Several of the restaurant’s workers are believed to have been ill with symptoms consistent with norovirus dating back to Jan. 9 and over the next two weeks leading up to the event, according to Public Health.

“We are in the process of collecting information, we haven’t heard anything yet about any other ill people outside of that one event,

Washington State Department of Transportation officials gave the Bellevue City Council a rundown of the Interstate-405 express toll lanes’ effectiveness at Monday’s meeting.

The verdict? Even according to WSDOT data, results now are a mixed bag and it may be too early to tell if the lanes are headed for a permanent place on the freeway.

I-405 from Lynnwood through Bellevue is Washington’s most congested corridor, and the lanes were approved in 2011 to provide improved mobility in the corridor.

A community group, Stop405Tolls.org, has rejected initial findings from WSDOT and anger over the lanes has been potent enough to spur legislation seeking change of the toll lanes.

However, the department claims that more people than they even initially expected have used the lanes since they were opened in September.

“We’re getting a lot more use early on than we had projected,” said Patty Rubstello, assistant secretary for tolling for WSDOT. “And that’s really good news from the standpoint that those drivers who are using those express lanes are not sitting in general purpose lanes in congestion.”

But according to WSDOT’s presentation, several issues have arisen from the first quarter of use.

While more than one million trips are already taken through the lanes each month (the number WSDOT predicted they might

Overlake breaks ground on new cancer center

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Overlake Medical Center broke ground Jan. 27 on its new, one-stop-shop for cancer care on the Eastside.

The $20 million Overlake Cancer Center will cater to patients and provide an array of treatment aspects in one location, according to the center’s Medical Director Kristi Harrington.

“We’re very fortunate here in the Pacific Northwest because we have basically unlimited access to world-class treatment and technology. But, in one very real way, treatment falls short and can be improved mightily. Right now, in basically every place in the local community, cancer treatment focuses on the diagnosis and the disease. A lot of times, things that matter really importantly to patients come in second place — things like coordination of care, convenience, being able to get their care in one facility,”

www.bellevuereporter.com she said.

Currently, people diagnosed with cancer are forced to go from diagnosis straight into finding specialists, traveling to different facilities and juggle everything that goes along with treatment, Harrington said. Overlake’s goal is to eliminate that stress, she added.

Helping break ground was cancer survivor and Issaquah resident Breeze Dahlberg, who was treated at Overlake in 2012.

“From day one, this team of cancer care providers took me by the hand — very literally — to kill my cancer and save my life… The fight for my life seemed too daunting to even comprehend, as it is for most cancer patients and their families,” she said.

The facility, which Overlake CEO J. Michael Marsh said was designed by cancer survivors, patients, doctors, nurses and a blue-ribbon advisory board, is slated to open in the second quarter of 2017.

“This is a hospital that was built for the community and by the community,” he said at the ceremony.

The groundbreaking also marked the launch of Overlake’s Project futureCARE, a $242 million venture that will expand their existing medical campus.

Bellevue author wins Schneider children’s book award

BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER

Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah could have let his disability control his life.

Born in Ghana in 1977 with a severely deformed right leg, his family and people in the community didn’t expect much from him. Most thought he would be a burden.

With the support of his mother, Yeboah hopped to school and learned how to play soccer and ride a bike.

For Bellevue-based author Laurie Thompson, the problems in her life didn’t compare. But she saw an opportunity to tell Yeboah’s story and maybe inspire other children who have been told what they can’t do.

“I first heard about Emmanuel’s story in 2005 when he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to help promote a documentary about his life that Oprah herself narrated, called ‘Emmanuel’s Gift,’” Thompson said. “The story was so inspiring to me because of the obstacles he overcame and the way he went about it. I couldn’t get it out of my head.”

It took 10 years to perfect it, but her 2015 book “Emmanuel’s Dream: The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah” won the

national Schneider Family Book Award in the young children’s book category. The award is given to authors writing for children and teens whose work “embodies an artistic expression of the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences.”

In “Dream,” Thompson recounts Yeboah’s 2001 experience of biking 400 miles across Ghana to bring awareness to the plight of disabled children in that country. Illustrator Sean Qualls fills the 40-page book with Yeboah’s life story in ink and watercolor images.

Qualls and Thompson didn’t even meet in person until the book had been out for a year, but the collaboration still worked for the two in telling Yeboah’s story.

“For me, Emmanuel’s story isn’t about having a disability as much as it is about persevering even when others count you out, about exceeding the expectations others may place on you, about striving for change even when you don’t know if you’ll succeed,” Thompson said. “I think adults frequently underappreciate children and their abilities, and they themselves are constantly striving to prove to everyone — including themselves — just what they are capable of. ” His story changed how many Ghanaians viewed people with

disabilities, including inspiring legislation guaranteeing equal rights for the disabled. The Ghanaian Association of Greater Seattle helped Thompson with her research.

Thompson first met Yeboah in 2010 in San Diego, California. The two have spoken on the phone and exchanged emails many times since then. After his 2001 trek across his native country, the Challenged Athletes Foundation invited him to San Diego for the 2002 Triathlon Challenge.

The California-based nonprofit provides opportunities for athletes with physical challenges.

While there, he was told that a prosthetic leg might be perfect for him. Six weeks after a surgery, he entered another triathlon, beating his previous time by three hours.

He took grant money back to Ghana and opened the Emmanuel Education Fund for students with disabilities. He is helping to build schools in the country.

