Overlake Hospital chef reduces antibiotics in meat served in cafeteria BY DANIEL NASH
BELLEVUE REPORTER
At Overlake Hospital Medical Center, Executive Chef Chris Linaman has succeeded in making nearly half of his kitchen's meats antibiotic free by the second half of 2013. The effort gained significance this week as the Food and Drug Administration took steps toward phasing out the use of some antibiotics in animals processed for meat, citing a potential threat to public health. Antibiotic resistance in humans has been a growing concern in the medical community for years. While antibiotics’ efficacy in fighting formerly fatal infections earned them a reputation as “miracle drugs” in the 20th century — indeed, the safety of chemotherapy and many
surgeries depends on them — they’ve always come with a measure of risk. Bacteria reproduce rapidly. Biologist Richard Lenski’s long-term evolution experiment with E. coli, begun in 1988, counted 50,000 generations by its anniversary in 2010. Such a high rate of reproduction means the life forms evolve rapidly — cultures that survive treatment from antibiotics can become resistant. Linaman knows the consequences of antibiotic resistance firsthand. Seven years ago, he fell ill to a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. He was treated with several rounds of antibiotics, most of which were ineffective, and one of which he had an allergic reaction. “I spent a better part of
a year sick,” he said. “They started me out on an easy (antibiotic) that the infection was resistant to. … I believe I went through three to four steps before they found one that made me better.” The experience made him conscious of the potential contributors to resistance, one of which is the popular use of antibiotics on livestock. In addition to their intended use to treat existing infections, regular subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics have the secondary effect of promoting growth, thus leading to a greater yield of meat. Critics of the practice are concerned people could eat an under-cooked meal and contract, for example, a drug-resistant strain of salmonella or E. coli. The FDA made steps ear-
lier in December to move the industry away from non-prescripted antibiotic use, asking drug companies to voluntarily stop labeling such drugs as promoters of animal growth. “I’m all for (antibiotic use on livestock) if people want to take care of sick animals,” Linaman said. “But their use as a preemptive strike is where you get into trouble.” Starting nine months ago, Linaman had already begun SEE OVERLAKE, 13
Bill Ptacek, director of the King County Library System since 1989, has resigned, effective Feb. 1, 2014, to become CEO of the Calgary Public Library in Alberta, Canada. During his 25-year tenure, Ptacek’s vision for technology and collection management kept the library system in the forefront of public libraries nationally. In 1990, it operated 36 community libraries with an annual circulation above nine million items. Under Ptacek , it grew as King County’s population and economy expanded and local municipalities voted to join the library system. Voter-approved capital improvement bond measures (passed in 1988 and 2004) funded new, replacement and expanded libraries, adding nearly 515,000 square feet of library space, while annual circulation Bill Ptacek grew to more than 22 Reporter file photo million items. Voters also passed a one-year levy increase during the 2009 economic crisis, demonstrating the community’s support of the system. The library system typically shares one of the top three spots for highest circulating public library in the United States and leads the U.S., Canada and Australia in eBook circulation. It was named Busiest Library in 2010 and Library Journal’s 2011 Library of the Year. “For Bill, this is a great opportunity to take on exciting new challenges…and it’s not easy to top the challenges Bill has tackled with KCLS. We are sorry to see him go,” said KCLS Board Chair Lucy Krakowiak. Added board trustee Jessica Bonebright, “Bill’s move marks the beginning of our search for a candidate who can fill his well-worn running shoes. KCLS’ recruiting campaign for a new library director — a job opening rarely seen — will be conducted both nationally and internationally.” Julie Brand, director of community relations and marketing, has been appointed to serve as interim director until a new director is hired.

