High schools in Bellevue are making head-lines once again - this time as some of the nation’s best public high schools Newsweek’s 2013 list of “America’s Best High Schools.”

All �ve Bellevue high schools – Interna-tional, Newport, Interlake, Bellevue and Sam-mamish – made the cut, with International School ranking 31st out of 2,000 public high schools in the nation; Newport was also in the top 100 at number 80.

At the state level, four Bellevue schools made the top �ve statewide and all �ve high schools are among the top 20 statewide.

�e Newsweek ranking is based on six components: four-year on-time graduation rate, percent of graduates accepted to college, Advanced Placement (AP)/International Baccalaureate (IB)/Advanced International Certi�cate of Education (AICE) tests taken per student, average SAT and/or ACT scores, average AP/IB/AICE test scores, and AP courses o�ered per student.

Year a�er year, national publications have consistently ranked Bellevue schools among the best public high schools in the nation, a trend many educators attribute to the follow-ing: 91 percent of all Bellevue high school graduates have completed one or more AP or IB courses; 3,500 high school students in Bellevue enrolled in more than 8,400 rigorous AP, IB and “Beyond AP” courses this year; 67 percent of Bellevue’s Class of 2012 graduates earned a passing score on at least one AP exam during high school, compared to 19 percent of graduates nationally.

"AP and college prep doesn't begin in high school," said Lance Balla, K12 English Cur-riculum Developer for the Bellevue School District. "It begins way before high school."

He said Bellevue schools continue to rank highly because the sta� and administrators in understand this concept, and have committed to a notion of rigor.

"�at doesn't mean hardship," Balla said. "It means holding kids to high standards while at the same time supporting them to reach those high standards."

Balla said this mentality stems from the leadership of former school superintendent Mike Riley. During his 11 years with the dis-trict, Riley developed a common curriculum for the district and increased the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses by roughly 70 percent.

"If you look at our middle school teams, they think of their students as future AP stu-dents," Balla said. "�ey're thinking about that in their lessons, they're constantly focused on that goal."

Although students in Bellevue are not required to take AP classes, it's highly encour-aged for every one to take part. Balla said taking away these "gates" – GPA require-ments, letters of recommendations, tests – has allowed Bellevue to help students of all types perform at the highest level.

"All of the teachers feel that they have the permission to be rigorous in their courses - that they don't have to create a track system," Balla said.

Bellevue City Council■ Vandana Slatter recently an-

nounced her run for Bellevue City Council, Position 6, now held by Don Davidson.

"I am excited to serve this great city by bringing a fresh perspective and a voice on council that represents a changing Bellevue," said Slatter in a statement about her run for election. "It is the right time for Bellevue City Coun-cil to re� ect this change."

Slatter, a clinical pharmacist who identi� es herself as Asian American, says she hopes to serve as a bridge between Bellevue's increasingly diverse population and its growing industries and business communities. She also serves as a board member of the Overlake Hospital Foun-dation and previously on the Foundation Board of NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, as a Trustee of the Children's Institute for Learning Di� erences and on the Washing-ton State Board of Pharmacy.

Last week Lyndon Heywood announced a run against Mayor Conrad Lee and today Councilmember Kevin Wallace announced his re-election plans. Candidate campaign � ling is open through May 17.

■ Lynne Robinson, running for Posi-tion 6, has raised $35,000 in contributions and pledges with close to $15,000 raised in April alone, according to a news release. Also, she has picked up endorsements from former Bellevue Mayor Cary Bozeman and

former councilmembers Iris Tocher and Margot Blacker.

County Council■ Reagan Dunn has received the

backing of the majority of councilmembers from the cities of Bellevue and Newcastle.

In Bellevue, Mayor Conrad Lee and councilmembers Don Davidson, John Stokes, John Chelminiak, Kevin Wallace and Deputy Mayor Jennifer Robertson all endorsed Dunn’s re-election to the King County Council.

In Newcastle, Mayor Rich Crispo and councilmembers John Dulcich, Steve Buri, Gordon Bisset and Lisa Jensen have endorsed him.

Dunn also has received the endorsement of the Seattle KingCounty Realtor As-sociation. � e organization is a nonpro� t professional trade organization comprised of 5,000 members who are licensed real estate professionals.

Dunn represents District 9 on the coun-cil, which includes the southern portion of Bellevue and the city of Newcastle.

Judi Miller, a volunteer for the Bellevue Police Department who provided extensive

support for a program to improve parking for people with disabilities, has been awarded the Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Service Award.

Miller has logged more than 1,700 volunteer hours with the Police Department since 2007.

In 2012, while doing a ride-along with her

husband, George, who was on his volunteer Parking Enforcement Patrol shi� , she learned that many property owners don’t maintain proper disabled parking signage, preventing violators from being ticketed.

