� e King County Prosecutor � led felony criminal charges Dec. 4 against a driver who allegedly killed her husband and son-in-law a� er she crashed through her Lake Sam-mamish home in May.

Carol Sue Fedigan, 68, was charged with two counts of vehicu-lar homicide in the deaths of her husband, David Walker, and son-in-law, Sean Berry, as well as one count of vehicular assault for the injury of daughter Megan Berry. Fedigan was additionally charged with the reckless endangerment of her 2-year-old grandson, who

According to charging docu-ments, on the evening of May 16 Fedigan was having dinner with her family at her home on East Lake Sammamish Shore Lane Southeast when she decided to move her Jeep from a grass strip near her house into the driveway. She took her grandson with her, placing him on her lap in the drivers seat. Fedigan's husband, daughter and son-in-law remained at the dinner table.

Moments later, the Jeep plowed through the front door of the

� e younger of two defendants in Sammamish’s � rst recorded murder case was extradited from British Columbia, Canada, to face arraignment. � e arraignment at the King County Courthouse took place � ursday Dec. 11, a� er the Reporter’s press time.

� e King County Prosecut-ing Attorney’s O� ce reported Tuesday that Christopher Shade, 18, had been returned to King County the prior week.

Co-defendant Kevin David Patterson, a 21-year-old dual Canadian-American citizen, re-mains in custody in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

The two men face charges of first-degree murder, first-degree theft and theft of a motor vehicle.

� ey are accused of bludgeon-ing 57-year-old Sammamish resi-dent Richard Bergesen to death in mid-September, before stealing his credit cards and vehicle to � ee

to Canada.Patterson and Shade were

taken into Canadian custody for charges of possessing stolen property.

Patterson had been living in Bergesen’s home under an Over-lake Christian Church outreach program to help the homeless. Shade was not living with Berge-sen, but was an acquaintance of Patterson’s.

Patterson told investigators Bergesen had made unwanted sexual advances, according to charging documents.

Text messages between Berge-sen and Patterson’s sister showed Bergesen was concerned about Patterson’s enrollment in col-lege and whether he was making restitution payments for a prior criminal incident in which he had broken into a King County Library branch in Redmond.

� e murder case was the � rst for Sammamish since the city in-corporated 15 years ago, in 1999.

The anti I-594 backers reload

There’s something good to be said for making billions of dollars in the technology industry, especially when people such as Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the

co-founders of Microso� , pledge to donate the bulk of their wealth.

Gates’ e� orts are perhaps the most well-known, but Allen increasingly has been stepping up to fund scienti� c e� orts.

� e latest is his $100 million � ve-year grant to establish the Allen Institute for Cell Science.

� e endowment follows Allen’s $100 million to � ght Ebola in West Africa and a $100 million grant in 2003 to establish the Allen Institute for Brain Science.

Studying the brain and cells is extraordinarily complex. Little is understood of what goes on within cells, how nor-mal cells work and what goes wrong that causes mutations that can lead to cancer.

Allen’s money has helped and will help bring scientists and researchers to Seattle to, we hope, unravel the myster-ies of who we are and how we function.

A new dynasty in the makingThere are few things more satisfying that � nally achiev-

ing a long-sought goal.For Eastside Catholic, it was winning the 3A football

championship.� e Crusaders did that on Dec. 5 with a 35-13 victory

over Bellevue.Being good, or even great, doesn’t always get you to the

top. � ere could be another in your way that’s better or greater — at least for one night. For the past two years, that had been Bellevue, the winner of 67 consecutive games.

Not now.� at time, Eastside Catholic was victorious. Here’s to the

start of the Crusaders own dynasty.

– Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Chris Erickson describes himself as “your typical gun owner who wants to be le� alone.”

But state Initiative 594 “woke me up to the fact that we can’t be le� alone any more.”

