Overlake Hospital and Group Health have partnered to provide a recently Food and Drug Administration approved heart surgery to patients of severe aortic valve stenosis. Tuesday morning, a team of nine physicians met to perform their sixth transcatheter aortic valve replacement on an 87-year-old man. He’s an energetic man and a dancer, but the narrowing of his heart valve has brought on symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain that, left unchecked, will mean the end of his
active life. “We certainly look for improving a patient’s length of life, but we also look at improving their quality of life,” said Dr. Scott Haugen, an interventional cardiologist from Group Health. Haugen is co-medical director of the transcatheter replacement program, with cardiologist Dr. Ronnier Aviles of Overlake. Aviles noted that, because of the advanced age of many of the candidates for transcatheter replacement, improved quality of life was of greater concern. “We have patients that have lived independently for their entire lives,” Aviles said. “(With the symptoms of stenosis,)

Two property tax levy renewals and one bond measure supporting the Bellevue School District got overwhelming support at the polls Tuesday. More than 70 percent of voters approved each measure. Nearly 20,500 ballots — 28.68 percent of the district's registered voters — were counted as of 4:13 p.m. Feb. 12. Proposition No. 1, authorizing the replacement of the district's Educational Programs and Operations Levy, was passing by 72.87 percent. The levy funds more than a quarter of the district budget, funding a third of teacher salaries, supporting art and music programs in elementary schools, world languages in middle schools, gifted and special education programs and seven-period days in middle and high schools. Proposition No. 2, authorizing the renewal of the Technology and Capital Projects Levy, was passing by 71.51 percent. The levy funds the replacement of aging technologies used in Bellevue schools, training for their use and improvements to existing buildings and facilities. Proposition No. 3, authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds for district capital construction projects, was passing by 72.25 percent. The bonds will help rebuild six elementary and middle school campuses, improve the International and Big Picture schools and improve and add capacity to Newport High School and Woodridge Elementary School. "I'm very excited," schools Superintendent Tim Mills said on election night. "But I think it demonstrates the level of support for education voters have in Bellevue." King County election results will continue to be updated as ballots come in. Results will be finalized Feb. 25.

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue city councilmembers passed an 11-year lease agreement for the Bellefield Building as a win-win on Monday, ensuring new digs for district court and probation services, as well as making way for a city park in Surrey Downs. While King County provides district court services in Bellevue through an interlocal agreement, the city must provide probation services and a place to house court services. The Surrey Downs location, built in the 1960s, is reported to require about $2.1 million in improvements to address code and life-safety issues, which led the council to adopt a 2013-14 budget that included relocation to another facility. The lease agreement commits the city to paying $6.7 million to Talon Portfolio Services, LLC, over a period of 11 years and includes three options for five-year lease renewals at the 114th Avenue Southeast property. Lease payments will be made from the city's operating funds. Among the new district court site's highlights are its easy access to bus stops, short walk to the South Bellevue Park and Ride, good distance from residences and adequate parking and space for court staff, said Max Jacobs, city real property manager. The city has $4.45 million budgeted for the capital improvement project to renovate the facility. However, Jacobs said it was important to make sure the lease included a significant contribution by the landlord to tenant improvements. Meeting specifics for a courtroom facility will be expensive, he said. It is unclear what the city's share of tenant improvements and capital costs will be until construction bids are completed. Councilmember John Chelminiak said there was a point where the city worried it

Bellevue Fire Department staff have deployed 29 new state-of-the-art automatic defibrillators to the city's fire trucks and medic units. The new defibrillators already have been used for victims of cardiac arrest in recent weeks. The new equipment is expected to boost Bellevue's cardiac arrest save rate, which at 57 percent is well above the national average, estimated in the 10 percent range.

