the light-footed chaplain slips open a curtain and pokes his head into room

3306. his lips form a greeting, but before his first syllable is born, the patient snaps, “are you a doctor?”

Rich Weyls’ visit is unexpected. He begins to explain, but halfway through his response, the patient interrupts again with news of her mother’s recent death.

Soon the memories of her mother slide into the deepest traumas of her life, each more horrifying than the last. Forty min-utes pass, nurses scuttle in and out of the room, before she allows Weyls a moment to

speak. Taking her hand, he pushes past an array of bloodstained stories to ask about her present feelings.

She’s angry and sad. But why recall inci-dents buried by 40 years of life? Outside her

room, blips pass endlessly across a heart monitor screen. Hospitals can feel threaten-ing. She’s probably scared.

Positing to leave for the time, Weyls says, “Can I wish you health and peace?”

“Whatever you want,” her voice calm but careless.

“That’s what I want for you.”The tenderness in his answer finishes the

lesson. Her eyes tear – someone does care.

HEALinG THE SpiRiTChaplains have long had a place in

American hospital care, but in a modern scene the priests who once evangelized the sick and dying have since transformed into experts for the spiritually suffering. Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah is no exception. The presence of its chaplain is so crucial, the hospital’s accreditation required someone like Weyls to be on staff.

His worn leather shoes pass through the emergency room and in and out of inten-sive care all day long. The work is practi-cal for doctors, who tend to focus on the

Swedish Issaquah implements new bedside technology

Patients at Issaquah’s Swedish Medical Center can now get just about anything they need with a click of a remote control button.

The facility recently received a techno-logical upgrade with the installation of UpCare technology from Boston-based Aceso.

The system delivers medical informa-tion via television screens to the bedside of every patient. Remote control devices allow patients to gather condition-specific treat-ment information, order meals, choose dif-ferent entertainment options and purchase items from the hospital’s retail services.

“Aceso’s UpCare system is the ideal fit for Swedish’s Issaquah campus as we aim to provide patients with the most compas-sionate hospital experience available,” said Chuck Salmon, vice president of operations at Swedish/Issaquah.

Through its partnership with Seattle-based The Window Channel, Aceso’s tech-nology delivers ambient scenic images to the screen, bringing a calming atmosphere to the patient’s room.

New endoscopy center will soon open in Issaquah

The physicians of Eastside Endoscopy Center in Bellevue and Physicians En-doscopy will soon open a new two-room

endoscopic ambulatory surgery center in Issaquah.

The free-standing endoscopic ambula-tory surgery facility, which will be led by doctors Georgia Rees-Lui and Robert Wohlman, expects to serve approximately 2,200 patients in its first year of operation.

“Our staff at EEC is dedicated to providing the highest quality endoscopic services in a comfortable atmosphere,” Rees-Lui said.

The facility, located at 1401 4th Ave. NW, Suite 301, is the second facility owned by Eastside Endoscopy Center, LLC.

Relay for Life receives Awards for Cause in first quarter

Issaquah Trophy & Awards has selected Relay for Life as its recipient for its Awards for Cause program during the first quarter of 2012.

“We are in the business of recognition, and through this program we recognize organizations that help our communities,” Issaquah Trophy & Awards President, Jeff Anderson said.

Issaquah Trophy & Awards selects a re-cipient each quarter and donates a portion of its sales to its selected charity.

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

The recipient for the fourth quarter of 2011 was Eastside Baby Corner.

Issaquah Trophy and Awards has served Issaquah and surrounding communities since 1987. For more information on the Awards for a Cause program, contact Anne Hall at [email protected].

Experience Tea brings unique � avor to Issaquah

BY KEVIN [email protected]

Once a high-ranking national manager at a bank, Issaquah resident Roberta Fuhr took a bold step in 2008.

A� er watching her daughter graduate college and move to the East Coast for a job, Fuhr did some soul searching and decided to step down from her banking position.

“I was just really ready for a change — I was at that place where I needed a purpose,” she said.

A� er spending time exploring her interests, the recreational tea drinker started reading books about the intricacies of Camiella Sinensis — the species of plant whose buds are used to produce tea. She followed up by taking cer-ti� cation courses with the

Specialty Tea Institute. � at’s when her idea was

born. “I started Googling tea

classes because I thought, ‘Wow, I wonder if anybody teaches this,’” Fuhr said.