Saturday, the Camano Island carpenter plans to be at the state Capitol Campus alongside other gun owners angered by passage of the universal background check measure they view as an unlawful encroachment on their

Second Amendment rights.He’s coming to add his voice to the

chorus of demonstrators at the 11 a.m. rally in Olympia and help ignite a con-versation about keeping I-594 back-ers from advancing their gun control agenda any farther.

Yet what could be a galvanizing event for the state’s gun rights move-ment is getting shunned by some of its better known leaders. � ey’re worried what might occur there could under-

mine e� orts to fend o� additional restrictions on gun owners.

� e rally is dubbed “We Will Not Comply,” and civil disobedience is anticipated. People are bringing weapons to not only wave in the air but, in open de� ance of the law, to sell or trade to others without � rst conducting a background check on the recipient.

“To be honest, I don’t think this rally will really ac-complish anything,” said Adina Hicks, executive director of Bellevue-based Protect Our Gun Rights, the group formed to oppose I-594 and push a countermeasure,

Initiative 591, which failed to pass.“� ey don’t have a further goal. � ey want to break the

law. � at frankly is not what we need right now. What we need is action,” she said. “What we need is people contacting their legislators and getting the Legislature involved to � x the nightmare that is 594.”

“Standing out there on Dec. 13 will show there are a lot of people upset. I want to do more than make noise. I want to make change,” said Rick Halle, na-tional coordinator of the Gun Rights Coalition.

Kit Lange of Lake Stevens is one of those coming to Olympia who is certain to make the likes of Hicks and Halle nervous.

“We are going to buy guns and sell guns,” she said. “I will be trading a gun to someone else, and they will be trading one to me. We are going to nullify the law by our actions.”

Lange, a scheduled speaker, said she will talk about how the � ght is now about more than an initiative and more than the right to keep and bear arms — it is about protecting the freedom and liberty of every citizen.

She’s not looking to get arrested but said, “If that’s what it takes we will. It is OK to stand up to tyrannical laws.

“We are not anti-government. If you are going to defend liberty, you have to be willing to defend it all the way.”

Lake Washington School District’s new Long-Term Facilities Planning Task Force has its work cut out for them. � e task force — comprised of 63 representatives from businesses, senior citizen populations, district sta� and students — needs to study, analyze and make recommendations on when and where to build class-rooms and other properties for the fast-growing school district.

� e task force met for the � rst time Dec. 3.

Current enrollment stands at

26,615. � at number is projected to grow to close to 30,000 by 2021-22. Classroom space in the district will not accommodate these growing numbers, school o� cials said. In addition, the district must address its aging facilities. Complicating the task, the district’s last three bond measures did not garner the 60 percent voter approval needed to pass.

� e task force's � rst step was to dra� a work plan that includes activi-ties to engage the broader community throughout the process. � e � rst such

activity will be an online open house in January. � at process will seek input on facilities planning needs as well as task force and sub-committee process and scope.

� e materials presented at the meeting will be posted on a dedicated webpage on the school district’s web site at www.lwsd.org/News/Long-term-facilities/Pages. � ose who are interested in following the task force’s work can sign up to receive email updates when additional information or reports are added to the page.

Robert Ittes has joined the board of Life Enrichment Op-tions (LEO), an Issaquah-based nonpro� t that advocates for those with developmental disabilities.

Ittes currently serves as the senior vice president and commercial team leader for Heritage Bank’s East King

County region. Ittes is a veteran of more than 37 years in the Paci� c Northwest banking community having served in many senior management capacities, which included the founding president of Issaquah Bank and Issaquah Commu-nity Bank.

Ittes holds a bachelor’s degree from La-verne College and an MBA from Seattle University. His local civic a� liations have included the Issaquah Historical Society, Issaquah Schools Foundation, Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and the Issaquah and Sammamish Rotary Clubs.

“I am very excited to contribute to the good works of LEO in the greater Issaquah community,” Ittes said. “LEO has constructed three adult family homes in Issaquah and provides safe, comfortable and long-term living choices for 15 individuals. I look forward to continuing to work with LEO and the local Rotary Clubs to host the Challenge Series Races in Issaquah, Sammamish and Snoqualmie.”

