When Bill Proby retired from a high-ranking position at a pharmaceutical com-

pany three years ago, he envisioned spending most of his time gol� ng, � shing and traveling.

� ose dreams quickly faded for the near 30-year resident of Sammamish — but not in a negative way.

Once a young man who dabbled in art, Proby hung up his paint brush years ago.

“A� er college I pretty much had to put art aside and focus on my career,” said Proby, 60.

� at all changed in 2009, when his wife, Marilyn, unintentionally directed her husband back to a childhood passion.

In desperate need of art for an auction at the Sammamish Rowing Association, Marilyn volunteered Bill for the task.

“My wife said, ‘Well, my husband is artistic, maybe he will paint a picture for the auction,’” Proby said.

Bill was surprised, but gladly took the chal-

lenge. “I said, ‘I haven’t painted a picture in 35

years, I have no idea what to do and I certainly have never painted any rowers.’”

Using his primary medium, oil canvases, Proby began painting. He quickly � nished one piece before he anticipated. He started on another, and before long, had four paintings

ready to go to auction.Proby’s paintings raised a signi� cant amount

for rowing organization, but it was the praise he received from dozens of people at the auc-tion that ignited a spark within.

“� ey asked, where do you show your work

BY LINDA BALLLBALL@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

Anita Cox of Snoqualmie retired in June 2011 a� er teaching for 36 years. � e last school she taught at was Christa McAuli� e Elementary in Sammamish, where she worked for 16 years.

Unfortunately, the joy of her retirement was thrown o� balance. One month later she was diagnosed with stage IIIc uterine cancer. Cox � nished her treatment in March this year.

Cox, 63, had all of her treatment — chemotherapy and radiation — at Swedish Issaquah. She wanted a symbol for patients who were complet-ing their treatment to mark the occasion. How about ringing a bell to celebrate the last treat-ment?

“A very dear friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer had heard about the idea and donated a bell to the hospital in Georgia where she had received her treatment,” Cox said. “Sadly, my friend has recently seen a recurrence of her cancer. � at makes the do-nation of the bells even more signi� cant to me.”

� e bell-ringing tradition is now widespread. It was introduced in 1996 at MD Anderson Cancer Center when U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Irve Le Moyne, a patient with head and neck cancer, installed a brass bell at the main campus radiation treatment center in Houston and in Albuquerque, N.M.

Cox said she went online and saw that several hospitals throughout the country had bells used for cancer pa-tients to ring as a symbol of

completing a step in their treatment plan. With permission from Swedish, she found the bells and plaques that she wanted to donate to both the infusion center and the radiology unit.

It’s a small but meaningful way to cel-ebrate when you exit treatment for the last time.

“� en I found several possible quotations to put on the plaques,” she said.

Cox wanted to see which quotations people felt were most appropriate. Interest-ingly, there was no clear consensus.

“I guess that just validates the idea that everyone’s cancer journey is di� erent,” Cox said.

In the end, Cox selected the quotations that spoke to her and her own journey. For the plaque outside the infusion center she chose “Some days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway,” by Emory Austin.

For the radiation unit she chose “You gain strength, courage, and con� dence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face,” by Eleanor Roosevelt.

Amy Christian, manager of Swedish Can-cer Institute Issaquah, and Eastside Oncol-ogy, said Swedish had to be sensitive about the bells because although some patients will want to celebrate and ring the bell, others might have mixed emotions because they know they’ll never recover. But, Christian

said, the bells have been received positively.“People have the option,” Christian said.

“If you would like to, you can do this as celebrating this milestone in your life.”

Cox said the wife of another patient also brought a bell for her to ring on that special day. Her radiology technicians even played “Makes Me Want to Shout,” her request, as she endured her last radiation treatment.

“When I got o� the table, we rang the bells like crazy and the techs presented me with a ‘radiation graduation’ certi� cate,” Cox said. “I felt such enormous relief at having made it to the end of my cancer treatment. I wanted to be able to give that same sense of accomplishment and joy to others dealing with cancer.”

When Darth Vader roams around Sam-mamish neighborhoods this Halloween, he won’t be fulfilling the needs of the Dark Side.

In fact, it will be quite the opposite. Nine-year-old Ajay Gupta, who will dress

as the notorious Star Wars villain, decided to take on a mission to help children in need around the world.

“I think it’s important because while we’re happy at Halloween when we collect the candy, it would great if we could make other kids who aren’t as fortunate as we are happy,” Ajay said. “We go around once a year to strangers and asking for free candy while other kids, they can’t.”

Ajay first got the idea while talking to his

mother, Vinaya, about a United Nations Children’s Fund project she did as a young girl in Toronto.

“Where I lived, UNICEF was distributed through the school,” Vinaya said. “All kids took boxes, it was just part of Halloween. We moved here and I noticed we didn’t see any.”

Ajay decided this year he was going to change that.

On his own, the Rachel Carson Elemen-tary fourth-grader called the non-profit organization and ordered 150 Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF donation boxes.

Not long after, he learned that his father’s employer, Microsoft, had 1,600 extra boxes around. It was then, Ajay realized there was no limit to where he could take his project.

“I’m asking if anybody wants to start it in their neighborhood,” he said.

Ajay already has distributed boxes around his school and local businesses. He also designed flyers on his own and has given presentations to his class and others at his school about the importance of help-ing others around the world.

“Twenty-five cents gives 10 kids clean water for a day, that’s pretty interesting, you know,” said Ajay, sitting at his makeshift office, otherwise known as his parent’s din-ning room table.

In two weeks, he has raised $62 worth of change in his classroom alone. He has passed out boxes to other classrooms and other students, who will take them with them while trick-or-treating.

Ajay’s giving nature appears to already become contagious.

Two kids in his home classroom, Sam Coomes and Cameron Ossinger, have gone “UNICEFing”, which is collecting money before Halloween.

Another classmate, Jane Blisset, has of-fered to do the same project in her neigh-borhood, Chambord.

Ajay, who stays active with soccer, base-

ball, reading and Lego construction, said he will probably consider helping UNICEF again next year. But, if he is unable to tackle the task, there’s a replacement waiting in the wings. His sister, Reva, 7, already has displayed her own interest in taking the boxes to her classroom.

“It’s great to see the light that’s sparked with such a small idea, that it’s turned into this,” Vinaya said. “I feel very proud.”

