Bellevue Collection to get $1.2B expansion Construction is set to begin next year on a $1.2 billion expansion of The Bellevue Collection in downtown Bellevue. When completed in 2016, Kemper Development's retail-officehotel complex will grow by two million square feet. The move comes as Kemper Development has logged 48 consecutive months of sales increases. The number reflects retail sales of $853 per square foot, double the International Council of Shopping Center’s industry average. “With the influx of high net worth individuals and the area’s booming
tech market, luxury retailers have been circling the Pacific Northwest region in search of high profile locations for some time,” said Kemper Freeman, the third generation to head the company that bears his name. “With nearly 95,000 square feet of new, high profile, street front and additional interior space, our expansion will give luxury retailers the presence they have been looking for, and the sophisticated Northwest consumers the shopping experience they crave.” In addition to more than 375,000 square feet of new retail, dining and
entertainment space, The Bellevue Collection’s mixed-use expansion plans include 700,000 square feet of Class-A office space, a 250-room luxury hotel, an additional boutique hotel, approximately 500 high-end residential units and an additional 3,700 free parking spaces in two 6-level underground parking garages. The new complex has been anticipated for some time now. In January, Kemper bought the property on which family-owned Oriental Rug Co. SEE EXPANSION, 7

Luncheon raises $596,475 for Bellevue school programs More than 1,100 business and community leaders attended the Bellevue Schools Foundation’s 25th anniversary Spring for Schools luncheon May 17, raising more than $596,000 for district schools and programs. “This display of support for our schools is just incredible” said Bellevue School District Superintendent Dr. Tim Mills. The Bellevue Schools Foundation is making a difference in the lives of our students.” Representatives from many different foundation-supported programs shared stories and information during the preevent Education Showcase. “This event demonstrates how much our community cares,” said foundation Executive Director Roxanne Kröon Shepherd. “The education a child receives today can change the course of their life forever.

Boeing, Microsoft, Republic Services, Spee West Construction, and Union Bank
Jesus Cruz, student speaker from Bellevue Big Picture School. Photo courtesy of Rob Rose contributed as valedictorian sponsors. In all, 50 companies and organizations partnered with the foundation as event sponsors.

Short Takes on Life
if I had their vote, which was usually met with stares at the ground and choruses of “I haven’t decided yet.” When we gave our speeches to the rest of the freshmen, the other candidates wore skirts and high heels; I wore ripped jeans and, in an effort to make my speech stand out, threw a “Vote Fina” sign across the room. I did not get elected. Yet when it came time to elect representatives for sophomore year, I jumped at the chance to run again, ready to use what I had learned from a year of stewing over what could possibly have gone wrong with my brilliant campaign. I tried to seem more organized than before, only putting up posters in a few strategic places in the school (instead of everywhere from the lid of a box of sports equipment to the middle of the girls’ bathroom mirror.) I took special care to make my speech professional: I did not throw any signs across the room, and I wore jeans that were not ripped. While I do not yet know if I was elected to be sophomore class rep, my two campaigns have given me a new respect for candidates running for actual office. I don’t know how George Bush and Al Gore waited a month for the final decision in 2000. In my case, it’s been a day and I already can’t take it any longer.
You learn a lot running for office
T
here are two things almost every high school student government has in common: no one has any idea what it does, and electing new people to office is basically based on popularity. So why would anyone want to run? I thought I knew the answer when I ran for freshman class representative at the start of the year, but I quickly found out that I had no clue what I was doing. My campaign consisted of covering every Fina Short inch of exposed wall space with bright yellow posters, until someone wrote “don’t vote for her” on one as a joke and the offensive poster was shown to the entire school at an assembly. I occasionally awkwardly asked people

What’s happening in nearby cities North Bend: In the second home invasion in 12 hours, a North Bend family defended themselves by stabbing and killing an intruder in the 10100 block of 420th Avenue Southeast, Monday, May 13. The intruder reportedly first entered the house around 1 p.m. on Sunday, where the wife, mother-inlaw and infant baby were residing. He hit the mother, the wife of a Kirkland firefighter, and stole some money. At 1:40 a.m. deputies were called to the same home for another invasion. Kenneth Boonstra, 48, had died of multiple stab wounds. Sammamish: After being struck by an SUV in the parking lot of Glory Days Preschool, a 6-year-old Sammamish boy was rushed to Harborview. The child was reportedly hit by another parent after tripping and falling, when his own mother was talking to somebody else. The boy never lost consciousness according to EF&R. Kent: Police arrested NBA player Terrence
Williams on Sunday for investigation of second-degree assault domestic violence when he allegedly displayed a handgun to a woman during a scheduled visitation exchange of their 10-year-old son. Williams appeared Monday for a bail hearing in King County Superior Court at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center (RJC) in Kent. Williams posted bail Monday evening and was released at the King County Jail at RJC, according to jail records. Williams, 25, is a member of the Boston Celtics. He played at Seattle's Rainier Beach High School and at the University of Louisville. Renton: REACH Center of Hope, a shelter for homeless women and children, will accept its first family at the end of the month. It will open in the renovated and converted former jail in the basement of Renton City Hall. Statistics cited by Mayor Denis Law identify more than 300 homeless kids within the city limits. Law called it a “tremendous effort.”

