Fried food, animal smells, concert music and carnival rides — yep, the Washington State Fair has returned.

Until Sept. 21, you can find the best livestock, agriculture, horticulture and crafts the state has to offer in Puyallup. This year’s fair packs a whopping punch with a slew of high-pro-file music acts and the usual, if no less impressive, bunch of Washingtonian achievements.

Walking in the gate, you might feel overwhelmed at the sheer number of things to do in the fairgrounds. Should you immediately head over and dive into a basket of fried butter? Head over to the livestock barn and hear which rooster crows the loudest? Visit one of the many crafts buildings and spot all the nuance and detail in the dollhouses? These are big deci-sions that a hardy fairgoer will have to make. Rest assured that if you get your fill of one type of entertainment, plenty more is right around the corner for the whole family.

The livestock and agriculture staples remain the main draw of the 2014 state fair. Walking through the barns, you can see the prize-winning animals and learn how they earned their ribbons from those who raised them. Cattle, horses, rabbits, roosters and more fill the air with their sounds and smells.

Then, be sure to check out the (air-conditioned) agriculture

tent, where some of the pretti-est, and most impressive, plants are on display. Don’t miss this year’s largest pumpkin, weigh-ing in at more than 1,500 pounds.

A large part of the livestock displays feature the hard work of the 4-H participants. The dedicated school children trot-ted out their best animals, in-

cluding cats, and crafting skills. Patrons can walk through rows and rows of impressive art, littered with educational poster boards and presentations.

The school-aged entries are just the beginning as you meander through the Hobby

Beautiful late summer weather brings the crowd out to the 2014 Washington State Fair in Puyallup Sept. 7 and the array of activities, food and attractions kept them there.

LIFE IS FAIR IN PUYALLUP

Members of the Overlake Medical Center’s hip replacement team welcome back Anna Kaminska, seven months after doctors gave her a new hip joint in a challenging procedure.

By Peter Clarkpclark@isspress.com

One Issaquah woman is now taking things in stride with help from Overlake Medical Center.

Anna Kaminska was in a car crash 21 years ago in her native country of Poland. The wreck shattered her hip joint and doctors fused her femur with her pelvis, greatly reducing her mobility at age 12. Over time, ex-cessive reliance on joints above and below her non-existent hip, as well as her inability to sit or lie comfortably, gave Kaminska considerable pain.

When she moved to Issaquah three years ago, the 33-year-old began looking for an answer. After two recommendations to Overlake Medical Center’s Dr. James Bruckner, a joint replace-

ment and months of physical therapy, she has found a “mira-cle.”

“Sitting is really nice,” Kamin-ska said, smiling. “I didn’t realize what I had lost.”

Seven months after the op-eration, she met again with lead surgeon Bruckner and the team that performed the procedure. A Sept. 3 reunion was emotional as they welcomed Kaminska back to the physical therapy center and watched her demonstrate the progress she has made and how her muscles have gradually strengthened with daily exercise.

Bruckner talked about he and fellow surgeon Dr. John Clark making the decision to treat Kaminska. Others told of the aftermath of the surgery.

“The first time she sat, she just started crying,” physical thera-

pist Mary Ann Welch said. “She just said, ‘I’m so happy.’”

The original operation of fus-ing the two bones is hardly used at all these days.

“Today, it’s very uncommon,” Bruckner said. “There are al-most no circumstances in which we would do that. We will do anything we can short of a hip fusion.”

He said a main reason mod-ern medicine doesn’t perform the procedure on women is that it complicates the possibility of giving birth. Bruckner was de-lighted that Kaminska could have a son, now 3 years old.

He said the lack of an existing ball and socket joint made the procedure all the more difficult,

After 44 years, most people around the Puget Sound area have an awareness of the Salmon Days Festival.

For some out-of-towners, it’s “that arts and crafts festival with the huge salmon in that beautiful Eastside community.” To others it’s “the last big not-to-miss festi-val of the year.” To those who live in Issaquah, however, the festival is so much more.

To most locals, it’s a yearly tradition spanning generations, a time for the community — busi-nesses, nonprofit organizations, city leaders, citizens, young and old alike — to come together for a weekend of community pride and community showcasing. Some businesses report they have their busiest two days of the year.

