Council pushes back on light rail maintenance locations BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue councilmembers are continuing to urge Sound Transit to consider siting its large operations and maintenance satellite facility — meant for servicing its East Link light rail fleet outside of the city's Bel-Red corridor — to prevent what they see as severe impacts to the redevelopment area. With Sound Transit still eyeing 2023 to launch its expanded East Link service, the
transit agency states its SODO maintenance facility is too small to handle the additional fleet of about 180 vehicles, and is now proposing several site alternatives in Bellevue — three in the Bel-Red corridor — and Lynwood. It began its 45-day public comment period through June 23 and plans to identify a preferred site on July 24. An option to construct an operations and maintenance facility in Bellevue between the Eastside Rail Corridor and 120th Avenue Northeast — south of SR-520
FARMERS MARKET FUN Food, fun, flowers and more were on display May 15, as the Bellevue Farmers Market opened its 2014 season on Saturdays in the parking lot of the Bellevue Presbyterian Church, 1717 Bellevue Way N.E. Fresh vegetables were in abundance, as were flowers. Face-painting was a popular attraction for kids. In all, there are three farmers markets in Bellevue, including one at Crossroads Shopping Center, which will be open from noon to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday beginning May 26 at 15600 N.E.

— was determined to be the cheapest of the alternatives. It would take up about 23 of the 27 acres on the site, leaving four acres for redevelopment. Due to zoning, Sound Transit would require a conditional use permit for this alternative. There is also a modified version of this plan. Councilmembers told Sound Transit staff Monday that alternatives cutting through the Bel-Red corridor and utilizing Burlington Northern-Santa Fe will have negative economic impacts as redevelopment —
including the Spring District project — continues in the area. The BNSF alternative in question would displace 14 businesses and is inconsistent with current zoning, but also would have the least impact on natural resources and is the least expensive to construct.

BC students, staff crowd meeting on Metro Transit cuts BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A strong contingent of Bellevue College students and faculty amassed at Bellevue City Hall on May 15 to push the King County Council to reconsider rerouting Route 271 away from campus as part of a 16-percent cut in transit service to shore up losses in state sales tax revenue over the past five years. The council began taking public comment about the cuts and route revisions after Proposition No. 1 — a funding measure for the recently formed King County Transportation Benefit District — failed in April. The first round of service reductions is slated for September, cutting 161,000 hours in King County and another 56,000 hours in northeast King County in February. Two more rounds of cuts will occur in June and September 2015. The council is set to approve the cuts at its June 9 meeting. Alex Clark, environmental and social responsibility representative for the Associated Student Government of Bellevue College, said students and faculty were happy when planned cuts were scaled back and Route 245 was spared the chopping block, but moving Route 271 away from campus will affect 900 daily riders. "The stop that's proposed to be cut is in the heart of campus," he told the Reporter on Thursday. Ahead of public testimony, King County transportation staff updated Eastside residents on the proposed cuts and its formula for selecting which routes to reduce, cut, consolidate or change.

Fire damages $2M home for sale Enatai property had been up for sale; no occupants at time of blaze BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue Fire Department is estimating a $2.1 million home up for sale on the 3100 block of 110th Avenue Southeast sustained at least $750,000 in damage during an early morning fire Monday. Firefighters responded to the three-story home around 12:30 a.m., and believe the fire started on the first floor in the back of the house. It spread up to the upper two levels

The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire, and no one was injured. One firefighter did fall through the third
floor into the second, but Burke said he was able to hold onto a fire hose. “We had a firefighter who went through the floor, from Floor 3 to Floor 2. He was not injured and he stayed on the scene,” he said. “He pushed through an area where he’d been working and down he went. He kind of rode the hose down, held onto the fire hose and landed on his feet.” Initial reports were that a gas-powered fire pit in the back of the house may have been the cause of the fire, but Burke said nothing is definitive at this time as the investigation remains active.

