BY MARY JEAN SPADAFORA
Bellevue Reporter
At Sammamish High School, Linea Johnson was an over-achiever. She received straight A’s, played sports and developed her musical talent.
But unlike other high school students, she faced burnouts which sent her into bouts of depression – crashes her parents knew weren’t normal.
“It’s addicting to be a mess,” Linea said, re� ecting on her episodes.
Her family had no idea – until she was hospitalized in college – that she was liv-ing with bipolar disorder, a condition that would catapult the Johnsons into a battle for Linea’s life, a search for a � x and eventu-ally a journey of healing detailed in their new book published in May.
Written by Linea and her mother, Cinda, “Perfect Chaos” is a compilation of essays and journal entries, narrating the family’s struggle against the debilitating disease and their confrontation with the state of mental illness in society today. � e goal: share their story and give a voice to individuals with mental illness.
Cinda’s story begins by recapping the childhood of her two daughters. As a pro-fessor at Seattle University specializing in mental health, she was acutely aware Linea experienced feelings abnormal to other children.
Despite her parents’ fears, Linea perse-vered through her high school burn outs. It wasn’t until Linea’s hospitalization and
diagnosis in 2007 that her parents realized something was seriously wrong.
“I wasn’t just teaching this anymore,” Cinda said. “I was living this.”
� e book moves to Linea’s journal entries – a practice she began as a child – detailing her experience as she battled the ups and downs of the disorder, de� ned by recurring episodes of mania and depres-sion, leading to unpredictable swings in mood and energy.
As the story progresses, Linea � nds herself in and out of psychiatric hospitals in Seattle and Chicago, going back and forth with di� erent medications in a battle to break her destructive cycle of self-harm.
“It’s addicting when you don’t feel good to resort to things that make you feel good, but aren’t healthy,” Linea said. “Doing what is best for you is constant work.”
Her tenacity paid o� . She graduated from Seattle University with a degree in creative writing and works at Harborview Medical Center.
She actively works with her mother to advocate for individuals who aren’t able to articulate their experiences with mental health – from feelings to interactions with
the health care system.� e book is about “sharing stories so
people can feel less alone and understand the mind of someone going through a mental health condition,” Linea said. “It helps people express what they’re going through.”
In addition to promoting their book, Cinda and Linea also speak at mental health conferences, including the 2012 NAMI National Convention, June 27-79 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
“Perfect Chaos” is published by St. Mar-tin’s Press. It is available at major book-stores or Amazon.com. List price is $24.99.

� e Bellevue City Council is expected to decide on a number of measures to cut costs of East Link light-rail and reduce the city’s cost on the project.
At its meeting June 25, the council is expected to endorse possible cost-cutting plans to be further studied by Sound Transit to see the impact they would have on the project. � e decision does not change the � nal alignment, it merely allows sta� to further study the proposed measures to see if they are viable and bene� cial.
In a pact last year between Bellevue and Sound Transit, the city agreed to provide $100 million in low- or no-cost contribu-tions toward the cost of a tunnel. Another $60 million in “contingent” contributions by the city is the target of cost savings e� orts; the city’s goal is to reduce that con-tribution to zero.
Both sides have identi� ed a number of cost-cutting possibilities and, depending on which options are selected down the road, the project cost could be reduced anywhere from $21 to $44 million.
� at still leaves the two agencies with some work to do to eliminate a total of $60 million in project costs, for which Bellevue is currently on the hook.
Cost-saving ideas under consideration include shi� ing Bellevue Way to the west to accommodate the light rail line, a street-level alignment on 112th Avenue Southeast near Southeast Fourth Street, and changes to the downtown tunnel station.
� e new design ideas still have many unanswered questions, but one sure thing is the elimination of an elevated crossing of the train from the east to the west side of the street. New ideas include adding el-evation to the road, so the train can cross

