Bellevue considering banning recreational pot shops Attorney General’s opinion gives city council options BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Now that the Washington attorney general has put the option on the table, Bellevue councilmembers are consider-

ing whether to ban recreational marijuana businesses ahead of state-issued licenses. The matter came up Monday when the council met to expand an emergency ordinance regulating zoning for selling, processing and producing marijuana in Bellevue for another six months past the April 21 expiration date. Councilmembers expressed concern with the lack of public input on the process for the ordinance so far, despite 59

percent of voters approving Initiative 502 in 2012. One resident spoke during Monday’s public hearing for the extension, and his opinion was that the city should not let pot businesses into Bellevue. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson issued an opinion in January that state municipalities have the choice of banning recreational marijuana businesses within their local jurisdictions. This opin-

ion will not prevent the potential for legal action against cities that are doing so now or in the future. Councilmember Conrad Lee said he is troubled by the tolerant attitude the city has taken with its acceptance of recreational marijuana. Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said when the city was first dealing with the issue, a ban wasn’t considered an option. SEE POT SHOPS, 16

Youth theater a challenge for contractors Circular design, hillside calls for lots of figuring BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A flag waves atop the Bellevue Youth Theatre under construction near the Crossroads Community Cen-

ter. It's tradition to put something at the high point of a project, said Steve Kathman, project superintendent for Pease Construction — much like a climber on a summit. And in his 29 years in the business, Kathman says the 12,000-square-foot theater is his most challenging venture yet. Building segments of a circular design for the theater, being built into

the side of a hill, there are multiple radiuses and angles to consider. "Then you have flat walls in between," said Kathman. "It's a lot of intricate math." The $8.8-million theater construction project started last May and is funded by a $2 million match from

Bellevue city councilmembers want to take a closer look at the use of red light and school speed zone cameras before they consider extending a contract with American Traffic Solutions, or possibly shuttering the program entirely. Traffic enforcement cameras were authorized by the City Council in 2009, with two school speed zone cameras at Stevenson and Lake Hills elementary schools and red light cameras at the north- and southbound intersections of 148th Avenue Northeast and Bel-Red Road and southbound 148th Avenue Northeast and Main Street. In the four full years of operations for the photo enforcement program through an agreement with American Traffic Solutions the city reports a total decrease in infractions at targeted locations of 48 percent. However, some areas saw a spike. The city reports $1.2 million in revenue were collected by King County District Court in 2013, 65 percent of which is kept by the court pending reconciliation of its service contract with the city. Over the past several years, the city reports revenues have exceeded expenses. The fine per infraction is $124. Southbound 148th and Main infractions increased by 19 percent since the program's start, which the city reports may be attributed to redevelopment of the Kelsey Creek Shopping Center, where more drivers were making SEE CAMERAS, 16

Mark MacDonald knows the importance of heart health at any age, and paired that with his passion for educating children by documenting his participation in Swedish Medical Center's "Heart Surgeon for a Day" event. The east Bellevue resident operates Youth News Network, a before- and afterschool program that teaches kids how to research, develop and report news stories for educational television geared at their classmates and other students. MacDonald said he's now working with area schools to reach kids directly from their classrooms. "It's a blast teaching the kids," said MacDonald. "We've been developing that for a variety of different age levels." He said he was surprised to have been chosen out of the more than 200 who applied to be one of 15 people to attend Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute in Seattle on Feb. 26 to be a heart surgeon for a day. "You can imagine it's so difficult to get time to sit down with some cardiac surgeons or go behind the scenes of a real hospital," he said. MacDonald lacked the degrees and medical training to conduct any real heart surgeries that day, but received a presentation about the heart and the latest in surgical techniques being offered from Swedish surgeons, including Dr. Glenn Barnhart, executive director for cardiac surgical services. The presentation was followed by several interactive educational stations. "The first one I did was they had a pig's heart, a fresh pig heart," MacDonald said, "and you had to find the microvalve with your partner and then remove the old microvalve and fit a manufactured microvalve into place." MacDonald said his favorite part was having lunch with the surgeons. "I think that was probably the highlight for me, having these incredibly talented and busy people just really take time with

you, and they didn't have any agenda," he said. "They were just right in the moment and you could tell they are really intelligent and passionate about what they do, which is save lives." MacDonald was born several months early in 1964 and suffered from a prolapsed microvalve growing up. At 50, he said he's amazed at how the technology has improved and how poor diet and lack of exercise is still a big problem in the fight for heart health. Following his visit to Swedish, MacDonald posted a story about his time there to his website at youthnewsnetwork.org. He has also developed a Harvey the Heart mascot, which will be featured during the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary's eighth annual Bellevue Run on April 27.