We’ve waged a war on drugs for decades. Some-times the battle is worth it. � at’s not the case with marijuana. Voters should vote “yes” on

Initiative 502 and license and regulate it instead.� e illegality of marijuana doesn’t mean it’s not avail-

able. Far from it. It is grown extensively and is readily available to those who want it. But, because it’s “illegal,” we waste millions of law-enforcement dollars trying to eradicate it, money that would be better spent stopping violent crime. It also means marijuana use is uncon-trolled – and untaxed – by government.

Some worry that marijuana is a gateway drug, leading people to harder – and more destructive – substances. � at hasn’t been proven to be true, much like that � rst beer a person has doesn’t mean he or she will turn into an alcoholic.

� e public can buy liquor and tobacco products in their neighborhood grocery store. Government isn’t about to stop that – it makes too much money by taxing them. Marijuana should be treated – and taxed – the same.

Vote “yes” on I-502.

Vote ‘yes’ on R-74 for marriage for all

The Legislature approved marriage for same-sex couples in the last legislative session. Referendum

74 is a vote to approve that decision. � e Legislature did the right thing and voters should, too, by approving Referendum 74.

At its heart, R-74 is a vote against discrimination. It gives to all people something simple, but profound – the right to marry.

Many of those who oppose R-74 say gays and lesbians shouldn’t be allowed to rede� ne marriage. Perhaps that’s because the de� nition is wrong. At its core, marriage is two people vowing their love and commitment together. What’s important is the love and commitment, not their speci� c genders.

Voters should reject discrimination – and approve R-74.

ATTACK ON MULLET SIMPLY NOT TRUE

I have worked with Mark Mullet since he was elected to the Issaquah City Council in 2009. It really both-ers me to see the stu� coming from independent groups saying that Mark Mullet supports raising taxes.

� at is simply not true and is far from the truth. During my time on the Issaquah council I have been im-pressed that Mark looks for e� cien-cies in government to balance the budget, not extra tax revenue. Mark has voted against increasing the prop-erty tax on Issaquah residents every year since he was elected. Mark will bring the same � scal responsibility he has shown on the council to Olympia to balance our state budget.

I encourage you to vote for Mark Mullet for State Senate.

Fred Butler, Issaquah City Council

SUPPORT R-74, MARRIAGE EQUALITY

We, the undersigned members and friends of East Shore Unitar-ian Church, support the approval of Referendum 74 and encourage others to vote to approve it as well.

Our support of marriage equality is an expression of our faith and values. Love is the doctrine of the church in Bellevue. Our Unitarian Universalist faith honors the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

We believe in justice, equity and compassion in human relations, and in the use of the democratic process in our congregations and society at large,

Because we believe in the sanctity of love, since 1984 our churches have celebrated and blessed commitment ceremonies for loving, committed couples who could not legally marry.

Referendum 74 is a civil marriage law. It establishes the same civil rights to all residents of Washington state and respects the freedom of each religious community to celebrate mar-riage as each sees � t.

We are pleased to join the 130 religious congregations statewide who publicly support Referendum 74. We look forward to the day when all lov-ing, committed couples may know the joy and commitment of marriage.

Marriage Equality Ministry Team, East Shore Unitarian Church

WYMAN BEST CHOICE FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

I enthusiastically support Kim Wyman for Secretary of State.

As your Secretary of State for the past 12 years, I fully understand the qualities needed to serve success-fully in that position.

It’s not a matter of political party preference. Instead, it’s the ability to rise above party and oversee elec-tions and the other o� ce functions in a fair, non-partisan way. Wyman has demonstrated that quality for 12 years as the � urston County Audi-tor. She is endorsed by 66 present and former county auditors includ-ing 24 Democrats.

Wyman would bring remarkable breadth and depth of knowledge and professional experience to the position. She has been administer-ing elections and historical records for 21 years.

Wyman is the candidate with true

vision for the future. She was se-lected by the PEW Foundation to be the local government o� cial to serve on a task force on voter registration modernization.

Wyman has received strong endorsements from every endorsing newspaper in the state.

Please join me in voting for Kim Wyman for Secretary of State.

Sam Reed, Secretary of State, Olympia

GOODMAN A PUBLIC SAFETY CHAMPION

State Rep. Roger Goodman’s strong record on drunk driving has been outrageously distorted by his oppo-nent through false robocalls and T.V. ads. On the contrary, Goodman has worked to keep us safe on the road by passing drunk driving legislation that is a model for the nation.

According to the Washington State Tra� c Commission, Goodman’s legislation has resulted in a 36 percent decline in alcohol-related deaths and serious injuries on Washington’s roads in the last two years.

Voters should know that public safety is one of Goodman’s top priori-ties and that he has been enormously successful at passing laws that make us safer on the roads. In fact, Goodman has won both the Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s national “Legislator of the Year” award, and the “Safety Champion” award from the National Highway Tra� c Safety Administration because of his ground-breaking work on ignition interlock devices which keep drunk drivers o� the road.

Vote with the facts. Roger Good-man is a public safety champion.

I had the opportunity to moderate a 5th District candidate forum recently. While the candidates came from dif-

ferent backgrounds and certainly held di� erent perspectives on many issues, there

is common thread that unites them all — the desire to serve their com-munity and to make it a better place.

Moderating that debate and pondering the overall dynamics of this upcoming election, I was reminded of my trip to our nation’s capital two years ago this week.

At one point on my sojourn, my nose was mere inches away from the most important document in America: � e Constitution. In 1787, our founders permanently expressed in ink and sheepskin what had slowly formed in their hearts, minds and action during the 11 very challenging years before.

� is four-page document was the legal blueprint and de� ning principle of our

nation — a radical ethos that started with just three very simple words. It wasn’t ‘We the Republicans’ or ‘We the Democrats.’ It wasn’t ‘We the Tea-Party’ or ‘We the Super-PACS’ and especially not ‘We the Million-aires (or their Corporations). It was ‘We the People’.

Well, in two weeks, ‘We the People’ have an opportunity to boldly a� rm our nation and our state’s direction. Or, to change it. But it all begins with you, and with your vote.