� e answer to her ques-tion was a resounding ‘no.’

“What was frustrating to me as I was getting more into tea, is how bad our in-dustry is in really teaching people what tea is,” she said.

She added that many specialty tea shops focus on things such as free WiFi, serving food and free ship-ping, while they keep their product behind counters.

Fuhr took a step towards changing that model in October 2011, when she opened Experience Tea on Issaquah’s Front Street. � e business sells a large variety of specialty teas and tea accessories, but its unique-

ness lies within its open tea studio concept.

Fuhr, who runs Experi-ence Tea on her own, holds a variety of tea discov-ery classes and tastings throughout the week. She teaches customers every-thing from the history of tea to how oxidation can make a di� erence in � avor, to the importance of steep-ing temperatures and times.

“� e way I look at it, I start them on a tea journey

because it really is a jour-ney,” said Fuhr, comparing the tea experience to that of wine and wine tasting.

In a basic tea-tasting class, Fuhr has customers sample the whole spectrum of teas. � ey start with one white, one green, two oolongs, two blacks and one pu’erh — an aged tea from southern China. In order to maintain an authentic experience, teas are served in a traditional gaiwan bowl on a gongfu serving table. Fuhr makes sure to use teas that are single origin in � avor so people experience the true taste.

“By the time people leave here they’re just excited,” Fuhr said. “It’s cool to learn something new. I think they have a real appreciation for the complexity of it and there’s so much more that they want to know.”

� ere are a large variety of other classes and work-shops, which range from $20-$25.

According to Fuhr, busi-ness continues to gain mo-mentum, largely by word of mouth.

“I walked out of there feeling more knowledgable and actually excited about tea,” Sammamish resident Jenny Schmidt said. “� is

is one of those rare places I couldn’t wait to tell friends about.”

Local customers make up a large portion of the clientele, but people have come from as far away as Gig Harbor to take classes.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” said Fuhr, who has lived in Issaquah for more than 22 years. “I just had this strong feeling that Issaquah is where it would be best.”

For all our readers who use our online calendar – help has ar-rived. � e Reporter has a new online calendar for the public to use.

It might seem strange that an online calendar would be a topic for an editorial, but people – lots of them – called and wrote us when our former calendar stopped working some weeks back.

� e problem has been � xed with the old calendar replaced by an entirely new system that o� ers users more options to get their events out to the public.

One of the best improvements is that people will NOT need to reg-ister for an account to use it. You just add events with a single form and a con� rmation email. Super easy.

Another new feature is that all of the event listings will be visible and promoted on all pages of our online site – not just the home page. And you’ll be able to add events the calendar to your personal online calendar (Google, Yahoo, iCal, Outlook, etc.). You’ll also be able to share events on social networks.

Finally, you will be able to target your calendar item to speci� c categories, newspapers and age groups.

Now for a couple of minuses.Current calendar events will NOT be imported to the new system.

� at means you’ll have to repost upcoming items.And all submitted items will have to be approved by the editor.

But don’t worry, approval should be very quick. I’ll get a daily email reminding me to check for new items. You should � nd your item online within 48 hours of when you entered it.

We love the online calendar and, like you, have been frustrated about it not working. � at problem now is over. Get those calendar items back online.

Do it yourselfOnce again, the state’s Democrat and Republican parties want

taxpayers to shell out for what essentially is a private issue – election of their party precinct committee o� cers.

Both have � led a lawsuit asking that the state be ordered to con-tinue conducting PCO elections as part of the Top 2 Primary ballot.

� e court should say “no.”� e Democratic Party and the Republican Party are private

associations. While the state has allowed the election of precinct committee o� cers to be put on ballots in the past, it doesn’t have to, according to a U.S. District Court ruling. And Secretary of State Sam Reed makes a good point that “county election o� ces do not conduct elections for other private associations, such as Rotary clubs, unions, or trade associations.

If political parties don’t like that, they can � nd a way di� erent from the Primary ballot – and at their own expense.

EDITORIAL

When the news broke, I didn’t recog-nize his name. It only took a second, however, to place his face.

In my four-plus years of covering sports in Sam-mamish, I probably saw him a hundred times. Whether stand-ing on the sideline or sitting in the stands, school resource of-fi cer Stan Chapin was a familiar fi xture at Eastlake High sporting events.

