“I’d never even heard about bladder cancer be-fore,” Farrar said. “I was a smoker, and I guess that is a leading cause.”

Bladder cancer is the sixth-most common can-cer, and there are 75,000 new cases each year, with

15,000 related deaths annually.

Kaisho, the izakaya restaurant in Bellevue Square, closed May 1 a� er being open just � ve months. Not from lack of success, says Je� rey Lunak, but a need for a “culinary incubator” for Madison Holdings’ other thriving ventures.

Madison Holdings is the restaurant com-pany behind Boom Noodles and Blue C Sushi, the latter rapidly growing in California, with a recent opening in Hollywood and more to follow in San Francisco, Newport Beach and Tarzana.

Lunak, culinary vice president of Madison Holdings, said Kaisho — located next to Blue C in Bellevue Square — o� ered a lot of extra space that the company will need for a test kitchen to develop menu items and event space.

“I think this is going to be kind of the mother ship for everything we do,” Lunak said, adding closure isn’t the end for Kaisho. “It’s really just reassessing what we have space for. I don’t see Kaisho being done with. I just see this chapter being done.”

Kaisho’s interior renovations will remain the same, he said. A larger, rarely used upstairs space may lend itself to catering events. Lunak

said one frustration for Kaisho was having so many large companies wanting to host events there, but being limited in space.

“We’d be more than receptive to the idea of even doing a complete dinner right there,” he said.

Council approves settlements for Northeast Fourth extension

SEE SETTLEMENT, 4

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue city councilmembers ap-proved settlements Monday with Best Buy and Bellevue 116th Avenue, LLC — three weeks a� er putting their � nal o� ers on the table to buy up property for extending Northeast Fourth Street.

� e city has been involved in lengthy litigation over the properties, owned by the limited liability company and Best Buy, that are part of the � rst two phases of the Northeast Fourth Street exten-sion between 116th and 120th avenues northeast.

Councilmembers expressed frustra-tion with the property owners during their April 14 session, stating they were

tired of being pressed for more money to obtain the properties. � ey put their � nal o� ers on the table that night for $12.84 million and $6.2 million for the Best Buy and LLC properties, respec-tively, with Monday being the deadline to accept. � ose � gures remained unchanged over the past three weeks.

� e settlement agreement with Best Buy, which is the tenant on the proper-try, requires adjacent Home Depot to withdraw its own appeals regarding the condemnation of a portion of a parking lot both businesses share for the exten-sion project.

� e city already has granted Best Buy conditional approval to remodel its

storefront to make way for the ongoing Northeast Fourth Street extension project and to recover lost retail and parking space.

Best Buy will demolish 11,021 square feet of retail space on the south side of its Bellevue store and add 9,964 square feet to its north side. �e store will also add a single-story parking garage on its east side to accommodate up to 226 vehicles.

On top of the $6.2 million the city will pay Bellevue 116th Avenue LLC, for which Corporation Service Company of Tumwater is the registered agent, that settlement agree-ment includes rezoning the parcels to com-mercial business. �is will allow the Target

Corporation to construct a 160,000-square-foot retail store on the remaining portion of the property that is not a�ected by the street extension. �is includes amending the city’s land use code to allow Target to exceed the 100,000-square-foot limitation in the Wilburton subarea and increases the allowed building height to 75 feet west of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe right of way. �e settlement states this is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan following completion of the extension.

Target proposes 146,648 square feet of the building will be used for its store, with another 15,000 square feet to be used for street-level retail space, according to a weekly permits bulletin released in April. �e design includes a 500-stall parking garage.

Bellevue City Council is poised to adopt an economic development strategic plan that includes working to draw in more next gen tech companies, promoting citywide as-sets and strengthening its focus on tourism following a Monday review.

Sta� and consultants working on the dra� economic plan updated the council on its progress, seeking any changes ahead of future adoption. Much of the plan focuses on taking advantage of high tech �rms

already in Bellevue, strengthening their ac-cess to high-speed broadband connectivity, increasing workforce housing and a greater higher education presence.

�e city should focus on startup tech �rms, as well as midsized �rms, said Brian Murphy, principal at BERK and Associates, with higher education geared toward gener-ating more startups and providing existing tech �rms with quality talent. Capitalizing on Bellevue being a part of the “Paci�c Rim,” it will also be important for the city to strengthen its international relations and outreach with foreign investors, he said. �e

possibility of Bellevue acting as a consulate was brie�y mentioned. Overseas recruit-ment of businesses and talent would likely require dedicated sta�ng, Murphy said.

�ere will also need to be more cost assumed to increase the city’s economic de-velopment marketing campaign to support the strategic plan, which will include link-ing investors to investment opportunities in Bellevue. One facet of this will be leveraging the East Link light rail service — coming in 2023 — as an asset and addressing other transportation challenges.

“�is was the number one comment

from stakeholders we’ve spoken with; focus on transportation,” said Natasha Fedo with BERK. “You will solve a lot of economic development challenges for Bellevue.”

Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace said he wanted to hear about a greater focus on highways running through the city, consid-ering increased travel that is estimated to occur on them as the population continues to grow.

departments, Fedo said newer proposals include increasing the city’s abil-ity to work directly with businesses, streamlining permitting and inspection processes and seeking out attractive business districts outside of downtown. �e Wilburton area is being strongly favored for this, as is workforce housing in the redeveloping Bel-Red corridor.

To take the economic development strategic

plan to this “next level” of implementation will require a Budget One proposal for funding.

Mayor Claudia Balducci re�ected on her trip to New York City with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce’s intercity study mission in her comments, and the business stance of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“Boy, the business com-munity liked Mayor Bloom-berg,” she said, adding what she learned from her trip is the importance of focus-ing on a few objectives at a time. “Our instinct is to add and add. I really like the

idea of narrowing.”Making good invest-

ments for the city is important, she said, but so is demanding data that

points to a return on those investments.

Carpenter, spokesman for the WSLCB.�e lottery was necessary in many parts of the

state to address the more than 2,000 retail applica-tions to the liquor board, when only 334 licenses are allowed statewide. More than 50 applications were �led for pot stores in Bellevue.

Candidates for licensure were already put through a prescreening process, he said, and now will face a �nancial investigation, background check and �nal inspection of their properties where the stores are proposed to operate. Licenses are expected to be issued by the �rst week of July and in 10-20 batches within major population areas.

“�ere’s still quite a bit le�,” Carpenter said. “If someone doesn’t make it through the licensing process, we just go on to the next one.”

�e city has put in place an interim zoning ordinance, which conforms with the state and allows retail in 13 di�erent zones. Growing and processing may only occur within light industrial zones, and is not limited by a �nite amount of licenses.

�e liquor control board also has dra�ed rules that would prevent any such business from open-ing within 1,000 feet of a school, park, transit hub, child care center, playground, library, arcade cen-ter and collective gardens, which the city likewise adopted in its interim ordinance.

LOTTERYCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1Council takes comments on shoreline plan

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

More than 40 Eastside residents struggled with their allotted time to com-ment Monday on the land use code and comprehensive plan changes they want to see made to improve the city of Bel-levue’s dra� shoreline master program.

�e city continues to work on its shoreline master plan, which soon will be sent to the Washington Department of Ecology for review and potential ap-proval, but a number of residents with waterfront property stated Monday they want to make sure it guarantees environ-mental protections for shorelines ahead of future development and redevelop-ment.

One resident on West Lake Sam-mamish Parkway argued waves have become higher on Lake Sammamish, and bulkheads continue to be necessary to protect waterfront properties and docks. Bulkheads — vertical concrete barriers along shorelines — will not be allowed

to be replaced under the shoreline plan, which instead favors a rocky slope, un-less they are determined to be the only feasible option.

Members of the group, Save Lake Sammamish, expressed concerns about adjusting setbacks to 25 feet rather than the current 53-foot setback, which they said would result in a loss of trees and shrubs. �ey added the program being considered does not provide enough protections for native vegetation, al-lowing lawns to make up vegetative restoration. Issaquah and Sammamish have completed their shoreline master programs, with setbacks at 35 feet and 50 feet, respectively. Save Lake Sammamish representatives said Bellevue should keep its setback to avoid clashing with those other communities’ programs.

Attorney Rick Aramburu, legal counsel for SLS, told Bellevue councilmembers the city’s dra� master program includes “legal defects” that include no cumulative mea-surement for what constitutes “no net loss,” as required by the ecology department.

Aaron Dichter with the Meydenbauer Bay Neighbors Association spoke to the city’s plans for a Meydenbauer Bay Park, advocating the group’s position that de-velopment in the area be limited to what was approved in the park’s master plan.

Laurie Lyford, president of the Wash-ington Sensible Shorelines Associa-tion, voiced the group’s support of the shoreline master program, understand-ing that some compromise would be necessary on both sides of the issue — the city’s and waterfront residents. She added the greenscape element will be key for the SMP’s success. WSSA board member Marty Nizlek commended the city for its hiring of Dick Settle, an attorney specializing in environmental and land use law with Foster Pepper PLLC, to assist in preparing the SMP for ecology review.

Mayor Claudia Balducci said this was one of two public hearings that will take place, and Monday’s hearing was planned early in the process to address the issues brought forth by the community. She said this is her 11th year on the council and she has seen how large-scale plans like these play out.

“I have never, and I mean never, seen something come to us in this amount of detail that doesn’t change at least some-what,” she said. “… We’re going to engage with these issues, and I don’t know where it’s going to go, but we’re going to have some discussion. �ere will probably be some changes. We want a balanced plan at the end.”

Metro Transit recently proposed cutting service to the busiest bus stop on the Bellevue College

campus as a result of the April 22 voter decision to reject a proposition address-ing transit budget shortfalls. BC students tell me this will adversely a� ect their

ability to get to class. � e cut a� ects our col-lege directly, and I also worry about our rapidly growing region, reliant upon the services com-munity colleges such as BC provide. Without readily available transit, many students face one more barrier to higher education — a barrier

that may prove to be the � nal straw for some.

Nearly one in three Bellevue College students rely on transit to get to and from campus; transit as a commute share has grown 9 percent in the last three years. Moreover, one in four of our students has no regular access to a car, and could be described as “transit-dependent.”