Relocation of the district court will occur before spring, 2015. GOOGLE MAPS would have to move its district court service to Issaquah, and he is happy an option was found in Bellevue. "I think it's a win for the neighborhood, it's a win for the community in general," said Chelminiak, "and it's a win for the city, because we'll keep the court here and that's a critical urban city service." Relocating the district court and probation services must occur before spring 2015, when Sound Transit begins construction of its East Link light rail guideway there. The city purchased the property from the county for future use as a Surrey Downs park, which is still planned for construction. Sound Transit’s East Link alignment meant revising the 2009 master plan for the park to coexist in the same area. The city park board plans to approve the final plan on March 11 and then submit it to the City Council for approval. A presentation of the updated master plan can be found at this shortened link: http://bit. ly/1lx88Sm. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com
Start FR-3s are smaller, lighter and have improved software that can be customized by fire department staff as protocols change. The total replacement cost was approximately $115,000. The FR-3 identifies life-threatening rhythms, prepares to shock and delivers the needed energy quicker and more efficiently. It has been redesigned to provide better feedback to firefighters about the rate, depth and quality of CPR being performed. Other improvements include the ability to defibrillate children with the same pads as adults, and bluetooth capability that allows data to be transferred wirelessly for event review and data collection.

Bellevue to consider partnership on arts center
Beth Billington illington For all your Real Estate Needs
Custom Contemporary Montreux
BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue City Council on Monday approved a road map for potentially reaching a public-private partnership to construct the long-anticipated and underfunded Tateuchi Center to provide a venue for performing arts downtown. The 175,000-square-foot performing arts center, proposed to be constructed at the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast, is funded at $65 million to date, far shy of its $160 million goal. The largest contribution came from the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation, for which the center is now named. The Performing Arts Center Eastside board is now requesting the city enter a partnership with the organization to allow it to access public funding, However, councilmembers have only approved a process for determining whether such a joint venture is feasible. "There are some issues, some strings attached that come up with public funding," said Chris Salomone, director of planning and community development, in his presentation to council Monday. City Council approved moving forward under an outline that includes assessing the public and economic benefit of a performing arts center, city funding options, legal requirements of entering such a partnership, renewing public and private fundraising efforts, an extensive public feedback process and exploring a consortium of Eastside cities. Salomone said a legal study of issues surrounding a potential agreement with PACE
Inslee declares death penalty moratorium BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee declared a moratorium on capital punishment in the state Tuesday, essentially repealing the death penalty and granting nine death row inmates life sentences rather than execution for as long as his term as governor lasts. The governor said his decision is based off a review by his office of the status of capital punishment in Washington, including a tour of the state penitentiary in Walla Walla, where the death row inmates are appealing their sentences. “Equal justice under the law is the state’s primary responsibility. And in death penalty cases, I’m not convinced equal justice is being served,” said Inslee from a prepared statement Tuesday. A former proponent of capital punishment, Inslee called it a flawed system in Washington state and more costly than beneficial. He pointed out 32 defendants have been sentenced to die since the death penalty law was enacted in 1981, 60 percent of those having their sentences overturned.
could be concluded by July. Final results from the exploratory process and a preferred financial option could be provided by the end of 2014, he said. Councilmember John Stokes said it's been 41 years since the idea of a performing arts center in Bellevue first arose, and PACE has come the closest to accomplishing that goal. Stokes said it is important the performing arts center be a benefit to all city residents and that strong public involvement is emphasized throughout the exploratory process. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she was eased by King County Councilmember Jane Hague's announcement Monday that the county will support the city's efforts, but needs to know an Eastside performing arts center will involve regional support, "not in terms of cheerleading, but numbers, and how does this whole thing work." Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said a contribution by the city of Bellevue of public funds for a performing arts center should be decided by its residents, calling for such a measure to be ready for placement on November election ballots to avoid the cost of a special election later.

Inslee said the cost of prosecuting a capital case outweighs the cost of incarcerating a defendant for life, as well as the future costs associated with appeals by death row inmates. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson was quick to issue a response to the governor’s decision. “Washington’s Constitution and state statutes grant the governor significant powers over the fate of individuals sentenced to death,” Ferguson said in his statement. “Consequently, the governor has the authority to hit the ‘pause’ button for executions in Washington.” Of the nine death-row inmates challenging their convictions, Ferguson said his office is handling four in federal court. “Consistent with the governor’s announcement, the Office of the Attorney General will continue to defend the state against cases brought by death row inmates challenging their convictions and sentences,” Ferguson said. King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg issued his own statement calling for an informed public debate where the people of Washington would eventually decide whether to keep capital punishment in the state. “The legal implications of the governor’s ‘reprieve policy’ appear limited; our law remains unchanged,” Satterberg states. “In the short term, it is likely to cause more delay, expense and uncertainty. A moratorium alone will not resolve the issues raised by the governor.”

