Property acquisitions begin along East Link alignment BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
A CPA who works from home, Scott Rodgers' condo in Carriage Place along 112th Avenue is in a prime location. He's within walking distance of downtown Bellevue, has immediate access to I-90 and I-405. And when he first moved there in 2006, with East Link alignment discussions
still underway and a preferred route running behind the Hilton Hotel, he thought he'd find himself conveniently close to light rail. “It's not that we're eager to go,” explains Rodgers, president of the Carriage Place Condominium Homeowners Association, who lives there with his wife. “It's that a lot of people need to get on with their lives.
Now that it's coming down to the acquisition, we're thinking, where else can we live? What will we be able to buy?” Rodgers' unit is one of 41 in Carriage Hills and Carriage Place condos that faces full acquisition by Sound Transit, now that an East Link alignment has been approved. When the Bellevue City Council certified a land use overlay in February of this year,

Overlake testing device to remove clots Hospital one of three sites nationally to test benefit for victims of strokes BY CHRIS LOPAZE UW NEWS LAB
A grain of rice. That is approximately the size of a stroke victim’s blood clot. Overlake Medical Hospital is one of three hospitals in the U.S. participating in a FDA trial testing the Separator 3D, a new device to remove ischemic blood clots with less invasive methods. Dr. Abhineet Chowdhary, director of neurosurgery at Overlake, will be one of the primary doctors handling the device. “This particular [device] incorporates a lot of the good function of what’s already out there, but combines it into one,” Chowdhary said. “It’s like saying the wheel is good, an engine is good, AC is good, let’s make a car. You don’t want each one of those pieces, but you want the car.” This device treats only ischemic stroke, an obstruction caused by a blockage in the brain. Veins closer to the brain are smaller compared to

As people get older, blood vessels narrow, increasing the risk. According to the National Stroke Association, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, with over 133,000 deaths per year out of approximately 795,000 strokes that occur. Ischemic strokes account for 87 percent of all strokes. Controllable risk factors for stroke are similar to risk factors for heart disease and cancer, such as smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and living a sedentary lifestyle.
Current methods for treating stroke are an IV tPA-a drug with clot busting properties, administered through an IV-and mechanical thrombectomy, a process done by machines similar to the Separator 3D. The device is made of a malleable material called nickel titanium alloy, or nitinol, and is soft enough to not damage blood vessels. Inside the sheath, which is a tube, the device is attached to a green wire used to control it. SEE BLOOD CLOTS, 14
A site that includes restaurants Las Margaritas and Nibbana, surrounded by a sea of downtown Bellevue high-rises, sold on Monday for $31 million. The 1.34 acre property located at 437-527108th Ave. NE, had been privately owned for 30 years and went on sale in October of last year. Kidder Matthews represented the sellers, a retired dentist Milt Walter Zoning on the property would allow and his wife, Sue. for buildings as high as 450 feet. According to King CELINA KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter County records from 2012, the Las Margaritas lot was appraised at $5.5 million and the neighboring location at $2.6 million. Though a small plot of land, it drew interest early on. The Walters were approached many times over the years, sometimes as often as once a week. When the property went on sale in October, Bellevue city staff had already flagged the site, and several other downtown properties as underdeveloped, meaning that they were occupied by outdated buildings or could afford to grow taller with the central business district's dwindling high rise office space. In the end, it sold to NIU Enterprises II LLC, a group of Chinese investors and companies. Zoning for the mixed use site would allow for a tower as high as 450 feet.

Fire damages Bridle Trails School A fire Sunday night resulted in $250,000 worth of damage to Bridle Trails School, a private preschool in north Bellevue, and the adjoining residence on the 3000 block of 140th Ave. Northeast. Firefighters from Bellevue and Redmond arrived at the scene at 6:24 p.m., just as the owner of the house and her granddaughter escaped the blaze. No one else was in the house at the time, though the school, located on the first floor, serves 80 preschoolers during the day. The homeowner first called to report smoke filling her room on the second floor. She hung up shortly afterward and firefighters later learned that she'd called her daughter and granddaughter, who lived nearby. They drove to her rescue and helped her exit the smoke-filled house. Firefighters successfully extinguished the flames within 32 minutes. The owner and her granddaughter were transported to Overlake Hospital where
they were treated for smoke inhalation and released Sunday. "We always get [nervous] when schools are involved," said Lt. Troy Donlin of the Bellevue Fire Department. "We never know if there are still kids there at that hour. Thankfully, we were told that there was nobody else in the building." The fire seems to have begun in the upstairs bedroom, but the exact cause has been reported undetermined. Downstairs, the preschool sustained significant water and smoke damage. "We would like to get up and running as quickly as possible," said Karen Miller, a Bridle School employee and the occupant's daughter. The school is looking into alternatives for classroom space, like other buildings on the property and possibly portable classrooms. A voicemail recording indicates Bridle Trails staff have not yet determined when they will reopen.

