<strong>August</strong> <strong>11</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>Locally ownedFounded 199250 centsFalsealarmMichelleMoultonalmost got anew liverBy Ari CetronIn the end, it was for nothing.Michelle Moulton spent 12 hoursand thousands of dollars andwent through an emotionalwringer Aug. 4, when she got thecall that she could get a livertransplant. But after a day ofbeing poked, prodded and X-rayed, Moulton was told to goback home.“I never thought the doctorwould come in and stand overme and say, ‘It’s not goodenough,’” Moulton said. “I justcan’t even express what it feltlike.”A botched medical diagnosisin 2003 led Moulton, now 48, totake a series of medications thatruined her liver. Her conditionhas been deteriorating sincethen, and a few weeks ago, shewas moved to No. 1 on the list fora liver transplant.A warm-up for a nightPhoto by Caleb HeeringaMadisyn Baurle, 7, sits in the driver’s seat of an EastsideFire & Rescue rig at <strong>Sammamish</strong>’s National Night Out kickoffevent Aug. 3 at the <strong>Sammamish</strong> Commons.

When theywent to begin development in2008, they were surprised to findthat the city considered a small,soggy depression in the middle oftheir property to be a wetlandcovered by the city’s CriticalAreas Ordinance. When the necessary50-foot buffers are addedto the required setbacks fromBeaver Lake, the Gees estimatemore than 75 percent of theirland is unbuildable.Standing in his wetland –mostly mud and deer tracks –and looking across a woodenfence to his neighbor’s landscapedlawn less than 20 feetaway, David Gee can’t help butwish he’d started developmentbefore the city passed their ordinancein 2005.“The only difference betweenthat person and me is that I didn’tdevelop before ’05,” Gee said.Gee, his wife Megan and thearchitect and ground water specialistthe couple hired to studytheir property all spoke at a July27 <strong>Sammamish</strong> City Councilmeeting, encouraging the councilto keep aggrieved property ownersin mind as they review thecity’s Critical Areas Ordinance.The city is beginning the processof reviewing the ordinance,parts of which are set to expire in2012. Whether that review is asurgical rewrite of those portionsor a wholesale review of theentire ordinance and the sciencethat underpins it remains to beseen.Community DevelopmentDirector Kamuron Gurol outlinedthe options the council has as itnavigates the overlappingbureaucratic deadlines the cityfaces in coming years.In addition to the sunsetclause, the state’s GrowthManagement Act requires a regu-See CRITICAL, Page 3There’s a liverShe was having a normal day.She had just gotten back fromgrocery shopping and snacked onsome butterscotch pudding.

Driversmust blow into the devicebefore the vehicle starts. If theyhave alcohol on their breaththe vehicle will not start andpolice will be notified.“We had an epidemic of peopledriving without theirlicense, totally unaccountable,”Goodman said. “Now we knowwhat’s happening with the carand (the interlock period) canbe extended if they’re notbehaving.”He also introduced a broaddomestic violence bill thattoughened prison sentences forrepeat offenders and eliminateda bizarre legal loophole thatleft an abusive partner whomurdered their husband orwife in custody of theirspouse’s remains.Goodman calls early educationhis “sacred cow” that herefuses to consider cutting.Legislation he proposed in 2008helped ensure state funding forpre-school for low-income childrenwould not be cut duringSee GOODMAN, Page 8Photo by Greg FarrarRedmond, where tournament watchers boarded these shuttle buses, saw an uptick in business.BoostContinued from Page 1Redmond, which by all accountsexperienced both the pros andcons that come with invitingmore than 100,000 people to yourcity in a week.“On the negative side, trafficwas hellacious,” RedmondChamber of Commerce PresidentChris Hoffman said. “But that is agood thing because that meanspeople were coming intoRedmond and shopping here andstaying here.”Christina Henning, marketingmanager at Redmond TownCenter, said exact estimates ofhow much the event increasedsales were hard to come by, butsaid both restaurants and retailerssaw more business thanusual.The city of <strong>Sammamish</strong> governmentmay reap more benefitsthan its businesses. The citylevies a .85 percent tax on salesin city limits. Billy Rodgers, thetournament’s marketing director,estimated that between ticketsales, concessions and merchandise,the event grossed between$5 and $6 million. That wouldtranslate to $42,500 and $51,000for the city.Councilman Tom Odell, whohad been pushing for a localshuttle service, said he was disappointedthat the traffic concernstrumped the impacts on localbusinesses and the accessibilityfor <strong>Sammamish</strong> residents. Hesaid he hoped the city would startplanning earlier the next time agolf tournament comes to town.