Water supplies fall, residents urged to conserve Water supplier, Seattle Public Utilities says water resources low BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Seattle implementing the advisory stage of its water shortage response plan has the Eastside cities it supplies joining in a call for greater
conservation efforts as the region continues to weather through record-setting summer heat. The Cascade Water Alliance — its city members including Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Redmond and Tukwila — reported in early May the city of Seattle began taking rain into its reservoir in February to compensate for low snowpack. At that time, the message was to continue using water normally. But Seattle reports high heat and dry weather
significantly increased the demand for water, putting its supply outlook at fair. The city is also making operational changes and drawing from supplementary water supplies. “We’re definitely taking it seriously,” said Bellevue Utilities spokesman Michael May. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a historically hot June and July, and then pair that with people using an SEE WATER, 7

Report: June officer-involved shooting occurred as suspect was seeking cover Former Braves scout, Minor League player holding camps across W. Washington
Lieutenant found justified by review board BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
@BelReporter
An investigation report regarding an officer-involved shooting in Bel-
levue in early June reveals a veteran lieutenant shot at a suspect armed with a pellet gun while he was seeking cover from police following a brief standoff where he used his girlfriend/ex-wife as a human shield. The King County Investigative Response Team — a division within
the sheriff ’s office — was put in charge of reviewing the events that led up to the June 5 officer-involved shooting, however, it did not make a determination whether Bellevue Police Lt. Andrew Popochock was justified in firing his pistol at 27-year-old Kevin Sahagun on a residential block in the Lake Hills
neighborhood. Bellevue Deputy Police Chief Jim Jolliffe said a shooting review board found Popochock’s actions were within the law and city policy, and a use of force and firearms instructor also reviewed the incident for

Vegans descend on Bellevue
Food crawlers explore Eastside options for meatless dining BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER
A swarm of people in bright green T-shirts filled the main room of the 520 Bar and Grill in the Old Bellevue neighborhood with noise. Some were longtime vegans, while a few were carnivores looking to try something new. Altogether, the group was participating in the first Vegan Food Crawl, organized by Bellevue-based health coach and blogger Kirstin Wuhrman. “I just noticed, on the Eastside, there’s not a lot of vegan-advertised restaurants, but
there is actually a lot available,” she said. “My goal was just to expose Bellevue as a veganfriendly city.” After finding many clients, friends and others were interested in learning more about the vegan options available on the Eastside, Wuhrman organized the food crawl at four Bellevue restaurants: 99 Park Restaurant, 520 Bar and Grill, Moksha Indian Cuisine and Suite Restaurant and Lounge. More than 60 people from Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, North Bend and Seattle quickly filled the available spots in the event. Many participants echoed Wuhrman’s

sentiments that it can be difficult to discover restaurants with vegan options in the Eastside. “It’s hard for local restaurants to promote vegan menus. A lot of people have a set idea of what they can expect from that,” said Betina Finley, a polling and social media specialist who has worked for Moksha Indian Cuisine and attended the food crawl. “I’m thrilled that (Wuhrman) is doing this — marketing places like this and exposing it to people.” A recent transplant from Los Angeles, food crawl participant Gail Goldman said she and her daughter Marley haven’t found as many options here compared to Los Angeles, and tend to eat at home more. “There’s not a lot of vegan restaurants that I know of on the Eastside, so when we do eat out, we usually end up going into Seattle,” she said. Others like Evan Davis said they do eat at restaurants regularly, but have to do research beforehand or, as a last resort, try to order off of the menu. “There definitely are not vegan options on the menu at any given place,” said Davis. “Occasionally I’ll try to order off of the menu, but I know it’s an inconvenience for the restaurant.” During the four course, chef-guided tour, participants sampled an array for vegan dishes from different types of cuisine. Dishes ranged from spinach pakoras to heirloom tomato and cucumber gazpacho. For Wuhrman, vegan eating has become a substantial part of her life and her health and holistic living coaching business over the last few years. She turned to dietary coaching after years of working in the corporate field and becoming vegan herself. “The tough thing is that when you go vegan for health-reasons, it’s really important to educate yourself on what that looks like,”

she said. “It’s not a fad thing, but a healthy diet around all food groups.” The final 2015 vegan food crawl in Bellevue will take place on Saturday, Aug. 1, but with the positive response and good ticket sales, Wuhrman said it’s likely she will go on to make it an annual or bi-annual event.

ment; historically, it has been car dealerships,” said Paul Bucich, Bellevue’s assistant director of engineering. “The systems out there were undersized for the rezone that the city has implemented.” The two years of engineering work for replacing 4,300 feet of various sized sewer pipes that started in 2013 anticipates the city council’s follow-through with another rezone for mixed-use development in SEE SEWER, 8