Memorial Day: A good time to start flying the flag
M
onday is Memorial Day. It’s a day we should treasure, but too often we treat it as just another excuse for a three-day sale. It’s so much more than that. Thousands of men and women have died protecting the rights and freedoms that make the United States the envy of the world. Some cemeteries will have special ceremonies to mark the day, but even if they don’t, you can do your part. Visit a cemetery on your own and place a flag or flowers on the graves of the fallen heroes. Seek out veterans to thank them for their service. Participate in a “National Moment of Remembrance” at noon (Pacific time) and take a few moments to reflect on the true meaning of the day. Here’s another obvious one: fly the American flag. According to the Flag Manufacturers Association of America, the US flag should be flown at half-staff until noon. If you can’t display the flag on a short staff or for indoor flags that can’t be lowered, tie a black bow above the full-staffed US flag. If you can do the half-staff procedure, you should raise the flag to the top of the pole briskly, pause for a moment, and then slowly bring it down to where the top of the flag is at a position approximately halfway between the top and bottom of the pole. At noon, the flag should be raised quickly to the top of the flag pole. At the end of the day, the flag should be lowered slowly and ceremoniously for the day. Memorial Day kicks off the summer, but it’s also the start of special days that honor the flag. Next up is Flag Day on June 14 and, of course, Independence Day – the Fourth of July. But why stop there? Fly the flag every day of the year and honor our country and the people who have served it. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Reporter’s Notebook
Let’s cut the Millenials a little slack
I
n one photo, a circle of teens, each no more than 16 years old, pose in front of their personal jet. In another, the backseat of a Ferrari is stacked high with shopping bags. A girl shows off her massive diamond ring. Rich Kids of Instagram is an embarrassing look at the American upper class and a total misrepresentation of young people. And yet it’s somehow become the symbol of a supposedly self-obsessed generation of Millennials. With the onslaught of new social media Celina Kareiva platforms – Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – it’s really no surprise my generation has been targeted for its narcissistic ways. But how much truth is there behind this statement? The other week Time magazine ran a feature blasting 20 somethings for their selfish, entitled, shallow behavior. Author Joel Stein even accompanied the piece with a short video of his foray into “Generation Me” in which he “sexts” his
wife, incessantly checks his phone and searches his closet for band T-shirts. It’s the silly hook for a tired claim: Our generation is better than yours. Stein cites sociological data, like the growing incidence of narcissism in 20 somethings, the number of youth still living under their parent’s roof and the fact that young people are stalling careers for minimum wage gigs. I’ve even seen studies comparing pop lyrics from today and 10 years ago, for the number of times “Me” and “I” appears. Most of this data can be refuted with other data and the simple explanation that we’re still recovering from a devastating recession. But Stein’s article and the many other studies that have tried to characterize Millennials are disconcerting for two reasons: they’re massive generalizations and they miss the point. Science tells us that from your teens through your early 20s, we’re still developing our brains, which could partly explain that surly, navel-gazing. In other words, no matter the decade, youth marks a period of extreme self-absorption. Are we really that much more egotistical for our Instagram accounts and Facebook statuses, or do we just happen
to be growing up in a more public space with our missteps and first wobbly steps into adulthood posted across six different social media platforms. We’ve been pegged for our apathy, but Millennials have spotlighted and galvanized major movements: Occupy Wall Street, the environmental movement, LGBT rights and immigration reform. While those issues have been bolstered by supporters in all age brackets, young people in particular have shown an ability to think not only outside ourselves, but also globally and many generations out. It’s human nature to categorize, label and define, but the “Me Generation” is so much more than its Twitter feeds and personal blogs. Generation Millennial is the first to grow up with the World Wide Web, such incredible interconnectivity and the prevalence of travel. Cut us some slack, Baby Boomers. We’re a generation suddenly aware of how big the world is, and trying to come into our own. Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290 ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

Traffic drives me nuts, too
A
s a civil engineer who leads the city’s Transportation Department, my primary concern is in fulfilling our mission of providing a safe and efficient transportation system that supports livable neighborhoods and a vital economy. We plan our projects carefully, take a long-term approach to investing public resources and make every effort to minimize construction impacts. As a Bellevue resident, I’m also a regular user of our transportation system. On my commute, I carpool or bike daily from my home in the Spiritridge neighborhood to David Burg my job in downtown at City Hall. So it’s been doubly exasperating for
Improving schools not about the test
A
lthough I recently wrote an opinion piece about how my daughter would not be taking the MSP test, I hope my piece hasn’t in some way limited the conversation about improving schools to high stakes testing alone. Improving schools is not really about the tests. It’s bigger than that. It’s about what we think the purpose of an education should be. Tßhe purpose of an education is to explore one’s passions, to work through problems with other people to design creative Paul Sutton solutions, to find meaningful connections

