The Redmond City Council approved a development plan for a 28-acre parcel that will add more residential and commercial space in the Overlake neighborhood with a 6-to-1 vote at a special meeting Tuesday night.

The site located at 2464 152nd Ave. N.E. is owned by Group Health Cooperative (GHC) and was previously the campus for Group Health Overlake Hospital before it closed in 2008. Plans feature a mixed-use area with residential and business buildings that would include up to 1,400 residential units and 1.4 million square feet in office and retail space as well as a 180-room hotel/conference center and a 2.67-acre park.

In approving the plan, Council also okayed an exception to a city code that requires new developments to retain at least 35 percent of the trees onsite.

The GHC plan calls for all 1,133 trees onsite to be removed, which raised concerns among residents and community members. The concerned parties spoke at Tuesday’s meeting as well as the Dec. 6 Council meeting, urging Council to not grant GHC the exception.

“This will be a tremendous loss to the community,” Yvonne Wang told Council members during the public hearing portion of Tuesday’s meeting.

Wang is a member of Sustainable Redmond — an organization that encourages sustainability within the city — and also spoke out on the issue last week. During her testimony on Tuesday, she told Council that granting an exception to the 35-percent rule would not be consistent with the vision for the Overlake community and would be detrimental to the public as they would be losing one of the last — if not the last — urban forests in Redmond.

Council member Kim Allen also voiced her concerns about removing all of the trees onsite. As the only Council member to vote against the plan, she said initial discussions and plans called for

With Christmas just around the corner, Santa and Buddy the Elf are at it again, spreading holiday cheer around Redmond SLIDESHOW ONLINE neighborhoods. Redmond Fire Apparatus Program Supervisor Doug Jones (Santa) along with the help of Redmond Fire Mechanic www.redmond-reporter.com Brian Barrett (Buddy the Elf) and other city and community volunteers are cruising around Redmond neighborhoods in a vintage GMC fire truck in the days leading up to Christmas. On Monday, members of Boy Scout Troop 570 got a chance to ride along in the tour, which is part of the “Santa in the Neighborhoods” food and toy drive. Sitting behind Santa are boys scouts Michael Gengo (left) and Andrew Peterson (hand raised). The food and toy drive is sponsored by the Redmond Firefighters’ Union. So far, the drive has raised more than $1,000 in cash donations and a “sleigh full” of toys, clothing and canned food.

The union will donate $500 to the cause also, Jones said. The drive benefits Redmond-based Hopelink, a regional human services organization. The Santa tour will continue tonight in Central Education Hill. The tour will continue on Saturday (North Education Hill) and Sunday (Rose Hill/south Redmond) and conclude on Monday in a neighborhood to be determined, according to Jones.

Redmond man charged with vehicular homicide MATT PHELPS Reporter Newspapers

A Redmond man was charged with vehicular homicide and reckless driving on Monday for striking and killing a Kirkland bicyclist.

Nathan Jeremie Godwin, 26, struck Bradley Nakatani, 36, with his SUV while the Kirkland man was riding a bicycle in the early morning of Dec. 8 at the intersection of 132nd Avenue Northeast and Northeast 124th Street in Kirkland near the Redmond city limits.

Godwin was arrested on suspicion of DUI. He posted a $500,000 bail and was released from jail after his first court appearance last Friday.

If convicted, Godwin faces between 3648 months in prison.

Godwin, a convicted felon, has an extensive driving record, including more than a dozen traffic violations for speeding, disobeying road signals, failure to stop at signals and reckless endangerment.

“This is a very busy hub,” said Kirkland Police spokesman Lt. Mike Murray on Dec.

QFC Meat Donations Help the Hungry Meat is one of the few sources of wholesome, nutritious protein in food pantry visitors’ diets. But for many food pantry visitors, meat is something that rarely is put on the table.

Food pantries that serve the hungry often don’t have the resources to provide meat to the people they serve.

However, for several years now QFC has been able to help these agencies by donating wholesome meat products that no longer meet our standards for appearance or freshness. Last year, QFC donated 560,000 pounds of meat to food pantries in Washington and Oregon. This is part of QFC’s Grocery Rescue program. “Healthy food is important for everyone, but particularly so for low-income people suffering from illnesses, as well as children and seniors. QFC meat donations enable people to maintain healthier lifestyles and give people the energy everyone needs to care for themselves and their families,� says Food Lifeline Grocery Rescue Program Manager Laura Johnson.

QFC stores are allowed to donate any meat product in good condition that is frozen on or before the date on the package. This can include beef, poultry, pork, and seafood, as well as pre-packaged meats such as fully cooked lunch meats and hot dogs.

