The feared “Snowpocalypse� may have missed Bellevue on Wednesday, but a new foe emerged for residents the following day: freezing rain that covered the earlier snowfall in a sheet of ice. The conditions further complicated an already dangerous commute Thursday morning. The National Weather Service in Seattle issued a Winter Weather Warning for an ice storm with freezing rains through noon Thursday and Bellevue expected to receive accumulations of up to one-half inch of freezing rain. If there was good news in the week, it was that forecasts predicted rain
showers today with high temperature into the 40s. As the storm hit Wednesday, thousands of people in Bellevue and throughout the state took the day off. “It was nice how many people heeded the advice to stay home today (Wednesday),� said Bellevue Utilities Deputy Director Mike Jackman. “It makes a huge difference in being able to get out and do the snow plowing and deicing.� Snow began falling in Bellevue at around 2 a.m. Wednesday, but crews were already out arming the city with rounds of deicing material and salt. Jackman said plows followed the city’s priority map, but the snow fell so rapidly Wednesday that many of the main roads still became covered. The

Interlake senior a finalist in national saxophone competition BY GABRIELLE NOMURA Bellevue Reporter
You’d be hard-pressed to find Kanye West or Jay-Z on this Interlake High School student’s iPod. Instead, 18-year-old Andrew Nelson listens to obscure classical saxophone music, among other things. The senior in Interlake’s gifted program is a finalist in this year’s North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA) Young Artist Competition to be held at Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Arizona State University, March 15-18. The musician was in All-National Honor Band 2011. He’s placed first and second at local and state competitions. In addition to his school’s jazz and marching bands, he formed his own sax quartet with his friends. And that’s not even the half of his

accomplishments. While he normally practices 10 hours a week, he will be upping the practice time to gear up for the NASA. Out of the 19 students who applied for the competition, Nelson was one of seven finalists who will compete for first, second or third place. The saxophonist admits his beloved instrument belongs in its own niche. He says it’s not the “bright, screaming, high sound� people recognize from jazz music. He uses a different mouthpiece to create a classical music sound that’s “darker.� Nelson got into music at age 4, starting with the piano.

Drivers got a free ride across the State Route 520 bridge Tuesday morning following a glitch in the system that tracks drivers. An alarm was triggered just after midnight after sparks began flying from the electrical panels of the equipment, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. Crews spent much of the early morning attempting to correct the error. Tolls were taken between the hours of 5 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. before the decision was made to shut the system down for the team. “They were trying to work on it all night and they eventually brought it all down because it was shorting out,� said WSDOT spokeswoman Patty Michaud. Michaud said the system was down until approximately 11 a.m. before crews were able to fix it. Drivers who crossed the bridge after crews shut down the system will not be charged. Drivers who have a Good To Go account can check online to see if they were charged a toll. WSDOT said it sometimes takes a few hours for toll charges to appear in accounts. Drivers who do not have an account will need to wait a week or two to see if the toll is included on their Pay By Mail bill. WSDOT said it is unknown how many transactions were lost during the outage. The agency will investigate the cause of the issue, as well as who might be responsible for lost toll revenue.

o, Walmart is coming to Bellevue. Two stores, actually. From comments filling our website, apparently this means the world is about to end. The giant retailer will open a grocery store in the Kelsey Creek Center on Main Street and 148th Avenue and a regular merchandise store in the former Mervyn’s location at the south end of Factoria Mall. Both of these will be a plus for the community. The Kelsey Creek Center location has been an eyesore for years, even since Kmart left. All that remains are a number of small shops along the south side of the property and a mass of bumpy asphalt for a parking lot. Talk to merchants there and you’ll find that they can’t have the Walmart grocery store come soon enough since it will bring people, some of whom, they hope, will become customers in their stores. As for Factoria, it’s been struggling for years. Mall owners have improved the look inside the mall, but nothing can change the fact that anchor tenants are necessary for success. Yes, Target is there, as are a few well-known specialty retailers (Nordstrom Rack, DSW, TJMax and Old Navy, etc.). But those don’t bring the high traffic that Walmart will – customers who can spill over to help smaller merchants. A number of people criticize Walmart for not paying high wages or providing significant health benefits to its employees. That may be true, but there are few large, international companies that rise to the level of Costco or Microsoft. Even Microsoft, with its billions in the bank, is now asking its employees to pay part of their health insurance. What too many seem to forget is that not everyone lives in Sommerset or along the lake in a Medina mansion. There are more – lots more – people living in modest homes in East Bellevue. In many of those homes, the kids qualify for free or reduced lunches. For these families, life is a day-to-day struggle for survival. For them, Walmart gives them a better chance of making ends meet. There’s also some criticism that the city of Bellevue is somehow to blame for not keeping Walmart’s from coming here. We’d like to think they are kidding, but we’re afraid they’re not. Do we really want government officials picking and choosing who is allowed to open shop in Bellevue? We expect that those who say “yes” will be the first to be outraged when a company they like and want doesn’t make the cut. We expect Walmart to be a good neighbor – as it has where it has opened other stores. It will provide jobs – several hundred of them. Even in affluent Bellevue, there are many people who will jump at a chance to get a job - and a paycheck. The Walmart at Kelsey Creek Center is expected to open later this year. The Walmart at Factoria should open sooner. Our final word to Walmart: Welcome to Bellevue.