CVS pharmacy takes strong step against tobacco’s deadly grip
M
ore and more, pharmacies are integrating themselves into the healthcare business, many by providing in-store clinics to customers. It’s a good move that should make it easier for people to get immunization, see about a sore throat or take care of other straight-forward medical issues. Now comes news that CVS pharmacy will stop selling tobacco products by October. It’s a move that more pharmacies — and other retailers — should take to improve the nation’s health. Tobacco products, after all, are linked to particularly deadly forms of cancer. It’s possible that this move will cost CVS money. But how can a pharmacy that provides an in-store health care clinic not do this if it’s serious about their customers’ health? Perhaps that’s why the American Public Health Association called it a “historic decision,” and the American Association of Cancer Research called it a “visionary move.” Other pharmacy chains, both local and national, are adding clinics to their stores. They should follow the lead of CVS and put their customers’ health first. Who will be next?

Imagine Overlake: Coming soon
O
verlake is a shopping district adjoining Bellevue and Redmond neighborhoods that will be transformed over the next decade. Although Redmond is planning much of what will become the Overlake Village light-rail station area, developments in this community-to-be will be key to east Bellevue’s future as well. Did you know Sound Transit’s East Link station In Overlake Village will connect surrounding Bellevue neighborhoods to Seattle and connections north and south? This includes neighborhoods able to access the Overlake Village station from the north using a new bicycle/pedestrian bridge over Tom Hinman state Route 520. Did you know the new Overlake Village Park is only the first of three parks to be developed in Overlake in the next 20 years? This park will be the centerpiece of the former Group Health hospital site, but eventually more than nine acres of parkland will be built in Overlake that residents of adjoining Bel-Red neighborhoods can also enjoy. Did you know that Bellevue and Redmond planners met for two years to develop strategies getting the most benefit from East Link’s Bel-Red extension? Proposed collaborative approaches emerged that should help both Bellevue and Redmond grow transit-oriented communities in that corridor.
?
Question of the week:
“Do you agree with Gov. Inslee’s decision for a moratorium on the death penalty?”
Finally, did you know that South Lake Union — Seattle’s newest community emerging amid a lot of buzz — could be a template of all that Overlake could be on a somewhat smaller scale? In South Lake Union, a partnership has been created between city planners, developers and the “Friends and Neighbors of South Lake Union” — a proactive, multistakeholder community council recognizing the value of collaborative efforts around urban form, housing, transportation and economic development. We might all benefit from South Lake Union’s example. In thinking about Overlake, a vision of the broader neighborhood is helpful. As urban centers in downtown Bellevue and Redmond have shown, it takes multiple focal points to make a community desirable and livable. In the years ahead, there will be opportunities to add character to Overlake. But it takes a community to make such a place livable by adding a human dimension to the built environment under development. Get in on the ground floor now to plan Overlake’s future and establish a framework for what we’d like to see as that district is transformed. Imagine Overlake is launching that “Friends and Neighbors” process with a community information meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. March 10 at the Redmond Library. More details will follow, but meantime, let imagineoverlake@gmail.com know of your interest or questions.

LETTERS
Committed to gun safety After reading a recent letter to the editor from Cy Baumgartner regarding Initiative 594, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my commitment to common-sense gun safety laws in Washington. During the 2013 legislative session I co-sponsored a similar piece of legislation (http://1.usa.gov/1lFlDPT) that would have added universal background checks for firearm sales and transfers. While slightly different in implementation, Initiative 594 also would require universal background checks and will be presented to the Legislature for action during the upcoming session that began Jan. 13. Unfortunately, during the 2013 session members of the state House of Representatives failed to hold a vote on a background check bill, keeping it from possibly moving forward toward becoming law. This past August I also enjoyed the opportunity to gather with members of our community and the group Moms Demand Action at Mercerdale Park on Mercer Island to support universal background check legislation for firearms. Thank you Cy for your letter. As always it is a great honor to serve our community in the Washington state Senate.

