First look at light-rail noise sees gain for neighbors BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
From their kitchen, Robert and Pat Rosell have a stunning view of the Mercer Slough blueberry farm. The couple, who has lived off Bellevue Way since 1988, jokes that they don’t need to turn on the news for a traffic report. If they look out their kitchen window, by mid-afternoon they can already see line of cars collecting on I-405.
Inside the traffic from both thoroughfares is no more than a hum, but when the couple steps onto their porch, they’re greeted by a wall of noise. Now, as early estimates of sound and vibration impacts roll in on cost savings options for the East Link extension, some reports predict parts of the alignment, like that along Bellevue Way, may actually improve traffic noise.
East Link’s cost savings plan inched forward Monday night when city of Bellevue staff presented a review of the EIS Addendum on cost savings options. A visualization of the route was shared and a peer review identified early predictions for the sound and vibration impacts on the refined East Link extension. An estimated 28 homes along Bellevue Way already exceed federal noise criteria.
East Link’s impacts still are not widely understood, but reports suggest that East Link could offer an improvement of existing noise conditions, thanks in part to a sound wall and retaining wall that would likely encroach on properties like the Rosells’. And by pooling the East Link project with the city’s construction of an HOV SEE NOISE, 3

Two-way learning
Bellevue dual-language program providing curriculum for cultural future BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTERT
The response comes quickly and without hesitation from a kindergartener in Mariano Lizano’s classroom at Sherwood
Forest Elementary. Lizano just asked the youngster why she needs to leave a few minutes ahead of her peers, and she immediately produces a response (and ac-
companying adult) sufficient for her teacher, who wishes her a good afternoon as she walks out. Similar exchanges take place in classrooms around the country on a daily basis, but few happen in the student’s second language. For students in the Bellevue School District’s dual-language
immersion program, they are the sign of a changing present and for the rest of the district, a glimpse into the future.

Bellevue City Manager Steve Sarkozy will resign effective May 15. In a resolution passed unanimously Monday night, the Bellevue City Council has chosen Deputy City Manager Brad Miyake to be the Acting City Manager as of May 16. “The City Council appreciates all that Steve has done for Bellevue,” said Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee. “In discussions between the Steve Sarkozy council and Steve as part of his annual review process, it became clear that both of us were ready for a change. During the past two weeks, we’ve been working on the details of that transition.” That transition is already underway. The city will use a national search firm to find a new city manager who can forge a joint vision with the council, and will include opportunity for community involvement in the selection. Sarkozy will work with the city’s Leadership team in the transition. “Serving the City of Bellevue for the last 12 years has been a great privilege,” Sarkozy said. “Bellevue is known nationally, and more importantly by its citizens, as one of the finest places in the world to live, work and play. This is due in no small part to the central role the city government plays in almost every facet of the community.” The Council and Sarkozy have reached agreement on the terms for his separation with the city and the document was approved unanimously by the Council on Monday night.

Home-grown dressing debuts at local Whole Foods BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Vetter family didn't intend to create a global brand when they put their family dressing recipe into mass production. Or maybe they did. In March, their brand – Tessemae's All Natural – debuted at the Whole Foods in Bellevue, and stores throughout the Northwest. By June 1, they'll be in every region of the United States. Based in Annapolis, Md., the Vetter brothers decided to build a business around their family dressing recipe when the eldest Vetter brother, Greg, realized its demand. “A friend of Greg's actually broke into his house in college, and stole the dressing from his fridge," said Brian Vetter. Following the incident, Greg suggested they should start selling the dressing. Brian agreed, but on one condition: if they were going to do this, they were going to do it big. The brothers started with one flavor – their mom's original Lemon Garlic recipe. Brian said the recipe came about because his mother wanted her athletic sons to eat well – and because the ranch dressing that had become a standard in the Vetter household didn't meet her "healthy eating" guidelines. Since starting the company three years ago, they've added 11 different varieties – including Cracked Pepper, Lemonette and Balsamic. Keeping with the family theme, the name Tessemae's is for the chef, Tess Vetter. In addition to being mom, Tess has become the official taste tester for the brand. Brian said there have only been two occasions when the
Maryland native Brian Vetter poses with Tessemae All Natural Dressings. The product, developed by Vetter and his family, is available now at the Bellevue Whole Foods. Keegan Prosser, Bellevue Reporter brothers went against their mother's opinion and released flavors she didn't approve. Six months later, they had to drop the new flavors because they weren’t selling well. "That was fun," Vetter said. "She just kept saying, 'I told you so.'" The dressing is currently in 120 Whole Foods supermarkets, all across the MidAtlantic Region. And while sales have been steady, Vetter said his goal for Tessemae's is to be the number one vendor at Whole Foods – in every category. "We don't claim to be food scientists. We don't claim to be chefs. We just want good, healthy food," Vetter said. "And we're proving, from a manufacturing standpoint, that you can do it."

Bellevue Police Chief releases statement about Seattle shooting BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
Police Chief Linda Pillo issued a statement April 3 about Bellevue SWAT’s involvement in a fatal shooting of robbery suspect, Russell Lydell Smith, in Seattle. Pillo said that it was the first Bellevue SWAT involved shooting death and explained that the officers involved are now on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Seattle Police Department. “No law enforcement officer wants to be involved in a lethal use of force,” said Pillo. “Unfortunately, at times Linda Pillo it cannot be avoided.” Bellevue SWAT reportedly arrived in the early hours of Friday, March 22 to serve a warrant at the Columbia City home of a suspect’s brother. When they spotted the individual in his car near South Hudson Street and 42nd Avenue South, he reversed into the vehicle parked behind him. Police say that he then shifted gears, and fearing that he was going to run them over, Bellevue SWAT opened fire, fatally wounding Smith. The three officers involved were Casey Hiam, Jacob Bement and Jacob Childers.

