Police seek manslaughter charge in Hampton Greens fire Investigators say hash oil operation caused explosion, blaze that resulted in death of Bellevue’s Nan Campbell BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police are asking the King County Prosecutor to charge a 31-year-old marijuana dispensary operator with second-degree manslaughter following an explosion and fire at the Hampton Greens apartment complex last November that resulted in the death of well-known Bellevue resident Nan Campbell. The explosion was determined to have been caused by a hash oil manufacturing operation David R. Schultz
is alleged to have started in his nearby apartment unit. Residents at the Hampton Greens apartments awoke early Nov. 5 to the sound of an explosion that shook the complex and nearby businesses and residences, causing a fire that ripped through the KK building at 4505 148th Nan Campbell Ave. N.E. According to police and fire reports examined by the Bellevue Reporter through a public records request, Schultz is alleged to have caused the explosion inside one of the apartments when butane gas being used to produce hash oil was ignited. The explosion and subsequent fire caused $1.5 million in damage and the loss of $500,000 in belongings. Schultz was staying at the apartment with friends, Jesse Kaplan and Daniel Strycharske, both former Microsoft em-
ployees, and allegedly making hash oil in the living room using a butane "shooting" method. They were among seven people hospitalized that day. Schultz was found by emergency responders in the back seat of his car with second-degree burns. Reports state Schultz gave conflicting statements as to where he was at the time of the explosion, at one time being outside the apartment unit and sleeping on the couch in another. Schultz reportedly has a history of schizophrenia. Kaplan reported waking up to the roof collapsing, escaping through a wall. Campbell, 87, told responders she tripped and fell while escaping the blaze, hurting her hip; a Kirkland firefighter noted burn marks on her robe. She died in the hospital on Nov. 19, 2013.

A 3-year-old Bellevue boy died in a duplex fire at 141st Place Southeast off Southeast Eighth Street early Monday morning after firefighters pulled him from a bedroom on the second floor of the burning building. Bellevue Fire Lt. Rich Burke said crews responded to a call from neighbors who reported seeing the flames in the Lake Hills cul-de-sac around 1:22 a.m. Firefighters reported seeing heavy flames at the rear of the duplex as they were approaching the unit from 140th Place Southeast. "As (firefighters) came around the block, they were met on the street by the mother and a roommate of the mom," he said. "They had initially escaped and a neighbor had got a ladder up on the roof to get them off of that." Firefighters attacked the fire from the front of the duplex in an attempt to reach the child on the second floor. "Unfortunately, it flashed and they had to back out," said Burke, but firefighters were eventually able to reach the boy. The child was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he

Sheriff’s deputy on multiple prescriptions at time of arrest Bellevue Police submit results of New Year’s Eve investigation BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A King County Sheriff ’s deputy has allegedly tested positive for multiple prescription drugs following his New Year’s Eve arrest in Newcastle, according to Bellevue Police, who conducted the investigation after the deputy was found in a Starbuck’s parking lot slumped over the wheel of his patrol vehicle. Bellevue Police report the 46-year-old deputy was impaired by those medications on New Year’s Eve. He had been observed passed out in his patrol car by a passerby, who also stated they were unable to wake him. Another sheriff ’s deputy, captain and sergeant responded to the Starbuck’s parking lot at Newcastle Way and Coal Creek Parkway, where they were able to rouse the passed-out deputy and determine he was impaired by something other than alcohol, a news release states. Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden, who has worked eight out of the past 10 New Year’s Eve patrols and is a trained drug
recognition expert, was called to the scene to perform the examination of the sheriff ’s deputy. The Washington State Patrol Toxicology Lab reportedly could not detect the substances in the deputy’s system, which required submitting blood samples from the law enforcement officer to NMS Labs in Pennsylvania for additional screening on Feb. 28. The BPD received the results on March 31. All substances found in the deputy’s system have impairing qualities that affect a person’s ability to operate machinery or vehicle, police report. According to the sheriff ’s office, their internal investigation for policy violations is still open and the 15-year veteran of the department remains on light duty, which means performing clerical work with no actual policing authority. The case has been submitted to the King County Prosecutor’s Office for review and possible charges. Another sheriff ’s deputy was arrested for suspicion of drug impairment on Feb. 28 in Mill Creek when the 19-year veteran rearended a car early in his shift.

Council grants Meydenbauer Bay Park design contract BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue City Council on Monday approved a $1.6-million contract for architectural design and engineering for the Meydenbauer Bay Park project’s first phase of construction, along with an application for $2 million in state grants for its development and the Downtown Park Inspiration Playground. Phase One for the ambitious Meydenbauer Bay Park project is set to start in 2017, starting west of 99th Avenue Southeast and past what is now Meydenbauer Beach Park. Anchor QEA, LLC will be the design team to realize the vision for the park laid out in the adopted master plan. The park will include a shoreline promenade, relocated swim beach, curved pedestrian pier, a plaza and playground. Pedestrian improvements are expected to be made at Lake Washington Boulevard and 99th Avenue Northeast. QEA has completed 18 waterfront projects on Lake Washington. The city also continues to work toward acquiring and demolishing properties within the park area, including four homes
slated to be torn down on Lake Washington Boulevard this summer. The council included $9 million in its 2013-19 capital improvement plan, and has received a $3 million state department of commerce grant for Phase One of the project, less $50,000 for administrative costs. For the $2 million in grant funding the city is requesting from the state recreation and conservation office, $1 million each could be apportioned to the Meydenbauer Bay Park and Inspiration Playground, with the city providing matching funds. Funded through a 2008 parks and natural areas levy, the Downtown Park is in design to lose its Pac-Man image and add a playground for which the Bellevue Rotary Club has committed to raising $3.5 million for construction. Phase One construction for the Inspiration Playground is contingent on the Rotary raising $1.4 million. It has raised about $800,000 to date. Under a memorandum of understanding with the Rotary, the city will provide design, soft costs and maintenance of the park. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Target requests rezone, review for downtown Bellevue store BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Target Corporation is requesting a rezone and design review at the corner of 116th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Fourth Street in Bellevue to allow for construction of a 160,000-square-foot retail store. Target proposes 146,648 square feet of the building will be used for its store, with another 15,000 square feet to be used for street-level retail space. The design specifics filed and published in the city’s weekly permits bulletin include a 500-stall parking garage.
The company expects a land rezone from general commercial to community business. A text amendment by City Council and design review will be completed in May with permits issued in June. Should that occur, Target anticipates construction to begin in July and the store to open in October 2015. Up to 200 people are expected to be employed at the store, according to documents filed with the city. The city is extending Northeast Fourth Street from 116th to 120th Avenue Northeast. It recently resolved a lawsuit filed by Best Buy, because the extension will remove a portion of its storefront and parking lot.
A STERLING NAME The Rockefeller Group announced this week its 20-story Bellevue office tower project will be named the Sterling Center in honor of its partnership with Sterling Realty Organization. COURTESY PHOTO, NBBJ
The city has granted Best Buy permission to demolish 11,021 square feet of retail space on the south side of its Bellevue store and add 9,964 square feet to its north side to settle the matter. The store will add a single-story parking garage on its east side to accommodate up to 226 vehicles. KG Investment Management, which owns the property where Target is planning to construct its new Bellevue store, was a respondent along with the city in the Best Buy case. City documents state litigation temporarily delayed progress in the Target project.
Rudy’s Barbershop moving down the block Rudy’s Barbershop in downtown Bellevue plans to move down the block after a new development project closes its current location on Main Street this summer. Rudy’s had to find a new location with construction of The Gateway — a mixed-use
project on the northwest corner of Bellevue Way and Main Street — requiring demolition of its building and several others. The barbershop was lucky enough to find a new site down the street at 10713 Main St., the old Jasmine Thai restaurant building. “We signed a lease and we’re on our way,” said Katie Trent, Rudy’s operations manager. “It’s just a stone’s throw from our current location and we’re going to renovate, make it look great and move in in a couple months.” Rudy’s plans to move in early summer and will remain open at its current location through May.

