AtWork! to phase out recycling center By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com Due to the arrival of improved curbside recycling and other recycling services, the need for a recycling drop-off center in Issaquah is much smaller than it used to be. With that and other factors in mind, such as the age of the equipment in the recycling center, AtWork!, the Bellevue based nonprofit, is starting to phase out its Issaquah recycling center at 970 Seventh Ave. N.W. AtWork! Chief Executive Officer Christina Brandt said she wasn’t sure when the recycling drop-off center first opened its doors. She did say it was one of the first At-Work! centers, and a press release noted the center has been around for decades. “AtWork! has been transforming its services for people with disabilities for the last eight years,” Brandt said in the release, “moving away from facility-based services to community services that are integrated and inclusive.” In short, Brandt said later,
AtWork! is beginning to concentrate on placing people with disabilities in jobs around the community, places where the workers earn at least minimum wage or better. In 2014, AtWork! placed 57 people in jobs around the area, Brandt said. The number should reach about 70 for the current year. All in all, Brandt said AtWork! has some 200 people working in jobs making an average wage of $11.75 per hour. “It’s supported employment really,” Brandt said. While the recycling center is being phased out, Brandt said a popular rumor about the city forcing the center to close their doors just isn’t true. The rumor says the city changed the zoning for the property, giving AtWork! no choice but to shutter the facility. The area was rezoned as part of the Central Issaquah Plan, Brandt said. The plan is the city’s attempt to bring uniform zoning to the central part of the See ATWORK!, Page 3
Car show, Make Music Day are both June 21 By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Sometimes, the stars align to bring together two things to make one memorable union, from lovestruck youths Romeo and Juliet to food pairings surf and turf. Issaquah residents will be the beneficiary of a quirk of the calendar, when two of the Downtown Issaquah Association’s biggest events of the year fall on the same day. The car show Fenders on Front Street is always on Father’s Day, which just so happens to fall on June 21, the same date for the annual Music Day. “So, they overlap this year and we thought this was a great way to incorporate the two,” said Karen Donovan, executive director of the DIA. “This will be an awesome event, with beautiful cars, lots of fun and tons of things to do.” But beware — Donovan added

City may ask voters to help fund $308 million in traffic solutions
By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@isspress.com
Issaquah voters could be asked to approve funding for transportation projects throughout the city as early as February 2016. During an eight-hour retreat held June 6, the Issaquah City Council came up with a final list of eight goals, including one dubbed, “Transportation Funding Strategy.” As the title implies, the idea is to come up with a way to fund the city’s roughly $96 million portion of the $308 million transportation concurrency plan adopted early this year. A local sales tax, a $50 car tab fee, a road levy or bonds, and
similar measures all have been mentioned at one time or another as possible funding sources. Some suggestions would require voter approval; some would not. City staff responded in April to early council discussions of their goals and the transportation funding question. “The time to act on transportation funding is now,” the response reads, noting a citizen survey named traffic as by far the No. 1 issue with residents. “That fact — coupled with what we have learned from our concurrency policy revamp — compels us to fund the needed improveSee TRAFFIC, Page 3

