JUST KEEP SWIMMING Eastlake teacher and coach fights for her life

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY

“I think most of the tears I cry are happy tears.”

KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Two years ago, 28-year-old Shelby Ruge decided she was young, able and ready for an adventure. So she packed up her life in Kansas City, Mo., and moved to Seattle where she began teaching science and coaching girls’ swim at Eastlake High School. “I started drinking a lot of coffee. A lot of coffee,” she said. And in February of 2012, she found a mass in her chest and assumed it was due to her caffeine intake. “I thought I’d cut down on coffee and see if it went away,” Ruge said. “And being a teacher, I didn’t want to deal with sub plans and go take care of it, so I put it off until May.” The mass began hurting, so Ruge went in for a biopsy. It was negative for cancer. “They told me it would probably grow a little bit bigger, but since it was benign, I didn’t have to worry about it. And then in June, I had some really, really sharp pains and I just didn’t feel right. So I went back in and they checked it again, and it looked different than before, so they did

another biopsy.” Ruge was told that it was most likely nothing and not to worry about it. But the following Thursday, on June 27, she got the phone call. The mass was in fact cancerous. It was something that she somewhat expected, Ruge said, but that didn’t stop her from feeling overwhelmed with emotions. She was home visiting her family at the time. “I immediately started crying,” she said. “It was really, really hard to accept.” After 20 minutes of tears, Ruge decided she was done. She needed to be strong for her family, her

friends and ultimately herself. “Going to the infusion floor and seeing little kids...they have it worse than me. So there’s no reason to cry.” Ruge has no family history of cancer and tested negative for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. So the chances of her being diagnosed with breast cancer were very, very slim, she said. The cancer spread to her lymph nodes under her arm, and they are unsure as to whether it is present in her lungs. Ruge said that children in Missouri contract a bad flu that can leave scar tissue in the lungs, and a CT scan will not show the difference. Her next scan should

– Shelby Ruge reveal a lot more information, but for now she continues with her weekly chemotherapy treatments as she hopes for the best. “It was just a very bad hand,” she said. And as a healthy 28-yearold, Ruge had signed up for the cheapest insurance plan. After being diagnosed, Ruge had already established herself as a patient at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and decided she wanted continue her treatment at the facility. But it wasn’t covered under her plan. “I had made my mind up that regardless of the amount of money that I was going to have SEE SWIMMING, 8

The Sammamish city council voted unanimously Tuesday night, to approve the new funding formula for the partners in Eastside Fire and Rescue. The formula results in the five partners – Sammamish, Issaquah, North Bend and King County Districts 10 and 38, paying 85 percent based on assessed valuation and 15 percent based on calls for service. In addition, all partners will share 25 percent of the cost for fire station 81, the Pine Lake station, and station 72, the Maple St. station in Issaquah. The reason for sharing the 25 percent is because stations 81 and 72 each have 5 percent more “move ups,” or calls outside their geographical area. All five jurisdictions have approved the new formula with the exception of Issaquah and District 38. “All of this was bloody avoidable, frankly — it was totally unnecessary,” said Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell. “The result of the funding model is something that I’m happy with…we just wish to formalize certain aspects of it. We do appreciate the fact that, for most of the time this city has been in existence, we have been members of a larger organization.” Odell said four of the SEE EFR, 3

Scandi-Euro design comes to Gilman Village New shop in Issaquah offers European imports and U.S. made items with Euro-feel BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Monika Claassen still has her Swedish accent even though she's been in the United States for many years. She's had a passion for design since she was 4-years-old, and greatly appreciates European and Scandinavian design — so much so that she has brought her sense of style to Issaquah's Gilman Village with her new store, Splendid Avenue. Claassen is originally from Stockholm, Sweden, but she ended up in California's Silicon Valley in the field of public relations for a technology firm. There, she met her husband, Peter, who grew up in Sydney, British Columbia. The couple moved here from California and settled in Sammamish for the schools and because it's close to Peter's work. It was a perfect place to raise their three children, Frieda, Elsa and William. "I love being a mom, but I have a lot of energy so I started importing Swedish antiques," Claassen said. That was in 2008-2009 – then the crash came. Shortly thereafter, Peter suggested she start a design blog. She didn't know what a blog was, but it took off and soon she had 50,000-60,000 readers per month. As the blog grew, Peter suggested she sell something. So, she decided to start with Isle Jacobsen handmade rubber boots and coats from

