hen — or if — cashless tolling starts on the State Route 520 Bridge in December, it will be one of the most audacious things that’s ever happened to state transportation.

It’ll affect hundreds of thousands of people on the Eastside and Seattle.

It’ll put tolls on what’s now a free route across Lake Washington.

And if that’s not hard enough — making people pay for something they get for free now — there’s a vast mix of complications, including five types of vehicle transponders, tolls that range from zero at night to $5, depending on the time of day and payment type, and then making everything match. “This project is among the most complex in the tolling industry,� is how an Expert Review Panel summed it up in an August report. “The requirements they have established go beyond anything in place today.

Implementing this system far exceeds the difficulties experienced by most toll agencies,� the panel added.

With a cost estimated at $4.65 billion, redoing the 520 corridor, including the bridge, will be one of the most expensive road projects in history. The record is held

by Boston’s “Big Dig,� put at $22 billion, but redoing I-90 from Seattle to Bellevue in the 1980s came to $1.46 billion and Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement is projected at $3.1 billion. About $1 billion of the 520 cost is to be paid through tolling.

Whether the 520 tolling will work is unknown. Tolling was supposed to start nearly a year ago, but the review panel, made up of six tolling-industry experts, found that schedule never was realistic.

And one panel member, Ron Fagan, who spent 14 years running Texas toll roads, has precisely described what can go wrong:

Owners plan to rebuild business

The late model Cadillac CTS that crashed into SunShine Foot Spa last Thursday was pulled out of the business last Friday. The car, driven by a 91-year-old man, suffered minimal damage, despite being driven about 55 feet into the spa.

SunShine Foot Spa will remain closed until repairs are complete under construction,� she said. “So there’s nothing (the business owners) can do until they rebuild.�

The owners of SunShine, located at 16807 Redmond Way, were not available for a comment.

Aydelotte said her company will provide assistance throughout the construction process, working with both the business owners and the construction workers.

She said they have been in contact with the driver’s insurance company but it is too early for any type of conclusion. “We don’t know anything yet,� Aydelotte said.

After the accident, the driver was arrested for reckless driving and suspicious

The owners of SunShine Foot Spa in downtown Redmond are planning to rebuild after a 91-year-old Redmond man drove his car about 55 feet into their business last Thursday.

Monica Aydelotte of Legacy Commercial, the Bellevue property management company that owns the building, said the car, a late model Cadillac CTS, has been pulled out and the storefront has been boarded up with plywood. The spa will remain closed until construction is complete.

Aydelotte said this was SunShine’s only location. “It’s going to be fully

of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.

Redmond police spokesperson Jim Bove said the man was booked and released.

In earlier reports, Bove said the driver had accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead of the break, causing him to hop the curb and crash through SunShine’s front entrance.

Three people — the driver, an employee and patron — were injured and transported to Redmond hospitals to treat minor injuries.

Bove said there had been about 10 people in SunShine at the time of the crash and said it was very lucky that others were not hurt.

City Council takes stance against Initiative-1125 Marijuana collective garden moratorium continues; new Rose Hill Middle School project approved SAMANTHA PAK

spak@redmond-reporter.com

CANDIDATE PROFILES AVAILABLE ONLINE Video profiles featuring the Redmond mayoral and council candidates are now available to view on Redmond City Television (RCTV) Channels 21 and 75 (Comcast) and Channel 34 (Frontier), as well as On Demand at the City of Redmond website, www.redmond.gov, under Focus on Redmond. Only two of Redmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five municipal races are being contested this year.

Joel Wright and city planning commissioner Tom Flynn are vying for the council seat currently held

by Richard Cole, who is retiring at the end of the year. Sue Stewart is challenging incumbent council member David Carson for his seat. Mayor John Marchione and incumbent city council members Hank Myers and Hank Margeson are running unopposed.

The Redmond City Council voted to take an official stance against Initiative 1125 at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business meeting at City Hall.

The vote was 5-2 with council members David Carson and Hank Myers voting no. Both council members said they are against the initiative, but do not support the concept of telling people how to vote.

While discussing the issue, Carson said Redmond citizens are intelligent and able to make their own decisions and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a stance as a necessity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a) principle thing on my part,â&#x20AC;? he said, explaining his no vote.

Myers added that he feels by taking an official stance, they are stepping beyond their role as City Council.

While council member Hank Margeson agreed that Redmond voters are intelligent, he said they also look to the Council for guidance. He added that the initiative would destroy the State Route 520 bridge from being built any time soon and would delay light rail from coming to Redmond, if not stop it altogether. Margeson said he thinks it is the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsi-

bility to step forward and make a statement.

If passed, I-1125 would hinder tolling on roadways, including SR-520. The Tim Eyman-sponsored measure would prohibit vehicle toll revenue and motor vehicle fund revenue from being used for non-transportation purposes.

Additionally, I-1125 would require that road and bridge tolls be set by the Legislature, instead of the state Transportation Commission, and be project specific. And according to analysis by the state Office of Financial Management (OFM), I-1125 would break apart the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of using tolls to help build highways.

Council member Pat Vache said if passed, I-1125 would â&#x20AC;&#x153;strangle the Pacific Northwest slowly,â&#x20AC;? which was why he voted to oppose the initiative.

Council member Kimberly Allen added that the initiative would directly affect Redmond. She said she thinks citizens would be curious about what the Council thinks

about the measure, which was why she whole-heartedly supported the resolution to oppose I-1125. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This initiative will cut the funding to (the SR-520) bridge,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While the Redmond City Council is against the initiative, Eyman points out that polls show I-1125 is gaining support because of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;common senseâ&#x20AC;? policies, such as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transportation money must be used for transportation, tolls on a project must go to the project, tolls must end once a project is paid for, and tolls must be the same for everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; uniform and consistent.

For 100 years, these were the rules that built the I-90 bridge, the 520 bridge, and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I-1125 simply keeps those tested, 100-year protections in effect. Tolls arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taxes and I-1125 keeps it that way.â&#x20AC;?