Changes to transit on the BC campus

include re-routing MT bus 271 — which carries the largest ridership on our cam-pus with over 900 rides daily — to stop on 148th Ave. SE. Stopping on busy 148th will delay bus riders and personal vehicles and lose fare-paying riders. � is reroute will put some of our most vulnerable, evening and disabled students at risk as they face a half-mile walk to the new bus stop. Also, many students work multiple jobs and without frequent and reliable

Billy Frank Jr. did what most politicians � nd unimagi-nable: He cussed in public and was bracingly partial to telling the truth. Frank, the seminal Indian leader who

went from 1960s � sh-in sco� aw to salmon-saving prophet, died Monday. He was 83.

� e stampede of one-upping praise is well deserved, but belies the great unspoken, that Frank was an iconoclast with only a handful of non-tribal allies when he started out.

“Billy was a true statesman who brought an optimistic, can-do approach to environmental and natural resource challenges,” said Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

History comes full circle. It was one of Ferguson’s predecessors, Slade Gorton, who fought against the culmination of

Frank’s early activism, the 1974 Boldt decision. � e Boldt narrative traces to the � rst tribal � sh-ins in 1964

to protest the violation of indigenous treaty rights, to a 1970 Nixon Justice Department lawsuit against the state of Wash-ington, to the Feb. 12, 1974, ruling that rea� rmed the federal treaties of 1854 and 1855. Tribal members, Judge George Boldt ruled, have the right to � sh in their “usual and accustomed” places, with half of the annual catch going to treaty tribes.

Politicians demagogued, giving in to code-word racism. Frank lived to mark the 40th anniversary of the Boldt deci-

sion in February as well as witness the passage this year of HB 2080, a bill that vacates the convictions of tribal activists who participated in � sh-ins up to 1975. Frank bent history, even shaping our political vocabulary. As the longtime chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, he conceived the idea of a government-to-government framework, something we take for granted.

Frank also was a joy. “� e best rebels are those who are happy,” journalist Mark

Trahant writes of his friend. “� ey know they are right and convince others with their light, rather than just being an ob-stacle. � ey smile as they � ght. Urging you to join along. � ey win you over.”— � e Herald, of Everett, WA

Shoulders are rather indispensable. And it’s amazing the things you can do with them when they don’t hurt all the time. If you’ve put part of your life on hold because of shoulder pain, then come to a free seminar at Swedish — the place that does hundreds of shoulder surgeries every year.

An expert surgeon will answer all your questions about shoulder replacement, non-surgical options, and other sport-related injuries. So take the plunge. Our seminars take just two hours, and the rest of your active life is waiting.

service, I fear they may be forced to make hard choices between jobs and education.

Investing in transit service is investing in our future. College students are tomorrow’s skilled work-force and as King County grows we must continue to create opportunities for people to receive a quality education. Most students of Washington’s community and technical colleges are within �ve-, 10- or 15-min-ute travel zones, making transit a cost e�ective way to get to campus as well as

freeing up roads for com-mercial purposes.

Transit fundamentally improves access to higher education. King County’s community colleges rely on transit to get students to school. Our colleges do not stand alone; we rely on our communities and we rely on transit. Without it, we cannot serve students nor meet our region’s workforce needs.

I encourage every citizen to participate in upcoming public hearings on Metro’s proposals and join a vigor-ous debate that can air all sides of this serious issue.

Pay the priceWith gas prices at $3.75 a

gallon, the cost of �lling up a tank of gas ranges from $63.75 for a Toyota Corolla (gas tank capacity 17 gal-lons) to $116.25 for a Chevy Suburban (tank capacity of 31 gallons).

But a majority of King County voters were unwill-ing to pay $60 once a year to fund public transportation and �x roads. I guess they'd rather sit in heavy tra�c, breathe �lthy air and ignore the plight of the many people who will now have trouble getting to work and school.

Davis moves from ensemble to center stageBY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

For � ve years, actress Sarah Rose Davis of Bellevue has worked in the background as an ensemble performer, helping to � ll out the grand spectacle of shows like “Spamalot,” “� e Pirates of Penzance” and “Damn Yankees.”

“A lot of time the audience doesn’t real-ize the ensemble (cast) is rushing around behind the scenes to get ready for their next appearance,” Davis, 25, said. “A lot of times, an ensemble member is playing two or three or more characters, with costume changes for each one.

“Or it could be the opposite and you have a lot of downtime, but then you need to know exactly when your scene is hap-pening and be out on stage at just the right time.”

Davis will debut in her � rst professional leading role May 15 when she appears as Fanny Brice in Village � eatre’s produc-tion of “Funny Girl.” � e musical is loosely based on the life of the vaudevillian singer and actress, focusing on her early fame and romance with Nick Arnstein, a profes-sional gambler and white collar criminal. � e show’s depiction of Brice provided a young Barbra Streisand with her breakout role: it’s overnight stage success rocketed her into the public eye, and Streisand’s turn in the 1968 � lm adaptation earned her the

Academy Award for Best Actress.� ough “Funny Girl” is a mostly � ction-

alized retelling of Brice’s life, Davis said she found it useful to study the woman for her own sense of the character. In real life and in the show Brice was a woman who fought her way to fame with an irrepress-ible passion for song and performance.