After 85 years, Issaquah Garden Club still digs it Members becoming more environmentally concerned BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Garden clubs have come a long way over the years, and in the case of The Issaquah Garden Club, it has been making Issaquah beautiful for 85 years. The group celebrated this milestone Nov. 13 at Tibbetts Creek Manor. "As we've progressed, we've become more environmentally concerned," said June Ann Hassebroek, the club's president. Hassebroek said anyone who is interested in stewardship, gardening or landscaping is welcome to join. Gone are the days of garden clubs that involve sitting around drinking tea. Now the club is working on bringing awareness to the drop in population of honey bees. Not only are bees necessary for honey, but also for

pollination. "No bees means a loss of crops," Hassebroek said. Since the club was founded, its goal has been to teach as many people as possible, young and old, how to protect and beautify our world. As the club has evolved, Hassebroek said it's important that children learn how to grow organic food. The East Lake Washington District of Garden Clubs raises money through a program called "Give Kids a Hand," for schools to have vegetable and flower gardens said Karen Lee, chair of the 85th anniversary activities. It also raises funds for scholarships for the state and national garden clubs, as well as fund-raising for community organizations. Over the years, the Issaquah Garden Club's community service has included creating an entrance garden for the Issaquah Historical Museum using native plants, designing and helping maintain gardens at Pickering Farms, creating floats for parades and contributing an award for Salmon Days.

Sammamish city council members spent a great deal of time last summer at EFR headquarters going over the funding model. He said they had no choice but to play hardball because at least one of the members of the partnership felt Sammamish was bluffing. On a more personal note, Odell said that EFR had come to his daughter’s aid more than once and that his father made his last trip in a EFR aid car. “This is personal…I will vote for this resolution…I will cross my fingers and hope that our other four partners will do the same,” he said. Before the vote, fire fighter Dean deAlteriis

Members also participate in Art Walks, Earth Day and planting trees for Arbor Day both in Issaquah and Sammamish parks. Members donated a permanent marker as a tribute to veterans called a Blue Star Marker and add fresh flowers for special patriotic days. Creating and donating fresh centerpieces for senior care centers on holidays has long been one of the ways to brighten the days of residents of the centers. Hassebroek said floral design is taught at the club, which is one of her specialities. "I try to get students to think of it as a sculpture," she said. The Issaquah Garden Club draws members from Issaquah and Sammamish. Lee said there are 16 garden clubs on the Eastside. The Issaquah club is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization that follows National Garden Club objectives on a local level. Garden club meetings are open to the public.

urged the council to accept the resolution and the ad-hoc committee’s new funding model. “I leave you with three words. Negotiate, mediate and, hopefully, celebrate staying with EFR,” added Sammamish resident Mary Zigler. In Issaquah, the council met for a study session to discuss the new formula. In a presentation by EFR Deputy Chief, Greg Tryon and Issaquah City Administrator, Bob Harrison, both recommended that the council accept the proposal. Tryon pointed out that EFR costs have only gone up 2.5 percent per year since 2007. Issaquah paid 19.9 percent of the EFR budget in 2007 and by 2015 Issaquah’s share will be 28 percent. The question of extending the inter-local agreement by the five partners was raised.

The agreement ends at the end of 2014. If none of the partners withdraw before the end of January 2014, the agreement would be extended for seven years. EFR chief Lee Soptich said he would love to see a 20-year agreement, but “in the current environment there’s a lot of mistrust.” The Eastside Fire and Rescue board of directors met after The Reporter’s deadline to vote on the funding model. Issaquah City Council members Joe Forkner and Eileen Barber are on EFR’s board and will participate in the EFR vote. At the Monday, Nov. 18 regular Issaquah City Council meeting, the council must decide whether or not to move forward with the formula. Staff writer Kelly Montgomery contributed to this report.