Bush much worse on vacations In his Jan. 17 letter ("Needless expense by Obamas"), Mr. Brickman chides the Obamas as "really milking the system for as much as they can get out of it while in the White House." I'd ask Mr. Brickman to consider the following facts: During two terms as president, George W. Bush spent all or part of 487 days at Camp David on retreats and made 77 trips to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he spent all or part of 490 days. The total number of days of vacation or retreat President Bush took while in office over a period of eight years was 977 days, or 32 percent of his total time in office. And that doesn't even include his time at his parents' compound in Maine, which would bring the total to a whopping 1,020 days. Some historians point out that W took more vacation days than any president since Herbert Hoover and that he spent more time away from office than JFK spent in office. Getting back to our more recent presidents, the number of vacations days per term are as follows: Reagan - 242; George HW Bush - 543; Clinton - 76; George W Bush 510; Obama (term 1) - 131. The facts speak for themselves.

Help needed to combat disease
D
iabetes and obesity are two epidemics that our country faces today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in the United States there are currently 26 million individuals (more than 8 percent of the population) over 20 years of age who have diabetes. Further, another 79 million have prediabetes, a high-risk condition for the subsequent development of diabetes. Prediabetes is characterized by glucose levels that are above normal, but have not yet reached the threshold for the diagnosis of diabetes. Given that diabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure, blindness and decreased life expectancy, the Steven Kahn National Institutes of Health (NIH) has been at the forefront in supporting studies that will inform us on how to prevent and treat Type 2 diabetes, the form of diabetes that is typically associated with being overweight and obesity. One of these studies, the Diabetes Prevention Program, demonstrated that it is possible to slow the progression from prediabetes to Type 2 diabetes using a lifestyle intervention or metformin, a medication that is frequently used to treat individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, what the prevention program also showed is that it not possible to prevent the development of diabetes in most individuals over time. Thus, more effective approaches are desperately needed. When treating patients with Type 2 diabetes, a number of different medications are available. While they all are effective in lowering glucose, their relative advantages and disadvantages have not been fully
compared. Such knowledge is key to guiding health care providers in choosing what glucose-lowering medication is optimal for their patients. To further advance our knowledge on how best to treat and prevent Type 2 diabetes, the NIH has again committed sizable resources to support clinical trials to combat this disease. Given the highly successful and informative partnership of the University of Washington and Seattle Veterans Affairs in diabetes research, residents of the Puget Sound region now have the opportunity to participate in two important studies that could go a long way to improving the health of our nation. The Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes (GRADE) Study will examine which is the best medication to add to lower glucose in patients who are taking metformin (www.gradestudy.org), while the Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Study will seek new and better ways to prevent the development of diabetes in those who are at increased risk by virtue of being overweight or obese (www.risestudy.org). Everyone in our community has a friend or relative who has been impacted by diabetes. In many instances, it may be us who have the disease or are at high risk. We now have the opportunity to help learn more about how to prevent and treat Type 2 diabetes. The time for action is now. Steven E. Kahn, M.D., is a professor of medicine and director, Diabetes Research Center at the University of Washington, VA Puget Sound Health Care System.

Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith shared with attendees of Bellevue Downtown Association’s 40th anniversary dinner Feb. 6 the behind-the-scenes moments that led up to announcing Satya Nadella as the software company’s next CEO before sharing an impassioned political message for lawmakers in Olympia. “It was on Monday that we put the finishing touches on his agreement. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon that he signed it. It was an agreement in which he was represented by one of the law firms in the room,” said Smith from inside Meydenbauer Center. He joked the company postponed making the announcement until Tuesday, assuming the news would be overshadowed by the first Super Bowl victory by the Seattle Seahawks. “It was Tuesday morning before we all went out to meet the employees, and I was backstage with (former CEO) Steve (Ballmer) and Satya, actually telling him at that moment the White House was on the phone and (senior advisor to the president) Valerie Jarrett was wanting to give her congratulations,” he said. Born in India, Nadella moved to Bellevue 22 years ago, making the Eastside city his longest point of residency, Smith said, encouraging attendees of the event to congratulate their neighbor in his new position. Smith waxed poetic about Seattle history, recalling efforts to connect Lake Union to Lake Washington and the SEE MICROSOFT, 8