me that congestion, particularly at the 148th/156th Avenue Southeast interchange with Interstate 90, has been such a bear lately. As a transportation professional, I’m trained to solve problems methodically and make improvements. But as a commuter, when I’m waiting in traffic on my way home, those traffic snarls are personal: they drive me nuts. And I know I’m not alone. We’re hearing regularly from others concerned about increased congestion. The main cause of the recent slowdowns in the Eastgate area near I-90 is related to the start of work on long-awaited improvements to nearby West Lake Sammamish Parkway. In response, we’ve made changes to signal timing, adjusted construction hours, and worked with the state Department of Transportation to fine-tune ramp metering on I-90. We hear you, we understand your frustration and we’re
between our lives and the lives of others, to find out what we are better at doing than anyone else in the world, to contribute, to learn how to use our passions and knowledge and skills to leave the world a better place than we found it. When children experience an education that capitalizes on their unique talents and skills and passions, they become people who share their expertise with the world in creative and productive ways.They live fulfilling, happy lives of purpose. Such values and principles should define the urgency of our efforts to improve our public schools. We don’t educate our youth so they’ll serve our need to be more economically competitive as a nation, although an economy that is filled with innovative and creative thinkers is a noble goal.We educate our youth to give them the tools to figure out for themselves how they’ll make a contribution, regardless of whether or not their interests and passions fit into our economic plans. If we can agree with these educational principles, then assessing the various proposals for school improvement should involve a rigorous interrogation of how they align with our
David Berg is Transportation Department Director for the City of Bellevue. He can be reached at 425-452-6468 or dberg@bellevuewa.gov educational goals. I believe such an interrogation would compel us to demand a fundamentally different conversation from politicians and educational leaders: one that de-emphasizes high stakes tests and emphasizes how our schools are serving the creative talents of our children. When people talk about how their child’s school could be better, test scores occupy a small part of their description. People simply yearn for schools their kids are excited to attend and that foster in them a sense of wonder, curiosity, and purpose and does so through rigorous academic study. Let’s demand from each other a better conversation about public education that encompasses the social, moral, intellectual, ethical interests of our kids and our community.

working hard to minimize congestion. We are now projecting the Parkway will be fully open in September, a full month ahead of the previously scheduled completion date. However, in the meantime we do expect delays at the Eastgate interchange to persist. And, with a busy road construction season kicking into high gear this month– including the city’s annual overlay program and major projects on Coal Creek Parkway and 120th Avenue Northeast – additional travel challenges are going to be with us for several more months. During this time we ask for your continued patience, and for your help. Take alternate routes and modify commute times if possible, and be extra careful when traveling through construction zones. I know that explanations and suggestions are no substitute for solutions when you’re stuck in traffic, but rest assured, there is a silver lining. The end result of all this work will be a better, safer transportation system for all of us.

Smith earned a Citation of Merit – Professional award, recognizing his long commitment to providing outstanding services for youth, people with disabilities, and the general community.

Bellevue City Council May 20
n Bellevue City Council members by a 6-0 vote approved a set of “market-driven strategies,” recommended by the Transportation Commission, which will become part of the city’s Transit Master Plan when it’s completed by the end of 2013. The strategies support the council’s vision of “abundant access,” which aims to make transit convenient, frequent, simple, efficient, direct and regionally connected. Strategies include focusing on diversity of ridership, creating an attractive product and price, encouraging connections throughout the day, concentrating on high-ridership areas, and encouraging walking and cycling.

Last updated in 2004, the comprehensive plan lays out the community’s vision for the future of Bellevue and sets policy that will direct city actions on a wide range of topics, such as land use, housing, human services, transportation, parks and economic development. The effort to update the current plan began in 2012 and is scheduled for completion in 2014. The city is reaching out to residents through an online forum called Bellevue’s Best Ideas, which invites peoples’ thoughts about how the city should grow and adapt to change over the next 20 years or more.

During his 23-year career with the city of Bellevue, Smith has been instrumental in developing the recreation program and pricing plan, spearheading partnerships with non-profit organizations in the community, and seeking meaningful ways to provide accessible services. In addition to Smith, other projects, programs, and people were recognized by the WRPA: n Spotlight Award – Best Trail: Ravine Experience at the Bellevue Botanical Garden n Spotlight Award – Special Use Facility: Robinswood Park off-leash area renovation n Spotlight Award – Trail Map/Interpretive Sign: Mercer Slough Nature Park interpretive trail signage n Teen Services Section Outstanding Teen Program Award: Kelsey Creek Farm Teen Volunteer Program n Park Resource Section Distinguished Service Award: Pat Harris, Grounds Operations Manager

The agreement sets the terms and conditions PSE must comply with when their electrical facilities occupy city rights of way. n The council discussed a proposed code of ethics ordinance that would govern the council, boards and commissions. The existing, outdated ordinance would be repealed. The draft code, modeled on the City of Kirkland’s regulations, is expected to come back for further discussion, and a possible vote, at the council’s May 27 meeting. n Councilmembers gave preliminary approval to amend the city’s sign code that governs signs atop downtown highrise buildings. Currently, 11 towers have building-top signs and employers must occupy at least 180,000 square feet of space to qualify for such a sign. The proposed code amendment would drop the requirement to 120,000 square feet for corporate headquarters only and could potentially qualify two additional office buildings. A final vote on the amendment is expected at the council’s June 3 meeting. n The council approved a work program for station area planning related to future East Link light rail stations. Objectives include community engagement, identifying city-funded investments, maximizing station access and supporting the land use vision in Bellevue’s comprehensive plan for each neighborhood. crime in the news – 30 percent in 2012, 41 percent in 2013.

Lake Hills Shopping Center moving ahead to 2nd phase Project focusing on buildings, pedestrians – not a sea of asphalt BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
After more than a decade of community outreach, planning and demolition, the Lake Hills Shopping Center entered phase two of development earlier this year. Once done, it will bring new retail, office and residential space to the neighborhood. A 10,000-square-foot library already anchors one corner of the property. “This is one of those rare and unique projects where the community, the city and the developer all came together with a clear vision of what they want to do and build,” said Oscar Del Moro of Cosmos Development and Administration, which purchased the property in 1998. In 2000 the city approached Cosmos Development about redeveloping the shopping center. A vision was announced in 2003 and by 2006 plans had been solidified. The redevelopment was initially part of a citywide push to revamp neighborhood shopping centers. Bellevue contributed half of a $20,000 study of options, early in the process. Typically anchored by large grocers, neighborhood commercial hubs found themselves competing with bigger malls and retail behemoths like Costco. “There are six or seven of these centers in the Bellevue area that over time have fallen into disrepair,” Del Moro said. “There are a lot more places to go, and so what the city wanted to do is to partner with the community, to find a way to revitalize the neighborhood centers and to address local needs.” But the recession tempered construction and the existing zoning of commercial business, added restrictions such as height limits and setback regulations. Del Moro said he hopes the final product will be something of an urban-commercial village. Rather than emphasizing parking spaces in a sea of asphalt, he wants to focus on buildings and the pedestrian experience, a model he says is totally different from the ’50s and ’60s. “At one point we did con-

COURTESY sider moving back,” says Siobhan Donohue, who co-owns the Liebchen Delicatessen, formerly located in Lake Hills, with her mother Maria. “But it's just not an option.” Having done business in Lake Hills for more than 40 years, the pair were informed in midDecember they had until January 15 to relocate, less time than they had originally expected. CrossFit would be the only business to stay. “It was really scary to leave the neighborhood I grew up in, the neighborhood where we knew everybody,” said Donohue. “I had a notebook and I sent over 500 postcards to neighbors, letting them know we were moving.” Liebchen Deli is now located in the Overlake area, joined by it's old neighbor Neda Persian grocery, also of Lake Hills and now called Oskoo Market. "They're all welcome to return," said Del Moro. "We've tried to
keep some, but it's hard to do when you have a dark period of some time. We're hopeful others will take their place, or they may come back and see the benefit of being here." The cornerstone of the project – a branch of the King County Library – opened in September of 2010, a few blocks east of its old location. The construction of office space fronting 156th also has finished and phase two marks the start of underground parking, upper level retail, residential space, landscaping and a European-style square at its center. When done, the center will encompass 69,200 square feet of retail space, 44,800 square feet of office and 90 residential units, though that much is still several years out. “Most developers want to build and be done,” explained Del Moro. “Our vision is always the longer-term, for quality improvement.” He expects parking to wrap at
the end of the year, and residential space to become available in June of 2014. "The thing to remember about this project is that we're where we're at because we developed it alongside the council, the city, the residents," said Steve Kasner of the East Bellevue Community Council, "and we kept going until we found [a plan] we can all live with." For Kasner, the emerging footprint already makes the center a focal point of the neighborhood. He suggests driving by the now open library at night, when the windows are illuminated. "It's beautiful," he remarks. “We see things lining up now,” says Del Moro, “and we're pushing ahead on this next phase, aggressively. It's a good time to build, to secure future tenants. We've overcome tough economic times. There's a lot of clean-up still, but I think we're on the mend.” Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290

is located. The $3.13 million purchase will facilitate the construction of two residential towers and a hotel. “Bellevue and the entire Eastside community have come a long way since my father, Kemper Freeman Sr., first opened Bellevue Square more than 65 years ago, serving a sparse population of 25,000 residents,” Freeman said. Today, the 4 million square foot Bellevue Collection is home to more than 250 stores and restaurants including 25 destination restaurants, a 16-screen premiere cinema, 1,100 luxury Westin and Hyatt Regency hotel rooms, 148 luxury condominiums, over a million square feet of office space and 10,000 free retail parking spaces. When completed, the expansion will include a new, luxury hotel with 240 guest rooms and suites, a 31-story office tower, three sky bridges and a total of 13,700 free parking spaces. “Over the past six decades, The Bellevue Collection has become the heart and soul of a vibrant, bustling region," said Sandeep Krishnamurthy Dean of the UW Bothell's Business program in that same statement. The Bellevue Collection had its beginnings in 1945 when Freeman's grandfather teamed up with a professional urban planner to try to stem the flow of war workers who were leaving Bellevue after the end of World War II. After a survey of local businesses and a fact-finding tour of the nation's then 2 shopping centers, Bellevue Shopping Square was opened with 16 stores. By the end of the following year, the number of stores increased to 20, including Frederick & Nelson, the Marshall Field’s retail empire’s first shopping center department store. The center was renamed Bellevue Square in 1955 and JCPenney became the development’s second department store anchor. By the close of the decade, Bellevue Square had grown to 45 stores, adding Seattlebased Nordstrom, in 1966. Bellevue Place was developed in the 1980s and Lincoln Square joined the complex in 2005.

I
became a librarian partly because I have a terrible memory. I knew that I’d do well in a field where it was acceptable to look things up frequently. This is helpful when my kids ask me questions. I indulge their inquisitive nature by looking up answers from trusted resources. Sometimes, they give me the toughest questions when I’m in no place to look them up. Usually it’s when I’m driving. I get questions from my son, the scientist: How hot is the sun? What fish swims the fastest? How many kinds of tomatoes are there in the world? I also get questions from my daughter, the philosopher: Who made God? Why are some people not nice? And always, everything begins and ends with Darcy Brixey “why?” These are not questions that can be quickly answered while driving to school. Thanks to the wonders of technology and in my car’s bluetooth adapter, we can call The Answer Line any time. To my kids, “I don’t know” is an unacceptable answer from a librarian mother. My son knows to ask for The Answer Line. My daughter asks why I don’t know anything. The Answer Line has been around for more than 20 years for quick answer reference. They’ve tackled crossword puzzle questions, settled bar bets and kept patrons updated during
storms when libraries are reporting closures. There is even a special red phone at the Library Connection at Crossroads that will connect you directly to The Answer Line for any tough questions. The staff is smart and quick and I’d be honored to have any of them on a trivia team. The nature of the questions received continues to evolve and the most popular is help with ebooks. Every year, after the holiday season, patrons across the county call The Answer Line for help in downloading books to their new Nook or Kindle. Recently a substitute teacher called between class periods to get an exact literary definition for the word “hyperbole” because she had to teach it in the next class. “I knew I could look it up,” she said, “but there wasn’t time. I knew Answer Line could tell me quickly.” Ever wondered how many left handed presidents the U.S. has had? Don’t ask me. I’m calling The Answer Line. The Answer Line is available 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m.; Sunday noon to 5 p.m. You can reach it at425462-9600. 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.
Volunteers needed for Medina Days Medina Days is looking for volunteers to serve as chair or co-chairs and steering committee members for
the 2013 Medina Days celebration. The longstanding annual community event takes place the second week of August. The chair of the event can be one individual with support from the com-
mittee, or shared with a spouse or a friend. The city provides the fireworks on Saturday night and support from police and public works. All other planning and coordination
are organized by the chair and committee. Those interested can contact Pam Greytak at 425-233-6410 or pgreytak@ medina-wa.gov.

HUGE PLANT SALE - 4 DAYS ONLY Issaquah, Washington: I have way too many plants here and they have to go! They need new homes and they need them right now. We have a bunch of plants priced at just $4.97, including Japanese Red Maples, Pink Dogwood Trees, Dwarf Fountain Grass, and 5 or 6 kinds of Hostas. The Pink Dogwood is my favorite. Big pink spring blooms last for weeks, and it’s the right size for a smaller yard, and it has such a nice shape all year round. But those Japanese Red Maples… Can you believe that? A Japanese Red Maple for $4.97? Okay, they’re small, but they are just so darn pretty with those deep red leaves. Let’s see, what else do we have for $4.97? Nugget Ninebark, and Curly Willow trees. Calla lilies. And Sedum, about 5 different kinds. Hungry? Looking for something to eat? We have Rosemary and Sage. They are really good in those dry areas the sprinkler doesn’t reach, but I like them right near my kitchen door, where I can just pop out and get a couple sprigs to dress up whatever’s for dinner. We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll turn their noses up at these. And on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like
they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself? Not as easy as it looks. Ours were transplanted into their pots a year ago, so they’ve grown big roots and we know that they’ll work for you. We’ve got Stella D’ Oro and Pardon Me Daylilies, and Coral Bells, $4.97. They look great together. I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of these, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed. We’ve also got a Forsythia with variegated leaves. Yellow flowers, variegated leaves? You don’t see that every day. Only $4.97. Neon Flash Spirea, Gold Mound Spirea and a couple of other flowering Spireas, Variegated Weigelas, which will be just covered with blossoms and look like a pink fountain all summer long, $4.97. Also at $4.97 we’ve got Eastern Redbud trees and Spring Beauty Viburnums. Where else are you going to get a redbud tree for $4.97? I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. All these trees should be priced more than $20 and I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts! We’ve got Astilbe. This is a plant that blooms in shade. Sometimes I think I could get Astilbes to bloom in my front hall closet. They’re
the only plant I know of that blooms in that much shade. And hardy? Tough as nails. How about Rhododendron? I’ve got three different kinds of Rhododendrons. These are just $7.97 for a one gallon plant. We have White, Soft Pink, and Deep Pink. Come look at our fabulous Shasta Viburnum in the front yard. This beauty is totally covered with big white blossoms. You can have one, too, for $11.97. I’ve also got some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. Come look at these. They are over 2 ft tall, and really full. Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon and I can sell them for $19.97, so I will. It’s my nursery and I get to do that. We have big 5 ft Stewartia trees. Never heard of Stewartia? Google it! Heck, you can even Google it on your phone, right? Check it out and prepare to fall in love. These are really nice, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. I’ve also got some beautiful Wolf Eye Dogwoods for only $29.97 each. You need to Google that as well, and then come see the big one in our front yard. It’ll blow your doors off. Let’s see, what else? How about some really nice Peegee Hydrangeas for $7.97. And Dwarf Cedars of Lebanon, $19.97? These look like those big Alaskan Cedars that have that nice column shape with the weepy top, but only get to about 10 ft tall. They are really nice next
to a building, ‘cause they stay narrow. Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got four kinds of very special Japanese maple. Crimson Queen (beautiful weeping form), Lion’s Head (really bold!), Tamukeyama (deep wine color, weeping form), and Viridis (green – ever seen a green weeping Japanese Maple?) and Coral Bark (red stems in winter – awesome.) These are all $39.97 for big 2 ft plants, except the Coral Bark which is a little smaller and a steal at $19.97. Wait, there’s more … Black Eyed Susan, Lemon Beauty Box Honeysuckle, Creeping Jenny, Emerald and Gold Wintercreeper. I know there’s even more but this is making my head hurt. Sales starts Friday, May 24th and runs through Memorial Day, Monday May 27th. 10 a.m. til 4 p.m. The Daily Plant-It, 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah Washington 98027. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah. There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good. See you this weekend! (Phone number? There is no way I can answer the phone at the same time as I talk to people about these plants. Just come on out. I promise it will be worth it.) (Paid Advertisement)