Thompson has called Bellevue her home for 15 years. She has written several other books, including a nonfiction book for teenagers called “Be a Changemaker: How to Start Something that Matters” and a picture book for children called “My Dog is the Best.”

Astronaut speaks to Newport students

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

ALLISON DEANGELIS, Bellevue Reporter

A construction worker stands in front of the final beam placed on the new Enatai Elementary School two-story building, which will open in fall 2016. The beam was signed by students last week.

Last beam placed on new Enatai Elementary School New state-of-the-art building to open in fall 2016

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

The last steel beam — almost entirely covered with the messy, loopy signatures of Enatai Elementary School students — was placed on top of the new Enatai location during a “topping ceremony” on Jan. 22.

The ceremony marked a major milestone for the construction of the new two-story, 93,849-square-foot Enatai Elementary School. With the placement of that last steel beam, the Enatai community is that much closer to inhabiting their new school.

The $30 million construction

project will replace the old Enatai Elementary School, which was leveled this summer. Students are temporarily located at the former Bellewood Elementary School near Main Street and 151st Place Northeast, which the district uses as a swing site when schools are under construction.

When completed, the school will be state-of-the-art, utilizing LED lighting and geothermal energy among other energy efficient technologies. It will have an improved traffic flow pattern and a synthetic turf field.

The new building is part of the district’s ongoing work on their schools and was funded by the district’s Capital Construction bond, passed in February 2014.

The new Enatai Elementary is slated to open in fall 2016.

Sometimes Hollywood isn’t far from the truth when it comesto space, at least according to former astronaut Michael Massimino.

The camaraderie the crew members and actor Matt Damon’s character exhibited in “The Martian” is accurate, and while Massimino doesn’t believe in aliens, he does believe there’s life on other planets, he told a crowd of Newport High School students on Jan. 26. Actress Sandra Bullock’s use of a fire extinguisher in “Gravity” to propel herself in space, however?

Completely inaccurate, he said.

Massimino joined Jessica Marinaccio, dean of undergraduate admissions at Columbia University, to talk about the school and the career opportunities for students interested in STEM. “A lot of students get interested in technology, they decide it’s what they want to study in college, and it can be tough.

Sometimes, you can get stuck. But, we wanted to show them what it can be like if you stick to it.”

Although he dreamed of being an astronaut as a child, Massimino never seriously considered going to space until several years into his career. After earning an undergraduate degree at Columbia and his masters and doctorate degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he worked at IBM, NASA headquarters and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace before deciding to make a life change.

“It became clear to me it was the greatest job in the world,” Massimino said.

Even then, it took several tries for the mechanical engineer to be selected for the astronaut training program. In all, he applied four times, being outright rejected the first two times before making it to the interview process — but falling short of selection — on his third attempt.

“I never doubted that I wanted to do it, but I doubted I’d get the opportunity to be an astronaut,” he told Newport High School students before advising them to not get discouraged.

ALLISON DEANGELIS, Bellevue Reporter

Former NASA astronaut Dr. Michael Massimino speaks to students at Newport High School on Jan. 26.

Eventually, he was selected for the 1996 training class.

Massimino joined a diverse array of men and women astronauts — the crew of his first Hubble mission included pilots, an oceanographer, a geologist and a doctor.

“There’s no one path anymore to becoming an astronaut,” he said.

Space study is a consistently evolving field, he said. While his training class was made up of 35 Americans, the latest only had eight. The applications have also gone down, although Massimino said he thinks they will bounce back up in the future.

With all of the change, the new technology and evolving understanding of our universe, some things remain laughably basic. On his second Hubble mission in 2009, the crew hit a roadblock during repairs when Massimino was unable to remove a handrail from the telescope.

Even with a room full of experts back at NASA headquarters and a full, speciallytrained crew, the solution ended up being not-so-scientific: just rip the handrail off.

“It was a very low-tech solution for a high-tech problem,” Massimino said.

Whisk hopes to whip up cooking business downtown get their hands dirty.”

Classes range from Feb. 7’s “The Savory Brunch” to Feb. 11’s “The Art of Gnocchi” to Feb. 16’s “The Dim Sum Project.” Prices range from $75 for “Sharpen Your Knife Skills” to a 3.5 hour and $130 “Sourdough 101” class. The average price for a class is about $95, Perinchef said.

The clean, modern space will stock kitchenware, bakeware, cutlery and other essentials in a well-stocked kitchen.

Where Perinchef said her business differs here is that instead of stocking 15 different brands of knives, Whisk will sell only the top two or three selections.

Chandeliers made of stainless-steel whisks hang above the store, lending a humorous high-class air to the space.

“We’re focused on better-best,” Perinchef said. “We are catering to our market.”

Whisk will do that by keeping quality high-end, but also providing classes in the morning for “Bellevue moms” as Perinchef put it. Many learning kitchens provide courses only at night, Whisk will provide multiple classes a day at different times.

The shop will open at 10385 Main St. as soon as the sidewalk outside is finished.

BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Eastside didn’t have much in the way of high-end cooking equipment stores or cooking schools.

Ann and Don Perinchef saw this vacuum and resolved to fill it with a store of their own, using their combined 75 years of retail experience.

Whisk will open this weekend as Old Bellevue’s premier cooking shop, and will start lessons as soon at Feb. 7.

“We looked around to see what was needed,” Ann said. “Since Mr. J [Culinary Essentials] went out of business there has been a huge gap here.”

