Bellevue crafting opposition letter to Sound Transit

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue councilmembers agreed Monday that a letter to Sound Transit opposing Bellevue site options for an operations and maintenance facility needs to be strongly worded and express the negative economic impact it would create in the Bel-Red Cor-

ridor.

The letter will be submitted with formal comments to Sound Transit regarding its draft environmental impact statement, which examines four possible locations to place an operations and maintenance satellite facility to take on additional East Link fleet — three in Bellevue and one in Lynwood. The comment period ends

Monday, June 23.

The council strongly opposes two options that would use the Eastside Rail Corridor and the old International Paper building just west of the new Spring District development.

Councilmembers repeated their frustrations Monday, saying Sound Transit is violating its own plans for transit-oriented

development that should complement light rail coming into the city.

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace went further with his objections to Sound Transit, calling the proposals a "bait and switch" since no maintenance facility was planned for Bellevue when the city signed a SEE TRANSIT, 2

Former Bellevue employee facing 19 theft charges

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A former Bellevue city employee has been charged with 19 counts of second-degree theft following a police investigation that found Heather B. Christoff had allegedly embezzled more than $118,000 from the city before accounting irregularities were noticed by staff in November.

Christoff, 31, is accused of using city-issued credit cards while in a supervisory role within the Bellevue Parks and Community Services

Department to make charges for children's sports T-shirts to a PayPal account for a fake company she created. A 10-year city employee, Christoff resigned in mid-January. She allegedly told police she was embezzling the money to support her gambling habit.

Investigative documents filed with charges against Christoff state she used credit cards belonging to subordinates and her own supervisors issued through the city of Bellevue's Procurement Card SEE THEFT, 3

The Bellevue Planning Commission is ramping up work on a final ordinance to regulate recreational marijuana businesses in the city, and will hear from the police department Wednesday about its enforcement goals.

"The overall theme of this has been that this is what the voters enacted, and our job was to implement it in the best way possible and one of those is enforcement of the rules," said Councilmember John Stokes and council liaison to the planning commission.

"What (the police are) doing is what their job is, and that's to look at the interim ordinance and see if there's anything we missed or any additional questions."

The Washington State Liquor Control Board doesn't anticipate any marijuana retailers will open until July — and many will likely open later than that. But the city has been regulating such businesses under an emergency ordinance since October.

Stokes said the planning commission has been dealing with a number SEE POT SHOP, 2

Council looking for Energize Eastside answers

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project has raised a bevy of questions pertaining to its need and potential impact to Bellevue homeowners. The City Council says it wants to make sure there are answers to all of them before a transmission line route is set in stone.

Councilmembers heard from nine members of PSE’s community advisory group for the project Monday, receiving mixed reports as to whether their input to the energy

company could result in seriously looking at alternatives to running 18 miles of overhead 230 kV transmission lines from Renton to Redmond.

Scott Kaseburg with the Lake Lanes Community Association said there’s frustration that PSE is not considering changing course from the 18 segments being proposed to create a final route, nor is it considering alternatives like undergrounding the lines. Norm Hansen for the Bridle Trails Community Club said PSE needs to look at options that will minimize impacts to property values and the character of Bellevue neighborhoods.

David Hoffman for the Master Builders Association said the business community is concerned by PSE’s projections that new power hookups could end by 2019, which would be an economic hit that also results in declining property values. He said he’s hopeful communities, businesses and PSE can strike a balance that benefits everyone.

“I think we’re heading in that direction,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of progress to be made.”

Other advisory group members said despite some frustrations they are encouraged by the community outreach process. Still others continued to push for an independent study of future Eastside energy demand and analysis of other line alternatives.

of other city projects, and doesn’t expect a permanent ordinance to come up before September.

The planning commission believes language in the interim ordinance is fairly sound, Stokes said, but needs to find out where changes may need to be made by hearing from law enforcement and the city attorney.

A majority of councilmembers Monday agreed much of the pushback for the project is coming from community members either skeptical of the data being provided by PSE or holding out for additional research on alternatives and future energy consumption on the Eastside.

Mayor Claudia Balducci said it’s clear more growth is in Bellevue’s future — the downtown area is only built out to 50 percent — and energy demand will be critical. It’s just a matter of figuring out how soon and how great demand will be, and finding the best way to meet it, she said.