BABY BOOM
Cougar Mountain Zoo unveils newest animals By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com There are eight new reasons to visit the Cougar Mountain Zoo, and they are all irresistibly adorable. Cougar Mountain recently welcomed two emu chicks, two reindeer calves and four grey wolf pups to its zoo family. They don’t all have names yet, but the precious eight are already welcomed additions for zoo staff and fans, said Peter Rittler, president of the Zoological Society of Washington, which runs the Cougar Mountain Zoo. “Growth is the essence of life. If you don’t grow, you disappear,” Rittler said of the new additions. “We’re growing all the time.” The four wolf pups are the most newsworthy newcomers since their arrival adds a new species to the zoo’s repertoire, which already includes lemurs, tigers and, of course, cougars. Born in mid-April, the four male pups came from three different litters, said Cari McKinstry, promotions and public relations director for the zoo. After adopting them about a month ago, McKinstry said the pups are acclimating well with zoo staff. The public can see them in brief appearances every day during regular zoo hours at 11:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., weather permitting. “The important purpose of this right now isn’t so much that the visitors get to see the wolves, but that the wolves get used to the large crowds,” McKinstry said. “It’s an introduction on both halves.”
By Greg Farrar
Peter Rittler, president of the Zoological Society of Washington and founder of the Cougar Mountain Zoo, holds one of four grey wolf pups during a short, scheduled meet-and-greet with the public June 11.
The four currently unnamed pups are growing “a bit more confident” and a “little less wobbly on their legs” with each passing day, McKinstry said. Eventually, the four will grow to about 140-150 pounds and occupy an exhibit space near the tigers. The zoo’s other four newcomers all arrived by natural means, McKinstry said. “We just let them do their thing and then one morning we came out and we had a little addition,” McKinstry said of the zoo’s new reindeer calves. “Our reindeer went from nine to 10 and then two weeks later it went from 10 to 11.” It’s been a long time since the zoo welcomed a reindeer calf to its herd, but breeding season was obviously successful this year, McKinstry said. It’s not easy to tell when a
reindeer is pregnant, because of its winter coat, McKinstry said, but staff members hope for the best and know what to look for about springtime. The older of the two calves is a female, who has yet to be named, while the other calf is a male named Sven, a nod to the lovable reindeer in “Frozen.” “Our members who come all the time, they get to see a new animal, to kind of be part of its life, its growth, its introduction to the visitors and to the rest of the reindeer,” McKinstry said of the calves’ births. “So it’s really a whole zoo family event.” And last, but not least, the zoo improbably welcomed two baby emus a few months ago. It’s described as improbable, because it’s a rare occurrence. Emus are not often hatched naturally in zoos, but both Rittler and McKinstry said they think the recent mild winter might have something to do with the successful breeding. “There was no science involved. No equipment, no fertilization, hormones, anything like that. It was completely the emus,” McKinstry said. “We’ve tried for years and years and never succeeded,” Rittler added. The two little ones are currently separated from the adults for their own safety, Rittler said. Staff members don’t know the emus’ genders yet, as they await DNA tests; so, for now, they are affectionately referred to as “A” and “B.” The public can see the emu See ZOO, Page 3

On International Music Day, celebrated in more than 700 cities in 100 countries, musicians take to the streets, sidewalks and parks to perform. Entire communities come out to listen, dance and join in music-making experience. Issaquah’s celebration will be from 1-5 p.m. Donovan said Issaquah

The event culminates with a mass participation event where everyone is invited to bring his or her own instruments to play along to one song. However, due to Fenders on Front Street this year, the venues have been pared down to four locations — Pedestrian Park, Northwest Alder Street, the Music and Arts lot and Confluence Park. And the culminating song has been cancelled. Donovan said burgeoning musicians are still invited to join each other in any of the many corners of Confluence Park for impromptu busking or jamming.

for a variety of additional mobility and transportation improvements, including concurrency projects.” Concurrency projects are projects intended to address transportation and traffic issues created by new development as they occur. The council adopts its goals through a fairly formal internal process. As the funding goal read last week, the request was for the administration to come up with a funding scheme by August. The council was expected to adopt its new set of goals at its regular meeting June 15, after The Issaquah Press’ deadline.

city, with a dense mix of commercial and residential uses. But Brandt added the change in zoning played a “tiny little, small part” in AtWork!’s decision to close the recycling center. “It’s just outlived its usefulness,” she said of the center, adding that financially it made no sense for AtWork! to keep the center running. AtWork! will continue other enterprises, Brandt said, such as its electronic document management service, a packaging operation and a still growing landscaping program.
dent Paul Winterstein said he would not be in favor of tab fees, a sales tax increase or other similar measures, describing those mechanisms as regressive taxes. He said more progressive approaches such as property taxes might be more palatable. According to information provided by the city previously, a few traffic projects that might receive funding are: a new southbound right turn lane at Dogwood and Front streets; widening state Route 900 to three lanes between Maple Street and Newport Way; and a widening of the SR900 ramp to eastbound Interstate 90. There are numerous additional projects, including bike and pedestrian pathways, in the overall plan.