lane, Julie Wiebusch of the Green Busch Group said they could avoid subjecting the neighborhood to two projects. If shifted West with the HOV lane, mitigated project levels at Bellevue Way could improve ambient noise between three and 12 decibels (dBA). But, interjected Councilmember Chelminiak: “The dominant factor for those homes is the view. So the tradeoff is the diminishment of view going out over the Slough, for less [decibels] at their house…That’s a very serious trade off for the homes that are on that bluff.” As with any plan, the cost savings options are a balancing act. Shifting Bellevue Way would displace three more residences and result in 25 partial acquisitions. Employing the trench option on Southeast Fourth – widely supported by the Surrey Downs neighborhood — would be a $6 million to $11 million cost increase. It’d reduce overall noise, but bells signaling train arrival still would be audible from neighboring homes. And downtown’s Northeast Sixth station, though it would mitigate vibration impacts to buildings like the Coast Plaza Hotel, would result in higher business displacement. The Rosells say that when they moved in 25 years ago, the noise along Bellevue Way was half of what it is now. “The unknowns are still greater than
“Bellevue Police were serving an arrest and search warrant that morning to apprehend a serious and violent offender suspected of at least three Bellevue robberies,” said Pillo, “and to recover evidence of the crimes of robbery.” Smith’s criminal history also includes felony and misdemeanor convictions for burglary, felony theft, assault of a child, felony assault, bank robbery and parole violations. Pillo says that the federal government had labeled him an armed career criminal, and a violent offender by the Department of Corrections. It was for that reason that Bellevue SWAT served the warrant. She added that it was not unusual for police agencies to make arrests outside their jurisdiction. The case has also attracted attention because officer Hiam was involved in a shooting in 2009, when he was charged by a person with a knife. Witness accounts corroborated that his use of force was permissible. Once the investigation is completed by the Seattle Police Department, the case will then be forwarded to the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290; ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com the knowns.,” says Robert. “On the one hand, you want to believe they’re experts, that this is going to be just fine. But you see what’s happened in other areas, all these unintended consequences and negative impacts. We’re the ones living on the front lines. We have to bear it, not City Council or Sound Transit.” Recently, stories from Rainier Valley’s Central Link alignment have caught the attention of Bellevue residents. Homes as far as 375 feet from the train are undergoing renovation and insolation efforts to account for noise traffic far greater than anything Sound Transit anticipated. “The total count of homes is now up to 400 and growing at a rate of ten to 12 a week,” said Joe Rosmann at Monday’s meeting. He worries that with East Link, homes in the Enatai, Bellefield, Bellecrest and Surrey Downs neighborhoods are at risk of the same noise complaints. The cost of retroactively mitigating these issues, residents worry, could eclipse any cost savings efforts. And though Monday’s presentation seemed to suggest improved conditions for some sections of the alignment, members of the council pointed out that the report had been conducted according to federal criteria, not Bellevue’s noise code. A public hearing on cost savings efforts is scheduled for April 15. And on April 22 the City Council will be asked for direction on cost savings options. Sound Transit will make its final decision on incorporating options into the alignment three days later.

Youth Eastside Services (YES) headquarters building, 2012. COURTESY PHOTO
Park, community center combats crime in Crossroads In the 1970s, the Crossroads neighborhood had a reputation for crime, especially juvenile delinquency. As a response to this problem, the City of Bellevue decided to construct a park and community center in the area, and in 1978 the city bought the 27-acre Village Green Golf Course for Entrance sign to the about $2 million. Despite a certain amount Crossroads Park and of pushback from local golf- Community Center, circa 1985. COURTESY PHOTO, City of Bellevue ers, the parks department reduced the golf course to nine holes and erected a community center and gymnasium on the property. Construction started in 1980, and the center opened in May of 1981. Since that time the community center has continually provided a variety of classes and structured activities. Park features have grown to include jogging trails, a picnic area, basketball and tennis courts, and the nine-hole golf course. In more recent years, the Crossroads Skate Bowl opened in the park in 2006, and Youth Eastside Services (YES) opened a new headquarters building there in 2008. At about the same time, the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club raised funds to construct a water spray playground for young children. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.

Bellevue a great place for life, work, career
B
ellevue is an amazing place and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to live and work here. Today is my last day at Sound Publishing and I will be entering into that curious world of retirement. I have spent 26 years in the newspaper business and I’m not sure I can remember a day that I have been bored with my work. I have been fortunate to have worked alongside talented editors and excellent sales professionals. I learned from controllers, human resource managers and pressmen who crank out a newspaper on a regular basis. Janet Taylor I’ve have been entrenched in the digital world and still love to see a newspaper on the porch. The most rewarding part of the job has been the people. People are the news whether they work for you or are running for office. The opinions and actions of people are what create diversity of thought; this is what kept me going day after day. Sound Publishing is a stellar company to work for. They have quietly grown into one of the largest media companies in the Pacific Northwest. Our suburban news teams cover and report local news in more depth than the major dailies within the same region. I have been proud to be part of the Sound Publishing Family. My husband, Hank, and I plan to stay here. We moved here four years ago from Montana and have fallen in love with everything the Northwest has to offer – except for the snow. I do miss the dry powder of Montana and am grateful half of my family still lives there so I can frequent my favorite Montana ski hills all winter long. This spring and summer I plan to focus on my family and kill every slug in my garden. I want to paint the inside of my house and play the piano everyday. I’ll be reading the news and putting my skills to work to help others. I am looking forward to the journey. Thank you for reading the Bellevue Reporter. Thank you for your thoughts, your opinions, your actions. Thank you for making Bellevue such a great place to live and work.

Time to fix Medina’s broken reputation
O
n Tuesday March 26, my phone rang, The verdict was in. By the time I pushed my way through the courtroom doors, the jury was seated and, just like on TV, the judge asked the jury if they had reached a verdict. He took the form from the jury foreperson and reviewed the multi-page document. After polling the jurors individually as to whether this verdict reflected their own opinions he read the decision. Question 1: With regards to the plaintiff ’s first claim, do you find that defendant’s engaged in an adverse employment action and that plaintiff ’s race and/or national origin was a substantial factor in such adverse employment action? Heija Nunn Answer: Yes I squeezed the hand of my friend and former Medina city council member. We joined others in weeping quietly as the judge continued to read the verdict findings for the plaintiff, former Medina Police Chief Jeffrey Chen in all four of his claims against the city. But that was not all the jury decided. The jury also had to decide whether the city had proven its claimed defenses through clear and convincing evidence. The court asked the jury to weigh whether the city had proven that it would have placed Chief Chen on administrative leave, forced his resignation or discharged him even if race or national origin had not been a factor. The jury was unconvinced, they said no. Further the jury of eight neutral strangers went on to decide that the city had violated Chief Chen’s constitutional right to substantive due process and that the actions of City Manager Donna Hanson warranted charges of punitive damages against her personally because they found that
her actions were “malicious, oppressive or in reckless disregard of plaintiff ’s rights.” The jury awarded Chen about $2 million in back pay and other damages on all of his claims. Also, Hanson was ordered to pay Chen $25,000 in punitive damages. And yet the city is surprised by the verdict, seemingly shocked, and issued a statement saying, in part, “While it is unfortunate that this isn’t over, we look forward to moving beyond this issue once justice has been served.” Based on the city’s statement, recipients might believe that the entire city of Medina government, as well as employees and residents, believe that the Chinese guy winning his federal court case means that justice has not been served. I disagree, and I know I am not the only one. Chief Chen lost his job and his reputation purportedly because of a collection of soundly refuted allegations. I sincerely hope that the seven elected officials of Medina immediately work harder to embody, represent and uphold the laws of justice in our country than to support an employment and government environment that endorses racial discrimination and separation. The reputation of our city is in the hands of seven people; it only takes four wise voices to begin the process necessary to heal our city’s broken government and damaged reputation. The question for Medina City Council members is whether or not the city of Medina should allow and endorse racial discrimination and malicious oppressive leadership. What will be their verdict? Heija Nunn is a columnist for Eastside Scene magazine. She lives in Medina.