But before you start � lling in the circles on the ballot, please set aside some qual-ity time and truly educate yourself on the people running for national and state o� ce. Not to mention the state initiatives and judicial candidates as well. � e state of Washington Voter’s Pamphlet is probably still sitting on your dining room table or in your in-box. Do yourself and your com-munity a favor: Splash some cold water on your face, get a cup of co� ee or tea, pick up a highlighter and don’t just idly leaf through the voter’s pamphlet—study it.

And ask yourself: Who are the candi-

dates? Why are they really running? Is out of a sel� ess willingness to truly serve the needs of their community or state? Or just another ideologue from their party’s ‘Cen-tral Casting Dept.’ — appointed to carry the elephant or donkey banner? Take a few moments to check out the candidates’ Web sites and Facebook pages and see what they are for and what they will do and who they will work with — not just what or who they are against.

Take some time to also explore the pros and cons of our state initiatives. Who do they help and why? Ask yourself: Does this add a positive element to our state? What is the motivation in the initiative? Better gov-ernment? Sound � scal policy? Enhanced life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Or, mere politics? Note the small print, both the folks who wrote for and against the initiative. � at says a lot.

When the dust settles on Nov. 6, there will be much to do to continue to rebuild the integrity of our country and our state’s divided political system. Regardless of whose name or preferred party ends up in

the win column, once again, I urge our new or renewed representatives to remember that they were sent to Olympia and Wash-ington, D.C., to do the people’s business. Our business. � at can only be done by doing two simple things:

1: Be brave enough to set aside the poli-tics of divisiveness. Reach across to the aisle to your political opposites and take up the challenge of forging common ground and a mutual purpose to get things done. True politics is the art of consensus building. Pragmatic compromise to achieve action does not mean defeat.

2: Do what is right for our nation, our state and our community, and not just for your party’s agenda.

Voting in a free election is not only our right, it is our duty as citizens of this great land.

Do yourself, your community, and those that fought for your freedom to vote the honor of voting wisely.

New statewide campaign to help residents prepare for winter storms� e Paci� c Northwest’s record-breaking,

dry, warm fall weather is about to take a turn, meaning winter storms are not far away. Take Winter By Storm – a campaign to help residents get prepared before bad weather strikes – and the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) joined forces to launch the annual pre-paredness campaign and urge people to take action.

In past years that featured similar conditions, such as 2006 and 2009, the dry

weather changed dramatically, bringing heavy rain, � ooding, wind storms and snow.

“� e bottom line,” says Ted Buehner, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with NOAA’s National Weather Service Seattle, “citizens need to be ready in advance, and watch, listen and monitor weather fore-casts. Don’t wait until the storm strikes to prepare – that’s too late!”

Helping the e� ort to educate residents about the importance of winter weather preparedness is returning local icon � e Wheedle. � e large, round, furry creature and former sports mascot has been gi� ed to the Take Winter By Storm campaign by

Matt Bott, the president of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce calls TransNET, Inc. a great local success story.

TransNET, Inc. was a � nalist in the second annual King County small business awards, in the “Ex-porting Small Business of the Year” category. Bott nominated Trans-NET for the second year in a row, noting that the company also gives back generously to the community.

TransNET is now housed in their own brand-new building at 1710 5th Ave. N.W. � e company started on the same location in an old house, and as it grew, moved to a location behind Safeway for six years. President Peter Moe Jr. said the intent always was to owner oc-cupy, and the timing was right with low construction costs this year. With a new building and this lo� y recognition, this family business is literally on the move.

TransNET is in the business of global transportation logistics, spe-ci� cally doing business on the Rus-sian Paci� c Coast. Moe’s dad, Peter Moe Sr., has worked in the shipping

industry his entire life. � e family moved to the West coast from the East coast in the 1980s. Moe Jr. had already settled here, and once the time was right for he and his dad to form a business together, the company grew organically as the post-Soviet Union Russian econo-my grew.

“People wouldn’t choose to get into this business - it’s a niche busi-ness,” Moe said.

Four of the sta� at TransNET speak Russian. Moe said it’s logisti-cally challenging where TransNET does their work. � e company brings goods into this most eastern part of Russia from the U.S., Eu-rope, Australia and Asia. � ey’ve gained their expertise in this market.

With 15 employees in Issaquah, there are also 35 employees globally spread throughout Moscow, Vladi-vostok (which has the main rail head for the trans-siberian railway and is the largest Russian port on the Paci� c Ocean), Sakhalin Island (which is rich in oil and gas) and the � nancial o� ce in Khabarovski, Russia.

“Like any international business we are subject to ups and downs, but Russia is resource rich so they can pay to have large cargo shipped in,” Moe said.

TransNET brings cargo with sup-plies for the oil and gas business to Sakhalin Island, which is experi-encing an oil boom. Moe travels to

Russia at least twice a year to be on the ground with those employees.

� ey also do charters if a client has enough cargo to � ll an entire container vessel to one destina-tion. Moe said they are a non-asset based logistic company - in other words, they buy services for the client, so it’s a turn-key operation for the client.

So, it’s not necessary for Trans-NET to be, say, at the Port of Seattle. � e Moe family enjoys Issaquah, and feel fortunate to live and work in the community.

“We’re honored to be selected and recognized, especially in the relatively niche business we’re in,” Moe said.

Election Forum | 5th Legislative District

Question: Lake Sammamish State Park is run by the state, but a new funding strategy – selling park passes – has dramatically failed to meet the state parks budget. Without state funding, several parks could be closed. How will you approach this issue?

My preference would be to make the Discover Pass an opt-out program instead of an opt-in program when you renew your license tabs. � is still gives all citizens a chance to opt-out of supporting our parks, but the path of least resistance will

be to donate $30 to help keep our parks open for business.

One of the keys to managing growth is to bring the quality of life to urban centers. Lake Sammamish State Park gives us a great opportunity to create one of the best urban state parks in the country. During my time on the Issaquah City Council this has been a personal priority. I’m proud that we � nally secured funding from Olympia in 2012 to start restoration projects on the beaches in the park.

Improving our state parks will always be a personal priority for me in Olympia. A great state park system can be a valuable tourism asset, which can increase sales tax revenue in our state, thus providing a return on our park investments. We can improve our daily quality of life, while also making Washington state a more enticing place to visit during our amazing summer weather.

Question: Lake Sammamish State Park is run by the state, but a new funding strategy – selling park passes – has dramatically failed to meet the state parks budget. Without state funding, several parks could be

closed. How will you approach this issue?

