Bill 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 Is-saquah, 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. � e motor home was stripped and le� 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. Con-cretions originate in so� sediment such as sands, so� sandstone, clays and shales. � ey are hardened areas, usually of a di� erent color inside another rock.

� e size of concretions appear to be deter-mined by the permeability of the host rock.

Sullivan came across them when he was � rst homeless and camping in the woods near the Snoqualmie River.

“� ings were a lot more unpopulated,” he said. “Branching o� there, I’d � nd 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 a� er unsuccess-fully trying to paint some of the concretions he found. Using di� erent grits of sandpaper and hours of devotion, he found he could create a work of art in unison with Mother Nature. He has trained his eye to see the shapes, and then polish and re� ne them.

“� ey kind of bring out them-selves,” he said.

For the most part, they look like

animals, although one he found and pol-ished, 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 o� for char-ity.

“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.

Skyline High School’s play, “�e Cru-cible” will start running next week featur-ing many talented students in challenging roles.

�e 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 Vander-weide, a Skyline sophomore, plays Mary Warren. �ey have surprisingly never acted together before, having always been at dif-ferent schools.

�e Vanderweide siblings moved to Sam-mmamish 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.

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.”

�e 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 pro-gram 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 wonder-ful being an English teacher because of the wonderful literature we get to explore.”

Fry also admits that the most challenging

aspect has been the theatre’s transition to heavy drama.

“Skyline has grown incredibly accus-tomed 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 touch-ing,” 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.

“�e most rewarding part of the process is seeing the students grow and discover their parts,” she said. “�ey feel a sense of ownership over these characters that is truly inspiring.”

Although the Vanderweides and Rosen-baum love performing, they don’t necessar-ily 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 act-ing 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.” “�e 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 �eatre inside Skyline High School. General admission is $8. Skyline High School sta� and students pay $4.

For Eastside Catholic School for advancing to the Class 3A state football title game at 7:30 p.m. today at the Tacoma Dome. � e Crusaders overpowered

rival O’Dea 28-14 last week to make its second straight ap-pearance in the championship game.

For the community organizations and businesses that are collecting food and gi� s for our less fortu-nate neighbors during the holidays. It’s easy to for-

get that not everyone can head to the malls this time of the year. Many head to the food bank instead. � ere are stories and roundups in today’s issue about some of these e� orts. 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 (for-merly the Suburban Cities Association). � e des-

ignation is the highest honor that can be given to an SCA member. Frisinger is stepping down this year as mayor. � e honor is another indication of how the city and region has bene� ted from Frisinger’s leadership.

For a talented number of local individuals who re-ceived 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 Cham-ber of Commerce for being one of the award presenters.

For the city of Sammamish for � nding 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.

OF NOTE

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 a� ordable housing that we hear so much about. Why does the cycle of people, families, and children who are classi� ed 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.

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 Washing-ton had they accepted it.

One of the more reasons sited for rejecting the Boeing proposals is the belief that they hold unique skills re-quired to build this type of airplane. � at simply is not the case. Let us remember that Southern California, Texas, Georgia and Missouri all have aircra� manufacturing plants.

And Boeing owns the old McDon-ald 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. � ey ignore the fact that Airbus already has a plant in Alabama. � at 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 mar-ket and there are others willing and capable of doing the same jobs for less money. And there are state and

local governments willing to provide incentives to Boeing in order to cre-ate more jobs in there area.

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.

� ere 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 com-munity truly recognizes their service.

� e Wreaths Across America cer-emony will be at 10 a.m. on Dec. 14. at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, 1215 145th Place S.E. in Bellevue.

� e Issaquah Creek project, which in-cluded replacing the dam upstream of the hatchery, is not quite � nished yet.

� e dam has been removed, replaced by a series of natural � sh ladders made of a series of rock weirs, but the upper intake has been a battle with Mother Nature.

“We’ve had to � ght the elements every time it rained hard,” said Tim Ward with the State Department of Fish and Wildlife. He is the project’s coordinator.