“She pretty much won’t take no for an answer,” Davis said. “She’s driven, she’s � amboyant and she likes to get into people’s faces until she gets her way, but not in an obnoxious way.”

In this sense Davis is a kindred spirit: a young actress who’s done little else than perform from an early age.

Davis caught the bug for singing at age 7. She wasn’t the � rst performer in her family — her uncles loved to sing as well — but her interest escalated beyond the level of hobby quickly. At the age of 14, she sang “It’s Raining Men” for the short-lived com-petition series “America’s Most Talented Kid,” a performance that ultimately went untelevised.

She performed frequently with Village’s KidStage as she added acting to her reper-toire, and became a drama kid at Newport High School. By her junior year, Davis knew she wanted to make a go at acting professionally and dropped every other extracurricular but so� ball.

Davis was eventually accepted into the prestigious Boston Conservatory, where she picked up dancing — a bit later than most, she said — and completed her BFA in theater. During college she began travel-ing to New York City for work in concerts and readings of new musicals. Davis made a go at living in the Big Apple for � ve months before returning to Seattle.

“When you’re living in New York, you constantly have to travel just outside the city because the work is outside of New York most of the time,” she said. “Here

it’s di� erent because the theater companies work on seasons … you � nd out well in advance if you have a part. I found out I got this part last summer, so it was nice be-cause I knew exactly what I would be doing a year from then.”

Davis was a perennial ensemble player in 5th Avenue and Village productions, and gained her � rst professional main cast role as Faith in the 2013 Village original “Trails.” But “Funny Girl” will be her most

demanding role yet.“Overwhelming is de� nitely the right

word,” Davis said two weeks out from opening night. “It’s not overwhelming yet because we haven’t added sets and costumes to rehearsal. � at’s when it will become overwhelming, because I’ll have to add in all the costume changes… and I’m in almost every scene of the show. I have one costume change in 15 seconds.

“� e fact is, I don’t get to go to the dress-ing room at any point. I’ll be just o� -stage, changing into my next out� t.”

BY BRIAN MILLERSEATTLE WEEKLY

If his buddy James Franco can star in a current Broadway revival of “Of Mice and Men,” is it possible for Seth Rogen to elevate his pro� le beyond that of schlubby stoner? He lost weight for “� e Green Hornet” and audiences responded with a collective shrug.

� is fun but formulaic comedy pits Ro-gen against Zac Efron, the former as a mar-ried new father and the latter playing the rival patriarch of a rowdy frat house next door. � e con� ict writes itself — “We’ve got to get Delti Psi put on probation, so our baby can sleep at night!” — and you really do feel these two likeable stars could do more. If not Steinbeck, then something that moves them against type.

Efron, once the Disney idol, is certainly capable of undermining his image (and embracing it, in several shirtless scenes). When Rogen and wife (Rose Byrne) trick him into a � ght with a loyal frat bro (Dave Franco), pushing and shoving give way to the dreaded mutual testicle grab. Efron stares at his foe and declares, with berserk conviction, “I’ll hold onto your balls forever!” He’s committed to playing

the handsome dunce and wading in the warm-hearted raunch that’s the hallmark of Apatow-land (the � lm is directed by Nicho-las Stoller, of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”).

Rogen is a veteran of that milieu, again inhabiting the familiar role of the sham-bling, genial dude who doesn’t want to be an adult. When he and the wife get into a � ght, they debate who ought to be the “Kevin James” — i.e. the irresponsible partner — in their marriage. But, really, the term they ought to be using is “Seth Rogen.” And that’s the problem with this movie’s ambition: It simply lets Rogen be Rogen.

Opens today, May 9, at Lincoln Square Cin-emas and wide release. Rated R. 96 Minutes.

107-year-old woman bridges 3 oceans, 5 generationsBY DAN AZNOFFSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

� e year 1907 was memorable in England. � e Women’s Su� rage movement took root, the � rst taxi cabs began to operate in London and New Zealand and Newfound-land both became dominions of the English crown.

It was also when Bellevue resident Sylvia Wells-Henderson was born in the township of Great Yarmouth while her mother was in England on a trip to trace her ancestral roots. � e unexpected early arrival gave the baby dual citizenship from the moment of her birth.

Wells-Henderson’s 100th birthday was acknowledged seven years ago with notes of congratulations from both the President of the United States and the Queen of England.

“My mother was an American raised in Seattle, but has always been especially proud of her roots in the U.K.,” said her son Ron Wells-Henderson.

Sylvia’s latest birthday was celebrated with a modest party with friends and relatives at the Sunshine Park adult family home where she currently lives in the Kelsey Creek neighborhood of Bellevue. � e guest list included a number of her former caregivers.

Jainaba Drammeh operates the adult fam-ily home where Wells-Henderson has lived for the past two years. Drammeh admits that some days are better than others for her oldest resident, but that Sylvia maintains her zeal for life by continuing to read.