UW policy flawed So is this the UWs new outreach program? Level 3 sex offenders? Child molesters no less! UW spokesman Norm Arkans says, “He didn’t think the UW could deny the men an education.” Why not? Every year the UW denies education to literally thousands of deserving high school seniors with grade points of 3.8 g.p.a. or better. I think Mr. Arkans should be compelled to explain to this group why two convicted child molesters in their 40s are more deserving of a UW education than they are. Asinine decisions like this make the UW look ridiculous. As a graduate I’m embarrassed.

Act like grownups What is it with Congress? The president and Senate wanted a one-year extension on the payroll tax. But then the Senate sends the House a twomonth extension on the tax. So we have the political games to see who can blink first and embarrass their party. To give some relief to the American people, the House blinked first and gave in to a two-month extension. That is like a company telling their employees we will hire you for two months. We will tell you in 60 days if we are going to keep you on for another two months. How can employees plan their lives on that kind of idiotic logic? It is time Congress and the president act like big boys and girls, and quite jerking around
the American people with their stupid gamesmanship. It is not about the political party, it is about building our county into a strong free enterprise county that can continue to be an example and leader to the free world.
Larry Brickman, Bellevue
Electing a mayor While Bellevue citizens are able to elect members of the city council, never have the people been given the ability to choose their own mayor and deputy mayor, a responsibility that has been delegated unto the council itself. As a result, the City’s “council-manager” type of government has created largely symbolic titles out of the mayor and deputy mayor positions, rather than seats with real meaning and substantive political domain. Short terms have turned mayoral elections into more of a game of “whose turn is it to be mayor?” and exercises to satisfy unfulfilled obligations or even favoritism. Even more dangerous is the potential partisanship the system creates, as often the council majority might pick one of its own in manner of certain ideological agreement. In a time of big decisions for the city’s future, the people should be granted the power of direct democracy, and choose a mayor that can lead and guide the city.

City pay increase Regarding the story: “Bellevue workers get cost of
living adjustment,” I find it interesting that city of Bellevue employees get a 3.3 percent to 3.7 percent cost of living wage increase while state employees will suffer yet another year of 3 percent pay cut. All this while Bellevue is facing a $6.5 million deficit. It has been at least six years since state employees got a COLA. Oh, the state employees who live in Bellevue can help pay the city COLA.
Jerry Liszak, Bellevue
Postal service need public’s help It’s been an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Bellevue for the last 30 years. I would like to let the people of Bellevue know that the employees don’t like the crisis we face and don’t want to see service cut any further. We don’t want you to have to wait longer in line to purchase or mail things; we don’t want our quality of service to drop either as is being considered. We need your help in convincing Congress to repeal punitive legislation that is the current reason for our financial situation. No other business or government agency has to prepay their future retiree health care to the tune of $5.5 billion a year. This requirement forces us to prefund 75 years in a 10-year window. We’ve lost money ever since it was imposed in 2006. Take that away and we’d have a surplus and wouldn’t be forced to slash service via closing post offices, laying off and basically ruining a service that many citizens use and rely on.