“I think we need to have somesort of post-op discussion andrevisit this thing as a council,”Odell said. “Yes, it worked realwell in that there were no big disruptions,but a component of thepopulation – both business andresidential – were left out.”Scott Moore, co-owner ofMoore Brothers Music, said hefelt like the city was set on keepingtraffic off the <strong>Sammamish</strong>Plateau from the beginning anddidn’t do enough to examineother parking options. Moore hadhoped to host some sort of concertor sidewalk sale to attractattention to his business theweekend of the event.“You’ve got three high schoolsup here that are empty,” Mooresaid. “You’re not going to get anymore traffic from that than youwould during 180 days of theschool year.”Moore, who reported noincrease in business during thetournament, said he was unimpressedby the city’s attempts tohighlight local businesses duringthe event.“All we got was a tiny littlesign – two feet by two feet – atthe bottom of Inglewood HillRoad that said ‘<strong>Sammamish</strong> businessesthis way’,” he said.Not all business owners weretotally unhappy with their salesthe week of the tournament.Dennis Gattke, co-owner of thePine Lake Ale House, estimatedthe restaurant was 10 percentover normal for the week andsaid the Sunday of the tournamentfinale was their bestSunday on record – beating outthe best Mother’s Days. Gattkesaid the restaurant saw a lot ofsupport staff from the televisionstations covering the event.“If they would have had peopleparked here we probablywould have been buried,” Gattkesaid. “My son [a restaurantemployee] said it was just aboutright – I would have preferredjust a little bit more business.”Reporter Caleb Heeringa can bereached at 392-6434. ext. 247, orcheeringa@isspress.com.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW <strong>August</strong> <strong>11</strong>, <strong>2010</strong> • 3CriticalContinued from Page 1lar review of the city’s law every7 years – by 2014 for<strong>Sammamish</strong>. Gurol and severalcouncil members said they didn’tsee the point of delving into controversialportions of the law –wetland buffers or landslide setbacks,for example – if they’d endup having to come back to itagain in 2012 or 2013.“I want to do this once, nottwice,” Councilman Tom Odellsaid.But the council and PlanningCommission might not be able tojump right into the process, sincethe large-scale review requiresseveral other documents be finalizedfirst. Gurol said the city’sstormwater manual is on thecommission’s agenda and mightbe before the council in six tonine months with updates of thebasin plans due a little sooner.The council is also waiting tohear back about whether itsShoreline Master Program passesmuster with the state’sDepartment of Ecology. That programcontains a separate set ofCritical Areas Ordinance regulationsthat apply to wetlands andenvironmentally sensitive areasaround Lake <strong>Sammamish</strong> andPine and Beaver lakes.“What I don’t want is to havetwo (Critical Areas Ordinances)in <strong>Sammamish</strong> – one that appliesto the (shoreline) area and onethat applies for everywhere else,”Gurol said.CorrectionCongressional candidateTim Dillon, a Republicanand Yarrow Point councilman,was misidentified inthe Aug. 4 issue.Councilman Mark Crossencouraged long-term planningon these issues and cautioned thecouncil from assuming that allthese pieces would fall into placewithout a hitch or a price tag. Hesaid the storm water regulationsand basin plans may require bigcapital investments that the cityisn’t planning for. The city alsoshouldn’t assume that the statewill accept its shoreline regulations,he said.“We may have to back up, notmove forward,” Cross said. “Thatneeds to have a role in the budgetdiscussions.”Councilman John Curley saidhe understood the value of thecity coordinating its efforts onthese overlapping issues, butwondered whether affected propertyowners should have to waitin limbo for the estimated twoyears it would take to completethe review.