A home in the Newport Shores community of Bellevue sustained major fire damage on Dec. 19. COURTESY PHOTO
Fire causes major damage at Newport Shores home BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Multiple units responded to a house fire in the Newport Shores community of Bellevue that caused major damage, but no injuries, the evening of Dec. 19. Bellevue firefighters responded to the two-story house around 7 p.m. where a one-story addition had caught fire, later spreading into the kitchen, adding luckily no one was home at the time. Firefighters focused suppression on the right, back and front side of the house with Mercer Island, Kirkland and Eastside departments assisting. “A lot of companies went to the roof and opened up the roof on the second story,” said Burke. “(The fire) was mostly
contained to that new addition off the back, but it did get into the kitchen area, which caused a lot of damage to the house.” Supplementary crews provided protection to adjacent homes, which were undamaged by the fire, and firefighters stayed on the scene through the night watching for hot spots. A second fire investigator was brought in to expedite the investigation as snowfall last Thursday and Friday was expected to interfere, and a cause for the fire is still being determined. Damage to the structure is estimated at more than $300,000. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Ouster of Eastside Catholic vice principal brings protests BY LINDA BALL REPORTER NEWSPAPERS
What started out with five students "got big very, very fast," said Eastside Catholic School senior Kyle Bastian, 18. The forced resignation of popular viceprincipal and swim coach Mark Zmuda for marrying his same-sex partner, Dana Jergens, last summer, had Eastside Catholic students upset and expressing solidarity for Zmuda. Sister Mary Tracy, president and CEO of the school, said Zmuda was in violation of the teachings of the Catholic Church, not something at Eastside Catholic. "It's a firm decision," Tracy said. "If the teachings of the church change, I'd hire him back in a minute. He's a wonderful educator." Zmuda received a Bachelor of Science in mathematics education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Virginia, and holds a Master of Arts in educational leadership and policy studies from the University of Texas, with principal certification. She said they hope to hire an excellent replacement, and in the interim they do have an excellent assistant swim coach. Zmuda's last day at the school was Dec. 20. Although the school was closed, he would coach his last swim meet that day. While Zmuda was preparing for the swim meet, more than 100 people gathered in front of the Archdiocese of Seattle to demonstrate in his support, calling for changes to the church. Young and old, Catholic and non-Catholic, they were there. "I believe everyone has the right to be

married if they love someone, and God loves everyone," said Eastside Catholic student Nicole Costello. "That's what they preach in my school." Costello said she was one of the first students at a sit-in Thursday morning, Dec. 19, at the school. Bastian said the sit-in was originally planned for Dec. 20, but things "just exploded." Since television media were not allowed on the campus, the students
marched out to 228th Avenue Southeast before returning to the school's gymnasium where they had a sit-in from about 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., according to student organizer Maddie Racine. Maddie's father, Mike Racine, came to the school to stand with her to support Zmuda. A product of Catholic school himself, Mike Racine called the situation "morally bankrupt." At Friday's demonstration, Charles Fuchs said he hasn't been a member of the Catholic Church in 40 years, but he too had attended Catholic schools. He said he was encouraged to see the young people peacefully calling for change in the church. "I'm here in support of this person who got fired and I think it's duplicitous of the church to be doing this," Fuchs said. John Dunn of Seattle is an active member of the church, and was visiting with Fuchs. He said Jesus came to challenge the religious and political leaders of his time. "He broke a whole lot of rules to teach inclusiveness," Dunn said. "Locally we've moved a long way on this, but the church has not." A myriad of signs were displayed by demonstrators, such as "God is with thee, Mr. Z," "Catholics for marriage equality," "WWJD?" "Educators now — nurses next?" and "21st Century Catholics for a 21st Century Church." Chants — loud enough for those inside the Archdiocese offices to hear, included "Change the church," "Love always wins," "No more hate" and "God is love, stop the SEE EASTSIDE, 8

Library resources to save your sanity
T
he reservations have been made, the gifts are wrapped, the packing is nearly done and I’m ready for my family’s holiday travel. My kids are good travelers, but they’re not so good at getting along on road trips. There’s something about the confined space of the back seat that makes them lash out and lob insults or goldfish crackers at one another. That can make a five-hour drive feel like ten. Sometimes I threaten to pull the car over. I’ve since discovered that audio books are a more effective way to calm them than standby threats. My parents weren’t so lucky when I was growing up. Years ago, in a station wagon headed toward Montana, wedged between a surly brother and a car sick sister, I’d elbow out Darcy Brixey more than my share of seat space and nestle into a good book. My sister was easily car sick, so she could never read and she’d pinch me or find some other annoying behavior to pass the time. Thank goodness Dramamine made her sleepy. Once she sacked out, I was free to read. Many road trips were enriched by Nancy Drew mysteries and Susan Cooper novels. Plus, it gave my parents some peace. Our children’s e-book page has a great list of recommendations for family titles. I’ve been loading books on my e-reader to have a variety of choices to suit their varying tastes. My daughter likes gentle stories with ponies while my son wants to read about criminal masterminds and robots. There isn’t much middle ground there. Because I have two kids and one e-reader, I have also checked out a handful of Playaways. A Playaway is an MP3 player with a book already loaded on it. Playaways are small, about the size of a library card, so they can be kept in pockets and back packs. They are a dream for long flights and drives because there is no fighting. The kids have each fallen into a good book. SEE BRIXEY, 5