Bellevue man, three others arrested on 21 counts of mortgage fraud
A Bellevue man and three Seattle-area residents were arrested June 2 on a 21-count indictment charging them with conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud.
� e mortgage fraud scheme ran from 2006-2008 and defrauded more than 10 banks, � nancial institutions, and mortgage
lenders, of more than $8.6 million, accord-ing to U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan.
More than 50 mortgages were involved on properties in a variety of communities around Puget Sound including Medina, Bellevue, Medina, Redmond and Kirkland, Renton and South Seattle.
Bellevue resident Jonathan Mendoza Martinez, 34; his sister Seattle resident Jazmin Villalba Martinez, 30; Kirkland resi-
dent Celia Perez Morales, 35; and 41-year-old Jorge Castrejon Pichardo of Mountlake Terrace made their initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle on June 2.
According to the indictment, three of the defendants worked at Emerald City Escrow and at Nationwide Home Mortgage and conspired to use straw buyers to defraud banks. � e fourth defendant worked at a tax preparation business and provided some of the false documentation submitted with the loan applications.
� e conspirators are accused of sub-mitting false � nancial, employment, and
tax information to apply for residential mortgage loans. � ey falsely in� ated the sale price of the properties. A� er the lend-ers funded the loans, the conspirators kept the excess proceeds and the straw buyers quickly defaulted on the mortgages, ac-cording to the charges.
� e victim banks included Washing-ton Mutual (now JPM Chase), Bank of America, American Sterling Bank, ING Bank, IndyMac Bank, and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., among others. Documents in the scheme were submitted via mail and wire.

underneath, just above a complex water table featuring the con� uence of several streams and culverts. What will still have to be decided is whether Southeast Fourth Street into the neighborhood will have to be closed, or whether a gated crossing at Southeast Sixth is needed.
While sta� and councilmembers saw savings potential in the neighborhoods, others wanted to make sure they were still protecting the residents and focusing the cost savings e� orts on other parts of the route.
“I think it’s important for us to not try and save nickels and dimes in ways that would lead to much greater impact,” said Councilmember Claudia Balducci.
Several councilmembers showed frustra-tion with the process, as a result of the many questions that remain about the proposed options. Councilmember Don Davidson, for the second week in a row was upset by the process, and the route in gen-eral, which he voted for when the council created the memorandum of understanding with Sound Transit last year. He reiterated his support for a deep bore tunnel, which was suggested by Build a Better Bellevue, only a day before announcing an appeal of the federal approval of the route. Davidson wanted to see how the lawsuit would shake out before supporting anything.
“We can’t seem to get o� this alignment,” he said. “It’s a terrible alignment. I watch you guys struggle to make it better, but you can’t.”

Boaters, endangered salmon and out-� owing water from Lake Sammamish share “� e Slough” to the Sammamish River at Marymoor Park. Over the
last decade, this 1960’s Corps of Engineer’s � ood control project has been altered. � ough King County agreed to “operate” the project, infrequent maintenance, an illegal rock dam and sediment build-up now block � ow.
� e Corps of Engineers designed the outlet channel at Marymoor to handle a “once-in-a-decade” storm. Key to passing this � ow downstream was a channel clear of obstructions.
When constructed, King County agreed to maintain it to this standard each year. But fast growing willows were
planted in the channel and mainte-nance was reduced to once every four years. Unfortunately, the willows cre-ated superb habitat for bass. (Bass love to eat young salmon.) And cuttings from periodic vegetation maintenance were le� behind resulting in sediment build-up.
� e corps recognized impending problems in 2008 and noti� ed the county that the Sammamish � ood control project was being decerti� ed,
making it ineligible for federal support. Even earlier than 2008, public records show the corps advised the county it should inform lake residents their properties and improvements would be impacted. Unfortunately, their prediction came true, as many who’ve lost docks, bulkheads and landscaping would attest – losses that easily have reached millions of dollars.
At resident urging last year, the county returned to annual vegetation trimming. However, some county of-� cials are advocating delaying removal of the sediment and debris, o� ering instead a long-term, costly solution that would rebuild this section of the river.
Common sense calls for clearing today’s debris and blockage problems. � en we should take a compre-hensive look at cost-e� ective solutions that balance water � ow, water quality and the needs of salmon and recreational users.
Lakeside jurisdictions, lake residents and the Corps of Engineers must be involved. Otherwise this federally funded project is a non-navigable, impeded � oodway that has negatively impacted salmon and threatens greater and greater damages each year.

Obama’s ‘index’Just as Ronald Reagan hung the
“Misery Index” of the total of unem-ployment and in� ation around Jimmy Carter’s neck, so should Mitt Romney pin the “Bankruptcy Welfare Index” on Barack Obama for the total of un-employment, the de� cit as a percent-age of GDP and government spending as a percent of GDP.Harvey Gillis, Bellevue
Mistake?� ose boys at HBO sure know how
to have fun. Putting former President Bush’s head on a pole in their “Game of � rones” show is the essence of good taste and jocularity. Of course the tepid mea culpas by the network are supposed to de� ect any criticism. No one will be � red, count on it.
Now here’s an obvious ques-tion. What would have happened if President Obama’s head were “in-advertently” placed on a stick? How many “heads would roll” on that little “mistake?” Pun intended.Denny Andrews, Bellevue
Light-rail use marginal It is incredible to me and others that
a city that promotes itself as one of the most livable, would trade quality of life in established single-family neigh-borhoods for an ideological concept of densi� cation to promote light-rail use. � e resulting use is marginal at best and the added cost of the concept is a budget busting $160 million to the city.
And that trade-o� is made in the face of a far less residentially impact-ing alignment that can provide faster transit service and potentially better ridership at an estimated cost of zero to the city.
I remember showing up at the Bel-levue City Council chambers about three years ago with some pictures I Photoshopped, showing an 80-foot high embankment along Bellevue Way, complete with gra� ti, and was pooh-poohed by almost everyone. Now it looks to be a reality, unless the suit recently � led on behalf of the citi-zens of Bellevue can stop Sound Tran-sit o� cials, or change their minds.
What I can’t wrap my head around is all the turmoil this silly trolley will cause, for a solution that addresses only 4 percent of the tra� c problem, by Sound Transit’s own numbers.Lawrence Graham, Bellevue
Lame editorialI have never read a lamer, unneces-
sary and valueless editorial (liquor costs, June 15), and its concluding
paragraph was idiotic and immature.Richard K. Olson, Bellevue
Learn to parkI am a frequent visitor to the Bel-
levue Library and I frequently notice that more cars could be parked in the block if only cars were parked properly starting with the cars at each end of the block.
Drivers o� en park leaving uneven space at each end of the block and in between cars within the block. On some days I � nd that if cars were parked properly in the block up to three additional cars could be accom-modated.
I spoke to a resident who happened to be in front of his unit and [he]said he has noticed this also.
A few years ago I brought this to the attention of the city of Seattle and was told more cars could be parked if spac-es are not marked. � is is simply not true. What happens is you sometimes get cars boxed in, which happened to me once when a car parked in front of me at the end of a block backed up against me in spite of having ample space to pull up closer to the curve with out being in the crosswalk.
It is rare that you will see a driver get out, notice he/she has taken up too much space and re-park. Unfortunate-ly we live in a society where too many people think only of themselves. George Whitaker, Bellevue

CAVITIES AT EARLIER AGESWhile tooth decay has been on the decline over the past few decades, dentists are discovering a worrisome new uptick in cavities. It seems that a number of preschoolers all over the country, in all income levels, are developing so many cavities that they must undergo general anesthesia to treat them all. In such cases, it is not uncommon to see preschoolers with six to ten cavities or more at one time. This growing problem is likely due to increased use of bottled water (which does not contain � uoride) and increased snacking on sugary foods and drinks at bedtime. Making matters worse, many parents do not insist that their toddlers brush before going to bed. Children are paying the price.
The increased incidence of multiple cavities among preschoolers underlines the importance of taking a child for a visit to the dentist before his or her � rst birthday to assess cavity risk and establish good oral health habits.
At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we can help instill healthy oral hygiene techniques and can point out areas that may require extra attention during brushing and � ossing to prevent cavities. Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. You can � nd us in the Forest Of� ce Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue. Call us at 425.641.4111 to schedule an appointment.

I recently started a karate class.
I felt con� dent that if my young son could learn the techniques and commands, I could, too. I didn’t consider the fact that he’s used to learning every
day and somewhere along the line, I forgot to try new things.
When you watch someone who has dedicated years to a skill, they always make it look easy. Like drumming or playing bagpipes. Or karate. It’s never as easy when you try it yourself but always humbling nonetheless.
It’s disorienting to hear com-mands in Japanese and to make my body move in ways it rebels against. I have no balance, my kicks are too low, and wish I didn’t have to see myself in the mirror trying to control my noodle legs.
My joints are sti� , my arms are weak and I look like an idiot. I’m sure that Sensei goes to his o� ce a� er class to laugh, maybe even cry. I try hard. O� en I fail, which makes me want to try again. Still, I return each week looking forward to learning something new.
Kaizen is the idea of constant improvement or a change for the better. � e King County Library System subscribes to an online database called Universal Class, which is dedicated to helping you learn something new or make a change for the better. Courses vary from bartending/mixology (yes, really!) to behavioral sciences and algebra to chakra clearing.
If you are shy or easily embarrassed, a classroom setting may not be the right place for you. � e online courses of study on Universal Class are authored and taught by
experts in the � eld who give you feedback a� er each self-paced lesson. Most courses are around 10 hours of online class time and they are free.
You can � nd Universal Class by visiting the KCLS database page at www.kcls.org/databases. It is listed under the heading labeled Careers and Education. Log in using your library card number and PIN. Once you have set up an account with a log on and password and you will be ready to learn.
By immersing ourselves in a new skill or idea, we can attain constant personal improvement. Try it out today. Even if you aren’t brave enough for karate, there is a class inside the database perfect for you. Learn something new, even if it’s just for kicks.

City shows new crime map Bellevue police last week launched a new online crime
map that allows the public to see when and where crimes were committed.
� e map, at www.crimemapping.com/map/wa/bellevue, allows residents to see a map of recent crime activity near a user speci� ed address. People can select crime types, date ranges, generate reports, and receive email updates as well as free crime alerts.
“We are one of only a few in the state to launch this interactive mapping service and look forward to its suc-cessful use by our citizens,” said Investigations Maj. Mike Johnson.
Crime Prevention detectives can use the map at com-munity meetings to provide reliable crime information and encourage citizens to report o� enses.

As if getting liquor at the grocery store wasn’t enough, Bellevue now will be the � rst city in the state for Total Wine and More, one of the foremost wine, beer and spirit retailers in the country.
With more than 8,000 wines, 2,500 beers and 3,000 types of spirits, Total Wine and More fancies itself the leader in both price and selection in every market it enters. � e store opens June 28 at 699 120th Ave., in the spot formerly occupied by Larry’s Market and next to Uwajimaya.
Founder David Trone said the com-pany has stores in 13 states, and with each new frontier comes new relation-ships with producers both local and worldwide.
“We really specialize in � nding the unique family producers from all over the world that really can’t be success-ful elsewhere on their own,” Trone said.
Trone said Total Wine and More will carry more local wines than com-petitors’ entire selection.
Washington has been a target of the company for some time, Trone said. With its quality wine producers and burgeoning cra� beer industry, it was a natural move for the company. But the � nal domino fell when voters passed Initiative 1183, allowing stores over 10,000 square feet to sell spirits.
While Total Wine and More has stores in two states - North Carolina and Virginia - that don’t allow spirit sales in grocery stores, being able to add spirits to the selection makes the business boom, Trone said.
Ed Cooper, spokesman for the company, said Bellevue was a logical target because of its high income and its diverse and well-educated popu-lace. Customers will be surprised and
excited to � nd that prices for spirits will not only be cheaper than in the grocery store, but also less than previ-ous costs at state liquor stores, Cooper said.
“We strive to be the price leader in every market we are in, and we think Bellevue will be no di� erent,” Cooper said.
With the large selection available, Total Wine and More customers are going to need some guidance, Cooper said, adding that every employee is required to undergo more than 150 hours of training to know everything there is to know about wine, beer and spirits. � e company sponsors trips to Spain and France to taste international products and adventures to the Napa Valley and other domestic hot spots.
Trone and his brother have been perfecting the business for more than 20 years. In 1991, they were in the beer business in Pennsylvania, but the
microbrew trend hadn’t yet arrived, leaving the industry without a lot of options. � ey decided to branch out into wine and spirits, and they never looked back.
More than 80 stores later, Trone said, the company is still adding to its selection. Arriving in Washington will not only bene� t the company by adding new stores, but also building a relationship with local producers will help the selection nationwide.
“We want to feature Washington state wines because they are local, and they are fantastic,” he said. “Nobody outside of Texas cares about Texas wines, but Washington state wines are world class. Everybody cares about Washington state wines whether you are in Washington, California, Texas or Florida.”

Company unveils a long-anticipated device BY JOSH SUMAN
Bellevue Reporter
Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer ended media and consumer speculation June 18 with the unveiling of Surface, the first tablet device from the Redmond-based company and one it hopes can rival the wildly popular iPad in the evolving world of mobile computing.
Less than 10 millimeters thick and with an ultra-rigid magnesium case, Surface features built-in USB and HDMI ports and an attachable multi-touch keyboard that also acts as a cover. An integrated kickstand is yet another feature that follows the theme of blending the hardware and software of the device for a more seamless transition for users between work and play.
“People do want to create and consume,” Ballmer said at the unveiling event in Los Angeles. “They want to be on their couch, they want to be at their desk and they want to be on the go. Surface fulfills that dream.”
The device will come in two versions,
RT and Pro, and both will run a version of Windows 8.
Surface will go on sale this fall at the Microsoft Stores in Bellevue Square and elsewhere around the country. No price has been released.
Apple has dominated the market of mobile computing with the iPad since its release in 2010, but will soon face competi-tion from the newest hardware innovation that can operate a broad range of applica-tions.
Microsoft also hopes other features like the cover, which snaps in place with a magnetic hinge, dual antennas for wi-fi reception and front and rear facing cameras will provide appeal while also adding some distinguishing features to draw atten-tion from the iPad. But the functionality of Windows 8 on the new device is what Ballmer hailed as the cornerstone of its suc-cess in the marketplace.
“Because of Windows 8, the Surface is a PC, the Surface is a tablet and the Surface is something new,” Ballmer said.

• H E A L T H Y L I V I N G •
By EPHRAIM TUCHO
For those that think the healthy benefits
of physical activity are limited to physical conditioning, they may be surprised to learn that the true benefits of exercise are for the brain.
What improvements will someone see in their mental capacities once they start exercising?What the exercise does is that it makes learners better at learning. It improves the attention system, it improves the motivation to stick with it. It lowers impulsivity. You’re less jumpy in a cognitive situation. It reduces anxiety, and all those things make for a better learner. For the brain, for 100 billion nerve cells, [exercise] optimizes it to grow, and that’s the only way to learn things. That’s the way we encode information. The brain becomes better conditioned. Synapses get pushier, make more neurotransmitters and make more receptors. We get our brain cells ready to learn. If our brain cells don’t grow, we don’t learn.
The body craves activity when the brain resists. Is there a way to wire our brain into craving and enjoying this exercise as well?The resistance is there. Other than once you get to a point of being so keyed into it, you get on a regular schedule. The ultimate best way is to do it with someone and to have fun with it. That is the best way to get you going and keep you going. After a while, the best way to get wired is to have something that’s fulfilling and drawing enough and motivating enough on its own. There comes a time for those who make it to about 3 months, it’s very hard for them to stop a regular routine.
Is wiring the brain an additional challenge for people who recently started losing weight or does the same challenges present to those who have exercised regularly in the past?It’s very hard to start. One of the things we know now is that for very obese people the way to get them to start is probably by lifting weights; small curls or lifting things above their heads. They will be able to see a change in their strength and they will be able to see it immediately. They can see
themselves getting stronger and they can get closer to walking and aerobics. Walking is nice, but exercise really means pushing beyond your limits. Walk more than you usually do. You have to see a change. That’s why going to a gym is good because you can see a change easier. Then you really want to push yourself. until you’re out of breath and you are willing to push yourself. But people tend not to push themselves.
In your book you recommend aerobics and tennis for conditioning both the body and the brain. Are there any other activities you would suggest? How
intense should the activity be?Overall, I’d say best exercise is dance. Vigorous kinds of dance involve so much, so many muscles, as well as the brain, and that’s the trick. What we know is the best results come from exercises that involve coordination and learning challenges. In dance you have to concentrate on the steps and you have a partner and it adds an overall degree of complexity. The more vigorous dance the better.
I think the ideal [for an activity] is probably something that gets your heart rate up to 90 percent of maximum for a short period of time
We know what can happen when we don’t exercise our physical muscles but what effects would a lack of exercise have on our brain?I think if you exercise, your level of fitness is going to change your level of cognition. You’re not going to have that acute burst like you’ve had in the past. Getting to a point where you don’t need exercise is not real. People need to continue to exercise throughout their lives. Your cognition goes down as you get older and it goes down pretty quickly. •

Being overweight can have a devastating impact on a per-son’s self-image, especially someone who has a yearning ache to feel and look desirable. And it follows that
looking sexier can be a stronger motivator than health when someone goes on a diet.
Dietitians often get that from their patients.“They say, ‘if only I get to a certain number I can do
online dating,’ ” says Dawn Jackson Blatner, registered dieti-tian, Chicago.
But starving yourself to a hot-on-a-Saturday night size 2 shouldn’t be your aspiration, say nutrition experts.
Sex appeal isn’t conditional on a dress size. It’s about having confidence, gusto, passion, says Elizabeth Somer, M.A., registered dietitian, Salem, Ore.
“If you walk with your shoulders back, you’re healthy, your skin radiates a glow and you have a big smile on your face, you can be 20 or 90 and you can be sexy,” says Somer.
By switching off some negative eating habits, clearing junk foods from your environment and creating realistic goals, you’re more likely to stick to a weight loss plan, have more energy and feel better about yourself, say nutrition experts.
When you give in to food that doesn’t enhance your well-being, you feel guilty and beat yourself up. You’re probably going to wallow in potato chips, not carrot sticks.
Break the cycle. Take a walk or go to the gym instead of self-medicating with high-fat, high-calorie foods when you’re stressed.
Change behaviors that trigger overeating.For example, if you eat while watching television, you may lose track of how much you’re consuming. Turn off the tele-vision during mealtime.
“Do different things to get different results,” Blatner says.“It could be something as simple as drinking a healthy
breakfast smoothie. It sets you up; you feel like you’re going to have a healthy day.
“If you have control, you can work on positive energy. The momentum is almost like a snowball. You feel better; you treat yourself better,” she says.
It’s hard to exert your willpower when you’re hungry.
Arrange your food day as you do the rest of your routine.“Eat breakfast. Don’t shortchange yourself at lunch,” says Joan Salge Blake, M.S., regis-tered dietitian.
Concentrate on foods you should add to your diet.“It’s easier to add things than take away. I know that by adding protein at breakfast,
people will be less hungry midday,” says Blake, clinical asso-ciate professor, Boston University.
“Plan something in the afternoon – another piece of fruit, a few nuts, a chunk of reduced-fat cheese. By eating more and being in more control of what you eat, you’ll eat fewer calories,” Blake says.
You’re more likely to succumb to temptation when you’re surrounded by high-fat, high-calorie foods.
The simple solution?“Don’t bring the junk into the house. Don’t buy chips and soda and ice cream. They shouldn’t be in your cupboards anymore,” Somer says.
As you continue your healthful habits you’ll notice the positive changes, say the dietitians.
When your step is confident, you’ve got a playful look in your eye and a secret smile lingers on your lips, well, you’re ready to answer that old question: “Do You Think I’m Sexy?”
And it’s yes, yes, yes. •

Burnett will try and walk to the Olympics. JOSH SUMAN, Bellevue Reporter
BY JOSH SUMAN
Bellevue Reporter
Katie Burnett never thought she would become a world class athlete.
She joined the track team in middle school not to compete, but to build connections with classmates she rarely knew for longer than a few months. But somewhere along the way, Burnett found that each helped maintain the other.
During her youth, a sense of place was far from a constant for Burnett. She spent her elementary years at six di� erent schools in Washington, Oregon and Arizona and moved three times during her freshman year of high school alone. A� er spending time at Newport, Skyline and Kentlake, Burnett and her family moved back to Arizona for her � nal two years of high school.
“It was a lot easier in elementary school,” she said. “In high school you have made more of those deep connec-tions and that makes it a lot harder.”
With her life in a seemingly constant state of change, track and � eld became one of the few reliable outlets for Burnett.
She initially raced in more traditional sprints and dis-tance events, but a� er being introduced to race walking by a teammate, Burnett found her niche.
“I was trying everything,” Burnett said. “For the � rst few years, I just hopped in and competed.”
As she grew more comfortable with a sport that is o� en overlooked by mainstream media and fans, Burnett also found herself achieving at greater levels than she ever had. Wins at local meets turned into regional and national appearances and eventually a spot on the University of Arizona’s team in the javelin throw.
But a� er a year in Tucson, it was clear the chemistry was lacking. In the course of researching potential spots for a transfer, Burnett remembered a friend and teammate from high school that was at William Penn University, an NAIA classi� ed school in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
As she quali� ed for nationals and earned honors throughout the indoor and outdoor seasons for the States-men in virtually every � eld event including pole vault, heptathlon, javelin and high jump, triple jump and discus, Burnett realized race walking could be her ticket to some-thing even bigger.
“At � rst, when I said I was going a� er this goal of the Olympic Trials and the Olympic team, everyone kind of
said, ‘whatever’,” Burnett said. “But now I think they are starting to realize there could be some opportunities.”
No longer the inexperienced seventh-grader joining the team to meet friends and score a quick trip to nationals, Burnett � nished fourth in the IAAF Race Walking Cup Trials in April and earned a spot in the World Race Walk-ing Cup in Saransk, Russia. She trains by walking around 70 miles per week.
While her goal has long been qualifying for the 2016 Olympics, Burnett will be in the � eld in Eugene on July 1 to try and qualify four years ahead of schedule. A spot on the team headed to London would be another unex-pected accomplishment and put Burnett at the top of race walking’s tightly knit community. But whether or not she makes the standard, there will be another opportunity in 2016. More importantly, there is the companionship and community she sought all along.
“We’re kind of like a dysfunctional family,” Burnett said. “We always support each other and we are all good friends. � ey are the people I can always go back to.”
Always on the move On a warm, early June morning, Tiger Mountain is buzzing.
Most of the dozens of hikers take to the trails with backpacks, walking sticks or leashed dogs in tow. Only Ed Vervoot and Sally Davies head out packing a chainsaw.
As others use the miles of trail that cover Tiger as an escape from the din of city life, Vervoot and Davies have a far more pragmatic goal in mind: clear the trail.
Vervoot has been at it for 12 years while Davies is the veteran. She has some 30 years of formal and informal trail maintenance experi-ence because as she put it, “Somebody has got to do it.”
Both are on the board of directors for the Issaquah Alps Trail Club, which used to run regular work parties in the area. When those ended a year ago, Vervoot and Davies couldn’t just sit idly by. � ey remove brush that encroaches on the paths, replace worn tread and even clear fallen trees, hence the chainsaw.
“We cleared 28 trees in one day dur-ing the winter,” Davies said. “Later that week, we got 22 more just o� one trail.”
Both retirees, Vervoot and Davies said they each spend around 100 days per year working on the trails of Tiger Mountain. Davies has also worked with groups like Wom-en in the Woods, a project through Mountains-to-Sound Greenway that encourages women to become involved in trail advocacy through specially designed projects.
� e Greenway, Washington Trails Association and Department of Natural Resources also have either paid sta� or volunteers on the trails throughout the year. But with far more wilderness than man hours and without chainsaws, there is still an over� ow of work.
Hiking has been much more than a recreational outlet for Davies, it has quite literally kept her upright. When her phy-sician suggested knee replacement surgery, Davies balked a� er hearing horror stories from friends who were younger than her and had become invalids a� er the procedure.
“I told them I would do the surgery if they could promise I would be able to run again,” Davies said. “� ey couldn’t promise, so I decided not to have the surgery.”
What she did instead was dedicate herself to reclaiming the joint one mile at a time by walking the hills in her Bel-levue neighborhood and of course, getting on the trails as much as her body allows. Aside from the physical bene� ts of staying active, Davies and Vervoot both take pride in maintaing trails so many in the area use for respite.
“I just love being out here,” Davies said.

The Bellevue Boys & Girls Club will team up with the new Walmart
Neighborhood Market at Kelsey Creek Center to kick off the club’s BE Healthy BE
Great summer campaign.Equipped with personal
pedometers, T-shirts and
water, 100 club members will set off at 11 a.m. June 29 on their first two-mile
walk. Throughout the summer each member will track their mileage as part of a clubwide competition designed to get kids active.
Since the 1970s the rate of obesity in the U.S. has more than doubled for 12–19 year olds and more than tripled for 6-11 year
olds. According to a Belle-vue School District report, only 13 percent of 12th graders in Bellevue report being physically active 60 minutes per day; 46 percent of 12th graders report three or more hours of watching TV, playing video games or using the computer for fun on an average school day.
“The good news is that there is something we can do.” said Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue CEO Kathy Haggart. “We can get out in front of this problem by taking on childhood obesity head on.”
To combat the situation, the Bellevue club follows a national program that pro-vides healthy snacks daily, teaches kids about making healthy decisions through nutrition education and cooking classes, and gets them moving, Haggart added.