“What do we do for those individualswho find themselves inbetween a rock and a hardplace?” Curley asked. “Are theytold to just wait 24 months for thewhole thing to be cleared up?”City Manager Ben Yaziciassured the council that he andGurol were doing what theycould to address citizens’ concernson a case-by-case basis.The council is expected tofinalize the scope of the CriticalAreas Ordinance review inSeptember.When questioned by councilmembers on the Gees’ issue,Gurol was quick to defend hisstaff. He said a vast majority ofdisputes with owners areresolved administratively or occasionallythrough the hearingexaminer.The Gees claim that any wateron their property leaks from anuphill city detention pond, meaningthat any wetland wouldn’t benaturally occurring. When theGees protested the city’s wetlandPhoto by Caleb HeeringaDavid and Megan Gee stand in front of a part of their property the city of <strong>Sammamish</strong> classified asa wetland. The Gees complain the city’s environmental regulations are restrictive and preventthem from selling or developing their land.finding, city staff suggested theyfund their own study of the area.The Gees then hired a hydrogeologistthat the city claims isn’tqualified to make a wetlanddetermination.“It was one of the most frustratingcases I’ve worked on,”Gurol said. “We’ve obviously got astrong difference of opinion ofwhat qualified consultant workreally looks like in that case.”Gurol said staff went out twoor three times and could find noevidence of any leakage from thedetention pond going toward theproperty and that wetlandsrequire more than just errantwater to form.“Even if it were leaking water,that’s not going to create a wetlandin a few years’ time,” Gurolsaid. “That site has had wetlandsoils … It’s likely had them fortens if not hundreds of years.”The Gees, who have spentyears studying the drainage patternsin their area, say theydoubt that. A ditch on the eastside of West Beaver Lake Drivehas no clear drainage outlet andpoints downhill in the directionof their property. They say thecity’s ordinance unfairlyinfringes on their private propertyrights and is so vague it allowsindividual staff members to makedeterminations that can costlandowners hundreds of thousandsof dollars.The family, who bought theland for $895,000 in 2003, nowplans to sell the property at a lossbecause they cannot afford to paythe property taxes on it – almost$15,000 in <strong>2010</strong>. They said one ofthe parcels can still be developed,but they can’t afford to unlessthey sell the parcel containingthe wetland. The Gees said thecity told them that parcel couldstill fit a small home at the end ofthe property furthest from thelake, but few people have beenwilling to pay for waterfront landthat can’t fit a home near the lake.“Given the hundreds of thousandsof dollars of life savingsand pensions at stake; if we hadbeen clairvoyant, (we) wouldhave chosen not to buy propertyin <strong>Sammamish</strong>,” David Gee toldthe council.Reporter Caleb Heeringa can bereached at 392-6434. ext. 247, orcheeringa@isspress.com.

OPINION4 • <strong>August</strong> <strong>11</strong>, <strong>2010</strong> SAMMAMISH REVIEW<strong>Review</strong> editorialSchool supplies neededfor district’s studentsThe excitement of heading back to school —meeting a new teacher, seeing who will be in yourclass, wearing new school clothes — is only threeweeks away.But for way too many kids in the Issaquah andLake Washington school districts, there won’t be newclothes. An even bigger worry is that these studentswon’t have the school supplies they need.Most adults don’t remember the need to bring along list of supplies to school. An old cigar box washelpful to store pencils in, but the school handed outthe pencils and crayons on the first day of school. Ifthere was an assignment not in a workbook, theteacher’s helper got to pass out the paper.Construction paper folded in half made a cover forcorrected homework and tests and student art.That was then, when school funding meant booksfor every student, and all the rulers and pens andmarkers a student would need.Today, kids in the younger grades are evenrequired to bring a box of tissue. Put that togetherwith 1-inch notebooks, several pocket folders, coloredpencils, paper, erasers, dictionaries, scissors,glue sticks and calculators — plus a backpack toreplace the bygone days of lockers — and the cost isan easy $60 per student.With more families than ever needing theresources of the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank andHopelink, it’s hard to imagine how they endure theexpenses of a new school year. For many, they can’t.Last year, the Issaquah food bank handed out 650backpacks stuffed with requisite supplies — andcould have used more. Some local churches takecare of their own members, and many donations godirectly to the schools. It’s estimated that at least1,500 Issaquah students need help with school supplies.Issaquah food