A group of men arrived at the old Interna-tional Paper building early last Thursday night, all of their belongings either strapped to their backs or by their feet. As they waited for warm food and shelter, they shared stories about their day, mutual acquaintances and where they’ll go when the Eastside Winter Shelter closes at the end of April.

“It gives us warm meals and a place to stay,” said Brian Jones, who bikes to the winter shelter from Redmond. He’s been in and out of the Congregation for the Homelessness’ shelter program for about seven years.

The city began operating a severe weather shelter in 2007 — after a homeless man died from exposure Christmas night — later expand-ing the program to all winter.

USPS looking for new main officeBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The U.S. Postal Service is searching for a new location for its main office in Bellevue, the current downtown site no longer affordable and providing fewer services than it once did.

USPS spokesman Ernie Swanson said the main office currently only serves as a retail store, letter carriers having moved into the Car-rier Annex in Factoria several years ago. USPS had been locked into an “attractive” long-term lease for the main office downtown, Swanson said, but the postal service decided to move when the new cost was determined too high, Swanson said.

“It goes way back to when Bellevue was way smaller than it is now,” he said of the original lease terms. “We just aren’t going to be able to stay there at the price it’s at now.”

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci sought opinions from city councilmembers Monday about how to respond to a letter from the postal service expressing its interest in a property on Northeast Bel-Red Road. The letter — dated Feb. 24 — states no action will be taken for at least 30 days (March 27).

Bellevue Postmaster Zachary Carter said he’s assessed about a dozen different properties and likes the Bel-Red property best because it’s a good size for the postal service.

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Puget Sound Energy expects to begin building a new transmission line between the Lake Hills and Phantom Lake substations by late summer, adding redundancy to the system that already exists in other parts of Bellevue.

“That last storm we had that knocked out power to quite a bit of Bellevue; The people in that neighbor-hood would not have lost power for that short dura-tion if we’d had that line in,” said project manager Bob Parker.

PSE began planning the addition of a second trans-mission line connecting the two substations in 2006, wanting to ensure residents wouldn’t lose power when a line to either substation went down, Parker said.

Working with the city of Bellevue, area businesses and residents, PSE came up with a 2.89-mile route for the new 115-kilovolt electri-cal transmission line along Southeast 16th Street, 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street.

The Bellevue City Coun-cil is set to vote whether to approve moving forward with the project on April 20 based on recommendations from a hearing exam-iner for a conditional use permit and shoreline CUP. If passed, it would come before the East Bellevue

Community Council, which would have 60 days to take action.

Parker said August is the earliest PSE expects to be able to begin construction, with a 6-8 month comple-tion schedule for both the new line and substation up-grades. Power will be routed to affected customers from other substations when the one in Lake Hills is de-energized for upgrades. No outages are expected, Parker said.

PSE’s other transmis-sion line project — Ener-gize Eastside — proposes 18 miles of 230-kilovolt transmission lines from Redmond to Renton, but the energy company doesn’t anticipate that type of capacity ever being needed between the Lake Hills and Phantom Lake substations, said Andy Swayne, munici-pal liaison manager.

“The existing substation and the transmission lines that feed them are all 115 (kilovolts), so there wouldn’t be any benefit to develop-ing 230 kilovolts,” Swayne said. “We generally don’t use it for serving local areas, that is local neighborhood substations.”

A small portion of the project on Southeast 16th will be completed last, said

Parker, to allow the city to complete its own construc-tion there, adding side-walks, a new median and bike lanes.

The city is requiring PSE pay about $857,000 to mitigate the loss of 295 trees along the transmission line route, and the energy company continues working with the city on a plan for landscaping and tree re-placement along Northeast Eighth and 148th.

“Our concern about the trees is just the height,” Parker said. “We don’t want the trees growing back up into these lines.”

PSE has made some alterations to its plans to accommodate residents and businesses, such as moving one of the 39 power poles to be erected to the corner by a resident’s property, said Parker, adding the company is aware not all of the 5,900 Lake Hills residents approve of the project.

“Not everybody’s going to be satisfied, we get it,” he said, “but we’ve been trying to work with the residents and the businesses where we’re going to be and ac-quiring the easements that we need.”

Construction of a new bike lane and median on 108th Avenue Northeast will began north of Main Street on Monday. The 30-foot-long lane will be painted bright green to improve visibility and positions southbound bicyclists to the left of mo-torists turning right from 108th. A median extension

and landscaping will be included to enhance the south gateway to down-town Bellevue.

Construction will require closing 108th be-tween Northeast Second and Main streets from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mon-day-Friday until con-struction is completed sometime in April.

The closure is expected to speed up the construc-tion timeline.

Construction of the new State Route 520 floating bridge has suffered several setbacks over the past two weeks, the latest occur-ring Tuesday night, when a pylon collided with a Metro bus and then knocked down a transportation sign.

