When Sara Ptacek was born with a rare genetic condition, her doctors said she wouldn’t live past age three. Nearly 33 years later, Sara continues to flourish - something her father Bill Ptacek says it has a lot to do with her involvement in the community. Sara, who is confined to a wheelchair, has always been part of the Bellevue community. She went to Bellevue public schools, visits the Bellevue Arts Museum and goes to church with her family every Sunday. “We really envision a life for her that is not just at home, but out in the community,” Ptacek said. That’s why Bellevue’s proposed Inspiration Playground - an interactive, sensoryfocused project planned for Downtown Park - is so important to the Ptacek family. This Saturday, Sept. 29, people from all

Sponsored by the Bellevue Rotary Club and the city of Bellevue, that have partnered to bring the plan to fruition, the event will take place at the park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The goal of the expo is to raise awareness of, and familiarity with, people with disabilities. The event will also include a number of interactive “discovery” stations, music, entertainment and food vendors. Improvements to the Downtown Park playground, which was last renovated in 2003, were already on the docket for the Parks Department before the Bellevue Rotary Club, currently headed by President Robert Rose, approached the city with the Inspiration Park proposal. “It’s kind of Rotary’s legacy project for the

Residents will have a chance to comment on which locations Sound Transit should study to determine the best possible spot for a new rail yard for East Link light-rail cars. The agency has identified five options in its early scoping documents, four of which are in Bellevue. ■ West of 120th Avenue Northeast and east of the BNSF tracks ■ Between 130th Avenue Northeast and 136th Avenue Northeast and south of State Route 520 ■ Between Northup Way and the planned light-rail in the Bel-Red corridor ■ West of 148th Avenue Northeast and north of Northeast 20th Street ■ West of the Lynnwood Transit Center Sound Transit spokesman Geoff Patrick said the locations are Bellevue heavy because the areas fit the requirements of large swaths of land (approximately 20 to 25 acres), are rectangular in shape and flat, and near light-rail track. More sites in the north were not examined, Patrick said, because much of the line travels underground or along Interstate 5. Areas in the south would be too far from downtown, and the north and east corridors, he said. The open house in Bellevue will be Monday, Oct. 8, starting at 4 p.m. at the Highland Community Center, 14224 BelRed Road. Following testimony from residents the Sound Transit board will decide which areas to include in an Environmental Impact Statement, a decision expected to be made Nov. 15. In October 2013, the board will select its preferred site.

COURTESY PHOTO, Mill Creek Multimedia which included being picked up from his home in Everett by a police motorcade, led by Maj. John Manning. Upon arriving at the police station, Gage took part in defensive training tactics – learning to use mace and how to handcuff the “bad guys.” He also took part in gun training, where he used a CO2 handgun and rifle to experience what it’s like to hold and use a real gun. Before heading to lunch, Gage stopped by the department’s forensics lab where he was given a tour of the lab and shown how to process evidence. “These are my absolute favorite wishes to grant,” said Wish Manager Jessie Elenbaas. “When they just want to be something that they wouldn’t be able to do on their own.” Gage, whose wish list also included meeting Pearl

There’s no time to lose in the fight against cancer E

very week, over 100 women in Washington state are diagnosed with breast cancer. Being diagnosed with this disease is as scary as you can imagine. I would know. Two years ago, I was diagnosed. Because I had the unending support of my family, a great job with a compassionate staff, health insurance and – most importantly – an Cheryl Shaw early diagnosis, I was fortunate. For far too many women – and men – in our community, this is not the case. I hear these stories every day. I hear about a woman in Renton, a single parent who received a breast cancer diag-

nosis. Too sick to work full time, she finds it a challenge to just keep a roof over her daughter’s head, let alone afford her cancer treatments. A friend in Bellevue shared a story about her cousin who, lacking health insurance, couldn’t afford to pay for breast cancer screenings. She has just been diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer. When I hear these stories it touches me personally, and it reinforces the urgency of Komen Puget Sound’s mission. Women and families in our community are hurting today. We need to stop this madness, provide the support that they need today and find a cure for breast cancer now. Lives are at stake. There is no time to lose. All of us at Komen Puget Sound bring this personal sense of urgency to the work we do every day, as we have for nearly 20

years. Komen Puget Sound is the single largest provider of breast cancer services to women in Washington state and the largest private provider of free mammograms to low-income women. Last year, Komenfunded mammograms resulted in a breast cancer diagnosis for over 240 women in our community. Our Komen Patient Assistance fund provided financial assistance to over 500 local, low income breast cancer patients, covering their basic needs while they undergo treatment. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, I am even more mindful of all that still needs to be done. Too many of us have lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend to breast cancer. While we at Komen certainly had our share of setbacks early this year, the setbacks have only strengthened our sense of

urgency. We refuse to be distracted. There is too much work to do and too many women who rely on our support. Most importantly many of our donors, sponsors and volunteers understand our urgency and continue to help during this critical time. But it is clear that we need increased support to ensure that every woman faced with breast cancer is not a victim of the setbacks we have experienced. Together we can win our fight and end breast cancer forever. To learn more about Komen Puget Sound and our mission, please visit us online at komenpugetsound.org. And please do so today.

Skyline High School in the Issaquah School District reopened Friday, Sept. 21, after someone made on the Internet to kill students there. A forensic investigation, conducted by the King County Sheriff Office, hit a dead end when a proxy server that hosted the comment could only be traced back to Sweden. Police don’t know if the post originated from a student or even within the United States.

Lake Washington Institute of Technology in Kirkland is one of Washington’s community and technical colleges named as one of the top 15 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools that do the most to ensure the success of military service members, veterans and spouses, according to G.I.

Residents in an Issaquah neighborhood are concerned over a Local Improvement District the city is considering to relieve traffic by building a major arterial from East Lake Sammamish Parkway to the Costco headquarters. The multi-million dollar project would benefit local businesses, but residents in the neighborhood fear the cost of the LID could force them from their homes. The council has shown to be compassionate in these situations, said Issaquah Councilmember Fred Butler. “The purpose of this is not to create hardship.”