Holi festival to color Bellevue BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Downtown Park will be bursting with colors and good cheer Saturday during CRY Seattle's sixth annual Holi festival and fundraiser to aid children in India. A Hindu festival of colors and love, Child Rights and You Seattle hosts the annual Holi event here to raise awareness about its projects, most of them in India but some in the U.S., while also celebrating one of the biggest and most well-known holidays in Indian culture. More than 800 people joined in at last year's celebration in Bellevue, where participants are given a pack of dry, organic paint with their tickets — more can be purchased — and can spend hours covering themselves, loved ones and strangers in it. "This year on our Facebook page we have 550 people coming," said Dheeraj Mehta, a CRY Seattle volunteer. "So, I'm expecting at least 800 people again this year. … It's a very friendly event, so anyone can join in at

any time. Even if you don't buy any colors, you're still welcome to join everybody else." The event runs noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and tickets are $15, with children under 12 getting in free. There will be a Bollywood DJ on hand, as well as food for purchase. Participants are encouraged to dress in white, said Mehta, because it represents how everyone is the same when they come in to the event, and then leave the same — covered in multi-colored paints. "This is actually a good reason to step out and celebrate the sunshine and dance to the Bollywood beats," he said. "Regardless of who you are, we embrace all." CRY Seattle hopes to raise $130,000 for its four projects, which involve reproductive and other health issues, child rights, education, agricultural issues like droughts and floods and tribal assistance.

EDITORIAL

Open the pot shops and bring back the cops

t should be a lively spring at Bellevue City Hall now that the City Council has decided to take up the issues of recreational pot shops and red light/speed cameras. Both are likely to push residents’ buttons. That already seems to be the case with some on the council. At first glance, the pot issue would seem to be the more surprising. After all, voters approved I-502 back in 2012, which legalized the use of recreational marijuana. We doubt Bellevue voters strayed far from that margin. In response, the council went about pondering just where legal pot shops could locate. Then state Attorney General Bob Ferguson opined that while the initiative gave cities the OK to allow pot shops, it didn’t’ say they had to. Now some on the council – we’re guessing they may have voted “no” on I-502 – are expressing their second thoughts. We agree that elected officials shouldn’t necessarily be slaves to a popular vote, but they do need to consider that their constituents made an informed decision. In the case of I-502, it was pretty clear. The issue of red light/speed cameras is a little different. Bellevue, like some other cities, installed several of these cameras on high-traffic arterials and near some school zones. The idea, of course, is to penalize motorists who don’t obey the rules: driving too fast or running red lights. The cameras may or may not be effective. At some sites, infractions are down, presumably meaning motorists are getting the word. However, at others, infractions are up, perhaps because construction projects funneled more cars through these intersections. What everyone agrees on is that the cameras make money for Bellevue – lots of it. We’ve always believed that the best deterrent to speeding or running red lights is a police officer on site with a radar gun and a ticket book at the ready. It costs the city more to do enforcement this way, but there’s no denying the feeling a person has when those red and blue lights begin to flash. Bottom line: let the pot shops open and bring back police officers to patrol those dangerous spots. Both would be good for the public. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Legislature

A nine-month breather for Inslee

o one could be happier to see state lawmakers wrap up and head home than Gov. Jay Inslee. They departed a week ago and won’t return until January 2015. That gives the rookie Democratic governor nine-plus months to get some work done without interruption or interference from those who’ve foiled him repeatedly since he arrived in Olympia. Inslee is still getting the hang of the give-and-take of the legislative process after two sessions. Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate are beginning to accept the congressman-turned-governor is a product of his past political life in Jerry Cornfield Washington, D.C. They’ve come to expect he’ll rail on Republicans when he considers them obstructing his path and cast no unkind words at Democrats when they thwart his wishes. As a result, his influence this session seemed muted on the most talked-about policy disputes like transportation, medical marijuana and revising the teacher evaluation system to secure a federal education waiver. Several lawmakers wrangling on the waiver matter shrugged at learning two days before the end of the legislative session, Inslee traveled to Snohomish County to

conduct his own closed-door talks on education — with second-graders. They didn’t know he wasn’t in town and didn’t seem to think it would have made a difference. Such an attitude underscores why Inslee is looking forward to not having lawmakers around for a few months. Ditto for his advisers who hope to capitalize on this opportunity to advance a mostly-stalled political agenda and leave his imprint on the state. To accomplish this, there is an expectation Inslee will rely on every available instrument of power and exercise every available ounce of authority allotted governors through the state constitution. He demonstrated a willingness to push the bounds in February when he declared a moratorium on use of the death penalty in Washington, putting an end to executions for at least as long as he holds office. In the coming months, it is anticipated he will issue a variety of executive orders to undertake new policies, practices and initiatives outside the reach of legislators. Already this year he’s signed noncontroversial ones creating a task force to boost the outdoor recreation industry and increasing the number of state employees working flexible hours and telecommuting.