bank director Cherie Meier has adream. She hopes the community will provideenough so she can also get new socks, underwearand shoes for school-age clients.You can help. School supplies are being collectedat the food bank (or donate dollars online atwww.issaquahfoodbank.org), and at area storesincluding Staples, Bartell’s, Walgreen’s and Safewayin Issaquah and the Rite Aid store in Pine LakeVillage Shopping Center.Poll of the weekShould the city have done more for local businesses duringthe Senior Open?A) Yes, business is the lifeblood of a community.B) Maybe, but I’m not sure what they could have done.C) No. Government working to help business is corporatewelfare and flirts with socialism.To vote, visit www.<strong>Sammamish</strong><strong>Review</strong>.com.<strong>Sammamish</strong> ForumThe city blew itFor one week, <strong>Sammamish</strong> hadthe privilege of hosting the prestigiousU.S. Senior Open at SahaleeCountry Club. What a great week itwas for our community to have thisopportunity. As a resident and golffan, I made sure to take full advantage.However, as a resident and localbusiness owner, I found it very frustratingthat fans and businesses alikecould not take more advantage ofthe tournament and its close proximity.After approaching the city of<strong>Sammamish</strong> in December withother local business owners, andpresenting them with variousoptions, over several meetings thatwould provide transportation alternativesfor local residents, we wereinformed there would be no supportfrom the city. Thus, we would havenearly 150,000 spectators and anestimated $30 million spent elsewhere.In a time when the city of<strong>Sammamish</strong> is moving forward withplans for a new Town Center, theyseem to overlook the fact that thereis an abundance of vacant retailspace. I count four in Saffron andtwo in the Safeway/Ace Hardwareshopping center. How do theyexpect to seek new businesses whenthey can’t keep existing businesses?I don’t blame the 500 residents ofSahalee for not wanting foot trafficcoming through their neighborhood.I don’t blame the USGA for supportingthe city of Redmond when theyaccept them with open arms and arevery accommodating.I do place blame on the city of<strong>Sammamish</strong> for not listening andbeing proactive with plenty of leadtime from residents and businessowners. Having approached them inDecember, we had six-eight monthsto get everything in place for transportationalternatives that wouldbenefit residents of <strong>Sammamish</strong> andsurrounding communities.However, upon being told it wasnot an option by city leaders, businessowners then backed off. Onlywhen residents began to voice theiropinion, and rightly so, in April didthe pot get stirred again. Yet again,nothing came to fruition.In an economic climate wherethe city realizes it must lookbeyond property tax revenue, andattract retail businesses, it clearlyhas work to do.Leash your dogsPublished every Wednesday byIssaquah Press Inc.Jason SchaeferOwner, Golf USAOur family also has a preciouslittle dog. This afternoon he and Iwere enjoying some time in ourfront yard near the East Lake<strong>Sammamish</strong> Trail when a popularbreed dashed to our defenselessfour-legged family member.I was able to take the encroachingdog by the collar. As the dog’smaster approached I kindly askedher to please keep her dog on aleash.She told me she usuallydoes, but she unleashed him justfor a second to get a drink ofwater. I explained to her that thesame breed came within a quarterinch of killing ours not too longago, also along the trail.That horrific incident only tooka second to happen. I plead withyou to always follow the leash lawand keep water for your dog withyou along with your doggie do-doclean up bag. We witness toomany on the trail that do not havetheir dogs on leashes or allowtheir dogs to be out of control.This is an attempt to escapeanother near death or death experienceof others and our beloveddog.Stephanie Acre<strong>Sammamish</strong>Safety and barricadesIt appears that persons on bothsides of the issue of removal ofretention of barricades in<strong>Sammamish</strong> support improvedsafety.

Bruce had stayedbehind, and Marion had not yetreturned from the late gamewhen she got the news. The liverwasn’t healthy enough to transplant.“It was just devastating,” shesaid. “I was just heartbroken.”Bruce drove her home.Now, she sits, waiting for thephone to ring, waiting for anotherchance to do it all again.“I’ve already been told that liversare scarce right now,” shesaid.Editor Ari Cetron can bereached at 392-6434, ext. 233, orsamrev@isspress.com.

