A second chance at life
Bellevue girl’s liver transplant brings dramatic turn for better BY KEEGAN PROSSER
Ideas pitched in online forum
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Today, life is pretty normal for 14-yearold Kaitlin Burns. She likes playing tennis. She's learning to ride a bike. She bickers with her little sister, Maddie. But just over a year ago, that wasn't the case. When Kaitlin was just two weeks old, she was diagnosed with propionic acidemia – a rare, inherited disorder that prevents her body from processing certain parts of proteins. The condition - which affects only 1 in 100,000 people – kept Kaitlin sick. "The problem with most kids that have this condition is that, at nine months, they have no desire to eat," said Kaitlin's mother, Michelle. As such, Kaitlin received sustenance through a feeding tube for most of her life. By the time she reached age 13, Kaitlin had the cognitive abilities of an infant, could barely speak and was bound to a wheelchair. "Because of the toxin levels in Kaitlin's body, she was always in a haze," Michelle said. "Like she was drunk." That all changed in January 2012, when
Kaitlin Burns is able to be an active participant in her class. COURTESY PHOTO Kaitlin underwent liver transplant surgery. The biggest problem about Kaitlin's condition is that there is no cure. And while many in the medical community believe the disease can be treated through diet and medication, for Kaitlin, that
wasn’t enough. When Michelle heard about another child with propionic acidemia who had received a liver transplant with great results, SEE KAITLIN, 6
Two Bellevue residents die in crash involving bus
Reporter Newspapers
Passengers on the bus called 911 at around 9:30 p.m. to report the bus had hit an SUV, according to Washington State Patrol trooper Julie Judson. Some of the bus riders were reported to have injuries. "One was transported [to the hospital] but the rest had minor injuries and were treated at the scene," Judson said. The bus finally came to a stop on the carpool on-ramp to southbound 405. The bus driver told authorities that his breaks failed or had mechanical failure. Judson said that he was being "very cooperative" with the investigation. Judson said the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

A car accident involving a Sound Transit bus and an SUV left two Bellevue residents dead Monday night at an Interstate 405 Kirkland exit. Robert H. Rotta, 76, died at the scene when a Sound Transit bus, exiting northbound 405 in the carpool lane, slammed into the 2010 Ford Escape, in which he was a passenger. The accident occurred on the Northeast 128th Street overpass, according to the Washington State Patrol. Elizabeth E. Rotta, 75, who also was in the SUV, died from her injuries early Tuesday morning at an area hospital. A third passenger in the SUV, Kirkland resident Kendall L. Rotta, 51, was transported to Harborview Medical Center

Time to invest in some more ‘third places?’ The city should consider encouraging more vibrant gathering places or “third places” such as the Crossroads Bellevue shopping center. That notion is the leading vote-getter so far in a “Bellevue’s Best Ideas” online forum. The forum, launched May 1, gives residents and others a chance to share and vote on suggestions for how they would like to see the city develop over the next 20 years. Other top vote-getters so far include a suggestion that the city hold quarterly televised discussions on important issues and that downtown streets be more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. In the early stages of an effort to update the Bellevue’s bedrock document – the comprehensive plan – the city wanted to take crowdsourcing to a new level. Participants are eligible to win prizes, including gift certificates for local retailers. Ideascale, used by the White House as well as businesses and state and local governments, presents posted ideas. Visitors to the site, bellevuesbestideas.ideascale.com, can vote on whether they agree or disagree. Or they can post their own ideas. The ideas with the most “agree” votes will show up at the top. “We’re certainly making use of traditional means of engagement, including forums with the city’s boards and commissions and presentations for residents,” noted Planning and Community Development Director Chris Salomone. “In this day and age, it only makes sense to use social media to encourage participation too.” The city is giving the comprehensive plan a 10-year update, in a process expected to wind up next year with the City Council’s approval of a new document that will guide development here through 2035. The Best Ideas campaign will run through July 4. All ideas submitted will be added as public comment in the comprehensive plan, and some may be included with amendments to the plan. Complete information about the comprehensive plan update is available at bellevuewa. gov/comp-plan-update.htm.

