Medical Examiner seeking donor of skulls to Goodwill BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is searching for the donor of three human skulls to the Bellevue Goodwill, two of which are believed to have been used for medical purposes and the other identified as belonging to a Native American child. The skulls were donated in late June, but the identity of the donor is not known. Goodwill employees contacted the examiner’s office and law enforcement following the donation, which the agency states is proper procedure.

City Council considering third-party study to see if Energize Eastside plan necessary BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Washington Utilities Transportation Commission can't prevent Puget Sound Energy from running upgraded transmission lines more than 100 feet above neighborhoods from Renton to Redmond, but it can prevent the energy company from recovering costs if the project is deemed unnecessary or excessive. Bellevue councilmembers are considering a third-party study
to determine whether PSE's Energize Eastside – placing 18 miles of 230kV transmission lines from Renton to Redmond – is necessary after months of hearing strong opposition from the community. Members of the WUTC spoke to the council Monday about its involvement in energy projects in the state, saying it only weighs in on the need for a project once it is completed, determining whether a company can recover its costs through rate adjustments.

The foundation is poured, the walls are up and the tower cap freshly lifted in place at what, for now, is the future Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. However, when it opens, the new hospital may be a branch of Bellevue’s Overlake Hospital Medical Center. King County Public Hospital District No. 4, the rural district centered on Snoqualmie, is considering selling its hospital and clinics to Overlake. The district’s board of commissioners approved a letter of intent to negotiate a sale at their Thursday, July 3, regular meeting. District CEO Rodger McCollum said Wednesday that the sale is sought so that
Valley health care can compete and survive. With large Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, forming in Washington, made up of partnerships between some of the biggest hospitals — among them Overlake — smaller hospitals are challenged to stay independent, he said. These contracting units are “how health care is going to be rationed in the future,” McCollum said. “This is the driver, the rollup of health care into these large affiliations of providers to cut costs out of the system. What that means for us is that, in future, we’re either aligned or somehow connected to large networks of health care, or we run the risk of being orphaned out here.” The hospital’s critical access status, in which it gets reimbursed fully for Medicare costs, has been key to its financial model. “If that’s in place, and once we open the new hospital, we would do very well,” McCollum predicted.

The council was concerned about WUTC's review of PSE's 2013 Integrated Resource Plan, which Juliana Williams, regulatory analyst for conservation and energy planning, confirmed did not show an immediate need for additional resources, though it was not always clear how need tied in with an analysis of transmission lines. She added PSE has energy contracts set to expire over its planning horizon and must decide if it will extend those agreements or acquire more resources
to meet that level of demand. Councilmembers agreed Bellevue's 2011 electrical reliability plan should be updated to boost the city's knowledge about energy needs looking toward a 2015 IRP, but didn't feel it would answer questions critical to Energize Eastside. Mayor Claudia Balducci said another third-party study would be helpful to give Bellevue more guidance about its regulatory authority. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Two Bellevue pot shops receive licenses to sell
Council approves transit master plan by brandon macz bellevue reporter
City ordinance means only one will open on Main Street BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Washington State Liquor Control Board on Monday lifted a restraining order on a Main Street retail pot store, making it the second to be licensed in Bellevue. The concern among both operators now is how the city’s emergency ordinance, which bars the stores from coexisting, will be applied. Green Theory on Main Street was the first store issued a retail license in Bellevue. Operator Mike Griffith said it would be several weeks before he could open, adding he is working with the city to ensure his business will be allowed to operate. Griffith’s store is fewer than 1,000 feet from Greenside, which the WSLCB approved for licensure Monday afternoon. Under an amendment to the city’s emergency ordinance, recreational marijuana retailers may not open within 1,000 feet of a competitor. Greenside and Green Theory are located just across the street from each other. “We just have to see if the city will issue us a permit,” said David Ahl, the operator of Greenside. “We were finished first, but I don’t know if that will be a deciding factor in that.” BDA Live at Lunch Bellevue Reporter Ad The lift on the restraining order makes
Greenside the 25th retail store to be licensed by the Liquor Control Board to sell recreational marijuana, with more to follow. Bellevue is allowed four stores under WSLCB rules. City spokeswoman Emily Christensen said Green Theory was issued license first, and was not affected by such a restraining order. According to a letter submitted by the city to the 19 original applicants, the first business to obtain licensure when retailers are within 1,000 feet of each other will be considered the “first-in-time” applicant. Since Green Theory was licensed first, Christensen said it will most likely be allowed to remain on Main Street. This does not preclude Greenside from seeking licensure at another location, she said. While an opening date is not set, it has not prevented prospective customers and curious pedestrians from approaching the business. One man outside Green Theory told the Reporter he’d quit smoking marijuana years ago, but wanted to tryPMit for Week of 10 July 14.pdf 1 7/9/14 4:02 again now that it is legal.