What parents need to know about drugs and kids
W
e all want to know what our kids are being exposed to at school and within the community. And no doubt, there are some things we should be paying attention to, especially when it comes to substance use.
Drug and alcohol trends Drug and alcohol use is one of the biggest concerns parents have. A look at trends for Youth Eastside Services (YES) clients over the past three years shows a slight decrease in alcohol use, although it's still the number one drug of choice. According to the 2010 Healthy Youth Survey given in local schools, 25 percent of high school seniors have binge drank in past 2 weeks — that’s five or more drinks in a row. Forty-one percent of teens have had a glass or bottle of alcohol in the past month; of those, 28 percent are heavy or problem drinkers. With laws and social mores changing around marijuana, it's not surprising to Patti Skeltonsee a 15 percent increase in marijuana McGougan use among teens seen at YES. Eightynine percent report it as the first or second drug-of-choice, and it's the number one drug that brings kids in for treatment. It's important for parents to understand that marijuana today is much stronger — eight times stronger or than the “weed” of the sixties. Despite this, kids are less worried about it. In fact, more kids see dangers in alcohol use or second-hand smoke than marijuana. Perhaps most concerning has been the increase in reported heroin use. As education on prescription opiate
www.BellevueReporter.com use has resulted in a decline in availability, the increase in street price (some as much as $80 or more per pill) has led youth to heroin as a less expensive alternative — about $10 a hit for a 2- to 4-hour high. Three years ago, YES had no kids admitting to heroin use. Last year, 6 percent said they used the drug. Because heroin is among the most addictive drugs out there, this relatively modest increase means this trend deserves close scrutiny and action. Home-made drugs continue to be a challenge, in part because their highs can be so dangerous and unpredictable. Though Washington state has outlawed spice and bath salts, two drugs that were readily available in smoke shops, teens are still finding access to them. Many feel they are a safe high because they can be purchased at a local store, but nothing could be further from the truth. Last year a teen high on bath salts stabbed and killed the girl he was getting high with, during a moment of extreme paranoia.
What parents can do It’s important to remember that drugs and alcohol are around and available to our kids, and that kids from every socio-economic background are at risk for alcohol and drug use. In some ways, teens from higher income families are at greater risk for having resources to purchase and a greater likelihood to drive under the influence. Stay alert to what’s happening in your neighborhood, or maybe even in your home. Kids are in crisis everywhere. Don’t be afraid to talk openly with your kids about drugs. Studies show that when parents disapprove about something and make it known, their kids are less likely to engage in the risky behavior. If you do need help, remember that YES serves clients from all income levels; no one is turned away for inability to pay. Our counselors are available to answer questions if you have concerns, and our speakers may be scheduled to speak to a group at your school or place of worship. As alarming as drug and alcohol use may be, there are other issues plaguing our kids as well. Next month I will touch on these and other ways parents can help.

The Nature Conservancy – Connecting Our Future with Our Past One of the unfortunate by-products of industrialization and population growth is the degradation or loss of natural ecosystems that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years. Many of these natural communities provide unmatchable characteristics that support sustenance to unique or vital species of plants and animals. While the march of progress will always continue, most people feel it is important to balance that progress with efforts to preserve the natural heritage of our great land. That is the work to which The Nature Conservancy has dedicated its mission, and it is why QFC is proud to feature The Nature Conservancy as our charity of the month for April. The work of The Nature Conservancy is wide-ranging and extensive as it seeks to preserve pristine natural areas that have not been adversely impacted by civilization, rebuild and restore areas that have suffered negative impacts and develop solid, science-based solutions to address current problems.
The Conservancy is working on many fronts to preserve and restore wild animal populations throughout Washington State. As an example, the Conservancy has been working in the Skagit River region since the mid-1970s to enhance both the bird and fish populations in the area while also supporting the farmers who make their livings here. The project has helped preserve more than 9,000 acres of bald eagle habitat as well as 10 miles of river and thousands of acres of forest. The Conservancy has worked for years to protect the Skagit and its ecosystem. This is the only river in Washington which supports all five native species of Pacific salmon. Because salmon are abundant, a renewed population of hundreds of bald eagles gathers along the banks each winter to feed on them. The river’s floodplains, tributaries, side channels and sloughs also support large populations of migratory shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors. Other examples of the Conservancy’s important work here in Washington abound.

LA designer to lecture at Bellevue College
Renowned Los Angeles-based designer and architect Frank Clementi will visit the campus of Bellevue College on Thursday, April 11 to present a free lecture titled “Hippies, Radicals and Weirdos.” Clementi, who is the Doris Katz Distinguished Visiting Critic in BC’s Interior Design program, will examine architectural themes in buildings constructed during the sixties and seventies. The event is free and open to the public. Clementi is a principal with Rios Clementi Hale Studios. Since joining the firm in 1990, he has been involved in the design of a wide range of projects, including offices, child care centers, theaters, residential commissions, parks and municipal works, and is a member of the city of Los Angeles Mayor’s Design Advisory Committee. Clementi has taught at the University of Southern California, Art Center College of Design, and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and currently teaches at Woodbury University in Burbank, Calif. He earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. Clementi’s lecture is part of a comprehensive professional engagement program for the college’s Interior Design students, made possible by a $200,000 gift last year by the friends and family of Doris Katz, a former instructor and program chair who died in 1991. In addition to visits from design professionals like Clementi, the gift will fund master workshops, trips to regional design studios, internships and more. The lecture will be at 7:30 p.m. in Building N, Room 201 on BC’s campus, 3000 Landerholm Circle SE.