Bellevue College nursing instructor earns scholarship Samantha Girard, a member of the nursing faculty at Bellevue College, has earned the prestigious Jonas Nurse Leaders Scholar Program for her work pursuing a doctorate of philosophy in nursing. As part of the program, she will receive a $20,000 grant to cover tuition and research-related expenses. She is one of 200 Samantha Girard people chosen nationwide for the program. Girard, who has taught at BC for nearly six years and is a tenured instructor, is in the doctoral program at Washington State University. She is expected to graduate in early 2014 and will continue teaching at Bellevue College. “We’re tremendously proud of Samantha’s accomplishments. Her successful
completion of the doctoral program in nursing will expand her contributions in making the nursing education we offer here at Bellevue College of the highest quality,” said Kevin McCarthy, dean of the Health Sciences, Education and Wellness Institute. The Jonas scholars program is meant to address the nation’s shortage of nursing faculty – nursing schools turned away more than 67,000 qualified applicants in 2010. To help increase the number of nurses in the region, Bellevue College is working to develop a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, with classes slated to begin in the fall. The program has been approved by the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges, and is on track for approval by the Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission. The degree will bring the total number of bachelor’s degrees offered at Bellevue College to five.

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
altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-866-252-2302 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.

Supreme Court decision on DNA will make society safer
F
ingerprints are an essential tool in law enforcement. If you’re arrested for a serious crime, a technician rolls ink on your fingers and presses an image onto paper. You don’t get a say in the matter. The reason is that the prints not only can link a person to a crime under investigation, but also other crimes committed elsewhere. On Monday this week, the US Supreme Court gave law enforcement an even better tool to do its job: DNA samples. As other commentators have said about the decision, it’s a “thumbs up” for public safety. While fingerprints are an excellent means of identification, there is a problem. Surgery that causes deep scarring or diseases such as leprosy can damage the ridges of skin that make the prints. DNA can’t be changed. Just this year the Belevue Police Department got a DNA hit on a 32-year-old cold case that led to an arrest. Bellevue Police continued to investigate the case even after it went cold, but the break came when the man’s DNA was collected last year alongside other sexually violent offenders at the McNeil Island Special Commitment Center. The Supreme Court decision wasn’t unanimous, but on a 5-4 vote with the majority seeing the procedure as a logical extension of fingerprints. Opponents see the decision as allowing unwarranted search of a person and a step toward DNA being used for reasons beyond law enforcement. The Maryland law under consideration by the court is clear that the DNA is to be used for identification only. Everyone’s DNA history is not going to become part of a database. The courts have the power to contain the use of DNA. Allowing it to help solve crimes and catch criminals is a logical extension of the use of fingerprints and will make society safer. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

I
f you are a regular reader of mine, you may be getting sick of me talking about breast cancer, but humor me one more time. On Sunday, June 2, I participated in my very first “Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Puget Sound.” To say it was a profound experience is an understatement. Not being a “real” runner, I was pretty sore the next day, but it was worth it. The love and support I felt — not to mention the sisterhood — was pretty darn awesome. It was humbling, and sad, to witness hundreds of women in survivor’s TLinda Ball shirts, including me, knowing that there are so many who have suffered with this terrible disease. Honestly, when will it end? Yet the support from the crowd and cheerleaders along the race course was so awesome. There was a special chute for survivors as we crossed the finish line, and when they put my medal around my neck I couldn’t help but cry. A woman on the sidelines made eye contact with me, and I don’t know who she was, but she just started hugging me and I let it all go for just a minute. Thank you kind lady. We survivors were treated like we were really special, but the fact is we are just part of a very large group of people in the same club — a club we really didn’t choose to be a part of. The sponsors and volunteers showered us in “swag” and I was treated to a chair massage in the survivors special area. A live band called Rewind rocked the park at Seattle
Center, and even with tired legs, I was dancing. I raised enough money to earn a shiny gold cape, which I proudly ran in, but I was stunned to learn the top individual fundraiser brought in more than $6,000! With the revelation that Angelina Jolie had a preventative double mastectomy, and now “Race For the Cure,” breast cancer is on everyone’s radar again. Jolie, one of the most beautiful and famous women in the planet, had guts to do what she did, but the odds were not in her favor. She carried a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which is a killer. She had an 87 percent chance of getting breast cancer. Her announcement is now followed up by the limited release of the film “Decoding Annie Parker,” which will be shown again Saturday June 8. I saw the film after deadline, as part of the Seattle International Film Festival. The movie is about Dr. Mary-Claire King, a geneticist at the University of Washington, and a breast cancer patient, Annie Parker. King is the doctor who figured out that BRCA1 and BRCA2 can be inherited from either parent. The film stars Helen Hunt as King and Samantha Morton as Parker. Director Steven Bernstein, King and Parker will be special guests at both screenings and more than likely will take questions. It should be very interesting. And so it goes. Breast cancer is everywhere. From the sea of bright pink Sunday during the survivor’s march, which was highly emotional, to famous movie stars, movies about cancer and the scars that we survivors deal with. The bottom line is, until breast cancer goes away, you’ll never hear the end of the fight to eradicate this and all cancers. Linda Ball: 425-391-0363, ext. 5052; lball@issaquahreporter.com

