Stories, even positive ones, don’t always make it into the magazine. Back in December, when we were planning the articles to be covered in each issue, it never occurred to us that getting photography in May would be a problem for an article

on outdoor entertaining. But with pouring rain, wind, and gray-to-the-ground weather, it was impossible to get decent photos, let alone any that reflect having fun outdoors in the sun. Instead, the article was modified to become the featured story on salmon barbecuing.

We are often asked if we are interested in ideas for articles. The answer is always a resounding yes. We regularly cover stories on food, home, garden, wellness, kids, pets and

all those other reasons we have decided to move here and then elected to stay. Just as importantly, what you won’t find in this magazine are stories about local crime, traffic and petty politics. So, we could use your assistance. If you have a good positive story idea, one that readers can enjoy and profit from, then please do send it to us.

Each edition is mailed by the postal service to a select list of households. We purchase these lists from brokers who are licensed to provide the names in a way that is approved and controlled by the U.S. Postal Service.

Concerts on the GreenThe 14th season of the highly

attended summer concert series will debut on Tuesday evening, July 6, and continue every Tuesday from 7:00 to 8:30p.m until August 31. Bring your lawn chairs or spread a blanket on the ground for a picnic, and listen to a different band and style of music each week. Smaller children might want to bring cardboard to use in sliding down the hill by Boehm’s Pool. The Issaquah Kiwanis are there to serve up burgers, dogs, and soft drinks. Local businesses can sponsor an evening’s entertainment. The series is presented by the Issaquah Parks Department and professionally presented by local resident David Harris.

The city of Sammamish hosts its own version of this successful concert series on Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Pine Lake Park. Their series runs through August 26.

July 17: Challenge Day Race This high-spirited event, hosted

annually for the past 13 years by the Issaquah Rotary Club, working with LEO (Life Enrichment Options) pairs developmentally challenged individuals with young, able-bodied drivers (usually 12 and younger) for soap box derby races down Second Avenue in Issaquah. The road is blocked off to make a safe race course, and the 7-foot-long cars are started side-by-side for a gravity-driven race down the hill to the checkered flag. Drivers and riders make multiple trips on the course, and the public is invited to come and cheer for each race.

Challenge Day also provides adaptive cycling for those who otherwise might never ride a bike. The success of this special day is measured in both miles and smiles. New drivers are welcome and are trained in safe handling of the cars and riders. For more information,

tThe benefits of physical activity for children are well documented: increased fitness, better stamina, sharper mental health, better sleep, and better team-building skills. However, over the past two decades there has been a significant increase in sports-related injuries, and athletes are burning out at escalating rates. If you think these problems are related, you are correct.

Thomas M. DeBerardino, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, recently moderated an instructional course titled “Athletic Injuries in the Adolescent Athlete.” According to Dr. DeBerardino, adolescent sports-related injuries are

on the rise, to the point of becoming what he calls “a silent epidemic.”

Some attribute the increase to the sheer numbers of children, especially those of grade-school age, who are actively engaged in youth sports. It’s estimated that 30 million to 45 million youths age 18 or younger participate in some form of athletics. On the Eastside, there are more than 8,000 participants in the Eastside Youth Soccer Association alone.

Overuse bears the blameThis epidemic is not simply the

result of accidental trauma in a larger population. A majority of adolescent injuries are of the overuse type.

Overuse injuries are caused by micro-traumatic damage to a bone, muscle, or tendon that has been subjected to repetitive stress without the time to heal or undergo the natural reparative process. This is especially evident in student athletes who play the same sport for much of the year.

Adults are familiar with golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck and low back pain, or plantar fasciitis. These aches start insidiously with a tiny nag and build to the point where they interfere with daily activities.

It’s similar for adolescents, except their musculoskeletal system is not fully developed—some parts don’t reach maturity until the late teens—

Childhood sports: out goes the fun, in come the injuries

health

by Dr. Larry Greenblatt


and it can take less repetition for problems to occur. Athletic trainers frequently see issues associated with too much stress on developing growth plates (e.g., Osgood-Schlatter disease) and tendons stretched beyond their physiological capacity (e.g., pitcher’s elbow).