Working with other volunteers and the city’s Tra� c Police Support O� cer, Miller documented the improper signage and contacted property owners to educate them about disabled parking regulations. Her e� orts contributed to several hundred properties in Bellevue being brought into compliance.

Was the outcome of Seattle’s May Day protest re-ally a surprise?

A week of television hype prior to May 1 focused on what previously went wrong and could go wrong again. Every Seattle news station followed up its apocalyptic previews on the day of, sending multiple teams of cameramen and reporters to the streets.

Crews weaved through crowds, pro-viding hours upon hours of live coverage.

� ere was only one problem , in the world of protests, the march was benign. � ere was only some sign-waving here and some chanting over there.

Television reporters remained persis-tent, � lling dead air with words like “violence” and “mobs.” In reality, viewers were treated to dramatic live coverage of nothing.

However, the TV folks � nally proved if you Wag the Dog long enough, it will bite back.

A� er hours of peaceful protests, the assault of a TV news reporter and his cameraman launched a series of arrests. An event that deserved minor coverage at best, turned into the chaos they were looking for.

In an amateur video of the incident, someone in the

crowd can be heard saying, “You want violence, over here cameraman.”

� is begs the question, if the stage wasn’t there, would the result have been the same?

I don’t think so.� ere are bad eggs in every group, but the majority were

there to peacefully protest whatever cause they support.I’m not saying local TV should have ignored the event.

It is news a� er all. But a single cameraman shooting stock footage of protesters would su� ce. Quite honestly, that’s all it’s worth.

Instead, multiple reporters from multiple stations inte-grated themselves in the crowd and gave live play-by-play of nothing. � ey acted as antagonists, eventually launching the violence they were there to cover.

I believe in news. I work in the industry a� er all. But, when a news organization creates or becomes the news itself, there is a huge problem.

Hopefully there was a lesson learned during this year’s events.

If not, I fear this is a scene that will continue to repeat itself every May.

Under the Washington State consti-tution, providing an ample educa-tion for all students is identi� ed as

state government’s “para-mount duty.” Last year, the state Supreme Court ruled that the legislature had failed to meet that duty by persistently un-derfunding our schools. � is year, the legislature is responding.

� e governor and lawmakers of both par-

ties agree that upwards of $1 billion in new funding needs to go to education. However, some lawmakers want to actually eliminate

funding for one of our state’s most success-ful education programs: Navigation 101.

� at program is scienti� cally proven to reduce drop-out rates.  A total of 52 percent of all middle and high schools in Washing-ton use Navigation 101 to help kids prepare for their future and graduate. Eliminating it now will make our state’s drop out problem worse.  

We use Navigation 101’s curriculum and tools to help our students develop their core competencies in career and life planning, post-secondary option decision making, college admissions, the � nancial aid process and more. � e program also provides tools for counselors, teachers and administrators to track and monitor student and school

performance. Some kids thrive in traditional class-

rooms and need very little help from specialized programs like Navigation 101. But for many others, targeted assistance is crucial. I have seen many kids stay in school, graduate and move on to successful futures because of Navigation 101.

It is hard to understand the rationale be-hind eliminating funding for this program. Years of data prove that Navigation 101 helps students succeed.

We know it isn’t expensive. � e two year budget to keep Navigation 101 available to all school districts is just over $5 million, not a large program in a budget of over $30 billion.

Nearly one in four of Washington’s students

fail to graduate on time. Navigation 101 is designed speci� cally to address this crisis. Why would we take this resource away from school districts that are using it to change lives right now?

� e state legislature is working on a new two year state budget now. Several eastside legislators, particularly Rep. Ross Hunter, and Sens. Rodney Tom and Andy Hill, are crucial in this debate. � ey need to hear from you. Please call the toll free legislative hotline today at 1-800-562-6000, and ask Hunter, Tom and Hill to support continued funding for Navigation 101.

It comes as no surprise that in today’s fast-paced society and news-� lled days that we tend to forget some of the minor details. “What did I have for lunch?” “What time

was I supposed to pick up your sister?” But fast forward, and suddenly things are more confus-

ing. You are not quite sure where you are or what is going on. Worst of all, you just cannot remember.

Alzheimer’s disease is prevalent among 40 percent of people 80 years and older. In America alone, Alzheim-er’s disease a� ects more than 5 million. � at’s why I did my senior project on the issue.

I got the chance to join my mentor, Dr. Yong Zhou, and other members in

Dr. Leroy Hood’s Lab at the Institute for Systems Biology and assist with clinical lab work involving Alzheimer’s disease research. While it is important that scienti� c ad-vancements be made, it is also important to make e� orts in patient care for those who already have Alzheimer’s.

Over the past few months I have been working with Alzheimer’s patients at Overlake Terrace in Redmond and have become very fond of them. I feel almost helpless that I cannot make everything better, but it means that I work harder in other areas.

My � rst day volunteering is still a clear memory for me. I remember one resident who immediately latched onto me and kept talking to me in incoherent sentences. As the weeks progressed, I gradually became more comfortable around the residents and learned to understand them.