� e old intake, dating back to the 1930s, brought water to the hatchery through a pipe. However, that created a � sh barrier Ward said. � e 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.

Ward said it’s not easy trying to make na-ture and engineering come together. He said they hope to have the “in water” work done Friday, Dec. 6.

� en, all that is le� to do is clean up, � nish some utility pipe connections and some con-crete shoulder work. � at should all be done at the end of the month.

Ward said the crew has pulled all of the obstructions out and water is � owing freely. Now the hatchery can adjust how many � sh go up at a time accordingly.

“� e weirs look beautiful, and we’ve seen � sh going up,” he said.

� e entire project was originally slated to be completed Sept. 15. � e cost of the project was $4 million, approved by the Legislature earlier this year.

ISSAQUAH CREEK DAM PROJECTALMOST COMPLETE 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 di� erent test-ing 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. Un-like the real tests, the results are given directly to the student and not sent out to colleges.

A� er tests are scored, students are in-vited 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 adminis-ter the tests. � e sessions help students interpret their score report, understand what the scores mean and learn strategies for improving scores on the real tests.

� e ACT fear-free test will be from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Saturday Jan. 11. � e 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. � e 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 [email protected].

The ACT will be o� ered from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Jan. 11. The SAT will be o� ered from 9 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Feb. 8.

“He was talking about how he was in� u-enced by monks in the beginning,” Sullivan said. “When he was � rst 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.

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

which shook the ground. � e next morning he saw that an 80-foot

tree had crashed to the ground no more than 15-feet from his tent.

“� ere 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 con-cretions are for sale for as low as $20 for a single polished stone, up to $500 for more elaborate � gurines.

Contact Sullivan at [email protected] to see his work up close.

�e 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 cur-rently 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.

�e Beaver Lake Middle School chorus, comprised of boys and girls ages 11 to 13, will be singing a collection of songs, includ-ing “Carol of the Kings,” “Believe” from the �lm “Polar Express” and Barbara Strei-sand’s version of “Jingle Bells.”

December 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. �is program began at QFC in 2002 and bene�ts two outstanding non-pro�t 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 di�erence!” 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.

�e 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 a�er the holidays, so the surplus donations collected now will help �ll 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. �ey help pay operating expenses to keep the freezers running and the trucks on the road.

�ere 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. �ere 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. �ank you for supporting QFC, Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank to help feed the hungry during the holiday season and beyond.

Ferguson has full plate in � rst year as AGBY BRANDON [email protected]

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says his o� ce 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 con� dent critical issues are being addressed.

In an editorial discussion with Reporter sta� Tuesday, Ferguson touted his selection of Nancy Krier as the open government ombuds-man for his o� ce and being able to bring that position back to full-time status. � e attorney general said he is also proposing a bill to provide locally elected o� cials with an online training resource for navigat-ing open records requests within the law.

While some cities like Kirkland are backing budgets that make government accessibility a � rst-tier service, others are being challenged by what they consider to be burden-some requests for public informa-tion.

“� ere will be some cost to that and some inconvenience,” he said of following open government laws, “and that’s a fact.”

� e attorney general’s lawsuit against the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association over campaign � nance 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-

paign against I-522 in Washington, which would have required labeling on some genetically modi� ed food products. He added it is the largest amount of concealed money ever donated to a campaign in the state.

� e GMA has since provided the names of its backers and their share of contributions, but continues to deny any wrongdoing, said Fergu-son, adding he has read an associa-tion letter to its contributors that promised to conceal their identities.

“� ey were very thoughtful and deliberate in concealing the names of those donors,” he said, adding his o� ce is seeking more options than just monetary penalties against the GMA. “Even a signi� cant (mon-etary) penalty on their end may be interpreted as the cost of doing

business.”� e 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 mari-juana 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. � e 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 o� ce 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 e� ort with the federal government to keep it from intervening with state law.

Ferguson said his o� ce also is focusing on improving protections for veterans and matching state pro-tections for those deployed by order of the governor with federal protec-tions a� orded to those deployed by the president.

