The city is working to fast-track analysis of a comprehensive plan amendment that would allow St. Luke’s Lutheran Church to site an affordable housing complex behind its house of worship on Bellevue Way Northeast.

“We are so thrilled about this,” said Leslie Schofield, St. Luke’s congregation member and liaison to project partner Imagine Housing.

“We’re cautiously optimistic because we don’t have a final answer on everything, but we’re hoping and praying that it will go through.”

St. Luke’s and nonprofit Imagine Housing partnered a year ago to develop a plan for providing 50-58 affordable housing units at the church, which is currently zoned for singlefamily residences. Imagine Housing recently constructed 58 affordable housing units at the south Kirkland park and ride.

City Planner Nicholas Matz received city council approval Monday to proceed with analysis of the site to determine if a comp plan amendment and rezoning of the property for multifamily residences is appropriate. The hope is to finish the review and return to the council for final approval of a CPA and rezoning by June, Matz said.

Council clears East Link for construction

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The city council made way for East Link light rail construction in Bellevue on Monday, approving a final memorandum of understanding with Sound Transit.

The MOU includes revised terms since its first adoption in 2011. The city

will no longer be responsible for $60 million in contingency costs for the downtown tunnel and will receive $25 million from Sound Transit for permitting and property acquisitions.

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace introduced revisions to the MOU Monday that clarifies city staff ’s involvement for traffic

mitigation on Bellevue Way Southeast and noise variances for construction in line with Seattle’s policy.

Sound Transit was slated to approve the MOU on Thursday, after the Reporter’s deadline.

“It’s not roads versus rail; it’s roads and rail,” said Councilmember John Chelminiak. “I didn’t think we’d do this well.”

Bellevue doctor accused of forging prescriptions License still active; plastic surgeon practicing in Kirkland

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue plastic surgeon still practicing in Kirkland has been charged with unprofessional conduct by the state’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission for allegedly forging more than $60,000 in prescriptions for relatives and then pocketing the drugs to feed his own habit.

MQAC alleges in charges Gavin Dry used another doctor’s prescription pad to forge more than 250 prescriptions from 2008 to 2011, prescribing Adderral — a

www.bellevuecollege.edu www.bellevuecollege.edu

stimulant — to his son and Tramadol — a painkiller — to wife, but then kept the pills for himself.

The Bellevue Police Department had also investigated these allegations, brought forward by a pharmacist in Bellevue back in November 2011 who claimed Dry’s wife broke down when she saw the actual prescriptions she was picking up, according to police records. Dry’s wife allegedly told investigators she began investigating prescriptions her husband had been writing for her and their son, identifying several Bellevue pharmacies where they had been filled.

MQAC alleges Dry also was not recording all controlled substances his office received, not even possessing the forms that needed to be filled.

The Drug Enforcement Agency began investigating Dry in May 2012, and Dry SEE DOCTOR, 4

Newport Rocketry Club testing flight plan Team to compete in nationals next month

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Newport Rocketry Club was done in by equipment failure at last year’s Team America Rocketry Challenge, but sophomore George Eller says he isn’t leaving room for error at the 2015 competition next month.

Eller started the rocketry club at Newport High School his freshman year, having been hooked by his

$

first hobby kit in fifth grade.

“I discovered the TARC and I thought that was a good goal for the team to go for,” he said.

The team made it to the national competition last year, but was disqualified when the rocket broke up in flight due to an inferior rubber shock cord. Eller said the team has corrected this flaw by using a kevlar shock cord, but each competition brings with it new challenges. Logging one of

the top-100 scores in the nation, the team qualified again for this year’s competition.

Rockets blasted hundreds of feet into the air last Sunday at 60 Acres Park in Redmond, the Newport Rocketry Club attempting to reach the altitudes and flight durations required to rise above the competition at the 2015 TARC just outside Washington, D.C., on May 9. Rockets must carry a payload — one raw egg — to precisely 800 feet on the first launch, the flight lasting 46-48 seconds.

April 24, 2015 [3]

The second flight must be 775 feet in altitude and last 45-47 seconds, with teams losing points for every foot too high or low and missing time requirements.

www.bellevuereporter.com According to a 2011 Bellevue Police report, the state Department of Health investigated an anonymous complaint that Dry was writing and filling prescriptions for friends and family in 2004, but the case was considered a “minimal risk” and Dry agreed to stop.

The city council could soon pave the way for 230 multifamily housing units to replace the vacant Top Foods/Haggen grocery site in Bellevue, the proponent awaiting an agreement to lift restrictions on such development in the Crossroads neighborhood.

Intracorp Seattle plans to develop the 350,000-squarefoot Crossroads Village

complex at the former grocery site northeast of the Crossroads Mall to include townhouses, stacked flats, 18,000 square feet of boutique commercial space, a pedestrian connection to Crossroads Park and an urban trail connection with the mall, according to city permit documents.

considering a request from Intracorp to enter into a development agreement for the project, but first needs to vote whether to increase the amount of multifamily units allowed in the Crossroads subarea, which was limited in 2007 to address perceived impacts to surrounding single-family neighborhoods.

That process was initiated during a Feb. 17 city council meeting, where Deputy City Manager Kate Berens told councilmembers multifamily limits could simply be lifted for the Intracorp project as outlined in a pending development agreement.

