BY ALLISON DEANGELISBELLEVUE REPORTER

Construction crews installed the last major section of the 520 bridge on Monday, Aug. 24, one of 776 precast, interlocking roadway deck sections that will comprise the new 7,710-foot-long bridge, making it the longest � oating highway in the world.

Using a barge-mounted crane, crews lowered a 7.5 foot wide, 50 to 60 ton section of roadway into place, marking the end of what Greg Meadows, deputy construction manager for the Floating Bridge and Landings Project, called the last of the big tasks for the project. While the

existing Evergreen Point Float-ing Bridge (commonly known as the 520 Bridge) has been the longest � oating highway for the last 52 years, this new bridge will surpass it by 132 feet.

“� is is one of the key mile-stones of the � oating bridge proj-ect,” he said. “Over the next few months, we’ll be pouring concrete for the road deck, doing electrical work– the smaller tasks that are part of getting this project done.”

When it opens, the new 520 � oating bridge will be composed of four general purpose lanes, two HOV lanes, a 14-foot-wide bicycle and pedestrian path, and a shoulder for disabled vehicles. Designed to be able to withstand wind speeds up to 89 miles per hour and resting 20 feet above the water level, it won’t be slave to closures due to high winds and waves like the existing 520

bridge.“� e lower height of the other

bridge is more of a typical design, but it would get shut down because of waves and it makes maintenance more di� cult because you have to shut down tra� c to do work,” said Denise Cieri, Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation deputy administrator for the SR 520

No rest for firefighters


�e Bellevue Fire Department an-nounced on Aug. 20 that they have sent

additional city �re�ghters to battle the rag-ing �res out in northern and northeastern Washington.

According to Bellevue Fire spokesperson

SEE FIREFIGHTERS, 3

Lt. Richard Burke, the department currently has eight � re� ghters deployed across the state.

On Aug 20, Bellevue Fire received a request for a four-person engine company to support a growing need for structure protection in Okanogan County. � e commu-nication experts will help maintain and expand a critical communication system being utilized to manage this large, fast-moving � re. � e � re� ghter-paramedics will provide care for both injured � re crews as well as community mem-bers caught up in this devastating � re, the department said in a news release.

� e department had already sent several � re� ghters to � ght � res in Northeastern Washington.

On Aug. 17, the department dispatched both a commu-nications teams and a crew of � re� ghter-paramedics to the “stickpin” � re in Ferry County.

“Bellevue Fire has consistently deployed crews and equipment to meet the requests being generated through the state O� ce of Emergency Management. � e state will manage costs and reimbursements for these deployments as well. We ask that residents be very cautious around our own community in this “extremely high” � re danger sea-

son,” the department said in a news release. “� ese members’ deployments do not impact our daily

sta� ng other than we back � ll with overtime members to � ll in those deployed members shi� s. We are down to just a few backup � re engines so equipment-wise we are getting ‘thin,’ Burke said. “If there are additional requests we will need to evaluate whether we can send both sta� and equip-ment or just sta� .”

PROJECT LEARN From 3 - 6 PM, four days a weeks and from 12:30 - 6 PM EVERY Wednesday in Bellevue, hundreds of youngsters pour into one of twelve Boys & Girls Clubhouses located throughout Bellevue. They spend time in a safe environment with positive role models who lead them in self-esteem building activities. A portion of their time is focused on helping them get their homework done. Some just need the time so that they can have more meaningful family experiences in the evening. Many others simply face challenges that are not being met at home or in school. We work hand-in-hand with the School District to identify those youngsters who need extra help. We also want to make sure we can complement what the students are learning in school. In many cases, we offer fun and hands-on experiences that will lead to a more positive outlook toward school and thereby improve their academic performance. Targeting our members from 2 ½ - 12, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue selected an education curriculum developed by Columbia University for Boys & Girls Clubs of America, known as Project Learn. Go to bgcbellevue.org to learn more about Project Learn AND our drop-out prevention program for teens known as BE GREAT; Graduate!

Project Outcomes/Objectives:1. Improve school performance and reduce truancy.2. Prevent and/or reduce juvenile crime and violence. 3. Build healthy, trusting relationships between youth and adults.4. Improve safety and security of youth by encouraging and supporting trusting relationships between youth and law enforcement.5. Prevent and/or reduce risk taking behaviors.6. Increase opportunities for youth to perform community service through leadership clubs. 7. Involve parents/families in their child’s progress, strengthening family/child involvement.8. Ensure inclusion and appropriately respond to the multiple cultures represented.9. Fill the technology skill gap between the “haves” and the “have-nots” with “state-of-the-art” computer centers.10.Provide recreational activities including field trips, special events, arts & crafts, drama club, SMART Girls, etc.

to help your loved one. But what if there was someone who could really help relieve that stress? Someone who could

provide help for the whole family? Your loved one can still find meaning and contentment in each new day, and you can still

enjoy every moment you have with them. We can help. Call us today for more information or to schedule a private tour.

And, in some ways, an even stronger one to ask for help.

It takes a strong person to care for someone

Justin Duchin, M.D. said at a press conference on August 26.

As a result of the prob-lems with sterilization, patients who had a surgical procedure at the Bel-levue Clinic may need to be tested for hepititus B and C, as well as HIV, the hospital said in a statement.

“�e risk to patients is extremely low; however, we don’t know the exact

risk to each patient. We are contacting patients and o�ering a free blood test to those who we think may have been a�ected,” said hospital spokesperson Stacey DiNuzzo.

It has been reported that 12,000 children and their families are being noti�ed. O�cials said that letters are expected to go into the mail on Monday, Aug. 31.

“Our patients’ safety is our top priority and we are very sorry that this hap-pened,” said DiNuzzo. “We are investigating exactly how this failure occurred

and expect the investigation to be complete this week.”

Sta� reportedly noticed “debris” in packaged instru-ments taken o� of a shelf in the clinic, prompting the investigation. Initial �ndings have shown that the steam sterilization step, which is the last step in the process, was working properly.

In the meantime, af-fected equipment has been reprocessed, cleaning and sterilization processes have been veri�ed, and the hos-pital has implemented extra auditing procedures.

