BY LINDA BALLISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It’s easier to engage high school kids in learning if they can relate to what they are being taught

— to the real world. Or in the case of the new forensic science class at Issaquah High School, the TV world, as in “CSI.”

� is fall, science teacher Tricia Vannoy, started teaching forensic science, which she said is designed for every student — those who excel in science and math, or those who are struggling — because of the intense inter-est of the class.

“Everyone likes a good mystery,” Vannoy said. She said the class focuses on the science, not the morbid aspects of forensics.

� e program was the brainchild of depart-ment head Linda Sorenson and Skyline High School teacher Ty Swi� ney.

With two grants — one from the PTSA and one from the Issaquah Schools Foundation — Vannoy was able to buy forensic kits for all the students, who number about 95, and are taking the class. Most are juniors or seniors, but she does have a few sophomores taking the course, like Amanda Fawcett.

“I’ve always been interested in forensic sci-

ence, and I love writing true-crime stories, so I wanted to learn more about it,” Fawcett said.

Right now the students are studying and analyzing glass fragments from a make-believe crime scene. One set of fragments are from the suspect’s shoes. � e challenge is to � gure out if those fragments match those found at the crime scene.

� e glass fragments are measured for density. � en di� erent tests are done in lab to check the refractive index.

Vannoy said as the class progresses they will be working with blood splatters and doing blood typing, where her class might

buddy up with the physics class because so much math is involved.

Senior Justin Kim wants to pursue a career that involves science. His favorite class is chemistry and there is plenty of chemistry involved in the forensics class because the stu-dents use various chemicals to test evidence.

� e kits also include the tools they need to look at gunshot residue. When the students study toxology they will learn about tech-niques involved in drug testing — and no, they won’t be drug testing each other.

� ose looking for drama in local elections Tuesday night were likely disappointed — at least on the Legislative side.

A� er the � rst wave of results, Dem-ocrat Mark Mullet carried a comfort-able lead over Republican Brad To� in the District 5 race for State Senate. � e latest results before � e Reporter’s deadline had Mullet lead-ing with 53.75 percent of the vote, to To� ’s 46.1 percent.

Also in the 5th Dis-trict, Chad Magendaz (R) held on to a 10 point margin over opponent David Spring (D) for Posi-tion 2. In the latest results, Magendaz, a former Issaquah School Board president, led with 55.1 percent of the vote to Spring’s 44.8 percent.

In the 45th District, Roger Goodman (D) held a comfort-able lead over Joel Hussey (R) for Position 1. Goodman col-lected 55.99 percent to Hussey’s 43.93.

Larry Springer (D) also held a comfortable lead for Position 2, carrying 57.04 percent of the vote, to Jim � atcher’s 42.87.

� e most tightly contest local race was the City of Sammamish’s Proposition 1 vote to gauge public interest on a Community and Aquatic Center. � e latest results have 51.22 percent in favor and 48.77 percent against.

For more on all the local races, turn to page 8 and 9.

The beauty of this class Vannoy said, it that the students are so engaged.

“It’s fun doing forensics because people really do this,” said senior Jennifer Duff.

Vannoy said the students were eager to figure out who made the threat at Sky-line High School last month when a 16-year-old male

said he would come to the school with an automatic weapon and open fire in the commons area. Their inner CSI beckoned them to solve the mystery.

“I’ve always loved CSI and Criminal Minds,” said senior Kenna Buchberger, adding that business was also an option, in case she doesn’t decide to become a crime scene investigator.

Charities benefit from food drives

Sammamish residents came through in a big way during the Eastside Mayors Month of Con-cern. They raised 22,868 pounds of food for local charities from Sept. 15 to Oct. 13.

Contributors included the Sammamish Safeway, Pine Lake QFC, Klah-anie QFC, TLC Acad-emy, Lucky Jacks’ Latte, Plateau Wellness, LDS Issaquah (Wards 2, 3, 6), the Eastlake High School cheerleaders and Rachel Carson Elementary.

City employees Melonie Anderson, Dawn Sanders, Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell and several other city volunteers.

Sammamish second wealthiest

A recently released U.S. Census Bureau report lists Sammamish as the second wealthiest city in Washington with a median family income of $141,712.

The statistics were representative of income by family group, not household, meaning they represent the income of a family with equal num-

bers of families making more and less than it.

Only Mercer Island ($146,476) was higher.

Issaquah ($112,558) was sixth on the list, behind Redmond ($114,330), Bainbridge Island ($118,949) and Cottage Lake ($130,795).

The median family in-come in the United States is $62,735, according to the most recent Ameri-can Community Survey results.

More information on the survey, including the research methods and a fact sheet, is available at www.census.gov.

Board openings available

Sammamish has put out a call for public-spirited residents who may want to serve as volunteers on several boards and com-missions.

Appointments are available on the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Arts Commission and Beaver Lake Management District Advisory Board.

“The people who serve on these commissions and boards provide an invaluable service to our

community,” said City Manager Ben Yazici. “They bring expertise and energy from all walks of life, and really broaden the city’s intellectual resources.”

For more information, go to the city website, www.ci.sammamish.wa.us, and click on the “Advisory Boards” tab, or contact City Clerk Melonie Anderson (425-295-0511, [email protected]).

The deadline for sub-mitting an application is Dec. 28.

Humane Society sets feline day

Low-income cat owners can have their pets fixed for a reduced cost Nov. 27. The Seattle Humane Society’s Feline Fix Day will offer $10 male cat neu-ters, $25 female cat spays, $5 microchipping and $5 FVRCP vaccinations.

Appointments are required. To qualify for an appointment, cat owners must have an income that is less than 80 percent of the median family income in their county.