In other City Council news, members unanimously voted on Tuesday to continue the six-month moratorium on marijuana collective gardens in Redmond, after no one commented at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public hearing.

The state required the city to hold a public hearing within 60 days of setting the moratorium, which the Council passed on Aug. 16 to give

the public an opportunity to comment on the issue.

State law allows marijuana collective gardens, where up to 10 qualifying medical patients can get together to organize and form a collective cannabis garden containing up to 15 plants per person and a cap total of 45 plants.

City officials say the moratorium gives staff time to study the grayarea state law concerning marijuana collective gardens and the impacts they could have on the community before recommending any type of regulations.

City Council members also unanimously voted at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting to approve the Lake Washington School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conditional-use permit and height variance for the new Rose Hill Middle School, which is scheduled to open fall 2013. Construction on the new building is scheduled to begin in April 2012.

The new building is part of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modernization program, which was approved through a bond voters approved in 2006.

At next Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council meeting, council members will have a study session on the controversial traffic-enforcement camera program. No public testimony will be taken, but the 7:30 p.m. meeting is open to the public.

The King County Council has worked very hard over the last four years to keep the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial health from deteriorating during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

This year, even though revenues are starting to improve, they are not growing at rates that will sustain us.

But a crisis can also be an opportunity. In the last four years, we have cut $233 million of our General Fund budget, which for 2011 is $618 million. These cuts have created an opportunity for the county to think beyond lost revenues, and concentrate on what could be done with the resources available. For example: t 0VS DPOUJOVFE TVDDFTT JO UIF JNQMFNFOUB tion of prevention programs and therapeutic alternatives to incarceration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as our nationally recognized Drug and Mental Health Court programs. t 4BWJOHT GSPN UIF )FBMUIZ *ODFOUJWF QSPHSBN TVQ ported by the council will reduce the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care budget by $61 million in the next two years. t 1VCMJD QSJWBUF QBSUOFSTIJQT MJLF UIF POF XF have with HealthPoint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a partnership that helps keep the doors of many of our public health clinics open. t 4USFBNMJOFE FMFDUSPOJD DPVSU SFDPSET JO Superior Court, which reduces costs and makes records more easily accessible to the public and law enforcement online. t Ä&#x2021; F DPVOUZ T OFX SFHJPOBM BOJNBM TFSWJDFT

Despite our efforts, major challenges remain.

Restructuring of our roads funding system is necessary. Without it, over time, there will be diminished regular maintenance and storm response and potential road closures in our unincorporated areas.

We also must prepare for a state budget shortfall

of $1.4 billion, which will likely mean further cuts to critical county services, especially public health.

Over the next several weeks, the council will review all aspects of the budget. During that time we urge you to get involved: come to one of our three special night meetings on the budget, get updates on our budget web page (www.kingcounty.gov/ council/budget), and watch the budget meetings on King County Television (KCTV).

We want you to be our partner in this budget and in the continuing reform of King County Government.

Making sense of the Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;class warfareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rhetoric

W

hen President Obama recently unveiled his plan to pay down the deficit, congressional Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first reaction was to call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;class warfareâ&#x20AC;? because his plan calls for increasing taxes on the wealthy and recovering revenue that we currently give away as a nation to powerful corporations in the form of tax loopholes.

Republicans have some nerve calling the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;class warfare.â&#x20AC;? Since the 1970s, both Republican and Democratic administrations alike have accepted or embraced conservative economic theory, which holds that massive tax cuts, corporate welfare, and fewer regulations are the key to prosperity for everybody. The results of these policies speak for themselves.

By every objective measure, the rich have been getting richer in this country, while all other families have been losing ground.

There is no shortage of hard data.

Surveys and research done by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce show that income inequality has been on the rise since the 1970s. Among well developed countries, the United States stands out as having

the biggest gap between the rich and the poor.

Data from the Census Bureau shows that as of last year, the top 20 percent of American households (those making at least $100,000 or more) received nearly half of all income earned in the United States.

Households below the poverty line received only 3.4 percent. That is a ratio of 14.5 to 1, compared to about 13.6 to 1 in 2008, and a historic low of 7.69 to 1 in 1968 the year America elected Richard Nixon.

Data from Bard College and the Federal Reserve, meanwhile, shows that the top 1 percent of Americans controls 34.6 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net worth. The bottom 90 percent controls only 26.9 percent of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net worth.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the median net worth for members of Congress is $912,000. A member of Congress has a one-in-two chance of being a millionaire.

The average CEO makes an astonishing 185 times more what the average worker makes, according to 2009 data from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).

FROM THE ROOTS

OPINION

Government reform key to turning crisis into opportunity

California-Berkeley have calculated that the top one percent have experienced a total gain of $673 billion more in annual income since 1979. The bottom 20 percent, on the other hand, have experienced a total loss of $136 billion since 1979.

In fact, every income group not part of the top 10 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which means the bottom 90 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has experienced an overall loss.

Hacker and Pierson came up with these numbers by estimating what incomes would have been had all income groups realized the same growth rate between 1979 and 2005 as they did in the decades before.

The increase weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in income inequality has been inexplicably accompanied by tax policy that consistently favors the wealthy. The situation is so bad now that some Americans who have benefited from it are speaking out, loudly and forcefully. Warren Buffett recently penned an op-ed for the New York Times urging Congress to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop coddling the super rich.â&#x20AC;? Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength, a group of courageous investors and entrepreneurs who want Congress to raise their taxes, has repeatedly debunked claims by Republicans that raising taxes on the wealthy would hurt the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of staggering disparities in income between the top one per-

cent and the rest of income earners, the top one percent earns far more in income than it pays in taxes compared to other income groups, even when taking into account that it pays proportionately more taxes,â&#x20AC;? the millionaires noted in a July letter to House Speaker John Boehner.

