ill Sullivan hasn’t exactly had an easy life. While he is positive and seems to be happy, he’d prefer not to be homeless. A series of unfortunate events led him to homelessness. In 2010, while bicycling in Issaquah, he was hit by a 17-year-old girl who was texting while driving. A serious shoulder injury sidelined him, so he lived in a Chevy Van until he received a $16,000 settlement. He then bought a 30-foot motor home to live in. The motor home was stripped and left at the side of a road, leaving him with a car that runs sometimes and a tent. Growing up in the area he collected rocks since he was a little kid, but he’d never seen anything like rocks called “concretions” which he discovered about 20 years ago. “I was fascinated by them; I collected as many as I could,” Sullivan said. According to the Royal Museum in British Columbia, concretions look like a fossil, or an animal carving by some ancient culture. To the untrained eye they look as though they may have been made by humans. Concretions originate in soft sediment such as sands, soft sandstone, clays and shales. They are hardened areas, usually of a different color inside another rock. The size of concretions appear to be determined by the permeability of the host rock.

animals, although one he found and polished, brought out a remarkably accurate image of the Seahawks logo. He took it to the Seattle Seahawks training facility in Renton with a letter for coach Pete Carroll and the team, suggesting they auction it off for charity. “I haven’t heard anything from them, but they haven’t lost since I took it to them,” he said. Sullivan said one of his inspirations is the artist Peter Max, best known for his ‘60s and ‘70s pop art. He recently heard Max speaking about his art on a radio show.
Sullivan came across them when he was first homeless and camping in the woods near the Snoqualmie River. “Things were a lot more unpopulated,” he said. “Branching off there, I’d find them in the rivers.” At a job working for a kitchen and bath design company he learned how to polish marble, a skill he put to use after unsuccessfully trying to paint some of the concretions he found.

Skyline High School to present ‘The Crucible’
BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Skyline High School’s play, “The Crucible” will start running next week featuring many talented students in challenging roles. The Crucible is a 1953 play by the American playwright Arthur Miller and features a dramatized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during the 1600s. Nate Vanderweide, a Skyline senior, plays John Proctor. His sister, Brianna Vanderweide, a Skyline sophomore, plays Mary Warren. They have surprisingly never acted together before, having always been at different schools. The Vanderweide siblings moved to Sammmamish in August from the East coast and said the transition has been challenging, but they have met really great people through the drama program and the play itself.
“Sometimes you just have to remember you’re playing a character.” - Carly Rosenbaum as Abigail Williams Nate said he is most excited to play a role he’s not accustomed to. “I’m normally in a comedic play, and I’m always typically cast as just a crazy little dude,” he said. “But this time I get to be the moral protagonist. I enjoy playing this dramatic role.” The play is directed by Hannah Fry, who teaches both English and theater at Skyline. “My primary background has always been in theater and I love being a drama teacher,” Fry said. “I always knew that I wanted to run a high school drama program because I love all facets of theater, from performance to directing to design and technical theater, as well as marketing and publicity. However, it is also wonderful being an English teacher because of the wonderful literature we get to explore.” Fry also admits that the most challenging
The “Crucible” cast during rehearsal. KELLY MONTGOMERY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter aspect has been the theatre’s transition to heavy drama. “Skyline has grown incredibly accustomed to comedies, and students were stretched to broaden their dramatic ranges with this piece,” she said. While the students admit that parts of the play have been challenging, they said Fry has made the process easy. “Ms. Fry is a really, really good director,” said Carly Rosenbaum, a Skyline junior who plays Abigail Williams. Brianna and Rosenbaum said a lot of the parts are out of the actors’ comfort zones. “Let’s just say there’s lots of touching,” Rosenbaum said. “Sometimes you just have to remember you’re playing a character.” And according to Fry, the students have done an amazing job of doing just that. “The most rewarding part of the process is seeing the students grow and discover their parts,” she said. “They feel a sense of ownership over these characters that is truly inspiring.” Although the Vanderweides and Rosenbaum love performing, they don’t necessarily see it as their future career path. “Performing is a huge part of my life, but there are other things I want to pursue,” Rosenbaum said. Nate and Brianna agreed, saying that acting would always be one of their hobbies. But for right now, all of their focus is on next week’s performances. “I’m looking forward to seeing how far everybody has come. It’s been a really interesting process,” Brianna said. “I think it will really come together and be fun. It’s a
crazy play.” “The Crucible” performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11-13 and 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Lyceum Theatre inside Skyline High School. General admission is $8. Skyline High School staff and students pay $4. Staff writer Kelly Montgomery can be reached at 425-391-0363