Capital-gains tax is best education funding option
A
capital-gains tax is the best option on the table to fully fund education in Washington state. Senate leaders have agreed on a bipartisan proposal to meet the state’s constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education and provide an equitable education for all students. They also agree more revenue will be needed — about $3.5 billion every two years — but now need to decide where it should come from. This would be a long-term funding source as lawmakers replace local education levies with state funding. This is a hard pill to swallow, especially for tax-averse Republicans who just won a majority in the state Senate. The leading options are increased property taxes or a limited tax on capital gains. Property-tax proposals so far would disproportionately place the burden on people who own homes and business properties in King County. That is not a reasonable fix and would compound the housing-affordability problem that now threatens growth in the core of the state’s economy. A capital-gains tax, with ironclad limitations to prevent it from being used for anything other than education, is more palatable. Capital-gains taxes are common — all but nine states have them, according to the Tax Foundation. Two capital-gains tax proposals are on the table. Neither would tax gains on the sale of residences, agricultural land or most livestock. Also safe would be retirement-account gains. Both would lock the proceeds into education funds. A proposal in the Senate would apply a 7 percent capitalgains tax to 0.1 percent of the state’s residents, or about 7,500 residents. It would only apply to gains over $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for couples. A state House proposal calls for a 5 percent tax that would affect 0.5 percent of residents, or about 32,000 people. It would apply to capital gains above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for couples. Capital-gains revenue would fluctuate with the stock market. The House proposal addresses this by creating a “student investment fund” to fund basic K-12 education and keep higher-education tuition steady. Additional revenue in strong years would be saved, building a reserve to cover costs during down years. Arguments that these are stealth income taxes should be heard in context. The income in question is largely profits generated by very large investment portfolios, above and beyond retirement accounts. Taxpayers at this level have benefited directly or indirectly from public investments in education. They would benefit further by supporting an equitable system that provides equal opportunity for students in every school to learn and help build Washington’s future.

Sports coverage gets a much-needed boost
O
ur readership has surely noticed that local sports coverage hasn’t been the same since Bob Taylor left The Issaquah Press a few years ago. Just like every other business, money dictates how we do things, and we’ve had to cut back on reporting staff and editorial space. It’s unfortunate, because the people and organizations who comprise our communities deserve better. I never knew Taylor, but from what I’ve heard, his work was greatly valued and proved irreplaceable after his retirement. Recently, we made a change that will hopefully turn things around. Last month, I was named the sports editor for our newspaper group, meaning the bulk of the sports coverage you’ll find in The Issaquah Press and Sammamish Review falls under my responsibilities. Consequently, you’ll likely see my name more in our other two publications, SnoValley Star and Newcastle News, although we have dedicated sports people for those papers already. Nothing is changing in Newcastle, where Christina
Corrales-Toy will continue covering Liberty and Hazen high schools, and part-time reporter Sam Kenyon will keep being the point person Neil for Mount Si Pierson High School, Press reporter and anything in and around Snoqualmie and North Bend. There were a few reasons for altering my job description, but to state it simply, we wanted to give recognition to more teams and athletes, and we wanted the quality of our stories to increase. What we were previously doing wasn’t cutting it, since the way our reporting beats were divided meant that Issaquah High School didn’t get much coverage. Bizarre, for sure. That’s been rectified. As sports editor, I’m now in charge of coverage for four local high schools — Issaquah, Skyline, Eastlake and Eastside Catholic. See SPORTS, Page 5