Pressures to participate, to be the best, to not be weak or timid can all contribute to ignoring an issue. Perhaps the most harmful of all is when the child is ignored by a parent or coach. Being told to get back in the game once a child identifies a problem can jeopardize the physical activity’s positive attributes.

The development of rulesRules are created to keep people

safe and healthy. Pitch counts in baseball and softball were established in response to the increase of upper-extremity injuries. Helmets and protective gear were mandated to prevent facial and body injuries in many other sports.

In 2009, the Washington State Legislature passed the Zackery Lystedt law, which requires school districts to develop policies for the management of concussion and head injury in youth sports.

These examples are the tip of the iceberg for rules and regulations. Yet without them, how can children’s safety be assured, and how do we address the increased cost of medical care attributed to sports injuries? Do we really need all the rules and regulations? The answer is yes. We’ve seen what happens without them.

The competition gameIn years past, it was the rare athlete

who competed in more than one sport or for more than one season at the middle and high school level. Athletes had time to heal, time to relax, and time for diversity between events. With many children now participating in sports year-round, and sometimes on multiple teams,

simultaneously, the potential to overuse their body parts increases geometrically.

Competition to make elite teams, peer pressure to be successful, and the allure of attaining the rarest of economic goals—a scholarship or professional contract—pushes young athletes to levels that are potentially unhealthy and unsafe. Whether the push is from the athlete or from an outside source, too often it can have deleterious consequences, the least of which is burnout.

Sports-related burnout vs. the real world

Burnout is not new to the sports scene. For years, elite athletes have walked away in the prime of their career, frequently after injuries. It’s often expressed as the need to take time away from their game, to spend more time with the family, or to get their head on straight.

Results are no different outside of sports; we’ve all seen cases of job burnout or relationship burnout. In all these situations, people may experience physical breakdowns marked by fatigue, lack of enthusiasm, or pain symptoms.

The new goal in sports, as in business, is to have fun. Why? Because people in all walks of life are realizing that, in the pursuit of excellence, they’ve distanced themselves from fun. When it’s only about the goal, sooner or later the task of attaining the goal can become boring. Look to a first grader for the obvious: Boredom suppresses motivation. Bringing fun into the athletic arena makes sports something desirable to be part of and to repeat.

The goal of youth sports and physical activity

Positive reinforcement for the successful athlete is easy as they reach the pinnacle of their sport. The vast majority of children, however, do not

make it to the top of the athletic pyramid, often defined as success. That’s why redefining success and providing ways to create and reinforce a strong foundation for lifelong physical activity is paramount. It’s up to parents and other advisers to let the youths in our community know it’s not all about winning.

The goal of youth sports, and all extracurricular activities, is to teach kids appropriate life skills and coping mechanisms, help them understand the lifelong benefits of physical fitness and healthy competition, and allow them to have fun in the process. This sets up children for the best chance of success in the adult world and creates healthier human beings along the way.

iIt really is just the blink of an eye, a tiny fraction of a second, during which a life can be lost and a family changed forever. For the Williams family of Sammamish, that moment came on January 21, 2002, when Josh, their athletic and affable 16-year-old son, died in a snowboarding accident.

For parents Phil and Debbie Williams and their daughters Bizzy and Anna, the months following Josh’s death were like living in slow motion. They gathered together in their shared grief and went through the motions of life. School went on for the girls, appointments were kept by the parents, and other mileposts of the passing year were noted.

Eventually the family came to the point in their shared recovery that they could face the “new normal” for them. At the urging of friends,

the Williams embraced the concept behind a short and simple quote they were given: “You don’t heal from the loss of a loved one because time passes. You heal because of what you do with the time.”

At the encouragement of friends, they held a golf tournament at The Plateau Club as a gathering of friends and Josh’s classmates to simply celebrate being together and the sweetness of being alive. As Debbie puts it, “We did not want sadness; we wanted to celebrate life and community.” From this small, personal gathering, the four Williamses began to see the potential to help other people and organizations in the community and to continue their own healing.

In short order, the Joshua P. Williams Foundation was formed as a

501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the goal of supporting kids, families, and the community by providing financial support and scholarships for youths. In July 2003, the first celebrity golf tournament was held at The Plateau Club. As Phil Williams explained, “Even if the tournament only makes one dollar, but everyone has a great time, then our family will consider it a success.” Neighbor and NFL punter Jeff Feagles helped to bring in celebrities so that each group of four players was joined by a celebrity, such as Jay Buhner, Norm Charlton, or Nesby Glasgow. Following the day of golfing came a night of great dining and an auction to help raise funds.