The two days of the festival are different than any of the other 363 for Issaquah. People seem to be everywhere in town — to ex-plore, enjoy and discover. There are different traffic patterns, different activities, live music and more. But did you know the festi-val is good for the entire commu-nity’s health and sustainability?

With more than 150,000 an-nual attendees, and having won numerous international awards, our fish-friendly festival has clearly put Issaquah on the map. The festival brings in millions of dollars of economic impact, substantial tax revenues and community exposure to potential new residents, new businesses and new visitors.

People come from all over the

region to Salmon Days and many shop in our stores, eat in our res-taurants, stay in our hotels, etc. What’s more, many return. Some even move here. The Issaquah Chamber of Commerce continues to use the festival to help tell the story of what a great community we have.

Salmon Days is also one of the major fundraisers and exposure for more than 70 local/regional civic, service, charitable and nonprofit organizations that use the crowd access and visibility to build awareness for their cause. Thanks to generous sponsors and partnerships with the city, these organizations receive this expo-sure at a substantial discount.

This will be Salmon Days’ 45th consecutive year of helping promote Issaquah and showcase community pride. Join in to the Coho Mojo fun Oct. 4 and 5.

Salmon Days is more than fishy fun

Salmon Days 2014 will intro-duce a competitive golf tourna-ment to kick off the festival.

The Salmon Days Golf Classic is at The Golf Club at Newcastle, Coal Creek Course, at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 22. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m.

Organizers are trying to make a festive experience for everyone in attendance, so entrance to the event gets you lunch, dinner, drinks, contests and a lot more.

Each team even gets an iPad for use during its round that displays the scores live of all of the other teams furthering the competitiveness of the tourna-ment. The event is followed by SalmonChanted Evening, the celebration dinner for festival Spawnsors. All players will be invited to stick around for the festivities. Learn more about the tournament at www.salmon-daysgolf.com.

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.

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 joint-replacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

Hall to spy the incredible talent at work in Wash-ington state. Woodwork, fiber arts, collectibles and decorating all take center stage in intriguing displays as hidden craftsmen and women unveil their skills for fairgoers.

If you get your fill of crafts and livestock, but re-main hungry for something else, you can find relief in the expected smorgasbord of food carts. The usual cast of characters (krusty pups, elephant ears, brats) makes its appearance to the delight of many. Don’t be afraid to also try some of the more exotic fare like the authentic piroshky cart and, yes, fried butter.

Whether you’d like to re-lax in one of the many beer gardens, drinking delicious Red Hook Longhammer IPA, or take a stroll along the Midway, you’re sure to spot another attraction worth your time. The carnival

games provide many a chance to impress a date and the rides loom large, with three roller coasters to test your mettle. For a more leisurely experience, you can ride a gondola soaring above the event and get an bird’s eye view of the action.

After you’ve seen the best raised animals, the best crafted art and the best fried fixin’s, you may want to make your way to the enormous exhibition hall. There, hundreds of vendors want to show you the latest in massage tech-nology, the hippest in hair dye and décor galore.

Look to the stadium for this year’s concert series that boasts Toby Keith, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham and more. If the rockers aren’t your speed, the cowboys and cowgirls that perform in the many rodeos probably are.

Of course, the schedule changes wildly. Every day offers many new opportu-nities for entertainment or education. Woodturning demonstrations, comedic jugglers, Asian cultural

appreciation and rodeos are just a few examples of all that you can find in Puyallup.

If you want a way to get down to the event, with-out having to worry about parking, the Sounder Train Fair Express runs Satur-day, Sept. 13 and 20, from one of nine stations in King and Snohomish counties.

leaving him and Clark to shape a new joint for Kaminska.

She still has a long re-covery ahead of her. With two decades of atrophy, she has to rebuild many

muscles around her new hip joint.

“It’s going to take two years,” he said. “She’ll continue to get stronger and stronger.”

In the meantime, he said she has the perfect attitude.

“The surgery’s the easy part, because the patient just sleeps during it,” Kaminska said, talking to the medical staff pres-ent. “You did an excellent job and I will keep doing all the work. I work hard because I owe you.”

In the beginning, she

had physical therapy three times a week, and then once a week and now she does the exercises herself.

“Miracles do happen,” she said. “But they need the right people, the right place, the right time, patience and a lot of hard work.”

Now that her recovery is well on its way, Kaminska looks forward to visiting her mother and having her witness the change brought by Overlake Medi-cal Center.