Several riders were transported to Har-borview Medical Center shortly after the collision, with all but one being treated and released that night.

“Obviously we’re very thankful that there were no fatalities here and that the injuries appeared very minor,” said Ian Sterling, a spokesman for the Washing-ton State Department of Transportation. “There’s multiple investigations now into what happened.”

Sterling said one lane on the current SR 520 bridge had been closed to park a flatbed truck carrying pylons. A crane on a temporary work platform was moving the pylons from the bridge at the time of the accident, one pylon being lifted moving

into an active lane on SR 520 and colliding with a King County Metro bus, he said. The pylon then struck a traffic sign over the bridge, causing it to fall.

Washington Labor and Industries is leading an investigation into whether the crane malfunctioned, there was operator error or something else that caused the crane to move the pylon in the wrong di-rection. WSDOT contractor Flatiron West, which was in charge of moving the pylons, is also conducting its own investigation.

WSDOT Secretary Lynn Peterson an-nounced Wednesday she had ordered all project offices statewide to participate in safety stand-downs to review safety protocols and procedures for both state transportation workers and contractors.

Construction worker diesA construction worker died March 12,

after falling more than 60 feet from the SR 520 bridge project site. The fall was the second to occur in the past six months, another contract worker falling 15-20 feet into a hollow concrete flotation support in October. He sustained non-life threatening injuries.

A transportation sign was knocked onto the State Route 520 bridge Tuesday night by a pylon being moved by a crane, which also collided with a Metro bus causing several injuries.

State Labor and Industries, contractor investigating

For example, they are planning to spend $2 bil-lion on the Puget Sound Gateway Project which plans to connect existing SR 509, and SR 167 to I-5. � is project won’t bene� t trade or tra� c enough to justify its price tag, and it also contains plans for more tolling.

Meanwhile, we have 382 structurally de� cient bridges in Washington State, and many of our roads are in poor shape. � e state should spend our tax dollars more wisely rather than tolling us further.

Cecile Gernez, WASHPIRG

Legislating for tax waste and more pollution

Lately I’ve heard too much about the “need” for Washington to pass a

“transportation package.” If any detail is provided, and o� en it is not, it is only about expanding roads, but not how we pay for them.

We should be hear-ing about the drawbacks, and the reality that these projects will just increase sprawl as more people move to the areas con-nected by the new roads. By the time the roads are done, paradoxically, none of us will ever spend any less time sitting in our cars.

Every morning I walk my daughter to elementary school in Bellevue. In just 4/10’s of a mile, we may pass a hundred cars and I can smell the exhaust from them all. � en I breathe more vehicle fumes just walking from the bus stop to my o� ce in Seattle.

Instead of talking about cleaning up the air, we are talking about expanding roads. We need to do bet-ter, and we can.

� e current state legisla-tive transportation pro-posal is wasteful and unfair. It raises the gas tax, and because that won’t cover the costs of a pet project for every district, it dips into taxpayer money that was supposed to be budgeted for other things.

� e most egregious is diverting funds that voters mandated would go to toxic and environmental clean-up under the Model Toxics Control Act.

� ey also plan to dip into sales tax revenue from the state’s general fund. And maintenance? Even though we sorely need more of it, the proposed budget covers very little while creating more future maintenance needs.

Our taxes have already paid for studies which show clearly that when you build more roads, tra� c ac-tually gets worse. But our state government refuses to

learn these lessons and we are turning our beautiful forested Paci� c Northwest into the next L.A.

We really only have a tra� c problem at rush hour. So, we should stop building new roads and instead create more express bus routes, priority tra� c signals for buses, and work on serious transit plans.

If we create a good and fast transit option, enough people will use it that the rest of us will have room to drive our cars, and we can all stop wasting money on expensive roads that won’t help us.

Kristen Bryant, Bellevue

Is Bellevue still a ‘city in a park?’

According to a recent article, (Bellevue Reporter, March 13) PSE will pay the City of Bellevue almost a million dollars to compen-sate for the loss of 295 trees along 148th Ave S.E ,and N.E. 8th Street. Tall power poles will intrude on these beautiful tree-lined streets.

If the project is really necessary to keep our lights on, it should be installed underground.

What will Bellevue look

like if we lose 300 trees here, 8000 trees there (for Energize Eastside) and blindly continue down that path?

Is this why Bellevue is giving up its “City in a Park” tag line? Perhaps it should be: “Bellevue, a Playground for PSE.”

Don Marsh Bellevue

Wasteful spending on transportation

According to Monday’s Seattle Times article “State’s plan for I-405: 3-person carpools, peak HOT-lane tolls of $10” by Lynn � omson, a new proposal would cost commuters on

the I-405 up to $10 during peak congestion.