Trusting in a promise from Kemper Development Company that its expanding downtown core will continue to offer free parking long into the future, the Bellevue City Council on Monday approved a transit master plan after two years in development. Members of the city’s transportation commission gave the council the green light to approve the transit plan on Monday. Vic Bishop cautioned one “red flag” is an operational study for “running projects” that assumes higher rates for parking downtown to project 60,000 daily riders in Bellevue by 2030.
Such projects include a high-occupancy vehicle lane on a portion of Bellevue Way near the South Bellevue Park and Ride. Bishop said if any running project is considered in the future, the city must ensure the ridership projections tied to it are correct. KDC Vice President Bruce Nurse said the study method should be corrected and not include higher parking rates, which falsely inflate ridership projections. CEO Kemper Freeman has been a longtime opponent of light rail in the city and advocate for infrastructure improvements for motorists. “Our company has stated publicly that we have a policy for not charging
for retail parking and our philosophy is if it were to be charged than we would lose a great deal of customers to and from,” said Nurse, adding the company does not believe people park at the Bellevue Collection and then access transit. After reassurances from staff that the city wouldn’t move forward with a running project without the most up-to-date ridership projections, the council approved the transit master plan unanimously. “If you can convince the Seattle Transit Blog you’ve done really good work on transit, you have,” said Councilmember John Chelminiak.
Fourth Street extension project to close intersection The intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and 116th Avenue Northeast will close over the weekend to replace pavement as part of the Fourth Street extension project. Northbound traffic on 116th will be closed off at Main Street, requiring motorists to access businesses between Main and Fourth streets using Main, according to the city. Southbound
116th traffic will be closed at Northeast Eighth, requiring motorists to use Eighth to access businesses between Fourth and Eighth. Drivers exiting from northbound I-405 at Northeast Fourth will be detoured onto westbound Fourth Street. The intersection will be closed 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, July 14. Detours will be marked.

State Route 520 again will be closed this weekend between Montlake Boulevard and Interstate 405 as crews pour concrete and place asphalt along the route. The concrete – up to 67 truckloads – will be used for the road deck of the new West Connection Bridge. The asphalt – up to 10,000 tons or more – will be used for new eastbound lanes of SR 520 east of the floating bridge. “We know these closures have been difficult for drivers and we want to thank them for their patience,” said SR 520 Program Director Julie Meredith. “The work done on these weekends is critical for construction on the Eastside. We also continue to forge ahead with work on the new floating bridge that will open to drivers in 2016 and replace a more than 50-year-old structure
that’s vulnerable to high winds and earthquakes.” The bridge and road closure will begin at 11 p.m. Friday and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, July 14. Also on Monday, the new 92nd Avenue Northeast median transit stop will open to riders, also at 5 a.m. The new ADAaccessible stop features elevators, a covered waiting area, and other amenities. The temporary transit shuttle between Evergreen Point Road and 92nd Avenue Northeast will be discontinued Monday when the new stop opens to riders. Crews also will open new direct-access ramps for buses at 108th Avenue Northeast to serve the South Kirkland Park and Ride. These will be open to buses only until the new HOV lanes open later this year.

forensic homicide cases.” Taylor said the dental development on the Native American skull puts the child at under 10 years old when they died, and is believed to be more than 100 years old. Forensic carbon dating was not necessary, so the exact age is unknown. The examiner’s office needs to repatriate the aged and fragile skull of the Native American child as required by state law, but requires more details to determine the tribe of origin. The other two skulls will be sent to the state Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation. Anyone with information about the three donated skulls should contact the King County Medical Examiner’s Office at 206731-3232, ext. 1.