A legislative wish list
A
preview of coming attractions and distractions for lawmakers next year can be found in the pile of legislation awaiting them when they return to Olympia in January. There have been 59 bills filed early — 38 in the House and 21 in the Senate — dealing with specialty license plates and protecting hospital employees from violent criminals, as well as naming a state waterfall and ensuring natural Jerry Cornfield disasters don’t shut down government. Here’s a sample of new laws House and Senate members are already pushing: One overpass, hold the art: There’s a move afoot to end the prettification of bridges, overpasses, sound walls and offramps. House Bill 2092 would bar state transportation agencies from spending public funds to “acquire works of art” or make “decorative finishes or designs that are not integral to the function of a transportation structure.” Washington Pot & Trust: Who better to handle the cash for the pot industry

than the state, right? Senate Bill 5955 creates a publicly owned trust to “act as the sole depository for in-state marijuana producers, processers, and retailers and to use taxable earnings from those deposits for the benefit of the people and economy of the state.” All in the cannabis family: You won’t get high off hemp but you might make money selling oils, clothes and other products made from this variety of cannabis sativa. Senate Bill 5954 sets the rules for a new industrial hemp industry. Growers will need licenses and to pay fees, and those dollars would be deposited in the proposed publicly-owned trust. Really special: The University of Washington has a specialty license plate. So, too, do Washington State University and Gonzaga. Seattle University may be next. That’s the idea behind House Bill 2100, which would direct proceeds from any sales into a student scholarship fund. A layer of protection: When a person suspected or convicted of a violent crime is brought to a hospital for care, sometimes they attack nurses or other employees. SEE CORNFIELD, 5

Bad decision on wind farms, eagles Many Eastside Audubon members were shocked and dismayed to learn of
the U.S. Department of Interior’s plan to allow 30-year permits for killing Bald and Golden Eagles at wind farms. We know wind energy is a key part of our national effort to combat climate change. But Eastside Audubon believes we must carefully site and manage those facilities to reduce impacts to birds and other wildlife. This 30-year permit locks us into a path that will result in unnecessarily large numbers of dead eagles. How can the Interior Department sanction the needless killing of our national symbol, the Bald Eagle? On behalf of the Eastside Audubon chapter of the National Audubon Society, we urge Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to reverse this decision and work with conservation groups and the wind industry to come up with a better solution — one that promotes wind energy and minimizes collateral damage to our Bald and Golden Eagle populations.

A lovely gift Every Christmas time for the past 15 years or so I have put up a modest light display in our front garden. This has grown as we added new items. Now that I am getting on in years, it takes a good number of hours to set up and I groan and grumble, declaring each year that this will be the last time. Then we found an envelope on our front porch, with a card inside, which in a child’s handwriting simply says “I like your lights, by your secret Santa.” Thank you, Santa for this lovely gift. I guess I’ll be putting up the lights for some years to come.

Under Senate Bill 5968, these potentially violent individuals must be accompanied by a law enforcement officer or guard at all times during the visit. Scenic standout: Washington has its share of official symbols. There’s a state bird, fruit, insect, folk song and even a ship. House Bill 2119 would name Palouse Falls in southeast Washington as the official state waterfall. The sales pitch is that the falls drop 198 feet and are considered one of the most amazing waterfalls in the U.S. and the world. Disclosure duties: A little training might help elected leaders of cities, counties and special districts avoid violations of the public records act that can result in big payouts to seekers of records. House Bill 2121 would require every elected official to complete a training course within 90 days of taking office. Primary avoidance: When voters fill the unexpired term of a partisan county office, as they will for Snohomish County executive next year, a primary is held even if only one candidate files. Under House Bill 2106, no primary would be held in such instances. The candidate must still go before voters in November in case a write-in candidate surfaces. In the event of an emergency: Washington’s constitution lays out how government will operate in an “emergency resulting from enemy attack.” It doesn’t mention other emergencies like a natural disaster. Senate Bill 5971 and a proposed constitutional amendment would update the language to make sure an earthquake, tsunami or even invasion from Idaho or Canada are covered.

this can be largely explained by a common root cause for both not finishing high school and low earnings. I did not mean to imply that fetal alcohol syndrome is a particularly widespread cause for students failing to finish high school. No doubt every student’s story includes a complex interplay between nature and nurture. There are so many variables in every human life. My point is that we must not permit ourselves to be deluded by statistical illusion. Our process of forming policy that affects the young is far too important for that. Simply because two phenomena coincide does not mean that there is a causal link between the two. We should care enough about our young people to think in a clear minded manner about the costs and benefits of any policy affecting them, including coercing high school attendance.