“Finally, she’ll see me stride,” Kaminska said.

The first fish have been sighted at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and it’s that time of year again — time to step up to help the amazing salmon that are returning home and the crowds of people that will follow them.

The hatchery, with thousands of visitors every year, is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s hatcheries.

There are many ways to do right by the salmon and visitors:4Volunteer at the hatchery to lead Friends of the

Issaquah Salmon Hatchery tours and be guides for the thousands of school children, local residents and people from all over the state who come to see this annual miracle.

You get a hatchery tour, learn about salmon habitat and the salmon lifecycle, and how the fish return every year to where they came from, and then you get to pass it on. How cool is that? Learn more about FISH at www.issaquahfish.org or call 392-1118.4Volunteer at the FISHop, the recently opened annual

gift shop at the hatchery, where people can stock up on fun, fishy items.4Put on waders and volunteer to help with the spawning

that is done at the hatchery.4Spruce up your yard and public places, so they look great

for visitors coming to see the fish or the more than 150,000 attendees of the 45th annual Salmon Days Festival on Oct. 4-5.4And finally, even though the volunteer sign-up dinner

has passed, you can volunteer to do all kinds of jobs for the festival that celebrates the salmon’s return.

Help with the Grande Parade; answer questions at informa-tion booths; be a booth Ohfishal, assistant or sitter; help set up stages for the great live entertainment; put up signs and balloons; help sell Salmon Days merchandise; be a festival “runner”; assist people with and help direct them to parking; and clean up during and after the festival. You’ll still even get one of those coveted volunteer T-shirts, although you’ll have to stop by the Festivals Office to pick it up.

All ages are needed. You must be 12 or older, or be accompanied by a parent if you’re younger than 12. Apply at www.salmondays.org/volunteers.html or call 392-0661.

The salmon have traveled for years and untold miles to return home for their last call. Help them and the public by giving a few hours of your time. You won’t be sorry you did!

Talus trees

The trees are the view; enjoy them

If I could take a moment to remind those that buy homes in Issaquah… the trees are the view! We are so fortunate to live within a tall urban forest and it should be celebrated not demolished. Please, everyone, look out your window and be grateful that we have so many beautiful, oxygen-producing, soil-protecting, wildlife-sustain-ing evergreens all around our fine city!

Susan TrentIssaquah

Cutting down trees is a mistakeRegarding the Talus homeown-

ers who want to cut down trees so they can have a better view.

This view would include beautiful evergreen trees off in the distance. However, the homeowner off in the distance wants to cut down their trees so they can view yours. This strategy will ultimately result in Issaquah as one giant clear-cut

and no one will have a view of any trees.

Diapers

Do you know about the need?Sept. 7-13 is National Diaper

Need Awareness Week. Do you know about the diaper need na-tionally, and here at home?

It can cost $100 or more per month to keep a baby in diapers. Currently, no safety-net program at the federal or state level helps with buying diapers. Poor fami-lies can get help for food through various programs, and specially targeted funds support programs for Women, Infants and Children, but WIC and food-assistance pro-grams cannot be used for diapers.

When babies’ diapers are changed infrequently because caregivers are trying to conserve, children are at increased risk of urinary tract and skin infections, viral meningitis, dysentery and diarrhea. Babies crying from spending hours in soiled diapers are also at increased risk of abuse.

There is also a connection

between having money for dia-pers and sending your children to school and going to work yourself. Most daycare centers, including free and subsidized facilities, will not admit a child who arrives without a day’s sup-ply of diapers. If you don’t have the diapers to take your child to childcare, then you may not be able to go to work or to a training course. If you have federal aid, you could lose it, as many pro-grams, such as Temporary Aid for Needy Families, have work or training requirements.

Local nonprofit Eastside Baby Corner works to help with diaper need in King County. EBC supplies 11 food banks and hundreds of children with diapers throughout the year. About 700,000 diapers are distributed, free of charge, through social service agen-cies, hospitals, Public Health the Department of Child and Fam-ily Services and schools – only a fraction of the diapers needed in a state where more than 19 percent of children live below the federal poverty line. Help by supporting Eastside Baby Corner. Learn more at www.babycorner.org.

Once again, a perfectly good vacation moment was ruined by all of the dolts around me.