Holiday celebrations are a time for family, food, and fun. Part of what makes each holiday a special occasion are the family traditions that are celebrated and passed down each year.

Research shows traditions are important to families because they build strong relationships between generations. Because these customs are so cherished, children often remember these special experiences from the holiday season more than the toys

or gifts they receive. Additionally, traditions can teach children about important values like family and community.

Here are a few reasons why traditions mat-ter and how they create lasting memories:

• Traditions bring people together - There’s nothing like preparing a holiday recipe that’s been handed down from one generation to the next. It’s a wonderful time to reminisce about how the recipe brings back fond memories of holidays past while at the same time creating new

memories as you prepare and enjoy the dish with the help of family and friends.

“Traditions are an important part of celebrating the holidays,” says Marnely Rodriguez-Murray, of the food blog Cooking with Books. “Many of them revolve around special-occasion food - and those familiar tastes and smells have the ability to bring families of all shapes and sizes together.”

• Traditions can evolve over time - As families change, so do traditions.

Embrace these changes by creating new traditions or re� ning old ones. You can help make the holidays more special and memorable by giving others a chance to make suggestions for starting new and improving existing traditions.

• Traditions are just plain fun - Traditions produce long-lasting memories for every-one, like everyone opening their match-ing pajamas on Christmas Eve, because they have the ability to make people laugh and smile. What’s more, these joyful

traditions give family members something additional to look forward to each and every year. The repetition of these mo-ments over time builds anticipation as each holiday season returns, enhancing the excitement, joy and fun for all.

Make this holiday season special by creating and preserving family traditions that will last a lifetime.- (BPT)

“It’s better than the movie.”You’ve heard the refrain before, usually

as a term of lament for a much beloved book subjected to a less than loving � lm adaptation.

But in this case — the intermission-time chatter between acts of “A Christmas Story, � e Musical” — the state-ment was countlessly repeated as high praise for the stage adaptation of a holiday � lm classic.

Director Brandon Ivie, an Eastside native who worked on the musical’s development at 5th Av-enue in 2010 and its suc-

cessful run on Broadway, has returned to the Paci� c Northwest for the o� cial stage revival of a � awless spectacle of comedic brilliance and Christmas cheer.

While the show focuses mostly on Ralphie Parker (Mark Je� rey James Weber) and his mission to convince his parents, � e Old Man (Dane Stokinger) and Mother (Jessica Skerritt) by any means necessary that "a Red Ryder carbine action BB gun

with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time," really is the best Christ-mas present of all, the show is so much more.

Based loosely on the life of radio legend Jean Shepard, his book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" and the iconic 1983 holiday movie of the same name, the show is a time capsule of what life was like in the 1940s, when children lived simpler lives and every American strived for the "nuclear family."

Narrated by Jean Shepard (Kurt Beat-tie), each moment of the show draws the audi-ence in further.

Using many of the same stage directions and the majority of the same set pieces as the Broadway production, you feel whisked away to each location including Santa's haunt at Higbee's, Ralphie's school and the playground where they discover if a tongue truly will stick to the � agpole or Ralphie's house and its faulty furnace.

When the Parker's drive to pick out their tree and get a � at tire, the usage of half a car is cinematic and provides the perfect ve-hicle for one of the show's pivotal moments.

Ivie's vision plays big on the stage, yet invites the audience into each scene, espe-cially the Parker home on Cleveland Street, with grandiose intimacy.

Even the smallest moments and exchang-es on stage feel as if you're living them.

Stokinger and Skerritt, a real-life married couple, play o� one another as the parents with impeccable comedic timing. � rough-out the show Skerritt gets to show o� her vocal range, which seems to stretch the musical alphabet, and Stokinger's footwork

displaying his love of his "major award" is bigger than life.

� e entire cast, children and adults, de-livers each joke, whether verbal or physical, with perfect timing and execution.