What’s happening in nearby cities

The Kirkland City Council is eyeing a bike-sharing program that it hopes to begin within the next five years. The program would allow residents to share bikes through kiosks strategically located around the city and King County. Seattle is implementing such a system and Kirkland is waiting any kinks to be worked out before starting its own.

Look elsewhere for a rail yard

t’s not surprising that Sound Transit is looking for a site for a rail yard for its light rail cars. However, what’s likely to catch everyone’s breath is the front-page news today that four of five sites for possible study are in the BelRed and/or Northup area. Yikes! There goes the neighborhood. Sound Transit insists that it hasn’t picked a site and that it’s only looking at possible areas to study. The fifth site, by the way, is in Lynnwood. Sound Transit says it needs approximately 20 to 25 acres in a flat, rectangular shape and near light-rail track. Sound Transit says the following Bellevue areas meet those criteria: ■ West of 120th Avenue Northeast and east of the BNSF tracks, ■ Between 130th Avenue Northeast and 136th Avenue Northeast and south of State Route 520 ■ Between Northup Way and the planned light-rail in the Bel-Red corridor ■ West of 148th Avenue Northeast and north of Northeast 20th Street It should be obvious that any site in the Bellevue/Overlake area will come at a price – a very high one. One large flat space west of 148th Avenue Northeast and north of Northeast 20th Street is the Fred Meyer complex. That’s an awfully valuable piece of commercial real estate to turn into a rail yard. The same could be said of land in the Spring District, which is slated to be used for offices, hotels and homes. It’s hard to picture a rail yard being any kind of a fit with these. A number of the Bellevue sites on Sound Transit’s list might have made sense a decade ago when a lot of the land was zoned light industrial. That’s no longer the case as the city sees the Bel-Red corridor better used for mixed highend development. Sound Transit needs to be diligent in examining sites for its rail yard, but the Bel-Red corridor doesn’t appear to be a good fit. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Traditional foods are treaty foods

olluted stormwater runoff is one of the biggest obstacles to salmon recovery and the cleanup of Puget Sound. Scientists have seen adult coho salmon dying within 24 hours of returning to some polluted urban streams in western Washington. In some cases, 60 to 90 percent of the coho are dying before they can spawn. What’s killing the fish? It’s a poison soup of brake pad dust, oil, gasoline and other Billy Frank Jr. pollutants that are washed by rain or melting snow from yards, sidewalks, parking lots and roads, right into our streams and Puget Sound. We need to stop the pollution from getting into our waters in the first place. Prevention is a lot cheaper and more effective in the long run than trying to clean up waters once they are polluted. Development has changed the way rainwater runs off here in western Washington.

Our watersheds were once like giant sponges, absorbing rain in the fall and winter, releasing it slow and steady in the spring and summer. As our watersheds are paved over, rainfall has nowhere to go except downhill. Fast. Winter floods are becoming more intense, causing increased damage to property and salmon habitat, while summer stream flows are becoming too low for salmon returning to spawn. We know there are ways to grow other than those that hurt salmon. The Nisqually Tribe, for example, is working closely with the Eatonville community to reverse its

stormwater impacts on two important salmon tributaries. The aim of the joint project is to completely disconnect the city’s stormwater system from the two rivers. The Tulalip Tribes recently retrofitted a school’s stormwater drains on their reservation with low impact design technology. The state Department of Ecology is working toward a stormwater permitting process to help cities and developers stop polluted runoff from getting into our waters. One way is by requiring low impact development practices that help preserve the natural conditions that

we still have left in our watersheds. These stormwater permits have already been delayed by the political process. They need to move forward, and soon. Puget Sound chinook have been on the Endangered Species Act list for more than a decade, yet there have been no substantial improvements to the environmental laws that got us into the problem to begin with. That needs to change, and the stormwater permitting process is a step in the right direction. Billy Frank Jr. is chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

The great ref debacle of 2012

really didn’t want to write this column. I really shouldn’t write this column. I definitely have to write this column - so let’s just get it over with. On Monday night the Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers in what some might say will be one of the most remembered games in history. For those of you who haven’t been paying attention to Twitter - or the actual news - let me break it down: Trailing 12-7 with eight seconds remaining in the game, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson took the snap, and after running down some time, threw the ball toward the end Keegan Prosser zone. As the ball flew to the left corner, five Packers’ defenders surrounded two Seahawks’ receivers. In the madness that ensued, Packers safety M.D. Jennings seemed to intercept the ball (in the air), as Seahawks receiver Golden Tate, also, seemed to possess the ball. While there are a lot of other gritty details in regard to what happened in the next few seconds, this is what we know for certain: the play was called a touchdown for the Seahawks - and Packers fans got really mad. An avid football fan, I will be the first to admit the

call seems a BIT shady. But do I think the Seahawks “stole” the win? Absolutely not. One of the many wonderful things about football is that it is a man-made sport - and as such, human error plays a huge part in how the game plays out. ■ Fact 1: One call at the end of the game does not override everything else that happened in said game. ■ Fact 2: One call should not overshadow the fact that the Seahawks’ defensive line played one of the most exciting first halves in NFL history (eight sacks). ■ Fact 3: there were a number of calls throughout the game that hurt the Seahawks, too (see: the first down call earlier in the fourth quarter that enabled the Packers to score). ■ Fact 4: The call stands. Whether we like it or not, the call made on the field that day cannot - and will not - be overturned. And whether it’s the replacement refs making inconsistent calls this season, or the actual refs making errors at at Superbowl XL, human error is what makes the games exciting. Do I agree it is time to bring the real refs back? Completely. But do I think all will be well in the football world when they return? I wouldn’t bet on it.

Police investigation to conclude in a month Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo told the Bellevue City Council on Monday, Sept. 24 that events that led to multiple confrontations between three off duty Bellevue police officers, Seattle Police, and a group of fans at Seattle Seahawks game Sept. 16, will be thoroughly investigated. A review of the three officers will take ap-

proximately 30 days to complete, Pillo said, after which time she plans to discipline them. On the afternoon of the 16th, before the Seattle Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field, the group walked by a female Seattle police officer and threw litter on the ground. She asked them to pick up the litter and they turned and confronted her. According to Seattle Police, the Bellevue officers identified themselves.