HUGE SPRING PLANT SALE Issaquah, Washington Oh my gosh, we have way too many plants! They have to go! We can barely move around this place. We have a lot of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $4.97 including Japanese Red Maples, Purple Rockrose, Hostas, Hydrangeas, and that’s just off the top of my head! My favorite is the Japanese Red Maples. These are 2 to 3 ft tall, with sturdy trunks and brand new fancy red leaves. I wonder where else you are going to find Japanese Red Maples for $4.97. We have flowering trees for $4.97 We have White Dogwoods, and Pink Dogwoods and Chinese Dogwoods, and the flowers are just starting to open. These are just the right size for a smaller yard. Need some bigger trees for $4.97? We have Paperbark Birch. These guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do fine in that soggy area, and so will Curly Willow. If you’re looking for a big tree, you’ve found it. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but I’ve got plants coming out my ears. We grow them right here, and sometimes we grow way too many. These trees should be priced more than $20 and
I’ve got them priced at $4.97. That’s nuts!
lots of flowers at this time of the year.
We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Pink Queen Potentilla, and they’ll be just covered with pink flowers in a couple of weeks
Speaking of groundcovers, we have Lithodora. Never heard of Lithodora? Google it! In bloom now with bright blue flowers. This will keep blooming for another couple of months.
Another anti-Bambi plant is Purple Euphorbia, and it is just awesome. Deep wine colored leaves, with brilliant yellowgreen flowers on top. Stays in flower for months, and the handsome foliage is evergreen. Can’t ask for much more than that. Looking for something to put in those shady places? Astilbes! We have pink, and white, and they are so happy in the shade that I bet I could get them to bloom in my front hall closet. The flowers last all summer long. And evergreens - we have Bird’s Nest Spruce and Dwarf Albert Spruce. If you’re looking for something bright, there’s Gold Mop, and if you’re looking for something larger, check out Moonglow Juniper. All this stuff is $4.97. You have to see it to believe it. We have the cutest little native groundcover. It’s called Bawdy Primrose, and I have no idea how they made up that name. It has fuzzy, round leaves with scalloped edges, and bright pink flowers. It’s so nice to see
Another great groundcover is Golden Creeping Jenny. This is the one to put where people and dogs might just run right over it. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Let’s see, what else can we find for you for $4.97? How about Pia Pink Hydrangeas and Nikko Blue Hydrangeas? Orchid Rockrose? Autumn Camellias? How about Nugget Ninebark and Gold Mop Cypress? I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least ten bucks for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed. I am so excited that our Royal Star Magnolias are in bloom! I love those fluffy white blossoms all over the little trees. They’re a steal at $33.97. We also have some really nice Chinese Tree Lilacs for $19.97. They’re about 3 ft tall, and really full, and getting ready to bloom.
Probably should have priced them at twice as much, but I got a really great deal from a little old lady in Oregon. Wait, I almost forgot - we’ve got some very special Japanese Maples. You know that beautiful weeping form, where the branches look like little umbrellas? We have those, and we have them with green leaves also. Just $39.97 each Be sure to have a look at our Lion’s Head Maples. it’s the right size to grow in a small area, or even in pots. The leaves are tightly crinkled, and the whole effect is really bold. Guys love this tree and it’s a steal at $49.97. You get the idea. Come on over FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY starting April 11 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Our little nursery is called The Daily Plant-It, and we’re open every weekend this spring. It’s first come, first served, and some of these little beauties will go fast. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah.

Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good. See you this weekend! (Paid Advertisement)

A new regional transit pass will allow riders to travel by bus, train, streetcar or water taxi all day for one price. The Visitor Day Pass is being piloted by Puget Sound transit agencies and will be available for the next six months. One or more days’ worth of passes can be loaded onto a reusable ORCA smart card. The regional day pass will cost $9 and provide unlimited trips when the fare is $4 or less. It will be marketed to hotels and other businesses that focus on tourists and out-of-town visitors. Local residents also can purchase the day pass anywhere ORCA cards are sold. People who do not have an ORCA card can buy a card for a one-time $5 fee. The day pass cannot be used on Washington State Ferries. The Visitor Day Pass is the first new regional pass product since ORCA was launched in 2010. The day pass will be available as a six-month pilot through September 30. At that time, usage data will be evaluated to determine if the day pass will continue.
Eight classes on Wednesdays 6:30pm– 8:00pm starting April 23th, 30th, May 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, June 4th and 11th, 2014

“This morning I spoke with the president to discuss the tragic landslide along State Route 530, the ongoing recovery efforts and the federal government’s continued commitment to do everything it can to help the victims, their families and all those affected by this tragic disaster. “During the call, the president and I talked about his visiting the slide area. He told me that he will be visiting on April 22 to view the devastation caused by the slide and meet with the families affected by the disaster, as well as the brave first responders and recovery workers. DelBene said the president also said he will move quickly to sign into law legislation that was recently passed by Congress to save the historic Green Mountain Lookout near Darrington.”