Weber is prodigiously cast as Ralphie with his sense of ease on stage and transformative wonder. He per-soni� es childhood in a way everyone should be able to relate to. But it’s of-ten Ralphie’s younger brother Randy (Brandon Oke) who steals the scene. Whether it’s his entrapment inside a cautious mother’s idea of what keeps him warm, his little piggie impres-sion, or his innocence when he thinks

his older brother is about to be killed a� er saying the worst of all curse words, “the big F - - -,” Oke is a star in the making, while Weber and the rest of the cast clearly already are.

During intermission, I couldn’t count how many times I heard other audience members say, “It’s better than the movie.”

The ups and downs of the real estate market over the last half dozen years

have led to some game-changing in-novations in that sector. Most especially, Realtors have seen a rise in the marketing of properties online and a decline in con-ventional sales strategies, such as weekend open house events. � at trend might re� ect the needs of sellers, but many prospective buyers feel that there is still a place for the Saturday/Sunday open house in the house-hunting game.

Although the National Association of Realtors reports that fewer sellers are bothering with the open house concept, many buyers still rely on open house visits to get a feel for the market in a given area

A visit is worth a thousand words

and to be able to compare prices versus value. NAR statistics a� rm that 45 percent of buyers use open house visits as a means to � nd a new home. � ose most likely to attend an open house are married couples, people aged 45-64, and buyers who do not use English as their � rst language at home.

It is certainly practical to be able to peruse online a room-by-room photo album of a property, but it is a precious opportunity to be able to walk through a house without an appointment or without any pressure to make an o� er. And if buy-ers notice that the same home has opened its doors over several weekends in a row, it might mean it is a slow-to-move property. While such a possibility deserves a bit of investigation, it could also indicate that the seller is in a position to make signi� cant concessions in their asking price.

BY DANIEL BASSETTSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Holiday cheer is � ying high over Issaquah this year, but it’s not due to Santa’s sleigh — at least not yet.

During the day it’s easy to notice the 162-foot tower crane high above the site of the future Homewood Suites by Hilton. However, at night it’s near impossible to miss the giant metal structure that’s been decorated in brightly colored Christmas lights.

� e crane, owned by Marrow Crane and operated by GLY Construction, is part of a tradition of decorating tower cranes during the holidays and other special events.

Last year, many cranes were decked out in blue and green to support the Seattle Seahawks during their Super Bowl run and crowning championship.

Designed by employees of GLY Construction, the Is-saquah crane’s decorations consist of 2,600 C9 incandes-cent lights along its tower and 200-foot long boom.

“LED lights are just not bright enough,” site superinten-dent Jon Eaton said. “� ey lack the ‘wow’ factor.”

Each of the lights were placed by workers secured to the structure’s rigging, assisted by use of a service basket, Eaton said.

GLY Construction, which has ongoing projects throughout the Puget Sound, has many of its cranes festooned with decorations, including most of those dominating the skyline of the South Lake Union neigh-borhood in Seattle.

Bill DeJarlais, a principal with GLY Construction, said they’ve gotten nothing but positive comments about the decorations, which makes the e� ort all worth it.

With everything on the line, Eastside Catholic Crusaders head coach Jeremy � ielbahr and his coaching

sta� decided to throw caution to the wind. � e Eastside Catholic Crusaders weren’t

intimidated by the Bellevue Wolverines in the Class 3A championship game and they proved it with their aggressive play calling.

� e Crusaders converted 4-of-6 of their fourth down attempts, which played a pivotal factor in the Cru-saders 35-13 victory in the Class 3A state champion-ship game on Dec. 5 at the Tacoma Dome. � e river-boat gambling style exuded by the Crusaders was a testament to the con� dence the coaching sta� has in

signal caller Harley Kirsch.Kirsch delivered with one of the most com-

plete performances of his high school career against Bellevue. � e junior le� -hander went 20-for-22 for 188 yards and had two passing touchdowns. He also rumbled for 94 yards on the ground. Kirsch’s 28-yard touchdown pass on a fourth down play to Devon Arbis-Jackson, which gave the Crusaders a 21-13 lead in the third quarter, was the straw that broke Bellevue’s back. � e Wolverines never responded and the Crusaders cruised to their � rst state championship on the gridiron.