Finally, a year of tomatoes

www.bellevuereporter.com

y cup, or rather, my Tupperware container, runneth over with tomatoes, bitesized beauties that sing with summer sweetness. Even the big slicers, so heavy they bring the branches to their knees, are at least recognizable as tomatoflavored, although they can’t compete with their dainty counterparts for sugar. Best of all, I can pick all sizes daily from the overflowing plastic pots in my backyard. I know this sounds trivial; after all, thousands, maybe millions of people grow tomatoes at home every summer. But for us it is an astounding accomplishment. Last year our four plants yielded one tomato. My husband documented this with a photo showing a red pinpoint in the center of my palm. The secret of this year’s success was to wait until night temperatures were in the fifties and start with large plants showing off yellow blooms Ann Oxrieder to hint at their real power, like weight lifters demonstrating a bicep curl.

We brought five home, lined them up in a sunny spot, and started to dig into soil that responded like concrete, which is how the typical layers of clay that we call dirt here react to a shovel. Night temperatures then dropped back into the forties. “Let’s replant them in plastic tubs,” my husband said. “They’ll stay warm and we won’t have to jackhammer the hardpan.” This approach in combination with August and September sunshine worked. Thanks to a suggestion from a friend, every day I cut cherry tomatoes in two, slide one half onto a toothpick with a small, fresh mozzarella ball and a basil leaf and add the other half for symmetry. Recently, I learned that tomatoes have more to offer than flavor. A report in the March 7, 2011 Science Daily says, “Eating more tomatoes and tomato products can make people healthier and decrease the risk of conditions such as cancer, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease...” But I associate the shapes, colors, and textures of my tomatoes more with poetry than health, which is why I love “She Spoke of Tomatoes” by Judith Hougen, a delightful homage to her mother and her mother’s tomato gardening rituals.

End of an era

Business Roundup

Businesses and business people making news

Crossroads Mall newsstand closing down after more than 25 years BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

For more than 25 years, visitors to Crossroads have been greeted by the site of the Daily Planet, a comprehensive newsstand that remains in homage to a bygone era in the consumption of newspapers and magazines. Like the near monopolistic dominance of paper news products, the era of the Daily Planet is ending. The popular news stand will close Oct. 3, owner Matthew Collard said this week. Collard, who bought the stand in 1997, said the way people consume their news and information has turned the stand, one of the signature gathering spaces of the eclectic Crossroads Mall into a long-term risk. “It’s not so much the business itself is failing, it’s just that the tide has turned,” he said. “It’s not a sustainable model.” The decision was an agonizing one for Collard, a minister, as he has seen the power of the newsstand. He has gotten to know hundreds of regulars to the mall. Collard, who said he has become a Reach your best prospects with the Bellevue Reporter Delivered every Friday

unknown what will happen to the space. It is one of the most desirable spots in the mall, sandwiched in

between Half-Price Books, a popular Starbucks and the restaurants in the food court. The grief for the popular newsstand has been ongoing among regulars since Collard made the decision. As he mans the register at the booth, several customers express their sadness at the fate of the newsstand. Some ask him why he would do this, while others want to know what will replace it. Collard didn’t know what was going to fill the space, but he felt confident that the ownership group would find a replacement. If worst comes to worst, he said, some more seating would be a good start. Don Erickson, a regular at the mall, has been frequenting the newsstand for as long as it has existed. He said the social interaction he got picking up his paper every day kept him from being a subscriber. “No matter the time of day, there’s always fun people to be with and talk to,” he said. “There is nothing that can really replace it as far as I am concerned.” Nat Levy: 425-453-4290; nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

New Indian restaurant opens at Bellevue Square Moksha features ‘conversation piece’ light designed by Japanese artist Yuri Kinoshita Eastside restaurateur Lakshmi Thanu has opened Moksha restaurant at Bellevue Square. The restaurant features a new style of Indian cuisine, Karaikudi. The new restaurant’s menu is steeped in a long history of Indian cuisine from Thanu’s family, including a new dish to the region, Karaikudi, which features lamb or vegetables stir fried with onion, garlic, tomato, black pepper, curry leaf, red chile and fennel. It is specific to Thanu’s regional home state of Tamil Nadu. In addition to Karaikudi, Moksha’s menu focuses on dishes from both northern and southern regions of India with some dishes from old family recipes.

“We will have a good variety of vegetarian and meat dishes,” says Thanu. “Some dishes may have a slight twist on the traditional versions, but all have a special attention to the unique flavors of my country.” Thanu’s family has opened restaurants around Indian since the 1940’s. “I grew up around food and in the restaurant business,” says Thanu. He came to this country to attend the University of Washington in 1995 and upon graduation worked as a software engineer before pursuing his passion in the restaurant industry. In 2006 he opened the restaurant Spice Route in Crossroads. Moksha is his second restaurant in the region. “I am delighted to continue my family’s tradition of sharing the food I love with the people of my adopted home through our family owned restaurants.” Moksha features a “conversation piece” light designed by Japanese artist Yuri

The bar at the new Moksha restaurant at Bellevue Square. COURTESY PHOTO Kinoshita. A Buddhist, Kinoshita calls this specially fabricated light her “first elephant light” as it is the symbol of Buddha’s Birth. Moksha is located at 515 Bellevue Square, a street front restaurant located on

LetsPour offers wine tastings

On the Town

After hours in Bellevue and elsewhere

Volterra opens in Kirkland

BY SAMANTHA PAK Reporter Newspapers

After about a year of selling wine and beer online, one local business is opening its doors to the local community for educational tasting sessions. LetsPour holds weekly wine tastings at 2887 152nd Ave. N.E. in the Overlake Business Park to not only introduce people to new wines, but also provide information about the featured wines including winery history, winemakers, techniques and processes, regional background and more. Tastings are free and held from 5-7 p.m. every Wednesday. Wine tasters can also purchase any of the wines they try at the tastings. Raghav Kher, founder and chief executive officer of LetsPour, said the tastings were started as a result of feedback from their online customers. “Our customers have been asking for that,” he said. LetsPour, which ships to 36 states, has about 100,000 customer who can purchase products and post ratings