EDITORIAL
Vote ‘yes’ on Prop 1 to maintain transit
I
t would be easy to say “no” to King County Proposition 1, the tax and vehicle fee for transportation that’s on the April 22 ballot. After all, who wants more taxes? But that would be the wrong thing to do. All of King County will be served best with a “yes” vote to both maintain transit service at current levels and provide maintenance and safety improvements to roads in cities and in unincorporated King County. Everyone who drives on our roads, including freeways and highways, knows firsthand how congested things are. Bumper-to-bumper traffic is a daily occurrence. Take away transit routes and things only will get worse. And, yes, traffic around here can get worse. Metro Transit provides 400,000 rides each day to people throughout the county. Without Prop 1, Metro would have to make drastic cuts to its service that would affect 80 percent of bus riders. If that happens, it is estimated that an additional 30,000 cars will be added to our roads each day. Worse, those who must use the bus — people with disabilities, students and working families — will find themselves stranded. Approving Prop 1 comes at a cost, of course. Prop 1 would levy a 0.1 percent sales tax and install a $60 vehicle fee. Each would last for 10 years. To help ease the pain on the poor, Prop 1 also allows for a low-income vehicle fee rebate of $20 and also a low-income Metro transit fare. None of this is meant to dismiss the concerns of opponents of Prop 1. In fact, we share many of those concerns. We know that Metro’s transit costs are high and we aren’t convinced that Metro truly has done all it can to rein them in. And we don’t like any increase in the sales tax because it is regressive and hits the poor more harshly than the rich. The bottom line is that transit service is too important — for rich and poor alike. It must be maintained and Prop 1 will do that. Vote “yes.” – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Oso mudslide
Congress can take action
S
ometimes it takes a calamity to move anything through Congress. In the case of the Green Mountain Lookout, it took a tragedy for federal lawmakers to keep an iconic structure exactly where it is. A bill sent to President Barack Obama this week will preserve the lookout that’s long been a destination for hikers and a cherished landmark for Darrington residents. This legislation will reach the president Jerry Cornfield stunningly fast, by congressional standards, thanks to an all-too-rare exhibition of the personal overcoming the political in Washington, D.C. On March 28, the sixth day after a monstrous mudslide erased an Oso neighborhood and claimed nearly three dozen lives, Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin told members of Washington’s congressional delegation that protecting the lookout would uplift the community’s spirits.
?
Question of the week: “Do you think the Mariners will have a winning season?”
The Senate responded on April 3 by passing the preservation measure. The House approved it Monday and there was not a dissenting voice in either chamber. “I think that tells you how much everybody wants to do something,” said Sen. Patty Murray, adding Obama shouldn’t wait to act until his visit later this month. “I want him to sign this and get it done,” she said. “This is a community that needs to stand up and cheer.” Though success came remarkably quick, Congressman Rick Larsen poured the foundation in June 2012 by introducing the first Green Mountain Lookout Historic Preservation Act. In 2013, U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, DMedina, re-introduced it and Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell, co-sponsored an identical bill in the Senate. Those gathered dust until earlier this year when the Republican majority in the House passed an omnibus public lands measure containing a provision for Green Mountain Lookout. Democrats said it contained too many SEE CORNFIELD, 9

Sidewalks for safety
Newport Way was a quiet country road before development of the area turned it into a major arterial. The segment recently annexed to Bellevue (from the Somerset entrance to 150th Avenue Southeast) has not been upgraded and is a hazard to pedestrians. South Bellevue Community Center, Newport Way Library, Eastgate Park, Aldersgate Church, Tyee Middle School and Edgebrook Swim & Tennis are located on either side of this segment of Newport Way. For many residents, access to these facilities means walking on the narrow strip of dirt beside the traffic lanes while avoiding ditches, metal barriers and watching out for traffic on blind curves. It is not unusual to see adults pushing children in strollers, kids on bikes, and groups of three or more pedestrians making their way along this hazardous course. At night it is truly terrifying to see people in dark clothing walking this narrow strip while only a few inches away cars are speeding past them. Sidewalks and bike lanes are urgently needed. Public safety is of utmost importance. If you share my concerns, or for more information visit our website www.newportwaysidewalk.org or email newportwaysidewalk@gmail.com.

Cartoon needs no explanation
Regarding the letter, “Cartoon needed more information” (April 4, 2014), it may be noted that cartoon is a pictorial comment on some political or social issue of public concern which by and large echoes public reaction. A cartoonist generally draws cartoon based on the information/data which he deems fit to rely on for crisp comment. It enjoins upon the readers to trace the source of information and share it with readers or just to leave it alone if the source of information does not endorse the comments of the cartoonist. Unlike news reporter, cartoonists should not be called upon to justify or explain source of information. Readers, however, are at liberty to beg to differ. Until then better to leave it alone or just enjoy it.

Transit benefits us all
I see the Boo Birds are already out in force against Prop 1, including lots of visual pollution along our streets, your front page coverage of the Bellevue Chamber's opposition (big surprise there), plus the nine column-inches and banner headline you gave them on your "Viewpoints" page to state their case. Well here's a different viewpoint. While I don't personally take transit (I have a highly variable work schedule), I still benefit from it every day since fewer cars on the road means less congestion and less air pollution and I am happy to pay
my annual car tab fee increase to support it. However, my adult daughter does take it every day to get to work. Since she and her new husband can't afford a second car, and he needs the one they have because of his variable work schedule, it's her only option to get to her job. If Proposition 1 fails, the resulting reductions in service will impact her directly, costing her additional precious time (it already takes her over an hour) and money. There are thousands of other people for whom transit is their only option. And for those who do opt for transit over their cars, the service cuts will be an incentive to switch back to their cars adding still more congestion and pollution. Do the math — the mode split into/out of downtown Seattle during rush hours is something like 75 percent transit. The Reporter's (and the Chamber's) consistent anti-transit, anti-tax positions continue to be a major disservice to the greater good of the community as a whole. Vote "yes" on Prop 1!
W. David Osmer, Bellevue
Cartoon wrong on transportation
The March 21 edition has a political cartoon titled "Why the legislature can't pass a transportation package..." It shows a farmer driving farm equipment on a field of wheat. The farmer is saying "Why should my taxes go up ... to pay for more buses and bike paths in Seattle, not to mention a lid over a highway with tennis courts on top of it?" This is so wrong-headed. First of all, as a report by the Office of Fiscal Management shows, King County contributes far more to counties out east than they contribute to King County. In other words, there's a large net flow of tax revenues to rural counties from King County. Why should you and I pay for long, underutilized roads in the eastern part of the state? Secondly, without adequate transportation the farms and industries in the eastern parts of the state won't be able to ship their goods to King County and elsewhere. Thirdly, 97 percent of climate scientists believe that climate change is a serious threat. We need to encourage drivers to drive less, carpool, take public transportation, and buy more efficient vehicles. Decreasing our dependence on oil will help the trade deficit, improve our health, and decrease the need for wars. Lastly, the state senate also rejected a "local option" for transportation funding. But thankfully King County voters now have the option, via Proposition 1, to rectify the lack of funding for transportation. It's a regressive tax, but unless voters are willing to institute a progressive income tax or deal with even more traffic congestion, they should approve it.