Republicans, of course, have their own wealthy supporters who like our broken system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and want to keep it that way. Among them are the Koch brothers, who spent astonishing sums of money last year to help get Republicans elected. Curiously, in 2008, the Koch brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net worth was approximately $38 billion, and their firm employed 80,000 people. Today, after three years of recession, their net worth is $50 billion, but the number of people they employ has dropped to 67,000.

Those last juxtaposed figures alone should make it perfectly clear who has really been on the losing side of â&#x20AC;&#x153;class warfare.â&#x20AC;?

When Redmond started its red light camera pilot program, Redmond Police Chief Ron Gibson told the city council, “collision data alone probably does not justify the use of cameras ... we don’t have that many collisions in Redmond.”

Well, now we do.

The police department reported last month that collisions are up 36 percent at the camera intersections since the cameras were installed. Additionally, rear-end accidents are up 33 percent. The point of the program is to reduce collisions. It’s not working.

This result is not unexpected. Cities across the country are dumping this program because they have not seen an improvement in safety. In the last three months, two of the nation’s largest cities — Los Angeles and Houston — have cancelled their camera program.

Redmond is a late adopter to a 1990s technology that isn’t working.

Has driver behavior at these intersections changed? Very little. The

city’s report shows that the camera company has identified only seven percent fewer potential violations at two key intersections during the pilot period.

The city has issued $1.2 million in tickets in six months. What has this program brought to Redmond? It has brought 36 percent more accidents, little change in driving behavior, clogged intersections as people are afraid to make legal right turns, the signatures of 6,000 residents who demand a vote on the program, and now legal fees the city is paying with taxpayer funds to keep those same signatures in

the city’s vault so they can’t be validated.

The program has also brought the city’s elected officials the self-inflicted poor public relations and distractions that come with their handling of their citizen’s initiative.

The city will be making a decision as early as next week on cancelling this program.

I know they sincerely want your input and they read and respond to all e-mails. Please let them know you want the camera contract cancelled at mayor council@redmond.gov.

New standard would boost jobs, economy President Obama recently made a very quiet decision to negate significant EPA findings and pulled back on implementing stronger smog standards for various industries, saying that the new regulations would harm the economy and job growth.

These regulations would have curtailed ozone emissions which are known to create smog and cause asthma, heart disease and premature death. And this is just the beginning, because other limits on

mercury and air toxins, greenhouse gases from power plants and other harmful emissions are also currently under debate.

I would like to point out that supporting scientific findings from our Environmental Protection Agency, especially with the goal of saving lives, is not only the responsible moral choice for our president, it would actually help the economy!

Implementing the new regulations creates jobs; the standards have to be enforced by governmental agencies and new equipment needs to be manufactured and installed. It would also save our country

possibly billions in health care costs as we take a proactive and preventative stand against the known causes of chronic disease.

The bottom line is that the only ones who would be impacted negatively by implementing these standards are the industries themselves, the presumable “job growers” who would have to reach into their very deep pockets in order to comply with the new regulations.

C’mon Obama, stop capitulating to these old arguments and let’s get back to your original agenda of hope.

Join QFC in Helping the YWCA.

BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

Think back to the first time you realized that you were in complete control of the life you wanted to lead. And more importantly, you felt like you would be able to meet and even exceed the challenges ahead. Successes in life build upon each other and gain momentum as you get older, and they bring with them much more responsibility. This is why it is so important we lay the foundation our children need now, so they understand they have a solid support structure in place and realize they can rely on themselves as adulthood approaches.

women improve lives for themselves, their children and our community.

This same concept is the reason why QFC is so proud to partner with the YWCA as our Checkstand Charity of the Month during October. It’s all about creating a support structure and stability where it did not previously exist. YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish opens doors to opportunity and selfsufficiency for women and families who face poverty, violence and discrimination. For more than a century, YWCA has offered programs that help

Residents such as Megan and Gary Hammon are finding life more affordable and comfortable at YWCA Family Village at Issaquah. Their three young children include Hailey, a sweet 4-yearold who suffers from a medical condition and requires a feeding tube. The family had to move from their former apartment because of building defects but wanted to stay in the Issaquah School District. Although Gary works

The YWCA also remains one of the largest and most experienced providers of housing and supportive services to women and families in our community. YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish owns some 693 apartment units and manages an additional 267 units throughout King and Snohomish counties. YWCA Family Village at Issaquah, an innovative 146-unit affordable-housing community on the Eastside, is among the YWCA’s recent housing ventures.

YWCA opens doors to opportunity by providing resources to eliminate racism, empower women, end homelessness, offer safe havens and promote the wellbeing of children and youth.

Effective: October 2, 2011 - October 29, 2011

in security for a hospital and has excellent health-care coverage, their portion of Hailey’s medical expenses is still high. The affordability of YWCA Family Village and its proximity to a regional hospital and other medical care means the Hammons can stay in the school district and community they cherish while providing the best care their daughter needs.

[6] October 7, 2011 [ DANCE from page 1] “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Redmond resident Kate Julin, who along with her Redmond friend are enrolled in Osborn’s dance workshops leading up to the big dance.

“We are going for the white look with the white gloves.

We are going to do wigs too — something really wild.”

Osborn, who grew up in Great Britain listening and dancing to Jackson’s music, is leading $5 workshops demonstrating how to do the famous “Thriller” dance.

The workshops will be held at the Redmond Senior Center, 8703 160th Ave. NE, at 10 a.m. this Saturday and next. In addition, a

www.redmond-reporter.com final workshop will be held Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center.

The cost to participate in the “Thrill the World” dance is $10, with all the proceeds from the event going to children’s educational programs at SecondStory Repertory, which is located at the town center.

“The whole event is meant to raise money for charity,” Osborn said.

As for the dance moves, Osborn makes them easy and fun, according to Julin.

“I think Teresa could teach any kind of dance to anybody,” Julin said. “She is just motivated, positive and fun.”

Osborn said she makes the dance easy to learn by

breaking it down into eight sections — some of which are repeatable.

“I can break it down right down to the last little beat,” Osborn said.