The cat connection in my life

Time near to decide on Obamacare

ven if scientists have shown it takes more than six steps to connect any two people in the world, experience tells us that the small world factor is always at work. The day after my husband and I adopted our orange tabby, Gordon, from the Meow cat shelter, I heard from Janis, the woman who trapped him and cared for him until the shelter had space. Unbeknownst to us, Janis and I both retired from the Bellevue School District and when she learned that Gordon had moved from the shelter to a home she checked the adoption papers and recognized my name. I passed on this story to someone else I used to work with, who shared it with another former colleague, who knew the Ann Oxrieder trapper. These two people were connected through their volunteer work with the Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project. One cat – four human connections. Since the cat and his rescuer (also trapper, foster parent, and tamer), represented a new connection between me and my friends, I arranged to interview the woman who’d started the chain reaction.

Janis says that making sure all cats receive the services they need — spaying/neutering, blood tests and immunizations — is all in a day’s volunteer work. It involves housing cats in her garage and home for days and weeks. Gordon, who had been on the loose for a while, was in her care for a month, while she worked to make him adoptable. The recession has not made her job easier. When people walk away from foreclosed homes they often leave their pets behind, which means her volunteer job comes with plenty of pressure. “What I find most stressful is not knowing what to do with cats in some situations,” Janis said. Yet she persists. One example of success for Janis is finding a good home for a cat. I thank her and Gordon for being part of these small world connections. If Gordon could talk he’d tell her she’d done a good job, what with regular meals, toys to play with, room to roam around, and two laps to lie on. Come to think of it, Gordon can talk. The comment on his medical record was “most vocal award!” Maybe Janis also knows how to keep him quiet.

contracts or require state agencies to only purchase fuel with less carbon in it. Whether Inslee could make such moves or do anything close isn’t clear. He’s got nine-and-a-half months to explore the possibilities and many of his political opponents couldn’t be less happy about it.

March 31 is an important deadline because it marks the end of open enrollment. Barring special circumstances, if Washington residents miss this deadline, they’ll have to wait until Nov. 15, 2014 to enroll. Thanks to the act, the 85 percent of Washington residents who have insurance have more choices and stronger coverage than ever before. And for the 91 percent of Washington residents who don’t have insurance, or families and small businesses who buy their coverage but aren’t happy with it, they have through March 31 to enroll in new, more affordable plans through the Marketplace including Medicaid.

Increasing minimum wage: good

The proposed plan to increase the minimum wage in the United States to $9 an hour by 2015 and $10.10 an hour by 2016 would have more benefits for the country than detriments. However, the increase of minimum wage raises concerns for layoffs, with the Congressional Budget Office estimating that 0.03% off the workforce would be laid off. The CBO also estimates the increase would benefit 16.5 million lowincome employees, and bring 900,000 people out of poverty. When weighing the pros and cons of increasing minimum wages, there are far more advantages to increasing the wages.

Bellevue skyline rates still one of nation’s highest BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Real estate investment firm Jones Lang LaSalle reports Bellevue’s skyline market has recorded its second highest year-overyear increase in rental rates, coming in second in the nation for rental increases

behind San Francisco. Skyline sales in Bellevue were recorded at $2.9 billion since 2005. However, no sales were recorded in 2013, which JLL states was a year focused on land and development acquisitions. The skyline direct vacancy in 2013 dropped to 3.9 percent in Bellevue, the lowest direct va-

cancy among the 43 city skylines tracked by JLL. Due in part to its low vacancy rates, rents stand currently at $41.49 per square foot, which is a 9.2 percent year-over-year increase — the second-highest, with San Francisco in first place. “While no Bellevue Skyline build-

ings traded hands in 2013, rising rental rates have pushed up values,” said Steve Schwartz, managing director at JLL, in a news release. “There is an abundance of capital seeking real estate assets and Bellevue’s very strong market fundamentals will increase investor interest and continue to push cap rates down.”

Youth Theatre Northwest is looking for a new home. The theater, which has leased property from the Mercer Island School District for the past 30 years, needs to vacate the space to make way for a new elementary school that will be built on the site. The theater is seeking a temporary home for the next 3-5 years. The theater’s long term vision is for a permanent home in Mercer Island’s Town Center.