Nothing sets my blood a boilin’ more than tourists who can’t stop being tourists for one darn second to appreciate what’s before them.

Last month, my wife and I visited my sister outside Balti-more. The last day of the trip, we trekked into Philadelphia to take in a few sites. Top on my list was the Liberty Bell, one of the most iconic artifacts from our history that is uniquely American.

It’s housed these days in a long building at the end of a string of displays detailing every tidbit of its history. For instance, did you know it was last rung in 1846 in honor of George Washington’s birthday, before a crack in it became so egregious that it ren-dered it silent?

With a long line that wrapped around one side of the building, it nearly took us an hour to get to the bell itself.

Finally, behind a narrow rope barrier, in all its 2,000-pound glory, was the Liberty Bell. And here’s what hacked me off — every single tourist ahead of me quickly took a photo in front of it and left.

Imagine traveling halfway around the world to Issaquah, only to walk down the street to such landmarks as the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in or the salmon hatchery, and saying, “Hmm. Interesting.” Then, leave with-out going inside or approaching either.

Blaarhg!The same thing happened when

we visited the Lincoln Memorial

a couple of years ago. In both instanc-es, nobody, and that’s not hyper-bole, stopped at either the Lincoln Memorial to glance up at Lincoln in all his magnificence or in Liberty Bell Center to actually pause before the bell and absorb its historical significance. For gosh sakes — you can get close enough to walk all the way around the bell and touch it. I was just too afraid to, fearing it would in some way be sacrilegious.

It’s no wonder the latest gen-eration of Millennials seem to have no appreciation of history. They don’t!

Quick! Take a selfie. Post it to Facebook. On to the next land-mark!

Now that I recall, this phenom-enon occurred about a decade ago when I visited the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. A most solemn tribute to the 1,102 Sailors and 1,177 Marines killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor demands the utmost respect from visitors. When a group of tourists started horsing around, I wanted to pound them each into their own early graves.

So, for the sake of my blood pressure, when you and yours next visit something of historical importance, help those around you appreciate the moment. They call them once-in-a-lifetime moments for a reason. Make ’em count.

Only a tourist could be this disrespectful

In honor of his entirely fictional pet squirrel, Doc is calling the annual golf tournament the Chip-per Invitational this year. He’s thinking of making that a perma-nent name for his invention, the most unusual golf tournament in history.

Oh, you remember how it began, when Doc decided to raise money each fall to buy winter coats for some of the local kids who can’t afford them? And one of the things this valley has never had is a golf course. But that didn’t slow Doc down. With the laughing consent of two farmers whose land abutted each other, Doc got busy. He took a shovel and some long sticks and laid out an 18-hole golf course in

less than two hours.

He’d dig a hole and put a long stick next to it. Then, he’d walk a while and do it again. He did this 18 times and the course was ready. On the day of the big tournament each fall, the farmers moved their cattle to a safe pasture away from the possibility of dead-ly golf balls, and the fun was on.

Doc charges ten bucks a head for the tournament, almost every able-bodied person in the valley plays, and the kids got winter

coats. Not a bad deal.So, this year, in honor of Chip-

per the non-existent pet squirrel, Doc laid out the course up by the forest. The hazards of this year’s course included an elk wallow, a rock face the size of a library and a thicket of manzanita that a mouse couldn’t penetrate.

Mrs. Doc and Anita got to-gether and made a clay statue of the mythical squirrel sitting up chewing a nut for use as a perpetual trophy for the winner. They put a little engraved brass plate on it that reads “Chipper Invitational Golf Tournament …dedicated to the nuts in the val-ley.”

We wonder, also, if Doc benefits any from the sale of golf balls down at the dry goods store.

There is a certain mys-tique surrounding federal air marshals.

Not much is known about these men and women who patrol the skies, relying on extensive training to keep the civil aviation system safe from attacks on airports, passengers and crews.

They work indepen-dently, travel extensively, possess impressive skills with handguns and, most importantly, blend in with the flying masses. That man sitting next to you in seat 4B, reading the in-flight magazine, could be one of them, but you’d never know.

Issaquah author Madison Doherty hopes questions about and intrigue sur-rounding the profession will entice readers to pick up her new book, “When The Sky Was Protected.”

The story follows sea-soned federal air marshal Grace Bryant as she enters the twilight of her career, transitioning from the skies to a desk job. After more than a decade of routine trips with little action, on Bryant’s very last flight, ter-rorists highjack the aircraft.

