Th e Lake Washington School District (LWSD) announced that it plans to conduct an internal search as its fi rst step to fi nding a new superintendent.

Th e LWSD board of directors made the decision to stay local in its search to replace outgoing superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball, who will be leaving the district at the end of the school year to take a similar position in Singapore.

“Most of the time, if a school district does an external search, the likelihood of an internal candidate applying is slim to none,” said board president Jackie Pendergrass. “Th e culture of K-12 education is that it’s much harder to go back to a position if they are not considered or selected.”

Th e LWSD board will begin con-ducting initial interviews for internal candidates and name any possible preferred internal candidates at its Dec. 5 meeting.

If an internal candidate is selected, a process for the community to meet the candidate and provide feedback will be determined, according to LWSD com-munication director Kathryn Reith. If the board determines that no appropriate in-ternal candidate is available, it will discuss the timeline and next steps for an external search and recruitment, Reith said.

Pendergrass added that it has been past practice in the district to review internal candidates fi rst and then proceed to an external search if there was no appropriate internal candidate or candidates.

Th e search for a new superintendent comes as the district is in the middle of a major initiative, changing its grade confi guration, that will aff ect every

Dozens of people packed the Redmond City Hall lobby Nov. 17 to learn more about the future of the city’s transportation systems and provide city staff with their feedback.

Th e meeting addressed the city’s Trans-portation Master Plan (TMP) for the next 20 years through 2030 and was the third in a series of public meetings during the last year.

City of Redmond transportation services

manager Don Cairns said he and his team have come up with a buildout plan or “needs list” based on input from the com-munity and stakeholders as well as Mayor John Marchione and City Council’s vision for Redmond.

While hundreds of candidate projects are part of the buildout plan, there are few big-ticket items that take priority.

DOWNTOWN CONVERSIONCairns said a major one is completing the

conversion of Redmond Way and Cleveland

Street downtown from one-way to two-way streets, which requires more than just painting the center lines a diff erent color and installing more traffi c signals.

Th ere are a number of pieces that need to be put in place in order for the puzzle to be complete. Cairns said the fi rst piece is completing the street grid, the main part of which is the fi nal extension piece of 161st Avenue Northeast from Cleveland Street to Bear Creek Parkway. Other pieces include widening sidewalks throughout downtown,

New information from the public led Bellevue po-lice to expand the search for 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, who has been missing for

more than two weeks.Police on Saturday

closed Kirkland's Water-shed Park. Th ey scoured the park for much of the day and brought several items in for forensic analy-sis. But this lead, like many others in the case, turned out to be a dead end, said Bellevue Police spokeswom-an Offi cer Carla Iafrate.

Th e search came a day af-ter police released a new set

of photos of Sky's mother Julia Biryukova showing her in a grey sweatsuit, which police said she may

have been wearing Nov. 6, the day the boy disap-peared.

New images of the boy show him with short brown hair. Police said these images are closer representations of what the mother and son look like now.

In another development, a report surfaced Monday that Biryukova may have been involved in an e-mail

exchange with an ABC News reporter over the weekend. According to reports, Biryukova e-mailed the reporter that Solomon Metalwala had something to do with the boy's disap-pearance.

"ABC shared those e-mails with police, which were passed on to detec-tives to determine if there are any investigative value to them," said Iafrate. "(It

is) unknown if e-mails are actually from Julia."

Police say they are still trying to pin down the sequence of events that led to Sky's disappearance.

Biryukova told police her car ran out of gas that morning of Nov. 6, as she was attempting to take the boy to the hospital. She left the car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast with Sky still in the car. When she returned to the car approximately an hour later, he was gone.

Bellevue police Maj. Mike Johnson said police have narrowed the investi-gation from earlier claims that no one had seen the boy in two weeks. He would not disclose when someone last saw the boy.

Th e focus of the inves-tigation has not strayed throughout the process.

Police have conducted multiple interviews with people involved. Th ey thoroughly searched and researched the area where the boy disappeared and spots near Biryukova's Redmond downtown apart-ment. Th ey've examined and returned the Acura In-tegra Biryukova borrowed from her brother to take the boy to the hospital. Johnson said the investigation has "taken us around the globe," but police believe the key to the investigation lies in this area.

Th e boy's father, Solo-mon Metalwala, has also continued to search for Sky.

Johnson continued to show police's frustration with Biryukova, who still has not met with investiga-tors since the night the boy disappeared. Johnson said many holes remain in her story. Th ey've continued to reach out to her, but haven't decided to arrest her.

"It's a tactical, strategic, legal decision that is some-thing we are considering, but not something we are willing to pull the trigger on yet," Johnson said.