Tackling the trials of puberty on stage Youth Theatre Northwest ventures into mature territory in rock musical ‘Spring Awakening’ BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER

The latest production by Youth Theatre Northwest’s Teen Conservatory has ventured into previously unexplored territories of mature content. The theater is no stranger to subjects of controversy and cultural relevance to youth — it opened the current season with October’s “I’m/migration,” a performance festival on the youth experience with race, geopolitics and socioeconomics. But “Spring Awakening,” which opened a three-weekend run March 14 at the Mercer Islandbased theater, is notable for both its critical acclaim and its unflinching examination of teenage sexuality and angst. “So many teenagers came to me and asked me to consider (it) and I said no to them many, many times,” Director Mimi Katano said in an interview released online by the theater. “I was

familiar with the music — and I liked the music quite a bit — but I really needed to read the script to understand what (it) was about. When I read it, I realized that there were so many issues that were really relevant and (that there was) a lot of educational opportunity both in acting and just in life. It fit into our philosophy

and I felt very strongly about that.” The Broadway production of “Spring Awakening” won eight Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Original Score for Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik and Best Musical. It was likewise well-received by audiences and broke SEE SPRING, 10

even inside of a year. The musical was adapted from the German coming-of-age play of the same name. Franz Wedekind’s script was frank in its depictions of teenage sexuality and harshly critical of the deviancies the playwright believed resulted from a sexually oppressed culture. Though written in 1891, “Frühlings Erwachen” took 15 years to premiere and was frequently banned or presented in censored form. Sater and Sheik began work on a “Spring Awakening” musical in 1999 and off-Broadway and Broadway productions premiered in 2006, earning near universal critical acclaim. The story primarily follows the characters of Wendla, Melchior and Moritz — here played by Kylie Fletcher, Noah Davenport and Ashton Herrild. Wendla yearns to know the truth about where babies come from, but she’s left ignorant by her mother’s bashfulness. Moritz likewise has no inkling of the cause of the stirrings within him, and his distraction puts him on the precipice of expulsion from school. Classmate Melchior is self assured, well-liked by girls and is proud of his academic understanding of sex — but lacks an emotional understanding of the same, and barely understands the concept of consequence.

Andy Kindler and the state of comedy career fortunes. (“I don’t wanna get too huge. I make sure I’m a renter, to keep myself below the radar, to be the enfant terrible — whatever that means.”) On Friday, March 21, and again the following night, Kindler will deliver jokes in his typically plaintive, nebbish style; his stage demeanor is that of a nervous Long Island dentist who can’t find his car keys. In one bit, he says he’s too insecure to stay at an extended-stay hotel. In another joke, he wonders why the Real Housewives franchise has a website where viewers can learn more about the show. Kindler asks, “Is there an area of the Internet where I can go to learn less about the Real Housewives?” Kindler will appear at Laughs Comedy Spot, 12099 124th Ave. N.E., Kirkland, 425-823-6306, laughscomedy.com. $15. 8 & 10 p.m.

Nobody likes to be called a veteran in comedy — at least not until after they’re dead. So let’s just say Andy Kindler has been around: Performing stand-up in clubs, on Comedy Central and the late night television circuit, along with sitcom gigs and whatever else he gets his nose into. Kindler is very much a part of the industry, but he’s also a surprisingly caustic critic of the industry, the enemy of hacks everywhere. He’s renowned for his state-of-the-business tirades at Montreal’s annual Just for Laughs festival (held every July, and a great reason to visit that city). Begun in 1996, these speeches are an occasion to bash Dane Cook, of course, but also to mock his own

Philharmonic reborn as Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra BY GABRIELLE NOMURA SPECIAL FOR THE REPORTER

When describing the dramatic comeback of the Eastside’s only professional orchestra, Bellevue Philharmonic, Michael Miropolsky doesn’t mince words. “You simply don’t see orchestras come back from the dead; this hardly ever happens in the music business,” said Miropolsky, an accomplished violinist and conductor. Since 1967, Bellevue Philharmonic had been connecting audience members with classical repertoire and professional, highcaliber musicianship. Many of the artists also played for Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle Symphony and other regional groups. When the economic downturn forced Bellevue Philharmonic to close its doors in 2011, Eastsiders thought they had lost one of their community jewels. “The Eastside has its own cultural identity. Every cultural center needs its own orchestra without having to cross over a bridge,” said Martha Garrett, a violinist who got involved with the group in the early 2000s. At the time, she said, local musicians viewed the Philharmonic as “the next big thing.” From the passion of musicians like Garrett and Miropolsky, and the persistence of dedicated music lovers and community members, miracles can happen.

Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra Almost three years after imploding, the group did indeed “come back from the dead” and with a spiffy new name, Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra. Led by Miropolsky as artistic director, the musicians handle both performing and administrative responsibilities with a new artist-driven model. While this means many long hours of what is essentially volunteer work for some of the people involved, Miropolsky said the structure is a much better fit. “The managers know the business from the inside out,” he said. The group gave its inaugural performance March 9 at Lake Washington High School’s Performing Arts Center, treating roughly 250 jubilant audience members to the works of Strauss, Alfvén, Bizet and Rimsky-Korsakov.

“The musicians played with such great energy,” Miropolsky said. “That’s what makes the music. I can’t believe they pulled it off in only three rehearsals.” It felt incredible, Garrett said, to sit down on stage with violin in hand and perform once again for many of the people who had made the original orchestra so beloved. She hopes that the company will only continue to grow, adding additional concerts each year. To jump start that goal, the organization will hold a fundraiser event, The Symphony of Gardens, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 29. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour

“all-star” gardens in Medina, Clyde Hall, Hunts Point and Kirkland with live music provided by the orchestra. Tickets are available via brownpapertickets.com, where the event is listed as “Symphony of the Gardens.” Garrett said the musicians are overjoyed to be back, and grateful to all who have stepped forward to support the group in some way. “It’s been overwhelming,” she said. “At our inaugural concert, we were floating on air.” Gabrielle Nomura is a freelance writer. She lives in Seattle.

Spring underway for preps BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

The spring sports season is underway and brings a host of conference and state championship contenders into the fold from Bellevue.

Who emerges on KingCo baseball diamond?

No prep baseball team from Bellevue made it out of the conference tournament last season, with Newport outside the top four in the division, and not part of the 4A KingCo tourney. The Knights look to alum and longtime assistant Brad Files to take over a program he said has been built to withstand minor setbacks such as the past two seasons. “We’ve had some down years here in the past,” he said. “We’ve always rebounded.” With only six seniors, Files said a host of young arms will have to help carry the Knights, which they did in an 8-2 season opening win over Juanita. In 3A KingCo, Bellevue looked like a potential state tournament team during most of last season, and was only one game from the final 16 under head coach Pete Wilkinson. The Wolverines are without departed

senior ace Nolan Watson on the mound, after he earned conference player of the year honors. Interlake lost in the first round of the conference tournament last season, while Sammamish missed out on a 2A district playoff spot as Lake Washington captured a share of the regular season championship.

Newport capable of encore performance in softball?

The Knights made the 4A state tournament field in softball last year, and return a core of four seniors in Annie Cheng, India Gants, Maggie Pana and Kaitlin Sahlinger. Juniors Sydney Tomlinson and Kathryn Wood give Newport a wealth of experience, after helping their team to a 3-2 record at state last year.

Four Interlake High School students are hosting a basketball shooting event March 28 to raise money for Right to Play International, which serves children in South America, Africa and Asia to promote health, education and equality through play. The project is part of the International Baccalaureate program, and will include small team games and a tournament-style format.

Bellevue Youth Soccer took home the girls U16/U17 Washington State Youth Soccer Founders Cup over a squad from Edgewood last month, after a two-week snow delay postponed the match from its original date. Olivia Mack, Peggy Ferguson and Ellie Moran scored goals in the 3-1 championship game win, while Ashlyn Lutz dished out a pair of assists to help her team take home the title.

Former Wolverine now with Huskies men’s soccer team

Bellevue will be without one of the most talented soccer players from the area this spring, but it wasn’t another high school program or U.S. Development academy the Wolverines lost out to. Garret Jackson, who was a member of the Class of 2014 at Bellevue, instead graduated in January to join his collegiate program at the University of Washington this spring as the Huskies begin training for the fall season.

After its Elite 8 appearance in last year’s NCAA tournament, with a team that included Sammamish grad Beau Blanchard, UW adds Jackson as a defender for its Pac-12 championship hunt. Washington head coach Jaime Clark has a glowing review for his incoming freshman on the team’s official website. “Garret is the best defender in the Northwest and one of the top in the country for 2015. He combines a big physical presence with the technical ability to play out of the back.” Jackson played with Crossfire Premier’s Academy team.