Perinchef said that although Seattle has more than 30 learning kitchens, the Eastside has three. One in Woodinville, one in Kirkland and one in the Bel-Red corridor, which does large events.

At Whisk, 16 people will be able to take a class at a time, with every pair using kitchen space of their own.

“I’m a hands-on learner,” Perinchef said.

“I need to be doing to learn. 95 percent of the kitchens like this you’ve got one place to cook and five or six people gathered around a burner. We wanted everyone to

Whisk will open downtown this Saturday, Jan. 30 on the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way. It will be a high-end retailer for kitchenware as well as a classroom for cooking lessons.

Receiver wants to sell Path America properties

BY RYAN MURRAY BELLEVUE REPORTER

The receiver in charge of Path America’s assets has filed paperwork in federal court advising that three of the company’s four incomplete properties should be sold off as soon as possible.

Path America, an Everettbased company that does business allowing foreign investors to fast-track immigration procedures through the EB-5 immigrant program, remains under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has filed a civil suit against Bellevue resident and former CEO of Path America Lobsang Dargey and his multiple companies in August over fraud allegations.

Dargey has denied the Reach

charges, as has Path America, but a court put the company in receivership in October 2015. The FBI has been investigating.

Internal problems with bookkeeping led the receiver to advise selling off extant developments in an initial recovery plan for the company.

“After evaluating the projects both on an individual and collective basis, the reciever has concluded that three of the four projects should be sold in orderly public or private sale,” he wrote in the document. “With regard to the fourth project, the receiver proposes to complete the construction of the facility and then sell the project in a fully stabilized condition.”

The four projects include the Potala Tower, the Potala

Place and Everett Farmer’s Market complex, Potala Shoreline and Potala Village Kirkland.

Grassmueck asked for approval of the sale of Potala Tower first and possibly soon. The planned 40-story skyscraper in downtown Seattle has construction halted when the SEC filed its suit, leaving a 60-foot deep hole on 4th Avenue.

He plans to ask for approval of the sale of Potala Shoreline and Potala Kirkland in the coming months. Work never started on those. Potala Place and Everett Farmer’s Market is near completion, and Grassmueck will wait until shops there are complete and leased out before asking to sell it.

The SEC alleges that Dargey, 42, misappropri-

ated as much as $46 million of foreign investors’ money.

Hundreds of (mostly Chinese) foreign investors invested more than $100 million in various projects.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has pulled support from two of the projects, but Grassmueck is attempting to work to keep those investors on the path to citizenship.

“While the USCIS has served a Notice of Intent to Terminate the Regional Centers for both the Tower and the Market, the receiver is proceeding with plans for each project which allow for the possibility that the EB-5 investors may continue to pursue their non-monetary goals.”

Whether that will happen remains unknown.

coalition led by statewide labor The Petri Dish groups recently filed an initiative to push the minimum wage to $13.50 an hour and allow workers to earn paid sick leave.

The effort could be one of the biggest election battles this year. As proposed, the minimum hourly wage would climb to $11 in 2017, $11.50 in 2018, JERRY $12 in 2019 and $13.50 in 2020. The CORNFIELD measure would not prevent cities or counties from paying a higher wage — as is already the case in Seattle and Tacoma.

The measure also requires workers be allowed to earn one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours they work. Supporters of the initiative contend a healthy and better paid workforce will benefit the state’s economy without triggering any job loss.

Among those advocating for the effort is Jane Teske, a registered nurse who works in the newborn intensive care unit at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett.

Although she has sick leave benefits, Teske said she and co-workers are not encouraged to take it. And while she has a good wage, she knows many workers in the state do not.

Voters last considered the minimum wage in 1998. That year they passed Initiative 688 to provide annual cost-ofliving adjustments based on increases in the federal Consumer Price Index. Washington’s current minimum wage is $9.47 an hour, a figure unchanged from 2015 because the Consumer Price Index did not rise.

For many years, this state has had the nation’s highest minimum wage. But that changed Jan. 1 when the rate climbed to $10 an hour in California and Massachusetts, $9.75 in Alaska and $9.60 in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. To qualify for the November ballot, the coalition will need to turn in 246,372 valid signatures of registered Washington voters by July 8.

To the editor Support Kaiser’s Group Health acquisition I am writing in regard to the recent news of Kaiser Permanente’s agreement to acquire Group Health.

As a Group Health physician working in our community’s clinics, I support this acquisition for many reasons, but high on the list is Kaiser’s commitment to our community health.

This agreement includes a $1.8 billion commitment to create a Group Health Community Foundation.

It will continue the Group Health mission and community legacy by providing grants and improving health throughout the state. The Group Health Foundation would be the largest in the state dedicated to health issues like homelessness, drug and alcohol addictions, mental health and more.

As a nonprofit, Kaiser Permanente is also committed to community health. They have pledged to invest another $1.8 billion over the next decade with $1 billion going to improve clinics and health care delivery, and $800 million going to community benefit, including offering Medicaid plans in Washington.

I have practiced in our clinics for nearly 10 years and have seen community health in action. It is often on the front lines of health care delivery, but often lacks significant resources for enduring success.

This new investment is substantial and will make a real difference in people’s lives.

Approving the Group Health acquisition will have a profound

impact on our community health for generations to come. I urge all eligible Group Health voting members to vote “yes.”

Urging state leaders to invest in early education I would like to thank Gov. Jay Inslee for making early childhood education a priority during his time in office.