Dance lessons will not be provided on the day of the “Thrill of the World” event so interested participants are encouraged to attend the $5 workshop. Visit www.RedmondZombies. com for details and to sign up.

In 2009, 22,596 dancers around the world participated in this simultaneous “Thriller” dance phenomenon with more than 300 doing the dance at the town center. Each of the past two years, more than 2,000 spectators have watched and cheered on the dancers,

according to Osborn.

This year, Osborn is hoping for some those spectators to become dancers. She said she has a high goal of 1,000 dancers for this year’s event.

Corey McDaniel, education director for SecondStory Rep, said the event is meant to connect residents in a fun, fashionable way.

“Everyone loves an excuse to dress up,” McDaniel said with a smile.

Costumed actors from SecondStory Repertory also got on in the fun during past events and will do so again this year. The event will once again feature a costume contest. New to the event this year will be a lip dub prior to the “Thrill the World” dance.

The event will also feature live entertainment and Osborn said she is working to get the town center businesses more involved this year.

Volunteers are also needed to help on the day of the event. For more information about the upcoming event, call (425) 861-6729 or visit www.Redmond Zombies.com.

HUGE 3 -DAY MANUFACTURER LIQUIDATION SALE

[8] October 7, 2011

www.redmond-reporter.com

[ TOLLS from page 1] “You can lose a lot of money doing this if you don’t have the basics right — and there are certain critical operational aspects that you need to understand before you take the risk of just switching to all-electronic because that’s the sexy new thing,” Fagan wrote in explaining why he was going into private consulting.

At the same time, cashless tolling undeniably is foreseen as the way to move people in places as divergent as Australia, South Africa and Florida.

It also offers undeniable benefits: Drivers don’t even have to slow down to pay tolls, so choke points disappear. No expensive salaries have to be paid for toll collectors.

Chances for human error are reduced. No huge piles of money have to be counted and physically handled.

Yet making the systems work to allow those benefits can be nearly overwhelming.

“You can’t get it wrong,” said Tyler Patterson, Washington State Department of Transportation toll operations engineer.

“You bill the wrong people, and that shoots down the whole system.”

“My personal feeling is they’re trying to do too many things at once,” said Peter Samuel, a former newspaper reporter who’s found a niche as a toll-road expert through publishing a newsletter called TOLLROADSnews for the past 15 years.

In any case, the state DOT finds itself dealing with three tolling projects at once – on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Highway 167 in the Green River Valley and now 520.

At the least, just the technical work involves sorting out systems that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.

HOW TOLLING WORKS The basic concept for tolling 520, which carries more than 100,000 vehicles a day, involves two types of charges.

One’s called “Good To Go.” That’s induced more than 100,000 people to pay a minimum of $30 to buy “Good To Go” transponders, partly through clever TV ads.

The transponders themselves are something of a technological wonder.

They come in versions that can be mounted on places like a windshield or a license-plate holder and tests have shown they’ll even work if they’re stuck in a glove compartment.

They’ve even become so cheap that Samuel says it might soon be easier to give them away than charge for them; they used to cost about $25 each, but now they’re down to as low as $1.25 apiece.

And while once transponders were kind of clunky, box-like things, now they’re barely bigger than a credit card.

Even worries about issues like batteries are in the past.

Present-day transponders use something called “passive backscatter” for their power, meaning the signal that reads the transponder information also powers the transponder itself.

Drivers can see some indications of how the system will work just by driving across the bridge. The antennas and cameras and most of the other visible equipment to allow tolling has been installed on girders of the East High Rise, the transition section that leads from 520’s floating pontoons to land in Medina.

Even that was something of a compromise, said Patterson. When the 520 route opened in 1963, it had toll booths on land, just east of the bridge.

But the land there is virtually unusable for such installations now, he added, with nearly all of it torn up for construction.

Signs denoting toll testing in progress over the westbound lanes of the SR 520 floating bridge in Medina. Tolling is set to start in December, pending a vast mix of complications. CHAD COLEMAN, Redmond Reporter And putting the gear on the bridge itself, where it would be over water on pontoons, also wasn’t very desirable, leading to the temporary high-rise location.

All of it’s scheduled to be replaced when a new bridge is opened, now planned for 2014.

For all their golly-how-cool characteristics, however, the transponder concepts might be considered fairly straightforward.

The theory is that people establish an account and pay for a transponder, probably with a credit card, and when they cross the bridge, a signal is sent and a toll is deducted from their account. Get near the bottom of your money, and an autopay feature puts in more bucks.

In theory, almost nothing could be easier, and cashless toll systems routinely have 70 or 80 percent transponder use, notes Samuel, accounting for the bulk of traffic.

That still leaves thousands of non-transponder drivers, however, and that’s where cameras come in, allowing a license-plate recording system that makes up the heart of the system, matching vehicles and license plates and transponders.

Again, in theory, this isn’t too hard.

The cameras are made by a company called JAI and trace their origins to industrial systems developed in Denmark beginning in 1963.

Part of the technology actually stems from counting things like pop bottles, said Rich Dickerson, a JAI spokesman.

It turns out that JAI cameras are commonly used for chores like inspecting bottles on production lines, checking for things like whether caps are in place, whether the bottles are filled and labeling.

That might make it seem like, compared to counting billions of bottles, keeping track of 100,000 cars a day on 520 would be easy.

That’s not quite the case, said Dickerson.

Counting cars on a bridge in a rainy December isn’t really much like counting beer bottles in a factory, said Dickerson.

“It’s a little bit more dynamic an environment,” he said.

It also turns out the key to the cameras isn’t really the cameras themselves, he explained, but the triggering mechanism.

While the cameras are certainly examples of advanced technology, shooting some 30 frames a second, compared to maybe five frames a second for a fancy amateur camera, they’re nowhere near 10,000-frames-

a-second cameras that might be used to capture a speeding bullet.

They will record license plates on cars moving up to 150 mph, added Dickerson, but the real secret is finding the proper balance to make everything work.