Helen Wang had reached the end of her rope.

Wang, the mother of a Cherry Crest student and a Bellevue Academy student, quickly grew frustrated while trying to � nd sum-mer programs for her chil-dren. � e process usually entails searching through hundreds of web pages to � nd the right enrichment program for each child, she said.

Together with her hus-band, two developers and two part-time marketing employees, Wang created 6crickets, a website that helps parents discover and schedule summer and, more recently, a� er-school programs for their children.

“� at’s the beauty of technology– it can really help parents,” said Wang.

Since going live in March with summer camp o� er-ings, the website has had more than 10,800 unique visitors, formed partner-ships with 50 providers and logged more than 3400 camps in their online system.

� e summer camps were open across Bellevue, Seattle, Lynnwood, Shore-wood, Redmond, Mercer

Island and other areas. With the initial success

of the summer o� erings, Wang began working on creating a system in which parents can vote for the in-school and outside of school extracurricular activities hosted by their school. She is still in discus-sion with schools to imple-ment this system.

“� is is something schools can use to leverage the collective wisdom of parents,” she said. “� ere are schools that were involving parents in the process, but so far, it’s been in an ad hoc manner. � is is just more information for the people who make the decisions.”

� e website will also help parents schedule and book a� er school activities, a process which Wang said

can sometimes be more challenging than � nding the programs. “Even for well-known programs, the problem o� en isn’t discov-ery, but scheduling,” she said.

� ere is no fee for parents or administrators to use the website– the only cost is a small fee levied on program providers when the site helps them � ll empty seats in their programs.

Wang has started record-ing and posting � ve minute long video interviews with some providers in which she asks them about their background, curriculum and instruction style. � e 6crickets team is also cur-rently working on imple-menting a review system and a system in which parents can nominate programs.

Local mom creates website for summer, after-school programs


� e Washington Tech-nology Industry Associa-tion (WTIA) announced on Tuesday, Aug. 25 that it is teaming up with insur-ance provider Premera to create a new healthcare plan speci� cally designed for the needs and desires of technology industry employees. “We consider it our job to support the tech industry and are proud to be the � rst to provide an innova-tive healthcare o� ering in our state that’s robust enough to meet the actual needs of tech employees,” said Michael Schutzler, CEO of the WTIA. “� e WTIA’s new healthcare o� ering is a game-changer for local tech employers and will be a powerful tool for them to invest in their people and competitively recruit for highly sought a� er talent.”

� e WTIA serves 8,500 technology companies and 250,000 tech profession-als in the state – includ-ing many large national companies – although 95 percent of their company members have 100 em-ployees or less.

� rough the partner-ship, the WTIA will introduce their employer members to the new o� er-

ings with a focus on tech tools, time limitation and attention through a phased approached over the next year or two.

While there are hun-dreds of potential health insurance plans to choose from, the WTIA found many healthcare needs and desires unmet during a survey of Washington tech employers, including the ability to consult with a doctor online, the integra-tion of wearable technolo-gies and access to pricing and service provider databases.

Overall, the partnership is aimed to make technol-ogy companies more com-petitive in the job market, as health insurance is one of the costliest but most important aspects of build-ing a strong workforce.

“� e central issue that workplaces face, and why we exist, is the lack of quali� ed workforce talent,” said Mike Monroe, the acting executive director of WTIA health insurance trust and COO of WTIA. Bene� ts packages rank high among the decision-making factors for job seekers.

� at is problematic for small companies when combined with growing healthcare costs.

“A� er salary and eq-uity based compensation, health insurance is third

biggest cost for employ-ers,” said Monroe. “Last year many of our member companies dealt with 40 percent increases in health-care costs, paired with a reduction in bene� ts.”

� e exact cost of the WTIA’s new health plan o� erings has not been de-termined at this time, but Monroe said the cost will either be a decrease from employers’ existing plans or normalize to a sustain-able long term growth curve.

Despite the recent data breach at Premera, Monroe said the WTIA is con� dent that their clients’ informa-tion will be protected and that Premera is the best partner in this endeavor.

“Premera really un-derstands this economy and where it’s going, and impact of technology to our community,” he said. “We actually did a walk-through to see how information would � ow through our system and be encrypted and sent to Premera’s systems, and Premera was really lead-ing the class in doing that compared to other care institutions.”

in the spring, the three westbound lanes will

narrow down to two lanes upon reaching Seattle.

With the additional funding from the Legisla-ture, however, crews will continue on construc-tion throughout 2017 to �rst expand the Seattle approach to three lanes until Montlake Boulevard, and then the corridor leading ending at I-5. �e same will happen with the eastbound lanes heading towards Bellevue.

“Right now, it really is a very tight, urban area over by Montlake Boule-vard,” said Cieri. “�is will de�nitely help alleviate some of that, for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.”

�e last phase of con-struction will yield a new Portage Bay Bridge, Mont-lake interchange, better shoulders and sidewalks, and paths for cyclists that will allow riders to make a 23-mile loop from Bellev-ue, across the 520 Bridge,

through Seattle and back over the I-90 Bridge.

Although the recent $1.65 billion in funding did not come from bond sales and will therefore not need to be repaid, a por-tion of the project’s rev-enue (around $1 billion) does come from tolling on the existing and new 520 bridge. Over the last four years, the Transportation Commission has increased the toll 2.5 percent annu-ally.

A�er the bridge opens, however, there will be a more signi�cant toll increase in 2016. If the volume of cars stays consistent with the current amount, the hope is that the tolls would no long increase annually a�er next year, according to a spokesperson.

�e new bridge has an expected lifespan of 75 years, compared to the current bridge’s surpassed lifespan of 50 years.

A�er the new 520 �oating bridge opens, crews will deconstruct the original Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, breaking down and sell-ing the concrete pon-toons that make up the base to likely be used for projects like breakwaters and �oating piers all over the world.

�e Washington State De-partment of Transportation (WSDOT) has announced it will begin tolling the two high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV) lanes on Interstate 405 from Bellevue to Lyn-nwood starting Sept. 27.