Volterra, an Italian restaurant in Seattle’s Ballard area, will open a restaurant in Kirkland. The restaurant, which features Tuscan-inspired cuisine, will be at 121 Kirkland Ave. Menu items include Oil Soup - named one of Seattle’s Legendary Dishes by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine; Wild Boar Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Mustard Sauce - praised by Rachael Ray; fontina filled Polenta Custard with Wild Mushroom and Truffle Ragu; and numerous pastas. More information is available at www.volterrarestaurant. com

SAMANTHA PAK, Reporter Newspapers and reviews with the rest of the LetsPour community. The company’s tastings are slowly growing, said Laura Parkinson, with the first couple of events bringing in about 35-40 people. One taster, Tony Mandarano, whose company PaidPunch is also located in the Overlake Business Park, said he heard about the LetsPour wine tasting events through an email that was sent to all of the tenants in the complex. He and a few coworkers decided to stop by

and see what was happening. “I went because I was new to the business park and thought it would be a good place to network,” Mandarano said. “The tasting was so great that we ended up buying a whole case of wine.” He has been to two tastings and said they have taught him that there is much to learn about wine. “Prior to attending I knew very little,” Mandarano said.

ing tradition of funding projects all over the country, but the Inspiration Park project is something they wanted to keep local. He adds that partnering with the city – which has agreed to maintain the park - makes this project especially unique. Ptacek said the event on Saturday will be a great opportunity for people to experience a little bit of what life is like for somebody who has a visual impairment or is confined to a wheelchair. Additionally, it will introduce the community to the concept for the playground – a specialized area for children of all abilities.

“The more that people with disabilities are part of the community, then I think, the better our community is going to be,” Bill Ptacek said. In addition to private donations, the Rotary club plans to help pay for the project by funds raised from its annual auction. A member of Rotary International, the Bellevue club also plans to apply for national and international grants. “Sara is one name,” said Sheila Pak, one of Sara’s caretakers. “But there are umpteen others like her.” Like Ptacek, Pak sees the new playground as a great way to help Sara become an even more integral part of the community.

A century of helping neighbors has a new face in Bellevue. The Situation

Five years ago, Jennifer’s husband Brandon was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. While battling cancer, the family had to make many sacrifices. Money was tight, so occasions like holidays and back-to-school shopping took second stage to Brandon’s health. Two years after their struggle began, Brandon passed away and Jennifer was left alone to pick up the pieces of their life.

The Hand Up

“There is nothing scarier than having all eyes on you when tragedy hits, watching to see what you'll do, how you will cope and keep it together,” she shared with us. “It was the support of Bellevue LifeSpring and our community that gave us the hope to get our life back on track despite our emotional and financial struggles.” Bellevue LifeSpring was able to assist Jennifer and her children with clothing and food through the Clothes for Kids and Breaktime/Mealtime programs and their holidays were transformed by a generous sponsor in the Holiday Adopt-a-Family program. “It has been amazing to find out how much help there is for those of us in our community who are facing hardship. There is no reason any family should have to feel desperation or hopelessness for their future,” she said.

Jennifer’s children participated in the Breaktime/Mealtime, Clothes for Kids and Adopt-a-Family programs.

The Outcome

Now, Jennifer is working hard toward independence. She is paying off the debt that accumulated during her husband’s illness and making sure that her children get therapy to help them deal with their father’s death. It’s been a tough road, but with the support of their neighbors, they’re making progress. “Despite everything, I look at my children and feel lucky.”

A man suspected of raping a Bellevue masseuse at knife point has been arrested and booked into King County Jail, police said. The events leading to the arrest began Monday evening when employees at Carnation Massage Clinic in Seattle called 911 to report that a man who recently sexually assaulted a masseuse there had returned. The man attempted to run away but several employees chased him down, and he was arrested shortly after. According to Bellevue police, on Aug. Rape suspect 28, a man scheduled a massage at a business located in the 15200 block of Northeast 20th Street. He made several sexual advances toward the masseuse, which she was not receptive to. After she declined advances, he pulled a knife and allegedly sexually assaulted the woman. Bellevue police are expected to bring charges against the man, Bellevue Police spokeswoman Officer Carla Iafrate said.

Game Day: Seahawks travel to St. Louis 2012 schedule

The Seahawks will be back on the road this week after Monday night’s thrilling and controversial 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers on a Golden Tate touchdown reception with no time remaining. “These games are so important and so hard to come by to get wins,” head coach Pete Carroll said in his Wednesday press conference. It will be a division foe awaiting head coach Pete Carroll’s squad this week in the Edward Jones Dome (10 a.m. PDT, FOX TV, 710 ESPN Radio and 97.3 FM), as the 1-2 St. Louis Rams will look to get back in the division race at the season’s quarter

pole under new head coach Jeff Fisher. The Seahawks have a decided advantage in the run game, with the sixth ranked rushing offense in the NFL at 141.3 yards per game.

them accustomed to daily oral care and regular dental visits.

Help your kids form good habits that will serve them a lifetime.

What chronic disease affects more than 40% of kindergarten-age children? No, it’s not asthma and it’s not hay fever. The answer is tooth decay. In fact, despite being largely preventable, tooth decay is one of the most widespread chronic childhood diseases in America. So how can you help? By helping your kids form strong oral health habits at a young age. Your new Bright Now! Dental office in Bellevue knows it’s hard to get kids excited about oral hygiene, but they are available to help. By following these three simple tips, you can help your child develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. Start early: Experts recommend that brushing begin as early as six months, or as soon as your child’s first tooth appears. Be sure to use a soft bristle brush and just a touch of toothpaste to prevent them from swallowing any of it. Before your child reaches a year old, bring them by a Bright Now! Dental office for their first visit. You can find Bright Now! Dental in Bellevue, Issaquah, Woodinville, Tukwila, Seattle and Kent. Starting early not only gives your child a healthier smile, it will also get

Get your child involved: As your child gets older, look for ways to get them involved in their oral health. This can be as simple as letting them pick out their own toothbrush and toothpaste. Be sure to pre-screen their selection, making sure the toothbrush is soft bristled and ADA approved, and that the toothpaste is safe for their age. When you feel it is appropriate, let them try their hand at brushing on their own. Although a three-year-old may not have the fine motor skills to properly brush his or her own teeth, you can let them practice and help them finish up the areas they miss. Set a timer: Dentists recommend brushing last at least two minutes. For children who don’t enjoy brushing their teeth, this can seem like an eternity. By using a simple timer, children can see the seconds race by and know that the interruption from their playtime is almost over. Some toothbrushes even come with a built-in timer, or play a song so your child will know how long to brush. Proper oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can teach your child. By helping them form good habits while they’re young, you’ll help ensure they have a lasting and healthy smile. After all, a great smile is one of the best gifts a parent can give.

