Laughing it up – again
Northwest comedy show to relaunch at Bellevue site BY KEVIN ENDEJAN REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
Chris Cashman’s childhood aspirations always differed a little from friends’, which should come as no surprise given his namesake. “Some kids have that fantasy making that three-point shot as the buzzer expires, or the touchdown, or whatever,” said the 1996 graduate of Eastlake in Sammamish and long-time Issaquah resident. “My fantasy had always been right before ‘Almost Live’ starts, and I’m standing right behind that door ready to come out.”
DID YOU KNOW? Chris Cashman starred in an episode of “Almost Live” when he was in the seventh grade called “Sluggy.” The episode parodied the show “Lassie” focusing on the bond between a boy and his slug. Chris was nominated for an Emmy award for his performance, but lost out to his father, Pat. Chris credits that experience for him catching the bug to become a television star. “The 206” premiers Jan. 5 on NBC, follwing Saturday Night Live. Chris, son of local actor and comedian Pat Cashman, will finally get to live out a version of his dream in January
when he, his dad and comedian John Keister launch “The 206” — a television show described as similar to the former skit show “Almost Live,” but at the same time, very different. “We keep insisting this is a different thing,” Chris Cashman said. “It’s going to be similar humor, but it’s not going to look the same.” The opportunity is a dream come true for Cashman, now 35, married and a father of two girls, 5 and 3. After graduating from high school, he went to Washington State University with the intent of earning a communications degree and following in his father’s footsteps on “Almost Live.” That dream was crushed in 1999, his junior year at

A 30-year-old Seattle man is dead and another was injured after an early morning shooting at Bellevue’s Munchbar on Monday, Dec. 24. Bellevue Police have identified 19 year-old, Ja’mari Alexander Alan Jones as a suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. The shooter remains at-large, and is believed to be armed and dangerous. More than 600 people reportedly packed the Bellevue Square bar and reports indicate a number of players from the Seattle Seahawks were also present when the shooting occurred around 1 a.m. The injured victim, also male, was taken to Overlake Medical Center to be treated for a gunshot wound. Jones is described Ja’mari Alexander Alan as driving a white Nissan Jones. COURTESY PHOTO, Bellevue Maxima with Washington Police Department license plate AHZ1672. He is 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs 140 pounds. Police are advising the public not to contact him, but to call 9-1-1. Jones was also convicted at the age of 16, in the murder of Ed McMichael, better known as “Tuba Man,” a local street musician who was beaten to death in downtown Seattle. He was sentenced to up to 72 weeks in juvenile detention, and a consecutive 36 weeks for an unrelated robbery. The victim has been identified by friends and a number of fundraising sites that have cropped up since the shooting, as DeShawn Milliken, 30, a graduate of Garfield High School. One site on YouCaring. com, a platform for free online fundraising, vowed to raise $10,000 for funeral and memorial expenses. He was described as a compassionate, natural-leader. Bellevue police are asking anyone with information to contact the tip line at 425-452-2564 or email pdtipline@bellevuewa.gov.

Interlake High School students Nivedita Potapragada and Anais Gurrola got an upclose look into some of the world’s leading research labs at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center last month. The pair were among approximately 230 students from around the state to attend “Hutch High” in November. The students isolated and spooled DNA,
learned the art of micropipetting and used a germ-revealing black light to test their skills at hand washing. Hutch High also involved tours of working laboratories and presentations from Fred Hutch scientists about sickle cell disease, immune systems, chromosomes and how researchers use high-powered microscopes to find new ways to fight cancer.
Attempted burglaries in Medina, Clyde Hill A Medina resident heard someone knock at the front door of their home near Northeast 22nd Street and 78th Avenue Northeast on Wednesday, Dec. 26, at 6:45 a.m., and then shortly after, louder pounding on the front door. After yelling out, the resident heard a vehicle drive away. No one gained entry to the home, but there was some damage to the front door as
someone had attempted to force the door open. At about 8:35 a.m., Clyde Hill had a similar incident in the area of Northeast 25th and 94th Avenue Northeast. As in the Medina case, there was first a knock at the door before there was an attempt to force entry. The person(s) were scared off by noise from the resident before they gained entry to the home.