Outerwall cuts staff, scraps kiosk ventures
CorePower Yoga stretches into Bellevue BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
CorePower Yoga has stretched into Bellevue with its Dec. 20 opening at the Avalon Towers marking the fourth studio to launch in the Seattle area since 2012. The Denver-based yoga company opened its first Seattle studio in Ballard in 2012 and Capitol Hill and Green Lake studios earlier this year. Bellevue won’t be the last, with plans for a fifth studio in Queen Anne to open in late January. “Every choice that we make always ends up very successful,” said Michelle Kuhnly, manager of the Bellevue studio. “We’re not worried about competition.

Man faces vehicular homicide charge A Bellevue man involved in a fatal vehicle-versus-motorcycle collision that killed 23-year-old Blake Gaston on Oct. 4 has been charged with vehicular homicide after toxicology reports show he was high on marijuana way over the legal limit in Washington. The Bellevue Police Department reports it was notified of the charge against Caleb J. Floyd, 33, Dec. 19 by the King County Prosecutor’s Office and that a $100,000 arrest warrant had been issued. According to police, Gaston had been riding his motorcycle on Northeast 10th Street around 6 p.m. Oct. 4, when Floyd made a left turn to northbound 102nd Avenue Northeast striking the motorcyclist with his Acura Coupe. Gaston died from massive head trauma.

hate.” If church administrators didn't get the message before, they surely did as students took turns on the bullhorn speaking in support of Zmuda. Maddie Racine took to the bullhorn. “We're here to pray for Mr.Z.… and we need to change the church,” she said. "We're all here to support that and win.” Even Seattle Mayor-elect Ed Murray came to the demonstration. Murray, who is openly gay, married his partner last summer. Murray was pleased to see all the young people there “changing the world.” He said he was not there as mayorelect, but rather in support of Zmuda. “The Catholic Church, which I am a member of, teaches social justice and family,” he said. “We must treat people fairly. Catholic families are looking at this right now saying this is my brother, this is my sister.” Murray said he has not talked to the Archdiocese about the issue.

Alex Kovar, an 18-year-old senior at Eastside Catholic, said that 30-40 students protested in front of Sammamish City Hall the morning of Dec. 20, as well. The protest was organized by students from Eastlake High School. Kovar said Seattle Preparatory School also had a sit-in Dec. 19. “Our goal is equal rights and to change the church's longstanding doctrine that homosexuality is a sin,” Kovar said. “We're all children of God and should be treated equally. Pope Francis said ‘Who am I to judge’ (when asked about homosexuality). Mr. Zmuda is a very good man and he didn't deserve this. It doesn't make sense that one minor detail cost him his job.” At the Archdiocese demonstration Kovar said to the crowd that he'd never been more proud to be a crusader on a day that could go down in history. “I think we've made a huge impact,” said Maddie Racine. Racine said a mass text — origin unknown — went out the night of Dec. 18 that Zmuda was being let go, kicking off the entire series of events. During the sit-in, students, Zmuda, principal Polly Skinner and Sister Tracy had a discussion. “They said it's the Archdiocese of Seattle who made the decision," she said. “There's nothing they can do. It's sad to see a teacher punished for his beliefs that are in no way affiliated with what he does or his job.” A 2013 Eastside Catholic graduate, Rachel Nelson, said they hoped to talk to the Archdiocese after the holidays. Students from other Catholic schools in the Seattle area also showed their support. A student displayed a photo that was emailed to him from a friend at Holy Names Academy in Seattle of a large group holding up a sign that said, “We support EC.” The demonstration at the Archdiocese ended with students singing along to Seattle rapper Macklemore's “Same Love,” a song about homosexuality not being a choice. They sang, they hugged, smiled and danced, all for Mr. Z.