The city council is anticipated to take final action in June, according to permit documents.

Bellevue library hosting small business coaching seminar; Jeff Levy to speak Entrepreneur and business coach Jeff Levy is offering a free seminar on what it takes to start and run your own business 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 28 at the Bellevue branch of the King County Library.

The seminar touches on everything from incorporation and financing to stakeholder development and business planning. Part of

ST. LUKE’S CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Schofield said more than 200 Bellevue School District students struggle with homelessness, some living in cars with their families or couch surfing with friends.

“It just breaks my heart, and that’s our future,” she said. “This is really being part of the community and helping the city solve some of the dilemmas that we have with homelessness.”

Imagine Housing operates 485 affordable housing units on the Eastside; the St. Luke’s project would be its third project in Bellevue.

Imagine has roughly 3,200 applications for housing on the Eastside wait-listed, said Sibyl Glasby, director of housing development for the nonprofit.

the seminar will focus on the Small Business Association and research resources at the King County Library, both being sponsors for the event.

Levy has coached more than 170 entrepreneurs and is co-author of “Making the Jump — Into Small Business Ownership.”

He also teaches at Seattle College.

Glasby said plans are to construct up to 58 one-to three-bedroom studio apartment units on a portion of the parking lot behind St. Luke’s, with affordability ranging from 30 percent of the average median income for a onebedroom unit to 60 percent AMI for a three-bedroom apartment. She added current Imagine Housing units range from $440-$930 per month, compared to Bellevue’s market rate of $1,500. “(St. Luke’s) would like to be able to reach out to families,” she said, “so we will be able to have a significant number of two-bedroom apartments and some three bedrooms.”

The city’s process for a comp plan amendment and rezoning of the site will drive the timeline for St. Luke’s and Imagine Hous-

ing, Glasby said, adding she hopes it will be completed by the end of the year, leaving 2016 open for targeted private and public fundraising. The expectation is to break ground in 2017.

Imagine led its first neighborhood community meeting on March 19, and will hold a second 6:30 p.m. April 30 at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church at 3030 Bellevue Way N.E. The meeting will include discussion groups to strategize the design for the apartment complex and more information about the nonprofit and its service programs.

this was formed,” he said.

The vision for this divergent Lake Hills garden formed after Chisebuka connected with Narima Amin, founder of Global Social Business Partners, a nonprofit that aligns with the Professor Muhammad Yunus Social Business model of addressing social issues with a business sense and injecting its profitability back into its mission.

A recently formed nonprofit, GSBP saw an opportunity to promote social business by partnering with Chisebuka to create a community garden where volunteers can learn sustainable organic farm practices and take a share of the yield; a garden that provides produce at the farmers market — a sliding price scale applied to assist low-income customers — and puts any profit back into programs. For GSBP, it’s setting an example for the social business model

it promotes through its evolving online educational platform.

“You’re trying to fly an airplane while you’re building it,” said Vandana Slatter, who serves on the GSBP board and the board for partnering nonprofit Farmer Frog. “It’s kind of at the seed stage, you could say.” (Elections, See Page 7) “My thinking is, grow food that’s affordable,” Chisebuka said, “organic food that’s affordable.”

Chisebuka and Amin went to the city about a piece of underutilized land in the south portion of the Lake Hills Greenbelt. That land was being leased by Cha Family Farms, which operates a nearby produce stand.

Farmer Frog came in to assume the lease for the 2.75 acres of land, which will break ground as a garden 10 a.m. Saturday.

Mayor Claudia Balducci will be the keynote speaker.

Farmer Frog — a branch of the Foundation for Sustainable Community — provides hands-on STEM curriculum that extends the growing season

to year round, repurposing underutilized sites for urban gardens that benefit communities. Chisebuka is also acting urban farmer for Farmer Frog’s sustainable food production project with the Three Cedars Waldorf School in Bellevue.

“When you teach kids to grow a garden and eat healthy, they will never forget,” Chisebuka said. Farmer Frog plans to implement its STEM-based curriculum in all Bellevue schools, giving students guidance on how to start their own school gardens. The corner of the property will be a children’s garden. The urban farmer is currently working with a group of Sammamish High schoolers. “They are zealous about doing something about farming.”

Much of the surrounding land is wetlands, which Chisebuka said will allow for experimenting with irrigation methods within the garden. In other areas Chisebuka is considering adaptable plantings.

Chisebuka is growing starter plants in his backyard urban farm, where his idea began.

Bees and elephants

O

n the first Earth Day, there was no such thing as recycling, no emission controls on motor vehicles and strip mining for coal on the plains of the Midwest was in full swing. Now, 45 years later, many threats to the environment and human health have been eliminated. Yet each day, there are new challenges. While some toxic substances and behaviors have been lessened, others have begun. Untreated sewage no longer flows into rivers or lakes, yet electronic trash — full of all kinds of toxins and materials that will never dissipate — presents new dangers.

While vehicles are cleaner and safer to operate, there are a whole lot more of them. In 1970, there were a total of 74 million vehicles of all types counted on the nation’s highways. In 2012, there were 254 million.

Yet, it can be (bee) the loss of the tiniest working parts of our planet that can be the most worrisome.

