s your Recreation Director, I’m always proud to bring a fun variety of summer camps to you, our members. Once again, we’ve upped the ante by adding a few new camps for our preschool-

aged members that I just couldn’t resist. One of my favorites is Princess Camp. Oh, sweet Princess Camp!

Growing up, my sister and I had a toy box full of dress-up clothes. It was mostly old petticoats and shiny odds and ends from grandma’s closet, but to us it was enough to pull together a grandiose wedding or ball in a matter of minutes.

Hold on, I know what you’re thinking. She’s a girly girl—all fluff and foo-foo. You couldn’t be further from the truth. Those petticoats and shiny things were pulled over a pair of jeans and tennis shoes. Sure, every good sister has to make her brother marry the cat a few times in life, which obviously requires dressing for the occasion, but I was a no-frills girl to the core.

I’d like to say that I’ve become quite the girly girl over the years and this is why I’m drawn to Princess Camp, but I must be honest; I have a job that entails wearing yoga pants to work on most days, my feet ache at the sight of high heels and my ears will never be pierced.

No, the real reason I’m excited for Princess Camp is because I love the way little ones light up at the idea of being their favorite princesses. It’s at this place of light that preschoolers shine.

The chance to engage in creative play and to pretend to be their favorite char-acters is the best experience any of us can give children. That’s why I love Princess Camp. Did I mention princes are welcome as well? And they won’t even have to marry a cat. I’ll make sure of it.

If you have a little tomboy like I used to be, let her join the ranks of junior members who’d rather go by Peter Parker than their given name. Your young su-perhero will love Superhero Camp, where creative play galore awaits. All special powers will be put to the test, and a cape must be worn in order to save the day!

May your little one enjoy playing all summer long!

JUNE 2013

6 | june 2013 reflections


Woman got there first, but in the early 1900s, he got his due. Fa-ther’s Day was founded years after Mother’s Day, but it was a

woman who lobbied to help get dads the recognition they too deserve.

Although there were many in the U.S. who claimed to be considering creating the

holiday, Sonora Dodd is credited with push-ing it forward.

The day has local roots, too, with its first official celebration at the YMCA in Spokane on June 19, 1910. But it wasn’t until 1972, when President Richard Nixon declared it a na-tional holiday, that the idea of Father’s Day finally stuck—the third Sunday of June.

june 2013community

So now that he’s finally got his day, which is June 16 this year, make it extra special by celebrating as a family! Below are some ideas to get you started.

1 Take a sTroll down memory lane. Compile pictures, ticket stubs and other memorabilia into a scrapbook so dad has a yearbook of sorts to look through. It’s a great way for kids to share their special memories with dad, and for everyone to look at the family’s growth over the years.

2 Bridge The generaTion gap.Celebrate with dad, his dad and his to honor strong family traditions in the spirit of the true meaning of the holiday. You can throw a barbecue, plan a game night or take a special day trip to somewhere with mean-ing, and trade family stories.

3 help lighTen The load. If dad’s the type to take care of the yard work or the fixing up around the house, clear his to-do list by checking things off for him. Show-ing appreciation through acts of kindness like these often means the most. If you want to be extra sweet, bake him his favorite treat as an added thank-you for all that he does.

5 make him a sTar. A cute idea for younger kids is to shoot a “day in the life of dad” video. Have the kids dress up like dad and perform his daily activities. Your take can be authentic or humorous, and with smartphones and webcams, filming is easy. Best of all, it’ll be a great keepsake.

4 give him a choice. From fitness classes to private lessons, fine dining to relax-ing spa services and Woodinville wine tours to photography classes, a Bellevue Club gift card is about freedom of choice among the many programs, classes, events and dining options available every day at the Club.

No matter how you show your appre-ciation to dad this year, have fun with it. The poor guy is a few decades behind mom, and there’s a lot of celebrating to make up for.

DADhas his day

Seattle Skihawks. Kari’s been on the team for 16

years, and during the January Invita-tional Ski Challenge at Snoqualmie Summit West, she had a 3.55 race time on the Giant Slalom.

That time took her to regionals in February, where she earned third in Giant Slalom, fourth in Slalom and second in Super T, with partner Rennick Oxford.

In early March, she competed in State. Kari took home silver in Slalom, the cap to a wonderful season of competition.

We congratulate Kari on her hard work and well-deserved wins!

In this regard, summer celebrations are a way for vine aficionados to gather and pay respect to the countless hours, days, years that go into making a bottle of truly exquisite wine.

With the more than 750 wineries in Washington state, there’s no excuse to pass on the opportunity to partake in the fun of a festival. Here are three events to uncork this summer.

Honor THy BeverageWine is a social drink evoking personal experiences. It’s meant to be enjoyed among friends and discussed with enthusiasm. The culture is collegial—filled with knowledgeable makers, drinkers and the curious.

Kirkland Uncorked

when: July 19-21where: Marina Park, Kirkland, WashingtonThis annual favorite is set on Kirkland’s beautiful waterfront, complete with live music, a tasting garden, art and bites. Indulge in one-ounce pours from nearly 24 different wineries, and once you find the one that hits your tongue just right, you can take it home. To add to the fun, there will be a grill-off on Saturday, and plenty of food from local restaurants to soak up the wine pours. Between a boat show and a dog modeling contest, it’s a festival for the masses—connoisseurs, novices and families. A ticket will get you 10 tasting tokens, with most pours between one and two tokens. Don’t fret, though, as more can be purchased. more info: www.kirklanduncorked.com

Picnic & Barrel Auction

when: August 15 at 4 p.m.where: Chateau Ste. Michelle WineryWoodinville, WashingtonThe summer culminates in the annual auction, held at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery. It’s like your elementary school field day, redesigned for adults only.Throughout a course of games are more than 100 winemakers, and a team of chefs from Tulalip Resort Casino. So while you try and toss the ring around the wine bottle, you can taste and mingle with the countless winemakers lingering in the crowd.But it’s all about the barrel. At the barrel auction, you can sample the not-yet-bottled wines, and when you find one you can’t live without, place a bid on a case. The top five highest bids for each winery take home a medal and are the first to get the wine when it’s released—a prize better than a silly trophy. more info: www.auctionofwash-ingtonwines.org

The festival provides the opportunity to honor the makers who live by the light and the climate; the ones who are always on standby to nurture their vineyard with the greatest care. Tip your glass in thanks.

With Snoqualmie’s DirtFish Rally School (www.dirtfish.com), you’re not only allowed to get a

little muddy on the courses, you’re actually encouraged to. The roads are unpaved—made of gravel and dirt—and drivers learn how to control the car and handle the thrill in a fantastically filthy environment.

The school offers two-hour, half-day, one-day, two-day, three-day and private classes, and drivers take away throttle management, a left-foot braking technique, an understand-ing of weight transfer, the ability to provoke and correct slides and proper rally line. For the purpose of the class, it’s best if students are already comfortable driving a manual transmission—all of the cars are Subaru Impreza STIs

Drivers are in control of a four-cylinder, turbocharged engine—roaring 300-plus horse-power built in. Inside, the car boasts a rally

intercom system, hydraulic hand brake and a racing harness. Add in custom engine map-ping, 15-inch alloy gravel rally wheels and World Rally Car spec gravel racing tires, and you have everything you need to drive hard.

To the delight of drivers, most of the class time is spent on the course, with minimal time spent indoors, used mainly to provide background on driving on the tougher ter-rain. Class size is a draw too, with a nine-student cap and a two-to-one student-in-structor ratio.

This ratio becomes the format during the driving, as two students share a car. While one cruises and rallies, the other debriefs with the instructor, as part of a pit stop. DirtFish struc-tures it this way so students learn from each other, while also studying specific techniques with the instructors. Part of rallying is bor-rowing skills from other drivers and learning how to apply them in your own car—it’s an

almost-always evolving sport. Adrenaline junkies begin on a skid pad

to master basic car control techniques, and then speed over to the handling course. The intensity surges on the slalom, where driv-ers manipulate the car’s balance, and it finishes on the rally roads, all of which are within the 315-acre facility.

The instructors are diehard car fans, having competed in the World Rally Cham-pionship races in Europe. So don’t expect any boring DMV-like ride-alongs here. Chances are, your instructor will be just as excited to be behind the wheel as you. Though you won’t be getting scored, their main concern will be your safety, as well bettering your technique.

To satisfy the need for (dirty) speed and honor that appreciation for handling, pre-pare your gears. Getting schooled has never been quite so fun.

t’s always been a game of strategy and athleticism. It’s a sport where the short game can define a champion,

who can slice through the pressure before walking away a winner.

Golf is also special in that it’s a game where pros and novices can play alongside each other, and actually have a competitive round—courtesy of the handicap.

But in these parts, the short game has a lasting effect in the long run. Charity golf tournaments steal the summer, and while the players wipe the sweat from their brow and hold their club steady for a perfect drive, they’re also raising money and awareness for local and national programs.

Two of the area’s largest tournaments are gearing up to raise big money—combin-ing philanthropy and sport—a hole in one.

Since its inception 13 years ago, it has raised more than $60 million—an astonishing amount that helps the Children’s Hospital as it constantly strives to provide top care, re-gardless of a family’s ability to pay.

This year’s event expects to see 1,224 golfers on eight courses, with 1,200 guests attending the opening party at Safeco Field, and more than 250 sponsors involved with ensuring the tournament’s success.

“The special relationship we have with Costco and all our sponsors is based on the

His approach was swift. There were some divots along the way—many literal—but his follow-

through got him back into a successful range. Now, member Scott Oki owns 11 golf courses.

Born in Seattle, Scott spent one year at the University of Washington, during the same time as the Vietnam War. But he didn’t have enough credits to maintain a student deferment from the draft, and he was im-mediately reclassified as 1-A.

But going to war was the last thing Scott wanted to do, so he took the advice of a friend, who told him to audition for the Air

Force Academy band. There, Scott played the saxophone; he took private lessons with the same instructor who taught Kenny G—“He’s much better than I was,” Scott jokes—and played Generals’ retirement parties, and for the cadets when they marched in to every meal.

It was a way for Scott to pursue one of his interests—music—and to finish his schooling. He graduated from the Univer-sity of Colorado with a bachelor’s of science in accounting and computer science, and an MBA. He was the top graduate in his class, he only modestly admits.

But it was a job he took in the technol-

ogy sector that would eventually pave the way to Scott’s current passion. After a transfer to California, cofounding a soft-ware startup with three others and consult-ing at MicroPro, a bigger, badder company threw a wedge into the game.

Microsoft began to emerge, and its birthplace piqued Scott’s interest. “I fi-nally ended up writing a letter to Bill,” Scott says. “It got passed on to Steve Ballmer, and talk about serendipity!” Steve had recognized Scott’s name from that little startup venture in California, and Scott was “smart enough to accept” a job offer.

Well, the Microsoft guys liked to play

a few rounds in the afternoon, and Scott, a novice, didn’t like not being good at something. “I ran out of golf balls after nine holes, but I was hooked!” he says. “I couldn’t figure out why it was so hard to hit a stationary object.”

For weeks, he pounded thousands of golf balls, soon realizing that owning his own course, where he could play when and where he wanted, could be the best course of action.

After more than 20 years, he retired from Microsoft, which left more time for the game, which then became a business.

“The original idea really had nothing to do with the business of golf. I just loved the game,” Scott says. “It’s one of the few sports that you can be competitive with all kinds of varying capabilities and expertise.”

Though he didn’t know much about the business aspect of owning a course, in 1994, he bought one anyway—Echo Falls.

“There are a lot of gotchas when you actually look under the covers—drainage and irrigation, specifically. I knew nothing about the topography. I wasn’t thinking about that.”

Eventually, though, he had to. A large garbage site had become available, so Scott lined up the shot and took it.

The area was filled with construction de-bris—no garbage—but it still took years to develop, as teams moved millions of cubic yards of dirt. “We had to find a place to move it,” Scott says knowingly. “At the Coal Creek course, between the ninth and 18th fairways, which was supposed to be a valley, is now a hill.”

The Newcastle courses, Coal Creek and China Creek, became numbers two and three of the quickly developing Oki brand. The Golf Club at Newcastle has 36 holes and panoramic views of Lake Washington, Mount Rainier, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains and the Seattle skyline. “I would argue that you wouldn’t find any better views, probably in the world, when it comes to an urban golf course,” Scott says.

The course is Scott’s personal favorite, and the only one he built from grounds to greens.

He began to acquire more along the I-5 corridor, because to him, location was critically important. Scott didn’t want to play the same course day in and day out, so having a portfolio to choose from, espe-cially for Oki Players Card holders, was a must. “I just want to give a good experience to as many people as possible when they come to one of our properties.”

The Oki properties, though different,

“Anybody can be a philanthropist. Possibilities are endless.”

still have a style to maintain. “Branding is critical. For most golfers, the condition of the course is absolutely paramount—greens should run true, should be cut well and not bumpy—same with fairways. It’s the nature of the business.”

But for Scott, business has always been personal. He lives by his personal mission statement: “To marry my passion for things entrepreneurial with things philanthropic in ways that encourage others to do the same.”

So he now devotes most of his time to nonprofit organizations, and he has founded or cofounded 20 in the last 20 years. He and his wife Laurie have three children, so Scott’s main philanthropic focus is children’s health and welfare, along with public education reform.

“When I was growing up, our family had nothing. As a child, I probably didn’t notice that we didn’t have a lot.” But now, he’s making sure others have more; and through his organization See Your Impact (seey-ourimpact.org), he’s showing others how giving only a little can make a big differ-ence. “Anybody can be a philanthropist. Possibilities are endless.”

Scott says he’s still trying to work through his bucket list. Although he didn’t mention whether owning and operating 11 golf courses or founding 20 nonprofits is on that list, one can assume that Scott isn’t done, and doesn’t want to be.

“I’ve always worked hard,” he says. “Still do.”

Health and wellness tips from Bellevue Club managers and Overlake Hospital Medical center staff.

When beginning a strength training routine, focus on the larger muscle groups first—chest, back and thighs—because they require the greatest amount of effort. This will vary depend-ing on your overall goal. For example, if you want to strengthen your back and abs, work on your core first. Devote the beginning of the exercise to the area you most want to improve.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average American adult who drinks on a regular basis adds 100 calories to his/her daily caloric intake. Some 20 percent of adults drink more than 300 extra calories a day from alcohol. If you’ve been struggling to lose weight, monitor your alcohol consumption, and cut down to one or two drinks a week. Cutting 250 calories a day can result in a half-pound weight loss each week; however, the opposite is also true.

To help your kids sidestep each other’s shadows, make sure to avoid compar-ing accomplishments. It’s best to treat chil-dren individually, with their unique strengths and weaknesses. Also, encourage a healthy relationship between siblings by asking them what they admire about each other, and allow each to have time alone with his/her friends and toys. We all need space sometimes.

eemingly endless days are filled with possibilities for fun, creativity and relaxation. Daylight hours stretch well into the evening,

conjuring a stockpile of energy.With school out, kids are left harnessing

this energy; whether productively or not is completely up to the summer agenda. They deserve a break after more than nine months of hitting the books and listening attentively, but break does not need to equate to boredom.

Each year, the Bellevue Club arms itself with an excess of summer programming to suit any personality and match any interest. The first week of fun begins June 24, so if you haven’t already, browse the summer 2013 youth brochure online (www.bellevueclub.com/youth) and find the classes and camps that suit your taste.

Athletic

If you’re child is a mover, always ready for a challenge and eager to play, the various sports camps hit the mark. The all-sports camp is a fun, active way to engage in many sports, where the swim camp is ideal for the water lover. From basketball to soccer to

squash and even Northwest Double Dutch, there are several athletic morning and afternoon camps from which to choose.

Special Interest

If summer is the time for your child to spend his or her time working toward a specific goal, or developing a skill, the Club specialty camps can foster that passion.

Youth can become certified during the American Red Cross Junior Lifeguarding training, or learn how to become a leader during the new Junior Instructor experience—where preteens and older learn communication and leadership skills by assisting with the swim and all-sports camps alongside Bellevue Club staff.

The Youth Wellness camp is another new option for ages 6-12 to learn what wellness means for the mind and body—skills that will surely be useful throughout their lives.

Creative

Dabbling in the arts is a great way to work the right side of the brain, after a school year of stretching the left’s logical

and structural prowess. Youth have the opportunity to indulge

in cooking lessons, music lessons, ballet lessons, herb gardening, art camp, hip hop camp, LEGO camp, music camp and others.

The little ones can also get started early with the ever-popular Mom and Me classes—such as Kindermusik Village, Kindermusik Our Time and art with mom.

For the preschoolers, there’s pre-ballet/creative dance, super hero for a week, princess for a week and other fun, imaginative options. Because budding imaginations need nurturing!

There are so many more camps available than listed here, along with various half-day and full-day options. Whether your child is looking to stay busy one week, one month or all summer, the Club has got you and your family covered. Let the fun begin!

RIDING EXPRESS

june 2013fitness

REFLECTIONS: How often do you ride on tHe expresso bikes?

randall: I ride five to seven days a week, depending.

REFLECTIONS: wHy do prefer tHese bikes to otHer options available at tHe Club? randall: The fun thing is also the frustrat-ing thing: these bikes keep track and rank. When I started I was quite a bit slower. It’s been fun to see improvement.

REFLECTIONS: How long Have you been using tHe expresso bikes? randall: Since Oct. 2011.

REFLECTIONS: How long do you typi-Cally ride during eaCH workout? randall: I try to ride 45 to 50 minutes.

REFLECTIONS: How do you stay moti-vated tHrougHout your ride? randall: I listen to music—the more mindless the better. I find words somewhat distracting, so I listen to smooth jazz—sort of like elevator music, which I don’t like at other times!

REFLECTIONS: wHiCH is your favorite Course to ride? randall: My favorite courses are Ex-presso speedway to warm up, then there are two rides that are mirror images of each other at 13.5 miles: “Pyramid Mountain” and “Temple Ridge.”Jim and I motivate each other because we have often beaten each other by only a matter of seconds.

To ride express, hop on an expresso bike in studios 1, 2 and 4. The more you enjoy a workout, the more likely you are to make fitness a part of your every-day life!

Two Bellevue Club members have been pedaling plenty during the last few months. They’ve taken advantage of the Club’s Expresso bikes for an interactive way to work out with riders across the world, and have ranked among the most dedicated—in terms of mileage and calories burned. Plus, they battle each other.

REFLECTIONS caught up with the riders to see what keeps them on course.

REFLECTIONS: How often do you ride on tHe expresso bikes? jim: Monday through Friday, and some-times one day over the weekend, too.

REFLECTIONS: wHy do prefer tHese bikes to otHer options available at tHe Club? jim: The courses simulate actual riding with hills, scenery, etc. They also allow you to track all kinds of things, such as miles ridden, calories burned, fastest course times (seasonally and overall), trophies earned (for accumulated mileage) and how you compare to other riders, which keeps me motivated.

Jim Samuel#21 ranked Expresso rider in the world, Jan. 2013. Jim rode 413.48 miles and burned 19,680 calories.#98 ranked Expresso rider in the world, Feb. 2013. Jim rode 295.84 miles and burned 13,932 calories.

REFLECTIONS: How long Have you been using tHe expresso bikes?

jim: About a year and a half.

R E FLECTION S : How long do you t y p i C a l ly r i d e d u r i n g e a C H workout? jim: A minimum of 30 minutes, but fre-quently 45 to 60 minutes.

REFLECTIONS: How do you stay moti-vated tHrougHout your ride? jim: The bike interaction itself is enough for me to stay motivated, and I don’t use other distractions too much, except for an occasional peek at the TV.

REFLECTIONS: wHiCH is your favorite Course to ride? jim: Probably the most difficult one, which is called “Savage Revenge” because it is so demanding and is 20 miles long. I try to do this course twice a season.

Randall Uyeno#96 ranked Expresso rider in the world, Nov. 2012. Randall rode 249.2 miles and burned 10,806 calories.#24 ranked Expresso rider in the world, Jan. 2013. Randall rode 385.68 miles and burned 16,590 calories.

june 2013 living well

oon, high school graduates will be starting a new adventure, and heading off to college. For many, this will be the first time they have

had total control of what they eat and when they eat, and this can quickly lead to what is known as the “freshmen 15.”

Many college freshmen gain, some quickly, some gradually, and it can be a struggle to lose the weight—with new eating habits, and convenient choices rather than healthy ones.

To avoid unwanted weight gain, it is important to recognize that we are in control over everything that goes into our mouths. Although there is some controversy over the exact number, it is generally accepted that people gain one pound of fat for every 3,500 calories consumed (through food, and for many freshmen, through alcohol) above what the body needs.

Liquid calories are often the problem. When out with friends, it’s easy to consume just one or two drinks, and if you go out frequently, this can add up to a lot of calories!

Another trap is eating a lot of fast food or junk food, say, when studying or under a lot of stress. Its popularity is understandable—it’s usually quite cheap, and it tastes good, too! However, it’s best to limit intake to an occasional treat, rather than making fast food a stable part of your diet.

But even here, a few simple changes can save a lot of calories. According to data collected by the Palo Alto Medical Foundation of Sutter Health, choosing to have a McDonald’s hamburger instead of their Quarter Pounder with Cheese can

The following chart, courtesy of “WebMD,” shows how many calories are in popular beverages:

the 15

save you 470 calories. Choosing Wendy’s small French fries instead of their Great Biggie size will save you 310 calories and choosing a Wendy’s small Frosty instead of a McDonald’s Triple Thick Shake will save you 1,000 calories!

While it’s common sense to know that these foods aren’t the healthiest, it can sometimes be challenging to know how to eat properly, with so many guidelines out there.

The Healthy Plate Method provides a good general guide. So when you’re going through the cafeteria line, imagine that you have divided your plate in half. Half of the plate should be vegetables—whether a salad, or a side of cooked vegetables. The other half of the plate is divided into quarters. One quarter is filled with foods high in protein, such as legumes, or animal-based proteins. The other quarter should be filled with starches—grains, potatoes, corn, peas or winter squash. On the side, you could choose to have either some fruit or a glass of milk.

If you occasionally overeat, don’t forget the importance of exercise—whether it be through intramural sports or enjoying a walk around campus with a friend—to help burn off some of those extra calories!

TreaT your body well. It’s best to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, but our GPX program, where most classes are at least 50 minutes, puts you ahead of the game.

Care for your skin. Proper sun protection and daily cleansing provide the one-two punch you’ll need. The Spa also offers additional treatments, such as a renew pedicure and body bronzer.

Clean your CloseT. As one season comes to a close, get rid of the items you never wore during the winter by donating them locally.

enjoy seasonal TreaTs. It’s berry season, so whether you pick your own or buy from the farmers market, indulge in fresh eating.

HydraTe. When the weather warms, it’s even more crucial to get your recommended eight glasses of water daily.

sCrub. Skin may become extra flaky as it dries out, so exfoliate daily to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

forgeT THe salT. Excess salt can create puffiness and under-eye bags because it causes the body to retain water. De-bloat with foods rich in Vitamins E and C.

nourisH your nails. Before you hit the sand and the surf, which can really damage your nails, get a cuticle treat-ment for added strength and health.

Take sToCk. Empty the cabinets of all the winter comfort foods and replace with fresh produce and easy-to-grab, nutritional snacks.

finisH THe lisT. Cross off any projects you’ve procrastinated, with an early-June deadline. This way, you’ll have a summer free of tedious obligations.