Janice Morris to head board of Bellevue Downtown Association
Couple falls in love and finds inspiration for new dating service BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
When Mayumi Shugarts and Aaron Muller first met at a trade show several years back, the couple had largely given up on love. Shugarts was handing out T-shirts and the two exchanged playful jabs. “I was at a point in life where I personally felt like I couldn’t fall in love again,” said Muller, whose first marriage ended after 11 years. “I’d date, but nobody really intrigued me.” Both had been married, divorced and were raising children of their own. “I can show you blogs that I was writing, I was so jaded,” recounts Muller. “Then two weeks later I’d met the love of my life.” Now their love story is the inspiration behind a new dating service. Engaged and working out of downtown Bellevue, Muller and Shugarts last month launched Make It a Great Date. “We call ourselves headhunters for love,” says Shugarts. Rather than competing with dating service behemoths like Match.com or eHarmony, the couple hopes to distinguish themselves with a commitment to local, personalized matchmaking. Make It a Great Date provides three main avenues to love: an online profile, bimonthly events and in-person interviews and advice, including makeovers and a photo shoot. At its core is the Myers Briggs personality test, an assessment of individual inborn preferences and traits that the couple feels will help their clients navigate not just their romances, but their relationships with friends, family and coworkers. The couple says their best asset though, is their own experience, that of the “modern family.” Shugarts is 45, and Muller 39. She is half-Japanese and half-black. He is Caucasian. Shugarts is a former Ms. Washington and spent years modeling, running home businesses and later as a single mother.

Mayumi Shugarts and Aaron Muller want to help others to have the happiness they found. Muller calls himself a “serial entrepreneur,” having spent the last 20 years as a business broker. And when the couple marries in two weeks, they’ll have a blended family with five children: 4, 8, 14, 16 and 19. Relationships, Shugarts and Muller agree, are complicated, particularly when life has already taken off and couples may be doubtful about love the second time around. “We have so many friends that give us the same horror stories about their dating experiences and have met many people that stay in unhappy relationships just because it is convenient,” they say. “We wanted to have a personalized matchmaking service that really delved into personality traits and [helped] with navigating through what those traits mean when being in a relationship with that person.” In February, Make It a Great Date hosted a sold-out launch party at Suite Lounge. The couple says it’s too soon to share success stories, though the response from members has so far been positive. In the meantime, they’re busy planning their own celebration. “We’re getting married in two weeks,” says Muller, “So we’re trying to focus on that.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290; ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

LANGUAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
years ago after spending time in Issaquah and Seattle and has been in the field of language curriculum for 20 years. One of her main attractions the the Bellevue district was its willingness to explore forward-thinking options like dual-language teaching. “There was a lot of parent interest and teachers understand,” she said. Lizano’s class at Sherwood Forest and six more like it in the district at Stevenson, Ardmore and Lake Hills are operating in 2012-13 with six more beginning next year. When the program began with Lizano’s class last year the mission was simple: teach in two languages, with roughly half the students being native-English speakers and the other half native-speakers of the target language, in Lizano’s case, Spanish. The curiosity in the community coincided with emerging scientific and academic research suggesting children who begin second-language acquisition at younger ages are not only more likely to retain that knowledge, but see cognitive benefits across the board. “It was one of those perfect storms,” LaMare said.
Laying the foundation Critical to the district’s mission of dual-language instruction is emerging research in language acquisition and the benefits of bilingualism as it relates to age. According to Julia Her-
schensohn, the chair of the linguistics department at the University of Washington, human beings begin learning language even in the womb and are more predisposed to language acquisition as youngsters. “Everybody learns a first language without even knowing how it happens,” Herschensohn said. “If babies are exposed to two languages equally, they grow in the same way.” While learning a second language is attainable as a teenager or even adult, certain elements of speech such as response time can never reach the level of those who learn as young children or natively. Herschensohn has presented on countless studies and volumes of data and said even fluent adult speakers lack the reaction time of native speakers or those who began their second-language acquisition as children. “Early bi-linguals can be pretty much identical in reaction time to native learners,” she said. “Adult learners, even if the are very proficient and have reactions that are the same quality, you can’t expect to get native reaction time.” For Lizano and other dual-language teachers, taking the instruction into Spanish or Mandarin (also offered in Bellevue) not only expands the base for native-English speaking students, but also helps reinforce the value of the target language to its own native speakers. Lizano was born in Costa Rica before spending his childhood in Paraguay and later studying at Illinois Wesleyan University. His introduction to teaching came in Chicago, where he earned a bi-lingual
A student looks at a Spanish story while reading with teacher Mariano Lizano and classmates. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter endorsement and taught two years in a bi-lingual program before coming to Bellevue and operating the pilot kindergarten class. He said while the program makes it challenging to communicate at times, the long-term benefits for students both in the classroom and eventually the workforce make it worthwhile. “We tell parents to take it slow, don’t tell your child to say something in Spanish after the first day of school,” Lizano said. “Even in the most unexpected situations, it will show up.”
A glimpse of the future While the cultural benefits of the program for both native-English and native-Spanish or Mandarin speakers are obvi-
ous – students are shown the inherent value of their language and culture – the real payoff, according to the school district and others in the field, comes well down the road when they enter a workforce that has an increasing need for bi-lingual speakers. Sadia Habib is a family care physician at Redmond’s Overlake Medical Center and a native of Pakistan, where she lived and studied before moving to the United States to complete her residency. Near the Microsoft campus and in one of the Eastside’s most rapidly developing ethnic enclaves, Habib said her ability to communicate with patients and their family members in Hindi or Urdu has been vital, especially with the older generation. “When parents are visit-
ing and have medical problems, there is a huge gap in communication,” she said. Habib said she treats only one to a few patients per week who cannot communicate in English, along with those who are visiting or new to the country. One recent patient was unable to find the source of her joint pain and nausea, even with her daughter playing impromptu translator. “I said, ‘I can speak your language,’” Habib said. “She opened up and a lot of her problems were easier to understand. Things do get lost when you’re translating and it is double the amount of time.” Bellevue’s demographics have been in flux for the past several years as the city has grown into a major business and cultural hub. The future of its school
district and neighborhoods will likely depend increasingly on bi-lingual communication in coming years, and according to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s records, the district is already made up of 51.7 percent nonwhite students. More than 30 percent of students are Asian and another 10.5 percent is Hispanic, which is one of the reasons the BSD began its program with Spanish and Mandarin as the offerings. While the BSD program has only Kindergartners and first graders, administrators including LaMare last year visited a school in Minnesota to meet with a group of high school seniors who had been part of a dual-language immersion program since Kindergarten. “The kids were saying they felt like they could do any career,” LaMare said. “The language piece just becomes part of the overall confidence and feeling secure in their options.” For Lizano and his students, the benefits of the program crop up every day and in a variety of circumstances. Whether responding to a math equation in unison or learning the value of one another’s cultures through group projects, Lizano said his students are growing exponentially. “It is fascinating to see how they work together,” he said. “They are able to understand each other, it is a very interesting synergy.”