Language of ballet unites dancers from different countries

t. Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” In light of that statement, how grateful we, the Professional Division (PD) dancers at the International Ballet Academy, are at having been given the opportunity to participate in the Dance Open 2013 Festival in St Petersburg – Russia’s largest ballet forum. It was a unique trip, and a deeply moving experience. On our first day, we visited the Hermitage Museum. The build-

Holder’s time is up Okay, it’s time. Eric Holder really needs to go. His selective enforcement of U.S. laws is an embarrassment to his boss, President Barack Obama. You could see which way his department was leaning when he dropped the slam-dunk conviction of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation. Can you imagine what would have happened if the Tea Party had been waving clubs at potential voters just outside the booths? Then there were the lies and cover-ups in the “fast and furious” Mexican gun running scandal. Here, people were murdered, including two U.S. Border Patrol agents. Now we have the AP wiretapping and the James Rosen scandals. Holder signed off on the subpoenas and in the case of Rosen had to go to three different judges before one was

It was a real “ballet nerd” moment for us to share. Sarena Fishman Quite possibly the best part of the trip were the two Stars Gala performances. Witnessing Uliana Lopatkina’s Dying Swan brought me to tears. Before I could laugh it off, I saw the PDs sitting next to me blinking away bits of dust that had apparently become lodged simultaneously in all their eyes.

That’s why Marc Rich now resides comfortably in Switzerland having received a pardon on Bill Clinton’s last day in office. Now the DOJ looks bumbling. Sprinkle in the Benghazi and the IRS scandals and it looks worse than that. It really is time for Holder to go.

Bellevue makes a great impression My wife and I were heading to the Bellevue Hilton for a convention and we got lost by taking the wrong exit. Coming to a local service station, we expressed our concerns for the need to find the hotel since it was late at night. Up came a gentleman who offered to lead us to the hotel if we were willing to follow
It was a strange, but incredibly inspiring experience for us to perform in such a different theatre from our “home field,” and to take class with students from all over the world. Different languages were being spoken from every side, but somehow that didn’t get in the way. There were a handful of standard English and Russian words everyone seemed to use to communicate – such as “hello,” “spasiba,” and “you’re crushing my tutu, move.” Apart from that, we found ourselves all speaking the exact same language, on a deeper level. Vaganova Ballet Academy professor Gennady Seylutsky aptly said during our ballet master-class with him: “I don’t speak English,” chuckling at his own speech, “But we all speak ballet.” Though we were all far from different countries, I felt that I had traveled closer to home than I had ever been. Everything felt so familiar. We were surrounded by the language and the culture of dance, in the city that holds the heart of ballet. Sarena Fishman is a student with International Ballet Academy (formerly School of Classical Ballet) and attended the International Dance Open in St. Petersburg, Russia.

It certainly made a good impression on us as we enjoyed several days at the Northwest Public Power Association annual convention. Thank you, sir, for helping a couple of stranded Oregon visitors.

Transportation package tilts too much to transit At a total of $300 a year for transit (by car owners) and $100 a year for congestion relief, the current state transportation proposal outrageously tilts to the transit side once again. Rep. Judy Clibborn’s bill includes a 10 cent gas tax increase and a 1.5 percent MVET for King County METRO. For perspective, if a two-car family drives 12,000 miles in a $10,000 vehicle at 24 mpg, they
would purchase 1,000 gallons of fuel. That would be a $100 increase for the gas tax and $300 for the MVET per year. Per PSRC’s data, cars carry 88 percent of the people and transit carries 3.6 percent of the daily trips (mostly buses on roads) and transit already gets more than half of all transportation taxes collected in the region. This, when King County METRO is rated as one of the most productive and effective bus transit systems in our country and our congestion is the 10th worst. At $00 bucks for transit (0.5 percent MVET), there would be “balance” in this bill if usage is ignored. Based on usage, transit should get $3.93 from the bill, or 0.02 percent MVET. A “Sound Transit-like” MVET rate of 0.3 percent for METRO might be reasonable, but 1.5 percent is outrageous.

QFC Supports the Boys and Girls Clubs of Washington At QFC, youth are an important part of our company. Our school-age courtesy clerks help keep our checkstands running smoothly and efficiently, make sure our floors and restrooms remain clean and inviting and, most importantly they develop friendly, helpful relationships with our customers. Many of the leaders in our stores and offices began their careers in the grocery business as courtesy clerks. The young people of today are the future leaders of tomorrow and that is why QFC is proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington as our charity of the month in June. Every young person deserves an opportunity to develop their potential to be a responsible, productive adult. Unfortunately, many young people don’t get the support and encouragement they need in their home life. That’s where Boys & Girls Clubs can make a difference. The mission of the clubs is to help
these young people to realize their full potential on the path to adulthood. The clubs provide youth from under 5 to 18 years of age a safe place to learn and grow, develop relationships with caring adult professionals, participate in life enhancing programs, and have character development experiences to gain hope and opportunity. The clubs are open after school and during the summer for the children in the communities they serve. They offer a variety of programs in the areas of leadership, education and career, the arts, health and life skills, sports, fitness and recreation and other specialized programs. Clubs are community-based and building-centered and are staffed by trained, paid youth-development professionals. Studies have found that youth involved long-term in Boys & Girls Clubs stay in school more often and have better grades and fewer con-
tacts with law enforcement than peers in similar circumstances. Many alumni of the program have credited it with saving their lives, improving their selfconfidence, graduating from high school and positively influencing their choices about drugs and alcohol. Each year local clubs choose a member as their Youth of the Year. Those youth from across the state share their life changing experiences at an annual dinner and also serve as representatives for their clubs to the communities at large. Youth of the Year participants also receive college scholarships and the op-
portunity to compete for national honors and scholarships. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington consists of 19 independent member organizations, each with its own board of directors, funding and staffing. These organizations serve over 79,000 Club members in 147 community locations. QFC invites you to contribute to the this worthy organization that is making a difference in the lives of so many of our young people. You can make a donation at any checkstand. Thank you for your support. Paid Adver tisement