No more hang-ups Roy Wood, Jr. is perhaps best known for his radio prank calls. They’ve been syndicated across the country on both broadcast and satellite shows and appeared on the mixtapes of artists like Chamillionaire. If you search Roy Wood, Jr. on YouTube and sort by popularity, you would go more than two pages before you saw the first result with views below six figures. He’s filled three albums with his calls. But Wood, 35, is quick to downplay their significance in his comedy career. He said such calls were a morning zoo staple; his just aired at the tipping point of the viral Internet. Not that he isn’t grateful: At the height of their popularity, his website went from 500 hits per week to 80,000 a day. “That was kind of a gift and a curse at the same time,” Wood said, speaking over the phone Dec. 19. “The thing about those prank calls was that probably as many people know me from those as they do my stand-up. But the people who know me from the pranks don’t know I do stand-up.” The popularity of the calls has brought more people to his shows, but they don’t always know what to expect. “I had a lady in Denver who walked out on me because I didn’t do prank calls during my show,” he said. “I mean… what

did she expect? That I was going to call people up while I was on stage? Even the Jerky Boys — they were the most famous prank callers — and even they didn’t do live shows. Who would want to see that?” For Wood, it all comes down to the different muscles exercised in his chosen mediums. He worked his way up the radio circuit, first as a news reporter in Tallahassee, Fla. After college he took a job in his native Birmingham, Ala., writing for The Buck Wilde Morning Show. Wood had begun as a standup at age 19 and continued to perform on stage. But his responsibility to his day job meant he would remain a local performer. “For me, (radio and stand-up comedy are) kind of completely different muscles,”

Wood said. “Radio is about what’s going on in the world and talking about what’s going on in the world. Comedy is more introspective, and it’s kind of the opposite of radio, especially urban radio … Radio became less and less useful to me creatively.” Wood left the station for Los Angeles in 2007. In 2010, he competed on the seventh season of “Last Comic Standing.” He was a fan favorite who was voted through to the final five, his third-place finish causing host Craig Robinson to remark he “just lost $400.” Still, making it to the season finale
put him on the post-show “Last Comic Standing Tour.” He also returned to 95.7 JAMZ to host the “Roy Wood Jr. Show with Nu York and B Money,” splitting his time between Los Angeles, Birmingham and tour stops. He left radio again in 2012, after being cast in the TBS sitcom “Sullivan & Son” (incidentally set in Birmingham) as a childhood friend of series star and fellow standup Steve Byrne. SEE WOOD, 10

Free museum passes from Bellevue Library BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
The King County Library System’s Bellevue location is offering free passes to the Bellevue Arts Museum, KidsQuest Children’s Museum and Washington State History Museum through the end of January. KCLS and the three museums have partnered to offer a limited number of passes. One pass allows up to two adults and four children to enter the relevant museum. The catch? Receiving a pass requires registration, and opening are filling up quickly. Passes for all three museums are currently spoken for through Dec. 28, so registration is better done sooner than
WOOD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9
The break following the show’s first season gave Wood the freedom to focus on touring and recording his debut concert album, “Things I Think I Think,” released in November. He had previously sprinkled standalone bits into his prank call albums, thinking he didn’t have the chops for a contiguous hour.
later. The Bellevue Arts Museum, located downtown, is currently exhibiting “A World of Paper, A World of Fashion: Isabelle de Borchgrave Meets Mariano Fortuny.” KidsQuest, located in Factoria, is a hands-on children’s museum where patrons learn while they play. The Washington State History Museum in Tacoma features exhibits ranging from women’s suffrage in the Pacific Northwest to the mystery of D.B. Cooper. The Hall of Washington History preserves the state’s artifacts, new and old. Reserve your passes by visiting the Library’s events page.
Recent years have helped him find his sweet spot harping on life’s smallest injustices, from outrageous theater concession prices to his uncle’s habit of using his Christmas presents… before passing them on to family. “I’m a frustrated guy,” Wood said of his sense of humor. “I’ve always tried to put me in a box. I’m definitely out to overanalyze and challenge things.” Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com