And from speaking to stu-dents, that wasn’t fl uke.

Chapin, who died unexpected-ly last week at his home, made it a point to not only be visible at

student events, he genuinely had an interest in the outcome.

“He would attend all the school events on his own time and that really showed us how much he truly cared,” 2010 EHS graduate Dylan Markley said.

Student after student echoed the sentiment last week in Eastlake’s hallways, sharing stories of a man they not only viewed as an authority fi gure, but a friend.

“He knew all the students by name,” senior Marlena Masterleo said. “If he didn’t know you’re name right away, he’d know it the next couple of times he’d talk to you.”

Chapin would sit at the entrance to the school in the morning, greeting every student with a wave and a smile. He did the same in the afternoon as they left.

During lunch, he walked around and talked with kids. If someone looked upset, he wasted no time reaching out to them.

He was also well-known for his sense of humor. YouTube searches for “Stan Chapin” bring up

videos of velociraptor impersonations and a skit at Inglewood where he dressed up in a wig and lip-synced Hannah Montana songs.

Of course there was a fi rm side. The near 40-year veteran of the King County Sheriff’s Offi ce was a father of three, a former detective, a veteran of the Seattle FBI’s Fugitive Apprehension Team and an U.S. Army reservist.

While his resource offi cer job required a certain sternness, he always maintained a balance — something students admired.

“He does (things) in such a way that you under-stand why he had to do what he had to do and you just respect it,” Masterleo said.

It was no mistake Sammamish Police Chief Nate Elledge assigned Chapin to his position.

“He was there because he genuinely cared about the kids,” Elledge said. “Because he wanted to see the kids succeed.”

While I never met him, it’s not hard to deter-mine offi cer Chapin was a rare gem. He was an authority fi gure who gained respect by showing respect — a philosophy most anyone could apply to not only make the community, but the world a better place.

Thank you for all your service, offi cer Chapin. You will be deeply missed.

Sammamish su� ers a great loss

Test pits dug out by developer Buchan Homes has resident’s in and around Sammamamish’s Chestnut Estates neigh-borhood up in arms.

Evan Maxim, senior planner for the city of Sammamish, said Chest-nut Estates, a 34-lot devel-opment on the east side of Ebright Creek, was a very controversial plat. Buchan started the process with Chestnut Estates in 1997 and it wasn’t approved until 2010.

Now, Buchan wants to develop 30 homes in Chestnut Estates West, 85 acres on the west side of Ebright Creek.

When Chestnut Estates was developed, 8.3 acres — known as Tract K — were set aside as “per-manent open space” as required by city code.

Recently, neighbors

reported that Buchan dug test holes and moved dirt around on Tract K, with-out a permit.

Greg Nelson, project manager for Buchan Homes, said the company was digging test holes to examine soils and ground water, required as part of the application for Chest-nut Estates West.

Buchan dug the test holes, however, without the required permit.

“They didn’t get a permit to do this, and they should have asked in advance,” Maxim said.

Even though it’s after the fact, Maxim said after reviewing the site, Buchan was asked to get a permit. They may be required to re-plant the area because Sammamish requires a permit for environmental exploration.

But the controversy doesn’t stop there.

The drawing for the new Chestnut Estates West

plat shows that Buchan is proposing to use portions of Tract K for eight and a half lots, five and a half of which would be located along the edge of Ebright Creek Canyon.

Nelson said adjustments or modifications of prop-erty lines is not uncom-mon. He said developing part of Tract K protects area streams better than the old plan.

“What’s being developed is not encumbered by critical areas,” Nelson said. “Our intention is to follow the regulations developed by the city, and we’re doing our best to follow them.”

Nelson said a new open space would be created on the more sensitive ravine around the creek. Maxim said it’s about six acres.

But property owner and longtime Sammamish resident, Walter Pereyra, said Buchan bulldozed a trail onto Tract K and bore test holes, contrary to city code.

Ebright Creek runs right through Pereyra’s property off East Lake Sammamish Parkway. Pereyra has re-tained environmental land

use attorneys, Aramburu and Eustis, to look into the situation.

“I’ve been very con-cerned about Ebright Creek,” Pereyra said. “It contains kokanee, which is an endangered species.”

