Surrey Downs neighbors get light rail surprise BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue councilmembers say Sound Transit has been full of surprises lately, and that’s not been a good thing. The latest came during Monday’s public comments, with Betsy Blackstock of the Surrey Downs Community Club alerting the
council to letters received by residents there that parts of their properties may be condemned to further development of an East Main light rail station. Blackstock said these notices were mostly received by residents on 111th Avenue Southeast, in the northeast corner of Surrey Downs. This was a surprise, she said, since these properties never came up during a

60-percent design review by Sound Transit earlier this year. Blackstock asked the council to uphold its position that no partial property acquisitions occur. Mayor Claudia Balducci, who also serves on the Sound Transit Board, later revealed the agency needs about 5-10 feet of those properties in order to erect a sound wall to mitigate noise from the East Main station. This was
information she received only after inquiring to Sound Transit after hearing about the letters sent to residents on 111th, she said. “This seems to be a pattern where we’re surprised by things,” said Councilmember Jennifer Robertson. Drawing the most contention currently are SEE LIGHT RAIL, 2

Transit ridership in Bellevue has increased 144 percent over the past decade, but Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace found himself Monday still struggling with a master plan that calls for dedicating traffic lanes for buses. The city's transportation commission has spent the past two years developing the transit master plan, a public hearing for which will take place June 26, ahead of a council vote. During an overview of the plan Monday, Wallace repeated concerns about taking away lanes on Bellevue arterials from motorists at peak traffic times to accommodate buses, adding there is already a lack of right of way property the city could use for new lanes. "I have real concerns germinating seeds in a plan like this by putting projects in it that I don't think belong," Wallace said, adding projects in the TMP wouldn't lead
him to oppose the entire master plan. Of the 107 capital projects proposed in the plan's Capital Vision to improve speed and reliability are eight HOV lane projects, including one on Bellevue Way to be constructed by the state Department of Transportation for better commuter connectivity to the South Bellevue Park and Ride, which will later become a light rail station. Mayor Claudia Balducci said the overall goal of the city should be getting the most people and vehicles through a constrained space in the quickest amount of time, which will likely mean changes to Bellevue streets. She added it’s not a matter of prioritizing one mode of transportation over the other. "If it works, all modes should benefit," she said. Councilmember John Stokes said he also wants to make sure enough research has been done, calling plan development a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to ensure SEE BUS LANES, 16
Major paving project coming to I-405 in downtown Bellevue BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The state Department of Transportation plans to start a two-mile overlay project early next month on all southbound lanes of I-405, from Northup Way to Southeast Eighth Street. The $5.06 million project includes grinding more than an inch of surface and filling it in with new pavement. That stretch of interstate was last paved over 19 years ago, said
Kris Olsen for WSDOT. "It is due for new surface there because it's filled with cracks and new potholes," she said, adding the project improvements should hold for up to 15 years. WSDOT has set June 8 as its tentative date to begin the overlay project, which Olsen said will be restricted to nighttime work and closures, beginning as early as 8 p.m. Sunday to Friday and up to 5 a.m. Saturday work could begin as early as 7 p.m. with a Sunday morning reopening by 7 a.m., she said.

There also may be times when the northbound 405 HOV lane is closed for replacing and repairing guardrails, Olsen said. According to WSDOT, around 175,000 vehicles travel this section of I-405 daily.

are considering reaching out to the “higher-ups” within the agency. Arjun Sirohi, chairman for the Surrey Downs East Link Committee, told the Reporter on Wednesday partial property acquisition of any of the at least 10 single-family residences in the neighborhood goes against what was promised by Sound Transit as far back as three years ago. The letter, he said, indicates up to 40 commercial and residential properties could be affected from South Bellevue to Interlake. He added the letter never indicates why the acquisitions are necessary. “They only say that these properties are required and then later on they can decide what and how much,” Sirohi said. “That’s the difficult part in dealing with Sound Transit.”