Bellevue back for more Even with a host of freshman leading the way, the Bellevue girls basketball team achieved historical feats last season. The Wolverines parlayed a second straight 3A KingCo tournament title into a regional round win over defending 3A state champion Prairie, and eventually a fifthplace finish at the state tournament. Standout post Shelby Cansler is back after a standout freshman campaign that included 3A KingCo MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors, and fellow first team All-KingCo selection Mandy Steward gives Bellevue the inside track to another conference crown and state tournament berth. Head coach Leah Krautter said Cansler, Steward and the rest of the Wolverines are decidedly more cohesive than last year on both ends of the floor, as well as away from it. “I don’t know if they felt like they had pressure on them, or if they were unsure of themselves,” she said. “They definitely seem
closer this year.” An improved Bellevue could spell disaster for the rest of the conference, and the early returns have indicated it could be an even more balanced group this year. Cansler is averaging just more than 20 points and seven rebounds per game, with Mandy Steward adding nearly 15 points per contest. Krautter said with an even more refined skill set, including better ball-handling and outside shooting abilities, the biggest challenge has been reining-in Cansler. “She wants to play the point guard all the time,” Krautter said with a laugh. “She has improved her outside shot a lot and just matured a lot. Her confidence is pretty strong.” The Wolverines have run through each of the four KingCo foes they faced before the holiday vacation, with a much-anticipated game with undefeated Juanita cancelled due to weather.

Glacier Peak, which Bellevue beat in the first round of last year’s state tournament, handed them their only loss so far this year. Krautter said she hopes to use her team’s trip to the Max Preps Holiday Classic as a measuring stick. “We’re really excited to play some teams from out of state,” she said. “I’m excited to expose the girls to that and I think it can maybe serve as a test for us.” The Wolverines are set to host 4A Davis (Yakima) before resuming conference play, and face a pair of

Sports Roundup
What’s happening in sports and recreation
Youth runners compete at Nationals The Cascade Striders youth running club recently competed in San Antonio, Texas at the United States Track and Field Youth Cross Country Championships, after qualifying at the Pacific Northwest Regional event. Katherine Forsberg of Bellevue was the highest individual finisher at regionals in the 11-12 year old girls division in 16th place. Coach Joe Johnson said competing at Nationals is always a thrill for youngsters and coaches alike, and helping the athletes manage the environment will be a key. “They are far from home and really connect much more strongly as a team,” he said. “They are relying on each other on the course, behaving at a level you typically only see in high school and college.” The Cascade Striders are based in Bellevue, offering
running opportunities for youngsters competing in cross country and track and field. Runners from Bellevue were: Paul Secheyron, 7; Emily DeJarlais, 10; Benny Brudnak, 9,; Rayjin Olson, 9; Alex Stramann, 12; Jane Andersen, 12; Kate Forsberg, 11; Lauren Barkley, 11; Ruben Luthra, 12; Tom Secheyron, 12; Gannon Forsberg, 11; Joe Andersen, 11.

Pair of college prospects commit A day after Baker won Player of the Year honors from the AP, he made a public announcement about his collegiate future, saying via Twitter he will attend the University of Oregon. Newport senior tight end Drew Sample, also a member of the basketball team, gave a verbal pledge to the University of Washington.
Baker named AP Player of Year Bellevue senior Budda Baker picked up an honor befitting the state’s top recruit recently, when the Associated Press named him its All Classification State Player of the Year. The all-purpose threat was also named Class 3A Player of the Year by the AP, headlining an All-State
team that also included several of his state title winning Wolverine teammates. Senior offensive lineman Morgan Richey and Marcus Griffin landed on the first team offense after paving the way for another dominant corps of running backs and signal-caller Timmy Haehl.

Griffin also found his way onto the first team defense on the line, with junior linebacker Ross Conners and defensive backs Baker and Haehl also on the first team.

moving Overlake Hospital toward greater use of antibiotic-free meat. As the hospital’s executive chef, he oversees all the food that comes into and out of a kitchen that produces roughly 2,500 to 3,000 meals and meal equivalents per day. Linaman started by substituting in only USDA organic patties into his hamburgers, and raised prices by the amount of the extra cost — less than a dime per patty. He set a goal to make his kitchen’s meats 30 percent antibiotic-free by June 2014. While reviewing the vendor reports for the third quarter of this year, he found the kitchen’s meats had already achieved 45 percent freedom from antibiotic use. Linaman said vendors were more than willing to help Overlake find sources of antibiotic-free meat. “It’s easier, first, once you find them and once, in terms of expense, you decide to take the plunge to find them,” he said. The chef said consumers concerned about resistant infections in meat can look for antibiotic-free labeling at their grocery store. Labels such as “raised without antibiotics,” “no antibiotics administered,” “Organic” and “animal welfare approved” indicate antibioticfree meat, he said. Linaman is awaiting his fourth quarter 2013 vendor reports, which arrive in January, to determine if Overlake has continued to use a significant percentage of antibiotic-free meat. He would like to maintain levels of 30to 45 percent, he said.