identifiable as having been used for medical purposes because they were anatomically prepared, meaning they were bleached, polished and springs and other appliances were attached. Technological advances have led to the use of replicas in the medical field, but Taylor said people do still find bones that were used for those purposes, often among family belongings. “People do find them in their grandfather’s attic or in a closet or whatever, and they don’t know what to do with them,” she said, adding they should not keep them nor should they donate them. “… I’ve had several cases where people found bones and brought them home and they were actually
But “health care has changed,” he added. “If we’re orphaned out here, and we don’t get the referrals, and we don’t get people in the hospital, we wouldn’t survive for long. It’s too risky.” “What if we close again? That’s a fear that haunts all of us. How do we eliminate the possibility, and improve health for everyone?” McCollum added. “At the end of the day, we’re negotiating on behalf of our community.” In a statement, J. Michael Marsh, CEO of Overlake Medical Center, said both organizations are deeply focused on health care needs of the Eastside. “Our organization’s vision of providing exceptional quality and compassionate care to every life we touch is very much in line with Snoqualmie Valley Hospital,” Marsh stated. “We both share a strong focus on quality, innovation and collaborative care.” The district board approved the letter, with commissioners Joan Young, Dave Speikers, Dariel Norris and Ryan Roberts voting in favor over lengthy objections from commissioner Gene Pollard. Contracts will be explored this summer and fall. The deal will be signed, McCollum expects, in November, “to correspond with the opening of the new hospital under the Overlake banner.” Following the sale, McCollum expects a transition process of up to two years.

The district itself would not go away under the acquisition, “and can’t go away until we pay off our debt,” McCollum said. The future of the taxing district lies between two extremes of possibility. At one end, the district could use all its revenues to pay off its debt of about $40 million, and dissolve. Or, it could continue its mission, run its local clinics and find other ways to support wellness and prevention in the Snoqualmie Valley. “Our district, the commissioners, can still play a huge role in the health care world, going forward,” he said. They can use their tax authority to provide grants and support early intervention, for example. “That’s up to them to decide.” McCollum’s role as administrator ends after the sale. “I won’t be part of the deal. I will finish out my contract with the district.” The hospital district saw revenues of $25 million in 2012, the last year available, with a $403,000 profit. The district is in the midst of construction of a $38 million, 70,000-square-foot new hospital on Snoqualmie Ridge. The district committed to a new building in 2007, and later sold its old campus between Snoqualmie and North Bend to the Snoqualmie Tribe for $14 million. This summer, Valley residents will get their say on whether the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital should become part of Overlake Medical Center. Seth Truscott: 425-888-2311; editor@valleyrecord.com