The city will soon share in the cost of hiring a consultant to conduct the scoping process for a project environmental impact statement with PSE. This could be the platform for the council to address unanswered questions, but several councilmembers didn’t dismiss the idea of another third-party study. be made to comply with new regulations, much like what the city did recently to tackle multi-room rentals. This is an example of questions the city attorney will be able to answer for the commission, Stokes added.

The planning commission will not be looking at options for banning recreational marijuana businesses in Bellevue, as the state attorney general has opined is legally allowed for local jurisdictions. Stokes said there is work being done by the city parks and community services department and Youth Eastside Services to ensure there is a strong educational process to coincide with completion of the ordinance.

Mayor Claudia Balducci said she doesn't want to see the council go back to fighting over alignment segments, but believes alignment and a maintenance facility should not be looked at separately just because they have separate environmental impact statements attached.

She also added opposition to a third option that would place the facility over Plaza 520, displacing about 101 businesses south of State Route 520. A member of the Sound Transit board, Balducci told the council they can expect her to vote against any Bellevue options when a preferred alternative is selected on July 24.

County Council OKs Man gets nine years for child Factoria Transfer porn cache Station replacement It is one of the busiest solid waste facilities in the county’s solid waste system — along with being the oldest building in the system. At its June 9 meeting, the Metropolitan King County Council gave its unanimous approval to replacing the Factoria Solid Waste Transfer Station with a new modern facility.

Built in 1963, the Factoria Transfer Station processed about 115,000 tons of mixed municipal solid waste in 2012, with over 80 percent of that amount derived from commercial haulers who pick waste up from residents and businesses in the Factoria service area. The Factoria facility was one of the transfer stations slated for replacement in the Solid Waste Transfer and Management Plan adopted by the county council in 2007.

A review process recommended that PCL Construction Services be awarded the contract for the construction of the facility.

The new facility will be larger than the current transfer station, with the expectation that it will handle a larger volume of waste and reduce the need for the construction of an additional solid waste facility in northeast King County. This would provide millions of dollars in long-term savings. Consideration of the need for a potential facility in northeast King County will be the subject of further review.

A 53-year-old Bellevue man who, in 2011, was found in possession of one of the largest caches of child pornography in the case history of the Western District of Washington court was sentenced to nine years in prison Tuesday.

William M. Orr was arrested in Iowa in June 2012, where he had relocated after law enforcement seized more than seven terabytes of digital storage from the Bellevue home he shared with his parents the year prior. He was charged with distribution of child pornography after more than 800,000 images and videos were found of children being raped and sexually assaulted. U.S. District Court Judge John C. Coughenour ordered Orr pay restitution to the identifiable children from his cache of pornography, who will require life-long therapy, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

After serving his prison sentence, Orr will be placed on supervised release for 25 years.

A search warrant served on PayPal found Christoff had changed the credit card statement associated with her account several times, with some charges made to appear as if they were associated with the legitimate

company from which the city was purchasing its Tshirts. According to timelines provided by the city and the affidavit, Christoff admitted to the embezzlement six days after resigning her position.

Christoff was charged in King County Superior Court in mid-May and pleaded not guilty to those charges on May 29.

Police documents also allege parks employee Maria Pantig allowed Christoff to transfer payments made

to her PayPal account to her bank account, which she would then withdraw for Christoff. Police report Pantig lied to detectives about profiting from the transactions, alleging she received "approximately $5,784.44 for her involvement in this criminal activity." Pantig is not currently facing charges.

Christoff was set for a scheduling hearing in court June 12.

The city issued a release back in March stating it would not discuss details of the investigation, but is pursuing restitution.

Starbucks tuition plan: We’ll have a double-major with that frappuccino

O

ne has to like the move by Starbucks to pay tuition for employees to attend Arizona State University Online as juniors and seniors. It’s a wonderful offer that tells an employee that being a barista can be a step toward a better and more fulfilling career and not just the end of the economic road.

Is it the answer to America’s higher education woes?

Hardly. There are lots of problems that a double-tall latte can’t solve.

But it does send a message that there’s enough money to be made from people buying expensive coffee drinks to divert some of it to bettering a worker’s education. We know lots of companies do that as one part of their benefits package. But no one has done it to the extent Starbucks plans, given the thousands of workers it employees and the prestigious university with which it will partner.

We know that there are some who doubt the value of an online education. While that may be somewhat true today, even more quality universities are offering such an education that can provide a career in a quality profession. Even better, students will be able to move on to that job without the crushing burden of school loans.