It’s then up to her to save the passengers, get back to land safely and figure out the enemy’s motive. The book is fiction, and Bryant isn’t real, but she is based on a Doherty friend who spent 20 years as an air marshal.

“I think we can only imagine the things she’s seen and done, and we’ll probably never know,” Doherty said.

Doherty describes the book as a political thriller, modeled after some of her favorite authors, including John Grisham and David Baldacci.

The difference is her book features a female protagonist, something Doherty said the genre lacks. That sentiment dates back to her grandmother, who always told her there was nothing a woman couldn’t do.

“It just makes sense that why can’t there be this badass federal agent su-perhero that’s a woman?” Doherty asked. “So what she’s a woman?”

Doherty graduated from Issaquah High School in

2006, and then majored in political science at the Uni-versity of Washington. She’s putting that degree to use, drawing from knowledge she gained in classes about Eastern European history.

One of the book’s con-flicts focuses on the very relevant tensions between Israel and Palestine, she said.

“The crazy thing about this book is I wrote it four years ago. I set it in 2008, but it’s more relevant today than it is when I wrote it,” she said.

People who enjoy political thrillers or politics will en-joy her book, Doherty said. Readers who want to see strong female characters will also find value in it.

Doherty, who still lives in the High Point neighborhood she grew up in, submitted the work to a few literary agents before deciding to go the ever more popular self-publishing route. Her work can be found on Amazon.com, where she’s already received several positive reviews.

Doherty released the first book in July, but she is by no means done with the Grace Bryant character. The Issaquah author has already finished a second book, and envisions pub-lishing up to six more in the series.

“In my mind, I have an arc for the character,” she said. “I know where she’s going to end up.”

Calling all zombies

By Dan Aznoffda@dajournalist.com

The same determina-tion Ron Musgrave learned as a U.S. Marine that led to a Bronze Star for his

actions in Vietnam are evident in the business he has nurtured for more than 45 years.

Musgrave was barely old enough to buy a drink in the States when his outfit was sent to Hill 689 in June 1967. The young Marine had been trained to fire a 3.5-inch bazooka as part of a weapons platoon.

The bazooka he carried was an updated version of the 2.5 bazooka used against German Panzers tanks during World War II. Musgrave was often ordered to use the anti-tank rocket launcher to flush enemy snipers out of the spider holes they had dug into the ground of the moist tropical jungle.

Spider holes, Mus-grave said, were trap doors above holes just big enough for an enemy soldier to hide. The doors opened just enough to allow a sniper to fire an automatic weapon before the door slammed shut.

“The North Vietnamese soldiers were smart fight-ers. They did not kill the first few soldiers assigned to lead search-and-destroy missions. They only shot them in the leg,” Musgrave recalled. “They knew that additional soldiers would be sent up to rescue the wounded soldiers. That’s when they would open up on the whole platoon.”

The tactic proved suc-cessful for the enemy in the steamy jungles of Vietnam. Musgrave said 30 of the 40 Americans on his patrol one day did not return, including the young lieutenant who had been in command.

A bazooka and wet pantsLying on the ground with

gunfire all around him, Musgrave said he could feel one of the enemy bul-lets as it glanced past his face and along the side of his body. Almost immedi-ately he felt the leg of his pants become wet and he screamed out for a medic.

“I’ve been hit,” he called out.

After Musgrave was pulled to safety, he real-ized the bullet only grazed his side, penetrating his canteen.

“It was only water,” he said, “so they sent me back to the front of my squad with my bazooka and wet pants.”

When he returned to his position, Musgrave found the soldier lying next to him had been shot in the head and killed.

“That would have been me if I had not been pulled away to the medic sta-tion,” he said.

Before he had time to settle back into his bunker, Musgrave was ordered to move up so he could determine the distance and trajectory he would need to knock out the spider hole. His first shot sailed over the enemy position and landed in a gulley beyond the target. His second shot took out the sniper.

Musgrave was firing phosphorescent shells. The enemy soldier came out of his hole engulfed in flames.

“He jumped out of that hole on fire like he had springs on his feet,” Musgrave remembered. “His arms were waving as he ran through the dense vegetation. He looked like a human torch.”