Totems find new football coach BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER

Sammamish has a new head football coach headed into the 2014 season, and it is one with plenty of experience in Bellevue and the KingCo conference. Todd Craig, most recently the head junior varsity football coach at Bellevue High School and longtime coach in Oregon, takes over for Brian Tucci. The Totems have struggled in recent seasons, and have not made the postseason since the 3A title game appearance in 1999. But a win over rival Interlake, the first since 2006, was Todd Craig a major point of pride for the program last year, and could be a springboard for Craig. While installing an offensive and defensive philosophy will be critical to Sammamish’s ultimate success under their new head coach, he said the first task is simply building numbers in the program. “We’ve had good turnout in the weight room so far,” he said. “We want to build those numbers as much as we can.” The junior varsity at Bellevue had a perfect record under Craig’s tenure, and Sammamish athletic director

Pat McCarthy said bringing a proven winner to Sammamish was a positive for the program’s future. “His passion for the game and desire to teach others how to play and draw life lessons from the game are rarely matched,” McCarthy said in a press release. “He is very excited to begin implementing his style of coaching and commitment to excellence here at Sammamish.” Leo Holland, a junior fullback and linebacker, said it is already evident how deep the investment is for his new head coach. “He is in here with us while we are lifting every day,” Holland said. “I’m excited to see where he can take us.” The fall season begins a new WIAA two-year classification cycle, with Sammamish still part of Class 2A, and battling with only Liberty for postseason positioning. If the Totems are able to post a better regular season record than the Patriots, they will have the chance to earn the district’s only 2A playoff spot, and make the trip back to state for the first time since 1999.

Tim Haehl, a quarterback and defensive back on Bellevue’s 3A state title winning football team, was honored by the National Football Foundation as the Seattle Chapter’s Scholar Athlete, receiving a $2,000 scholarship and distinction for his academic accomplishments, community involvement and football abilities. Haehl was chosen along with Andrew Wallen of Auburn Riverside to receive the honor as a back in the first ever tie for the scholarship, with a lineman also chosen.

Bellevue will be without part of their state championship relay contingent in Myles Jack, but have no shortage of returning sprinters capable of bringing home more hardware. Multiple state title winner and University of Washington football commit Budda Baker leads that pack after taking the 100 meters last year at state. Isaiah Gilchrist and Sam Richmond, who also earned individual state placings last season as underclassman, return along with Max Richmond, Sam Richmond, Justus Rogers, Graham Wendle and Marcel Lee after helping the Wolverines to 400 and 1600 meter relay titles last year. On the girls side, Interlake’s Nikita Waghani ran in the 3200 meters at state last year as a junior, while Bellevue’s Ayane Rossano and Floraine Kameni will also be after podium spots after competing at state last year.

Moscoso talks immigration, voter equity at Bellevue College First district state representative Luis Moscoso urged Bellevue College students to become involved in their local elections and engage themselves in battles over legislation that could affect their interests. “If you’re campaigning just for your own self interest, as far as going to college, that’s enough to get out there and help,” Moscoso said in reference to the McCleary decision and the emphasis it’s placed on K-12 education. “Because nobody’s paying attention to (higher) education in the state right now. It comes down to (the question) ‘How do you want to pay for it?’ That’s the big issue.” Moscoso, a Democratic sophomore legislator from Mountlake Terrace, visited the campus Tuesday as part of its “Coffee and Tea with…” series of discussions. The representative discussed and answered questions about legislation affecting young people, people of color and undocumented immigrants. Specifically, he discussed the passage of the REAL Hope Act in the 2014 regular legislative session, the continued implementation of Initiative 502, and ongoing efforts to pass the Voting Rights Act and TRUST Act — bills crafted to mitigate racially discriminatory voting practices and expand protections for undocumented immigrants, respectively.

State Rep. Luis Moscoso, center, participated in a question and answer session with Bellevue College students Tuesday. He is seen here with Melody Salcedo of Bellevue College, left, and Director Victoria Sifuentes of El Centro Latino. DANIEL NASH, Bellevue Reporter The REAL Hope Act — alternatively called the Dream Act, not to be confused with the oft-reappearing federal DREAM Act — was passed at the beginning of the 2014 legislative session and signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee Feb. 26. The act made undocumented immigrants eligible to apply for state need grants for college and earmarked $5 million for 1,000 more such grants. The bill did not make it out of

committee in the 2013 session, but was able to go to the floor in 2014 due to attention from constituents and the media, Moscoso said. The problem, the representative said, is that eligible students continue to outnumber available grants, despite the infusion of additional funds. “That was an argument some people used against passing it,” he said. “Why add