High schools in Bellevue are making headlines once again - this time as some of the nation’s best public high schools Newsweek’s 2013 list of “America’s Best High Schools.” All five Bellevue high schools – International, Newport, Interlake, Bellevue and Sammamish – made the cut, with International School ranking 31st out of 2,000 public high schools in the nation; Newport was also in the top 100 at number 80. At the state level, four Bellevue schools made the top five statewide and all five high schools are among the top 20 statewide. The Newsweek ranking is based on six components: four-year on-time graduation rate, percent of graduates accepted to college, Advanced Placement (AP)/International Baccalaureate (IB)/Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) tests taken per student, average SAT and/or ACT scores, average AP/IB/AICE test scores, and AP courses offered per student. Year after year, national publications have consistently ranked Bellevue schools among the best public high schools in the nation, a trend many educators attribute to the following: 91 percent of all Bellevue high school graduates have completed one or more AP or IB courses; 3,500 high school students in Bellevue enrolled in more than 8,400 rigorous AP, IB and “Beyond AP” courses this year; 67 percent of Bellevue’s Class of 2012 graduates earned a passing score on at least one AP exam during high school, compared to 19 percent of graduates nationally.
"AP and college prep doesn't begin in high school," said Lance Balla, K12 English Curriculum Developer for the Bellevue School District. "It begins way before high school." He said Bellevue schools continue to rank highly because the staff and administrators in understand this concept, and have committed to a notion of rigor. "That doesn't mean hardship," Balla said. "It means holding kids to high standards while at the same time supporting them to reach those high standards." Balla said this mentality stems from the leadership of former school superintendent Mike Riley. During his 11 years with the district, Riley developed a common curriculum for the district and increased the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses by roughly 70 percent. "If you look at our middle school teams, they think of their students as future AP students," Balla said. "They're thinking about that in their lessons, they're constantly focused on that goal." Although students in Bellevue are not required to take AP classes, it's highly encouraged for every one to take part. Balla said taking away these "gates" – GPA requirements, letters of recommendations, tests – has allowed Bellevue to help students of all types perform at the highest level. "All of the teachers feel that they have the permission to be rigorous in their courses that they don't have to create a track system," Balla said.

Police volunteer earns Governor’s Service Award Judi Miller, a volunteer for the Bellevue Police Department who provided extensive support for a program to improve parking for people with disabilities, has been awarded the Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Service Award. Miller has logged more than 1,700 volunteer Judi Miller hours with the Police Department since 2007. In 2012, while doing a ride-along with her
husband, George, who was on his volunteer Parking Enforcement Patrol shift, she learned that many property owners don’t maintain proper disabled parking signage, preventing violators from being ticketed. Working with other volunteers and the city’s Traffic Police Support Officer, Miller documented the improper signage and contacted property owners to educate them about disabled parking regulations. Her efforts contributed to several hundred properties in Bellevue being brought into compliance.

as the outcome of Seattle’s May Day protest really a surprise? A week of television hype prior to May 1 focused on what previously went wrong and could go wrong again. Every Seattle news station followed up its apocalyptic previews on the day of, sending multiple teams of cameramen and reporters to the streets. Crews weaved through crowds, providing hours upon hours of live coverage. There was only one problem , in the world of protests, the march was benign. Kevin Endejan There was only some sign-waving here and some chanting over there. Television reporters remained persistent, filling dead air with words like “violence” and “mobs.” In reality, viewers were treated to dramatic live coverage of nothing. However, the TV folks finally proved if you Wag the Dog long enough, it will bite back. After hours of peaceful protests, the assault of a TV news reporter and his cameraman launched a series of arrests.

There are bad eggs in every group, but the majority were there to peacefully protest whatever cause they support. I’m not saying local TV should have ignored the event. It is news after all. But a single cameraman shooting stock footage of protesters would suffice. Quite honestly, that’s all it’s worth. Instead, multiple reporters from multiple stations integrated themselves in the crowd and gave live play-by-play of nothing. They acted as antagonists, eventually launching the violence they were there to cover. I believe in news. I work in the industry after all. But, when a news organization creates or becomes the news itself, there is a huge problem. Hopefully there was a lesson learned during this year’s events.

Drop-out prevention program deserves continued funding funding for one of our state’s most successful education programs: Navigation 101. That program is scientifically proven to reduce drop-out rates. A total of 52 percent of all middle and high schools in Washington use Navigation 101 to help kids prepare for their future and graduate. Eliminating it now will make our state’s drop out problem worse. We use Navigation 101’s curriculum and tools to help our students develop their core competencies in career and life planning, post-secondary option decision making, college admissions, the financial aid process and more. The program also provides tools for counselors, teachers and administrators to track and monitor student and school

I created an interactive and colorful game called “Remembering Food,” filled with pictures of fruits.