When meat products no longer meet QFC’s standards for selling to our customers and become eligible to be donated, it is critically important that we maintain safe handling and storage procedures. There are very real cross contamination risks when handling meat. For that reason, we keep all meat donations separate by species while awaiting pickup. We use plastic tubs provided by Oregon Food Bank and Food Lifeline; the bins nest and stack and help us to separate meat by species in our meat freezer. All meat donations are frozen solid before leaving the store.

Practices we follow before donating meat products include: freezing to 0o Fahrenheit on or before the date on the package and separating the

meat by species.

A Food Lifeline agency that participates in the Grocery Rescue program says, “Thanks for the food you give to those in need. We are seeing an increasing need in our community and you are a big part of why we can help.�

By donating product that doesn’t meet our selling standards, QFC helped our neighbors and friends in

Western Washington and Oregon feed their families. This helps people get back on their feet after experiencing challenges like losing their homes or jobs.

Do you have questions about donations? Need additional info? Want to volunteer at a local food pantry? If so, please contact Ken Banks at 425-4622205.

For women who want a break from the hustle and bustle of a mall or shopping center but still want to find that perfect sweater or pair of jeans, a new boutique in downtown Redmond offers an alternative.

Olive at 7975 Leary Way N.E., which opened last month, carries “casually chic” contemporary clothing, accessories, jewelry and gifts for the Redmond woman.

The store was moved to downtown from its former Redmond Ridge location by owners Kerrie Lynn Wilton and Michele Fox after a two-year search for space. The two women said they are moving their entire operation to downtown and their Redmond Ridge store at 23535 N.E. Novelty Hill Road will close on Dec. 24.

“We wanted to be down here,” said Wilton.

One of the main reasons for the move was she and Fox wanted Olive to be more of a boutique rather than a store and offer customers a more personal, one-on-one shopping experience. And with about 300 square feet of space, versus the 1,400 square feet on Redmond Ridge, they are able to do so.

“We want to have a relationship with our customers,” Wilton said.

She said this means they will send items to customers if they are unable to come into the store, put items on layaway and even keep their store open beyond regular hours if a customer lets them know they might not be able to make it in before closing.

Fox added that with a smaller space, they can hone

in on what they want to carry rather than have pieces in the shop just to take up room.

She also said because of their smaller operation, customers will find more unique items that would not be found in department stores.

“Just pop in and see how cute it is in here,” she said.

Because of this Fox and Wilton said Olive is the shop to visit to find specific items.

“It’s not a one-stop shop,” Wilton said.

Olive initially carried more high-end items, but Wilton said there was not much demand as their customers were in search of more casual-but-trendy product that they could wear in their everyday lives.

Olive’s items range from about $50 to $150. Jeans may run a little higher at around $180.

The brands Olive carries include AG Denim, Analili, Charlotte Tarantola, Free People, Mystree, Red Haute, Urban Behavior, Wildfox and Yoon.

Both Wilton and Fox said being downtown has allowed them to create personal relationships with their fellow business owners in the area, which they have really enjoyed as everyone has been very welcoming.

“It’s exciting to be down here,” Wilton said. “There’s a different energy down here.”

Wilton and Fox both said they had frequented other businesses downtown before they opened their store, but having their own business now makes them feel even more part of the community.

They added that they and their customers from Redmond Ridge actually find the new location more convenient as it is close to other shops and restaurants.

Wilton said they would not have been able to open Olive downtown five years ago when they first started as the area was more deserted.

But since downtown has been revitalized, more and more small businesses have been opening and Wilton said she feels this is what people want — a more unique and personal shopping experience.

Wilton and Fox have lived in the Redmond and Redmond Ridge area for 30 and 23 years, respectively.

They met about 18 years ago through their children, who have gone to school and grown up together. Both of their youngest kids are graduating from Redmond High School this year.

The two best friends went into business together in 2006 when they opened Olive on Redmond Ridge. The idea came when Wilton, who was a representative for a high-end clothing line at the time, wanted to open a store.

Despite warnings from others about going into business with a friend because it could ruin their relationship, she asked Fox to be her partner. After five years, Wilton and Fox are as close of friends as ever.

“It’s fun,” Wilton said.

“I think I talk to her more than I talk to my husband.”

In response, Fox laughed and said, “I know I talk to her more than my husband.”

Cold, frozen foods now available at Redmond Ridge QFC following fire

Cold and frozen foods will be available at the Redmond Ridge QFC as early as today following last Sunday’s fire that was sparked by an exterior generator and destroyed the store’s coolant systems, according to a QFC press release.

