Eastside Academy – Making a Difference in Young People’s Lives
Greg Stone, Executive Director of Bellevue’s Eastside Academy, gave a powerful look into the challenges that come with preparing at-risk high school students spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically to complete requirements for a high school diploma and transition successfully to the workplace or college. This Christian alternative high school is housed at the First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue.
The Academy has a teaching staff of two teachers, a principal, and over thirty volunteers from the community as it “eagerly anticipates the start of its third school year this week.” Stone said they’ll have an enrollment of 25 students, with a wait list of over 20 young people. READ MORE

Sage Sayings from the John Deere Company:
(At last week’s Evergreen State Fair, these sayings were posted in the cow barns by a Rotarian family from East Jefferson County who were displaying their Angus cattle. Now you know the rest of the story!)
“When grass is dry at morning light, rain will come before the night. When dew is on the morning grass, rain will never come to pass.”
“When ropes twist, forget your hay.”
“Halos around the moon, rain is coming soon.”
“Fog on a summer morn means a fair day.”
“When birds fly it means clear sky.”
“When a cow thumps her ribs with her tail, expect thunder, rain, lightning and hail.”
“When pigs fly, cows will lay eggs.”
“It’s always a good day when pigs fly!”