California drought a cautionary tale for water alliance BY BRANDON MACZ
The Cascade Water Alliance celebrated its 15th anniversary May 15 with a luncheon that highlighted the collaborative efforts of Eastside cities to ensure their water needs continue to be met decades into the future — the type of teamwork that has been needed in California to tackle a severe drought across the state. “You can count on the fact that this is going to happen and we need to get ready for it,” said Will Stelle, administrator for the northwest region of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service and CWA keynote speaker. “… We’re not ready.” Stelle said it was apparent 2014 would be a disaster for California in terms of
drought by January. “What you could hear was real fear, fear that they were going to lose control of the (Sacramento-San Joaquin River) Delta,” he said. California reservoirs are all at 50 percent or lower on average this year, with no snow pack in the Sierra Nevadas expected to alleviate the crisis. Wetter weather in February and March helped, but what Stelle said is critical in keeping ahead of drought is cooperation between fisheries, water service operators and water quality managers, and being able to change how the system is operated in real time. “You don’t have the luxury of time to fiddle around,” Stelle said. “… Don’t get into chasing errors because you’ll spend a lot of time doing it.” While California had

a 1,000-page biological opinion regarding joint operations for how to manage reservoirs, pumping rates, gate operations, salinity control and more, Stelle said in the face of a drought there is not much time for critical assessments. Stelle said he took a lot of guff when looking at saving spring chinook salmon from dying off while also allowing temporary increases in water exports out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. He said its important that, even in the face of opposition, stakeholders
stand by their decisions and be collectively prepared to take greater risks.

Anneliese Marie was Cynthia Thomas’ third daughter, and a picture of health on Oct. 27, 2012. Her mother placed her on her back in her crib to sleep. When Thomas returned to check on her 4-month-old, Anneliese Marie was dead — the cause was determined to be sudden infant death syndrome. Now Thomas is working hard to raise funds to support research that may better assist in finding the risk factors for SIDS and how to prevent it. “I followed all the rules with my daughter, all the rules that they recommend, and she still died,” Thomas said. “We need to fund research, so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.” Thomas, 34, started Strollin’ to Fight SIDS — a 5K fundraising walk — last year with her friend, Tiffany SparksKeeny. It was the first SIDS fundraising walk in Washington state. “I was just so devastated — obviously — by grief, but there was just no way I could pull this off by myself,” said Thomas, giving much credit for last year’s walk to SparksKeeny. Thomas was also diagnosed with cancer just one week after her daughter’s death. The second annual Strollin’ to Fight SIDS walk will be at 10:30 a.m. June 7 at the Newport High School track course, with registration at 10 a.m. Online registration can be found at strollintofightsids.org. Funds raised go to the CJ Foundation for SIDS, and Thomas said $4,000 has been raised so far through sponsors. This year’s fundraising goal is $10,000. “We’re getting really close and I hope we exceed it,” T:4.833” Thomas said.

County has world’s highest survival rate for cardiac arrest Someone who has a cardiac arrest in King County has a greater chance of survival than anyone else in the world, according the latest analysis by county officials. The survival rate for cardiac arrest in King County hit an all-time high of 62 percent in 2013. By comparison, the cardiac survival rates in New York City, Chicago and other urban areas have been recorded in the single digits. “People are alive today in King County who would not have survived in most other places in the country,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Our system delivers rapid, high-quality critical care wherever you are.” King County’s success in saving lives is based in a coordinated, regional system where everyone — dispatchers, first responders, fire departments, law enforcement, paramedics, urgent care centers, and others — is guided by consistent medical direction and evidence-based practice. The cardiac survival rate in King County has dramatically risen over the past decade or so, from an above-average 27 percent in 2002 to 62 percent in 2013. Strategies that have contributed to the rise include: · Adoption of high-performance CPR method by emergency medical technicians to maximize oxygen circulation and increase survival chances. · Adoption of telecommunicator CPR, whereby 911 emergency personnel provide
instant CPR instructions by phone. · Increasing public availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), including more than 100 in King County facilities, and placement of AEDs in many law enforcement vehicles, including with King County Sheriff ’s deputies. · High rates of CPR training for local residents. · A regional paramedic training program, funded by charitable contributions, that