8 • <strong>August</strong> <strong>11</strong>, <strong>2010</strong> SAMMAMISH REVIEWLocal ‘Judge Judy’ suspended for ‘rude’ behaviorBy Warren KagariseThe state Supreme Court hassuspended Judge Judith Eiler —the brusque King County DistrictCourt judge who has drawn comparisonsto TV’s “Judge Judy” —from the bench without pay forrude behavior.In a decision issued Aug. 5,Supreme Court justices orderedEiler to be suspended for fivedays without pay. The judge usedto preside at the IssaquahCourthouse, but has since beenreassigned to a district courthousein Seattle. Her caseloadconsists mostly of traffic infractionsand small claims.“Several litigants — and evensome attorneys — reported being‘embarrassed’ by Judge Eiler’s‘degrading’ treatment, and feeling‘mocked,’ ‘attacked’ and ‘uncomfortable’in her courtroom,”Justice James Johnson wrote inthe high court’s majority opinion.Justices cited “voluminous testimonyat trial documentingJudge Eiler’s rude, discourteous,undignified and demeaning treatmentof the attorneys and pro selitigants who appeared beforeher, we find that clear, cogent,and convincing evidence” againsther.Anne Bremner, the high-profileSeattle attorney representingEiler, could not be reached forcomment.The state Judicial ConductCommission censured Eiler inApril 2009 for interrupting litigantsand using “idiot” and otherdisrespectful language todescribe them. Commissionersasked the Supreme Court to suspendher for 90 days without pay.Eiler contested the reprimand.In the decision issued lastJudge JudithEilerweek, the highcourt reducedthe punishmentto fivedays.“JudgeEiler’s rude,discourteousand impatientbehavior wascertainlyunprofessional,but it did not go so far as toundermine the integrity andindependence of the judiciary,demonstrate disrespect for thelaw or evidence any failure byJudge Eiler to obey it or denyany person legally interested in aproceeding his or her full right tobe heard according to law,”Johnson wrote.In the dissent, Justice GerryAlexander said Eiler deserved the90-day suspension, because shehad not changed her behaviordespite past reprimands.“This repetitive misconductcalls for a penalty more severethan a reprimand, the penaltymeted out in 2005,” he wrote.The commission cited Eiler forsimilar behavior in 2005. Shecompleted sensitivity and ethicstraining as part of the reprimandthen. Commissioners notedEiler’s earlier discipline problemsin the opinion issued last April.Judicial Conduct CommissionExecutive Director Reiko Callnersaid a judge should not use his orher power to bully litigants,because people appearing beforea judge cannot respond in kind.“What the code is there to upholdis the independence and integrity ofthe judiciary,” Callner said.Lynnwood resident Paul Seiler,a mechanical engineer and formerIssaquah resident, appearedbefore Eiler in summer 2008after a state trooper caught himspeeding on Interstate 90 inIssaquah. Seiler told the judge hehad been going with the flow oftraffic; he said she respondedwith a sharp, “You have your ownspeedometer.”“Her tone was very condescending,”Seiler said.Bellevue attorney DavidMason recalled appearing beforethe judge during a civil case atthe Issaquah Courthouse. Masonsaid Eiler made condescendingremarks to attorneys during thetrial. In the end, she ruledagainst Mason and his client.“I will never, ever appear infront of her again after that nightmare,”Mason said.South King County voterselected Eiler to the bench in 1992See JUDGE, Page 9GoodmanContinued from Page 2budget battles like the one thathappened this spring.Goodman said he thought thelegislature struck a good balancebetween program cuts and newtaxes when it closed the $2.6 billionbudget hole with an assortmentof measures, including cutsto class-size funding and newtaxes on soda and candy.“This was the worst economicrecession in 80 years – this wasn’tbusiness as usual,” he said. “Ithink Washington citizens are bigenough to understand that theseRogerGoodmanare tough times and (the taxes)are temporary measures.”Goodman also passionatelysupports the overturning of TimEyman’s tax initiative thatrequired a two-thirds majority inthe legislature to approve any taxincreases. He called it andInitiative I-1052, a similar Eymaninitiative on November’s ballot,undemocratic, citing works ofpolitical theory like the FederalistPapers.“When you require a twothirdsmajority, you put theminority in power – that fundamentallyclashes with theAmerican system,” he said. “Ihear the seething anger fromsome people that we disregardedthe will of the people, but we didn’thear fromthem whenwe were suspendingtheteacher payinitiative.”Goodmanalso has distinctviewson drug policy.He sponsoredHouseBill 2401,which would have legalized marijuanaand had the state sell it –heavily taxed – through liquorstores. It died in committee.“We grew up with it, now weneed to grow up about it,”Goodman said of marijuana. “Weneed to get it out of our schoolsand off the streets and the onlyway we can do that is by regulatingit.”In general, Goodman said hesupports treatment solutions fordrug offenders, not incarceration.He called the War on Drugs a“corrosive” policy and said thestate and federal government iswasting money on putting nonviolentdrug users in expensiveprisons.He also credits himself for therole he and other Eastside leadersplayed in securing fundingfor local road projects like theHighway 202 widening and the520 bridge overhaul, which isscheduled to be complete in2014. The bridge will have threelanes going each way, includingan HOV lane, and will requiretolling, though billions of dollarsof funding is still needed to completethe west side of the bridge.Goodman said he’s proud ofwhat he’s accomplished and hewill continue to concentrate onsmall but substantive issues thatdon’t always grab headlines.“I’m not wasting my time dealingwith all the drama and themarquee issues,” Goodman said.“I’m not wasting my time introducingbills just to make a statement.”Reporter Caleb Heeringa can bereached at 392-6434. ext. 247, orcheeringa@isspress.com.