Youngsters leading Totem turnaround BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
For the past two seasons, things have been anything but easy for the Sammamish softball program. As other KingCo squads at Juanita and Bellevue saw a talent boom that led to conference titles and state tournament appearances, the Totems often found themselves on the short end of lopsided outcomes. Numbers were down - only nine players turned out for the program in 2011 - and despite an energetic coaching staff led by Sammamish alum Jess Cabales and her husband Allen, the results on the field did not reflect the work going on behind the scenes. “The toughest part for me was seeing the girls who wanted success so bad,” Cabales recalled. “And it wasn’t coming.” But in 2013, with a host of excitable freshmen that have brought a rejuvenated outlook, the Totems are hoping to turn a corner. Cabales said the stigma of recent seasons has not impacted this year’s group, which includes only one junior in Nikki KernsKovac and a lone senior in Kasey Hormel.
Seven of the team’s other nine varsity players are freshmen, each of whom Cabales and her husband have coached for several years in Bellevue East Little League along with their own daughters. “I’ve been counting down the years until I had this group,” Cabales said. “They have been fun to work with, very coachable and they are talented.” While they have fallen on hard times the past two seasons, Cabales is hoping this group can bring back some of the panache that took the Totems to the 3A state tournament from 2000-02 and again from 2005-2007 and earned a pair of third-place trophies in its final two tournaments. 2013 is the first time Sammamish has fielded a junior varsity team in several seasons (that team includes a two players from Newport, which was unable to field a JV team) and Cabales said the entire tone of the program has shifted with the entrance of the 2016 class. As the prep squad struggled in recent years, Cabales’ Little League teams had great measures of success, including a near-miss at a World Series appearance. “These freshmen are coming in with that
(Left to right) Freshman Maria Smith, senior Kasey Hormel and her sister, sophomore Andi, have Sammamish looking ahead to brighter days on the softball diamond after a pair of trying seasons. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter experience and are finding what their role is as high school players,” she said. “Our returners have been in those lean years and understand where we come from and where we are going and the combination is what really makes it work.” Through the first two weeks of the season, the returns are encouraging. Sammamish already owns a win over Mercer Island and will conclude a rainsuspended game with Bellevue in a 7-7 tie. Kerns-Kovac, who was injured early last season, has returned to the pitcher’s circle with a 2.26 ERA and has been helped by the work of freshman Maria Smith, who has given Cabales a second pitching option she didn’t have last year. Hormel is batting .500 and her younger sister, sophomore Andi, is setting the table in the leadoff spot. “Last year, we went in thinking we would lose and just trying to have fun,” Kasey Hormel said. “Now, we still want to have fun, but also win and be competitive.”
The road to the postseason won’t be easy for the Totems, even in Class 2A. Lake Washington, which currently leads the conference standings, is the other 2A school in KingCo and whichever finishes with a better regular season record will go to the District 1 tournament. Regardless of how high the other finishes in the standings, only one will make it to the postseason. But with a youthful core and 10 of the team’s 11 varsity players set to return next year, Cabales has the program focused on long term growth as well. For the underclassmen and coaching staff, the chance to send out Hormel with a playoff appearance or winning record is just as important. “She is really the glue that holds us all together,” Cabales said. “She deserves a lot.” Josh Suman: 425-453-5045 jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Lacrosse Roundup
Jo Heywood had five goals against Issaquah.COURTESY PHOTO
The Bellevue East girls lacrosse team owned a 3-3 overall record as of the Reporter’s press time, only one game back of league leaders Issaquah, Lake Sammamish and Overlake. Bellevue is 3-3-1 on the young season and Forest Ridge is 3-2 overall but winless in the Snoqualmie Conference. On the boys side, Bellevue is still unbeaten at 7-0 and sits in a virtual tie with Mercer Island, which is 5-0 in the King West Conference and 6-1 overall. The Wolverines picked up a win over Eastlake in its return to league play. Bellevue will face Mercer Island only once during the regular season, at home on May 3.
Bellevue’s Cansler makes AP All-State hoops team Bellevue made it back to the state tournament for the first time in five years this season behind second-year head coach Leah Krautter and a strong contingent of freshmen, and on Monday, one of them garnered yet another honor. Shelby Cansler was named to the Associated Press AllState Second Team for Class 3A. She was the only KingCo player represented on the 3A team and the only freshman on any of the 12 teams from Class 4A to 1B. Cansler was one of a handful of Bellevue youngsters that helped the Wolverines to a second-straight conference tournament title and 13-1 record in the league. Bellevue finished the year 25-4, knocked out defending state champion Prairie in the regional round and dispatched Glacier Peak to make it to the 3A semi-finals before falling to eventual state champion Cleveland and Player of the Year Makala Roper. Cansler averaged more than 16 points per game to lead Bellevue’s offensive attack this year, and added nearly five steals and six rebounds per contest.