Patriot Players production wins 5th Avenue Theatre Award The Liberty High School drama program has some new hardware to display. The Patriot Players’ production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” earned a 5th Avenue Theatre Award for Outstanding Direction. Danny Kam, a 2006 Liberty graduate, won the award after coming back to his alma mater to direct the Patriots’ spring musical. Liberty was the only local high school to hear its name called at the awards ceremony June 8 at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Issaquah School District programs accounted for nearly 20 award nominations, though. Liberty led the pack with 10, followed by Skyline with five and Issaquah with four. All three schools also received honorable mention in a handful of categories.
Memorable hobbies Rex Smith can tell a lot about people by their face and their handwriting By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com

Corey Hayes springs high into the air in his happiness as students start to toss their caps at the end of the Tiger Mountain Community High School commencement ceremony June 11 for the 29 students of the class of 2015.
Harold Rex Smith can boast quite the résumé from his 90 years. He has served in both the Navy during World War II and the Army afterward. After serving his country, Smith served God, preaching at several churches for the next decade. Then, for the next 20 years, he served young minds as an English teacher. But perhaps the most interesting things he did — handwriting analysis and memory techniques — actually became his enduring hobby. Having lived twice in Exeter, England, and the Northeast of the U.S., Smith now lives in Bellewood Retirement Living, where he followed a grandchild to live nearby. He displayed his amazing memory by promptly memorizing all the resi-
dents and their associated room number within the community. He has even held a class for his fellow residents on memory techniques, which essentially associates a trait to each name. “Your name is Hayes,” he said. “To nail your name in mind, I’d take your beard as a bale of hay. That’s a way to handle names and faces.” He picked up the memory technique from a magazine ad, discovering he had a knack for remembering just about everything. In the past, Smith has memorized whole books, just to prove he could. He offered a memory program at Bellewood shortly after he arrived. “Twenty signed up for the six weeks. I expected a dropout rate,” Smith said. The second week there See MEMORY, Page 10

Liberty High School and the Issaquah School District are grateful for the generosity of the community who contributed in part to more than $2.3 million in scholarships to Liberty’s class of 2015 as reported by students and their parents. Students received scholarships and grants for academic merit, community service, music talent, athletic ability and leadership, and honors scholarships from the schools they will attend and community leaders. Liberty officials would like to thank and recognize the following community leaders for investing in students’ futures: Brock O’Connor Memorial Fund, Cedar Grove Composting, city of Renton Management Association, International Association of Firefighters Local 2878, Issaquah Alps Trail Club, Issaquah Association of Educational office personnel, Issaquah Schools Foundation, Issaquah Women’s Club Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, Liberty Booster Club, Liberty Patriot Football Foundation, Overlake Alumnae Panhellenic, Rotary Club of Issaquah and Soroptimist International of Renton.

Gunners FC 1-0 loss has them still in search of first win By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com With the exception of one lopsided loss, Puget Sound Gunners FC has shown it can compete against every team in the Northwest Division of the Premier Development League. The Gunners’ latest result, a 1-0 loss to the division-leading Kitsap Pumas on June 14 at Issaquah High School, was indicative of that trend. Puget Sound is winless in its first seven matches, but it has managed three ties, and three of its four losses were of the one-goal variety. It’s a frustrating trend for the players, who feel like their efforts deserve higher rewards. “We put together chunks of what’s been showing in other games, sporadically, and put it together against a good side today, and we deserved something out of that game,” Gunners left back Robert Hyams said. Puget Sound is comprised of college players from across the United States and Canada, including some with international experience, like Hyams,
an Englishman. A couple of players are products of area high schools, or came through the youth system with the Issaquah Soccer Club. Puget Sound (0-4-3, 3 points) played tough against first-place Kitsap (6-0-0, 18 points) in two regular-season matches, falling 1-0 both times. Defense has been the Gunners’ strong suit: Outside of a 5-0 shellacking against the Seattle Sounders U23s, they’ve allowed a respectable 10 goals in six matches. But they haven’t clicked offensively, getting shut out three times. That was the case against the Pumas, who got a 12th-minute goal from midfielder Nick Hamer and were content to sit back defensively for the rest of the match. Gunners goalkeeper Cody Jewett, who made two saves, said the goal was the result of a bit of confusion along the back line. Hamer got between two defenders, ran onto a pass, and toepoked the ball past Jewett to the far post. Puget Sound has conceded the first goal in each of its seven games, another
reason for the winless drought. “We try to work together, and maybe we sit too deep in some situations, which then causes us to open up pockets for them to play it in,” Jewett said. “It’s sort of the reason why they keep getting these early goals, so we’re not being more aggressive and pushing higher up than we should.” Hyams, who plays collegiately at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, was responsible for a large part of Puget Sound’s offensive attack. He had several chances in deadball situations — the Pumas committed 21 fouls and conceded four corner kicks — although he said he felt his accuracy wasn’t the best. “I take set pieces in college, and it’s something I pride myself on,” he said. “If you can add that to your game as a fullback, you become a weapon offensively to the team. “Today, probably, my delivery wasn’t what I’d like it to be. You pride yourself on perfection, and you want to hit it perfect every time. Sometimes it doesn’t work.”