facility that would impact transit oriented development around light rail violates the planning that has been done. Councilmember John Chelminiak said a "50-acre parking lot doesn't make sense" in areas slated for transit oriented development and that Sound Transit needs to "take a step back” and reassess its options. A modified proposal by Sound Transit to split the facility in half on the east and west sides of the BNSF railway corridor with a 200-foot buffer didn't strike the council as being any better, as that option will displace 25 businesses and require relocating the city's public safety training center. Both of these options at 120th Avenue Northeast would utilize the old International Paper corrugated container plant site, which Sound Transit purchased last year. Another proposal to site the facility south of State Route 520, at the corner of Northeast 20th Street and 130th Avenue Northeast would displace 101 businesses and negatively impact future tax revenues. Councilmembers pressed Sound Transit staff to look closer at its Lynnwood option, which would be north on Interstate 5 and east of 52nd Avenue West. Michael Williams, director of Sound Transit's Office of Light Rail Development, said difficulties with that option include having to shorten service hours and coming to an agreement with the Edmonds School District, which is planning facility improve-

Williams added the Lynnwood site would mean an additional $3 million operations cost per year for Sound Transit. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said more than $6 million in city tax revenue is estimated to be lost annually through either of the two options that would put the maintenance facility at the International Paper site. Wright Runstad, which is leading development of the Spring District, also has come out in opposition to using the International Paper site. "It doesn't belong there," Robertson told the Reporter, adding if Sound Transit can't be flexible, "This could affect the next phase of the (memorandum of understanding)." Sound Transit will host a public hearing at 5-7:30 p.m. June 5 at the Coast Bellevue Hotel, the results of which will be shared with the City Council.

The EMS/Medic One program since has become a model nationwide for delivery of lifesaving firstresponder services. In recognition of EMS/Medic One system’s excellence, Constantine and the King County Council proclaimed the week of May 19-25 as Emergency Medical Services Week in King County. “I am so proud of our King County EMS. Their commitment to outstanding service and adaptation of technology is what led to this new higher survival rate,” said King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert, chair of the Law, Justice, Health and Human Services Committee. “It’s another great reason why we have a high quality of life in King County.” Emergency Medical Services in King County operates in a coordinated partnership with five dispatch centers, six paramedic providers, and 30 fire departments. It is funded through a countywide Medic One/EMS levy.

Free opportunities for summer learning
I
hated summers in eastern Washington where I grew up. I’d find respite in the cool basement of my parents’ house with a glass of lemonade and a stack of books. Some mornings, I’d leave the house for babysitting gigs but, most of the time, my adventures were confined within the pages of mystery and horror novels. On the rare occasions I’d venture outside, it was to attempt a tan in the backyard. Accompanying me on my beach towel was a Walkman, a stack of cassettes from ’80s boy bands, a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic and a novel. By late afternoon, I’d have finished my book and would wander into the kitchen with an empty stomach and a sunburn. I’d put together strange ingredients for snacks or experiment just to see what fizzled and bubbled, or what tasted good. It was fun stirring up Darcy Brixey ingredients in kitchen science experiments. It was all about learning, I just didn’t know that. The library system recognizes that kids who continue to learn, read and experiment throughout summer break are better prepared for the next school year. What was once considered the summer reading program has expanded into a Summer Learning Program. Reading is still a prime component, but the library is encouraging kids to go a step further and try out some science experiments. The summer themes this year cover learning and science: Fizz Boom Read for children and Spark a Reaction for teens. Starting June 1, kids can start marking their reading goals of 500 minutes and the opportunity to complete an activity for different badges with STREAM topics (science, technology, reading, engineering, art or math). Soon a full list of programs for children and teens will appear on the KCLS website. Check www.kcls.org/kids/summer or www.kcls.org/teens/summer. Reading is still strongly encouraged this summer, but we hope families will enjoy the science programs the libraries are offering. Whether your kids are reading at the beach, or downloading ebooks from home, enjoy. It’s a quick two month vacation, and if they’re having fun they may not even notice they are learning. Just don’t forget the sunscreen. Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library.