The 10K run willbe officially timed and count as aqualifier for those interested inimproving times for other races,said Lisa Stinson, the church’scommunications director.The event, set for Sept. <strong>11</strong> atSamammish PresbyterianChurch, will benefit the IJM’sefforts to free people caught inslavery, human trafficking, andvarious forms of violence aroundthe world. The church also partnerswith Seattle Against Slavery,a local organization that addressesthe increasing problem of sextrafficking and slavery in thePacific Northwest.“This is still happening in ourworld, in our country,” said AlexSum, executive director and cofounderof the Seattle organization.“There is a movement inthe world to, ‘we need to cleanPhoto by Christopher HuberTeens from the <strong>Sammamish</strong> Presbyterian Church Mid-High youth group walk along Inglewood HillRoad Aug. 3.

The event is gearedtoward raising awareness amongthe whole population, but theyouth tend to get more passionateabout supporting a cause likethis, said Becki Barrett, associatepastor of missions at <strong>Sammamish</strong>Presbyterian.“It’s important kids understandwhat can happen,” Barrett said.Recently the church’s Mid-High youth group picketed along228th Avenue Southeast andInglewood Hill Road, yelling andwaving signs that said “Honk ifyou hate slavery.” They also collected“loose change to loosenchains” Aug. 3.In just a few hours, about 25youth in the Mid-High group collected$120.31 in change, saidyouth group intern Amber Slate.“They are all about raisingmoney for this,” she said. “It wasreally great; a lot of communityresponse. We were able to get ourwhole mission across. It instillsthe whole lifestyle of mission.”After picketing and collectingchange, Mid-High youth groupmember D.J. Lambert said ithelped him and his peers appreciatewhat children their agecaught in slavery or human traffickinggo through.“A lot of people don’t knowthere’s slavery. It’s cool to helpspread the word about that,”Lambert said. “I feel very blessed.I feel I need to give more.”Educating people about therealities of human trafficking andslavery is the access point to getSee JUSTICE, Page 24Students work to jazz up time spent at the airportBy Tara SackmanOne of the most impersonal,stressful and sometimes boringprocesses is going to the airport.The lines are long, there arenever enough power outlets andpeople are herded from one placeto another like cattle.“It never seemed to make anysense when I was in an airport.There was never anything to do,”Erik Hedberg, rising senior at theUniversity of Washington said.Hedberg, a Skyline graduate,worked for an entire quarter atthe University of Washington,with five other students to “redefinethe humanization of flightand make it more user-friendly,”Hedberg said. The project wasdone as part of a class for industrialdesign students. Studentscollaborated with Teague, anindustrial design company, whosponsored, met with, and advisedthe students.“This is the kind of stuff theydo in the real world for a lot ofmoney,” Hedberg said.The students brainstormed different ways to improve the ariport experience.While the students had manyideas to start out with, they hadto refine them into a morefocused project. The group choseto focus on improving the experienceof waiting at or near yourgate.One option for improvementwas an iPhone application, whichwas mostly designed by IrmiLarsen, another group member.The application would providethe user with real time updateson flight status, but after youcheck in would turn into a countdownto boarding time. It wouldalso suggest activities near thegate.“The goal was to get morevalue for the time that you arethere,” Hedberg said.Another tangible idea was anentirely new freestanding structuremade of reusable shippingcrates. The structure would bethree levels. The bottom floorwould address the constant needto use and charge electronics.The tiles in the floor would bemixed with a special type of crystalthat creates energy asstressed. The energy would besent to an alternator and wouldfuel the outlets in the apparatus.People would literally be able tocharge their computers as theystepped.ContributedSee FLIGHT, Page 23

Camera operation andediting technique was just an extra thing tolearn.The final video included detailed audio andvisual explanations of the project as explainedby the members themselves.“It was great in the end. Other groups justdid slideshows. The video was a really intimateexperience, it wasreally special,” Hedbergsaid.Since the project was sodetailed, some of the dutieswere split up, but in theend every member contributedthe brainstormingof ideas.“It’s that cliché phrase, ateam is more than the sum of its parts,” Chusaid. Chu said that ideas were refined as thegroup discussed them more and more.Hedberg is still not sure what area ofdesign he will enter after graduation, but hedoes want to educate people about the field.“Design is one of those things that’s underappreciated.People don’t realize what’sinvolved and that there are options to changethe way things are,” Hedberg said.Intern Tara Sackman can be reached at 392-6434, ext. 233 or samrev@isspress.com.

He also likesto get people involved with theirschool cross-country teams.“It’s a great way for me to stayoutside and involved withyounger kids.