Debbie explains, “As a family we required that 100 percent of the money raised go back into community

organizations that Josh was or would have been involved with, so we selected the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County, Athletes for Kids, Young Life, Friends of Youth, and have since added Camp Sambica.”

Now, seven years later, the golf tournament is a huge success and continues to be, at its heart, a gathering of friends. In 2009, 16 of Josh’s friends played in the tournament for the first time after years of volunteering as helpers. The foundation has raised more than $1.2 million to designated charities in addition to 14 academic scholarships to local high school seniors who are entering college.

Debbie adds, “This event and the money raised was never thought of by us as a sole tribute to our son. So we do not promote Josh’s name where the money is donated. But we do require that each organization provide us with a detailed report of how the money was used, and these reports are given back to all of our supporters each year.”

While the healing process following the death of a loved one is never over, Phil, Debbie, Bizzy, and Anna demonstrate the power and impact of getting up after you have been knocked down and finding a way to give back. Their entire family is whole, healthy, and able to reach out to help others who have lost a child and show that even intensely personal losses are survivable.

The annual tournament will be held on Tuesday, July 13, at The Plateau Club. For information on playing or becoming a corporate sponsor, visit www.jpwfoundation.com.

Salmon are known as the king of fish, and are found in many places around the world. While there may be disagreements over the merits of Atlantic salmon versus Pacific salmon, and farmed versus wild, there is no contention about the flavor of this great fish, which can be prepared with virtually no limits to methods.

by Lynn Rehn

I lightly coat the salmon with olive oil just before Chef Sean cuts it into individual steaks and seasons it simply with salt and pepper. Fingerling potatoes are in a hotel pan on the 6-foot grill, warming nicely in an onion mixture.

I prep black wood mushrooms, portabellas, enoki, and white button mushrooms for the caponata side dish, while Chef Sean assembles a quinoa salad with currents, arugula, poblano chiles, feta, and green onions.

Hosts and guests sip Syrah and Pinot Noir and enjoy the salad while Sean expertly grills the salmon. It glistens as it nestles on a bed of warm fingerling potato salad and then is covered in a fabulous chimichurri rojo sauce. Chimichurri is a Spanish version of pesto, a mixture of fresh chopped herbs and oil.

The salmon is a remarkable success, and we hear exclamations of delight from the diners.

This entire meal, from appetizers to wine pairings to the main course, is something you can try at home; the recipes for the fingerling potato salad and the chimichurri sauce follow. Northwesterners have a special affinity with salmon, as they return every year to our lakes, creeks, and hatcheries. I highly recommend visiting the hatchery in Issaquah, and watching the spectacular fish fight their way up the fish ladder, during the last week of September before the crush of visitors during this year’s Salmon Days Festival, on October 2 and 3.salmonBBQ

iImagine a local fisherman who decided to get off the boat and come to Issaquah to open a fabulous seafood shop on Gilman Boulevard. Meet Jim Oswalt, owner of Gemini Fish Market, tall, charismatic, and energetic, with a huge grin.

Now imagine a young man who blew out his knee, destroying his chances of a professional soccer career, and found a new dream as a chef! Meet quiet Sean Quinn, chef and owner of the Flat Iron Grill, a steak and seafood restaurant in Gilman Village with a bit of Argentinean flair.

Finally, imagine a beautiful house nestled in the woods, with an open covered kitchen and dining area, like the Sammamish home of Ronnie and Patti Simone.

Mix these together and you have all the ingredients for a wonderful salmon dinner and relaxed outdoor entertaining, complete with a lynx walking through the manicured grounds just as the guests arrive.

This wonderful evening starts with a phone call from Jim Oswalt, letting Sean Quinn and me know that he has just filleted a gorgeous troll-caught king salmon out of Sitka that was delivered to his market that morning.

Before Chef Sean and I meet to prepare appetizers and dinner for the Simones and their four guests, I call Tommy Garland, head wine steward of the Klahanie QFC. He’s been in the wine business for 16 years and is a wonderful source for pairing wines with various courses. He selects several excellent wines; see the sidebar for suggested pairings.