Total compensation key in $15 wage debate
O
ne of the problems with the minimum wage debate is the name itself. If we want to ensure that we don’t hurt lower-income workers, we should consider total compensation, not just wages. Case in point: Bill H. earns $15 an hour as a parking lot attendant. Lisa W. earns $12.25 an hour at a fast food restaurant. But Lisa’s Don Brunell employer provides merit raises, paid vacations, health insurance, management training, education scholarships, childcare assistance and a 401(k) retirement plan. Who is better off ? Would it help or hurt Lisa if she lost all her benefits, but gained $2.75 an hour in wages? We need to consider that question as part of any debate about the minimum wage. The truth is raising the minimum wage is not as clear or as simple as some would have us believe. Let’s leave aside for a moment the fact that no city or state has ever attempted to raise its minimum wage by 60 percent. Most experts agree that the more extreme and abrupt

the increase, the more economic casualties it creates — lost jobs and lost opportunities. But as any employer knows, there is much more to employee compensation than wages. According to a March 2014 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, private sector employers pay an additional 30 percent on top of wages for employee benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, workers compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, paid leave, health care, retirement, etc. For example, the BLS reports that, while the average service worker makes $12.17 an hour, their benefits bring their total compensation to $16.95 per hour. Because Washington’s current minimum wage is the highest in the nation, employer costs — and employee benefits — are likely greater here. Take Dick’s Drive-In, for example. An iconic Seattle-area institution for 60 years, Dick’s Drive-in provides good wages and generous employee benefits. According to Jasmine Donovan, granddaughter of founder Dick Spady, employees start at $10.25 an hour, receive regular merit raises, health insurance, $22,000 in
scholarships over four years, childcare assistance, bonuses, paid vacations, a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50 percent employer match and paid volunteer time at local charities. These benefits push the total compensation for employees of Dick’s Drive-In above the targeted $15 per hour minimum wage. But, if the company is forced to bump wages to $15 per hour, it will not be able to afford the employee benefits it currently provides. Donovan cautions, “Employees who earn higher taxable wages, but lose valuable tax-free benefits may end up worse off.” The same is true for the employees of Burgerville restaurants. Founded in the 1960s, Burgerville operates 39 restaurants from Centralia, Washington to Albany, Ore. These benefits have value — value that must be considered in any discussion about raising the minimum wage.

Downtown Park to get a new neighbor 99 Park Restaurant to offer globally inspired cuisine Micah Pittman has invested in many real estate ventures around the world, but 99 Park will be his first restaurant in the United States, which he says is designed to reflect the best aspects of his global experiences. Pittman bought the two-story building under construction at 99 102nd Ave. N.E., in 2007. It was going to be leveled to make way for a 10-story, 110-room boutique hotel, and was shovel-ready in August 2011.
But then Abu Dhabi-based developer, Hydra Developments, for which Pittman is its CEO, dropped the project due to investors pulling out. Pittman spent the next two years traveling out of country — mixing business and pleasure along the way — and came back to Bellevue with a desire to blend his experiences into a restaurant with the only view of Downtown Park. “I thought, ‘You know, the economy is doing really well and I just felt like the Bellevue market, I would say, was really underrepresented in the

Settlement to expedite Target construction BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The city of Bellevue’s Northeast Fourth Street extension project and its affiliated property settlement will be a major benefit to the Target Corporation. The company is getting approval to construct a three-story storefront on 116th Avenue Northeast streamlined as a result. City staff and councilmembers approved settlements earlier this month with the Corporation Service Company of Tumwater. It is the owner of affected properties under lease by Best Buy and Home Depot, where Northeast Fourth will cut through a portion of the electronics store and a shared parking lot.