Veterans deserve VA facilities to help, not hurt health needs
I
t’s a sad commentary that as we note the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when troops stormed the beaches at Normandy, France, our country is caught up in the scandal involving our Veteran’s Administration hospitals. Veterans, in World War II and other wars that followed, put their lives on the line for our country. Now we learn that many of those veterans, whose lives were shattered in combat, are suffering again as they wait for care in VA facilities. It is unacceptable that this has happened. It would be unconscionable if we do not fix the problem — now. On our Opinion page today, Jeffrey Howard of Redmond tells of joining the Marines at age 17 and serving in Vietnam. He was sent home after 15 months with a spine that had a permanent curvature from carrying the weight of a 46-pound mortar on his back. He tells of having numerous surgeries but, as he puts it, “won’t go near a VA facility.” Who can blame him after hearing stories like his from all around the country. We need to stop here for a moment to acknowledge that there are many physicians and other employees of VA hospitals and facilities who are dedicated in their care for our veterans. And many veterans do get prompt and quality care when they need it. Nevertheless, too many stories have been surfacing that some officials game and skew the system to make themselves look good, all while veterans suffer. Without question, the VA system is massive: 80 million outpatient visits a year at 1,700 VA clinics and hospitals. However, that can’t be an excuse when someone’s health — or life — is on the line. Documents reportedly show that the VA has known since 2008 that employees were manipulating the scheduling system. Today, it’s obvious that little or nothing has been done to change that. It’s time to fix the system. — Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

he Inspector General’s preliminary report is confirming dozens of VA clinics and hospitals are gaming the system at the expense of sick veterans. It has also come out that the Obama transition team was warned in 2008 that appointment wait time problems had been festering for decades. Reports from both the IG and GAO have since repeatedly outlined the problem. Whose desk did they get filed in? What happened to the president’s repeated campaign promises to drag the VA into the 21st century and solve all its problems? President Obama and Congress substantially increased the VA budget, Jeffrey Howard so we credit them for that. The president appointed former general Eric Shinseki to head the department and charged him with making things right. Where has Shinseki been for the past five years and what has he done? Apparently not much, since the situation is now proving to be markedly worse than when he took charge. At 17, I joined the Marine Corps and was soon on the way to Vietnam.

There were no welcome home activities, and PTSD had yet to be described. Fallacious movie portrayals and biased reporting bred malicious prejudice against hiring Vietnam vets for decent jobs. Decades of self-medication with cheap whisky, a supporting family and a strong wife eventually defeated the devils of the mind. I have been under the surgeon’s knife numerous times since — twice for spinal, and twice for shoulder work among others, and won’t go near a VA facility. We can afford private insurance, but millions of my fellow veterans can’t and must depend on the VA for treatment. This metastasizing scandal in VA medical facilities is inexcusable. Administrations past and present have promised reform, but problems just get worse. The system is huge, with more than 200,000 staffers responsible for more than eight million veterans.

Feeling lost – and then panic
T
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4
here’s nothing like getting lost to bring on panic. Recently I drove to Woodinville to meet a friend. The meeting never took place. I got lost. I don’t have GPS. I know my way around the Puget Sound region and normally am a good navigator. As a passenger I can follow the red arrow on my phone’s map. Once I’m in the driver’s seat the arrow could be guiding me around Mars. My directions led me to the wrong freeway exit and a drive toward somewhere else. Duvall, maybe? As soon as I realized I was late for the meeting, the situation became worse. I found myself in the middle of a street-widening project, the kind with warning signs: “Drive slowly. Expect Ann Oxrieder frequent stops.” My recent confusion took place in territory that was somewhat familiar. Much more frightening is getting lost in another country. That’s happened to me twice, once in Tokyo and once in Seville. In Tokyo on an educational exchange, I discovered that my guide and fellow educators disappeared from a store. Or so I thought. As it turned out they were still in the store when I disappeared. I searched for them in a nearby park and panicked. We were due at the Ministry of Education in 10
minutes. The only Japanese expressions I knew were “good morning,” “goodbye,” “thank you” and something like, “Please accept my humble business card.” But with a bit of knowledge and a huge amount of luck, I found my way to the right building and even made it through the guard station without a security pass. In Seville I thought I was retracing an earlier walk my husband and I had taken. Instead I ended up a mile or so from our hotel in unfamiliar territory during a downpour. Finally I spotted a familiar church tower to guide me, but still had a terrible time navigating through the maze of streets in the old quarter of the city. Torrents of panic pelted me as hard as the rain. Getting lost intellectually is as frustrating as getting lost in a place. When I meet with my writing coach to talk about how to bring the many threads of my story together, I leave our sessions with the same lost feeling. There’s no GPS, no map or person walking down the street to ask for directions. Just as I found my way around Tokyo and Seville, I expect I’ll find my way out of my current muddle. But not before I quell the panic.