Bellevue College program seeks Business Roundup Albee to head Estate Council to close ‘skills gap’ in region
Businesses and business people making news
Bellevue College is working to close the “skills gap” that exists in the region by stepping up its engagement with the business community. The effort is a response to positions at area businesses going unfilled due to a lack of qualified workers. “Companies rely on talent to grow and thrive, and our goal is to form close relationships with businesses so we can better understand what their needs are,” said BC President David L. Rule. “We can then develop programs that will provide the education and
training that our students need to fill those jobs.” BC offers an applied bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Information Technology that was developed specifically in response to demand from area healthcare providers who are making the switch to digital records. A new degree in IT, launching this fall, also came about based on key industry feedback. With an eye toward cultivating more extensive partnerships with the business community, Continuing

Election Roundup
JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTS WIN TOP AWARD
What candidates are doing, saying
■ Alex Morcos has filed for Position 7 on the Medina City Council. He is unopposed and he will be elected in the November general election. Morcos has served on the Medina Planning Commission for three years and serves as the Vice-Chair. Morcos moved to the Eastside from France in 1991 to join the Microsoft International team. He grew up in Beirut, Lebanon and is fluent in three languages. He later retired from Microsoft and started a commercial real estate business on the Eastside. He and family moved to Medina twelve years ago. His wife, Nayla, is a graphic designer. Their son, Najib, graduated from University of Washington in 2006 and works for T-Mobile in the Factoria headquarters. ■ Jennifer Garone has filed to run for the Medina City Council. She is challenging incumbent Patrick Boyd for Position 5. The race won't be on the Primary ballot as both candidates automatically advance to the General election. Garone is a member of the Medina Planning Commission. She also has headed up the Medina Elementary School Newcomer’s Committee in 2011 and 2012 and has been a parent advisor for the Bellevue High School class of 2016. Garone works at Microsoft as a Principal Privacy Strategist in the IT group and has been with the company for five years. In
2012 she received the Microsoft Engineering Excellence privacy award. “I want to be a part of a council that works tirelessly in a professional manner to reflect the views of the citizens of our city," Garone said in a statement. "We have invested our time and energy to make Medina our home and, if you put me on the City Council, I will never forget that what is good for the city is what the city residents want.” Garone is married and has two children.

He said he would begin by working for more open and two-way communications between the residents and the council. If elected, Girardot said his independence, assertive, communicative nature and willingness to research and push for answers relating to complex issues will be an asset to Medina residents.

■ Bill Hirt will run for Bellevue City Council against incumbent Kevin Wallace for Position 4. Hirt ran last fall in the 48th District legislative race, losing to State Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina). Hirt is a retired engineer who worked for Boeing for 36 years. For the last year he has been blogging about his concerns over the East Link lightrail alignment. Hirt said he hoped to use the campaign as another opportunity to challenge Sound Transit. "The council’s East Link agreement with Sound Transit is not only bad for Bellevue, but also the entire Eastside," Hirt said. Hirt maintains that transportation officials could have added lanes to the I-90 Bridge outer roadways and initiated bus rapid transit on the center roadway, producing ten times the capacity of light rail at a fraction of the light-rail cost.