The certificate will be granted to students in Ada’s inaugural class upon completion of their internships with one of 13 local technology companies. Ada trains women who do not have prior programming experience but demonstrate high aptitude and interest for careers in the software industry, where there is a significant and long-standing gender gap. It combines six months of intensive classroom instruction with six months of internship experience at Puget Sound-area technology businesses. Ada students are immersed in software development and learn up-to-date web development skills. During the internship portion of the program, students gain hands-on experience and function as part of a software development team delivering code for real applications.
City exploring Tateuchi Center partnership Memorandum of understanding commits city to $63K for independent study BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The potential for a grossly underfunded performing arts center to ever break ground in Bellevue through a public-private partnership will be assessed through a memorandum of understanding between the city and Performing Arts Center Eastside. The memorandum commits the city to $63,200 in general fund spending to explore options through outside consultants. The Tateuchi Center is a $160-mil-

lion, 175,000-square-foot performing arts center proposed to be constructed at the corner of Northeast 10th Street and 106th Avenue Northeast. Funding remains stuck at about $65 million, with the largest contribution — $25 million — coming from the Atsuhiko and Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation, for which the center is now named. PACE had intended for the Tateuchi Center to take off as a private project, constructing on land donated by Kemper Freeman Jr., but its board members blame the recession in 2008 for the long-term decline in funding momentum over the past five years. The plan for the performing arts center has been in motion since 2002, but talks of such a destination spot in Bellevue has been ongoing since the 1980s.

Adoption of the land use amendment allows the city and Target to enter into a development agreement that will allow the 137,000-square-foot storefront to be constructed on the third level, along with 90,000 square feet of parking on the second level and 15,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. The City Council did not speak about the land use code amendment Monday and approved it as a consent agenda item.

Target has submitted its design for review and anticipates starting construction in July, with a completion goal of October 2015. The development agreement does propose design guidelines for the commercial business land use district to be formed, which will treat the Target store and other retail development there as part of an urban village. “Any urban village in this area will ultimately have a mix of commercial and residential uses and therefore the juxtaposition of any new building with surrounding residential — either existing or planned for the future — is important,” the guidelines state.

Metro cuts to impact Safe Place program

when they were informed the county's transportation service development manager had been delayed when the bus he needed to take to the Bellevue Transit Center had passed him at his stop due to overcrowding. "I have no response for that one," said John Resa, the county's principal legislative analyst. A Bellevue College staff representative echoed other comments from students and faculty that having the closest stop to campus at 148th Avenue Southeast will require walking a third of a mile to classes, creating not only problems with distance — especially for those with disabilities — but also safety for those attending night courses. Many said traffic on 148th is already bad, and one wheelchair-bound student said it is hard to navigate sidewalks along the street. Another student told the council revising Route 271 eliminates a connection from the Eastgate Park and Ride to the Issaquah Transit Center. My-Linh Thai with the Bellevue School Board asked the King County Council to consider how other proposed route changes will affect students
in the Bellevue School District, including creating safety issues and trouble getting to school and afterschool programs. One Crossroads resident told council that reductions to Route 226 will cause problems in the lowerincome area of the city. She said the time that would need to be taken by users to take the route would strongly take away from time better spent home with family. An Issaquah resident said cutting Route 927 would cripple public transportation within the city. A Bellevue resident,
who admitted to being among the 58 percent in King County Council District No. 6 who voted down Prop 1, said his vote doesn't mean he opposes public transportation. His concerns lie with metro operations. He said there is a problem with subarea equity that should be addressed in the same manner that Sound Transit operates, and that riders should pay their fair share while lower-income users should pay less. Several members with HopeLink, including CEO Lauren Thomas, told the
council they are concerned how transit cuts will affect its vulnerable clients' ability to remain in their homes. Not all of their clients qualify for travel through Medicaid, and asked the council to consider delaying its reductions until these issues are further addressed. Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci asked the county council to re-examine a letter it received from the City Council that included requesting Route 271 be preserved. Bellevue's Jane Hague on the King County Council said it would help