pervasive incentives led to sweeping thousands of sick vets under the rug to enhance the facade of efficiency. What we are seeing here is an informative peek into the maw of “single payer” health care — something my liberal friends dream about constantly. It looks good in theory, but eventually leads to rationing, lousy care, surly staffs, maltreatment and, in the end, long and often fatal wait times. Our veterans are actually dying, denied treatment while awaiting appointments, totally ignored by the system. Trying to reform the medical equivalent of the U.S. Postal Service with more money and self serving demands from Congress is only more of the same. Perhaps it is time to send these deserving veterans to civilian doctors using some form of voucher system instead of placing them on secret waiting lists while they waste away and pass on untreated. The VA is the typical aging, bloated, crumbling, inefficient government bureaucracy, led by a man who has apparently done nothing to improve it in over five years. Replacing Eric Shinseki with yet another drone chair warmer won’t cure the patient, but it is the credible place to start. Then it is Congress’ duty to grab this headless monster by the stacking swivel and reform it from the bottom up. Our veterans swore an oath and signed a blank check payable “up to and including my life” for the honor of serving this country. They earned our gratitude and, above all, the right to quality and efficient treatment of their illnesses as they head into their sunset years. Jeffrey S. Howard grew up and lives in Redmond.

The history and growth of origami art BY DANIEL NASH
Arts Roundup
What’s happening in the arts community
Kazu Kibuishi at Bellevue Library
BELLEVUE REPORTER
The latest exhibit at the Bellevue Arts Museum will invite its viewers to think about how they can produce similar art, if not art on the same level. “Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami,” which opened May 16, presents both a historical perspective and contemporary review of the art form. Though origami is strongly associated with Japan, folded paper art enjoyed parallel, but separate, evolutions in the West. Spaniards were fond of using the art of papiroflexia to make pajaritas, folded birds more humble in appearance than their Japanese crane cousins. Germans were more fond of constructing cute-but-complex papierfaltien stars and other rigidly geometric patterns. German educator Friedrich Friable incorporated papierfalten into the curriculum of the kindergarten system he pioneered in 1837, believing his hobby would help children develop their fine motor skills. “What I find fascinating about
Author Kazu Kibuishi will come to the Bellevue Library at 2 p.m. June 7 to discuss his “Amulet” series of graphic novels. The “Amulet” series tells the story of a young girl named Emily, her younger brother Navin, and their adventures in the mystical otherworld of friends and foes they find beneath their home. Kibuishi will sign copies of his series and may provide hints about its upcoming sixth volume.

At left is the finished form of “Emperor Scorpion, opus 593.” At right is a diagram of the folds in the piece. ROBERT J.

You’re exercising the haptic skills of the hand and the mathematical mind. You’re solving a puzzle.” Fröbel’s kindergarten model made its way over to Japan in the late 19th century, after internal political upheaval opened the country’s borders
to the outside world. There, German designs were “cross-pollinated,” Catalani said, with traditional Shinto forms to create what we commonly know as origami today. Regardless, paper folding was still considered kid’s stuff. It would be in the 20th century, under the influence of Akira Yoshizawa, that the practice would accumulate respect as SEE PAPER, 15

A multi-family tax exemption may spur property owners to develop more in Bellevue, but City Councilmember Jennifer Robertson is worried about unexpected side effects.
City could use program to incentivize affordable housing development BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Chris McAboy and Allie Charneski sit outside the shuttered A Better Bath and Kitchen, where they hope to open a recreational pot store, on 130th Avenue Northeast. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter an administrative office and not a recreation center has proven useless in reversing the decision, McAboy said. “We have had a chance to interview the regional coordinator at the Girl Scouts, and all the information she’s given us leads to this not being a recreational center,” McAboy said. The liquor control board tells the Reporter it does not discuss matters surrounding pending licensure of private businesses. McAboy said there have been several meetings with WSLCB officials in Olympia, but to no avail. “Luckily, my partner’s dad is a lawyer, and he’s willing to go all in for us,” McAboy said.

