Microsoft wins top national awards for volunteering and community impact

Bellevue student writes fantasy book for kids

Microsoft has been honored with two Summit awards for community impact and volunteer engagement from United Way Worldwide, the country’s largest privately funded nonprofit. Microsoft not only reached the $1 billion mark in employee giving and corporate matching funds in 2012, but also employees volunteered 2 million hours since the launch of the company’s volunteer matching program. “Microsoft is not just a world leader in technology solutions, but also in citizenship, volunteering and creating opportunities for youth,” said Brian Gallagher, United Way Worldwide president and CEO. “Microsoft and United Way are working together to help more young people graduate on time with the skills they need to be successful in life.” In 2012, Microsoft and its employees celebrated a major milestone: $1 billion in employee giving and matching funds to more than 31,000 nonprofit organizations around the world since the giving program began in 1983. United Way is the number one recipient of employee giving and matching funds. Last year, the company donated more than $900 million in cash and software to more than 62,000 nonprofits worldwide. Microsoft also provides a $17/hour match for employee volunteer hours (450,000 hours logged in 2012 with over $7M in matching funds), generating more than $34 million in matching funds to U.S. nonprofits since the program’s inception.

Not many people can say that by the time they were 8-years-old, they were a published author. Bellevue resident Griffin Hehmeyer can. A student at The Little School, Griffin started working on his first book – with the help of family and friends – seven months ago. Today, his book "The Marakon Ways," has already sold 67 copies worldwide. The first installment in a planned six-books series called "The Adventures of Wolf Land," "The Marakon Ways" is a fantasy novel for children. The book, which follows main characters Daniel and Lily as they explore the unknown world of Wolf Land, was published by Griffin and his family through Lulu.com. Griffin said he was inspired to write a book after creating a game with friends in which he played the role of the King of the Wolves. "The next year, I decided to write about it," Griffin said. "I just thought, that would be a pretty good story." The book, which is available now, also features original illustrations from his classmates. Griffin's mother, Jaime Teevan, said she first learned about Griffin's book when he was three months in to writing it. At the time, Griffin's

teacher, Matt Weiner, sent Teevan a large document he had been working on with

Griffin. Weiner, decided to get involved because he saw how passionate Griffin was about the project. “My thinking was, what a great opportunity for him to be passionate about literacy and writing and wanting to be an author,” Weiner said. He said he wanted to encourage Griffin; he didn’t want him to feel defeated. PASSPORT PHOTOS •

"I was reticent to read it because it's a lot of text written by an 8-year-old," Teevan said. She said she decided to read it because it was her son's story. "It was really fun to read it and see that it was such an engrossing book," Teevan said. "I thought that was a

King County Metro has identified 65 bus routes for possible elimination and an additional 86 with potential service reductions, due to a funding shortage. Twenty-three of those affected route through Bellevue. On Tuesday, an estimated 400 people turned out for a hearing at Seattle’s Union Station to testify about the impact of the 17 percent cuts, expected for 2014. A drop in sales tax revenue during the recession, is partly to blame for the budget problem. And with reserve funds drying up at the end of the year, many attendees asked for a more permanent solution to the $75 million annual budget gap. The cuts come on the heels of Bellevue and the county’s efforts to build public transit. See bus cuts, 2

Walk to give hope, help to those with mental illness By Celina Kareiva

Bellevue Reporter

Travis Miner had his first manic episode his senior year of high school. He remembers his mind racing faster and faster and a surge of grandiose thoughts. “I had trouble calming down and wound up in the hospital,” says Miner, who was later diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a condition that manifests itself in the form of different mood disorder symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions and sometimes depression. It was the first of two hospitalizations that summer. “After that manic episode I had to rebuild my life. I didn't feel like myself and I couldn't do many of the things I used to.” But Miner has since learned to manage his diagnosis and is now a presenter for a local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). He will be one of thousands expected to participate in this year's ninth annual NAMI Walk, to be held Saturday, May 18 at Marina Park in Kirkland. The stigma shrouding mental illness, keeps many in the closet about their diagnosis, says NAMI