During his recent state of the state address, the governor highlighted the fact that over the past three years, almost 7,000 additional children were given access to highquality early learning opportunities.

Since over 90 percent of brain development takes place before a child is 5 years old, preschool and Head Start programs are essential in making sure every child has a strong start to life.

As a local high school student who will be going off to college soon, I know that the high-quality early learning I received as a kid was key in giving me the cognitive and emotional foundation I needed to succeed both academically and socially.

Kids who participate in early learning programs are far less likely to be placed in special education, become a teen parent and be arrested for a violent crime than their peers who did not attend preschool.

“Of all the things we do, I believe this will have the most impact in our communities, and do the most to close the opportunity gap,” Inslee

said during his address on the importance of early learning.

I couldn’t agree more, but as the governor said, we aren’t done yet. To this day, two out of every five American children do not have access to early education. Forty percent of our children — the future of America — are starting their lives developmentally behind their peers. This is our chance to set an example for the rest of the country, to encourage our lawmakers to put kids first. That is why I am urging our state’s elected leaders to invest even more in these vital programs.

Kids in Washington deserve the chance to thrive — let’s give it to them.

Apartment fire, death likely suicide, police say

BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER STAFF WRITER

The Bellevue Police and Fire departments are investigating a death and apartment fire at the Meydenbauer Luxury Apartments Tuesday morning as a suicide, despite residents’ reports of hearing multiple gunshots.

“It’s looking like a suicide,” Bellevue police spokesperson Seth Tyler told the Reporter. Detectives are still investigating reports of multiple gunshots and the fire, he added.

Around 2 a.m. on Jan. 26, police received reports of what sounded like several gunshots from building residents. While investigating the source of the gunshots, police discovered smoke coming from inside one of the apart-

but we’re just at the beginning of our investigation,” Hilary Karasz with King County Public Health told the Reporter.

A Maggiano’s Little Italy spokesperson said the restaurant became aware of customers getting sick two days after the event, on Wednesday, Jan. 20.

“We immediately reported this potential issue to the King County Health Department, and have been working closely with them to thoroughly investigate,” the spokesperson said. “To date, we have no confirmed diagnosis of a food-borne illness, and no other reports of any guest outside of this single party becoming ill.”

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that is commonly associated with food. The illness often has a sudden onset of nausea and vomiting and/or watery diarrhea with cramps. Dehydration is the most common of the

ments. Officers forced their way into the apartment and discovered the body of a deceased Bellevue man.

Investigators believe that the report of shots fired, the fire and the deceased male are all related.

“There does not appear to be any ongoing danger to the community at this time,” police said in a press release.

The Bellevue Fire Department responded to and quickly extinguished the blaze. Many residents were displaced by the fire, but were cared for by the fire department and the Red Cross until the building was cleared for occupancy.

One of the responding officers was treated at the scene for minor smoke inhalation and was cleared by the fire department.

disease’s rare complications.

Public health said it is possible some of those sick people being investigated were ill at the time of the event. Health officials learned of the outbreak last Thursday, Jan. 21. The department has temporarily suspended Maggiano’s food business permit so it will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

“We are taking this isolated incident very seriously and have thoroughly disinfected the restaurant,” said the Maggiano’s spokesperson.

“We maintain strict standards of quality, safety and cleanliness in our restaurants and train every teammate in proper food safety and handling.”

The department has not confirmed it is indeed norovirus, but said many times an outbreak of norovirus is not tested in the laboratory.

Maggiano’s is located in Bellevue’s Lincoln Square at 10455 NE Eighth St. Customers wanting more information may contact the restaurant at 1-844-201-1041 Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Police reports from Bellevue

January 18 Double DUIs: Two suspects crashed into one another on 148th Avenue Southeast, causing significant damage to their cars, but no injuries. Both had been drinking alcohol and were arrested for DUI. ID eruption: The suspect went into the BelMar Marijuana store to buy marijuana with a fake ID. When the store realized his identification was fake, they kept it. The suspect was upset that the store would not give the ID back because he needed the fake ID to work in the U.S. The suspect then took the store keys to use as leverage, and store employees called 911. Officers arrested the suspect for using the fake ID and was trespassed from the store.

Caught with coke: An officer on the 108th Street and Northeast 8th Street was informed by a citizen that a male just tried to sell him cocaine. The officer remembered seeing the described male walking on Northeast 8th Street and went back to look for him. She found him and after the suspect lied about his date of birth, the officer learned he had several warrants out for his arrest. The suspect denied selling cocaine, but a baggy of cocaine was found on the sidewalk right next to where he was located.

January 21 History of being hit by cars: Several callers stated that a subject was running or stumbling into traffic on Northeast 20th Street. Upon contact, officers reported that the subject was obviously under the influence of narcotics and almost fell in front of the patrol car. He had severe dry mouth and

January 22 Four fakes: The victim was selling his PlayStation 4 on craiglist.com and met the suspect at an AM/PM to complete the sale.

The suspect handed the victim $420 in a roll and quickly left the scene. The victim soon found out that the four $100 bills were fake. When police tracked down the suspect, they found a recently unpacked PS4 in his apartment. While he initially denied any involvement, the suspect eventually admitted to obtaining the counterfeit currency during a hypothetical marijuana purchase.

Serial slasher: More than 25 vehicles were found with slashed tires along the 148th Avenue Northeast between roughly Northeast 1st and 40th streets.