The truckload of bees that overturned on I-405 last weekend was upsetting. Farmers need bees to pollinate their crops. They aren’t around anymore. The loss of 500 colonies of scarce honeybees is not only expensive but a huge waste. What really hits home is the fact that bees — like so many resources — must be artificially raised elsewhere and shipped in from out of state. Their future, and ours, remains at risk.

In so many ways, the goals of the first Earth Day have been met. People are aware of the importance of a healthy environment. We will never go back to the way it was.

And what about Chai and Bamboo? We are both glad and sorry to see them go. We have no doubt that they will be well cared for. The people of Oklahoma City will love them as much as we do. But, we were taken aback when they left so suddenly last week.

Letters Re-name park for Mayor Nan Campbell

When it was first reported that Bovee Park, named after the disgraced first mayor of Bellevue, was to be renamed, I gave it little thought — just another sordid history of a child molester. But then, I heard a suggestion that the park’s history could be updated with a positive story and name — Campbell Park, to honor Nan Campbell, Bellevue’s first woman mayor. I liked the idea.

I had known Nan since the early 80’s and for years, we worked together with others on local issues.

Her long history of public service represents everything that is good in our city.

Nan was a positive and collaborative leader adept at bringing different people and groups together to achieve common goals. The span of her legacy is broad and extensive: leader and mentor for young girls in Scouts; supporter of parks and a community center for neighborhood kids; leadership in formation of the first Bellevue Shoreline Master Plan and Storm Drainage Utility; advocate and spokesperson for human services in Bellevue and the region; respected Council member and Bellevue’s first woman mayor.

Nan Campbell was a visionary and

respected contributor to the public good throughout her life — a strong and positive legacy — a name for a Bellevue park.

This is to address the placement of a fast food establishment on the corner of NE 8th and 116th.

A letter to state Rep. Senn about insurance

I am taking this opportunity to bring to your attention problems that don’t seem to be on the radar of governments at the federal, state, and local levels.

Twice in less than a year my car while legally parked; once on the street in front of my house and just this week while parked in the Bellevue Public Library was damaged by some one not paying attention.

The first incident resulted in $710 worth of damage to driver side of the car. The incident this week resulted in over $400 worth of damage to driver-side rear bumper. In both

cases a note was not left in regards to damage.

Because of the age of my car I have liability but not collision and even if I had collision it would be below the deductible amount. Moreover insurance companies have the habit of raising one’s insurance rates even for accidents not one’s fault.

The laws and regulations in this country are not written to protect people but to protect businesses and the people who run them.

An example: none of the damage done to my car is tax deductible nor are the insurance payments I have been making for decades on my house and cars, etc.

Tax laws at the federal, state, and local levels are written to protect businesses and the very wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

The middle class is being destroyed by laws and regulations that are there not to protect them and to see that we are all playing on a level playing field but are written to protect those who control government by using the enormous wealth they have gained by being able to write the rules over the decades.

I used to vote for tax increases to support schools and other projects but no more for too many of our tax dollars have gone to fighting wars, paying off government debt and subsidizing corporations and those who run them.

Are Headaches Controlling Your Life?

If you’re Female, Over 25 and Suffer with Migraines – These Are the Facts You Must Know: 1) Approximately 22 million women are affected by migraines in the United States.

2) Medical science has discovered that most headaches are caused by damaged structures around the neck like joints, ligaments, muscles, and cervical discs, all of which have complex nerve endings.

My name is Dr. Steve Baek, and I’ve been helping patients with neck tension, headaches and migraines live pain free for years now. Every week I hear how women suffer from severe headaches – statements like…

“I feel like my head is in a vice.” Or “My eyes hurt and I feel so drowsy.”

PSE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

PSE’s application to add a transmission line between the two substations on Monday, since testimony before a hearing examiner concluded last November.

“Perhaps you can picture them in black robes,” said City Attorney Lori Riordan of Monday’s quasi-judicial process, where the council deliberated the project’s approval but could not receive more facts to assist its decision.

The project’s controversy with CENSE and neighbors in Lake Hills and Phantom Lake revolves around 295 mature trees that will have to come down to make way for power poles and the transmission line that will connect the two substations.

Working with the city of Bellevue, area businesses and residents, PSE came up with a 2.89-mile route for the new 115-kilovolt electrical transmission line along Southeast 16th Street, 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street.

PSE will pay the city $856,000 for the

material costs to replace the lost trees and add more landscaping. A 5-year monitoring plan is also included in plans to ensure the new plantings survive.

Councilmembers were required to disclose any contact with the public or other officials about the project ahead of Monday’s deliberations and whether those communications affected their ability to make an impartial decision.

Mayor Claudia Balducci said Steve Kasner with the East Bellevue Community Council — which will take its own vote on the project following the city council’s action — had expressed his opposition to PSE’s plans on a few occasions in the past several weeks. She added those comments would not influence her decision, herself residing between the two Bellevue substations and being frustrated by the duration of past power outages there.

The council voted 5-2 to push final approval of PSE’s application to May 4, allowing time to consider potential amendments to the conditional use permit and shoreline CUP. Lynne Robinson and Jennifer Robertson voted in dissent.

Wolverines register victory against Islanders Bellevue Wolverines softball head coach Heather Tracy believes in taking calculated risks on the softball field.