Sammamish mayor Tom Odell said Chest-nut Estates West will be

reviewed by community development director Kamuron Gurol. An ap-peal could go to a hearing examiner, after which it is still appealable in the court system.

Odell said one of the questions is whether Buchan can switch the reserve or open space to

another area. “I’m not saying what

they’re going to do,” Maxim said. “I don’t know if what Buchan is propos-ing is going to work.”

It is fitting that a month which includes Valentine’s Day should also be American Heart Month. February is a month when we should consider not only the love in our hearts but also the health of our hearts. That’s one reason why QFC is proud to support the American Heart Association and “Go Red For Women.”

“Go Red For Women” was created by the American Heart Association in 2004 to call attention to the fact that heart disease is not just a disease for older men. As noted on its website, “More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined.” In fact, in the year in which “Go Red For Women” was created, cardiovascular disease was killing nearly a half-million women in the U.S. annually. Funds raised for the “Go Red For Women” are used to support awareness, scientific research, education and community programs to benefit women. The AHA “Go Red For Women” website reports that “over 2 million women have learned their personal risk of developing heart disease by taking the Go Red Heart CheckUp,” and “over 200,000 healthcare provider offices have received critical patient information on women and heart disease.”

If you would like to support QFC’s charity of the month you can do so by asking your QFC checker to scan a $1, $5, or $10 donation card, designate that your 3-cent reusable bag credit be donated or simply place your extra change in our coin boxes.

At QFC we believe that everyone’s health is important and during 2012 we are actively encouraging our associates to make choices to lead healthier lifestyles. One of the ways we are doing that in 2012 is by offering our associates several walking challenges. Walking is a great low-impact form of exercise that can provide a host of great benefits. Studies have shown that walking can strengthen men and women’s hearts to decrease the risk or occurrence of cardiac events. It has also been associated with stronger bones, a slower decline in cognitive ability, reduced risk of developing diabetes, improved fitness and physical function and more!

Walking is a form of exercise that most people are able to engage in even if they must start with short sessions. As the body adapts and responds to regular exercise, most people are able

to increase their time and/or level of intensity. The Surgeon General recommends 30 minutes or more of accumulated moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days per week to improve health and fitness. As with any exercise program, it is important to consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

Our current walking challenge began on January 23 and is 10 weeks long. Our associates are being encouraged to sign up to declare a personal goal for the 10-week program and then develop their own walking commitment to get

there. If they sign up for 300,000 steps, this would translate to 30,000 steps a week, or 6,000 steps a day for five days per week. 6000 steps would translate to about a 3-mile walk. Associates may change their goals at any time during the challenge. If you would like to embrace a healthier lifestyle, you might consider creating your own walking challenge. And to learn more about heart health visit the websites of the American Heart Association and Go Red For Women.

CelebrateValentine’s Day

Making � e Day More Memorable(NAPSI)—Valentine’s Day is about celebrating the relationship you are in: long term, short

term and even friendships.� at’s the word from Matt Titus, dating coach and gifting expert at � eGift.com. To help

make this Valentine’s Day one to remember, he o� ers the following tips:Make Her Feel Beautiful—Gorgeous red roses and little gifts that speak to their personality or

interests can go a long way. For example, nail polish and lipstick are very popular right now and are very a� ordable.

Spend Time Alone—It’s not uncommon for couples to struggle to � nd time to enjoy each other’s company. “Remember,” says Titus, “a couple must retain some degree of independence from their children to maintain an emotional bond.”

Wow Her—Go the extra mile. For example, according to a survey conducted by Wake� eld on behalf of 1-800-Flowers.com, of the 1,000 women surveyed, over 40 percent (42 percent) of respondents said they would be satis� ed if their signi� cant others cooked them a romantic dinner—provided they cleaned up the kitchen after they cooked.

Little extras, such as having a thoughtful message engraved in a bracelet or ring, can also express your a� ection and turn a gift into a keepsake.

� e city of Issaquah is embarking on a year of economic development, or so it hopes.

While Mayor Ava Frisinger assembles a new department, which would focus on luring new businesses to town, City Council matched her vision by approving new plans to start an Economic Vitality Commission.

� e idea is to get more business leaders involved with improving the city’s business environment and

dedicating more city sta� to making those changes happen.