More details are avail-able by calling the Humane Society at 425-641-0080.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is fi lled by what you see: mountains on every horizon—rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts. Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky. Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defi es description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because fi nding it brings a fortune in fun. You’ll know that after your fi rst run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one? Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering. Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and off -piste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt. Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also fi nd friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food. Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that fi rst turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold. SKI IT TO BELIEVE IT.com

Humorist Will Rogers once noted that “politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.” If he could only

see it now.Estimates put the cost of the recent presidential

race at $2.6 billion. � at means one side spent more than $1 billion only to lose. We’d hope there was a les-son there – but we doubt it.

If the public were to believe the unending direct mail pieces � ooding mailboxes, countless robo-calls, and an unconscionable number of vile “hit pieces” on television, they would conclude that the best candi-date for the job should have been “none of the above.” We suspect many people were sick of the whole thing weeks before Nov. 6.

� e blame for a lot of this falls on the “super PACs,” collections of groups outside a politician’s direct campaign that are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. � e situation actually is worse since many groups don’t have to register with the Federal Election Commission because they say they are focusing on “educational,” not “political” activities. We’re calling – well, you know – on that.

� is money-grubbing situation isn’t limited to the presidential race. � e cost of political campaigns nationwide is estimated to be $6 million. In our state alone, the race for governor is expected to reach a total cost of $46 million.

Despite this national e� ort, many voters say they don’t expect things to change much regardless of who is elected president.

We may not get the “best candidate that money can buy,” but we’re certainly going to get one who is ridiculously expensive.

Last week, the Bellevue Reporter came out in support of Referendum 74, a ballot measure regarding the legaliza-

tion of marriage for same sex couples in Washington state. For me, it was a simple

decision. I voted to ap-prove Referendum 74, and I couldn’t be more proud than to work for a paper that felt the same way.

On Tuesday, the state of Washington - and three other states - came to the same conclusion:

“Washington voters sent a resounding mes-sage that nothing less

than marriage is full equality for gay and lesbian couples. � is victory rounds out a landslide sweep of all four marriage ballot measures this November.”

Now I know this was a touchy issue for many – as I’ve seen the “Reject 74” protes-tors on my way to work every morning for the past month. And I understand some people feel that being gay is “wrong.” But that’s a whole other issue.

For me, this is equal rights we are talking about. In my opinion, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness – in

whatever form that may take. Some argue the word “marriage” is de-

� ned as a relationship between a man and a woman, and as such, you can’t rede� ne it. I say, why not? � ings change, societies evolve, and the right to marry – along with the privileges it grants – should be appli-cable to all.

Another argument I’ve been hearing get thrown around is that “everything but mar-riage” is enough. It’s not.

By saying that gay people can everything BUT - you’re implying that they are not worthy. You are saying they are not equal. You are saying they are second class citi-zens. THAT, my friends, is not OK.

If you were one of the people who decided to vote to reject this measure, I respect your right to make your own deci-sion. However, I fail to see how someone else’s personal relationship is any of your business. If you don’t like gay marriage, then don’t get gay married.

On Tuesday Washington stood up for what is right: acceptance, equality and love. And that is something to celebrate.

Part of QFC’s mission has always been to “sell the highest quality foods at sur-prisingly affordable prices.” Quality is so important that it’s part of our name, Quality Food Centers. Because quality is so important to us, we put a great deal of emphasis on stocking our stores cor-rectly. We try to order enough product to meet our customers’ demand, but not so much that it remains on our shelves past its prime. But sometimes we order more fresh products than we can sell. When that happens and we find ourselves with food that is perfectly safe and healthful to eat, but which no longer meets our stan-dards for freshness and quality, we have a plan and a partnership in place to provide this nutritious food to hungry people in our communities.

QFC has built partnerships with Food Lifeline and the Oregon Food Bank to donate this perishable food to local food banks. Not a lot of people know this, but products that have gone past our date for quality and freshness still have a couple of

days or several days in which they can be safely consumed. Perishable products that we donate include meat, produce, dairy, bakery and deli products. Togeth-er Food Lifeline and Oregon Good Bank support over 1,000 local food banks and hot meal programs in Western Wash-ington and Oregon. They are able to determine which of our donated foods can go to food banks or need to be used right away at meal programs, such as at shelters.

Thanks to Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank, their member agencies re-ceive this nutritious food that they then supply to hungry people in our commu-nities. Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank provide program support and train-ing to their respective networks to ensure that the partner agencies can concentrate on getting food to the hungry people who need it most.

In addition to the Perishable Dona-tions Partnership which QFC supports throughout the year, during the holidays

QFC also supports the work of Food Lifeline and Oregon Food Bank through Bringing Hope To the Table. This spe-cial two-month food and cash donation drive helps assure that hungry people and families have good, nutritious food dur-ing the holiday season and through the winter and spring months.

Michael Cecil was only 5-years-old when his moth-er, Sheila, was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma — a peripheral nerve sheath tumor — a form of cancer of the connective tissue sur-rounding nerves.

Now a 17-year-old senior at Issaquah High School, he’s really only known his mom as a cancer patient. Sheila’s tumor was origi-nally in her nasal passages, so she had to have brain surgery. The event that triggered her to go to the doctor, was a nose bleed that wouldn’t stop.

Now Sheila is cancer free although still dealing with maintenance. Sadly, her sister, Peggy, Michael’s God-mother, is now battling stage four breast cancer. This in a family with no history of cancer. Even more mysteri-ous, both Sheila and Peggy were diagnosed at age 39.

“When I was diagnosed, he had said if something happens to me, aunt Peggy will be like my mom,” Shei-la said. Then he wondered what would happen if both were gone? “The best thing for the kids (Michael’s older siblings, Jackie, 21, and

Andy, 23) is to realize there is hope although there’s a lot of sadness with cancer.”