an agency providing service to youth in South King County. “Even losing one youth to the streets or a predator because timely help was unavailable when needed, is one too many.” In addition to Safe Place, all three agencies participate in Metro’s discounted fare program, buying discounted bus tickets each year to help homeless and at-risk youth get to school, work, shelter, housing, and other appointments safely and efficiently. Transit is an essential link to education and the support services that help homeless young people need to move beyond the streets and prepare for life. Speaking for the group, Pottmeyer hopes that the cities, county and rural communities of King County will continue to work together to avoid cuts to Metro bus service. “Maintaining bus service throughout the county is a good thing not only for commuters, but a critical lifeline for the youth we serve.” The King County Safe Place is made possible through funding provided by United Way of King County. Safe Place is part of a national network of more than 20,000 partnering businesses and community locations that display the yellow diamond Safe Place sign, a safety net for youth in crisis who have nowhere else to turn.
(425) 679-6436
Local leaders of agencies committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness are concerned that cuts to Metro routes not only will impair the ability of youth to access transportation, but also will impact a regional community safety net for youth in crisis, Safe Place. Safe Place in King County was launched in August 2011 in partnership with Metro Transit. Every Metro bus is a Safe Place site where youth ages 12-17 can ask for help. “The concept of Safe Place is simple,” said Terry Pottmeyer, CEO of Friends of Youth. “When a youth in trouble sees the Safe Place logo, they know they have found a place where they can ask for help and get it immediately. A trained staff member from one of our three agencies, Auburn Youth Resources, Friends of Youth or YouthCare, respond to every call and within 45 minutes one of our counselors will meet the young person, assess his or her needs, helping the youth get to shelter, return home or find an alternative safe placement that very same day.” Program supporters say that while Metro is one of many Safe Place sites, it is different
in its availability to youth during the evening and overnight hours when many other Safe Place sites, like local libraries, are closed. “Two and a half years after its launch, King County Safe Place is one of the busiest networks in the nation,” said Melinda Giovengo, executive director of YouthCare in Seattle. “This partnership has been a great way to reach out and help youth because of the unique way it connects and coordinates existing resources, like Metro buses, providing a 24 hour regional response to the issues facing our young people.” The proposed 16 percent reduction in bus service countywide, including elimination of routes serving suburban and rural areas and reductions in off-peak hours, would mean fewer opportunities to connect to safety for homeless and runaway youth. Data from the King County Safe Place network show that most youth who have accessed Safe Place through a Metro bus did so outside of peak hours (Metro defines peak as 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.). Only one pickup occurred during peak hours; most occurred between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. “We are concerned that with fewer buses on the roads, and reductions to Metro service to rural and suburban communities, youth in crisis will lose a critical piece of the existing safety net,” said Jim Blanchard, executive director of Auburn Youth Resources,

Jubilee REACH awarded for club work Microsoft to offer summer camps By Daniel Nash
Bellevue Reporter
The Washington Education Association on Monday honored Jubilee REACH for its work with students and families in Bellevue. The Community Partners award was given at Tillicum Middle School, where site activities coordinator Jonathan George received it on behalf of the organization in front of an audience of students in “Club Jubilee.” The club operates athletic and academic programs in seven middle schools and one elementary. The program began with a single soccer team at Highland Middle School. The award included a $500 endowment for the organization to continue operations. “It’s an honor,” said George, himself a 2006 Bellevue High graduate. “I have such a great team
working with me.” Tillicum Principal Dion Yahoudy said Club Jubilee has given middle school students an opportunity to compete in organized sports in a low pressure “no cuts” environment, and was responsible for the school’s first girls golf team. “It’s the difference between just putting cones on the ground and putting together actual sports teams,” Yahoudy said. “Organized games, teams, team T-shirts, everything. And when these kids go on to high school, they’ll be more confident trying out for the teams there, because they’ve had practice.” The club also offers academic clubs such as chess and robotics, as well as tutoring services. None of the services come at cost to the district, Yahoudy said. Bellevue Education Association President Michele Miller noted that REACH donated space for tense