Starbucks is reaping a public relations windfall for its move — and it should. But we doubt thousands of new Starbucks coffee drinkers will flock to the locations in awe of the Seattle company’s generosity. At least we hope not: how much longer can the lines get before those at the end start dying of thirst?

And, we do see at least one other benefit Starbucks likely will see. With all those students having to pull all-nighters to get that term paper (or would it be a term email?) in to the professor, at least students should know where to go to get that needed coffee.

Influence peddling

How many lobbyist’s dinners are too many?

A

mid the dialectic contours in Olympia they are trying to figure out if influence can be peddled with a few bags of Doritos or a $12 meal.

A panel empowered to guide elected leaders along a righteous path is struggling to draw clear ethical boundaries for lawmakers when dining and drinking with lobbyists.

State lawmakers are allowed to “accept gifts in the form of free food and beverage on infrequent occasions” if it’s related to their official duties. But existing law doesn’t define “infrequent.”

Pressure to come up with a definition arose following revelations a handful of legislators regularly dined Jerry Cornfield on lobbyists’ dime during the 2013 session. Several of them may have done so while collecting taxpayer-funded per diem payments, according to research compiled by reporters for a public radio station and Associated Press.

Bad legacy

Please consider the effect that the PSE “Energize Eastside” proposal would have on our city’s skyline.

Every building along I-405 looking east would have a new vista of 125foot poles strung with transmissions cables.

This installation would be a travesty to the city’s stated goal of being a “city in a park.” We would be just another city of industrial wire installations – all greeting every resident and every visitor who drove to our city on I-405. This is not the legacy

The Legislative Ethics Board, a panel of lawmakers and legal minds, is trying to provide clarity on the rules but members are thus far unable to agree on whether “infrequent” should be defined in terms of a specific number of meals.

Also, they are wrestling with what exactly constitutes a meal and at one point must lawmakers report them.

Right now, legislators must report whenever they are treated to meal worth more than $50.

That brings us back to Tuesday’s meeting of the ethics board and a confession from Rep. Drew Hansen, DBainbridge Island, that a bag of Doritos can be a meal for him.

He wanted to know how many bags of Doritos a lawmaker can accept from a lobbyist before it becomes a meal that must be reported as a gift.

The answer he got from the board counsel was that it’s not crystal clear but if he gets $50 worth all at once it

PSE needs to start over

PSE’s Energize Eastside Community Advisory Group (CAG) process is deeply flawed and does not represent the preferences of the neighborhoods. It is now well acknowledged that the data collected is statistically invalid, as even PSE’s own advisory group said it is “meaningless to the process of scoring neighborhood values for the purposes of determining a preferred route.”

PSE unilaterally eliminated several viable alternative solutions to sup-

The undersigned neighborhood members of the CAG respectfully ask all five cities to formally notify PSE that the CAG process does not represent the will of the neighborhoods, that this project would significantly violate neighborhood character, and to either stop wasting time on it or restart it with other options for the CAG to consider.

There are too many non-neighborhood stakeholders on the CAG and not enough of the affected neighborhoods are represented, thus PSE stacked the deck against the neighSEE LETTERS, 5

at her confidence and the ease with which she adjusted to life in a foreign environment.

When I first met Ana she was researching private schools for one son. They chose a school in Kirkland. She pronounced it something like “Keerklawn,” and I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Recently the family had to find a new house to rent and they located one in Kirkland. I told her she couldn’t move there until she learned to pronounce it. She laughed and told me there was another word she needed to practice: milk. In Starbucks she had ordered coffee with milk on the side. The person who took her order kept asking, “What?” and Ana kept saying, “meelk.” When the coffee arrived, Ana couldn’t understand why the barista had set a sprig of mint beside it and no milk.

A week ago Ana died. Heart attack? Stroke? Something that took her fast. She was 53. I was glad I had seen her a few days before, but that doesn’t keep me from missing her. Without her help I will lose my Spanish fluency. But that can always come back. She can’t and that is the problem.

That didn’t sound like a problem to Hansen who endorsed limiting lawmakers to an average of one free meal per week and to report those exceeding $5 in value.

Such a course of action didn’t set well with other panel members who contended it restricted lawmakers’ ability to interact with lobbyists too much and created potentially burdensome reporting requirements.

