LET THERE BE LIGHTS
Sports groups ban together for better fields Synthetic turf builds outdoor classroom BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
A visit to the Bellevue Botanical Garden turns into a special treat for visitors Thursday, Nov. 8 as lights for the upcoming Garden D’Lights are being installed by volunteers.

Botanical Garden getting its holiday sparkle on
For years, Tobey Bryant heard the complaints. No matter which of the many sports – baseball, lacrosse, soccer – she watched her children compete in around Bellevue, the common refrain from fellow parents and her children’s coaches was the same: the fields needed help. The typically soggy climate reduced the natural grass surfaces to a mess of mud and puddles during most of the year, while infields surfaced with amended sand turned to dustbowls throughout the drier summer months. For Bryant, the solution seemed obvious. “What made me put it all together was the complaints in all the sports,” she said. “So we decided to get a group together and try to do something.” The result was Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields, a community advocacy group focused on making sure the fields that surround the newly renovated elementary and middle schools in Bellevue receive a share of the funds and attention given to the facility itself. The goal is to improve the fields by eliminating natural grass in favor of a synthetic surface similar to what exists at the high school stadiums and city parks like Robinswood, and then line them for multiple sports so youth and adult leagues can utilize them year-round. More than 14 sports clubs from Bellevue are part of the group, which collectively represents more than 7,000 athletes. SEE FIELDS, 5

A holiday tradition is coming together at the Bellevue Botanical Garden as Bellevue Park Department personnel and volunteers work to install 500,000 lights that make up the Garden D’Lights display. The lights transform the garden into a blossoming winter wonderland that attracts more than 150,000 people each December. The display is inspired by plants found in Northwest gardens and gardens around the world. The extended route through the garden is enhanced with a flowing river in lights and four waterfalls. There’s also a pond and border display on the main lawn. To make it happen, hundreds of volunteers work to make new
creations along with old favorites. In 2011 Snap d’Dragon joined the list of over 30 “critters” including Charlotte in her web and Willie the Slug. Also popular is the “Aquarium in Lights” in the Visitor Center with the pulsing jellyfish and the garden’s own octopus. Garden D’Lights is on view from 5-10 p.m. from Nov. 24 through Dec. 31. Last entry to the exhibit is 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person; children age 10 and under free. There also are free nights for everyone from Nov. 26-29 and Dec. 3-6. Money raised helps support the Botanical Garden. Tickets can be purchased online at www.gardendlights.com.

McLeod said the synthetic surface will be applied over the black surface known as “E-Layer,” which provides superior cushioning and is more easily surfaced when the carpet’s shelf life of 10 years expires.

Bellevue College employee wins Commute Smart Award A normal day’s work for Bellevue College employee Deric Gruen involves saving students and staff money, easing traffic congestion, curbing pollution and contributing to a cleaner environment. As the college’s sustainability and resource conservation manager, he designs programs that encourage the college community to use alternative means of transport – such as transit and carpools – to commute to and from campus.
For these efforts, he has received a 2012 Governor’s Commute Smart Award, which recognizes his leadership and innovation in reducing traffic in the region. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, Gruen “commissioned a parking study at Bellevue College and established a transportation management taskforce of student and employee stakeholders. He led outreach efforts for RideshareOn-
line.com at the school and developed a program to use parking fees to offset the rising cost of the school’s transit program for students and employees. Participation in the program soon increased by 30 percent.” In addition to these efforts, Gruen’s newest initiative is a proposal to partner with Hopelink to offer one-on-one commute advising to 4,000 students that will help them access education and save money. In the process, this will reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to campus and contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions. In July, Gruen, a resident of Seattle, was recognized by Commuter Challenge,

1,500 employees and serves 37,000 students annually. Each year, the Commute Smart Awards recognize communities, businesses, agencies and workplace transportation coordinators for their creative efforts to promote ridesharing and other alternatives to driving alone, such as bicycling and teleworking. The awards
highlight the benefits of commute trip reduction, a law passed by the state Legislature in 1991 that calls on employers to encourage their workers to choose transportation options that reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

Plant salvage planned Dec. 1 for Group Health Overlake property
A good move for babies
You can score With the old Group Health Overlake campus in the Overlake area slated for redevelopment, Eastside Audubon will hold a plant salvage party Saturday, Dec. 1. At the Group Health-approved event, volunteers will dig up plants that otherwise would be destroyed to save them for replanting later in the winter on the Audubon BirdLoop at Marymoor Park. Eastside Audubon has been improving wildlife habitat at the BirdLoop since 2006 through monthly work parties. No expertise is necessary to help with the plant salvage. Participants only need a shovel, work gloves, sturdy shoes, and
clothing layers appropriate for the weather. Eastside Audubon project leaders will help identify which plants to remove and explain how to do it. Coffee and snacks will be provided by Eastside Audubon. Work will start at 8 a.m. and continue until noon. The Group Health campus is near the intersection of 156th Avenue Northeast and BelRed Road. To facilitate planning, Eastside Audubon asks that volunteers sign up in advance of the event by contacting Tim McGruder, 425-822-8580 or tmcrugder@gmail.com. Details about where to meet will be given to volunteers upon sign-up.

FIELDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Jack McLeod, the facilities director with the Bellevue School District, said many groups over the years have raised concerns about the quality and availability of the fields at elementary and middle schools in the district. But he added most often the conversation has been isolated to one facility or the usage interests for only one sport. With Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields, the story was entirely different. “There have been several groups and they have been given the opportunity to get in front of the board,” McLeod said. “But the board always asks, ‘What about the other schools?’” With the growth of both the general population of Bellevue, which rose 11.4 percent from 2000-2010, and the number of children in the area, 2,800 more during the same time span, finding time on the fields that are in playable shape in inclement weather has become a challenge. But if Bryant and her group continue on the path they have been on, that problem could soon be substantially solved. Tyee Middle School was outfitted with a pair of newly surfaced synthetic fields when it was completed in August. The cost was paid for by surplus funds from the project. It hosted its first games two weeks ago to rave reviews and Bryant hopes will be the first of what can happen at other city schools. “Getting families together on a field gets people meeting one another,” she said. “That just builds a better community.” The Tyee success means future projects will include a budgeted amount to improve the fields, McLeod said. “We’re putting together a complete package,” McLeod said. “There is a lot of instruction that takes place outside,
Youngsters play a game of touch football on the multipurpose field at Tyee Middle School. The school is also equipped with outdoor tennis courts, a covered basketball court and a baseball field. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter in terms of physical education and activities that go on after the school day.” Bellevue Clubs for Bellevue Fields does not conduct any fundraising of its own, instead focusing on providing a voice for sports clubs within the city at school board meetings and elsewhere in the community. Rather than asking the district to acquire more land, or pull money from the general fund, Bryant said the focus is on improving the existing fields and ensuring the outdoor classroom remains a vital part of future capital projects. McLeod noted that by including field costs in the same bond projects voted on by Bellevue residents, the district has found another ally to help champion the cause of school facility funding. “They have a really holistic attitude about doing things across the district,” he said. “It increases the stakeholder base.”
Master Builders receive Green 50 Award The Bellevue-based Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties has been named a winner in the Seattle Business magazine’s 2012 Green Washington Awards. The award put the organization in the top 50 outstanding organizations in Washington state. Winners were selected from a large pool of nominations by a panel of judges from prominent organizations in the region, including the Washington Environmental Council, Climate Solutions, the Bainbridge Graduate Institute and the Washington Clean Technology Alliance. The Master Builders Association won first place nonprofit as a company in the building/construction category. It was honored for the work of its Built Green program, which has certified more than 20,000 living units since being founded in 2000. Built Green’s existing certified projects have reduced residential energy. On an annual basis, the program saves an estimated 10.3 million gallons of indoor-use water, reduces stormwater runoff by 30 percent, diverts more than 2,200 tons of construction waste from landfills to recycling, and reduces energy use by 15 percent or 5.3 million kilowatt hours. “We are extremely grateful for this recognition of our members’ dedication to environmentally sustainable building practices, which we have been able to elevate through
our collaboration with community partners on efforts like the zHome project and the Mercer Slough Pond Lily Wet Lab,” said association Executive Officer Sam Anderson. “These projects reflect our overall commitment to Built Green and our desire to promote responsible environmental practices and quality construction.” Another Built Green program is the Mercer Slough Pond Lily Wet Lab, which the Master Builders Association built and donated to the city of Bellevue to be used as a classroom at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center in Bellevue. Pond Lily achieved a 5-Star Built Green certification by incorporating many environmentallyfriendly features, such as a green roof, a super-insulated envelope and a high-efficiency radiant heating system.
Public Health – Seattle & King County is encouraging people to vaccinate now to protect against the flu. The flu season can begin as early as October. “Flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from flu,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director and Health Officer for Public Health – Seattle & King County. Influenza can cause significant lost time from work and school, as well as the expense of doctor visits. In some instances, it can also cause hospitalization and even death, health officials said. “We’ve begun to get reports of confirmed influenza infections in our community, including our schools,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, Chief, Communicable Disease Epidemiology & Immunization at Public Health – Seattle & King County. “Vaccinate now to protect yourself and your family.” Health experts recommend everyone six months and older get the flu vaccine, especially people at high-risk for severe influenza, including: ■ Children 6 months through their fifth birthday ■ Pregnant women, to protect both the mother and the newborn infant ■ Adults age 50 years and older ■ People with chronic health problems like diabetes, heart, liver, lung, kidney, and certain neurological diseases, and extreme obesity. ■ Household members, care givers, and other close contacts of high-risk people should get vaccinated to prevent them from spreading influenza.

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

EDITORIAL
Chill out – vote count not a real problem
S
ome in our state are in a tizzy because vote counting – they say - is taking too long. It took two days after the voting on Nov. 6 to determine that R-74, the marriage equality referendum, had passed. And, it wasn’t until Friday, Nov. 9 - that’s three days after the election – before we knew that Jay Inslee would be our governor. Oh, the horror! It’s not as if people’s lives couldn’t move forward as the vote counting continued. They could and they did. And nothing of substance was delayed while the ballots were tallied. So, what’s the problem? Sure, Rob McKenna and Jay Inslee would like to know sooner rather than later if they would be moving to the governor’s mansion in Olympia. But government wasn’t brought to its knees while we waited for the answer. Critics place the blame on the fact that our state allows votes to be counted as long as the ballots were postmarked by election day. Some other states – our neighbor, Oregon, for one – say ballots must be received by election day. That sounds reasonable until you remember that all-mail voting means that most people would likely be forced to vote BEFORE the campaign is over. What happens if something dramatic occurs in the final days that would change peoples’ minds about a candidate? Yes, we know that voters can take their ballots to a drop box on election day, but there’s only a few of them for the entire county. How is that feasible, let alone convenient? And, yes, most voters mail their ballots before election day, but that is their choice. Vote-by-mail has been a plus for our state, increasing the voter turnout. The fact that we may have to wait a few more days to know the outcome of a race or two doesn’t give government the right to in-effect disenfranchise some voters. Voting critics need to take a deep breath. A fourday wait isn’t quite the end of the world. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Marijuana legalization not way to go
I
typically lean left when it comes to politics (right-wing conspiracy theorists feel free to gasp now at the idea of the liberal media). But there was one issue on the Washington ballot this year I sided with many of my conservative friends. The passing of I-502, the bill making it legal for adults over 21 to possess an ounce of marijuana, is just asking for trouble‚ in particular on the road. The Centers for Disease Control reports that every day 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle Kevin Endejan crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 48 minutes. I’ve heard marijuana supporters argue marijuana has “never killed anyone.” To that, I call B.S. If you think it’s safe to get behind the wheel while stoned, well, put down the pipe for a second. Statistics show reaction time slows significantly for those under the influence of weed. Let’s face it, when behind the wheel the ability to react is THE key element to safe driving. I know that, like alcohol, Washington has laws against driving under the influence of marijuana and other drugs. But really how easy is it to detect? First, it often requires an officer known as “a drug recognition expert” to come to the scene. Then, if he determines the driver is impaired, the violator will likely be arrested and taken for a blood draw to determine the level of THC in their system.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK It’s great that there’s a means of enforcement, but it’s far more complicated than someone blowing into a breathalyzer. And that’s what concerns me. With the changed law that kicks in Dec. 6, people will feel a lot more comfortable using marijuana, which will in turn result in more impaired drivers. This idea was recently reinforced by the King County Prosecutor’s Office dismissing several cases of marijuana possession. If there are no ramifications for possessing the drug, why worry about getting behind the wheel after smoking a joint? Whether it’s a scenario as serious as watching for children in a crosswalk, or something as minor as following an unaware driver going 30 mph down the interstate‚ I see nothing but problems on the horizon. Let’s also not forget the implications of marijuana becoming more readily available to those under 21, and the known fact it is a gateway drug to other forms of substance abuse. When it comes down to it, there is really only one other winner of I-502 besides the stoners‚ convenience stores. I hope the local 7-Eleven stores are stocking up on Funyons and corn dogs.

Thanksgiving – what a surprise M
y Uncle Jim – a world-class practical joker – always cooked up his best stunts for Thanksgiving. One year, when no one was looking, he substituted cinnamon-flavored red-hot candies for the cranberries – and waited to see if anybody noticed. They did. Another time, he slipped caramel syrup into the gravy boat. That was the year Cousin Bob – after pouring the goop onto his mashed potatoes and taking a bite – punched Uncle Jim in the nose. And then there was the time Uncle Jim thought it would be hilarious to Pat Cashman put pillow stuffing inside the turkey. Unfortunately, the joke fell apart when the stuffing caught fire in the oven, and the turkey was incinerated. Uncle Jim passed away some years ago. I’ve always wondered if Cousin Bob might have had a hand in it. But I am sure that Uncle Jim is likely to be pulling practical jokes in Heaven these days – although Hell needs his services much more. I’ll get back to Uncle Jim later. Meanwhile, if you are traveling on an airplane over Thanksgiving or Christmas – and don’t fly much otherwise – you’re in for a very rude surprise. Things are not a barrel of fun at the security gates. Get this: If you’re bringing Grandma’s beloved pumpkin pie on your trip, you’re going to get ridiculous scrutiny. After all, there could be explosive stuff in that pie – and the TSA (which stands for Twitchy Security Administration) knows that terrorists have always used desserts to hide bombs within.

www.bellevuereporter.com Cranberry sauce is not allowed onboard flights unless you have less than 3.4 ounces of it. (I am not kidding here.) Yet, you can bring as much green bean casserole on board as you want. What’s with that? Personal aside: If the TSA wants to confiscate yams, Brussels sprouts, asparagus and Tofurkey, I’m all in. If you want to bring little Timmy a toy gun for a Christmas present – even if it’s obviously a toy – it’s never OK to put it into your carry-on bag. If you even try it, the terrorists will win. Is that what you want, scumbag? The TSA says that if you want to bring a cute snowglobe to your family gathering that will be just fine. Unless it’s larger than a tennis ball. (Who’s ever seen a snow-globe that size? Come on!) Your tiny globe also has to fit into a crumby little plastic bag along with your creams, gels and hemorrhoidal cream. Oh, great! So now you have to choose between a snow globe or hemorrhoidal agony? They say that 60 percent of the human body are fluids. If true, why does the TSA let any of us on board? You know what? Let’s just take the bus instead. In closing, one more Uncle Jim bit: One time, when everyone was out of the kitchen, Jim scooped the dressing out of the just-baked turkey, and jammed a cooked Turkish game hen into the big bird’s cavity. Then, at the moment of dinnertime, Uncle Jim marched into the dining room holding the grand turkey aloft on a platter. “Behold!” He said, hamming it up in vintage Uncle Jim fashion. With the eager throng sitting eagerly at the table, he’d set the platter down on the table and begin to carve it. Then, with mock horror, Uncle J. would open the turkey’s cavity – and pull out the game hen. He’d shriek and then announce to our startled family members: “My God! This turkey was PREGNANT!” Come to think of it, I’m not so sure Uncle Jim made it to Heaven. He would have never made it through security. Pat Cashman can be reached at pat@patcashman.com.

AAA warning car buyers of storm-damaged vehicles “In addition to the obvious damage done to upholstery and carpeting, flood water is a corrosive and abrasive mixture of water and dirt that forces its way into every seam and crevice of an automobile,” said John Milbrath, AAA Washington’s vice president of member services. “Most vulnerable are the engine, transmission and other components of the drive train. Unless these vital parts are completely restored, contaminants from the flood water will cause premature wear and shorten the life of the vehicle.” Used-car buyers should be aware that
vehicles damaged by AAA recommends that used-car buyers always have a potential used-car purchase inspected by a qualified automotive technician and check its title history to help determine whether it sustained flood damage among other problems.
How to Spot a Flood-Damaged Vehicle
n Engage your sense of smell to detect any damp or musty odors inside the vehicle. n Are the windows fogged up? Has the carpet or upholstery been replaced or recently shampooed? Pull back the carpet at different areas and look for mud, dirt or signs of water stains. n Inspect the dashboard underside for signs of mud and dirt. This is a particularly hard area to clean. n Look under the vehicle for corrosion.
It is uncommon to find corrosion in newer vehicles and those that are owned or sold in southern states. n Open all doors, hood, and trunk to inspect for corrosion, mud and dirt or discoloration on the door frames, hinges and under the weather stripping. Pay special attention to small spaces and crevices that are difficult to clean. n Check all warning lights, window motors, and all electrical components to ensure they are working properly. While a non-working part alone does not mean the vehicle was flooded, it combined with other difficulties is a cause for concern. n Obtain a CARFAX Vehicle History Report. This report can potentially reveal if the vehicle has been involved in a flood, major accident, fire, or uncover odometer fraud.
Grand opening set for Newcastle Library Newcastle’s first library will feature a ribbon-cutting celebration and open house at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8.

Bellevue-based AAA Washington is warning drivers to be wary of flood-damaged vehicles from Superstorm Sandy. Such vehicles can be shipped anywhere for resale, and may show up for sale throughout the US as early as one week after the storm. Due to the short time period between the water damage and being sold, often these vehicles are not identified as flood-damaged in national databases. The vehicles can continue to appear in the marketplace for up to a year after a major flood.

A public tour of the library will be offered after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, with refreshments and music provided by the Pernassus Project, a group of musicians who present classical chamber music in non-traditional settings. The new library is located at 12901 Newcastle Way.

Heritage Corner A look at Bellevue’s past

Fresno fire sheds light on Bellevue whalers
For most of its three decades of operation, the American Pacific Whaling Company was a quiet presence on the Bellevue waterfront. However, on April 4, 1923 one vessel provided a spectacle impossible to ignore. The whaler Fresno, soaked in oil, grease and other byproducts of its trade, caught fire at the dock in Meydenbauer Bay. Unfortunately for owner William Schupp, Bellevue had no fire department. More unfortunate still, the Fresno was not alone; three other whalers were anchored beside the burning steamer. Although nothing could be done for the Fresno, a tugboat pulled the vessel away from the dock, and a launch owned by Bellevue entrepreneur E. Sherman managed to tow the Fresno’s three companions out of danger. This would not be the last such fire. In 1935 Schupp was awakened by news that the dock itself was burning. But that’s another story… Heritage Corner is a feature in the Bellevue Reporter. Material is provided by the Eastside Heritage Center. For more information call 425-450-1049.
Drivers traveling over Washington’s mountain pass highways should carry a few extra items now. For those piloting heavy trucks, that should becomes a must. As of Nov. 1, state law requires commercial vehicles and combinations of vehicles heavier than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating to carry sufficient tire chains. This law also affects some larger passenger trucks, SUVs, recreational vehicles and trucks hauling trailers that exceed 10,000 GVW. State Patrol troopers will strictly enforce the new requirements. The WSP will have a special chain-emphasis patrol in early November to ensure drivers are carrying the appropriate number of chains, including spares. Failing to carry chains will cost drivers $124. When highway advisories call for

on reliability projects and getting ready for winter,” said Andy Wappler, a certified meteorologist and PSE vice president of corporate affairs. “Now that the weather is changing, those preparations will help us serve our customers as storm season begins.” Although the National Weather Service predicts an El Nino weather pattern, which typically results in a mild mid-to-late winter with warmer and drier weather than average, the phenomenon has little impact on reducing the number of fall and early winter storms. As an example, meteorologists point to the very stormy fall of 2006, which brought flooding, snow and the devastating Dec. 14-15 Hanukkah Eve wind storm. “Our PSE crews are ready for storm season, and we
want families and businesses to be ready, too,” Wappler said. “Our storm bases used our recent mild weather to train for when weather turns rough. The professionals are prepared. We want your family to be prepared as well.” More than 250 PSE personnel recently took part in the utility’s annual “mock storm” exercises at PSE’s Emergency Coordination Center and its storm bases in Olympia, Puyallup, Kent, Redmond, Poulsbo and Burlington. The series of drills required crews to simulate all aspects of response to a major, widespread storm, from assessing damaged electrical systems and dispatching line crews to coordinating with local emergency-service agencies and communicating with customers and the media.

planned storm response is vital, Wappler said, equally critical is the work PSE does throughout the year to harden its energy-delivery infrastructure. PSE invests more than $100 million per year to maintain its electric system and enhance equipment reliability. The effort includes such things as: - Trimming or removing trees that are threatening to come into contact with power lines. In all, PSE trims approximately 1,110 miles of high-voltage transmission line and 1,900 miles of distribution lines annually across its nine-county electric service area. - Strategically replacing overhead power lines with specially coated “tree wire” that is less prone to power outages if a tree branch falls into the line. - Upgrading substations and replacing aged transformers, fuses, breakers, power poles and other electrical equipment. - Replacing overhead power lines in outage-prone areas with underground cable.

Some vehicle manufacturers recommend against the use of tire chains, so the State Patrol provides a list of approved, alternative traction devices when chain requirements are in place. Studded tires do not meet the chain requirement and are legal for use only between Nov. 1 and March 31 in Washington.

Company failed to comply with a state order and violated consumer protection rules State regulators have fined Puget Sound Energy (PSE) $250,000 for violating a 2010 order that required the utility to review and correct specific customer accounts. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) has approved a multi-party settlement of a complaint that alleged 515 violations of the 2010 order. The parties include: commission staff, PSE, the Public Counsel Section of the Attorney General’s Office, and The Energy Project, a nonprofit group that represents low-income people. The UTC originally penalized the company $104,300 in October 2010 for improperly handling accounts of customers, including many low-income customers, disconnected for nonpayment. In addition to that penalty, the company was ordered to make corrections to 26 specific customer accounts identified by UTC staff. In the 2010 order, the UTC also penalized the company for improperly applying energy assistance pledge funds made to low-income customers’ accounts.

PSE has now provided refunds and credits to the mishandled customer accounts, and changed its billing practices to ensure that customer payments are applied correctly. The company also agreed to make a $75,000 contribution to its low-income assistance program. The utility is not allowed to pass the penalty costs to customers through rates. Bellevue-based PSE serves more than 1 million electric customers and about 785,000 natural gas customers, primarily in the Puget Sound region of Western Washington.

Winter shelters open to help the homeless When the wind, rain and cold come, shelters can be life-savers to those who spend their days and nights on streets BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
When Deborah Beamer lived in her car, the simplest tasks presented an obstacle. Finding a place to shower, or a restroom overnight meant enduring stares every time she walked into a business. She was hesitant to stay at a shelter, but couldn’t afford to keep her car heated during the winter months. “It was cold, and my car took gas to run,” remembers Beamer of her time on the streets. “I was confined to my vehicle in those winter months…After a while, everything wears at you.” Beamer, who later found relief in the form of Bellevue women’s shelter, The Sophia Way, said the winter months are extra difficult on the city’s homeless population. “It’s not easy to sleep in a car or park because of the rain, the cold and the elements,” explained Helen Leuzzi, executive director of The Sophia Way. “[These shelters] are really life-saving.” Winter shelters opened on the Eastside last Thursday, and will continue to serve Bellevue’s homeless population through March of 2013. The seasonal program is a joint partnership with the cities of Bel-

The goal is to convert six ferries to run on liquefied natural gas by 2015, according to David Moseley, head of the ferry system. The ferry system has been studying liquefied natural gas (LNG) for about two years, Moseley said, adding that it is expected to remain significantly cheaper than the diesel fuel that ferries currently use. Moseley said it also produces fewer
greenhouse gas emissions. WSF recently got preliminary approval from the U.S. Coast Guard to retrofit the six Issaquah class ferries. It now will develop more specific plans, which it will present to the Coast Guard as well as the state Legislature for approval as early as this winter. It’s also searching for a private investor to help finance the multimillion dollar project.

levue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, King County and organizations: The Sophia Way and Congregations for the Homeless (CFH). Though year-round services are also available, emergency facilities target an increased demand during the winter months. Homeless men and women, who may be more comfortable sleeping outside during the spring and summer, are forced indoors by stormy, sometimes extreme weather. “They offer a safe place to sleep, and a warm place indoors,” said Steve Roberts, Executive Director of CFH. CFH began its seasonal program in 2008 at the request of the city, after hearing of a weather-related death. What began as a rudimentary emergency facility has since grown into a 50 bed unit. “Bellevue is slowly starting to realize and slowly coming to grips with the fact that there is a need,” said Beamer. “You might think, how in such an affluent area as East King County, there is homeless. But the same issues happen to people everywhere,” said Leuzzi. Eastside’s women’s shelter opened Nov. 1 at Redmond United Methodist church. It will be joined Nov. 15 by the opening of the men’s shelter at St. Peter’s United Methodist church. Both shelters will remain open from 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. daily, and will offer two warm meals a night.

Executive Development Institute names new executive director The Executive Development Institute has selected Alan Sugiyama as the organization’s new executive director. The institute is the only Pacific Northwest nonprofit organization that focuses on leadership training for multiethnic professionals. Sugiyama will start as executive director on Jan. 2, 2013. EDI’s current executive director, Starr Macdonald, announced her retirement after serving 10 years. “Leaders aren’t born, they are developed and EDI is the perfect agency to do that,” said Sugiyama. “It’s like a dream come true to be able to help develop our community’s future leaders.” Sugiyama is the founder and former
Executive Director of the Center for Career Alternatives (CCA), a nationally and locally award-winning agency that provided education, employment and Alan Sugiyama training to a culturally diverse group of adults and youth, in both King and Snohomish counties. During his tenure at CCA, Sugiyama created about 200 programs that served over 30,000 participants. In 2009, he was recognized as “Favorite Executive Director” by the International Examiner’s “Reader’s
A nonprofit community music school
Choice Award.” After serving 30 years, he retired from CCA in 2009 and continued serving community organizations as a consultant. “Alan’s community connections combined with his experience and passion for developing diverse global leaders make him ideal for this position,” said Wallace Greene, board president of EDI. “We are excited to welcome him to EDI and know he will hit the ground running.” Sugiyama has served on more than 100 boards and committees throughout his career. In 1989, he became the first Asian American elected to the Seattle School Board. For his lifetime of service, the NW Asian Weekly presented Sugiyama with their “Lifetime Leadership Award.” For the past three years, he was also selected
as the International Examiner’s “Favorite Community Activist.” In 2007, he received University of Washington’s highest diversity award, the “Charles Odegaard Award.” In 2011, he received Seattle Central Community College’s first annual “Distinguished Alumni Award.” Sugiyama was introduced at EDI’s 19th gala dinner honoring 47 graduates at the Bellevue Westin last week. EDI collaborates with 50 Northwest corporations such as Boeing, Microsoft, Key Bank and Nike to provide business relevant, culturally tailored leadership training for Asian Pacific Islander and Hispanic participants. The leadership institute has built a community of close to 700 alumni including this year’s graduates in the Greater Seattle and Portland areas.

For perfect
pearly whites W
Plan a visit to the dentist before the holidays
e all love to look our best over the Christmas holidays. Women search for the perfect New Year’s Eve dress, men hope to find some elegant yet comfortable shoes, and appointments have to be made for hairstyles, manicures, and beauty treatments. But don’t forget one essential element in all that turmoil: your smile. Just think of all those hugs and kisses that are a big part of the Christmas tradition! A visit to your dentist or denturist will help you freshen up your smile so you can be comfortable getting close to others. Visiting a dentist before the Christmas holidays is a wise move. He or she will not only evaluate the general state of your oral health, they will also ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible for the festive season. With a good cleaning and up-to-date repair or cosmetic work, you will be much more comfortable
making an entrance and cozying up to loved ones for intimate fireside conversations. If you have a dental prosthesis, otherwise known as dentures, now is a good time to book a check-up. For optimal comfort and a healthy-looking smile, your prosthesis should be examined on a yearly basis. During your visit, the denturist will use all the latest equipment to ensure a perfect fit. If you have problems with odour, stains, or slipping, this is the time to bring them up so the denturist can resolve the issue immediately with modifications or advice. He or she will also clean and polish your dentures, making them shine like new.
You’ll be proud to show off your fresh breath and radiant smile while unwrapping gifts or having fun at family or office festivities. So stop dithering and give yourself the gift of a beautiful smile this Christmas!
More than trendy clothes, fashionable shoes or beautiful jewelry, your smile is a social tool and the key to seduction. It also builds tremendous self-confidence.
After a visit to your dentist or denturist you’ll be proud to show off your beautiful smile at all those holiday parties.

Alternative to CPAP Therapy Today approximately 18 million, or 1 in 15 Americans experience Sleep Apnea, a sleep disorder involving the airway that disrupts a person’s sleep often leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, overall poor health, and in some cases, even death. According to Dr. Jeffery Doneskey, Oral Medicine Specialist and founder of The Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center in Bellevue, therapy for the disorder can be difficult. “The most common treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) involves the use of a medical breathing device called a CPAP, “ said Doneskey. CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure, delivers air through a mask worn over the nose during sleep in order to help maintain an open airway. While CPAP can provide an effective solution, Doneskey reports that there are significant reasons why some people are unwilling or unable to use CPAP. “For example, restless sleepers often report having difficulty with getting
comfortable and keeping the mask on during the night. Others may have trouble keeping a seal around the mask and must use head straps to keep their mouth closed while asleep,” said Doneskey. According to Doneskey, patients also express lifestyle concerns such as the inconvenience of taking CPAP along when they travel or go on vacation. At The Sleep Apnea & Facial Pain Center, Doneskey reports high levels of patient satisfaction, compliance and success with a new oral appliance called “The SilentPartner™, a jawfriendly FDA approved oral airway dilator that Doneskey himself helped develop. According to Doneskey, The SilentPartner is a comfortable, fully adjustable mouth appliance that allows the jaw to be safely placed in the optimum position to keep the airway open. In addition to keeping the airway open, The SilentPartner eliminates snoring in most patients while protecting the
teeth of patients who clench during their sleep. This appliance is so well received that according to Doneskey, more than 90 percent of his patients over the last 5 years are able to use The Silent-Partner on a full time basis.
The SilentPartner™
is used to effectively treat: • Snoring • Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Patients who are unable to use CPAP • TMJ clicking and locking • Classic TMJ disorders

Eastside Story
What’s happening in nearby cities ■ After more than a decade of discussions, West Hill residents have made it clear they don’t want to annex to Renton. Annexation to Renton was failing by about 10 percent points. The vote ends the City of Renton’s discussions with King County about who will govern West Hill. A ruptured beaver dam flooded a family home outside Duvall on Nov. 5 as a wall of water four or five feet high crashed down a hillside into their home. The family was away at the time – at work or school. The house was saved because the flooding pushed a huge pile of debris up to shelter the house and shed from the main impact. Friends and neighbors came that afternoon and worked till dark to start the clean-up. ■ A Kirkland couple and a former police
officer from Florida were sentenced Oct. 26 for being involved in mortgage fraud scheme in Florida. Dating back to 1990, the trio plotted to buy residential property in Sarasota by lying about the property’s price, their intended use of the property, employment information, income and assets, to name a few, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Their goal was to obtain the best loan possible for each property and sell the property in a few years. The scheme came to an end in 2008 when the real estate market collapsed. ■ Noticing a turnaround in the housing market, the Renton School District has started the process to sell several pieces of undeveloped land the district owns. However, the district faces some opposition in the Tiffany Park neighborhood from people who don’t want to see about 20 acres of land become single-family homes. The district wanted to start the process to sell the land back in 2008, but the failing U.S. economy and housing market caused it to change its mind. That isn’t the case anymore. ■ A convicted felon who escaped from the Monroe Correctional Complex on Nov. 7, was recaptured near North Bend. A King County Sheriff ’s search dog team as well as SWAT members searched the area of the Rattlesnake Ridge trailhead after receiving a tip from a hiker. When police caught up with the felon, he attempted to flee, but was stopped by the
police dog. A large penguin waddling around downtown Redmond on Nov. 9 was actually Redmond Elementary School Principal Joyce Teshima. She donned the costume when students raised nearly $10,000 for the school. For those wondering, the costume made her head really hot, Teshima said. ■ A non-binding advisory vote in Sammamish appears to support development of a $30 million Community and Aquatic Center. Operation and construction agreements for the Community Center aren’t yet completed, meaning it could take some time before the the City Council makes any final decision. ■ Kirkland’s Lake Washington Institute of Technology board of trustees has appointed Dr. Sharon McGavick as interim president of the college. She replaces Dr. David Woodall, who died suddenly on Sept. 3, 2012. McGavick served as LWIT’s president from 2008 to 2011. During McGavick’s recent presidency at LWIT she lead the college toward its first applied baccalaureate degree.
Grants offered to laid-off T-Mobile workers in Oregon
The U.S. Department of Labor will provide a $198,495 National Emergency Grant to provide job training and support services to about 120 workers affected by the closure of T-Mobile USA Inc.’s facility in Redmond, Ore. The funding, awarded to the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, will help eligible workers find re-employment in the state in conjunction with services they will receive as a result of their eligibility for Trade Adjustment Assistance benefits. Bellevue-based T-Mobile is the American subsidiary of German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom AG. In March 2012, T-Mobile workers at the Redmond location were given notice of that facility’s pending closure.

What’s happening in sports and recreation
Knights win 4A, Bellevue’s Williams takes two more

Newport’s girls swim and dive team captured the 4A team crown for the first time in more than two decades. Bellevue sophomore Kim Williams captured two individual titles to add to the championship she won as a freshman in 2011. COURTESY PHOTO, Newport Swim and Dive and Al Williams
BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Newport waited 26 years between state swim and dive state titles, but the Knights were back atop the podium this weekend at King County Aquatic Center, taking the team scoring championship with the deepest squad in the state. Despite not winning an individual event or team relay, coach Eric Bartleson’s team was in front when the final event was finished as a host of underclassmen bolstered the team’s depth. One of the freshman who made an impact was Elisa Fang, who finished fourth in the 50 free, sixth in the 100 backstroke and also swam on a pair of relays, including the third place finishing 200 medley relay squad that also included Jenny Huo, Amelia Liu and Emily Waddell. Maggie Pana also had a standout performance for Newport with a fifth place finish in the 200 freestyle and fourth place in the 500 free. Lorea Gwo School record holder Lorea Gwo was third in the 50 free, just in front of Fang, and took the same spot in the 100 butterfly. Gwo, Huo, Waddell and Pana teamed to earn the team’s best finish of the met in the 200 free relay, where they were second in a time of one minute, 41.91 seconds. It was Fang, Pana, Gwo and Liu in the 400 free relay, the final event of the day, where the Knights finished third to secure the team scoring title.
Wolverines fifth; Williams nabs two titles
Bellevue sophomore Kim Williams added two more state championships on Saturday, taking home the 3A state title in the 200 yard individual medley and 100 yard backstroke, earning an automatic All-American time in both events. “It was really fun, I just felt like a kid again,” Williams said of her second state swim and dive meet. “I just tried to relax and have fun.” Williams and Mercer Island’s Grace Wold faced-off in one of the day’s main events in the 200 IM, where Wold came out in front in 2011. The Mercer Island senior shaved some six-seconds off her preliminary time to finish in two minutes, 1.87 seconds, but she was fractions behind Williams’ time of 2:01.20, which was a personal best more than eight-seconds faster than the time she posted the day before in qualifying.
It was far from the first time the two KingCo and club swimming rivals have met in the pool. “I’ve raced against her since I was 11 or 12 years old,” Williams said. “It’s just really fun to race her. She pushed me really hard.” It was not nearly the same challenge in the 100 breast, where Williams flew past the competition and finished more than two-seconds in front of her closest competitor in 1:03.49. She teamed with Naomi Ngo, Linnea Uyeno and Natalie Fontana to bring home a fifth place finish in the 200 medley relay as well. The same foursome was fourth in the 400 free relay and Ngo finished sixth in the finals of the 200 IM and seventh in the 100 fly. Williams said after a pressure-packed 2011 meet, where she took her first individual state title in the 100 backstroke, her focus was on remaining confident and loose with her teammates and focusing on the experience rather than the outcome. “I wasn’t happy after state last year because I was so stressed out and put so much pressure on myself,” she said. “This year, it wasn’t a big deal. I didn’t care what my time was, it was just really fun.” Bellevue ended the meet in fifth place as a team while Mercer Island won the team scoring going away. Three of the top four team finishers were from the Sea-King district.
Totems send five to 2A meet
Sammamish sent five to the 2A state meet, including freshman McKenna Troje, who finished eighth in the diving competition. Riley Martin, Gillian Matthes, Carmen Wai and Blaire Ziegan swam on a pair of relay teams and Matthes also made the field in the 100 breaststroke.
Saints back in 3A
Interlake’s Anna Kimura, CC Hagen, Lianna Sutich and Cassidy McDermott made the B Final in the 200 medley relay. Hagen also made the B Final in the 50 free while Sutich and Kimura swam the 100 fly.

M
ost of us have been bullied at some point, whether we endured teasing, name-calling, or even physical aggression. Although the initial sting may go away, the memories of the experience haunt some people for the rest of their lives. Encountering a bully can ruin a child’s school experience. Now with cyberbullying, your child can be attacked in the safety of your own home. Bullying occurs at almost any age, but it’s most prevalent in middle school. As a parent, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of a child being bullied. These may include emotional signals Patti Skeltonsuch as withdrawal, a drop in grades or McGougan loss of friends; and visible effects such as torn clothing, bruises or other signs of fighting. Another indication of bullying is when your

child becomes upset about going to school, sports practice, daycare, or wherever the bullying is occurring. Danny Hanson, who oversees the PEACE Anti-bullying Program at Youth Eastside Services, recommends that parents encourage children to start with simple steps after telling school personnel about the problem. First, avoid a bully by playing in a different area. Because there is safety in numbers, he also suggests hanging out with a buddy. Finally, Hanson reminds parents to encourage kids who witness bullying to speak up and report it to teachers or an adult, even if it wasn’t directed at them. It’s important to encourage your child to tell you when another child is being hurtful, either physically or emotionally. Don’t assume your child knows how to talk to a teacher or counselor if the incidents involve a classmate. Rehearse how to ask an adult for help — ideally before any bullying has occurred. Check in regularly to ascertain if your child continues to be bullied. You may need to get involved and talk to school personnel. Unless you have an existing relationship with a family, it’s best to avoid confronting a child bully or the parents of a bully. This can backfire and result in more aggressive behavior. If your child is having a difficult time overcoming the harm inflicted by a bully, it may be a good idea to seek counseling to avoid long-term issues. Patti Skelton-McGougan is executive director of Youth Eastside Services. For more information, call 425-747-4937 or go to www.youtheastsideservices.org.

You know you’re seeing good theater when there’s no telling where your emotions will take you next. First, you laugh. It’s that hilarious moment when the lead character drinks too much. Next, you’re swept off your feet. The boy next door finally breaks down and says, “I love you.” Then, you cry. You’ve reached the dreaded battle between the head and the heart. Before you even realize, you’re bouncing in your seat to another catchy tune. You’ll feel all of this, and more, upon seeing Village Theatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Tradition. It’s the little things in life that shape us into the people were supposed to be. It’s also the opening number of the award–winning musical – and the overarching theme tying the story together. Based on “Tevye and His Daughters” and other tales from Yiddish author and playwright Sholem Aleichem, the story follows Tevye, a struggling milkman in the fictional Russian village of Anatevka. In the face of eviction by the Tsarist regime, Tevye struggles to cope with a variety of personal issues: pressure from his wife to find suitable matches for their three eldest daughters, the strong–willed actions of said daughters and the traditional customs of his Jewish faith. Directed by David Ira Goldstein and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, Village Theatre’s production of “Fiddler of the Roof ” features a star–studded cast, led by Eric Polani Jensen and Bobbi Kotula in the roles of Tevye and his wife, Golde. Keeping with tradition, Jensen’s Tevye is a passionate and loyal Papa, a patriarch whose headstrong and hilarious – and an absolutely softy when it comes to the women in his life. Paired with Kotula’s Golde, sparks fly. Sprinkled with hilarious anecdotes from the town’s matchmaker, Yente (played with zest by Laura Kenny), and elaborate musical numbers in the form of “Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” and “The Dream,” “Fiddler” takes us on a ride like no other – highlighting

Members of the ensemble perform the beloved bottle dance. PHOTO BY JAY KOH, PROPERTY OF VILLAGE THEATRE. the good and bad that come with finding, fostering and letting love grow. But the soul of the show lies in the relationships between Tevye and his eldest daughters – Tzeitel (Jennifer Weingarten), Hodel (Emily Cawley) and Chava (Mara Solar) – whose free spirits and nontraditional routes to marriage bring Tevye’s beliefs to the very brink. As explained by Tevye in the opening scene, the Fiddler standing precariously on the roof is a metaphor for surviving, and prospering, in the face of change - an idea that is addressed time and time again throughout the production. The famous “bottle dance” proved another high point of the production, with members of the ensemble scooting across the stage in sync as glass bottles balanced precariously atop their heads. Like the unstable Fiddler, the dance is a point of uncertainty and a perfect example of finding balance between what’s expected - and what we aspire to be. “Fiddler on the Roof ” runs through Dec. 30 at the Francis J.

School of Rock opens Bellevue location
Irish dancers to compete in regional championship
BY KEEGAN PROSSER Bellevue Reporter
The Puget Sound region has long been a breeding ground for talented musicians - and the School of Rock may be partly to thank. This weekend, the music program - which already boast more than 90 locations worldwide will open it’s second Washington locale. In Bellevue. Managed by Washington native Kris Kierulff, the new location has been in development for the past year. Kierulff, who grew up on the Eastside, got his start in the music industry by attending all-ages shows at the Old Firehouse in Redmond. “I loved community of live music,� Kierulff said. “And fell in love with live music aspect of the music business.� Looking to instill his love of music in kids, Kierulff designed his own degree in college that focused on youth empowerment through artistic expression, and has since worked a variety of jobs on the business side of the music industry - including working as a booking agent and tour manager for several years. Noting the high burnout rate of people who work in the music industry, Kierulff said he found himself at a crossroads five years ago, trying to figure out what he was going to do next. That’s when he was offered a job to manage the School of Rock’s Seattle locale. “It was just the perfect fit,� he said. Kierulff says the idea for a School of Rock location on the Eastside came about because the company is looking to expand across the country. “They really believed in the team and staff at the Seattle School and felt they could really invest in Bellevue,� Kierulff said. Kierulff said some staff from the Seattle school will also work in Bellevue. However, the new location has also provided the opportunity for him to hire instructors he didn’t

There will also be a handful of students who currently attend the Seattle School who will be moving to the Bellevue location. “Bellevue parents are excited to have a school that’s closer,� Kierulff said. In regard to the school’s curriculum, Kierulff said the core of what they do is performance based music education. “We put on shows to teach music, we don’t teach music to put on shows,� Kierulff said. School of Rock students from the Seattle location have played shows at the Crocodile, Neumos and both Showbox venues, as well as stages at Bumbershoot and Seafair. School of Rock Bellevue will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m. at 14330 NE 20th Street, Bellevue. The event will also feature a drum clinic with legendary Santana member, Michael Shrieve.
This weekend more than 1,000 Irish dancers will gather in Bellevue for the Western Region Oireachtas - a regional Irish Dance Championship being held in Bellevue Nov. 16-18. The Western US Region is one of seven regions in North America as set forth by the IDTANA (Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America). The region follows the rules of both the IDTANA and the governing body in Ireland, An Coimisiun le Rince Gaelacha, and includes dancers and schools from the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Dancers will compete in hopes of qualifying for the World Irish Dance Championships in Boston next spring. Taking place at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, this mark’s the competition return to the Northwest after more than 10 years away. Recent competitions have taken place in California and Denver. “It’s all the best dancers from the region� said Bellevue resident Mary Herridge. Herridge’s three children have taken Irish dance lessons at Tara Academy in Seattle since they were four years old. On Saturday, her son Brendan will compete in the under-16 male category. He is currently a student at Sammamish High School. In addition to team competition, the championship will feature categories for solo competitors and dance drama. The latter category features groups acting out traditional Irish stories and folklore with their bodies. The Western Region Oireachtas begins at 8 a.m. each day and is free and open to the public. The schedule is as follows: girls (under 11) dance Friday; boys (all) dance Saturday morning; teens and dance drama dance Saturday afternoon; girls (15-plus) dance Sunday. Photos are not allowed during the competition but are allowed during the awards ceremony each evening.

LET ME HELP YOU REGAIN THE FEELING IN YOUR HANDS AND FEET!
Do you suffer from peripheral neuropathy? If you suffer from a single one of these torturous symptoms—numbness, tingling, burning or sharp nerve pain—you MUST DISCOVER our Neuropathy Recovery Program! Neuropathy affects every part of your life – walking, sitting, sleeping, socializing, your ability to enjoy relationships and so much more. If you have tried “everything” like (Anodyne therapy, physical therapy, Lyrica, Neurontin or other medications) and you are not getting the lasting results you want, then this may be the most important information you have ever read! There is a simple reason that most treatments fail. . .because, at best, they only cover up your symptoms and do not heal your damaged nerves. We all know that there is a tremendous difference between covering up your symptoms or actually fixing the underlying problem. So, why settle for “band-aid care” when our Neuropathy Recovery Program is available?
Do you have any of the following symptoms. . . ❑ Pins and needles feeling ❑ Numbness in the hands or feet ❑ Tingling or burning sensations ❑ Weakness in the Legs and Toes ❑ Sharp shooting or burning pains ❑ A feeling like a sock is rolled up under your toes? If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

If you are like most people who suffer from peripheral neuropathy, you have probably tried everything. You have probably been to specialists, tried alternative health care and all of the latest and greatest miracle cures. Unfortunately, there is no gimmick, no quick fix and no pill that will ever make your neuropathy go away permanently. What we do in our office is the REAL THING! I am confident that our Neuropathy Recovery Program is something you haven’t tried before and may be the answer you are looking for. My name is Dr. Daniel P. Hanson. I am a board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist. I am one of only approximately 471 Carrick Trained Chiropractic Neurologists in the world. I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 16 years. The neuropathy treatment program I provide is much more effective than regular chiropractic and taking various medications like Gabapentin. My very effective, life changing treatment involves using LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY, COLD LASER THERAPY and EXERCISE WITH OXYGEN which focuses on healing your damaged nerves and poor circulations in the feet/hands. It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic neurology and LASER therapy will be your neuropathy solution.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING RID OF YOUR PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY AND IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH ONCE AND FOR ALL, LET ME HELP YOU AND CALL TODAY!

White Gold
Digging British Columbia’s legendary mother lode.
Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is filled by what you see: mountains on every horizon— rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts. Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky. Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defies description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because finding it brings a fortune in fun. You’ll know that after your first run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the
lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one? Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering. Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and offpiste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt. Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also find friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food. Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that first turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold. SKI IT TO BELIEVE IT.com