Football team hosting tryouts A new team in the Northwest Junior College Football League, the Bellevue JC Bulldogs, are holding tryouts for the 2013 season on April 6 at Robinswood Park in Bellevue (2430 148th Ave. SE). To be eligible, a player must be enrolled in at least five credits for the fall quarter at any two-year school in the Puget Sound area. While the team is called the Bulldogs, neither it nor the NWJCFL have any affiliation with Bellevue College or the NWAACC, which governs other sports at the school. On its website, the Bellevue JC Bulldogs list the primary goal of the team as, “To coach our players and prepare them for the chance to attend and/or play at the next college level.” The team is coached by Kevin Bouwman, who spent his collegiate playing days at Utah State and was the program’s career tackling leader. The NWJCFL has teams in the Columbia Basin, Kit-
sap Peninsula and Everett in addition to Bellevue. The last community college in the state to offer football was Walla Wall, but its program ended in 1996. In the years since, former Auburn Junior Football and Auburn Riverside Gridiron Club president Kory Hill has been making a push to get the sport reinstated at the community college level. He founded the league in 2009. Oregon also does not offer community college football, meaning many Washington preps end up in California if they initially fall short of their Division I dreams. Tryouts are from 3-5 p.m. and will include traditional positional drills as well as other tests for speed and agility. Cost is $40 and registration is available online or at the combine.

ou wouldn’t expect someone who’s retired to need a vacation, but when my writing instructor at the University of Washington announced that we’d have two weeks off for spring break, I decided I wanted a real vacation, one that involved leaving home. My Alaska Airlines miles had been gathering dust for years. My expired companion fare coupons disappeared Ann Oxrieder long ago in the kitchen junk drawer. Time to collect some of my “rewards.” My first idea was to travel to Guanajuato, Mexico, where we used to visit every summer. I rejected this plan when the airfare totaled what we paid to go to Madrid last fall and the schedule required us to spend a couple of leisurely days or nights at an airport. Honolulu became my next choice when I learned that we could use our air miles to fly first class, round trip for $10, forgetting that the costs of food and lodging for a week in Waikiki would match what we paid for 18 days in Spain. I’ve chosen to focus on only one of the many expensive activities tourists can enjoy in Honolulu, the equivalent of sparing you a look at all our travel photos. Honolulu tourist activities take place well above sea level — helicopter rides and parasailing; at sea level — whale watching, sailing and surfing; and underwater. For our big splurge, or should I say plunge, we
chose to travel below the sea. Since neither of us is a diver or even a good swimmer, we opted for a submarine ride. The Nautilus, the submarine in Jules Verne’s adventure, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, operated at depths well below those reached by the Atlantis submarine we sailed on. The fictional boat could dive to four leagues, or about 10 miles. Ours scraped bottom at 120 feet. Verne’s story featured a giant sea monster capable of damaging an ocean liner. Its most famous scene pitted sailors in battle against a giant squid. Our story featured many small and colorful fish and a few large ones, all of which were pretty. None posed a threat to our safety. According to our underwater tour guide, natural reefs off the coast of Waikiki have been disappearing for a hundred years. Artificial reefs, “a series of concrete pyramids,” are helping recreate new habitat for coral, fish, spiny urchins and other marine life. Two scuttled ships and an airplane also aid in the recovery process. Large openings in these structures give cover for predators waiting to attack smaller fish. The boat moved fast enough that we could avoid witnessing this ambush. The Atlantis accommodated 64 passengers with one viewing porthole for every two people. The trip was peaceful, the fish calming. Our only battle took place in a restaurant that evening as we fought with forks over a plate of calamari. It was bad enough that the week in Hawaii came to an end, worse when we arrived in Seattle to hail and a snowstorm and the cat we boarded in a cat hotel refused to come home. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http:// stillalife.wordpress.com/.

CELEBRATING EARTH DAY The Naked Gardener - Going Natural in the Yard
Earth Day:
The History of A Movement Each year, Earth Day - April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. “Environment” was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. Although mainstream America remained oblivious to environmental concerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment for the modern environmental movement, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries and, up until that moment, more than any other person, Ms. Carson raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and public health. The idea came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, he realized that if he could infuse that energy with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservationminded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair; and recruited Denis Hayes as national coordinator. Hayes built a national staff of 85 to promote events across the land. As a result, on the 22nd of April, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.
Going naked in the garden means going natural - the way nature intended your garden to grow.
Not all stars have problems with drugs and drinking. Our local nurseries are full of pestresistant plants that never need spraying and survive on rainfall alone. I can even promise you a rose garden without pesticides if you choose the right type of rose. Some of these diva plants also have fantastic figures - without having to go under the knife for special Marianne Binetti pruning or be put on expensive diets. Learn Columnist how to use colorful nandinas, dwarf conifers and amazing foliage plants that offer drama without the drinking and other demands of constant care. It is time we honored these well-behaved, garden super heroes by planting them more often.
The Compleat Home Gardener
We live in one of the most naturally beautiful and green places in all the world. Loose your inhibitions because there is no need to over-fertilize, spray pesticides or over water to create a lush and lovely landscape. You can become a naked gardeners just by peeling off the layers of confusion and getting down to the naked truth.
Here‚ are three seminars that celebrate the truth about gardening naked:
You can have a Northwest Garden without a sprinkler system. Going Natural with Lawns and Landscapes At the root of naked gardening is good soil that holds moisture and a mulch that seals in moisture. Instead of digging in pipes for a sprinkler system, dig in compost, bark chips and learn to layer your bare soil with grass clippings and other natural soil improvements. Lawns can also look lovely without a sprinkler system. Just say no to the low mow, leave the clippings on the grass, aerate more often and use a slow-release lawn food that feeds the soil. Our soils are naturally acid so learn the naked truth about apply lime and growing the right grass varieties for a more carefree lawn. Natural lawn care also means tips on using the right mower, how and when to cut the lawn and using the laws of nature to control the weeds. Free seminar on “Northwest Gardens without Automatic Sprinklers” on June 1, 10:30am in Issaquah at Blakely Hall and Saturday May 4 at 10am at Skyway Water and Sewer District. Phone 201.772.7343 for more info)
Unbeatable Plants: Create Drama without the Drinking or Chemical Dependency Going naked with no-fuss, no-water plants can make a dramatic statement in the garden. This means star-quality, focal point plants such as graceful Japanese maples, brightly-colored barberries and dramatically different yuccas that make a real exclamation point even when contained in an urn or pot.

