The first step might be removing the word “terribly” from your vocabulary. In a June New York Times column, Walking the Bible author Bruce Feiler details six things you should never say to a sick person, even though you might think they’re innocent words. One was, “Did you try that mango colonic I recommended?” The other five things not to say are in this puzzle.

Sports, school, synagogue and scouts • Also: Longtime Red Cross volunteer diana bReMent JTNews Columnist 1 It’s always great when families get along, and more so when blended families do. Stepbrothers Raphi Schuster and Daniel Kaplan are doubly, maybe quadruply, blessed: They enjoy the support of an array of parents and stepparents, and shared interests in sports, school, synagogue and scouts. Members of Chief Seattle Council Boy Scout Troop 662, Raphi and Daniel were inducted as Eagle Scouts together last month during a shared court of honor held at their synagogue, Temple B’nai Torah in Bellevue. This highest scout rank is only attained by a handful of scouts. Both young men turned their attention to the Jewish community for their required community service projects. “I built a drainage ditch on the corner of the temple property,” Raphi told me. Last winter, rainwater flowing down a hill purportedly flooded a neighbor’s basement. Raphi worked with troop members to remedy the situation, providing planning as well as execution. “It’s more about the leadership… than carrying out the physical labor,” he explained. Daniel’s project was “re-striping the [Jewish Day School] parking lot,” he said, because he’d repeatedly “noticed people couldn’t figure out where the stripes were.” (JDS and TBT share a parking lot.) He also improved some outside stairs with railings and lights. “It wasn’t a very safe staircase,” he said. His work also involved management and planning, including constructing templates so volunteers could place stripes correctly. Daniel is the son of John Kaplan and Carol Schuster, stepson of Brian Schuster and stepson of Michelle Kaplan, all of Bellevue. Raphi is the son of Brian Schuster and Terri Schuster of Bellevue and Carol’s stepson. Family and friends shared reflections on the boys’ lives at the court of honor, which concluded with a blessing from Cantor David Serkin-Poole. Raphi called the event “exciting… Everyone who helped me get there was there…celebrating.” The boys have deep roots in the Seattle area. Their grandparents are Rabbi Arlene Schuster of Bellevue and the late Dr. Joseph Schuster; Pauline Stusser of Seattle and the late Richard Stusser; Sharon Carmody of Seattle and John and Shar Carmody of Edmonds; and Dr. F. Alan and Margie Coombs of Salt Lake City. Juniors at Bellevue High School, Raphi and Daniel run track and cross country and are involved in clubs and activities. They are active in their temple tribe CourTeSy CaroL SChuSTer Stepbrothers Raphi Schuster, left, and Daniel Kaplan, during a board review in which they both earned the title of eagle Scout. youth group and the Reform movement’s local National Federation of Temple Youth chapter, for which Raphi is the merchandising and fundraising vice president. 2 By his own admission, landing a job with a “West Coast airplane manufacturer” was the furthest thing from Albert (Bert) Goldstein’s mind in 1974. But land here the Brooklyn native and retired Boeing engineer did. Back then, “I was never much of a volunteer,” he says. “Work was everything.” So on retiring in 1995, “it was time to give back.” He joined the Boeing Bluebills, Boeing retirees who volunteer in the community, mostly helping seniors with repair projects (www.bluebills.org). In 1998 he helped found the Olympic Peninsula Bluebills when he and his late wife Libby lived in Port Ludlow. When her illness brought them back to the Seattle area, he helped found a Bluebills Eastside chapter. That group decided to become active in the local Red Cross. “We started working in emergency shelters,” he says. “I wound up being trained as a manager for shelter operations.” X pAGe 20