A new and expanded holiday celebra-tion will burst out of City Hall and � ll the nearby plaza with light, food and fun from 6 to 9 p.m. on Dec 6. Entitled “Very Merry Sammamish,” the newly con� gured 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

di� erent things to see and activities to do.”Attendees will get a chance to vote for

their favorite lighted vehicle. � e 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. � e 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 � e Not-Its, 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.

“� e traditional tree lighting ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. inside City Hall,” Bon said. “But with all the stu� 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 o� er.”

THUNDERING ANGELS HELP OUT


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

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, Ste-vens 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.”

Holiday Dining

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 neglec-ted 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 table-cloth in place.

A tablecloth should never reach the fl oor, 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 fl oral 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 gol-den brown or silvery grey toned table-cloth. One thing goes without saying: the tablecloth should be of good quality, made of fi ne cotton or linen.

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.

Dressing up your table 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 specifi c reason to raise our glasses; an informal toast can be offered simply to launch the eve-ning’s fi rst 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 short history of toastingToasting dates back to the Middle Ages when poisoning the enemy was par for the course. Banging overfl owing glasses to gether 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 hel ped to assess their reac-tion and judge their true intentions.

Let’s hope that this Christmas brings friendlier terms to your toasting! On that note, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and cheers to one and all.

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: fi n ding the perfect hostess gift.

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 com fortable loungewear.

If your host and hostess are real epicureans, you could always give them an edible gift. Locally produced pro-ducts 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.

Need some hostess gift ideas?

It’s not always easy to fi nd an original 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 fi nd 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!

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 sha ped like bacon strips

• For moms, sisters, and girlfriends who love cam ping or travelling, a pee-tube for women

• For well-behaved but fun-loving tee-

nagers, fake body jewellery• For the food-loving handyman, a pizza

cutter shaped like a circular saw• For a playful girlfriend, an illuminated

bra• For a cheese lover, a cheese plate and

knife in the form of a mousetrap• For a social media fan, a Facebook-

page shower curtain • For a cat with character, a lion suit• For the incorrigible smoker, a lighter in

the shape of a gun

Fun gifts

Bellevue and Eastside Catholic meet Friday for the 3A state championship in a rematch of last year’s title game.

� e Reporter looks at a few of the numbers that will loom large in the Tacoma Dome.

0� e number of points the Wolverines allowed to Shadle

Park, which entered last week’s semi-� nals scoring more than 40 points per game, in a 66-0 win.

Only one team, Peninsula, scored more than 14 points against Bellevue this season.

1 In his � rst year as the full-time starter, Eastside Catholic

sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch has thrown only a single interception.

� at came in the waning minutes of last week’s semi-� nal win over rival O’Dea, and only a� er 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 playo� s. � e Crusaders lost 27-21 to Sammamish neighbor East-

lake, a 4A quarter� nal 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 playo� s.

� e 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, Bel-levue won by a combined score of 101-20.

36.4Eastside 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 playo� wins over Meadowdale (21-16) and O’Dea (28-14).

7.6Something has to give when the Crusaders have the ball,

with the Bellevue defense allowing fewer than eight points per game on the year. � e Wolverines own three shutouts on the year and two in the past four games.

Eastside Catholic’s defense swarmed the Irish throughout last week’s win and will need a similar e� ort against Bellevue tonight. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

BY JOSH [email protected]

� e past two seasons have been among the best in the history of Eastside Catholic football.

Head coach Jeremy � ielbahr ended his � rst season as head coach with a trip to the state playo� s, and followed that with the school’s � rst ever state championship game appearance last year.

� e two also share one other commonality: season-ending 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 � ve 3A state titles.

“� ey’re very well-coached and all of them are on the same page,” � ielbahr 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 charac-ters 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 Con-ners leading the Bellevue defense.

� ielbahr 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 di� erent 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 e� ort.