Travis Miner first started participating in NAMI Walk in 2007. COURTESY PHOTO Washington State Walk Manager, Gazala Uradnik, so an event like this one is twofold: to raise funds for local chapters, and to provoke dialogue about a vastly neglected issue. “It felt good to be a part of it,” says Miner, who first walked in 2007, back when the event was still being held in Seattle. “To be with other people who might have mental illness...to see that community, it's empowering. It gives you hope, and it makes you feel accepted.” Uradnik, who raises money for area non-profits, can remember the first year she participated, walking a course lined with statistics –1 in 4 adults diagnosed nationally, 40 million individuals afflicted by anxiety disorders alone and 1 in 10 children with a serious mental or emotional

disorder. Mental illness has garnered more attention in recent months with a string of headlined tragedies, sometimes baseless allegations by the public and media, and the popularity of such movies as “Silver Linings Playbook.” But Christine Lindquist, chair of this year's walk and executive director of the greater Seattle chapter of NAMI, says there is still much work to be done. Dialogue often lacks the personal narratives needed to shatter stigma. NAMI, which has 23 affiliates throughout the state, offers support groups and classes both for those living with mental illness and their friends and family. Miner will transfer to Bastyr University in the fall, where he hopes to study health psychology, one day applying that education and his own experiences to a career as a counselor. He credits services like NAMI with helping him to rebuild his life after that initial hospitalization and diagnosis. “The most amazing stories are the stories of recovery,” says Lindquist. If you would like to walk or donate to NAMI, visit nami-eastdide.org or namiwa.org for chapter information.

Police to take on 'texters' and 'talkers' Area law-enforcement agencies will add to their "Click It or Ticket" campaign by targeting drivers who are texting or talking on their cell phones. The enforcement campaign will run between May 20 and June 2. Agencies involved will include the Bellevue Police Department along with the Washington State Patrol and numerous other area police departments.

real treat.” Griffin said he knew from the moment he started crafting the story he wanted it to be a series. What’s even more unusual about this project is that Griffin never wrote a complete rough draft. Rather, he dictated the story to several staff members at The Little School, who typed it out. Teevan said Griffin has a very strong vision of what he wants this series to be. She said it has been useful for him to work with his classmates and share that vision. “That’s something else I’ve really liked about this,” Teevan said. “It’s been a lot of skills for Griffin. You think about it as writing, but it’s really been a lot more than that.” Griffin said the book’s title is derived from the ancient martial arts that Daniel and Lily use to battle the bad guys – Arclos and his five evil sons – throughout the book. He said the second book in the series, which he has already begun working on, will build on these themes. Griffin said his favorite part about writing the book was being able to hold the finished product. He also likes that people are buying the book and reading it. Teevan said a lot of her friends have bought the book with the intention of sharing it with their children, and encouraging them to write their own. Teevan said the Little School has already hosted a book release and signing party at the school’s library and they hope to do more. Griffin admits the editing process was a bit of a challenge. He said his teachers would sometimes insert funny phrases into the draft to make sure Griffin was paying attention. But what’s been the biggest challenge yet? Griffin didn’t know how to sign his last name until having to do so for the signings. “H-E-H-M-E-Y-E-R,” Griffin said. Another lesson learned.

Drivers on the SR 520 bridge will get a chance to plead their cases before a judge if they feel they got unfairly penalized for not paying a toll on time – and they can have the penalty thrown out if the judge buys their argument, under a bill by Rep. Cyrus Habib that was signed into law by Gov. Inslee today. Habib, D-Kirkland, represents the north portion of Bellevue. Currently, judges in the state’s special “toll court” don’t have the authority to reduce or waive penalties assessed for late payment of tolls on the bridge, regardless of circumstances. House Bill 1941 gives the judges the leeway to do that after hearing from the penalized driver.