While it is important that scientific advancements be made, it is also important to make efforts in patient care for those who already have Alzheimer’s. Over the past few months I have been working with Alzheimer’s patients at Overlake Terrace in Redmond and have become very fond of them. I feel almost helpless that I cannot make everything better, but it means that I work harder in other areas. My first day volunteering is still a clear memory for me. I remember one resident who immediately latched onto me and kept talking to me in incoherent sentences. As the weeks progressed, I gradually became more comfortable around the residents and learned to understand them. One of my biggest fears was asking them or talking to them in a way that they would find offensive. I often had to talk very loudly and slowly, which is not always the nicest way to talk to someone. In the beginning, we were all strangers. But now, they recognize me. They may not know my name or even their own name, but when they see my face and my smile, their eyes light up and they wave. It is a connection that can only be described by experiencing it, and to have established relationships with the residents makes me feel very ap-

I have seen many kids stay in school, graduate and move on to successful futures because of Navigation 101. It is hard to understand the rationale behind eliminating funding for this program. Years of data prove that Navigation 101 helps students succeed. We know it isn’t expensive. The two year budget to keep Navigation 101 available to all school districts is just over $5 million, not a large program in a budget of over $30 billion. Nearly one in four of Washington’s students

BC gets grant to help low-income students
We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.
Bellevue College has received a $150,000 grant from College Spark Washington to support college readiness and retention for low-income students. Research shows that only one in five lowincome students is prepared for college level work compared with over half of middle and upper-income students. And even when a low-income student gets into college, he or she is seven times less likely to earn a bachelor’s degree than a more affluent peer. As one of 11 grantees in the state, Bellevue College must measure results using at least one of the four indicators of future
college success: n Increasing the number of students that take and pass Algebra by the eighth grade; n Decreasing the number of middle school students that trigger two of three early warning indicators: five or more absences per semester; course failure; suspension or expulsion. n Decreasing the number of students that require development education in college; and n Increasing the number of students that earn their first college-level credit in English or math.

the chance of that happening is very slim, especially as long as Kaitlin keeps to her prescribed medication and visits the hospital every few months. Though Michelle said Kaitlin will likely never be at the same level as her peers because of the effect the toxins had on her brain, she said her daughter is doing better than they ever expected. "The quality of life for our whole family has changed for the better," Michelle said. Kaitlin is currently enrolled in the Special Education program at Highland Middle School in Bellevue, where, for the first time, she's able to be an active participant in her class; she's even reading and doing math. But more that that, Kaitlin is finally getting to experience life in a way she never has before. This summer she'll make her second trip to Camp Korey, an overnight camp for children with life altering medical conditions – on her own two feet.

After several discussions about the severity of Kaitlin's condition – and five months on the transplant list – she underwent the procedure. "The following day, she seemed like a different girl," Michelle said. From the minute Kaitlin awoke she was feeling better – talking to her parents about things that had happened years previously, things they didn't think she'd be able to remember. A little over a year later, Kaitlin doesn’t experience any of her propionic acidemia symptoms and has a liver capable of metabolizing the amino acids her body was unable to process previously. Dr. Horslen said the only risk Kaitlin faces in the years to come is that her body could reject the organ. However, he said

New Grocery Outlet keeps it in the family Market opens in Crossroads area
BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
Greg Powell, co-owner of the newly opened Grocery Outlet in Crossroads, has been in the business since he was 16, when he got his first job bagging groceries at an Albertsons. “Grocery is fun,” said Jessi, Greg’s wife and co-owner of the location, which opened Thursday. “Retail is either in your blood, or it’s not.” On Wednesday, employees put the finishing touches on displays, assembling produce stands and pushing out the last of the product. On Saturday, a number of events will be held at the store from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The location, at 156th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street, has had many lives as an appliance store, a hair salon, a dry cleaner and formerly a karate studio. She remembers neighbors complaining of a small vagrant population in the parking lot, but their move said Jessi, “is like leaving your porch
Grocery Outlet is the largest “extreme-value” grocer in the U.S. It is the first such store in the Bellevue area. COURTESY PHOTO light on.” “So far, so good,” said Jessi of the move. “...Any time you bring something new into the community, it brings light and activity.” Grocery Outlet secures deep discounts by purchasing excess products from companies when orders fall through, a branding strategy doesn’t sell, or seasonal goods still have bulk orders left over. “A lot of times a company will try desperately to stay relevant,” explained Jessi. “It’s consumer ADD...We get the overstock, the label