The aggressive approach paid dividends in Bellevue’s 6-4 victory against the Mercer Island Islanders on April 17 in Bellevue. The Wolverines had five stolen bases and recorded three triples in the victory.

“We definitely want to be aggressive on the bases. We’ve had a couple of games where we have been really aggressive and have been close to making it work for us. Today we

finally broke through, so we’re excited about that,” Tracy said.

Stuart Buxton, who blasted a triple and an RBI in the bottom of the fourth inning to give the Wolverines a 6-1 lead, was thrilled to see her team get back in the win column. Bellevue improved its overall record to 3-6 with the win.

“It is a really big deal and is a great accomplishment for our team,” Buxton said. “It helps us and gives us more momentum moving forward.”

Bellevue pitcher Dejah Rogers went the distance in the pitching circle, allowing just five hits while striking out six

Mercer Island batters in a complete-game win.

“Dejah did a great job out here leading the team.

She works hard and she stuck with her pitches,” Tracy said.

Tracy said her squad is focused on closing out the regular season strong in their quest to reach the postseason.

“We are competing and definitely have an opportunity to move up in the standings. It’s not just our goal to sneak into the playoffs,” she said. “We got nine games left and I feel we can definitely finish really strong.”

The weather outside couldn’t have been more perfect as I sat at my desk typing up myriad sports articles at the Bellevue Reporter and Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter office on Richards Road in Factoria in early April.

The weather conditions outside during the early afternoon hours were absolutely impeccable. According to Google, it was 64 degrees and mostly sunny skies. My first thought was, “I need to find a sporting event during the afternoon to cover.” There was one problem. It was spring break for all of the schools in my coverage area, which meant the amount of varsity games/events taking place were slim. I searched and searched, but couldn’t locate one single event to attend. There were plenty of events to choose from on April 10 and on April 13 though, so it wasn’t like

Real Estate for Rent Apartments General Financial for Rent San Juan County San Juan County

I was completely devoid of games to cover for the next edition of the newspaper.

One of the biggest challenges of being a sportswriter is Mother Nature’s wrath. This is especially true early in the spring and in the late fall, when inclement weather conditions can wreak havoc on the sports schedule. On at least three occasions so far this spring, I planned on covering a baseball or softball game that ended up being cancelled. Spring time in the Pacific Northwest is as unpredictable as it gets weather-wise.

One thing I have learned over the past 10 years as a sportswriter is that you can have a perfect plan for coverage in place and in the blink of an eye it’s erased faster than you can snap your fingers. In May of 2013, while I was writing sports for the Puyallup Herald, I was slated to cover the final day of the district softball tournament taking place in Parkland on

a Saturday. I figured there would be at least three to four stories written about the tourney, considering I had three teams competing in my coverage area. It was going to fill the bulk of the sports section that following Wednesday, which was the day the paper was printed. Unfortunately there was a downpour of rain and the entire tournament was cancelled. My plan was derailed, but I still had to find content. I ended up writing a few baseball and water polo stories — courtesy of phone interviews on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon — to fill the sports section. Being a sports journalist is similar to being the quarterback of a football team. You can have a play called in the huddle but at the line of scrimmage a slew of audibles and last-second adjustments are sometimes necessary. It’s just the nature of the business.

Public Comments Brief news and information about Bellevue

East Main Station open house

The city will host an open house 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, at city hall to receive input from the public about potential land use and transportation changes surrounding the East Main

light rail station, which is tapped for future transitoriented development. The open house will be in Room 1E-120.

An online open house will be available through May 10 at www.EastMainStationAreaPlan.publicmeeting.info.

Public hearing for Bovee Park name change on horizon

The Bellevue Parks and Community Services Board will hold a public hearing 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, in city hall council chambers

to take renaming suggestions for Bovee Park.

Bovee Park had only recently been named when Charles Bovee, 84, was arrested in 1959 for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl; the first mayor of Bellevue was also accused by several other young girls. A

request by alleged victims of Bovee asked the city council to change the name in the 90s, but it took another victim approaching the council earlier this year to get the process started.

From May 1-10, the city will host an online forum at parksweb@bellevuewa.gov.

Guest column by Linda Pawson

rts organizations are dependent upon support from the community in a wide variety of forms, including grants.

I recently received a rejection notice to a grant proposal that was LINDA noteworthy.

PAWSON In explaining why they would not be funding our request they said, “…we do not consider museums or art exhibits as we are unable to truly measure the impact they have on the greater community.”

I respectfully disagree.

We all use measurements to assess our progress. The business of the arts is no different. We have budgets, we keep track of website analytics, we have numerical goals and objectives.

It is indeed challenging to measure specific economic indicators that are attributable to arts organizations. For instance, it is difficult to determine the influence of an inspirational exhibition on the amount spent at local restaurants or neighboring retail stores. While arts organizations do impact the local economy in dollars and cents, it is the broader impact on the community that is invaluable.

Our society grows and matures as cultural opportunities create space to explore

new ideas and share interests and needs.

Whether it is a show that ties the process of making art to a fundamental need for expression and survival, a performance that engages the mind and offers a glimpse into another culture, or an educational activity that allows a face to face chance to engage in new dialogue— every experience with the arts has a tangible and real impact on individuals and on the community.