�e express toll lanes run for 17 miles, from where it meets I-5 in Lynwood to Northeast 6th Street in Bellevue. �e toll rates were set by the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) earlier this year.

At a press conference on Aug. 21 in Bothell, Tolling Division Assistant Secretary Craig Stone said the tolling represents 15 years of work-ing with the community and the public to address grow-ing tra�c congestion on the Eastside. Stone and other WSDOT o�cials believe the toll lanes will help ease congestion and give drivers in the HOB lanes a more reliable trip.

WSDOT Secretary Lynn A. Peterson added that the lanes will also give drivers the option of taking a faster

route, something which wasn’t available before. She said they expect there to still be congestion during peak hours, but that it will not happen as easily as it does now.

Peterson stated that it will take six months to a year for tra�c levels to fully settle down, and they will be working closely with the cities on a daily basis to determine how the tra�c impacts their major arteri-als. He also said that they will be adding an additional lane and that rather than cause spillover, the tolling will ease congestion in those lanes and draw commuters o� city streets.

WSDOT o�cials have cited similar express lanes in other parts of the country, such as Miami, as evidence that tolling can relieve congestion and improve highway speeds.

Toll rates for the HOV lanes will be updated every �ve minutes based on the average speed of each lane. �e toll minimum is 75 cents and the maximum is $10, though according to Stone, 90 percent of tolls will be less than $4. �e toll is set so that the vehicles to be traveling at 45 miles per hour 90 percent of the time as per state and federal requirements. Currently, vehicles are only traveling that speed 60 percent of the

time, according to Stone.One of the most contro-

versial aspects of WSTC’s decision for tolling con-cerned carpool restrictions. Between 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. on weekdays, cars with three or more persons will not have to pay, whereas before it was only two persons per vehicle to drive in the HOV lane. During other times of the weekdays and all times during the weekend, carpools will still only require two people.

Opponents of the restric-tion claim that they will be unable to �nd a third person for their carpool and that the policy will drive more cars into the regular lanes, making congestion even worse.

Peterson said that car-pools with less than three people can still use the lane, but they will need to pay. Critics have said that it will take away any �nancial reasons to carpool in the �rst place.

Drivers will need a Flex Pass and carpools will also have to get a transponder to place in the vehicle. So far, Stone said, they have distributed 50,000 passes, but they are looking for that number to grow in the com-ing weeks. Drivers can buy one for $15 at GoodToGo.com, by calling 1-866-936-8246.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Throughout the duration of a Friday afternoon football practice, Eastside Bulldogs quarterback Trevor Lyon donned a red jersey which meant defen-sive players were not permitted to hit or tackle the signal caller.

But, Eastside Bulldogs head coach Kevin Bouwman said Lyon isn’t the kind of player who shies away from contact.

“Trevor has a great pocket presence and he’s athletic as all get out. He can run. He has no problem getting down-field and the thing is he loves to hit too,” Bouwman said with a smile. “My quarterbacks go nuts because we always blow the whistle on them and have them in red jerseys. They say, ‘We’ll take the hit.’ We need those guys ready for the game so that is why there is no contact for them at practice.”

Bouwman said Lyons is battling Braden Bouwman-Hess for the starting quarterback job during August practice sessions.

“It’s neck and neck right now. They are splitting all the snaps (offensive plays) with the No. 1 offense. It is a battle,” he said.

Regardless of who is named the start-ing signal caller, Bouwman said both

players will see plenty of the field once their season begins this Saturday night against Everett in the season opener at Renton Memorial Stadium.

“They (Lyon, Bouwman-Hess) are two of the best athletes on the whole team. We’ve actually tried them at different positions too to make sure they will have an opportunity to get on the field. They can both play receiver and can both play defense if we need them to,” Bouwman said.

Lyon, who graduated from Interlake High School in 2013, was a dual threat quarterback during his high school days. He could throw the ball 50-60 yards down the field and could utilize his legs to gain yards on the ground.

“I love to throw the ball and throw the ball deep but I love running too. I like to lead by example. I’m not really a rah-rah type of leader. I just do what needs to be done to get my team going,” Lyon said.

Lyon said the theme of early season practices has been competition.

“Kevin is a great coach. He is really enthusiastic and gets our team going. We have a lot of great coaches on this team,” he said. “It is a blessing for sure. Our goal is to win the championship and go undefeated.”

parties involved in the al-legations, according to the WIAA. �e WIAA cannot initiate an investigation itself.

“�e WIAA takes these allegations seriously and will conduct a thorough fact �nding report accord-ing to WIAA membership protocols,” the organization said in a statement.

�e Bellevue School District and the Academic Institute released separate statements this week clarify-ing, and in some cases refut-ing, claims made in a recent Seattle Times article that labeled the latter a “diploma mill” for Bellevue High School football players.

According to a statement issued by the Academic In-stitute on Monday, Aug. 24, the Times’ article contained several incorrect statements, creating doubt about the school’s credentials and rep-utation, according to school director Jennifer Vice.

“Contrary to what was reported, athletes are a very small percentage of the students we serve, and they

receive no special privileges,” she said.

�e small school went on to dispute statements made in the article that the institution was a “diploma mill” for Bellevue High School football players, that �nancial aid could be coor-dinated by persons outside of the Academic Institute, that parents or volunteers could alter students’ grades, and other claims.

�e Bellevue School District released a state-ment on Aug. 25 clarifying a handful statements made in the article, including that the school district made several attempts to speak with private citizens during its investigation but were denied, that there are no plans to broadcast any Bel-levue High School football games on ESPN, and that the district is working with the booster club to ensure alignment with the Bellevue School District mission and compliance with applicable policies and procedures.

Neither institution com-mented publicly on any other claims made in the Aug. 23 article.

�e Bellevue High School football team has been under �re since the district

announced on June 3 that the program had violated WIAA and district articles against o�-season coaching and illegal recruiting.

Longtime Head Coach Butch Goncharo� and another coach were given a game suspensions and pro-bation. �e school’s football program will be on proba-tion for three years, and the school will lose KingCo revenue shares this year and two additional school years (2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017).