That’s why Michael has been involved with Ameri-can Cancer Society’s Relay for Life - raising $12,000 for his team last year. He has been involved for several years, raising money with fundraisers such as a game night, or talking to folks waiting in line for the ferry.

Sheila said Michael and his co-captain, Ryan Fukuda along with Mary Lou and Karl Pauley, also organize a benefit dinner/fundraiser each year at Gibson Hall, which is their biggest fundraising event.

“He doesn’t have any problems speaking in front of people,” Sheila said of her youngest son.

Although the ACS Relay for Life isn’t until spring, the Relay for Life, Issaquah, is calling on volunteers and teams to rally now.

Wednesday, Nov. 14, there will be a 2013 Relay Fall Kick-Off Open House at Gibson Hall, 105 New-port Way, SW at 6:30 p.m.

Aimee Martin, Commu-nity Relationship Manager for ACS, said the Issaquah Relay is its largest fundrais-er in King County, gross-ing more than $200,000

annually.It started with just four

teams in 1999 at the Is-saquah High School track.

Martin said most of the money raised in the 2013 event will fund Cancer Prevention Study Three, which will monitor a group of people for 20 to 30 years.

The study is focused on lifestyle choices. It will look at what the volunteers eat, if they exercise or if they have children. To be part of the study you must be between the ages of 30 and 65 and have not had cancer. Family history of cancer is not a factor.

Funds will also be di-rected to research, salaries for patient navigators, fund-ing for rides to the doctor

for patients and for the Reach to Recovery pro-gram where former cancer patients mentor newly diagnosed patients, helping them through the labyrinth of cancer treatment.

Martin said ACS has funded 46 researchers who have won individual Nobel Prizes in scientific research.

Each relayer is expected to raise at least $100 in order to stay on the track and stay overnight.

“I am truly proud of Michael, Jackie and Andy,” Sheila said. “They always wanted to do something to make my cancer go away.”

For now anyway, a 1 percent increase in property taxes is off the table for the City of Issaquah in the 2013 proposed budget. The increase would have raised a total of $69,700 or $4.75 a year on a $400,000 home.

At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting Nov. 5, deputy finance director Diane Marcotte said that property taxes represent 32 percent of the city’s total tax revenue. The remainder comes from sales, utility and business and occupation taxes. Of the property tax, 64 percent goes to fund schools.

Settling on the property tax issue was one of the last pieces of the puzzle in putting together the city’s 2013 budget. After a proposal not to increase property taxes by councilman Fred Butler, which was seconded by Mark Mullet, the council voted unanimously against the increase.

Marcotte said assessed valuations on property are estimated to go up 4 percent next year. The total as-sessed valuation for all real property in Issaquah now is $6,230,929,938.

Marcotte said there are biding wars going on in real estate transactions, pointing to rising values.

This council vote directs Mayor Ava Frisinger to approve the 2013 budget with no property tax increase. The council will look at the entire budget at the Nov. 19 council meeting, which also will be the final meeting for a public hearing on the budget.

Butler said it is possible the budget will be approved at the Dec. 3 meeting.

Pizza has been good to Joe Fugere. So when he found an opportunity to use his famous pies to give something back, he jumped at it.

Fugere heard stories throughout his childhood from his grandmother, an Italian immigrant, about the unmistakable � avors of classic Neapolitan pizza - San Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt - and knew from her passionate tones the meaning went deeper than the crust and toppings.

“I always remembered what my grandmother said,” Fugere said. “I wanted to � nd out what she meant by au-thentic Neapolitan pizza.”

When he le� his position at Starbucks, he knew he wanted to start his own business and create something that represented not only the Seattle area, but his deeply ingrained Italian heritage.

� e result was Tutta Bella. Fugere never imagined his plan would extend beyond

one location, but as word spread around Seattle and the Eastside about the area’s � rst certi� ed authentic Neapolitan pizzeria, expansion became inevitable. Today, Tutta Bella has locations in Issaquah and three places in Seattle.

While � lling neighborhoods with the trademark smells of a wood-� red oven and carefully cra� ed ingredients was no doubt a dream come true, Fugere knew there had to be even more possibilities to integrate his business into the communi-ties it served. When he was asked to give the keynote speech at the 2010 International Pizza Expo, which brings independent pizzerias from around the world together to share insights and examine industry advancements, Fugere knew it was the right time to launch his plan.

“I wanted to add something meaningful to my speech,” he said. “We decided to rally around a cause that has touched most Americans, breast cancer.”

� e original plan was to partner with Susan G. Komen and its Quest for Cure, but complications with the agency

grounded that plan prematurely. Without an established network to fundraise and build connections, Fugere and his two partners, Pizza Today editor-in-chief Jeremy White and industry equipment supplier Garrett Mullen, decided they would have to go it alone.

Mullen’s wife passed away in 2010 a� er a four-year battle with breast cancer and in her honor, the three men created the Karen Mullen Breast Cancer Foundation and its signa-ture fundraiser, Slice of Hope.

Similar to the nationwide restaurant campaign Dine Out for Life, Slice of Hope gave patrons at Tutta Bella the option of making a donation on their guest check that Fugere and Mullen each matched dollar-for-dollar for the month prior to the main fundraiser for the inaugural event last year.

� at led to one day when Tutta Bella, and the more than 100 pizzerias around the nation that joined in the event, donated 20 percent of sales to Slice of Hope.

“It’s all about building money so we can write checks directly to the researchers,” Fugere said, noting that Slice

of Hope is dedicated to research funding over awareness campaigns. “I’d love for this to become a citywide and even countrywide e� ort.”

� ey repeated the e� ort this year and while the � nal � gures are not in, Fugere said they hope to come in around $150,000, or double the amount from 2011.

“You hear the stories and realize how many people have family and friends a� ected by this disease,” he said. “I think there is so much opportunity to get more and more people involved.”