One of my biggest fears was asking them or talking to them in a way that they would � nd o� ensive. I o� en had to talk very loudly and slowly, which is not always the nicest way to talk to someone.

In the beginning, we were all strangers. But now, they recognize me. � ey may not know my name or even their own name, but when they see my face and my smile, their eyes light up and they wave. It is a connection that can only be described by experiencing it, and to have established relationships with the residents makes me feel very ap-

preciative. While I volunteered, I also decided to get creative and

implement some of my own ideas. I created an interactive and colorful game called “Remembering Food,” � lled with pictures of fruits. � is kind of activity helps train physical senses, social senses, emotional senses, memory and puts the resident in a happier mood. It gives me a sense of ac-complishment and joy that I can connect with the residents and express my compassion.

she sought the help of Dr. Simon P. Horslen, Medical Director of the Liver and Intestinal Transplantation division at Seattle Children's Hospital. A�er several discussions about the severity of Kaitlin's condition – and �ve months on the trans-plant list – she underwent the procedure.

"�e following day, she seemed like a dif-ferent girl," Michelle said.

From the minute Kaitlin awoke she was feeling better – talking to her parents about things that had happened years previously, things they didn't think she'd be able to remember. A little over a year later, Kaitlin doesn’t experience any of her propionic acidemia symptoms and has a liver capable of metabolizing the amino acids her body was unable to process previously.

Dr. Horslen said the only risk Kaitlin faces in the years to come is that her body could reject the organ. However, he said

the chance of that happening is very slim, especially as long as Kaitlin keeps to her prescribed medication and visits the hospi-tal every few months.

�ough Michelle said Kaitlin will likely never be at the same level as her peers because of the e�ect the toxins had on her brain, she said her daughter is doing better than they ever expected.

"�e quality of life for our whole family has changed for the better," Michelle said.

Kaitlin is currently enrolled in the Special Education program at Highland Middle School in Bellevue, where, for the �rst time, she's able to be an active partici-pant in her class; she's even reading and doing math.

But more that that, Kaitlin is �nally get-ting to experience life in a way she never has before. �is summer she'll make her second trip to Camp Korey, an overnight camp for children with life altering medical conditions – on her own two feet.

Bellevue College has received a $150,000 grant from College Spark Washington to support college readiness and retention for low-income students.

Research shows that only one in �ve low-income students is prepared for college level work compared with over half of middle and upper-income students. And even when a low-income student gets into college, he or she is seven times less likely to earn a bach-elor’s degree than a more a�uent peer.

As one of 11 grantees in the state, Bel-levue College must measure results using at least one of the four indicators of future

college success:n Increasing the number of students that

take and pass Algebra by the eighth grade;n Decreasing the number of middle

school students that trigger two of three early warning indicators: �ve or more ab-sences per semester; course failure; suspen-sion or expulsion.n Decreasing the number of students

that require development education in col-lege; andn Increasing the number of students

that earn their �rst college-level credit in English or math.

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

Greg Powell, co-owner of the newly opened Grocery Outlet in Crossroads, has been in the business since he was 16, when he got his � rst job bagging groceries at an Albertsons.

“Grocery is fun,” said Jessi, Greg’s wife and co-owner of the location, which opened � ursday. “Retail is either in your blood, or it’s not.”

On Wednesday, em-ployees put the � nish-ing touches on displays, assembling produce stands and pushing out the last of the product. On Saturday, a number of events will be held at the store from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

� e location, at 156th Ave-nue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street, has had many lives as an appliance store, a hair salon, a dry cleaner and formerly a karate studio. She remembers neighbors com-plaining of a small vagrant population in the parking lot, but their move said Jessi, “is like leaving your porch

light on.” “So far, so good,” said

Jessi of the move. “...Any time you bring something new into the community, it brings light and activity.”

Grocery Outlet secures deep discounts by purchas-ing excess products from companies when orders fall through, a branding strat-egy doesn’t sell, or seasonal goods still have bulk orders le� over.

“A lot of times a company will try desperately to stay relevant,” explained Jessi. “It’s consumer ADD...We get the overstock, the label

change, the Oreo cookies that have orange Halloween � lling, but they have a long code date on them, and my customers don’t care. � ey think it’s fun.”

She points to a gallon of organic apple cider: “$5.99, that’s the price we used to pay 20 years ago.”

� e Powells hope to distinguish themselves from other locations with more organic products and gluten-free items (Jessi herself is gluten-intolerant). � ey plan to donate a palette of food to Hopelink down the road, and have made a point

of attending neighborhood chamber meetings.

“We’ll continue to evolve,” said Greg. “We try to set the store based on what the demographic is currently, but we will evolve and that comes with focus-ing on our customers.”

� e couple is optimistic about the venture. Demo-graphic assessments of the neighborhood indicate that 36,000 cars drive both roads daily and the store will join what is already a commerce center with Crossroads Mall across the way.