Now a senior, Baker terrorized EC in last year’s game with a punt return touchdown to break open the scor-ing, another score later in the game on the ground and an

interception on defense. A host of playmakers alongside Baker make slowing the

Wolverines a di� cult task, while their defense has su� o-cated opponents all year and last week held record-setting Shadle Park quarterback Brett Rypien and the Highlanders scoreless.

“We’ve got to read coverages and see what’s happening,” � ielbahr said. “We’ve got to hold onto the ball, take care of it and take it away from them.”

Slowing the Bellevue o� ense has proven a near-impossi-ble task for not only 2013 opponents, but nearly everyone they have faced since their current winning streak began in 2010. � at makes preparation unique for the Crusaders, who have looked far and wide for game � lm of teams who were able to slow the Wolverines’ vaunted system in the

past. “It’s pretty funny, we’ve watched a lot of di� erent games,”

he said, noting the caliber of quarterbacks who have led their teams to wins over Bellevue.

� at group includes Kellen Moore, a Prosser product who posted a 50-3 record in four years as the starter at Boise State, uno� cially 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.

“� ey 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 percent-age just shy of 70, 34 touchdowns and only one intercep-tion. In the face of a � erce pass rush last week, he continu-ally got o� on-target throws and accurately diagnosed coverages, completing 19 of 30 passes for 294 yards and three scores.

“� ey 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 � rst 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,” � ielbahr said. “Everyone is trying to knock them o� and for us to be the ones would be a great experience.”

Issaquah’s Reese makes Hall of Fame, local preps sign letters of intent

Issaquah head baseball coach Rob Reese picked up an honor during the o� season 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-� nals and 13 state tournament appearances in his 20 seasons.

Countless numbers of his players have continued to the collegiate ranks and even professional baseball. � at 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 � nished 20-3 and with a KingCo title and state tournament trip in his � rst year in 1994. He has compiled six 20-win seasons against only four with double-digit losses. Only once, in 2011, did the Eagles � n-ish the year with a sub-.500 record during Reese’s tenure.

Two sign with Washington State baseball 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 out� elder who also possesses that speed tool that you can’t teach,” Waer said in a press release.

Lunde, the sta� ace for last year’s KingCo champs at Sky-line, struck out 41 in 32 innings and one-third and posted a sub-2.00 ERA on the year.

MacIlvennie headed to MarylandEastside 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 pro-gram that is one of the most successful in the nation with 11 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

� e mid� elder led his team in goals with 44 last season and also posted 29 assists in leading his team to the Divi-sion I state semi-� nals.

Skyline’s Spencer Noonan signed with Fair� eld Univer-sity 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 commitA pair of Sammamish preps committed for their col-

legiate 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 Univer-sity of Redlands, a Division III school. EC made the state tournament last year in girls lacrosse with Archey contrib-uting 12 ground balls and causing nine turnovers.

Business News Briefs

Press release contact: Craig Groshart • [email protected] • 425-453-4233

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.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.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.

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.Actionable: Include a contact name with telephone number and an e-mail address.

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.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.

Fire� ghters with Eastside Fire and Rescue will begin training on an abandoned house donated by the city of Sam-mamish. � e house is located behind the Sammamish library.

Fire� ghters 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. � e public may see an increase in � re department equipment and personnel mov-ing through the area. As EFR begins to burn the structure, the public may also notice smoke. � e � nal training objec-tives are planned for January 2014 when the drill will be completed and the structure fully burned.

Since it is o� en di� cult to � nd realistic training oppor-tunities, the structure will providing practical, hands-on training over several months, � re o� cials say. � e EFR training division will coordinate a succession of drills that include Rapid Intervention Crews, Compressed Air Foam and multi-company operations.

Fire o� cials add that although the decrease in � res and � re deaths today is a testament to the progress made over the years in � re prevention and public education, � re� ght-ers still need hands-on training to learn proper � re� ghting techniques to keep themselves as safe as possible.

Fire� ghters begin training on a Sammamish structure

Fire� ghters 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.”PHOTOS COURTESY OF EASTSIDE FIRE AND RESCUE.