Editorial

Legislature still has key issues to solve

he Legislature began its special session on May 13 after its regular session ended on April 28 after 105 days. We hope the two-week break will help lawmakers focus on the key issues left undone. The first, of course, it to agree on a new, two-year budget. It’s obviously daunting given that the state faces a $1.2 billion deficit over the next two years and that doesn’t include a court-mandated boost in money for education. The tab for that alone is around $1 billion. The Legislature also needs to approve a transportation package to build lanes and roads to try to keep pace with our growing population – and congestion. Then there’s the need for more money to repair the roads and bridges we already have. Potholes on some of our freeways are bad enough to rattle teeth. The state operating budget will be the toughest issue. House Democrats have proposed extending some taxes and closing some loopholes. The Senate, a coalition of two Democrats and the Republicans, is balking at adding any new revenue. While no one likes taxes – new or old – it’s unrealistic to expect that the needed billions of dollars can be found by whacking programs and services. One more important issue for lawmakers to remember is the poor. As a rule, they don’t have high-priced lobbyists, but their needs in many cases truly are life-threatening. Cutting those budgets can have deadly consequences.

Home, sweet home There was an interesting story about Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez in The New York Times on Tuesday. Like many around the country, the writer wondered why the highest-paid pitcher in baseball would stay in Seattle when better teams in bigger cities wanted him. The answer is simple to people who live around here: it’s because it’s here. Hernandez and his family like living in Bellevue, playing in its parks and being comfortable in its lifestyle. Home, apparently, really is where the heart is. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

In NBA struggle, bitter taste returns

s the struggle over the Sacramento Kings continued Wednesday, sports fans around Seattle had to be asking themselves one question. What the hell did we ever do to you, NBA? The league’s board of governors was set to vote on possible relocation of the franchise to Seattle and its purchase by a group of investors led by would-be hometown heroes Chris Hansen, Steve Ballmer and the Nordstrom brothers, among others. Reports leading up to the meetings have made either of those seem increasingly unlikely, meaning our city’s wait for the return of the NBA will likely extend years, rather than months, and we will receive no formal assurance of any return Josh Suman at all. We will get nothing, and like it. That fact, as it has since the team packed up and moved to Oklahoma City, stings. Since the Hansen-led group emerged and continued to cultivate its plan to bring the NBA back to Seattle, the emotion of the choice has been frustration. In many ways, when the board of governors votes to keep the team in Sacramento, the process leading up to it will have just peeled back old wounds of our hoops-starved city. Fans from the two cities and even media have more frequently taken the low-road at each turn, both impassioned by the idea of losing or regaining something they truly

value and believe they deserve (entitlement rarely brings out anyone’s best side). Seattleites have been reduced to the “our city is better than your city” argument, or left circling like vultures over Milwaukee, Charlotte and any other NBA city with a shaky ledger. Even Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, whom Sonics fans remember from his time as a sinewy guard with Western Conference rival Phoenix, has been put in the position of defending with offense, questioning the history of fan support for our departed team and reminding us of how we ended up in this position. By the time the Supersonics were stolen, faded into a public’s indifference or given away by a greedy coffee miser – depending on who you ask – one indisputable truth is that most in Seattle had become indifferent to the on-court product. The Supersonics brand, at that time the longest tenured in the city among professional sports franchises and the only one with a championship, was still strong among the loyal and followers of the league. That wasn’t nearly enough to save them the first time or bring them back in the years since, even as Hansen’s group tried to play the same game as Clay Bennett did with our green and gold. All we can do now is hope sometime soon, something changes. Josh Suman: 425-453-5045; jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

Memories of books – and the authors

hen I showed up at Elliott Bay Books for a reading and signing one evening nearly 10 years ago, I knew a little of Pico Iyer through two of his books, “Cuba and the Night” and “The Lady and the Monk.” I admired his storytelling, his willingness to reveal his imperfections, and descriptions that locked me into the settings of each locale he visited. I remember our conAnn Oxrieder versation as I handed Iyer a copy of his latest creation to autograph. “Of your earlier books, ‘The Lady and the Monk’ is my favorite,” I said. “In fact I loved it.” I read it in the year 2000 while flying to Tokyo with two work companions. I was looking for hints of the flavor of Japan, not a guide book. I wanted to know more about Japanese culture. Iyer did not disappoint. As the title suggests, the book intertwines a theme

LETTERS

Detroit shows the way I hope members of Congress and the White House read the papers and take note of Detroit. That city has its own D.I.Y. Dept., not run by the city. The lessons are the government cannot solve all your problems, as many in

common in Japanese literature – the attraction between the courtesan and the monk. While living in Kyoto, Iyer tests out life in various Buddhist monasteries. At the same time he meets a woman in a temple there who draws him into her life and becomes his cultural interpreter. She has a husband and two young children. Would he opt for a future that involved one of these attractions, try to unite them like some Zen monks had apparently done with success, or reject them altogether? In the end, Iyer did not feel a strong enough pull to stick with monastic life. He continued writing and traveling. The “lady” in the book resolved her conflicts over whether and how she could expand the boundaries of her world, which were barely greater than the walls of her home and the expectations of her mother and disengaged husband.

the government espouse. Detroit is broke and cannot provide many public services. But individuals are taking responsibility for improving the city and not letting it deteriorate any further. They are volunteering to mow the parks with their own mowers, board up vacant houses to keep criminals out, and many other support type services. They are proud of their city and determined to bring it

back to life. Bigger government is not the answer. I am not advocating the public should take on basic governmental services, but it goes to show, when the government doesn’t take care of you, the public can many times do a better job, and they are not wasting tax payer dollars. I say “Go Detroit”, show us your stuff.

Bellevue bounced

Bellevue lost two of its final three games and came up just short of a spot in the 3A state baseball tournament after a 13-2 loss to Seattle Prep Tuesday in the district 2 crossover game. The Wolverines used another stellar performance on the mound from Nolan Watson to advance past Juanita 1-0 in its first game. Watson worked a complete-game shutout, making a first inning RBI from battery mate Reid Hartmann stand up to send his team to the tournament title game. Hartmann came to the plate with Brady Carlson on base and knocked a two-strike pitch down the right field line for the only run of the game. A pair of late runs made things interesting in a 3-2 loss to Mount Si, but Bellevue was unable to ever take the lead in the KingCo title game and was sent to a loser-out game with Mercer Island. Coach Pete Wilkinson’s squad rebounded to win that one 4-1, but was unable to gain any traction against Seattle Prep in what would be the season finale.

RACE FOR THE CURE

KOMENPUGETSOUND.ORG

KOMEN PUGET SOUND

wenty years ago, gas was at $1.00 a gallon, a movie titled “Sleepless in Seattle” just premiered and a young mother named CJ Taylor-Day brought together a small group of friends and volunteers to establish the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Losing her mother to breast cancer at age 17, CJ was passionately committed to ensuring “no child should ever grow up without a mother because of breast cancer.” Since that beginning, Komen Puget Sound has grown to rank fifth out of 120 Komen affiliates nationally. As a result of this growth, the affiliate has been able to invest over $7 million into

medical research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. But the majority of the affiliate’s grants, over $19 million, have been invested right here in our community to fund breast health education, screening and treatment support. Komen Puget Sound continues to be the largest private provider of free mammogram support to low income and uninsured women. The Komen Patient Assistance Fund has provided thousands of breast cancer patients in our community with financial support for life’s basic needs, allowing them to continue their lifesaving treatments. Women like Kate B. from

Renton, Washington said: “I have been incredibly anxious because my treatments for breast cancer have meant missing work. I was SO thankful for the money I received from the patient assistance fund because it allowed us to catch up with my mortgage payments. Without the Komen fund, we would have faced the stress of possible foreclosure. I want to say thank you very much for your help.” The fight against breast cancer has come a long way in the last 20 years. Komen Puget Sound will continue this fight until Komen’s promise of a world without breast cancer becomes a reality.

FIRST A

RACE FOR THE CURE

s volunteers Tath Hossfeld and Jan Slawson wrapped up preparations for the very first Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure in 1994, the only thing left to wonder was “will it rain”? “It was very nerve wracking because it rained the day before and throughout the night,” says Jan. “It was a new race, and I didn’t know how committed people would be.” Tath agrees: “I was so worried that rain would keep people away from our Race. But boy, was I wrong!” More than 3,000 women showed up in pouring rain for the first Race, more women that ever ran in a Seattle Race before. “Seeing all those people united together around breast cancer, this huge sea of pink, was so powerful! It made me cry,” says Tath. Jan was not only at the first Race for the Cure, but she also was responsible for organizing the whole race, as the Race Chair. “I attended my

first Komen Puget Sound meeting, and they asked who would like to chair the first Race for the Cure. I just raised my hand,” says Jan. “I was a runner back then, and I was really drawn to the idea of a race to benefit an important cause like breast cancer.”

“There is an atmosphere of joy and hope at the Race that is infectious,” says Jan. “When you are there, you find yourself among a happy community. The Seattle Center is this beautiful Tath chaired the first breast cancer Survivor’s park-like setting where you can feel you are Celebration at the Race. “It was so powerful away from everything. There is entertainment, to see so many breast cancer survivors in one room, nothing like that had ever been organized food, and sponsors giving things to everyone. People are smiling and walking around with in Seattle,” says Tath. “We were one large support group for each other. During the lunch, filled goodie bags. It is just a great day of fun! I’ve always enjoyed myself.” we asked every survivor to stand up. Then we asked first year survivors to sit back down. Then “One day, we will find a cure for breast cancer,” five year survivors were asked to sit down, then says Tath. “When that day comes, the very next 10 year survivors, and so on until there was thing a woman will hear after a breast cancer just one woman standing. When we asked her diagnosis is: ‘It’s OK, we now have a cure.’ I how long she has been a survivor, she told us 35 really do believe this is possible, because I have years. The whole room went crazy with applause seen how far we have come in the last 20 years.”

The goal of the Sista’s team is to promote Race participation by African American women and families and to increase awareness of the high breast cancer mortality rate among African American women. “We need to find cures for cancer because no one should have to suffer the loss of a mom, or a sister or daughter,” says Michelle. “This is why I have chosen to join the Sista’s Race for the Cure team and support Komen Puget Sound’s Race for the Cure.” The Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure will provide an opportunity to celebrate survivors and remember those who have lost their battle to breast cancer.

It’s OK to talk about By Linda Ball Reporter newspapers

My favorite movie of all time is still the 1983 Best Picture winner, "Terms of Endearment," starring Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger, Jeff Daniels, Danny DeVito and John Lithgow. The story centers on MacLaine's character, Aurora Greenway, a widow, and her relationship with her daughter, Emma, played by Winger. Nicholson's character, Garrett Breedlove, is a retired astronaut, a hard-partying lady's man who eventually wins Aurora's heart and vice-versa, in a very funny courtship. But it is Emma who steals our hearts, as she deals with her cheating husband, Flap (Daniels), and then discovers a lump in her armpit. For our Emma, who has three small children, it's been caught too late. Other than this development, the movie really is a comedy. In one

cancer

scene Emma is at lunch with her best friend, Patsy, and some of Patsy's high-brow New York lady friends. These women all know that Emma has cancer, but they never say the word. Instead they skirt around the issue and make comments like how lucky her kids are to have such a wonderful mommy. Linda Ball After the lunch Emma is upset. When Patsy confronts her, she asks Emma, what do you want me to say or do? Emma says, "Tell them it's all right. Tell them it ain't so tragic. People DO get better! Tell them it's okay to talk about the CANCER!"

standing nearby, hacks up an hors d'oeuvres when she hears this. Who knew that 28 years later I would get the diagnosis of breast cancer. Only, unlike Emma, I survived. Now that movie line has even more meaning to me. I find that some people are uncomfortable if I bring it up. Don't be. It happens. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about one in eight. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about one in 36. I have found that it has become a big part of who I am now. It's not something to be ashamed of. At first I blamed myself — what did I do to bring this on? What didn't I do that I should have? There is no good answer, other than that cancer has its own agenda.

The next scene in the movie is hilarious, as a woman at a party comes up to Emma and says, "Patsy I've always exercised, and for the most part maintained a healthy tells me you have cancer!" Patsy,

diet, so I couldn't understand why me? On June 2, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, a 5K run/walk to raise money for breast cancer research. Seventy-five percent of the money raised as a result of the race and fundraising associated with it, will stay in Puget Sound to fund screenings, education, and treatment support. The remaining 25 percent will fund global research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. It's the least I can do, because I would very much like to see an end to this disease that robs so many women of years of their life while in treatment, or their entire life. It really sucks. But please know that talking about cancer to a survivor or even someone going through treatment is often what they need. Even though you can't understand unless you've been through it yourself, lend a compassionate ear. Because it's really okay to talk about the CANCER!

On New Year's Eve of that year, Vovak and her family committed to take part in the Race For The Cure. Nine years later, the team – which includes Vovak's son and daughter – is still going strong.

Volunteering her time for a worthy cause is nothing new to Vovak. In addition to losing her mother to Breast Cancer, Vovak lost her husband to a rare blood disease in 1999. As such Vovak has been raising money and volunteering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for years.

"Our little group has been getting bigger and bigger," said Vovak, who has rallied more than 50 people from the Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle for this year's race. But for Vovak, raising awareness about breast cancer is more than participating in the race once a year. "I think it was last year I just thought to myself, there's got to be something more I can do than just doing the Race for the Cure." At the time, Vovak encountered a new coworker and breast cancer survivor, and was working with the foundation. When Vovak showed interest in getting more involved, her coworker connected her with the volunteer coordinators. "It was just amazing timing," Vovak said. She's since started volunteering with the foundation on a more regular basis – stuffing bags for the race, sending mailers and handing out flyers on the Eastside. And while she admits most of the stuff she's been working on has been behind the scenes, she's eager to get even more involved. In fact, she said it’s her dream to

"I just felt like – with losing so many people in my family to breast cancer and cancer diseases – I just thought, there's gotta be something more," Vovak said. As far as the race goes, Vovak said her team has rallied behind the moniker "Save The Tatas" – though she admits her daughter, Emily, 14, thought they should be called "Hakuna MaTATA." "It's fun to have fun with it," Vovak said. "Because it's sad, but you still have to keep moving forward and somehow have fun with it, too." Vovak said she doesn't set a monetary goal for her team because she doesn't want to put too much pressure on people. However, most people on the team set their own personal goals. Vovak's personal best was $1,000. "Which I know isn't that much," Vovak said. "But every penny counts." Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602 kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

Bellevue gun shop cited for exposing workers to lead

Heritage Corner

The Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) has fined Wade's Eastside Gun Shop, Inc. in Bellevue $23,480 for exposing workers to health hazards caused by lead exposure. Wade's was cited for 17 violations of worker safety and health rules at the business's indoor firing range. Exposure to airborne and settled lead dust at firing ranges is a wellknown hazard that puts employees, instructors and customers at risk for lead poisoning, state officials said. Workers are exposed to lead in firing

A look at Bellevue’s past

Robinswood Park Tennis Bubbles This facility was constructed, or perhaps “inflated” is a better word, at Robinswood Park in 1974. The inflatable domes, called “bubbles,” were Bellevue’s first attempt at providing covered tennis courts for Eastside residents. Unfortunately, the bubbles turned out to be more costly and less functional than anticipated. In 1987 the parks department deflated them and set to work on a more traditional structure. The new wooden building opened on June 4, 1988 with a ribbon-cutting, exhibition matches, and a clinic by tennis pro Tom Gorman. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.

A proposal by state Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, to transform the state’s most persistently failing schools has been signed by Gov. Jay Inslee. Litzow represents the 41st Legislative District, which includes part of Bellevue. The measure requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to identify the lowest-performing schools and provide multiple intervention models in addition to supplemental funding for improving school performance. The policy must be in effect no later than the 2014-15 school year.

ranges when they clean the range, clean firearms, empty bullet traps or sort brass. The exposures occurred late last summer and fall when the gun range was undergoing extensive remodeling. Construction and demolition activity in an indoor gun range presents a much greater exposure hazard due to disturbing the settled dust. Without additional measures to control the hazards, acute lead poisoning is possible. T:4.8” L&I opened an inspection of the

firing range after receiving a report that blood tests on a number of Wade's employees indicated elevated blood-lead levels. Additionally, several construction workers employed by the contractor and sub-contractors experienced elevated blood-lead levels from working at the site. Overexposure to lead is considered a serious health hazard that may cause organ damage. Lead enters the body either by being inhaled from dust, mist or fumes in the air or swallowed.

‘Chicago’ brings more razzle dazzle to stage There’s a certain level of expectation that comes with putting on a musical that’s already established itself around the world. Especially if said musical currently stands as the second longest running production on Broadway. And if the stage version has called on some of the biggest and best names in showbiz to fill its roles. Even more so, if it was made into an Oscar-award winning movie. Those expectations seemed to reach new heights on Thursday, May 9, when the Village Theatre opened its last production for the 2012-2013 season, “Chicago.” Originally adapted into a musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, “Chicago” tells the story of femme fatales Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart as they navigate the corrupt justice system in prohibition-era Chicago. The result? Sassy ladies, fast-talking fellas and lots of laughs. If you’ve ever seen “Chicago” on

Broadway, you’ll notice the stripped down approach of its production. Broadway’s “Chicago” relies heavily on the performers to provide the pizazz in the show. The stage is simple, the costumes even more so – black on black on black – and the focus is the music. But keeping it simple is not the mantra for this production. While the plot remains the same, and the musical numbers remain at the forefront, Village Theatre’s production more closely follows the tradition of Rob Marshall’s big screen adaption – and adds lots more aesthetic pizazz: bedazzled dresses, feathers and lots of color. In addition to flashy costumes, this production – directed by Steve Tompkins and featuring additional choreography by Kristin Holland – embraces the overindulgence of the Roaring ‘20s on all levels – including the acting. This idea is best characterized in Taryn Darr’s Roxie Hart and Timothy McCuen Piggee’s Billy Flynn. In every sense of the word, Darr’s Roxie is more: more ditzy, more sassy,

‘Great Gatsby’ returns in grandeur

F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, “The Great Gatsby,” tells of the Roaring ’20s when the rich lived extravagantly, old money and new money were disdainful of each other, and prohibition led to a scandalous way of acquiring wealth through bootlegging. First made into a film in 1974, the story follows Jay Gatsby, a mysterious, fantastically wealthy man, through the eyes of Nick Carraway, the young narrator who moved to New York looking to become successful on Wall Street. Nick quickly finds himself wrapped up in the secrets and scandals of Gatsby and the wealthy Buchanans. The plot is both a complicated love story as well as a criAran Kirschenmann tique of the excessive lifestyle of the rich during the 1920s and the deterioration of the American Dream. Compared to the original film, the new Gatsby is faster paced and more modern. It doesn't follow the novel as closely as the older version, but was still highly accurate, making only slight modifications to improve the flow of the storyline. Despite this, the movie lasts well over two hours with the ending a bit rushed, leaving the conclusion less powerful. This film is not as realistic as the original, nor as true to the time period, instead having a more modern tone. For example, contemporary music, including rap, was used.

This summer, the Bellevue Arts Museum will celebrate the innovative works of the 2012 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award recipients. The award was established and presented by the International Sculpture Center (ISC) in 1994 to recognize deserving sculpture students and to encourage a continued commitment to their field. Each year, professors are invited to nominate their outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, who then

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home For Sale Bellevue - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short ofrequirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

Most of the film's action is found at Gatsby’s lavish, rowdy parties in which gaudily dressed people danced in the Movie 1920s fashion, confetti and fireworks shot off, and illegal alcohol was consumed in abundance. The parties were very exciting to watch in all of their splendor. Surprisingly, the film was in 3D which wasn’t a huge benefit, although the visuals were outstanding. Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby displayed an amazing range of emotion and depth. Nonetheless, I would have liked the film to dig deeper into his character. Carey Mulligan brilliantly performed the role of Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby’s former love. Tobey Maguire, famous for playing Spiderman, played the part of Nick Carraway, but wasn’t particularly memorable. All of the actors adapted their language and style of speech to the 1920s, which elevated their portrayals. Overall, “The Great Gatsby” is captivating on the big screen. Infused with humor and tragedy, it remains faithful to Fitzgerald’s novel.