Summer not so fun for kids who are hungry; things you can do to help
I
t’s summertime, and, as the song says, the livin’ is easy. But that’s not necessarily the case for needy school children on summer break. If children get free or reduced-cost meals during the school year, summer can be three months of an empty stomach. Parents, who don’t have enough money to provide their kids a healthy breakfast or lunch when school is in session, certainly can’t now. Also, summer is hardly the time most people’s thoughts turn to giving and helping. That won’t soothe a child with an empty stomach. But, fortunately, area food banks and social service agencies understand the problem and work hard in the summer to support needy families. You can help, too. Food Lifeline, for example, is providing snacks and meals to Bellevue kids from low-income families. The organization’s Kids Cafe program is operating at four Bellevue locations: Eastside Terrace, Spiritwood Manor, Hidden Village and The Club Teen Center. More information about Food Lifeline is at www.foodlifeline.org. Movies in the Park — that shows free films each week in Bellevue’s Downtown Park — designates a local agency to receive help from movie-goers. The beneficiary on July 22 is Jubilee REACH. Among the various things it needs for those it serves is kids snacks. On July 29, Bellevue LifeSpring is asking people to bring kids snacks, granola bars, crackers and Goldfish crackers. Hopelink operates its End Summer Hunger program, designed specifically for needy kids who no longer get food through the schools. Through August it is seeking to stock healthy breakfast and lunch-type foods at its five food banks. The organization especially could use fresh fruit and fruit juices, peanut butter, cereal, ramen and snacks. Check out www.hope-link.org for ways to help. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Initiatives
Eyman’s effort gets a ‘no’ Rarely can the lack of action trigger so much reaction as it did last week when Tim Eyman didn’t do something he so often does — turn in signatures for an initiative. Word that the professional initiative promoter from Mukilteo failed to qualify his latest antitax concoction for the November ballot ignited an outburst online from those in the Puget Sound’s political punditry. That’s because Jerry Cornfield it’s been a few years since Eyman came up empty in his attempt to legislate through the ballot box. His critics wistfully hope it is a sign of failures to come and an omen of his eventual exit from Washington’s main stage of politics. Without question, Eyman has lost his luster and his brand of self-centered politics dressed up as populism no longer gives voice to public angst and anger as it once did.
?
Question of the week:
“ Do you plan to visit one of the new pot stores now that they are opening?”
But one setback isn’t likely to neuter Eyman’s influence — real and perceived — on the electorate or the electeds. There are reasons for this year’s dud effort. He had a poorly conceived measure and he never rebuilt the bridge to business supporters he blew up last year. This year’s offering, officially known as Initiative 1325, required lawmakers to endorse a constitutional amendment requiring tax increases be approved by a two-thirds majority and then to put it on the ballot for voters to ratify. If they didn’t, the state sales tax would be slashed from 6.5 percent to 5.5 percent. That’s a pretty complicated sell for someone with a clipboard standing outside a supermarket trying to get signatures. And he didn’t have many of those because the usual flow of dollars to pay for them from wealthy individuals, small businesses or major corporations dried up. Eyman’s customary allies hadn’t forgiven him for 2013 when See cornfield, 5

A few thoughts to chew on

once remember a group of dads standing around talking about the various athletic abilities of their kids – all 11 year-olds like me. My dad bragged about how fast I could run — especially from yard work. Carl Lardner said his kid could throw a football through a tire swing from 20 yards away. He didn’t mention that it was a tractor tire 20 feet away. Max Flordendorkner claimed his kid could make 90 percent of his free throws. He also claimed Max Flordendorkner was his real name. Then it was Jim Arbogast’s turn. He was silent for a long time before finally and Pat Cashman proudly declaring, “My boy Tim can outeat any of your kids!” The group of men chuckled — but it was true. Tim was a legend in our school. He had the heart of a gladiator — and the stomach of a blue whale. In fact, Tim probably could have defeated any pod of them in a krill-eating contest. Remember when moms used to admonish their kids to “Slow down when you’re eating — and chew each bite 21 times before swallowing?” (The magic number varied) My mom was a stickler about the 21 times chew number, which made conversation impossible during dinner for fear of losing count. She even thought pudding should be chewed 21 times. That, of course, is absurd. Fourteen times is plenty for pudding. Seventeen for soup. But today, competitive — or speed — eating contests are everywhere — where the goal is to shovel quickly and efficiently, unlike Big Bertha. One of the biggest contests was held just last week on Co-
ney Island: Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. (Not to be confused with Mercer Island’s Famous Fourth of July Brie Eating Contest.) Nothing truly celebrates American independence like tossing 61 wieners down the hatch in 10 minutes — which is just what Joey Chestnut did to win the Coney Island match. (Chestnut is the Babe Ruth of eating.) Our country didn’t win the World Cup in soccer this year, but we’re still the best on the globe when it comes to unbridled mastication. (Joey Chestnut is also the Pelé of eating.) There is probably not a food that doesn’t come with a contest these days. There are burger-eating competitions, pies, melons, pancakes, crab cakes, chocolate cakes, asparaguses, chicken wings, ribs, okra, lobster, baked beans, eggs and oysters. There’s even a vegan hot dog contest — a chance for more health-conscious folks to eat 61 of them in 10 minutes. So far, there is no fruitcake-eating contest due to lack of interest. There is a Slugburger eating contest in Corinth, Miss., each year — actually a burger made from pork and beef, and not actual slugs. Disappointing, eh? Experts say if you ever do find yourself in a contest featuring bonafide garden slugs, the key to winning is to use lots of salt. Like any great athletic endeavor, the path to victory in an eating competition is training. It is said that the great, retired eating champ, Ed “Cookie” Jarvis, trained — not by eating cookies — but by consuming entire heads of boiled cabbage. The cabbage extended Jarvis’s stomach, if not his popularity, since it also created more gas than Exxon Mobil. Jarvis generally trained alone.