Kemper Development has submitted revised plans for its Bellevue Square expansion at the southeast corner of the shopping center, which calls for two towers instead of three. Bordered by Bellevue Way to the east and Northeast Fourth Street to the south, the Bellevue Square project is part of the $1.2 billion expansion of Kemper Development’s Bellevue Collection, which includes adding a second Lincoln Square tower. The revised application filed last week requests design review approval for a threestory retail podium with two 17-story residential towers. The northern tower will be

triumph of the University of Washington men’s rowing team against strong adversity during the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany, before laying down some politics. While he appreciates the 60-day goal lawmakers have set to complete this legislative session, Smith said he’d prefer it if legislators stayed in Olympia until a transportation package is complete. A $170 million deficit holding back completion of the SR-520 bridge project was the impetus for Smith’s annoyance with the Legislature, having failed to pass a transportation plan last year over partisan differences. “As much as I appreciate what they do, I think the message should go from Bellevue to Olympia, ‘We love you guys, but please, do not come home,’ “ said Smith, “ ‘do not ask for our vote, do not ring our doorbell, do not ask us for political contributions until you do your job, complete your work, do what it takes to finish this bridge.” Washington and the Eastside should have loftier goals for establishing a generational legacy, Smith added, highlighting the strength of diversity as it relates to business. He used Nintendo of America’s
residential only while the southern tower will have 204 hotel rooms on the lower 11 levels, with a total of 239 residential units. The total square footage for the project is 766,579 with 266,856 square feet in the retail podium. A five-level underground parking structure is also included, which would raise parking spaces from 531 to 1,700. The Bellevue Square southeast corner parking garage and Oriental Rug Store will be demolished to make way for the project. The project also proposes a right turn lane from Bellevue Way to Northeast Fourth Street, with an estimated 462 new trips to occur in the area during nighttime peak hours. decision to base itself in Redmond as an example. “I’ll tell you this, diversity is our strength,” he said. “We need to bring more people to Bellevue and the Eastside.” Smith also called for a greater investment in higher education and a new model of international partnerships to do that. He said Washington state is in a good place to increase its emphasis on computer science in public schools, which is currently average. “And by average, I mean it’s pathetic,” he said, pointing at the low margin of Washington schools currently offering advanced placement computer science courses. While the Eastside appears to be a bastion for tech companies like Microsoft, Smith criticized the lack of funding from the state to support tourism since the economic downturn in 2008 while other states and cities have done the opposite. “At a time when people in California are talking about Silicon Valley, people in Utah are talking about the Silicon Slopes, people in New York are talking about Silicon Alley, people in London are talking about the Silicon Roundabout,” he said, “it is time for us to let the world know that we have the Silicon Sound.

resulting in a decrease of quality of life — from open cavity surgery. Calcification of aortic tissue, for example, can be so severe as to prevent its recovery from surgical breach. Such issues can be more common in elder patients, who have been typical of the team’s patients thus far. “Most people die within two years of a(n untreated) diagnosis,” O’Mara said. But transcatheter replacement requires no opening of the patient’s chest cavity and results in a faster recovery time. The surgical team nicks into an arterial pathway, at the groin or elsewhere, and runs an
intravenous line to the heart. A collapsed replacement valve is then run through the path and placed directly into the damaged valve, where the replacement expands and reopens the regular flow of blood. The procedure is only approved for severe symptomatic cases with a traditional surgery risk factor greater than 8 percent, O’Mara said. Tuesday’s surgery was complete in a matter of hours. X-ray monitors — one live feed and another capable of playback — showed the pathway the surgeon’s tubes had made to the patient’s heart. For much of the time, they appear as stray hairs in a gray abyss. Periodically the heart materialized on screen, briefly and ethereally, under the influence of medical dye. The specter
guides the team to the exact location of the damaged aortic valve, so their replacement expands where it should. A balloon valvuloplasty opened the valve. “This is gonna be it,” a voice said over the surgery room’s intercom. The lights went down and the team eyed the X-ray monitor. On screen, the replacement valve appeared as a constricted tube, traveling through the surgical sheath closer and closer to its destination. Then, the moment of truth. “In one fell swoop, we inflate the replacement valve inside the damaged valve,” Haugen said after the surgery. They counted off — one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand — and began the process of ensuring their suc-