Frisinger set economic development as the focus for the year in her annual address Monday. � e mayor typically only gives two speeches at City Hall, the second when she delivers the budget.

As development in Talus and the Highlands winds down, the city is turning its resources to redeveloping the valley � oor. � e changes represent a pivotal moment

in its history, Frisinger said in her speech.

City Council already set the stage for plan-ning in December, when it approved Skip Rowley’s development agreement. His storage units and o� ce parks make up the core of the valley � oor.

By summer, council hopes to be voting the Central Issaquah Plan, a vision-casting document that would guide redevel-opment for the rest of the valley � oor.

While action for the mayor’s new department

was encouraged by a recent Moss Adams report, City Council � rst planned for its commission during a goal

setting retreat in May 2011.A part of that particular

goal was to improve signage rules. Business owners have

complained about how the rigid regulations have made it di� cult to mark their location much less attract new customers.

In addition to setting a business tone for the year, Frisinger laid out a number of successes including the opening of Swedish Hospital.

She also explained how her sta� ’s ability to rush plans for the YWCA’s Fam-ily Village in Issaquah made the low-income project possible.

“We were nimble enough to make it happen,” she said.

BY JOSH [email protected]

Brooke Wales is a 2009 graduate of Eastside Catholic and product of the Mission Ridge Ski Educa-tion Foundation, which she joined at age 9.

In 2011, Wales became a member of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team, realizing her lifelong dream of repre-senting her country on the International stage.

Currently in Colorado for a competition, Wales took some time to chat with the Reporter about her start in skiing, traveling the world before age 21 and putting on the red, white and blue.

Q What is your � rst memory of skiing?

A Brook Wales: I started skiing when

I was four. My parents put me in lessons.

Q Did you always like it, or was it a kicking and

screaming situation?

A It was something that grew on me. I started

racing when I was nine and I was really bad at it at � rst, I wasn’t a phenom by any standards.

Q So when did you start to come into your own

as a skier?

A When I was 14 I started to get faster

and get pretty good at it and that was when I really decided I liked the sport and wanted to pursue it. As I went on the next couple years I realized it would be realistic to make the USA Ski Team.

Q I Saw a video of you from a recent compe-

tition…

A Crashing?

Q So you saw it too?

A � at was in Austria at the World Cup. I was

skiing pretty well and really going for it the whole way down and I hit a bump and my right ski caught and spun me around.

Q How scary is it when you crash at that high

of a speed?

A I had a little moment of panic when I was

� ying backwards at high speeds but it turned out to be OK and rashes hap-pen in ski racing. I was bummed that I crashed but lucky that I was OK and

everything. I just took away from it that I was skiing well up to that point.

Q What is the worst injury you have ever

su� ered on the mountain?

A I’ve been very lucky in my career up until

now. � e worst thing I’ve done is a couple years ago I straddled a gate and got a massive bone bruise on my shin. It was basically just a huge gnarly bruise and I couldn’t race for two weeks. Other than that I’ve been pretty lucky.

Q Where are the best views from the top of

a mountain?

A One is up in Vance in Lake Louise Canada in

Alberta. � at is the North-ern Rockies and it’s abso-lutely gorgeous up there if you get a clear day. � e other would be in Europe in the Swiss Alps…a pretty amazing site.

Q What is it like to travel around the

world at your age?

A It’s really cool. I’m very lucky to be able to do

this and travel as much as I have. If they have it’s be-cause they were on a study abroad trip for a semester. It’s really cool because I’ve been all over wherever there are mountains, in

Canada, Europe and down to South America to Chile for training in the fall. It’s not something most people get to do. It’s cool to be able to have these stories and say I have seen these cultures and places.

Q What is the toughest part about life on the

circuit?

A � e tough part is de� -nitely talking to people

and that’s something that’s really key for me. When I’m out of the country I’m always trying to � nd Inter-net, which can be di� cult, so I can Skype with family and friends, who can make me feel more comfort-able or not get homesick. Obviously when you’re in Europe for a month, you’re going to miss an American hamburger. � ey don’t have peanut butter there so this year I brought some. It’s just about adjusting to things and learning what keeps you comfortable when you’re gone for so long. I would probably say going over to Europe the � rst couple times and still when I go there is kind of a culture shock because it’s so di� erent. You have the language barrier, but there is also the look of the

buildings. � e way things are run there is completely di� erent. � e hotels we stay in are not even close to what we would consider a hotel over here. It’s usually small rooms, sharing a bed with someone, and there is not much space for the two du� e bags and clothing.