During the public hearing portion of the meeting one lawmaker argued those kinds of changes would undermine the ability of citizen legislators to serve.

State Rep. Matt Manweller, R-Ellensburg, told the panel that dining with a lobbyist may be the only time someone of his limited financial means can learn nuances of bills.

He said he was offended at the notion he could be “influenced by a $12 hamburger.” The Legislative Ethics Board will continue its discussions in August.

Modern Dentistry by Professionals Who Care

At Energize Eastside meetings, Bellevue residents have repeatedly requested that PSE submit one-line diagrams, various load flows and at least some results from their analysis of the system’s need for upgrading. Otherwise we cannot verify how much this encroaching and expensive project is truly needed.

PSE has told us no, that because of homeland security issues, they cannot disclose this information. It seems ironic that PSE, now owned by an international foreign-owned company (the Macquarie Group), is telling us, citizens of the USA, that we cannot see our own electrical diagrams because of homeland security. And since PSE is investor-owned, how are we to know they are not taking advantage of us, their customers, to make their investors happy?

We need the city to hire an independent, neutral expert (not paid for by PSE) to verify PSE’s data and the costs of the solutions they are proposing.

PORGY AND BESS

BELLEVUE REPORTER

When the Gershwins’ “Porgy and Bess” was first staged in 1935, it unleashed a number of musical hits into the soundscape, from “It Ain’t Necessarily So” to “Bess, You Is My Woman Now.” By itself, “Summertime” is the most popularly covered song in musical history with more than 30,000 known recordings.

The opera itself fared worse and was only sporadically recognized as a proper entry into the art form — it would take New York City’s Metropolitan Opera 50 years of discussion before the company finally staged the production in 1985. “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess: The Musical” was only the latest of a number of adaptations meant to make the opera more accessible to musical theater audiences, cut in time by nearly half with plot changes and spoken word additions to flesh out

the characters beyond their broad operatic archetypes.

So perhaps the strongest accomplishment of “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess: The Musical” is how it manages to remain connected to its source material’s operatic roots. Sure, “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “A Woman is a Sometimes Thing” have become high-energy dance

spectacles (the Broadway format demands at least a few), but songs like “My Man’s Gone Now” remain dripping with the vocal melodrama of their original arias.

Combined with the stripped down set design of Catfish Row and Kittitah Island, the travails of a tight-knit Depression-era black community are given

fresh life.

But this leg of the show’s national tour has its share of problems, which can be summed up in the sound production.

Though beautiful, Alicia Hall Moran’s voice struggles to be heard under the power of the 32-piece orchestra during softer songs.

Jennifer Navva Milliken joined the curatorial team of the Bellevue Arts Museum Monday as the Curator of Craft.

In her role, she will be responsible for selecting artwork created by practical skill, such as woodworking and ceramics. The museum’s mission statement names craft and design as parallel areas of focus, in addition to fine arts.

Milliken studied art history at Western Washington University before earning her masters degree from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. Her research there focused on the role of functionality in art and design from the 1990s to the present. She founded INTER ALIA, an independent curatorial firm, in 2012 and has written for catalogues accompanying exhibitions, as well as Art Jewelry Forum and Domus.

Under Pressure

Beginning July 3, the Bellevue Arts Museum will display a selection of post-World War II prints from Jordan D. Schnitzer’s personal collection of 8,000 works.

The collection includes prints from Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. The collection traces printmaking’s rise to prominence in postwar American art, and shows the diverse ways artists have embraced and transformed the versatile medium.

Schnitzer West paving way for Centre 425

Conflicted feelings at Eastside forum on livable wage issue

BY MARY L. GRADY REPORTER NEWSPAPERS

Downtown Bank of America relocating temporarily

Eastside leaders debating the merits of livable wage reform expressed concern with the effect of wage increases on the cost of goods, while acknowledging the problems of income inequality.

More than 100 people gathered June 5 in Bellevue to hear how Seattle’s new minimum wage law could affect Eastside employers.

“Toward a Livable Wage: Implications for business, community and non-profits” was held at the Bellevue Red Lion hotel, also a cosponsor of the event.

Paul Winterstein, the president of the Issaquah City Council and chair of the Eastside Human Services Forum, welcomed the group by noting that everyone in attendance was there because they “care about the welfare of others.” As the meeting progressed, many expressed concerns about the impact of the new law on their business or nonprofit.