they believe he used some of their donations to push a measure they opposed. Without that financial aid to hire professional petitioners, Eyman and his reputed “thousands of supporters” were on their own to get it done. And they didn’t. “We worked really hard, but our signature drive for the 2/3-For-Taxes Constitutional Amendment fell short this year,” Eyman wrote in an email to supporters, without acknowledging how many signatures were gathered. “We’ll just have to work even harder next time.” What “next time” looks like may determine whether Eyman effectuates a rebound to relevancy. If he wants to maintain a statewide profile, he’ll need to make amends with his old allies. Without their wallets and their wisdom, Eyman’s ability to continue earning regular paydays will be put at risk. Or Eyman could change course and focus on pushing ballot measures on the local level. He’s had success in fighting red-light cameras. There is no end to levies and taxes he could consider challenging on behalf of a citizenry which feels overtaxed. That requires Eyman to rethink his methods, and his motives. Pushing initiatives in cities around the state isn’t easier, and pays a whole lot less than what he’s been doing most of the past 15 years. If his “thousands of supporters throughout the state” are truly behind him, this may be their only way to ensure there isn’t another November without an Eyman measure on a ballot somewhere.

Target Corporation has confirmed it is scrapping plans to construct a new store at the corner of Northeast Fourth Street and 116th Avenue Northeast. The decision comes after months of litigation with the city in order to expedite construction and amend the city’s land use code. The Reporter first reported Target’s potential plan for deferment of the project in late June. Target Corporation stated then it had no information to share about a store in Bellevue, though a Target representative had just sat before City Council on June 23 and said how excited the company was to begin constructing the 137,000-square-foot, threestory structure. Target Corp. confirmed its plan to stop the project in the Wilburton subarea of the city on July 3 in a statement: “Bellevue is a great community for Target, and we enjoy serving guests at our Factoria store. After careful consideration, we have determined that, at this time, other opportunities within the community are not the right fit for Target.” Clearing the way for the new Target store had been part of a settlement agreement approved by council in May to continue the city’s Fourth Street extension project from 116th to 120th Avenue Northeast, by cutting through a portion of Best Buy and Home Depot’s shared parking lot. The settlement with property owner KG Investment Management included allowing future tenant Target to construct a building larger than allowed under current land use code and enter into a development agreement with the city for design guidelines. Bellevue’s comprehensive plan had called for zoning this area for commercial business and allowing individual development agreements following completion of the See target, 7

He said Costco has long been interested in a Bellevue location. “I think this makes for great potential,” Wallace said. “Target doesn’t want to go to downtown Bellevue, maybe Costco will.” While the city has no control in who will show an interest in the property in the future, Wallace said there was a benefit to its settlement agreement for the Fourth Street extension in the form of $7 million in grant funding that was on hold pending a resolution.

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said the Fourth Street extension was the linchpin for further growth in the Wilburton subarea, and Target’s exodus won’t change those plans. “I don’t know the reasons behind it, but it is what it is,” he said of Target pulling out of the project. “Obviously we’re disappointed. We spent a lot of time coming up with a good solution to accommodate Target moving here.” Wallace said there is still a 160,000-square-foot lot available in a great location, and what Target no longer wants could be to

‘Gaman’ reveals the hidden art of internment By Daniel Nash
Bellevue Reporter
Slightly longer than two months after the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 to authorize the internment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese heritage on the United States’ West Coast. The people marked for internment — more than two-thirds of whom were American citizens — were rapidly relocated to stopgap assembly centers built on horse tracks and fairgrounds before moving on to the various camps stretching from

The book was the product of half a decade of research inspired by the discovery of a single wooden bird pin, carved in camp, in a box left behind by her late mother. Much of the work featured had similarly been kept out of the cultural zeitgeist, instead set aside in closets and attics as hidden reminders of painful past events — the Japanese word “gaman” translates to “enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity.” After publication, many more families contacted the author with their own family heirlooms.

Review: ‘Begin Again’ too contrived for its story By Brian Miller Seattle Weekly
What songwriter hasn’t thought of moving to New York in the hopes of being discovered? What aspiring musician hasn’t at least fantasized about what it would be like to date Adam Levine and be friends with CeeLo? As with his 2007 hit “Once,” writer/director John Carney again presents such an optimistic story, with all its dreamers, los-
ers and opportunists, this time framed in Manhattan instead of Dublin. Yet unlike that movie, “Begin Again’s” bohemia is too contrived, its songbook too forced, its cast too bright and shiny. Keira Knightley is Greta, faithful girlfriend to upand-coming rocker Dave Kohl (Adam Levine) and an aspiring singer/songwriter (with some resemblance to Aimee Mann). After Kohl scores a record deal, the pair moves to Manhattan, where
he’s quickly seduced by the industry’s trappings. Greta’s fellow busker Steve (James Corden) whisks her out to an open-mike in the Village, where she’s discovered by down-on-his luck record exec Dan (Mark Ruffalo).

The organized captivity of these prisoners of wartime xenophobia would, over time, become the country’s shame and a black mark on the era of the Greatest Generation. But their circumstances would also become a petri dish for a unique, contained and mostly unknown movement in American art, according to Delphine Hirasuna.

Bellevue grad getting back on track with new invention Kate Cox had seen that walk before. In fact, she had done it. A competitor in track and field during her days at Bellevue High School, and later at Western Washington University, Cox was all too familiar with the sight of an athlete awkwardly maneuvering about on his or her heels to avoid grinding down their spikes once leaving the track surface to go to the bathroom or grandstand. Kate Cox “I was doing this heelshuffle,” she said. “There usually isn’t time to change or put on my running shoes, and I wished there was something I could put on over my spikes.” The need for a product that fit over track spikes to protect them on pavement or metal surfaces was obvious to Cox. But when she started exploring for a solution to
her problem, she found few roads to travel. “At the time, there was nothing on the market,” she said. “I wondered if I could actually develop something.” Cox graduated from Western and moved to San Diego, where she began developing prototypes with discarded flip-flops from a nearby footwear company, and a host of other materials. The top layer of a car floor mat, elastic, foam, and the rubber-soled flip-flop eventually provided the foundation for a spike cover. In the late 2000s, Cox began the painstaking process of acquiring a patent. By then, a product with a similar aim was available for purchase, which Cox found had little traction in the track and field community. “It looked cool, but it didn’t have the right design,” she said. “No one I had talked to had ever heard of it. But they still needed something.” The patent came through in 2011, and Cox partnered with a company in West Seattle to advance the design and manufac-

it right.” Social media has provided another outlet for her grassroots marketing, which also included setting up a display at high school track meets and pounding the pavement at retailers in the area. A post on the photo sharing network Instagram led to Spikease gaining interest from unlikely channels, which led to more online buzz when one of the members of Jamaica’s world record holding 800 meter relay team saw the product. “I would just walk into running stores and show it to them,” she said. “I just wanted to get it out there and show as many people as possible.” Cox’s efforts paid off when she landed in Super Jock ‘N Jill in Seattle’s Greenlake neighborhood, as well as national running and walking chain Road Runner Sports, which has a location in Bellevue. The process has taken years, and consumed most of the free time left after taking care of her child (Cox is now pregnant with her second child), holding down a full-time job and coaching track and field at Seattle Prep. But helping runners move forward, and not just on their heels, has made it worthwhile. “The best thing is being at a track meet and seeing a kid use the product to go get a baton they forgot in their bag,” she said. “That is really thrilling.”