After the first round of voter returns, the most hotly de-bated topic in Sammamish was, and still is too close to call.

Residents are nearly split down the middle on Propo-sition 1 — the non-binding advisory vote that used as a gauge by the city council on whether or not to move forward with the development of a $30 million Commu-nity and Aquatic Center.

The ‘yes’ side is holding a narrow 359-vote lead with 7,522 (51.22 percent) in favor to 7,163 (48.77 percent) against. Results will not be finalized until Nov. 27.

“Obviously we would like to have seen a bigger margin with the initial results, but overall, I think we’re doing well — particularly with the amount of money that was spent against it,” said Sammamish Mayor Tom Odell.

If approved, the city would decide whether to go for-ward with a 60,000-square-foot multipurpose Commu-nity Center that would be operated by the YMCA. The non-profit would also contribute $5 million towards the construction of the facility and an additional $1 million for equipment and furnishings.

Odell said that operation and construction agreements haven’t been finalized, meaning it could take some time before the council’s final vote on the Community Center — most likely at the end January. Odell said he doesn’t believe there’s a definitive number of pro votes that need to be reached.

“I think if it ends up being one vote positive, people want the Community Center, if it’s one vote against, we’ll seriously have to evaluate things,” he said.

The proposed Community Center would include a leisure pool, lap pool, family spa, full size gymnasium, small gymnasium, a two-lane walk/jog track among several other attributes.

The city, which has promised a community center

would provide no new taxes, would provide the already-owned site near City Hall and $25 million in construc-tion funding — $14 million of which will come from the Parks Capital Fund. The remaining money would come from the city’s reserves, which Odell said would still be strong. He said the city is required to maintain at least 10 percent of one year’s operating budget in reserves and Sammamish would still have three year’s worth, if not more.

In addition to the community center, the YMCA will give the city a 50-year lease at $1 year on approximately seven acres of YMCA property on 228th Avenue near Pine Lake Middle School for future civic purposes.

Opponents of Prop. 1 argued that it would be irre-sponsible for the city to help build a facility that com-peted with existing private enterprise along with using its reserve funds.

“Trying to cram down a single option with no given process without explaining all the facts or alternatives is just wrong,” said citizen Arthur Goldman, who spoke to the city council at its Nov. 6 meeting.

Goldman, who helped author the con statement in the voter’s pamphlet, said he spoke to roughly 200 citizens — 90 percent of whom he said opposed the idea.

“I considerably believe the city should explore the option of a community center, however, this should be done in the open with input from the community with numerous options explored,” he told the council. “I don’t know if you realize, but this is really dividing the com-munity.”

The Reporter will update the results on its website as they become available. Go to www.issaquahreporter.com or www.sammamish-reporter.com.

Early election results displayed a large advantage and they have held for the Democratic incumbents for both seats in the 45th District race.

Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, leads against Republican Joel Hussey for the Position 1 seat with 55.99 - 43.93 percent, or 24,469 votes to 19.198.

Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, leads against Republican Jim Thatcher for the Position 2 seat with 57.04 percent, or 24,822 votes to 18,656.

“I think it’s an indication that the voters actually believe the direction we’re going is the right one and we’re just going to keep it up,” said Rep. Larry Spring-er during an election night event at the Woodmark Hotel. “It’s all about education funding and building and infrastructure and (voters) are going to send (Roger and I) back to the Legislature.”

In the contentious District 5 race for state Senate Democrat Mark Mullet, a member of the Issaquah City Council, took an early lead over Republican Brad Toft, a mortgage lender. Mullet rolled up 23.216 votes (53.75 percent) to Toft’s 19,909 (46.1 percent).

Mullet was celebrating his apparent victory Tuesday night at Zeek’s Pizza in Issaquah, one of his two businesses.

Mullet said he plans to find the middle ground in Olympia and move forward.

“The Democratic party has work to do when it comes to business and my experi-ence will move that along,” he said while enjoying a piece of ice-cream cake.

The cake was decorated with a donkey sporting a mullet hair cut, a humorous jab at his name.

Toft said the race is too close to call“Republicans tend to vote late,” Toft

said. “We watch the trends as they come in and we’re prepared to hold on for a few days.”

The seat that was up for grabs was vacated by Cheryl Pflug, who accepted a position in Olympia. Pflug, a Republican, endorsed Mullet, which left her party scrambling to find a candidate. Toft has maintained that there was a back-door deal between Gov. Chris Gregoire, Pflug and Mullet when Pflug accepted a posi-tion with the State Growth Management Hearings Board.

Magendanz holds lead in district 5 Position 2 race

In the race for District 5 representa-tive, Position 2, between former Issaquah School Board president Chad Magendanz

and educator David Spring, Magendanz was prepared to declare victory Tuesday night as he held on to a 10 point margin.

The first results showed Magendanz with 55.1 percent of the vote, to Spring’s 44.8 percent.

Speaking by phone from the Bellevue Hyatt, Magendanz said his first focus in Olympia would be the funding of educa-tion. Magendanz said he has already been working with the joint task force on education and hopes to be on the educa-tion committee and address a lawsuit on school funding.

Magendanz said Brian Deagle has been appointed as the Issaquah School Board president.

Spring, reached at home, said he is going to watch the numbers in the next couple of days.

“I am happy to get 45 percent of the vote considering I was outspent 30 to one,” Spring said. “What I am disappoint-ed about is that we have the among the lowest school funding in America in east King County, the largest class sizes, but we also pay among the highest taxes in America. The person I’m running against is going to continue that system.”

He blames inadequate school funding on big corporate tax breaks, robbing the future of millions of children.

“My only sadness is this will continue for the next two years. I am only sad for my children,” he said. “I will continue to speak out on this issue, and I will con-tinue to see what happens. I’m not ready to concede this election because I’m get-ting ready for the next election.”