For example, a constantly-running camera system wouldn’t be good, he noted, since it would generate too much information, which already is something of a problem.

“You’re pumping all this data into the network, you’re creating huge bottlenecks,” he said.

What’s better is a system that takes a picture when there’s something to photograph, like a car in a lane.

Yet even that’s not easy, added Dickerson.

If a car is changing lanes, for example, a camera might record just half a license plate.

The way around that is to have enough cameras, and Patterson notes there’ll be 12 of them on 520, with three on each lane, two doing front plates and one for rear readings, for four lanes.

But there’s more.

The cameras have to work all day, of course, but they also have to work at night.

And in rain, and snow.

Yet it’s obvious that the usual way people take pictures in the dark — with a flash — wouldn’t work on 520; imagine having someone set off a strobe light into your windshield at 60 mph.

The solution there is to use something invisible — but not an infrared camera, said Dickerson, since that often results in a “floating plate image,” meaning the license plate is visible, but not the vehicle, so the plate and the car can’t be matched.

Instead, what’s used is called “dual-band flash,” said Dickerson, or “near-infrared.”

The effect is to get something like a flashgun, but invisible.

“You want a wavelength that’s just outside human perception,” said Dickerson.

While this can be done, it’s also not exactly simple.

The state’s contractor “should research and test alternative options for night illumination if the near-infrared does not produce the quality required,” the Expert Review Panel concluded in August.

Such technical questions are just parts of many other procedures that have to be in place before tolling can start, however.

THE ‘BACK OFFICE’ OF TOLLING There’s a whole toll-collection system, allowing for the mailing of bills to nontransponder-equipped drivers, and arranging the ultimate sanction, of not allowing drivers with unpaid bills to renew their license tabs. Provisions have to be made for rental cars and out-of-state drivers. An administrative-law-judge process has to be created, with the judges still to be hired, to deal with drivers who think they’ve been improperly billed.

This alone can be a source of bedeviling complexity, with a DOT audit noting a backlog of 100,000 tolling violations had been run up on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge by April, after a change of tolling contractors there.

Such work is part of what’s known as the “back office” of tolling, and that’s often seen as the real, and invisible, challenge to getting tolling on 520.

“That’s usually the bigger challenge,” said Dickerson.

In fact, both the Expert Review Panel and an internal DOT audit have cited such “back office” questions as critical.

Incidentally, the 520 “back office” is in Seattle’s University District. With an address of 4554 Ninth Ave. N.E., it’s where the state’s tolling contractor, Electronic Trans-

action Consultants (ETC), of Richardson, Texas, houses its operations here.

It’s the “back office” functions that have caused substantial problems, the Expert Review Panel found.

“The vendor’s lack of understanding of the accounting requirements has caused several missteps in development of the system,” the panel found.

The DOT internal audit was done on Tacoma Narrows procedures, since tolling isn’t yet used on 520, but also raised substantial doubts about proposed 520 operations.

“It will be important to address the recommendations above before beginning tolling on the SR520 bridge, as the current traffic and revenue reconciliation effort does not appear reliable or scalable to the large volume of transactions expected for SR520,” the audit concluded.

In effect, that means the state has “to make sure all the toll transactions are reported,” and that the transactions have to be “subject to vigorous testing procedures,” said Steve McKerney, DOT director of internal audit.

In practice, this means all the cars and the money match, he added.

“It’s gathering trip data and making sure that results in a billed transaction,” said McKerney.

“The problem is really designing those standard reports and having the vendor develop the software,” he added.

As an example of what has to be done, McKerney explained that part of the work on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which handles about 40,000 vehicles a day and isn’t cashless, still using human toll collectors, routinely works with Excel spreadsheets to track transactions.

“That is a much more manual process,” he said, and it’s unlikely such techniques could be adopted for the fully automated 520 tolling.

McKerney said he didn’t know what type of programs or operating platforms would be used by ETC in meeting the 520 requirements, since the DOT audit function isn’t involved in designing programs.

ETC has had a mixed record of meeting such requirements. Besides encountering problems on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the corporation has been the subject of disputes in operations in Louisiana and Florida.

Yet the business also won a significant contract in August, getting an $88 million award from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to handle tolling on four bridges and two tunnels, carrying 242 million vehicles a year, dwarfing Washington State traffic.

ETC declines to discuss what problems it’s facing in making back-office functions work.

But Mark Hallenbeck, director of the University of Washington’s transportation research center, describes what’s essentially an accounting morass.

Whatever software is used, he explained, has to keep track of everything from expiring credit-card dates to matching cars and owners so bills can be mailed, involving tracking ownerships through 50 states and even internationally, perhaps to Canada or elsewhere.

“The lookup process is pretty ugly,” he said.

Then there are such questions as how to handle after-the-fact billing, since charges are sent after the bridge crossings.

“Do you send 20 bills?” if the crossings are made over a period of days, he asked.

“Here’s where the reconciliation process gets difficult.”

Khorana said the new HCL location is now open with 40 engineers and managers currently working at the site. And with the company’s pledge to create 400 jobs during the next two years, he said they will be “adding another 360 engineers and business managers, at least.”

HCL currently has 21 offices in 15 states and Khorana said the company is committed to continue growing in this country.

“HCL America has been investing significantly in new facilities to generate local employment and support our U.S. client base,” he said. “In the last three years, HCL Americas’ headcount has increased by more than 175 percent and currently has 6,400 U.S. employees.”

Before officially coming to town, Khorana said HCL had more than 400 employees already working in Redmond with Microsoft, which made opening a new center a natural next step.

He added that the influx of jobs and competitive salaries to the area will help to build up and strengthen

the local economy.

Vandenbrande, who has been with the city for 10 years, said they are happy to have a new growing company in the area. She said not all of these jobs will be filled

by Redmond residents, so the new facility will be beneficial in bringing jobs to Washington as a whole in addition to the city.