The phone call that every parent dreads

even years ago, I sped across the I-90 Bridge to Harborview Medical Center. As I did, I begged for God to take my life: “Please take me instead. Not her!” Just 15 minutes before my drive across the bridge, my wife, Mary Beth, and I had received the phone call that every parent dreads. Our 17-year-old daughter, Mora, was in the ER at Harborview. All we knew then was that she had been in a terrible car accident, and that her condition was critical. Like any parent, I bargained and begged aloud for God to spare the life of my child. Since that day, we’ve told the story about Mora’s accident and how it was caused by a drowsy driver over and over William Shaw again. And we will continue to do so until people take drowsy driving more seriously. That frantic trip across I-90 was just one of the moments from that harrowing time that is seared in to my psyche. There are other memories of terrible moments like that that stay with me and continue to push my family and me to carry on in our mission to talk about the dangers of drowsy driving: ■ The sadness in the doctor’s eyes three days later as she took my wife and me over to a private corner after the morning consult was over. She told us that the trauma team was very disheartened. After being in a coma for three days, Mora’s brain was not showing any signs of response, and they were losing hope of her recovery or survival. ■ The devastation in my wife’s eyes as we approached our family in the trauma ICU waiting room. When we told them it looked like Mora would not make it, our family closed around us in an elemental circle of love and shared anguish. Defiantly, my mother said, “Well, we’ll just have to pray even harder!” ■ The disbelief and anger we felt when we were told by the Washington State Patrol trooper that the driver of the SEE DROWSY DRIVING, 6 ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

GMO initiative withered on vine I nitiative 522 is failing to pass for more reasons than just the $22 million opponents shelled out to defeat it. All those bucks certainly made a difference; it was the most money ever spent against an initiative in state history, so far. Had those pushing the food labeling initiative done a better job seeding their message throughout the state and tilling the fields of voters, they could have harvested victory. Jerry Cornfield Rather, their pitch for requiring labels on foods with genetically-modified ingredients lacked urgency and their campaign inspired little excitement outside Seattle and urban pockets in Western Washington. At times, it seemed those running the Yes on 522 campaign had not learned many lessons from the defeat of a nearly identical food labeling initiative in California in 2012. As a result the ballot measure,

which 66 percent of potential voters endorsed in a September Elway Poll, is on track to finish with only 49 percent voting for it. It is a startling, but not shocking collapse of support, said political consultants, pollsters – and a noted chronicler of food labeling battles watching from the sidelines. “Initiative campaigns are successful when they offer a solution to something the public perceives as a significant problem,” said consultant Sandeep Kaushik, who had a busy fall helping state Sen. Ed Murray’s campaign for Seattle mayor. “I’m not sure this initiative passed that test.” While the public does see value in labels on food, they were not overwhelmingly worried about the presence of GMOs in what they eat, said Seattle pollster Stuart Elway. That made them persuadable. Advisers to the No on 522 campaign knew this, too. They took a tack saying that, while there is nothing wrong with labeling food, Initiative 522 wasn’t the right way of doing it. They cited their reasons – higher

For good measure, they repeated it in a string of mailers sent to the homes of those who always vote. Of course this is pretty much how it played out in California. This is why those polls not involved in the campaign wonder why initiative supporters weren’t better prepared for the tactics they encountered. The Yes on 522 campaign lacked a convincing rebuttal on the need for labeling and how it wouldn’t bring a trove of troubles. Supporters had money. They spent $8 million – an impressive sum and only slightly less than their friends expended in California – yet could not get their response out often enough on television and almost not at all in the mailboxes. Nor could they turn out their voters. Their plan called for winning at least 60 percent of the votes in King

Job creators: Chamber is here to help

Chamber Launches Small Business Resource Center to Support Local Economy

tarting and running a small business today is tough work. Entrepreneurs face long hours, considerable risks, regulatory headwinds, and plenty of economic uncertainty. But without a healthy climate for local business success, a community and its quality of life suffers. We know how important job creation and business success is in keeping families afloat, keeping cities funded and Matt Bott keeping communities prosperous. We also know that, nationally, a majority of new jobs created will come from our smallest employers. Their success is our success. This is why the Greater Issaquah Chamber has launched the Issaquah Small Business Resource Center (SBRC) – a platform for programs, services, seminars and resources aimed directly at supporting our local small businesses. Through this platform, the chamber is providing an extensive lineup of new and enhanced small business tools for the community. Following are just a few: The SBRC offers technology tools including extensive listing opportunities on a content-rich online business database, helping small businesses expand their online exposure. The center provides access to an online business app store, providing businesses with a one-stop-shop to find free and low-cost web-based business applications,

including CRM systems, HR solutions, sales leads and more. And businesses now have access to the Eastside Marketplace, an emerging multichamber platform for Eastside businesses to promote their goods and services, taking advantage of the explosion in e-commerce retail trends. Also included are business development seminars through the Issaquah Business University program – a high-quality monthly seminar program, now in its third year, supported by Sterling Bank. Also available are customer service training resources plus access to regional Small Business Administration seminars. The center will help Issaquah businesses connect into a wealth of regional small business counseling support services through SCORE Counselors, including the identification of our first-ever Issaquahbased counselor, available immediately for free and confidential small business counseling in the chamber’s conference room. (SCORE stands for the Service Core of Retired Executives). A local peer-to-peer business support program is also under development. Money-saving discounts with a host of local and national partners, including discounts at The White Board in Gilman Village, Issaquah’s first and only co-working space, are now available. SBRC also provides customized strategic networking support, B2B partnership development and free and low-cost networking programs to connect businesses with potential customers, suppliers,

partners or word-of-mouth branding opportunities. We also know that chamber membership provides proven business credibility and targeted exposure within the local market. We thank the dozens of local leaders and business professionals who have volunteered their time and resources to help us develop these programs, and are excited for the additional programs now under

development. I invite you to learn more at issaquahchamber.com and let us know if there are other ways we can help support our local small businesses. Matthew Bott is the CEO of the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce. He writes on topics including business success, civic leadership and community enhancement.

Hips and knees are replaceable because time spent missing out on life isn’t. What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

After completing dental school, a dentist may choose to become a Pediatric Dentist by going on for two additional years of specialized education and training. They learn how to deal with all aspects of oral healthcare for infants through adolescents, as well as those with special health care needs.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of jointreplacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement. Register now. Our seminars take just two hours, and the rest of your active life is waiting.

Pediatric Dentists build a team and set up their offices to be a friendly, fun, and safe environment specifically with children in mind.

car that Mora was a passenger in had been awake for more than 20 hours before she got behind the wheel. That she fell asleep and went off the road while driving at nearly 70 miles an hour over Blewett Pass. ■ I also will never forget Mora’s first words over a month later...whispered in pain and agony, trapped in a full body cast and an injured brain. “I hate this.” Or six months later, when Mora was an 18-year-old woman, and she took her first baby step without a wheelchair, crutches, or a scooter, knowing that she would need multiple surgeries on her ankle for years to come. We cannot give Mora back the years that were taken away from her, or the pain that she continues to deal with. But we can try to spare others from suffering terrible, life-changing injuries like hers. And to prevent more easily avoidable deaths from drowsy driving. Half of our mission is to promote drowsy driving awareness and prevention through education. In print, online, and on television, we have warned about the dangers of drowsy driving. We have shouted about it from the rooftops, and in our state Legislature’s House Judiciary Committee. But prevention and education goes only half way. For, as with drunk driving 40 years ago and wearing seat belts 20 years ago, perceptions about laws and penalties against drowsy driving need to be changed. William Shaw is the publisher of the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter.

GOVERNOR, STATE PATROL SPEAK OUT ON DROWSY DRIVING Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed Drowsy Driving Prevention Week this week, calling attention to danger that annually takes more than 1,000 lives. “This week we have a chance to stop and reflect on the dangers of drowsy driving. Driving while tired can be dangerous and sometimes deadly. Every year, drowsy driving crashes result in more than 1,000 deaths and 71,000 injuries. This week is an opportunity to let our young drivers, their parents and other Washingtonians know how they can stay safe on the road and remind all of us to think twice before getting behind the wheel while tired.” The Washington State Patrol also spoke out on the issue, noting such accidents are more common than people think and is just as devastating and dangerous as speeding, drinking and driving, or not wearing seat belts. “Falling asleep at the wheel is just as preventable as collisions caused by speeding or driving under the influence,” said Chief John Batiste, Washington State Patrol. “Just a few simple precautions to prevent drowsy driving could save a life.” For more information about drowsy driving and how to prevent it visit SleepFoundation.org, DrowsyDriving.org, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

And every year it fills up with toys and other gifts donated by generous Sammamish residents. “We’ve been helping out with ‘Toys for Tots’ since 2005,” Deputy Amy Jarboe said. “And it feels great every year to see the pile of gifts getting bigger and bigger.” This year’s collection period lasts until the end of business on Thursday, Dec. 12. At that point, this season’s haul will be turned over to the U.S. Marine Corps, the sponsors of Toys for Tots. “I hope everyone will think about those kids this year,” Jarboe said. “It doesn’t take much to brighten up their holiday season, so I hope we have another strong year here in Sammamish.”

Firm to help provide Thanksgiving dinner Life Directions Financial will provide a Thanksgiving turkey for every bag of groceries donated by people to help a family in need. People are asked to include as many of the following items as possible: cooking oil, a 5-pound bag of sugar, a 5-pound bag of flour, canned corn, a 5-pound bag of potatoes, canned yams/sweet potatoes, canned fruit and stuffing. Each item on this list has been specifically requested by the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank as the items are typically in high demand and short supply. Grocery bag donations should be brought to the Life Directions Financial office, 375 N.W. Mall Street, Suite 3, in Issaquah anytime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22 or between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23.

can also be a stressful time,” said Eastridge Church Lead Pastor, Steve Jamison. “For the past 10 years we have offered a free turkey and bag of groceries to families who may be struggling to make ends meet. Our goal is to show our neighbors that Eastridge cares by providing a meal this Thanksgiving.” This year Eastridge will give away 500 more turkeys and groceries than in previous years. This is in response to an increasing need the church sees each year, as well as recent changes to Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP), which benefits one in seven Americans. The 1,500 dinner packages will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, with no demonstration of need required to receive the assistance. For more information, contact Eastridge Church at 425-270-6300 or EastridgeToday. com.

We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

Giving tree at Pacific Cascade Middle School Pacific Cascade Middle School students have a year round “giving tree” to assist local families in need. Students or parents can connect with the school confidentially to ask for items they need such as clothes, shoes, household supplies, furniture or emergency gas or grocery cards.

RIGHT: A photo of Shelby from her blog PHOTO COURTESY OF SHELBY RUGE, Blogspot LEFT: Shelby overlooks the pool full of Eastlake swimmers. KELLY MONTGOMERY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter found out she had been diagnosed to her weekly chemotherapy treatments. It started small as an easy way to keep her family updated, but Ruge said it transformed into much more. “It’s been a way for me to reflect back on what’s going on and kind of put it all into reality,” she said. “Because sometimes I think it’s just a dream, like this can’t be happening to me.” The blog spread like wildfire and Ruge received amazing feedback, giving her motivation to continue writing. “The people reading, they think of me as someone who is courageous. But I’m only fighting for my life because of them. They are the people that I look up to and see living their life, so I want to live for them.” Kate Agnew, Eastlake teacher and the head coach for the girls’ swim team, said the one thing that has stood out to her is the amount of people at Eastlake who don’t know Ruge personally, but have supported her since day one. “There have been a large number of Eastlake students who have been directly effected by breast cancer,” Agnew said. “I must have ordered more than 650 pink shirts. And all of them were sold. I had kids coming to me asking for more.” Ruge said the hardest part of the whole thing has been her emotions. “I think most of the tears I cry are happy tears, that, or feeling really guilty for just how amazing everyone’s been to me and the fact I can’t pay them back. It’s an internal struggle inside of me,” Ruge said. “I’m happy everyone is helping me, but I’m angry because I can’t do anything for them.” Ruge’s mom continues to tell her that while she can’t pay anyone back, she can pay it forward. “I now have the open mentality of being able to understand where someone is coming from and do what I need to do to help,” Ruge said. “But it’s not instant, and that’s the hardest thing for me is that all these people are amazing and I can’t do anything about it right now.” What Ruge doesn’t understand is that being there for

her students is enough. Gronewald and co-captain Lauren Taylor said they admire Ruge’s attitude and the way she’s dealt with the situation. They said that people aren’t scared to talk about the cancer because of how open Ruge has been with everything. She even dressed up as Walter White for Halloween. “I might as well embrace it,” Ruge said. Gronewald said they’re celebrating the fight, not the struggle. And she and Taylor made it clear the fight will not end with their swim season. “We’ve been talking to the basketball team and our athletic director about making pink ‘sixth man’ T-shirts so we can continue to help,” Taylor said. “Everybody has wanted to show support.” When Ruge started the entire process, her tumor was nine centimeters long. She said that while there’s no real timeline in regards to being totally cancer-free, she knows her tumor is shrinking. “They don’t really tell you your prognosis, because it’s taken one day at a time,” she said. “Hopefully it’s gone in a year.” Ruge was recently able to switch her insurance policy, so all of her treatment after Nov. 1 will be covered. She has five chemotherapy treatments to go, with her last one scheduled for Dec. 13. After that, she gets to go home and spend the holiday break with her family. In January, she will go through several surgeries before starting daily radiation. “I’ve thought of this whole year as a job. A really crummy job, but a job,” Ruge said. “My boss is cancer and I have to pay to work it, and every Friday I have to go and clock in and clock out, but it’s just a year. And after a year, I get my life back. I can move on and know I survived a really crummy job.” Staff writer Kelly Montgomery can be reached at 425-3910363 •

to spend, my health needed to come before that. I could figure the money out later,” she said. She knew it was going to be a struggle, but she didn’t want the cancer to stop her from teaching and coaching. “I was kind of concerned I wouldn’t have the energy and strength to keep going, but the kids I coach are amazing, so they keep my energy and spirits up,” Ruge said. Erin Gronewald, Eastlake senior and captain of the girls’ swim team, said she was pretty shocked when she heard the news, and it soon became clear that Ruge was going to need all the support she could get. The swim team took action, creating “Just Keep Swimming” T-shirts and organizing a car wash. “Not many people knew about it, so in order to get the support she needed we had to get her recognized,” Gronewald said. “She wasn’t going to do it herself.” The swim girls got the word out in every way they could, from talking to the athletic director to going door to door. What started small soon exploded into a school-wide effort. The school organized a “pink out” volleyball game, selling the T-shirts the swim team had made. This led to a pinkout football game, a partnered pink-out swim match with Redmond High School and an entire pink-week at school. And all of these events fell in October, the month nationally dedicated to breast cancer awareness. Chris Bede, Eastlake High School associate principal, said that Sammamish schools have been coming together to support the cause. “My wife coaches at Skyline, so I know that they had shirts printed that said “Keep Swimming Ms. Ruge.” I also know that they have banded together to raise money. I think this is great because it shows the camaraderie between the high schools on the Plateau.” So far, the total amount raised for Ruge is approximately $12,000. “I didn’t expect people to be so generous. I didn’t expect donations,” Ruge said. “I have a hard time accepting help, I’ve never been that type of person. So this has definitely been a humbling learning experience.” Ruge started a blog titled “Karate Chopping Cancer,” documenting everything from the moment she

A stunningly surreal take on a theater staple BY DANIEL NASH

Les Misérables at the Village Theatre

DNASH@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

“Les Misérables,” the world’s longest running musical and the latest production by the Village Theatre, is a story that can be and has been presented in a number of ways. It has been produced as a realistic historical narrative – sensible, as the story is set against the backdrop of the June Rebellion against the Orleanist French monarchy. It has been presented minimally, foregoing sets or in front of the orchestra in productions that placed emphasis on the stirring score by Claude-Michel Schönberg. But musical theater, more than any other stage endeavor, is about the subjective emotional truth of the story. It’s a sentiment clearly understood by director Steve Tomkins, whose production often feels like a fevered and surreal dream given form by stunning set design and propelled forward by a talented cast. The story follows 17 years in the life of convicted thief and escapee Jean Valjean (played by Greg Stone), beginning with

his parole from Bagne prison. Faced with discrimination for his criminal past, Valjean is given a gift from a charitable bishop (John Dewar) allowing him to finance ADVERTISER: a new life “as an honest man.” He becomes # Monsieur Madeleine, wealthy industrialist and mayor 3x2 of Montreuil-su-Meir. When the cruel Inspector Javert (Eric Polani Jensen) brings the wrong man to trial for Valjean’s parole violation,

he reveals himself to the court. Valjean takes flight once more, for Paris, along the way adopting Cosette (Victoria Ames Smith and Alexandra Zorn), the daughter of a deceased woman once under his care. The two live happily until the eve of a student rebellion against the government, and Valjean chooses to risk life and freedom to save the life of Marius (Matthew Kacurgis), a young revolutionary

in love with Cosette. The cast of Les Mis has nary a weak link to be found. In a preview interview with The Reporter, Tomkins praised the vocal range of Stone, a veteran to the role of Valjean from Broadway and touring productions. He did not disappoint, delivering bellows and whispers alike with supreme control and gravitas. Kirsten deLohr Helland’s adult Eponine (played as a child by Ilsa Weigel) likewise proves deft at carrying the emotion of her songs. Her contribution to trio “A Heart Full of Love” and Act II solo “On My Own” drip with the muted sorrow of unrequited love. But Nick DeSantis and Kate Jaeger steal the show as the raunchy comic relief characters Monsieur and Madame Thenardier – con artists, thieves and all-around low lives. Jaeger makes a delightfully boisterous entrance as the domineering and vulgar matron of her inn. DeSantis’s turn as a societyblaming ne’er-do-well is reminiscent of a younger Tim Curry. The actors carry the show on their own merit, but their char-

acters’ burdens – be they poverty, duty or secrecy – are illustrated in precariously leaning set facades, the first of two key components in the sets’ drama. Their rolling construction allows the claustrophobia of the sets to heighten and ease as required by the events unfolding. The second, a rotating stage floor, is nothing new to Les Mis, but it is worth noting its skillful use at the Village Theatre. In the prologue, Valjean is swept from location to location as he searches for relief. Rather than attempt ambitious scene changes midsong, characters and places float to and from the protagonist with the ephemerality of a mirage. Later, the rotations are used to give attention to events that occur on both sides of divisive set pieces, such as Valjean’s gate in “A Heart Full of Love,” and the rebels’ barricade in “The Second Attack.” So though the path of Les Mis is well-trod, Village Theatre’s venture is more than worthwhile, and should be seen by show veterans and the uninitiated alike. The show runs through Jan. 5.

Skyline, Issaquah set for third game of year after wins

District champ Taylor leads deep group to state swim and dive BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVEUREPORTER.COM

BY JOSH SUMAN

The 4A swim and dive meet begins Friday at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Skyline, Issaquah and Eastlake are well represented in the field of the state’s best. The Spartans own the fifth seed time in the 200 yard medley relay, with Eastlake also in the field at 21. Issaquah freshman Jenifer Matsuda is seeded third in the 200 free and second in the 500 free. Skyline senior Stephanie Munoz and Eastlake senior Lily Newton are also in the field in the 200 free and Munoz has the fourth fastest time entering the 100 fly, where she will swim with teammates Kathy Lin and Yui Umezawa. Newton is seeded fifth in the 500 free, with Skyline’s Chase Raines and Issaquah’s Michelle Francois and Katie Maier also in the field. Sophomores Elyse Kaczmarek and Darian Himes are set for the 200 IM for Skyline, along with senior Erin Alleva for the Wolves. Senior standout Gabrielle Gevers will be after her first individual title in the pool for the Eagles and is seeded 11th in the 50 free and is also in the field for the 100 free. Umezawa is seventh in the 100 back and will be in the field along with teammate Chase Raines and Eastlake freshman Aimee Ellis. Lin and freshman Gabrielle Salgado will be in the 100 breaststroke, along with Alleva. District champ Erin Taylor of Skyline takes the top seed

JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Skyline diver Erin Taylor, pictured above during the district meet, owns the top seed headed to state and will have the chance at a title. DON BORIN, Stop Action Photography score to the one meter diving competition, where the Eastlake duo of Kaela Call and Christina Torrente and Taylor’s teammate Alyssa Holy could all reach the podium and are seeded in the top-six. All three teams are in the field for the 200 free relay, with Issaquah owning the best time of the three thus far and seeded sixth and the same is true for the 400 free relay, with Skyline seeded fifth, Issaquah 13th and Eastlake 16th entering Friday’s preliminary round. The 4A meet gets underway Friday at 9:45 a.m., with the finals set for Saturday at 10 a.m. at KCAC (650 SW Campus Dr. Federal Way).

For the third time this season, and with a spot in the semi-final round of the 4A girls soccer state tournament on the line, Skyline and Issaquah will meet Saturday at 7 p.m. at Issaquah with only one continuing its season. The Spartans blanked Curtis 2-0 at home Tuesday in the opening round of the tournament, using goals from seniors Bianca Saint and Jordan Branch and another stifling defensive effort to move to the next round and continue its state title defense. Issaquah got its lone goal from Annie Hoffman on a Rachel Wheeler assist in the second half to win its opening round contest 1-0 over Gig Harbor and earn one final shot at the rival Spartans. Skyline won the first meeting 1-0 in the final regular season game of the year to capture the conference’s best record and downed the Eagles again, 4-0 for the 4A KingCo title on Halloween. But after three straight losses where they managed only a single goal, Issaquah has rebounded to win its last two by a combined score of 4-1 and keep its season alive. The Spartans, which have lost only one match all year, have not allowed a goal since a 4-1 win over Eastlake Oct. 17 and own four straight shutouts entering this weekend’s quarterfinal tilt. The two met in last year’s state title game as well as in 2009, both Skyline wins.

Spartans, Crusaders begin state volleyball tournaments today in Lacey Skyline opens the 4A state volleyball tournament Friday at 9:45 a.m. against Emerald Ridge at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, after finishing the 4A KingCo tournament with a 3-2 title match loss to Newport. The winner moves to a 6:45 p.m. game against the winner of another first round match between Camas and Mead while the loser will play at Timberline High School in the loser’s bracket. Eastside Catholic opens the 3A tournament against Oak Harbor at 11:45 a.m. on court three at Saint Martin’s, and will face either Bishop Blanchet or Southridge in the second round. The Crusaders finished the Metro League tournament

with a 3-2 win over Holy Names after falling to Mercer Island in the semi-finals. EC won seven straight to close the regular season and begin the league tournament before falling to the eventual district champ Islanders. Skyline won its first two matches in the 4A KingCo tournament, 3-0 over both Inglemoor and Eastlake, and built a 2-0 lead against the Knights before dropping the final three sets. The state volleyball tournaments continue Saturday with the semi-finals and finals, as well as consolation bracket matches. The 3A and 4A state title matches are set for Saturday night at 8:15 p.m.

Financially stressed but fundamentally happy to worry about their own financial futures. Many of them still have debts, even as retirement approaches, and this can lead to doubts about whether their savings will be enough to support them in their later stages of life. This kind of uncertainty can push baby boomers to delay their retirement or consider the possibility that they will never be able to leave the workforce completely. When they receive an inheritance, they are

more likely than previous generations to squirrel it all away for their retirement. Fortunately, this situation has not prevented baby boomers from believing in their own happiness. Polls show that despite all their problems, baby boomers believe, in general, that they have a good quality of life. They consider themselves to be richer and in better health than their parents. All that goes to show that you don’t have to be stress-free in order to be happy!

As the “sandwich” generation, baby boomers have to deal with the needs of ageing parents and adult children.

Baby boomers are sometimes described as a “sandwich” generation because they have to deal with the needs of parents who are living longer than ever before and the needs of children who are becoming independent later than ever. It’s not surprising to learn that baby boomers are at the top of the stress charts these days.

Spartans, Wolves, EC welcome playoff visitors for showdowns BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Skyline (9-1) VS. Federal Way (8-2), 7 p.m. Friday 4A state quarterfinal spots are up for grabs on the gridiron this week and Skyline will get a chance to continue its state championship defense Friday against Federal Way. The Eagles bring in a dynamic group of playmakers, led by junior Chico McClatcher, who returned a kickoff 84 yards for a score last week in his team’s 37-20 win over Edmonds-Woodway, and quarterback Keenan Curran, who had a pair of long touchdown runs in his team’s district playoff win. That duo has kept their offense rolling along to the tune of 39 points per game, a number even more staggering considering Federal Way was held to 28 points combined in its two losses. Kilton Anderson, Rashaad Boddie and the Skyline offense enter the game with a powerful offense of their own and one that has grown steadily and markedly since the 45-7 opening week loss to Bellevue, the Spartans only setback to date. Only two other teams, state playoff bound Eastlake and Bothell, managed to keep coach Mat Taylor’s squad under 30 and each lost by double digits in the process. Chase Blackburn had a pair of first half touchdowns in Skyline’s 43-13 win over Thomas Jefferson last week and is one of eight players who have scored a rushing touchdown on the year. Chandler Wong and Derek Loville have steadily emerged as threats on the outside, combing for 46 catches, more than 600 yards and six scores. Defensively, a front led by a pair of standout bookends has set the tone, with senior Cameron Saffle and Josh Wright totaling more than 100 tackles and 18 sacks.

Eastlake (8-2) VS. Union (8-2), 7 p.m. Friday Troy Lewis, Blue Thomas and the Eastlake offense wasted no time in last week’s 52-7 district playoff win over Kentwood, as Lewis took a handoff 70 yards on the first play of the game for a lead that would never be threatened. The Wolves have hit 50 in each of the past three games, all blowout wins, and also scored 48 against Meadowdale for a group that is hitting its stride. The Titans from Vancouver enter the game off a dominant win over another KingCo squad, 51-21 at Issaquah last week. Top-ranked Camas is the only team from Washington to beat Union, along with Portland-Jesuit during the non-conference.

Eastside Catholic (8-2) @ Marysville-Pilchuck (10-0) The Crusaders head back on the road after taking care of Lincoln 41-21 last week at Charlie Acosta Field. EC has rolled off three straight wins since its loss to O’Dea and can get back to the 3A quarterfinals with a win over the unbeaten Tomahawks. Quarterback Harley Kirsch threw three touchdowns last week in the win, while Brandon Wellington rushed 19 times for 146 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The defense came up with a pair of interceptions and fumble recovery in the win. Marysville-Pilchuck downed Metro Mountain foe Blanchet 48-21 last week to earn its spot at state. The 3A Wesco champs, which beat a trio of 4A foes in non-conference play in Arlington, Lake Stevens and Snohomish, have scored fewer than 40 points only three times this year and have hit 50 on three occasions. The winner faces either Lakes or Meadowdale next week.