Gene Blair at Capco Beverages in Is-saquah is distinguishing his liquor store from the grocery and big box stores by specializing in scotches and bourbons. And in Sammamish, Jin Kim, who owns Plateau Spirits and Wine, is concentrating on a wide variety of vodka.

When the state got out of the liquor business in June, the former state liquor stores were auctioned to the highest bidder. Kim bought her store on 228th Ave. NE for $200,000; Leon Capelouto of Seattle, who also won the bid on the West Seattle store, won the bid on the Issaquah store for $251,000. Blair manages the Issaquah store.

“I’ve always specialized in scotch and bourbon, and I’ve expanded on them,” Blair said. He has also expanded on minis, because the grocery stores don’t sell them since they are so easy to steal. He stocks 175 di� erent minis, and Kim carries 50 varieties of the little bottles.

At the Issaquah store, Blair has over 100 scotches and over 100 bourbons. He likes to focus on product from local distilleries and he carries only Washington wines. � e store has also added bar supplies, gi� bags and novelties such as Bailey’s chocolates. Blair

also plans to carry growlers, which are 64 oz. jugs of beer that the consumer brings back to re� ll, which Kim has already done.

Kim has 12 taps of high quality beer to � ll her growlers. She said a growler compares to � ve pints, but it’s much better beer and a bet-ter value. For example she carries Redmond’s Mac & Jacks and Georgetown’s Mannys for $9.99 a growler. Taps at Plateau Spirits and Wine will rotate seasonally - right now Kim has a pumpkin beer on tap.

Blair said they have to separate themselves from the competition.

“One thing about the liquor business, you can buy now in 10 di� erent places, but if you want choice, or di� erent things, they (grocery stores, big box stores) all have the same thing,” Blair said.

Kim said competing with the big box stores is hard, but she has more than 3,000 varieties of vodka in stock — everything from a caramel-� avored vodka to a Bison grass � avored vodka from Poland, which she said is very good and no one else has. You can even see the long elegant piece of grass standing in the bottle.

Kim also has daily beer tastings, weekly wine tastings, and 10 percent discounts on purchases of six or more bottles of spirits or wine, a 10 percent discount on your birthday and seniors (over 65) get 10 percent o� on

Tuesdays.Like Blair, she added accessories, such as

Riedel wine glasses, to her inventory.Blair does � nd it bizarre that people still

drive by the Issaquah store thinking it’s closed.

“It never occurred to me that people would drive by and not realize we’re still here,” he said.

He said it’s probably because most of the liquor stores that were bought at auction have folded up and gone out of business.

“Some of them just didn’t know the busi-ness and what they were getting into,” he said. “I’m trying to get everything the big stores can’t.”

Brian Smith, spokesman for the state

liquor control board said when 1183 passed, just because someone bought the license for a store, it doesn’t necessarily mean it opened right away or will open at all. � e buyer can also move the license to a location within one mile. In the case of Issaquah and Sammamish both stores are where they were when they were state owned.

Klahanie Liquor and Wine never got the chance to open as a state liquor store, because 1183 passed before it could. It would have been a neighbor to QFC, which blocked it from opening in that location.


Former state stores thrive on uniqueness

Finding Christmas gifts for teenagers is child’s play. Unconvinced? Then take a look at the few suggestions below. They are sure to please the young people you know without breaking your Christmas budget.

Personalized stuff is always popular with young people. Look for items displaying their � rst name or bearing the image or logo of something they’re interested in. You can � nd such images on soap, cellphone cases, bracelets, mouse pads, school and locker accessories, and backpacks.

Other gifts that always appeal to teenagers include:

• a video game, a bestselling novel, or a DVD;

• a digital media device (such as an MP3 player or an iPod) with a gift certi� cate for downloading music;

• an annual subscription to a favorite magazine;

• a fashion accessory or a makeup kit (for girls).

Is your teenage son or daughter a ice hockey, football, baseball or soccer fan? Do they go crazy over one particular band (that’s right, the one that’s making you go deaf!) that just happens to be giving a show in your area? Then why not offer your teenager a couple of tickets for a favorite event. It can be a fun opportunity

Pleasing a teenager isn’t as hard as it might seem.

Pleasing a teenager isn’t as hard as it might seem.Gift ideas

for teenagers

for you to spend some time with your nearly-grown up child, or you might decide to offer your teen both tickets so he or she can invite a friend along instead.

If you’re still hesitating or are unsure about the perfect gift, you can always fall back on a gift certi� cate. However uninspired it may seem, it’s still a winning formula that enables the recipient to buy a little something that is sure to please.

There is such a thing as the perfect gift

Some people always seem to � nd the perfect gift while others never, ever do. How do those lucky few do it? Here are some of their tricks to � nding all the right gifts without going completely nuts. First of all, start searching your local stores well before the holidays. You don’t need to start buying, necessarily, but you will get inspired and know where to go when you’re ready to buy. Listen to your loved ones on what they’re saying about their wish list, their practical needs, and their dreams. A spouse who grumbles that they don’t get out enough would enjoy a gift certi� cate for the neighborhood movie theatre, while a loved one complaining about their poorly equipped kitchen would be a prime recipient of useful kitchen utensils and gadgets.

When visiting friends and family, look around the home to see what’s missing or what needs replacing. When shopping with them, pay attention to where their gaze wanders. You can create such opportunities by inviting them out for a coffee and then suggesting some window shopping. It’s a great way to collect gift ideas without them even knowing!

With children, their desires are so much easier to pick up on. All you have to do is sit down with them while they write a letter to Santa or ask them to circle everything that catches their eye in a catalog or printed ads.