more people to the list when we can’t pay for the people who are on it? Fortunately that was not the prevailing sentiment, because everybody who should be going to college and should be able to apply for the money — if you agree with me — should be on that list.” The TRUST Act has not yet received a committee hearing, but Moscoso pointed to the current hunger strike in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Tacoma Northwest Detention Center as evidence of its relevance. The act would require that immigrants in the country illegally would need to be charged with or convicted of a “serious crime” — primarily felonies — in order to be eligible for a 48hour hold and transfer to U.S. immigration authorities. Moscoso alleged that fear of detention keeps undocumented immigrants from advocating for themselves, adding that some law enforcement officials were concerned that the chilling effect discouraged immigrants from calling police to respond to legitimate threats. When a student asked how legislators were responding to the hunger strike, which began March 7, Moscoso responded that “no one’s talking about it.” He said he urged undocumented immigrants to find SEE COLLEGE, 15

Sixth graders at St. Louise School in Bellevue had a fast and furious competition March 13, racing teams of individually built solar-powered cars. Science teacher Jeff Glaser’s students used K’NEX building components and learned how to increase the speed of their cars through different configurations. The students utilized the scientific method throughout the project — they held trials, used charts and graphs, and created lab write-ups of their findings.

The Bellevue High School concert orchestra and Sinfonia orchestra made high marks at the Western Washington University Orchestra Festival. Both orchestras earned gold ratings from the judging panel, the highest rating possible. Sinfonia additionally took the festival’s “Overall Performance” trophy, beating out 14 other bands in attendance. “Post performance, all three university professor judges expressed that Sinfonia’s performance was

expressive and the ‘Best Tchaikovsky Serenade’ that they have ever heard by a high school group in their lifetime,” orchestral instructor Chase Chang said. A recording of the

ways to advocate for themselves without taking on unnecessary risks that could put them under threat of arrest and deportation. By contrast, the Voting Rights Act — which passed the house in the past two sessions but has failed to pass the Senate — would ensure that minority neighborhoods were represented in local government, Moscoso said. The act would require a bloc voting system in local elections. Most communities in the state use an at-large system for electing their city council, meaning every citizen elects every councilmember — an arrangement that prevents neighborhoods of concentrated minority interest or racial makeup from achieving representation in their city. The city of Yakima is currently awaiting trial on a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and two Latino citizens, alleging the municipal government’s at-large system dilutes Latino citizens’ votes. In the end, Moscoso reminded students they needed to campaign in order to be heard. “You can’t make people be like you any more than they can change you, but you do have to work with folks,” Cosmoso said. “It is an election year. You don’t have to be able to vote, you don’t even have to be a citizen to work in a campaign. If you want to make a difference, go find out someone in your area … and do some campaigning. Learn how the electoral system works in the state of Washington. Put in time at a phone bank, doorbelling, handing out literature, whatever. Or even just on campus talking to students, and raising their awareness about how many elected districts have students here, in Bellevue … How are you holding us, how are you holding me accountable?”

The Lake Hills Elementary School also saw a 9 percent increase in speed zone camera infractions, which the city states may be attributed to increased traffic on Southeast Eighth Street due to the West Lake Sammamish Parkway reconstruction project. At Stevenson Elementary, infractions dropped 33 percent.

Capt. John McCracken said the vendor will allow the city up to a six-month extension. The Bellevue Police Department recommended on Monday that the City Council approve expanding the photo enforcement program to include red light cameras at Northeast Eighth Street and 116th Avenue Northeast westbound, Northeast Eighth and 112th Avenue Northeast east and westbound and a southbound speed zone camera for Sunset Elementary at West Lake Sammamish Boulevard. This would mean a cost increase for service through ATS of $192,000 annually for five years. Councilmember Lynne Robinson said she wants to know if there are any enforcement alternatives that could be considered and what possibility there is for issuing warnings for first-time offenders. McCracken said since tickets are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle at fault and not necessarily the offender, its hard to issue warnings. He said officers use discretion in issuing tickets, examining each piece of video turned over by ATS for analysis.