(Free seminar on “Unbeatable Plants” Tuesday, April 30, 6pm at Bellevue City Hall phone 425.453.1810 for more info)
Transform your Dry Shade into Lush Beauty: Nudity in the Dark Large trees mean dry shade and our native fir and cedar trees suck the moisture away from traditional, shade-loving flowers. This makes homeowners think they must add more water and more fertilizer to garden under trees. Not true. Consider the bare fact that our forests are covered with lush growth under huge trees because Mother Natures wants a garden in the shade. Look to the natural beauty of native sword ferns, Oregon grape, huckleberry and even moss-covered boulders. The rest of the world pays big bucks for our native plants and are delighted at how little water our native plants require and how well they thrive in the shade. To light up the dark corners of your garden consider springblooming bulbs such as snowdrop, cyclamen and dwarf daffodils that bloom during dark winter days and grown into large healthy colonies when allowed to dry out during the summer. Hellebores, Japanese anemones and lamiums are other flowers that bloom even under the canopy of evergreen trees. Naked gardeners know that shaded areas are the worst place to try and grown a lawn. Learn about lawn alternatives and you‚Äôll have a garden in the shade that will be happy to go natural. (Free seminar on‚ “Transform Your Dry Shade into Lush Beauty” Saturday, May 18, 10am Issaquah at Tibbetts Creek Manor Phone 425.837.3412 for more info)
Clean, shine, polish, and unclog the safe and healthy way. Read the label before you buy. Buy and use the least hazardous product that does the job. Avoid products labeled DANGER or POISON. Never mix household cleaners. Do not mix bleach with other cleaners or soaps, especially ammonia products. These mixtures create hazardous gases. Use safer alternatives. Clean efficiently using common, less-hazardous, and inexpensive products.
For Green Cleaning recipes using common household items, visit www.bellevuewa.gov/ household_hazardous_waste.htm Questions: 425-452-6932 recycle@bellevuewa.gov
Reduce your use of germ-killing cleaners. Overuse of antibacterial or antimicrobial products may create resistant germs. Simple soap and water are effective. Find more tips from Washington Toxics Coalition at www.watoxics.org/ content/pdf/Antimicrobials.pdf. Avoid air fresheners and fabric softeners. These products add particles and perfume chemicals to indoor and outdoor air, which may trigger asthma and skin ailments.

Seahawks’ Russell Wilson talks faith, football at fundraiser BY MATT PHELPS REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
Timing is everything in life and football. NFL quarterback Russell Wilson has proven he has good timing with his passes and where he was drafted. He has made the most of it by becoming a franchise player for the Seahawks and taking them to the playoffs during his rookie season. Northwest University, a Christian school located in Kirkland, had good timing as well. Organizers of its third annual athletic Hall of Fame Benefit were able to procure Wilson’s appearance during the summer – before most people knew that the 5-foot, 10-inch quarterback would take the league by storm. “We got advice from (former NFL quarterback) Jeff Kemp,” said Northwest University President Joseph Castleberry. “We sent (Wilson) a fruit basket and booked him before his fame bubble popped.” Wilson was the featured speaker during the Division II university’s event held on Friday night at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue. The quarterback talked about Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson everything from his faith to his goals to his was the guest speaker at the Northwest record-breaking rookie season. University Hall of Fame Benefit on Friday, “I have been a lot of places and there is March 22, at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. nothing like here,” Wilson said. “This city is SCOTT CHRISTOPHER photo unbelievable.” Before being drafted Wilson said he put college he played both football and baseball his faith in God, put the names of all 32 and took 18 credits per quarter to graduate NFL teams into a hat and pulled out the early. That work ethic has stayed with him Seahawks. as he arrives at the stadium three hours “I don’t have highs and lows because early on game day to prepare. I play for him,” said Wilson. “I have no “It is amazing, there are already people nerves. ” MoesBellevueApril5FINAL_Layout 1 13-04-02 4:42 PM Page 1 in the stands,” Wilson said. “The energy Wilson is known for his work ethic. In
in that stadium when I walk out there is amazing. But I play for an audience of one.” But it was his leadership that helped him succeed. “I always step in the huddle thinking this is the play,” Wilson said. He noted that beating the Packers on Monday Night Football was one of the biggest games of the season. “You could literally feel the field shaking,” Wilson said. But the biggest win of the season for him came against New England because he beat a man he truly respects – quarterback Tom Brady. Wilson’s confidence and lofty aspirations for his team and himself charged up the banquet crowd. “I want to be like Peyton Manning, where guys talk about him as one of the smartest guys to play the game. But I also want to have that competitive edge that people talk about Tom Brady. But I also want the feet of a Drew Brees, a guy that is ridiculously athletic and can make every single throw. I want to have it all to be honest,” Wilson said to a room full of laughter that grew into applause. “I don’t think anything can stop me when I trust in him.” Wilson discussed the roots of his faith in God and that he wasn’t always a good person. “I was a bad kid,” he said. “I was the kid that hit people.” But it changed when he was 14. “I had a dream that my dad passed away and Jesus came into the room,” said Wilson, who posts a Bible verse each day to his
Twitter account. “That was when I gave my life to Jesus. He is not shy about his faith. “You have to stand for something and he has given me this tremendous platform,” Wilson said. He talked about the influence of head coach Pete Carroll, who, like Wilson, is eminently positive about life. “He is the second oldest coach in the NFL, but he acts like he is 35,” Wilson said. “He is always trying to race me to the end of the field and then says ‘got you.’ I am like ‘slow down, you’re gonna pull a hamstring.’” The quarterback also believes in miracles. “I should not be in the NFL – I am 5-10 and five-eighths,” said Wilson, who turned down a million-dollar contract in baseball to take a chance with football. “All the adversity and naysayers, God doesn’t care about that.” Wilson said that his life consists of football and hanging out with his wife and three dogs. The couple took their honeymoon in Dubai. “That is the only place I have gone outside of the country other than (the Seahawks game in) Toronto,” said Wilson. “I want to go someplace after every year we play in the Super Bowl.” The appearance of Wilson made for a very successful night, drawing nearly 600 people and raising thousands of dollars towards athletic scholarships.

More layoffs for T-Mobile Though the statement did not specify how many Bellevue employees were affected, it claimed that the number was small compared to its overall size. Last year T-Mobile cut more than 4,200 jobs, many of them in call centers and 900 more nationally. Protests in Bellevue cropped up following the announcements. In a press release issued March 8, T-Mobile attempted to squash rumors that the merger would bring the closure of more call centers or their relocation overseas: "Over the
T-Mobile USA, headquartered in Bellevue, has confirmed it will lay off employees as part of its expected merger with Dallas-based MetroPCS. With the merger, T-Mobile will become a publicly listed company. In a prepared statement, T-Mobile said it was making the move "to address consumer frustration with the unnecessary cost and complexity of wireless," adding that the changes would "better align our business with our new strategy and position T-Mobile for growth."

past six months, T-Mobile has hired more than 3,600 employees in our 17 domestic call centers and we plan to continue hiring in those call centers, increasing the number of overall U.S. positions, to support our customers." This week the company launched its latest upgrade to network 4G LTE technology, of which some of the laid off employees were reportedly working on through the weekend. T-Mobile last year employed about 4,800 people in its Bellevue headquarters and 36,000 nationally.