Police have now received more than 1,200 tips from the public.

"We encourage everyone who may have information to contact our tip line," Johnson said. "Don't won-der whether or not your information is relevant, let us make that decision."

Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact police using the tip line at (425) 452-2564 or e-mail [email protected].

street-scaping, redoing intersections and installing proper traffi c signals and creating proper drainage systems.

Cairns said once the two-way conversions are com-plete, Redmond Way will be a three-lane thoroughfare with a middle left -turn lane. Cleveland Street will have two lanes with no left -turn lanes. He said both streets will have street parking on both sides of the road.

“We’re trying to maxi-mize the street parking throughout the downtown,” Cairns said.

He estimates the remain-ing cost of this project to be about $20 million.

ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION

Th e conversions as well as the street grid will make it easier to get around for all users. Th is is something Dan Werr and Shannon Kilpatrick can appreciate. As downtown residents, they like living in a mixed-use area and being able to walk wherever they need — whether it’s to go to work, buy groceries or go out to eat.

“I just think having all of that stuff right here is really important,” Kilpatrick said.

Both she and Werr at-tended last week’s commu-nity meeting because they thought it was important to see the city’s long-term plans for transportation and make sure they like the direction things are going.

“Because we both live here and want to live here long term,” Werr explained.

Being able to walk around town is also im-portant to Yvonne Wang, who attended last week’s meeting as a representative of Sustainable Redmond, a grassroots organization whose mission is to encour-age sustainability within the city through its citizens, businesses and local gov-ernment.

Th e Bear Creek resident said it is important for the City of Redmond’s trans-portation system provides

options for people who choose to get around in other ways than a car, which is why she attended the meeting.

“I hope that people are willing to get out of their car and to focus on traveling by other means,” said Wang, who uses public transporta-tion on a regular basis.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NORTH

Cairns said another major project for the City of Redmond is improving and developing Northeast 116th Street in north Redmond ultimately from Redmond-Woodinville Road North-east to Avondale Road Northeast.

Th is project has many parts to it. Cairns said they want to keep the two-lane country road a two-lane road in some areas, but plan to add a third left -turn lane in some areas. Th e project will also include landscap-ing, adding medians, bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road.

Additionally, Cairns said they would also like to

build a trail along the road as well — some of which has already been built.

Like the downtown proj-ect, the Northeast 116th Street improvements are estimated to cost about $20 million.

OVERLAKE RELIEFTh e fi nal big-ticket

project Cairns said the city has ahead is building an of-framp from State-Route 520 to 152nd Avenue Northeast.

Th is project would be a collaboration with WSDOT and is estimated to cost about $61 million. How-ever, Cairns said funding would come from both the city and the state since it is a joint project.

Th e off ramp would help divert traffi c from the Northeast 40th Street exit, which is a major point of congestion.

“Th at’s really key to help with congestion today,” Cairns said.

He added that future plans of developing the Overlake neighborhood will only add more traffi c to the area.

E D I T O R I A L

If you haven't started your holiday shopping, you might

want to hold on to your wallet.

Gov. Chris Gregoire wants the state to dig deeper into

your pocket to help bail-out the state budget.

Gregoire's plan is two-fold:

1. Boost the sales tax by a half-cent, and

2. Have it "sunset" in three years.

We have two concerns with that:

1. It's another half-cent tax on what already is nearly (.095)

a 10 percent tax on just about every dollar you spend, and

2. Does anyone really expect that a tax, once in place, will

ever go away?

Gregoire says her new tax would bring in close to $500

million annually and be largely used to help fund education.

Before you applaud, recall that this is the same person who

just recently proposed cutting your kid's school year by four

days. Apparently schools – and our kids' education – is only

important if we pay more for it.

Gregoire, of course, knows the fallacy in this. The state

constitution says clearly that education is the paramount duty

of the state. It doesn't say anything about having to raise taxes

to do this. The state may or may not need an extra $500 million,

but schools aren't the place you cut when money is tight.

That's the same problem with her earlier plan to cut the

school year by four days. Doing so would save the state $99

million in the 2012-13 school year by not having to pay

teachers for those four days. But that also means that our kids

get cheated out of four days of instruction.

Does anyone really think our kids can get by with LESS

education?

We understand that the state faces some tough fi nancial

questions.

Legislators are due back in Olympia on Monday to deal

with a $2 billion hole in the state's budget.

But that doesn't mean that higher taxes are – or ought

to be – the fi rst choice for a solution. After all, it's not as if

taxpayers' money is burning a hole in their pockets. Quite the

opposite.

