LET THERE BE LIGHTS

A visit to the Bellevue Botanical Garden turns into a special treat for visitors � ursday, Nov. 8 as lights for the upcoming Garden D’Lights are being installed by volunteers.

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

For years, Tobey Bryant heard the complaints. No matter which of the many sports – baseball, lacrosse,

soccer – she watched her children compete in around Bellevue, the common refrain from fellow parents and her children’s coaches was the same: the � elds needed help.

� e typically soggy climate reduced the natural grass surfaces to a mess of mud and puddles during most of the year, while in� elds surfaced with amended sand turned to dustbowls throughout the drier summer months. For Bry-ant, the solution seemed obvious.

“What made me put it all together was the complaints in all the sports,” she said. “So we decided to get a group together and try to do something.”

� e result was Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields, a com-munity advocacy group focused on making sure the � elds that surround the newly renovated elementary and middle schools in Bellevue receive a share of the funds and attention given to the facility itself. � e goal is to improve the � elds by eliminating natural grass in favor of a synthetic surface similar to what exists at the high school stadiums and city parks like Robinswood, and then line them for multiple sports so youth and adult leagues can utilize them year-round. More than 14 sports clubs from Bellevue are part of the group, which col-lectively represents more than 7,000 athletes.

A holiday tradition is coming together at the Bellevue Botanical Garden as Bellevue Park Depart-ment personnel and volunteers work to install 500,000 lights that make up the Garden D’Lights display.

The lights transform the garden into a blossoming winter won-derland that attracts more than 150,000 people each December. The display is inspired by plants found in Northwest gardens and gardens around the world.

� e extended route through the garden is enhanced with a � owing river in lights and four waterfalls. � ere’s also a pond and border display on the main lawn.

To make it happen, hundreds of volunteers work to make new

creations along with old favorites. In 2011 Snap d’Dragon joined the list of over 30 “critters” includ-ing Charlotte in her web and Willie the Slug. Also popular is the “Aquarium in Lights” in the Visitor Center with the pulsing jellyfish and the garden’s own octopus.

Garden D’Lights is on view from 5-10 p.m. from Nov. 24 through Dec. 31. Last entry to the exhibit is 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $5 per person; chil-dren age 10 and under free. There also are free nights for everyone from Nov. 26-29 and Dec. 3-6. Money raised helps support the Botanical Garden.

Tickets can be purchased on-line at www.gardendlights.com.

A normal day’s work for Bellevue College employee Deric Gruen involves saving students and sta� money, easing tra� c congestion, curbing pollu-tion and contributing to a cleaner environment.

As the college’s sustain-ability and resource conser-vation manager, he designs programs that encourage the college community to use alternative means of transport – such as transit and carpools – to com-mute to and from campus.

For these e� orts, he has received a 2012 Governor’s Commute Smart Award, which recognizes his leadership and innovation in reducing tra� c in the region.

According to the Wash-ington State Department of Transportation, Gruen “commissioned a parking study at Bellevue College and established a transporta-tion management taskforce of student and employee stakeholders. He led outreach e� orts for RideshareOn-

line.com at the school and developed a program to use parking fees to o� set the ris-ing cost of the school’s transit program for students and employees. Participation in the program soon increased by 30 percent.”

In addition to these e� orts, Gruen’s newest initiative is a proposal to partner with Hopelink to o� er one-on-one commute advising to 4,000 students that will help them access education and save money. In the process, this will reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to campus and contribute to lower green-house gas emissions.

In July, Gruen, a resident of Seattle, was recognized by Commuter Challenge,

an initiative of enterpris-eSeattle, for his strong commute trip reduction e� orts on BC’s campus, which employs more than

1,500 employees and serves 37,000 students annually.

Each year, the Commute Smart Awards recognize communities, businesses, agencies and workplace transportation coordinators for their creative e� orts to promote ridesharing and other alternatives to driving alone, such as bicycling and teleworking. � e awards

highlight the bene� ts of commute trip reduction, a law passed by the state Leg-islature in 1991 that calls on employers to encourage their workers to choose transportation options that reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

Fumi Sakai looks over her daughter, Erika, in the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Overlake Medical Center on Monday, Nov. 12. Erika and her twin, Karen, have been in the center since being born at 31 weeks on Oct. 15. Fumi said she was surprised by how much larger the rooms in the new unit are. The Level III care unit enables the staff to care for tinier and sicker babies, including those born as early as 26 weeks ges-tation. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter

With the old group Health overlake campus in the overlake area slated for re-development, eastside Audubon will hold a plant salvage party saturday, dec. 1.

At the group Health-approved event, volunteers will dig up plants that otherwise would be destroyed to save them for re-planting later in the winter on the Audubon birdLoop at marymoor Park. eastside Audubon has been improving wildlife habitat at the birdLoop since 2006 through monthly work parties.

No expertise is necessary to help with the plant salvage. Participants only need a shovel, work gloves, sturdy shoes, and

clothing layers appropriate for the weather. eastside Audubon project leaders will help identify which plants to remove and explain how to do it. Coffee and snacks will be provided by eastside Audubon.

Work will start at 8 a.m. and continue until noon. The group Health campus is near the intersection of 156th Avenue Northeast and belred road.

To facilitate planning, eastside Audubon asks that volunteers sign up in advance of the event by contacting Tim mcgruder, 425-822-8580 or [email protected]. details about where to meet will be given to volunteers upon sign-up.

IMPORTANT TEETHING ADVICEParents of teething children have been warned against using products containing benzocaine to help relieve the pain that comes with newly erupting � rst teeth. According to a new directive from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, products such as Anbesol, Orajel, Baby Orajel, Orabase, and Hurricane should only be used under the advice and supervision of a health care professional. The reason behind this warning is that children under 2 years old who use benzocaine gels and liquids are at particular risk for a rare but potentially deadly condition called “methemoglobinemia.” This potential consequence of benzocaine, which can occur within minutes of use, causes the amount of oxygen carried through the bloodstream to be greatly reduced. Symptoms of methemoglobinemia include pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, and nail beds; shortness of breath; fatigue; confusion; headache; light-headedness; and rapid heart rate.

The age at which the � rst tooth appears differs greatly from child to child. When was the last time your little one had a comprehensive dental examination? At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we will let you know about new procedures and technologies and what they can do for you. For superior dental care, call 425.641.4111. We’re located in the Forest Of� ce Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

Jack McLeod, the facilities director with the Bellevue School District, said many groups over the years have raised concerns about the quality and availability of the � elds at elementary and middle schools in the district. But he added most o� en the conversation has been isolated to one facility or the usage interests for only one sport. With Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields, the story was entirely di� erent.

“� ere have been several groups and they have been given the opportunity to get in front of the board,” McLeod said. “But the board always asks, ‘What about the other schools?’”

With the growth of both the general population of Bel-levue, which rose 11.4 percent from 2000-2010, and the number of children in the area, 2,800 more during the same time span, � nding time on the � elds that are in play-able shape in inclement weather has become a challenge. But if Bryant and her group continue on the path they have been on, that problem could soon be substantially solved.

Tyee Middle School was out� tted with a pair of newly surfaced synthetic � elds when it was completed in August. � e cost was paid for by surplus funds from the project. It hosted its � rst games two weeks ago to rave reviews and Bryant hopes will be the � rst of what can happen at other city schools.

“Getting families together on a � eld gets people meeting one another,” she said. “� at just builds a better commu-nity.”

� e Tyee success means future projects will include a budgeted amount to improve the � elds, McLeod said.

“We’re putting together a complete package,” McLeod said. “� ere is a lot of instruction that takes place outside,

in terms of physical education and activities that go on a� er the school day.”

Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields does not conduct any fundraising of its own, instead focusing on providing a voice for sports clubs within the city at school board meet-ings and elsewhere in the community. Rather than asking the district to acquire more land, or pull money from the general fund, Bryant said the focus is on improving the existing � elds and ensuring the outdoor classroom remains a vital part of future capital projects.

McLeod noted that by including � eld costs in the same bond projects voted on by Bellevue residents, the district has found another ally to help champion the cause of school facility funding.

“� ey have a really holistic attitude about doing things across the district,” he said. “It increases the stakeholder base.”

Public Health – Seattle & King County is encouraging people to vaccinate now to protect against the � u. � e � u season can begin as early as October.

“Flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from � u,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director and Health O� cer for Public Health – Seattle & King County.

In� uenza can cause signi� cant lost time from work and school, as well as the expense of doctor visits. In some instances, it can also cause hospitalization and even death, health o� cials said.

“We’ve begun to get reports of con� rmed in� uenza in-fections in our community, including our schools,” said Dr. Je� Duchin, Chief, Communicable Disease Epidemiology & Immunization at Public Health – Seattle & King County. “Vaccinate now to protect yourself and your family.”

Health experts recommend everyone six months and older get the � u vaccine, especially people at high-risk for severe in� uenza, including:■ Children 6 months through their � � h birthday■ Pregnant women, to protect both the mother and the

newborn infant■ Adults age 50 years and older■ People with chronic health problems like diabetes,

heart, liver, lung, kidney, and certain neurological diseases, and extreme obesity.■ Household members, care givers, and other close con-

tacts of high-risk people should get vaccinated to prevent them from spreading in� uenza.

� e Bellevue-based Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties has been named a winner in the Seattle Business magazine’s 2012 Green Washington Awards. � e award put the organization in the top 50 out-standing organizations in Washington state.

Winners were selected from a large pool of nominations by a panel of judges from prominent organizations in the region, including the Washington Environmental Council, Climate Solutions, the Bainbridge Graduate Institute and the Washington Clean Technology Alliance.

� e Master Builders Association won � rst place non-pro� t as a company in the building/construction category. It was honored for the work of its Built Green program, which has certi� ed more than 20,000 living units since being founded in 2000. Built Green’s existing certi� ed proj-ects have reduced residential energy. On an annual basis, the program saves an estimated 10.3 million gallons of indoor-use water, reduces stormwater runo� by 30 percent, diverts more than 2,200 tons of construction waste from land� lls to recycling, and reduces energy use by 15 percent or 5.3 million kilowatt hours.

“We are extremely grateful for this recognition of our members’ dedication to environmentally sustainable build-ing practices, which we have been able to elevate through

our collaboration with community partners on e� orts like the zHome project and the Mercer Slough Pond Lily Wet Lab,” said association Executive O� cer Sam Anderson. “� ese projects re� ect our overall commitment to Built Green and our desire to promote responsible environmen-tal practices and quality construction.”

Another Built Green program is the Mercer Slough Pond Lily Wet Lab, which the Master Builders Association built and donated to the city of Bellevue to be used as a classroom at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center in Bellevue. Pond Lily achieved a 5-Star Built Green certi� cation by incorporating many environmentally-friendly features, such as a green roof, a super-insulated envelope and a high-e� ciency radiant heating system.

Some in our state are in a tizzy because vote counting – they say - is taking too long.

It took two days a� er the voting on Nov. 6 to determine that R-74, the marriage equality referen-dum, had passed. And, it wasn’t until Friday, Nov. 9 - that’s three days a� er the election – before we knew that Jay Inslee would be our governor.

Oh, the horror!It’s not as if people’s lives couldn’t move forward as the

vote counting continued. � ey could and they did. And nothing of substance was delayed while the ballots were tallied.

So, what’s the problem?Sure, Rob McKenna and Jay Inslee would like to know

sooner rather than later if they would be moving to the governor’s mansion in Olympia. But government wasn’t brought to its knees while we waited for the answer.

Critics place the blame on the fact that our state allows votes to be counted as long as the ballots were postmarked by election day. Some other states – our neighbor, Oregon, for one – say ballots must be re-ceived by election day.

� at sounds reasonable until you remember that all-mail voting means that most people would likely be forced to vote BEFORE the campaign is over. What hap-pens if something dramatic occurs in the � nal days that would change peoples’ minds about a candidate?

Yes, we know that voters can take their ballots to a drop box on election day, but there’s only a few of them for the entire county. How is that feasible, let alone convenient?

And, yes, most voters mail their ballots before elec-tion day, but that is their choice.

Vote-by-mail has been a plus for our state, increas-ing the voter turnout. � e fact that we may have to wait a few more days to know the outcome of a race or two doesn’t give government the right to in-e� ect disenfranchise some voters.

Voting critics need to take a deep breath. A four-day wait isn’t quite the end of the world.

– Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

I typically lean le� when it comes to politics (right-wing conspiracy theorists feel free to gasp now at the idea of the liberal media).

But there was one issue on the Washington ballot this year I sided with many of my conserva-tive friends.

� e passing of I-502, the bill making it legal for adults over 21 to possess an ounce of marijuana, is just asking for trouble‚ in particular on the road.

� e Centers for Disease Control reports that every day 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. � is amounts to one death every 48 minutes.

I’ve heard marijuana supporters argue marijuana has “never killed anyone.” To that, I call B.S.

If you think it’s safe to get behind the wheel while stoned, well, put down the pipe for a second.

Statistics show reaction time slows signi� cantly for those under the in� uence of weed. Let’s face it, when behind the wheel the ability to react is THE key element to safe driv-ing.

I know that, like alcohol, Washington has laws against driving under the in� uence of marijuana and other drugs. But really how easy is it to detect? First, it o� en requires an o� cer known as “a drug recognition expert” to come to the scene. � en, if he determines the driver is impaired, the violator will likely be arrested and taken for a blood draw to determine the level of THC in their system.

It’s great that there’s a means of enforcement, but it’s far more complicated than someone blowing into a breatha-lyzer.

And that’s what concerns me. With the changed law that kicks in Dec. 6, people will

feel a lot more comfortable using marijuana, which will in turn result in more impaired drivers.

� is idea was recently reinforced by the King County Prosecutor’s O� ce dismissing several cases of marijuana possession. If there are no rami� cations for possessing the drug, why worry about getting behind the wheel a� er smoking a joint?

Whether it’s a scenario as serious as watching for chil-dren in a crosswalk, or something as minor as following an unaware driver going 30 mph down the interstate‚ I see nothing but problems on the horizon.

Let’s also not forget the implications of marijuana be-coming more readily available to those under 21, and the known fact it is a gateway drug to other forms of substance abuse.

When it comes down to it, there is really only one other winner of I-502 besides the stoners‚ convenience stores. I hope the local 7-Eleven stores are stocking up on Funyons and corn dogs.

OVER_7715_ClinicNewsAd_MIR.indd 1 11/5/12 3:45 PM

My Uncle Jim – a world-class practical joker – al-ways cooked up his best stunts for � anksgiv-ing.

One year, when no one was looking, he substituted cinnamon-� avored red-hot candies for the cranberries – and waited to see if anybody noticed. � ey did.

Another time, he slipped caramel syrup into the gravy boat. � at was the year Cousin Bob – a� er pouring the goop onto his mashed potatoes and taking a bite – punched Uncle Jim in the nose.

And then there was the time Uncle Jim thought it would be hilarious to put pillow stu� ng inside the turkey. Unfortunately, the joke fell apart when the stu� ng caught � re in the oven, and

the turkey was incinerated.Uncle Jim passed away some years ago. I’ve always

wondered if Cousin Bob might have had a hand in it. But I am sure that Uncle Jim is likely to be pulling prac-tical jokes in Heaven these days – although Hell needs his services much more.

I’ll get back to Uncle Jim later.Meanwhile, if you are traveling on an airplane over

� anksgiving or Christmas – and don’t � y much other-wise – you’re in for a very rude surprise. � ings are not a barrel of fun at the security gates.

Get this: If you’re bringing Grandma’s beloved pumpkin pie on your trip, you’re going to get ridiculous scrutiny. A� er all, there could be explosive stu� in that pie – and the TSA (which stands for Twitchy Security Administration) knows that terrorists have always used desserts to hide bombs within.

Cranberry sauce is not allowed onboard � ights unless you have less than 3.4 ounces of it. (I am not kidding here.) Yet, you can bring as much green bean casserole on board as you want. What’s with that?

Personal aside: If the TSA wants to con� scate yams, Brussels sprouts, asparagus and Tofurkey, I’m all in.

If you want to bring little Timmy a toy gun for a Christmas present – even if it’s obviously a toy – it’s nev-er OK to put it into your carry-on bag. If you even try it, the terrorists will win. Is that what you want, scumbag?

� e TSA says that if you want to bring a cute snow-globe to your family gathering that will be just � ne. Unless it’s larger than a tennis ball. (Who’s ever seen a snow-globe that size? Come on!)

Your tiny globe also has to � t into a crumby little plas-tic bag along with your creams, gels and hemorrhoidal cream.

Oh, great! So now you have to choose between a snow globe or hemorrhoidal agony?

� ey say that 60 percent of the human body are � uids. If true, why does the TSA let any of us on board?

You know what? Let’s just take the bus instead.In closing, one more Uncle Jim bit:One time, when everyone was out of the kitchen, Jim

scooped the dressing out of the just-baked turkey, and jammed a cooked Turkish game hen into the big bird’s cavity.

� en, at the moment of dinnertime, Uncle Jim marched into the dining room holding the grand turkey alo� on a platter.

“Behold!” He said, hamming it up in vintage Uncle Jim fashion.

With the eager throng sitting eagerly at the table, he’d set the platter down on the table and begin to carve it.

� en, with mock horror, Uncle J. would open the turkey’s cavity – and pull out the game hen. He’d shriek and then announce to our startled family members: “My God! � is turkey was PREGNANT!”

Come to think of it, I’m not so sure Uncle Jim made it to Heaven.

He would have never made it through security.

Bellevue-based AAA Washington is warning drivers to be wary of flood-dam-aged vehicles from Superstorm Sandy.

Such vehicles can be shipped anywhere for resale, and may show up for sale throughout the US as early as one week af-ter the storm. Due to the short time period between the water damage and being sold, often these vehicles are not identified as flood-damaged in national databases.

The vehicles can continue to appear in the marketplace for up to a year after a major flood.

“In addition to the obvious damage done to upholstery and carpeting, flood water is a corrosive and abrasive mixture of water and dirt that forces its way into every seam and crevice of an automobile,” said John Milbrath, AAA Washington’s vice president of member services. “Most vulnerable are the engine, transmission and other compo-nents of the drive train. Unless these vital parts are completely restored, contaminants from the flood water will cause premature wear and shorten the life of the vehicle.”

Used-car buyers should be aware that

vehicles damaged by AAA recommends that used-car buyers always have a potential used-car purchase inspected by a qualified automotive technician and check its title his-tory to help determine whether it sustained flood damage among other problems.

How to Spot a Flood-Damaged Vehiclen Engage your sense of smell to detect any

damp or musty odors inside the vehicle.n Are the windows fogged up? Has

the carpet or upholstery been replaced or recently shampooed? Pull back the carpet at different areas and look for mud, dirt or signs of water stains.n Inspect the dashboard underside for

signs of mud and dirt. This is a particularly hard area to clean.n Look under the vehicle for corrosion.

It is uncommon to find corrosion in newer vehicles and those that are owned or sold in southern states. n Open all doors, hood, and trunk to

inspect for corrosion, mud and dirt or dis-coloration on the door frames, hinges and under the weather stripping. Pay special attention to small spaces and crevices that are difficult to clean. n Check all warning lights, window

motors, and all electrical components to ensure they are working properly. While a non-working part alone does not mean the vehicle was flooded, it combined with other difficulties is a cause for concern. n Obtain a CARFAX Vehicle History Re-

port. This report can potentially reveal if the vehicle has been involved in a flood, major accident, fire, or uncover odometer fraud.

AAA warning car buyers of storm-damaged vehicles

Newcastle’s first library will feature a ribbon-cutting celebration and open house at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8.

The 11,000 square foot library was built as part of the $172 million library capital bond, approved by voters in 2004 to fund major upkeep and expansion of King County Library System of libraries. The $11.9 million library will include books, materials, computers, space for children and teens, a community meeting room and access to a growing number of eBooks.

The library was designed with several

green features, including a green roof to reduce storm water runoff and radiant heated floors, which distribute heat from the ground up to maintain a consistent temperature and conserve energy.

A public tour of the library will be of-fered after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, with refreshments and music provided by the Pernassus Project, a group of musicians who present classical chamber music in non-traditional settings.

The new library is located at 12901 New-castle Way.

New online health care model expands to Bellevue

With Sprig Health, patients can make an appointment online and pay for the services directly, eliminating the need to have insurance. COURTESY PHOTO

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

A new online health care market-place will expand into Seattle and Bellevue in the coming months. Sprig Health links providers with patients, in a web-based network that hopes to provide an alternative model for ac-cessing health care.

“Individuals want immediate ac-cess. � ey want convenience,” said company president Kris Gorriarán. “And they want to know what they’re getting upfront.”

Under the Sprig Health model, cus-tomers are directed to a website where they can search for an appointment date and the type of service needed. Care ranges from lab testing to der-matology visits. A� er scheduling, cus-tomers are given a rough appraisal for the cost of their appointment. Because administrative costs are greatly re-duced under the online model, many providers o� er savings of up to 20 to 50 percent.

� e advantage, said Dr. Andrew Appel-baum and his wife, Michele, of Overlake Family Medicine, is better access to primary care. Uninsured and cash-paying patients are more likely to schedule appointments, reducing the need for emergency services further out.

“Health care is changing dramati-cally,” said Dr. Appelbaum. “� ere’s a need to � nd di� erent health care systems and this is just one that’s pop-ping up.”

Sprig Health was founded in Febru-

ary of 2011, and formally launched in November of last year. Since then it’s been met with much excitement by providers like Overlake Family Medicine. � e Appelbaums haven’t received any patients through Sprig Health, but predict the services will

be well suited to the fast-paced, tech-savvy nature of the city. � e company’s network has more than 60 provid-ers signed on in Seattle already.

Sprig only recently launched in Bellevue, but Portland demo-graphics suggest that it targets a wide spec-trum, ranging from young professionals, to patients between the

ages of 55 and 65, many of whom are uninsured and have preexisting condi-tions. Gorriarán remembers the story of a woman who, thanks to Sprig, had her � rst mammogram in seven years. It’s that type of preventive care, that she believes Sprig embodies and

promotes.“It’s a very innovative and unique

product, in keeping with where we live,” she said.

Gorriarán added that such models will become increasingly relevant un-der health care reform. All Americans will be required to have coverage by 2014, or face penalties.

“Whether patients are insured or [uninsured] you’re going to need to shop for services,” she explained. “What we’re doing, is we’re looking for an alternative. We want to simplify the health care model.”

Most of all, said the Appelbaums, Sprig empowers patients by allowing them to shop for prices, providers and appointment times, which can make going to the doctor less of an ordeal.

If the model proves successful in Washington, Gorriarán says she’d like to eventually expand it nationally. For more information, visit the company’s website at sprighealth.com.

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past

Fresno � re sheds lighton Bellevue whalers

For most of its three decades of operation, the American Paci� c Whaling Company was a quiet presence on the Bellevue waterfront. However, on April 4, 1923 one vessel provided a spectacle impossible to ignore.

� e whaler Fresno, soaked in oil, grease and other by-products of its trade, caught � re at the dock in Meydenbau-er Bay. Unfortunately for owner William Schupp, Bellevue had no � re department. More unfortunate still, the Fresno was not alone; three other whalers were anchored beside the burning steamer.

Although nothing could be done for the Fresno, a tugboat pulled the vessel away from the dock, and a launch owned by Bellevue entrepreneur E. Sherman managed to tow the Fresno’s three companions out of danger. � is would not be the last such � re. In 1935 Schupp was awak-ened by news that the dock itself was burning. But that’s another story…

Drivers traveling over Washington’s mountain pass highways should carry a few extra items now. For those pilot-ing heavy trucks, that should becomes a must.

As of Nov. 1, state law requires commercial vehicles and combina-tions of vehicles heavier than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating to carry su� cient tire chains. � is law also a� ects some larger passenger trucks, SUVs, recreational vehicles and trucks hauling trailers that exceed 10,000 GVW.

State Patrol troopers will strictly en-force the new requirements. � e WSP will have a special chain-emphasis patrol in early November to ensure drivers are carrying the appropriate number of chains, including spares. Failing to carry chains will cost driv-ers $124.

When highway advisories call for

chains, drivers who don’t chain up will face a $500 penalty. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend against the use of tire chains, so the State Patrol provides a list of approved, al-ternative traction devices when chain requirements are in place.

Studded tires do not meet the chain requirement and are legal for use only between Nov. 1 and March 31 in Washington. Drivers are encouraged to visit a tire dealer to learn more about tires that provide traction and are legal for year-round use.

It takes just one unprepared or careless driver to slow or stop tra� c. Always “know before you go” and get the most recent roadway information, winter-driving tips, car-preparation advice and information on the Wash-ington State Department of Transpor-tation’s winter driving website.

Here’s what drivers can do to pre-

pare for wintry roadway conditions:■ Download, print and carry the

WSDOT Winter Driving Guide and WSDOT mobile app.

■ Sign up for news and social media tools such as Twitter at www.wsdot.wa.gov/inform.

■ Prepare vehicles for winter and plan extra time to cross all mountain passes, including heavily-traveled routes such as Snoqualmie Pass, Ste-vens Pass and White Pass.

■ Carry chains and know the trac-tion and chain requirements. Moun-tain-pass traction and chain require-ments are available on the WSDOT website, highway advisory signs and highway advisory radio.

■ Preset Highway Advisory Radio stations 530 AM and 1610 AM before traveling.

Winter travel laws now in effect

Puget Sound Energy crews and emergency responders have taken steps to ready if high winds and heavy rain batter the region.

“While the sun was shining these past few months, our crews were busy trimming trees, working

on reliability projects and getting ready for winter,” said Andy Wappler, a certi� ed meteorologist and PSE vice president of corporate a� airs. “Now that the weather is changing, those prepara-tions will help us serve our customers as storm season begins.”

Although the National Weather Service predicts an El Nino weather pattern, which typically results in a mild mid-to-late winter with warmer and drier weather than average, the phenom-enon has little impact on reducing the number of fall and early winter storms. As an example, meteorologists point to the very stormy fall of 2006, which brought � ooding, snow and the dev-astating Dec. 14-15 Hanuk-kah Eve wind storm.

“Our PSE crews are ready for storm season, and we

want families and businesses to be ready, too,” Wappler said. “Our storm bases used our recent mild weather to train for when weather turns rough. � e professionals are prepared. We want your fam-ily to be prepared as well.”

More than 250 PSE personnel recently took part in the utility’s annual “mock storm” exercises at PSE’s Emergency Coordination Center and its storm bases in Olympia, Puyallup, Kent, Redmond, Poulsbo and Bur-lington. � e series of drills required crews to simulate all aspects of response to a ma-jor, widespread storm, from assessing damaged electrical systems and dispatching line crews to coordinating with local emergency-service agencies and communicat-ing with customers and the media.

While e� ective, well-

planned storm response is vital, Wappler said, equally critical is the work PSE does throughout the year to harden its energy-delivery infrastructure. PSE invests more than $100 million per year to maintain its electric system and enhance equip-ment reliability. � e e� ort includes such things as:

- Trimming or removing trees that are threatening to come into contact with power lines. In all, PSE trims approximately 1,110 miles of high-voltage transmission line and 1,900 miles of distri-bution lines annually across its nine-county electric service area.

- Strategically replacing overhead power lines with specially coated “tree wire” that is less prone to power outages if a tree branch falls into the line.

- Upgrading substa-tions and replacing aged transformers, fuses, break-ers, power poles and other electrical equipment.

- Replacing overhead power lines in outage-prone areas with underground cable.

State regulators have � ned Puget Sound Energy (PSE) $250,000 for violating a 2010 order that required the utility to review and correct speci� c customer accounts.

� e Washington Utilities and Transportation Commis-sion (UTC) has approved a multi-party settlement of a complaint that alleged 515 violations of the 2010 order. � e parties include: commission sta� , PSE, the Public Counsel Section of the Attorney General’s O� ce, and � e Energy Project, a nonpro� t group that represents low-income people.

� e UTC originally penalized the company $104,300 in October 2010 for improperly handling accounts of custom-ers, including many low-income customers, disconnected for nonpayment. In addition to that penalty, the company was ordered to make corrections to 26 speci� c customer accounts identi� ed by UTC sta� .

In the 2010 order, the UTC also penalized the company for improperly applying energy assistance pledge funds made to low-income customers’ accounts. Energy as-sistance pledges are intended to help consumers keep the

lights and heat on during the winter months. Commission sta� cited PSE for improperly applying those funds to a prior balance, which led to additional threats of disconnec-tion for customers.

PSE has now provided refunds and credits to the mishandled customer accounts, and changed its billing practices to ensure that customer payments are applied correctly. � e company also agreed to make a $75,000 contribution to its low-income assistance program. � e utility is not allowed to pass the penalty costs to customers through rates.

Bellevue-based PSE serves more than 1 million electric customers and about 785,000 natural gas customers, pri-marily in the Puget Sound region of Western Washington.

� e UTC is the three-member state agency in charge of regulating the private, investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities in Washington.

BY CELINA KAREIVABELLEVUE REPORTER

When Deborah Beamer lived in her car, the simplest tasks presented an obstacle. Finding a place to shower, or a restroom overnight meant enduring stares every time she walked into a business.

She was hesitant to stay at a shelter, but couldn’t af-ford to keep her car heated during the winter months.

“It was cold, and my car took gas to run,” remembers Beamer of her time on the streets. “I was confined to my vehicle in those winter months…After a while, everything wears at you.”

Beamer, who later found relief in the form of Bel-levue women’s shelter, The Sophia Way, said the winter months are extra difficult on the city’s homeless popu-lation.

“It’s not easy to sleep in a car or park because of the rain, the cold and the elements,” explained Helen Leuzzi, executive director of The Sophia Way. “[These shelters] are really life-saving.”

Winter shelters opened on the Eastside last Thurs-day, and will continue to serve Bellevue’s homeless population through March of 2013. The seasonal program is a joint partnership with the cities of Bel-

levue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, King County and organizations: The Sophia Way and Congregations for the Homeless (CFH).

Though year-round services are also available, emergency facilities target an increased demand dur-ing the winter months. Homeless men and women, who may be more comfortable sleeping outside during the spring and summer, are forced indoors by stormy, sometimes extreme weather.

“They offer a safe place to sleep, and a warm place indoors,” said Steve Roberts, Executive Director of CFH.

CFH began its seasonal program in 2008 at the request of the city, after hearing of a weather-related death. What began as a rudimentary emergency facility has since grown into a 50 bed unit.

“Bellevue is slowly starting to realize and slowly coming to grips with the fact that there is a need,” said Beamer.

“You might think, how in such an affluent area as East King County, there is homeless. But the same is-sues happen to people everywhere,” said Leuzzi.

Eastside’s women’s shelter opened Nov. 1 at Red-mond United Methodist church. It will be joined Nov. 15 by the opening of the men’s shelter at St. Peter’s United Methodist church. Both shelters will remain open from 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. daily, and will offer two warm meals a night.

Winter shelters open to help the homelessWhen the wind, rain and cold come, shelters can be life-savers to those who spend their days and nights on streets

Helen Leuzzi, executive director of � e Sophia Way, says many people think the Eastside doesn’t have homeless people, “but the same issues happen to people every-where.” CELINE KAREIVA, Bellevue Reporter

Faced with escalating fuel costs and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the state ferry system hopes to convert at least a quarter of its � eet to a new fuel source.

� e goal is to convert six ferries to run on lique� ed natural gas by 2015, accord-ing to David Moseley, head of the ferry system.

� e ferry system has been studying lique� ed natural gas (LNG) for about two years, Mose-ley said, adding that it is expected to remain signi� cantly cheaper than the diesel fuel that ferries currently use. Moseley said it also produces fewer

greenhouse gas emissions.WSF recently got pre-

liminary approval from the U.S. Coast Guard to retro� t the six Issaquah class ferries. It now will develop more speci� c plans, which it will present to the Coast Guard as well as the state Legislature for approval as early as this winter. It’s also searching for a private investor to help � nance the multi-million dollar project.

� e Executive Development Institute has selected Alan Sugiyama as the organiza-tion’s new executive director. � e institute is the only Paci� c Northwest nonpro� t organization that focuses on leadership training for multiethnic professionals.

Sugiyama will start as executive direc-tor on Jan. 2, 2013. EDI’s current executive director, Starr Macdonald, announced her retirement a� er serving 10 years.

“Leaders aren’t born, they are developed and EDI is the perfect agency to do that,” said Sugiyama. “It’s like a dream come true to be able to help develop our community’s future leaders.”

Sugiyama is the founder and former

Executive Director of the Center for Career Alternatives (CCA), a nationally and locally award-winning agency that provided educa-tion, employment and training to a culturally diverse group of adults and youth, in both King

and Snohomish counties. During his tenure at CCA, Sugiyama

created about 200 programs that served over 30,000 participants. In 2009, he was recognized as “Favorite Executive Director” by the International Examiner’s “Reader’s

Choice Award.” A� er serving 30 years, he retired from CCA in 2009 and continued serving community organizations as a consultant.

“Alan’s community connections com-bined with his experience and passion for developing diverse global leaders make him ideal for this position,” said Wallace Greene, board president of EDI. “We are excited to welcome him to EDI and know he will hit the ground running.”

Sugiyama has served on more than 100 boards and committees throughout his career. In 1989, he became the � rst Asian American elected to the Seattle School Board. For his lifetime of service, the NW Asian Weekly presented Sugiyama with their “Lifetime Leadership Award.” For the past three years, he was also selected

as the International Examiner’s “Favorite Community Activist.” In 2007, he re-ceived University of Washington’s highest diversity award, the “Charles Odegaard Award.” In 2011, he received Seattle Central Community College’s � rst annual “Distinguished Alumni Award.”

Sugiyama was introduced at EDI’s 19th gala dinner honoring 47 graduates at the Bellevue Westin last week. EDI col-laborates with 50 Northwest corporations such as Boeing, Microso� , Key Bank and Nike to provide business relevant, cultur-ally tailored leadership training for Asian Paci� c Islander and Hispanic participants. � e leadership institute has built a commu-nity of close to 700 alumni including this year’s graduates in the Greater Seattle and Portland areas.

After a visit to your dentist or denturist you’ll be proud to show off your beautiful smile at

all those holiday parties.

For perfect

Plan a visit to the dentist before the holidays

We all love to look our best over the Christmas holidays. Women search for the perfect New

Year’s Eve dress, men hope to fi nd some elegant yet comfortable shoes, and appointments have to be made for hairstyles, manicures, and beauty treatments. But don’t forget one essential element in all that turmoil: your smile. Just think of all those hugs and kisses that are a big part of the Christmas tradition! A visit to your dentist or denturist will help you freshen up your smile so you can be comfortable getting close to others.

Visiting a dentist before the Christmas holidays is a wise move. He or she will not only evaluate the general state of your oral health, they will also ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible for the festive season. With a good cleaning and up-to-date repair or cosmetic work, you will be much more comfortable

making an entrance and cozying up to loved ones for intimate fi reside conversations.

If you have a dental prosthesis, otherwise known as dentures, now is a good time to book a check-up. For optimal comfort and a healthy-looking smile, your prosthesis should be examined on a yearly basis. During your visit, the denturist will use all the latest equipment to ensure a perfect fi t. If you have problems with odour, stains, or slipping, this is the time to bring them up so the denturist can resolve the issue immediately with modifi cations or advice. He or she will also clean and polish your dentures, making them shine like new.

More than trendy clothes, fashionable shoes or beauti-ful jewelry, your smile is a social tool and the key to seduction. It also builds tremendous self-confi dence.

You’ll be proud to show off your fresh breath and radiant smile while unwrapping gifts or having fun at family or offi ce festivities. So stop dithering and give yourself the gift of a beautiful smile this Christmas!

Today approximately 18 million, or 1 in 15 Americans experience Sleep Apnea, a sleep disorder involving the airway that disrupts a person’s sleep o� en leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, overall poor health, and in some cases, even death. According to Dr. Je� ery Doneskey, Oral Medicine Specialist and founder of � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center in Bellevue, therapy for the disorder can be di� cult. “� e most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway. While CPAP can provide an e� ective solution, Doneskey reports that there are signi� cant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers o� en report having di� culty with getting

comfortable and keeping the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation. At � e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “� e SilentPartner™, a jaw-friendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, � e SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open. In addition to keeping the airway open, � e SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while protecting the

teeth of patients who clench during their sleep. � is appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use � e Silent-Partner on a full time basis.~ Provided by Dr. Je� Doneskey of

� e Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center. Online at www.doneskey.com

The SilentPartner™ is used to e� ectively treat:

• Snoring • Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Patients who are unable to use CPAP • TMJ clicking and locking • Classic TMJ disorders

However, the district faces some opposition in the Ti� any Park neighbor-hood from people who don’t want to see about 20 acres of land become single-family homes. � e district wanted to start the process to sell the land back in 2008, but the failing U.S. economy and housing market caused it to change its mind. � at isn’t the case anymore.

■ A convicted felon who escaped from the Monroe Correctional Complex on Nov. 7, was recaptured near North Bend. A King County Sheri� ’s search dog team as well as SWAT members searched the area of the Rattlesnake Ridge trailhead a� er receiving a tip from a hiker. When police caught up with the felon, he attempted to � ee, but was stopped by the

police dog.

A large penguin waddling around downtown Redmond on Nov. 9 was actually Redmond

Elementary School Principal Joyce Teshima. She donned the costume when students raised nearly $10,000 for the school. For those wondering, the costume made her head really hot, Teshima said.

■ A non-binding advisory vote in Sam-mamish appears to support development of a $30 million Community and Aquatic Center. Operation and construction agreements for the Community Center aren’t yet completed, meaning it could take some time before the the City Council makes any � nal decision.

■ Kirkland’s Lake Washington Institute of Technology board of trustees has appointed Dr. Sharon McGavick as interim president of the college. She replaces Dr. David Woodall, who died suddenly on Sept. 3, 2012. McGavick served as LWIT’s president from 2008 to 2011. During McGavick’s recent presidency at LWIT she lead the college toward its � rst applied baccalaureate degree.

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

Newport waited 26 years between state swim and dive state titles, but the Knights were back atop the podium this week-end at King County Aquatic Center, taking the team scoring championship with the deepest squad in the state.

Despite not winning an individual event or team relay, coach Eric Bartleson’s team was in front when the � nal event was � nished as a host of underclassmen bolstered the team’s depth.

One of the freshman who made an impact was Elisa Fang, who � nished fourth in the 50 free, sixth in the 100 backstroke and also swam on a pair of relays, including the third place � nishing 200 medley relay squad that also included Jenny Huo, Amelia Liu and Emily Waddell.

Maggie Pana also had a standout perfor-mance for Newport with a � � h place � nish in the 200 freestyle and fourth place in the 500 free.

School record holder Lorea Gwo was third in the 50 free, just in front of Fang, and took the same spot in the 100 butter� y.

Gwo, Huo, Waddell and Pana teamed to earn the team’s best � nish of the met in the 200 free relay, where they were second in a time of one minute, 41.91 seconds.

It was Fang, Pana, Gwo and Liu in the 400 free relay, the � -nal event of the day, where the Knights � nished third to secure the team scoring title.

Wolverines � fth; Williams nabs two titles Bellevue sophomore Kim Williams added two more state

championships on Saturday, taking home the 3A state title in the 200 yard individual medley and 100 yard backstroke, earning an automatic All-American time in both events.

“It was really fun, I just felt like a kid again,” Williams said of her second state swim and dive meet. “I just tried to relax and have fun.”

Williams and Mercer Island’s Grace Wold faced-o� in one of the day’s main events in the 200 IM, where Wold came out in front in 2011. � e Mercer Island senior shaved some six-seconds o� her preliminary time to � nish in two minutes, 1.87 seconds, but she was fractions behind Williams’ time of 2:01.20, which was a personal best more than eight-seconds faster than the time she posted the day before in qualifying.

It was far from the � rst time the two KingCo and club swimming rivals have met in the pool.

“I’ve raced against her since I was 11 or 12 years old,” Wil-liams said. “It’s just really fun to race her. She pushed me really hard.”

It was not nearly the same challenge in the 100 breast, where Williams � ew past the competition and � nished more than two-seconds in front of her closest competitor in 1:03.49.

She teamed with Naomi Ngo, Linnea Uyeno and Natalie Fontana to bring home a � � h place � nish in the 200 medley relay as well. � e same foursome was fourth in the 400 free relay and Ngo � nished sixth in the � nals of the 200 IM and seventh in the 100 � y.

Williams said a� er a pressure-packed 2011 meet, where she took her � rst individual state title in the 100 backstroke, her focus was on remaining con� dent and loose with her teammates and focusing on the experience rather than the outcome.

“I wasn’t happy a� er state last year because I was so stressed out and put so much pressure on myself,” she said. “� is year, it wasn’t a big deal. I didn’t care what my time was, it was just really fun.”

Bellevue ended the meet in � � h place as a team while Mer-cer Island won the team scoring going away. � ree of the top four team � nishers were from the Sea-King district.

Totems send � ve to 2A meetSammamish sent � ve to the 2A state meet, including

freshman McKenna Troje, who � nished eighth in the div-ing competition.

Riley Martin, Gillian Matthes, Carmen Wai and Blaire Ziegan swam on a pair of relay teams and Matthes also made the � eld in the 100 breaststroke.

Saints back in 3AInterlake’s Anna Kimura, CC Hagen, Lianna Sutich and

Cassidy McDermott made the B Final in the 200 medley relay. Hagen also made the B Final in the 50 free while Sutich and Kimura swam the 100 � y.

Hagen and McDermott teamed with Lauren Butler and Cyssi Ngo in the 200 free relay, where the Saints also made the B Final.

Brigid Mackey swam the B Final for the Saints in the 200 free and � nished 10th.

Most of us have been bullied at some point, whether we endured teasing, name-calling, or even physical aggression. Although the initial

sting may go away, the memories of the experience haunt some people for the rest of their lives.

Encountering a bully can ruin a child’s school experience. Now with cyberbul-lying, your child can be attacked in the safety of your own home.

Bullying occurs at almost any age, but it’s most prevalent in middle school. As a parent, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of a child being bullied. � ese may include emotional signals such as withdrawal, a drop in grades or loss of friends; and visible e� ects such as torn clothing, bruises or other signs

of � ghting. Another indication of bullying is when your

child becomes upset about going to school, sports practice, daycare, or wherever the bullying is occurring.

Danny Hanson, who oversees the PEACE Anti-bullying Program at Youth Eastside Services, recommends that parents encourage children to start with simple steps a� er telling school personnel about the problem. First, avoid a bully by playing in a di� erent area. Because there is safety in numbers, he also suggests hanging out with a buddy. Finally, Hanson reminds parents to encourage kids who witness bullying to speak up and report it to teachers or an adult, even if it wasn’t directed at them.

It’s important to encourage your child to tell you when another child is being hurtful, either physically or emo-tionally.

Don’t assume your child knows how to talk to a teacher or counselor if the incidents involve a classmate. Rehearse how to ask an adult for help — ideally before any bullying has occurred.

Check in regularly to ascertain if your child continues to be bullied. You may need to get involved and talk to school personnel. Unless you have an existing relationship with a family, it’s best to avoid confronting a child bully or the parents of a bully. � is can back� re and result in more aggressive behavior.

If your child is having a di� cult time overcoming the harm in� icted by a bully, it may be a good idea to seek counseling to avoid long-term issues.

Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services. For more information, call 425-747-4937 or go to www.youtheastsideservices.org.

‘Fiddler’ bucks tradition at Village Theatre

BY KEEGAN PROSSERBELLEVUE REPORTER

You know you’re seeing good theater when there’s no telling where your emotions will take you next.

First, you laugh. It’s that hilarious moment when the lead character drinks too much.

Next, you’re swept o� your feet. � e boy next door � nally breaks down and says, “I love you.”

� en, you cry. You’ve reached the dreaded battle be-tween the head and the heart.

Before you even realize, you’re bouncing in your seat to another catchy tune.

You’ll feel all of this, and more, upon seeing Village � eatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Tradition. It’s the little things in life that shape us into the people were supposed to be. It’s also the opening number of the award–winning musical – and the over-arching theme tying the story together.

Based on “Tevye and His Daughters” and other tales from Yiddish author and playwright Sholem Aleichem, the story follows Tevye, a struggling milkman in the � ctional Russian village of Anatevka.

In the face of eviction by the Tsarist regime, Tevye struggles to cope with a variety of personal issues: pres-sure from his wife to � nd suitable matches for their three eldest daughters, the strong–willed actions of said daugh-ters and the traditional customs of his Jewish faith.

Directed by David Ira Goldstein and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, Village � eatre’s production of “Fid-dler of the Roof ” features a star–studded cast, led by Eric Polani Jensen and Bobbi Kotula in the roles of Tevye and his wife, Golde.

Keeping with tradition, Jensen’s Tevye is a passionate and loyal Papa, a patriarch whose headstrong and hilari-ous – and an absolutely so� y when it comes to the women in his life. Paired with Kotula’s Golde, sparks � y.

Sprinkled with hilarious anecdotes from the town’s matchmaker, Yente (played with zest by Laura Kenny), and elaborate musical numbers in the form of “Match-maker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” and “� e Dream,” “Fiddler” takes us on a ride like no other – highlighting

the good and bad that come with � nding, fostering and letting love grow.

But the soul of the show lies in the relationships be-tween Tevye and his eldest daughters – Tzeitel (Jennifer Weingarten), Hodel (Emily Cawley) and Chava (Mara Solar) – whose free spirits and nontraditional routes to marriage bring Tevye’s beliefs to the very brink.

As explained by Tevye in the opening scene, the Fid-dler standing precariously on the roof is a metaphor for surviving, and prospering, in the face of change - an idea that is addressed time and time again throughout the production.

� e famous “bottle dance” proved another high point of the production, with members of the ensemble scoot-ing across the stage in sync as glass bottles balanced precariously atop their heads.

Like the unstable Fiddler, the dance is a point of uncer-tainty and a perfect example of � nding balance between what’s expected - and what we aspire to be.

“Fiddler on the Roof ” runs through Dec. 30 at the Francis J. Gaudette � eatre, 303 Front Street North, Is-saquah, and in Everett starting Jan. 4

This weekend more than 1,000 Irish dancers will gather in Bellevue for the Western Region Oireachtas - a regional Irish Dance Championship being held in Bellevue Nov. 16-18.

The Western US Region is one of seven regions in North America as set forth by the IDTANA (Irish Dance Teach-ers Association of North America). The region follows the rules of both the IDTANA and the governing body in Ireland, An Coimisiun le Rince Gaelacha, and includes dancers and schools from the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Dancers will compete in hopes of qualifying for the World Irish Dance Championships in Boston next spring.

Taking place at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, this mark’s the competition return to the Northwest after more than 10 years away. Recent competitions have taken place in California and Denver.

“It’s all the best dancers from the region” said Bellevue resident Mary Herridge.

Herridge’s three children have taken Irish dance lessons at Tara Academy in Seattle since they were four years old. On Saturday, her son Brendan will compete in the un-der-16 male category. He is currently a student at Samma-mish High School.

In addition to team competition, the championship will feature categories for solo competitors and dance drama. The latter category features groups acting out traditional Irish stories and folklore with their bodies.

The Western Region Oireachtas begins at 8 a.m. each day and is free and open to the public. The schedule is as follows: girls (under 11) dance Friday; boys (all) dance Saturday morning; teens and dance drama dance Saturday afternoon; girls (15-plus) dance Sunday. Photos are not allowed during the competition but are allowed during the awards ceremony each evening.

Irish dancers to compete in regional championship

BY KEEGAN PROSSERBellevue RepoRteR

The Puget Sound region has long been a breeding ground for talented musicians - and the School of Rock may be partly to thank. This weekend, the music program - which already boast more than 90 locations worldwide - will open it’s second Washington locale. In Bellevue.

Managed by Washington native Kris Kierulff, the new location has been in development for the past year. Kier-ulff, who grew up on the Eastside, got his start in the music industry by attending all-ages shows at the Old Firehouse in Redmond.

“I loved community of live music,” Kierulff said. “And fell in love with live music aspect of the music business.”

Looking to instill his love of music in kids, Kierulff designed his own degree in college that focused on youth empowerment through artistic expression, and has since worked a variety of jobs on the business side of the music industry - including working as a booking agent and tour manager for several years.

Noting the high burnout rate of people who work in the music industry, Kierulff said he found himself at a cross-roads five years ago, trying to figure out what he was going to do next. That’s when he was offered a job to manage the School of Rock’s Seattle locale.

“It was just the perfect fit,” he said.Kierulff says the idea for a School of Rock location on

the Eastside came about because the company is looking to expand across the country.

“They really believed in the team and staff at the Seattle School and felt they could really invest in Bellevue,” Kier-ulff said.

Kierulff said some staff from the Seattle school will also work in Bellevue. However, the new location has also pro-vided the opportunity for him to hire instructors he didn’t

necessarily have room for in Seattle. There will also be a handful of students who currently attend the Seattle School who will be moving to the Bellevue location.

“Bellevue parents are excited to have a school that’s closer,” Kierulff said.

In regard to the school’s curriculum, Kierulff said the core of what they do is performance based music educa-tion.

“We put on shows to teach music, we don’t teach music to put on shows,” Kierulff said.

School of Rock students from the Seattle location have played shows at the Crocodile, Neumos and both Showbox venues, as well as stages at Bumbershoot and Seafair.

School of Rock Bellevue will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m. at 14330 NE 20th Street, Bellevue.

The event will also feature a drum clinic with legendary Santana member, Michael Shrieve.

LET ME HELP YOU REGAIN THEFEELING IN YOUR HANDS AND FEET!Do you suffer from peripheral neuropathy?

If you suffer from a single one of these torturous symptoms—numbness, tingling, burningor sharp nerve pain—you MUST DISCOVER our Neuropathy Recovery Program!

Neuropathy affects every part of your life – walking, sitting, sleeping, socializing, yourability to enjoy relationships and so much more. If you have tried “everything” like(Anodyne therapy, physical therapy, Lyrica, Neurontin or other medications) and you arenot getting the lasting results you want, then this may be the most important informationyou have ever read! There is a simple reason that most treatments fail. . .because, at best,they only cover up your symptoms and do not heal your damaged nerves.

We all know that there is a tremendous difference between covering up your symptomsor actually fixing the underlying problem. So, why settle for “band-aid care” when ourNeuropathy Recovery Program is available?

Do you have any of the following symptoms. . .❑ Pins and needles feeling❑ Numbness in the hands or feet❑ Tingling or burning sensations❑ Weakness in the Legs and Toes❑ Sharp shooting or burning pains❑ A feeling like a sock is rolled up under your toes?

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

If you are like most people who suffer from peripheral neuropathy, you have probably triedeverything. You have probably been to specialists, tried alternative health care and all of thelatest and greatest miracle cures. Unfortunately, there is no gimmick, no quick fix and nopill that will ever make your neuropathy go away permanently. What we do in our officeis the REAL THING! I am confident that our Neuropathy Recovery Program is somethingyou haven’t tried before and may be the answer you are looking for.

My name is Dr. Daniel P. Hanson. I am a board CertifiedChiropractic Neurologist. I am one of only approximately471 Carrick Trained Chiropractic Neurologists in theworld. I’ve been helping people with neuropathy andnerve problems for more than 16 years. The neuropathytreatment program I provide is much more effective thanregular chiropractic and taking various medications likeGabapentin. My very effective, life changing treatmentinvolves using LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY,COLD LASER THERAPY and EXERCISE WITHOXYGEN which focuses on healing your damaged nervesand poor circulations in the feet/hands.It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic neurologyand LASER therapy will be your neuropathy solution.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is fi lled by what you see: mountains on every horizon—rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts. Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky. Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defi es description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because fi nding it brings a fortune in fun. You’ll know that after your fi rst run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one? Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering. Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and off -piste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt. Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also fi nd friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food. Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that fi rst turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold. SKI IT TO BELIEVE IT.com