Bellevue Pain Clinic offers
Advanced Treatment for Knee Pain Sufferers How do I know if this treatment is right for me?
Jason had to have his wife bring him into the The Pain Center of Bellevue because he had lost the ability to play golf, sit, stand, or walk for more than ten minutes... He felt crippled, and was admittedly “addicted to drugs now.” Jason had severe knee pain with clicking and popping for over 3 years. He had 40% loss of muscle strength in his legs and because of this he said he could no longer climb stairs or walk without knee pain. He was diagnosed by X-Ray to have arthritis in his knees. Jason had tried the typical medication, physical therapy, chiropractic, and steroid injections with no relief at all... so in 2010 he went ahead and had arthroscopic surgery performed on his left knee. This is when your surgeon can use arthroscopy to feel, repair or remove damaged tissue. To do this, small surgical instruments are inserted through other incisions around your knee.... Well, like in many cases, this did not work to solve the underlying problem so he had lost all hope. When he went to visit an orthopedic surgeon he said he couldn’t help his case and he was going to end up eventually requiring a knee replacement surgery. Jason and his wife had nowhere to turn until they heard about The Pain Center of Bellevue and Joint Regeneration Therapy. Jason was told exactly how the Joint Regeneration Therapy worked and how it might be able to help him... but due to his severity and history of bone on bone arthritis...no promises were given...other than that the staff would do what they do best and provide him with high quality care with the highest quality medical equipment specifically designed to help joints recover, heal, and repair. After a few weeks of care, Jason was pain free and was able to walk, run, sit, lift, work, and do anything he needs to be a normal productive person with a real future. He is off all medication and the thought of a knee replacement is now in the past! Jason’s wife also know’s what a true gift this has been for them and it would not have been possible without The Pain Center of Bellevue.
Joint Regeneration Therapy may be the right treatment for you if: 1. Your knee pain is due to osteoarthritis 2. You are not getting adequate osteoarthritis knee pain relief from walking and/or physical therapy 3. You are not getting adequate osteoarthritis knee pain relief from pain medications, including: Ibuprofen (e.g., Advil®), Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®), Naproxen sodium (e.g., Aleve®) If you are suffering with any amount of knee pain, then you owe it to yourself to have a no-obligation evaluation of your MRI and/or X-ray and physical examination with one of our specialists so we can determine if Joint Regeneration Therapy would help you or a loved one. The first step is this evaluation, just to see if you are a candidate. From there it will be your decision to proceed with care if we accept your case. We only work with serious people who have serious problems... We have a limited number of new patient appointments per week, so call now and reserve a time for us to look at your case and see what’s possible.
Getting to Know My Knee What is the knee joint and what does it do? Your knee is one of the most important joints in your body. It is a major “weight-bearing” joint— which means it helps support your body’s weight. It plays a role in almost all of your movements. The way your knee bends back and forth is a lot like a hinge on a door. Part of it also rotates whenever you bend it (this is called “flexion”) and straighten it (this is called “extension”).
Causes and symptoms of knee pain Knee pain is very common. In fact, 33% of people in the United States over the age of 45 report some form of knee pain.

Bellevue Farmers Market celebrates 10 years BY JOSH SUMAN
BELLEVUE REPORTER
When a new senior pastor at Bellevue Presbyterian Church arrived around a decade ago, he challenged his parishioners to take the mission of ministry beyond the sanctuary and into the community. For Lori Taylor, the message came through loud and clear. Taylor, who has attended First Presbyterian since she was an infant, took the opportunity to get closer to her own family’s roots, establishing what was at the time the first farmers market in Bellevue. “I have a grandfather and grandmother who were dairy farmers in Wisconsin,” Taylor said, adding she used to take cross-country train rides to help them during her summers as a child. “The products are different from at your local store because you’re talking to the person who grew it and buying directly from the producer.” Last Thursday the market celebrated the beginning of its 10th anniversary season and brought out dozens of conscious consumers for grass-fed and organic meats, ciders and other drinks devoid of preservatives or additives and produce and greens picked only hours earlier. For farmers and other small businesses with an emphasis on organic, locally sourced food, it is a chance to bring their products to a population

increasingly aware of where its food comes from and more importantly, how it got there. Luisa Famulski, who moved to Bellevue from Canada five years ago when her husband took a job at Microsoft, said her family looks for organic and all-natural products in chain grocery stores in the area during the months when markets are not operating. But even that is no match for the face-to-face connection built at the farmer’s market. “We try to buy organic at QFC,” she said. “But it is great being able to talk to the growers and producers about how they are raising the animals.” Skagit River Ranch has a similar focus and has been coming to the Bellevue market for several years. The Sedro-Woolley farm features a wide variety of 100 percent grass-fed, organic meats raised under humane conditions, and also offers organic chicken and eggs. While the many cuts of beef and lamb are undeniably popular, Betty Crippen said it is the bacon that brings the familiar faces back to the booth year after year. “People swear up and down they get hooked on it,” she said of the bacon, adding it is cured with a special family recipe from farm owners George and Eiko Vojkovich. “It is all pork, no nitrates, and people buy four or five packages at a time.”
FARMERS MARKET Where: Bellevue Presbyterian Church, 1717 Bellevue way NE (Thurs.); NE Sixth St. and Compass Plaza (Sat.) When: Thursdays through Oct. 10; Saturdays June 8 - Nov. 23 What: Organic and all-natural produce, meats, cheeses, bread and baked good, drinks and a chance to speak directly with producers Taylor said initially, persuading Bellevue’s older generations to forgo convenience for ideologies like sustainability and humane conditions for animals was a tough sell. But as the tech industry has exploded and brought young professionals from across the globe to the Eastside, the open-air feel of the market along with the principles of its vendors has made it a true destination during spring and summer months. “They care about the environment and they are the ones who are drawn.” Taylor said she has worked closely with the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance, a group that facilitates seven markets in Seattle including one in the University District that is the highest grossing in the entire state. Taylor said after watching her own market grow exponentially in both offerings and community participation, the possibility for growth is greater than ever. “With such a fast-paced society, it is a place to slow down and have a connection,” Taylor said. “People tell us it is the highlight of their week.”