Consumer prices in the Seattle area have risen 3.8 percent

over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor

Statistics. At the same time, take-home pay for people

around here has gone up 1.7 percent. Do the math and you'll

see we're falling behind.

Drive to work? You're even worse off . The price of gasoline

in the Seattle area is up 26 percent since last year, according

to the U.S. Department of Labor. And that means energy

prices are up 16.5 percent.

Washingtonians currently pay the second-highest price

per gallon at the pump ($3.67) in the lower 48 states, behind

only California. There are more – lots more – things that cost

more today than they did in October 2010.

We're not saying the task facing the Legislature is an easy

one. Far from it. But higher taxes should only be considered

as a last resort. The state isn't there yet.

Higher sales tax not answer to budget woes

On Monday, Wash-ington’s Legislature will convene for a

special session in Olympia to fi gure out how to close another depressingly large budget shortfall. Unlike the federal government, the state is required by law to maintain a balanced budget – and the budget that the Legislature ap-proved several months ago assumed that revenues would be higher than they have been.

Since actual revenue didn’t match projected revenue, we once again have a defi cit that needs to be closed. Earlier this month, Gov.Chris Gregoire unveiled her initial “all cuts” plan for dealing with the defi cit. Th at initial proposal would more accurately be termed the Let’s Destroy Washington budget, because most of it is concerned with completely dismantling or destroying vital public services that Washingtonians rely on.

Washington cannot aff ord what Gov. Gregoire is proposing. What we’ve all got to remember is that eviscerating vital public services doesn’t just hurt the people who de-pend on those services. It hurts all of us. When services are eviscer-

ated, it means that public workers have to be laid off . When public workers are laid off , unemployment goes up, consumer spend-ing falls, and revenue from consumption taxes falls.

It’s a vicious cycle that will slowly but surely destroy our

communities and our livelihood.We have to stop it.Gov. Gregoire has just proposed

“buying back” some of the services her plan puts on the chopping block by raising the state sales tax by half a penny. Th at would be better than destroying services like Disability Lifeline or Basic Health, but there are better revenue alternatives.

What the Legislature ought to con-sider doing is putting several propos-als for raising or recovering revenue on the ballot. Secretary of State Sam Reed’s offi ce says that holding a spe-cial election in March is already going to cost $8 million. Since holding a statewide election will require that we print and mail ballots plus voters’ pamphlets to our state’s 3,662,026 registered voters anyway, why not give the people of Washington several options to choose from?

Here are a few possibilities:

close outdated and unnecessary tax loopholes, like the exemption Wall Street banks currently enjoy on the in-terest of fi rst mortgages, the exemption for elective cosmetic surgery, the ex-emption for private jets, or the sales tax exemption for out of state shoppers. Ending just these four tax expenditures alone would restore tens of millions of dollars to our common wealth – and there are dozens upon dozens more we could consider sunsetting.

approve a small increase in the state’s property tax levy (which is already dedicated to education) to cancel out destructive cuts that would harm our public schools. Th e property tax, un-like the sales tax, isn’t tied to consump-tion, so it’s a more dependable source of revenue. Voters have repeatedly shown a willingness to raise property taxes at the local level to help fund

the statewide levy could help us avoid shortening the school year and avoid gutting levy equalization.

simplify and streamline our complicat-ed and arcane business and occupation tax, which is riddled with exemptions that benefi t some companies at the expense of others. Reforming the busi-ness and occupation tax would make

our tax system fairer and provide a reasonably-sized revenue boost.

Raising the sales tax, as the gov-ernor has proposed doing, should be the very last option considered — not the fi rst.

Not only is the sales tax regres-sive, it’s unreliable. If consumer spending in Washington ends up falling in the short run, then sales tax revenue will fall as well, putting us right back where we started.

What’s more, the total sales tax that most Washingtonians pay is already pretty high. Th e sales tax on a $5 footlong from a Puget Sound area sandwich shop is already around 45 cents. On a $10 purchase, the sales tax is nearly a dollar.

We do need to raise revenue to break the vicious cycle of austerity that we’re trapped in as a state. But we need to do so thoughtfully.

Th e Legislature should consider other ideas, including the ones I’ve outlined above, before doing anything with Governor Gregoire’s proposal.Andrew Villeneuve, a 2005 Redmond High graduate, is the founder and executive director of the Northwest Progressive Institute, a Redmond-based grassroots organization.

Redmond residents and visitors planning to attend the 13th annual Redmond Lights celebration can expect to see the return of many yearly traditions as well as a number of new and expanded activities,

including a kickoff for the city’s Centennial celebra-tion in 2012.

