 offensive line group.

Mucking around the Mercer Slough wetlands

Pathways students Frances and Victoria measure out the water they’ll use for a soil permeation test. DANIEL NASH, Bellevue Reporter view.

One girl, Victoria, commented how it would be cool to look at paramecia, like she’s studied in her science class. Her sample went under the microscope next, a green nub the group had difficulty identifying as plant or insect. Wilson pointed out the hairs growing out

of the sample’s surface that seemed to be the trichomes of a plant. Finally, they looked at a molted snake skin and sediment before the last members of the group arrived.

“Microscope skills are really, really useful in a lab setting,” Wilson said as she invited them to their seats for the next warm-up exercise:

(425) 679-6436

On a recent Thursday a group of middle school students were examining dirt — and they couldn’t have been more thrilled. As children were dropped off at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center, instructor Jackie Wilson had them dig around for soil and plant samples while they waited for their peers to arrive.

Off to the lab, the kids immediately crowded a line of microscopes opposite the entrance to the room.

After they’ve examined their own samples a while, Wilson sets up a video projection microscope in front of a screen, and calls students to come over with their samples.

Larger than life in front of the classroom, the black and brown stuff was nearly unrecognizable from its everyday form — each individual particle’s shape was a distinguishable, separate thing from its typical illusory fluid appearance.

Several students gasped as a mite — in reality, no larger than a speck of dust — darted past the camera’s

a reading of an environmental news article on wetland mitigation.

This was the third week of the eight-week Environmental Pathways after school program, educating middle schoolers in environmental science. The pilot was created by the Pacific Science Center, which operates facilities on the city-owned park, as a scaleddown version of the existing high school Environmental Science and Technology Practicum. The goal of both programs is to introduce students to the potential of careers in environmental science.

“You can mention these careers in a classroom setting,” said practicum instructor Siri Nelson, who co-developed the program curricula with Wilson. “But it means so much more when you see what they involve firsthand.”

After Wilson finished reading the week’s news article and took students’ thoughts, she told them they would be changing their focus of study. In the first two weeks, they

studied energy and built solar cars — an activity students unanimously agreed had been their favorite activity so far. On this particular day they would begin work on wetland ecology, gearing up and trekking out into the park to take samples for lab analysis during their next session.

Soon the group was out in the (park) wilds, armed with soil corers, probe meters, permeation tubes and plant charts to get their hands dirty in wetland delineation — in loose terms, the identification of wetland environments.

“It sounds like you’re playing with soil — and you kind of are — but this is what scientists do to get an idea of the environment they’re studying,” Wilson said to the class.

As they entered the park, they were let loose in groups of two or three in a dry environment to introduce the concept of a control sample. One group used the probe to take measurements of temperature, pH and moisture levels. Another group took a soil sample, squeezing it, rolling it around in their hands and smudging it against their worksheet to get a sense of its texture.

Walking a little farther down the hill, a smaller girl ventured into a creek to bottle a sample of water.

The deeper the group traveled, the wetter the environment became.

“I like to think of wetlands as a cereal bowl,” Wilson said to the group. “If you

pour milk into your cereal bowl, where does it go? Does it stay on the lip? No, it goes to the bottom, right? It’s the same here.”

Wilson pointed to a growth of skunk cabbage as the first sign they were entering wetlands, though the group smelled it well beforehand. Francis, a particularly eloquent tween who identified quantum physics as her favorite branch of science, wrinkled her nose and noted that it was an “apt name.”

At the next site, Wilson asked one of her interns, Ashlyn Sloane, to lead them in “the bounce test.” As a group, they jumped up and down, laughing when the ground began to shake under them.

“Because the ground is so saturated, it’s like a bowl of water and we’re making a ripple,” Sloane said. “If we all work together, we’ll see if we can wobble this tree.”

The group agreed to identify the area as Bounce Tree and, with detective work from the next battery of tests, they decided the area was a scrub-shrub wetland, notable for it’s low-growing flora.