The Eastside is fortunate to be home to a broad diversity of individuals. The community that we build depends on our ability to exchange ideas and to understand our neighbors.

While it is sometimes difficult to provide quantitative data points, we in the arts strive to help develop the soul of the community. We raise awareness, we allow for conversation and we help ignite passion for engagement in what happens around us.

And that, in my opinion, is a truly measureable impact.

Linda Pawson is the Executive Director of the Bellevue Arts Museum.

The Bellevue Arts Museum, or BAM, is dedicated to displaying the work of creators in the field of craftwork as well as the traditional fine arts. The Museum is located on 510 Bellevue Way N.E.

WATCH | Cabaret

<<

Village Theatre will close out its season at Francis J. Gaudette Theatre with the musical classic Cabaret.

First staged on Broadway in 1966 and adapted to film in 1977, Cabaret is the story of the seedy Kit Kat Klub, a nightclub in 1931 Berlin, during the rise of the Nazi party.

When: May 14 to July 3 Where: Francis J. Gaudette Theatre, 303 Front St. N. in Issaquah

WATCH 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO | SIFF

It will be hard for the 41st Seattle International Film Festival to top last year’s SIFF. The festival’s 40th opened with the heartfelt Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side, screened hidden gems like the low-tech, low-gore Australian horror gem The Babadook and closed with the festival organization’s landmark acquisition of The Egyptian on Capitol Hill.

SIFF has become the largest film festival in North America for good reason: It largely eschews the industry-worshipping glitz and glam in favor of providing a rich and varied viewer experience.

When: May 14 to June 7 Where: Various locations, check siff.net for details

Moote is a Whidbey Island native who’s been working in comedy for more than eight years, following a career as a special education teacher in Seattle schools. He has appeared on Nickelodeon’s Nickmom’s Nite Out and MTV’s Money from Strangers.

azz is going to the Blues for this year’s Bellevue Downtown Association concert series — a first-time mashup of complementary musical styles.

The downtown association had hosted Wednesday night Bellevue Live concert events for several years before upping the ante with its five-day jazz festival seven years ago. This year is the first the BDA is blending Blues into the mix.

“We just wanted to open a door to other offerings during our seven years,” said Mike Ogliore, BDA vice president of events and operations. “A lot of these folks will blend from one area to another, and how you interpret that is up to you.”

The 2015 Bellevue Jazz and Blues Festival will kick off its five-day lineup on May 27, with acclaimed local and national musical acts accompanied by performances by student musicians from around the Puget Sound region. Ogliore said the event capitalizes on the fact that student musicians are fueled by national competitions prior to the festival. Student jazz musicians will showcase their talents during weekend performances May 3031.

“They’re really on their game and it’s just a nice addition to their calendar,” he said. “They’re there to do their thing and not concerned with being absolutely perfect.”

Four-time Grammy winner Booker T. Jones — of Booker T. & the MGs fame — said he’s honored to be the festival’s first repeat headlining act, having performed at the Bellevue Jazz Festival back in 2012.

“I’ve changed my show somewhat. I have my son (Ted Jones) playing with me now; he wasn’t playing with me then,” Jones said. “Some elements of the show are the same because I still play the MG hits.”

Jones has been keeping his keyboards hot for more than 50 years, and was still in high school when he composed “Green Onions” for the MGs in 1962. He

said festivalgoers can expect MG hits and a bevy of work since then.

“I’m very fortunate to have the older work,” Jones said. “I still personally love it and was so fortunate to be able to play music that well that young.”

He released his 10th studio album, “Sound the Alarm,” in 2010, returning to Stax Records after breaking away from the studio more than 40 years ago because he felt creatively restricted when it changed ownership. He said he came back when ownership changed for the better.

“We’re very close now actually,” he said. “It’s like coming home.”

Jones will perform 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, May 30 at the Theatre at Meydenbauer Center; tickets are $35 or $20 for students. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band will perform there the night before, also at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Bake’s Place will again host a bevy of featured artists during the festival, having a hand in selecting acts that really stand out to restauranteur Craig Baker, whose restaurant has been providing diners with live music six nights a week for the past 17 years.

“There’s a famous quote that says without space between the notes there is no music,” Baker said, “and we all need times in our lives when we can sit back and take part in something that has an effect on our very being.”

Seattle-based funk and jazz band, McTuff, will perform there 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday, May 27 ($15 tickets) and is one of Baker’s favorites, he said, incorporating the not-often seen Hammond B3 organ.

“They burn it up,” Baker said.

“They’re just unbelievably good.”

Lloyd Jones Struggle will play 7 p.m and 9:30 p.m. Thursday, May 28 at Bake’s Place, with tickets running at $20.

Bake’s Place will not require a cover to see performances at the venue on Friday and Saturday, May 29-30.

A NEW WAY TO HAVE FUN Great Northwest Wine

Great whites (and pinks) ast month’s Great Northwest Wine Competition helped highlight some of the finest whites and rosé wines from the Northwest states and British Columbia.

The competition at the Columbia Gorge Hotel drew 1,204 entries. The top wine was Palencia Wine Co.’s 2014 Vino La Monarcha Pinot Noir Rosé from Washington’s Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley. The best white wine was the Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2014 Dry Rock Sauvignon Blanc from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley.