“I have relationships at the old store [with custom-ers] and I know their life story...It’s more grassroots than anything,” said Jessi. “I think it will be interest-ing to see how Bellevue interprets our model, if they embrace it. I think they will. We’re not a warehouse. It’s literally a mom and pop shop. It’s a locally owned grocery store.”

BSD, teachers reach tentative agreement

Members of the Bellevue Education Association and Bellevue School District negotiations teams have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year contract. According to a release from the school dis-trict, "the agreement will remain con�den-tial until rati�ed by the general member-ship of the Bellevue Education Association and the Bellevue School Board."

�e contract is expected to go before the association at an upcoming board meeting. Agendas for the school board meetings, which will be open to the public, can be found at the district website; agendas are usually updated the Friday before board meetings, which are held every other Tuesday.

Comments sought on cuts to bus service

�e King County Council’s Transporta-tion, Economy and Environment Com-mittee will hold a special meeting Tuesday, May 14 to take public testimony about potential Metro Transit service cuts.

Metro faces a $75 million annual short-fall and will have to cut service by up to 600,000 hours, or 17 percent, beginning

in fall 2014 unless new funding becomes available. Roughly two-thirds of Metro bus routes might be eliminated, reduced or revised.

Testimony will begin at 4 p.m. with an open house at 3:30. �e meeting will be at Union Station, 401 S Jackson St, Seattle.

How to sing workshop set at Crossroads

People who always have loved singing, and wondered if lessons are for them, can �nd out Saturday, May 11 at Crossroads Shopping Center.

Adam Burdick of Dusty Strings will teach “Get Ready to Sing” from 1-3 p.m. in the center’s Community Room. Burdick will teach how to sing freely and with good tone, how to know when you’re singing in tune, and how to start learning a new song. He also will share concepts about body structure and mechanics that can help a person’s singing for years to come.

Burdick holds a doctorate in music and has been helping new singers �nd their voices since 1992. �e $30 workshop is for people age 13 and over. For more informa-tion or to register, call 425-644-1111.

A community shred will be held Sat-urday, June 1, in the parking lot at Fred Meyer on 148th NE in Bellevue, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to bene�t Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Seattle Children’s Hospital guild mem-bers will be on hand collecting payment of $5 per grocery bag of documents and $10 per archive box for shredding in a shred-it mobile truck. One hundred percent of the proceeds will bene�t uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s.

Last year, Children’s provided $113.7 million in uncompensated care to fami-lies in Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho.

Sale to feature pots, garden items

�e Seattle Children’s Hospital Bargain Boutique in the Overlake area will hold its 3rd annual Garden Sale from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday May 18. �e store has collected pots and garden items throughout the year, which will be featur-ing at the sale.

His goal this year is $13,000 for the uncompensated care fund.

�e store is located at 15137 NE 24th St., Redmond.

PSE power plant back in operation

One of the Paci�c Northwest’s oldest power plants, the historic Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Project, is once again producing electricity for local homes and businesses following a three-year, top-to-bottom overhaul.

Puget Sound Energy’s 102-year-old Plant 2 powerhouse at Snoqualmie Falls was idled in June 2010. Located about a quarter mile downstream from the falls, the plant underwent near-total reconstruction under a new, 40-year federal operating license.

�e energy site’s Plant 1 powerhouse – just upstream from the falls in a bedrock cavity almost 270 feet underground – also is getting a comprehensive make-over. Built in 1898-99, the elder pow-erhouse is scheduled to resume electric generation in July.

Bellevue Farmer’s Market celebrates 10 years

Next week, the Bellevue Farmer’s Market will kick-o� it’s 10th season in the parking lot of Bellevue Presbyterian Church.

Started by Market Director Lori Tay-lor in 2004, the idea came about a�er Taylor’s pastor, Scott Dudley, asked the church community to think about ways to serve Bellevue.

Committed to bringing fresh farm products direct from the hands that grew it to the Bellevue community, the Bellevue Farmer’s Market is a nonpro�t 501(c)(3) supporting small family farms.

Opening Day of the market will take place next �ursday, May 16, and will feature live music, alpacas, hourly draw-ings for market products, face painting for kids, buckets of spring �owers and tables of fresh produce. Attendees will also have the chance to win a glassybaby set (Roots, Eggplant and Pumpkin), as well as speak to representatives from the KidsQuest Museum and Eastside Heri-tage Center.

�is year marks the 20th anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. Great strides have been made in the �ght against breast cancer during those 20 years, but the �ght is not over. Advances in research, detection and treatment have saved thousands of lives and Komen has in some way touched ev-ery major breast cancer advance in the last 30-plus years. �ere is still more to be done and QFC is committed to helping continue the important work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

�e Komen organization is QFC’s char-ity of the month for May. On June 2nd, QFC will also be the presenting sponsor of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. �is great event brings together thousands of runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-�lled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health

education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help.