unsavory provisions and several, including DelBene and Larsen, voted against it. When it arrived in the Senate where Democrats run things, the bill got permanently parked. Then, on March 22, the bluff in Oso disappeared, and Rankin made his request on March 28. Murray recalled looking at DelBene and saying: let’s get it done. The next day Murray phoned Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources. She wanted to gauge his willingness to advance a stand-alone bill she hoped to get through the Senate. “I said it was something we could do to show (residents) we can get this done. To his credit, he said let’s get it done,” she said. During the next three days, Murray corralled the backing of Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who are the chairwoman and vicechairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, respectively. DelBene said congressional action carried an impact beyond saving a landmark. “This bill can’t undo what has been done. But, as the mayor of Darrington told me, it can be a piece of good news and a victory for an inspiring community that has gone through so much,” she said. Rankin described himself as shaking with excitement when DelBene phoned immediately after the vote Monday. “It was a pretty fantastic moment,” he said. “We got something that was really important for our community.” Jerry Cornfield is a political reporter who covers Olympia for The Daily Herald in Everett, which is among the Washington state newspapers in the Sound Publishing group.

Benefit for victims of copter crash, Oso landslide to feature Heart guitarist BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Bellevue real estate broker has organized a benefit concert to be held April 16 for a victim of the KOMO 4 helicopter crash and victims of the Oso landslide. Roger Fisher, founding guitarist of Heart, will play with other metro area musicians. When Cheryl Robinson heard about the March 18 crash near Seattle Center, she didn’t imagine she knew anyone involved. So when she found out days later that Richard Newman had been hospitalized after the copter came down on his car, she was shocked, she said. As a real estate broker, she had handled two home transactions for him and they had become friends. Newman was commuting

Rolf, who Seattle Mayor Ed Murray tapped to chair the city’s Inequality and Minimum Wage Committee, will speak on creating a living wage and income inequality. The week will include lectures by campus instructors and speakers from the Washington Environmental Coalition, the city of Bellevue, Cascade Bicycle Club and others. The campus hosts its fifth annual farmer’s market on April 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. The campus is located at 3000 Landerholm Circle S.E. in Bellevue. A complete schedule is posted at www.bellevuecollege.edu
Bellevue College will hold its 15th annual Earth Week celebration April 21-26 with a series of lectures and special events to promote environmental awareness and the sustainable use of Earth’s resources. The theme for 2014 is “Create an Eco-topia.” “The theme celebrates our place on Earth, whether that is our place in our neighborhood, the Puget Sound region or our place on the planet,” said Patrick Green, Office of Sustainability program manager and Earth Week organizer. “Not only do we occupy this place, but we strive to steward it for the health of people and the environment.” Festivities will kick off on Earth Day, with activities centering around “Transportation in Eco-topia,” including a transportation fair with representatives from King Co.

Brunch, bunnies & bellinis for Easter Serve up your best Easter brunch ever with three delightful recipes BY CAROL DEARTH
C
reating and hosting a memorable Easter brunch is a fabulous treat. Enjoying the process, planning and preparation as well as a delicious meal, coming together with friends and family sounds wonderful. And accomplishing it without having your hair on fire is quite do-able if you use a timeline (see sidebar at right). For me, the key is doing whatever I can in advance, so that I don’t feel rushed at the last minute. My motto is:
Semifreddo Bellinis
whatever you can make ahead — do it! And don't feel badly choosing purchased, prepared foods as another option, if necessary. But having fun is not an option — it is a requirement. To complete your menu, you might add simple fruit skewers, which are more festive than a compote, and a lively brunch cocktail — Semifreddo Bellinis. Find the cocktail recipe at www. thesizzleworks.com/blog/2014/03/ semifreddo-bellini/.
TIMELINE One week in advance
■ Prepare crepes. Stack with plastic wrap between each of the crepes; freeze. ■ Press tablecloth and napkins if using.
Evening before
■ Assemble fruit skewers. ■ Plate butter and other condiments. ■ Defrost crepes, cook sausages, assemble in baking dish. Cover and refrigerate until morning. ■ Zest oranges. Make sauce for crepes; cover and set aside until morning. ■ Slice oranges into wheels. Refrigerate until morning. ■ Chill the drinks. ■ Set up coffee, tea. ■ Set the table.
Brunch Morning
pan, swirling the pan to evenly coat with batter. When the crêpe is almost dry on the top and golden brown on the edges (about 1 minute), it is time to turn it, if you choose to do so. Use a small spatula to loosen the edge of the crêpe, then turn it over with the spatula or your fingers. Cook the crêpe on the second side, about 15 seconds longer, or until it is lightly browned underneath. If you do not want to turn the crepe, cook until the top is dry and no longer shiny. Once cooked, turn out onto a board to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes.
For sauce:
Brunch Crêpes with Sausage and Orange Wheels
Make crepes ahead and freeze. Watch the video to guide you through the process of crepe making at www.thesizzleworks.com/blog/2014/03/ crepes/
For crêpes:
■ 1 ½ cups milk ■ 2 eggs ■ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ■ 1 cup all-purpose flour ■ ¼ teaspoon salt ■ butter, for cooking Combine all ingredients except butter in blender, process until smooth. Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ½ teaspoon of butter to coat the bottom. Using a ¼ cup dry measure, not quite full, scoop batter into hot
■ zest of one orange ■ 2 tbsp butter ■ ¼ c sugar ■ 4 tsp cornstarch ■ dash of salt ■ 1 ½ c freshly squeezed orange juice ■ 1/3 c orange liqueur or brandy for sauce: Combine first six ingredients in saucepan, over medium heat; cook until thick and bubbly. Add brandy.
To assemble:
■ 16 link sausages, cooked ■ 4 oranges, peeled, sliced into wheels Fold crêpes in quarters, arrange in shallow baking dish with sausages. You may refrigerate at this point overnight. Just before baking, place orange wheels in with crepes. Cover with foil, heat at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Reheat sauce and pour over crêpes. Heat 10 minutes longer. Serve hot. Serves eight. The entire dish may be kept warm in a 170°F oven for two hours. ■ 1 teaspoon orange extract or orange liqueur flour, for shaping ■ dried cranberries or currants, for eyes ■ 2 tablespoons melted butter ■ 2-3 tablespoons raw sugar

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Measure biscuit mix into a large mixing bowl; stir in chives. Combine orange zest and sugar, mix well, then add to the biscuit mix. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk and orange liqueur or extract. Gently mix just until soft dough forms. Dust counter lightly with flour. Turn dough out onto flour and pat into a square. Cut the square into nine squares. Gently roll each square in your hands to form an egg shape. Place on prepared sheet. Using scissors, cut ears and tail. Press cranberries or currants into dough for eyes. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with raw sugar if desired. Bake 8-11 minutes, until golden brown.