“She may not be as talkative as she once was, but we know she is the most happy when she is just sitting in a chair with a book,” said Drammeh.

Sylvia’s father, the Rev. Herbert H. Gowen, accepted a position with the University of Washington in 1909 to start what would eventually become the Jackson School of International Studies. A building on the campus quad was named in his honor.

� e Gowen home on 22nd Avenue Northeast is now the Chambered Nauti-lus. Sylvia rode horses at Fort Lawton as a teenager and attended Roosevelt High School before enrolling at the University of Washington, where she served as captain of the debate team. She began her career as an English teacher in Oregon, but moved closer to home to accept a similar position with the Bush School in Seattle.

She married William Noel Wells-Hender-son in 1932 and later followed him to live in the Chinese city of Shanghai. � e couple

escaped the Far East on what Sylvia told her son was the last ship to leave for the United States before the start of World War II.

� e younger Wells-Henderson said his mother returned to Shanghai brie� y a� er the war, but was forced come home to Se-attle with tuberculosis and spent more than two years at Riverton Hospital recovering from the illness.

In addition to her battle with tuberculosis, Ron said his mother has survived malaria, numerous broken bones from falling o� a

horse, cataracts and two hip replacements. “My mom is proof that tough ladies can

survive anything medical that gets in their way.”

Whether you are building a new home, or want to refresh your existing home, choosing a contemporary style creates high-class curb appeal.

But, what goes into contemporary home styling?

Among the various ways architects and interior designers describe “contemporary,” two words come up again and again: “simple” and “sophisticated.”

For example, interior decorator Coral Na� e describes it as, “fundamentally, simplicity, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines help to de� ne contemporary style decorating. Interiors showcase space rather than things. By focusing on color, space, and shape, contemporary interiors are sleek and fresh.”

“Less is more: smooth pro� les instead of ornamentation,” adds decorator Lisa Frederick.

As seen from the outside, the National Association of Realtors notes contemporary homes feature these design elements:

• Irregular, asymmetrical façade

• Strong, geometric shapes

• Distinctive roofl ine - sometimes fl at, other times gabled -usually with a wide eave overhang

• Natural, often local, building materials

Your home might be a crisp marvel of modern architecture, a mid-century rambler or some other style. In any case, a simple way to create contemporary curb appeal is with a sophisticated front entry, starting at the door.

“Traditional front doors, as in Colonial homes, had a lot of decorative features,” says Brad Loveless, marketing and product development manager for Simpson Door Company. “Picture molding, raised panels, dentil shelves and elaborate knobs, knockers and hinges. Today, many homeowners, particularly those on the upper end, look for entry doors that are much more clean and crisp. Contemporary door styles have straight lines, fl at panels and simple geometric shapes like squares, diamonds and rectangles.”

In keeping with the contemporary theme of using natural materials, wood and glass are popular in entry doors. You can select from dozens of readily available wood species and some manufacturers will make a door out of any species you choose. Glass options range from simple, clear glass, to textures that balance light and privacy.

She told me I was nuts for selling Japanese Red Maples for only $4.97, but I told her, “It’s my nursery. Just think of it as my gift to children who need an affordable gift for their mamas.”

I’m going to run through the list of the plants that I have for $4.97, so grab a red or blue pen so you can circle the things that you are interested in. 

Let’s start with the Japanese Red Maples. These are 2 to 3 feet tall, with sturdy trunks and brand new fancy red leaves. (I wonder where else you are going to find Japanese Red Maples for $4.97.) We have lots of trees for $4.97. Pink Dogwoods, Eastern Redbuds, Paperbark Birch, and Vine Maples. These guys are all tough as nails, and just the right size for a small yard. If you’re looking for something bigger, we’ve got Curly Willow. That’s the one they sell for $1 a branch at the Flower and Garden Show. Really? Mama thinks I’m crazy for selling the entire tree for only $4.97. Shrubs? We’ve got shrubs. Your mom will love Miss Kim Lilac! The Doublefile Viburnum is starting to bloom. Look for these as you come down the driveway – you’ll know which ones I mean. The Nugget Ninebark is just as gold as gold can be and really pops when planted next to it’s cousin Diabolo Ninebark - or Helmond Pillar Barberry that holds it’s own against dogs and kids with bicycles.

We’ve got some pretty cool grasses - Orange Sedge, Ice Dance Grass, and Blue Fescue. Mom won’t ask you to mow these grasses.

Remember, all these plants are $4.97 each.

Looking for something for shade? We’re all over it with Hostas. I don’t even know how many different varieties we have. Some are green and white, some are green and gold, there’s some blue, some that are a couple different colors of green, and some are just plain green. We are bound to have a color combination that your mother will love.

If Mom’s yard has serious shade but she still wants flowers, you’re good to go with Pink Astilbe. These little guys are so happy in the shade that I think they’d bloom in her front hall closet.

Does Mama need groundcovers? We’re all over it. Golden Creeping Jenny, Bearberry Cotoneaster, Sweet Woodruff, White Diamond and Dragon’s Blood Sedum. The Mahogany Bugleweed and Lithodora are in bloom right now. Emerald Gaiety Euonymus looks terrific with the deep burgundy of Coral Bells.