�is support is critically important because despite the many advances that have taken place, over 200,000 women and men in the United States will be di-agnosed with breast cancer this year. One of every eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her life-time. Approximately 95% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. occur in women over 40. However, the good news is that the 5-year survival rate for women who have had their breast cancer diag-nosed before it spread beyond the breast is 99%. �is is up from 74% in 1982.

25% of the funds that are raised through local events like the Puget Sound event are used to fund a wide range of research. �ere are over 750 ongoing projects in the U.S. and many other countries. �e research focuses on using current knowl-edge to discover new ways to reduce risk, identify cancer cells at earlier and earlier

stages when treatment is most e�ective, develop new treatments and ultimately to prevent breast cancer altogether. Research funding has been provided to a wide vari-ety of college graduates, doctoral studies graduates and established scientists and doctors, including to three Nobel Prize winners. Research applications are rigor-ously peer reviewed by clinical and scien-ti�c experts and trained advocates.

If you would like to join QFC in sup-porting the valuable work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, one way would be to join us and thousands of others at the Race for the Cure on June 2, 2013, at

Seattle Center. Information on signing up can be found online at komenpuget-sound.org.

A second way to support the organiza-tion is to donate at our checkstands. We have donation scan cards in $1, $5, and $10 amounts and also change jars for your spare change. We thank our gener-ous customers for their great support and joining with us to support a truly worthy organization. If you have any questions or comments please contact Amanda Ip at [email protected] or call 503.421.1146.

Redmond: A pair of buildings were saved from destruc-tion when � re sprinklers activated to control two separate � res until the � re department arrived.

Issaquah: A homeowner shot and wounded an intruder just before 1 p.m. Friday, May 3. � e homeowner, a 56-year-old Issaquah man, shot the suspect, a man in his mid-20s, a� er the suspect broke into a home in the 18500 block of Northwest Montreux Drive. A delivery truck driver observed the scu� e, heard the shot and made the initial 911 call at about 1:05 p.m. � e suspect was trans-ported to Harborview Medical Center. � e homeowner was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Snoqualmie: A� er police found and demolished two transient camps, Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley says the time is right for the city to bring its own books up to a Valleywide standard. With neighboring North Bend banning outdoor camping in public places in January, the Snoqualmie City Council is considering a similar ordi-nance this month. � e new rule, slated for action May 13, bans camping in public parks, trails and open spaces. Outdoor camping at events such as Relay for Life would be allowed by special permit.

Kirkland: A� er more than a month of litigation, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a motion for a temporary restraining order for the removal of rails at the Cross Kirkland Corridor. � e city of Kirkland planned on re-moving the rails along the 5.75 mile corridor in April to be replaced by gravel for an interim trail. But plans came to a halt when the city was met with a lawsuit from a Ballard railroad company.

Eastside StoryWhat’s happening in nearby cities

Let’s face it: we’re all geeks about something. When my husband and I got married he couldn’t understand how I could spend so much time in bookstores when I

worked in a library. My answer was simple. “� ey’re � lled with books.” Later, I couldn’t understand why he

would want to spend his days o� in hard-ware stores when he worked on construc-tion sites all week. He looked right at me, smirked, and answered.

“� ey’re � lled with tools.”I had no answer. We are drawn to our hobbies for one

reason or another, but talking about our hobbies with other enthusiasts is what

makes them worthwhile and enjoyable. My husband is less likely to engage in conversations about literary merit, narrative style or yarn weight, but displays a keen and almost scienti� c understanding of lumber grades or Supercross events.

I’ve been a reader all my life and I’ve learned that much of the joy of reading comes from talking about the books we

read. � at’s why we join book groups. If you are in a book group, or would like to join one, please come to the King County Library System’s Book Group Extravaganza on May 18 from 9 a.m. to noon at the KCLS Service Center at 960 Newport Way NW in Issaquah.

� ere will be food, a book exchange, advanced reader copies and swag bags on a � rst come, � rst served basis. Molly Wizenberg, author of A Homemade Life and the popular blog Orangette, will be the keynote speaker. Her book will be avail-able for sale by University Bookstore. � is event is free and no registration is required. You don’t need to be in a book group to attend.

Bring a friend or your book group members and some gently used books for the exchange. Be ready for conversa-tion on favorite books and authors with other like minded readers. Don’t forget to bring an extra bag. You’ll probably need one.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expecta-tion of the job.

Students from Bellevue's Woodridge Elementary School have won the King County Library System 2012-2013 Global Reading Challenge.

� e team, "Roaring Readers," defeated students from schools in the Lake Washington, Auburn and Tukwila school districts. In all, more than 200 students from 56 schools participated in the challenge. � e competition con-cluded March 22.

� e challenge is a cooperative e� ort between King County Library System and local public school districts. � e

Battle of the Books style program that allows fourth and � � h graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books.