� e reason for these fees is that our Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is broke.

According to their web-site, WSDOT was spending 56 percent of its fuel tax revenue on debt service, and that percentage is pro-jected to increase.

WSDOT is broke because they are not spending tax dollars wisely. Rather than funding much needed repair, maintenance and de-sign improvements of our roads, WSDOT is spending billions of dollars on un-necessary freeway projects, which place them further into debt.

The Washington State Medical As-sociation is extremely disappoint-ed that state legislators

have failed to pass legislation re-moving the personal/philosophi-cal vaccine exemption (House Bill 2009). Given Washington state’s nationally low vaccina-tion rates, this bill was our best opportunity for elected o� cials to rise above politics on this seri-ous public health issue—all but guaranteeing that many of our state’s children will remain at risk for outbreaks of preventable diseases such as measles and whooping cough.

Data from 2013-14 show our state’s vac-cination rate for kindergarten-age children

still remains below the 90 per-cent federal baseline for prevent-ing outbreaks. Nearly 9 out of 10 children with non-medical exemptions claimed personal/philosophical reasons. Low vac-cination rates not only places the child without the vaccination at risk but also endangers children who cannot get vaccinations due to medical reasons or those who

are too young to get vaccinations.� e WSMA applauded state lawmakers

in 2011 a� er passing a bill requiring those

seeking exemptions for their children to consult a licensed physician.

By failing to pass this legislation, law-makers have missed an opportunity to take the next step to bring our state’s vaccina-tions in line with national target vaccina-tion rates and protect our children.

WSMA members overwhelmingly supported the elimination of personal and philosophical vaccine exemptions for school, child care and preschool immuniza-tion requirements at the association’s 2014 annual meeting. � is bill had the support of the WSMA, Gov. Inslee, the state De-partment of Health and other public health agencies and experts.

As the state medical association, our mis-sion is centered on making Washington the best place to practice medicine and receive care. � e WSMA will continue to encour-age patients to get their recommended vaccinations and will look to next year’s session to push this issue forward on behalf of our patients and our state’s communities.

assistants, residents and medical students throughout Washington. He is an internist

future. CFH is the subles-see. Bellevue and the city of Redmond share the monthly utilities cost for the shelter, which averages $5,000 for water, gas and electric.

The shelter opened on Nov. 18 this year and was slated to close at the end of March. The United Way provided funding to help keep the shelter open through April, said David Johns Bowling, CFH deputy executive director.

There have been about 400 guests at the shelter this year, some managing to find other shelter and hous-ing programs.

“There’s still a majority of people who will need shel-ter when it closes down,” Bowling said.

That’s when CFH and A Regional Coalition for Housing will step up efforts to find a permanent build-ing to serve as a year-round shelter for homeless men.

“Where it would go and exactly how it’s designed and everything like that would start happening in

the next several months,” said Arthur Sullivan, ARCH program manager.

“The ‘Not in my back-yard,’ definitely you hear that all the time,” Bowl-ing said, adding CFH will launch a capital campaign later this year. “Siting is go-ing to be a very crucial step for us.”

CFH does operate a year-round shelter pro-gram through a rotation of Eastside churches providing overnight stays for homeless Eastside men.

“They’re pretty much always at capacity, as far as I can tell,” said Jermaine Berkley, who stayed at the winter shelter last year and was later able to move into the year-round program, get a job and find a place of his own.

Berkley said he recently lost his job as a cook and had to come back to the shelter. He’s also in his third quarter at Bellevue Col-lege where, through several grants, he’s studying web development.

“It’s not about the build-ing,” Berkley said, when asked what he thought of

CFH’s goal of buying its own shelter facility. “It’s about what’s inside the building.”

A year-round shelter would offer a place to clean and change his clothes, gain job and housing training, receive medical and dental services, take a shower and net one-on-one case man-agement, Berkley said.

— Congregations for the Homeless will hold its sixth annual “The Face of Homelessness” luncheon 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 30 at Bellevue Presbyterian Church, 1717 Bellevue Way N.E. It’s a no-cost luncheon, but CFH hopes to raise $125,000 for funding its programs. Rex Hohlbein, executive director of Facing Homelessness in Seattle, is the keynote speaker.

The Bellevue Conven-tion Center Authority expects to award bids next week for the Meydenbauer Center’s $12.5-million renovation, closing the venue through the sum-mer for construction.

“For the first time in 20 years, the Meydenbauer Center will be closed,” said BCCA Chairman Rick Carlson to the city council on Monday.

Carlson said the BCCA board expects to award bids at their March 24 meeting, which includes interior, exterior and technology upgrades. He added the exterior color of the Meydenbauer Center will be changed to better match with the Bravern buildings

clustered around it.Executive Director Stacy

Graven began reviewing the bids on Tuesday, said Sharon Linton, market-ing and communications manager for Visit Bellevue, adding a complete design won’t be known until next week.