Redmond Lights will be Dec. 3 from 4 to 8 p.m. and many of the event’s fes-tivities will take place at the Redmond City Hall campus at 15670 N.E. 85th St., Red-mond Town Center (RTC), located at 7525 166th Ave. N.E., as well as Bear Creek Meadow next to the town center. Luke McRedmond Park at 15811 Redmond Way will also play host to activities.

Lisa Rhodes, event and marketing administrator for City of Redmond, said the event celebrates all of the diff erent religious and cultural traditions that take place in the city during this time of year. “It’s a great event to bring

all of them together,” she said.

Rhodes has been involved in organizing

Redmond Lights for three years and said the event has grown every year in the number of volunteers, sponsors and attendants.

Th is year’s celebration is extra special because the annual tree-lighting, which begins at 4:50 p.m. at City Hall, will also include a kickoff event for the city’s centennial in 2012. Rhodes could not say anything more about it other than it is “extra special.”

“It is a surprise,” she explained.

Santa Claus will also ar-rive at City Hall just before 5 p.m. to help with the ceremonies.

As for returning favorites, Rhodes said the hot air bal-loon glow at the park and meadow has been expanded and will be from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m. (weather permit-ting). Last year’s fi rst-ever Candy Cane Hunt at City Hall will also return and has also been expanded.

“We sold out (last year) and so we’ve doubled the capacity,” Rhodes said.

Th is year, the hunt will be big enough for the fi rst 400 3-10 year olds who sign up. Th e hunt will be from 4 to 4:45 p.m.

Rhodes said people can also watch professional ice

sculptors work their magic in the park and at RTC and also visit Santa’s reindeer in the town center. She said the reindeer have been part of Redmond Lights once before, but it has been about a decade.

Th e Chili Cook-Off has moved to RTC and will include teams representing Redmond’s fi re and police departments and City Council like last year, but has expanded to include teams from local businesses as well. Matt’s Rotisseries & Oyster Lounge and Taste of Amazing will also be com-peting for bragging rights as the best chili makers in town. Rhodes said the competition will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and off er people free samples, while supplies last.

Music and entertainment this year include the Red-mond Chorale, Northwest Boys Choir and Gothard Sisters on the main stage at City Hall. Th e town center will feature the tunes of “kindie” rock band Th e Not Its! and Creme Tangerine, a local Beatles cover band.

Rhodes said there will also be a Santa break-fast event the following weekend on Dec. 10 at the Redmond Senior Center (RSC) at 8703 160th Ave. N.E. from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Tickets, available now, are $12 for adults and $9 for children 3-17.

Parking is available at either the town center or in the City Hall parking ga-rage. A free shuttle service will be available outside of Gene Juarez in the south parking lot of RTC and at the RSC. Shuttles will run every 30 minutes between 3:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Redmond resident and Bahamas native Leona Coakley-Spring is a woman of many talents with a sole mission: To help people living with AIDS in her homeland.

She’s a gospel singer, actor, painter and cosmetologist and her passion is giving back to people who cannot help themselves.

“Th ere is no welfare there, just the kindness of strangers,” said Coakley-Spring, who experienced many hard, hungry days growing up in a remote area of Andros Is-land before fi nding her calling here in the Northwest.

Th e 61-year-old, known as the Bahama Mama to her family and friends, will be giving a ben-efi t concert Saturday, Dec. 3 at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Bellevue at 5 p.m. Coakley-Spring will sing gospel music with a Caribbean fl air, something she calls “Gospira-tion” — a mix between gospel and inspirational music.

Th e proceeds from the concert will go to the All Saints HIV/AIDS Shelter in Nassau, where she was born. For the last 13 years, Coak-ley-Spring has performed benefi t concerts, generating more than $25,000 for the shelter.

In addition, her acrylic-gouache paintings that depict her memories of her upbringing will also be on sale at the concert with those pro-ceeds going to the shelter.

Th ere are about 80 residents at the shelter, a run-down facility located in a remote part of the jungle. Coakley-Spring said most of the residents are women and children with a large percentage of the women being bed-ridden.

“Th e women love it when you just come in and talk,” she said. “Th ey love someone to talk to because they are so secluded.”

“Th is is my mission,” she added.

Coakley-Spring is the middle of 10 siblings and when her mother died when Coakley-Spring was 11, she took on the burden of raising her younger siblings. At a young age, she learned to care for family, which included cooking, clean-ing, sewing and farming, in a very primitive setting.

She said the area in Andros where she grew up looked like a “deserted island.”

“Th ere was no electricity, no running water,” she said. “We had to bathe in the pond and wash our clothes in the pond.”

Life was defi nitely hard for Coakley-Spring in the Bahamas. At the age of 22, she illegally moved to Chicago, along with her two children and four Bahamian pennies with the dream of becoming an actor.

She was well on her way aft er she joined Th e Organic Th eater compa-ny and the Chicago Black Ensemble,

with whom she starred as the Red Hot Fairy God-Mama in a musical titled, “Th e Other Cinderella.”

But things turned for the worse when she said she was deported, but was later granted a green card so she could care for her daughter, who was in the hospital recover-ing from a head injury. In the mid 1980s, Coakley-Spring moved back to the Bahamas, where she ran a hair salon. Coakley-Spring, always guided by a strong Christian faith, said she got a calling from God to go to Seattle in 1986. She came to the area, despite not knowing exactly where it was on the map.

While teaching at a beauty school in Seattle, she befriended another teacher who had AIDS. She became his sole visitor at the hospital before he passed away in 1992. Th at’s when she decided to help victims of the disease — specifi cally those in her native Bahamas.

“Her life is one that comes out of struggle,” said St. Luke’s pastor Tom Kidd. “She has a great love for the people out of that home context. Her faith has led her to become a strong advocate for a segment of people who are vulnerable.”

“She’s proved to be enormously generous,” he added.

In 1992, Coakley-Spring set up the Bahama Mama Hair Salon in Seattle before moving to Bellevue and then Redmond, where she now houses her salon in her home off of Avondale Road. Her home is also her personal art gallery as her col-orful paintings fi ll every inch of the walls. She also has a stand-up mi-crophone in her living room where she rehearses her gospel singing.

She met her husband, Terry, in 1999 while she was singing at the church he attended at the time. She continues to sing gospel and work on her paintings as a way to help and inspire others.

She doesn’t do hair full-time these days — only servicing her closest clients — aft er develop-ing fi bromyalgia about eight years ago. But her passion to help others through art and singing continues to burn bright.

“She is a person of courage,” Kidd said. “She has signifi cant health issues herself, but none of that dis-suades her.”

They both still make their living in Southern California as musicians. In addition, Coakley-Spring’s daughter, Brettina Robinson, is a Bahamian jazz singer-song-writer and also lives in the Los Angeles area.

Fans of the 1946 film “It’s a Wonderful Life” will have the opportunity to experi-ence the classic holiday story in a different way, from Friday through Dec. 10.

The Evergreen Family Theatre (EFT) in Redmond is presenting “It’s a Wonder-ful Life: A Live Radio Play” this holiday season, which will feature local celebrity Pat Cashman in two performances.

Shows will be Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with additional 3 p.m. shows on Saturday. Cashman’s performances will be at 3 p.m. on Dec. 3 and 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 8. All shows will be at the RedWood Family Church at 11500 Redmond-Woodinville Rd. in Redmond.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $13 for seniors and students. Tick-ets are available at the door or online at

brownpapertickets.com.The Joe Landry play, with original

music by Kevin Connors, will be performed in the style of a live 1940s radio show — singing commercials included — when radio stations had live audiences for their shows.

“The actors, their characters will be radio actors,” explained director Marsha Stueckle. “You can actually close your eyes and just let it be like a radio broadcast.”

“Wonderful Life” is the story of George Bailey as he discovers what life would be like if he never existed, retold as a live radio broadcast. Three of the five the actors will play multiple roles from the film and perform in different voices, Stueckle said. The ac-tors playing George and Mary Bailey will stick with their respective single role because they are larger parts.

“We have just a really wonderful cast,” she said.

Cashman will play George Bailey during his performances.

Stueckle said Cashman is friends with sportscaster and public speaker Tony Ventrella, who is a board member for EFT and has participated in a number of the group’s productions. Ventrella asked Cashman if he would like to participate in the play and Stueckle said he agreed.

In addition to the cast’s voice talents, Stueckle said the play features sound effects to recreate the sounds of the film, such as breaking glass, doors opening and closing and shoes crunching on snow.

Stueckle added that audience members are encouraged to dress up in their best 1940s costumes.

CANDACE WINEGRAD

Special to the Reporter

Running enthusiasts of all ages braved a positively frigid Saturday morning for the

City of Redmond’s fi rst Four-Mile Poultry Predictor Race at Farrel McWhirter Park.

Th e event was not your typical race — just because you crossed the fi nish line

fi rst, didn’t mean you were the winner. Participants were instead asked to guess their completion time before starting the course. Th e fi ve entrants who came

closest to their predicted times won a frozen turkey just in time for Th anksgiv-ing dinner.

Not all of the entrants were the typical marathon-

circuit regulars — children, teens and seniors were a large share of the participants.

In fact, the win-ner with the closest time was 11-year-old and fi rst-time runner Makenzie McLauchlan, who fi nished the race within 9 seconds of her estimated time at 42:49.

Th e surprise winner said coming in fi rst was “amaz-ing” and that she “just came out here and guessed!” She plans to take her winnings to Lincoln City, Ore., for the holiday.

Kelly Barrysmith and her two young sons completed the course together. It was the fi rst race for the boys, one of whom fi nished the race in about 37.5 minutes.

“My kids brought me (here), they dragged me out of bed this morning,” Bar-rysmith said. “I’m so glad they did.”

Friends Lisa Sharp and Brooke Millar took on the course as running buddies.

“We run together on a regular basis, so it was just fun to get out on the trail and do a Saturday morning fun run,” Millar said.

“It’s the kickoff of the winter season, and it’s great,”

added Sharp.Th e fi rst person to

cross the fi nish line was Inglemoor High School student and cross-country runner Jonathon Larson.

Sarah Sandquist, City of Redmond fi tness coordina-tor and organizer for the event, was pleased with the turnout.

“We ended up with about 65 participants. It was a man-ageable amount for the fi rst year, and we hope to grow each year,” Sandquist said.Candace Winegrad is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

SUCCESSFUL AGING! The old notion that seniors largely spend their retirement years in rocking chairs on front porches has largely given way to the current real-ity of mature individuals speed-walking for exercise in malls, bicycling, or taking yoga classes. The fact is that no past generation has been in bet-ter shape or better health than today’s seniors. As the envelope is being pushed and limits are explored, gerontologists have had to come up with new terms that they can use to describe evolving lifestyle shifts. This has led to the creation of terms such as “successful aging,” “productive aging,” and “active aging,” which can be used to describe a rising awareness that age may be more of an attitude than a number.

P.S. No previous generation of seniors has taken a more proactive approach toward aging with the intent of redefining it.

PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING promotes “active aging”. Our calendar of events features a full range of fun and engaging activities that encourage our seniors’ participation. Our caring staff treats our senior residents like family members. To learn more, reach us today at (425) 869-2273. You are invited to tour our conveniently located senior community at 14431 Redmond Way. We will exceed your expectations!

Advanced Care Dentistry

Everyone seems to know that brush-ing and flossing is good for the teeth, but did you know it is good for your heart?

Some of our patients are surprised to hear about their gum condition and the relationship between gum disease and their medical conditions. Research studies indicate that chronic gum disease may contribute to the development of heart disease, which is the nation’s leading cause of death in both men and women.

How does this happen? Gum disease

is a bacterial infection that can affect conditions inside your body in addi-tion to your mouth. The heart vessels are one area affected by the bacteria.

They attach to the fatty deposits on the inner walls of these vessels and cause the walls to thicken, which de-creases blood flow. The narrow arteries are susceptible to blood clots that cause the heart attacks that are common with coronary artery disease. Researchers have found that people with chronic gum disease are more likely to suffer from coronary artery disease than those without chronic gum disease.

The Surgeon General’s Report on

Oral Health states that good oral health is integral to general health, therefore, brush and floss properly and visit your dentist for regular checkups.

If you have advanced gum disease, called periodontal disease, you may need more frequent checkups and cleanings.

You may benefit from more ad-vanced treatments such as deep clean-ings or gum surgery.

Be sure to ask your dentist!Thomas O. Marxen and Erica Yang are dentists at Advanced Care Dentistry in Woodinville. For more information, call (425) 483-2442.

Is there a link between gum disease and heart disease?

A giant celebration erupted Satur-day at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium aft er Th e Bear Creek School girls’ soccer team realized they had won the pro-gram’s fi rst 1B/2B state championship.

Th e energy at the stadium was fi lled with so much excitement, one would have thought the Grizzlies had just won the Major League Soccer championship.

Th e ecstatic Grizzlies more than made up for 90 minutes of near-misses and frustration in the title game, which ended in a 0-0 tie at the end of regulation, by out scoring the Napavine Tigers in penalty kicks, 3-1.

When the Tigers’ desperation kick to stay alive sailed wide of the net, the packed Grizzlies’ side of the stands erupted, and the white-clad Grizzly athletes jumped into each others’ arms and shed tears of joy.

“(Aft er) I was told it’s the fi rst time we’ve made it to the fi nal four, to win the semis and then win state, it’s such a great feeling,” said fi rst-year head coach Brandon Gonzalez. “I knew, with them, we could make something happen. And we did.”

FIRST TIME’S THE CHARMBefore the weekend began, the Bear

Creek girls’ team had never even been to the state semifi nals.

Playing at a big stadium like Sunset in front of hundreds of fans was un-charted territory for Gonzalez’s squad, but if there were any nerves heading into the championship game, they certainly didn’t show it.

Bear Creek dominated time of possession in the fi rst half, not even allowing the Tigers a shot on goal, while winning a majority of the one-on-one battles for the ball.

Although the Grizzlies had a number of opportunities, the Tigers’ defense and goalkeeper Sami Taylor prevented any shots from reaching the back of the net.

Taylor recorded nine saves for the game, including seven in the second half.

“We just couldn’t fi nish,” said

Gonzalez on his team’s off ensive woes. “Defensively we did well, I think they only had two or three shots on goal at the most.”

Grizzly sweeper Brittany DiGen-ova, who was red-carded during the team’s state opener and had to sit out in the semifi nals, came up with a key stop on defense in the 48th minute that looked to be a golden opportu-nity for Napavine. And later in the game, keeper Shannon Abbott had a huge save in the fi rst overtime period to force the penalty-kick shootout.

Bear Creek began the pressure-packed shootout ominously, as Caro-line Bridgwater’s shot glanced off the side bar for a miss, and Tiger senior Samantha May got one by Kristina Engelstone, who stepped in goal just for the shootout.

“It was really discouraging because I hadn’t played goal in a really long time,” Engelstone said on giving up that fi rst goal. “I got lots of emotions when (Gonzalez) told me I was going into goal, but my teammates were there for me and they told me every-thing was going to be okay.”

Midfi elder Karin Diamond got the Grizzlies on the board on their next kick, and the Tigers got a bad break of

their own as their next shot rattled off the crossbar.

Th e turning point in the shootout was an incredible save by Engelstone on the Tigers’ third kick, where she dove to the left on instinct and swat-ted the ball away just in time.

“I just picked a side, and went with my gut,” she said. “Th ankfully, I was right.”

With the Tigers missing on their next two shots, the Grizzlies came up big as senior Morgan Rial and Abbott, the keeper during regulation, scored on their kicks to seal the victory.

“At fi rst, we were like, ‘wait, did we just win?’ recalled Rial upon seeing Napavine’s fi nal kick miss to the right. “Th en we were all screaming and go-ing crazy. I have to keep telling myself we’re state champs, it’s just unbeliev-able.”

Added Engelstone on what gave her the ability to stay calm and confi dent as the shootout goalie with the championship on the line: “My teammates, my family, all the people supporting us, and God.”

SHORTHANDED SUCCESSBear Creek could have easily been

seen as the underdog heading into

the title game against the Tigers, who had reached the championship game in each of the last two years.

Th e Grizzlies had to overcome a number of hardships over the course of the season, including DiGenova’s untimely red card, and an injury bug that bit the team hard.

Th e team’s already shorthanded roster got whittled down to the point where only one or two subs were sitting on the bench.

“It was just one obstacle aft er another,” Rial said. “But we knew we were a tight team, a family, and we knew we’d get through it.”

Th e injuries also sparked what turned out to be a critical change at the goalkeeper position, as Engel-stone, who started the season in goal, moved to the fi eld as a defen-sive anchor while Abbott, relatively new to the position, took her place in the net.

“She did well, she stepped up,” Gonzalez said of Abbott’s eff orts. “But Kristina has that goalie instinct that we needed in a situation like (the shootout), and she came up big.”

While eight of the Grizzlies’ 14

rostered players are fresh-men or sophomores, which bodes well for the program’s future, the first-year coach had nothing but great things to say about the team’s four departing seniors – team

co-captains Rial and Dan-ielle Isbell, Abbott, and mid-fielder Halle Coleman.

“They’re great leaders on and off the field,” said Gonzalez, who most recently served as an assistant soccer coach for Lindbergh High in Renton. “Morgan’s an all-

team player, we couldn’t have been where we were today without her, or Danielle.”

Rial, having lettered in all four years of her prep soccer career, said that the girls knew that it was their last game together, and simply gave it all they had in the final match.

In the end, they got rewarded.

“It’s the best way to end the season, the best way to end my career in soc-cer – just awesome,” said Rial, who was named the Reporter’s 2010-11 Female Athlete of the Year last June. “It’s been a great season and we’ve put so much hard work in. We totally deserved it, and we knew we could win it.”

[ GRIZZLIES from page 13] Déjà vu strikes for Grizzlies in consolation finals as boys team places fourth at stateTIM WATANABE

[email protected]

The Bear Creek School boys team’s losses last week-end in the state semifinals and the 3rd-4th-place consolation finals — both 3-2 losses to Providence Classical Christian and St. George’s, respectively — were far too frighteningly similar to seem real.

It certainly didn’t seem real to the stunned Grizzly squad and head coach Chad Pohlman, who was nearly at a loss for words after the team gave up three late goals

to fall to the Dragons in the 3rd-4th-place game at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner.

“It wasn’t for a lack of effort on our part,” Pohl-man said. “They rose to the challenge, and (the Dragons) defeated us.”

In the semifinals against Providence, senior standout Mark Phillips scored two goals within a minute of each other, in the 47th and 48th minutes, to give his team a 2-0 lead that held up until the final minutes of the game.

In the 74th minute, Provi-dence scored its first goal, with the equalizer coming three minutes later.

With 12 seconds left on the game clock, Providence senior Andrew Moisant put the nail in the coffin with the game-winner, devastating the Grizzlies.

The very next day, Phillips again put Bear Creek ahead 2-0 in a one-minute stretch, out-hustling Dragon defend-ers and scoring twice in the 18th and 19th minutes.

For the next 46 minutes of play, the Grizzlies were able to hold St. George’s at bay.

In the 65th minute, Karl Muelheims finally broke through for the Dragons, and six minutes later, Camus Chapman tied it up on an unassisted goal that deflected off Bear Creek keeper Michael Worley, hit the crossbar, and trickled into the net.

In the final minute of play, the Grizzlies got their most unfortunate break of the long season as they were called for a penalty just outside the box, setting up a Dragons’ free kick, from about 15 yards, that was es-sentially for the game.

Chapman took the kick

and found Karl’s brother Erik, who headed in the game-winner with 16 sec-onds left.

“I always believe in these guys,” said Heidi Melville, head coach of St. George’s. “They never die, they never quit … we were a little flat starting out, but they just really lit a fire.”

Even in the loss, Pohlman gave the Dragons credit for coming up with the game’s defining play.

“It was just a great play on their part,” he said. “At the end of the game, everyone’s just exhausted, and that guy got up and won the ball. There’s nothing else you can do but tip your hat and congratulate them.”

Despite the season-ending losses, Pohlman said he was proud of his seniors’ leader-ship and fortitude.

“I’m just so proud of the seniors, for not just the four years they’ve given, but this year in particular,” Pohl-man said. “The leadership that our seniors showed this year was second-to-none. The way that they led this team, both on the field and with their attitudes, I just commend them so much. They showed true leadership to this team and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. It was an amazing group and truly the honor of my coaching career at this point to coach this group of seniors.

“Mark (Phillips) ended up with 40 goals, tied for the state lead in goals this season. He will go down as the greatest soccer player in Bear Creek history to this point. He’s an unbelievable player, always plays with class and is such a great person, a great teammate.”

Mark Phillips, a senior forward for the Grizzlies, gets lifted up by Lucas Fernandez after scoring the first of his two goals in the 3rd-4th-place finals against St. George’s. Phillips scored six of his team’s seven goals in the statetournament, and finished with 40 on the year. Photo courtesy of Sini Fernandez

An individual can par-ticipate in the New York City Marathon by either running a qualifying time in a prior marathon or being selected through a lottery system. But when this didn’t work for Kim Wilcox, the Redmond resident found another way to get into the race.

Earlier this month, Wilcox ran the marathon as part of a team running to raise money for the New York chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Founda-tion (JDRF). While many people run for a charitable cause as a way to secure a spot in the race, Wilcox said she never wanted to do that unless she had a good reason to do so.

“For me, it was juvenile diabetes,” she said.

Wilcox’s niece Taryn Wilcox was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes — or Type 1 diabetes — when she was 5. Kim said she and

her husband have made personal donations in the past for juvenile diabetes research, so being able to run for a cause that is so close to them worked out for her.

Kim was one of 75 run-ners on the JDRF team and personally raised $3,550 for the foundation. She said she was tasked with raising

$3,500. Kim’s team raised more than $360,000.

To fundraise, Kim said she reached out to friends and family through e-mail, asking for donations to the cause and telling them that she was doing it for her niece.

“I have just had tremen-dous support,” Kim said. “It was awesome.”

Kim sent out three e-mails asking for donations — the fi rst on June 1 and the third on Oct. 5.

Kim said meeting her JDRF teammates — most of

which were from New York — was inspirational. Many of the runners had Type 1 diabetes and had to check their insulin levels through-out the race and made adjustments accordingly.

“But they fi nished (the marathon)!” she said.

Th is was Kim’s fourth marathon. She fi nished with a time of 4:27:35. Kim, who ran track and cross country in high school, has also participated in mara-thons in Portland, Ore. and Tucson, Ariz., as well as at Disney World.