When Chris McAboy learned he’d snagged a highly coveted ranking in a lottery held by the Washington State Liquor Control Board that would allow him to open a recreational pot store in Bellevue, his parents refinanced their home to help him accomplish his dream. He and his girlfriend, Allie Charneski, had the added luck of a landlord willing to lease a storefront to them on 130th Avenue Northeast. And the city of Bellevue cleared the structure several times and were great to work with, said McAboy. So it was surprising and disheartening when the couple found out they were being dropped from consideration for licensure by the liquor control board based on the proximity of the store to the Girl Scouts of Western Washington’s administrative office. State regulations prohibit pot shops from opening within 1,000 feet of a recreation center. Arguing the Girl Scouts of Western Washington’s location on the 13000 block of Northeast 20th Street identifies itself as
As an incentive for affordable housing construction, the city is exploring options to use state-granted authority to allow developers tax exemptions on multi-family additions that include such units. Arthur Sullivan, a housing specialist with
A Regional Coalition for Housing, led Monday’s presentation to the council, where he explained how the exemption works and how it can be modified to fit Bellevue’s needs. If adopted, the council would identify residential target areas where it desires multi-family and affordable housing development

goes a long way. These days, there are more companies coming out with chocolate that isn’t sweetened with sugar, like the brand Coco Polo, which uses stevia leaf. There are a lot of recipes online for making raw chocolate brownies — try 1 cup of walnuts, 1 cup of dates, 3-4 tablespoons of raw cacao powder, a tablespoon of vanilla and a pinch of salt, mixed in a food processor until starting to clump. Press them into a pan or roll them into balls – these can be kept in the freezer for a quick fix. ■ Fruit. Local fruit is abundant in the Pacific Northwest, and when it’s in season, the taste is phenomenal. Cherries, stone fruit and berries all make delicious snacks.

ooking to satisfy your sweet tooth in a more nutritious way? There are many sugar alternatives that are much better for the body than highly-refined sugars that are being used in the processed food industry these days. In fact, a lot of the processed, white sugar that’s out there normally does more damage than good. As someone who has always had a tendency towards sweet foods, but also incredibly sensitive to the effects of white sugar, I have spent a lot of time looking for ways to satisfy my sweet tooth in a more natural, plantJami Scott based way. Here are my top tips for your sweet cravings: ■ Make a sweet spread. Using any dried fruit you like (apricots and dates are great), soak in hot water for 20 minutes to 1 hour. Then, drain off almost all liquid depending on what consistency is desired, and whiz it up in your blender until smooth. What you’ve got is a paste you can spread on toast, or use in cooking and baking. Make a larger batch and store in the fridge for a few weeks. ■ Honey is a whole food sweetener. The great thing about honey, particularly the unpasteurized kind, is that it contains minerals and nutrients that make it more nutritious than sugar. Plus, honey is sweeter than table sugar, which means less is required. I like using honey in baking, and it’s great to use in sauces and dressings. ■ Bananas. Let your bananas sit on the counter until they’re starting to get brown — this is when the sugar content is the highest. Then, use them in baking by mashing them up or cut them into chunks and freeze them to make a delicious Banana Nice Cream (recipe below). ■ Chocolate cravings? A dark chocolate bar has 70 percent cocoa or more so a little