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Schnitzer West began construction June 9 of a temporary Bank of America branch to replace one being leveled at the site of the developer’s latest project, the 16-story Centre 425 office tower.

Bank of America will be a prominent tenant in the new office tower. However, the bank’s branch on the corner of 106th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Fourth Street first needs to be demolished. Schnitzer West states it is demonstrating its commitment to the future tenant by constructing a new facility for the bank at

“The whole notion of a higher minimum wage leaves us conflicted,” Winterstein said. “On one hand we want others to have what they need to live and get ahead.

On the other, we are all consumers and want our goods and services to remain affordable.”

While the minimum wage has changed often — and recently— the changes made in Seattle are different, Winterstein said.

Speaker Lori Pfingst of the Washington state Budget and Policy Center has beenstudying income inequality in Washington state and how it impacts the middle class and economic growth.

“Not only is income inequality harmful to individuals but it stymies economic growth,” she said. The move to improve wages is the best way to “restore the middle class.”

Wage policy is just one part of the strategy, she added, pointing SEE WAGE, 10

Bellevue Hyatt voyeurism suspect arrested

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A 28-year-old man is facing charges he attacked a woman in a restroom at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue in April, slipping under the stall she was using and allegedly grabbing her for his own sexual gratification. He reportedly harassed several more women before his arrest on June 9.

According to an investigative report by Bellevue Police, Aqdas A. Hussain allegedly entered a women’s restroom in the Hyatt’s North Tower on April 26. When a 25-year-old woman entered an adjacent stall, Hussain reportedly slipped under the partition and grabbed her around her

out a need for state budget policies and tax reform.

Among Pfingst’s claims: A higher minimum wage in Seattle may cause employees to leave lower paying jobs on the Eastside for higher wages in the city. If so, employers will have a tough time keeping workers.

The allure of higher pay for entry-level jobs will bring more qualified job applicants who will crowd out younger, inexperienced or disadvantaged employees. And “wage compression” will create an expectation that more experienced and higher-level employees should also be paid more, she said.

Among the panelists was former Issaquah City Councilman Mark Mullet, who is serv-

The alleged victim of the April 26 incident later identified Hussain in surveillance footage from that night. He was arrested on June 9 while at the Evergreen Hospital for injuries he sustained after becoming intoxicated and falling, according to the report. Hussain allegedly denied being sexually aggressive toward women when questioned by police, stating “all of the women approach him and that they ‘flirt’ with him,” the report states.

Hussain is charged in King County Superior Court with one count each of voyeurism and fourth-degree assault. He has prior convictions of second-degree criminal trespass in 2011 and 2012 and for fourth-degree assault, third-degree theft and patronizing a prostitute.

ing his first term as a state Senator representing the 5th district and owns a Ben and Jerry’s franchise and Zeek’s Pizza restaurant in Issaquah. He said having Seattle go first could be an advantage to the Eastside.

“Let Seattle do it,” he said. “The Eastside can take a pause and watch and see how it will go.”

But, as an employer, he has concerns.

Having such a wide gap between wages across the county and within his group of employees will affect who he hires and how much he will pay them, he said.

“I will have to decide what I am willing to pay my workers so that I can keep them,” Mullet said. “At this point, I do not even want to guess what that might be.”

Jasmine Donovan of Dick’s Drive-In said she worried a $15 minimum wage will cause youth and disadvantaged workers to be pushed out by more qualified or experienced

competitors.

No matter what, the higher minimum wage will bring workers to Seattle and crowd out disadvantaged or inexperienced workers, she said.

“Our wage now is for entry workers,” she said. “Our jobs give them a start. It is not meant to be a sustainable wage.”

As for the impact on human services employees receiving a higher minimum wage, wage increases will come out of a fixed budget set by funding agencies such as the federal government.

Sylvia Fuerstenberg, the executive director of the ARC of King County said that if they pay more for wages, then other items such as benefits for those workers might be cut or their services changed.

America to extend its occupancy of the interim branch or allow another tenant to take over.

Bank of America will occupy a 6,400-squarefoot branch within the ground floor of Centre 425, once construction is completed.

Aparico said Schnitzer West is on target for a summer 2016 completion date for Centre 425, which will offer 360,000 square feet of rentable space to companies of all sizes.

Centre 425 will feature Class-A office space, a conference and training center, fitness center, on-site concierge, a landscaped terrace and a Great Room, according to a news release from Schnitzer West. There are 8,000 square feet planned for retail.