Each year, King County Library System Children's Librarians select 10 titles in a wide range of reading levels especially suited to the interests of young readers. � e goal is to encourage students at all reading levels to engage in teamwork while reading some of the best in children's literature. Each team

must include some students with lower-level reading skills.

Challenge questions are based on speci� c and factual information within the books. All challenges are conducted by King County Library System sta� .

Initially, a challenge is held at the in-dividual school level. � e top team from each school proceeds on to their School District Challenge, with that winner moving on to the Regional Challenges. Regional winners compete in the Grand Challenge.

Celebrate . . . Mother’s Day

When Patricia � rst met Je� on the streets of Bellevue, he’d been homeless and living undiagnosed with severe mental illness for nearly 10 years. � ough he had family in the area, they wanted nothing to do with him, Je� somberly recounts for the camera.

“We live in the richest city in Washing-ton state. If there had been a stray dog on the street, we wouldn’t have le� it,” says Patricia.

And so despite the reluctance of her grown daughter and family, she took him in.

Je� and Patricia’s is one of several stories explored in “Hidden Pictures,” a docu-mentary, six-years in the making, about mental health care systems the world over. Many of the narratives hit close to home. � e � lm debuted Sunday at Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF) and fol-lows families in India, China, South Africa, France and Bellevue’s own backyard.

It’s not the � rst time local director and � lmmaker Delaney Ruston, has taken on the topic of mental health. Her � rst � lm, “Unlisted,” tells the story of her estranged schizophrenic father. Growing up she was so ashamed of her dad’s � ts of psychosis,

that she unlisted her phone number and hid from him for a decade, while raising a family and beginning a career in medicine. But when Ruston’s son began asking about his grandfather, she decided to revisit that part of her life, to satiate his curiosity, and help mend her own relationship. � e � lm le� Ruston with many unanswered ques-tions about the role of family in the treat-ment and management of mental illness.

“I think I’m still ba� ed why we’re not hearing more about the complete lack of attention to mental illness in many parts of the world,” says Ruston. “I’m hoping when we look back in history, we’ll see now is the time that we started galvanizing. We have a global obligation to change the paradigm.”

According to the World Health Organi-zation, 450 million people live worldwide with mental illness, and yet most healthcare systems fall dramatically short in dealing with the problem. � e U.S. devotes only one to two percent of its healthcare budget to the cause; in developing countries 80 percent of those believed to live with men-tal illness, go without treatment.

“To me really, documentaries aren’t the answer. � ey’re just a starting point,” says Ruston. “My goal is to start the discussion.”

Ruston began making � lms 15 years

ago. A practicing physician, the camera became a tool not only for her own therapy and understanding, but also to teach. In medical school, Ruston remembers feeling a disconnect between her studies and the patient experience, which she deemed criti-cal to nurturing empathy.

� ere is a silver lining. Ruston points to the empathy of strangers like Patricia.

“Once people learn more, [when they] hear stories,” explains Ruston, “then their hearts open up, and that is where the future can change.”

“Hidden Pictures” follows the lives of � ve individuals. In China, Ruston meets Je� , diagnosed – she suspects incorrectly – with schizophrenia a� er graduating from one of Beijing’s top universities. Je� has been admitted and living in a mental institution for eight years and though he seems high-functioning, his family’s refusal to let him out keeps him e� ectively imprisoned. In India, a mother keeps her daughter’s diag-nosis of schizophrenia a secret. Resources are scarce even among the 16.31 million people of Delhi, and the burden of caring for a grown daughter, takes a visible toll.

“I o� en say mental illness tears families apart, not because of the illness itself,” ob-serves Ruston, “but because whether you’re

in the U.S. or abroad, getting services can be so di� cult.”

Her own memories are of a father who refused to take his medicine and a family who, in many ways, chose to stay at a dis-tance. Ruston is now raising her own young children, ages 11 and 14 and hopes the silence about mental illness will end there.

“Data now shows the burden that these illnesses have on the human condition...So many people are a� ected, whether it be childhood disabilities, dementia or depres-sion. To completely ignore it is no longer an option.”

Bellevue College has moved the broad-cast tower of 91.3 KBCS, the campus radio station, to Cougar Mountain in Issaquah. � e project, which has been in the works for several years, expands the coverage of the station,

“� is is incredibly transformational for our station,” BC President David L. Rule said. “Our geographic reach is now much, much larger. � is is a big win for fans of public radio, because we provide unique programming that you just can’t get any-where else, and we think a lot of folks out there will be delighted to have more choice on the radio.”

� e tower moves expands coverage in several directions: south into Tacoma and areas of Pierce County; west into parts of Kitsap County, including Silverdale and Bremerton; and east to North Bend and communities in the eastern portion of King County. Reception has also improved for listeners in its original broadcast area of the Eastside and Seattle.