Let the grass go
W
e don’t think a lot about not having enough water in Western Washington — we usually have too much. When we see photos of dry lake beds in California, we shrug, secure in the knowledge that abundant water is one more way we are superior to the “Golden” State. But this year, along with most of the West, water is in short supply in our state and in the Puget Sound region. As a result, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) has declared a water advisory for its service areas. Yet looking at the utility’s data regarding its low reservoirs and skinny snowpack, it looks more like an imminent disaster. We are heavily dependent upon the amount of snowpack in the mountains — a natural phenomenon that essentially serves as a mountain-top water storage system. That source, along with a series of reservoirs carefully managed to protect fish, crops and a growing population, is usually more than adequate. But things have changed. The advisory declaration should read: Stop watering the grass; do not wash your car in the driveway; hold off on washing dishes or laundry unless absolutely necessary. Showers should be no longer than three minutes, max. Even with these admonishments, the amount of savings achieved by each household must be multiplied by thousands to be effective. SPU supplies water to more than one million people in a dozen- plus communities in King County. In addition to Seattle, those communities include: Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish and Renton in an area that stretches from the King County boundary at Woodinville to the unincorporated areas to the south and east, to the foothills of the Cascades. What we can learn from California as it urges its residents to take out lawns — is that watering the grass is a waste of money and resources. We say just “let it go,” this year.

To the editor Response to 7/24 letter about ‘sanctuary cities’
being labeled by the political correct agenda. Bert Dybdah
The concept of sanctuary cities has been around from antiquity to the Middle Ages, and more recently in the United States. This noble idea of protecting the weak and vulnerable from unfair and harsh treatment has now in America, morphed into protecting alien felons with multiple convictions and numerous deportations. Facts are a stubborn thing. Most of these illegal alien felons come from countries south of us. One recent writer to the Editor of this paper expressed the opinion that if that horrific murder of that young woman in San Francisco had been committed by a Canadian, the outrage would have been muted. I beg to differ. If our neighbors to the north entered the US in large numbers and committed heinous crimes AND where routinely given protection by a rather lax and political correct system I know that the outcry would not be any less intense. Furthermore the writer thought it would be appropriate for the editor of this newspaper to apologize and feel shame for allowing a opinion expressed by a reader to be published. This is political correctness gone amuck! The Bellevue Reporter owes no one an apology! We are all allowed to have an opinion on any subject, and should be free to express it without fear of
Partnership with Chinese college is game-changer
On July 17, 2015 in an article on City of Bellevue’s economic development progress appeared in the Reporter. It mentioned the Global Innovation Exchange, a partnership for graduate institute between University of Washington and China’s Tsinghua University. I want to emphasize the significance and importance of this partnership. It is “a long-term game changer” for Bellevue and the region. It is the “punctuation mark” that has put us on the map. The rest is up to us to make it become legitimate. Economic development is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities of cities. It ensures financial well-being and greater revenues to pay for essential city services and and maintain an excellent quality of life for its residents. Bellevue has done very well to maintain its quality of life because its economic growth has kept up with its growing needs. However, as needs are increasing and revenues shrinking, every city has to be more competitive. So does our State, Puget Sound region and City of Bellevue. Today’s economy is global. Competition is also global. We are at a time and place where cities have to compete with nothing less than excellence. We have a wonderful environment, great talents, world’s most suc-
cessful companies and entrepreneurs. We have many advantages to attract talents and capital. But, we lack a world-class higher education center of excellence. That is, until now. The Joint UW/Tsinghua University/Microsoft GIobal Innovation Exchange (GIX) Partnership announced recently is the worldclass higher education center of excellence. It has put our region on the map. The news about GIX was covered world-wide, making us the envy of many. It has reinforced our suspected reputation that we are a place with great talents, great companies and great higher education. With the addition of Tsinghua University and its commitment to higher education center of excellence, our region will find it among the world’s centers of innovation. With continuing and additional efforts, we may become truly the center of excellence in innovation. However, there is plenty of hard work ahead of us. We have to work together to ensure the bones are filled in with meat, that the promises are met. This partnership is monumental! It’s once in a life time opportunity. It came after former UW president Michael Young began an effort to locate a research and development center on the eastside and the efforts and visions of many to make our region a world-class center of innovation; a name that truly befits our residents, businesses and companies of the past, present and future.

“We send out the real thing; these are not kids’ toys,” Hutchison said. The partnership celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. Since it began in 1991, more than 450 teachers have participated and the program has touched the lives of more than 300,000 students. Students at Interlake High School will reap the benefits of Allen and Gatewood’s research in genetics and biotechnology. Starting with Gatewood’s 9th grade science course, students will isolate plant DNA. Allen’s higher-level courses will move on to developing experiments and comparing the DNA of different plant species. “Biotechnology is a part of people’s lives now — look at the recent ballot measure on GMOs (genetically modified organisms),” said Allen. “If you don’t understand stuff like that, how can you be a well-informed member of the public?”

than 20 teachers from communities throughout Washington who worked beside scientists in research laboratories through the Science Education Partnership. They joined educators from Seattle, Sammamish, Snohomish, Renton and 11 other cities. “Our goal is for teachers to bring back what they learn over the summer to help jumpstart their students’ knowledge and perhaps kindle their interest in jobs or careers in science,” said Nancy Hutchison, Ph.D., director of the SEP. Participating educators also gain access to the SEP’s sciencekit loan program. The kits, costing up to $10,000 each, are filled with supplies ranging from the exotic (microcentrifuges) to the mundane (plastic wrap, dishwashing detergent).
said, “but definitely they’re using more of it.” The advisory stage is the first of four — followed by voluntary, mandatory and emergency curtailment — laid out by Seattle’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and Bellevue will be taking its water supplier’s lead should conditions change. “The next step would be voluntary curtailment,” May said, “just telling people now these are more things you can do.”