Unsuspecting start led Interlake golfer to state tournament

When the 3A state girls golf tournament began early Tuesday morning at Lewis River Golf Course near Vancouver, the field of around 80 was filled with lifetime golfers, girls who had reached the top of the prep game after spending much of their childhood on the course. It also included Danielle Niemann. While the Interlake senior’s early years weren’t spent trolling fairways, she has more than made up for it since coming to the game as a freshman for the Saints and now finds herself among the state’s best along with Aleana Groenhout and freshman Delaney Douglas. Not a product of her team’s home course and Bellevue neighborhood of Tam O’Shanter like Groenhout, Douglas and so many of Interlake’s other golf prodigies, Niemann’s inspiration to join the golf team was inauspicious. “I didn’t have a spring sport,” she said. “I was thinking about track, but my sister did track so I wanted to start something new and play golf.” After a single trip to the driving range with her father and without having ever played a round of golf, Niemann packed up a pair of heirloom clubs from the garage and set on a path that has made her a part of KingCo title and SeaKing District championship teams and state tournament appearances in two classifications. Of course, the road had its rough stretches. With a talented group of upperclassmen and on one of the league’s most successful teams, Niemann struggled to climb above the final spot in the team rankings throughout her first year. “I was just trying not to double-par every hole and get through it,” she said. “I started practicing a lot and getting into it and looking back, that paid off.” From working on the driving range mats, hitting buckets of balls into the hanging nets to tune the mechanics of her swing, to developing a consistent short-game and eventually finding her confidence on the green and off the tee, Niemann said her dedication to the game has taken her to places she never imagined on the course. It has also

given her a much needed reprieve from the more regulated atmosphere of volleyball, where she was a four-year varsity player for the Saints. “I just like being out here,” she said. “Especially after school, getting to be outdoors in the open, it is less intense.” Even after she came into her own the course, challenges still arose, including this year when one of her International Baccalaureate tests conflicted with her tee time for the KingCo Medalist Tournament, leaving her without a playing group. An athletic director from another school in the conference played the round with Niemann to make it legitimate as she shot her way to districts and then state. Interlake golf coach Doug Calvert said the entire process of her growth has been a testament to a determined character. “She is the example of hard work, tenacity and not getSEE GOLF, 15

Sisters have Saints primed for playoffs

ting discouraged,” Calvert said. “She is doing the full academic thing all the time but she is responsible and always the first one here, doing the right thing.”
Former, current freshman sensations have Saints in good hands for future
When Aleana Groenhout was a freshman at Interlake two years ago, Calvert had heard the tall tales about 200plus yard drives and a potential collegiate career down the road. At the time, he reserved judgement and the nowjunior has done nothing other than build that reputation in the two seasons since, making a pair of state tournaments and winning the KingCo title this year after a dominating regular season. “The biggest difference I’m seeing, she is just more focused,” he said. “Her shot routine is visible and consistent, she is playing a lot smarter.” Groenhout has repeatedly discussed a more concerted effort on the mental aspect of the game — regrouping quickly after a poor shot, planning her way through the course. “I kind of learned how to play the game,” she said. “I would get really down if I hit a shot in the rough. Now, I know it isn’t that big of a deal, I can work with it.” As one of Interlake’s trio enters the prime of her days as a prep, another is just entering the fray. Delaney Douglas is only a freshman but like her neighbor at Tam O’Shanter Groenhout did two years ago, has made herself known and is in the state tournament on her first go around and enjoyed the process. “We’ve grown up together and it was always the plan to golf together in high school,” Douglas said. “I’m so excited, this has been the best experience ever.” Douglas finished in a tie for seventh at districts and ended her first state tournament on day one after missing the cut. Groenhout shot a 89-87-176 and finished in a tie for 13th. Niemann shot 94-103-197 to end her prep career.

Sisters Ashley (left) and Erin Scott have Interlake in the 3A state tournament. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter When Erin Scott thinks about this week’s 3A state softball tournament, she can’t hide her emotions. The Interlake senior knows this is her last run on the diamond and after playing with this group since Little League, on summer teams and with the Saints during the most successful stretch in program history, the moment is bittersweet.
Even more so considering one of those teammates she has grown with in the game and away from it is her younger sister Ashley. Little sister would tag along to practices just to watch when Erin began playing as a nine-year-old. Ashley signed up two years later and in the years since, the two have formed a bond through softball that will last well beyond their prep years and has their team in the 3A state tournament for the first time in school history, where they will face Enumclaw at noon May 24 in Lacey. “Softball has always been our getaway,” Erin said. “Playing with her has kept me going.” The Scott sisters have taken care of the work in the pitcher’s circle all year, tossing nearly 160 innings combined to propel their team through the KingCo tournament and to a third-place finish at the Sea-King District tournament last week. Erin sports a 2.36 ERA and has struck out 87 batters on the year and allowed only 17 extra base hits. Ashley has been just as impressive, winning eight games against only three losses and surrendering only 42 runs in 61 innings. “To see her be so successful is so exciting for both of us,” Erin said. “She has really come through in clutch situations and shown she is a great asset to the team. It has been awesome to watch her develop.” That development has taken place at the plate as well as in the circle. The Scotts have been in the middle of a balanced, productive Interlake offense throughout the year, combining for 22 doubles and 47 RBI. Sophomore Carly Pim leads the team with a .442 batting average, while junior Victoria George has knocked in 23 runs. After making the first state tournament appearance in any classification last year in 2A, coaches Jesse and Sarah Brown knew the challenge would be much greater this time around, with state powers from the Metro League and a rising tide throughout KingCo standing in their way. But with a bonafide leader in Erin Scott, a roster rife with playoff experience and a group of talented underclassmen led by Ashley Scott, Interlake is on the precipice of even more. “Every year is a growing experience,” Jesse Brown said. “This might not be the most talented team we’ve ever had, but that experience says a lot.”