Some people talk about doing great things. Others just do them.

State MVP leads Wolverines in pool Bellevue’s ‘other’ state champs back for repeat run

BY JOSH SUMAN Bellevue Reporter

Around 15 years ago, Evan Kaseguma faced the same choice kids throughout the Bellevue School District face today. He could either follow his childhood friends and neighbors to Bellevue, or use the open-enrollment policy to go to Newport, which would allow him the chance to continue his passion for water polo. Instead Kaseguma paved his own way, helping found the Bellevue High School boys water polo team and in the process, laying the foundation for generations of current and future Wol-

verines in the pool. “I swam growing up, but I always liked team sports,” said Kaseguma, who got his start in water polo at age 12 with the club program at Midlakes. “I figured, ‘Why not do it at Bellevue?’” A swimming team that was state runner-up in 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and won the 3A state title in 1999 provided the basis for the athletes and while the familiarity with the rules and intricacies of the game was not immediately present, the excitement for the future was obvious from the start. Nearly 15 years later, Kaseguma is still connected

to the program as an assistant coach and will be there as Bellevue defends its first ever state championship this season behind returning state defensive player of the year and goalkeeper Reed Hendrickson and a host of contributing underclassmen. Head coach Ed Brovick said as impressive as Hendrickson was down the stretch in 2011, it has been the senior captain’s leadership that has been his most impressive attribute this season. Hendrickson, who began playing water polo during his freshman year after a knee injury ended his cross country career,

Newport 40 Issaquah 21 Newport quarterback and defensive back Isaac Dotson took control on both sides of the ball in his team’s impressive 40-21 win over Issaquah, running in one touchdown and tossing another to senior running back Eric Rodan. Dotson also intercepted a pass in the second half that led to another Newport Isaac Dotson score. Dotson finished the game with 108 yards on the ground on 17 carries and 68 passing yards in his team’s win. Conner Baumann also had a pair of rushing scores on the game for the Knights, which will take a trip to Memorial Stadium in Seattle to face Ballard in a 7:45 p.m. start.

Bellevue 56 Lake Washington 0 The Wolverines had little trouble with a second straight 2A opponent, building an insurmountable lead in the first half of a 56-0 win over Lake Washington. Bellevue remains in the top spot in all of the 3A state rankings and is considered by many to be a top five team in the nation. Juanita will make the trip to Wolverine Way next week for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Mercer Island 63 Sammamish 0 Sammamish remained winless after a one-sided game with the Islanders, 63-0 in the first conference game of the season for both teams. Second ranked Mount Si is waiting this week for the Totems.

Mount Si 42 Interlake 8 The Saints trailed 35-0 at the half and never rebounded in the 42-8 loss to Mount Si, which is ranked second in the state in Class 3A. Interlake will travel to face Mercer Island this week in a 7 p.m. start at Mercer Island High School.

said he owes his development to the Bellevue coaching staff. “It definitely clicked last year,” Hendrickson said. “I found a point where I knew I was playing my best.” While eight seniors departed from last year’s state title team, Brovick said the return of his goalkeeper and the experience gained during last year’s championship run has given him confidence in this season’s cast. Hendrickson and the rest of the team have backed that up thus far with an undefeated record, including a 9-2 win over Newport. The team will take a trip to Newberg, Ore. Saturday and Sunday before returning to in-state competition against perennial contender Mercer Island. Brovick will also take his team to San Diego, Calif. near the end of October in preparation of the state tournament. A host of program alums playing at the Division I level in college has also bolstered the dedication and turnout for the program, which Brovick said was outstanding again this season. But no one in the program knows the opportunity water polo provides better than Kaseguma. After building the program from scratch so many years ago, he said his greatest accomplishment is creating something Bellevue High School students and families can be proud to be a part of. “It’s been incredible,” Kaseguma said. “A lot of them I’ve coached since seven or eight years old and being part of that process and involved in their lives is pretty amazing.”

hile the cause of excessive anxiety in kids is uncertain, research suggests there may be a genetic component. Scientists have found that a particular genetic variation related to introverted personalities also involves the processing of fear and anxiety. Does this mean that anxious parents will have anxious Patti Skeltonchildren? It may, but McGougan not always. Environment plays a big role in the manifestation and severity of anxiety — as much or even more than genes. For example, children who experience many changes in their lives or who do not

have a secure attachment to a parental figure may develop anxious responses, even without a genetic susceptibility. Anxiety also may be a learned behavior, since a parent’s ability to handle stress influences the child to react to certain situations in the same way. As a parent, it’s important to recognize anxious behavior in your child. Some warning signs include severe shyness, sleeping or eating problems, excessive worrying, or compulsive (repetitive) behaviors. If your child exhibits one or more of these signs, you can try to help overcome the fears which lead to his or her anxious behavior. One tip is to acknowledge your child’s worries and encourage a discussion about the issue. Avoid telling any child not to worry, as the fear will not go away on

its own, nor simply because you say so. Try to establish a relaxation strategy for your child in times of stress. Physical activity, music, muscle relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation are all effective stress-busters. If your child’s anxiety persists, you might consider seeking the help of a counselor. It’s also important to recognize that school changes can be a big source of anxiety for many children, particularly transitions from elementary to middle school and middle to high school. It’s important for parents to help their children prepare for these changes in advance. Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services.