Two investigations were conducted into the program beginning last winter – one by the district, and another by attorney Shawn Ann Flood.

Flood began a third party investigation into claims made by an Academic Insti-tute students and Bellevue High School football player that he had been verbally threatened by a trainer in the presence of multiple coaches and that Assistance Coach Je� Razore had threatened to revoke the student’s Academic Institute scholarship.

Several of the incidents investigated in Flood’s report violated school and district policies.

Area unemployment drops to 3.7 percent

A report released by the state Employ-ment Security Department found that unemployment in Seattle, Bellevue and Everett fell to 3.7 percent, a full percentage point lower than it was a year ago.

Compared to July 2014, the number of unemployed persons dropped from 72,600 to 58,400 in the region.

�e July 2015 unemployment rate is also a tenth of a percent lower than the previous month, equating to about 1,700 less unemployed persons. �at is in spite of the resident civilian labor force, or number of people in the workforce age 16

and up, increasing by nearly 7,000 people. Statewide, the state’s unemployment

rate was 5.3 percent in July, holding even with the national jobless rate. �at �gure is a 0.9 percent decrease from this time last year.

Voluntary water reduction goal met, continued water conservation urged

�e Cascade Water Alliance and it’s members– including Bellevue– collec-tively reduced water usage by ten percent over the last two weeks.

Despite meeting their goal, the Alli-ance is asking residents to continue to reduce their water use. Summer 2015 has seen historic low river levels, and record-setting hot and dry weather.

Updates will be available every other week at cascadewater.org.

BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

�e sounds of basketballs bouncing echoed throughout the Courter Athletic Pa-vilion this past week for the annual Bellevue Bulldogs youth basketball camp.

�e camp was led by Bellevue Bulldogs basketball head coach Jeremy Eggers and longtime assistant coach Marcus Fermon. �e 2015-16 season will be Fermon’s sixth season as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs’ basketball program.

“As a coach, it’s your job to get them to learn and understand the game,” Fermon said. “We have a great range of kids with dif-ferent skill sets here at camp.”

�e camp focused on the fundamentals of basketball as well as games sprinkled in to keep the campers focused.

“We mix in fun competitive stu� a�er drills. We will do 30 minutes of skill work and a�er that we will throw in some type of game in there for fun,” Fermon said.

Fermon was glad to see three Bulldogs’ current players in attendance sharing their basketball knowledge with the youthful play-ers in attendance.

“Its huge for some of them to help out. It allows them to understand how things are more from a coaching standpoint,” he said. “It allows them to understand what we as coaches are asking from them as players too.”

Focusing on the fundamentals

...obituariesDennis Gerlitz

Den sailed away to peaceful waters on August 23, 2015, but the wake he left will be felt for the rest of our lives.

He was born in 1937 to Alma and Alexander Gerlitz in Bismarck, North Dakota but lived, loved, and worked in the Seattle area from the time he was three-years-old. After graduating from the U. of W. with a

degree in English Lit he became a Marine Captain and pilot. Flying on and o� aircraft carriers was a favorite accomplishment.

He worked in the insurance industry for over 30 years, learning the business at Safeco Insurance but primarily as a Vice President for Great American/Ohio Casualty/Liberty Mutual. He loved his work but, more importantly, his co-workers, many of whom have remained life-long friends.

He was an avid skier and was on the ski patrol at Pilchuck and Crystal Mountain for years. If possible, he was a more avid sailor. Summers sailing on the Alma Lisetta (named after his mom) and winters on the slopes, fabulous trips all over the world and wading rivers with his � y-� shing pole kept him in perpetual motion. He loved music of all kinds from Opera to Blue Grass and became quite an accomplished banjo player. His only quiet time was spent in a theater seat (he didn’t miss a season at Ashland’s Shakespeare Festival for 40 years) or with his nose in a history book. His only regret was that he did not become a history professor.

He was generous to a fault—cooking for the homeless, endless fund-raising activities and his special passion of advocating for kids. He was a fabulous Little League Coach but hardly ever won a game because he always opted for the kids that were being left out.

His true love was for his family and if you were loved by Dennis, you knew you were loved. No one can attest to that unwavering-love more than his wife, Connie. His West Point graduate son, Kyle, popped his buttons but made him even happier when he married Ann and gave him three fabulous grandkids, Aaron, Alex, and Amanda. He bragged about his teacher-of the-year daughter, Gina, endlessly and even in his last confused days celebrated her promotion to an Assistant Principal position. His 50th birthday present was the “baby” of the group, Jordan. Jordan kept him young and was his constant protecting companion in these past couple of years. And no one could have asked for more loving care-givers during his � nal days of battling Lewy Body Syndrome than Gina and Ann.

Dennis was 17 when his “baby sister”, Jeanine was born. Changing your sister’s diapers creates a special bond that lasts a life time. Her husband Skip and their 4 girls, brother David and his wife Kathy and their 3 children, his sister Kathleen and her 4 children, and his adopted Thavongsack family will all miss his loving teasing. Niece Carrera will especially miss his cow kisses. The inconsolable member of the family, however, is Otto who continues to try to � nd him for a game of fetch.

Dennis was the most honorable, loving, funny, and intelligent person to grace our lives. Semper Fi our beloved. Keep your skis together and your bow into the wind.

A memorial service will be held at Overlake Golf & Country Club, 8000 NE 16th Street, Medina, WA, on Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 4 p.m.

Memorial contributions can be made to: Bellevue Schools Foundation at www.bellevueschoolsfoundation.

Margit SzucsMargit Szucs, of Bellevue, WA,

died August 10, 2015, age 85. Margit came to the U.S. in 1956 at the time of the Hungarian Revolution against the Russians. She and her husband George, and two young children � ed the violence, � res, and political oppression of the Communists and came to this country seeking freedom and a place to be safe to start over. Red

Cross evacuation � ights took them to New York at � rst and in 1958 they resettled in Washington state, ending up in the Bellevue area in 1960. George was a beloved family medical doctor serving Bellevue patients until around 1990 when he retired.