Up for Eastside Catholic, Ava Frisinger and more
For Eastside Catholic School for advancing to the Class 3A state football title game at 7:30 p.m. today at the Tacoma Dome. The Crusaders overpowered rival O’Dea 28-14 last week to make its second straight appearance in the championship game. For the community organizations and businesses that are collecting food and gifts for our less fortunate neighbors during the holidays. It’s easy to forget that not everyone can head to the malls this time of the year. Many head to the food bank instead. There are stories and roundups in today’s issue about some of these efforts. Also, look for giving trees, toy drives and food drives when you’re out and about. Every little bit helps.
For Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger, who has been honored as “Member Emeritus” by the SCA (formerly the Suburban Cities Association). The designation is the highest honor that can be given to an SCA member. Frisinger is stepping down this year as mayor. The honor is another indication of how the city and region has benefited from Frisinger’s leadership.
For a talented number of local individuals who received LINi Awards, given each year by the Eastside Leadership Network. Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger received the “Inspiration” award for her skills serving not only Issaquah, but also the Eastside. Also, Karen Ridlon, founder and former executive director of Eastside Baby Corner, received the Community’s Choice Award. Kudos also to Matt Bott, executive director of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce for being one of the award presenters.
For the city of Sammamish for finding a way to let Tent City 4 stay at Mary Queen of Peace Church through the holidays. It eliminates one more stress that the homeless have to face. –Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Help needed more than feeling good
For all the good that Tent City does in making people feel good, or creating connections, where is the transitional and affordable housing that we hear so much about. Why does the cycle of people, families, and children who are classified as “working poor” continue? We seem happy enough to provide help when folks are at their end by allowing "another 30 days" but don’t care at all to do the foundational work necessary to provide a way out and break the cycle. When Tent City "38" rolls around, will we all still be feeling good? We better not. Bryan Weinstein, Issaquah
Machinists wrong about Boeing
I read with much interest and amusement stories and articles about the recent Machinists rejection of the Boeing proposal that would probably
have kept the 777X here in Washington had they accepted it. One of the more reasons sited for rejecting the Boeing proposals is the belief that they hold unique skills required to build this type of airplane. That simply is not the case. Let us remember that Southern California, Texas, Georgia and Missouri all have aircraft manufacturing plants. And Boeing owns the old McDonald plant in Long Beach, Calif., that is operating at much less than full capacity. I also have heard the Machinists suggest it might be possible to get Airbus, Boeing’s biggest commercial rival, to start to build some of the planes or components in the Seattle area. They ignore the fact that Airbus already has a plant in Alabama. That being the case, why would Airbus want to make the capital investment commitment to move from there, where the labor rates are much lower, to Seattle? Some day the Machinists will have to come to the realization that they are in an extremely competitive market and there are others willing and capable of doing the same jobs for less money. And there are state and

Strong support for veterans’ ‘wreaths’
I am pleased to report that the support of the Wreaths Across America ceremony scheduled for Sunset Hills Memorial Park has been wonderful. As of Nov. 26, we have raised 457 wreaths through the efforts of Cascade Centennial Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution. Other organizations and individuals have raised another 70 wreaths. We will be able to place wreaths on the graves of 527 who served their country. There are 1,800 veterans’ interred at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, and while we will not be able to lay wreaths on all of them, we will be able to demonstrate that our community truly recognizes their service. The Wreaths Across America ceremony will be at 10 a.m. on Dec. 14. at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, 1215 145th Place S.E. in Bellevue. Allen Gray, Wreaths Across America

ISSAQUAH CREEK DAM PROJECT ALMOST COMPLETE BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The Issaquah Creek project, which included replacing the dam upstream of the hatchery, is not quite finished yet. The dam has been removed, replaced by a series of natural fish ladders made of a series of rock weirs, but the upper intake has been a battle with Mother Nature. “We’ve had to fight the elements every time it rained hard,” said Tim Ward with the State Department of Fish and Wildlife. He is the project’s coordinator. The old intake, dating back to the 1930s, brought water to the hatchery through a pipe. However, that created a fish barrier Ward said. The new intake, about 500-feet upstream, doesn’t require the dam, but every time it rained heavily it put the 10- to 15-man crew behind a week.

“He was talking about how he was influenced by monks in the beginning,” Sullivan said. “When he was first discovered, he got all these awards for creativity. He thinks the next phenomenon will combine science and art, which is what concretions are.” Sullivan also plays guitar and believes Jimi Hendrix is his guardian angel. Once, when he was out of work, he went to visit Hendrix’s grave in Renton. “As soon as I touched the grave, my phone rang and it was work!” he said.
Free practice SAT exam offered
Ward said it’s not easy trying to make nature and engineering come together. He said they hope to have the “in water” work done Friday, Dec. 6. Then, all that is left to do is clean up, finish some utility pipe connections and some concrete shoulder work. That should all be done at the end of the month. Ward said the crew has pulled all of the obstructions out and water is flowing freely. Now the hatchery can adjust how many fish go up at a time accordingly. “The weirs look beautiful, and we’ve seen fish going up,” he said. The entire project was originally slated to be completed Sept. 15. The cost of the project was $4 million, approved by the Legislature earlier this year. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363. His artistic and musical talent may be hereditary. His father, Bill Sullivan Sr., was a professional musician who played the clarinet in the 1962 World’s Fair Band. He died of cancer in 1968 when young Bill was only 13. Sullivan’s mother, Mildred, was a paste-up artist for the Seattle Times and the Seattle PI back when “they really used paste,” he said. She succumbed to cancer in 1985. With no siblings, Sullivan has been on his own since then. Sullivan said he has never given up on his goals and dreams and feels he has guardian angels all around him. On the evening of Nov. 29, as he was sleeping in his tent in the pitch black, he heard two snaps, a crack and a thud