Newport, Interlake complete historic seasons at state
(Top) Bridget Raftery steals second during her team’s win over Emerald Ridge; (Left) Sarah Stochel celebrates a home run; Pitcher Kat Wood was key in the circle all year. Courtesy Photos
A pair of Bellevue teams finished historic softball seasons at the state tournament, as Newport downed previously unbeaten and top-ranked Emerald Ridge in 4A and Interlake won a pair of games in its first ever trip to state in Class 3A. The Knights lost the first game of the conference tournament before winning four straight loser-out games to keep their season alive. Pitcher Kat Wood and the Newport defense allowed only 11 runs in those four games, the last of which was a 5-4 win over Snohomish for the district’s final playoff berth. An Emerald Ridge team that entered the state field as the only remaining unbeaten team in 4A was waiting in Spokane and jumped to a 4-0 lead after two innings. But a five-run fifth inning and four more in the sixth lifted the Knights to a comeback win. Bridget Raftery knocked in three runs in that win and Indiana Coxey added two more to go with one each from Kaitlin Sahlinger, Madelyn Shelby and Sarah Stochel. A shot at the program’s first state title ended in the second game of the day against Richland in a 13-2 loss before the Knights rebounded with a pair of wins, 7-3 over Bellarmine Prep and 9-8 over Todd Beamer. KingCo foe Woodinville ended Newport’s season in a 13-2 game in the consolation bracket semi-finals.
Saints win pair at 3A tourney
Interlake, which made its first state tournament appearance of any kind in softball in Class 2A in 2012, was one of the top teams in 3A KingCo all season and backed it up with a run through the conference and district tournaments. A win over West Seattle in the Sea-King opener and another over Bainbridge later in the day sent the Saints to the tournament semi-finals and secured their spot at state. A semi-final loss to Holy Names followed, before a 14-4 win over Blanchet gave Interlake the third-place trophy. The Saints lost the first game at state, 5-2 to Enumclaw, before beating AuburnMountainview 8-7. Conference foe Juanita ended the Saints’ season in an 11-3 game. Coach Jesse Brown said earlier in the season he was pleased he was with the foundation laid over the past few seasons. “Every year is a growing experience,” he said. “You can see from our runs in the playoffs in recent years.” Pitcher Erin Scott, outfielder Devon Roth and Ashley Scott (as a utility player) were named First Team All-KingCo. Carly Pim was named to the second team as a first baseman and outfielder Victoria George also earned second team honors. Morgan McCaslin and Lauren Butrim were honorable mention selections for the Saints.

Eastside Story
What’s happening in nearby cities Issaquah: After three floods, the sinking of the I-90 bridge and 22 years of food, fun and camaraderie, Lombardi’s Italian restaurant in Issaquah is saying goodbye. A new city plan will allow multi-story buildings on the property and the landowners were not willing to sign a new lease with the restaurant. The owners still have restaurants in Everett and Mill Creek. They closed a Ballard restaurant in 2010. The Issaquah restaurant will close July 28. Kirkland: Spencer Goldstein was looking for a volunteer project as part of his bar mitzvah. The 13-year-old youth collected 400 baseballs, 126 baseball bats, 47 helmets, 46 pairs of gloves and 15 catcher’s masks, which the family plans to ship to under-
privileged youth who play baseball around the world. Spencer began collecting the items after he saw an ESPN story about how the Ugandan team at the Little League World Series last year practiced baseball with unfavorable circumstances such as dirt fields, cracked baseball bats or no gloves and catcher’s gear. Kirkland: A Lake Washington High School teacher is on paid administrative leave after being accused of duct taping a male student to his class chair on May 29. School officials learned of the incident after another teacher overheard the male student talking about what happened to him. North Bend: The owners of the movie theater in town are using the internet to raise money for a digital projector to show films. The theater's owners have been told that holiday movies this year will no longer be released on film. The fundraising effort, called crowdfunding, gives people rewards for donating to help buy the new equipment, which costs $100,000. Those who wish to help can go to http://www.gofundme.com/2b5f9c.
of Southeast 32nd Street and 78th Avenue Southeast. The Council vote was 5 to 1. Snoqualmie: Lumberjack David Moses will compete in the Stihl Timbersports U.S. Championship from June 7-9, going head-to-head against the top lumberjack athletes in the country for the coveted U.S. Champion title, a brand new Ram Truck and the opportunity to represent the U.S. in the World Championship in Stuttgart, Germany, this fall. The competition will be streamed live online at stihltimbersports.us and is being filmed by Outdoor Channel cameras to air this summer. Redmond: Hopelink has launched its annual End Summer Hunger campaign to feed local kids. The campaign is designed to make sure that local kids in low-income families have enough to eat while they’re on
summer break. Hopelink has locations in Bellevue, Kirkland/Northshore, Redmond, Shoreline and Snoqualmie Valley. More information on how to help is available by contacting Emily DeWitt at edewitt@hopelink.org or visit: http://www.hope-link.org/ take_action/end_summer_hunger. Redmond: After almost 12 hours of work May 28, crews from eight different agencies successfully and safely rescued a 4-year-old fjord pony from the bottom of a 70-foot ravine outside of Redmond. Crews used about eight different rope-and-pulley systems at various tiers and heights for leverage to pull the 800-pound horse up the cliff and hill. About 60 emergency workers were involved.

Bellevue man charged with trafficking firearms to Thailand Bellevue resident Nares Lekhakul, 36, and his brother, Naris Lekhakul, 42, of Thailand, appeared in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Monday afternoon for their involvement in a web of illegally trafficked firearms to Thailand. The brothers and four others from Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Berkeley, Calif., are believed to have made more than 250 shipments of firearm components to the country, beginning as early as 2011. According to charging papers, the six indicted did not obtain appropriate licenses to make the shipments, using instead fake labels and names to transport the items. Magazines for .45 caliber handguns, for instance, were labeled “replacement springs and metal caps for bottling machine.”