“We don’t have a design until we know what we can afford,” she said. “We have a lot of great sketches, right now, but some of them might have to come off the table.”

Construction is ex-pected to start June 15 and take 88 days to complete, the center already booked for an event the day after. Linton said a summer con-struction schedule works because hotels are busiest while the center sees less usage.

“People don’t always want to get together and go to meetings in the sum-mer,” she said. “It’s the best time to do it, but it’s still hard to have it offline for 88 days.”

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

The first female Secretary of State was well known for her political displays through jewelry, many of which are on display now through June 7 at the Bellevue Arts Museum.

It all started in 1994 when Madeleine Albright, serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, criticized Saddam Hussein and the government-controlled Iraqi paper responded by calling her “an unparalleled serpent.”

Albright said she took the op-portunity to make a “diplomatic statement” by wearing a snake pin, despite her distaste for the slithering creatures.

Her message was clear, resonat-ing back to the American Revolu-tion, “Don’t Tread on Me!” From that day forward, Albright said pins became a major part of her diplomatic signature.

Years later, Russian President Vladimir Putin confided to then-president Bill Clinton that his country’s diplomats routinely checked to see which brooch

Albright was wearing. On day one of nuclear arms discussions, Igor Ivanov, Russia’s foreign minister, looked at the arrow-like pin sit-ting atop Albright’s jacket.

“Is that one of your intercep-tor missiles?” he asked her. She replied, “Yes, and as you can see, we know how to make them very small. So you’d better be ready to negotiate.”

With that same magnetism, Albright walked through the new exhibit sharing the stories of some of her favorite pins.

Pointing to a large red, white and blue brooch, Albright said she chose to wear it while meeting with North Korea’s then-leader Kim Jong-il during a negotiation trip.

“I was told he was crazy and

a pervert,” she said. “He wasn’t crazy.”

Her diplomatic diffusion gave her the ability to succeed where others couldn’t and, through her political fashion, garnered the re-spect of nearly everyone she met.

Stefano Catalani, art director for the Bellevue Arts Museum, said the exhibit represents so much more than pins.

“It speaks to the power of jewelry, not just the political state-ments, but a powerful tool for communication,” he said of the collection.

On Thursday, Albright met with dozens of students from Bellevue’s six high schools to dis-cuss the significance of her pins, something she’s done at each of the exhibit stops.

Chick-fil-A opening with a camp out

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

The first Chick-fil-A in Washington will open April 9 in Bellevue, but those wanting a first taste of the ac-tion should consider bringing a sleeping bag.

A long-standing tradition for new Chick-fil-A restaurants, the First 100 giveaway offers a free meal each week for 52 weeks to 100 participants selected to camp out 24 hours prior to a location’s opening. The Chick-fil-A on 116th Avenue Northeast will host its First 100 on April 8, with customers camping out in the parking lot.

“I’ll be out there cheering them on, too, and chat-ting with our guests,” said Valerie Artis, Bellevue Chick-fil-A owner.

Artis applied for the chance to own a Chick-fil-A franchise back in 2013, she said, after 17 years as a marketing professional. A year later an import car shop and Denny’s restaurant were razed to make way for the state’s first Chick-fil-A.

“I won’t say it felt good,” said Artis of Denny’s clo-sure on 116th, having provided marketing for IHOP prior to her franchise ownership, “but I did see the irony in it.”

She said she had once considered Chick-fil-A a secondary competitor to IHOP, and several years ago tried out one of the restaurants in Atlanta. While she enjoyed the food and service, Artis said her desire to own her own chain wasn’t immediate.

“I always said, ‘No, it’s not for me,’ and then the light

bulb went off for me,” she said. “The timing was really right.” It also served as a lesson for Artis’ 18-year-old son, who was looking at colleges around the time she applied for franchise ownership. “He’s college bound. We’re Chick-fil-A bound.”

Construction is nearly wrapped up at the restaurant, and Artis has spent much of March hiring employees who will be receiving full-scale training at the end of the month. Corporate

trainers will also be on hand for Chick-fil-A’s opening.The Bellevue Chick-fil-A opening will be followed

by restaurants in Lynnwood and Tacoma, as the chain eyes other Washington markets. Artis said the brand focuses on community, which is what she wants to do in Bellevue, rather than focus on operating additional units in the state.

“For me, it’s not Valerie’s Chick-fil-A; it’s Bellevue’s Chick-fil-A.”

STAFF REPORTBELLEVUE REPORTER

The city of Bellevue has Sellen Construction investigating what caused a sinkhole on the 10500 block of Northeast Fourth Street Sunday, near where the contractor has been performing construction.