Summer Fun
The art of the (foam) sword
L
ast summer, a pack of neighborhood boys ran up to my porch shouting about a sword fight in the park. My son quickly joined the pack and they disappeared around the corner, leaving behind a trail of dust and some household chores. He came back an hour later, sweaty and grinning, to tell me he learned about sword fighting. Really learned, he said. We all have those sword fighting fantasies, which come out when there are empty wrapping paper or poster tubes in the house and I think there’s a little Aragorn or D’Artagnan in all of us. Possibly even Inigo Montoya. Some of the best historical figures and book characters are skilled in Darcy Brixey the art of swordsmanship but most of us have never really tried it. The library has a collection of movies and books featuring these characters and more, and other materials covering martial arts training, but a chance to actually engage in battle has arrived.
Grab your friends and family members and come to the library to learn the art of the sword. Anyone ages 10 and up can come and learn the art of the (foam) sword and techniques and strategies for medieval group combat, from Foam Sword Parties, LLC. These events emphasize sportsmanship, athleticism and strategy. There are two upcoming battles this summer. Just in time for Father’s Day, the Bellevue Library will be hosting the first event from 2-3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 14. Lake Hills library will be the next battleground from 2-3:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 12. Space is very limited in these programs, so register from the Classes & Programs and classes page at www.kcls.org. Weapons are provided for this event, so leave yours at home. After your first battle you’ll be much better prepared the next time someone brings out a wrapping paper tube. 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.
A historic flight for D-Day 70th anniversary BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
ArcWatchWorks.com
The Historic Flight Foundation will commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied Forces invaded Normandy, by putting veteran aircraft in the sky and over western Washington on Friday. Leading the formation, which first departs Mukilteo at 9 a.m., will be a
P-51 Mustang that flew four sorties over the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. "You get a difference of opinion, you know, but most will acknowledge the importance the P-51 played in winning the war, perhaps the best fighter in World War II," said John Sessions, the founder of the Historic Flight Foundation who also will pilot the lead plane during Friday's event. Sessions's father is a WWII veteran and his mother was his last nurse during the war, so he was raised on that history. He said vintage aircraft are attractive for youth and help
tell the story of the country's "greatest generation." The formation will fly all over the western Washington area, departing Paine Field at noon Friday for Lake Forest Park, Woodinville, Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, New Castle and others. Sessions said the foundation reached out to various western Washington city governments and chambers of commerce and came up with about 40 responses in support of the flight. Along with the Historic Flight Foundation, the event is being made possible through cooperation
with the Heritage Flight Museum of Skagit County, Flying Heritage Collection of Paine Field and Mark Peterson of Boise. When in formation, the planes will form a "V" to represent victory, and will leave only eight feet between them from wingtip to wingtip. "It's similar to the challenge that was confronted in World War II," he said of reaching more than 30 targets in one day, but Friday's sorties are purely educational. "This is simply an act to get people to reflect on what happened 70 years ago." Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Three Bellevue organizations will receive retired Metro Vanpool vans. The King County Council unanimously approved the donation to Hopelink, LifeWire and the Salvation Army – Eastside. “These van transfers repurpose county vehicles so that agencies supporting our youth, elderly and other underserved populations get connected to the vital community services they need,” said council Vice Chair Jane Hague, who represents Bellevue. The retired vans have been part of Metro Transit’s vanpool fleet for at least six years and have reached the end of their service life. When the vans reach this age, they are considered surplus. Those not donated are sold.

Bellevue boys win third straight state lacrosse title BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue knew things would be different this time around. After losing to Issaquah 6-5 earlier in the season, the Wolverines’ first and only loss to an in-state foe in two years, players and coaches vowed to make amends, should the opportunity arise in the state tournament. Saturday in front of a crowd of more than 1,800 at Seattle Memorial Stadium they did just that, recording the first shutout in state title game history in an emphatic 8-0 win over the Eagles to claim their third consecutive state championship. “We did a great job and were really prepared,” head coach John Baumann said. “We were excited to get another chance to play them.” Hank Bethke got things going for the attack with a pair of first quarter goals, before Augie Fratt found the back of the net to put his team ahead 3-0 at halftime. That was more than senior goalie Cole Cansler and the defense would need, as Baumann said assistant coach Ashkaan Jaberi prepared a solid game plan his team executed to perfection. “Team defense is key in lacrosse,” he said. “The key was execution and they did that tonight on the big stage.” Cansler finished with seven saves, and
said after the game he and his teammates did not need any reminder of their setback to Issaquah earlier in the season. “We definitely talked about it,” he said. “We thought we played one of our worst games. We wanted the payback.” Cansler and the defense continued to assert control in the second half, stifling Issaquah scoring chances and dominating the possession off ground balls, something Eagles’ coach Brandon Fortier said played a critical role in the outcome. “They strip the ball and come up with ground balls,” Fortier said of the Wolverines, adding his own team seemed pressed by the Wolverines’ early advantage. “They have great lacrosse IQ and are disciplined. They are solid.” While the title was far from a first for Baumann and a group of Wolverines that now own three consecutive championships and four of the past five, he said every trophy earns a unique place because of the journey. “I love watching them complete their goal,” he said, adding there was some extra motivation to see a pair of four-year varsity players do so in Bethke and Eric Haehl.