Schnitzer West wants Centre 425 to be a best-value solution for its office tenants, focusing on high-density work spaces with common area amenities, Aparico said. Bank of America is the only formal leaseholder currently. A number of prospective tenants are being engaged and a marketing center is anticipated to open by the end of this summer, he said.

“We found that the first impression of the building is very important, but also really the focus on the function and the aesthetic that allows companies to go out and attract the talent,” Aparico said.

The new tower is to be the fourth major construction project for Schnitzer West in Bellevue, the latest being The Bravern completed in 2009 and sold last year. The development company is aiming for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold certification with Sellen Construction as its general contractor and Sellen Sustainability working to meet those LEED standards through mechanical and electrical work, Aparico said.

thigh. The startled woman then ran after Hussain as he exited the restroom, the report states, screaming and hitting him before he escaped the hotel.

Hotel security video footage was later used to identify Hussain as a suspect in the assault, but only after two more interactions with law enforcement at the Hyatt after more women reported being sexually harassed in May, the report states. Officers were dispatched to the Hyatt on May 18, when a woman at the hotel reported being sexually harassed by Hussain, who was issued a warning at the time. He was trespassed from the Hyatt on May 25, when several female customers reported Hussain “was being very sexually aggressive and harassing them.”

Jubilee Reach partnering on free youth football camp

BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue will be home to a free youth football camp for youngsters hoping to learn the game from local high school coaches and players, June 25 and 26 at Sammamish High School in partnership with Jubilee Reach.

The camp, which will feature the head football coaches, assistants and players from Bellevue, Newport, Interlake and Sammamish, as well as a number of prominent guest speakers, is open to any student in the Bellevue School District who is part of Jubilee Reach during the school year.

“I’m very excited,” executive director Brent Christie said. “They see people who they aspire to and who inspire them, and it gives them hope and inspiration to be more.”

Club Jubilee, the sports programming connected to Jubilee Reach in the Bellevue School District, has grown to serve hun-

dreds of kids throughout the school year in soccer, flag football and other sports. The program offers an alternative approach to athletics, emphasizing sportsmanship and teamwork instead of wins and individual statistics.

“We say that every kid just wants to be known, loved, and affirmed,” Christie said of the program’s ethos. “We don’t want to come beat you. We want to come to be a better me.”

Campers will receive instruction in the basics of football from high school coaches and players in a non-contact setting, with no equipment necessary. Sponsors will provide cleats to any youngster in need, and each camper will also receive a t-shirt and a meal each of the two nights.

“I want our kids to be exposed to those schools,” Chapman said. “I think the schedule is a big reason kids want to come here.”

To be eligible for the team, players must be enrolled in 12 credits or more at Bellevue College, and maintain good academic standing. Chapman said he plans to host a tryout in the first week of February, with the hopes of fielding a team to fill six singles spots and three doubles pairs.

But more than the logistics, or even his own workload, which will double with the addition of a men’s program, Chapman said the opportunity to bring more championships to the Bulldogs’ trophy case is what fuels him.

“I know if we can bring in boys, we can take those teams,” he said. “We want to be NWAACC champions next year.”

Twelve become Washington Aerospace Scholar residents

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

Prakash wins WAC contest

BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

An Odle Middle School seventh-grader won first place in the grade 6-8 division of the 2014 World Citizen Essay Contest.

Anirudh Prakash accepted his award and prizes June 5 at a World Affairs Council ceremony in Seattle, from travel personality Rick Steves.

Prakash’s essay, “Piracy: A Conspiracy to Shun Ancient Growth,” described how he would attempt to understand and improve Somalia if he were to travel there.

“I suspect that life under extreme African heat, poverty, unemployment, civil unrest and political tension can make commoners take extreme survival actions,” Prakash wrote. “Peaceful demonstrations, rallies and protests can spiral out of control, igniting violence. With ineffective police, law-

lessness can complicate attempts to secure bare necessities into desperate banditry.”

Prakash’s 2014 essay was prompted by Steves’ book “Travel as a Political Act,” which argued travel was important for reasons beyond rest and relaxation. It asked students to pick a location, explain what they hoped to learn and how traveling there and meeting residents would broaden their perspective.

Prakash wrote that he hoped to “dig deep” into the origins of piracy and visit hostages, children and merchants in his quest to learn the truth about life in the country.