Bellevue boys sprint to KingCo track title BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue left no doubt about its place atop 3A KingCo track and field, as well as its status as a legitimate contender to win a third straight team scoring state title, winning the conference track and field championships by nearly 100 points over second place Mount Si. The Wolverines once again dominated the sprints, relays and hurdles on the boys side, as senior Budda Baker took the 100 meter dash in 10.85 seconds, and won the 200 in 21.68. Sophomore Isaiah Gilchrist won the 400 in 50.91 for Bellevue, and was second in the 100 and 200 as well. Graham Wendle won the 800 and 1,600 for coach John Hill’s squad, and Sam Richmond took the 300 meter hurdles and was second in the 110 meter event. Sam and brother Max Richmond teamed with Baker and Gilchrist to win the 400 meter relay and the Wolverines were third in the 1,600 meter relay. Baker came back to win the 3A KingCo long jump title, just in front of Sam Richmond. Ryan Gilbert took the javelin throw for the Wolverines, which finished with 200.5 team points on the strength of

Bellevue girls walk off to earn district tourney spot
A win in that game meant a winner-to-state, loserout matchup in the fifth place game against either Eastside Catholic or Liberty, also May 22.
Newport chases 4A state berth
Newport was two wins from a state tournament spot at the Reporter’s deadline, after taking the long road through the 4A KingCo softball tournament. The Knights beat Bothell 6-5 in the opening round, as Sydney Tomlinson had three RBI and Kaitlin Sahlinger knocked in two more. Kat Wood worked a complete game in the circle for the Knights, striking out 10, sending her team to a winner-to-state semifinal against Woodinville. The Knights were unable to punch a state ticket in an 11-1 loss to the Falcons, but rebounded to beat Eastlake 11-7 in a loser-out game May 20. Wood struck out two in a complete game performance, with Tomlinson providing a big day at the plate with five RBI. Elle Stegman knocked in three more, as Newport pounded out 12 hits to get the win and keep its season alive. The Knights faced Skyline at Inglemoor in the third place, loser-out game May 22, with a spot in the district crossover game on the line. The third place finisher from KingCo will meet the third place team from 4A Wesco for the district’s final state tournament spot.

Marcum said the Bellevue and Interlake teams will share a practice course in preparation for state. “The hardest part is over,” she said. “They have practiced the whole year for this, and they have arrived.” Rachel Fujitani of Mercer Island shot 75 to win the individual title by one stroke of Sarah Rhee of Ingraham.

With its season on the line in the first round of the 3A KingCo softball tournament, Bellevue was down to its final hope with two outs in the seventh inning against Mercer Island. Thankfully for the Wolverines, that hope came in the form of Kristie Bennett. Bennett hit a three run walk-off home run to beat the Islanders 7-6 and keep her team’s postseason run alive, sending them to the Sea-King district tournament in the process. Bellevue came back to beat Seattle Prep in the first round at the district tournament May 21, before losing to Holy Names in a winner-to-state quarterfinal. The Wolverines met West Seattle after the Reporter’s deadline in another loser-out game.

Dam removal receives slick presentation BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
During the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival, the Bellevue Reporter will present its weekly picks of films playing at the Lincoln Square Cinemas and other venues.