cess. They noted leakage down the center of the valve — normal, O’Mara said — and were satisfied there was no paravalval leakage around its edges. The patient would need to be monitored after surgery, but if all went well, he would be able to walk out of the hospital in a matter of days, not weeks, Aviles said. Previous patients of successful replacement had experienced a marked improvement in their symptoms soon after the procedure. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is still in its early days, but Aviles said he expects medical research in Europe to advance the procedure. The next steps would include FDA approval of the procedure’s use in patients of only moderate risk for traditional surgery, he said.
Task force arrests 'Cyborg'/'Elephant Man' Bandit The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force arrested a 44-year-old North Everett man believed to be both the "Cyborg Bandit" and "Elephant Man Bandit" on Tuesday afternoon after allegedly catching him in the act of his latest bank robbery in Seattle's University District. Nicknamed the "Cyborg Bandit" for a distinctive cloth he wears over his face during the commission of robberies, and also a hooded sweatshirt and clear, latex gloves and the "Elephant Man Bandit" for wearing a shirt with eye holes over his head for others, the suspect is believed to have been responsible for as many as 30 bank robberies in King and Snohomish counties. He is believed to have robbed a Key Bank and Wells Fargo branch in Bellevue in September and December, respectively.
A news release states the Everett man was caught allegedly robbing the Key Bank on 25th Avenue Northeast around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday after task force investigators identified a "lone, white male" in a van suspected to have been used by the bandit allegedly driving around the bank two hours prior, possibly conducting surveillance. The man was allegedly observed putting on a mask and entering the building. The bank reported the robbery and officers were waiting outside when he exited the building. A search warrant was served on the alleged bandit's North Everett residence where authorities report sufficient evidence was collected to proceed with their investigation. The man is not being identified currently as he has not been formally charged.

Knights’ boys second in pool
Bellevue, Newport get titles, top seeds to Regionals BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue junior wreslter Christian Villani never had to look far when he needed an inspiring sports figure. While his peers practiced ally-oops as Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, or scored backyard touchdowns as local collegiate and professional greats from the gridiron, Villani’s dreams started much closer to home. “My brother is my idol,” Villani said of his older brother Josh, a multiple-time judo national champion. “I pretty much started the day I was born.” Both boys competed in judo tournaments as youngsters, and both found plenty of success. Josh won some two dozen national championships, while Christian has two national championships from his youth, and a host of state tournament placings in judo. He brought home a sub-regional wrestling championship at 145 pounds for Bellevue last weekend, punching his ticket to Saturday’s Regionals at Skyline with a technical fall win over Mount Si’s Riley Absher in the finals. Whenever he takes the wrestling mat for Bellevue, those judo roots are never far from his mind. “The different styles have really helped me out,” Villani said. “It was always hand-in-hand.” After capping his sophomore season with the program’s first state championship since 1978, Villani and assistant coach Kevin Bouwman believe this season can bring even greater returns. “The competitive edge is definitely there,” Bouwman said. “His work ethic is fantastic, he’s so effortless, so naturally and athletically gifted.” Despite growing immensely in his first two years on the
Bellevue junior Christian Villani (right) won a 3A state wrestling championship last year, and continues on his road back to the Tacoma Dome Saturday. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter prep mat, and owning a 3A state championship by virtue of his run through the 132 pound bracket last year, Villani said there is still plenty for him to learn. He said Bouwman has provided a strong technical element, with his mindset a constant ode to the brother and father who helped forge him as a competitor in judo. “All of this is not even me, it is the coaches and the people around me,” he said. “My dad and brother keep me grounded and humble.” Keeping his mind focused on the future and another state title is the challenge for Villani this year, and one Bouwman said he has met head-on, even despite a back injury that has limited his time on the mat. “I still have a lot to learn in everything I do,” Villani said. “I just want to wrestle one match at a time.”