January 23 Family feud: A victim was assaulted by three suspects after he was seen video recording a family argument they were having. The suspects asked him to stop, but he refused. They then attacked him. He appeared to have minor injuries. The disturbance spilled out into the entrance of the Lincoln Square parking garage and several additional officers were needed for crowd control to keep the scene safe.

January 24 Drowsy drug user: An officer contacted the suspect in the parking lot north of Nordstrom Rack sleeping in his running Jeep Cherokee with numerous items of drug paraphernalia in his lap. After a consent to search was given, the officer located a bag of meth and a partially smoked chunk of heroin.

“He admitted that he had smoked ‘spice’ at 1700 hours, drove somewhere around 1730 and thought he was fine to drive … Coleman stated he felt like he had passed out,” one of the responding officers wrote in the official accident police report.

Coleman was allegedly under the influence of these drugs and driving erratically when he was involved in a twocar rollover crash in the 13600 block of SE 36th St. around 6:20 p.m. on Oct. 14.

Police also noted that Coleman exhibited signs consistent with being impaired and was unsteady on his feet, although he passed a field sobriety test.

Multiple medical tests did not find the presence of any drugs in his system.

“He wasn’t impaired when he was driving, and the Bellevue Police Department knows that. And yet, they accuse him of being impaired by implication because he allegedly said he smoked something called ‘spice.’ They’re just trying to make him look bad … That is irresponsible,” said Stephen Hayne, Coleman’s attorney.

Police collected a blood sample from Coleman six hours after the crash, which Bellevue Police Chief Stephen Mylett said could have allowed the drugs to leave Coleman’s system.

“I think the experts will tell you the substance that’s the biggest challenge to

detect is ‘spice.’ But, I’m not an expert in the area,” Mylett said during a press conference. “Whether or not Coleman had ‘spice’ in his system, that’s just one element of proving vehicular assault.”

Bellevue Police Department drug recognition experts, such as the officer assigned to investigate the Coleman crash, are trained to identify signs of “spice” ingestion, according to Seth Tyler, a police department spokesperson.

It was reported that Coleman’s car was traveling at a high rate of speed before hitting another car from behind, pushing it up onto an embankment and onto a retention wall where it came to a stop upside down.

Eyewitness statements and the investigation report support that assessment.

Traffic video from that evening is reported to show Coleman’s car cross over a divider lane and proceed very slowly through an intersection when there were no vehicles or obstructions in front of his vehicle while traveling between Coal Creek Parkway and Factoria Boulevard.

Bystanders reportedly helped Coleman from his car and told him to stay put before he jogged or ran off.

“One witness described that he was delirious and aggravated, another that he was incoherent and a third witness stated he was trying to calm Coleman down,” according to the report.

The other driver — a male Bellevue resident — suffered a fractured left clavicle, a concussion and memory loss from the crash.

Coleman told police that he looked but did not see the other car.

see after two years of operation), carpool use is lower than expected.

This may be attributed to confusing laws regarding carpool use in the express toll lanes. Carpools of two people are allowed to travel in the lanes during nonpeak hours. Carpools of three or more can use the lanes during peak hours if they have a flex pass set to HOV mode.

More rules for carpools and single occupancy vehicles as well as motorcycles and other vehicles can be found on the WSDOT website.

Congestion on the weekend has increased since the installation of the lanes between Bothell and Lynnwood, where the express toll lanes (which take up two lanes between Bellevue and Bothell) go down to one lane. Travel times between the two communities in north King County have increased by an average of four minutes per trip in the regular lanes.

The tolls also have hit the maximum $10 more often than expected, proving that some people are willing to pay the amount. Users of the lanes pay only the price they see listed when they enter, no matter what prices they may see miles down the road.

Earlier this month, WSDOT released a tool for motorists to estimate travel time and cost.

WSDOT said the lanes have helped traffic across the board for commuters heading southbound on I-405. Volume and travel times have both improved, Rubstello said. Northbound is a little harder to get a grasp on. Traffic has improved heading

In other council news: • Council heard briefs on two affordable housing projects up for funding review through A Regional Coalition for Housing, or ARCH. The projects, Imagine Housing Totem Lake senior apartments and Imagine Housing at St. Luke’s in Bellevue were supported by several councilmembers.

ARCH is asking for $120,000 to help fund the two projects. Council will likely vote on the funding sometime in February.

ARCH is a partnership of 15 Eastside cities assisting households looking for affordable rental and ownership housing.

In addition to its engagement with ARCH, Bellevue is currently in the process of creating an affordable housing strategy to present to council later this year.

• Sound Transit gave its quarterly update to Bellevue city council, and was thorough in its explanation of East Link light rail progress.

Sound Transit is beginning preliminary work on the Bellevue tunnel in February and should begin actual excavation on the tunnel in fall of 2016.

That construction, along with linking up the tracks coming across I-90 from Seattle, would necessitate a shut down of the Bellevue park-and-ride.

Another topic was the design and development agreement for Sound Transit’s future Operations and Maintenance Satellite facility in the Bel-Red area.

Epitome of a team leader Soccer squad captures second place

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Flashback to February 2015: The Bellevue Wolverines girls basketball team trailed the Lincoln Abes 3028 with just two minutes left in the third quarter in a winner-to-state, loser-out basketball contest.

In the second half, Bellevue’s Shelby Cansler scored 19 points, which propelled her team to a 6047 win on Feb. 28, 2015 at Bellevue College to clinch a spot in the 2015 Class 3A state basketball tournament. Following the game, Bellevue head coach Leah Krautter marveled about Cansler’s performance with the season on the line.