BLOOD CLOTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
A different tube is connected to the suction device and to the patient. The device is inserted into tubes already in the patient. The size of tubing becomes progressively smaller in circumference to fit within the increasing smaller vein size closer to the head. Once the end of the device’s sheath has reached past the blood clot, the device is deployed out of the sheath and opens up slowly, trapping the blood clot into its pockets. After waiting for the clot to stick in the device, the doctor would turn on the suction device and the blood is sucked out. This allows blood flow to return quicker than traditional devices because of the use of a stent, a scaffolding to open up the clot, resulting in oxygen reaching the brain sooner. “We always want to improve our safety and make safety the prime concern,” Chowdhary said. “If we can also improve the outcome by getting the blood clot out, fantastic. This stuff allows us to do that, which is great.” Data gathered from all three locations are sent to one central location and monitored as the results come in, per FDA safety regulations. The trial has started and could last one to two years depending on the results. If a stroke patient chooses to enter the trial, he or she will be randomly selected for traditional treatment or treatment by the Separator 3D. Each treatment will be administered to half of the patients.
The Separator 3D is shown here in a tube, serving as an example of a vein. CHRIS LOPAZE. UW News Lab Even with medical advancements, Chowdhary said increasing public awareness is the best thing for stroke care. Many people don’t actually believe a stroke is an emergency, he said, and hence don’t seek immediate care. “Time is brain,” Chowdhary said. “The more time you spend not coming into the hospital, the more brain that is lost.” He prefers to call it a “brain attack” in order for people to take it more seriously and not delay getting treated. “To stay on the cutting edge you have to do clinical trials,” Chowdhary said. “We have been a world class hospital and this is some of the stuff we’re doing to stay on the cutting edge.” Chris Lopaze is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

mit that Sound Transit staff and consultants will work in earnest, fairly and expeditiously, with all property owners throughout the acquisition process.” Concerns remain about certain aspects of the alignment and design, but many community members feel that a quicker turnaround would help preserve property values. First up are the Carriage Hills and Carriage Place condos. At the end of May, the Sound Transit board approved a motion to acquire all 41 units. The remaining 112th properties of the South Surrey Downs neighborhood would follow in June. As East Link design nears the 60 percent completion mark in late 2013 and early 2014, a more accurate image will appear of light rail's imprint on surrounding neighborhoods. Though it's likely to be refined in the coming months, environmental studies indicate there will be up to 161 full and partial property acquisitions, including up to 62 residential displacements and up to 90 business displacements. But even to get this far has been a grueling process. In 2010 as the city council and ST debated alignment options, Rodgers conducted an informal survey among his fellow residents. Eighteen of the 24 homeowners wanted to sell. Though Carriage Hills had been home since 2006, Rodgers recognized that a light rail alignment along 112th would dramatically change the quality of life in the neighborhood. “The train is coming and there's literally nothing we can do to stop it,” he says. “We decided we'd rather sell and leave, then sit through construction.” Rodgers considers himself and his fellow condo residents relatively lucky, but he explains that the burden of East Link began as early as 2008. Nobody has been able to sell at market price. “I know several owners that have wanted to sell since 2009, but can’t” he said. “That's a direct effect of the East Link project.” Rodgers also points out that more than half of the condo owners are retired. Many did not expect to have to move again. “You've got several people in their 80s and 90s that are going to have to move at a very inconvenient time in their lives,” says Rodgers. Rodgers is still unsure where he'll end up, though he and his wife have begun looking at places in Surrey Downs and other Bellevue neighborhoods.

Bellevue Neighborhood Match Program gets ‘make-over,’ grants increased to $10,000
Fifth graders gift new art to Puesta del Sol BY KEEGAN PROSSER BELLEVUE REPORTER
Each year, the fifth graders at Puesta del Sol in Bellevue present the school with a gift – a Legacy Art Project to remember them by. For those involved in this year's project, the experience of making the art may be just as memorable as the pieces they leave behind. The brain child of Art Appreciation Coordinator Huei Huang, this year's project is a series of 14 4x4 wood panels painted by the students. Called “Barn Quilt Squares," the idea for this installation came to Huang because of her appreciation for the community
experience of quilting. While other ideas were thrown around throughout the year, 5th Grade Art Gift Coordinator Patti McKnight said Huang's idea was the most feasible for the time restraints and costs involved. More than that, it was selected because organizers saw it as a beautiful way for the students to work together and create something really wonderful to leave with the school. In order to execute the project, the entire fifth grade class was separated into 14 teams – consisting of five or six students – who worked on the panels during recess over the past
three weeks. Each child who participated in the art project donated $10 for supplies, with additional supplies donated by Home Depot and the school. "Some kids had so much fun that they started to help with other teams," McKnight said. The art installation was presented to the school on Thursday, June 6, where the fifth graders saw, for the first time, all of the finished panels.

What could you do with $10,000 in your neighborhood? The city of Bellevue Neighborhood Match Program is getting a mini “make-over” this summer with changes such as the grant amount doubled from $5,000 to $10,000 per project, construction management process streamlined and another deadline being added. The program is expected to accomplish more neighborhood improvement projects through partnerships in the years to come. The Neighborhood Match Program is also the only neighborhood program that builds projects that are initiated by residents, and where matching funds are directly accessible by residents. City staff will provide assistance and guidance for permitting and construction management for neighborhoods. In addition to the March deadline, another deadline will be added in June to give neighborhoods another chance to submit applications. Neighborhoods also will be encouraged to partner with local business, schools and other organizations for their projects. The Neighborhood Match Program was created in the 1990s as a response to residents who requested small local projects to improve their neighborhood. The program provided matching grants up to $5,000 per project for small-scale neighborhood improvements. For every dollar awarded by the city, the applying neighborhood is required to provide an equal or greater match consisting of cash, professional services, building materials, and/or volunteer labor. Last year the program funded more than 30 small improvement projects. For more details about the program and its criteria, contact Program Manager Ying Carlson at 425-4524342 or ycarlson@bellevuewa.gov to discuss a project.

