F O C U S
At the turn of the last century, Bellevue
prospered as a farming community. Today
Bellevue is a grown-up city with high-rises
dominating the once bucolic skyline, but
on Thursdays and Saturdays during the
growing season, a little bit of that agrarian
culture returns as the Bellevue Farmers
Market sets up shop. Local farms and arti-
sans from Sultan, Woodinville, Ellensburg
and more bring their meat and produce to
the market so Bellevue residents can enjoy
the fresh fruits of their labor.
Bellevue Farmers Market
What better way to celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing than with the wholesome bounty of
the harvest from local farmers? The Bel-
levue Farmers Market operates on Satur-
days in November through the 21st, and
the vendors will have everything you need
for a truly locally-sourced Thanksgiving
feast. Enjoy organic heritage-breed tur-
key from Windy N Ranch in Ellensburg,
cranberries from Bloom Creek Cranber-
ries in Olympia, winter squash, pump-
kins, onions, arugula, kale, carrots, and
honey from Boldbrook Farm in Sultan,
sausage for stuffing and potatoes from Ol-
sen Farms in Colville, bread from Proven
Bread in Woodinville, apples from Collins
Family Orchard in Selah, ready made pies
from Adrienne’s Cakes and Pies in Seattle,
pickles from Britt’s Live Culture Foods on
Whidbey Island, cheese from Tieton Farm
and Creamery in Tieton, wine from Wil-
ridge Winery whose vineyards are near
Yakima, and jam, herbs, and farm-made
holiday wreaths and decorations from
Growing Washington in Everson.
Windy N Ranch
Windy N Ranch is a family owned di-
versified meat ranch specializing in beef,
pig, lamb, goat, fryer chickens, stewing
hens, free range chicken eggs and free
range duck eggs all on Certified Organic
pastures in Ellensburg. Its goal is to pro-
duce the cleanest and most nutritional
food, while ensuring that the animals live
the best life possible. To that end, its ani-
mals are never fed nor given antibiotics,
growth hormones, steroids, stimulants or
ionophores, and its certified organic fields
do not receive herbicides or pesticides. Its
heritage breed turkeys are anywhere from
eight to 20 pounds and are available to
purchase fresh or frozen.

Bloom Creek Cranberries
Bloom Creek Cranberries is a small
cranberry farm near Olympia established
by Felix and Kathy Mahr in 1998. The
Mahrs use sustainable farming methods
on their purpose-built upland cranberry
bogs using soil amendments and care-
fully timed flooding to minimize the need
for agricultural chemicals. Their Stevens
cranberry vines grow bigger, redder, and
sweeter in the warm South Sound sum-
mers than cranberries from the coast. In
autumn the cranberries are picked and
sorted using the most gentle methods
possible and brought to local markets at
the peak of freshness.

Boldbrook Farm
Boldbrook Farm is a two-acre diverse
vegetable farm located in Sultan. The farm
is run by Marni Sorin and Steve Gisel,
who grow almost 50 different kinds of
vegetables and herbs, using ecologically
respectful farming methods. They are pas-
sionate about local food, healthy land, and
healthy communities. A big goal for these
farmers is to make their farm a welcoming
place for people to connect with their food
and with each other; the farmers market is
a great place to see this happening. Find
their produce each week at the Saturday
Bellevue Farmers Market and say hello.
www.boldbrookfarm.com
Olsen Farms
Olsen Farms is located in a mountain
valley just north of Colville. There they
grow more than 20 varieties of specialty
potatoes in all different colors, shapes, and
textures, and raise grass-fed beef, lamb,
and pork. Their animals are raised as sus-
tainably as possible, then slaughtered and
processed at the Olsens’ own small USDA
facility, Smokey Ridge Meats. Olsen Farms
sells their products to many restaurants
and directly to consumers at numerous
farmers markets in the Spokane and Se-
attle areas. Special orders for potatoes and
custom cut meats are always welcome.

Proven Bread
Alexis Carson is passionate about great
bread and brings 12 years of professional
baking experience to Proven Bread. She
spent eight years learning the art and sci-
ence of baking artisanal breads at Brio
Breadworks in northern California and
the last three years exploring pastry pro-
duction in Seattle at Le Rêve Bakery and
Café and at Café Besalu under James Beard
Award Nominee baker James Miller. Com-
bining natural fermentation processes with
flavorful Washington-grown flour yields
the type of bread you didn’t know you were
missing—fragrant and flavorful.