“She wasn’t going to let us lose that game,” Krautter said of Cansler’s 2015 performance.

Cansler, who is one of the Wolverines’ senior leaders on the floor this season, has helped guide her

team to an undefeated record thus far. The senior guard’s leadership ability permeates throughout the entire Bellevue basketball program.

“She is a very poised leader,” Krautter said. “Shelby is very emphatic and cares about everybody else around her. Her actions on the court I think just kind of spill over to everybody. Her energy is contagious.”

Team camaraderie is a strength of the Wolverines.

“Everyone is really happy and is having so much fun as a team. Everyone is supportive of each other and everyone has their own role,” Cansler said. “It is so important that we are supporting each other and we do. We’re having a good time and hopefully we win state (Class 3A state championship). It is definitely fun being a senior. It is kind of sad and weird having it be my last year. We’re having a super fun season.”

The BU16 Corinthians boys soccer team, which is part of the Bellevue-based Lake Hills Soccer Club, earned second place at the Washington State Recreational Cup on Dec. 13 at Starfire Sports Center in Tukwila. The Corinthians lost 3-2 in the championship game to Harbor Youth Soccer Club’s Team Chelsea.

The Corinthians roster is composed of Kellen Steckler, Leo Nguyen, Mohamed Hamed, Davis Mawer, Salvador Madrigal, Grayson Wang, Logan Wang, Jon Nguyen, Jeremy Tsai, Anthony Rudasics, Nigel Veach, Ravneet Ranu, Baran Onalan, Ciabhan Moore, Mert Selcuk and Petros Magoulas. The team is coached by Emanuel Magoulas, Phil Nguyen, Giancarlo Palamares and Ching-Chao Wang.

Vikings have return trip to Yakima in their sights on the hardwood Nearly 11 months ago, the Bellevue Christian Vikings girls basketball team competed at the Class 1A state girls basketball tournament at the Yakima SunDome. The Vikings, who suffered two consecutive defeats to Cashmere and Granger, are determined to return to the big dance this March. The Vikings

are definitely on the right track, boasting an overall record of 14-2 thus far.

Bellevue Christian head coach Mark DeJonge said his team has seven returners from last year’s state team on this year’s squad.

“They’re a great group of kids and they listen and they learn really quickly, which makes it easy for me as their coach. This is my fourth year. They know what to expect from me and that translates onto the court,”

DeJonge said. “That is the biggest thing right there. It helps with consistency and just taking off from where we were last year.”

DeJonge believes last season’s experience will benefit his team in the postseason this year.

“Last year we made it to the final eight. We went two-and-out but it was a great experience. Obviously that is a goal of ours to get back to that point (state tournament),” he

Saints survive against Vikings on the mat

In a matchup between schools separated by a mere five miles, the Interlake Saints wrestling team survived against the Bellevue Christian Vikings in a non-league matchup.

Interlake bolted out to a 39-12 advantage but saw their lead slowly evaporate as the match progressed.

Bellevue Christian 170-pound grappler Scott Graves pinned Interlake’s Arnav Iyer in the third round, cutting Interlake’s lead to 39-33 with one match remaining in the dual.

Bellevue Christian 195-pounder Christian Miller, who pinned Interlake’s Jonathan Palagashvili with nine seconds left in the third round of their matchup, said his team never gives up no matter what. “Our coaches instill in us that we don’t quit. That is stuck in our heads. We have that written up on our wall in the wrestling room,�

Miller said.

In the final match of the night with the Vikings needing a pin to tie the match, Bellevue Christian’s Alex Irizarry defeated Interlake’s Sohan Goli 9-0. Irizarry nearly pinned Goli in the first round but Goli was able to fend off Irizarry as the Saints held on for a 39-37 victory on Jan. 21 at Bellevue Chris-

tian High School. Interlake improved to 6-1 in dual matches with the victory.

The Saints faced the Mercer Island Islanders in a Class 3A KingCo dual match on Jan. 28. The winner of this match clinched the Class 3A KingCo regular season championship. As of press time, results of this contest were unavailable.

Interlake head coach Dave Unwin said his team will be ready for its showdown with Mercer Island with the league title hanging in the balance. “We match up pretty good. It is going to be super close. It will probably be a lot like this match where it is going to come down to a couple of points. It will probably hinge on something unexpected one way or the other for either team,� Unwin said.

Interlake 132-pounder Kenny Hoang, who pinned Bellevue Christian’s Trevor Paulson in the first round of their match, is ready for the battle against Mercer Island. “We are going to wrestle hard. We have been working super hard all year long,� Hoang said.

Dark humor onstage ‘Crimes of the Heart’ marks Kathryn Van Meter’s solo directorial debut

By Ryan Murray

H

azlehurst, Mississippi is home to blues singers, pitchers of sweet tea and the troubled Magrath sisters.

The latter are reuniting at their grandfather’s house for the first time in years. But one has a dark secret the other two will have to help her deal with.

This is the setting of playwright Beth Henley’s “Crimes of the Heart,” a Southern Gothic tragicomedy play staging at Village Theatre in Issaquah. The show opened Jan. 21 and runs through to Feb. 28.

Under the guidance of freshman director Kathryn Van Meter, the Magrath sisters (Babe, Meg and Lenny) will pool their brainpower and knack for getting out of sticky situations to help impulsive and passionate Babe (played by Sydney Andrews) avoid life in prison.