Maybe Mom will like to grow her own fresh herbs this summer to season Sunday dinner. We have Golden Oregano, Rosemary, and Lemon Thyme. We also have Lavender that Grandma can use to make potpourri.

If your mother’s yard has lots of sunshine, we’ve got flowers for her all summer long. The Candytuft is blooming right now, and Jethro Tull Coreopsis looks like it should have flowers starting next week. We have a couple different kinds of Daylilies. The Siberian Irises should start blooming next week also. It’s gonna be pretty showy around here. Let’s give your mom her own show!

You’re circling what you want, right? 

We also have Gold Mound and Neon Flash Spirea, Mexican Orange Blossom, Dwarf Arctic Willow, Snowmound, and Pink Queen Potentillas.

Speaking of pink, we have pink dogwoods for only $4.97. If you really want to show mom how special she is, we have a rare dogwood called ‘Radiant Rose’ that has flowers so pink, Mama will think she’s died and gone to heaven when she sees it in bloom. I checked on the Internet and couldn’t find ‘Rose’ for much less than eighty bucks. That is way too much. I want to sell them for $49.97. This may sound pricy but isn’t your mother worth it?

We have other fancy dogwoods starting at $9.97. We have some with green and white leaves, gold and white leaves that take on a rosy blush later in the summer, and we even have one with red flowers. Come autumn, their leaves all look spectacular and they have little red berries that birds just love.

We also have bargains on Japanese Weeping Maples for only $19.97. They aren’t perfect but with a little mother’s love they can be by next year.

Mama will go gaga over the ‘Rising Sun’ redbud, a new introduction that slowly grows to about 10 feet. Pink flowers on the trunk and branches in spring. Then, leaves in shades of gold, apricot, and green in summer. All this for $39.97. Does Mom have a fence in need of a vine? We’ve got those too. I’ll bet she’d like a fragrant jasmine - or maybe some clematis with big bright flowers. They’re all $14.97.

If your mom loves magnolias, we have lots to choose from. Judy Zuk and Butterflies magnolias have yellow flowers, Royal Star magnolias have white flowers, Jane magnolias are pinky-purple on the outside and white on the inside, and Vulcan magnolias steal the show with their deep red blossoms.

I’ll bet your mama loves peonies. Who doesn’t? We have peonies that are 3 feet tall, and loaded with buds just ready to explode. In a week or so there’ll be enough cut flowers to fill all of her vases.

Mom, bring your kids and show them what you want for Mother’s Day. Kids, bring your mama and make her feel like a kid in a candy store. At $4.97 everyone will be happy – except maybe my mama who still thinks I’m crazy.

Come see us – we’re The Daily Plant-It and we sell beautiful plants at affordable prices. We’re open FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY May 9, 10, and 11 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.) There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $4.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants.

We’re open every weekend this spring, but it’s first come, first served, and some of these little beauties will go fast.

My Mama Said I Was Crazy......when I told her I’m selling thousands of plants this Mother’s Day for only $4.97.

HOME AND GARDEN IMPROVEMENT

With the thousands of permutations and combinations available in contemporary door designs, it can be dif� cult knowing where to start. Easy-to-use online tools provide a way to quickly compare options and to personalize your door to your unique tastes.

For example, Simpson’s website features “DOORmagination” tools that include a “Test Drive Your Door” tool that lets you upload a photo of your home and see how various doors will look on it. Other design tools include a wood species selector allowing you to see doors in more than 20 wood types, and a “Glass Taste Test” to see how much privacy different glass textures provide.

To complete the look of your contemporary door, it is important to consider hardware. On today’s front doors, the hardware is usually understated - simple handle and locksets in satin metal � nishes are popular - no lion’s head door knockers. Your local door dealer or hardware store can show you dozens of options. As a � nal inspiration, remember that simple does not need to mean boring or cold. As Lisa Frederick sums up contemporary styling, “While it doesn’t have

the overt warmth of older design styles, it won’t cast a chill either.” Architect John Hill’s take is, “contemporary architecture is of its time, therefore innovative and forward-looking.” ~ BrandPoint

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

For Interlake seniors Nestor Quijada and Austin Brad-ford, the 2014 season could not come soon enough.

A� er � nishing 2013 without a state playo� berth for the � rst time in several years, Quijada and Bradford knew they wanted a more � tting ending to their prep careers.

“I was devastated,” Quijada said. “We le� with a bad taste in our mouths,” Bradford added.

But with a renewed sense of commitment led by an unsel� sh group of seniors, Interlake is back in the mix for a state tournament spot in 2014.

Coach Dan Peterson’s Saints � nished the regular season with a 2-1 loss to Juanita on May 6, a� er winning six of their previous eight games.

Eight di� erent players have scored two or more goals, led by eight from junior Jose Castillo and seven from Jason Rodriguez.

“Our center mid� elders have done a good job winning the ball, and we have good team speed, so our forwards get ahead,” Peterson said. “It starts with winning the ball, and we attack quickly from there.”

Peterson said around a half dozen of his players have played together throughout their high school careers and beyond, helping form a nucleus less concerned about indi-vidual statistics than getting back to the state tournament in Class 3A.