Here is a selection of other white and pink gold medal winners:

Pacific Rim Winemakers 2013 Hahn Hill Vineyard Chenin Blanc, Yakima Valley: Aromas of honey and pear lead to a bright entry with flavors of Honeycrisp apple, all backed by bright acids that lead to an attractive finish.

3 Horse Ranch Vineyards 2014 Pinot Gris, Snake River Valley: This delicious white reveals aromas of dusty apple and tropical fruit, including pineapple. On the palate, it’s a bright and tart white that provides flavors of Asian pear and Golden Delicious apple.

Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2014 Crawford Viognier, Columbia Valley: This luscious Viognier is a classic, with aromas of tropical fruit, orange Creamsicle and sweet lemon. On the palate, it is a delicious wine throughout with a late burst of sweet orange acidity toward the finish.

DeLille Cellars 2013 Chaleur Estate Blanc, Columbia Valley: This blend of Sauvignon Blanc (65%) and Semillon is one of the United States’ top examples of wines in the style of white Bordeaux. Starfruit, lemon pepper, seashell and chalkboard dust aromas lead to flavors of gooseberry, Golden Delicious apple and lemon juice.

This is much more fruit-forward and complex than most West Coast examples.

L’Ecole No 41 2013 Semillon, Columbia Valley: L’Ecole No. 41 has long championed this underappreciated white Bordeaux variety.

This is another great example, with aromas of fresh-cut apple and lemon-lime, followed by a smooth entry with hints of apricot and stone fruit. Beautifully balanced acidity leads to a bright, peachy finish.

Available for Private Parties, Corporate Events and Banquets

Mercer Estates 2014 Spice Cabinet Vineyard Rosé, Horse Heaven Hills: This gorgeous rosé by winemaker Jessica Munnell (pictured above) opens with stunning aromas of strawberry, raspberry, peach and apricot. On the palate, it is loaded with flavors of of pomegranate, peaches and cream and cranberry, all backed by impressive acidity.

Purple Star Wines 2013 Riesling, Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley: Kyle Johnson, owner of this winery in the Yakima Valley, crafted this gorgeous Riesling with aromas of light apple, honey and citrus, followed by flavors of apple backed by stunning acidity.

Zerba Cellars 2013 Cockburn Vineyard Chardonnay, Walla Walla Valley: White wines are somewhat rare at Zerba, so this was a delicious surprise. It opens with aromas of baked apple, hominy and a hint of marzipan, followed by juicy flavors of apple and pear, along with light toffee and fresh caramel.

Coyote Canyon Winery 2013 Albariño, Horse Heaven Hills: Justin Michaud crafted this Albariño from estate grapes in the Horse Heaven Hills. It reveals aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple and kiwi, followed by flavors that are both creamy and taut with just the barest kiss of sweetness. This is a perfect wine for crab.

Huston Vineyards 2013 Private Reserve Chardonnay, Snake River Valley: Aromas of fresh caramel, white peach, baking spice and Golden Delicious apple lead to flavors of pineapple and butterscotch, all backed by a touch of sweetness.

Just a little bit of Hollywood

By Kyle J. Jensen Arif Amaani is many things. He is an entrepreneur, film enthusiast and former collegiate athlete. Yet more than anything, he is an entertainer.

“There is not a script for soccer,” Amaani said about his days playing soccer for Seattle University. “Sometimes, you need to be a little creative.”

That’s also his approach to business. Originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Amaani is the owner of Totem Lake Cinema, which has shown Bollywood films for the last 14 years. Since then, he has seen plenty of changes in film — the digital shift, Netflix and inflated ticket prices, all of which have contributed to his decision to start showing second-run films.

So why does he stick with the erratic film industry? The entertainment value.

“Enjoyment isn’t money for me,” Amaani said. “When I see that I give an audience something to cheer about, it makes me happy. That is what it’s all about.”

During the past two years, business at Totem Lake Cinema has changed. Larger theaters have begun to show Bollywood films, causing the audience to scatter to varying theaters.

Amaani, realizing the need to keep up with the evolving industry, decided to transform his cinema. With movie prices rising, he believes that audiences will appreciate a cheaper theater experience.

In its heyday, Totem Lake Cinema was a meeting place for the Eastside’s south Asian community. Crowds would dress up in festive gear, interact with one another during the films and connect to the entire cinema experience, ac-

cording to Amaani.

Even though much of that has changed, the theater will hold on to some of its old character.

“We will still show Bollywood films but we are adding the second-run aspect to give the Kirkland community something new to enjoy,” Amaani said.

Tickets are priced at $3-$4, a third of the price for most first-run films. To kick-start the second-run format, the theater is currently showing “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” and “Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1”.

Sohel Azhar, Amaani’s brother, points to the cheap prices and family-oriented atmosphere as the biggest draw.

“There is still a vintage charm to the theater, and a family can watch a film for no more than $20,” Azhar said.

The cinema isn’t the only business currently undergoing changes in the area. The Kirkland City Council approved a redevelopment of Totem Lake Mall on March 3, something that has long been discussed.

As Kirkland’s population grows, the mall receives more traffic and visibility, which gives Amaani hope for the future of the cinema and the mall as a whole.