� e tower project was conceived when a station in Tacoma, 91.7 KXOT, was put up for sale, creating potential space in the FM spectrum for KBCS (which broadcasts at a similar frequency) to expand.

Since her freshman season at Interlake, Aleana Groenhout has been in the spot-light on the golf course.

An undeniable talent even as a 14-year-old, Groenhout has been one of the confer-ence’s top golfers throughout her prep career. On Monday, she took another step.

Groenhout, already a two-time state quali� er, ran away with the 2A/3A KingCo title at the Eagle’s Talon course at Willows Run Golf Course, besting the � eld by 11 strokes and leading the Saints to the team scoring championship in the process. She said the growth of her game from a psy-chological and emotional perspective was a major key to her success against KingCo’s best.

“I used to think it was just hitting con-sistent shots,” she said. “But to go low, you have to be able to work with bad shots.”

Groenhout � nished with a 36-37-73 to beat out Lake Washington’s Anna Jessen and Mount Si freshman Catlin Maralack and was one of four Interlake players to punch a ticket to the district tournament at Riverbend May 13.

“All season, she has shown glimpses of the ability to do that,” Calvert said of Groenhout’s dominating performance. “She stayed relaxed and calm, she was smiling and having a good time.”

Freshman Delaney Douglas was fourth with a score of 88, while Tenessee Hardesty, a senior, shot 96 to make the cut along with Danielle Niemann. Calvert said while Groenhout certainly paced the group, the Saints would not have been in the mix for the team scoring without the personal bests from her supporting cast.

“It’s really awesome seeing them im-prove,” Groenhout said of her teammates. “Having us all shoot personal bests and win, that is something I dream about.”

Calvert also said his team’s home-course advantage at Bellevue’s Tam O’Shanter, a course and neighborhood where many future Saints grow up and hone their skills with the sta� there, has been a major part of the success of the girls and boys programs.

Bellevue’s Lauren Patrick was eighth to earn a spot at districts, and teammates Tif-fany Huang, Katie Levy, Rachel Harmeyer, Priyanka Mehta and Alexis Choi also made the cut for the Wolverines and will head to Riverbend to try and earn a spot among the state’s best.

the second highest � nisher among 2A competitors.

Interlake � nished 14 points in front of Mount Si to win the team scoring title, with Bellevue in third and Sam-mamish in seventh, a point behind Liberty.

Only four of the conference’s six 3A schools quali� ed a golfer to districts.

Knights qualify trio When Newport senior Jessica Kent

came o� the course Tuesday a� er her round in the 4A District 2 golf tourna-ment, she wore a look of uncertainty.

Minutes later, as the 2013 state quali� ers were announced, the appre-hension was replaced with joy.

Kent was one of the three Newport players to earn a spot at the state tournament in Vancouver on May 13, � nishing one spot behind younger sister Monica in ninth place.

“A� er a rough day, I’m just happy I made it,” the elder Kent sister said. “I’m really excited.”

� e Knights were dealt an unex-pected blow before play began on Monday, when they learned sopho-more Marianne Li, one of the confer-ence’s top talents and a threat to win a state championship, would not be able to compete due to an injury.

Coach Todd O’Neill said while it was di� cult to take the course without their steadying force in Li, the remaining group of Isabel Chien, Maddie Dietz, Krystal Liang and Lauren Nakamichi, along with the Kent sisters, kept the team focused and con� dent.

“It was really tough,” O’Neill said. “We battled as best we could and we had a strong team even without Marianne.”

� at strength was more than

evident on day one, as the Knights outlasted Eastlake by a single stroke to take the 4A KingCo title. Chien came back to shoot 85 on day two, good enough to earn a sixth place � nish, while Monica and Jessica Kent shot 84 and 88 respectively.

Monica barely missed the cut for state in 2012, while Jessica le� the course with uncertainty about making her fourth and � nal trip despite end-ing the tournament with a 10-stroke cushion.

“I really wanted to make the cut a� er last year,” Monica said. “I’m really excited.”

� e � rst day’s scoring went to de-

cide the team and individual cham-pions for 4A KingCo, and a� er the � eld was cut, the 36 remaining players added their day two scores to decide the district champs and 13 state quali-� ers.

� e 4A state girls golf tournament is in two weeks at Club Green Mead-ows in Vancouver. � e tournament is a two-day a� air, with the � eld cut a� er day one and � nal scores from the two rounds added together.

BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER

Interlake High School’s Jazz ensemble won the national title for their high school category at the Reno Jazz Festival, which took place April 25-27.

Directed by David Kim, the band has been attending the festival for the past 10 years, but this year marks the � rst time they have ever taken the top spot in their category.

In its 51st year, the Reno Jazz Festival brings together the top school bands from around the country to compete; it is considered one of the biggest and best festivals for young musicians in the world. Other high schools from the Seattle area included Roosevelt and Gar� eld.