Bellevue Transportation spokeswoman Tresa Berg stated in an email the city did not know what caused the 4-foot-deep sinkhole and could not provide an answer by press time, but is considering Sunday’s heavy rainfall a potential factor.

A supervisor for Sellen Construction said he believed he knew what caused the sinkhole, which opened up around 11 a.m. Sun-day, but declined to comment further because he was not permit-ted to speak to media. Neither Sellen Construction CEO Bob McCleskey nor president Scott Redman returned calls for com-ment by press time.

Colleges partner to expand autism program

This spring Bellevue Col-lege and Central Washing-ton University are partner-ing to expand services and educational opportunities for autistic students at the Ellensburg campus.

 Four years ago, Bellevue College faculty created Au-tism Spectrum Navigators as a way to support autistic students in accessing col-lege programs, services and improve communication with instructors.

Since 2011, students in the program at Bellevue College have been able to attend support meetings each week with trained peer mentors to help with group classes and discus-sions, their parents have been able to receive training and they’ve been able to fin assistance with community engagement and education.

Sara Gardner, ASN

program director and instructor, said the pro-gram has helped dozens of students achieve their academic goals at Bellevue College and now the she and other members are helping Central Washing-ton implement the same program protocols to create a similar network for dormitory living and other situations that may not exist at BC’s commuter-college setting.

“As a greater number of autistic students enter higher education each year, it’s imperative that institu-tions are prepared with programs that work and do not place undue financial burdens on students and families,” Gardner said.

With more than 200 autistic students enrolled in Bellevue College and the history of success in provid-ing support through ASN, she said it’s the college’s duty to share their infor-mation so that others can succeed as well.

“It just makes sense for

BC to share this knowledge with other institutions so that other students can also benefit,” Gardner said.

 Wendy Holden, CWU’s director of student dis-ability services, said the program will go a long way in helping students build a foundation for success.

When BC developed ASN, Gardner said it was done with four areas of fo-cus: executive functioning; social interaction; self-ad-vocacy; and self-regulation.

As students in the program increase their self-knowledge in these focus areas they’re also increasing their ability to balance col-lege academics and career preparation as well as life beyond college, she said.

 At least six other schools have shown their interest in implementing ASN at their institutions with more re-quests coming in regularly from across the country, Gardner said.

AAUW, BC to host girls STEM conference

In its continued effort

showcasing the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) oppor-tunities for girls, the Lake Washington branch of the American Association of University Women will hold its annual conference

at Bellevue College. Expanding Your Ho-

rizons, in its 29th year of support from AAUW, will host more than 600 girls in grades 9-12 at the college campus from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, March 27 showcasing more than 50 different presentations from women currently working in STEM fields.

Marcia Johnson, spokes-woman for AAUW’s Lake Washington branch, said

it’s imperative girls in high school get to see female role models in STEM fields and the work they’re involved with.

FYH has three main goals, she said, which include; increasing the interest of young women in STEM “through positive, hands-on experiences;” foster awareness of career opportunities in STEM fields; and to provide young women with opportunities to meet and interact with positive role models who are active STEM-related careers.

Student workshops range from occupational therapy demonstrations with Con-stance Ballou, to videogame development with Micro-soft program manager Katie Doran to criminal scene investigations with female Seattle police officers.

how expensive spools of the fila-ment were, and with its massively growing popularity, how fast those prices rose.

Currently a spool of filament, roughly 2.2 pounds, costs $36 plus shipping and handling, she said, and is often made from new pe-troleum. Using recyclable plastics, such as pop bottles, Havlin can make that same spool for about $3 and prevent that bottle from end-ing up in a landfill or the ocean.

Using a design inspired by inventor Hugh Lyman’s extruder, which turned virgin plastic pellets into usable filament, Havlin said for her “recycled plastic was the only way to go.”

“This isn’t about becoming an extruder building company,” Havlin said. “This is about human beings retaining the right to man-ufacture for themselves without having to purchase proprietary consumables or pollute the planet any further than we already have.”

It was about a year ago when Tristan Jones, a junior at Bellevue High School who was also study-ing at Bellevue College, reached out to Havlin after finding her research online.

In the following months, Jones and Havlin met several times to discuss the technology’s capabili-ties. They discovered the plastics couldn’t just be taken out of a landfill and ground up; it needed

to be clean and dry to make a filament that wouldn’t jam the 3D printer.

While they might not be able to pull plastics floating in the ocean, they can prevent them from get-ting there in the first place, Jones said.

“We’re making recycling cool again,” Jones said. “We can’t save the whole planet, but we can prevent these materials from being dumped into landfills and the oceans. We can change the 3D printing game. There’s enough

plastic to make whatever we need if we recycle it responsibly. There’s no need for more in the waste stream.”