“It’s been a quiet mall, but a lot of things have happened recently so I think this will be a good time to bring something new to the community,” said Amaani. “The mall has been leasing more buildings recently and there are a lot fewer empty spaces than before.”

Ellen Miller-Wolfe, economic development manager for the city of Kirkland, said the Totem Lake Malls redevelopment plan has been on the city’s agenda for years.

“The city has been discussing it for a while, but only recently has a new potential owner come forward,” Wolfe said.

It’s too early in the process to say what exactly will happen to the mall, but there is a high possibility that much of the empty space will be torn down and revamped, according to Wolfe.

“We should have a better idea of what exactly will happen come the end of March,” Wolfe said.

Seeking to satisfy his itch to entertain, Amaani hopes that the potential redevelopment plan and his eye for a niche will help bring new business to Totem Lake Cinema.

“It will make me feel good to see a large crowd again whether it is for Bollywood or Hollywood films, as long as I give the community something to offer,” Amaani said.

“The thought excites me.”

Although Totem Lake Cinema may not have the Bollywood experience that it once did, a new experience has begun — a more communal experience. Perhaps the audience Amaani needs is the one he is trying to reach — the local community.

“I will make a new connection with a new audience, even though I’ll still have some of my old regulars,” Amaani said. “But I want to bring in a broader crowd, hopefully the Kirkland community.”

Beyond the new frontier The Pacific Northwest has always been a place of natural grandeur — for better or worse, depending on whom you ask.

The author Fred Moody, writing in his memoir and cultural history Seattle and the Demons of Ambition: A Love Story, described our geographic wonders as an insurmountable benchmark against anything men could create, causing an inevitable cultural malaise — you can’t beat Mother Nature, so why try?

But Moody’s words were published in the way-way back of 2003. In the 12 years since, the sleepy landscape’s been transformed by the advent of “sustainable” architecture: Futuristic Tetris-block buildings that nevertheless incorporate the natural materials of the region. Northwesterners eschewed rivalry with nature for partnership, marrying design and beauty.

And so it is when you step into The New Frontier, one of two new exhibits at the Bellevue Arts Museum; one where featured Northwest “designer-creators” ride the line between fine art and functional utility.

You enter and begin with diverse woods sculpted to resemble pebbles. From pine to fir, monkey puzzle and walnut, Seattle woodworker Joel Sayre’s “stones” vary in shape, size and design.

Moving through the exhibit, materials like brass and concrete are incorporated into furniture and other fixtures.

The showcase highlights 28 studios from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. It combines, for the first time, the modern styles of the Pacific Northwest.

The exhibit tries to capture the “bubbling scene” emerging from around the region, co-curator Charlie Schuck said.

“It’s a snapshot of right now,” Schuck said. “This is the first time we’ve been at a point in the region that we can have a show for this.”

Veering away from mass production, these highly trained artists explore the boundaries of creation.

Peter Bristol’s steel Cut Chair provides a sturdy place to sit, despite looking like anything but. The chair looks as though it has one leg to stand on, as segments from

the other three have been cut out. Bristol creates the illusion of instability; though the chair’s robust, cantilevered seat is supported by a plate concealed by thick carpet.

The Pacific Northwest artists’ work is very much a response to the economic downturn in 2008, realizing that building a long career in a corporate organization is not practical, Schuck said.

“All of these people are very much in that vein — the new economy,” he said.

These “designer-creators,” as co-curator Jennifer Navva Milliken coined, are intimately involved in their work. They are local artists making a living off of their unique designs.

Journey into infinity After walking through a forest, thick with creations incorporating diverse woods, metals and glass, the exhibit blasts into a new realm.

“You have permission to come aboard,” Seattle artist Jana Brevick said.

In her first comprehensive solo showcase, Brevick invites the public to step aboard and explore a collection that spans her metal- and jewelry-making career.

The exhibit, This Infinity Fits in My Hand, highlights Brevick’s witty humor and her interest with scientific phenomena.

Some creations date back 15 years.

Objects on display include PuzzleGuts, a fabricated and cast necklace fitted with a tin man from her 1999 Robot series, and Strobe, a ring made from obsolete vacuum tubes from her 2000 “Intermittent” collection.

The big reveal, however, is Brevick’s spaceship, Atomic Exfiltrator Ship Seven.

Bellevue Arts Museum staff were hard at work putting the finishing touches on the section, which sets the framework to display Brevick’s new pieces.

The items on display in the ship all relate to space.

Her sterling silver lightning necklace, on display in one of the spaceship’s windows, provides the “Power Supply,” as it’s called, to the ship.

“This is about giving the ship energy,” Brevick said.

Conversations with Funny People

Kortney Shane Williams Interview by Daniel Nash

K

ortney Shane Williams meets me at Jai Thai on Capitol Hill two hours before he’s set to get on stage at the bar with a group of other local comics. The night’s show will break from the norm —the audience will suggest fodder for jokes that the comics will have to write in a matter of minutes.

Williams is somewhat wary of the gimmick, noting that standups and improv performers have different skill sets.

One-on-one, he’s a frank yet visibly shy man, rarely meeting eye contact. But Williams’ in his element on stage and overcomes his reservations as he riffs off of suggestions like “prom sex” and “no nipples” like a free-verse John Coltrane — he says he’s been more influenced by jazz artists than comics.