Song, dance and fun in ‘Funny Girl’
BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
When “Funny Girl” was being cast for its first run, producer Ray Stark searched far and wide for an actress capable of playing the talented and unconventionally beautiful Fanny Brice. That actress would turn out to be Barbra Streisand, who delighted Stark with her performance chops and horrified his wife with her thrift shop couture, as recalled in a later interview given by composer Jule Styne. Sarah Rose Davis, the actress who plays Brice in Village Theatre’s production of Funny Girl, has to be exhaustively gawked up and geeked out by her costumers to match the woman described in “If A Girl Isn’t Pretty.” But by the time the show reaches “I’m the Greatest Star,” Davis proves beyond a shadow of a doubt why she’s there, bouncing from pushy to pleading to soulful to catty, bratty, soulful and back again. The first-time lead demonstrates a remarkable agility of performance and comic timing. Good, because “Funny Girl,” despite its large ensemble, is a show that lives and dies on its Brice. Even the primary plot points of the vaudevillian’s fictionalized biography are mere vehicles to truck the audience toward the next songand-dance spectacular. The supporting cast and ensemble back Davis wonderfully, filling the set pieces with the peculiar Brooklish honk that can never seem to be over exaggerated, and believably recreating the uniquely in-your-face intimacy of a New York circle of friends. The fleet-footed John David Scott is a standout as dance director Eddie Ryan, the puppyish friend and man-inwaiting to Brice. His tap dance routine early in the show is a sight to behold and will leave you wanting more, even if you’ve never thought about tap once in your life. The one dull spot on this practically Technicolor production arrives in the story’s driving romance between Brice and Nick Arnstein (Logan Benedict). It’s a shortcoming
DamNation | May 28 at Lincoln Square Cinemas. 92 min. Coming out of the Northwest, Ben Knight’s and Travis Rummel’s “DamNation” examines the history of dams in the United States and their impact on the ecosystems they interrupt. Though the documentary technically lives up to its promise to talk to both the proponents and opponents of dams, the filmmakers make it clear — through Knight’s narration, the selection of interview subjects and the soundtrack choices — they sympathize with the opposition. This film can also rightly be described as a “stunt documentary” for several impressive setpieces in which the filmmakers kayak into federally owned waters, follow activist Mikal Jakubal on an act of large-scale benevolent vandalism and discreetly film the blasting of the Glines Canyon Dam. In presenting the problems stemming from dams, the movie is filled with excellent information about the shortcomings and dangers of salmon released from mitigation hatcheries. Arguments on the beauty lost from dammed ecosystems are necessarily anecdotal and largely depend on post-production choices to drive their point home. But Knight and Rummel deserve accolades for presenting potentially dry subject matter in a way that is riveting, slick and supremely watchable.

Lucas Belvaux’s “Not My Type” might have reached screens as a typical “opposites attract” story. In the case of
this French production, the opposites are stoic philosophy professor Clement (Loïc Corbery) and bubbly hairdresser Jennifer (Émilie Dequenne). Clement is devastated to discover he is being transferred from his beloved Paris to a post in the northern city of Arras, but he quickly takes up with Jennifer and begins an involved relationship. All the typical tropes of standard romance stories are here — the meet-cute, the honeymoon period, the break-up and the make-up — but they’re subdued to a whisper. The movie constantly subverts our expectations of what will come next. And no sooner are expectations reset then they’re shattered completely. To understand this movie, you have to understand its thesis. There’s a scene where the primary characters reconcile over the phone, a scene SEE SIFF, 14

being so cold, so angry, so inadequate as a partner. But here -- because we already know what’s being said, from years of training by pop culture -- we’re treated only to the reactions on the other end of the line. Those reactions are what “Not My Type” is concerned with -- not what’s happening, but what’s happening out of sight. Even knowing this, the ending of the film is a baffler. But perhaps it’s only challenging the viewer to dig deeper, finding the buried clues that barely grazed top soil.
that’s hard to put into words. Tall, dark, handsome and mustachioed, Benedict is a dead ringer for a dashing 1920s gentleman. His deep, resonant voice is period perfect and reminiscent of classic radio drama. He never falters, wavers or stumbles in his performance. All the pieces are there, yet they come together imperfectly. Arnstein’s love affair with Brice seems to simply go through the motions of “and then, and then, and then” until the next song-and-dance number arrives. But what a song-anddance it will be! The journey’s all well and good but, in this show, it’s the destinations that matter. “Funny Girl” plays through July 6 in Issaquah at the Francis Gaudette Theatre, 303 Front Street North.

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.