Quijada and Bradford said that focus began as soon as

last season ended. “I just wanted to get the team bonding,” he said. “We

trust each other now.”While the o� ense has used contributions from a host of

players, the defense has relied on the experience of Quijada and Bradford, as well as a pair of standout goalies in Sam Dawson and Forest Gobble.

Dawson has four shutouts on the year in goal, and Gobble has added � ve more.

� ree teams remain in contention for the top spot from KingCo to the boys Division I lacrosse state tournament, with rivals Bellevue and Mercer Island set to help decide the regular season champion 8 p.m. Friday.

� e Islanders are a perfect 9-0-0 in conference play headed into the game, and passed their sti� est test of the season with a 10-9 win over Issaquah May 2.

� at victory put them in the diver’s seat for the top seed to the postseason and � rst round bye, and Mercer Island can lock up those accomplishments with a win over the Wolverines.

Bellevue is 9-1-0 and tied with Issaquah entering its � nal two games, a� er falling to the Eagles on April 25.

Two more wins, coupled with a loss by the Eagles against either Skyline or Roosevelt, would give the Wolverines another outright conference championship.

Bellevue has won three straight since falling to Issaquah, and beat Ballard 17-1 in its � nal tuneup for the rivalry showdown with the Islanders.

Mercer Island’s only loss came in an out-of-state game, and they enter the game scoring 14 goals per game in their last four contests since the setback.

By contrast, no team has scored more than nine goals against the Wolverines in a game this season.

Wolverines, Islanders set for grudge match

Bellevue is home to the champions of 2A/3A KingCo girls golf, a� er Lau-ren Patrick � red a career best 39 at Overlake Golf Course to earn medalist honors in the � nal match of the season, and lead her team to a 226-237 win over Mercer Island.

Head coach Tori Marcum said her team was well aware of the chance to

capture a regular season crown and break the Island-ers’ streak before the match began.

“� e really big focus of the day was, one shot at a time,” she said. “Going into the day, we just wanted to have fun.”

Few outcomes could have been more fun for Bellevue and its four seniors than handing rival Mercer Island its � rst KingCo loss since 2007, and Marcum said the � nal moments were tense as scores rolled in.

“It was really down to the last girl coming in to decide who was going to win,” she said, adding the scores were tallied three times by both coaches. “It was a celebra-tion all around.”

Bellevue carded three of the four lowest scores on the day at its home course, as Ti� any Huang and Alexis Choi each shot 43 to back the e� ort of Patrick.

� e match also gave

four Wolverines a marquee win in their � nal match, as seniors Rachel Harmeyer, Delaney Harris, Kendyl Dowen, and Patrick � n-ished their KingCo careers.

“As scores started to come in, you could see it on the girls’ faces how excited they were,” Marcum said. “We have a really deep team this year.”

Rachel Fuji � nished the day with a 39 to match the low score of the day, but no other Mercer Island player shot better than 47.

� e team score of 226 was the second best for Bel-levue on the year, and sends them to the KingCo Medal-ist Tournament riding a wave of momentum.

� e top six players from each squad will be at Snohomish Golf Course Monday, May 12, with the top 18 claiming a spot in the district tournament the following week.

All season, Bellevue baseball coach Pete Wilkinson has talked about his team’s dedi-cation to executing the details, even in the face of pressure packed situations.

Monday, in the � nale for a quartet of seniors and with a second straight regular season championship on the line, his Wol-verines delivered yet again.

Isaac Lee knocked in a pair of runs and scored another, and Nick Kafer worked six innings on the mound as Bellevue beat Mercer Island 5-4 to claim the regular season 3A KingCo baseball crown.

Kafer added a double and RBI at the plate, while Rob Lundquist and Jack Savard also delivered doubles in the win.

In his six innings of work, the Wolver-ines’ starter allowed three runs on four hits, striking out four.

Ruric Ellings gave up a pair of hits and one run in the seventh, but quelled the � nal Islander threat to preserve the win and conference championship.

Mercer Island, which beat Bellevue 9-0 in the other game between the two conference

frontrunners this season, committed four errors in the game, and was held scoreless for four innings a� er jumping on top with a run in the top half of the � rst.

� e win sends the Wolverines to the KingCo tournament with the top seed, and a � rst round bye.

Bellevue opens the tournament Saturday at 1 p.m. at Bannerwood Park against the winner of a loser-out game, and with a tournament title game spot on the line.

these folks, so people go back to a variety of di� er-ent deeds and variances that have been made over the years,” said attorney Rick Aramburu, who is representing the 74 resi-dents in the lawsuit.

PSE has until later this month to � le an answer to the complaint, stating its case for why it should be allowed to complete its Energize Eastside project there. Andy Wappler, PSE vice president of corporate a� airs, said the energy company isn’t commenting with speci� cs to the litiga-tion, but reiterated that route is one of two being considered, and PSE has not made a � nal decision.

� e energy company is using this year to focus on public outreach and input

that is to be used when making its � nal determi-nation, said Wappler, and won’t be seeking construc-tion permits until early 2015.