The World Affairs Council is an organization serving the Greater Seattle metro area to help everyday people become global citizens.

FROM THE BELLEVUE COLLEGE PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAM

Once upon a time babies were born into a world that moved more slowly. As technology opens up endless possibilities for sharing and collaboration it also blurs boundaries between work and home. We take pride in multitasking as life gets busier and everything feels more urgent.

But while life moves faster for adults, babies are new to this world. They are easily over-stimulated and their natural pace is much slower.

With endless bids for our attention how do we respect their developmental needs and slow down to match their rhythms?

Babies learn about relationships in their first year.

They rely on non-verbal

communication. They learn about relationships by the way a parent looks lovingly into their eyes, by the softness of the parent’s voice and by the gentleness and respectfulness of their touch during bathing and diapering.

Respect is key — giving them your undivided attention during routine caregiving helps babies feel their caregivers love and tender caring. This helps them feel secure so that they are comfortable studying the shadows on the wall, examining their toes or carefully exploring play objects without needing adult attention or stimulation at other times.

Respect is telling them what you are going to do.

Respect is giving them a few minutes to see if they can settle themselves when they are fussy. Respect is balancing their need for your careful attention and care with uninterrupted time to do their “baby work” —

laying comfortably on the floor strengthening their muscles in preparation for sitting, crawling and walking, working to grasp a toy that is almost within reach — trusting their innate curiosity and motivation to figure some things out on their own and allowing them to develop the confidence that comes from doing so.

When a parent is distracted and their attention is divided, babies do not experience the attention and caring they need and are less comfortable exploring independently. Being fully present at some times, allows both parents and babies to be independent at other times, enabling both parents and babies to attend to their own “work,” comforted by the security of their relationship.

Twelve Bellevue students have been selected to rocket into summer residencies with Washington Aerospace Scholars.

The scholars program is offered by the Museum of Flight that provides students with hands-on education in science, technology, engineering and math disciplines.

The residency program hosts 160 residents across four summer sessions, whittled down from 308 applicants.

Every applicant was required to carry through a five-month online course jointly designed by staff of the University of Washington and NASA for the purpose of distinguishing their academic performance. The applicants could register to earn five college credits for comple-

tion of the curriculum.

Bellevue’s residents will be: Bellevue High –Yash Aluru, Eric Feldman, Kevin Guo, Ali Juhani, Nick Magill and Grant Neuman.

Interlake High – Alex Boulton and George Sun. Newport High – Ben Baek, Amrita Ram and Tristan Toyohara.

Sammamish High – Kamilah Constable The students will design a manned mission to Mars under the advisement of engineers, scientists, university students and educators; they will also compete in engineering challenges, sit in on aerospace briefings and tour sites like the Boeing Commercial Airplane assembly plant and UW engineering laboratories.

This is the eighth year of the Washington Aerospace Scholars program.

Spring blooms at The Bellevue Collection

Microsoft grants $100,000 to Inspiration Playground

T

he Bellevue Collection recently debuted Style Blooms, which showcased this spring and summer’s hottest trends.

Each look on the runway was fun and creative. Boring is definitely out this season.

Spring/summer Rose Dennis 2014 promises to be a new season where abstract and expressive patterns are mixed; colors are warm and bright; and silhouette shapes are loose, but still structured.

Pretty in Pleats. Pleats, Pleats and more Pleats. Pleated skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, maxi skirts and wide-legged pants. All were loose fitting, topped with brightly colored tunics, button-down blouses or loose fitting sweaters. Team Photogenic

Microsoft Corporation has contributed $100,000 to Inspiration Playground Capital PLAY FOR ALL Campaign.

The announcement was made in April during the Rotary Club of Bellevue’s weekly meeting.

“This investment is one of the many ways we support a high quality of life that is accessible to all in the Puget Sound,” said Akhtar Badshah, senior director, Citizenship and Public Affairs, Microsoft.

The Rotary Club of Bellevue is in charge of coordinating the $4.3 million Inspiration Playground capital campaign.

The club has partnered with the city of Bellevue to help fund and build a inclusive outdoor play environment and sensory garden at the Bellevue Downtown Park.

Approximately $1,740,000 to date has been raised in gifts and pledges. The immediate goal is to raise an additional $500,000 so construction can begin in the fall of 2015. Another $2.1 million will complete the full project build-out.

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.