“Harley was amazing tonight and did a phenomenal job. He put in a state champion-ship performance and it was exactly what we needed,” � ielbahr said.

Kirsch isn’t the kind of person who likes to pat himself on the back. He’s a sel� ess leader who always gives credit to his teammates around him.

“Obviously when you get fourth down conversions it’s huge. Our o� ensive line did amazing. My teammates make my job really easy. I know every guy on this team will dig down deep and get it done. It was an amaz-ing team e� ort today,” Kirsch said.

Arbis-Jackson is undoubtedly a huge Har-ley Kirsch fan.

“He’s a great player. He’s made this team what it is,” Arbis-Jackson said.

� is past summer one of the � rst places I visited during my � rst week on the job was an Eastside Catholic football practice ses-sion. During my interview with � ielbahr, he raved about Kirsch’s wide array of skills and said he trusted his decision making 100 percent.

“Frankly, he has got the keys to the car,” � ielbahr said in late August.

A mere 14 weeks later, Kirsch led his team to the Class 3A state championship.

In 2015, Kirsch will hand the keys to the Eastside Catholic o� ense yet again as the Crusaders will strive to win back-to-back state titles.

Gutsy play calls make difference in Crusaders’ win

� e streak is over. � e Eastside Catholic Crusaders

snapped the Bellevue Wolverines 67-game winning streak, earning a 35-13 victory against the Wolverines in the Class 3A state championship game on Dec. 5 at the Tacoma Dome. Bellevue (13-1) had an early 13-7 lead, but the Crusaders (13-1) outscored the Wol-verines 28-0 in the � nal 24 minutes, 30 seconds of the game to seal the victory. Crusaders fourth-year head coach Jeremy � ielbahr said the entire o� season was dedicated to doing whatever it took to defeat Bellevue. � e preparation paid dividends.

"You got to prepare for Bellevue so much harder than you prepare for anyone else. We have been practicing for Bellevue for a long time. We do all of our stu� based on Bellevue. We knocked o� the Goliath," � ielbahr said. "We're going to relish the moment and enjoy it. � is is a special feeling."

Crusaders linebacker Tony Masaniai said it felt good to knock o� a team that had ended their season the past three years in a row.

"� ey have been running things for three years. It was time for a change and time for a new dynasty in Washington,"

Masaniai said. "We did it as a team. � e senior class ended our careers with a bang. It was the best year ever for us."

� e Crusaders held the Wolverines to just 158 total yards. Bellevue didn't record any yards through the air against a hard-nosed Crusader defense. Eastside Catholic quarterback Harley Kirsch, who went 20-for-22 for 188 yards passing and

two touchdowns, rushed for 94 yards on the ground as well. Kirsch connected with receiver Devon Arbis-Jackson on a 28-yard touchdown catch on a fourth-down play with 6:54 remaining in the third quarter, extending the Crusaders' lead to 21-13. Arbis-Jackson hauled in

WRESTLINGEagles soarover Falcons

� e Issaquah Eagles wrestling squad regis-tered a 51-25 victory against the Woodinville Falcons on Dec. 4 at Issaquah High School. Eagles grapplers Da-kota Kutz (120), Nyan Hartman (138), Hunter Hurley (152), Brandon Vrinceanu (160) and Terry Zaragoza (220) earned victories. Wil-liam Tickman (106),

Stephen Solusod (113), Chance Gunter (182) and David Corbitt (195) all won via forfeit.

� e Eastlake Wolves rebounded from a loss to Lake Washington in the season opener with a 47-43 victory against the Mount Si Wildcats on Dec. 5. � e Wolves (1-1) will face the Is-

saquah Eagles at 8 p.m. on Dec. 12 in Issaquah.