Popochock and Officer Brenda Johnson responded to a domestic violence complaint on the 1200 block of 151st Avenue Southeast on the night of June 5, where Sahagun allegedly pulled out a firearm — a pellet gun with the barrel drilled out to look like a deadly pistol — and grabbed his girlfriend in the driveway of his mother’s house, using her as a shield. Sahagun allegedly then pointed the firearm back and forth between his girlfriend and police, according to KCIRT’s report, the assault suspect later telling investigators he wanted officers to kill him. Sahagun was hospitalized twice after his arrest, first for repeatedly beating his head against the interior of a police vehicle and again when he allegedly made suicidal gestures with a string around his neck from inside his detention cell, according to the report. Sahagun’s girlfriend — formerly his wife, with whom he shares a daughter — told police the weapon was a pellet gun, but the suspect asked officers if they were willing to take that chance, according to his own statement to investigators. According to the report,

Sahagun’s girlfriend got away, causing him to seek cover from police. Popochock fired one shot that missed Sahagun and struck a vehicle he was attempting to get inside, the report states. Popochock, who was found justified in the 2007 shooting death of a man threatening a family member with a knife, provided KCIRT investigators with an involuntary statement 12 days after the June 5 shooting, stating he was compelled to under threat of termination. “This is a true and involuntary statement given at the direct order of Chief (Steve) Mylett of the Bellevue Police Department given under the threat of termination,” starts Popochock’s statement, where he goes on to report he shot at Sahagun because he believed “a gunfight” was imminent. A sheriff ’s investigator’s supplemental report states “Lt. Popochock seems to indicate that he fires at the suspect just as the suspect goes behind the bush (he specifically indicated that, immediately after he shoots, the suspect in (sic) no longer visible).” Popochock fired from behind a
vehicle, where he’d taken defensive cover. The investigator’s report states that means the lieutenant’s “description leaves only the small area between the Toyota truck parked on the road and the bush at the end of the driveway for him to have shot at the suspect while in his view.” Sahagun told investigators he threw his gun out into the street and came out from behind the vehicle after the shot was fired, because he feared further gunfire might strike his mother’s neighbor’s house behind him, where his daughter was staying during the alleged domestic dispute. Johnson told investigators Sahagun came out from behind the vehicle with hands in the air, but refused to comply with officers’ orders, and then ran away. He was taken into custody a short time later in the neighborhood. A 25-year-old man in his work van on 151st Avenue Southeast told investigators he attempted to get in front of Sahagun when he saw him running down the road with police in pursuit, according to the report, which resulted in the suspect allegedly knocking him away and then punching the worker in the head. Sahagun is charged with one count each of third-degree assault and fourth-degree assault (domestic violence) in King County District Court and was released three days after his arrest on a $150,000 surety bond. KCIRT’s investigation report was provided to the Bellevue Reporter through a public records request.

365 by Whole Foods Market coming to Bellevue Square Store to open in 2016 BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Whole Foods Market’s first Washington store for its 365 by Whole Foods Market will be opening up in Bellevue Square in the second half of 2016, according to Kemper Development Company, taking up the ground level of the former J.C. Penney Build-
ing, now known as the South Commons Shop. The new store model, marketed by Whole Foods as a “new streamlined, valued-focused brand,” having “everyday low prices on natural and organic products that meet the company’s industry-leading quality standards,” will take up 30,500 square feet of the South Commons’ ground floor, with 35,500 square feet of additional parking, according to permit documents “The Whole Foods Market brand
has helped lead the shift in consciousness toward fresh, healthy foods by offering the highest quality, broadest selection, and best customer service,” said KDC CEO Kemper Freeman in a Wednesday news release. “We are thrilled to be the location of choice for the first 365 by Whole Foods Market in Washington and we know it will be a highly anticipated addition for shoppers, residents and office workers within The Bellevue Collection and the surrounding community..”

the near future, Bucich said. The city council on Monday approved an ordinance granting low bidder MidMountain Contractors, Inc. a $7.9 million contract for the Wilburton sewer capacity project, with the expectation the cost will rise to $9.85 million before completion. Bucich said the contract was signed Tuesday to begin preconstruction discussions ahead of a potential September start time. “A lot of the work is being done outside the road right-of-way, except out on 114th (Avenue Northeast),” said Bucich, adding traffic coordination will be necessary. “We can’t shut off the road. That is the access for many (hotel) businesses to get their goods.” The project will take about a year to complete, and comes with a number of challenges, such as having to use auger cast piles to support a pipeline that will run through a wetland area to prevent the line from sinking, removing and replacing a pipe crossing
under I-405 and 20-foot excavations in certain areas to mitigate groundwater impacts. The Wilburton sewer project is one of three undertakings by the city — all amounting to about $19 million — to increase sewer capacity. Discussions are ongoing about mitigating traffic when the East Central Business District trunkline improvement project — 1,850 feet of 30inch and 42-inch sewer lines within 112th Avenue Southeast — starts in mid-August. “They’re already feeling traffic jams from the Bellefields Pump Station project,” Bucich said, which is being replaced in order to continue being served by the ECBD line.

Sports are an inescapable aspect of life BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
For the first time since my arrival at the Bellevue Reporter in August of 2014, I had the rare opportunity to take advantage of some of my rapidly accruing vacation time. I made the short two-hour plane ride to Reno, which has been dubbed “Biggest Little City in the World,” for my good friend John Ball’s bachelor party last weekend. It was a gathering of six individuals from three different states with a vast amount of different likes, interests and modes of operation. One aspect of life on which all six of us in attendance were in agreement was our affinity for sports. Collectively, we decided to attend a Triple-A baseball contest between the Reno Aces and Las Vegas 51s on Saturday night. The Aces defeated the 51s 8-5 in a battle between Nevada rivals. Aces Ballpark, located in downtown Reno, was a 10-minute walk from our hotel rooms at the
Eldorado Resort Casino. Aces Ballpark opened in 2009 and, in my opinion, is the crowning jewel of Reno’s downtown core. In addition to attending the game on the diamond, I placed a $30 bet earlier that day on the Mariners in their contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. While dining at Eldorado’s delicious buffet, I checked my phone and discovered the Mariners built a 6-3 lead after five innings of play. I thought I was going to be $30 richer later in the evening. Sadly, I was wrong. The Blue Jays put up two runs in the top of the eighth and the top of the ninth, earning an 8-6 victory. A few of my buddies engaged in some spirited trash talk in regard to the loss I experienced and I laughed right along with them. The entire trip was a blast. It was two vacation days well utilized and well spent! Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@bellevuereporter.com
Baseball guru shares expertise Former Atlanta Braves scout and current Bellevue resident enjoys teaching the game of baseball to a plethora of players BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue resident Steve Goucher lives and breathes baseball. Goucher, who played Minor League baseball as a right-handed pitcher before becoming a scout with the Atlanta Braves organization in the 1990s, has conducted baseball camps and training sessions for the past 17 years. Goucher will partner with Bellevue Parks & Community Services for a baseball camp taking place from Aug. 10-14 at Hidden Valley Park in Bellevue. “Bellevue has the nicest parks around. The park at Hidden Valley is awesome. The facility is just incredible,” Goucher said. “Since the 1990s, I have branched into running camps, clinics and lessons. Baseball has been my life.” Goucher grew up in south Seattle and graduated from Highline High School. Following high school, he played collegiate baseball for Green River Community College and San Diego State University. He finished his playing career in Minor League baseball for the Bend Bucks and Pocatello Pioneers in 1991. “I played all sports when I was kid. I played football, hockey, basketball and baseball. I just started to advance at an early age in baseball,” he said. “Everybody starts out at shortstop when they are a kid. I finally ended up pitching. I loved it.” Goucher, who also will be conducting a baseball camp in Langley on Whidbey Island this summer, has a long-term goal of expanding his reach across Washington in the future. “I plan on continuing this for at least 10 more years for sure. I would like to build up my staff and pass it on to them. Helping players get college scholarships and helping them get to the next level is what it is all about,” Goucher said. Goucher teamed up with celebrity Bill Nye the Science Guy to invent the “Skipper Stick Fungo Bat” baseball retriever. It allows individuals to pick up baseballs with the top of the bat as opposed to bending or kneeling over to pick up the ball. The device is a perfect fit for infield work. “I go to a lot of trade shows and baseball clinics to promote it. There are three or four guys in the big leagues (Major League Baseball) who are using the bat today,” he said. Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@bellevuereporter.com

Steel and Glory Inside the world of medieval stage combat troupe The Seattle Knights Story and photos by Daniel Nash
“M
ost injuries happen with daggers. The reason for that is that they’re small and they’re hard to keep track of in a fight. Plays will often use collapsible daggers if they have a scene where someone needs to be stabbed. We don’t use the collapsible daggers.” It’s a Friday afternoon and Dylan Birtolo and I are sitting outside the cafeteria of Building 50 on the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Birtolo spends most of his days writing programming instruction manuals for the Windows 10 UAP, but at the moment he’s taking a break to explain the finer points of medieval weaponry. The problem with collapsible daggers, he explains, is that they work mechanically and mechanisms can fail. Especially when they’re improperly lubricated or jammed up by foreign matter — say, blood. “You can really wind up hurting someone if you go for a full stab and the dagger doesn’t collapse,” Dylan says. Though Dylan’s weeks are spent in a windowless office figuring out new ways to explain cross-platform coding, his weekends are spent with swords, maces and jousting lances. You see, he’s a member of the Seattle Knights, a stage combat performance troupe that sells its services to Renaissance faires, Medieval Times-style dinner theater venues and film or televi-
sion productions — recently, members appeared as extras on HBO’s Game of Thrones. “We prefer to use real weapons while using techniques that make it look like we’re stabbing someone without actually stabbing them,” Dylan says. Some Microsoft employees having lunch at the next table look over at us as Dylan explains this. One could be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of History Geek Amateur Hour, some kind of Adult Playtime for Fantasy Nerds. Forgiven, but still wrong. “It’s much safer,” Dylan says. *** Five days later, I’ve driven from work to the Interbay neighborhood of Seattle, home of the Washington National Guard’s Seattle Armory. Dylan’s told me this is where the Seattle Knights hold their weekly practice, but after two trips circling the parking lot — and two good looks at the sign reminding visitors that trespassing on federal property is a felony — I’m tempted to cut my losses and bounce for the night. Then I spot two women getting out of their car. Dressed in T-shirts and yoga pants, they could have been any pair of friends out for an evening WOD at the
Crossfit studio across the train tracks. Except when they reach into the trunk for their gear, what comes out are a halberd and a spear. Bingo. Soon enough, I’m following them past the Armory gate into a small gymnasium where the steady clang of sword impact after sword impact is backed by the loose change sound of two dozen women and men fitting chain mail and steel plate over their Under Armour and Reeboks. I find Dameon Willich, the founder of the Seattle Knights, sitting in the corner with senior members of the troupe, talking logistics for their show in July’s Highland Games in Enumclaw. He gets up to greet me and, standing north of 6-foot, broadshouldered with a mane of snow white hair
swept into a ponytail under his ranger hat and a spiderweb of blood vessels that lend his nose a permanent sunburn, he cuts an imposing figure. When other Knights say his name, they say it in reverent tones, the kind of “Oh captain, my captain” tones reserved for a Dear Leader. When he barks orders, there’s just a little bit of give in his voice, like a soft-but-stern father or a stern-but-soft football coach. We exchange greetings and then get down to business. “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” Dameon says in his characteristic gruff tones. “I’m going to find you a chair and a corner where you can sit and watch safely. We’re going to

ubbling laughter, rosy faces, warm smiles. No, you are not at a theme park or a party—you are in a face-to-face interview with the wonderful people at Seattle Singles. The interview is the second step in the program’s simple process. Seattle Singles acts more as a life coach and best friend than what the name entails. Greeted by the blushing, friendly, outgoing character Lindsay, Seattle Singles Director, you will immediately feel at ease—no nervousness and no awkward conversations. Lindsay and her team make you feel like you are having a conversation with an old friend. She remembers your name, your likes, dislikes and has one specific, helpful personality trait in particular: the ability to read people and match them with their soul mates. Companionship—such a result is worth the meeting. Seattle Singles is different than online dating sites. Having been in business for more than 25 years, Seattle Singles knows what they are doing. They conduct thorough background checks and personal screenings, ensuring the utmost protection for their members. “Singles enjoy being a member of our service for our industry leading screening process, including a nationwide criminal background check, which not only protects them from potential threats, but their families as well. Our clients also appreciate the personal and professional attention our staff provides which is all geared toward not only finding that special someone, but also to improve the overall quality of their lives with services that extend beyond the typical online dating site or matchmaking service,” said Lindsay. Seattle Singles has learned over the years that many singles are not only crunched financially, but also crunched for time. That is why Seattle Singles offers the Singles VIP Concierge Service. “The Singles VIP Concierge Service is especially popular with our single parent clients,” said Lindsay. Whether it is to locate and contact a certified child care service to babysit the night of the special date, or for the single dad who needs help planning the date and making restaurant reservations, the concierge service can do it all.

<< KNIGHTS, cont’d from 4 have a lot of swords and other things swinging around the room and it’s easy to get hurt. I’ll send people over to talk to you.” I’m a little disappointed I won’t be in the thick of things. But then I remind myself if I had my druthers, I’d be jamming my gut into a breast plate and swinging a flail with the same cowboy enthusiasm as Major Kong in the climactic scene of Dr. Strangelove. So, fair enough. After all, the people on the floor had put in two years to get to this point: One year in “Knights Academy,” a series of four 10week courses that cover everything from walking in armor to advanced choreography and improvisation, plus a second “internship” year as an unpaid squire, fetching water and performing other support duties at shows. Twenty feet in front of me, a squat, muscular woman in a black T-shirt and camouflaged fatigue pants wanders from Dameon’s makeshift office onto the open floor, dragging the blade of her broadsword against the smooth concrete in loop-deloop swirling motions. The idly violent gesture is a common pop culture trope: highly impractical, but also highly intimidating. I wonder how many of her characters are villains. She makes it halfway to a basketball
jousters,” he says. “Or, if they do, they’re just eye candy.” Kyle, lean and lanky with a long ponytail, stays in a comfortable crouch for our entire chat. I can tell he’s one of those guys who has a graceful ease about him at all times — when he’s in character, he plays Sir Gerard Valliant, a swaggering ladies man. But he assures me that Kyle — the real Kyle — is Very Stressed working out the details of the Knights’ upcoming joust arena at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire in Bonney Lake. “This is basically my directorial debut,” he says. “I mean, I’ve directed individual jousts before, but Midsummer is three weekends, three shows a day… that’s 18 shows. In a row.” He exhales hard, as if to punctuate the point. “When I joined the troupe [in 2004], that was the last year they performed a three-weekend Faire.” Just listening to him describe the logistics is exhausting: casting parts, rotating schedules, scheduling fights on the steeds and on the ground, dealing with fans, making sure the client is happy, looking after the well-being of the jousters’ horses — horses they often own, usually for the sole purpose of jousting. At the same time, this is Kyle’s idea of heaven. He attended Renaissance faires for years before he joined the Seattle Knights
The shield twisted his arm on impact, wrenching his shoulder and popping out his collarbone hoop in the corner and brings the point of her sword up to another woman there, challenging her to a duel. They draw closer and immediately engage in a half-speed block and parry, their swords striking one-two, one-two, one-two. “Is everyone here practicing their routines for this weekend’s show?” I ask Dameon. “Practicing old routines and building new ones,” he replies. Dylan had explained to me that fight choreographers have their own language, a system for committing the fights they build in practice to paper so they can be more easily memorized or picked up by other performers. The language is largely numeric, assigning numbers to points on the body. The standard used by the Society of American Fight Directors for sword fights is a five-point system; the Knights use 18. The two women end their battle and separate without a clear winner. *** “One of the things we pride ourselves on is that, I think, about half of our troupe is female.” The first person Dameon’s sent over is Kyle Robinson, a longtime performer and an up-and-coming director in the Knights. “A lot of joust troupes don’t have female