A down economy is supposed to lead to contraction, but don’t tell that to Matt and Dan Phillips. The father and son duo recently opened their fifth Batteries Plus franchise in the state, this one on 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 20th Street in Bellevue. It took hours of extra work, and some savvy changes, but the family team has built a stable nest egg of franchises, many of which were born out of the terrible economy. “During the recession period a lot of people are fixing and prolonging the life of their devices by replacing batteries rather than buying new ones,” said Matt Phillips, now the general manager of the five franchises. Matt’s father, Dan, owns five of the 13 locations in the state. Matt Phillips joined the business in 2004, after several years in the real estate industry. Tired of being stuck in a cubicle, Phillips began working in his father’s Olympia store before climbing the ladder. He helped push a renewed commitment to a breadth of product in the stores and quick turnaround on orders that helped launch the family to success. The stores carry more than 30,000 types of batteries, and 10,000 kinds of light bulbs. Anyone can buy a battery online, Matt Phillips said, but customers count on the expertise to make sure it is the right one. The stores offer testing of the batteries before sale as well because, Phillips said, batteries are like fruit – they are perishable. With a background and connections in real estate, the Phillipses were able to take advantage of the poor market to acquire inexpensive rent for the newest store. The Bellevue store opened
A background in real estate helped Matt Phillips and his father take advantage of good rents for their business locations. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter on Black Friday last year, and it has already seen 20 percent higher sales in its first two months than the Tukwila store saw during the same period two years ago. Among the five stores, the Phillipses have been able to employ 25 people. Stores range as high as five employees, all of whom are full time. “We want to make sure that because we expect our staff to be trained and knowledgeable, and that takes time, they are making a living wage and be taken care of,” Matt Phillips said. Phillips said they had been looking to get into the Seattle area for some time. As the economy
crashed and rents dropped, the family saw its window, and hasn’t looked back. This level of success took full commitment to the business, Phillips said. He said the corporate structure of Batteries Plus gives the franchise owners everything they need to succeed, but that doesn’t make it easy. “If you’re not cultivating an atmosphere of customer service and sales and you cant spend time to stock and maintain property inventory, you can fail in this business.”

Now that we’re more than halfway through January and you’re about to give up on your New Year’s resolutions, consider this an attempt to reassure you that you’ve made the right decision. Resolutions don’t usually work. I decided not to set any this year, which is why I’ve paid attention to the writers whose views support my decision. The most common argument deployed against resolutions is that we don’t follow them, at least not for long, usually because what we hope to achieve calls for replacing
old habits with new ones. Recently I read about a study which showed that habit changes take anywhere from 18 to 254 days. Here’s what happens: many people’s resolutions target weight loss; 254 days is too long to live without chocolate; there goes the resolution. I’ve found that I’ve been more successful losing weight in the past year without resolutions. There are many reasons for this, but one is that I didn’t set a target, create deadlines or put undue pressure on myself, all things I associate with failed past resolutions. A few writers do have positive things to say about adopting resolutions, especially ones that focus more on serving our families and communities, than on personal gain. In “Thirty Thousand Days,” a publication of the ToDo Insti-

If you crossed the newly-tolled 520 bridge the past few weeks without a Good to Go pass, it’s time to pay up. WSDOT sent 19,000 bills for drivers crossing the bridge. WSDOT officials said the number may seem high, but tolling equipment is prepared to send out as many as 40,000 bills per day on the bridge. “The number of Good To Go drivers crossing the bridge has exceeded our expectations,� said WSDOT Toll Director Craig Stone. “Our goal was to have 50 percent of vehicles using a Good To Go pass, and thanks to our customers, we have surpassed that number. This past Friday, 70 percent of drivers had Good To Go passes. While pay by mail is a great option for those who choose it, we would like to see more drivers saving $1.50 each time they cross the bridge rather than getting a bill in the mail.� WSDOT is mailing the first toll bills to drivers who
crossed the bridge between Dec. 29, 2011 and Jan. 4, 2012. The higher rate covers the extra processing costs required to generate each bill. Drivers can pay their toll bill online, by phone at 1-866-936-8246, by mail or in person at a customer service center in Seattle, Bellevue or Gig Harbor. Drivers who use SR 520 at least once a month are encouraged to open a Good To Go account to save $1.50 in tolls each time when crossing in the future. Current account holders received electronic statements in the mail last week that reflected their toll charges using the Good To Go pass or using Good To Go pay by plate. Drivers pay an extra 25 cents per crossing when using Pay By Plate.