They plan to donate a palette of food to Hopelink down the road, and have made a point
of attending neighborhood chamber meetings. “We’ll continue to evolve,” said Greg. “We try to set the store based on what the demographic is currently, but we will evolve and that comes with focusing on our customers.” The couple is optimistic about the venture. Demographic assessments of the neighborhood indicate that 36,000 cars drive both roads daily and the store will join what is already a commerce center with Crossroads Mall across the way. “I have relationships at the old store [with customers] and I know their life story...It’s more grassroots than anything,” said Jessi. “I think it will be interesting to see how Bellevue interprets our model, if they embrace it. I think they will. We’re not a warehouse. It’s literally a mom and pop shop. It’s a locally owned grocery store.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290 ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

Around Town What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
BSD, teachers reach tentative agreement Members of the Bellevue Education Association and Bellevue School District negotiations teams have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract.

Comments sought on cuts to bus service The King County Council’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee will hold a special meeting Tuesday, May 14 to take public testimony about potential Metro Transit service cuts. Metro faces a $75 million annual shortfall and will have to cut service by up to 600,000 hours, or 17 percent, beginning
in fall 2014 unless new funding becomes available. Roughly two-thirds of Metro bus routes might be eliminated, reduced or revised. Testimony will begin at 4 p.m. with an open house at 3:30. The meeting will be at Union Station, 401 S Jackson St, Seattle.

Burdick holds a doctorate in music and has been helping new singers find their voices since 1992. The $30 workshop is for people age 13 and over. For more information or to register, call 425-644-1111.

PSE power plant back in operation One of the Pacific Northwest’s oldest power plants, the historic Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project, is once again producing electricity for local homes and businesses following a three-year, top-tobottom overhaul.
Puget Sound Energy’s 102-year-old Plant 2 powerhouse at Snoqualmie Falls was idled in June 2010. Located about a quarter mile downstream from the falls, the plant underwent near-total reconstruction under a new, 40-year federal operating license. The energy site’s Plant 1 powerhouse – just upstream from the falls in a bedrock cavity almost 270 feet underground – also is getting a comprehensive makeover. Built in 1898-99, the elder powerhouse is scheduled to resume electric generation in July.
Bellevue Farmer’s Market celebrates 10 years Next week, the Bellevue Farmer’s Market will kick-off it’s 10th season in the parking lot of Bellevue Presbyterian Church. Started by Market Director Lori Taylor in 2004, the idea came about after Taylor’s pastor, Scott Dudley, asked the church community to think about ways to serve Bellevue. Committed to bringing fresh farm products direct from the hands that grew it to the Bellevue community, the Bellevue Farmer’s Market is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) supporting small family farms. Opening Day of the market will take place next Thursday, May 16, and will feature live music, alpacas, hourly drawings for market products, face painting for kids, buckets of spring flowers and tables of fresh produce. Attendees will also have the chance to win a glassybaby set (Roots, Eggplant and Pumpkin), as well as speak to representatives from the KidsQuest Museum and Eastside Heritage Center.