As the guests arrive and begin to sample the appetizers, Sean pulls a huge, beautifully filleted king salmon out of his cooler so he can remove pin bones while the Simones and their guests enjoy wine, Seastack Ash cheese, Pleasant Valley Gouda, and figlets – figs filled with goat cheese and wrapped with Nueske’s smoked bacon, then broiled in the oven just before serving.

Wine PairingsAs suggested by Head Wine Steward Tommy Garland, Klahanie QFC

For the appetizer courses:

The CrowA blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Gewürztraminer.

Airfield Estates un-oaked Chardonnay with fruit forward notes and Anjou Pear.

For the salad course:

Amavi 2007 Syrah from Walla Walla. It stands up well to acids, with a smoky note and hints of berries.

For the salmon course:

A 2007 Pinot Noir by Rex Hill from Oregon. This Rex Hill is a classically built beautiful wine.

hHelping children and parents was the dream of pediatric nurse practitioner Karen Ridlon back in 1990, when she observed the desperate needs of mothers with young children as they tried to stabilize their family following some upheaval—perhaps a divorce, the death of the prime breadwinner, or the aftermath of escaping from domestic violence. Whatever the reason, most of these struggling families were at their wit’s end and financially strapped. At first Ridlon began to collect and store clothing, cribs, and other supplies in her dining room. Her intent was to give the things she collected to these needy families so that the little money they had could

be spent for food, rent, or educational training.

As Ridlon says in her very low-key but determined way, “Here, where we are so blessed, there should not be children who are cold or hungry or without a dry diaper. There should not be children, here on the Eastside, who can’t go out for recess because they have no coat or because they are wearing shoes that are several sizes too small for their feet.”

Quickly running out of storage space in her home for the collected items, Ridlon took the bold step of making an appointment with local businessman and property owner Skip Rowley. The aftermath of that meeting is that, for the past 20 years,

Rowley and his daughter Kari have been providing rent-free space for the rapidly growing nonprofit. The Rowley’s have also been instrumental in helping Ridlon and her volunteer staff in developing a strategic growth plan for the organization now known as Eastside Baby Corner (EBC).

During the past 20 years, EBC has become the “largest organization of its kind that you have never heard about,” says Helen Banks Routon, its director of development and community relations. “We specialize in serving the needs of children from birth up to age 12 with clothing, toys, school supplies, diapers, and formula. We collect donations or purchase these items. Over 120 family-assistance partners, such as food banks and social service agencies like Encompass and Hopelink, order what they need for the families they are helping. We serve a large area, from Renton to Bothell and east to the Cascades. Almost all of the clothing and baby furnishing are donated and lovingly used. The rest we go out and purchase. As an example, we buy almost $8,000 in diapers each month.”

It should be no surprise that requests for children’s items went up by 14 percent last year and there is a waiting list of 28 agencies and food banks that want to be partners with EBC but cannot be served until more funds are available.

When asked what they are in special need of, Ridlon is quick to point out that clothes and shoes for school-age kids—especially sizes 4 through 14—are needed throughout the year, and most critical are boys’ pants in size 5 and up. Formula and diapers are especially needed. Because diapers are not covered by food stamps or WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), the cost of diapering a baby stresses a family’s finances. With dental health a pressing need for families, donations

of new toothbrushes, toothpaste, and flossing supplies are also appreciated.

During the week, donations are received from individual families, faith-based communities, and service organizations in the Rowley Center. Volunteers sort the donations and label the clothing. Strollers, cribs, bicycles, and car seats are sent to the repair shop to check for recalls and to make certain they are in working order. Next the items are stored by type. The food banks and social-service partners then are able to send in their wish list of items they hope to receive. Agencies are limited to 20 items a week. Each order is bagged by the volunteers, and a toy is always included as a little surprise gift for a child. The staff really enjoys the special “birthday bag” orders, because they can select a variety of items just for that child, knowing that in most cases these will be the only birthday gifts

that child will receive. On Thursday morning the scene is bedlam as the agencies show up to happily collect their orders. Once the last van or truck departs, the process starts all over again.

EBC also needs financial donations. The cost of providing formula for medically fragile children is surprising: A three-day supply costs $27. Local service clubs, such as the Kiwanis and Rotary, are trying to help address these financial needs. Last year, the Issaquah Kiwanis made EBC a beneficiary of their 2009 auction and provided a $16,000 donation. The Rotary Club of Issaquah just paid to upgrade EBC’s ancient computer and phone systems so staff can communicate with each other throughout the building and have a centralized way to receive calls, all lacking until now.

EBC is an ideal place for volunteering. It is also one of the few

places where an entire family can come and volunteer together. Students who want to perform community service hours are also welcome.

One suggestion for parents with children: Arrange a time to bring them down to EBC to see just how valued their old toys, dolls, bikes, and school supplies will be if they are donated instead of being stored at home. We did this with our daughter Makenna, and she came home to begin cleaning out items she had kept for years, knowing that some child would soon be loving her old doll as much as she once had.

No matter how you choose to become involved with Eastside Baby Corner, you will light up the day for a child.

wWith warmer weather setting in, it’s time to think about how to keep your pet comfortable through summer. Here are five inexpensive things you can provide for your pet in order to beat the summer heat!

Kiddie pool. Most dog daycares have already discovered the genius of those brightly colored, shallow plastic wading pools in a pet play yard. Dogs just love ’em! Playing in a pool is a great way for your pet to get exercise

without overheating. And if you have any kind of retriever, doodle, or water dog, the issue won’t be getting your dog in – it will be getting your dog out. Note: Change the water daily, and allow the pool to dry out every few days, to avoid the growth of algae and unhealthy bacteria.

Misting hose. While many dogs, especially small ones, are intimidated by the droplets of a standard sprinkler, misting hoses have become quite

popular in recent years. Hang one in areas where your dog is sure to pass under the fine spray, such as an entrance to a garage or near a water bowl. Your pet may not even notice the hose, but will wonder why she feels so comfortable in a certain part of the yard.

Cool pad. These quilted canvas pads are filled with small beads that expand when wet. Simply soak the pad in a tub of ice water, wait for it to expand, then give to your pet to lie on during the day. Resoak for the next day’s cooling. Note: Cool pads may actually be too cold for small, short-haired dogs; this problem is easily fixed by placing a towel or blanket over the pad. And they are not ideal for chewers, due to the beaded filling.

Wet coat. Great for short-haired pets. Wet coats are usually made from absorbent terry or chamois fabric; after soaking a wet coat in cool water, put it on your dog, just as you would a warm coat. The wet fabric cools your dog’s underarm and belly area, and protects the back from the sun. They come in all kinds of colors and designs; you can even make one yourself! However, wet coats should not be left on any dog unattended, and are not for chewers.

Summer haircut. You might not realize it, but you don’t need to give your golden retriever or other long-haired dog a full-body crew cut to keep him cool. Preserve the beautiful coat on your pet by trimming only certain areas, such as the underarm area and between the pads.

During a very hot stretch, of course, you always have the option of bringing your pets inside during the hottest parts of the day. Many dogs settle better indoors when it’s hot outside, even if only for a few hours. And, as always, make certain to have lots of water.

EXTENDING YOUR INDOOR LIVING OUTDOORS


s

community

Say you’re from Issaquah and you’ll get a positive reaction from everybody. Not only is Issaquah’s setting beautiful, but the location is a prominent one. Our town has the distinction of being a historic safe haven, the last civilized place before travelers headed east across the wild and dangerous mountains. Coming west, it was the first refuge with a hot meal and a warm bed.

Issaquah’s beginnings date from the mid-1800s, when its economy was based on agriculture, lumber, and coal mining. Eventually the coal was gone, the trees were logged, and agriculture required more acreage, but Issaquah

managed to stay vibrant. How? To answer this question, look back to when our roads were first built.

In 1895 there was no east–west route through Issaquah. The main road came down the east side of Lake Sammamish from Woodinville, Redmond, and Monohon, a long gone lumber town on the lake. It continued south down Front Street, where a few buildings from that era survive: The Odd Fellows Hall, the recently closed Lewis Hardware, and the old Village Theatre still grace Front Street.

The Sunset Highway opened in 1915, coming from Seattle through Renton around Lake Washington.

From agriculture to the suburban community, Issaquah’s roads tell the story of our changing town.