Bellevue’s John Slough’s work may send humans to the red planet BY ANDY NYSTROM
HOW IT WORKS
REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
According to John Slough’s project description on the NASA site, MSNW’s research focuses on the magnetically driven implosion of metal foils onto a magnetized plasma target to obtain fusion conditions. The work extends to a method that utilizes these metal shells (or liners) to not only achieve fusion conditions, but also to serve as the propellant. High-voltage capacitors are charged up to 20,000 volts and then a single trigger from a computer in the control sends the energy through the cables into the massive magnet (which includes a chamber and the plasma) in about a millisecond. About a million amps (of electricity) flows through this for that brief period of time.
A concept image of a spacecraft powered by a fusion-driven rocket. In this image, the crew would be in the forward-most chamber. Solar panels on the sides would collect energy to initiate the process that creates fusion. COURTESY ILLUSTRATION “If you really want to make a difference and get there fast and reduce the exposure of your astronauts to cosmic radiation, bone loss and many, many other hazards of space, you needed something that ejects the propellant at high velocity,” Slough said. Slough likens it to an H-bomb, except at one-billionth of the yield. If it is done fast and hard enough, a small nuclear explosion can vaporize the material, ionizing it and producing the kind of propellant velocities to get to Mars rapidly. Lithium would be the material of choice in space; in the lab, they use aluminum. Slough hopes that by 2020 a fusion rocket could be set for robotic space testing. By 2030, humans could be on their way to Mars. Slough estimates that their research is at a two or three on NASA’s technology readiness scale of one to nine. Slough, who grew up in Cheyenne, Wyo., was in grade school when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to travel into space. He was fascinated while watching TV news reports of the April 12, 1961 event.
“It attracted me to physics and then astrophysics, eventually, when I went to college and graduate school. I wanted to understand everything about evolution of the galaxies and space,” said Slough, who earned his degree in astrophysics from Columbia University. He’s now a research professor at the UW and started MSNW (named after a previous company he worked for, Mathematical Sciences Northwest) in 1992 and moved it to Redmond in 2004. “I still have an interest in astronomy, because that is sort of the ultimate goal: the idea behind all this is to go out and explore the universe, find out where we came from,” added Slough, who is married and has three grown children — two teachers and one biologist. With a laugh, Slough explains that he’d enjoy watching somebody else take a fusion-driven rocket to Mars, but admits he doesn’t have the nerve to take a trip himself. Plus, by 2030, he’ll be well retired, he noted. “If you think of Wernher von Braun, I’m sure he felt very rewarded by the fact that he contributed to the early formation of NASA and our whole rocket program, even if he didn’t get to ride on any of them in his lifetime,” Slough said. If anything, Slough says he and his crew can at least develop a road map for future scientists to continue their journey. “I don’t know the end of this story, which makes it fun, and at the same time we get to work on something that may work — it’s exciting,” Slough said.

It’s not rocket science for a boss to pursue employees who are intelligent, dedicated and stimulated about whatever important project is on the table. But, in the case of John Slough, 60, of Bellevue and his research team at MSNW, rocket science is exactly what’s going on within the walls of their Redmond office and, a few blocks away, at the University of Washington Plasma Dynamics Lab. If all goes according to Slough's plan, humans could someday embark on an epic trek — speeding toward Mars at about 112,000 mph thanks to the components his team is building for a nuclear-fusion-driven rocket. “When John won this project for the fusion-driven rocket, I was not yet on the team,” said mission analyst Anthony Pancotti, 33. “So I went into John’s office and sat down with him and said, ‘You have to put me on the fusion-driven rocket. I want to be doing this project. This is extremely exciting, this can change the way humanity goes about on space travel.’” Pancotti's eyes are ablaze and his body emanates a slight energetic shake. Nearby, propulsion lead scientist David Kirtley grins, laughs and is in full agreement with his research partner’s reaction to the rocket project. When in graduate school, Kirtley studied fusion-based propulsion systems, but only when writing papers and constructing computer models. He’s now in it for real. “We’re actually building hardware and we’re testing it,” Kirtley added. The $500,000 rocket project is funded through NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts Program. Seated in his MSNW office, Slough’s shaggy white hair often inches from side to side as he speaks. Behind him is a whiteboard filled with mathematical calculations scrawled in red, black, purple, green and blue. Slough feels that Mars is the nearest and most interesting planet for human exploration. There have been robotic missions to Mars, but none with humans. Adding people to the mix makes the trip a daunting challenge because today's chemical rockets don't possess enough energy to transport the passengers quickly. Slough noted it would take about 1,680 days for a round trip to Mars and would require 11 rocket launches and a roughly $12 billion price tag. With nuclear fusion, one launch of about 130 metric tons of fuel would support a 210-day round trip at less cost.