Margit was a homemaker raising her two little girls, and then having a third little girl, until her late 30-s.

Then Margit discovered herself, and art discovered Margit in her 40-s. What started as a way to dabble and play with her youngest, turned into a hobby, then an obsession, and � nally a � nely-trained profession. Margit went back to college, � nished a B.A. and then earned a Masters in Art from the University of Washington in 1982. She displayed and sold her � ne art through several high-end galleries in Seattle and Bellevue and was a favorite artist for several Street of Dreams mansions. Her work was found in banks and hotels, as well as � ne homes big and small from Anchorage to Vancouver B.C., to Seattle, to Portland, and down in Carmel, CA. She had a booth of honor for over a decade at the juried Bellevue Art Show where thousands got to see her work and visit with her.

Margit and George loved to entertain in their home and often had artist friends, medical friends, and old Hungarian friends mix together eating great home-cooked food, drinking warm spirits, and laughing into the night. Margit loved to garden and swim in her pool, soaking up a warm tan. When grandchildren came along, she would kidnap them for a weekend or a week and totally spoil them with fabulous baked yummies, lots of splashing in the pool, and fun times � nger painting and creating art “masterpieces” with them. These are memories the grandchildren even now, as adults, cherish.

Severe, soul-robbing depression prevented Margit from enjoying her last ten years of life, but she was loved and protected through her medical struggles by her husband of 62 years, Dr. George Szucs, as well as her daughters and close, dear friends. After her husband’s death three years ago, Margit moved closer to her daughter Eva and grandchildren in Coeur d’Alene, ID. Daughters Zsuzsa and Lita were frequent visitors to her in Idaho. Holding and visiting with grandchildren and young great-grandchildren would bring the shiny spark of delight back to her face when nothing else seemed to matter. It was a joy to behold! Margit is survived by daughters Eva Carleton, of Spokane, WA; Zsuzsa Blaine, of Bellingham, WA; and Tereza (Lita) Szucs, of Gig Harbor, WA. She has 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

May you � nally rest in peace, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother; we shall miss you! Margit and husband George shall be interred in the family crypt in Dunaszentgyorgy, Hungary. They loved the United States and were grateful for their comfortable and happy years here, but shall spend their eternity in their beloved Hungary. Notes to the family from friends -- especially with stories of Margit and George -- are welcomed and should be sent c/o Eva Carleton, 3103 S. High Dr., Spokane, WA 99203.

Going Rogue in ParadiseThe Auto Reporter

By Deanna Isaacs

The 2015 Nissan Rogue is a small sport utility vehicle with a low-centered attitude, so I took it to

some altitude to see how well it works on some curvy roads out toward Rainier.

Starting at $23,040 (the SV AWD pack-age is $28,315, as driven), the Rogue is the SUV for people who insist upon tight handling in all their rides.

With the same XTronic continuously variable automatic transmission as the Maxima, the Rogue kept the RPMs in the power band, but it was still weird to not have de� ned shi� ing as I would with a normal automatic. Weird, but not bad: � e XTronic gave me plenty of enjoyment on the curvy roads and the straights.

And the engine it’s connected to is quite good. � e 2.5-liter DOHC engine pro-duces 170 horsepower and 175 pounds-per-foot of torque, making it quick on the get-up-and-go, and the all-wheel drive ensures you’ll keep it on the road.

My husband and I decided to test the Rogue on a visit to Paradise’s views of Mount Rainier, at the Rainier National Park.

We le� for the park around 2 p.m., enjoying the languid and relaxing roads through the Nisqually Valley and its motels, trees and occasional paddock of horses. On a Sunday, most of the tra� c was heading in the other direction, making our roads clear and fun. � e looming giant grew closer and closer at a steady clip.

Most of the hot day we spent with the windows down, the AC on and our heated seats melting our backs (Don’t knock it; it was great). � e driver’s seat had six-way adjustable seats while the passenger’s was four-way manual.

As we neared the park, the roads got twistier and the Rogue settled into the corners with a bit of umph to the outside bits, eagerly chewing up the curvy miles. Given that most of the road to Paradise was under repavement, I was extremely pleased with how so� the ride was during the ascent and how well the interior kept us comfortable.

Once inside the park, we stopped sev-eral times just to get out of the Rogue and immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We walked along dried river beds and listened to bugs that sounded more like helicopters crash landing than insects.

A� er taking the obligatory touristy landscape photographs of the mountain, we hopped back into the car for more RPM-borne fun. � e 170-horsepower engine provided smiles all the way up.

� e ride height and low center of gravity for this SUV proved to be quite grin-worthy on the many hairpin turns that litter the road to Paradise.

� e Nissan wasn’t just good on corners, it had solid fuel e� ciency at 28 combined miles per gallon (26 in the city and 33 on the highway). Even with pedal to the

metal, I managed to get 29 MPG up and down the mountain. When we reached the top, I was sad because the up and twisties were at an end.

Twenty-person families took pictures from a six-foot sel� e stick while stand-ing a stone’s throw from deer feeding on grass. We saw marmots running along river beds before zooming underneath wooden bridges. Waterfalls cascaded past a viewpoint sliding o� the cli� (scary!).

As the sun set behind the foothills around Mount Rainier the clouds above it gained a � ery tinge, making it seem like the sleeping volcano was merely resting its eyes. We sat in the Rogue and watched the last light fade away as we ate our ham and cheese sandwiches from the tailgate. � e stars started to shine, like nothing one could see in the city, � lling the skies with dotted potential.

It was sad to head down the mountain,

but by that time it was pushing 10 p.m. I drove around 25 mph so as not to hit any deer, the bane of our return trip to Seattle.

All but two were content to stay on the side of the road feasting on the grassy shoulder. � e two that weren’t were saved by the Rogue’s ample stopping power.

We made a stop at Sonic around mid-night to get a sugary injection into our brains prior to hitting the highway home. � e largest shake (which lasted me two days) � t very well in the cupholders.

� e day ended just as it had started, on the road with the 2015 Nissan Rogue with smiles on our faces, which isn’t bad for a small SUV that starts out below $24k.