The alignment followed the Renton–Issaquah Road, now SR-900. When it reached Issaquah it took a sharp right around Goode’s Corner and Pickering Hill, and then headed south on Newport Way to our very own Sunset Way. The Masonic Building, the Grand Central Hotel, and the Rolling Log Tavern, all built in the early 1900s, have lasted into the first decade of the 21st century. The last building on Sunset Way, the ‘roadside inn’, is still standing in remodeled condition today. From there the Sunset Highway wound up through the hills toward Preston and continued over the pass.

Life in the slow laneby Jane Garrison


Just think about the circuitous routes and weak connections to other places at this time. The rough, muddy roads snaked up and down through narrow valleys and around hills, each one an adventure and all-day trip to most destinations.

See road culture artifacts at the Hailstone Feed Store Museum

In 1940 Issaquah went into fast forward when the Lacey V. Murrow floating bridge across Lake Washington opened, bringing our town into the metro area. Highway 10 was realigned to come directly from Eastgate. In Issaquah it became what we know today as Gilman Boulevard.

Driving down Gilman you can still see remnants of the old highway culture. Many of the structures survive near the intersection of Gilman and Front Street. The low, gray building with the “ANTIQUES” sign was originally a motel. The restaurant next to it, now Pogacha, was a roadhouse breakfast and dinner place. The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-In is one of only two still in operation in the country. The Grange Supply was built in the 1930s on the outskirts of town to serve the farmers. Boehm’s Candies

was an appealing tourist stop on the highway.

Then came another big change. In 1970, Interstate 90 was completed; the massive, elevated roadway was built alongside but just north of Highway 10 to preserve the businesses.

Issaquah kept changing its economic base as it grew from agriculture, to lumber and coal, to safe haven and tourism, and finally to the suburban community it is today. Many early towns specializing in one commodity have disappeared. Our town’s important position in relation to the mountains and the crossroads ensured its survival.

Those little remnants of history seen today among the parking lots and strip malls are important reminders of the early days and more peaceful times. We are lucky to have them. They are the visible signs of Issaquah’s mystique and part of the reason our town makes people smile.


dDespite the rainy weather of spring, construction of Swedish’s new medical campus in the Issaquah Highlands continued to move at a fast pace. In July, construction crews will be finishing the foundation walls and beginning the steel work.

By the end of the summer, the new hospital and outpatient center will literally take shape as a good portion of the building’s structure is completed. The roof of the new

campus will be in place just in time for winter. At that point, significant interior work will begin.

The medical office building and outpatient services are planned to open in summer 2011. The hospital’s first 80 inpatient beds will open during the first quarter of 2012.

When completed, Swedish/Issaquah will provide a broad range of inpatient and outpatient medical services, including cancer care, cardiac

iI have been going to the same barber in Issaquah for 20 years. His name is Troy Kline. Over time, we began to talk of things we had in common. As he trimmed my hair he would often talk about his love of music and singing. I would politely listen and figured that, as with so many people, he found it much easier and safer to hold on to the dream, to keep talking about it and never risk losing it by actually trying to make it come true. Then, during one of my monthly visits, Troy confided that he finally made the decision to start training his voice, “a little gym work for the vocal chords,” he called it. Months would go by without either of us mentioning his voice or his singing.

During one of our times together, I told Troy about a favorite quote of mine: “The south of Florida is filled with people 68 years old who were going to do something big in their lives but waited till it was safe. Now it’s safe and they are 68 years old.”

Luckily, Troy decided not to wait until it was safe; instead, little by little, he began to convert his long-held dream into reality. Soon he was having arrangements made; then he

began recording a series of classic songs that were included on his first CD, Crooner. Next he began to do live performances and impressed audiences at Vino Bella, Pogacha and numerous parties, weddings and other venues throughout the Northwest.

Now, with his confidence level high, Troy has taken the even more daring step of writing and recording his own songs, and these have just been released on his second CD, Please and Thank You.

During a recent visit to Troy’s Issaquah salon, he told me, in his soft, understated manner, “It has always been a dream of mine to have a song included in a movie soundtrack. Can you imagine a kid from Wenatchee singing in a movie?” In fact, Troy’s talent has been recognized by professionals, and several of his songs are being presented for inclusion in movie soundtracks.

Troy is a living example of how dreams can come true.