Q What is it like to have a chance to represent

for the United States in competition?

A It’s amazing. One of the most exciting

points for me was when we got our uniforms in the fall. It was a really exciting experience for me to realize that dream of being on the USA Ski Team was really happening. It’s a lot more real when you go out of the country. When you go to Europe and you’re with � ve girls from America along with Germans and Italians and French people. It’s a really cool experience an something I’ll always trea-sure and look back on nd be very grateful and happy.

Q When will we see Brooke Wales in the

Olympics?

A Hopefully in 2014.

REPORTER Q/A | Olympic hopeful and Eastside Catholic grad Brooke Wales

Bothell 63 Skyline 60

� e Cougars held on down the stretch to beat the top-seeded Spartans behind a game high 27 points from Zach LaVine and 19 more from Perrion Callandret to advance to the 4A KingCo tournament semi-� nals.

Skyline, which got 20 from guard Will Parker and 16 more from Lucas Shannon, will face Roosevelt in a loser-out game at 4:45 p.m., at the Juanita � eld house on Friday, Feb. 10.

� e loss drastically alters the state tournament prospects for Skyline, which now must win four consecutive loser-out games to advance to the regional round.

Eastside Catholic 83 Chief Sealth 65

Joey Schreiber scored a game high 27 points and Austin Soukup added 24 more to li� EC past the Seahawks and into the next round of the Metro League tournament con-solation bracket, securing one of Metro’s seven berths to the SeaKing District tournament in the process.

Issaquah 49, Roosevelt 38

� e Eagles withstood a � rst quarter de� cit and 21 points from Roosevelt’s Joe Knight to pick up the win and advance to the 4A KingCo tournament semi-� nals against Bothell.

Nick Price led Issaquah with 12 and Brian Watson � n-ished with 10 points in the win over the Roughriders.

A win in the semis will lock up one of the conference’s three berths to regionals for the Eagles while a loss will send them to a loser’s bracket game against the winner of another game between Ballard and Newport.

Area boys basketball teams begin postseason tournaments

physical needs � rst. He also helps calm patients and families who sometimes over-whelm hospital sta� .

Weyls was sipping co� ee in the cafete-ria, when a page came across a speaker around his neck. An anxious nurse asked for help. Family had been trickling in all day to be with an elderly woman on life support, and it reached a climax.

He assured the nurse he would come by again. It was the big crisis of the day, he said, tossing his empty cup into trash.

Once a doctor delivers the bad news about a patient, Weyls is o� en called upon to help families work through their deci-sions about life support.

Physicians take as many questions as they can answer, but when it comes to sorting through the meaning of life, he’s the resident expert.

Chaplains are not just for the dead. � ey help � gure out the other aspects

of a person’s life that are being impacted by illness, said Dr. Janice Connolly, who worked with Rich for a few years in Swed-ish’s Palliative Care.

� ere was once a man under Connolly’s care who wasn’t on good speaking terms with a child. No one thought he’d talk to a chaplain, but Weyls worked with him to bring healing to the relationship, she said.

“With the grace of Rich, he was able to unload some of his pain,” she said. “I think it was really powerful.”

PASTOR TO THE FAITHLESSJulita Fitzgerald’s frail body was buried

beneath a mound of blankets, when her voice elevated just above a whisper to tell Weyls about her nightly prayers.

Since learning about the cancer, the Catholic had taken to reciting “Our Father” and three “Hail Mary” prayers nightly.

Weyls set down a thin book on the bed. A few letters had rubbed o� the gold-foiled title, Ministry with the Sick, where he clasped it in his hands.

A Roman Catholic priest for most of his 25-year career, Weyls has since been or-dained in the Episcopalian Church, which maintains many of the same trappings and prayers of Catholicism.

� e prayers were well known to him, so placing a light hand on her head, he led her in reciting them. His eyes were closed beneath thin glasses while she worked the words from her chest.

Later he would contact a parish and have a priest sent to her home to deliver holy communion. No longer a Catho-lic, he couldn’t perform the rite.