his future at the Ohio State University. But his best moment had nothing to do with his own success in his final game as a Wolverine. Younger brother Joe also scored two goals in the win, and Hank said the chance to play his final year with Bellevue alongside Joe will provide the most lasting memories. “It has been cool to watch him grow as a lacrosse player,” Hank said. “We’re best

It’s great to win this together.” Interlake captured its fourth straight team scoring state title, led by the fourth place finish of Grant Cole. The Saints now own the past two 3A championships, to go with 2A crowns in 2011 and 2012. Cole shot 72-74-146, and finished six strokes behind state champion Spencer Tibbits of Fort Vancouver, while Andy Liu shot 81-71-152 to finish the tournament in eighth place for the Saints.

Bellevue boys repeat on track BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue won its third straight team scoring title in boys track and field, bolstered by a host of individual and relay championships. Senior Budda Baker won the 100 meter dash title for the Wolverines, running a wind-adjusted 10.77 seconds in the finals to best Lincoln’s Rayshaun Miller. He came back to claim the state title in the 200, running 21.87 to finish just in front of Hanford’s Ben Kelly.

Constituents protest vague wording on state-required policy for use of isolation and restraint devices on special needs students in schools BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue School Board postponed a vote on a restraint policy for special needs students after constituents came out en masse to protest its wording. In 2013, in response to reports of punitive use of “isolation rooms” in Longview School District special education classrooms, the Washington State Legislature passed a law requiring schools to report restraint of students with individualized education programs to parents within 24 hours and to share the district’s isolation and restraint policy with said parents. The law effectively requires districts to have an isolation and restraint policy in place, prompting the school board to vote one in. The state law limits the use of isolation and restraint — the latter including actions involving pepper spray, batons or tasers — to incidents in which an individualized education student harms another student or school employee. However, the policy placed on the school board agenda Tuesday authorized staff to use such force on students exhibiting “unpredicted, spontaneous behavior.” “If the school board is going to have a policy, it cannot be vague in language,” said Jennifer Carls, president of the Bellevue Special Needs PTA.

Clinic states case against Light Rail site BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
Note: The public hearing for Sound Transit’s Operations and Maintenance Satellite Facility, held Thursday evening at the Bellevue Coast Hotel, came after press deadline; The Reporter was given an advance copy of Andrea Duffield’s planned statement to Sound Transit. The owner of a children’s therapy clinic in the Bel-Red corridor testified before Sound Transit Thursday, stating that one of the possible sites for the organization’s Operations and Maintenance Satellite Facility would be “devastating” to their ability to work with developmentally challenged children. Development on the site along Northeast 20th Street would displace MOSAIC Children’s Therapy Clinic and 100 other businesses. Andrea Duffield is the owner and president of MOSAIC. The clinic provides behavioral intervention for children on the autism spectrum, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapies. Services include aquatic therapy sessions, nutrition assessments and behavioral “boot camps.” Duffield’s company accepts Medicaid clients, a feature she said is rare among private providers and makes MOSAIC a crucial institution for its clients. “MOSAIC is the only private comprehensive therapy clinic in the greater Seattle area providing this depth and
breadth of services from birth through adulthood,” Duffield said at the public hearing. Sound Transit continues to work toward Phase 2 extensions of its Light Rail system, including East Link light rail, to be completed in 2023. The expansion will expand Sound’s fleet of vehicles nearly threefold, necessitating a second station for their upkeep. The satellite facility is scheduled for completion in 2020 to accommodate the influx of additional trains. The agency is considering three potential sites for the satellite facility, each leaning on the Bel-Red area in some capacity. The first, south of Scriber Lake Park in Lynnwood, would require storage tracks on the old BNSF Railway line in Bellevue. The second would be located at the old International Paper facility along 120th Avenue Northeast, purchased by Sound Transit for $23,125,000 in June 2013. The third site, south of state Route 520, would occupy a block of land including Plaza 520. Each site has its own enclave trying to keep Sound Transit from their doorstep. Duffield said it would be “very challenging” to find another location comparable to MOSAIC’s current home. The location includes a number of features that make it ideal for the business’s purposes. It’s large, with capacity to expand. It’s close to the highway, yet shielded from highway noises. The parking lot contains children who might escape, yet appears open because of surrounding greenery. Harsch Investment Properties was willing to work with the business on adding improvements to the space, such as “floating” floors with triple the padding underneath the wood. Duffield said relocation assistance packages that have been described to her wouldn’t come close to the cost of both moving and recreating the environment she has in Plaza 520. If MOSAIC did have to move, they might no longer be able to afford to take on Medicaid patients, she said.