The next and last site was even wetter, and presented the group with a conundrum. The presence of Bog Labrador Tea strongly suggested it was a bog. But bogs are acidic, and the hydrology analysis turned up a 7 pH — confoundingly neutral.

Wilson suggested the area could be in ecological transition. The group wasn’t perturbed — the day was done, but they would be able to study their samples in the lab the next week.

Marilyn Joanne Fike

Marilyn Joanne Bundy was a girl of seven when she and her family moved to Seattle’s Mt. Baker neighborhood. There she befriended a new Sunday school playmate, Dick Fike.

Inseparable from that time to this, she and Dick were 10 when they had their first date, dressing up and going downtown to see a movie. As students at Whitman College, they married at 20.

Within a decade the couple had four children: Rick, Jef, Melissa and Marta -- and love to spare. They’d need it, as well as Marilyn’s remarkable calm and presence of mind when it came to caring for and supporting their youngest, born with serious medical issues that required numerous surgeries and the exuberant energy of a mother fiercely intent on her daughter’s survival.

Marta survived, and thrived, allowing Marilyn time to volunteer with The March of Dimes, distinguishing herself as a capable leader who later traveled the U.S. to train other volunteers.

Fun was foremost in the Fike family. Marilyn and Dick bought a Cessna 172, a four-seat craft that -- while their children were still young and lightweight -- allowed them to take to the sky together. Marilyn became as competent a navigator as she was a pilot, flying as far south as Acapulco and as far east as New Orleans, with frequent family excursions in the western states.

Dick built a cabin on Lopez Island and this sanctuary in the San Juans became a treasured place for the Fikes, remaining Marilyn’s favorite destination throughout her lifetime.

Once her children became young adults, Marilyn turned her attention to a job at The Bullitt Foundation, ultimately becoming Director of Administration, Assistant to the President and bookkeeper for over $100 million in assets. But the fun and games weren’t over.

A 40th wedding anniversary gift to the couple from their children kick-started a multitude of “second honeymoons,” and from then on, when time and money allowed, Marilyn and Dick would travel the world. She thrived on their adventures in France (her favorite), Italy, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Turkey, Croatia, Austria, Greece and Switzerland.

An extraordinary woman, Marilyn was dearly loved by many, and when at age 79 she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she proved strong and resolute throughout her treatment, moving with Dick to Aljoya Thornton Place, a continuing care retirement community. There, the community truly came together. And when her cancer recently reappeared and no further treatment was appropriate, she said, “Oh bother! This will be inconvenient for so many!” She was always thinking of others.

Marilyn, a lifelong Seattle resident was born June 3, 1933 and passed at home on March 12, 2014, a few months after celebrating her 60th wedding anniversary. She has six surviving siblings (Emory, John, Mac, Jim, Steve and Jennifer Bundy) in addition to her husband (Dick) and four children Rick (Carla), Jef, Melissa (Mary Lou) and Marta (Virginia) and two grandsons, Joe and Jake. A Memorial Service will be held at the Center for Spiritual Living, 5801 Sand Point Way NE, on April 5, 2014 at 10:00 AM. The family welcomes expressions of love in the form of gifts to Odyssey Gentiva Hospice Foundation (3350 Riverwood Pkwy, #1400, Atlanta, GA 30339), the Center for Spiritual Living or your favorite charity.

Five Bellevue Scouts earn Eagle award Five Scouts from Troop 626 in Bellevue received their Eagle Scout Award in a Court of Honor ceremony Sunday, March 16.

Ryan Cambron, Chris Farmer, Richard Gartenberg, Evan McFarlane and Jacob Thackray received the award, the highest rank in Scouting. Former state Attorney General Rob McKenna, an Eagle Scout himself, was the guest speaker at the ceremony.

Troop 626 draws Scouts from the south Bellevue area including Newport, Sammamish and International high schools.

Ryan Cambron began scouting at age 7 and has been an active member of Boy Scouts for the better part of his life. His future plans involved attending Western Washington University next fall and study graphic design in advertising. He also plans to continue to play music in bands and continue working to grow as a musician in the coming years.