He had to stay true to his new faith.� e Swedish network has 10 sta� ed chaplains, including

a Rabbi and a Buddhist. Like Weyls, they see people from all faith backgrounds. It’s considered unethical for a profes-sional chaplain to proselytize or try to in� uence people’s spiritual beliefs or medical decisions.

Most people in this region don’t come with any particu-

lar convictions, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t have life questions, said Becca Parkins, manager of Swedish’s spiritual care.

� ose facing death can ask profound life questions. � e most common is whether or not their life made a di� er-ence, Weyls said.

Like a counselor, he’ll help them unpack an answer, but never give one himself.

“I don’t let the question of religion ever get in the way of spiritual care,” he said. “I want them to do whatever they need to do to � nd peace.”

THE CALLWeyls � rst felt the call from God to become a priest

when he was 14 years old, but he didn’t embrace it until his grandmother’s passing over a decade later.

A Catholic priest ministered to her faithfully during her last days and was able to reconcile her with the church. When she died, he performed the funeral.

� e priest’s kindness opened Weyls up to the call he had once run from, and at 27 he enrolled in seminary.

“I � nally had the courage to respond.”As soon as he began working as a priest,

he stepped into volunteer chaplain rolls at a hospital. He had once been accepted into medical school, but chose instead to accept a full scholarship to study labor economics. He never stuck with econom-ics, but he never let go of his interest in medicine.

In 2006, he le� Roman Catholicism over doctrinal di� erences and embraced the Episcopalian church. � eologically liberal, he believes there are many paths to God. His is Jesus.

“I believe in Hell,” he said, “but I don’t know if anyone is there.”

Admittedly his beliefs about spirituality limit his temptation to proselytize his patients, but chap-lains from conservative theologies manage to uphold the same ethics, he said.

For religious leaders, chaplaincy can be much more sat-isfying work, because it focuses almost entirely on building relationships with people, said Parkins from spiritual care.

“It’s in those moments in despairing that we really look to help from God or how we experience a higher power,” she said. “It’s in those moments in crisis that we � nd con-nection or peace or faith.”

Rich Weyls is the chaplain at Issaquah’s Swedish Medical Center. An expert in spiritual care, he is treated as a member of the hospital team. He’s pictured in the hospital’s chapel, a serene place to meditate. CELESTE GRACEY, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Quali� cations for professional chaplains are almost as much work as becoming a physician. The profes-sion has a few di� erent certi� cation groups, including specialized ones for Jews and Catholics.

Eastside Fire and Rescue received high marks during its most recent annual � nancial audit.

� e group has been receiving an “exemplary” record since state auditors began the practice in 1999, according to a press release.

“I am proud of the work done primarily by the people who are assigned to the Finance Division, but the rec-ognition certainly extends to all who are responsible for spending dollars, managing assets and following the Board policies,” said Fire Chief Lee Soptich.

The following information was compiled from city of Issaquah and Sammamish police reports:

Guns stolenA new Sammamish

resident was greeted with a rude surprise Jan. 23.

The home owner on the 1000 block of 227th Avenue Northeast, who had just moved to the area at the end of December, had two guns stolen from his

bedroom closet. The thieves removed a Bushmaster as-sault rifle with a 20-round clip and a Marlin 22M magnum rifle.

There were no signs of forced entry, but the garage doors were left unsecured.

Bad neighborsSomeone called police

after his neighbor’s guest urinated off the top balcony on Front Street South in Issaquah. The neighbor told police he had a friend over,

and kicked him out of the apartment after the display Jan. 4.

domestic disturbance

A mother in the 20000 block of Northeast 19th Place in Sammamish reported that her adult son punched three holes in his bedroom wall Dec. 30 after he accused of her

of “nagging” him to go out and find a job. The son re-sponded by saying he took medicine for his back pain which makes him tired and that it prevented him from finding work. The mother told her son to stop taking the medication because it was bad for him. He responded by storming out of the home. Police were unable to find him.

Mailbox smashedA home owner in the

21000 block of Southeast 16th Place in Sammamish reported someone smashed the mailbox of his rental home sometime in the early hours of Jan. 5. The box was still attached to a broken post and it was bent. The home owner was convinced the mailbox was singled out.