As the top band in the Division 1B Category, the 21 members of Interlake’s jazz band also had the opportunity to take part in the Festival Showcase and Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening, where they performed with the nine additional winning bands.

“We got to play on the big stage in front of thousands of people,” said student Zack Sweetser, who plays piano and keyboard. “Truly a night to remember.”

� e band played a jazz standard called “I � ought About You” and a funk chart called “Talk is Cheep” as part of the showcase.

Kim said they chose the � rst piece to perform because

they wanted to show everyone in attendance how hard they could swing. He siad they chose the funk piece because no one has done that style of piece in the 10 years Interlake has attended.

Students funded their trip to Reno through cookie dough sales, donations, and proceeds from a jazz band compilation they released last spring.

Kim said he is proud of his players and the feat they were able to accomplish and is already thinking about next year.

“� is is an award winning band program and expecta-tions are very high,” Kim said “And I don’t expect to lower them.”

A� er the incred-ible success of the Avengers � lm, “Iron

Man 3” comes out with an enthusiastic audience eager

to watch it. Following

his trauma escaping a wormhole in “� e Avengers,” Stark barely sleeps and

spends his time creating new and improved Iron Man suits. Con� ict arises when a malicious terrorist begins exploding things and threatening the American public and president.

At the same time, a sci-entist once scorned by Stark returns with revolutionary biotechnology. Before long, Stark � nds himself � ghting to stop the chaos and save those he cares about most.

Fortunately for those who have not seen the � rst and

second Iron Man � lms, the new story was not heavily based on the previous plot, but instead was virtually independent. “Iron Man 3” also seems to be the conclusion to the series.

� e action was thrilling and the movie had plenty of it. � e technology Starks created for his suits was in-genious. It was always excit-ing to see his famous suits perform a new unexpected trick or maneuver.

� e characters in Iron Man 3 were phenomenal. Robert Downey Jr. was back as Tony Starks with his witty humor and endear-ingly arrogant attitude. Gwyneth Paltrow resumed her supporting role as Pen-ny, and grew as a character throughout the � lm. Guy Pearce was amazing as the

stumbling weakling turned unlikely villain.

One great addition to the � lm was the inclu-sion of adorable child star, Ty Simpkins, as Starks’ unlikely helper. Ben King-sley brought completely unexpected highlights to the � lm in his performance as the sadistic terrorist, the Mandarin.

Overall, fans of action

movies, superheroes, and Robert Downey Jr. will all � nd something to love about the latest Iron Man � lm.

Howard S Wright, 501 East- lake Ave E, Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98109 is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Con- struction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, The Spring District - Phase 1A, is located at 1227 – 124th Avenue NE in Bellevue in King County, WA. This project involves 14.75 acres of soil dis- turbance for office, roadway and utility infrastructure construction activities. Stormwater will be discharged to a man-made con- veyance system that discharges to Lake Bellevue. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or in- terested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecol- ogy in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publica- tion of this notice. Ecology re-views public comments and con- siders whether discharges from

this project would cause a mea- surable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest accord- ing to Tier II antidegradation re- quirements under WAC 173-201A-320.Comments can be submitted to:Department of EcologyAttn: Water Quality Program, Construction StormwaterP.O.

Christina Berry

Chistina Anne Berry (Christina Glenn- Arabian) Born in Fowler, CA. on August 17, 1918, to Isaac and Sarah Glenn. She was the second of seven children. She passed in Bellevue, WA on March 10, 2013.

Chris proved our human-will can overcome most any obstacle. Born with a serious spinal deformity, a hunchback, she was thought to be handicapped. But she

never considered herself handicapped, and proved time and again to be more vigorous and alive than many people with perfect, straight backs.

Her mother forbid her to marry. But Chris rented a mailbox so she could receive love-letters from her future husband, a young man from Maine, Roland Edward Berry. She married and moved from Fresno to chilly Boston. They raised two sons, James and Charles, settling in Escanaba, Michigan. Dr. Berry was a pathologist and ran the laboratory at St. Francis Hospital. Chris was an avid reader, a lifetime learner of languages, politics, music and history. Chris was an active volunteer with the Community Concert Association, the Housing Commission and various civic organizations, and enjoyed traveling, music and the �ne arts. Chris moved to Bellevue, Washington in 2000.

Those who knew her during the past twelve years will remember her relentless long �ngers tending her garden. No weed or single blade of grass survived more than a few days in her garden. She also volunteered at the Bellevue Senior Center, taking lunch tickets and running the gift-wrap table at Christmas. In pain almost every day of her life, she rarely complained about it. Most of her many friends and acquaintances never knew her daily su�ering, because she always greeted them with a warm smile, cheerfulness and optimism.

She is survived by her son Charles, her grandchildren, Sara of New Hampshire, Michael of New Jersey and Russell of Washington, and her dear friend Pat Berry, and her sisters Blossom, Pearl and Donna. In lieu of �owers, her family requests donations to:
