Real estate listings fall, prices recover Two spec houses linger on the market for months

By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

Real estate inventory is down on Mercer Island, as is the case in most of King County, but the median price shot up from a year ago as well as from a month ago.

Per the latest statistics from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, the median sales price on the Island in August, with both single family homes and condominiums combined, was $875,000, up from $765,000 a year ago and $770,000 in July of this year.

Single family median price jumped 14.75 percent from a year ago, while condos dropped 22.09

percent.

In August, 28 homes closed while just three condominiums changed hands. Pending sales, those with mutually agreed contracts that have not yet closed were at 42 last month, up from 39 a year ago and 31 in July of this year.

Per the NWMLS, last month’s volume of pending sales statewide was the highest number of mutually accepted offers since April 2010, when the homebuyer tax incentive expired.

Mercer Island NWMLS members added 57 new listings to the market in August, 50 single family homes and seven condos, bringing total inventory on the Island to 147 listings compared to 201 a year ago.

The median sales price for sin-

gle family homes in August was $929,500 — up 14.75 percent from last year, but condos were down 22.08 percent from $301,000 to $234,500 in the past year.

NWMLS also stated that multiple offers are occurring below the $1 million mark, close to job centers in Seattle and Bellevue. The National Association of Realtors faults banks for “unnecessarily restrictive practices” in lending, denying loans to creditworthy potential buyers/borrowers.

It has been a long time since builders have braved building a home on speculation, due in part to lack of demand, and the tight financing. However, there are a few on the Island that are just waiting for a new owner.

Listed for $2.6 million, longtime Mercer Island builder Aspen Homes started a home at 8038 S.E. 45th Street by pouring the foundation several years ago. When the market went south, construction

They might seem fine from the outside, but Mercer Island’s public elementary schools are bursting with too many students.

But more pressing is the fact that school facilities here, in one of the finest school districts in the state, are rapidly becoming obsolete.

Many of the schools were built decades ago. There have been remodels and updating of the physical space and the installation of computers, but the design of the schools has not changed with the times. The type of space they include is no longer adequate.

The schools are overcrowded.

More than 600 students districtwide are housed in portables, the most at West Mercer Elementary School. West Mercer was designed and built for 450 students. There are now well over 600 students at West Mercer, many in portables.

Craig Hagstrom, a broker with John L. Scott Real Estate on Mercer Island, encouraged another long-time Mercer Island builder, Johnson Design Homes, to build a spec home on the North end of the Island.

recently finished the home at 2228 78th Ave. S.E., listed for $2.3 million.

“Very few builders have the guts to do this,” Hagstrom said.

Hagstrom said he predicted a shortage of new homes, and Johnson Design Homes was able to secure financing.

The home is also 6,200 square feet, with a grand entrance, cherry hardwood floors, five bedrooms, six baths, home theater, huge private deck and three-car garage.

Hagstrom said there has definitely been an increase in sales, with two waterfront sales in the past week, both in the $6 million range.

There are two other brand new homes on the market on the Island; one at 3028 61st Ave. S.E., listed for $1,395,000, and a contemporary home at 3813 82nd Ave. S.E., listed for $1,999,950.

Two other homes available are basically new.

Hagstrom said sometimes if you save a wall or part of the foundation, but the rest of the house is gutted, it’s considered a new home. That’s the case with both a home at 4028 93rd Ave. S.E., listed for $1,396,500, originally built in 1958, and one at 3225 West Mercer Way, listed for $1,548,800, originally built in 1988 — now considered brand new.

Landscaper dies in accident The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries is investigating the tragic workplace death of Terry Milbrad, 48, of Bothell, who died Sept. 6 while working in the 6000 block of East Mercer Way. Hector Castro, spokesman for Labor and Industry, said the accident occurred at 1 p.m. Milbrad was working with a landscaping crew from American Landscaping of Bothell. “He was up in a tree about 20 feet with a safety line and harness,� Castro said.