Bellevue College’s achievements in improving campus sustainability have earned it a spot in a group of just 20 colleges or universities nationwide that have been named finalists for the 2013 Second Nature Climate Leadership Awards. The awards recognize institutions that best exemplify the mission of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) to re-stabilize the earth’s climate through education, research and community engagement. Winners will be selected later this spring by the Second Nature Board of Directors. “We’re extremely proud of this recognition for the steps our campus has taken to operate in more sustainable ways,” said BC President David L. Rule. “We also know that we have lots of room for improvement,
and we’re continually working to find ways to make Bellevue College that much more environmentally friendly.” In tandem with the awards, Bellevue College is vying for the top spot in a public video voting competition. Beginning April 1 and running through the end of the month, viewers will have the opportunity to vote for the most innovative and groundbreaking institution among the 20 finalists, based on video submissions. All videos, including one BC produced documenting its campus sustainability initiatives, can be viewed and voted on by visiting http:// planetforward.org/climate-leadershipawards-2013. Last year, BC received a Governor’s Commute Smart Award and a Diamond Award from Commuter Challenge.

Pat Beers Patricia “Pat” Thelma Beers, 77, was born in Seattle in 1936, the granddaughter of the Chairman of the King County, Washington, Democratic Party during the “New Deal.” A graduate of Bellevue High School and the University of Washington, she taught school for several years, married Frank T. Beers III in 1957, and moved to Livermore, California after Frank’s graduation in 1959. She spent most of the 1960s working fulltime as a stay-at-home mom, then moved with her family from Livermore to Las Vegas in 1972. She taught preschool at Trinity Methodist Church, earned her Masters in Counseling from UNLV in 1982, and was certified Marriage and Family Therapist for several more decades before retiring to Sun City Summerlin, though she and Frank spent many retirement years touring the Continent in an RV. She had a keen intellect and sense of humor. She is survived by her husband, Frank, their son, Bob (Sarah) Beers and daughter, Allison Smith and four grandchildren, all of Las Vegas.

John Arthur (Jack) Kvarnstrom November 30, 1935 - March 26, 2013
Jack was a man who exemplified integrity, hard work, honor and commitment. He fiercely loved his Heavenly Father, family, the Bible, baseball, and woodworking. He touched many lives not always by what he said, but what he did even when he was not aware anyone was watching. He retired after 37 years at the Boeing Company spending the rest of his years being there for his family and completing fine woodworking projects as he was able. He is survived by his wife Dana of 54 years, four children, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He will be missed but left a legacy of example of his core values which will never go away. One of Jack’s favorite Winston Churchill quotes: “To perceive a path and to point it out is one thing, but to blaze the trail and labor to construct the path is a harder task.” We are all diminished when a man of honor passes on. Memorial service will be held 1:00pm Friday, April 5, 2013 at the Foothills Baptist Church (10120 Issaquah-Hobart Rd. SE, Issaquah, WA 98027) Remembrances may be shared at www. sunsethillsfuneralhome.com 761340

Local band plays Hard Rock tonight BY KEEGAN PROSSER

Photo by Lawrence Kim. the amount of influences we’ve all had - and how we create music together. You’re going to hear all types of influences. REPORTER: What is your goal in making music? HOLMES: We don’t write music like what you hear on the radio. We want to be original. Velcro Mindset wants to sound like Velcro Mindset. REPORTER: How do you guys write music? Is it a collaborative effort? HOLMES: It’s funny; we actually have two songs that were written on accident. I think our guitar player was tuning his guitar and I heard a sound. And I was like, ‘I know you probably didn’t mean for that to be anything, but could you repeat it over and over?” Next thing you know we were writing a whole song around that riff [“County Line” off “In The Wrong Room”]. REPORTER: What do you hope people walk away with after hearing your music? HOLMES: What I’ve seen people walk away with is musical amazement. We write technical songs; we don’t write three and four chord songs; we like to make it hard for us. We’re not a band just jumping around; it’s all about the music. REPORTER: You released your
sophomore effort, In The Wrong Room in December. What’s your favorite track off the album? HOLMES: It’s the opening track “Cave Man.” It’s really, really fun for me to play. I love being able to play cowbell on songs - it’s just fun. It’s a pretty stellar opening track. REPORTER: For the show at the Hard Rock, Velcro Mindset will be playing with reggae act Unite-One. How did that come about? HOLMES: They’re actually friends with our bass player. Ultimately, it’s about the amount of people you draw; you want a good show, you want people to play for. This is the first time we’ve had such a hard contrast in music [genres]. But I think teaming up together, we can make a successful night for both bands. REPORTER: What are you looking forward to about the Hard Rock show? HOLMES: You know what it is? What I like about it is the sound system. They’ve got a stellar sound system; when I hear my bass drum I get excited. And the Hard Rock is very classy and they really know how to take care of an act. It’s so professional. Velcro Mindset play at 8 p.m. Friday (tonight), at the Hard Rock Café Seattle. For more on Velcro Mindset, go to www. VelcroMindset.com.

BELLEVUE REPORTER: Where did band name come from? JOSH HOLMES: It took months and months. Out of the blue, Pat said Velcro Mindset. None of us liked it at first, but he stuck with it. It’s a little bit obscure. But some of the bridges we write are a little bit obscure; like, it takes you out of the music and then brings you back in.

Musician performs ‘Beowulf’
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Velcro Mindset’s music sticks to your brain. At least, that’s what their name suggests. Consisting of Pat Rosholt (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Chris Weyers (Lead Guitar), Ben Quayle (Bass Guitar) and Joshua Holmes (Drums) the act is known for blending elements of rock, blues, jazz, metal, and everything in between. On Friday night, they’ll pair their talents with reggae act Unite-One for a special performance at the Hard Rock Cafe Seattle. Formed in 2005 by Eastside residents Holmes and Rosholt, Velcro Mindset started out as an excuse to jam. “I was working at the Glendale Country Club - and Pat was my boss,” Holmes said. Although the two talked about playing for years, the idea didn’t come to fruition until Holmes had a chance encounter. “I was at a bar and I heard this guitar player complaining about how he was unhappy with his band,” Holmes said. Velcro Mindset was formed. In addition to placing second in Seattle’s Soundbite event, the band’s debut album, 2006’s Bring On The Strange, was the Editor’s Pick at IndieMusic.com in March 2012. They’ve since signed to Tate Music Group and released a second album called In The Wrong Room. The Reporter caught up with Holmes in advance of the Hard Rock Show, to talk about how Velcro Mindset came to be - and what’s up next for the act:
