    Art Gonzales has experienced good times and the toughest situations.

    He worked for equipment rental com-panies for seven years in Lake City and Bothell before the economy burst and he lost his job.

    First thing that happened, I couldnt pay my car payment, I couldnt pay my one-bedroom apartment. Its a pride thing. I wasnt gonna run around and tell my friends, Im gonna be homeless, so I just kept it to myself, said Gonzales, who stayed at Tent City 4, built myself back up, got me a job, moved out within 90 days and, again, that company (a millwork busi-ness in Woodinville) shut down.

    Gonzales was again minus funds to pay the rent on his new apartment and he headed back to Tent City 4.

    These days, the 44-year-old mans the front desk as camp adviser at the latest Tent City 4 location at St. Jude Parish at 10526 166th Ave. N.E. in Redmond. This is the fourth time in recent years that the homeless camp which is spon-

    sored and managed by SHARE/WHEEL (Seattle Housing and Resource Efforts and Womens Housing, Equality, and Enhance-ment League) has set up in Redmond at St. Jude. SHARE/WHEEL established the first Tent City in 1990.

    Tent City 4 opened here on Jan. 13 and will stay for 90 days. It is a self-operated and self-governed, democratic society, and the residents hold weekly meetings and have a strict code of conduct for things such as drugs, alcohol and violence.

    Presently, about 40 people are stay-ing at the camp, 30 men and 10 women, Gonzales said.

    Everything is going great. Weve been accepted very well and warmly from the community. (There are) no problems or anything with the camp, Gonzales said.

    Gonzales noted that many of the resi-dents have jobs and try to save up their pennies so they can get an apartment, rent a room, get back into mainstream society instead of living in the tent.

    Its been about a year and a half since Borders in Redmond Town Center (RTC) has closed and the search to find a new tenant or tenants to occupy the former bookstore continues.

    Christina Henning, senior marketing manager for RTC, said they have had a lot of interest in the space and they are still looking for a business that would be a good fit. There are many types of businesses that can move into the space, she said, including stores that sell apparel for men, women and children or shoes. Hen-ning said it is also possible for a

    restaurant to fill the space.Theres a lot of options,

    and when we find the right retailer or retailers, well mutu-ally know its a good fit and let our shoppers and community know as soon as we can, she said.

    The vacant location is 25,000 square feet pretty big for a Borders store, Henning said, crediting the stores size and corner location in the town center as one of the reasons why the store was among the last to close when Borders Group, Inc. went out of busi-ness.

    Because the space is so large, Henning said there is potential to break it into smaller spaces.

    As of 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, 60 search-and-rescue volunteers from five counties had not located a Redmond man who was last heard from by a friend last Sunday after-noon.

    Redmond Police Department spokesman Jim Bove said the volunteers from King, Pierce,

    Snohomish, Lewis and Thurston counties were looking for Ira Thomas Clodfelter, 28, since 8 a.m. on Thursday at

    Rattlesnake Mountain in North Bend. A rescue helicopter was also on the scene for a while.

    Clodfelter failed to show up for work

    this week, which led his employer to call the police. Clodfelters

    Redmond detectives have learned that Clod-felter made comments recently about going hiking in that area. Bove said detectives discov-ered that Clodfelter bought a GPS unit on Saturday and purchased water and granola bars on Sunday. Cell phone records note that he last

    used his phone at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, and Bove added that they are look-ing into whom Clodfelter called.

    Everything leads us to believe he was there for a hike, Bove said. Detec-tives also noted that Clodfelters day pack is missing.

    Clodfelter is a white male, 5-foot-4, 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is last known to be wear-ing a blue zip-up hooded sweatshirt, blue jean pants and hiking boots.

    Redmond Police in-

    vestigators have learned that Clodfelter suffers from cystic fibrosis but is high functioning. There is also a concern that he suffers from depression. It is unknown whether he has any of his medica-tions with him.

    Bove noted that volun-teers planned to search until about 5 p.m. on Thursday and it is not

    known whether they will continue the search on Friday. On Wednesday, about 30 volunteers searched for Clodfelter from morning until about 5 p.m.

    If anyone has informa-tion regarding Clod-felters disappearance, contact the Redmond Police Department at (425) 556-2500.

    February 1, 2013, marked the 10th an-niversary of National Wear Red Day, an event that was inspired to help raise aware-ness of the shocking frequency of heart dis-ease in women. That first National Wear Red Day in 2003 subsequently motivated the American Heart Association to create Go Red for Women, a social initiative in-tended to increase awareness, educate and inspire women to take action in the fight against heart disease. Funds raised for this initiative are also used to support scientific research and develop new tools and treat-ments in the fight against heart disease. Go Red for Women is QFCs Charity of the Month for February.

    Here are some sobering facts provided by the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S. It accounts for 1 of every 3 womens deaths. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors that can lead to heart dis-ease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Heart disease can affect women of all ages, even women who lead healthy lifestyles, if they have other risk factors. 64 percent of women who die suddenly from coronary

    heart disease had no previous symptoms. Despite those statis-tics, only about 20% of women believe that heart disease is the greatest health threat they face.

    Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association are combatting heart disease through awareness and educa-tion and by motivating women to take action. Awareness in-cludes understanding the symp-toms of a heart attack, which can be different in women than in men. Womens symptoms can include shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain. Other symptoms women should look out for are dizziness, light-headedness or fainting, pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen and extreme fa-tigue.

    Knowing those symptoms is important, but wouldnt it be even better to avoid those symptoms? And that means taking actions to reduce the risk of ever having a heart attack. Some of the actions the American Heart Association recommends are: not smoking, managing your blood sugar, get-

    ting your blood pressure under control, lowering your cholesterol, knowing your family history of heart disease, staying ac-tive, losing weight and eating healthfully.

    Eating healthfully will have multiple benefits. A diet rich in a variety of veg-etables and fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains can be a great de-fense against the onset of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. The AHA recommends that an adult consum-ing 2,000 calories daily should aim for:

    Fruits and vegetables: At least 4.5 cups a day.

    Fish (preferably oily fish, like salmon): At least two 3.5-ounce servings a week.

    Fiber-rich whole grains: At least three 1-ounce servings a day.

    Nuts, legumes and seeds: At least 4 servings a week, opting for unsalted varieties whenever possible

    Although downtown Redmond has been desig-nated as an urban center, the City of Redmond is making an effort to ensure residents, workers and visitors will still be able to enjoy a fair amount of green space.

    In addition to Downtown Park, which is still in its early development stages, city officials are working to turn a former heron rook-ery into a public park.

    The 4.6-acres of land located just west of where Bear Creek Parkway and Leary Way Northeast intersect across the street from the Redmond Satur-day Market and southwest of Half Price Books used to be the nesting site for a group of herons. This was about 10 years ago, but City of Redmond park opera-

    tions supervisor Teresa Klu-ver said the birds moved. Herons relocate frequently and Kluver said they think this particular group moved to a location around Mary-moor Park just outside of Redmond.

    Kluver said the city didnt want to do anything to disturb the downtown site while the herons were there, but now that they have vacated the area for

    about a decade, the city has begun restoration work. Redmond recently received a grant from the Washing-ton State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which funded a Washing-ton Conservation Corps (WCC) crew to come out for three weeks at the end of last year to begin remov-ing non-native invasive plants primarily include blackberries, English ivy

    and English holly.They made a huge

    amount of headway, Kluver said about how much work the WCC crew completed.

    Kluver said these plants have just taken over the area. These non-native species grow over the native vegetation and are able to outcompete whether that means blocking sunlight for other plants or growing up trees and as a result, break-ing limbs. This causes prob-lems for the local wildlife, which needs a more diverse ecological system to survive and thrive.

    Currently, the invasive plants that have been removed are decomposing onsite on racks above the ground so they cant reroot, Kluver said. She added that in addition to remov-ing these plants, the WCC crew has unfortunately also removed a fair amount of garbage that has been

    thrown into the area.The next step for the city

    is to do a health assessment of the remaining plants there and then take soil tests to figure out which plants will survive on the site.

    Kluver said the city will also work with the Green Redmond Partnership to start an active stewardship of the forest and soon-to-be-official park. She said this is to get the downtown community energized and involved.

    Its their forest, Kluver said.

    At the moment, no offi-cial restoration events have been planned but Kluver said they hope to have some things set for late spring and summer, adding that they should be doing some planting come fall of this year.

    While many people refer to the site as the heron

    rookery, that is the sites unofficial name.

    Carolyn Hope, a senior park planner for the City of Redmond, said they began the naming process at this weeks Parks and Trails Commission meet-ing Thursday evening to discuss naming options for the park.

    If they need more time, we might extend it on to the next month, she said, adding that the commission may ask for public input but it has not come to that yet.

    Once the commission has decided on a name, they will make a recommenda-tion to the City Council, who will make the final decision.

    It could take three or four months or so, depend-ing on how many names are vetted and so forth, Hope said about the naming process.

    The Davis Fund has donated a new truck that will help to connect Hopelinks five food banks in north and east King County.

    The new commercial delivery truck will be used to connect donations to food banks and clients to food for more efficient

    and effective distribution, and also will enable the agency to create new partnerships with other local food banks. Hopelink food banks are located in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Sno-Valley (Carnation) and Shoreline.

    Last year, nearly 16,000 people

    received more than 3 million pounds of food through Hopelink to improve their health and finan-cial and food security. About 80 percent of the food offered through the agencys food banks is do-nated by local stores and collected through community food drives

    and individual donations, with the other 20 percent purchased in bulk.

    Foundation Manager Andrew Davis noted that the new truck will help Hopelink create a long-term supply solution for Seattle area food banks while helping provide for the most basic human need.

    By NadiNe Stewart aNd Michael OrBiNO

    As the pace of our lives moves faster and faster and the demands on our time increase, the ties to our community become even more impor-tant. A strong community provides us with a stable base that helps us deal with the pressures of daily life.

    At the Y, strengthening community is our cause, and on the Eastside, the Coal Creek and Bellevue Family YMCAs provide an anchor to our community that gives all of us re-gardless of age, income or background the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

    At the YMCA, strengthening community means much more than providing a place to swim laps or lift weights, and while physical health is incredibly important to a persons well-being, the Y does so much more.

    Every day, we work side by side with com-munity members to address the most pressing needs in Redmond, Renton, Newcastle, Bellevue and Kirkland. We have taken on the aspiring goal to prepare all children for college, career and life. Through toddler, preschool, school age and teen programs, the Y is dedicated to ensur-ing that children are equipped with the academic and social skills needed to build a strong founda-tion for a lifetime of learning.

    Preschool parent, Tia, says, As a single, work-ing mom, coming to the Y was one of the best things I ever did. It provides reliable, quality child care, and Jordan loves being at the Y while Im at work. I have such peace of mind, knowing that he is in good hands, enjoying fun activities and learning important skills like swimming.

    Right now, the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) only provides subsidy for families at or below 100 percent of the pov-erty line ($23,050 for a family of four) creating a significant gap between those who qualify for aid and those that can actually afford quality care. With that, working families often settle for substandard care due to cost or choice or, out of necessity, have a parent stay home. Both options lead to fewer developmental building blocks and reduced financial trajectory impacting academic and social outcomes over the long term.

    Across the YMCAs on the Eastside, we have provided 27 percent of children with financial aid scholarships with quality infant, toddler and preschool care who otherwise would not have been able to participate. This allows working families to fulfill their financial obligations and make ends meet. Their child(ren) will have posi-tive youth development experiences that ensure a smooth transition to kindergarten.

    YMCA Early Childhood Development pro-grams are crucial to a community. Children who attend organized preschool outscore all other kindergarteners, go to kindergarten with 10,000 more words in their vocabulary, are 34 percent

    more likely to reach basic achievement by age 14 and 27 percent more likely to graduate high school.

    There are many others who could benefit greatly from the services and programs offered by the YMCA and, because of this need, the Y is launching its annual community support campaign. Your financial gift will help continue the important work the Y does, be it providing kids a safe place to learn and grow before or after school; offering families opportunities to recon-nect and grow together; or providing people of all backgrounds access to education and training to help them reach their full potential.

    As if there werent enough intense, mind-bog-gling performances already.

    And then along comes Lara Jacobs Rigolo to put us on the edges of our seats with her Manipulation segment during Cirque du Soleils Amaluna, which opened last week under the big top at Marymoor Park.

    Aside from music playing softly in the background, the big top was silent as Jacobs Rigolo carefully bal-

    anced small to medium to lengthy palm rib upon palm rib as we mentally urged her on to success.

    At first, she was quiet,

    matching the crowds hushed demeanor.

    Soon, however, we could hear her light breathing through a microphone as

    she concentrated on achiev-ing her goal of keeping those palm ribs together, holding them above her head with one hand and then balancing them on her head.

    At one point, when she still had five sticks to go, I wondered why she didnt just stop and bask in the glory of balancing 10 of them. Wasnt that good enough?

    Nope. The Balance Goddess

    pushed herself further to reach her limit of 15 palm ribs, which in total weighed around 45 pounds.

    Im always up for find-ing inspiration to take things beyond what were

    required to do in life, whether its on the job, at home or in the community.

    There are no limits to what we can achieve, and Jacobs Rigolo proves that we can put in a little more effort in order make life more fulfilling for us or by lending a hand to someone in need.

    Were always balanc-ing tasks in our lives, and sometimes it seems as if theres too much on our plates to put in a complete effort something that will make ourselves proud.

    Watching the Balance Goddess gave me a boost of confidence and hope that we can all put in that extra effort each day.

    After 30-plus years of business and three different locations, McDonalds Book Exchange in Redmond will be moving once again come June.

    But owner Anne St. Ger-main is still not sure where they will go.

    She said they are moving from their location at 16415 N.E. 83rd St. to make way for a private housing devel-opment.

    The new development will take up a large portion of the southeast corner of Northeast 83rd Street and 164th Avenue Northeast and St. Germain said they are not the only business who will be moving.

    Gary Lee, a senior planner for the City of Redmond, said the new building will be a 209-unit apartment build-ing, with ground floor com-mercial businesses facing 164th Avenue Northeast.

    The development also fronts on Northeast 83rd Street and the southwest corner of Northeast 83rd Street and 165th Avenue Northeast, Lee said.

    McDonalds, which is leasing the building it is in, received notice of the

    development in the summer of 2012 when the property was sold and St. Germain said they are still looking for a new space to lease.

    The current location, where they have been since 2005, is 2,800 square feet. This includes an expansion St. Germain had done about a year ago. This added about 500 square feet. She said it

    would be almost impossible to find a new space the same size and same-styled build-ing, which had previously been a house. And if she did find one, she probably wouldnt be able to afford it. For the new location, St. Germain said she is looking for no less than 2,000 square feet. She would also like to stay in the downtown core, if

    possible.When you move, it takes

    a long, long time for people to move with you, she said, adding that most people will assume a business is closed if they are not aware of a move. We absolutely have to find some place right around the corner.

    Although McDonalds is not planning on closing,

    it may possibly move out of downtown, depend-ing on its new location. If this happens, it will be the second time in two years that downtown Redmond has lost a bookstore, having lost the Borders in Redmond Town Center in the summer of 2011.

    I think its always a sad thing when a community loses a place (where) they can find reading material, said Aaron Oesting who is a cluster manager for King County Library Systems and oversees the Redmond, Red-mond Ridge and Kirkland locations.

    He said reading and literacy are basic and fundamental skills needed to function in society that need to be maintained. In

    addition, he said non-fiction is a great way for people to learn about the world, while fiction can be a great source of entertainment.

    Throughout her search for a new space, St. Germain said she has found a few locations that may work, but they would mean a major re-duction in inventory because they are much smaller than their current space.

    McDonalds provides a very specific service to bookworms in that readers can trade and recycle their books. St. Germain said as a result, they will often have more than just an authors latest release, which comes in handy for customers who find a book they really enjoy and want to read more of the authors works.

    mcDonalds Book Exchange will soon be turning a new page with move

    For many people, the term debutante brings to mind visions of fancy gowns and tuxedos, a fair amount of ballroom-style dancing and not much else.

    Redmond resident Esther Hansen is hoping to change this with The Mod-ern Debutante program, a 10-week empower-ment nonprofit program she founded for young women from 15-18 years old.

    As part of the program, the teens will receive four dance lessons to learn poise, grace and confidence. Hansen said debutantes will receive instruction in the waltz, foxtrot, swing and salsa from Briora Ballroom Dance Studio in Over-lake. She added that the girls and their chaperones will also prepare a short Viennese waltz routine for the Procession of Debutantes, which will be performed during The Modern Debutante Ball at the end of the program.

    Hansen said the ball, which will be at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, and the Vi-ennese waltz routine are a way to pay homage to traditional debutante pro-grams, but they are only one part of her program.

    (The ball is) not the event itself, she said. Its just the conclusion.

    The event in the Modern Debutante program is the personal growth the girls experi-ence during the 10-week period.

    In addition to the dance lessons, debutantes will attend three educa-tion seminars on women in history, women in business and women in philanthropy and the community.

    They will also receive practical lessons from local professionals and

    businesses:Jennifer Beardall, a

    local certified public accountant (CPA), will lead a class on personal finance and budgeting. The course will stress the

    importance of personal finance, as well as provide the teens with the skills they need to take control of their financial future.

    Platinum Salon in Bellevue will host a course focusing on the

    connection between inner and outer beauty. Debutantes will learn to embrace their inner strength and how to have that reflected in their outward appearance. In addition, the girls have the opportunity to have a one-on-one consultation with a hairstylist, as well as an optional makeover or hairstyling appoint-ment. Coloring and cuts are also available with parental consent.

    The final practical

    lesson will be dining etiquette, which will be presented by Final Touch Finishing School at Sages Restaurant in Redmond. Debutantes will enjoy a four-course meal, as well as receive instruction on proper dining etiquette.

    Leading up to the ball, debutantes will receive a final appointment at Platinum Salon to get their hair styled for the event. They will also have a personal photography session with Seattle-based Meryl Schenker Photog-raphy.

    Hansen said traditional debutante programs tend to have negative and archaic connotations, which is why she is in-cluding the seminars and practical lessons in her program. However, she also has a strong sense of tradition and its impor-tance. Hansen said in a post-Title IX (the law that made gender-based dis-crimination in education programming and activi-ties illegal) world, there is so much focus on equal-

    ity that traits tied with tradition such as grace and etiquette get placed on the back burner.

    Im trying to bridge the qualities of the tra-ditional debutante with the empowerment of the modern woman, she said.

    The goal of the Mod-ern Debutante is to bring the two frames of mind together and instill confi-dence in the girls so they realize they can become anything they want. Whether they set out to be a surgeon, a school teacher, a stay-at-home mom or a lawyer, Hansen said she wants the young ladies to realize that all of these are valid choices and what they learn in her program is applicable to all areas.

    Anyone can learn and become a better them, she explained.

    What these possible divi-sions could look like would depend on the tenant and what they need. Henning said some businesses may need a space with high ceilings while others may only need one floor. Others

    still may need two floors but not all of the horizontal space.

    Although the future of the former Borders location is still up in the air, Hen-ning said they do have a few businesses moving in to RTC and set to open later

    this year.BJs Restaurant and Bre-

    whouse is currently under construction on the south side of the complex. The restaurant is located next to Claim Jumper along Bear Creek Parkway, between 164th and 166th avenues northeast, where Desert Fire used to be.

    BJs offers a variety of dining options including sandwiches, pasta, burgers and shareable appetizers.

    However, the restaurants specialty is deep-dish pizza. They also serve hand-craft-ed beer.

    Thatll be a wonder-ful addition to the center, Henning said.

    Another new addition will be Kitanda, a Brazilian coffeehouse based in Kirk-land, which will be moving into the former Tullys Cof-fee location at the corner of Northeast 74th Street and 164th Avenue Northeast.

    Henning said RTC will be donating the space at 7303 164th Ave. N.E. to Venues for Artists in the Local Area, Eastside (VALA). This space will become the VALA Art Center and is set to open this spring. The space will feature artist residencies, artwork installations, public events connecting artist to artists and artists to the public and educational programs for all ages.

    The art center will be a wonderful addition to Redmond Town Center, Henning said. Its definitely a learning opportunity.

    She said the town center has always been a big sup-porter of art in the commu-nity, adding that the RTC Arts Festival and Sidewalk Sale will be returning this year and will coincide with the weekend of Derby Days.

    In late 2013, 24 Hour Fit-ness will be opening at 7320 170th Ave. N.E., where Top Foods used to be. Henning said this location will have a lap pool, basketball court, kids club and childcare.

    living nearby, camp residents are subject to a criminal-background check and sex-offender check, Gonzales and a SHARE spokesperson said.

    On Nov. 8, 2012, a man residing at Tent City 4 in Kirkland was charged with raping a child in Tacoma before he moved to the homeless encampment at St. John Mary Vianney Catholic Church last October.

    Tent City 4 in Kirkland faced another problem dur-ing that time frame when a group of residents left amidst a dispute between residents and SHARE. The split was the result of a decision that

    the camps leadership made without SHAREs approval to require random weekly criminal background checks on residents. As a result, SHARE barred nine residents from the camp.

    Gonzales said that every-thing is back on track with the move to Redmond. Tent City 4s leadership is solid, he added.

    So is Tent Citys relation-ship with the St. Jude Parish community, according to Gonzales and Jerry Kuntz, parish administrator.

    The father from the church and all the parish-ioners and everybody have treated us with kindness.

    They let us have our meetings inside, Gonzales said.

    Were happy to have them here again, said Kuntz, who added that the parish provides some food for the residents, a shower hook up for gray water and an electri-cal hook up for some of their power needs.

    When Tent City first set up at St. Jude about five years ago, some parishioners wondered why church offi-cials were allowing homeless people to stay there.

    Kuntz said, it was fear of the unknown and concern that Tent City occupants might be putting churchgo-ers and nearby residents in danger. Hes had many discussions with people about why this is the right thing for the parish to do: We feel its imperative in the Gospel to take care of the poor.

    Kuntz and Redmond Po-lice Department Lt. Charlie Gorman said there have been no problems since Tent City 4 set up in January.

    Everything seems to be running OK, said Gorman.

    Weve got a good working relationship between our city planners, us and the Tent City administrators. Were not anticipating any issues.

    Redmond resident Emily Papel has lived with her fam-ily across from Tent City 4 on 165th Place Northeast for five years and said that she hasnt experienced any trouble with the campers.

    She noted that it was a little disconcerting this time around because of the Kirkland arrest. The family is also trying to sell their house, so they dont want potential buyers to be wary of the neighborhood.

    It does not bother us. In fact, the police presence is heightened, weve got less speeders, which is great for our kids because they walk to school still, Papel said. Generally, we feel safe and were happy that people have a warm place to stay.

    Papel added that residents get a Tent City flier on their doorsteps about 15 days before the encampment sets up. Theres also a community

    meeting for residents to voice their opinions about the scenario.

    Some of the neighbors are a lot less cool with it than we are, so you do get a lot of disgruntled people coming and saying Lets go rally at the meeting or something, she said.

    While sitting at the front desk, Gonzales said theres nothing for people to worry about. Tent City 4 is inhabited by people who are trying to put their lives back together after falling on hard times.

    When theyre not working, they watch TV in the com-mon area and check their email on the shared com-puter. For those out of work, they scour the job listings on Internet sites, hoping for something to come through for them.

    Their kitchen contains food that is donated by community members, and of course there are the meals that the church often provides.

    Gonzales said each camper gets six blankets to help conquer the cold during the

    winter, but they can always use more.

    Presently, Gonzales who was married for 10 years and has a 16-year-old daughter in Bothell is looking for a job so he can get back on his feet again.

    I dont have any money, but I can put forth my time to help out, he said about working the front desk and discussing the need for Tent City 4 with community members.

    I know that within a year, Im not gonna be homeless, Im gonna be back having my own apartment, Gonzales said. Theres people who are like, Well, thats never gonna happen to me. Well, everybody that sits in a house, watching their TV it could happen to them. Its a life-changing experience.

    As we all know, once you get knocked down, youve still got to pick yourself up and keep going. Its how life is, he added. Its made me stronger and more confident. I already did it once, I can just do it again.

    Edmund C. Ed Hetterle10/09/1934 01/21/2013

    Edmund C. Hetterle, known to all as Ed, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, January 21, 2013. If you have ever wondered if someone could die from a broken heart, our dad is proof that it happens. He sorely missed his beloved Kathleen who passed away only eight months ago.

    Ed enjoyed spending time with his family and friends; he loved to talk and would pick up the phone to call anyone he happened to be thinking of just to see what they were up to. He was also known as a talented handyman and the Redmond home has many Ed effects inside and out. He loved listening to music, looking at maps, and talking to people. He liked a good joke and recounting stories of work, friends, and family fun. He was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dad was many things to us; he could be cantankerous and demanding, yet generous and loving. He instilled a strong work ethic, valued self-reliance, hard work, and didnt mince words. You always knew where you stood, and you always knew you were loved. Well miss him.

    Ed was preceded in death by his beloved wife Kathleen, daughter Mary Beth Walker, and parents Edmund B.P. Hetterle and Isabelle Domde. He is survived by his sister Barbara (Bill) Turner and their family in Phoenix, Arizona. He is also survived by his children Candace Hetterle of Monroe, WI, Tom Hetterle (Margie) of Kirkland, Bart Hetterle (Katy) of Guemes Island, Cindy Sullivan (Dan) of Arlington, Teena Logan (Paul) of Tulalip, nephew Dave Thornton of Mountlake Terrace, Pete Hetterle of Entiat, Rebecca Villiers (Doug) of Sammamish, Tonya Blair of Sammamish, Michelle Lindell of East Wenatchee, sixteen grandchildren and two great-grandsons. According to his wishes, his ashes will be scattered into the Entiat River by family in the spring.

    The family will be holding an Open House at the family home in Redmond on Saturday, February 9th from 1-4pm. All are invited to drop in. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory can be made to the Dreier-Newton Scholarship Fund at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

    A Little Piece of France in Your Neighborhood

    NATHAN URETA

    Families in the Se-attle area have a new way of finding things to do outdoors thanks to a Redmond-based startup company.

    Tohula is a new online service that recommends outdoor activities to fami-lies, like hiking and cycling, and nearby places to try them.

    Just like Netflix can recommend videos, we understand the families and we can recommend great things for them to do outdoors, said co-founder Sebastien Fouillade. Well look at the weather, well look at the distance from you and well show you great things to do this weekend.

    While adventuring, families can participate in quests, ranging from

    scavenger hunts to tak-ing themed photos. Those who complete a number of quests can receive rewards from partnered organi-zations like Ice Breaker, a New Zealand-based clothing company that uses compostable material for their products.

    Users can share their ac-complishments and photos with each other through Facebook.

    As parents, we all love to share pictures of our kids, said Tina Schwien, family adviser for Tohula. We can potentially create postcards or trip journals of cool things weve done with our family.

    Tohulas services are available free of charge. Its funding at this time comes through its partnerships.

    Tohula began as two separate companies. While still working at Microsoft

    in 2011, Fouillade founded GeoBongo, which had the same focus on outdoor family time as Tohula. At around the same time, co-founder Matthieu Lefort began working on Week-enture, a similar service geared toward outdoors enthusiasts.

    Lefort piqued Fouillades interest after receiving an email through the Founder Institute, an organization dedicated to accelerating startup growth.

    He looked crazy, Fouil-lade recalled. But it was a good kind of crazy.

    After weeks of com-munication and two days of backpacking in Andora, a small country nestled between France and Spain, Lefort and Fouillade decid-ed to merge companies into one. They called it Tohula: tohu being the word for

    New Tohula website offers customized way for families to explore the outdoors

    Tohula was founded with the idea of fami-lies spending time away from technology to reconnect with nature.

    Parents have that responsibility, said Lefort. I have a bunch of friends complaining about how they have their kids on PlaySta-tions, but who bought the PlayStation in the first place? Its easy to blame the kids.

    Tohulas website is updated weekly with recommended locations based on factors like ac-cessibility, distance and safety. One of the latest areas to be recommend-ed, the Redmond Water-shed Preserve, exceeds these requirements with its well-maintained trails and close proxim-ity to suburban areas. It is also listed as a rookie trail on Tohulas difficulty scale.

    You can enjoy nature on different levels, Lefort explained. Were trying to provide the right information that

    most people lack today.Parks that dont meet

    Tohulas requirements may be placed on a blacklist of sorts. In the near future, Fouil-lade and company will approach parks and recreation offices to find ways to improve them.

    Fouillades goal is to branch out to Oregon near the end of the year, hopefully reaching as far as Northern California. But for now, Tohula is focusing on the Seattle area.

    (We want to) get a good number of custom-ers, have good reviews, ensure that their experi-ence is great, and have a system that scales up to another city, Fouillade said.

    A smartphone app is also in the works, which will use GPS signals to help families navi-gate while on quests. Fouillade likens it to a compass: something to be used periodically that shouldnt distract from the experience. The app is planned for later this year.

    Until then, Tohula will keep its weekly update schedule, even during

    the winter months.We probably picked

    the worst time of the year to launch an outdoor activity site, Fouillade said. But its probably the time when people need it the most.

    Love is in the air as Valen-tines Day rolls around again. During the course of your life, youve probably sent your share of flowers and candy. But if your Valentine is also your spouse and, in particular, your longtime spouse you may want to go beyond roses and chocolates this year to

    give a gift that can help lead to financial security.

    You can choose to make financial gifts in a number of ways, of course, and some of them could provide an immediate financial impact. But you may want to look even further down the road and consider what you can do for your spouse in the areas of insurance planning and estate considerations.

    For starters, do you have sufficient life insurance to help provide for your spouse and any children who may not yet be adults? Many people

    rely solely on their employ-ers group insurance, which is often insufficient to adequately cover all the costs associated with maintaining their families lifestyles not to mention future costs, such as paying for college. How much life insur-ance do you need? Theres no one right answer for everyone, so you may wish to consult with your financial adviser.