Both teams compete for the header on an unsuccessful Puget Sound Gunners corner kick in the Gunners’ 1-0 loss to the Kitsap Pumas on June 14 at Issaquah High School. Jewett said he liked what he saw from a defensive standpoint, but the Gunners seemed to be too impatient to break down a Kitsap side that was very organized and had the advantage after the early goal. “I think we need to just play more simple, play more on the ground, not so much forcing it in the corners,” he said. Puget Sound goes on a two-game road trip to Oregon this weekend in search of its first win.
First up are the Portland Timbers U23s, a 7:30 p.m. start June 19. The Gunners then play Lane United FC in Springfield, Oregon, a noon kickoff June 21. They’ll aim to stay confident because there are good things happening, even though wins have been elusive. “Today, we deserved something out of the game,” Hyams said, “so it’s a stepping stone to go and win games next week, because that’s what we must do next week.”
Prep football kicks into gear at Skyline tournament By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com When high-school spring sports like baseball, soccer and track end, it marks the start of the season for football teams, who began their offseason workouts last week. For 11 teams around the region, the first competitive event of the 2015 season was June 13 at Skyline High School’s eighth annual Skills and Drills on the Hill event, which featured a seven-on-seven passing competition for quarterbacks and receivers. The high-speed format takes place on a 40-yard field, with a center, a quarterback and five receivers taking on seven defensive backs. There are no pads or helmets, one-hand touch tackling rules, and offenses have three downs to make 20 yards for a first down, and then an additional four downs to reach the end zone. The competitive juices tend to get going quickly for players who haven’t gone up against an opposing school in several months. Teams played in
dan Shim to get additional time on the field. Gregory, whose first season as Skyline’s starter ended with a 6-4 record and a heartbreaking home playoff defeat to Skyview, has one more chance to lead his team as a senior and is looking to step up his game. Along with individual workouts where Gregory will look to perfect passing routes, the Spartans’ summer schedule also includes team camps at the University of Washington and the University of Puget Sound. By Greg Farrar Through all of it, Gregory plans to lead by Blake Gregory, Skyline High School fall senior quarterback, throws footballs to receivers during scrimmages and drills June example. “Being the quarterback 13 during the annual Skills and Drills on the Hill event. and the captain of the several 25-minute games.