Eastside Story
What’s happening in nearby cities Redmond: A pair of buildings were saved from destruction when fire sprinklers activated to control two separate fires until the fire department arrived. An early morning fire in an occupied commercial building, located in King County Fire District 34 just east of Redmond, was contained by the activation of a single, fire sprinkler head. Redmond firefighters were dispatched at 1:31 a.m. for a fire alarm activation in a building at the Redmond Ridge Business Park in the 22900 block of Northeast Alder Crest Drive. Issaquah: A homeowner shot and wounded an intruder just before 1 p.m. Friday, May 3. The homeowner, a 56-year-old Issaquah man, shot the suspect, a man in his mid-20s, after the suspect broke into a home in the 18500 block of Northwest Montreux Drive. A delivery truck driver observed the scuffle, heard the shot and made the initial 911 call at about 1:05 p.m. The suspect was transported to Harborview Medical Center. The homeowner was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Snoqualmie: After police found and demolished two transient camps, Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley says the time is right for the city to bring its own books up to a Valleywide standard. With neighboring North Bend banning outdoor camping in public places in January, the Snoqualmie City Council is considering a similar ordinance this month. The new rule, slated for action May 13, bans camping in public parks, trails and open spaces. Outdoor camping at events such as Relay for Life would be allowed by special permit. Kirkland: After more than a month of litigation, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a motion for a temporary restraining order for the removal of rails at the Cross Kirkland Corridor. The city of Kirkland planned on removing the rails along the 5.75 mile corridor in April to be replaced by gravel for an interim trail. But plans came to a halt when the city was met with a lawsuit from a Ballard railroad company.
Readers unite: book group extravaganza
L
et’s face it: we’re all geeks about something. When my husband and I got married he couldn’t understand how I could spend so much time in bookstores when I worked in a library. My answer was simple. “They’re filled with books.” Later, I couldn’t understand why he would want to spend his days off in hardware stores when he worked on construction sites all week. He looked right at me, smirked, and answered. “They’re filled with tools.” I had no answer. We are drawn to our hobbies for one Darcy Brixey reason or another, but talking about our hobbies with other enthusiasts is what makes them worthwhile and enjoyable. My husband is less likely to engage in conversations about literary merit, narrative style or yarn weight, but displays a keen and almost scientific understanding of lumber grades or Supercross events. I’ve been a reader all my life and I’ve learned that much of the joy of reading comes from talking about the books we
read. That’s why we join book groups. If you are in a book group, or would like to join one, please come to the King County Library System’s Book Group Extravaganza on May 18 from 9 a.m. to noon at the KCLS Service Center at 960 Newport Way NW in Issaquah. There will be food, a book exchange, advanced reader copies and swag bags on a first come, first served basis. Molly Wizenberg, author of A Homemade Life and the popular blog Orangette, will be the keynote speaker. Her book will be available for sale by University Bookstore. This event is free and no registration is required. You don’t need to be in a book group to attend. Bring a friend or your book group members and some gently used books for the exchange. Be ready for conversation on favorite books and authors with other like minded readers. Don’t forget to bring an extra bag. You’ll probably need one. Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.
Woodridge Elementary students win Global Reading Challenge Students from Bellevue's Woodridge Elementary School have won the King County Library System 2012-2013 Global Reading Challenge. The team, "Roaring Readers," defeated students from schools in the Lake Washington, Auburn and Tukwila school districts. In all, more than 200 students from 56 schools participated in the challenge. The competition concluded March 22. The challenge is a cooperative effort between King County Library System and local public school districts. The
Battle of the Books style program that allows fourth and fifth graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. Each year, King County Library System Children's Librarians select 10 titles in a wide range of reading levels especially suited to the interests of young readers. The goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children's literature. Each team
must include some students with lowerlevel reading skills. Challenge questions are based on specific and factual information within the books. All challenges are conducted by King County Library System staff. Initially, a challenge is held at the individual school level. The top team from each school proceeds on to their School District Challenge, with that winner moving on to the Regional Challenges. Regional winners compete in the Grand Challenge.
Join QFC at Komen Puget Sound for the Cure This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. Great strides have been made in the fight against breast cancer during those 20 years, but the fight is not over. Advances in research, detection and treatment have saved thousands of lives and Komen has in some way touched every major breast cancer advance in the last 30-plus years. There is still more to be done and QFC is committed to helping continue the important work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. The Komen organization is QFC’s charity of the month for May. On June 2nd, QFC will also be the presenting sponsor of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. This great event brings together thousands of runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-filled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health
education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help. This support is critically important because despite the many advances that have taken place, over 200,000 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. One of every eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 95% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. occur in women over 40. However, the good news is that the 5-year survival rate for women who have had their breast cancer diagnosed before it spread beyond the breast is 99%. This is up from 74% in 1982. 25% of the funds that are raised through local events like the Puget Sound event are used to fund a wide range of research. There are over 750 ongoing projects in the U.S. and many other countries. The research focuses on using current knowledge to discover new ways to reduce risk, identify cancer cells at earlier and earlier
stages when treatment is most effective, develop new treatments and ultimately to prevent breast cancer altogether. Research funding has been provided to a wide variety of college graduates, doctoral studies graduates and established scientists and doctors, including to three Nobel Prize winners. Research applications are rigorously peer reviewed by clinical and scientific experts and trained advocates. If you would like to join QFC in supporting the valuable work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, one way would be to join us and thousands of others at the Race for the Cure on June 2, 2013, at
Seattle Center. Information on signing up can be found online at komenpugetsound.org. A second way to support the organization is to donate at our checkstands. We have donation scan cards in $1, $5, and $10 amounts and also change jars for your spare change. We thank our generous customers for their great support and joining with us to support a truly worthy organization.

Bellevue Transportation Department earns 3 national awards
Now accepting new patients at our new location!
108th Avenue Southeast Improvements: The project won an APWA Public Works Project of the Year award in the category of transportation – less than $5 million. A team of 13 staff members from the Transportation, Utilities and Parks departments implemented the project, in conjunction with a contractor. The one-mile long route in south Bellevue, resulted in a safer route to and from Enatai Elementary School, with a new sidewalk, multi-use trail and bike lanes, enhanced lighting and a raised crosswalk. West Lake Sammamish Parkway Slide Repair: This effort won an APWA Public Works Project of the Year award in the category of Disaster or Emergency Construction Repair – less than $5 million. After a slide in January
2012 caused significant damage to private property and closed a key roadway, an 11-member, cross-departmental project team led a recovery effort to make emergency repairs. Working closely with contractors, the city reopened the Parkway on April 10, and property owners were pleased with the result. Neighborhood Traffic Safety program: The program won an Exceptional Performance Award for Journalism. The award recognizes presentation of a story about a public works issue or event that projects a positive image of an agency in the course of its work.

Local filmmaker explores global mental health
BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
When Patricia first met Jeff on the streets of Bellevue, he’d been homeless and living undiagnosed with severe mental illness for nearly 10 years. Though he had family in the area, they wanted nothing to do with him, Jeff somberly recounts for the camera. “We live in the richest city in Washington state. If there had been a stray dog on the street, we wouldn’t have left it,” says Patricia. And so despite the reluctance of her grown daughter and family, she took him in. Jeff and Patricia’s is one of several stories explored in “Hidden Pictures,” a documentary, six-years in the making, about mental health care systems the world over. Many of the narratives hit close to home. The film debuted Sunday at Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF) and follows families in India, China, South Africa, France and Bellevue’s own backyard. It’s not the first time local director and filmmaker Delaney Ruston, has taken on the topic of mental health. Her first film, “Unlisted,” tells the story of her estranged schizophrenic father. Growing up she was so ashamed of her dad’s fits of psychosis,
that she unlisted her phone number and hid from him for a decade, while raising a family and beginning a career in medicine. But when Ruston’s son began asking about his grandfather, she decided to revisit that part of her life, to satiate his curiosity, and help mend her own relationship. The film left Ruston with many unanswered questions about the role of family in the treatment and management of mental illness. “I think I’m still baffled why we’re not hearing more about the complete lack of attention to mental illness in many parts of the world,” says Ruston. “I’m hoping when we look back in history, we’ll see now is the time that we started galvanizing. We have a global obligation to change the paradigm.” According to the World Health Organization, 450 million people live worldwide with mental illness, and yet most healthcare systems fall dramatically short in dealing with the problem. The U.S. devotes only one to two percent of its healthcare budget to the cause; in developing countries 80 percent of those believed to live with mental illness, go without treatment. “To me really, documentaries aren’t the answer. They’re just a starting point,” says Ruston. “My goal is to start the discussion.” Ruston began making films 15 years
ago. A practicing physician, the camera became a tool not only for her own therapy and understanding, but also to teach. In medical school, Ruston remembers feeling a disconnect between her studies and the patient experience, which she deemed critical to nurturing empathy. There is a silver lining. Ruston points to the empathy of strangers like Patricia. “Once people learn more, [when they] hear stories,” explains Ruston, “then their hearts open up, and that is where the future can change.” “Hidden Pictures” follows the lives of five individuals. In China, Ruston meets Jeff, diagnosed – she suspects incorrectly – with schizophrenia after graduating from one of Beijing’s top universities. Jeff has been admitted and living in a mental institution for eight years and though he seems highfunctioning, his family’s refusal to let him out keeps him effectively imprisoned. In India, a mother keeps her daughter’s diagnosis of schizophrenia a secret. Resources are scarce even among the 16.31 million people of Delhi, and the burden of caring for a grown daughter, takes a visible toll. “I often say mental illness tears families apart, not because of the illness itself,” observes Ruston, “but because whether you’re
Ruston a filmmaker and physician, made her first film about her father, diagnosed with Schizophrenia. COURTESY PHOTO in the U.S. or abroad, getting services can be so difficult.” Her own memories are of a father who refused to take his medicine and a family who, in many ways, chose to stay at a distance. Ruston is now raising her own young children, ages 11 and 14 and hopes the silence about mental illness will end there. “Data now shows the burden that these illnesses have on the human condition... So many people are affected, whether it be childhood disabilities, dementia or depression. To completely ignore it is no longer an option.”

Bellevue College moves radio tower Bellevue College has moved the broadcast tower of 91.3 KBCS, the campus radio station, to Cougar Mountain in Issaquah. The project, which has been in the works for several years, expands the coverage of the station, “This is incredibly transformational for our station,” BC President David L. Rule said. “Our geographic reach is now much, much larger. This is a big win for fans of public radio, because we provide unique programming that you just can’t get anywhere else, and we think a lot of folks out there will be delighted to have more choice on the radio.”
The tower moves expands coverage in several directions: south into Tacoma and areas of Pierce County; west into parts of Kitsap County, including Silverdale and Bremerton; and east to North Bend and communities in the eastern portion of King County. Reception has also improved for listeners in its original broadcast area of the Eastside and Seattle. The tower project was conceived when a station in Tacoma, 91.7 KXOT, was put up for sale, creating potential space in the FM spectrum for KBCS (which broadcasts at a similar frequency) to expand.

Groenhout leads Saints to title, Knights send three
Interlake junior Aleana Groenhout won the 2A/3A KingCo championship at Willows Run earlier this week, also earning a spot to the district tournament. COURTESY PHOTO, Doug Calvert
Since her freshman season at Interlake, Aleana Groenhout has been in the spotlight on the golf course. An undeniable talent even as a 14-yearold, Groenhout has been one of the conference’s top golfers throughout her prep career. On Monday, she took another step. Groenhout, already a two-time state qualifier, ran away with the 2A/3A KingCo title at the Eagle’s Talon course at Willows Run Golf Course, besting the field by 11 strokes and leading the Saints to the team scoring championship in the process. She said the growth of her game from a psychological and emotional perspective was a major key to her success against KingCo’s best. “I used to think it was just hitting consistent shots,” she said. “But to go low, you have to be able to work with bad shots.” Groenhout finished with a 36-37-73 to beat out Lake Washington’s Anna Jessen and Mount Si freshman Catlin Maralack and was one of four Interlake players to punch a ticket to the district tournament at Riverbend May 13. “All season, she has shown glimpses of the ability to do that,” Calvert said of Groenhout’s dominating performance. “She stayed relaxed and calm, she was smiling and having a good time.”
Freshman Delaney Douglas was fourth with a score of 88, while Tenessee Hardesty, a senior, shot 96 to make the cut along with Danielle Niemann. Calvert said while Groenhout certainly paced the group, the Saints would not have been in the mix for the team scoring without the personal bests from her supporting cast. “It’s really awesome seeing them improve,” Groenhout said of her teammates. “Having us all shoot personal bests and win, that is something I dream about.” Calvert also said his team’s home-course advantage at Bellevue’s Tam O’Shanter, a course and neighborhood where many future Saints grow up and hone their skills with the staff there, has been a major part of the success of the girls and boys programs. Bellevue’s Lauren Patrick was eighth to earn a spot at districts, and teammates Tiffany Huang, Katie Levy, Rachel Harmeyer, Priyanka Mehta and Alexis Choi also made the cut for the Wolverines and will head to Riverbend to try and earn a spot among the state’s best. Sammamish’s Myra Maza qualified for the 2A district tournament with her 15th place finish at the conference meet and was SEE GOLF, 16

Chen takes singles title for Newport Heading into the final tournament of the year, Angela Chen is still perfect. The Newport senior kept her unbeaten record in tact and also continued the utterly dominant streak of winning each set she has played this year, sweeping her way through the 4A KingCo bracket to capture the conference title. Chen’s regular season prowess earned her a bye into the second round before she dispatched her first round opponent 6-2, 6-0. The quarterfinal and semi-final matches were not much different, as Chen won both in straight sets 6-0, 6-0, and captured the championship with a 6-1, 6-4 victory. The 4A state tournament is May 24 and 25 in Richland at Columbia Basin Racquet Club and Richland High School.

Chien came back to shoot 85 on day two, good enough to earn a sixth place finish, while Monica and Jessica Kent shot 84 and 88 respectively. Monica barely missed the cut for state in 2012, while Jessica left the course with uncertainty about making her fourth and final trip despite ending the tournament with a 10-stroke cushion. “I really wanted to make the cut after last year,” Monica said. “I’m really excited.” The first day’s scoring went to de-

The 4A state girls golf tournament is in two weeks at Club Green Meadows in Vancouver. The tournament is a two-day affair, with the field cut after day one and final scores from the two rounds added together.

When Newport senior Jessica Kent came off the course Tuesday after her round in the 4A District 2 golf tournament, she wore a look of uncertainty. Minutes later, as the 2013 state qualifiers were announced, the apprehension was replaced with joy. Kent was one of the three Newport players to earn a spot at the state tournament in Vancouver on May 13, finishing one spot behind younger sister Monica in ninth place. “After a rough day, I’m just happy I made it,” the elder Kent sister said. “I’m really excited.” The Knights were dealt an unexpected blow before play began on Monday, when they learned sophomore Marianne Li, one of the conference’s top talents and a threat to win a state championship, would not be able to compete due to an injury. Coach Todd O’Neill said while it was difficult to take the course without their steadying force in Li, the remaining group of Isabel Chien, Maddie Dietz, Krystal Liang and Lauren Nakamichi, along with the Kent sisters, kept the team focused and confident. “It was really tough,” O’Neill said. “We battled as best we could and we had a strong team even without Marianne.” That strength was more than

Jazz concerts at BHS festival
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Interlake High School’s Jazz ensemble won the national title for their high school category at the Reno Jazz Festival, which took place April 25-27. Directed by David Kim, the band has been attending the festival for the past 10 years, but this year marks the first time they have ever taken the top spot in their category. In its 51st year, the Reno Jazz Festival brings together the top school bands from around the country to compete; it is considered one of the biggest and best festivals for young musicians in the world. Other high schools from the Seattle area included Roosevelt and Garfield. As the top band in the Division 1B Category, the 21 members of Interlake’s jazz band also had the opportunity to take part in the Festival Showcase and Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, where they performed with the nine additional winning bands. “We got to play on the big stage in front of thousands of people,” said student Zack Sweetser, who plays piano and keyboard. “Truly a night to remember.” The band played a jazz standard called “I Thought About You” and a funk chart called “Talk is Cheep” as part of the showcase. Kim said they chose the first piece to perform because

Christina Berry Chistina Anne Berry (Christina GlennArabian) Born in Fowler, CA. on August 17, 1918, to Isaac and Sarah Glenn. She was the second of seven children. She passed in Bellevue, WA on March 10, 2013. Chris proved our human-will can overcome most any obstacle. Born with a serious spinal deformity, a hunchback, she was thought to be handicapped. But she never considered herself handicapped, and proved time and again to be more vigorous and alive than many people with perfect, straight backs. Her mother forbid her to marry. But Chris rented a mailbox so she could receive love-letters from her future husband, a young man from Maine, Roland Edward Berry. She married and moved from Fresno to chilly Boston. They raised two sons, James and Charles, settling in Escanaba, Michigan. Dr. Berry was a pathologist and ran the laboratory at St. Francis Hospital. Chris was an avid reader, a lifetime learner of languages, politics, music and history. Chris was an active volunteer with the Community Concert Association, the Housing Commission and various civic organizations, and enjoyed traveling, music and the fine arts. Chris moved to Bellevue, Washington in 2000. Those who knew her during the past twelve years will remember her relentless long fingers tending her garden. No weed or single blade of grass survived more than a few days in her garden. She also volunteered at the Bellevue Senior Center, taking lunch tickets and running the gift-wrap table at Christmas. In pain almost every day of her life, she rarely complained about it. Most of her many friends and acquaintances never knew her daily suffering, because she always greeted them with a warm smile, cheerfulness and optimism. She is survived by her son Charles, her grandchildren, Sara of New Hampshire, Michael of New Jersey and Russell of Washington, and her dear friend Pat Berry, and her sisters Blossom, Pearl and Donna.