While he’s keeping an open mind about where he will end up, having applied to schools across the U.S., scouts from music schools will attend the NASA, so it could prove to be a defining moment for the teen. In addition to music, Nelson is interested in studying the humanities, English or Philosophy. “No matter what I end up doing for college, music will always be a part of my life,� he said.

Since then, he’s put his high school years to good use, music-wise. Nelson was one of five students from Interlake who created and executed the Eastside Battle of the Bands to raise money for arts education. In the past two years of the battle’s existence, Nelson and his fellow musicians were able to raise $10,000 for arts programs in schools.

Bellevue College will host two “Science Saturdays” this winter. The challenging three-hour sessions are filled with hands-on science, math and engineering activities for students in 5th, 6th and 7th grades. Each session is taught by a Bellevue College professor. Both sessions will be held on Bellevue College’s main campus at 3000 Landerholm Circle SE. On Jan. 28, from 1-4 p.m., Professor Carole Berg will teach a session called “Chemistry.” Students will learn about alternative energy sources and use a chemical process to turn used vegetable oil into biodiesel. They will even get to observe the creation of a flaming snowball. The registration deadline is Jan. 25. On Feb. 11, also from 1-4 p.m., Professor Frank Lee will lead a session titled “Material Stress Analysis.” Students will learn about force, stress, strain and material properties, and then put this knowledge into action by breaking material objects, analyzing the results, and predicting the strength of a beam. The registration deadline is Feb. 8. Each session costs $50 (financial assistance is available for those who qualify). All supplies, along with a healthy snack, are included in the tuition. To register, visit http:// scidiv.bellevuecollege.edu/ sami/sciencesaturdays to print the registration form. Registration is on a first come, first served basis. Although the sessions are designed for kids in grades 5-7, children in other grades may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. More information is available by contacting Kate Souza at 425-564-3055 or Kathryn.souza@bellevuecollege.

Abdul-Aziz: I have six kids and they have never caused me a problem.
That’s the axiom so often recited when it comes to success in sports, fine arts and so many other aspects of childhood. Sports in particular have taken the notions of year-round and individualized training from a young age to another level in the past 25 years; since Marv Marinovich was attempting to finely craft his son, Todd, into the Robo-Quarterback. But even among all the inflated expectations and distorted perceptions, even the most crazed sports parent looks tame when contrasted with the average pageant mom. When my fianc√©e rousts the remote Josh Suman away long enough to dial up something other than ESPN, we often land in the world of reality TV. The TCL (wasn’t there a time when that stood for, The Learning Channel?) train wreck Toddlers and Tiaras became an instant classic the first time I watched a three year old pop, lock and drop it in a plaid mini-skirt and leggings while her mom prompted from the crowd. My initial reaction was of course a mix of horror and disbelief. But as I watched more, the fake tanning sessions full of tears and “contestants” that are carried across the stage in swimwear because they are still crawling proved time and again why pageants are so wonderfully horrendous. Many of the themes from sports are mirrored in pageants and visa versa. Families travel between neighboring states and sometimes farther, looking for the best competition and most high-profile events. But thankfully sports fans, there is one major difference. Money. While youth sports leagues and pageants both require registration fees to cover overhead costs, the latter goes a step beyond. Unlike Little League, Pop Warner football or even the most sordid of sports organizations, AAU basketball, pageants have prize money. Imagine how that would play out on your local Little League diamond. Your team of second-graders makes the playoffs in basketball? Everyone gets $100. Win a baseball tournament? $250. Sounds like a plan to me. Usually the prize money is negligible, the dividends of whatever is left after the planning committee for the pageant proves how legitimate the contest is by decorating the local Holiday Inn Express conference room with colorcoordinated streamers, balloons and plastic crowns. But on the latest episode, the contest featured participants up to age 20 and a grand prize of $10,000. So next time you hear someone fretting over the amount of exposure we are giving the 11 and 12 year olds at the Little League World Series (kids that had to first make their local team and then survive roughly two months of tournaments with the best teams from their state and region), just remind them: it could be worse.