in dismantling Cascade (Everett) in one of their scrimmages. Senior quarterback Nate Solly, who will be a third-year starter, led the Patriots to five touchdowns in five possessions against Cascade. It helped for Solly to be throwing to some familiar faces — Preston Mitsui, Dulin Hayden, Austin Regis, Sean Bates, Zeke Owens and Gabo McGregor were all catching passes. Solly said the Patriots were planning for a busy summer schedule of running routes, working in the weight room, and improving their speed and agility. And they’ll be heading to the Gridiron of Champions camp at The Evergreen State College, a full-contact event headed by former Skyline coach Steve Gervais. The Patriots haven’t yet set goals for the coming season, Solly said, but figure to be motivated after their season ended with a playoff shutout against Fife. “We’re feeling pretty good about this year, coming off of last year with a loss in the first round of the playoffs,” Solly said.
Skyline grad takes her soccer game to international level
By Neil Pierson npierson@sammamishreview.com
After becoming one of the most accomplished high-school players in the Puget Sound area, Kelli Sullivan is looking to add to her accolades on a bigger stage. Sullivan, who graduated from Skyline High School last week, will play NCAA Division I women’s soccer this fall at Colorado College. She’s also getting a unique opportunity to play internationally through the school, as the program was chosen to represent the United States next month at the World University Games. Typically, the U.S. squad that goes to the biennial games is an all-star roster of collegiate players from across the nation, but not this time. Colorado College coach Geoff Bennett selected the team after tryouts in April, and Sullivan was one of five incoming freshmen to make the 20-player traveling squad. “Obviously, I’m super excited and so grateful to have this opportunity,” said Sullivan, a standout midfielder who helped Skyline win state titles in 2011 and ’12, along with a third-place finish last fall. Team USA heads to Gwangju, South Korea, for the World University Games, commonly referred to as the Universiade because it
serves as the Olympics for college athletes. Similar to the World Cup, soccer teams are placed in groups of four in round-robin pool play. The Americans will match up against South Africa on July 2, France on July 4 and Canada on July 6. The top two teams from each of the four pools advance to the knockout stages, with the championship match July 13. Sullivan isn’t the only Northwest-bred player going to the tournament. Bennett also chose two of his former players, forward Rachel Herron and midfielder Jessie Ayers. Herron graduated from Redmond High School, and Ayers from Roosevelt High in Seattle. Participants in the University Games have to be between 17 and 25 years old. “Selecting the roster was one of the hardest decisions, if not the hardest decision, we’ve had to make during our time here at Colorado College,” Bennett said in a news release. “There were a lot of intangibles that went into the decision making — the system that we are playing, positional needs and experience.” Sullivan said the tryout for Team USA was the first chance she had to practice with and play against her Colorado College teammates, and she tried not to worry about

Skyline grad Kelli Sullivan will next take her soccer skills to Colorado College and the World University Games. the final result. “The worst case was, I didn’t make this team, and it’s a really incredible team,” she said, “so you go in there and do your best, and whatever happens is fine.” Sullivan is used to playing in pressure-packed environments. Along with many state-tournament games at Skyline, she also led her select team, Eastside FC’s ’96 Red, to a pair of league titles. She earned a spot with the state’s Olympic Development Program, and helped that squad reach the regional-tour-
nament semifinals in 2014. Winding up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, wasn’t something she envisioned a few years ago. She’d never heard of Colorado College until Eastside FC coach Chance Fry helped her make a connection, but after visiting, Sullivan quickly realized it was the right place for her. “It’s a smaller school, which makes it a little more comfortable,” Sullivan said. “I just love the atmosphere, and I thought it was somewhere I could flourish and become the person I want to become in a couple years.” She was one of seven players who signed a National Letter of Intent this spring to play for Bennett, and she may be asked to shift away from the attacking midfielder’s role she thrived in at Skyline. “Kelli is our defensive-minded midfielder of this signing class,” Bennett said in a February news release. “She excels at sitting in the hole, breaking up the opposition’s attack and distributing to start our own attack.” With the FIFA Women’s World Cup going on, Sullivan is taking pride seeing her sport receive more attention, and is relishing the chance to play for her country. “It’s so cool that we’re going to represent Team USA,” she said. “It’s something I’m going to remember forever.”