Village � eatre’s latest show, Snapshots, begins in a moment of crisis. Sue, readying to leave her husband of 20 years, goes up to the attic to grab

her suitcase when Dan comes home from work early and confronts her. When a box of old photographs spills out onto the � oor and signi� cant memories from their past literally spring to life, they are reminded of why they came together — and how they dri� ed apart.

“Who we were a� ects who we are,” show writer David Stern said. “Sometimes those things build up enough that they create walls between us. As we grow up, life sort of gets in the way of our relationships.”

� e musical will open in Issaquah’s Village � eatre Sept. 10, more than a decade a� er an un� nished version of it � rst debuted as a Village Originals Developmental Production in 2005.

� e production began as a way to pay tribute to Stephen Schwartz’s work. Snapshots features 26 songs from 12 shows throughout Schwartz’s career, including “Popular” from Wicked and “� at’s How You Know” from Disney’s Enchanted.

To � t the new story, Schwartz has tweaked the lyrics or tempo of some of the most popular tunes, which Stern says is unheard of. Schwartz also wrote the one original song, “Snapshots,” in the musical.

� e idea to create Snapshots � rst formed back in the early ‘90s. Stern’s friend Michael Scheman wanted to create a revue of the composer’s work, which no one had done before.

“Well that’s ridiculous,” Stern recalls thinking upon hearing no one had created a revue of Schwartz’s work.

So, Stern looked the composer up in the phonebook — an art lost with the far� ung era of the ‘90s — and called him.

A� er Stern pitched the concept of adapting his songs to a completely new story, Schwartz said it was a great idea.

“Only now do I know he says that to everybody,” Stern said.

Looking back, he said it was a crazy idea — but as a 20-something-year-old, “we didn’t know any better,”

Stern said.At � rst, Stern and Scheman wrote a script for a four-

person play before doing a read-through for Schwartz two years later.

He loved it — but it was clear they had much more work to do, Stern said.

“If you’re going to try a new story with these songs, we need to really deliver,” Stern recalls Schwartz telling him.

And that’s where they le� o� , until nearly a decade

later when employees at the Village � eatre brought Stern and Schwartz back together in 2005.

Even a� er that, they worked on Snapshots for sev-eral more years, with various small-scale incarnations performed around the states, before the show developed into what it is now.

� at unplanned break turned out to be vital to the story, Stern said.

When � rst collaborating, Stern was much closer to the younger pair, whereas Schwartz was in his 40s, married, with children, and could relate to the couple in their early adulthood.

Coming back to the material more recently, the two had advanced to a new stage of their lives: Stern married and had children while Schwartz’s children had moved out.

“� rough the passage of time, and our new life experi-ences, we were � nally able to � nish the piece,” Stern wrote in his author’s note.

� ey added a new couple, capping the cast at six ac-tors.

“We were able to bring a real honesty to it that we couldn’t before because we hadn’t lived it,” Stern said.

� e actors that had played the couple in their early adulthood, DeVries and Hastings, in 2005 were recast as the older, present-day couple.

In their youth, going back to grade school, Mallory King and Ben Wynant play Susie and Danny, respective-ly. In their early adulthood, Susan and Daniel are played by Tracy McDowell and Jim DeSelm.

More and more Eastsiders are making their own beer, but locals say originality and funky � avors have taken hold of the increasingly popular

hobby. Forget pumpkin � avored brews — In an envi-ronment � ush with IPAs and stouts, brewers are getting more adventurous.

“We’re seeing beer � avors that weren’t around four years ago,” said John Mendrick, owner of Mountain Homebrew and Wine Supply in Kirkland.

� at attitude has parlayed into many local breweries, some of which were started by former homebrewers. “If you’re new and you want to make a name for yourself, one way to do it is to make something a little crazier and o� of the map,” Chainline Brewing owner Scott Holm said. “Personally, that doesn’t strike a chord with me.”

Homebrewing has been growing rapidly throughout the area, said Mendrick, who has been in the brew-ing supply business for 15 years. According to him, the amount of people making their own beer blew up about � ve years ago, and is starting to plateau. “Everybody knows somebody who brews beer now,” he said.

� e ease and potential for personalization make homebrewing a popular hobby. Interested persons can take classes or buy their own starter kit with instruc-tions, and make a unique brew by adding di� erent spices or fruit. Many people even have get-togethers with other homebrewers and swap concoctions, like Sammamish-based brewer David Flynn.

Nearly everywhere he goes, he meets another home-brewer, he said.

“I’ll go to a business meeting or a party, and always get introduced to someone new who homebrews,” Flynn said. “All of the sudden, you’re down that rabbit hole and you’ve been talking for hours.”

� at ease is another part of what makes creativity key to Eastside homebrewing. If a concoction turns out ter-rible, the creator has likely only made � ve or so gallons in their garage, not 500.

It doesn’t hurt that many local homebrewers come from science or engineering backgrounds. “I think there’s a perception that it’s a supply and demand thing, that homebrewing is associated with people in the backwoods of Alabama or something,” Flynn said. “But I think it re-ally appeals to people with science-driven minds.”

Homebrewers can buy anything and everything necessary to brew their beer online or at local shops like Mountain Homebrew and Wine Supply — boiling, straining, � ltering, fermenting and bottling equipment is all available, as well as spices, yeast, hops, and even di� erent colors of seals and labels for brewers who bottle their � nished products.

� e hobby can easily grow into a lifestyle as brewers go from the standard � ve-gallon brewing kits to equipment that can store 27 or more gallons of beer.

In fact, many of Mendrick’s clients have gone on to start their own businesses. Bellevue Brewery, Black Raven Brewing Company and Chainline Brewing were all started by Mountain Homebrew clients who decided to go bigger.

“I wish I had a wall of graduates,” Mendrick said. “I can’t keep track of all of the breweries and wineries that have been started by my customers.”

A� er working in an engineering-related � eld, Holm wanted to bring a little bit more creativity into his life. He made the jump from homebrewer to business owner three years ago a� er years of brewing bigger and bigger batches of beer.