She also said that with HCL located in the Overlake neighborhood near State Route 520 as well as the Overlake Transit Center, people will have prime access to the new site. “(HCL) will have a great home here in Redmond,” she said.

She added that the variety of housing choices in the area has the potential to attract more people to live in Redmond as well.

Businesses report fraudulent activity with phone systems REPORTER STAFF

Two downtown businesses in the same building reported fraudulent activity with their phone services Monday morning, according to Redmond police reports.

Both companies, located in the 7100 block of 185th Avenue Northeast, use the same Internet phone service provider. The system was hacked into and their phone numbers “were used for fraudulent calls,” according to police spokes-

man Jim Bove.

Several people received a call from the businesses’ phone numbers with an automated recording saying their Wells Fargo debit card had been deactivated and they needed to call this number back with their

bank account number and pin, Bove said.

“One business received over 1,000 return calls,” he said.

In addition, the other business reported that there were several international calls on their account that they had not made.

Friends of Youth CEO continues her efforts to make a difference SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Since her earliest jobs, Terry Pottmeyer has always interacted with children, so it was no surprise when she

applied for the chief programming officer position at Friends of Youth (FOY) in Redmond.

Now, almost two years later, she has been promoted and is the nonprofit’s

new president and chief executive officer.

“It’s humbling to take on an organization that has a 60-year legacy in the community,” Pottmeyer said. “And I’m thrilled to be

doing the work that I do — which is making a difference for children.”

Pottmeyer began her new job on Aug. 1, succeeding Joan Campbell, who retired after holding the position

since 2009. The organization held a meet-and-greet event with Pottmeyer last Friday.

A Pennsylvania native, Pottmeyer moved to the Pacific Northwest when she

was a sophomore in college.

She transferred from the University of Pittsburgh to the University of Washington, where she earned degrees in business and law.

Pottmeyer said she is still a member of the Washington State Bar Association.

Despite her two degrees and “double Husky” status, Pottmeyer said she was hesitant to even apply for a job with FOY because her first job, chief programming officer, required a Master of Social Work (MSW).

“I applied despite not having an MSW because I cared so deeply about the work that Friends of Youth did with kids,” she said.

In its 60th year, FOY works with young people in challenging circumstances. According to the FOY website, their services include youth and family counseling, substance abuse counseling, in-home family support for young parents of newborns and parent education. The agency also works in foster care and runs the only overnight emergency shelter on the Eastside for young adults: The Landing, which is in Bellevue, serves individuals ages 18 to 24.

Pottmeyer said FOY mostly serves north and east King County and south Snohomish County, but they also have two sites in Seattle.

As the new president and CEO, Pottmeyer said it was important to have a smooth transition, which was made easier because she was already with the organization and everyone knew her.

She also said her personal goals for FOY align with the organization’s goals, which include becoming a regional leader in homeless services for youth and young adults; providing more direct services in Redmond such as showers, laundry, storage and social services; and creating a FOY campus that will become the heart of the organization.

With the latter, Pottmeyer said they want to move all of the agency’s administrative services — most of which are currently in the Together Center at 16225 N.E. 87th St. in downtown Redmond — into one building. And once that happens, she said that space in Redmond will open up to offer direct services.

Pottmeyer said FOY is currently in the process of purchasing property in Kirkland to move the [ more POTTMEYER page 13 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ POTTMEYER from page 12] administrative services.

Additionally, she said this campus will also be the site of a youth haven program for runaway and homeless youth younger than 18.

Pottmeyer said this will create additional transitional housing, which is desperately needed as FOY currently only has 65 units and a wait list of 250. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking for (a new campus) for over a year and a half,â&#x20AC;? Pottmeyer said.

With all of the services FOY provides, Pottmeyer said her favorite thing about being part of the organization has been seeing all the different ways they

DIGEST

NEWS BRIEFS CHURCH TO HOLD HEALTH SCREENINGS On Oct. 15, the Washington Cathedral at 12300 Woodinville-Redmond Rd. N.E. in Redmond will hold free cardiovascular screenings from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The screenings will be presented by the Health Resource Center (HRC) and conducted by Dr. Paul Huang, cardiologist and medical director of the Swedish Heart and Vascular Clinic and clinic medical staff.

The screenings will include checking vital signs, electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiogram, carotid ultrasound, scanning for abdominal aortic aneurysms for those older than 60 who are smokers and have diabetes, high cholesterol or comparable family history and an ankle-brachial index for smokers with aching lower legs while walking with diabetes or high cholesterol. Dr. Raymond Vath will be offer lifestyle counseling as well.

Appointments are not required.

HRC is a nonprofit foundation of the Washing-

help youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot that is so good about what we do,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Pottmeyer added that she has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special place in (her) heart for the teenage years,â&#x20AC;? which covers a lot of the work FOY does.

Despite all the help the agency provides, Pottmeyer said there are challenges.

One of the biggest ones she has faced during her time with FOY has been the economic downturn. She said they are serving more people in need with less money as they face budget cuts from the state on a regular basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not unique in that,â&#x20AC;? Pottmeyer said, referring to nonprofits struggling financially in general.

But instead of getting discouraged by this, Pottmeyer keeps pushing because she believes the work is worthwhile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it really fulfilling to help (young people),â&#x20AC;? she said.

In order for the facts to be applied, they must first be learned. Without proficiency in the basics, there can be no proficiency in the applications.

The Overlake volleyball team ran its overall season record to 8-3 with a 3-0 road sweep of Forest Ridge on Wednesday evening in a 1A Emerald City League matchup.

Game scores were 25-18, 25-14 and 25-19.

Offensive juggernaut Kirsten Parris slammed home a game-high 15 kills, and also had 11 service aces. Setter Vanessa Rosato recorded 21 assists and Carly Silvernale had 24 digs in the match.

The Qdoba-RHS partnership provides a safe venue for Redmond athletes, super-fans, students, boosters and parents to eat and spend time together.