Bellevue has jumped into the top 2 percent nationwide for energy efficient buildings with a recent Energy Star award for city hall. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets the Energy Star criteria for different types of buildings. City Hall’s energy efficiency rating is now 98, up from 91 in 2010 due to retrofitting with energy efficient equipment and systems. Nora Johnson, director of the Civic Services Department, recognized two staff members in the facilities services division, Resource Conservation Manager Emma Johnson (no relation) and Operations Manager Earl Meldahl, for their contributions in making city hall more energy efficient.

Chance encounter grows into mission to help others Family faced hardships to build Mamma’s Hands
payment, and the first House of Hope was created. Over the next 15 years, adjoining properties came up for sale, and again, through the unexpected and generous donations of individuals, two additional homes were readied for women of domestic violence and their families. Jon Rands, a retired partner with Accenture and chairman of the board, explains that the House of Hope stops a chain of homelessness before it starts. “We are rehabilitating the women and getting them up and productive,” said Rands. When he joined the board, the goal was to increase the sustainability of the organization. An auction, now in its 18th year, is integral to keeping costs low. “It takes a lot help from other people, even now,” Rands explained, noting the Denny is theoretically on salary, but has rarely been able to take one. “To manage three homes, 15 acres, and interview all the families who want to come to the home is more than a full-time job.” Denny doesn’t complain. He points to a woman with casts on each leg watching a toddler. “Her ankle was broken when she arrived, and she didn’t even know she was being abused, because it had been in the family for generations," Denny said.
BY SARAH GERDES SPECIAL TO THE BELLEVUE REPORTER
“I have a small piece of paper on my computer that reads 'The answers to life’s biggest questions are not found on Google,'” said Denny Hancock, co-founder of Mamma’s Hands, a nonprofit that’s been serving those in crisis for 23 years. The irony is not lost on Hancock since it took a wake-up call of biblical proportions for him to have his own life-question posed to him. When he answered, it changed his life and the lives of hundreds of families. Hancock grew up in Mercer Island, fully expecting to fulfill his dreams of having a family, a large home and taking over his father’s business. “With all the wealth around me, I The Hancock’s and their children (who are now all grown).

App for tracking invasive mud snails nets award
A smartphone app that enables city staff to instantly report when they find a fast-spreading invasive snail in Bellevue streams has earned the city a national technology award. The Public Technology Institute, a Virginia-based organization that supports technology advancements in city and county government, has awarded the city a technology solutions award for sustainability for the mapping app. Bellevue’s Information Technology Department developed the app for the Utilities Department, which discovered New Zealand mud snails in Kelsey and Vasa creeks in 2012. These non-native snails pose a serious health threat to Bellevue’s aquatic ecosystem because of their ability to multiply rapidly and crowd out native invertebrates that fish and other aquatic life eat. Mud snails are hard to detect and track, highly invasive and very transportable to other streams via people, pets and equipment. With the new app, city workers in the field who find the
mud snails can now use their smartphones to enter data and photos instantly, instead of waiting until they return to the office. The information becomes live immediately, and is visible to any user who pulls up the free app. By clicking on a dot on a map, a viewer can see photos and learn when snails were sighted and how dense the snails are at a location. “It’s important for people to know where these invasive snails have been found because people are the most likely way they get transported to new locations,” said Kit Paulsen, Utilities watershed planning supervisor. “The snails get stuck anywhere that mud can cling – in your shoes and clothes or between the toes of your dog. If that mud falls off in a damp area when you get out at home or at a park, then the snail can live and reproduce.” Bellevue is hoping the new app will be used as a regional tool, and has given editing rights to employees at other local agencies.