    Life insurance isnt the only type of protection you need to consider because you dont have to die to lose your income. In fact, statistically speak-ing, you are more likely to

    become disabled during your working years than you are to die which is why you need adequate disability income insurance. Your employer may provide disability coverage, but, as was the case with life insur-ance, it may not be sufficient. So you may also need to con-sider adding a private policy.

    While its important to maintain adequate life and disability insurance, its still not enough to ensure your spouse will be taken care of if he or she outlives you. You also need to ensure that your estate plans are in order.

    Toward that goal, you will need to work with your legal adviser to create the neces-sary legal documents, such as a will, a living trust, a durable power of attorney or whatever other arrangements may be appropriate for your situa-tion. In generating your estate plan, you must consider many factors: the amount of assets you have, how you want them divided, when you would like them distributed, and so on. In any case, estate planning can be complex, so you will need to work with your legal and tax advisers before putting any strategy into place.

    Life insurance, disability income insurance and an estate plan dont sound like particu-larly romantic gifts. And you

    cant really just give them on Valentines Day because it will take some time to assemble the insurance coverage and estate planning arrangements you need. But if you havent fully worked on these key parts of your financial strategy yet, perhaps Valentines Day will be a good time to start because once youve got all your protec-tion needs and estate planning taken care of, youre really giving your valentine some gifts that are designed to last a lifetime.

    This month, the Lake Washington College Foun-dation established the Ralph L. Jones Memorial Endow-ment, creating two new annual $3,000 scholarships for students.

    The new scholarships were made possible by a $150,000 donation from Redmond firm ABODA, in the name of former Lake Washington Institute of Technology

    (LWIT) instructor Ralph L. Jones, the ongoing scholar-

    ships will be avail-able to two LWIT students each year.

    A former combat Vietnam War veteran, Jones put himself through college after the war and eventually became an executive at the Four Seasons

    Hotels and Resorts. He brought his hospitality expertise to LWIT in the

    late 1980s, developing the colleges successful hotel management program. After more than 15 years of service at LWIT, he took a position at ABODA, where he ran the corporations hu-man resources department. Jones died in July 2012 after battling cancer.

    The amount of people Ralph impacted during his life is staggering, said Dave Caple, president and CEO of ABODA. In his memory we wanted to continue his impact on others for years

    to come. ABODA started the fund and its our hope that the initial investment, paired with good investing, will allow us to continue to provide this scholarship in perpetuity. We also hope that others touched by Ralphs life might consider contributing to the fund as it grows, allowing us to help even more students down the road.

    While the hotel man-agement program was discontinued after Jones departure from the college,

    his memory lives on in the lives of the LWIT faculty, staff and students.

    Ralph was a self-made man, who overcame ex-treme adversities to make something of himself, said Doug Emory, LWIT dean of instruction, academic core, hospitality and service.

    He was an inspiration to many of us. The idea behind this scholarship is to help people like him, students who are work-ing hard to put themselves through school and often

    arent eligible for grants, but still need that little extra help to reach their educa-tional goals.

    Current students at LWIT are eligible to apply for the scholarship, which will pay out $1,000 a quarter for three quarters. For more information on applying for the scholarship or making additional con-tributions in Jones name, contact the Lake Washing-ton College Foundation at (425) 739-8134 or [email protected].

    The Seattle Seahawks won the 2013 NFL Kick Hunger Challenge for the areas hungry families.

    This annual competition pits NFL teams, players and a local chef against each other as they raise money for their local food

    bank. Emerging victorious this year is chef John How-ie of Redmond along with former Seahawk Craig Ter-rill. Through their efforts, the duo has raised nearly $33,000 for Food Lifeline, plus an additional $10,000 award for first place.

    Food Lifeline is thank-ful to chef Howie, Craig Terrill and all the Sea-hawks fans for winning the Kick Hunger Challenge, said Linda Nageotte, CEO and president of Food Lifeline. The Seahawks fans are a part of every

    victory on the field and are now our 12th Man in the fight against hunger here in Western Washington.

    With the funds raised via the Kick Hunger Chal-lenge, Food Lifeline will be able to provide more than 120,000 meals for people in

    need in Western Washing-ton.

    In addition to winning the Kick Hunger Chal-lenge, Terrill was awarded the Lou Groza Award for the player who exceeded expectations for hunger relief.