an art form. Yoshizawa pioneered “wet folding,” published 18 books on origami art and founded the International Origami Center in Tokyo — efforts that earned him the Order of the Rising Sun from Emperor Hirohito in 1983. He invented an estimated 50,000 designs, perhaps one of the most impressive of which is on display in the first chamber of the BAM exhibit: a fly no larger than a pencil’s eraser. The diminutive piece is a jarring example of the work that can go into origami.

In addition to the words “unpredicted” and “spontaneous,” Carls questioned the vagueness of “District staff ” and whether this meant all members of the school system’s staff. She also expressed concerns about the examples of restraint devices laid out in the school policy, taken from the definition in the state law. “If my daughter walked into this room, she may get upset,” Carls said. “I know that could happen because she’s walking into a room full of people she doesn’t know. I can predict that. If you see her walk in here (and) she begins to exhibit a strange
“It leads you to understand the amount of folds that go into even the smallest works,” Catalani said. “You only see the few outermost folds, but there are many more you don’t see.” The touring exhibit, most recently arrived from the Peoria Riverfront Museum in Illinois, is broken down into three sections: animal forms, geometrics and modern applications of folding in the real world. Robert J. Lang, co-curator of the exhibit, provides a direct demonstration of the hidden side of origami in his contributions to the animal forms section of “Folding Paper.” Lang’s three pieces — “Emperor Scorpion, opus 593” “Soaring Red-Tailed
Hawk, opus 601” and “Bull Moose, opus 413” — come accompanied by crease pattern diagrams showing exactly how they were created. Their intricacy is such that they work as pieces of art themselves, Catalani said. The diagrams also demonstrate the culture of sharing among origami artists, he said. Because origamists practice across many nations, cultures and languages, the diagramming method developed by Yoshizawa acts as its own common language. And that language is changing, as evidenced by the installations included in the exhibit. Though purists will insist that true origami consists of only one unsullied and uncut sheet of paper, many of the installa-
June 6, 2014 [15] tions are beautifully rendered with multiple sheets of paper and incisions galore. “Origami is a language and, like a language, it changes with use,” Catalani said. Catalani said he was particularly excited to include South African artist Sipho Mabona’s “The Plague,” in which sheets of dollar bills appear to transform into a swarm of locusts. The display involves dozens of individual locusts in particular placements, requiring Madonna to be flown out from Switzerland to oversee the installation. For this reason, not every host of the tour can include “The Plague.” Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com
behavior, you may see that as threatening. Because you don’t know what to expect. You couldn’t predict that would happen. You may feel the need to protect yourself and not realize that, given the right intervention, she would be able to calm down.” Katherine George, a special education attorney working with Washington Autism Alliance and Advocacy, suggested adding qualifying language to apply only to unpredicted, spontaneous behavior that resulted in a clear and present danger of serious harm to students, staff, property or serious disruption to the learning process. The school board will discuss the policy over the summer and return it to a vote in the fall. Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com

age of affordable housing required and determining what “affordable” means for affordable housing. Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace, who is also a regional developer that councilmembers say they will depend on for insight, strongly urged the council Monday to take a page from Seattle, which has updated its MFTE four times in the past decade. He said he has found it to be an “effective tool” in promoting workforce housing, which fits with residential development planned in light rail corridors in the city. He added the low percentage of affordable housing required for the additions means most residents wouldn’t know who was paying less for the same housing amenities.
“It’s not a project, there’s no stigma attached to it,” Wallace said. But Robertson said an MFTE could be a “gamechanger” if it didn’t relate just to parts of the city zoned for multi-family development. Should it be allowed in mixed use zones, she said she worries only apartments will form instead of urban villages with retail and dining features that are part of the city’s vision. Mayor Claudia Balducci said she expects there will be at least two more meetings required to assess the council’s options, should it pursue an MFTE option, with a year-end target date for implementation.