different characters is also great fun. Use a whole egg to make your own roundy chick: just cut out a beak and two little feet from a piece of orange card stock and stick them on the shell. Gluing on a few feathers makes for a perfect finishing touch. Or, a half of an empty eggshell can quickly be turned into a nest for a fluffy pipe-cleaner baby chicken. A giant egg A truly ambitious project would be to make a giant paper mache Easter egg. The first step is to buy a large balloon, which will have an oval shape once it’s inflated. Then use a mixture of flour and water to glue three or four layers of newspaper strips on to the balloon. Hang the balloon up for at least 12 hours so that the paper mache has time to dry. It can then be painted or decorated as desired. Once that is done, the top end of the egg can be cut off in order to fill it with candies. The kids will love this decorative centerpiece!

altogether if chronic high blood sugar has caused nerve damage in their extremities. There are signs that can’t be confused, such as pallid discoloration of the skin or profuse sweating. But the key is to know the signs that could even hint at a heart attack. According to a 2011 article on Acute Coronary Syndrome by the American Heart Association, most hospitals try to reopen a blocked artery
www.bellevuereporter.com and get oxygenated blood pumping again within four hours of an attack. “Time is tissue,” Burke said. Keep in mind that the sufferer of a heart attack should not lay down on their back. Heart attack sufferers can become nauseated and aspiration of vomit complicates medical care. The sufferer should lay or be lain on their side — their right side if they are pregnant.
Got any aspirin? If you believe you’re exhibiting the symptoms of a heart attack, one of the
steps you can take to minimize the fallout is to take one large — 325 milligram — aspirin or four baby aspirin, Burke said. Because aspirin is a blood platelet inhibitor, it can help prevent blood clots from growing and causing total blockage of an artery. A study published in the Journal of American Cardiology found that, when 12 volunteers had their levels monitored after taking aspirin by three methods — chewing it, swallowing it with water and drinking an Alka Seltzer solution. Chewing was most effective, achieving
platelet inhibition within five minutes. Thinking of it as an investment, aspirin is the penny stock that winds up paying blue-chip dividends. Burke recalled a local yearlong double-blind study of the effectiveness of streptokinase, an anti-clotting drug that cost $2,400 per dose, against 12 cents of aspirin. The results showed aspirin to be more effective in the field, he said.
On the phone Once you’ve called 911, time is of the essence and EMTs will need to make it to the heart attack victim as
soon as possible. Dispatchers will thus try to get as much detail as possible about the location of the attack. What’s your address Are the numbers of your home visible from the street. Is there anything distinctive about your home? What color is it? It pays to memorize these details before there is an emergency, Burke said.
On arrival Dispatch will ask about the nature of the emergency when you call 911 but, remember, heart attacks aren’t always easy to identify. The
THAI FOOD WEEK April 9-15, 2014
caller, not understanding what they’re seeing or experiencing, might not explicitly communicate “heart attack” over the phone. But that’s why EMTs will assess the scene again when they arrive, Burke said. “They’re going to ask a whole bunch of questions,” he said. “When did this start? That’s critical. What does it feel like? Have you ever had this pain before? And, if you did, when? Pretty critical questions.” The technicians will begin stabilization procedures as needed — and if a knowledgeable bystander is able to perform CPR before technicians arrive, it can make a difference in the patient’s recovery, Nelson said. Another valuable preparatory measure is to pick up a “Vial of Life,” a five-inch vial where you put forms with any special medical needs, such as prescribed medicines. Keep the vial in the fridge, where technicians are trained to search. Vials are free and can be obtained through the North Bellevue Community Center or the Medic One Foundation.
At the hospital
See www.uwajimaya.com for all our Thai Week specials, recipes including Phad Thai with Chicken, upcoming store events and more!
In the first five minutes of arriving in the emergency room, staff will begin suspected MI (Myocardial Infarction) protocol. An EKG is obtained right away and the hospital gathers registration and admission information. At five to 10 minutes, Nelson said, an emergency room physician will verify a heart attack is taking place and begin an acute heart attack protocol. That protocol alerts several people within the hospital, including the catheterization lab team, the rapid response nurse and the critical care unit. At 10 to 15 minutes, the physician has spoken to the cardiologist who will oversee percutaneous coronary intervention. At 15 to 40 minutes, the physician will talk to family and inform them about what treatment is taking place. At 40 to 50 minutes, as soon as the cardiologist and cath lab nurse are in the hospital, they contact staff to place the patient in the cardiology room, where they will be subjected to an angiogram and treatment. Overlake Hospital’s goal is to have the artery reopened in 90 minutes, Nelson said. Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com