BC gets grant to train veterans Bellevue College has received an $11.8 million grant under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training program to provide training in Health Information Technology for veterans and dislocated workers. It is the largest single grant the college has received in its nearly

50-year history. The grant was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. The money – $11,775,297 to be exact – will fund the Health e-Workforce Consortium, led by BC, that will develop and pilot a health IT apprenticeship program and career services initiative. Through a combination of on-campus and online classes at BC and seven other community colleges in Washington state and one in northern Virginia, the program will help over 2,000 participants (with 1,700 in this state)

work toward certificates and degrees in health IT. In addition to Trade Adjustment Act-eligible workers, a special focus will be on assisting military veterans and eligible spouses. The materials created by the consortium will be available for other colleges nationwide to use to train even more people. The goal is to create pathways to careers in the fast-growing field of health IT. With the transition to digital health records, providers increasingly rely on information

Seattle City Council OKs SoDo arena

Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

COURTESY PHOTO, Eastside Heritage Center, Press Collection

Northtowne Shopping Center This small shopping center was created to serve residents of the Northtowne community at the north end of Bellevue Way. Two station wagons, as well as other cars, grace the parking lot of Olsen’s Grocery in this image from the late ‘60s. A Vandekamp Bakery was located inside the grocery store, a typical arrangement at this time. A hardware store, barber shop, and other small businesses completed the complex. Over the years merchants have come and gone, but this small shopping center continues to serve its community.

The Seattle City Council voted 6-2 Monday to cut a deal with hedge fund manager Chris Hansen to build an arena in the SoDo district. The deal represents months of negotiations between the council and Hansen. New terms to the deal secured money to put into a fund for transportation and to initiate further study of the use of Key Arena. Hansen will invest $290 million of his money, along with approximately $200 million in bond financing from the city and county, should an NHL and NBA team be secured. The money for Key Arena and transportation improvements, approximately $47 million from the tax proceeds of the arena, was the primary reason many councilmembers went from a “no” vote, to a “yes,” they said. Another crucial agreement the council and Hansen made was to secure a personal guarantee that if something goes wrong, the city

and county will get its money back. Additionally, after 30 years, the city has the ability to sell the arena back to Hansen for $200 million. Councilmembers lauded the negotiations as a way to get a new arena, with good financial protections while still working to keep Key Arena viable. “Some people have said the Key Arena is dead,” said Councilmember Sally Bagshaw. “I think that’s dead wrong; we have the ability to repurpose this arena.” The two “no” votes, Richard Conlin and Nick Licata cited both economic and cultural factors in their decision to vote against the proposal. Licata said the arena doesn’t have the same value of nonprofit institutions such as Benoroya Hall and the Seattle Art Museum. Conlin said nothing has shown him why the city should be involved in financing the arena. “We still don’t have evidence that it will provide clear returns,” he said.

Nathan Willett of Cold War Kids performs at the Redhook Brewery on Saturday, Sept. 22. KEEGAN PROSSER, Bellevue Reporter

eers. Brats. Bumpin’ tunes. This seemed to be the theme of the night in Woodinville on Saturday, Sept. 22, where fans of all three met at Redhook Brewery for Sausage Fest 2012. Kicking off at 2 p.m. the festival served up delicious craft beers and sausagecentric cuisine (crispy corndogs, foot-long dogs and succulent brats), before turning into a full-fledge concert venue by late afternoon. This year’s bill, which seemed to cater to a younger crowd than years’ past, featured local acts the Black Whales and the Moondoggies, as well as Portugal. The Keegan Prosser Man, and the Cold War Kids. Ripping into a number of cuts from 2011’s “In the Mountain In the Cloud,” Portland-based act, Portugal. The Man, took the stage at

5 p.m. to the most lively crowd of the night (up to that point). Known for LIVE their dance-friendly indie pop of the psychedelic persuasion, lead singer John Gourley impressed with his high register, sing-song vocals. On “So American,” the act brought the slow roller to the next level - trading the mellow instrumentation of the recorded version for bigger percussion, harder guitar hits and more feral vocals. The more boisterous rendition had the entire crowd swaying, screaming and singing along. The fest proved to be a welcome home of sorts for the act - which hails from Alaska originally - as vocalist Gourley noted part way through the set that their dads were in the crowd. “We’re really excited about that,” he said.

When it comes to restoring and replacing teeth, the dentist is the person to see. But if you want to prevent cavities and avoid losing your teeth, put yourself in the hands of a dental hygienist. The job of this critically important member of the dental team is not limited to assisting the dentist by charting dental conditions, recording case histories, taking impressions, and helping with a variety of other procedures. The hygienist also performs most of the preventive and maintenance services that are so vital to preserving teeth and gums. Even scrupulous oral care at home cannot replace the need for regular professional care by the dental hygienist, who has the tools and skills needed to remove plaque and calculus buildup that threatens tooth and gum health. Visiting the hygienist regularly for x-rays, cleanings, and discussions about lifestyle habits and nutrition choices can spell the difference between maintaining your teeth and losing them. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we take a comprehensive approach to your dental health and well-being. If you have concerns or questions about your teeth and gums, call us at 425.641.4111. Be sure to maintain your dental health and limit your chances of needing expensive treatment in the future because of neglect today. The key to dental health is routine preventive care. We’re conveniently located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

‘House at End of Street’ has twists, turns

CONCERT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24

espite my disappointment in ‘The Apparition,’ I decided to see ‘The House at the End of the Street,’ another new horror film. However, my experience watching it was much different, primarily because ‘The House at the End of the Street’ is not a paranormal film. Instead, it’s about a teenage girl named Elissa, who moves Aran Kirschenmann to a small town with her single mother. The house they rent is next to the house at the end of the street, which happened to be the site of a suspicious double murder during which a young girl murdered her parents then ran off into the forest. The newcomers soon learn the house is now occupied by Ryan, the avoided and timid brother of the murderer, played by Max Thieriot, who was out of

But the real high point of the set came in the extended instrumental jams that found bassist Zachary Carothers and guitarist/tambourine/bongo extraordinaire Noah Gersh attacking their instruments, whilst dancing across the stage. Closing the night was Los Angeles-based act Cold War Kids, whose most recent release, 2011’s “Mine Is Yours” has garnered them a larger fan base and even more acclaim. Led by vocalist Nathan Willett, the men of CWK are true showmen in the live setting - playing their upbeat, dance rock tracks to a wildly responsive (and loyal) crowd. Pulling tracks from all three of their previous releases, the stacked setlist included hits “Something Is Not Right With Me,” “Audience,” and “Louder Than Ever,” - among many, many more. Bassist Matt Maust and guitarist Dann Gallucci (originally of Issaquah-bred act Modest Mouse) were enchanting on stage - leaning in to one another, plucking excitedly as they moved from one song to the next. While the entire set proved remarkable, a special moment came on “Hang Me Up To Dry,” - a grimy, blues-rock track from 2008’s “Robbers and Cowards,” that had Willett wailing passionately over a potent bass line and a messy (but satisfying) concoction of keys and drums. Though the food lines were long, and the beer a tad pricey - things I overhead being talked about on more than one occasion - the music delivered. And by the time Willett and Co. returned to the stage for an encore that paired “Hospital Beds” and “We Used To Vacation,” all seemed to be forgiven. If the brewery can keep with this trend in years to come, it’s sure to be something to ‘cheers’ about.