Why? Because she’s shot her husband, of course.

Depressed, shy Lenny (Rhonda J. Soikowski) and boisterous, cocky Meg (Brenda Joyner) join their troubled sister, out on bail, back at their grandparents’ home where they shared many a complicated childhood summer day.

“It is a dark comedy,” said Van Meter, a frequent actor and choreographer for Village. “One of the challenges of directing a play like this is finding the balance of the darkness and the humor.”

Van Meter said placing ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances is what facilitates real change, and in “Crimes” we see six people placed in just such a position over the course of 24 hours.

“I think it’s the way humans change in any meaningful way,” she said.

The entirety of the play takes place in their grandmother’s kitchen, which allows for interesting blocking arrangements for the characters, including a window that breaks the fourth wall with the audience.

Using a single set for the play was a stylistic choice

The Don’t Miss List YTN PRESENTS ’SEUSSICAL JR.’

By Carrie Rodriguez

SEE | ‘SECRETS CAN …’

The Kirkland Arts Center will unveil its new “Secrets Can … ” exhibit, which takes a modern look at how secrets shape identities and relationships as they are withheld or shared. The diverse contemporary works range from abstract to figurative, exploring what it means to be vulnerable and strive for meaningful connection in the 21st century. The exhibit features a number of artists, including Nick Kosciuk’s “Paulina in Green” (pictured above, courtesy of Hall | Spassov Gallery in Bellevue), which depicts a young girl covering her mouth, unable or unwilling to speak, leaving the viewer to wonder what she is thinking.

WHEN: Feb. 6- March 26. For more information, visit www.kirklandartscenter.org WHERE: Kirkland Arts Center, 620 Market St., Kirkland

Youth Theatre Northwest will continue its School Season with a musical extravaganza “Seussical Jr.” through Feb. 22.

Based on Dr. Seuss’s beloved books, favorite characters come to life in this uplifting and hilarious musical. Seussical Jr. is directed by Kim Douthit with musical direction by Nikki Delmarter. All performances will be held in the auditorium of the Stroum Jewish Community Center, located at 3801 E. Mercer Way on Mercer Island.

In this production, Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus,

NORTHWEST SHINES IN SF CHRONICLE’S WINE COMPETITION

By Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue Great Northwest Wine

flavors of orchard fruit, honeydew melon and spice backed by steely acidity. A gold medal winner.

On the American wine industry’s biggest stage, Pacific Northwest wines showed just how good they can be.

The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition took place the first full week of January in this Sonoma County community.

It is the largest judging of U.S. wines, this year drawing 7,162 entries from more than 20 states.

Wines from Washington, Oregon and Idaho won an impressive 676 medals, including 144 double gold and gold medals.

At the top, two of the five top wines were from Washington: Barnard Griffin’s 2015 Rosé of Sangiovese and Claar Cellars’ 2013 Riesling ice wine.

We were among the more than 70 wine professionals who served as judges at the 31st annual San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Here are a few of our favorite Northwest wines from the judging, all tasted under blind conditions. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly.

Westport Winery 2013 Swimmer Petite Sirah, Wahluke Slope, $29: This big, bold red from a winery on the remote Washington coast is loaded with mesmerizing aromas and flavors of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate, all backed by rich, approachable tannins. This won a unanimous double gold.

Barnard Griffin 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $40: Rob Griffin is one of Washington’s top winemakers, and it shows on this reserve-level red. Aromas of black pepper, dark fruit and cola give way to rich, dark fruit flavors backed by cocoa powder and lively acidity. A gold medal winner.

Poet’s Leap 2014 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $20: A classic Riesling from a top Walla Walla Valley producer reveals aromas and

Camaraderie Cellars 2013 Dionysus Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $40: Owner/winemaker Don Corson works in relative obscurity on the northern Olympic Peninsula. This superb Cab provides aromas and flavors of boysenberry, black tea and black cherry, all backed by stout tannins. This earned a unanimous double gold medal.

King Estate 2014 Pinot Gris, Oregon, $18: One of the Oregon wine industry’s leading properties uses certified organic farming methods to produce one of the nation’s best examples of Pinot Gris. It’s rather showy with its nose of jasmine, lavender and orchard fruit, and the flavors match. Mouthwatering acidity makes this particularly bright, bone-dry and food friendly — and worthy of its double gold medal.

College Cellars 2014 Anderson Vineyard Tempranillo, Walla Walla Valley, $20: Produced by the students and professors at Walla Walla Community College, this gold medal winner offers aromas and flavors of strawberry jam, mocha and oak spice, all backed by bright acidity and approachable tannins.

Marchesi Vineyards & Winery 2013 Cereja Uvvagio Red Wine, Columbia Valley, $34: Franco Marchesi, a Hood River, Ore., winemaker, grew up in Italy’s Piemonte region but he used Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah to create a beautifully balanced new blend that offers baking notes of cinnamon bark and clove with creamy flavors of plum, black currant and black cherry.

Mercer Estates 2013 Merlot, Horse Heaven Hills, $24: WSU grad Jessica Munnell mined many gold medals last year, and she opens up 2015 by winning best of class with this rich Merlot that’s filled with black currant jam, black cherry, pleasing tannins and

good acidity.