College bound high school students can prepare for spring SAT and ACT college entrance exams by taking realistic practice tests. Fear-free tests familiarize students with the two different testing formats, serve as warm-ups for real exams and help determine which test format is right for them. Testing is conducted by the Princeton Review using real tests and is given in a realistic time frame and setting. Unlike the real tests, the results are given directly to the student and not sent out to colleges. After tests are scored, students are invited to a session to go over their results with a representative from the Princeton Review, the company the Eastlake High School PTSA partners with to administer the tests. The sessions help students interpret their score report, understand what the scores mean and learn strategies for improving scores on the real tests.
The ACT fear-free test will be from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Saturday Jan. 11. The SAT fear-free test is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Saturday Feb. 8. Both tests take place at Eastlake High School in Sammamish. Students throughout the area are invited to attend. Pre-registration is required and space is limited. The cost is $25 per test. Students may register online or print a registration form at EHSPTSA.org. For more information, contact the EHS PTSA at fearfree@EHSPTSA.org.
Test dates The ACT will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Jan. 11. The SAT will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Feb. 8.
which shook the ground. The next morning he saw that an 80-foot tree had crashed to the ground no more than 15-feet from his tent. “There was no wind; it fell to the east – I was directly west of it,” he said. Sullivan volunteers at the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank once a week. His concretions are for sale for as low as $20 for a single polished stone, up to $500 for more elaborate figurines. Contact Sullivan at concretionartwork@ yahoo.com to see his work up close. Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363.

Sammamish Symphony sets ‘Holiday Pops’ concert BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra will perform its “Holiday Pops!” concert at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6 at the Meydenbauer Theatre in Bellevue and then at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8 at Eastlake High School. The concert features annual favorites and classical masterpieces. The Sunday performance will feature a return engagement of the Beaver Lake Middle School chorus, led by their music director Tina Worthington.
The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra performs on the Sammamish plateau, in downtown Bellevue and various locations in the Seattle area. It is led by R. Joseph Scott, conductor and music director, who has been involved in the Northwest musical community for over 40 years. He is currently celebrating his 15th year with the orchestra. Now in its 22nd season, the symphony began as the Providence Point Players. It has performed several times in Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, with several northwest
choral groups. Worthington said that this is will be the second year Beaver Lake Middle School has performed with at the “Holiday Pops!” event. “It’s a huge honor for us to have been asked. And especially to have been asked back,” she said. The Beaver Lake Middle School chorus, comprised of boys and girls ages 11 to 13, will be singing a collection of songs, including “Carol of the Kings,” “Believe” from the film “Polar Express” and Barbara Streisand’s version of “Jingle Bells.” Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students, with children 10 and younger free. Tickets are available at the door or online at Ticketweb.com. The Beaver Lake Middle School chorus will also perform at 10 a.m. Dec. 10 at the Seattle Center.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says his office is prioritizing as best it can to deal with current and pending legal challenges in the state in the face of a slimmer budget, and he’s confident critical issues are being addressed. In an editorial discussion with Reporter staff Tuesday, Ferguson touted his selection of Nancy Krier as the open government ombudsman for his office and being able to bring that position back to full-time status. The attorney general said he is also proposing a bill to provide locally elected officials with an online training resource for navigating open records requests within the law. While some cities like Kirkland are backing budgets that make government accessibility a first-tier service, others are being challenged by what they consider to be burdensome requests for public information. “There will be some cost to that and some inconvenience,” he said of following open government laws, “and that’s a fact.” The attorney general’s lawsuit against the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association over campaign finance concealment claims will move for ward this month. So far, Ferguson said the association is accused of hiding the identities of contributors of up to $10.6 million to its cam-
Attorney General Bob Ferguson paign against I-522 in Washington, which would have required labeling on some genetically modified food products. He added it is the largest amount of concealed money ever donated to a campaign in the state. The GMA has since provided the names of its backers and their share of contributions, but continues to deny any wrongdoing, said Ferguson, adding he has read an association letter to its contributors that promised to conceal their identities. “They were very thoughtful and deliberate in concealing the names of those donors,” he said, adding his office is seeking more options than just monetary penalties against the GMA. “Even a significant (monetary) penalty on their end may be interpreted as the cost of doing
business.” The Washington State Liquor Control Board is taking applications through Dec. 18 for licensure to grow, process and sell recreational marijuana with the potential for legislation to be passed next year that would require medical marijuana patients to go through these suppliers without being subjected to taxation. Many cities have accepted that they will soon need to make room for retail marijuana stores and grow sites, but others like the city of Kent are not embracing the change. The Kent City Council voted last month to put a moratorium in place for marijuana businesses. Ferguson said the liquor control board is now seeking an opinion from his office about whether these municipalities have legal grounds to oppose marijuana as a commercial enterprise in their cities and oppose the will of voters who approved I-502. He’s trying to come up with a legal opinion as fast as possible, he said, while continuing a good-faith effort with the federal government to keep it from intervening with state law. Ferguson said his office also is focusing on improving protections for veterans and matching state protections for those deployed by order of the governor with federal protections afforded to those deployed by the president.

Help Stem Hunger during the Holidays D
ecember marks the second month of QFC’s annual charitable giving program, Bringing Hope to the Table, to raise cash and food donations for hungry people in the Northwest. This program began at QFC in 2002 and benefits two outstanding non-profit organizations that are working to end hunger in the northwest, Food Lifeline in the Seattle area and the Oregon Food Bank in the Portland area. Between them, these organizations distribute food to hundreds of food banks, meal programs and shelters every week. In the course of a year Food Lifeline will distribute over 36 million pounds of food, or more than 30 million meals, to over 744,000 people. “Due to the continued recession and long-term unemployment, the number of hungry people in our communities continues to grow, but QFC customers are making a difference!” notes Amy Shipman, Grocery Rescue Program Manager at Food Lifeline. “During the winter months, many families make the tough decision to pay the heat bill or buy food for the table. Bringing Hope to the Table makes sure that families
have enough to eat beyond the holidays and whenever there is need.” According to Food Lifeline, “the very low income people that food banks and meal programs have traditionally served still have tremendous need and represent 53% of the people who seek food assistance in Western Washington.” Of the clients that Food Lifeline serves, 35% are children and 14% are seniors. Oregon Food Bank reports similar numbers. Children age 17 or younger make up 34% of the recipients in the households served by OFB and adults 55 and above account for 18% of their clientele. The donations that QFC collects during this two month period will help feed hungry people for several months to come. Food donations typically drop in quantity after the holidays, so the surplus donations collected now will help fill the gap until donations pick up in mid to late spring. Your cash donations are also vital to keeping the food collection and distribution operations going. They help pay operating expenses to keep the freezers running and the trucks on the road.
There are many ways in which QFC customers can help support Bringing Hope to the Table. You can buy a pre-made bag of groceries for $10 that contains dry-good grocery items. You can also purchase food bank recommended items and donate those in our donation bins. There will be items throughout the store marked with special tags to make it easy to know what
to purchase and donate. QFC will also have $1 and $5 donation cards available at the checkstand as well as $10 virtual bag donation cards. You can also donate your spare change into coin collection boxes available at your checkstand. Thank you for supporting QFC, Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank to help feed the hungry during the holiday season and beyond. Paid Adver tisement

A Very Merry Sammamish coming to City Hall tonight A new and expanded holiday celebration will burst out of City Hall and fill the nearby plaza with light, food and fun from 6 to 9 p.m. on Dec 6. Entitled “Very Merry Sammamish,” the newly configured event will feature festive lights, special guests, musical performances, kids’ activities and food. “We’re going to keep the features that people loved about our past celebrations, but this is going to be bigger, brighter and more focused outside on the plaza,” Parks and Recreation Director Jessi Bon said. “It’s going to feel more like a festival with lots of
different things to see and activities to do.” Attendees will get a chance to vote for their favorite lighted vehicle. The city expects to do well in the voting with its creatively and brightly lit backhoe. Vans from the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club and Aegis Living of Marymoor will also be on hand with bulb-intensive decorations. The biggest vehicle? Probably a bedazzled recycling truck from Republic Services. Taking time out of their busy schedule to come celebrate a Very Merry Sammamish will be Santa Claus, Princess Merry and Mayor Odell. Joining the Blackwell
Elementary Choir and Master Chorus Eastside on the musical menu are The NotIts, a band made up of adults who play rock music for kids. And what is more merry than animals? Come touch furry critters big and small – from camels, alpacas and sheep to rabbits and guinea pigs. Just be sure to wash your hands before indulging in some amaz-
ing barbecue, hot chocolate and cookie decorating. “The traditional tree lighting ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. inside City Hall,” Bon said. “But with all the stuff going on, we think this is going to be a great indoor/ outdoor event. Just be sure to dress weather appropriate so you can enjoy everything this event has to offer.”
THUNDERING ANGELS HELP OUT
Lose weight with the same program she chose. Bill Werner, Sargent-at-arms for the Issaquah-based Thundering Angels MC, presented checks totaling $525 to the Issaquah Food Bank Program coordinator Rebecca Rayner and administrative assistant Kim Ortega. The checks were a result of donations during the Thundering Angels motorcycle ride and rally at the Triple XXX in July and other fundraising events. COURTESY PHOTO
When Kearsten Weeks had finally had enough, she came to Swedish Weight Loss to change her life. Now, 140 pounds lighter and immeasurably happier and healthier, Kearsten is living proof of how Swedish can also help you. And now there’s good news if you live on the Eastside. Because the same medical and surgical weight loss programs that have made a difference for thousands of Swedish patients in the Northwest, are also available at our new Issaquah Highlands campus. You’re invited to a seminar where you can come see Swedish/Issaquah, hear from our expert physicians, and ask your questions in a relaxed setting. Then, if a Swedish weight loss program makes sense for you, you can follow in the much-lighter footsteps of Kearsten Weeks.

ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE
Firefighters collect food and clothes for community BY LINDA BALL LBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM
Paul Stevens, an Eastside Fire and Rescue firefighter, with his fiancé, Christine Foster, and dog, Isabelle, stand on top of a moving truck provided by First Due Movers. Stevens slept in the tent on top of the truck in the Issaquah Fred Meyer parking lot from Friday Nov. 29 through Sunday, Dec. 1 as part of an effort to fill the truck with food, clothing and toys for the Issaquah and Mt.Si food banks. LINDA BALL, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
bank, and the rest of the donations – food and toys – would be sorted out and what was needed in Mt. Si was sent to its food bank. The owners of First Due Movers – Jim Smith, Joe Lindsay and Jeff Drozdowski – also are firefighters with EFR, and have donated their truck each year. Camping out on top of the truck, Stevens said he had the easy job, although he said it was a little windy the second night. “Every one just brings stuff to me,” he said holding a nice hot beverage in his hand. “The community has been supporting us, so it’s just a way for us do something nice for the community.”

Sleeping in a tent on top of a moving truck in the winter may sound a little bit crazy. But that’s exactly what firefighter Paul Stevens did from Friday Nov. 29 through Sunday Dec. 1, to support the community that is always supporting them he said. “It’s just a great way for (local) 2878 to give to the community; it just starts the season right,” Stevens said. The whole idea was he would not come down until the truck was filled with donations for the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank and the Mt. Si Food Bank. It was successful — Stevens said the truck was filled with 30,000 pounds of food, clothing and toys by Sunday. And he didn’t freeze to death. First Due Movers and the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund partnered for the event for the third year; this was the second year the event was held in the Issaquah Fred Meyer parking lot. Firefighter Ben Lane said Fred Meyer was given a list of most needed items off the food bank’s lists, so it could stock up on what was needed. Then, paper grocery bags full of needed items were available inside the store for $9.44. Fred Meyer employees prepared 200 of the bags. Items on the list included high protein foods like canned chili, tuna and peanut butter, baby items, canned foods, dried goods and personal care items such as shampoo, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, laundry soap and cleaning products. Lane said all of the clothing collected – new or gently used – would remain in Issaquah since it has the only clothing

y a d i l o H Dining
Toasting traditions
Dressing up your table Christmas is the perfect time of year for spoiling ourselves and getting dressed up to the nines. So how about giving the same royal treatment to an often neglected element of the dining room — after all, what could be more welcoming than a beautifully dressed table? First of all, a tablecloth is always prefe-
rable to placemats if you’re hosting a formal event. A cloth has the advantage of covering the entire surface of the table, protecting it from any spills, which are inevitable during dinner parties. Using a padded tablecloth underlay ensures extra protection and keeps the tablecloth in place.
At this time of year festive gatherings with friends and family give us ample opportunity to drink to the health of the evening’s hosts, to celebrate old friends, or simply to say goodbye to one year and welcome in the next. Certain customs go along with this ritual. To make a formal toast, be sure you have something to say and say it in as few words as possible — no one wants a repeat of that interminable toast Uncle Bill made last year. But we don’t really need a specific reason to raise our glasses; an informal toast can be offered simply to launch the evening’s first round of cocktails or wine. Make sure everyone has been served a drink before proposing a toast, and make eye contact when you tap glasses. Keep in mind that toasting is not done the same way all around the world. If you’re travelling, make sure that you are informed about the appropriate time to offer a toast.
A tablecloth should never reach the floor, as people might trip over it or set a chair leg on it. It should fall at least 20 cm down each side of the table. It is also important to choose a cloth of the same shape as the table (round, oval, square, or rectangular). Forget about floral patterns if you want to create an elegant look. Choose a plain colour or an understated pattern instead. White and cream are the classic choices, but if your dishes are in the same tones, show them off to advantage with a golden brown or silvery grey toned tablecloth. One thing goes without saying: the tablecloth should be of good quality, made of fine cotton or linen.
A short history of toasting Toasting dates back to the Middle Ages when poisoning the enemy was par for the course. Banging overflowing glasses together allowed the two drinks to be mixed and served as a declaration of peace and conviviality. Looking over the drink and straight into the eyes of adversaries helped to assess their reaction and judge their true intentions.
As for table napkins, they should be both esthetic and practical. Ensure they are soft to the touch and big enough to stay put on your guests’ laps.

s a e d I t f i G y a d i l o H Fun gifts
Need some hostess gift ideas?
Of course, the easy way out is to give the classic gift of a bottle of wine, which is not a bad idea. However, you have to admit that this solution is pretty hackneyed! Here are a few gift ideas if you want to give a slightly more original gift to the people welcoming
you into their home. First of all, take the time to wrap the gift in some pretty paper. It doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive; a gift worth between $20 and $30 is quite acceptable. If you know your hostess well, you could offer her something personal that will allow her to relax once the party is over. This could include a gift pack of body-care products, a relaxation CD, a restorative hand cream, some room scent, or some comfortable loungewear.
Here are a few ideas: • For beer lovers, a cell phone case with a built-in beer opener • For couch potatoes who hate the cold, an electric pyjama warmer • For the mom who takes care of everything, an apron printed with Wonder Woman’s body • For the person who loves to start the day with a laugh, a nose-shaped soap dispenser for the shower • For the clumsy foodie, adhesive bandages shaped like bacon strips • For moms, sisters, and girlfriends who love camping or travelling, a pee-tube for women • For well-behaved but fun-loving tee-
If your host and hostess are real epicureans, you could always give them an edible gift. Locally produced products are always appreciated, and you’ll certainly have lots of choice: try a pretty bottle of raspberry salad dressing, ice cider, a selection of herbal teas, crab terrine, or wild strawberry jam. If they love to cook, give them a kitchen accessory, such as an oil and vinegar set, escargot plates, a serving dish, pretty glass markers, a practical spice rack, table napkins, or a glass pitcher with a spout.

You’ve been invited to a holiday party and you’re really excited about spending time with the other guests, as well as your host and hostess. But there’s one problem you have to solve before the big day: finding the perfect hostess gift.
What can you possibly give to someone who already has everything? How can you please such a person with something as trite as jewellery, tools, or yet another necktie? The solution is to find a fun gift that’s worth a giggle or that serves as a conversation starter. Not only will it make the recipient laugh, there’s a pretty good chance that he or she doesn’t already have one!

Eastside Catholic, Bellevue to meet again for 3A title
By the Numbers Stats and figures for the 3A Gridiron Classic
BY JOSH SUMAN
BY JOSH SUMAN
JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
The past two seasons have been among the best in the history of Eastside Catholic football. Head coach Jeremy Thielbahr ended his first season as head coach with a trip to the state playoffs, and followed that with the school’s first ever state championship game appearance last year. The two also share one other commonality: seasonending losses to Bellevue. Friday night in the Tacoma Dome, the Crusaders will try to buck the trend by beating a team that owns a state record 53 game win streak and the past five 3A state titles. “They’re very well-coached and all of them are on the same page,” Thielbahr said of the Wolverines. “We have to match their physicality and that is what most people can’t do.” Neither team relies strictly on the same cast of characters from years past, with sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch and two-way threat Brandon Wellington pacing EC and a host of new faces like Jack Michael and Ross Conners leading the Bellevue defense. Thielbahr said even with a group led by underclassmen, his team is more prepared than last year for the challenges of the big-game atmosphere in the Tacoma Dome and their toughest opponent to date in the Wolverines. “We feel comfortable in the environment, which is different from last year,” he said. “We’re not going to back down from anybody.” Bellevue is sure to test that mentality in all three phases of the game, and the state’s top college prospect in Bishard “Budda” Baker will spearhead the effort. Now a senior, Baker terrorized EC in last year’s game with a punt return touchdown to break open the scoring, another score later in the game on the ground and an
Bellevue and Eastside Catholic meet Friday for the 3A state championship in a rematch of last year’s title game. The Reporter looks at a few of the numbers that will loom large in the Tacoma Dome.

That makes preparation unique for the Crusaders, who have looked far and wide for game film of teams who were able to slow the Wolverines’ vaunted system in the SEE TITLE GAME, 13

1 In his first year as the full-time starter, Eastside Catholic sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch has thrown only a single interception. That came in the waning minutes of last week’s semifinal win over rival O’Dea, and only after he had thrown three scores to stake his team to a 21-point lead.
4 Both EC and Bellevue played four regular season games against teams that made the playoffs. The Crusaders lost 27-21 to Sammamish neighbor Eastlake, a 4A quarterfinal team, in the second week and also O’Dea in mid-October. EC won regular season games over Seattle Prep and Blanchet, which each made the playoffs. The Wolverines trounced a pair of Class 4A foes that made the state tournament, beating Skyline 45-7 in the opening week and coming back to dump Bothell 49-6. Against Mount Si and Mercer Island, which took the other two spots from 3A KingCo to the district round, Bellevue won by a combined score of 101-20.
36.4 Eastside Catholic has been held under its season average of 36.4 points per game only three times this year, in a 27-21 loss to Eastlake and playoff wins over Meadowdale (21-16) and O’Dea (28-14).
7.6 Something has to give when the Crusaders have the ball, with the Bellevue defense allowing fewer than eight points per game on the year. The Wolverines own three shutouts on the year and two in the past four games.

Issaquah’s Reese makes Hall of Fame, local preps sign letters of intent
TITLE GAME CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
Issaquah head baseball coach Rob Reese picked up an honor during the offseason recently, when the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association enshrined him into their Hall of Fame. Reese owns a 333-157 record, three state championships in 2000, 2004 and 2007, six trips to the semi-finals and 13 state tournament appearances in his 20 seasons. Countless numbers of his players have continued to the collegiate ranks and even professional baseball. That group is headlined by 2003 graduate Colin Curtis, who played at Arizona State University before spending time with the New York Yankees. Reese and the Eagles finished 20-3 and with a KingCo title and state tournament trip in his first year in 1994. He has compiled six 20-win seasons against only four with double-digit losses. Only once, in 2011, did the Eagles finish the year with a sub-.500 record during Reese’s tenure.
Two sign with Washington State baseball
Eastside Catholic standout Colin MacIlvennie, a Maple Valley resident, committed to continue his education and lacrosse career. Also a wide receiver on the Crusaders’ state title game bound football team, MacIlvennie picked the University of Maryland to compete in lacrosse as a collegian and a program that is one of the most successful in the nation with 11 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. The midfielder led his team in goals with 44 last season and also posted 29 assists in leading his team to the Division I state semi-finals. Skyline’s Spencer Noonan signed with Fairfield University in Connecticut. As a junior, Noonan had a team-best 76 ground balls and has already been named twice to the All-State team, also picking up US Lacrosse High School All-American honors last season as he helped his team back to the state tournament.
Skyline, Eastside Catholic girls commit A pair of Sammamish preps committed for their collegiate lacrosse careers recently. Skyline senior Katie Bucy signed a National Letter of
Intent to play for Division II Lindenwood University in Missouri. Bucy was the seventh leading scorer in the state last year with 55 points and helped her team to a state tournament berth. Eastside Catholic senior Jacquelyn Archey also made her pledge for college, giving a verbal commitment to University of Redlands, a Division III school. EC made the state tournament last year in girls lacrosse with Archey contributing 12 ground balls and causing nine turnovers.

Issaquah’s Derek Chapman and Skyline’s Drew Lunde signed to play baseball for coach Donnie Marbut on the Palouse. Chapman, a second team All-KingCo selection as a junior, drew praise from assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Pat Waer for his athleticism. “Derek is an outfielder who also possesses that speed tool that you can’t teach,” Waer said in a press release. Lunde, the staff ace for last year’s KingCo champs at Skyline, struck out 41 in 32 innings and one-third and posted a sub-2.00 ERA on the year.
past. “It’s pretty funny, we’ve watched a lot of different games,” he said, noting the caliber of quarterbacks who have led their teams to wins over Bellevue. That group includes Kellen Moore, a Prosser product who posted a 50-3 record in four years as the starter at Boise State, unofficially the highest winning percentage in college football history. Max Browne, the nation’s top quarterback prospect in last year’s class, completed the feat as a sophomore with the help of Parade Player of the Year Kasen Williams at wide receiver. But even he was unable to out-duel the Wolverines the following year, throwing three interceptions in a 34-17 loss as a junior. “They had pretty incredible quarterbacks,” he said. “But we have a pretty incredible quarterback.” Kirsch’s statistics over the course of the year and moxie against a physical Irish defense last week seem to bear out that statement. In 13 games, the sophomore has a completion percentage just shy of 70, 34 touchdowns and only one interception. In the face of a fierce pass rush last week, he continually got off on-target throws and accurately diagnosed coverages, completing 19 of 30 passes for 294 yards and three scores. “They have a great young quarterback,” Baker said of Kirsch. “He’s making great reads, great passes and that was what helped them get the win last week.” One more win for Kirsch and the Crusaders would not only bring the first state football title in school history, but cement the program’s place among the fastest rising in the entire region. “It would mean the world to our community to beat Bellevue and win the state championship,” Thielbahr said. “Everyone is trying to knock them off and for us to be the ones would be a great experience.”

Press releases are one of the easiest, least expensive and most effective ways to keep the media –and through them, the public—up-to-date on your company and its events. As you can see here, there are some basic rules for writing press releases that work. Newsworthy: Press releases read like news – not sales or marketing promotions. If they read like advertising, editors will ignore them. Concise: Keep press releases short, just one or two pages, if possible.
Orderly: Write “more” at the bottom of the first page if there are multiple page. Use END, or -30- at the end of the last page, even for one-page press releases.
Catchy: Write an interesting lead that gets to the point, and fast. Everything of critical importance should be in the headline and the first paragraph. If it doesn’t pique the reader’s interest immediately, don’t expect anyone to wade through the rest.
Responsive: When reporters contact you, respond promptly. The reporter who calls you may be working on a story for tomorrow’s paper or writing an article for an online news site that will be posted that day. If you call back too late, you won’t make it into the story.
Jargon-Free: Your press release should be easily understood by anyone reading it. Get rid of unnecessary jargon. Current: Include the release date or “For Immediate Release” at the top of page one under the contact information and write “NEWS RELEASE” IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. Targeted: Know your audience. Instead of sending your press release to a wide audience, develop a targeted list of the journalists and publications that cover the subject matter and are likely to be receptive by the readers.
Actionable: Include a contact name with telephone number and an e-mail address.
Attachments: Include a photo caption, sources, contact and a release date. Timely: Take deadlines and lead times into account. Newspaper need copy daily, and wire services and Web sites can generate new copy hourly. Distribution: The Reporter Newspapers prefer you email your press release. Follow up: Reporters receive numerous press releases on a daily basis. If you decide to follow up with a phone call, tell them immediately the topic of the release and the exact date you sent it to them.

Community Roundup
What’s happening in Issaquah and Sammamish
Santa coming to Grand Ridge Plaza
Issaquah police on the lookout for thieves
Santa will arrive on the Wells Fargo six-horse stagecoach at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, kicking off the holiday season at Grand Ridge Plaza in the Issaquah Highlands. A festive celebration, featuring more than 100 students from Grand Ridge Elementary and the Silver Bells Quartet will greet Santa. The stagecoach is an authentic reproduction from the Gold Rush era, pulled by a specially trained team of horses. The schedule includes the Silver Bells quartet performing from 5:15-7:15 p.m. and a performance by the Grand Ridge Elementary School choir at 6:10 p.m. Santa Saturdays at Grand Ridge Plaza are noon to 3 p.m. on December 7, 14 and 21. Visitors are invited to take their own photos with Santa and enter to win $200 in gift certificates to the Grand Ridge Plaza merchants of their choice. Participants are encouraged to be creative with baby photos and family photos. The contest begins Friday, Dec. 7, 2013 and ends Sunday, Dec. 22, 2013 at midnight. For details and to enter, log onto facebook.com/GrandRidgePlaza.
Issaquah police officers are increasing patrols in the business district to prevent thefts during the year’s busiest shopping season. Think of them as Santa’s backup. They’re also out to warn shoppers if their vehicles and valuables are left too susceptible to prowlers and other Scrooges. If officers spot a high-risk vehicle – such as one with valuables visible to passers-by, they’ll place a gift tag on the windshield to warn the owner that he or she could become a prowler’s next target. Those tags will let shoppers know that they’re on the naughty list, and offer information about shopping safely in the future. Here are some easy tips you can use to prevent crime from ruining your holiday cheer: • Lock your vehicle every time you leave, even for a short time. • Don’t leave valuable items in plain view. • Don’t leave your vehicle running unattended. • If you place items in the trunk, do it discreetly or before you arrive at your destination. • If you see somebody acting suspicious or looking into vehicles, call police at 425837-3200. There also will be safety messages from police at checkout stands in many Issaquah businesses.

Firefighters begin training on a Sammamish structure Firefighters with Eastside Fire and Rescue will begin training on an abandoned house donated by the city of Sammamish. The house is located behind the Sammamish library. Firefighters began the drill Nov. 8 and will continue through Jan. 10, 2014, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Sunday. The public may see an increase in fire department equipment and personnel moving through the area. As EFR begins to burn the structure, the public may also notice smoke. The final training objectives are planned for January 2014 when the drill will be completed and the structure fully burned. Since it is often difficult to find realistic training opportunities, the structure will providing practical, hands-on training over several months, fire officials say. The EFR training division will coordinate a succession of drills that include Rapid Intervention Crews, Compressed Air Foam and multi-company operations. Fire officials add that although the decrease in fires and fire deaths today is a testament to the progress made over the years in fire prevention and public education, firefighters still need hands-on training to learn proper firefighting techniques to keep themselves as safe as possible.
Firefighters training at the house behind the Sammamish library. Eastside Fire and Rescue passed out a letter to residents in proximity of the training house so they were aware of the situation. Although it’s pretty obvious where this house is located, Eastside Fire and Rescue had the incorrect designator on the letter. It should have read “SE” instead of “NE.”