Make-A-Wish helps Bellevue girl BY CELINA KAREIVA
BELLEVUE REPORTER
A 12-year-old Bellevue girl was the recipient of the Make-A-Wish Believe campaign Dec. 14, sponsored by Macy’s. Brooke, who has Hodgkin’s disease, will be awarded a family vacation to Spa Atlantis in the Bahamas next spring. In addition to the vacation, Macy’s staff presented her with luggage for the trip, and treated her to a mini-makeover. “With treatment, you’re often in and out of the hospital,” said Linh Nguyen of the local Make-A-Wish chapter. “You don’t get much time to spend with the family, and time spent together is usually focused on the medical condition, or treatment. So [Brooke] had the wish to spend time with her family.” After greeting her at the entrance to Macy’s, Brooke and her friends shoveled hundreds of letters into the Believe mailbox, 1,400 of which she’d collected herself. “The wonderful thing is, Brooke got behind this campaign herself,” said Nguyen. “She rallied her own friends
and peers...This was supposed to be about her.” Macy’s pledged to donate $1 for every letter mailed through the Believe program, or up to $1 million to the Make-A-Wish organization. Nationally, the campaign grants over 300 wishes a year. Brooke plans to leave for her vacation cruise in April of next year. Celina Kareiva: 425-453-4290; ckareiva@bellevuereporter.com

County OK panel for Eastside Rail Corridor
The Metropolitan King County Council acknowledged the regional significance of the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) that stretches from King to Snohomish counties, by adopting a legislative package Dec. 10 that keeps the former rail line under public control. The corridor runs through Bellevue just east of I-405. “By approving the public’s ownership of the Eastside Rail Corridor, we are planting the seeds for future generations of economic benefits through transportation options,” said Council Vice Chair Jane Hague who as Chair of the Committee of the Whole, directed the council’s deliberation on the ERC proposal. Hague represents Bellevue on the County Council. Along with approving a legislative package introduced by the County Executive that authorizes the purchase of more than 15 miles along the ERC, the council unanimously adopted legislation to establish the Eastside Rail Corridor Regional Advisory Council. The Advisory Council will involve stakeholders along the ERC to coordinate the regional planning process for land that could support trails, light rail and/or passenger rail service, and an array of utility services. The vote was the final step in the effort to maintain the 42-mile corridor and prevent it from being broken up and sold for private development. The goal of the Advisory Council is to oversee the partner planning process including implementing and coordinating the rail, trail and utility uses in the corridor, coordinating with affected cities around local planning and development with the regional uses and overseeing the work of a technical staff work group.

DIRTY DENTURE DANGER
Denture wearers have long been advised to take equally good care of their replacement teeth as they do their natural teeth. Now, a recent study underscores the importance of doing so. Researchers have found that dentures are coated with a sticky layer of bacteria known as “biofilm.” The potential danger in this coating of bacteria is that it may consist of drug-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteria (MRSA), which can be breathed into the lungs to cause hard-totreat infections. This finding is one of many recent studies that have found links between poor oral health and systemic disease. The take-away advice for denture wearers continues to be to regularly clean their dentures according to their dentists’ recommendations. Tooth brushing plays an important everyday role for personal oral hygiene and effective plaque removal. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we believe oral health is a long-term commitment we share with each patient. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue, where we are sensitive to the needs of all age groups, giving everyone the patience and empathy they need.