Musgrave’s tour of duty ended few months after the incident on Hill 689. He was reassigned to Beaufort, S.C., where he was awarded a Bronze Star with full military honors in front of the entire camp. The Akron, Ohio, native was originally nominated for a Silver Star, but Musgrave said the honor was changed to Bronze because he had not actually been injured during the battle.

“That was OK with me,” he said with a smile.

From fighting to cleaningAfter being discharged in

1968, Musgrave returned to Seattle, where he had lived with his father for several years before being drafted. (He began his en-listment with the Marines in January 1965 and was shipped out five months after completing his basic training at Camp Pendleton in California.)

The returning veteran had cleaned carpets for DA Burns in Seattle before being called to serve his country, so he made the decision to launch his own carpet-cleaning business from the backseat of his ’66 Mustang. His first cus-tomers were homeowners in the Normandy Park area near Burien.

In 1972, Musgrave said he purchased the first high-powered truck-mounted steam cleaning system in the Northwest. Four decades later, Revive Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners runs multiple trucks with crews that clean carpets, upholstery and air ducts for resi-dential and commercial clients in King County.

Musgrave laughs when he tries to count his nu-merous ties to the com-munity. The Revive office is in unincorporated King

County, has a Fall City telephone number and an Issaquah mailing address. He belongs to a network-ing organization that meets in Sammamish.

Many Revive employees have been with Musgrave for several years. His lon-gest tenured employee is his stepson, who has been cleaning carpets alongside the founder of the com-pany for 22 years.

Over the years, the fam-ily business moved to his first home, in Bellevue, and eventually to acre-age south of Interstate 90 near Preston. The garage attached to Musgrave’s office is filled with acces-sories for his carpet-clean-ing business. The walls of his workspace are covered with memorabilia of his time in the military.

“The Marines and my mother both taught me to do what needed to be done and to do it well the first time,” Musgrave said, add-ing that he is proud of the fact that more than 85 per-cent of his business comes from repeat customers.

joy and eventually she was able to leave the corporate world to focus on raising her children.

She spent most of her life in Issaquah, where she resided for more than 35 years. She actively vol-unteered in the Issaquah School District for more than 25 years, where all five of her children at-tended Issaquah Valley El-ementary, Issaquah Middle and Issaquah High schools. Pam had been a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Issaquah, since 1984, where she developed many close friendships, and considered her CPC family as a second family. For the past 10 years, she was an associate broker with RE/MAX Integrity in Issaquah, where she en-joyed helping friends and family buy and sell their homes.

Pam enjoyed music and loved to sing. She had the voice of an angel and participated in her church choir for many years. Her children were her life and the majority of her spare time was spent driving them to and from their many different sports and activities, cheering them on from the sidelines, organizing events as the PTA president or Team Mom, and encourag-ing them to follow their dreams.

She was preceded in death by her late husband Robert James Siems II in

1989, and her daughter Kyla Maree Siems in 1981.

Pam will be dearly missed by her husband of almost 25 years, Charles Ratcliffe; her daughters Kailee (and Tex) Blanken-ship and Kara (and Andy) Irvin; sons Justin Siems, Lyle Ratcliffe (and fiancé Julie Falsken) and Sean Ratcliffe; her beloved grandson Deklan Irvin; her parents Deane and Reita Cruze; her three brothers, Rande (and Celia) Cruze, Kerry (and Debrah) Cruze and Kevin (and Lora) Cruze; and her sister Laurie (and How-ard) Knott; along with nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, friends and many others who thought of Pam as their “second mom.”

A celebration of Pam’s life will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014 at 11 a.m. at Covenant Pres-byterian Church, 22116 S.E. 51st Place, Issaquah, WA 98029. All family and friends are invited to at-tend. Please sign the online guestbook at www.flintofts.com.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Pam’s name to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, 9272 Jeronimo Road, Suite 122, Irvine, CA 92618, or at www.pcrf-kids.org or Northwest Infant Survival & SIDS Alliance (NISSA), 4949 Sunnyside Ave. N., No. 350, Seattle, WA 98103 or at www.nwsids.org.

G. (Cruse) Ratcliffe, 61, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Je-sus Christ, on Sept. 3, 2014. She passed unexpectedly but peacefully into the Lord’s arms surrounded by her entire immediate family.

Pam’s Christian faith was an inspiration to many and she led her life by demonstrating the love of Jesus to every person she encountered. She had an infectious smile, a kind and loving heart, beauti-ful laugh and joyful spirit. She was a perfect earthly example of selfless, uncon-ditional love.

Pam was born Jan. 25, 1953, in Seattle, to Deane and Catherine (Reita) Cruze. She was the eldest of five children and grew up in Edmonds, where she graduated from Edmonds Senior High School in 1971.

If there were any doubts about the Skyline Spartans’ determination to start the 2014 season on the right foot, those concerns were shattered on the first play from scrimmage against the Issaquah Eagles.

Quarterback Blake Gregory threw a short pass to running back Rashaad Boddie, who shed a couple of tacklers and raced down the left sideline for an 81-yard touchdown.

Skyline had a 7-0 lead after only 19 seconds, and it set the tone for what turned into a dominating, 48-21 victory for the Spar-tans in a Class 4A KingCo Conference football opener Sept. 5 at Issaquah High School’s Gary Moore Field.

Gregory and Boddie, both juniors, led the way as Skyline won its 10th straight meeting with Is-saquah and earned the Coal Bucket rivalry trophy.

“Straight from the get-go, first play of the game, we opened up and we scored,” Gregory said. “We kept moving from there. Ev-eryone bought in at that point.”

Gregory, making his debut as the starting quarterback, completed 14 of 19 throws for 406 yards and four touchdowns, and also scored a rushing TD. Boddie looked every bit the feature back of the future for the Spartans, carrying 10 times for 65 yards and two TDs while catching five passes for 159 yards and two scores.

The result was all but cemented at halftime as Boddie found the end zone four times, and Skyline’s lead grew to 34-7.

“There was a lot of excitement in the locker

room,” Boddie said. “Then, we had to relax, focus up, go over what we did right, what we did wrong, and then get ready for the third and the fourth quarter.”

The Eagles — playing their first game under new coach Buddy Bland, who led the program from 2000-06 — had a strong initial response to Boddie’s first-play TD.

After Skyline kicker Kevin McGrane missed a 26-yard field goal, Is-saquah went on a 10-play, 80-yard march to tie the score in the first quarter.

Junior quarterback Cam Humphrey, also making his first start, dissected the Spartans with a series of short passes, and culmi-nated the drive with a 29-yard strike down the middle to Ashton Sorrento.

But it was all Skyline after that.

Skyline went ahead 14-7 as Boddie hauled in anoth-

er screen pass and dashed 58 yards down the right side. And after Issaquah came up inches short of a first down on a fake punt, the Spartans were back in the end zone three plays later on a 16-yard Boddie run, nosing their lead to

21-7 after one quarter.The Spartans’ defense

stiffened after that, with linebacker PJ Cox and de-fensive end Cameron Saffle leading the attack against Humphrey.

Humphrey finished the night 22-of-31 passing for

235 yards and two TDs, but wasn’t given time to throw the ball deep. And running back Mikey Gian-nopulos was held in check, managing 68 yards on 21 carries.

Skyline receiver Bradley Kim made a leaping catch for 22 yards to convert a fourth-and-11 situation for his team midway through the second period. That

allowed Boddie to plow through for a 1-yard TD on fourth-and-goal, putting Skyline up 28-7.

Derek Loville’s 49-yard reception set up a 2-yard keeper from Gregory for the final score of the first half.

Gregory was pleased with the play of his offen-sive line.

“The front, they’re the key part of this offense, and they did it all tonight,” he said. “Back there in the pocket, I had tons of time. It was awesome.”

Boddie appears to be fully healthy after a high ankle sprain slowed him last sea-son, and could be poised for a breakout season.

“I’ve just been through a lot of training with certain coaches and certain skill players, going out and catching balls for them,” he said of his preparation.

Each team found the end zone twice in the second half as Skyline’s Logan Wanamker and Elijah Nichols traded scores with Issaquah’s Bryce Hughes and Luke Watanabe.

The Eagles return to ac-tion Sept. 12 at top-ranked Bothell, while the Spartans make their home debut against Newport. Both games start at 7 p.m.

Kicking off the series at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 is the 1963 comedy “The Wheeler Dealers,” starring the late James Garner and Lee Remick. Garner plays a loveable Wall Street mil-lionaire who locks horns with astute and attractive stockbroker Lee Remick.