“If our community advisory group can reach a clear consensus on which routes work best, that’s the way we’ll go,” Wappler said. “… Right now, what we’re looking at with Energize Eastside is potential route segments and everything is still just that. Every route is still on the table and still equal.”

PSE is also facing oppo-sition from the Somerset neighborhood in Bellevue, which opposes its other eastern route being pro-posed for the transmission line project and does not believe the Energize East-side project is being done for the bene� t of Eastside residents.

Bellevue is currently running on a system that was put in place in the 1960s, said Wappler, and the need is real when facing immense job and population growth by 2040. PSE also estimates it could begin seeing capac-

ity issues by 2017.“� e legal questions

don’t really change the basic facts that our com-munity is getting bigger and can’t continue to rely on the same electric infra-structure that it has for the past � ve decades,” Wappler said.

PSE has the power of condemnation, which it can use through � ling its own lawsuit to continue the “L” segment along Lake Washington, Ar-amburu said. � e energy company would need to prove the project is necessary and a bene� cial public use.

“If PSE does decide to condemn and the court allows them to proceed with condemnation, then the property owners would be paid the fair market value of the land, but the point of this litigation is to have them not do it, to not put the power lines in,” Aramburu said.

Wappler said while PSE does have the option for condemnation, “Clearly that’s not a preferred step or the � rst step.”

Ram sweeps young entrepreneurs’ eventBY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER

On May 1, Newport High School junior Amrita Ram walked into the Wilburton Instructional Service Cen-ter with more than a dozen of her col-leagues in the Bellevue chapter of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy. Like everyone else, she was armed with a presentation, a business re� ned over the course of the past school year and a request for a speci� c dollar amount from an investment fund.

Each presenter walked out of the Rainier Room a little richer — and perhaps a little more wary under the hard questioning from a judging panel of local executives — but Ram walked out $3,600 richer.

Ram, 16, was awarded — “Without hesitation,” judge Tanya Fraioli said — � rst place for Fresh Steps, a company working on the development of � oor-ing that can generate supplemental electricity for high tra� c buildings. She received nearly four times her re-

quested capital infusion of $935, which she will use for further development of her signature EcoBoard, she said.

� e board exploits piezoelectricity, a phenomenon for which compres-sion of certain types of materials creates electric discharge.

“I had shoes that lit up whenever I stepped on the � oor and became interested with the technology that enabled [them] to do so,” she said. “A� er that, my father and I began to learn about the technology together. Since then I’ve always been interested in the technology and have continued to experiment with it.”

Ram has built a basic prototype, but she continues to work on obstacles such as e� ective storage of the energy generated and � nding reliably durable and cheap tile materials.

Runners up in the pitch competi-tion were Brute Jute, a company deal-ing in decorative reusable bags made of bamboo and jute, and Dot Cosmet-ics, a company creating a combined lip balm and exfoliant.

� e Young Entrepreneurs Academy is a yearlong class walking students from 6th to 12th grade through the development of a business from plan to launch. It was founded at the University of Rochester and oper-ates nationally through local chapters run by chambers of commerce. � e Bellevue Academy is operated by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce.

PAINTING LEADERSHIP

Creative Children for Charity held its 40 Story’s Mega Event at Microsoft Conference Center Saturday.

The paintings, on display above, will be collected into an upcoming book. COURTESY PHOTO

Many adults are understandably concerned about the increased availability of pot and its e� ect on our kids. However, less is being said about a very real

and alarming youth drug trend: the increased use of amphet-amines.

Commonly known as meth, speed or coke, amphetamines stimulate the central nervous system. For years, TV and movies have portrayed young adults using these drugs to pull all-nighters before exams or to party all night long.

But did you know that growing num-bers of children and teens are abusing legal amphetamines such as Adderall and Ritalin, used widely to treat attention de� cit disorder and attention de� cit hyperactivity disorder?

Clients at YES say they are taking these drugs not necessarily to get high, but o� en simply to get through their day. And what a day it is! Consider a student who gets up at 5 o’ clock in the morning to go to early sports practice, followed by a demanding day at school and a swim meet at a neighboring school.

She crams in some studying in the car a� er her dad picks her up. She eats a late supper and then heads to her room to � nish her term paper and study for a physics exam – all while texting with several friends.

It’s a� er midnight before she collapses into a restless sleep, because she’s thinking about her part-time job, youth sym-phony, church youth group and the family ski trip coming up. It’s no surprise that such a teen resorts to stimulants just to keep her head above water.

“I take what I need to stay awake” is something we o� en hear at YES. Many young people connect their substance use to the growing pressure to succeed. � e expectations placed on youth these days are truly unprecedented.

It’s so important to take stock of your family’s schedule. Is the desire to expose our children to everything life has to o� er compromising their healthy development and ability to cope? I encourage all parents to adopt three rules of thumb:

• Expect less. Involve your kids in an honest discussion about their schedules. Is there anything outside of school-work that doesn’t feel right for them? Is there something they want to give up to create more time in their week?

• Talk more. Share what you have learned about the use of “study drugs,” and be honest about your concerns regard-ing potential harm.

• Lastly, please lock your medicine cabinet. No parent wants to look back and say, “If only …”

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