Chris Farmer started his scouting journey in first grade as a Tiger Cub Scout at Puesta del Sol Elementary in Bellevue. He learned to speak fluent Spanish while attending the Spanish Immersion Program.

He joined the Boy Scouts and Troop 626 when he was 11. He is a sophomore at Interlake High School where he plays football.

For the future, he is considering college or the military.

Richard Gartenberg started scouting as a Tiger cub and has been in scouts every year since then, even the three years when he was living in England.

From left: Chris Farmer, Evan McFarlane, former Attorney General Robert McKenna, Richard Gartenberg, Jacob Thackray and Ryan Cambron. COURTESY PHOTO

He has been on a 100-mile hike, learned to swim and eventually joined the school’s water polo and swim teams. He most recently become a member of the school's DECA (marketing) state competition.

Evan McFarlane also began scouting as a Tiger cub. He dropped out for a few years, but rejoined scouting in the sixth grade.

For his Eagle project, he led a group of fellow scouts and friends in clearing and cleaning-up a trail in the Newcastle Historic Cemetery.

Outside of Boy Scouts, he is involved in boxing and wrestling at Newport High School. After graduation, he plan to attend either Western Washington Univer-

sity or Linfield College in Oregon and is interested in studying business and economics, and plan to major in marketing and minor in Spanish.

Jacob Thackray joined scouting at age 11. He has completed many hours of community service and has completed such scouting activities as a 102-mile hike at Phlimont in New Mexico and a 75-mile canoe trip at Lake Bowron in Canada.

He is a senior at Newport High School and has been in a Spanish Immersion program since kindergarten and can read, write, and speak Spanish fluently. In college, he wants to pursue majors in economics, business, or engineering, but have not yet decided on which.

For 20 years, Bellevue resident Robin Franzi worked as a corporate financial analyst. Then two years ago, she learned her kidneys were failing.

“Sheer exhaustion,” is how she explains it. “But because of the way I was pushing myself and always did, I had been exhausted for a long time and had ignored it.”

When she could no longer ignore it, she went to see her doctor and learned an autoimmune disease had damaged her kidneys so badly that she needed to start dialysis, the treatment that keeps a person alive by cleaning the blood when kidneys can’t.

That was Mother's Day weekend 2012. Now, nearly two years later, the Northwest Kidney Centers patient gives herself dialysis at home. Now, she said, that is her “job.” It’s also a way for her to take control of her medical treatment.

During March, National Kidney Health Month, Franzi took control another way — by flying to Washington, D.C., as a volunteer with Dialysis Patient Citizens to lobby Congress to maintain funding for kidney patients now and in the future.

She made arrangements to receive dialysis treatments at a clinic two of the five days she was there. The rest of the time she met with representatives from Washington state and Utah — seven in one day.

Robin Franzi is attached to a dialysis machine about four hours a day, for a minimum of four days a week. COURTESY PHOTO “It was like Shark Tank on Groundhog Day on fast forward,” she said of the whirlwind experience, all at a blustery 30 degrees.

This was Franzi’s second trip to the nation’s capitol to lobby for kidney patients. She believes speaking out is as important as knowing the facts about kidney disease. Facts like these: One in seven adult Americans — more than 30 million people — have chronic kidney disease; most don’t know it.

Chronic kidney disease is progressive and irreversible; it can be slowed down with nutrition, exercise and medication.

Simple tests at a doctor’s office can detect kidney disease in early stages, before the damage is severe. Ask your caregiver if you are at risk.

“Kidney disease hits all ages, shapes, forms and there’s many types,” Franzi said. “It often goes undetected for a long time. Pay attention, learn what your kidneys do and make sure they're functioning. I can’t articulate well what it's like to not have them. You don’t want to find out.”

And she believes through research care can be improved. That’s why she put herself out there as a patient lobbyist. “I felt it was very important to be there. I felt fortunate to be a voice for other patients who weren’t able to be there that week,” she said.

FIREWOOD

Dry & CustomSplit Alder, Maple & Douglas Fir Speedy Delivery & Best Prices!

425-312-5489 NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