Avennia 2013 Boushey Vineyard Arnaut Syrah, Yakima Valley, $50: Chris Peterson burnishes his reputation as one of Woodinville’s cult producers with a delicious and complex Syrah from one of Washington’s famous vineyards. This gold medal winner is bright, minty and a bit hedonistic with its theme of Marionberry, black cherry, plum and espresso.

THE EASTSIDE SCENE 5

‘CRIMES’ CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 and Van Meter felt the kitchen was a natural fit.

“The kitchen is the heart of the home,” Van Meter said. “It’s where secrets come out. At every party people will end up in the kitchen and that’s where the conversation happens.”

So it is with “Crimes,” where the Magrath sisters, annoying cousin Chick Boyle (Angela DiMarco), flawed southern gentleman Doc Porter (Orion Bradshaw) and Babe’s lawyer Barnette Lloyd (Robert Bergin) go through the ins and outs of love lost, careers derailed and family (including pets) coming to a gruesome end.

Beth Henley’s play premiered at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1979, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1981. A film adaptation starring Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek hit the box office in late 1986.

Van Meter said her own southern background helped her direct the play, which is steeped in the tradition of the South. She lived in New Orleans for several years and has family in Atlanta, providing her a little bit of background on the Southern Gothic genre.

“Henley sets all her plays in the South,” Van Meter said. “I think there is an attraction to the heightened, genteel language. This has been one of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on.”

She is the first local female solo director at Village Theatre’s Mainstage in more than 15 years. She previously co-directed “Mary Poppins” and “Les Misérables” alongside Steve Tomkins.

Showtimes run at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays and select Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on Fridays, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sundays. All performances are in the Francis Gaudette Theatre at 303 Front Street N. in Issaquah. The play will move to Everett from March 4 to March 27.

Magrath Family Values

By Daniel Nash Family: They can rob you of your food, your youth or even the spotlight (especially if they become notorious husband-shooters). They can make you mad as hell. But family is also where the heart lays — and you can never abandon your heart.

It’s the lesson that sits at the core of Village Theatre’s “Crimes of the Heart,” directed by Kathryn Van Meter. But it also speaks to the production itself, which stays true to the dual nature of sisterly love and rivalry, even as it assaults the audience with accents as thick as the Mississippi air in summer.

There are times when “Crimes” seems to want to smother you in its regional charm, like a faded Southern belle chanting “bless your heart” as she picks apart your outfit.

But charm works; that’s what makes it charming.

The story sees the three Magrath sisters reunite at their grandparents’ home in 1974 Hazlehurst, Mississippi, after the youngest, Babe (Sydney Andrews), has been released on bail in

the shooting of her abusive husband.

At the opening of the show, Andrews plays Babe as the Stepford sister — prim, perfect and always ready to fix a pitcher of sweet lemonade. By contrast, middle sister Meg (Brenda Joyner) plays the rebellious and spoiled wild child, while Lenny (Rhonda J. Soikowski) is the frazzled and self-denying elder, forced unexpectedly into the role of family matriarch after a stroke puts their grandfather in the hospital.

These early characterizations are highly archetypical, even twodimensional. They’re thrown at the audience with such low subtlety and high bombast through the first hour that they threaten to persist through the next two.

But the first-time Village actresses bring depth to their characters with each twist and turn of Beth Henley’s stageplay.

Age plays a strong role in the progress of the sisters throughout the show and it’s only appropriate that the story opens on Lenny’s 30th birthday. Soikowski exhibits a premature “grandma mania” as she frets and worries over everyone but herself, an

REVIEW

attitude that lightens only as she learns to slow down and feel her oats. Joyner takes the reverse path — an obliviously selfish and immature hedonist who slowly learns to act her age.

As parts of the show’s B- and C-plots, Lenny’s and Meg’s arcs are nips and tucks compared to Andrews’ highly dynamic character journey.

Each act sees Babe take another hit to her freedom and mental health, causing her to regress further and further away from eerily precocious and puttogether housewife toward the part of defenseless and scared child.

These individual characters’ stories are satisfactorily compelling on their own, coaxing you into investing yourself in their outcomes. But it would be a mistake to expect them to pay dividends: None of the plot points neatly resolve themselves in a clear payoff.

Instead, “Crimes” shows its strength in the way the Magrath sisters play off each other and grow as a family greater than its individual parts.

‘VANISHING POINTS’ AT SAMMAMISH CITY HALL Donald Fels’s father was a WWII pilot. It wasn’t something the younger Fels knew about for most of his own life.

But his dad and other pilots with the United States Army Air Force’s Air Transport Command had been tasked with one of the most important missions of the Burma Campaign: To resupply the forces of Chiang Kaishek and the USAAF in the Chinese war effort against Imperial Japan.

Fels, an artist based out of North Bend, learned about his father’s mission in 2008, while working in

Southern India. He was particularly fascinated by the pilots’ rescue signal should they go down: A mirror with a pinhole in the center, which allowed downed men to triangulate light to signal airplanes flying overhead, despite being themselves out of view.

Fels’s exhibit “Vanishing Points,” on display in Sammamish City Hall through April 14, examines the disappearances of small things in both The Hump campaign and the work of South Indian billboard artists. The phrase takes on multiple meanings, referring to

both what’s depicted and the manner in which Fels abstracts his subjects over multiple paintings, Sammamish Arts Commissioner Barbara Jirsa said.

“He’s a tremendous public artist,” Jirsa said of Fels. “He’s really a thinker and a wonderful artist in residence because he pushes people to think differently.”