But his creative urges have yet to push him into wild � avor territory, and likely won’t, he said. “We’re not going to try and put pepper or some crazy ingredient in there to shock you,” Holm said. “I’d rather you’d be impressed with the quality of the product versus the ingredients list.”

Eating Well

What you’ll need: • Plates• Glassware – acrylic is great• Flatware• Napkins (roll each place setting in a napkin to pack; I like to provide

two napkins per person)• Serving spoons, spreaders, extra serving plates• Corkscrew and bottle/can opener• Knife and small cutting board• Tablecloth, if appropriate• Candles (if allowed)• Matches• Small fl ashlight• Moistened paper towels or hand towels in a plastic bag, for washing

up• Extra towels• Extra plastic bags for packing dirty dishes• Rubbish bag• Cooler: A cooler with a fl at can be topped with a large tray to serve as

a tabletop, with easy cooler access. Plenty of ICE/ice packs (frozen wa-ter bottles work well). Be sure to check with your concert venue about bring in drinks. Some allow it; others don’t. Don’t forget non-alcoholic drinks.

• Chairs or a blanket• First aid kit• Sunscreen• Insect spray• Umbrella — a large golf umbrella can be a lifesaver during a pre-

concert storm.• For a late evening, a thermos of hot drinks and cups!

Picnic like a bossI love the outdoor concert experience, amped up with fabulous food. But

once you have your outdoor concert tickets in hand, what should you pack for that sumptuous feast? Pack a portable repast; it’s easy and delicious:

• Hummus with pita bread wedges and assorted vegetable dippers (purchased)

• Mediterranean Chicken• Cranberry Pecan Quinoa Salad• Small whole-grain rolls• Death by Chocolate squares

Picnic EssentialsWhen creating a portable feast, use ingenuity and creativity in your

food selection. Prepare foods in advance, thoroughly chilling before going into the cooler with plenty of ice and ice packs.

Keep cold things cold and hot things hot. And remember that eggs and dairy foods are particularly susceptible to spoilage.

Keep hot foods hot, at least 145°F until served. For quick transport, wrap in layers of newspapers and towels, or pack heated foods in warmed vacuum bottles up to four hours.

As you pack your cooler and picnic basket, try to arrange the foods in the order that you plan to serve, with those items required last at the bot-tom, delicate foods on the top.

Be sure to slice the pitas before packing for easy serving.Nestle hummus container in a larger, shallow container, arrange veg-

etables alongside and snap lid over everything — then into the cooler. Seal pocket bread into a sandwich bag. To serve, just remove lids and tuck the bag of bread alongside the vegetables.

No, you can’t take it home — but you can take home the experience.

As a community team-building e� ort, artist Karen White will spend a Septem-ber morning in Sammamish teaching children, ages 8-12, to weave various sticks and twigs into a giant nest.

White, a member of ArtEAST and pro-fessional environmental artist, had spent months traveling the Paci� c Northwest where she learned to make art from what was around her by examining the pat-terns and shapes of the natural world.

She’s built too many nests to count, but ballparks the number at about 30.

Each one is di� erent but all require a team of people to put it together.

“It’s a nice metaphor for community and home,” White said.

O� en times, she said, people miss what’s right in front of them; they miss the beauty and intricacies of nature.

“When you make a giant nest people can lay in, you can’t miss it,” she said.

Sammamish Arts Commissioner Ramu Iyer, who helped organize the event, echoed White’s thoughts.

“You get used to taking things for granted and you don’t pause,” he said. “You can take community for granted. You have to sort of build and grow a community. It has to be a conscious ef-fort.”

� e size of the nest will depend on the number of people working on it. � e Sammamish event has a cuto� of 40 participants. � e community, however, is welcome to attend and watch.

As they construct the nest, the group will periodically pick it up to make sure

the bottom is sturdy and together. White will instruct the children to take a step back and examine or rotate it as they build, to reveal what still needs to be done.

“When we’re done, it’s no longer ours. It’s everyone’s,” White said.

� e “2015 Rookery Nest Making” project will take place in the Lower Com-mons Park, accessible 21805 S.E. Eighth Street, Sept. 19 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Eventually the nest will be placed in Big Rock Park to add to its natural playscape theme when it opens in spring 2016.

City maintenance workers have been stockpiling the materials, like willow and dogwood clippings, for the last several months, Sammamish Parks and Recre-ation Project Manager Kellye Hilde said.

“It is going to be the coolest thing ever,” Hilde said. “� is is such a perfect way of teaching people about the envi-ronment — the park’s environment.”

In total, the city of Sammamish is paying $5,000 to bring White into town. Funding is primarily coming from the Sammamish Arts Commission budget.

� e project developed through a partnership with ArtEAST, a group of artisans and art supporters who put on exhibitions and teach community classes.

ArtEAST had worked with the city of Issaquah last year to bring White and her talent of creating giant nests as part of Highlands Day.

He worked in woods: Rare, durable and capable of being made beau-tiful despite — or maybe because

of — their � aws. She works with � bers: delicate, light and consequently di� cult to “sculpt.”

Together, the late Bob Stocksdale and Kay Sekimachi are considered pioneers of American cra� art, a movement in which artists create � ne art using practi-cal skills. � e divergent yet parallel works of the husband and wife are the subject of a current Bellevue Arts museum ex-hibit, In the Realm of Nature, on display through Oct. 18.

Signe May� eld spoke in tones of rever-ence as, side-by-side with the diminu-tive Sekimachi, she led a tour through decades of the couple’s separate works. May� eld curated the exhibit beginning with its launch at the Mingei Interna-tional Museum last year, but she’s also clearly a fan.

With “Room Divider,” a Sekima-chi piece woven in mono� lament, she gushed over the intricacy of the pointed patterns and layering achieved from an exceedingly � ne � ber.

“� e idea that you could ever weave � shing line was remarkable,” May� eld said. � en she turned, a little embarrassed to Sekimachi. “I know you shouldn’t talk about technique in front of the artist, but it’s just remarkable to think about.”

Sekimachi dismissed May� eld’s per-ceived faux pas and indulged her with the story behind the work.