The very last trick is to be vigilant all year long: � nd a great hiding spot and tuck away suitable gifts that you stumble across by chance during the year. When there’s no Christmas-time pressure your thinking will be clearer and the extra money spent likely won’t be missed. You’ll also earn yourself some time away from the frenzy of Christmas shopping and get some real bargains. It’s another smart way to shop and hit the bull’s eye at the same time.

What would your loved ones like for Christmas?

Many people love to spoil their dog at Christmas, but what about his or her owner? If you’re looking for an original and personalized idea for a dog lover, here are a few ideas to sniff out for a perfect gift.

Many businesses now specialize in photo products, which are a great medium for preserving the memory of a pet for posterity. For pet owners who love to have fun and who are particularly fond of jigsaw puzzles, think about an original wood puzzle featuring their pet. All you have to do is take a photograph of the pet in question to a specialized store where it will be glued to a piece of wood, covered with a protective � lm, and then cut out into pieces. Or for pet owners who spend a lot of time at work, what could be better than presenting them with a calendar featuringthe most beautiful photographs of their four-legged friends?

You could also give a cute food bowl on which the name of the pet has been painted by hand. Just be sure that the bowl is made of good quality earthenware, without any lead or cadmium. In the same vein, no pet owner could resist a personalized collar bearing an engraving of their dog’s name.

For dog owners who haven’t yet mastered their pet’s unruliness, think about offering a gift certi� cate for obedience classes. Look for a trainer who uses a positive approach based on dietary rewards, toys, and physical or educational activities. Be wary of trainers who advocate strategies using physical force that can harm your friend’s pet.

Eggnog Fudge

Makes 64 pieces

3 cups granulated sugar1 cup eggnog1 tbsp corn syrup2 tbsp butter1 tsp vanilla½ cup chopped walnuts

Glaze¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips1 tsp butter

Preparation:Grease sides of large heavy saucepan. Add sugar; stir in eggnog and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until boiling.

Cook, stirring only if necessary to prevent sticking, until candy thermometer reaches soft-ball stage of 238°F, and when ½ tsp syrup dropped into very cold water forms soft ball that � attens on removal from water.

Immediately remove from heat; let cool to lukewarm, 110°F, without stirring. Using wooden spoon, beat in butter and vanilla, beating until very thick and no longer shiny.

Quickly stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8-inch square cake pan.

Think Yummy.Think Fudge!

Tip: If fudge sets too quickly before spreading

in pan, reheat gently over low heat just until soft enough to spread.

Glaze: Melt together chocolate chips and butter. Drizzle over fudge. Score into 1-inch squares while warm; let cool completely and cutinto squares.

Fudge can be layered between waxed paper in airtight container and stored for up to two weeks.

Some smells seem to be permanently engraved in our memories. Scents synonymous with our fondest childhood memories can take us back through the years in the blink of an eye.

A room � lled with the scent of cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg will instantly bring to mind Grandma’s gingerbread cookies or Dad’s hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon.

That’s probably why we rush to stock up with holiday spices and foods that will � ll our homes with exotic fragrances. Just think of the oranges we used to � nd in the bottom

of our Christmas stockings, a throwback to earlier days when citrus fruits were precious, rare treats. Indeed, sticking a few cloves into an orange will � ll a room with a rich perfume, both sweet and spicy and most de� nitely Christmassy.

To really get into the holiday spirit you can always rely on the wonders of Mother Nature. Start with the � r tree, the king of the forest. To ornament your living room with one of these fragrant beauties, choose a balsam � r—its delicious scent makes it the ideal Christmas tree. Other plants and � owers are also great Christmas traditions:

The poinsettia, also known as the Christmas star, is easily recognized by its impressive, bright red bracts;

Holly, with its prickly leaves and red berries, which make it the Christmas symbol par excellence;

The Jerusalem cherry or winter cherry produces a multitude of small, colorful berries in November that look appetizing but are toxic;

A gift to last a lifetimeThe freedom of the road: what a great Christmas gift to give your teenager! Your aspiring driver will be thrilled to receive this recognition of his or her independence and trustworthiness. Driving lessons will help them become fully quali� ed in a safe environment where emphasis is placed on anticipating risks, identifying dangerous behavior, and sharing the road. They are also a great gift for busy parents who might

be in need of some peace of mind or who are tired of ferrying the kids all over town.

Offering the gift of driving lessons to a young person is a practical idea. By opting for a gift certi� cate you’ll be able to choose how much you want to pay for the training, equipment, and materials necessary for the success of the would-be driver.

Before signing up a formal contract, check

if the driving school is a member of a recognized association. Of course, you will want to choose a driving school that is close to home and that has a good reputation. You might want to take into consideration certain other details, such as whether the school provides vehicles for the road test and how many hours of in-car training learners will receive.

The cost of driving lessons can vary from one school to another, but the quality of the training should always be your � rst priority. This is one area where parents shouldn’t try

to cut corners in order to get a good deal! It is a good idea to pay by check, credit, or debit card so that there is a record of payment, and be sure to keep all invoices and receipts.

December is looming on the horizon and so the time has come to start planning your holiday festivities. This year, make a pledge that you won’t leave things until the last minute. Who needs the headache of harried scrambling to busy supermarkets or battling the crowds at the big-box stores? Preparing early will help you organize a truly unforgettable event, whether it’s for work colleagues, friends, or family members.

Start by considering whether you want to host a party at home or dine out. Fix the date and reserve a restaurant or caterer as early as possible. After all, you don’t want to be one of those disorganized people who have to settle for a less-than-ideal place just because it’s one of the few still available. Then, if you have a large enough budget, � nd a DJ to provide the music for your event. Your guests will have lots of fun on the dance � oor to the sound of today’s hits as well as their very own special requests. Karaoke is always a popular entertainment option as well.