GIRLS BASKETBALLEastlake improves to 2-0

� e Eastlake Wolves recorded their second victory to start the 2014-15 season with a 49-43 win against the Mount Si Wildcats on Dec. 5. � e Wolves (2-0) will face the Issaquah Eagles at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 in Issaquah.

the slant route at the 20-yard line before breaking a bevy of tackles on his way to the end-zone. Bellevue never got on track following Arbis-Jackson's touchdown.

"� at is Devon in a nutshell," Kirsch said. "He � nds a way to make plays in the biggest games. I'm so lucky to have him as one of my receivers. He makes my life so much easier. He can take a catch at zero yards and then take it all the way."

Arbis-Jackson � nished with nine catches for 78 yards and one touchdown.

"It's an honor to do it," Arbis-Jackson said of breaking Bellevue's 67-game winning streak. "We worked so hard for this. We deserved it."

Crusaders running back/UW commit Brandon Wel-lington had 33 carries for 110 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Wellington had two 1-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Crusaders receiver Hunter Bryant hauled in a 6-yard touchdown pass from Kirsch in the second quarter as well. Kirsch was thrilled his team was able to defeat one of the best high school football programs in the United States. � e Crusaders avenged a 52-20 defeat they su� ered in the 2013 Class 3A state title game.

"If you lose to the same team year a� er year it obviously can get frustrating and get in your head. To � nally win a state championship is absolutely amazing and to beat Bellevue, which is a school with such a great legacy, it's a great honor," Kirsch said.

� ielbahr was happy to see the Crusaders 24 seniors con-clude their high school careers in the best way possible.

"� ey've turned this whole program around. It's just an amazing group of seniors. Hats o� to those guys," he said.

� e Crusaders toughness was on display against the Wolver-ines. � ielbahr will be telling stories about Brody McKnight's

heroic performance against Bel-levue to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

"Our guys just gritted it out across the board. Brody McKnight played the whole game against one of the best defensive lines in the country with a torn labrum (shoulder injury). He couldn't even get in a three-point stance. � at is the sort of e� ort and determi-nation you saw from our kids. � at is awesome and that is what our program is about. It's about continuing the love for the game and the love of fam-ily." � ielbahr said.

BY REPORTER STAFF

Check out old photos of fly fishing and you'll see it: a couple of guys by the water casting their lines. After all, it was a man's sport. Forty years ago a group of Eastsiders changed all that.

� e Overlake Fly Fishing Club (OFFC) was formed in 1974 with two objec-tives: create a � y � shing club to serve the Eastside area and to accept women as members.

At that time, and for decades later, a few local clubs would not allow women as members. But, with its open door policy, Overlake quickly grew in mem-bership and popularity. Today, the geographical area the club serves has expanded to include members from Bremerton to Snoqualmie and Lakewood to Lynnwood with the ºmajority of mem-bers coming from the Eastside. And, as the name would suggest, the organiza-tion puts together fly fishing outings from Alaska to Mexico and Montana, and to the lakes and rivers of the Olym-pic Peninsula.

"Our club is energetic and benefits every level of fly fisherman," said club President Bruce Farr. "Whether you are a beginner who wants to learn fly fishing, an advanced fly fisherman that wants to enhance skills or expert who can share skills and techniques with others, you will find being an OFFC member an awesome experience."

Farr says the club still maintains the

same open door policy and it attracts both local and national � y � shing legends who frequent the club's monthly meetings, o� ering presentations. In addition, the monthly dinner meetings feature a ra� e

that always includes a � y rod and noted guest speakers and guides are on hand with presentations ranging from special-ized techniques to � y � shing locations.

� e club meets the fourth Tuesday of

the month at the Redmond VFW Lodge, 4330 148th Ave. N.E. Annual member-ship dues are $55 single, $65 family. More information is available at www.o� c.org for details and membership forms.

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