Loops under the road record the speed of vehicles before they approach a light with a camera, and if drivers are going fast enough, the camera starts recording. Addressing concerns about drivers being ticketed for making righthand turns at red lights when the camera begins recording, McCracken said if that turn is deemed unsafe due to oncoming traffic or pedestrians crossing, it is more likely a driver will get a ticket. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she wants to know the difference in the number of tickets issued out of the number of cases reviewed by officers to determine just how much discretion is being used. She also wants to know whether photo enforcement is channeling bad drivers to other city streets. It remains unclear, she said, whether the traffic enforcement cameras are more for generating revenue than promoting safety. Robertson said she has also heard concerns that the current traffic enforcement cameras are situated in less affluent parts of the city where offenders may be the least able to afford the fine. Councilmember John Chelminiak said concerns about penalizing just those in lower-income parts of the city should be alleviated with expansion into the Northeast Eighth corridor, "one of the richer zip codes in the United States."

each other. She said she didn’t want to see a “Starbucks” situation with a cluster of marijuana stores. Freshmen Councilmember Lynne Robinson said she advocates the use of medicinal marijuana for those needing it for controlling symptoms from illnesses, but does not feel Bellevue is the place for growing and selling recreational marijuana. “I don’t think prohibition works,” Councilmember John Stokes said. “It didn’t work in the past.” Stokes said the city may as well look at bringing back prohibition of alcohol along with banning recreational marijuana businesses. The other option for Bellevue residents seeking pot in the city would be the black market, which Stokes said is a whole other problem.

Now that it is, he said he would support discussion. Legal Planner Catherine Drews said the Washington State Liquor Control Board is still “weeding” out the 15, 22 and 56 applications for licensure to process, produce and sell recreational marijuana, respectively. There are 13 different zones in which retail marijuana sales are allowed under the current emergency ordinance and the liquor control board has limited Bellevue to four such pot shops. Licenses for growing and processing marijuana are not restricted in numbers

gardens for medical marijuana patients, but said earlier in the meeting she also wants to honor the will of Bellevue voters. An August memorandum authored by U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole stated the Department of Justice will leave Washington pot businesses alone for now. However, the department will still be enforcing medical marijuana grow operations and dispensaries, Robertson said, and it is important that Bellevue ensure it is compliant. The disconnect of medical and recreational marijuana is something Robertson said she’d hoped the Legislature would have resolved before adjourning its session last week. Robertson also proposed, and the council accepted, an amendment to the emergency ordinance that prevents pot shops from opening within 1,000 feet of

issued. Drews said the availability of light industrial space should limit the numbers granted in Bellevue. As the control board anticipates pot shops will open up as soon as early this summer, Mayor Claudia Balducci emphasized the importance of extending the interim ordinance until the council has had time to weigh an option to ban recreational marijuana. If the ordinance was not extended, marijuana licenses would be granted in Bellevue without regulations in place. She said she supports the majority of Bellevue voters who approved I-502. “We may not agree with what the voters did, but they did it,” she said, “and that is what a democracy is.” Councilmember Jennifer Robertson requested also looking at banning collective

In 1968, a shopping center, Evergreen East, was proposed for development on an island of land that fell between Redmond and Bellevue. The land was annexed by Redmond in 1962, but its proximity to Bellevue made it a threat to Bellevue’s shopping centers. Kemper Freeman Sr. led the fight against Evergreen East, arguing that the Eastside could not support two major shopping centers, especially since Bellevue Square was planning to expand in the very near future. The City of Seattle also voiced concerns that Evergreen East would weaken Seattle’s downtown shopping core. In addition, residents in the area were worried about the impact of traffic, construction and increase. The area that was originally cleared for Evergreen East is now known as Overlake Park and Evergreen Highlands, and is home to the Microsoft campus.

The Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation is just $100,000 shy of raising the $1 million it has committed to the project. With up to 20 workers tackling the project five days a week, the theater is expected to be completed by late 2014. Kathman said additional concrete for the roof will be poured on April 7. From the interior of the theater, the ceiling is being braced with a series of poles that will be removed once the concrete settles, but Kathman said there will be a lot of testing after to make sure it will hold. Aiming for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold certification, the roof will be covered with layers of dirt, gravel and then sod. Dug up earth around the roof will be backfilled and a guard net will be used to keep the landscaped roof in place. The guard net looks like the inside of a beehive, said Kathman. Once completed, people will be able to congregate on the roof, if they like, which will blend in with the surrounding greenery. The theater will also include a geothermal wells heating system 300 feet underground. Natural lighting will

be achieved through window trumpets in the roof that extend out like rocks on a hill. Crossroads community members are already seeing site improvements around the theater, including a pathway from the community center to the existing park trail there. That pathway will be further extended once construction is completed. The Bellevue Youth Theatre started in 1990 as a recreational program at the Crossroads Community Center before moving its acts over to the former Ivanhoe Elementary School. The city looked at renovating the school, said project manager Pam Fehrman, but the cost to bring the building up to code was too great. A feasibility study determined land adjacent to the community center was well-suited for the project. Fehrman said Ivanhoe will continue to be used for practices and smaller performances. Fehrman said the first play to be performed inside the new theater will be decided within the next few weeks.

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.