...obituaries Beverly Davidson Olson Doxon Beverly Doxon of Bellevue passed away suddenly, but peacefully, at Overlake Hospital on February 5, 2013, with her daughter, Tori, by her side. She was born Beverly Ann Davidson on June 26, 1925, in Hoquiam, WA, to Tory and Martha Davidson. Growing up in Auburn and spending summers on Anderson Island, she graduated from Auburn High School in 1943 and then attended Whitman College. In 1945 she married LeRoy (Ole) Olson. The couple resided in Auburn until 1957 when they moved to Mercer Island, and later to Bellevue in 1974. Beverly and Ole remained close to many friends in Auburn throughout their lives. Ole died in 1995 just months before their 50th Wedding Anniversary. In 2001, Beverly married Myron Doxon, a longtime family friend. He has resided at Emeritus Memory Care Center in Bellevue since 2011. Beverly is fondly remembered by residents of Mercer Island where, for almost 40 years, she was a friendly face at Look’s Pharmacy. She worked there continuously from 1961 and retired when the store closed. Friends and family would agree that Beverly was youthful in spirit, and in her attitude and actions for all of her 87 years on earth. Her love for her family and her constant smile and laughter live on in their hearts. Beverly is survived by her husband, Myron Doxon; her daughter, Tori Olson (Bellevue, WA); her granddaughter, Amanda Steinvall (Eugene, OR); Amanda’s sister, Charmaine Steinvall (Maple Valley, WA) and their father, Gary Steinvall (Newcastle, WA). Private services are pending. Beverly’s wish was to be cremated and her ashes scattered at Cannon Beach, OR, her favorite place in the world. Her family will honor those wishes later this summer. She would be touched if remembrances by friends be made to their favorite charity in her name. Memories of Beverly may be shared and photos viewed at the Sunset Hills Funeral Home website: www.sunsethillsfuneralhome.com. For information, contact: Tori Olson@ 206-909-0149.
Eastside Heritage Center’s oral history collection contains almost 200 interviews. In the following excerpt from her oral history (edited for clarity) Helen Bennett Johnston describes how she and her siblings traveled to school at Phantom Lake around 1918. Helen: We were not actually in the Highland School District. We were just outside of it. The Highland School District served a surrounding territory of two miles, north, south, east and west. We were beyond the 2-mile limit. The school board decided we should have transportation. So my father was paid to provide a horse and wagon to deliver us to school. We rode in the wagon the first year. The next two years we rode horseback. Part of the time my brother rode his bicycle, and part of the time he rode the other horse we had until the horse shied at the gate of the school, threw him off, and broke his arm. We had a Western saddle and my sister sat in it. There was a horn in front of her, on which was hung a sack of hay, for the horse. There were two handles at the back of the saddle and I sat behind the saddle, supposedly holding on with the two handles, my feet sticking out straight. But I also had to carry the lunch buckets, and hold the umbrella. So it was kind of a precarious position to be in. However the horse never went beyond a slow walk. Interviewer: Did you put the umbrella up while you were riding the horse? Helen: Oh indeed, because it was raining, often. But the horse went at a slow pace and she had to stop at the top of the hill to have a drink of water, and then she had to stop at the next creek to have another drink of water, and it took a long time to go to school. Coming home was much easier, because we didn’t have so much hay, the lunch buckets were empty, and we went a good deal faster. But it was hazardous, to the extent that other children went part of the way with us, and invariably threw rocks at the horse to make it run, and it was difficult hanging on.

Italian artists visit BAM In celebration of current exhibit “Zoom: Italian Design and the Photography of Aldo and Marirosa Ballo,” the Bellevue Arts Museum hosted a symposium last weekend on Italian design, and the effect it’s had on design scenes around the world. Held at the museum on June 1, the Zoom Symposium brought together museum curators, design enthusiasts and a number of design professionals. The day-long event also featured presentations by Italian photographer Marirosa Ballo, and her brother, Oliviero Toscani. Marirosa Ballo, along with her late husband Aldo Ballo, played a pivotal role in securing worldwide appreciation and recognition for Italian design, through the images they created. Toscani is the creative force behind some of the world’s most successful brands including Esprit and Chanel. Toscani is also known for his controversial advertising campaigns for Italian clothing company United Colors of Benetton in the late 90s. “We invited them specifically for this symposium,” said Elizabeth Martin-Calder, director of strategic marketing & engagement for the museum. The morning portion of the symposium opened with presentations by museum curators Eileen Herbert and Nora Atkinson, as well as a joint presentation by Ballo and Stefano Catalani, director of art, craft and design for the museum. Topics covered included a history of the Ballos’ imagery and the importance role it played in showcasing Italian design of the 1950s and 60s. The afternoon portion included a panel focusing on Pacific Northwest design. The panel – featuring Paula Rees, principal and founder of Fore Seer; Charlie Schuck, photographer and founder of object design store; and Debby

Steiner, Publisher of LUXE PNW magazine – was titled “The Design of Synergy”. Moderated by Catalani, the discussion explored how different players within the world of design – planners, photographers and business people – work together to create a flourishing local design community. Rees said her role is to stand up for the people and work with cities around the world to make public spaces comfortable for the people living in them. “We have to look at public spaces and figure out what [people] really want,” Rees said. Schuck added his role as a design photographer is to share with others the importance and beauty of detail through the images he creates. “I fall in love with local designers based on the things they create,” said Seattle-based Schuck. “When you fall in love with [the items you are photographing], it’s easier to translate that energy to an audience.” Addressing the business aspect of design in the Pacific Northwest, Steiner talked about the success of LUXE, and it’s reputation as the most-circulated design-oriented magazine across the country. A transplant to the Pacific Northwest (she worked in Los Angeles and New York before relocating to Snohomish in 2007), Steiner also discussed the importance of honing in on the identity of the region in which you’re operating. The symposium concluded Saturday evening with Toscani’s presentation, “Power, Marketing, and Creativity.” Keegan Prosser: 425-453-4602 kprosser@bellevuereporter.com

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.