and the first time he saw the Knights was at Midsummer, when it was still the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire in Gig Harbor. “My jaw dropped,” Kyle says, mimicking the expression. “The rest was history.” I first met Midsummer’s operations manager, Tracy Nietupski, two years ago on another assignment. Chatty and jovial, she was the quintessential “theater mom,” regularly checking in on her volunteers and making sure they stayed fed and hydrated. She was always armed with a laugh whenever the young men joked about flirting with wenches. But she was also supremely dedicated to the Faire’s mission of historical education and accuracy. Actors at Midsummer don’t wear costumes, they wear period correct clothing handsewn from whole cloth. The buildings aren’t two-dimensional facades, they’re solid structures. For the three weekends a year that it exists, the fictional destination of Merriwick is a fully functioning village that entertains more than 30,000 visitors. “As far as the show goes, we want this to be as close to a village in 1571 as possible,” Tracy told me at the time. “Most of our performers try to speak as people back then would speak. It was a chivalrous and courteous time. So the queen will walk by and they will all bow and say ‘God save the queen!’ Visitors obviously don’t have to do that, but all of
our performers are working to make this an authentic historical experience.” *** The woman in the camouflaged pants is at it again. This time she’s locked in mortal combat with a great mountain of a man swaddled in a royal blue cloth shirt and matching bandana. She holds her own well and at one point traps him in a bear hug aided with the flat of her blade over his chest. He breaks free and swings for her head. She kneels to avoid the strike, but as she comes back up, Big Blue comes in with the punch. After they wrap up, Big Blue comes over and introduces himself as Sir Edward. I’m momentarily gleeful when he offers me his sword and introduces me to the first two rules of swordplay: “Move first, block second” and “Strike with the blade, block with the flat.” “Sir Edward,” Dameon barks. “What’s that man doing with your sword?” Edward snatches his blade back out of my hands with a speed that belies his size. “Nothin’,” he says, shooting Dameon an ‘aw shucks’ smile. Edward confides that he’s on R&R after a recent surgery. He’s still allowed to practice, but Dameon’s restricting him to maybe 10 minutes at a time, at a leisurely pace. Edward lives on the west side of the Puget Sound, so effectively he’s taking the ferry each week to spend the better part of two hours not practicing. Every person who wanders over to my dunce’s chair offers another shock at the effort and sacrifice it takes to be a part of the Knights. Edward isn’t the only member who lives in the Olympics and, by his account, most of the members travel from well outside Seattle. One woman, Tiffany Kreider, tells me she rides the bus from Kirkland each week with her chainmail, sword and spear. “I get looks,” she says. “The ones I love are the people who want to ask about them but don’t. Because you can tell when they want to ask.” Dylan’s list of investments in the knighthood alone could fill an article. A few years ago he bought a horse, Connal, for the sole purpose of jousting, with no idea whether it would take to the sport or not. He lucked out — once Connal got used to seeing Dylan in his armor, he turned out to be a natural.
But risk is ever present, even under ideal conditions, and Dylan took a nasty fall off his horse during a show. “When you fall, you’re supposed to ditch your shield immediately,” he says. “But this one time, I couldn’t throw it away from me and I landed wrong.” The shield twisted his arm on impact, wrenching his shoulder and popping out his collarbone. It didn’t incapacitate him, but Dylan says he still feels the injury every day. So why do it? Why traverse counties for two-hour practices? Why spend two years learning an entirely new and largely impractical skillset? Or spend thousands on weapons, armor or beasts of burden? Why does Edward have the purest look of pride I’ve ever seen when he shows me the necklace he received upon entering the knighthood? The specific reasons I’m given vary. One Rentonite, Jordin Mitchell, tells me the acting side of knighthood brought him out of his shell, helping him overcome a shyness that kept him from saying a word during his first days in the academy. Tiffany, who struggled through class after class until she was “happily in the middle” of performance, felt like it was a natural fit from the moment in 1994 when a member of the Knights — who still performs today — let her sit on her horse. “It’s funny because I learned that’s one of the things you’re absolutely not supposed to do, for the liability and insurance and everything,” she says. “So I asked her years later why she did that and she said, ‘I had a feeling about you.’” Edward tells me he gets a kick out of the children who buy into his character, hook, line and sinker. “When a child looks up at me with big, wide eyes and asks ‘Are you a knight?’” he says, imitating the expression. “That’s the best.” But for every single person I talked to, for every specific little reason I heard, it all eventually boiled down to one big reason: It’s just frickin’ awesome. “[My favorite part about this] varies and my answer changes year to year,” Dylan says. “Right now, it’s being on the horse, either after a joust or a run, riding around at breakneck speed, whipping off my helmet, screaming at the crowd and having them scream back at me. “Yeah. That’s pretty cool.”

A Kirkland Art exhibit ponders life, personality of mysterious Mrs. Goldberg
T
o some, Mrs. Goldberg is a wild adventurer, a woman who enjoys wing walking and once joining a group of friends from Seattle to trek down to Burning Man. To others, she is an aging, doting mother who struggles with, but eventually supports, her daughter’s decision to make jewelry instead of becoming a doctor. None of the ideas floating around on Mrs. Goldberg’s Facebook page can be proven right, yet none of them are incorrect. Mrs. Goldberg, the fictionalized woman at the center of the Kirkland Arts Center’s new exhibit Mrs. Goldberg, A Curated Life, has sprouted the imaginations of artists and art patrons alike. Viewers are meant to take away their own ideas about who Mrs. Goldberg is from the myriad of pieces that make up the exhibit. What they interpret about the mysterious Mrs. Goldberg from these fragmented pieces is meant to juxtapose reality with the identities people create online. “If you look at the Facebook page, that person could be just as real as anyone else,” said one of the exhibit curators, Michael Dickter. Dickter and fellow curator Nancy Whittaker brought the idea to the Kirkland Arts Center during an open call for exhibit submissions. The imaginary entity of Mrs. Goldberg was created ten years ago by Ballard-based artist Carole d’Inverno in response to Dickter asking for the identity of the woman in an abstract oil painting she had just finished. “Oh, that’s Mrs. Goldberg,” she said flippantly, creating a woman who would become a long-running joke between the two, and later the star of the nearly 30-piece
by Allison DeAngelis exhibition. Most pieces in the show don’t comment on the physical aspects of Mrs. Goldberg. Instead, they act as scattered breadcrumbs, tidbits of information about her life and her personality. But there isn’t even a set trail to follow — the exhibit wasn’t arranged with a particular workflow in mind. For example, Mrs. Goldberg’s Struggle To Maintain “I wasn’t interested in Balance, which features a coming up with who rough three-dimensional Mrs. Goldberg was. image of an abstract hanging What was interesting scale, is made of mysteriwas what everyone ous rough-textured materibrought to it and takes als. Look closely, and you’ll see the frame is made from away from it.“ orange peels. The jury is out Michael Dickter, on the other materials and Mrs. Goldberg curator. what balance Mrs. Goldberg is trying to maintain. Both Dickter and Whittaker have sometimes contrasting but constantly evolving interpretations of the various artwork. Stopping in front of Mrs. Goldberg: Stowaway, a misty-colored painting showing the hull of a rowboat on calm waters, they offer differing opinions on if the boat is departing and arriving, where it came from/is going to. “I’ve walked through this exhibit so many times, but I still have all of these new ideas about the pieces,” said Whittaker. Perhaps the most interesting part of the show is that the purpose and takeaway is constantly changing. Spoiler alert: There are no answers. The conclusions drawn are entirely in the minds of the beholders. “I wasn’t interested in coming up with who Mrs. Goldberg was,” said Dickter. “What was interesting was what everyone brought to it and takes away from it.”

If you have a job interview coming up and need to look designer chic without paying designer prices, the Bellevue LifeSpring Thrift Shop in Bellevue Square has your back 362 days a year. A word of caution from 11-year volunteer manager Maggie Vergien: Mall employees know the inventory, and word about the good stuff — say a $60 Armani jacket — spreads quickly. High traffic is 11-11:30 a.m. Thrift shop profits go to LifeSpring services that feed, clothe and educate children living in poverty, which adds up to about 3,600 kids in Bellevue. Gift cards are also passed out to use at the thrift shop, but Vergien says the store struggles with children’s clothing donations. For every $200 of assistance LifeSpring provides an adult, they are expected to provide an hour of community service, which can be done at the thrift shop.

Tear down this wall Village Theatre opens up developing show Great Wall to the general public for its Festival of New Musicals by Daniel Nash
I
t's an exciting time to be a Northwest theater geek. In mid-July, 5th Avenue announced the lineup for its inaugural NextFest program for musicals under development, rattling off a list of nine shows that included a WWII period drama about a master art forger, an adaptation of a classic Ray Bradbury novel and a murder mystery in a world where clowns are an ethnicity. The bad news? You won't be able to see any of these shows unless and until they're finished -- at least, not unless you're willing to drop $2,500 on a donation to join the theater's prestigious Artist's Circle.
That's also largely true for the Village Theatre's Festival of New Musicals, which announced its sixshow lineup earlier today (although Village Originals memberships, starting at $150 for donors who want to attend the festival, are just a wee bit easier on the wallet for your average Joe Drama Nerd). Five of the festival's shows — presented as gussied-up stage readings of the scripts — will be closed off to everyone but professionals and Originals members who will be tasked with providing feedback on what they did and didn't like about the infant productions. But that won't be the case for
Great Wall — a show by Kevin So and Kevin Merrit with creative input from M. Butterfly's David Henry Hwang — which last made an appearance at the festival in 2012 and has appeared in development at nine other festivals and venues across the country. Village Theatre is opening up the staging of Great Wall to the general public, at $25 for adults and $20 for children and seniors. Here's the premise, from the description in Village Theatre's announcement: It’s a long shot for Kevin to become an Asian-American rock star, but that’s exactly what he’s reaching for as he struggles to smash glass ceilings and become America’s new sensation. But after the sudden death of his father, a clash of family and cultural expectations force him to choose between supporting his family and pursuing

stardom. Full of soulful melodies, this bold new musical takes a fresh and honest look at the American dream, examining the choices we make, the risks we take, and the relationships that make it all worthwhile. Pretty cool, right? Despite breakout hits like 1988 Tony Award winner M. Butterfly, it's an open secret that Asians and Pacific Islanders are generally underrepresented in the performing arts. One 2012
story from NPR cited a study by the Asian American Performers Action Coalition, which found that over the course of five seasons, less than 3 percent of roles in Broadway productions went to Asian-American actors. Great Wall confronts this problem head on, both in its premise and in the very fact of its production. Great Wall will run Aug. 6-9 in Issaquah and Aug. 15-16 in Everett.

Conversations with Funny People
Tommy Davidson Interview by Keegan Prosser
A
n original cast member of In Living Color, (1990-1994) Tommy Davidson — along with cast members Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Damon Wayans — built a legacy of laughs for their groundbreaking and innovative comedic talents. And in the years since, Davidson has continued the tradition. In addition to perfecting hilarious impressions of Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson and President Obama, Davidson has released three Showtime specials: On Strength of New York, Illin’ in Philly and Takin’ it to DC. On the big screen, Davidson has starred in films including Strictly Business, Booty Call, Bamboozled and Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls. Davidson has also lent his voice to the Adult Swim show Black Dynamite and Bruce W. Smith’s animated series, The Proud Family. The Eastside Scene caught up with Davidson (to talk politics and such) in advance of his headlining shows at the Parlor Live: If you had to describe your act in two words, what would they be?
TOMMY DAVIDSON: Fan. Tastic. What inspires your comedy?
DAVIDSON: Just everyday life. I’ve been blessed to see the funny in everything — I can see funny where people don’t see it.
You’re known for doing some great impressions, including ones of President Obama and Sammy Davis Jr. What’s your favorite?
DAVIDSON: Right now, it’s Obama, because he is so current. But I switch between them at different times.
You’ve been doing this for several years; has your humor changed over the years? And how so?
DAVIDSON: I wouldn’t say my humor has changed, but I go in more directions. I have more skills in doing standup.
You have your hand in a lot of different things; cartoons, movies, videos, standup? What’s your favorite thing to do, and why?
DAVIDSON: I love them all like my kids, but they are all different. I love them each for different reasons. I would say singing, that’d probably surprise you the most. Singing makes me feel good. And I’ve been doing that since I was a kid.

Do you have any musical projects in the works?
10 the eastside scene
DAVIDSON: Not anything soon, but I’m always working on music.
The In Living Color reboot was cancelled early in 2013. Can you speak to how you felt when you heard that?
DAVIDSON: What I would say is that Keenan [Ivory Wayans] is not ready. He’s very, very smart. When he’s ready, it will be unveiled. What can fans expect form your standup act right now?
DAVIDSON: I talk about people. White people, black people,
Hispanic people, Caribbean people — all types of people. I go off in a lot of directions about people — don’t ask me how I got there. I just did [laughs].
Last question: Pop culture website TMZ has caught some funny moments of you in L.A. driving some pretty beat up cars. So what are you driving these days?
DAVIDSON: A ‘63 Dodge Dart. Is that a new purchase? Or something you’ve had for awhile?
DAVIDSON: I’d say that’s a new purchase. I love that car. Tommy Davidson performs at Parlor Live Comedy Club August 20-21. This article originally ran in the August 2013 issue of The Eastside Scene, then published as The Bellevue Scene. Keegan Prosser is the former assistant editor of The Bellevue Scene. She is currently a staff writer for ReelWorld Productions, a global radio company that began in a one-bedroom Seattle apartment in 1994. In 2011, ReelWorld’s European headquarters opened in London and relocated to MediaCityUK in 2013.