Kemper Development facing two wrongful death suits BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Munchbar has been closed for more than a year now after a steady history of drunken violence — the last straw being the shooting death of DeShawn Milliken on Christmas Eve 2012. The 30-year-old Renton man was shot multiple times inside the packed nightclub, his sister and another patron also being struck during the shooting. Kemper Development Company, Lincoln Square owner and Munchbar's landlord at the time, issued a news release following the arrest of alleged shooter, Ja'Mari Jones, stating the nightclub would not reopen. "Both parties determined this would be best for the community, guests and the families involved," the statement read. But Milliken's family alleges negligence on the part of the development company and Munchbar for not addressing a pattern of violence, underage drinking, over-serving of bar patrons and inadequate security measures. The family filed suit against both parties in November, seeking compensation for emotional and physical damages, including financial loss due to Milliken's death. This is the first of two wrongful death lawsuits that have been filed against Kemper and Munchbar in less than a year. Paula Harmes, a Pierce County woman whose son, Jacob A. Steinle, died
days after a fight outside the Munchbar in 2012, also filed suit against Kemper, Munchbar and the man she alleges killed him. She also alleges the company, Munchbar and their respective security personnel demonstrated negligence in not mitigating safety issues surrounding the nightclub. While Kemper Development hasn't filed a formal answer to Harmes' suit, it denies the allegations in the wrongful death complaint filed by Milliken's family. At one point in the company's answer to the complaint, it states "that if Plaintiffs have sustained any injuries and/or damages, then such injuries and/ or damages may have been caused by the negligent conduct of Plaintiffs." There were more than 600 patrons at Munchbar on Dec. 24, 2012, including Seattle Seahawks fans celebrating a recent team victory. Milliken and his sister, Destiny, were allegedly standing near Jones in the club, when court documents state Milliken tackled his alleged murderer. A friend of Jones' reportedly intervened. It was at this point that Jones is alleged to have pulled out a handgun and shot DeShawn Milliken several times in the back. His family states in its lawsuit that Destiny Milliken was grazed by bullets and another patron was struck during the shooting. The suit states she watched her brother die on the nightclub floor. Jones, who was 19 at the time of the shooting, was later apprehended in a
stolen vehicle, along with his 20-year-old girlfriend, and charged with seconddegree murder. He has pleaded not guilty, and his case is set for trial on Nov. 17, with an omnibus pretrial hearing set for July. Jones previously served less than a year in juvenile detention for his part in the 2008 beating death of Ed "Tuba Man" McMichael, a Seattle street musician, in 2008. Milliken's family alleges Munchbar had bouncers working the night of his death, but failed to prevent Jones — an underaged and armed man — from entering the establishment. "Kemper Development Company allowed invitees to its property to be exposed to the jeopardy of being seriously injured or killed," states the complaint. "As the owner who had control over the premises, Kemper Development Company failed to take reasonable precautions within its control to protect the patrons of the Munchbar from the acts of third parties that were foreseeable given the incidents that preceded December 23-24, 2012." Kemper Development Company states
in its March 12 answer to the complaint that it is praying for dismissal of the lawsuit and that Milliken's family pay for its attorneys fees. It also requests that "fault, if any, between the parties be apportioned as provided by applicable law." In the nearly two years Munchbar was in operation, Bellevue Police responded to 377 calls for service at the nightclub. It was used as an example for just why the department needed a chronic nuisance ordinance passed to allow officers to declare a business or residence a nuisance and initiate a plan to resolve its issues. City Council passed the ordinance March 17, which allows the police chief to declare a business or residence a chronic nuisance if three or more defined activities occur there within 60 days or seven within a 12-month period. The chief can do the same if the property has been the subject of at least two court determinations that specified crimes have occurred there. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Interlake’s Sullivan wants to put BELAX on state map BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Before the 2014 season even began, Camille Sullivan had a plan for her Bellevue East girls lacrosse team. After winning the Division II championship during the 2011 season, BELAX missed out on a playoff berth last year in Division I. That left Sullivan, an Interlake High School senior and Princeton commit, determined to provide a more fitting ending in her final prep campaign. “Ever since last season ended, I knew we needed to work hard and get into the playoffs,” she said. “I think we have the chance to do something great here.” That belief, according to head coach Craig Van Der Horn, has transferred to the rest of the team as well. During a recent game against perennial power Lake Sammamish, with her team in need of an emotion lift, it was Sullivan delivering the inspirational message. Even though that game ended in a loss, Van Der Horn said the way his team responded in the face of a deficit was evidence of an evolving mindset.
“That type of tenacity is great for the other players to see, and they feed off of it,” Van Der Horn said. “They are catching up to the intensity.” Georgia Phillips, a Sammamish High School sophomore and fellow midfielder with Sullivan, said the lessons on the field have been plentiful. “She’s always really intense in whatever she does,” Phillips said of Sullivan. “She’s always going 100 percent and she really motivates people.” Sullivan said that wasn’t always the case, but has been a vital aspect of both her growth as a player and the cohesion of a BELAX team that draws players from three high schools. “It is definitely an aspect that is difficult for our program,” she said. “I love every single girl out here, and I know she is giving 100 percent.” While Sullivan’s work on the field has helped BELAX to a state championship and gained her recognition as one of the top players in the region, it is her dedication in the classroom that helped land her in the Ivy League with the Tigers. Sullivan said the intensely competi-

Bellevue, Interlake in KingCo title hunt on diamond afternoon at the plate, with a run scored and two runs batted in.
BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
The 2A/3A KingCo baseball season is only a week old, and Bellevue finds itself at the top after three wins. After dropping its first two games of the year, first to Seattle Prep and then 4A Eastlake, the Wolverines salvaged a tie with crosstown Newport and beat Sammamish 10-0. Bellevue followed that with a 9-3 win over Lake Washington to stay unbeaten in conference play, and handled Juanita 8-2 Wednesday before meeting fellow KingCo frontrunner Interlake Friday. The Saints beat Liberty 12-1 before taking care of Mount Si 6-3 Monday, before losing 10-2 to Mercer Island Wednesday to move its conference record to 2-1 on the young season. Nate Wehner picked up the win on the mound against the Patriots, working five innings and allowing only one run on three hits, striking out four. Ibrahim Mardini knocked in four runs in the victory. Henry Lin and Jason Sass combined on the effort on the mound and at the plate in the win over the Wildcats. Lin worked four innings and two-thirds, and allowed only a single earned run, while also collecting a pair of RBIs and two base hits of his own. Sass worked in relief to get the save, and had a 2-for-2
Totems fighting uphill for 2A playoffs
Sammamish is off to a rough start in conference play, dropping games to Bellevue and Mercer Island. The Totems lost 8-1 to Mount Si Wednesday, and meet Liberty Friday.
Knights keeping pace in 4A KingCo
Newport fell victim to a late comeback in a 3-2 loss to Inglemoor Monday, and were dropped by the same count against Redmond Wednesday before stepping out of conference play to face South Kitsap Saturday. The Knights are behind Roosevelt in the Crest Division standings, battling for position with surging Skyline. Sumair Shah and Ethan Paul have led the offense, with Shah batting .292 with seven runs scored and nine runs batted in. Paul has added a .348 average with four RBIs, four doubles and a home run. Todd Reese has been the workhorse on the mound, tossing a team high 20 innings while posting a 1-1 mark. The team has a 2.15 ERA as a staff, but head coach Brad Files would likely hope to see a decrease in the 33 base on balls issued by his pitchers.
A year after missing the 4A KingCo tournament, Newport looks to be in prime position for a postseason berth as the conference slate nears its halfway mark.
Bellevue softball pulls even
The Wolverines beat Interlake 10-0 Monday to pull their conference record even at 2-2 on the year, and take on Liberty April 14. Dejah Rogers and Sammie Trulson each knocked in two runs in the win over the Saints. Interlake and Sammamish meet April 14 with the Totems looking to keep pace with fellow 2A squad Lake Washington for the conference’s only district playoff berth. The Totems, 3-4 overall, beat Liberty 8-2 for their first KingCo win of the year.
Newport leading pack in softball
Two wins in its last three games has Newport sitting at 2-1 in 4A KingCo and at the top of the division, along with Skyline. The Knights beat the Spartans 8-4 behind a complete game performance in the pitcher’s circle from Kat Wood, who struck out two and allowed only two earned runs.