Newport finished second at the KingCo Swim and Dive Championships Feb. 1 at the University of Washington, led by a win in the 200 yard free relay. Andrew Pana, Dave Markhervaks, James Campbell and Will Dittig swam a time of one minute, 29.95 seconds to finish just in front of Mercer Island and give the Knights their lone win on the day. Markhervaks was third in the 200 individual medley for Newport, with Dittig and Aaron Elhajj also in the A final of the event. Dittig also finished third in the 100 free, with Elhajj second in the 100 backstroke, just tenths of a second behind the winner from Issaquah. Oey Chang was third in the diving competition with a score of 376.75 in the finals. Campbell finished fourth in the 100 breaststroke. Bellevue junior Todd McCarthy won the 500 free in 4:45.25, an automatic state qualifying time, and helped the Wolverines to a third place finish in the 200 medley relay. He also finished second in the 50 free in 22.25, also in a state qualifying time. The Wolverines were third in the team scoring, behind champion Mercer Island and the Knights. Bellevue and Interlake swimmers will be at Mary Wayte Pool on Mercer Island for the Sea-King swim and dive meet Feb. 14 and 15, with a final chance to qualify for state. The prelims for the swim competition begins today at 4:30 p.m., with the finals slated for 5:30 Saturday. The dive meet takes place at Juanita High School at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Sammamish qualifiers to the 2A bi-district meet will swim for state spots at Fidalgo Pool in Anacortes Feb. 14 and 15, with competitors from district 1.

Legion of 12s shows for Hawks Fans from around the county, state and region swarmed Seattle Feb. 5 to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory for their beloved Seahawks since the franchise entered the NFL in 1976, creating a scene that will live in the minds and hearts of sports fans forever. Estimations varied on the number of people lining the Fourth Avenue parade route, inside the team’s home at CenturyLink Field and across the street inside Safeco Field, the home of the Mariners, with some totals approaching 700,000. Fans climbed on television vans, portable toilets and into trees to get a good look at the first team to bring a major sports championship back to the city since the now-departed Supersonics took the NBA crown in 1979. The celebration was truly an exhibition of community, with original season ticket holders alongside infants in strollers adorned in 12th Man regalia, and individuals of varying backgrounds spilling into the streets for the same reason: to cheer their Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. “We’ll be back again,” head coach Pete Carroll said after leading the crowd in a “Sea-Hawks” chant. “We’re just getting warmed up, if you know what I’m talking about.”

Newport gets title
Newport junior Albert Ballesteros won the title at 285 pounds, beating Inglemoor’s Mike Milcarek in the championship match to give the Knights their only title of the day. Junior Diego Dwyer also made this weekend’s Regional round, finishing second at 120 pounds after losing the title match to Skyline’s Nate Swanson. Bellevue Christian’s Brandon Pearson was second at 195 pounds in the Vikings’ 1A meet, losing by injury defeat in the finals. Senior Tate Razor was second at 220 and junior Daniel Young was also a second place finisher, falling in the title match at 285.
The Bellevue boys remained unbeaten in conference with a 58-41 win over Mount Si in the semi-finals Tuesday, and also faced Mercer Island with a KingCo title and top seed on the line Thursday at Bellevue College.

One team of Bellevue middle schoolers will move on to the National Science Bowl following a Jan. 25 regional competition win at the University of Portland. Science Infinity Club finished in first place after 17 rounds of questions on physics, energy, biology, astronomy, math, chemistry and Earth science. Neha Nagvekar, Dhruvik Parikh, Veenadhari Kollipara, Sagarika Samavedi and Rahul Chaliparambil will go to Washington, D.C. in April for the national competition, hosted by the Department of Energy. Xenon Science Group, also of Bellevue, took third place in the middle school competition. Team member Colin Tang was named one of seven regional all stars. Xenon’s team video, created and voiced by team captain Anirudh Prakash, won the Bowl’s Google SciClips Video contest. At the high school level, Interlake science teacher Michael O’Byrne took two teams to the competition, taking second and third place. “The final round was really tough,” O’Byrne said. “Interlake 1 was up at half way and a lucky guess was the breaking point. The kids are already talking about next year.”