The idea is to foster community spirit and celebrate field performance after each of the Redmond home games. “Last Friday night was just packed wall to wall with athletes, cheer team and students,” said Michelle la Cour, volunteer booster and mother of senior player Nikolaj la Cour.

After each game, the RHS cheer team decorates Qdoba for the evening festivities — win or lose — and meals are free for playing members of the football team and cheerleaders.

Everyone else gets any menu item for $5 and a free beverage. Qdoba is one of the Redmond Football Mustang halftime sponsors in addition to Evergreen Medical Center in Redmond, SWERVE driver training, Pellco Construction, Agave Cocina and Cantina and Garlic Jim’s.

BEAR CREEK VOLLEYBALL SLAMS CHIEF LESCHI Overlake forward Adrianna Gildner fires a shot against Northwest on Tuesday at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila. In the Owls’ 4-1 win, Gildner scored a goal, her league-leading 14th of the season, and also recorded two assists as the Owls improved to 10-0-0. TIM WATANABE, Redmond Reporter

Undefeated Owls flying high Second-half scoring surge powers Overlake past Northwest, 4-1 TIM WATANABE twatanabe@redmond-reporter.com

It was a true team effort on Tuesday afternoon at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, as the red-hot Overlake School girls’ soccer team broke away in the second half for a 4-1 victory over Northwest School.

Four different players scored for the Owls in the winning effort, which kept them atop the 1A Emerald City League standings at 8-0-0 in league play (10-0-0 overall), with Seattle Academy (7-1-0) close behind.

“Northwest is a dangerous team,” said head coach Sally Goodspeed.

“It’s always a good game between us and them, and I’m glad we came out on top.”

RENEWED INTENSITY In the opening minutes of the game, the matchup between the two teams looked to be a good one, as both teams shared time of possession and had early shots on goal.

Sophomore midfielder Karly Scheelar scored her first goal of the season in the 10th minute, off an assist from Adrianna Gildner, putting the Owls on the board.

Overlake was able to keep Northwest at bay until a strange turn of events in the closing seconds of the first half.

After a missed opportunity by the Owls in front of the Northwest goal, the Northwest School ran the length of the field and scored just seconds before the whistle blew to tie the game at the break.

“I wasn’t happy with the way we

Playing in a Sea-Tac 2B League match on Tuesday, the powerhouse Bear Creek School volleyball squad outmatched Chief Leschi 3-0 via game scores of 25-8, 25-3, 25-12.

Bethan Meyer led the offense with five kills, while Michele Brown recorded eight aces and had 13 assists as a setter.

With the win, the Grizzlies improved to 6-0 in league and 11-1-1 overall.

MUSTANGS FALL TO NO. 9 CEDAR PARK

Karly Scheelar (center), a sophomore midfielder for the Owls, celebrates with her team after scoring her first goal of the season in the first half of Tuesday afternoon’s 4-1 win over Northwest. Kerri Smith, Zoe Pinczower and Adrianna Gildner also scored for the Owls. TIM WATANABE, Redmond Reporter finished the half, to have a chance at one end and it turns into a goal for them, literally as the half was ending,” Goodspeed recalled. “It was a momentum swing.”

After a halftime pep talk, the Owls came out with a vengeance.

First it was Kerri Smith who launched a long goal from about 25 yards into the top corner of the net in the 43rd minute, and before Northwest had a chance to catch its breath, Gildner, a junior forward, drilled a shot in from the right wing two minutes later to give the Owls a 3-1 lead.

“We had to change that momentum in our favor, which I’m pretty happy with the way we did that,” laughed Goodspeed on her team scoring two goals in the first five minutes of the half. “It was some good teamwork and individual efforts.”

Freshman goalkeeper Catherine Cunningham had a fine game, making a leaping save midway through the second half on a well-placed free kick. Cunningham’s teammate, Zoe Pinczower, who shares time in goal with Cunningham, tacked on one more goal in the 62nd minute on what Goodspeed called a “great through ball,” cutting her shot in front of Northwest goalie Katie Fallon, who is leading the league with three shutouts.

The Owls’ ninth-year coach also credited her team’s defense with limiting the opportunities for Northwest’s dangerous, aggressive strikers.

“They have a couple of really good players on their team that they try to play through,” Goodspeed [ more SOCCER page 17 ]

Playing a nonleague exhibition match against the ninth-ranked 1A Cedar Park Christian Eagles on Tuesday night, the struggling Mustangs (0-5, 0-9) fell to the red-hot Eagles (9-1 overall) in three games, 25-11, 25-21, 25-22.

Redmond hitter Joy Zhang led the team with six kills and 18 digs, followed by Lauren Bogard and Heather Smith with five apiece.

Libero Justice Magraw had 32 digs for the Mustangs.

OVERLAKE TENNIS DEFEATS UNIVERSITY PREP The Overlake School boys’ tennis team beat University Prep in a rain-shortened 1A Emerald City League match 3-1 on Tuesday.

In singles action, No. 1 singles Trym Torvund defeated Bayard Blair 6-1, 6-0, and Grant Gibson won two close sets against Andy Paige 6-4, 6-4.

In doubles, Bob Gardner and Ethan Hayden came from behind to win their match and seal the team victory for the Owls, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.

Keeper Ashley Emery notched four saves for the Grizzlies, who improved to a 5-2-2 overall record on the season.

BEAR CREEK BOYS ROLL PAST PUGET SOUND ADVENTIST The Bear Creek School boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team ran wild against Puget Sound Adventist on Tuesday at home, winning 5-0 in a Sea-Tac 2B league game.

Luke Blankenbeckler opened up the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by a pair of Mark Phillips goals in the 19th and 43rd minutes.

Frank Sun and Jesse Leuenberger added scores in the second half and Michael Worley earned the shutout as Bear Creek improved to 5-0-1 in league play and 6-0-1 overall.

MUSTANG GIRLS SHUT OUT

BY GARFIELD On Tuesday night at Garfield High, the Lady Mustangs were unable to find the net in a 2-0 loss.

Garfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heather Kovar and Anna Duncan scored in the first half, as the Bulldogs were able to hold on for the win. The loss dropped Redmond, who played at home against Ballard on Thursday night after the Reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline, to 2-2-1 in 4A Kingco play and 3-4-3 overall.

BEAR CREEK SHUTS OUT FRIDAY HARBOR FOR FIFTH WIN Playing a nonleague exhibition match against Friday Harbor on Monday, the Bear Creek School girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team notched their fifth win of the season via a 1-0 shutout.

Elizabetta Udeschini scored the game-winner for Bear Creek, scoring in the 55th minute while her team outshot Friday Harbor 20-7.

OVERLAKE ROUTS EAGLES AT REDMOND RIDGE In an 1A Emerald City League golf match between Overlake and Cedar Park Christian Monday afternoon, the Owls got the upper hand as they handily won, 166-198.

Medaling for the Owls was Noah Mayer, firing a 3-over-par 38, followed by Danny Lee (42) and David Anderson and Jacob Kelley with 43s.

MUSTANG FOOTBALL OVERWHELMED BY NO. 4 SKYLINE Playing the 2010 4A state runner-up Skyline Spartans on their home turf, the Redmond High football team was outmatched 56-17 last Friday night in a 4A Kingco contest.

Behind a 15-for-19, 215-yard performance by Skyline quarterback Max Browne, who threw three touchdowns, the Spartans built up a 21-0 lead after the first quarter that was extended to 49-3 at halftime.

For Redmond, Chris Schumacher kicked a 35-yard field goal in the second quarter and the Mustangs reached the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, on a 15-yard pass from Brady Anderson to Jordan Hall and again on a 10-yarder from Zack Wheat to receiver Nikolaj la Cour.

The loss dropped the Mustangs to 0-2 in league play and 0-5 overall, and they take on Issaquah (01, 4-1) on Friday night at home, kickoff at 7 p.m.

Goodspeed also admitted that her team gets off to slow starts, as seen on Tuesday and also last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonleague exhibition game against Montesano, during which the Owls were not able to find the net until the 39th minute in an eventual 4-2 victory.

Breakfast is not an option for the caring kids, who survive off of only one meal day. Open trenches next to their hut-like homes serve as the sewer system.

The small classrooms are dark with no electricity, but packed with eager

students. And with a lack of educational resources and guidance, many children have to beg or prostitute for money.

All of that hit an emotional nerve with Lambert, a former teacher and member of the King County Board of Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids in the slum are stuck,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get an education unless a group outside helps provide them with the education so WorldComp has started two schools.â&#x20AC;?

Lambert visited both schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in the Kibera slums and another located in the Dagoretti slums. A former teacher for the Monroe School District, Lambert donated some of her teaching books and resources she had stored in

Despite their challenging lifestyle, the Kenyan people were very upbeat and polite, said King County Council member Kathy Lambert. Photo courtesy of Kathy Lambert her garage to the Lenana Primary School in Dagoretti. She said she plans to make a return trip next

Lambert also spent her time at the school reading to children, helping organize the library and working with the teachers, showing them tricks of the trade. She was there when WorldComp set up electricity for the first time at the school, so the students could see during their lessons.

Despite the dire situation, students flock to the tiny hutlike classrooms because they were eager to learn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and eat, according to Lambert.

Many of the children only get one meal a day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some beans and a banana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were literally in there like sardines,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said of the school conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no space for them, but they want to be there because they are safe, they are learning and

they get fed one meal a day and for many of these kids thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only meal they get during the day.â&#x20AC;?

Lambert is hoping to raise money to get the 350 children at the school in Dagoretti some breakfast food. Lambert, along with Woodinville resident Lucy DeYoung, is holding a pair of fundraisers to raise awareness of the struggles facing the Kenyan people.

Lambert will be conduct a slideshow at the Woodinville Heritage Museum Friday, Oct. 14 from 5-8 p.m. and another Saturday, Oct. 15 from 3-5 p.m. at the museum, located at 14121 N.E. 171st in Woodinville.

Lambert said she is hoping people will donate to the cause after seeing the images she captured during her trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We realize that there are many charity needs here too, but this will give people an opportunity to also support needs internationally,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said of the fundraisers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support will go directly to the school to help feed the children who mostly get only one meal a day.â&#x20AC;?

During her trip to Africa, Lambert visited the Shikusa Boys Detention Center, where hundreds of teens live and work on a farm,

The King County Council member and Redmond resident saw firsthand the poverty and challenges facing children and families in the poor and primitive communities.

Lambert connected with WorldComp when her friends Richard and Valerie Vicknair, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders, urged her to go.

The couple, former head ministers at the Westside Church in Seattle according to Lambert, has made more than 25 trips to Kenya since 1979.

Originally an evangelistic mission, the organization widened their web and began helping with improving the societal, health and economic issues by working with Keyan nationals. Their projects include teaching literacy, feeding children, helping HIV/AIDS infected families, assisting widows through microfinance programs and working with juvenile offenders in rehabilitation efforts, like the one at the Shikusa Boys Detention Center.

Lambert said WorldCompâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts are making a big difference in the lives of these people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who â&#x20AC;&#x153;are happy with whatever you give them,â&#x20AC;? despite living in poverty and unhealthy conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They live so close to the edge of life and death on a daily basis that they are so appreciative to see you,â&#x20AC;?

On Oct. 14, Overlake Terrace Assisted Living and Independent Living in Redmond will hold a Shave-a-Thon in support of breast cancer research.

The event is in its third year and was started by David Standring, personal preferences coordinator at Overlake Terrace.

Standringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Ann died of breast cancer in 2007 at age 47. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As time passed, I wanted to do something to show my appreciation to such a great sister,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Standring created a team for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Passionately Pink for the Cureâ&#x20AC;? program, which is a fundraising opportunity for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a foundation dedicated

to funding breast cancer research and educational programs in local communities. This year, Standringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Razors @ Overlake Terrace 2011.â&#x20AC;?