Bellevue’s boys lacrosse team, still unbeaten in Washington state play and atop the conference standings, began its annual Spring Break trip to the east coast Wednesday. The Wolverines are set to face three teams in Virginia, beginning with the St. Stephens & St. Agnes School. Bellevue will also visit Langley, and play Dominion on the campus of the University of Virginia. The team is also scheduled to watch two of the nation’s top collegiate programs face off, as Duke visits UVA. In their last game before the break, Eric Haehl scored three goals to lead his team to a 9-4 win over Lake Washington. Cole Cansler, a senior goalie, finished with 10 saves in the win.

Wright Runstad & Co. President Greg Johnson discusses his company’s Spring District project with seniors at International School. DANIEL NASH, Bellevue Reporter
Considering the Spring District during International School’s Focus Week BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
Most weeks, students of Wilburton’s International School are challenged to think globally, applying lessons from their core curriculum to interactions across the world. But on April 4, senior students gathered in Andrew Ivy’s classroom were looking a little closer to home: less than two miles north toward the site of the coming Spring District. Wright Runstad & Co. President Greg Johnson was on hand to explain the vision of the mixed-use commercial and residential project, as well as the process of making such a large-scale project happen. Later he would take the class on a tour of the 36-acre site itself. The group of seniors — who had all chosen “Go Urban!” as their area of study for Focus Week — had spent every day that week venturing out of the classroom to look at neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and South Lake Union, considering subjects like gentrification and the challenges of construction in already densely developed areas. “For the most part, these are new ideas to the kids,” Ivy, normally an international studies instructor, said. Focus Week, held March 31 to April 4 this year, is International School’s method of ensuring their students graduate with required occupational and elective credits, as well as a means of introducing concepts not covered in the classroom setting. For each of the seven years they spend at International, students pick one of nearly two dozen foci to explore: they might tour one of the city’s many video game studios in a design course, take their ideas for short
films from script to screen, or draw their own floor plans in “Architecture 101.” “The purpose of the week is to expose kids to these careers that are out there,” principal Jennifer Rose said. “To find out what aspects of a career engages them. Or doesn’t. They can take the academic work they already do and see how it applies in the real world.” After introducing himself and his role as president (“We have about 72 people working for Wright Runstad,” Johnson said. “My role is to help conceptualize new projects and then get out of the way.”), Johnson showed students a map of Bellevue with the Spring District highlighted. “An analysis of any project stars at this level to understand how it affects the area,” Johnson said. “Planning in an urban area … you need to understand the regional context. Where do people live? Where do they work? Where do they want to be? “The site’s location at an intersection where you have major freeways is where it starts to become interesting, because so many people are coming by already. It’s something to think about.” Johnson segued into a discussion of the East Link light rail project and how Wright Runstad had accounted for rail commuters in its plans for the Spring District. Ivy chimed in to point out the relative difficulty of bringing rail transit to a built-up democratic municipal government like Seattle compared to Dubai, where he had lived eight years and SEE FOCUS, 25

Raising and respecting babies in a hi-tech world respect their developmental needs and slow down to match their rhythms? Babies learn about relationships in their first year. Until they are able to use and understand language, babies rely on non-verbal communication. They learn about relationships by the way a parent looks lovingly into their eyes, by the softness of the parent’s voice and by the gentleness and respectfulness of their touch as babies are bathed and diapered. Respect is key — giving them your undivided attention during routine caregiving

Several students asked how the developer planned to convince people and businesses to populate the District once it was built. While acknowledging that could be an uncertainty of land development, Johnson said he hoped a brewhouse and food trucks would bring attract adults. Housing, in the form of an apartment complex expected to be completed in 2016, could bring a first wave of people in as well, he said. “What would you like to see?” he asked. One student suggested grocery stores. Another suggested a farmer’s market and yet another suggested more green space. “Maybe a center where everyone can congregate,” student Melody Saysana said. “Like a pool.” Later Saysana asked what the benefit was of building the Spring District in phases. “That’s a great question: Why not build it all at once?” Johnson said. “We were talking earlier about risk and risky ventures. If you build it all at once and then we go into an economic downturn, then companies aren’t expanding. And they aren’t going to rent that space from you. People aren’t going to move to the area and they aren’t going to rent that apartment. So what we like to do is just build enough so we can meet the demand that we see for the next few years. And we know we can start building more if the demand keeps coming. But I can assure you as you go through the arc of your careers, every seven to 10 years you will see an economic downturn.”

seen rail installed quickly. “How does it go across water?” student Samuel Winter asked. “Does it go across the bridge?” “It does, it will go across that center partition on the bridge,” Johnson said. “The idea is to make sure the rail goes where people go. So you have Microsoft here, University of Washington here. Then you have airports, Renton. When you’re planning a transit system you have to think about those things and you want to think about those things because the free flow of people and ideas matters.” Johnson discussed the expected population increases in the Bellevue area, how they factored into the city’s zoning policies for the Bel-Red corridor and how those affected the plan for the Spring District. The plan called for mostly commercial space — but no major shopping centers — with some residential buildings. By setting policy, the city council laid out how they wanted their community to grow, Johnson said. “So do private companies just have to follow the plan?” a student asked. “It has the force of law, so yes,” Johnson said. “However, if you want to do something you can’t do, you can ask for a variance.” “So there are inducements for (businesses and residences) to transition to the plan,” Ivy added. “There are pieces of this zoning plan that nudge people along.”

from each other using Teaching Channel, a tool for video-based professional development. “The Teaching Channel provides us an opportunity to capture real-time what is happening in Bellevue classrooms and quickly share with colleagues around the district,” explained Cheri Bortleson, instructional technology curriculum leader at Ardmore Elementary. “It supports collaboration among teachers in a unique way where we can share ideas to enhance student outcomes, ask questions of one another regarding student learning, and develop lesson ideas.” While Washington state has the highest concentration of STEM jobs in the country, the mismatch between the skills required for those jobs and individuals with those skills is growing faster than in every state but one. “It’s so important that we engage students and equip them with 21st century skills,”
Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com explained Greg Bianchi, Bellevue School District’s K-5 STEM curriculum developer. “Interest in STEM fields often begins in the elementary years. Even kids who don’t choose to pursue STEM careers will benefit from the focus on teamwork and critical thinking.” During one recent challenge, Ardmore Elementary kindergartners worked in teams to build ramps and launch toy vehicles, learning about concepts such as claim, evidence, reasoning, and force as they adjusted the slope of the ramps to affect the distance traveled. Each group then shared their results with an audience of parents and teachers. “We did it! We got the bus to Safeco Field!” shouted one enthusiastic student. With continued support from Bellevue Schools Foundation, the pilot will expand to six more schools next year and all elementary schools the following year. “We are not looking for a magnet model,” said Bianchi. “We are looking for STEM for every child.” Julie Benson is communications manager of the Bellevue Schools Foundation.
helps babies feel their caregivers love and tender caring. This helps them feel secure so that they are comfortable studying the shadows on the wall, examining their toes or carefully exploring play objects without needing adult entertainment or stimulation at other times. Respect is telling them what you are going to do, “ I think you’re hungry, I’m going to pick you up so I can feed you.” Respect is giving them a few minutes to see if they can settle themselves when they are fussy. Respect is balancing their need for your careful attention and care with uninterrupted time to do their “baby work” — laying comfortably on the floor strengthening their muscles in preparation for sitting, crawling and walking, working to grasp a toy that is
almost within reach — trusting their innate curiosity and motivation to figure some things out on their own and allowing them to develop the confidence that comes from doing so. When a parent is distracted and their attention is divided, babies do not experience the attention and caring they need and are less comfortable exploring independently. Being fully present at some times, allows both parents and babies to be independent at other times, enabling both parents and babies to attend to their own “work,” comforted by the security of their relationship.