A team of five seventh-graders at the Open Window school in Bellevue has been named among the top middle school mobile phone app developers in the nation. Their efforts earned the independent school for gifted children a $20,000 technology grant. HikeAbout is an app detailing trails, flora and fauna in the Eastside and Snoqualmie regions. It was one of eight entries into the Verizon Innovative App Challenge to be recognized at the Technology Student Association conference in Washington, D.C., held the weekend of June 27. The team’s victory began with a group project in Adrienne Gifford’s technology class. Gifford tasked her students with planning and prototyping an app that could solve a problem in the local community. The HikeAbout team began to consider the environment and the Eastside’s great outdoors. “We kind of bounced ideas off each other,” student Alex Hobbs said. “I had the idea of including information about wildlife for hunters … and as we talked about it more as a group, that branched off into creating new ideas.” The discussion turned to hiking safety and the group’s final paper prototype was an app that would allow hikers to know the areas they traveled and send out an emergency signal in case of danger. Gifford encouraged her class to consider entering their projects into the Innovative App contest. The HikeAbout team took her up on the
were poised to be announced by video chat, the team huddled around a computer monitor in rapt attention. They sat through one, two, three, four names, almost losing hope after the fifth, sixth and seventh until they heard it: HikeAbout was announced at the end of the list. “We jumped up and we started screaming ‘We won, we won,’” Hobbs said. “Our school had known we had actually won and they made a banner for us. (The news) got around really quickly with other students. They all came in after the announcement, screaming and congratulating us. It felt like we were on top of the world.” In addition to the technology grant and tablet computers for each teammate, HikeAbout was given the opportunity to work with assistant professor Yu-Chang Hsu of Boise State University to turn their prototype into a working product. Hsu showed the children how to use the MIT App Inventor to program their features. Hobbs and Jones said their experience had encouraged them to think about a career in technology. “I enjoyed coming up with the ideas for apps,” Hobbs said. “I think that’s what I really enjoyed in the project.” “Totally,” Jones said. “My dad works in technology, so I always knew about it, but actually coming up with an idea and then making it happen was an awesome experience.” HikeAbout is available for Android in the Google Play store.

Domestic Violence Affects Us All
Dogs have their day on Four on the 4th Dog Jog & Walk
A
t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things.
That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year. If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233. Trudi Inslee First Lady of Washington State

the like to supplement the given cotand-stove living accommodations. A number of carvings contained maps of the camps. Some paintings produced in the camps, like the work of Chiura Obata, served as a form of journalism, documenting everyday life in the temporary assembly centers. Obata was an anomaly among artists in the camps: a successful working illustrator in the outside world. Many of the most talented and prolific art-

Hirasuna developed the book into an exhibit, which began touring in 2010 and opened at the Bellevue Arts Museum July 3. Art served multiple purposes in the camps beyond aesthetic pleasure. The bulk of the first handicrafts were furniture — stools, chairs, tables and
ists in the camp would set their craft aside once they were released, searching instead for work in order to once again make a life in America. “By and large, when people got out of camp they never made art again,” Hirasuna said. “The Art of Gaman” will run through Oct. 12.

After some late-night beerfueled banter, Dan and Greta team up to make a record. Rebuffed by Dan’s partner Saul (Mos Def), the pair resolves to go the DIY route – with financial assistance from a former client (CeeLo Green). Obviously we expect these two to connect, just as in “Once.” Begin Again feels more like something purchased in a SoHo boutique. Greta’s supposed thrift-store chic simply reads as Knightley being expensively styled as Annie Hall. The film becomes too much the glossy, magazinecover fantasy: Where in the known world would you find CeeLo, Levine, and Mos Def – who comes around in the end – all banking on one unproven songwriter’s raw talent? While Carney is again peddling the notion that a musician with a dream can get discovered, the reality of “making it” in the music biz has everything to do with hard work – not simple luck, as is the case here.

Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.

Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it.
More than 1,000 dogs and their people walked in downtown Bellevue today as part of the city's Fourth of July celebration. The 2nd Annual Acura of Bellevue Four of the 4th Dog Jog & Walk took place at Ashwood Park and nearby streets. Many of the dogs sported patriotic costumes as part of the event. BELLEVUE REPORTER
1079273
Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.