Williams began his career at 20, paying Central Florida clubs to put him on stage. Now past 30, he’s a known quantity in the Northwest comedy scene who runs his own showcase at Naked City Brewery.

Williams will perform at Laughs Comedy Spot with fellow Seattle comic Derek Sheen on May 27, 29 and 30.

Let’s start at the beginning: You began performing as a 20-yearold in Central Florida clubs. What made you want to start?

After high school, I started a day job at Coca-Cola and I worked with a bunch of older women on the night shift in the office. One of the women there, she was in her 30s -- and at this time I’m like 18, 19 -- and one night I tell her, “I think I’m funny.” And she’s like, [Williams deadpans] “You’re not funny.”

And I’m standing there asking, “Every night I say something and you guys laugh, so how am I not funny?” She goes, “No, no, no, you’re goofy, but you’re not funny.”

So then I come to work and every time I made somebody laugh, I put down a tic mark. By the end of the week there were all these thatch marks. And, again, I was like “I think I’m funny,” and again she’s like “You’re not funny.” But this time I show her my steno pad and I go “Look! Look at all these times I made you laugh this week!” So the next time I see her, she’s printed up a flier for an Improv Comedy Club open mic contest. And that’s when I started thinking maybe I would try this.

So what brought you from Florida to Seattle?

Florida is really an awful place for art. Not for music, necessarily.

There are some musicians, hip-hop artists that are all right; there are pockets. But in general there’s not a lot of… it’s a very white collar state, a lot of people with office jobs. So when you did shows there, people wouldn’t come unless you were famous. If you weren’t famous, you were nobody. When I started performing at open mics, I had to pay $25 to get on stage and do five minutes.

And then when I got more into it, I would drive an hour and a half or two hours to go to a club and do a spot, then drive back. Just for an open mic — and that was every week.

I had a friend in the comedy business who told me, “If you want to be successful, you’ve got to get out of here.” So I went to New York first, with $5,000 in my pocket. That was gone in five months. So then I went to stay with family in Cleveland, where I’m from, and that turned out to be the best four months of my career at that point. During that time, I book a show in Miami and a friend there tells me he’s driving out to Seattle and would I like to go with him? So I do and, during my first week here, I made $700 from performing -- more money than I had seen in my life from comedy at that point.

You’re actually the first Seattle comic I’ve interviewed for this.

Most everyone I talk to works in New York or L.A. Comics in Seattle are better than the comics in New York or L.A. No contest. Is that unique? I don’t know. There might be great comedy scenes in most cities. But the difference is there are a lot more people in New York and Los Angeles: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of comics trying to make it. And maybe only, like, 5 percent of them are any good. Yes, New York has Dave Attell and Louis C.K. and people like that, but they’re the exception. There’s so little stage time available. The lucky comics in New York are getting maybe two or three minutes at 12 a.m. shows. It’s a war of attrition.

10 the eastside scene

But out here, people have five, 10, 15 minutes to work out their material and there are audiences. There are fewer comics out here, but I think there are more good comics because of that.

And you’re doing pretty well for yourself out here. You have a monthly showcase, (Stand-up Style), at Naked City Brewery.

What qualities do you look for in the comics you pick to perform with you?

My only concern is to have a headliner who is strong, who I believe in, who can do 30 or 35 minutes of solid material on stage. The rest of the performers are people that I like who can do 10 minutes. Maybe five. But if they have strong jokes, that’s what matters.

You’ve opened for heavy hitters like Dave Chappelle and Hannibal Buress. Who’s been your favorite performer to hang out with?

The greatest hang is Hannibal. When I met him he was popular, but not famous. This was way before [Buress’ 2012 special] Animal Furnace. His weekly show [held Sundays at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn] is one of the most popular shows in New York, but he wasn’t known outside New York -- he was in the background, writing a little bit for SNL and a little bit for 30 Rock. So it’s not like a celeb hang with him. He’s a guy I can call if we’re both in town and he’s like “Let’s just go tonight. Let’s find a show and get on stage.”

You write a lot about sports, and particularly football, on your website Comedic Prose. As a Seattle transplant, what was your take on Seahawks fever?

One of the most distinct moments, which I’ll never forget, was when Pete Carroll was first reported to come here. My best friend is a huge USC fan — I’m a fan of [rival school] Ohio State — and I tell him “Pete Carroll’s going to Seattle” and his reaction’s just, no-no-no. And I’m thinking, as they release more details and it turns out he’s going to become president, I’m thinking “This is just beautiful. This is going to be awful.”

And I was wrong. But those first teams were, for lack of a better term, they were so Seattle. They just played the way Seattle teams play. Not soft, but you think of Seattle and you think of Shaun Alexander and Hasselbeck and Trufant and you think of these guys who were so... nice. The bad guy was Bosworth; and he never worked!

Then something happened and I’m telling you: The moment Marshawn Lynch grabbed his nuts during that Saints playoff game it changed everything. I thought it was the greatest thing on Earth.

Another thing is, I love the characters. I love how much bolder they are, I love that they’re the bad guys, I love it. And I’m shocked that Seattle embraces it, because that’s not what Seattle typically goes for.