Once upon a time, babies were born into a world that moved more slowly. As technology opens up endless possibilities for sharing and collaboration it also blurs boundaries between work and home. Our devices beckon us day and night. We take pride in multitasking as life gets busier and everything feels more urgent. But while life moves faster for adults, babies are new to this world. Their needs are very basic. They are easily over-stimulated and their natural pace is much slower. With endless bids for our attention how do we

Hook family home in Norwood Village, c. 1957. COURTESY
PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center
Norwood Village
The planned residential community of Norwood Village on the Woodridge Hill was one of the earliest developments near Bellevue. The photo above shows the Hook family home, completed in 1950. Norwood Village was developed by the Veterans Mutual Building Association, which was founded by World War II veterans after the war in response to the housing shortage. They purchased 30 acres for $875, and were given another 20 acres by adjacent landowners. By 1950, 60 families had arranged to purchase homes there and construction started. Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. To learn more about Bellevue and Eastside history contact the Eastside Heritage Center at 425-450-1049 or visit EastsideHeritageCenter.org.
the cause of death was aspiration pneumonia and urinary tract infection due to prolonged hospitalization and immobility due to pelvic fracture with hematoma. She was elected Bellevue's first female mayor in 1988 after serving two terms on the Bellevue City Council. Schultz is alleged to have denied using the butane method of making hash oil, preferring isopropyl alcohol instead. Eight exploded cans of butane were recorded by investigators being found in the parking lot and shrubs around the apartment. Strycharske allegedly admitted to investigators that Schultz was shooting butane, using tubes and glass found inside their apartment, and that it could take up to five cans to do the job. Undamaged butane cans were also found. Explosions caused by amateur hash oil manufacturing in residential neighborhoods has been on the rise across the state over the past year. It reportedly caused another explosion in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood in early March, among others around King County. The criminal investigation into the Hampton Greens apartment complex fire was conducted with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

sion. A construction worker reported speaking to a man he witnessed assembling parts for what he said was a device for making hash oil for his dispensary. The construction worker notified the Hampton Greens maintenance supervisor, who allegedly told the tenants to bring a compressor inside the apartment and off the deck. The complex manager later called police to check on the allegations. Documents state the officer went to the apartment and cautioned the occupants that making hash oil would be a violation of the lease, which was reportedly only held by one of the men there. There appears to be a gray area in the law regarding making hash oil in a residence, which Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said during Monday's council meeting should be banned under an ordinance being drafted ahead of recreational marijuana sales in Bellevue. The council also requested Monday that the ordinance be brought to them as soon as possible. The Washington Legislature in March passed a bill allowing the sales of marijuana concentrates at licensed pot stores. According to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the sale of recreational marijuana could start by July. The Bellevue City Council also is considering whether to ban marijuana businesses in the city based on an opinion by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who states local governments have the power to do so and also regulate such business in their jurisdictions. Robertson has stated she intends on supporting the will of Bellevue voters, who voted to approve I-502 by 59 percent in 2012. Robertson said in a phone interview with the Reporter on Tuesday the city should regulate hash oil, which is extremely dangerous to manufacture using butane, considering there are other methods for extraction. "My understanding as a council member, not as a lawyer, is that the state does not regulate the home processing of marijuana for those with medical marijuana cards," said Robertson. "… I don't think the ordinance will keep medical patients from having access to their medicine. It really is about preventing fires, like what happened at Hampton Greens."

Retired transportation economist and Redmond City Councilman Hank Myers was doing volunteer work in his community when he proposed the idea of creating a nonprofit organization to help seniors maintain their independence by providing essential services that allow them to remain in their own homes. “My friend said that agency already exists,” Myers recalled. “That’s when she told me about Eastside Friends of Seniors.” Two years later, Myers is the new director of the volunteer organization that operates out of offices in the basement of the Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church on the Sammamish Plateau. Eastside Friends of Seniors provides free rides to medical appointments, help with shopping and basic home maintenance that allows seniors to maintain their independence as well as their dignity by allowing them to remain safe and comfortable in their own homes. The nonprofit agency be-

Last year, volunteers with Eastside Friends of Seniors drove more than 20,000 miles transporting seniors to medical appointments and to the grocery store. Groups of volunteers have

favorite story in the department. My husband was mortified. Besides having the youngest kid in the room, he quickly realized he was also the only man. My husband isn’t easily intimidated, but 10 pairs of mean-mom eyes from what he described as the “Momfia” made him feel out of place very quickly. Dads always belong in story time, but several men in the library have mentioned that they often feel outnumbered. With this in mind, the Bellevue Library has an all-ages family story time for fathers, uncles, grandfathers and other male caregivers. These take place Monday nights at 6:15 and run until April 28. Registration is not necessary. Story time is led by Bellevue children’s librarian Larry Wawro, who chooses a wide variety of books everyone will enjoy — and he brings his guitar. A current story time favorite is the bean bag song. Ladies, it’s your turn to sit this one out. I suggest booking a pedicure appointment for Monday evenings. Guys, bring your kids to story time with Larry. Make some noise! (But quietly, please. You are in a library.)

I
had just started my job at the Bellevue branch of the King County Library System when my husband and twoyear-old son decided to meet me at the library for lunch. There was a special holiday story time in the morning and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for my husband to experience story time with our son. I was wrong. Anyone with a toddler knows there are good days and bad. This was one of the bad. It was an all-ages story time, with stories about gingerbread men and candy canes, but my son was probably the youngest kid in the room and just not interested. Ultimately he was booted from story time because he just wouldn’t sit still. Darcy Brixey Booted is probably a strong word. I think he was invited to explore other parts of the library because he was just too wiggly. I didn’t get to witness this because I was upstairs on the reference desk slinging information. Because I was fairly new to the branch, the librarian didn’t know my family yet. She was embarrassed when she learned that my son was the one acting up during story time. I found the whole situation hilarious and it’s now a

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. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