EDITORIAL
Guns: First stop the killing power
M
ere days after Adam Lanza gunned down 20 little kids and six adults in Newtown, Conn., the National Rifle Association stepped before the public – and managed to make things worse. The cure for deranged gunmen shooting our kids, according to Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s chief executive officer, is to have armed police officers in every school. According to one figure we saw, there are more than 100,000 public schools in this country. Another source says the average cost of putting an armed police officer at every school doorway is about $110,000 per officer a year. LaPierre says the NRA is ready and willing to train volunteers to stand guard at the schoolhouse door. But being trained doesn’t equate to professional. If we want both – and, of course, we would – that means police. Even if the country were to follow LaPierre’s suggestion, how do we protect gatherings of people at other locations? Do we station armed police officers throughout our shopping malls? How about at public libraries? While there are many things we can do to help prevent such tragedies as in Newtown, the first step to deal with guns, particularly those that possess magazines with large numbers of bullets that make it easy for someone to go on a killing spree. As we said last week, we’re not calling for an end to the Second Amendment. But there does have to be a reasonable discussion of how to make this country safer. That has to start with the root of the problem – guns and the obscene killing power that some of them possess.

Accused shooter no rookie to violent crime
O
ne of the most valued and worthwhile principles in the American justice system is the idea that we are all “innocent until proven guilty.” Though in the case of Ja’mari Alexander-Alan Jones, I’m having a hard time applying it. Jones is wanted by Bellevue police for his involvement in a shooting at Bellevue Square’s Munchbar that left a Seattle man dead and another individual wounded in the early-morning hours of Dec. 24. He is perhaps better known for his role in the slaying of Ed McMichael, the “Tuba Man,” in 2008. McMichael was a fixture in the Seattle sports community for his exuberant tuba melodies in front of SafeCo and CenturyLink Fields, Josh Suman and the Kingdome before that. He was beaten and left for dead by three teenagers, including Jones, to the dismay and outrage of the community. According to records, Jones served less than a year in a juvenile facility after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the Tuba Man case.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK Now, he’s accused of killing again. I don’t know the sort of wrangling that went on behind closed doors with Jones and his co-defendants, including Billy Chambers (a man now facing a 10-year sentence in an unrelated case for being a felon in possession of a firearm). But I know any deal that put him back on the streets so soon apparently was a bad one for the people of Seattle, Bellevue and King County. Hopefully, Jones will turn himself in and face the consequences of any actions he may have been involved in. And, if found guilty, here’s to hoping Jones receives a sentence that is reflective of the heinous and careless crime he is accused of. And that a Munchbar patron from Seattle, a man with a tuba and their loved ones receive justice. Josh Suman is a staff writer for the Bellevue Reporter.

federal representatives, but also our state representatives. Our state could and should have among the strictest gun laws in the country, yet the continual lack of response from both representatives and citizens suggest that we are content to leave weapons in the hands of fragile human beings. Washington could and should, be at the
vanguard of meaningful change. In 1996, a similar school shooting at Dunblane in Scotland, prompted the UK government to quickly ban all handguns. This is what a capable, effective and representative government can do. It’s time for our lawmakers to stop talking the game and start acting.

WSU, when after 15 years on the air, the hyper-local skit show known for its jokes about regional stereotypes was canceled by KING-TV. Cashman completed his degree and went on to do several successful projects on radio and TV, including serving as the face of KSTW channel 11 for five years, working on “Evening Magazine” and hosting of 1 vs. 100 on XBox Live — a game that holds the Guinness Record for most contestants in a game show at one time. Even with all his accomplishments in production and acting, the six-time Northwest Emmy winner admitted the absence of “Almost Live” always haunted him. “I was always really devastated that ultimately what I wanted to do wasn’t there,” he said. “I was the kid dreaming of playing in the Big Leagues and to know there was no Big Leagues anymore, was very hard to get over.” It was during a meeting last spring, Cashman’s dream was reborn.

It left me in the awkward position of exposing the plagiarizing riddle winner – or admitting to the teacher that I’d brought comic books to school. So I bit my tongue and accepted the consolation prize. It was my first actual taste of a miscarriage of justice. But I’ve made peace with it. It doesn’t matter anymore. Really. Hardly ever think about it. I’ve moved on. Speaking of chickens – which I did several sentences ago – my wife and I recently acquired two chickens. Live ones. That cluck. And, yes, peck. If you live in Bellevue, you can have up to six chickens, as long as the coop is at least 15 feet from your property line. And 50 feet from a KFC. If you only have six hens, they’re classified as pets. But you will be responsible if they attack mailmen or chase cars. Posting a “Beware of Chickens” sign is a good idea. Only hens are allowed in Bellevue – no roosters. This ordinance is just another example of the on-going advance of women’s rights. My grandpa always used to say that a not-too-bright fellow was “dumber than a chicken.” As a new member of the
with his dad and Keister on the nationally syndicated PBS show, “Biz Kids,” someone casually brought up the idea of recreating a Northwest-themed comedy show. That’s all it took to get the ball rolling. Cashman immediately prepared skits with his dad and Keister, all with the intent of unveiling them in a couple of months in front of the most ideal audience he could think of — the Northwest Emmys. “That essentially lit the curtains on fire,” he said. “We realized, like it or not, we now have a show, or at least an expectation of a show.” The short trailer picked up thousands of hits on YouTube and spread quickly through Facebook and Twitter. When a special live teaser show in Seattle sold out within minutes, they knew they had something. Heavyweight sponsors like Alaska Airlines and Northwest Cadillac hopped on board as well as the former home of “Almost Live,” KING-TV, which will air the first episode of “The 206” Jan. 5, following “Saturday Night Live.” Cashman said the show will have many features “Almost Live” had, in that it will poke fun at surrounding communities and

“Poultry Anti-Defamation League,” I’m here to say that if grandpa were still around, he would owe chickens everywhere an apology. Our two chickens seem nearly as smart as dogs and cats – and perhaps the equal of some of the humans I know – especially a certain cousin whom I will not name. Plus chickens tend to smell better than Cousin Jerry. Oops. OK, maybe a chicken isn’t as smart as certain dogs like Lassie. TIMMY: “Henny Penny! I’ve fallen down a well! Go get help!” Hens offer a huge bonus as pets: They provide eggs for breakfast. A good layer can crank ‘em out once a day. My wife and I also are custodians of two horses. There is nothing that either of them lays each day that you’d want for breakfast. So kudos to chickens – who have other talents. For one thing, they can fly. Not as high as eagles – but a lot higher than any dumb terrapin could even dream of. Sorry. Guess I’m not really over it. Pat Cashman can be reached at pat@patcashman.com.

hot-button local issues. He noted towns have changed from what they used to be, but that is going to make it fun. “Ballard is hip now,” Cashman said. “When ‘Almost Live’ was on the air, Ballard was a place people were getting their hips replaced.” The large difference for the new show will lie in its appearance and cast size. Instead of giant cameras, editing suites and television studios, the show will be shot on a much smaller scale in an old Bellevue firehouse off of 148th Avenue Southeast. The crowd will circle around the cast as they perform skits — an idea Cashman said he got from watching the BBC show “Top Gear.” “When you go there, you are part of the show, you will be on the show,” he said. “You

will be seen, nose-picking and all.” Cashman is excited to see where the journey takes him, his dad and Keister in the coming months. “As silly as it sounds, we feel like it’s almost a way to give back,” he said. “People want to laugh at themselves, their neighborhood and their jobs. This is an opportunity to rekindle something that was really special because it was Northwest.” It’s also an opportunity for Cashman to live out a dream once thought lost.

hen my son was a newborn I survived 2 a.m. feedings by listening to jazz. Something about Kathy’s Waltz was very therapeutic as a new mother with a squalling newborn. This is why I felt compelled to tell my son of the recent passing of Dave Brubeck. Whether he knew it or not, the album “Time Out” was an integral part of his first months on this earth. Our conversation about Brubeck turned into an Darcy Brixey exploration of jazz itself. My kids and I often explore music genres and periods together when I bring home various CDs from the library. I hope it instills some sort of appreciation, in the same way I learned about rock through summers poring over my dad’s Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath collections. The best way to teach someone about music is to listen to it. The Ken Burns documentary on jazz seemed like a perfect
match. I knew exactly where to find it, right when I needed it. Access Video is an online database with a vast collection of documentaries from a variety of sources.

When you work really hard and follow your passion, sometimes dreams really can come true. And if there is any evidence of this, it comes in the form of Ben Kadie. Already making waves as a budding filmmaker in Bellevue, the Interlake High School senior was recently named a National YoungArts Foundation Finalist in Cinematic Arts. The award, which includes a minimum $1000 scholarship, also includes an all-expense-paid trip next month to Miami for YoungArts Week. Considered to be one of the most prestigious arts competitions for young adults, the 32nd annual YoungArts Week takes place Jan. 6-12, 2013 in Miami. As part of the program, Kadie will join 151 other finalists in a week of intense master classes with internationally renowned artists such as Adrian Grenier (1994 Alumnus in Theater), Marisa Tomei, Bobby McFerrin, Andrew Rannells (1997 Alumnus in Theater) and Bill T. Jones (YoungArts Artistic Advisor). Students will also have the opportunity to share their work each evening through performances, readings, exhibitions and screenings that are free and open to the public. YoungArts Week will culminate in An Affair of the Arts Performance and Gala on Jan. 12. “This year’s extremely talented students represent a diverse group whom we consider to be the most promising young artists in America today,” said Paul T. Lehr, YoungArt’s Executive Director. “The quality of this year’s winners is a testament to the strength of our expanding program.” Kadie was chosen as a finalist through a blind judging process from a pool of applicants representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as all U.S. territories. Kadie submitted an original short film entitled “The Painted Girl” (along with clips from his film “Alone Together”) as part of his application. Kadie says he chose these clips because he felt they were the best produced, most important stories he has told. “The Painted Girl” tells the story of Megan, a closeted gay 15-year-old, who runs away from her mother and her idealistic expectations. Hiding in an abandoned subway tunnel, Megan uses paint to create art for her mother. in hopes that the gallery will help her mother understand her better. Kadie filmed in downtown Seattle and in the 100-yearold underground bunkers of Fort Casey State Park, turning these locations into graffiti-covered subway tunnels using visual effects such as motion tracking and 3D modeling. During the YoungArts Week, monetary awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 will be presented to students exhibiting excellence in their discipline. From this pool of 152 finalists, up to 60 will also be nominated by YoungArts to become a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, 20 of whom will be selected for the honor by the White House appointed Commission on Presidential Scholars. U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts are awarded the opportunity to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and exhibit at the Smithsonian

Local author launches book, spotlighting local talents BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
When author Maureen Francisco emigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines at five years old, she struggled to keep up with her other English-speaking peers. Frustrated, but perseverant, she began watching newscasts and carefully practicing the words on the screen. A seed was planted. Years later, after graduating from Pacific Lutheran University, she found herself returning to journalism as a TV broadcaster. Francisco later transitioned into sales, working with an online marketing company, as she dabbled in modeling, writing and reality television along the way. Now, the Seattle-based author is releasing a book that exemplifies her own success and draws on her early love for storytelling. “It Takes Moxie: Off the Boat, or Out of School, to Making it Your Way in America,” will launch in mid-January and details through a series of narratives, how today’s leaders found their own formula for success. Among them, are James Sun, CEO of Kirkland-based Pirq, Richard Cho, general manager of the Portland Trailblazers, who grew up in Federal Way, and Dr. Connie Mariano, White House

They weren’t jobs most Americans would
Bellevue women to trace genealogies at Jan. 8 workshop A group of Bellevue women, many of them immigrants, get an opportunity to share the untold stories in their family histories at a Cultural Conversations workshop on Jan. 8 at the Crossroads Community Center. Carol Ross, an avid amateur genealogist, will lead the session, 1-2:30 p.m. She will explore the storytelling aspect of genealogy. Instead of focusing on the technical “how to” of tracing family history, she will ask participants to resurrect the stories that have never been told or seem to have ended abruptly. The pursuit of family history is popular in the U.S., with so many people who have migrated here from all around the world for generations. The topic resonates for Cultural Conversations, a women’s group with members from many countries. Ross was strongly influenced by the experience of her parents who were part of a great exodus of some 6 million African Americans from the South between 1915 and 1970, seeking opportunity and a better life. It wasn’t until Ross obtained technical expertise that she began to make strides in her genealogical research, but she notes that the art of storytelling about family history begins with what you know now. Cultural Conversations was launched in 2010 as a partnership between diverse women who wanted to connect with the community and with each other and with the City of Bellevue. Monthly gatherings, facilitated by the Neighborhood Outreach team, are free. Refreshments are served and women of all ages, faiths and cultures are welcome to attend. Crossroads Community Center is located at 16000 NE 10th St.
take, says Francisco, but they allowed her to support nine children and 40 some grandkids. “How do you [achieve success] in a lifetime? We all have 24 hours in a day and it’s what you do with it,” says Francisco. Many of the vignettes in “It Takes Moxie,” focus on the stories of immigrants who came to the U.S. with similarly humble beginnings. Francisco says Bellevue’s large foreign-born population and its community of innovators offered huge inspiration. Francisco points to Sun, a Kirklandbased entrepreneur that offers discounts similar to Groupon. An immigrant like Francisco, he came to the U.S. with very little money. “Not everybody is born with a silver spoon in their mouth or having gone to an Ivy League school,” she explained. “But these people and I came here and seized the opportunity around [them].” “It Takes Moxie” will be released in a launch party on Jan. 19.

2012: Tolls, politics and police in the news BY CELINA KAREIVA BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue started 2012 by finding itself in a new congressional district and ended the year with a fatal shooting at a popular downtown restaurant and lounge. In between it fought over light rail, saw tolls go into effect on SR 520, welcomed a new school superintendent of the Bellevue School District and a new president at Bellevue College. Here’s a quick look at the year that was.
January Bellevue joined south Seattle in a new 9th Congressional District, grouping it with Mercer Island and Newcastle with Renton, Seatac, Tukwila, Federal Way and Northeast Tacoma. It became the first district in the state of Washington to feature a population with a majority of non-white residents. Superintendent Amalia Cudeiro of the Bellevue school district resigned from her position weeks after taking medical leave to be with her mother, a cancer patient in California. Dr. Tim Mills was selected from a pool of 20 apTim Mills plicants to replace her, and was sworn in this July. Mills enters a three year contract with the district and will receive a salary of $237,000.
Drivers on I-90 saw increased traffic soon after tolls went into effect on SR 520, as commuters explored alternative routes. Eastbound traffic on I-90 increased by 20 percent in January alone, adding four minutes of travel time.
February NBA arena discussions come to Bellevue after the city’s downtown association announces its interest. Business leaders had been quietly pursuing an NHL/NBA arena for over a year, entertaining property locations at Auto Row and along Bel-Red. A visit by President Obama brought out protestors to the Westin Bellevue. Many complained about the expensive fundraisers hosted throughout the region, including lunch and entertainment at the Westin, which carried a price tag of $1,000.

Bailey, a 2-year-old female Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix, is a happy, playful and very energetic girl that needs a home where she will get lots of playtime Bailey and exercise. She was adopted from the shelter before, but was brought back because her energy level was just too high for the family. Bailey tends to chew on things when bored, so she really needs activity. She doesn’t like to give up her toys, so she would be best in a home with kids age 10 and older. Bailey knows how to sit on command and really wants nothing more than to please her family. Bailey is available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, located at 21615 64th Ave S. Call 206-296-PETS for more information.

bodybuilder. She competed in the Emerald Cup earlier this year and is a prime example of the turnaround weight loss can inspire.
No year seems complete without the 3A state football trophy coming back to Wolverine Way and coach Butch Goncharoff ’s squad didn’t disappoint in 2012, blowing out opponents on the way to the program’s fifth straight championship. That accomplishment was the first for a Washington prep squad, as was Bellevue’s season-ending ranking atop the Sports Illustrated national high school football poll.
cise regimen can be a hassle. For Steve Ferreira, it’s just a part of life. The Bellevue College student-athlete has been in a wheelchair for his entire life and has cerebral palsy, but uses the chair for more than sitting. A basketball player during his youth and award-winning athlete during his prep days at Issaquah’s Liberty High School, Ferreira now has a specialized chair to participate in field events like discus and club throw, and in 2012 took part in Paralympic qualifying for the London games.
As another year comes to a close, the Reporter takes a look back at the best moments, athletes and stories in sports and recreation from the past year. From an historic fifth straight title to a dynamic, college-bound quarterback and developmentally disabled Bellevue College studentathlete with Olympic sized dreams, these are the people and moments that defined 2012.
Male Athlete of the Year Isaac Dotson, Newport When it comes to raw athleticism, few can match Newport senior Isaac Dotson. If the measure is character or dedication, Dotson still stands alone. The Nevadabound quarterback who also stars for coach Steve Haizlip’s basketball team is one of the top athletes in the state and helped the Knights to the state quarterfinal round during the football season with 765 yards passing and 11 scores through the air to go with more than 1,000 yards and 17 more touchdowns on the ground.
Female Athlete of the Year Lorea Gwo, Newport Gwo broke a decades-old school record and shared the moment with assistant coach and friend Liz Strathy, the former record holder, en route to the school’s first girls swim and dive state championship in 26 years. Gwo finished third in the 50 free and 100 fly and helped the 400 free relay team to a third place finish to secure the team scoring championship.
Inspirational Story of the Year Anthony Anderson, Robinswood Tennis Center When Anthony Anderson was paralyzed from the waist down after a car crash during his high school days, he could have chosen a life of pity and solitude. Instead, Anderson decided on a different approach. After becoming involved in wheelchair athletics shortly after being released from the hospital, Anderson found his niche in wheelchair tennis and became a standout player. When playing against other wheelchair athletes was no

Humanitarian of the Year - Carlos Willcuts, Jubilee Reach sports Sports can take on many purposes and fulfill a variety of needs in the lives of those who play, coach and watch them. None is more important than that of Carlos Willcuts and Jubilee Reach. The nonprofit extended its programming into sports after Willcuts spearheaded the program at Highland Middle School and began giving kids throughout the BSD a positive outlet with teams in soccer and flag football. Parents and teachers began to notice the change immediately and the program hopes to reach an even larger portion of the population in 2013.
Comeback Story of the Year Daniel Flaiff, Aquathlon and Danena McCants, bodybuilder The New Year always brings resolutions of physical fitness and the promise to have a slimmer, healthier year. Daniel Flahiff and Danena McCants are already ahead of the game. Flahiff was unable to swim even in a single lap in the pool and his weight had ballooned out of control, leaving him unable to keep up with his young son. McCants watched her weight swell to more than 330 pounds after she moved to the Pacific Northwest and began to struggle with self-confidence. But both soon found new hope through exercise. Flahiff parlayed his desire to get in better shape into a spot in a worldwide endurance competition at the Aquathlon in New Zealand while McCants also began shedding pounds to run a marathon and is currently a
Game of the Year - Bellevue vs. Trinity (Texas) football In 2011, Bellevue’s football team ventured to California for a high-profile matchup with Oaks Christian that paved the way to another dominant season of in-state play and a 3A state title. In 2012, everything was the same except the plane ride. Bellevue welcomed nationally-ranked EulessTrinity to Seattle for the marquee game of the season’s opening week and neither team disappointed. The Wolverines raced to a quick lead before Trinity pulled things even to force overtime. After a quick score from Budda Baker gave Bellevue another lead, Nathan Derider picked off a pass on Trinity’s first offensive snap of the overtime to give the program another signature win that carried national implications.

Game Day: Seahawks set to host Rams 2012 SCHEDULE Day Date Opponent
The Seahawks earned the signature win of the Pete Carroll era and locked up at least a wildcard berth to the playoffs on NBC’s Sunday Night Football with a 42-13 over the division rival 49ers in front of a national audience and raucous crowd at CenturyLink Field. Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson continued his ascension to one of the top signal-callers in the league with four more passing touchdowns while the defense and special teams did their share as well.
Richard Sherman, who will learn his fate for the remainder of the year when the league rules on the appeal of his suspension this week, had an interception in the end zone and returned a blocked field goal for a score in the first half. The scoring outburst of the past four weeks has also moved the team’s scoring offense to eighth in the league at just more than 26 points per game while the rushing game is still second best in the league at 161 yards per contest. Since the 24-21 loss to

A win by the Seahawks combined with a loss from San Francisco would give Seattle the NFC West championship.

Seattle will face the winner of the Dallas-Washington game on the road in the wildcard round of the playoffs. Dallas visited CenturyLink Field in the second week of the season and left with a 27-7 loss.

Coal Creek YMCA offers healthy New Year’s resolutions The new year is a time for new beginnings and to set goals that strengthen one’s spirit, mind and body. When making New Year’s Resolutions, the Coal Creek Family YMCA reminds families that building and maintaining family connectedness is one of the most important resolutions. “At the Y, we are committed to strengthening individuals and families to build stronger communities,” said Jaime Greene, Healthy Living & Community Engagement Director, Coal Creek Family YMCA. “When making New Year’s resolutions, we encourage people to begin with small changes that are easy to sustain and that lead to big benefits over time. Also, set goals as a family to learn and thrive together.” The Coal Creek Family YMCA offers a variety of programs that support family time, such as the Adventure Zone, Kids Corner, Youth Development Center, Parent’s Night Outs, Movie Nights, Adventure Guides,
Birthday Parties, Mommy & Me Tumbling and Bingo. There are also simple things families can do at home to improve their family’s health and well-being. Following are five New Year’s Resolutions the Y recommends for 2013: Eat Together: Sitting down together for a meal is a great way for parents and children to share stories, or talk about the school day or their favorite part of the day. Set aside time for the family to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once a week or every day if scheduling permits. Volunteer Together: Giving back and supporting neighbors benefits everyone involved. It teaches children and teens the value of helping others and is also a way to meet new people or discover a new interest. Find an opportunity in your community that the entire family may enjoy, such as cleaning your neighborhood park or distributing food at a local food bank. Unplug from Technol-

ogy: Limit screen time (television, video games, computer, etc.) and instead set aside an hour or two for activities that allow interaction and camaraderie. If weather permits, go for a walk, bike ride, trip to the park, or have a game night at home. If you do want to watch television, maybe have a movie night with the family. Be Physically Active: It’s important for children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day (30 minutes for adults). Incorporate physical activity into your daily routines and spend more time walking to places instead of driving to improve your health and well-being. Put Extras to Good Use: Do you have extra canned goods or clothes that could benefit others in need? Clean out your pantry, closet or attic and donate extra items to homeless shelters or community outreach programs. You can also get the entire family involved and demonstrate to the children the value of giving. For additional tips or to learn more about the Coal Creek Family YMCA’s family time programs, contact 425-282-1500 or visit coalcreekymca.org.
COOK OFF FOR CHARITY
Clark Nuber’s employees recently pulled out their best recipes to enter the firm’s fourth annual Cook-Off Contest to raise money for charity, this year United Way of King County.