“I wanted to do a tapestry that had di-mension — at least three layers,” Sekima-chi said before going into a blow-by-blow of how she used the ikat dyeing method, tying o� sections of � ber and saturating the isolated sections in ink. “� e prepar-ing part took longest. � e weaving was not so bad.”

Likewise, as she approaches a signature zebrawood Stocksdale bowl, May� eld takes care in describing the smooth contours and the dips and curves in the rim he achieved with his lathe. She points out how this particular piece took advantage of a fungus infestation in the original material to create a distinct pattern and coloration impossible with unsullied wood.

“And they’re just dusty old logs when he gets them,” she joked.

� e exhibit is organized chronologi-cally by decade, beginning in the 1950s postwar period. Both artists had been interned by the U.S. government during World War II for di� erent reasons: Se-kimachi for being nisei Japanese during the xenophobia that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor, Stocksdale for being a conscientious objector to the war e� ort. He was conscripted into a Civilian Public

Service Camp.Both settled in Berkeley, California,

following their incarceration. Stocksdale, who had worked as a

cabinetmaker before the war and taught woodworking to other conscientious objectors in exchange for pies, was re-leased in 1946 and bought into a shared house where he built the wood shop he would use for the rest of his life. � ere, he delved into the creative side of wood-work, experimenting with new shapes and techniques and adopting a strict work ethic — refusing, for example, to work with the same wood on consecutive projects.

Sekimachi, the daughter of a dra� s-man, had taken an interest in art and fashion design as a young girl and pursued a formal art education while attending high school in incarceration. When her family returned to their home

in Berkeley in 1945, she saved for more than a year to a� ord classes in design at the California College of Arts and Cra� in Oakland.

By pure chance, she wandered into a weaving class and became entranced by the process, spending her remaining savings on a loom the next day. A later encounter with Bauhaus-trained weaver Trude Guermonprez pushed her under-standing of the loom as an artistic tool.

Sekimachi and Stocksdale married in 1972, facilitating a partnership as creative as it was romantic. Stocksdale built Sekimachi custom weaving equip-ment that allowed her to more e� ciently build the o� -loom, netted forms that had become her signature over the previous nine years.

Stocksdale, meanwhile, worked prodigiously until his death at age 90 in 2003, pushing into rarer and rarer woods (though the amount of material he used in his lifetime would only take up a one-acre wood) and creating novel shapes that would earn him the title of “father of American woodworking,” as described by furniture designer Sam Maloof.

Engineering laughsConversations with Funny People

Interview by Daniel Nash

So I understand you were a Boeing engineer before diving into comedy?ANWAR: Yeah. It was actually a really premeditated plan; an elaborate way for me to do standup. I started doing standup when I was 18. A� er my senior year of high school, I was going to open mics and performing all summer. When it came time to go to college, my parents would pay for it but only for certain degrees. And I tried to push it at � rst: I said, ‘What about a theater degree?’ and they said no, then ‘What about an English degree?’ and they said no. I wanted to have my degree and eat it too. Basically, engineering was the only degree they would still pay for. So it was a means to the end, but it made school simpler in a way. My best friend and neigh-bor decided to do mechanical engineering, so I decided to do mechanical engineering too.

So if you were focused on theater and entertainment from the start, was engineering a learning curve?ANWAR: I’ve always been good at school and good at math and science. I got the degree and jumped through all the hoops. I’m able to do it, I’m a smart guy. � en, when I began working for Boeing, I would drive to Hollywood and do open mics a� er my day job, no problem. I only le� once I reached a point of success where my job was holding me back from doing the things I really wanted to do.

Did your coworkers come out to your shows?ANWAR: No, I kept [work and comedy] very separate. No one at work knew. Well, that’s not entirely true: Two days before my last day, somebody Googled me and of course they found out. � e thing was, when I was working at Boeing there was a little bit of a generational gap. I was 22-23 when I worked there and, my coworkers, they were all in their early 30s with kids and stu� . Our worlds didn’t really cross over.

I read a story that you were booed o� -stage of the Apollo Theater’s touring Amateur Night. When you were a teenager?ANWAR: [Chuckles] Yes that’s true. It was like… it was the Paramount � eater, one of the nicest theaters in Seattle.

� ree-hundred some people auditioned. When I got selected, they [the producers] really did like me. It wasn’t one of those things where they picked me speci� cally to bomb. � ey liked me, they liked the set but, later on in dress rehearsal, they asked me to switch two bits around in my act. I was like, ‘Alright,’ but it wasn’t working as well for me and it didn’t work for the audience either.

I had family out, I had school people there, family, friends and this happened in front of all of them. It was quite a sensation. It was surreal almost. It’s something very few people get to experience: An entire theater boo-ing you. I walked o� stage and thought ‘� is is a dream, right?’

But then its like you shake it o� . I’m kind of grateful it happened so early on. If you’re able to still do comedy a� er an experience like that, you’re in good shape.

Have your parents come around on your career now that you’re mak-ing appearances on late night shows and booking acting gigs?ANWAR: Looking back I’m actually kind of glad they didn’t let me do [theater or English] degrees. I wouldn’t have any leg up on what I’m doing right now. I think when you’re a kid you think a certain degree will help you up in that � eld. But sometimes they’re just wasted degrees. Engineering was able to springboard me into standup. I didn’t have to do things [in entertainment] for money instead of the art. Success has made things easier [when it comes to my parents]. � ey’re teetering a bit. Some-times they still bring up returning to engineering, so I’m not completely out of the woods. But with every job I think they so� en a bit.

You’re a Paci� c Northwest native. Do you have any place you make sure you visit when a gig brings you back up here?ANWAR: Whenever I’m back home I always try to hit up Ivar’s. Or Taco Time. Burgermaster. If I visit one place, it’s probably Burgermaster.

Any new projects coming down the pipeline?ANWAR: I’m in a new Tina Fey movie, coming out in 2016. It’s called Fun House.

Ever since he was a teenager, Everett native Fahim Anwar knew he wanted to be an entertainer. But his parents told him to be practical. So he did the unthinkable and... took their advice.