Collins Family Orchards
Collins Family Orchards is a fourth gen-
eration family farm in Selah. Its focus is
the fruit, and it offers a huge selection of
the most delicious varieties. The Collins
family prides themselves on doing things
right—from planting to pruning to har-
vesting—to bring customers the best fruit
possible. For more than 100 years, Collins
Family Orchards has been producing fruit
with a-peel!
A locally-sourced Thanksgiving by Rachel Gough
The Bellevue Farmers Market runs on Saturdays
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until November 21 and is
located in Compass Plaza at 550 106th Ave NE.
Marni Sorin and Steve Gisel do almost everything on the farm by hand. From the planting of the first seeds to
the weeding of the seedlings they primarily use human power. • Photo courtesy of Boldbrook Farm.
Olsen Farms was started in the mid-90s by Brent Olsen. His mother Merna, wife Kira, and two young
daughters Nora and Lila, live and work alongside him at the farm. • Photo courtesy of Olsen Farms.

ed to making delightful desserts that taste
as delicious as they look from scratch us-
ing high quality ingredients. She has loved
baking in the kitchen since her youth,
and in 2014 she launched her own baking
company, Adrienne’s Cakes and Pies, after
working for many years baking and deco-

Britt’s Live Culture Foods
Britt’s Live Culture Foods are handmade
in wooden barrels on Whidbey Island.
Pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut, and other
seasonal products are naturally fermented
with locally-sourced vegetables whenever
possible. No sugar, no vinegar, no cook-
ing. Naturally fermented vegetables pro-
vide beneficial bacteria called probiotics
for the gut, and Britt’s products are packed
with flavor. Fermented foods are a great
accompaniment to holiday feasts.

Tieton Farm
and Creamery
Tieton Farm and Creamery cheeses
come from happy and pampered Katahdin
and East Friesian sheep—each of which
are known by name and lovingly cared
for. Tieton is committed to sustainable
farming and never uses any herbicides
or pesticides. Instead, the soil is built and
amended using composting techniques
and moving herds to new pastures every
three days. It’s more work, but it’s better
for the earth, better for the herd, and the
flavor makes it all worth it.

Wilridge Winery
Wilridge Winery was founded in 1988
by Paul Beveridge and is the oldest con-

Yakima, one of the closest vineyards to
Bellevue. From its award-winning limit-
ed-production estate wines to the more
available single vineyard varietals to the
Maison brand of house wines packaged in
refillable 1.5 liter bottles or kegs for wine
on tap, Wilridge strives to be the most sus-
tainable winery in Washington.

On average, across the world, men die six
years earlier than women. Moreover, poor
mental health affects men disproportion-
ately: Three quarters of suicides are com-
mitted by men. The World Health Orga-
nization estimates that 510,000 men die
from suicide globally each year. That’s one
every minute.
The impact of prostate and testicular
cancer on lives is substantial, with pros-
tate cancer being the second most com-
mon cancer in men worldwide, and the
number of cases is expected to almost
double to 1.7 million cases by 2030.
Close to Home
Cancer is a looming threat to every
firefighter. Multiple studies, including
the NIOSH cancer study, have repeat-
edly established biologic creditability for
statistically higher rates of multiple types
of cancers in firefighters compared to the
general American population, includ-
ing testicular and prostate cancers. This
problem, the challenges involved, and
the changes required in education, train-
ing, operations, medical screenings, and
personal accountability are immense, but
Movember is a great and stylish way for
the fire service to raise awareness.

Bellevue Firefighters raise
money for men’s health by
participating in Movember
During the month of November each
year, the fundraising effort known as Mo-
vember is responsible for the sprouting of
moustaches on thousands of men’s faces
in the U.S. and around the world. For the
fifth year in a row the Movember Fire-
fighters based in Bellevue, Kirkland, and
Seattle have joined this campaign. With
their mos (short for moustache) these
men raise vital funds and awareness for
men’s cancer initiatives as well as mental
and physical health initiatives.
Participants start November 1st clean
shaven, and for the rest of the month
these Mo Bros groom, trim, and wax their
way into the chronicles of fine moustach-
ery. With the support of their fire depart-
ments, the community, their friends, fam-
ily, and the women in their lives, known
as Mo Sistas, Movember Firefighters raise
funds by seeking out sponsorship for their
mo-growing efforts.
These firefighters will effectively become
walking, talking billboards during the
30 days of November. Through their ac-
tions and words they raise awareness by
prompting private and public conversa-
tion around the often ignored issue of
men’s health.
Why men’s health?
Gender is one of the strongest and most
consistent predictors of health and life ex-
pectancy. For men, this is not good news.
Bellevue Firefighters sport moustaches in November to raise awareness of cancers
that affect men's health. • Photo courtesy of the Bellevue Fire Department.

In the late 1920s, Bellevue’s Japanese
American farmers were, in the words of
one resident, producing “too much stuff”
to sell locally. Packing companies charged
such high prices for their services that the
farmers could not make a profit shipping
the surplus to other regions. The solution:
The farmers opened their own shipping
and packing company, the Bellevue Veg-
etable Growers’ Association (BVGA).
By 1933 the BVGA had enough capital
to build its own packing shed in Midlakes
“I was born and raised in Bellevue. It’s
changed a lot since I was a kid. It used to
be a bedroom community, a suburb of Se-
attle. There were no buildings taller than
ten stories, but that ordinance was repealed
in 1980 or so. Buildings started to go up
immediately. I remember when Bellevue
Square was an open air market. My mom
misses it because she could drive up and
park right in front of the store she needed
to go into. Bellevue’s grown up a lot. Micro-
soft has impacted the whole region. When
I grew up Bellevue was very largely Cauca-
sian. It was even the subject of jokes. Now
there’s a substantial minority population,
a lot of highly educated people who have
come to work for the tech companies. It’s
fascinating going to Crossroads Mall and
hearing six different languages. It’s a heck
of a lot more vibrant than it was.”
EN
Local farmers survive,
thrive, during Depression
next to the railroad tracks. The most com-
mon crops shipped were tomatoes, straw-
berries, peas, lettuce, and cabbage. At its
height, 60 families were members of the
BVGA, and they could package up to 50
boxcars of produce in the summer season.

“Everyone has a story that needs to come to
life,” said Grant Faulkner, Executive Director
of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoW-
riMo). “National Novel Writing Month is a
wonderful opportunity for people to dive into
theirimaginationsanddooneofthemostcru-
cial things in life: create.”
Retired baby boomer and Bellevue resident
Michele Genthon has a Ph.D. and enjoyed a
successful career in higher education manage-
ment with responsibilities for university fi-
nance,budgeting,computing,humanresourc-
es, facilities, and auxiliary business services.
Throughout her career she was a part-time
professor as well. She taught finance, research,
university administration, and computer
modeling to graduate students. Her favorite
teaching experiences, however, were creative.
“I led choruses, trained actors for singing
auditions, and taught music appreciation,”
Genthon said. “The creative bug was nour-
ished, but when my responsibilities at work
began to suck up my whole life, I found less
time for the arts. I wrote professionally during
mycareer:manuals,academicarticles,reports.
In finance, however, it is not a good idea to be
creative; one can get into trouble that way. So I
suppressed my creative urges.”
When Genthon retired she was deter-
mined to make up for lost time.
“I re-read the story I had written in sixth
grade about an abandoned greenhouse and
wondered where that imaginative girl had
gone,” she said.
In an effort to reclaim her creative side,
Genthon signed up for a writing course at
Bellevue College’s Continuing Education
Program. She began to write about Venetian
women and fell in love—with Venice and the
art of writing historical fiction. She was strug-
gling with her novel about the relationship
between Antonio Vivaldi and his star pupil,
Anna Maria dal Violin—she had written bits
and pieces but did not have a coherent sto-
ry—when she heard about NaNoWriMo.
National Novel Writing Month is an annu-
al novel writing project that brings together
professional and amateur writers from all
over the world. Every November, NaNo
hopefuls buckle down to write every day for
a total of 50,000 words. NaNoWriMo’s Come
Write In (CWI) program connects libraries,
bookstores, and other neighborhood spaces
with their local NaNoWriMo participants
(or Wrimos) to build vibrant writing com-
munities. Finishers earn a virtual trophy and
serious bragging rights, as well as the knowl-
edge that they’ve completed a first draft of a
novel in just 30 days.
Somepeopletakeitastepfarther.WhenLois
Brandt participated in NaNoWriMo for the
first time, she wrote a science fiction futuristic
dystopian young adult novel.
“It was so dark and weird,” she said.
“NaNoWriMo is freeing. i just allow myself to
explore stories that i’ve thought about.”
She noticed, however, that a lot of people
didn’t finish. So in 2008 the creative writ-
ing professor began offering a NaNoWriMo
class at Bellevue College called Write Your
Novel in a Month.
“I have a pretty high success rate,” Brandt
said. “We write together so I remember how
hard it is. It’s been a blast teaching this class.
It gives them water wings for the experience.”
It was this class that Genthon found to help
her finish her novel. Brandt “gave us the tools
to organize our work and a method for analyz-
ing what we had written so that we could then
revise our writing,” Genthon said.
Genthon “writes absolutely beautifully,”
Brandt said. “She was a really fun student to
have in class.”
Genthon finished her book, Child of the
Red Priest, and was a finalist in the Pacific
Northwest Writers Association (PNWA)
historical fiction contest.
“My first experience was so successful that I
participated in NaNoWriMo again for a book
on Elena Piscopia, the first woman in the
world to earn an academic degree,” Genthon
said. “I continue to write historical fiction but
amalsoworkingonaprojecttosavethestories
of women who were first to accomplish some-
thing only men had done before.”
Genthon’s ‘The First Woman To. . .Proj-
ect’ has resulted in a book proposal, and she
is currently searching for an agent. She has a
database of about 1,200 American women
who were First Women. She blogs about these
women at www.thefirstwomanto.com.
For anyone considering NaNoWriMo, Gen-
thon found that the practice of keeping track
of her words was motivating.
“If the number of words is low one week, I
am motivated to work harder the next week,”
she said. “For me the hardest part of writing
is silencing my Inner Critic. A perfection-