Once you’ve settled all those details, let your imagination run riot and think up ways to add some magic to your party. Plan an evening that will appeal to the majority of your guests, one that will require some amusing involvement on their part. Even the most digni� ed of people can let their hair down with some well-planned party games. If you really want to impress your guests, bring in

BY JOSH SUMANISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Keaton Hayenga has taken a di� erent route than most to a Pac-12 basketball court.

An Eastlake graduate, Hayenga was dra� ed in the 31st round of the 2007 MLB Amateur Dra� and spent � ve years in the Kansas City Royals minor league system, making 38 appearances on the mound during his stint as a professional baseball player.

Also a standout basket-ball player during his time with the Wolves, Hayenga decided to head from the diamond to the court, and the classroom, at Bellevue College, where he was named second team all region in the NWAACC a� er one season with the Bulldogs.

Hayenga will get his � rst taste of live action with WSU when the Cougars open the regular season against Eastern Washington in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic at Beasley Coliseum on Nov. 10.

Q Before getting to Washington State, you

played in the Royals farm system. What were the best and worst parts about life on the road in the minors?

A I think just getting to play baseball, which is

a sport I loved growing up. Having that opportunity was something I was tremen-dously blessed to get to do. It is sort of two-fold. Being away from home for nine months was pretty tough. � e travel and stu� is a demanding schedule and it’s not a glamourous lifestyle. But it’s a lot of fun.

Q What is the biggest di� erence between

professional sports and col-legiate sports?

A It has been kind of a cool transition because

I’ve seen that professional side. It’s a lot more self-directed and your work ethic is what is going to get things done because there isn’t a coach or academic

people telling you where to be and what to do. College is a lot more structured and it allows guys to have a schedule and routine of getting things done.

Q Was baseball or bas-ketball your � rst love?

A Honestly, I don’t know if I could ever choose

which was my � rst love. I can remember playing both sports about the same time and I loved them both.

Q Which is more fun: dunking on a guy, or

getting a swinging strike-out?

A � at’s tough…I would say there is probably

nothing more exciting than dunking on someone. � at is one of the coolest plays in sports. But standing on the mound and getting a big strikeout is a pretty cool feeling too.

Q Does Ken Bone ever smile?

A (Laughing) Yeah, he does. He has a sneaky

dense of humor and he dishes out jokes pretty

good.

Q What was the big-gest change going to

Division I from Bellevue College?

A � e talent at the Pac-12 level is o� the charts.

Im excited to get into the league and see what it has to o� er. � e cliche is the game is a lot faster and it holds true. You have to make decisions so much quicker at this level.

Q Is Cougar Gold as great as WSU people

say?

A It is great stu� . � ere are a couple restaurants

that do the Cougar Gold macaroni and cheese. It is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

Q Where will Washing-ton State be seeded

when the Pac-12 tourna-ment begins?

A I don’t know. We’re just focused on trying to

get better every day in prac-tice. If we continue to work hard and play as a team, we will have a good season.

BY KEVIN ENDEJANISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e following informa-tion was compiled from the Sammamish police reports:

TIRES SLASHEDA Sammamish woman

called police Nov. 2 to re-port that someone slashed three of the four tires on her SUV on Halloween night.

� e woman, who lives in the 19000 block of North-east 32nd Place, said her son had take the vehicle out for a Halloween party. She believes he was speci� cally targeted but the son denied that was the case. � e esti-mated cost of replacement tires was $1,000.

PHYSICAL THREATA 30-year-old Samma-

mish woman called police Nov. 3 a� er her husband al-legedly threatened to knock her teeth out.

� e woman, who is not originally from the United States, said her husband recently got upset that she was becoming “more inde-pendent” and took her cell phone away and cut o� her access to the Internet. � e woman said the argument started a� er their young child entered the husband’s workspace and he asked her to remove him. � e husband, 42, denied saying he would knock his wife’s teeth out, saying, “I will not speak ill of my wife, but she is lying.” Police made sure the man understood domestic violence laws and provided the woman the proper resources in case another incident occurs.

BURGLARYA Sammamish woman

reported someone broke

into her home while she was at work Nov. 2 and stole several pieces of jewelry.

� ieves apparently entered the home in the 2100 block of Northeast 6th Place by prying open the garage door.

� ey took several items including silver necklaces valued at $500.

NO LICENSE Sammamish police

responded to a possible burglary in progress Nov. 1 to � nd three employees of a gutter company placing � yers in doors of homes in the 1600 block of 216th Avenue Southeast.When contacted, the employee showed a generic business license they said gave them permission to solicit in Sammamish. Police advised them of the city’s ordinance and contacted the owner of the business, who said he would remove all his employees from the area right away.

SMASH AND GRABAn Orcas Island man

who was visiting a home in Sammamish Oct. 30 called police to report someone broke into his truck over-night and stole all his mixed martial arts gear, a cell phone and his laptop.

� e man said someone smashed the rear cab win-dow of his truck parked in the 2400 block of Southeast 20th Street. Both truck doors were still locked and it appeared thieves simply broke the glass and quickly removed the two gym bags sitting on his seat.

FAMILY FIGHTA Sammamish father

called police to report that his 18-year-old son

punched him in the side of the head.

An argument apparently started a� er the man came downstairs and asked his son, who was watching TV, to be quiet. � e son admit-ted to punching his father, but said he was provoked. He said his dad was sitting across the couch from him asking, “You want to hit me don’t you?” He said his dad then got within 2 feet of him before he struck him in the le� ear. � e son was booked into the Issaquah jail.

TAGGED AGAINAn employee of a Sam-

mamish salon called police Oct. 29 to report a second instance of gra� ti the on business’s garbage bin area.

Vandals sprayed “I cant be SG” in red paint, fol-lowed by something o� cers were unable to discern. � e business had painted over the previous gra� ti.