Public access to our state parks is one of the valuable and enjoyable perks of liv-ing in Washington – but comes at a cost. A system of public/private development could address the day-to-day supervi-sion and park maintenance with income from very low-impact services such as information kiosks, ATMs, food service and hook-ups like those found in National Parks. Income for maintenance costs and capital investments could be achieved with support from port districts and public util-ity sponsorships. � e best source for funds would be to include the Discovery Pass – or something similar – in the state rec-reation vehicle license fee and boat trailer fees so that owners would be able to use state park facilities, marinas and launches at no-extra-cost. � ese options may o� er wide bene� t to the general public by in-cluding private-public partnerships.

Question: Lake Sammamish State Park is run by the state, but a new funding strategy – selling park passes – has dramatically failed to meet the state parks budget. Without state funding, several parks could be closed. How will you approach this issue?

I believe that parks, like schools, receive much better funding and atten-tion when under local control. I would propose remanding oversight of Lake Sammamish Park to a local park com-mission that would augment the limited state funding for Lake Sammamish Park with local funding and volunteer labor. Like the Adopt-A-Highway program, local community members and community service organizations like my Kiwanis club and my son’s JNROTC Unit, Key Club, or Honor Society could help maintain and beautify our local parks. � is approach has worked quite successfully for our local Mirrormont Community Association, which adopted an 11-acre park from King County Parks through a cooperative agree-ment with the King County Community Partnerships and Grants Program.

Question: Lake Sammamish State Park is run by the state, but a new funding strategy – selling park passes – has dramatically failed to meet the state parks budget. Without state funding, several parks could be closed. How will you approach this issue?

I would end the Park Pass program and restore full funding for all state parks – and

pay for this program the same way I would pay for restoring public school funding and higher education funding – by repealing the $45 billion per year our state gives away in unwise and unfair corporate tax breaks.

� is would not harm these wealthy corporations as they can deduct their state taxes from their federal taxes. For example, last year Microso� made a record $73 bil-lion in sales on which they made a record $23 billion in pro� t. Had they paid a nor-mal 1.5 percent business tax on their $73 billion in sales, they would have paid $1 billion in state taxes. Instead, by pretending that their products are made in Nevada, Microso� paid no state taxes.

� is loss of $1 billion in state revenue led directly to the � ring of thousands of teachers – and will soon lead to the closing of many state parks. It is time to roll back corporate tax breaks to what they were in 1996 – so that we can restore school funding, higher ed funding and state parks funding to what they were in 1996.

No matter what else the various can-didates at the Oct. 18 forum agreed or disagreed on, the resonating issue where they basically agreed was providing Wash-ington’s kids with a good education.

Candidates running for o� ce in legisla-tive districts 41 and 5, along with candidate Karen Porter� eld who is challenging Rep. Dave Reichert for the District 8 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, answered questions from the public at a candidate’s forum in the Issaquah city council cham-bers. Reichert did not attend the forum.

In response to written questions from the audience, Porter� eld said she supports a public option for health care, as well as the paycheck fairness.

“My sister works, I work,” she said. “If we don’t pay women what they’re worth - we’re moving backward.”

Porter� eld said Social Security is facing a challenge from the Baby Boom generation.

Health care costs are the problem with Medicare she said. Preventative health, or moving toward keeping people healthy should be the health focus.

In legislative races, one of the more contentious races is between Issaquah City Councilman Mark Mullet and Brad To� for state Senate in District 5. � e seat was vacated by Cheryl P� ug, who accepted a position in Olympia with the Washington State Growth Management Hearings Board.

“We’re in a seat that is getting a lot of attention statewide, and it makes me sick to my stomach,” Mullet said.

P� ug, a Republican, endorsed Mullet, leaving her party scrambling for a candi-date.

On the issue of teacher evaluations, Mul-let said he supports teacher accountability.

To� said there is a “tinge of hostility” with the issue, but said the goal should be to develop the teacher.

“Firing is expensive, so that shouldn’t be the goal,” To� said.

On health care, Mullet supports the a� ordable care act because the idea forces people to be responsible for their health.

To� believes the state does have a role to help the most vulnerable, but disagrees with Obamacare.

“I think the a� ordable care act is bad for the country and is a mistake,” To� said. Health care should be patient centric. It’s not wise to mandate health care”.

To� said he supports charter schools, adding that he doesn’t think any solution should be o� the table given the current condition of public education in Washing-ton state.

Earlier this year the state Supreme Court ruled that the state is not meeting its constitutional duty to provide a basic public education to all children in Wash-ington. � e ruling was a result of a lawsuit, McCleary v. State, which was brought by the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools (NEWS), a statewide coalition of community groups, public school districts, education organizations and Stephanie Mc-Cleary, who is the suit’s namesake.

Mullet said he was neutral on the issue of charter schools, stating they would solve only 20 percent of the problem.

When asked to identify their top issues, To� said number one is to end partisan bickering, to foster implementation of an orderly process for budgeting, and fully funding education.

Mullet identi� ed investment into educa-tion as number one, followed by transpor-tation and then facilitating business to be

BY KAITLIN GROVESKGROVES@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Candidates vying to represent the 41st Legisla-tive District presented their case for why they should be elected at a candidates forum Oct. 10 at Bellevue City Hall.

Position 1Tim Eaves, a Republican

engineer who has spent 15 years running a small business, said he’s challeng-ing Rep. Marcie Maxwell for the position because

he wants voters to be able to vote for a candidate who will represent the way they, “vote for their pocket books,” citing voter opposi-tion to a state income tax and favor for a two-thirds majority requirement to raise taxes.

Maxwell, a Realtor and banking branch manager, says that, if re-elected, she will continue to focus her work on business and education.

SenatorMaureen Judge, a Demo-

crat, is a marketing consul-tant and former Executive Director of the Washington Toxics Coalition where she pushed banning toxic chemicals from baby bottles, says that, if elected, she will be the candidate to represent education and women’s reproductive health.

Sen. Steve Litzow, a state senator since 2010 and former Mercer Island City Council member and 28-year business veteran, says that cutting non-education funding and keeping taxes properly aligned will be

major priorities, if he’s re-elected.

On education fund-ing, Litzow, the ranking Republican on the House Education Committee, emphasized the connection between the economy and the education system. “I don’t think there’s a better jobs program than a good education system,” he said.

Judge argued that the state should, “close tax loopholes and exemptions.”

Eaves said that, while he sees education as the paramount duty of the state, but added, “I do not

want to raise taxes,” to fund it. He would be interested in looking at solutions like a levy swap.

Maxwell said that the discussions are still in their early phases, and she’s still “seeking the best ideas.”

Regarding a state trans-portation package in the next legislative session, Maxwell said “People need transportation choices.”

Eaves said that transpor-tation is a basic necessity. “I need the ability for goods to come to my business,” and he would support the right transportation package.

Judge suggested pushing people to use alternative means of transportation, like bikes, rather than cars.

Litzow says that the state needs to focus on � xing the existing projects that it has already started, like the “$2 billion hole to � nish the 520 bridge.”

Rep. Judy Clibborn, who is running unopposed for Position 2, said said that a package should be support-ed because, “if you want a new project, you need new revenue,” and the existing gas tax is tied up in other projects.

Candidates from the 45th Legislative District participated in a voters’ forum Oct. 15 at the Woodmark Hotel with debate on their paramount duty – how to adequately fund education during the next biennium.

The event was hosted by the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary of Kirkland. Also at the forum were candidates from the 48th District.

About 50 attendees attended the forum which featured in-cumbent Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland) and Republican Joel Hussey of Redmond for Position 1, and incumbent Rep. Larry Springer (D-Kirkland) and Republican Jim Thatcher of Redmond for Position 2.

Education drew questions and the attention of many of the candidates because of a decision last January by the Washington State Supreme Court – Mc-Cleary v. State – which deter-mined that the Legislature was not fully funding education.

“It is our paramount duty to fund education first. Gov-ernment is larger than we can currently afford,” Thatcher said. “Once we’ve funded schools,

then we can take money to fund other programs.”

The Legislature is looking at an additional $4.1 billion that Randy Dorn, superintendent of public instruction, requested for

the 2013-2015 biennial budget.In last year’s McCleary deci-

sion, the state Supreme Court ordered the state to achieve full state funding of basic education by 2018.

Springer noted that the $4.1 billion has to come from some-where and that legislators need to work together in bipartisan-ship or they won’t be “getting out of this mess.”

When the audience asked what funding candidates would cut as a way to come up with the $4.1 billion for education, Springer, although adamantly in favor of higher education, said funds would be taken from higher education or human ser-vices because they are the two “biggest expenses.”

“Higher education is the ve-hicle to getting out of poverty,” he said. “We need to build upon it, not cut (it).”

While all agreed on the bene-fit of charter schools, Goodman pointed out that the current ini-tiative (I-1240) to bring charter schools to Washington doesn’t have much public accountabil-ity and he was concerned about the measure’s lack of school boards.

“They only do better by 17 percent,” he added.

One woman asked if the can-didates supported Referendum 74 that would legalize same-sex marriage. Democrats Goodman and Springer raised their hands in approval, while Republicans Hussey and Thatcher did not.

successful.Each candidate got to ask the other a

question. To� asked Mullet about special interests, to which Mullet responded that just because a group or individual supports him monetarily, he would not let it a� ect his decisions.

Mullet asked To� why he didn’t meet with the Washington Teacher’s Association.

“Teachers unions need to stop lashing out at those who want education reform,” To� said.

In the race for District 5 representa-tive, Position 2, Issaquah School Board president Chad Magendanz faces educator David Spring.

Magendanz supports the 2/3 majority by the Legislature to raise taxes; Spring does not. Spring also doesn’t support charter schools.

“I’ve actually walked in these charter schools,” Magendanz said. “I admit I was on the fence with charter schools, but they’re bringing a whole new innovation to education.”

In the District 41 race for state Senate, incumbent Steve Litzow, a Republican, squared o� with political newcomer Mau-reen Judge, a Democrat. Both candidates have backgrounds in technology.

Judge said the Legislature needs to be very clear on McCleary, closing tax loop-holes and emphasizing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Litzow, who sits on the board that is reviewing McCleary, said K-12 funding is

de� nitely a priority over higher education. When asked what services they would

protect from cuts in the upcoming session, Litzow said education would be his prior-ity. Judge basically agreed, adding that she would protect some of the key social issues such as care for the elderly and mentally ill.

Judge also wants to review tax loopholes to see who or what is getting the big tax breaks. Litzow said there are 14 tax exemp-tions right now that have “outlived their usefulness.”

To reduce waste, Litzow said there are about 3,500 engineers too many employed by the state. Judge wants to go a� er people who “game” the system.

On teacher evaluations, Litzow said they should be uniform statewide. Judge said it’s also important to look at economic issues, such as kids who come to school hungry or on little to no sleep due to less than desir-able home conditions.

Last up were incumbent Marcie Maxwell, a Democrat, and Republican newcomer Tim Eaves, both vying for state representa-tive, Position 1 in the 41st. district.

Regarding Bellevue College expand-ing to Issaquah, Eaves said that without prosperity returning to the state “I don’t see expanding Bellevue College as a priority.”

On the question of tolling, Maxwell stressed the importance of transportation for local businesses, while Eaves said he prefers user fees to fund transportation, and does not support tolling on I-90.

Both candidates support fulling funding basic public education.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is fi lled by what you see: mountains on every horizon—rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts. Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky. Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defi es description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because fi nding it brings a fortune in fun. You’ll know that after your fi rst run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one? Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering. Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and off -piste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt. Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also fi nd friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food. Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that fi rst turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold. SKI IT TO BELIEVE IT.com

By KAITLIN GROVESReporter NewspapersDon’t tell 77-year-old Judy Wolcott that you’re depressed about getting older. � e 39-year Woodridge resident overheard someone say that recently and, “I was just as � erce as I could be,” she said, lowering her eyebrows and crinkling her nose to make a ferocious face, as she recalled the conversation. “I said, ‘Don’t you ever say that again! Just think about the alternative!’ “Wolcott has thought about the alternative - death - during three bouts with cancer which, she says, have given her, “friendships and a zest for staying alive.” She got her � rst cancer diagnosis in July of 1993, when she was in her 60s. Before the colonoscopy, the doctor said, “You’re too young to get colon cancer,” Wolcott remembers. “� en, a� erward, he came back in and said, ‘Guess what. You’re not too young.’ ” Wolcott was determined to survive, she said, because she really wanted to see her grandchildren. “Little did I know, I wasn’t going to get any grandchildren,” she added with a laugh. Survival meant cancer treatment and a surgery to remove, “gooey black stu� ,” from her colon. A scene from Wolcott’s childhood kept running through her mind before that � rst surgery. She had fallen in her neighbor’s driveway and badly scraped her knee. � ere was blood everywhere, and a pebble had gotten stuck in her knee. Someone took it out for her. Wolcott connected the cancer with the pebble - it was inside her, and it needed to come out, somehow.Following the surgery and a double dose of treatment for six months, it did - she was cancer free. But it didn’t last. In May of 2006, she got breast cancer from taking hormones associated with her � rst cancer treatment. � at seemed like “a non-event,” compared with the colon cancer, though - which came back in Dec. 2008.

Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Collecting Birthdays

Wolcott is now cancer free again, and she says she plans to live to be 120-years-old – because, she insists, she likes “collecting birthdays,” not because she’s afraid of death. She sees life as an adventure, she says, and wants hers to last as long as possible. “(Death) is all part of the adventure, because no one really knows for sure what’s

on the other side - whether it’s nothing or something better,” she says.She thinks, though, that the adventure ends at death, and she wants to postpone that for as long as possible. To help her do that, Wolcott has a weekly � tness ritual that includes a wide variety of activities from bowling to dragon boat paddling.

She does most of that � tness routine with other cancer survivors through Team Survivor Northwest, a Seattle-based � tness group for women who have survived cancer. “� ere’s no good reason to get cancer,” Wolcott says, “but there was a wonderful result – the friendships I’ve made from being in this organization. � ey’re just amazing.” She once told a friend, “I’d never wish cancer on anyone, but I wish you could go on these Nordic walks with us.”� e friends she’s made through her cancer have been a bit like a sorority, she said. � is sense of sisterhood was reinforced by attending Komen Puget Sound’s Survivor’s Celebration last September.She remembers slowly shu� ing to the shower with so little energy that she could barely put one foot in front of the other. � e phone rang. She answered it, and a voice on the other line very seriously said, “Have you planned your funeral?” “� at’s funny,” Wolcott replied. “No, it’s not,” the lady said. Wolcott still thinks it is, but it’s the sortof thing that people with cancer might under-stand and feel more free to laugh about. “� ere’s a whole di� erent outlook once you’ve had cancer and survived,” she said.

By kevin endejan kendejan@issasqwuahrepoter.com

The following informa-tion was compiled from the Sammamish police reports:

STRanGe deviCeA Sammamish woman

called police Oct. 19 to re-port a suspicious device she found in the front yard of her home in the 22000 block of Southeast 27th Street

The woman initially moved the device into her garage, but decided to call 911 after she realized it was larger than most fireworks. When police arrived they found a thick cardboard tube about the size of a toilet paper role, but much thicker. A red clay-like sub-stance was plugged into one end and a string was looped through a hole on the other side. The bomb disposal unit was notified and identified the object as a benign mor-tar without powder.

BOTCHed THeFTA manager at a Sam-

mamish drug store called police Oct. 17 to report a customer stealing a knee brace, putting it on in the

store and walking out. When police contacted the man, the 57-year-old Issaquah man admitted to taking the $51 knee brace, but disputed stealing it.

The man remained cooperative and returned the item to the store. Police released the man who could face charges of theft in the third degree.

eLdeRLY aTTaCkA caretaker called police

on a 90-year-old Samma-mish woman who repeat-edly slapped and clawed at her while she was driving the woman to the grocery store on Oct. 19.

The elderly woman grabbed at the steering wheel causing the driver to pull the emergency brake to stop the car. When police arrived, they advised the elderly woman that she needed to calm down, which she eventually did. The caretaker refused to press charges, but wanted the incident documented so other caretakers would be aware of the woman’s behavior.

eXTORTiOn FaiLA Sammamish man

contacted police Oct. 16 after someone attempted to extort money from him over the phone.

The man said he received a call from a man in Penn-sylvania who claimed to be a state investigator and ac-cused him of fraud, tax eva-sion and money laundering. The person on the other end of the phone said he needed a check for $450 or the man would be arrested.

The Sammamish man requested documentation in the investigation against him and the caller hung up.

Police discovered the number the man called from showed up in various internet searches as a phone scam.

UnRULY TenanTA manager at a Samma-

mish apartment complex called police Oct. 17 to report threats made by a tenant.

The manager said she recently served the tenant a notice to vacate and that person has since called and started arguments and made threats.

The manager didn’t want the tenant to get in trouble, but to be talked to by police.

When contacted, the tenant said she was upset because she was paid up for the rest of the year and had been documenting things like black mold and other hazards. She said she was going to take the complex to the “Supreme Court.”

Bank FRaUdA Sammamish couple

contacted police Oct. 19 to report money falsely withdrawn from their bank account.

The couple had their home broken into earlier in the year and recently no-ticed large sums of money taken from their account.

Someone in Illinois with-drew $4,500 and another person made two separate withdrawls of $2,500 and $2,350 in Portland, Ore.

Police are investigating.

OFFiCe THeFTPolice responded to the

call of money missing from a lockbox of a Sammamish optometrist on Oct. 18.

When closing, an em-ployee noticed $120 in cash missing from the box.

The business isn’t equipped with video surveillance and all three employees denied commit-ting the theft.

According to the report, the owner was hoping to identify the thief so she could find out who was not trustworthy and fire that employee.

YES on 1240 Will Give More Washington

Students A Chance To SucceedInitiative 1240 will allow up to 40 public charter schools in Washington state over the next five years. Charter schools are public schools that are free and open to all students, with the same teacher certification requirements and academic standards as traditional public schools, and funded based on

student enrollment just like other public schools. However, charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, which is especially important for students who are not succeeding in traditional schools. Please join us in voting YES on 1240.

“Public charter schools across the country have a proven track record of helping students succeed, especially those at risk of falling through the cracks. Initiative 1240 brings the best of what works in other states to Washington.“

Dr. Sam SmithFormer PresidentWashington State University

“As a public school teacher, I’m a strong believer in public education. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240, to allow public charter schools in Washington. Charter schools give teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of our students… and more options to help them succeed.”

Chris EidePublic School Teacher andCo-Founder, Teachers United

“I’ve studied public charter schools across the country, and I support a YES vote on 1240. Initiative 1240 is a well-written law that requires strict accountability and annual performance reviews. And 1240 ensures that public funding stays with public schools– following students just as it does now.”

Professor Paul T. Hill, Ph.D.University of WashingtonFounder, Center on ReinventingPublic Education

“As a proud graduate of Tacoma Public Schools, an advocate for public education and an elected official who cares deeply about our city and state’s future, I urge you to join me and cast your vote for Initiative 1240.”

“As a parent of two young children, I understand that every child learns differently. I-1240 provides Washington parents more options to find the best learning environment for our children.”

“Public charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, especially students who aren’t succeeding in traditional public school settings. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240.”

and where is your studio located?,” Proby said. “I said, ‘My studio is in a loft in my house, it’s a little cor-ner. It’s nothing to look at, it’s practically a little closet.”

Now, three years after delving back in to the art world, Proby is enjoying every minute.

“I probably paint 2-4 hours a day most days of the week,” he said. “It is pure joy.”

He is celebrating his first public art display at the Issaquah Pogacha. Two-dozen of his oil canvases are covering the walls until Nov. 9. The items will then move onto the Bellevue Pogacha Nov. 10 to Jan. 5.

Sarah Barnes, the event dining and banquet manager at Pogacha, has her office located near one of the hallways where the work is on display and said she hears comments all the time.

“I’ve only heard a really good response to the work,” she said.

Proby believes it’s his uniqueness that draws viewers in. All his works are done on oil canvases, but he has moved beyond just rowers. He still does portraits and landscapes, but also works in abstrac-tions, expressionism and pointillism — a variation in style few artists take on.

“For me it’s just the joy of creating and doing the art and experimenting,” Proby said.

Those freedoms exist for the local artist in large part because he’s not looking to use his art as a revenue stream. Since starting three years ago, he’s created 45 pieces. He’s done a few commissioned pieces and sold a few to neighbors, but even with the potential for a high financial reward, Proby is hesitant to create a website or submit works to galleries.

“It is escapism,” he said. “It’s just really therapeutic and fulfilling in a way I never realized it could be.”

Of course, Proby still gets to golf, fish and travel, but if he has any advice to pass on to future retirees, it’s to keep an open mind.

“Life after work — you never know where it’s going to take you,” he said.

Puget Sound Energy crews and emergency re-sponders have taken steps to ready if high winds and heavy rain batter the region.

“While the sun was shin-ing these past few months, our crews were busy trim-ming trees, working on reli-ability projects and getting ready for winter,” said Andy Wappler, PSE vice president of corporate affairs.

Although the National Weather Service predicts an El Nino weather pattern, which typically results in a mild mid-to-late winter with warmer and drier weather than average, the phenomenon has little impact on reducing the number of fall and early winter storms.

More than 250 PSE personnel recently took part in the utility’s annual “mock storm” exercises. The series of drills required crews to simulate all aspects of response to a major, wide-spread storm, from assessing damaged electrical systems and dispatching line crews to coordinating with local emergency-service agencies.

While effective, well-planned storm response is vital, Wappler said, equally critical is the work PSE does throughout the year to harden its energy-delivery infrastructure. PSE invests more than $100 million per year to maintain its electric system and enhance equip-ment reliability. The effort includes such things as:

• Trimming or removing trees that are threatening to come into contact with power lines. In all, PSE trims approximately 1,110 miles of high-voltage transmis-sion line and 1,900 miles of distribution lines annually across its nine-county elec-tric service area.

• Strategically replacing overhead power lines with specially coated “tree wire” that is less prone to power outages if a tree branch falls into the line.

• Upgrading substations and replacing aged trans-formers, fuses, breakers, power poles and other electrical equipment.

• Replacing overhead power lines in outage-prone areas with underground cable.

ISSAQUAH-/SAM

MAMISH-

Eastlake, led by the sev-enth place finish of junior

Jordan Oldenburg, ended the KingCo 4A meet in sec-ond place on the boys side, just behind rival Redmond.

Kyle Suver was 13th for Eastlake and Caleb Olson

was 16th. Keegan Symmes ended

the day just off the pace for Skyline, earning a second place finish with a time of 15 minutes, 32.3 seconds.

Grant Uselman was 14th for the Spartans, which will take a full squad to the Bi-District meet.

Hunter Sapienza finished 25th for Issaquah and fresh-man Kennan Schrag will also head to Bi-Districts for the Eagles.

Sophomore Cayla Selig-man was the highest finisher for Issaquah on the girls side, in seventh place as the Eagles finished just one point behind third place Eastlake.

Anastasia Kosykh was 15th for Eastlake, just ahead of teammate Olivia Latham. Devon Bortfield was 19th for the Wolves.

Skyline freshman Maizy Brewer was 28th to lead the Spartans.

Wolves’ boys run to second place finish

It is perhaps the most pervasive phrase in sports: Keep your eye on the ball.

Whether hitting a baseball, catching a football or taking a

swing on the tennis court, maintaining a laser-like focus on the ball is transferable through most all sports (dribbling a basketball be-ing the notable exception) and most often, one of the most critical funda-

mentals.That is especially on the golf

course, but don’t tell Pat Beecher. For the past four years Beecher,

an Everett resident and Army veteran, has been losing his sight. A combination of ocular condi-tions distort his perspective and choke his depth perception, but neither has been able to dissuade his spirit.

Thanks, at least in part, to golf. Beecher is by no means a

seasoned pro; he only took up the game six months ago at the urging of his cohorts during a stay at the VA hospital near Tacoma. Many of them - despite injuries and conditions typical among those who have served our country in the armed forces - found the golf course a natural setting to unload stress, find camaraderie and per-haps most importantly, regain the active lifestyle that defined them

pre-injury. For Beecher, the opportunity to

learn a new game couldn’t have come at a better time.

“I would sit in front my com-

puter playing solitaire and that was it,” he said. “Once they taught me how to golf, I got out and started meeting people. It made me come alive.”

The trips to a driving range near his home fostered his enjoy-ment of the game and its many challenges, which are of course multiplied by his eyesight.

But other than a few special tees that help him feel the depth he is teeing the ball at and a viewfinder to clear his view downrange (only slightly), there is nothing out of the ordinary about Beecher’s game.

He was one of several indi-viduals with disabilities who had a chance to put it on display in a golf tournament and fund-raiser hosted by Bellevue-based non-profit Elder and Adult Day Services (EADS).

“We wanted to do something that raises money and creates an opportunity for people with disabilities that they wouldn’t nor-mally have,” said Jeff Bradt, CEO of EADS. “For many, this was their first opportunity to play in a real golf tournament alongside other people.”

For Beecher, it was more of a reminder of all that is still possible.

He plans to continue making trips to the driving range and course whenever a friend or fam-ily member can take him.

“I still have my grandkids, there is plenty to do,” he said. “Just be-cause you don’t have 20/20 vision, life still goes on.”

BY SAMANTHA PAKREDMOND REPORTER

� e year was 1995 and a 68-year-old Doris Bond had taken a trip to Italy as part of a mountaineering group.

A widow of 11 years at that point, the now 84-year-old had traveled by herself and was not looking to meet or become romantically involved with anyone.

“Some people look for people,” Bond said. “I wasn’t.”

But then she met Frank King, who was also a member of the moun-taineering group, and everything changed.

“We were together a� er three days,” she said.

Bond loved King’s personality, saying that he was always helpful. She said they also discovered they enjoyed the same things, describing those initial encounters as “magic.”

As for King, who was 67 at the time, Bond said his reaction to her was a little di� erent, but no less positive.

“He fell in love with my brown legs,” she said with a laugh.

� e couple didn’t marry but they remained together until King died on Oct. 2 — about a week and a half a� er their 17th anniversary on Sept. 21 — a� er battling a number of health issues for several years. He was 83.

While Bond met King in a foreign country halfway around the world, she soon learned a� er that initial meeting that they were both from the Redmond-Sammamish area and “lived � ve miles apart.”

With the Eastside as their home base, the couple spent a dozen or so years traveling around the world, visiting about 60 countries. Among their favorite places to visit were Ireland, Africa and India, Bond said.

A number of the couple’s adven-

tures are recorded in “Travels With Doris: Without Reservations,” a travel book King wrote, which be-gins with their � rst meeting in Italy.

As the name of the book implies, Bond and King never made res-ervations for hotels or tours when they traveled. She said they liked to meet locals and see their countries through the locals’ eyes.

“One night (in Guatemala), we thought we were going to have to sleep in a barn,” she said. “But (a� er meeting some of the locals) we

ended up in a beautiful grass hut.”Bond said sign language played a

large role in their travels.“� e people all over the world had

open arms,” she said. “I just loved the friendliness and the warmth everybody had.”

King wrote several other books about traveling in his later years on his own, as well, and o� en did readings and talks at the Red-mond Library, which were put on by McDonald’s Book Exchange in Redmond.

While Bond enjoyed the world’s kindness, McDonald’s owner Anne St. Germain had similar things to say about Bond and King them-selves.

“He was so friendly and so open,” she said. “� at’s just the way they are.”

St. Germain said she recently visited King, and although he had battled a number of health issues — including heart problems, diabetes and kidney failure — it was easy to forget this while talking with him. He wouldn’t allow his failing health to get in the way of what he wanted to do if he couldn’t help it, she said, adding that he even once convinced his doctor that a trip to Africa would help him recover from a recent surgery.

Bond said King’s doctor described his heart as the worst heart he’d ever seen in a living patient. She said it was King’s “will to live” that kept him going as long as he did.

“He was a very strong and won-derful person,” Bond said. “Oh gosh, I can’t believe he’s gone.”

In an emergency, seconds count. Making sure 9-1-1 call-takers and emergency responders have all the infor-mation they need can mean the difference between life and death. To assist in this critical task, King County is launching “Smart911,” a supplemental data service that allows residents to create a personal safety profile in a secure database. That information can then be used to assist 9-1-1 call-takers and responders in the field.

“With this new tool, 9-1-1 call-takers can locate call-ers and send help to the right place more efficiently,” said King County Executive dow Constantine. “It’s especially effective for users of cell phones, whose locations cannot be pinpointed as they can with landlines.”

Smart911 is free to every resident of King County, and registration is voluntary. To create a safety profile, users go to a secure website, www.Smart911.com. Then, they enter their phone numbers, as well as address, medical, disability, or other information that could be useful to emergency personnel.

When a call comes in to a 9-1-1 center from a Smart911-registered phone, the additional data is dis-played at the 9-1-1 call center. The information also can be accessed by medics, firefighters, and police officers responding to the emergency.

Today, about 70 percent of 9-1-1 calls are made from wireless phones. However, wireless phones only provide the general location of a caller, not their exact address. With Smart911, people can put their home, school, and work addresses into the safety profile as-sociated with their wireless phone. These addresses will assist 9-1-1 call-takers in locating callers when lives are at stake.

Smart911 is particularly useful for people with dis-abilities. For example, if someone who is deaf or hard of hearing is registered, the 9-1-1 call-taker will be able to see that information when a call comes in.

“Today people who are deaf must contact 9-1-1 through video relay service, which takes a long time,” said Laura Gramer, co-chair of the Seattle Commission for People with disabilities. “Smart911 will allow people who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate directly with 9-1-1, saving valuable time in an emergency.”

For more information about Smart911, visit www.Smart911.com. For more information about the King County E-911 program, visit www.kingcounty.gov/911.

Eastside StoryWhat’s happening in nearby cities

Snoqualmie Valley farmers, gleaners and volunteers have come together to fight hunger in the Snoqualmie Val-ley. Sno-Valley Harvest, a gleaning program of Rotary First Harvest and Hopelink, partners with farms and local food banks to bring fresh produce to families who need it. Since its inception last December, more than 70 Sno-Valley Harvest gleaners have gathered more than 6,500 pounds of produce — 300 alone from Oxbow Farms. Gleaned produce goes to nine different food banks in the area, including the the Issaquah Food Bank.

Two formerly empty storefronts in down-

town Snoqualmie are now drawing interest in local arts and the downtown as temporary art galleries. The transformation followed a talk between the Sno-qualmie Arts Commission and Snoqualmie-based MK Property Services, LLC to boost Snoqualmie as an artistic community.

American Legion Post 199 will honor Korean War veterans in a celebra-tion, 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28, at the post, 31951 E. Bird St., Carnation.All local Korean War vets, men and women, are invited, as are others who would like to honor them. Residents are encouraged to bring family and friends, especially the younger generation.