Printing a design for the first time typically takes three tries to get measurements exact, Havlin said. Those trial prints often end up as garbage, but someone can transform it back into filament using an extruder.

Seeing the company’s potential, Jones reached out to his friends; Trevor Jahnke, Henry Roberts, Dolgoon Khatantuwl (D.K.) and

his older brother, Colby Jones to join him and Havlin.

D.K., who plans on attending Western Washington University next fall to study automotive engineering, said there’s a huge potential of printing 3D car parts out of recycled auto bumpers.

“A lot of car companies use plastic for all sorts of parts. If it breaks, those pieces could cost hundreds, thousands maybe, but using recyclable pieces and carbon fiber we can recreate those pieces at a fraction of the cost,”

he said. “We’ve already spoken to several local dealers who are very excited about the idea.”

For the auto dealers, printing replacement parts at a severely reduced cost gives them the abil-ity to pass the savings onto their customers who are more likely to remain their customers as op-posed to going to a third-party dealer or mechanic.

As word spreads about recyclable 3D printer filament, companies looking to print their products environmentally respon-sibly are reaching out in growing numbers, which means growth and additional workspace.

“We’re currently looking for industrial space to meet more of the demand,” Havlin said. “Ideally we’d be able to have the space to use 3D printers to build our extruders to send to customers to use while also making recycled filament. We’re bringing back lo-cal manufacturing.”

With the expanding business, the six members of Prototype Northwest are also looking for ad-ditional investment opportunities, and with the passage of recent legislation allowing crowd sourc-ing funds to be used for profits, anyone can get in on the ground floor, Havlin said.

“Some people may want to invest to get cheap 3D printer filament, others might see our environmental impact; regardless the reason, we want to hear from everyone in our community to help us decide how we grow this company,” she said.

Pack your bags; it’s time for summer campEvery summer camp has its own list

of what children need to bring for the duration of their stay, and some extra attention should be given to the requirements for specialty camps. However, some things are standard, whether your child will be riding horses or building circuit boards. Here are some of the must-haves you’ll need to include in your children’s luggage. Be sure to start packing well ahead of departure day so you have enough time to purchase any items they don’t yet have.

Apart from a daily change of weather-appropriate clothing, underwear, and socks, the following items are recommended:

• sun hat or baseball cap • bathing suit • warm sweater and pants, in case of

cold weather • running shoes, plus a pair of back-up

shoes• raincoat or poncho • plastic bags for dirty or wet clothes

Make sure their toiletries kit includes these:

• sunscreen

• lip balm, ideally with sun protection • medications, if any • insect repellent

Most summer camps will require you to provide these:

• flashlight • water bottle • sleeping bag and pillow • backpack

Not every minute of the day is going to be filled with organized activities, so pack some entertainment for free time:

• book • deck of cards or small board game • drawing pad and pencils

Be sure to pack a few things that will offer comfort during any moments of homesickness:

• a stuffed toy • stamped and self-addressed

envelopes and writing paper so they can write home

Your children are going to come home with lasting memories of summer camp. Why not throw in a disposable camera so they can capture some of them in color?

Newport Knights girls tennis head coach Ryan Pang is brimming with confidence even though the 2015 regular season is in its infancy.

Pang, who is in his third season as the Knights girls tennis team’s head coach, believes this is the year his team can challenge for the Class 4A KingCo League title.

“I’m expecting us to win league. I’m just really excited. Last year we didn’t have a lot of standout play-ers but we had good depth and finished in fourth place behind Skyline, Issaquah and Garfield. This year we have a bunch of good play-ers and a lot of returners so I expect us to finish in first. Our depth is going to be amazing,” Pang said. “We have five really good freshmen and on top of that we have a lot of good senior leadership. I know that it is

a bit of a cliche to say that, but we actually do.”

Pang said senior team captains Erica Hsia, Kari Nasu and Sara Park epito-mize what it means to be reliable.

“They all do a really good job of taking care of the team really well,” Pang said. “With the amount of talent we have, we can run really good practices. The girls are pushing each other more

this year than in the past couple of years. The fresh-man set the tone at practice regarding the atmosphere and intensity level. I can’t wait for us to play our first couple of matches.”

Pang said freshman Vivian Glozman is the top freshman tennis player in Washington.

“She should be able to win state,” he said.

Nasu said having a

talented troupe of freshmen players on the varsity squad makes the team that much better.

“I feel like it motivates us. The fact that we have a lot of new people on the team is exciting too,” Nasu said. “It encourages us to do more bonding events.”

Hsia echoed Nasu’s sentiment.

Knights set sights on league title

Shaun Scott, Bellevue Reporter

Newport Knights tennis team captains Erica Hsia, Kari Nasu and Sara Park are determined to lead their squad to the Class 4A KingCo league championship this spring.

