Sammamish girl is a star in healthy choices campaign
September 28, 2011
“When she was really little,” Frances Clairmont said of daughter Hillary Dominguez, “she used to point at the TV and say, ‘I’m going to do that.’”
Clairmont said that at first, she and the rest of her family really weren’t sure if Hillary was hoping to be a doctor, a model or whatever other profession was being portrayed on the screen.
“We just thought it was really cute,” Clairmont continued.

John said he’s experienced so many “moments of magic” since hosting the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Taj Mahal and Betty Carter, it’s hard to distinguish even a few top picks.

In 2008, when Tim Patterson first heard the Lake Washington School District’s proposal to give every student at his school a netbook for the entire school year, he wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about it.
In fact, as principal of Inglewood Junior High School and a member of the 12-principal technology advisory board, he was part of the vocal minority that took issue with, among other things, the devices’ “cool factor” potentially distracting students from the main goal: learning and retaining a jam-packed curriculum.