When keeping your home warm be-
comes a top priority, utility bills can get
pricey. Upgrades featuring new technolo-
gies and heating strategies can help lower
costs comfortably, and these changes of-
ten have the added benefit of making your
home more environmentally friendly.
Zone Heating
A central furnace cycles on and off sev-
eral times an hour, heating your entire
house, including unoccupied rooms. Sup-
plemental heating products, however, can
be targeted to warm only the living areas
that your family occupies most allowing
you to turn down the thermostat for the
central furnace. This practice can save up
to 40 percent off your heating bills, ac-
cording to a report from the American
Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.
It need not be a utilitarian space heater,
either. Consider alternative zone heating
tools, such as fireplaces, stoves, and fire-
place inserts, which look great and add
ambiance.
Wood Stoves
New innovations are making wood
stoves a more convenient way to stay warm
this winter. For example, the Quadra-Fire
Adventure II is the first wood stove that
maintains a room’s temperature via a
programmable thermostat and tells you
when to add more wood. Plus, its four-
point burn system produces intense roll-
ing flames for powerful and efficient heat,
so warming your home can be as simple
as loading the wood, lighting the fire, and
walking away—and it can reduce home
heating costs by up to 50 percent.
Unlike fossil fuels, wood is a renewable
energy source. Burning wood completes
the last step of the natural carbon cycle
of trees, resulting in a zero net carbon
impact on the environment. More infor-
mation about the benefits of heating your
home with wood stoves can be found at
www.quadrafire.com.
Annual Maintenance
Annual maintenance to your heating
system and home can ensure you get the
best bang for your utility buck. Have your
heating system serviced for optimal per-
formance. You can also change the filters
yourself and should do so periodically. Seal
drafts and ductwork so you don’t waste
warm air, and remember that not all weath-
erstripping lasts forever, so inspect doors
and windows and reapply if necessary.
With these tips, it’s possible to afford-
ably and comfortably heat your home
this season.

ist at heart, I easily succumb to revising my
work continuously, stuck in one place, not
moving forward. NaNoWriMo, because of
its demand for churning out words, is so in-
tense it silences the Inner Critic.
“I would definitely recommend NaNoW-
riMo to other writers, both novices and ex-
perienced writers,” Genthon continued. “It
helps get the words on the page. However, the
writer must understand that all she will have is
wordsonthepage.Theymustthenbeexpand-
ed, nourished, re-worked mercilessly, and
even thrown away if necessary. Completing
NaNoWriMo gives the writer the backbone of
a book. It will still need flesh, and blood, and
probably plastic surgery.”
These days Genthon is in a writing group,
continues to take classes and workshops with
other writers, and stays connected through
PNWA. Brandt still offers her class at Bel-
levue College. And right now, as you read this,
hundreds of thousands of would-be novelists
aroundtheworldaretappingawayattheirlap-
tops trying to bring their stories to life.