Newport girls tennis team has a plethora of talented athletes

SEE TENNIS, 14

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

The first day of spring finally arrived today. When I think of the spring months, the first connota-

tion that delves into my mind are the sights and sounds of the baseball diamond. The familiar banter of coaches doling out directives, the crack of the bat and the ball slapping into the grasp of a catcher’s mitt are all synony-mous with not only baseball but spring as well.

High school baseball teams kicked off their first practices of the 2015 season on March 2. The majority of squads played their first games this past week. Even though spring didn’t officially arrive until today, the weather these past three weeks has been spectacular which is conducive to not only baseball games, but prac-tices. Oftentimes teams are forced to practice indoors due to inclement weather conditions.

That hasn’t been much of a hurdle early in the season much to the delight of local players, coaches and fans. I’m excited to see how the Newport Knights, Bellevue Wolverines, Sammamish Totems, Interlake Saints and Bellevue Christian Vikings perform on the diamond this spring. Last season the Knights, who finished the season with an overall record of 10-10-1, lost to the Issaquah Eagles in the Class 4A KingCo playoffs.

Bellevue finished with an overall record of 12-9-1, Interlake went 10-11, Sammamish finished with a mark of 9-11 and Bellevue Christian ended the 2014 season with a record of 7-12. The 2015 season may have just be-gun, but there is no shortage of excitement with regard to high school baseball in the Bellevue region with the multitude of talented teams in the area.

“We’re hoping to win (Class 4A) KingCo and take a few people to state. We’ll see. You never know what can happen,” Hsia said.

Hsia said Pang, who played tennis at Santa Clara College in the late 1990s and early 2000s, is a great teacher of the sport.

“I really like Ryan as a coach because he just knows a lot about tennis. He played in college (Santa Clara) so he really knows what he is talking about. It’s really nice to hear some of the tips he has for us,” she said.

In 2014 the Bellevue Wolverines girls water polo team captured a 10th place finish at the state tournament.

Wolverines’ senior team captain Julie Mao believes her squad can eclipse last season’s performance by the time May rolls around.

“We have a lot of raw talent. I think if we continue to work hard, we can finish in the top four at state,” Mao said.

Mao, who is the lone senior on the team, embraces the role of being the most experienced athlete on the roster.

“I feel like the mother of the team. I’m the mama bear,” Mao said. “It’s kind of a big responsi-bility. I feel like when I’m in the pool I have to be working hard all the time. I can’t be slacking off at all because I feel like people are always watching me which is

stressful.” Mao said the stress is worth it

when Bellevue head coach Evan Kaseguma calls on her to mentor the younger players on the team.

“When I’m chosen to demon-strate a drill I feel like all of my hard work paid off. It is really rewarding,” she said.

Mao said Kaseguma is adept at teaching the exquisite details of water polo.

“He is probably one of the most knowledgeable coaches I’ve ever had. He leads by example. He is kind of unique because he was a smaller player (Kaseguma is 5 feet, 10 inches tall) and you imagine water polo coaches being these big strong players. I think it’s really helpful though because he teaches us the technical skills to make us better,” Mao said.

Recently, the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Mao a few questions about her life away from the pool.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Julie Mao: It is “(500) Days of Summer.” It’s a corky spin on a classic love story.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

JM: People who chew with their

mouth open. People eat in class when I’m taking tests. It is really annoying.

BR: Who was your favorite sports team growing up?

JM: I actually grew up as a swimmer so I followed swimming so it’s not really a team. I followed individuals like Ryan Lochte, Mi-chael Phelps and Natalie Kaufman.

DON’T MISS THE EGG-CITEMENT!

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

 Eastside native Bran-

don Ivie, fresh off his hugely success directo-rial run of “A Christmas Story” late last year, is returning to The 5th Avenue next month to direct its newest musical “Jasper in Deadland” and he’s bringing with him Broadway talent.

Last week, actor Matt Doyle, who’s starred in Broadway’s productions of “War Horse,” “Spring Awakening” and “The Book of Mormon” was cast in Ivie’s production, which kicks off April 30.

Doyle has also had a recurring role on the hit TV show “Gossip Girl.”

The new musical, which revolves around Jasper, a teenager who has to travel through the un-derworld facing gods and monsters in search of his best friend and true love Agnes, was created in the spirit of “RENT” and “Spring Awakening,” said creators Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster.

The “modern day retelling of Orpheus” is scored with musical

inspiration from artists ranging from Green Day to Adele, which provides an ideal vehicle for the

cast of 14 to show off their vocal ranges and the story’s ability to transition to numerous

locations, Ivie said. Ivie, who made his

“Off-Off-Broadway” directing debut with the original production of “Jasper in Deadland,” in the spring of last year, said the work done on it in New York took the show to the next level and he’s excited to showcase it in Seattle.

“I love it because it’s why you go to the the-atre,” he said of the show and it’s many set pieces. “We’re going to give you slices of Deadland your mind can relate to and then take you the rest of the way.”

Ivie added the show, with its roots in ancient Greek, Egyptian, Roman and Norse legends and fables, really explores what it means to be truly alive.

Originally slated to

show “Something Rot-ten!” this spring, 5th Av-enue staff chose “Jasper in Deadland” as its replace-ment when “Something Rotten!” was selected to run on Broadway.

Ticketholders to “Something Rotten!” at the 5th Avenue Theatre will receive a voucher in the mail to see the show on Broadway before Sept. 7, 2015 and will also have their tickets exchanged automatically into equivalent seats for performances of “Jasper in Deadland,” according to 5th Avenue spokesper-son Bridget Summers.

Ivie said the show is an ideal replacement and offers audiences the op-portunity to experience new work.

David Armstong, 5th Avenue Theatre’s executive producer and

artistic director, said he couldn’t be more pleased to showcase the new musical.

“Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster are two of the most exciting young talents work-ing in the theatre today and The 5th has a very successful track record in providing emerging theater artists like these with a large scale play-ing field in which they can thrill and amaze us. What ‘RENT’ is to ‘La Boheme,’ this show is to the Orpheus myths and legends.”

The show runs April 30-May 24. Tickets,

which start at $29 each, may be purchased at

www.5thavenue.org, by phone at 206-625-1900 or at the box office, 1308 5th

Avenue in Seattle.

Phyliss Cicile SalazarAfter 84 wonderful years our loving

mother and friend passed away in Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 4, 2015. She was a bright and beautiful woman with a generous spirit and a loving nature. Although she will be dearly missed by her family and friends, she is now at peace and will live forever in their hearts.

Phyliss was born in Cody, Wyoming on October 13, 1930 to Harry Waller and Dorothy Edmondson. She was raised an only child in Great Falls, Montana by her mother and grandparents.

She met the love of her life, Bernard Salazar while living in Albuquerque. They chose to spend the majority of their life together in their Bellevue, Washington home. Phyliss moved back to Albuquerque in 2005.

Phyliss was preceded in death by her loving late husband of 30 years, Bernard Ernest Salazar.

She will be greatly missed by her surviving � ve children, Cindy of Chelan, Washington, Loren of Montgomery, Texas, Paula of Cannon Beach, Oregon, Bruce of Mount Vernon, Washington,

Sheryl of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and their families.1274963

Bellevue High School Chamber Orchestra headed to New York

The Bellevue High School Chamber Orches-tra will be performing at Carnegie Hall on April 4, 2015. After auditioning, the orchestra was one of seventeen instrumental en-sembles chosen from across the nation to perform at the two-day festival.

The Chamber Orchestra will be performing works by Josef Suk, Anton Aren-sky and Pietro Mascagni. The orchestra will have an exclusive private rehearsal with New Jersey Symphony conductor, Jeff Grogan, two

days prior to their perfor-mance. The performance will be adjudicated by Frank Battisti, Craig Kirch-hoff, Charles Peltz and H. Robert Reynolds. Funding was provided by Bellevue Orchestra parents, the BHS Boosters, BHS PTSA and the Bellevue Schools Foundation.

Meydenbauer Center hosts Arabesque belly dance April 4

 For years the belly dance art form has gained steady momentum in popular-ity. Whether as a spectator dazzled by the dancers movement or physical exercise, bellydancing is appealing to all ages.

 Nefabit Hinton, director of Spokane-based North-west Bellydance, said her company has received in-creasing acclaim as the art form has grown and she’s excited to showcase the talented artists next month at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center.

Combining cultural dances, modern production

and “a dose of imagination” the troupe’s production includes belly dance, tribal fusion and modern adapta-tions of folkloric dances, she said.

 By incorporating the wide-range of styles, Hinton said their dancing reaches a larger audience.

 “Our show is for the whole family and appeals to a diverse audience,” she said. “Belly dance as we know it has a vast spread, with influences reaching across the Middle East, Mediterranean, North Af-rica and Balkan mountains. We aim to present an excit-ing night out that is cultural and educational as well as entertaining and unique.”

Tickets for the show, which runs 7-9 p.m. April 4, are on sale at arabesque.brownpapertickets.com.

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.

The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your � ve favorite stories to: [email protected]. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Dirty car wash water contaminates

our waterways with petroleum

hydrocarbons, heavy metals, phosphorous,

nitrogen, and sediments.

A Clean Ride Shouldn’t Lead to Dirty Water

Even biodegradable

soap can pollute our water.

Soaps dissolve the

protective mucous layer on fish and natural oils in the gills, making fish more susceptible

to diseases.

Use a commercial car wash!

Commercial car washes send dirty water to the sewer

for treatment.