REPORTER Q/A | Zaid Abdul-Aziz (Don Smith) Zaid Abdul-Aziz (Don Smith) played in the NBA for 10 seasons from 1968-1978 for the Cincinnati Royals, Milwaukee Bucks, Houston Rockets, Buffalo Braves, Boston Celtics and two stints with the Seattle Sonics after finishing his undergraduate degree and NCAA playing career at Iowa State. Abdul-Aziz earned Big 8 (currently the Big 12) Player of the Year honors for the 1967-78 season for the Cyclones as a senior and was named to the All-Conference Team on three occasions. After a childhood in Brooklyn that included a tenuous home life, Abdul-Aziz blossomed at Iowa State University after overcoming a difficult adjustment from the New York City public school system to a major university. He would eventually graduate from Iowa State in 1970 with a degree in sociology and continue his education with graduate study at Seattle University. Since retiring from the NBA, Abdul-Aziz has written an autobiography entitled “Darkness to Sunlight,” which was released in 2006. He also operates youth basketball camps in Bellevue. He took some time to chat with the Reporter after speaking Monday at Crossroads Bellevue mall at a celebration for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com
You once scored 33 points against UCLA and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
Zaid Abdul-Aziz, formerly Don Smith, has written a book, “Darkness to Sunlight.” He played in the NBA for 10 seasons. COURTESY PHOTO which was obviously during the era of the great John Wooden. Take me back to that night. Abdul-Aziz: That had been etched on my calendar for a couple years, ever since I found out we were going to play them when I was a sophomore. I couldn’t wait for that game. When I went out there, just to go to Pauly Pavilion was incredible. The game was pretty close in the first half, then they blew us out. They were the number one team in the country and had a lot of weapons. John Wooden said me and Elvin Hayes were the greatest players to ever play against Kareem. To have the great John Wooden say I was a good player says a lot. I really relished him saying that. Reporter: You were honored as a three-time Big 8 All-Conference selection, won the Player of the Year award your senior year and had a 10-year career in the NBA. What is the thing you are most proud of?
Abdul-Aziz: One thing I take a lot of pride in, I was never late to a plane, I was never late to a bus and I never missed a game as far as what I was supposed to do. I was really proud of that. A lot of guys today don’t show up to practice or don’t make the plane. I think the difference in the players of today, I think we played better defense and were more unselfish. We moved the ball, hit the open man. Today, I think people just keep the ball. A guy gets the ball and is pounding it and pounding it and other people are just looking around. Reporter: You are doing public speaking engagements and have previously worked in drug and alcohol addiction counseling. Why is it important to you to be involved with youth?

Bellevue senior wrestler Jimmy Trull (220) and freshman Christian Villani (113) both captured another tournament title on Saturday at the Jack Reynolds Tournament at Mercer Island High School. The championship is the fifth straight for Trull and the third straight for Villani.

They say, “it takes a village to raise a child� and I’m responsible for helping people raise their kids because that’s how I grew up. Back in New York, if I did something wrong, my neighbor found out and there were more guidelines. We have to help each other to raise our families. Reporter: Having played with the Sonics two separate times and obviously living in the area still, what were your thoughts when the team was taken to Oklahoma City? Abdul-Aziz: I was really sad. Kevin Durant was wearing my number. I had a lot of parallels in playing to him, he reminds me of myself, we have the same type of game. When they left, I really felt sad that the
Trull, ranked number one by Washington Wrestling Report with a mark of 21-2, pinned Tyler Wallace of Yelm at the 2:36 mark in the tournament final, avenging an earlier season loss to Wallace at the White River Tournament. His only other loss came to defending class 3A heavyweight champion Josh Mitchell of Mt. Si. Christian Villani beat Matt Iwicki from Eastside Catholic by decision 8-1. Villani is currently ranked second for the 2012 state title and is 19-1 on the season. Other Bellevue medalists included senior Andy Ewing (126) who placed third, and senior Ben Matteucci (132) and junior Jamey Mange (185) each capturing fourth place. Bellevue finished sixth place overall without senior wrestlers Peter Ovens and Colin Small.
people who are great basketball fans were losing their team. Even when I didn’t play for the Sonics, I always looked forward to coming to Seattle to play. I thought it was a very good city to play, in fact, it was my second favorite place to play. My first was Madison Square Garden. Reporter: So I have to ask, why are you wearing that Oklahoma City Thunder hat? Abdul-Aziz: I was on my way to Atlanta to see my daughter and on the left side of the airplane I saw a little boy sitting there with a Thunder hat on. I was teasing him and asked him where he was from. He said Oklahoma City so I told him “you stole my team.� He saw I was kidding around. They were some really nice kids, so I took a picture of me and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and signed it for them. I went in the back and fell asleep and two hours later when we landed, there were like 12 people standing there in the waiting area. A guy walked