Castro said Milbrad was working with a gas-powered pole saw, a saw that is at the end of a long pole, when other workers heard a loud pop and saw Milbrad dangling from his safety line. “It appears he came in contact with a power line,�

Castro said.

The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center, but he did not survive.

Castro said the department has six months to complete their investigation into the incident. Investigators

from the department will speak to everyone who was there and look at how much and what kind of training Milbrad had to determine if there was any violation of state workplace safety laws.

Since Labor and Industry is an enforcement agency, they will cite American Landscaping if they find the company was not in compliance.

Castro said it’s usually the case that contractors and landscapers are more at risk of electrocution rather than line workers, because line workers have extensive training around electrical components.

Truck rolls into 77th Avenue S.E. home It’s not every day that a truck crashes into a home on a quiet residential street, but that’s exactly what happened on Thursday when a Servpro truck rolled down 77th Avenue S.E. into Gertrude Hollis’s home.

Hollis, 97, has lived in the home since 1962. A couple of neighbors were visiting at the time, and no one was injured. One of the neighbors, Tami Szerlip, said normally Hollis would

have been outside sitting on her porch, exactly where the truck hit, but she was inside with her guests.

Sgt. Jeff Magnan with the Mercer Island police said the call came in at 2:17 p.m. “My inclination is this was truly an accident,� Magnan said. “It looks bad, but the house really isn’t that damaged.�

Servpro, a company that does fire, smoke and water restoration, was on a job up the hill on 77th. Magnan said it appears there was a partial failure of the emergency brake, which was engaged. “We’re using the word ‘partially’ because if the brake had totally gone out, it would have gone through the house,� he said.

After crashing over a small tree, the truck stopped and nestled under Hollis’s front porch.

David Duarte with Servpro said one of his coworkers called out that the truck was going down the hill. The truck was unoccupied.

Hollis said she has been “truck free� for some time, and that the excitement of the event will last her a long time.

Magnan said Servpro does have insurance.

SCHOOLS | FROM 1 The need is acute.

School officials say district enrollment will exceed design capacity by 2015. “We are planning for students in 2015 with the potential for serving 10 percent more than that,� said schools finance officer, Dean Mack. “We cannot ‘do nothing.’ We cannot put one more portable on school land.�

Officials estimate there could be 4,500 students enrolled in public schools here by 2015, and maybe even more.

But there is more lacking than classroom space.

The need for new buildings and attendant facilities is not driven by the age of the buildings, but the capacity and space and the flexibility that is needed in schools to accommodate what will become basic learning in the upcoming decades.

In the school district’s 2020 Vision, school officials have described an approach to personalized and individual learning that can be tailored to the needs and learning styles of each student.

Accordingly, the space and technology that is available to students and educators must be adaptive and changeable to meet the challenges of learning in a rapidly changing world.

Owl takes a swipe Islander attacked by owl near elementary school

Islander Josh Johnson shows the Reporter where the owl attacked him near S.E. 54th Street. The owl broke skin on the top of his head.

Josh Johnson was on his normal evening run, the same route he has been running three or four days a week for the past three months, a trail off of S.E. 54th Street east of Island Park Elementary.

Looking ahead T

he work done to date by the 21st Century Committee is impressive — not only for the results accomplished to date but the people who have come forward to help out. A diverse group of people with the kinds of skills needed for such an important undertaking have been recruited. Educators, engineers and finance experts have come forward. Equally important is the fact that all are Islanders who have a personal history here on the Island and in the schools, and have a stake in the community’s future. No matter that these projects will come to fruition long after many of the people who serve on this committee will be gone; Islanders are committed to the future.

Such groups are fairly common in this town. There are busy professionals, parents and active retirees who serve on the Design Commission, the Planning Commission, committees on youth, band and sports. There is Island Vision, the Arts Council, Rotary, and many others. These individuals are part of what makes the Island a special place — a place focused on excellence. It is oft repeated that the fine schools here are the reason for the high property values. True — but not likely the reason people volunteer day and night for the various needs and programs at the schools. Yet, with or without such investments in K-12 education, there are serious issues ahead. Even with a fine K-12 school system, will there still be enough spots for high school grads at college? Will there be schools they can attend without facing a huge debt when they graduate? mong the many who swam, paddled or boated on the lake during the beautiful, warm and sunny last week are a couple of stand-outs. Not concerned about prizes or accomplishments, a pair of Island women in their 80s set out to swim across the open water from Bellevue to Mercer Island. At the end of their swim, ‘a piece of cake’ to them, they were met by other friends who stay fit. Lean and fit, and matter of fact about their longevity and their passion for the water, these two, Peggy Pomeroy and Alice Smith, have been swimmers for years. We salute them.

‘Islanders are committed to the future.’

TALK

To the editor Drivers on West Mercer Way need to slow down In just one week, I saw a dog lying in the road after having been struck by a car, and had a colleague hit head-on by a teenage driver as she drove to my house. Both accidents were on West Mercer Way, a residential street with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour.

Today I was mentally composing this letter and trimming some brush around our neighborhood mailboxes when a laughing teenage boy in a silver SUV intentionally drove over a traffic cone we’d placed along the road since my wife and I were working with our 6-year-old daughter. I write as a parent to ask all Islanders, and especially parents of young drivers, to remember that driving a two-ton hunk of steel with several hundred times the power of our own bodies requires caution and responsibility.

Peter Mostow

Bertlin for City Council Too often when we see problems, we are quick to complain, but not willing to actively participate in finding a solution. The Lindell lawsuit, Island Crest Way safety problems and a derogatory outburst by a Councilmember in front of children are just a few of the embarrassing issues that have recently blemished our City Council. It takes a lot of courage to run for a political office, and I commend Debbie Bertlin for recognizing the need for change and running for City Council Position 7.

Debbie brings a fresh perspective to our city, and I respect that she is striving to “re-build our community’s confidence in integrity and transparency of our municipal government.”

Her impressive career in management and her ability to work with diverse groups is what our city needs in order to bring cohesiveness back to our local government. Debbie seems able and willing to put politics aside and do what is in the best interest of our community.

I commend Debbie’s pledge for a fiscal responsible approach to our city’s budget while recognizing the importance of maintaining the quality schools, social services and infrastructure Mercer Island offers.

Let’s actively participate in the need for change and vote for Debbie Bertlin this November!

Thanks, Islanders for keeping it fun As the summer winds down, the Parks and Recreation Department has good reason to reflect on the generosity and support of the Mercer Island community.

During the 2011-2012 biennial budget planning process, the department faced $25,000 in special event budget reductions. Two programs that were up for elimination were the Fun Mobile and the award-winning Adventure Playground. Both of these programs are unique and focus on activities that help children grow, explore and create in a safe outdoor setting. We found that many in the community share this priority based upon the $25,000 donated to save these programs and other special events facing elimination.

The community also stepped up to save the Summer Celebration fireworks display. The Mercer Island Community Fund took the lead with a $10,000 matching donation, as well as Farmers New World Life Insurance Company, with a $10,000 gift.

Parks and Rec is kicking off another campaign to support these activities in 2012.

Mercer Island, can we do this again? We think so!

for teens to be using it medicinally. According to Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, prevention of first use is critical.

Arm yourself with facts and talk to your kids. Alertness, coordination and reaction time are all decreased with marijuana use. Memory and judgment impairment, increased appetite, increased heart rate and bloodshot eyes are also among the drug’s shortterm side effects. Heavy marijuana use impairs young people’s ability to concentrate and retain information. Marijuana can also cause anxiety, fear, distrust, panic, as well as acute psychosis (including hallucinations, delusions and paranoia).

Frequent users may also increase the possibility of a diagnosis of depression or psychosis later in life.

As a community, we can come together to further reduce the rate of marijuana use among Island youth. Mercer Island is a community of caring adults with a coalition whose sole focus is the prevention of youth substance use (MI Communities That Care).

By educating ourselves and our kids about the myths and facts surrounding cannabis, I have no doubt we can reduce the harmful effects caused by this drug. Act now and learn more at drugfree.org or go to www.mercerisland-ctc. com to locate a variety of helpful resources.

symptoms are similar in type and severity to those of nicotine withdrawal: irritability, sleeping difficulties, anxiety and craving.

Marijuana is not harmless. It is a contributing factor in over 374,000 emergency room visits each year in the United States. Driving under the influence of marijuana is the most common cause of fatal accidents due to illicit drug use.

From what I see as a practicing physician, kids on Mercer Island are using marijuana to be “cool” and to “fit in.” They also selfmedicate for social anxiety, depression, chronic pain and even asthma.

Marijuana addiction is a pediatric onset disease, and it is not appropriate

Alum joins MIHS music staff to prepare for Pasadena

By John Gallagher Special to the Reporter

When Bryan Wanzer, a recent Mercer Island High School graduate, played in the school’s marching band, he says he had the time of his life.

But when he got to college, he realized the

Mercer Island music program had actually changed his life. “Mr. Bixby and (former band director) Mr. Haberman were definitely the driving force for me to be an educator,” Wanzer said. “I wanted to have a job where I was excited to come in every day. And for me, band was the period I

always looked forward to.”

So after Wanzer graduated from the University of Montana last spring, he began applying for jobs in music education. Wanzer says he worried it would be tough to find a job because there are few openings in the field, particularly since he limited his job search to

School briefs

Islander Middle School was projected to have 965 students, and the actual number is 995.09 FTE. At Mercer Island High School, the budget was for 1,343 students; it, too, is up, by 52.96 FTE for a total of 1,395.96.

Plano said with attendance up, middle school teachers are a little overloaded, and about 12 teachers at the high school are carrying an extra load.

Lakeridge and West Mercer now have three lunch sessions to accommodate all the kids.

School enrollment numbers available

At Minor & James Medical, we offer fast, painless health screenings—simple tests that can often be accommodated within a single appointment—and that save lives everyday. We have the expertise and technology to provide for the early detection and treatment of many common conditions, ranging from heart disease and diabetes to many forms of cancer.

For a man, a PSA test, a digital rectal exam, and ultrasound technology can help detect prostate and testicular cancers long before they become a serious threat. For women a pap smear, rectovaginal pelvic exam, and transvaginal ultrasound can detect subtle changes in the uterus, cervix and ovaries that may indicate cancer.

Which is why, if you’re between the ages of 20 and 75, coming in for a health screening before you think something might be wrong is so important.

Because early detection always means a greater chance for a cure. And “cure” is a word worth more than anything.

The head count for the beginning of the 20112012 school year for the entire Mercer Island School District is 4,233.

FTE, or full-time equivalent, is 4,004 or 71.05 more kids than the district budgeted for. This is good news though, since state funding is based on FTE. While Island Park and Lakeridge Elementary schools were under budget — Island Park by 15.5 and Lakeridge by 26, West Mercer saw 23.5 more kids.

Superintendent Gary Plano pointed out that Island Park, with 506.5 FTE students, has most of the special needs kids, while West Mercer, with 630.5 FTE, has the gifted program.

Lakeridge Elementary has 541 FTE students.

Country Village Day School earns accreditation Country Village Day School of Mercer Island has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

To earn NAEYC accreditation, the school went through an extensive self-

study process, measuring the programs and its services against the 10 NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related criteria. The program earned the accreditation after an on-site visit

by NAEYC assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the 10 program standards.

NAEYC-accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts five years.

The NAEYC accreditation system was created to set professional standards for early childhood education and to help families identify high-quality preschools, child care centers and other early childhood programs.

Country Village Day School was founded in 1971

by Barb Stevenson. Located on the North Mercer campus, it has provided child care for working families for 40 years.

Board OKs teacher contract Resume needed for college apps?

By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

Remarking that a threeyear contract is a “little out of the norm,” by superintendent of the Mercer Island School District, Gary Plano, the MISD Board of Directors, voted unanimously to approve the new contract with the Mercer Island Education Association at Thursday night’s regularly scheduled meeting. The new contract is valid until Aug. 31, 2014.

The district’s Web site states, “The approved agreement covers three school years and provides a period of stability as the district and association work to solve the many challenges presented as a result of the national economic situation.

“The new contract provides for shifting early release day from Monday to Wednesday, beginning in the 2012-13 school year.

This will result in increased teacher/student contact time at the high school level.

“The association and district also worked together to provide a new evaluation tool for our classified staff.

This gives improved feedback to our employees and sets the stage for more effective services to students.

“The district and association also agreed to maintain a learning improvement day to provide training to our teachers by providing time

conflicting events as well.

Ellis also said he didn’t know of any survey that was sent to teachers asking why they may have voted against the contract.

“For my part, I voted against the contract not because of its provisions, but because of the process in which it was presented to the union’s membership,” Ellis said. “I and other union members requested to see the draft of the contract before the meeting so that we would be prepared to ask questions. All of us were denied.”

He said MIEA leadership’s rationale was that they didn’t want any misinterpretations or misunderstandings. He said with no time to digest the contract, casting an educated vote was impossible.

MIEA president, Tani Lindquist, said the meeting was scheduled before negotiations were complete.

“At that time it looked like it was going take longer to meet common ground,” Lindquist said. “We were thinking if we couldn’t settle, we’d pick the latest possible date, which was the day before school started.

We wanted the bargaining teams to have the most time to negotiate. I think it’s a very fair settlement, especially with these crazy economic times. We found common ground with the resources that are available.”

to a student’s accomplishments, I will ask that he or she upload the resume into this section. While the public institutions in our state do not use the Common Application, Western Washington University allows a student to substitute his/her resume for the activity list, while the University of Washington requires a more lengthy activity section, which would be easier to complete with a resume in hand.

Mercer Island High School students performed exceedingly well on statemandated tests that measure student learning for math, reading, writing and science.

The tests, called Measurements of Student Progress (MSP), for grades 3 through 8, and the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) indicate that the vast majority of Mercer Island School District students continue to meet or exceed standards for high school learning.

Looking at the percentage of 10th grade students at or above standard at Mercer Island High School, the numbers have improved dramatically in two areas: writing and science since 2002. The percentage of students who met standards for science at 68 percent in 2002-03 jumped to 86 percent in 2010-11. Writing scores for sophomores also

As far as compensation is concerned, staff salaries are to be at one-tenth of one percent of the maximum funded level allowed under applicable law and regulation or stipulated otherwise in a modified agreement.

Both parties acknowledge the district’s need to comply with state compensation limitations.

The Reporter previously reported that the contract passed MIEA members with a 93 percent majority. However, Ellis Reyes, a teacher at West Mercer, said that while that is technically true, it is not a mathematically accurate reflection of the vote.

Reyes said only 31 percent of the union membership voted on the contract — which means that 28.83 percent of the overall membership voted to approve the contract.

Reyes said so few teachers voted because the contract ratification meeting was scheduled for 4:15 p.m. on the day before school began, which guaranteed a low turnout.

Ellis said West Mercer had an open house and supply drop-off event scheduled for the primary grades at 4 p.m., which prevented any of those teachers from attending a 4:15 meeting.

...there is still so much to discover!

Driving around the high school this fall, passersby may see packs of students running the streets. Those students, members of the 140-strong cross country team, take full advantage of Island sidewalks and parks during the fall, hoping the practice will lead to strong season results.

“We have all of our girls returning. The varsity squad is all returning girls.

The varsity boys have one returning. We graduated six seniors from the varsity team. So we have really a young team on the boys side,” said returning cohead coach Tony Scaringi.

He, along with Erica Hill, will help direct the teams this fall.

For the boys team, the younger members are a definite plus.

“The freshman, they are really engaged and involved, more so than I’ve seen in the past,” said senior boys captain Alex Mesher. “We have a great future for the teams.”

In the first several weeks, Scaringi said they have been focused on running technique and simply helping kids find their place on the team, because there are so many.

“We’ve been working a lot on good pack running,” said girls captain Lindsay Benster.

“It’s going to be a very good season,” agreed Mikayla Davis, another of the girls’ captains.

Islanders earn first victory over Newport

By Linda Williams Rorem Special to the Reporter

On one of the most spectacularly clear and warm nights of this delayed summer, the MIHS Islanders played one of their strongest games in recent memory, shutting out the Newport Knights 29-0 in the first half and finishing the game 36-21.

For Mercer Island quarterback Jeff Lindquist, the victory was all the more sweet because “going into the game, I had never beat Newport, and I’ve been playing against them since I was in fifth grade.”

The varsity squad had not conquered Newport since 2004.

Lindquist was especially ready to revenge last year’s 28-21 loss against the Knights, when, with five seconds left to play, he was sacked.

Last night, “We came out swinging, and that worked for us,” Lindquist said.

Indeed. Just three-and-ahalf minutes into the game, senior Phil Frazier ran the ball in after a series of plays that also involved junior Risley Lesko and senior Connor Bernal.

And then, less than a minute later, junior Brian

Rauzi recovered a fumble on Newport’s 18-yard line, and Lindquist eventually carried it in from the 5-yard line, bringing the score to 14-0.

Not long afterwards, Mercer Island recovered another fumble, and after a series of runs, senior Eric Stefanchik scored. A twopoint conversion notched the score up to 22-0, just halfway into the first quarter.

“Those two turnovers really set us up well,” Lindquist said.

Lindquist and his teammates spent much of the week focusing on lessons learned from last week’s CenturyLink Field opener against Seattle Prep, in which they lost by one point (36-35) in overtime, following a jaw-dropping second-half comeback.

“The loss last week gave us a little more focus,” says Lindquist. “We were that close to winning last week, and we wanted to make sure that stuff doesn’t happen again.” Also, he credited a strong offense line to the Islanders’ success.

“The O-line had a great game,” he said. “They work really well together. I can trust the guy to my right and the guy to my left, and just focus on my assignment.”

l is among St. Helena Hospita ls selected by the 1% of hospita l Review for Becker’s Hospita thopedic having “Great Or s” Program

In the second quarter, Mercer Island still looked strong. Following two more Frazier carries (he ended the night with 20), Lindquist eventually ran the ball in, just over three minutes into the period. Senior Parker Scott blocked a long pass by Newport quarterback Isaac Dotson, and the team held Newport to 29-0 in the first half.

Frazier, who rushed for a career-high 104 yards, “is an animal,” said Lindquist. “He’s a tough-as-nails kind of kid.”

Unfortunately, the game started to get away from Mercer Island in the third quarter.

“It does happen, although you hope it won’t,” said Lindquist. A couple of unfortunate penalties set the Islanders back, and a few led to fourth-down turnovers.

“We just needed to go out and [continue to] do what we needed to do,” said Lindquist.

Islanders win tournament The Mercer Island U13 girls select FC Force ‘98 team recently won the Sky River tournament in Monroe.

The team, won the tournament, were undefeated, shutting out all opponents on the field. The team beat Seattle United NE 1-0 in the title game.

The Knights scored with 7:23 left in the third quarter, although the Islanders prevented the two-point conversion. As the end of the quarter neared, after an outstanding Islander drive, Lindquist ran the ball in from the 2-yard line. The extra point was good, raising the score to 36 to 6.

Newport scored twice more in succession early in the fourth quarter, but the remainder of the game was scoreless, ending at 36-21.

Lindquist rushed for 115 yards; he had three touchdowns on 19 carries. In the air, he completed 14 of 31 passes (one for a touchdown), for a total of 149 yards.

The Islanders are already looking forward to next week’s game against Juanita, Friday at 7 p.m. — their first home game. Lindquist thinks they have a solid chance of winning that, and any, of the season’s remaining games.

The team includes: Kayla Tsang, Bella Johnson, Samantha Mills, Anna Gallagher, Camryn Steiner, Lily Peet-Martel, Gabi Kasman, Sydney Montague, Anneka Allard, Nikole Phan, Samantha Pillsbury, Kate Miller, Kate Daugherty, Maile Moll, Josie Blakeslee, Hanna Noren and Kelsy Scalan. The team is coached by James Allard and Eric Mills.

Help and healing for Peru

By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com

Dr. Cheryl Hayes specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, the medical specialty concerned with diagnosing, evaluating and treating patients with physical disabilities. It took two years to plan, but Hayes and her husband Leo Catallo, son Matt Catallo, and three other young men, Brian Sedlacek, Carlos Barrios and Sam Mildeberger, recently returned from a medical mission in Peru.

All four boys are seniors this year at Mercer Island High School. The group was outside of Lima, the capitol of Peru, where they set up exam rooms in part of a Catholic mission.

The gates opened up every morning and the patients lined up. They treated 1,150 patients in a little over four

days.

Hayes said she and 29 other physicians from all over the world were doing orthopedic procedures using a technique called prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is also known as non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a treatment for chronic pain.

Prolotherapy uses a 5 percent dextrose (sugarwater) solution, which is injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. The solution also includes sodium chloride and a numbing agent, lidocaine.

The injection causes a localized inflammation in these weak areas, which then increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself.

Hayes said it’s not a mainstream procedure, and her

Niel met me at truffle called rocky road

first purpose was to introduce prolotherapy to the Peruvian doctors and other physicians on the mission.

“You need to have a good understanding of anatomy and be fearless of needles,” Hayes said. “This operates more on a principle of natural healing.”

Historical review shows that a version of this technique was first used by Hippocrates on soldiers with dislocated, torn shoulder joints. He would stick a hot poker into the joint, and it would then miraculously heal. Doctors don’t use hot pokers today, but the principle is similar — get the body to repair itself.

Leo Catallo works for SonoSite in Bothell, a company that makes handcarried and mountable ultrasound equipment. He brought ultrasound equip-

truffles. I was then shown the delicate trays that are hand designed and crafted by multiple people to get the designs perfected.

These dome shapes are reminiscent of a glamorous art deco age of the roaring 1920s and the early days of ageless architecture from the days of early chocolate history when the Mayans used cacao as currency.

Upon leaving the test kitchen, we went to a different test kitchen where there were nine vats of chocolate containers slowly melting chocolate. Can you imagine modern double broilers the size of a Smart car

Contributed Photo

From left, Sam Mildeberger, Carlos Barrios, Matt Catallo and Brian Sedlacek fill syringes while on a medical mission recently in Peru. Catallo’s parents were also on the trip. His mother, Dr. Cheryl Hayes, was the medical director, and his father, Leo Catallo, makes the diagnostic machines they brought with them. ment with him to use for directing the injections and to image parts of the body.

He also documented the trip with photos.

ing the solutions and filling the syringes, the size of which could terrify the squeamish, since the injections are delivered close to the bone.

“The whole idea with prolotherapy is to go deep, to the bone almost,” Hayes said.

standing upright? The head chef was mixing the ingredients for the truffle flavor of the day. Truthfully, there are not many ingredients in fine chocolates. All the ingredients are labeled, numbered and coded to ensure the safest of USDA food standards.

On site at Seattle Chocolates is a full-time USDA inspector.

Once the liquid chocolate goes thru a series of machines to get it to its purest form of heaven, it is poured into molds, gently shaken (to allow the air bubbles to escape), vibrated, cooled, and then the

outer layer of chocolate is added. You then have a Frango chocolate. Seattle Chocolates produces all the Frango chocolates for the Northwest.

Seattle Chocolates is working on new flavors and truffles all the time. They have truffles that weigh one ounce and are a true commitment in eating enjoyment.

Speaking of the Mayan culture, the highlight flavor reminds one of a dreamcicle.

Remember the old summer favorite of an orange-flavored dreamcicle ice cream bar. This truffle is a marriage of flavors that just want to make you leap for joy. Upon your first

bite, your smell and taste buds experience a rush of fresh, juicy oranges. Gently as the flavor melts away, you then receive a mild sensation of salt. The salt will slowly dissipate and you will taste a wonderful savory essence of vanilla. Lastly, when you think that your taste buds cannot take anymore, your body slightly warms up with a hint of Chili Maria pepper from the Mayans. This truffle was truly an amazing moment in my chocolate eating experience.

Upon writing this article, they are in the completion phase of their new retail and second store. You should really take a moment and go on a field trip to Tukwila.

Matt Catallo and Sedlacek filled the prolotherapy syringes while Barrios and Mildeberger filled the anesthetic syringes. “We stocked rooms, made sure everything was clean,� Matt Catallo said.

Sedlacek said the needles didn’t bother him at all; in fact, none of the boys “freaked out,� Hayes said.

She said all four did a tremendous job.

Many of the patients were impoverished, but not all were. Sedlacek said he remembers a 7-year-old girl who had a hard time walking. Hayes examined her, had her stand on her tiptoes and found nothing wrong. Then they saw her shoes, which were several sizes too big. The girl’s mother said she really liked those shoes. Hayes told the

mother to put them away for two or three years.

Barrios said a blind man — who fell from a two-story building and messed up his back quite badly — had an effect on him. “He came in and saw us and was pain-free after that,� Barrios said. Barrios, who speaks fluent Spanish, also served as a translator when needed. A partially deaf woman named Sophia, with back problems, was able to touch her toes after prolotherapy and was all smiles. “That was the most rewarding for me,� Barrios said.

Hayes said Peruvians are tough people. Where they were, most of the work is in construction or other industrial occupations. She said the people are small in stature, but stocky and strong.

All four boys are turning this experience into

their culminating projects for their senior year.

Barrios, Mildeberger and Sedlacek are all thinking of a career in medicine, while Matt Catallo wants to become an attorney. The family knows the Peruvian consulate, so the group did get to observe the Peruvian Congress and meet some of the Congressmen while they were there.

Catallo will be comparing the Peruvian government to the U.S. government for his senior project.

Sedlacek plans to focus his project on the work they did at the clinic and prolotherapy. Barrios intends to write about how he was able to apply his Spanish skills to something truly useful, and Mildeberger is planning to focus on the culture shock he experienced, working in the clinic and comparing how different his life is from the lives he witnessed.

headlines and the violence everywhere.

Hear God whisper in the silence, “Don’t despair, I’m in control.

Hurting hearts and broken cities will at last one day be whole.�

God recalls that tragic Tuesday when twin towers disappeared, when three thousand people perished and our hearts were numbed by fear.

Yet God whispers ten years later, “Justice will in time be done.

I will stand with those who need me ’till my Kingdom fully comes.�

God invites us to be trusting when we find that faith is hard.

When we’re fearful for our safety and our nerves are frayed or jarred.

Still God whispers in the silence, “Even when your faith is weak, I will keep your feet from stumbling when your way is dark and bleak.�

An ancient Hebrew poet composed a hymn for an insecure nation that offers a similar theme. While you don’t know the tune, it’s likely you know the words. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.� (Psalm 46:1-2 NIV).