Education an important topic for candidates in the 48th Cyrus Habib has been fighting battles for decades SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Cyrus Habib was 8 years old when he first learned to advocate for himself. A second round of retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer, had just taken the last of his eyesight and his freedom at recess. He was forced to play close to the school playground monitors because officials at Stevenson Elementary School in Bellevue didn’t want him to get hurt. “This was hugely demoralizing to me,” said Habib, who now lives in Kirkland. His mother, a lawyer, stood up for him. She signed a liability waiver, absolving the school from responsibility if Habib was injured, and brought him to the playground on weekends so he could learn his way around the equipment without his eyesight. Now 30, Habib is the Democratic candidate running to replace retiring Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland, for the 48th Legislative District, Pos. 2. He wants to fight for others as his mother did for him.

FOCUSING ON EDUCATION AND TRANSPORTATION

BILL CHRISTIANSON

Habib, a Bellevue attorney, said that, if elected, the biggest battle he wants to fight is for higher standards in public schools. A product of the Bellevue School District and member of the second graduating class of the International School, he said it is an important investment for society as a quality education leads to a trained workforce. Habib also wants to work to improve affordability and accessibility in higher education. As a board member for Bellevue College, he said he is worried about the cost of community college being shifted to students — especially since many are putting themselves through school. Habib filed to run for office in February when Eddy announced her retirement. He said since then he has knocked on more than 7,000 doors in the district, adding that it is important

to meet voters and learn what issues they are concerned about. Habib said he also wants to address transportation, including the congestion on Interstate 405. He said it is important to invest in projects and services such as link light rail and RapidRide because they are vital to the state’s 21st century transportation grid. Although this is Habib’s first time running for office, he is not new to politics. He has worked as an intern for U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and, while studying comparative literature at Columbia University in New York, he interned for U.S. Sen. Hilary Clinton. His first day with Clinton’s office was three days after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Habib, an Iranian American, said this was a very intense time to work for a U.S. senator. Habib also has been part of a movement to make U.S. currency accessible to the blind and testified before Congress on the issue. He said other countries’ currencies can be differentiated tactilely — whether by different-sized bills, with Braille or other methods. Habib noted that 70 percent of the country’s working-age blind population is unemployed and part of this is due to the fact that many entry-level jobs require the ability to differentiate among bills. For Habib, this experience showed him there are pockets of injustice in areas that often go unnoticed, but still affect a lot of people. “I believe my perspective will be new to Olympia,” he said.

Special to the Bellevue Reporter

Hank Myers is getting quite a workout these days as he advocates for improving education and government efficiency in his bid for state office. Myers, a Republican who is serving his second term on the Redmond City Council, has spent his afternoons and evenings riding his bike from door to door, campaigning for Pos. 2 of the 48th Legislative District, which includes parts of Redmond. He has pedaled his way throughout the district — where he has lived for the last 37 years — talking to constituents, stressing the importance of education and budgeting reform for state government. Myers, who describes himself as a fiscally conservative, socially moderate politician, said his top priority is improving public education. A big issue Hank Myers Myers has heard during his bicycle door belling is that many parents have enrolled their children in private schools because of the lack of classroom funding in public schools. He said lawmakers need to cut back on school administration costs, which account for more than 40 percent of the state education budget. “We need to put that money toward classrooms and teachers,” said Myers, a retired transportation consultant and former Coast Guard air rescue crewman who hopes to replace retiring Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland.

EDUCATION, BUDGETING BY PRIORITES TOP OF THE LIST In addition to enrolling their children in private schools, Myers said many parents tell him they are using tutorial services like Dartmoor and Kumon because of the lack of funding in the public school sector. “Education funding is inadequate,” he said. “More and more people are taking their kids to private schools. I think it’s absolutely a shame. First of all because it’s an admission that our schools are not doing the job.” If elected, Myers said he will work to put more money into the classrooms and help fulfill the state’s constitutional obligation to provide adequate financial support for its public schools. Myers, who has served on the curriculum development committee and the gifted education committee of the Bellevue School District, said in order adequately fund education, the state’s budgeting process must be reformed. “We need to shrink the rest of the general budget, which has grown,” he said. Meanwhile, funding for education has shrunk, he said. One way to improve education funding is to improve efficiency through technology, he said. Myers is a big advocate of Budgeting by Priorities (BP) — a financial strategy the City of Redmond adopted in 2008 when Myers was first elected to the Redmond City Council. He said the state needs to adopt a priorities-based budgeting approach that is predicated on public input and eliminates partisan politics.

Check out a bag

’ll admit it. I have a bag problem. Not the cute-designer-handbags-with-matching-shoes kind of problem. It is my ever expanding collection of reusable totes. Before that, I had too many plastic bags. Every time I opened the cupboard door, they would plunge out and float to the floor like escaped ghosts. I always saved them because I have a dog. Trust me, they get used. With plastic bag bans in some cities and the larger green movement, reusable totes are more prevalent and businesses give them away at every opportunity. The totes can be used for almost everything. Well, everything except what dog owners Darcy Brixey use them for. Now I find myself wincing at the tote bags that spring out of that same cupboard door. I have some from bookstores, or grocery stores, and many, many more from library conferences sporting database logos. I know that somewhere, a group of reference publisher salesmen come up with ideas for giveaways to advertise their product.