The series continues Oct. 11 with the showing of the 1949 drama, “Impact!” It stars Brian Donleavy and Ella Raines (who was born and grew up in Snoqualm-ie/North Bend area). This fast-moving and offbeat drama is about a wife who

tries to kill her husband but kills her lover instead, while her husband (pre-sumed dead) hides out and watches her trial.

Return Nov. 8 for “If A Man Answers,” a 1962 comedy staring Bobby Darin, Sandra Dee, Stepha-nie Powers and Caesar Romero. Dee, a perky cleanup woman, pretends to own her employer’s plush penthouse to impress boyfriend Darin.

Local woman elected to foundation board

Longtime Issaquah resident Marcia M. Mueller was recently elected to the Evergreen State College Foundation Board of Gov-ernors.

Mueller, who earned her Master of Environmental Studies from Evergreen, is retired from the Wash-ington State Department of Health, where she was

a program manager in the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.

While public funds main-tain the college, the foun-dation promotes excellence in education by raising private funds to provide donor-funded scholar-ships, fellowships, program endowments and other opportunities that enrich the Evergreen experience. Mueller will serve a three-year term on the board.

Dental group helps generate smiles

Issaquah Highlands Dental Group participated in Smile Generation Serve Day on Aug. 23.

The annual event brings together Pacific Dental Services-supported dentists and team member volun-

teers, and provides dental care to patients in need.

Seven patients were seen at the Issaquah Highlands office, receiving more than $12,500 worth of dental care.

One single mother had not had a cleaning in more than 10 years. The team completed scaling and root planing on her — a pro-cedure that typically costs about $1,200.

“She was very emotion-al,” Manager Ashley Deitch said in a news release. “It was her birthday the fol-lowing week, and she said this was the best birthday present that she had ever given herself.”

The woman was so pleased that she plans to bring her daughter back for a cleaning.

Last year, 240 Smile

Generation-trusted offices helped 1,600 patients ob-tain dental care by donat-ing more than $2.4 million in dentistry.

Girl Scouts live up to motto at camp

More than 400 local Girl Scouts attending Girl Scout Sammamish Day Camp completed five community service projects during a weeklong camp Aug. 4-8 at Beaver Lake Park.

The girls crafted interac-tive twig toys and treats for Cougar Mountain Zoo’s emus and wallabies, cre-ated back-to-school kits to give to children through Eastside Baby Corner, cre-ated animal toy and treat bags for a local animal rescue, knotted patterned fleece blankets for kids

in need and handcrafted friendship bracelets for the Girl Scout World Center Sangam in Pune, India.

Girl Scout Sammamish Day Camp has been a tradition for the past eight years and is open to any girl in the Issaquah/Sam-mamish area.

“Every summer, we offer a weeklong Girl Scout day camp that has a diverse range of themes and activi-ties,” said Helen Christian, a day camp core team member. “Our day camp gives girls, kindergarten through high school, time to lead, explore and learn things they do not do the rest of the year. Everybody makes new friends to last a lifetime.”

Teens will wear T-shirts to support suicide prevention

Teenagers in Issaquah and Sammamish will wear spe-cial T-shirts to school Sept. 10 as part of National Suicide Prevention Day efforts.

Nick Pringle, a youth pas-tor at Pine Lake Covenant Church, is spearheading local awareness efforts. He said the last two years have been the hardest of his eight-year ministry career, with many area teens com-mitting suicide.

Five teens in Issaquah, Sammamish and Sno-qualmie took their own lives during the past school year. And 2013 was con-sidered the most violent year for teen suicides in King County in the past five years, with the number ris-ing from three to 11.

Students attending youth groups at five area church-es will wear white-and-yel-low shirts with the phrase “You Matter” emblazoned on the front. The par-ticipating groups are Faith United Methodist Church in Issaquah, and four Sam-mamish churches – Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Pine Lake Cov-enant Church, Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church and Sammamish Presbyterian Church.

Amy Wisegarver, a student at Eastlake High School, produced a video about the “You Matter” campaign. See it at http://youtu.be/6e0tvyB3FRs.

If you or someone you know needs help, call the King County Crisis Clinic at 1-866-427-4747 toll free; the Trevor Project for LGBTQ help at 1-866-488-7386 toll free; or if you’re a teen and would prefer to talk with a peer, call Teen Link at 1-866-833-6546, toll free, from 6-10 p.m. daily.