Memory from page 6
were just 11 residents and seven the third week. By the end, he ended up with just two. “I didn’t expect it to be quite that much of a dropout,” he said. But when he has taught to those who actually needed the course, he has had no dropouts. It’s based on imagination, Smith said. Remembering anything takes certain kinds of imagination. Mastering memory techniques took him longer than writing, he said. But he has used them more throughout his career, going through two or three universities, earning his master’s degree in biblical literature, his master’s in education and psychology and his Ph.D. In an offshoot of the memory courses, he has also taught writing memoirs, offering excerpts from his own, “A Brief Nutshelling of My EightTenths (and a bit) of a Century.” To best illustrate his memory technique, at the first Bellewood party he attended, Smith wore an alligator muzzle hat on his head as he entered the center. “I got off of the elevator facing the room, and went around growling at everybody,” he said. Now everyone knows him as T Rex. His other ability, to analyze handwriting, was never a full-time job,
but he was brought in as a sort of freelancer for headhunters to learn more about perspective job applicants. Almost as amazing as being able to tell all about a person by how much swoop is in his or her pen stroke, is how Smith first pursued the profession. “In 1958, I’d been in Pennsylvania as a pastor for 10 years when I was thumbing through a magazine, and in the back was this ad for handwriting analyst,” Smith recalled. He answered the ad, received some correspondence courses and learned all he could. “I’ve been using these techniques since,” he said. “It was never a full-time job. I did more the first four years I was in England.” So, just what can Smith infer from reading reference letters? It would be better to ask what he can’t determine, Smith said. “Willpower, imagination, mental acuity, a whole range of things,” he said. Every part of on the page tells him something — he prefers samples written on 8 1/2-by-11 size, paper — he examines margins, whether writing is consistent or wavy, pressure on the pen is heavy, tension and more. Tons more. In fact, there is so much to the subject, he self-published his own book, “Writing Man: Handwriting and Consciousness.” Smith said he could learn more about a person from one page of handwriting than the headhunters could in 46 hours of questioning.
The Issaquah Press In the past, he has actually been asked to analyze the writings of world leaders for fun. When he lived in Great Britain, Smith gave his impression of Prime Minister Tony Blair from a sample of his writing from 1997. At the time, Smith said he found Blair “was a go-getter, but also had a tendency to play his cards close to his chest and was a control freak.” Smith also displayed his skill for an American leader, President Bill Clinton. “He is friendly and sociable, particularly because he has a need to be perceived by the public as a nice man,” Smith wrote about Clinton. “He has a strong drive for success, which is not strange, and is quite stubborn and shows he is an analytical man. He can be quite aggressive and there are sometimes hints of his being a tyrant.” But his most memorable session? Probably the time he was accused of being a wizard. One time he participated at a school’s job fair, which had several tables set up for different areas of expertise. This woman sits down — he doesn’t recall if he even analyzed hers, but she gave him her husband’s driver’s license. “I said, ‘First of all, there’s only two words and on a tiny piece of paper.’ She said, ‘I know.’ So, anyway, I started talking on that basis on what I could. After a few seconds, there was no expression on her face. I have no idea what she’s thinking.” After a couple minutes, he stopped and she tells Smith, “You must be a

Typically, the larger the sample size, and more current the writing, the better the chance Smith has of relaying what the person is like now. “A resident here gave me a big sheet of cardboard she did years ago,” Smith said. “Privately,
I don’t know what they want to do with it.” He has analyzed about 35-40 residents so far at Bellewood. “I’ve always enjoyed it,” Smith said about his hobby. “A certain part of it, I guess, they’d call it nosiness. In one way, you get to know what someone is like without knowing them. In some ways, it’s better not meeting them. You’re more objective.”
Residents from Washington state have free access to doctors across the country through Miracle Flights for Kids. The nation’s leading nonprofit medical flight organization is dedicated to ensuring children are able to get to the medical care they need, by providing free commercial airline tickets anywhere in the U.S. “Distance should never be a factor when a child’s health is in question,” Ann McGee, founder and national president of Miracle Flights, said in a news release. “One out of every 10 children is born with a rare medical condition. Many others are battling life-threatening cancers. Getting the proper diagnosis and treatment is key to these kids’ futures.” Miracle Flights was recently selected as a finalist in the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation’s Pilots Choice Awards Grant program. In the annual contest, aviation-related charities are chosen to compete in an online poll to receive grants in support of their cause. Miracle Flights is one of the 12 finalists.