September 28, 2012 [27]

www.bellevuereporter.com “Let’s give them pens,” says salesman number one. “I have a better idea. Let’s give them bags. Librarians could always use more bags,” says salesman number two, sure that his business savvy will earn him a raise. If he only knew. Despite my growing collection of bags, I never have one when I need it. I know I’m not alone. Every week I see families with young children come into the library carefree and unburdened. A half hour later, the mother is dragging a screaming toddler, while the father holds a precariously balanced stack of books under one arm and a drooling baby under the other. I want to help, but there is no bag to give them. This won’t happen in the future. Starting this fall, the Bellevue, Lake Hills and Crossroads libraries will be piloting a project to check out a bag. When you find yourself with a large stack of DVDs and books and no way to carry them, you can check out up to two bags on your library card. The check out period is one year, with two more year long renewals. If your bag cupboard hasn’t yet reached capacity, you can also buy them for $1.25 each. The bags can accompany you to the library, the grocery store, maybe even the beach. Just leave it home when you walk Fido. Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.

Dr. George Gyula Szucs died September 18, 2012 at the age of 88 years. He claimed his greatest accomplishment was his family and he leaves behind his wife of 62 years, Margit Szucs, 3 adult children, Lite Szucs of Tacoma, Zsuzsa Blaine of Bellingham, and Eva Carleton of Gig Harbor. He has 6 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren mostly all living in the greater Northwest, but a few spread out to as far as Alaska, California, and Utah.We all dearly loved him and we know and felt how much he loved us. George was an old-time family doctor practicing in Bellevue since the early ’60-s. He took care of patients when Overlake Hospital was a 20-bed community facility and Bellevue had only one stop light and Nordstrom was a shoe store. He delivered hundreds of babies who are themselves now grandparents and parents in the larger King county area. He was loved by his patients and was a kind and excellent doctor. Even as an 80 year old he would frequently attend the “old doc” medical meetings at Overlake Hospital and bemoaned the thinning of the ranks of those old doctors as the years passed. George was born in Nagyrabe, Hungary, and came to the United States at the time of the Hungarian Revolution against Russian control in 1956. He was a vocal revolutionary against the Russian take-over of Hungary, and when he found out he was to be arrested the next day (and possibly shot), he took his wife and two babies, and fled on foot through gun-fire controlled fields to Austria and then was brought on to the United States by Red Cross evacuation flights. He worked day and night and retook his medical exams, and redid his internship in New Jersey and came to the Northwest a few years later because he didn’t like the hustle-bustle and dirt and noise of the New York City area. He first worked at a State medical hospital and then opened his own private practice office in Bellevue in 1962. George and Margit formed many, many close and dear friendships over the years, many friends in the medical community, and many in the artist community (Margit became an accomplished artist in the area). Then there was also the Hungarian community of friends who would get together for epic ping-pong tournaments, and great parties drinking and singing old Hungarian songs into the wee hours of the night. The grandkids loved the retired “Papa” who baked the most fantastic Hungarian bread and cooked the best Hungarian “goulash” west of Hungary itself.The grandchildren lined up for his famous foot rubs. The great-grandchildren over-filled their tummies with his home-made rice pudding that he would prepare just for them -- more recently bent over the cooktop, sitting on his stool, with his cane by his side, patiently stirring the milky-rice mixture while it cooked. His garden was immaculate and full of flowers which he took care of with great pride until the last weeks of his life. His kindness, generosity, and compassion, was most felt by his wife in these last years as he became her medical and physical caretaker as she suffers through her disabilities. We all love you Dadi, Papa, Nagypapa, Gyuszi, and shall so miss you! Rest in peace! 680685

Seniors facing a growing crisis in long-term care BY PEGGY KUNKEL UW News Lab

Dr. Marion Somers likes to quote former first lady Rosalynn Carter when it comes to planning for longterm care: â€œThere are only four kinds of people in the world â€” those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.â€? A long-time geriatric specialist and author, Somers was in Bellevue earlier this year to talk about long-term care â– Toss out throw rugs! and how most people Once you break a hip, your are not adequately whole life changes. Donâ€™t prepared for it. risk it. Traveling in a 1967 â– Correct poor lighting. Greyhound bus that â– Become pro-active; has been converted to living quarters know your resources.

living longer; many live in our community, but havenâ€™t prepared adequately for long-term care.â€? Jonas Roeser, president of 3 in 4 Need More, added: â€œStatistics show that nearly three out of four people are going to need long-term care at some point after they reach age 65. â€Ś When youâ€™re a business owner, this represents three out of four of your employees.â€? Somers spoke passionately on the topic. â€œWe have a crisis in this country. We have an elder-care tsunami heading this way,â€? she said. â€œWe need to individually, collectively, as family, as a community, deal with the elder-care issue.â€? She is concerned that many people donâ€™t realize that long-term care planning needs to start early. â€œCheck out your resources now - the knight in shining armor is not going to come knocking on your door and say these are the resources available to you,â€? said Somers, who has been a featured speaker on The Today Show, ABC News Now, Good Morning America Now and dozens of local morning news shows. Also, her public service announcement, â€œDr. Marion Minuteâ€? elder care program, airs on more than 300 radio outlets coast-to-coast. One must know what the triggers are before longterm insurance might kick in, such as activities for daily living, eating, brushing teeth. Somers said, â€œAre you heavily drinking? Smoking? Not getting enough sleep or exercise? Start right now taking care of yourself.â€? The average person doesnâ€™t understand the limitations of Medicare, Medicaid, or the restrictions imposed by oneâ€™s own income bracket, she said. Personal savings can disappear in a month with hospital expenses. Planning is needed. People need to be sure their families know what care they want and for what benefits they are

eligible. Somers added, â€œThis is a political hot potato; nobody wants to deal with it, because nobody knows how to fix it. It comes down to what you can do for yourself. The government can provide tax incentives, but only you as a voter can help government decide what works. Awareness is key â€” spread the word.â€? Boarding her vintage Greyhound, Somers then traveled to Emeritus Senior Living in Bellevue, where she spoke and emceed a senior talent competition. Special guest 48th District state Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chairman of the budget committee, asked: â€œHow do we fund long-term care (and) have the financial wherewithal for seniors to be comfortable in their old age? We face all the boomers in our Medicaid system. If I were you, Iâ€™d want to make sure youâ€™re not dependent on the guys in Washington, D.C.â€?