Tracking the evolution of art in the crafts BY DANIEL NASH
Bellevue Arts Museum has received a $50,000 grant from The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to support an upcoming solo exhibition. “Fragile Fortress: The Art of Dan Webb” will display, from March 7 to June 15, a selection of the Pacific Northwest sculptor’s work. Webb is a 1991 graduate of Cornish College of the Arts. “Webb’s figurative sculptures have an emotional intensity rooted in their honesty,” said Stefano Catalani, the museum’s director of art, craft and design. “We are honored to have the support and partnership of the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation in sharing the work of this important artist with the greater Seattle area.”
‘The Unbound’ the opportunity to display the ASU exhibit, culled in part from the vast collection of craft pieces taken in by that museum’s late and former director Rudy Turk.

BAM receives $50,000 for Dan Webb exhibition
BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue Arts Museum is highlighting the work of artist craftsmen in a new exhibit imported from the Arizona State University Art Museum and its Ceramics Research Center. “Crafting a Continuum: Rethinking Contemporary Craft” is a comprehensive display of 60 installations in the field of craft. The exhibit’s breadth — in terms of time periods covered, media and aesthetic sensibility — is a testament to the challenge of how to concisely define craft as an artistic movement. As patrons enter the exhibit, they are confronted by “MM 342 (Tank Chair),” a 1979 Tom Eckert wood sculpture of a rocking chair supported by tank treads. The installation is illustrative of craft’s place in the world of art, between utility and fantasy. The museum’s second floor has been transformed into a microcosm of the movement’s progression. It’s a progression from practical-yet-decorative woodturned and ceramic vessels or furniture — what might be considered traditional craft — to items “very fully transformed from any kind of usefulness,” as local curator Nora Atkinson described one untitled David A. Rowe sculpture, a ship pieced together from found scraps of wood. Atkinson said she was excited to have

Thirty-nine artists have been chosen for Bellevue Arts Museum's biennial exhibition, opening in October. "BAM Biennial: Knock on Wood" is the third such exhibition by the museum and will feature art installations created in wood, "one of the most versatile media in the fields of art, craft and design," as described by a press release on the coming exhibit. The artists were selected from a
pool of 180 applicants by curating jurors from the BAM, the Arizona State University Art Museum, The Center for Art in Wood and Vulcan Inc, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's investment and project management company. A full list of the selected artists can be found on the Bellevue Arts Museum website. "The quality and scope of proposals selected by the jury embodies the deep-rooted economic and artistic connection of the region to this natu-

ral resource," BAM Director Stefano Catalani said. "(This exhibit) will evidence and celebrate wood's ability to 'speak' through the languages of art, craft and design." Cash prizes of $5,000 each will be awarded to two of the exhibiting artists. One artist will be offered a future solo exhibition at the museum. "Knock on Wood" will run from Oct. 31 to March 29, 2015. Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290;

“He had the foresight to realize the craft movement was really an art movement,” Atkinson said. “This show looks at where craft is going and where it has come from.” The earliest pieces — craft works from the 1950s and later, produced by artists such as ceramicist Peter Voulkos and woodturner Ed Moulthrop — are notable for their smooth and pristine perfection. Slightly later innovators embraced the beauty of imperfection through conscious bumps and breaks, while others began to explore craft materials’ sculptural limits. A Marilyn Levine piece initially appears to be an unremarkable pair of boots — that is, until the viewer realizes all but the shoelaces are ceramic. As the exhibit progresses, more contemporary pieces delve further into fine art. Highlights of the exhibit include the eerie fantasy realism of Yoshimasa Tsuchiya’s wood carved animal sculptures, and Mark Newport’s knitwork exploring the gender connotations of superheroism. “Crafting a Continuum” runs through April 27.

www.nw-ads.com NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.