SHOPLIFTINGTwo 15-year-old Eastlake

High School students were nabbed Oct. 31 for attempt-ing to steal a pair of $10 earbuds and a $26 wireless mouse from Bartell Drugs.

Police contacted the parents of both boys, who received trespass letters and are unable to return to the store.

OVERDOSEPolice responded to a

call of a 19-year-old Sam-mamish male overdosing on heroin Oct. 27. Another man said the victim shot up about a gram of heroine about 20 minutes previous. � e reporting party denied using the drug himself.

� e victim, who was lying on the ground and not making any sense, was transported to Swedish Hospital for treatment.

Information Technology degree that enrolled its � rst class this fall joins two ex-isting bachelor’s degrees, and the college is seeking approval for four more degrees over the next 12 to 24 months.

BC o� ers a wide range of professional-technical degree and certi� cate programs in � elds such as health sciences, informa-tion technology, business, criminal justice and early childhood education. � e college is also the source of more transfer students to Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities than any other community or technical college in the state.

Rule comes to Bellevue College from the Rock Creek campus of Portland Com-munity College in Portland, Ore., where he has served as president for the last four years. Under his leadership, the campus, with 26,000 students, has increasingly put itself on the cutting edge of academic program development, student services, sustainability initiatives and workforce development. It boasts innovative new curricula in solar-voltaic manufacturing, microelectronics and biosciences. One of his primary responsibilities as president has been to oversee the implementation of a $53 million bond measure.

Public Health – Seattle & King County is encouraging people to vaccinate now to protect against the � u.

“Flu vaccine is the single best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from � u,” said Dr. David Fleming, Director and Health O� cer for Public Health – Seattle & King County.

In� uenza can cause signi� cant lost time from work and school, as well as the expense of doctor visits. In some instances, it can also cause hospitalization and even death, health o� cials said.

Health experts recommend that everyone six months and older get the � u vaccine, especially people at high-risk for severe in� uenza, including:

Children 6 months through their � � h birthday.Pregnant women, to protect both the mother and the newborn infant.Adults age 50 years and older.People with chronic health problems like diabetes, heart, liver, lung, kidney, and

certain neurological diseases, and extreme obesity.Household members, care givers, and other close contacts of high-risk people should

get vaccinated to prevent them from spreading in� uenza.Vaccine supply is widely available in King County. Flu shots are available at doc-

tors’ o� ces, clinics, pharmacies, and other providers. Some health care providers and pharmacies may also have FluMist, the nasal spray vaccine.

Q: “How did Fox Plumbing & Heat-

ing get started?”

A : Virgil Fox started the

company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment

of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.

Q: “What plumbing services do you o� er? And do you do both repair and installa-tion?”

A : If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both � x ailing

systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in � xing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be � xed we � x it. We o� er a full range of plumb-ing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by o� ering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catch-ing problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our sta� , provid-

ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.

Q: “Do you guarantee your services?”

A : Absolutely, we have the best written war-ranties in the business. We provide our

customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experi-ence with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from cur-rent customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satis� ed customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.

Q: “In an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about a� erhours and on the weekends?”

A : Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks

and furnaces can’t tell time and o� en chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut o� videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we o� en get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we � x the problem. A� er an emergency many of our custom-ers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great im-provements in their plumbing systems.

Q: “Do you o� er any products that could help my water supply be more e� cient, or save me money?”

A : First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t

believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tank-less system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. � e ben-e� ts of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tank-less hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.

It’s All About

SERVICEFast. Professional. Friendly.

The secret to incredible soups and risotto? Rich, nourishing homemade stock, made fresh right in your own kitchen.

Key to creating flavorful stock is using the freshest ingredients you can find: organic chicken, high-quality, farm-fresh vegetables and perky, fragrant herbs.

Visit PCC’s website to learn how to make poultry stock and vegetable stock with recipes, slideshows and how-to video tutorials that walk you through each simple step: www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/pcc/videos/

make-your-own-chicken-stock-scratchBefore you know it, you’ll have this treasure

stowed in your freezer -- your very own secret ingredient for future memorable meals.

Basic Chicken StockIngredients3 pounds uncooked chicken pieces or trimmed bones (wings, legs, backs, thighs, necks and breasts in any combination)2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary2 to 3 sprigs fresh parsley2 bay leaves2 carrots, cut into large dice2 ribs celery, cut into large dice1 large onion, peel left on and cut into large dice1 large leek, cut into large dice2 small or 1 large tomato(es), cut into chunks3 to 4 cloves garlic, crushed4 whole cloves6 peppercornsSalt and peppers, to taste

PreparationWith a length of kitchen twine, tie herbs together with the bay leaves into a bundle. Place the chicken, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, cloves and peppercorns in a large soup pot and add enough cold water

to cover them by about 2 inches (about 4 quarts). Bring the pot to a simmer, and skim any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat so the liquid is barely simmering. You should only see a few bubbles intermittently rising to the surface. Cook, uncovered, for 3 hours. During the cooking process, add a little more liquid to the pot if needed to keep the ingredients submerged.Strain the stock, pressing hard on the meat and vegetables to squeeze out the juices. Discard the meat and vegetables. Season the stock with salt and pepper. Remove the excess fat from the surface of the stock by either skimming with a ladle, using a fat separator or you may place the stock in the refrigerator overnight and remove the solid fat layer that rises to the top.

Important note: Cool your stock as quickly as possible. Here are two methods:

1) Place the pot in a bath of ice water in your sink. Stir occasionally until cooled, then refrigerate.

2) Let the stock cool for about 15 minutes, then pour into individual canning jars (cleaned and sterilized) and refrigerate. Leave a little room at the tops of the jars to allow for expansion if you plan to freeze them. Store the stock in the refrigerator for several days or freeze it for up to several months.