thing a lot of people thought was, “he hates white people.�
Reporter: In your book, there is a story about the reasoning behind your change in religion and name. Can you talk more about what Kareem had to do with those changes?
Abdul-Aziz: When a person writes a book he kind of becomes that book. I was going to call it, Life’s Full Court Press, but I was talking to my wife and she didn’t know what a full court press was. My wife thought of the name Darkness to Sunlight. There’s a lot of darkness and sunlight in my book. One was when I went from New York to Iowa, from black society to white society. I’ve never been a dinner table with my mom there and my dad here, I don’t know what that is. Now, I have six kids, I went away from that darkness and came to sunlight with my own family.
Abdul-Aziz: I was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks and I was a Christian, but I never went to church. I just wore a cross because that’s what I did. One day, Kareem came over to me and asked, “what’s that around your neck?� I knew whatever I found to be true from those books were what I would become. I never criticize religions, I just tell people what I believe. In the 1960s, there was a lot of confusion. When people heard “Muslim,� the first

sification recount decided the moves would offer the highest level of competitive equity and preserve as many traditional rivalries as possible within the divisions, according to Eastlake AD Brent Kawaguchi. “It’s been thrown out there a lot,� Kawaguchi said. “But we needed to know right away because of football, because those games are at a premium.� Newport Athletic Director Gill James said a premi-
um was placed on transportation costs and preserving traditional rivalries within the school districts. Competitive equity was another factor taken into consideration, but brought along complications in projecting the future of any given team at a particular school. There is already a preliminary plan in place to pair the Lake Washington School District schools (Redmond and Eastlake) with Ballard, Roosevelt
January 20, 2012 [13]
and Garfield when the next WIAA reclassification count comes up before the 2014-15 school year begins. When Lake Washington dropped to 3A for the current two-year WIAA cycle, Garfield shifted divisions to create the current alignment. While the Bulldogs’ move was not initially part of a larger plan to create a two-year rotating cycle by the KingCo ADs, that is exactly what will happen. “It makes sense,� James said of the two year rotating cycle of divisions within the conference. “In an eight year window, everyone will
have had everyone in their division.� The changes in the 4A divisions come along with some shifts in classifications for 2A and 4A schools, as Lake Washington and Sammamish will both drop to 2A and Interlake will move back to 3A beginning with the 2012-13 school year.
Current Divisions: Crown- Garfield, Ballard, Roosevelt, Bothell, Inglemoor, Woodinville; Crest- Redmond, Eastlake, Newport, Issaquah, Skyline

REPORTER ARTFUL VENEERS For patients with tooth imperfections, resin bonding provides an effective and affordable means of remedying tooth discolorations, gaps, and chips. However, porcelain veneers are superior in terms of strength, durability, and aesthetics. These factors may make porcelain veneers preferable to bonding for correcting tooth defects, particularly in the most visible teeth. In addition, porcelain veneers may be used to lengthen a tooth and to give the illusion that malpositioned teeth are straighter. The veneers are rigid shells that are firmly attached to outer tooth surfaces once the surfaces have been prepared to accept them. This preparation consists of removing a thin layer of enamel and etching the surface. Usually three office visits are required for the entire process.

Before I saw the new film, The Iron Lady, I was expecting to see the dramatic advancement of Margaret Thatcher, a grocery-owner’s daughter, into one of the most influential women of her time as she became the Prime Minister of Great Britain. In actuality, the film tells an extremely different story. I was very disappointed that the film chose to focus solely on Thatcher’s old age and the negative aspects of her life and character. The movie often emphasizes

As the unsuspecting romantic prospects begin to arrive and family members each discover the increasing number of guests, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the “quiet weekend� comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale.