Many of the coolers and freezers at the store will be operational by mid Friday, when employees will begin restocking the units with fresh and frozen products.

The store has remained open on its normal 24-hour schedule while the company has been working to acquire replacement equipment.

The temporary replacement compressors will be phased in to allow the store to run 80-90 percent of its refrigerated and frozen units. The store will be fully operational and stocked by the middle of next week, the press release said.

Employees have been working around the clock to get the store’s coolant systems back online during the busy holiday season.

Council awards exception to Group Health’s mixed-use development plan saving some of the trees onsite.

She said there is a case to be made to preserve less than the required 35 percent, but not to remove 100 percent of the trees.

Allen added that she would like to see a legal analysis of the exception request. “I’m not going to support this,� she said during the Council’s discussion leading up to the vote.

Council member Hank Myers

said the GHC plans align with the City of Redmond’s goal for a pedestrian- and transit-friendly urban center in Overlake.

While the plan calls for all of the onsite trees to be eliminated, he pointed out that GHC has committed to plant mitigation trees offsite, including 10 acres before any work is done onsite. This will create a healthy, usable forest for residents to be excited about, Myers said.

Council member Hank Margeson added that the GHC plan goes beyond the city’s requirement to replace trees at a 1-to-1 ratio in the case of an exception as they have committed to a 3-to-1 mitigation plan.

All Council members emphasized the difficult decision they faced in approving the plan and granting the exception but most said removing the trees is necessary to establish Overlake

as a regional urban center and manage growth in concentrated areas while preserving Redmond’s established neighborhoods and rural areas. “For me, there’s no other choice than to support this,� Council member David Carson said.

Upon the Council’s decision, Cindy Jayne of Sustainable Redmond said, “We’re certainly disappointed in the outcome.�

Jayne said they appreciate the

opportunity to present their case to the Council, but would have liked to see more opportunity for input throughout the planning process.

Jayne added that Sustainable Redmond supports the GHC project overall and has a good working relationship with the City of Redmond — the two parties just happened to disagree on the particular issue of the trees.

backed up traffic for a mile on Northeast 124th Street as it is a main arterial through north Kirkland, with access to 405, the Totem Lake shopping area and Redmond. Metro buses also had to be rerouted.

Police said the cyclist was heading home from work, traveling west on Northeast 124th Street and turned left to go south on Slater Ave. when the SUV, traveling east, struck the man.

There was one passenger in the SUV, who advised Godwin to go back to the scene after they had traveled about a block, according to police documents.

Kirkland police responded at 2:50 a.m. to the fatal traffic collision. The man on the bike was wearing reflective clothing, lights and a helmet. “He had quite a bit of reflective gear,� said Murray. “He had a light on his helmet and bike and a very large backpack.�

Nakatani’s sister and father showed up at the scene a few hours after the accident.

Godwin told police that Nakatani appeared to be veering into his lane and that he swerved in an at-

tempt to avoid the collision.

He initially stated that he had not consumed any alcoholic beverages, but later told police that he had consumed an alcoholictype beverage he called “Jeremiah Weed Iced Tea,� as well as two glasses of champagne, other alcoholic beverages and smoked a marijuana “blunt.�

He also admitted that when he woke up at 9 p.m. on Dec. 7 he took Lexapro and Suboxone, which he uses to treat his opiate addiction.

Police said that Godwin agreed to a voluntary fieldsobriety test, of which he did not perform well and was unable to complete certain parts.

The suspect also produced a blood-alcohol sample of .078 at 3:34 a.m., at least 45 minutes after the accident. The legal limit in Washington State is .08.

Godwin’s arraignment is set for Dec. 22 at the King County Courthouse.

About 100 friends and family gathered at the intersection to pay respects to Nakatani on Friday afternoon.

He was a software engineer at Redmond’s Alston Grid and was heading home from work when he was killed.

A SEASON WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS Redmond man banned from wearing Santa suit during his Postal Service route look he lacks is the portly figure, after losing 95 pounds.

McLean has brought his alter ego to Bellevue's most popular Christmas attraction, Snowflake Lane, where he took his family a few years ago. He said they were pushed aside as 50 people lined up to take pictures.

He's also been a big hit at the Aegis Living of Bellevue senior center. He visits regularly as both Santa and mailman. The residents know him well, and are always excited when Santa knows their name, he said.

But only a few days after Thanksgiving this year, he was pulled off his route by a supervisor saying someone had complained about the uniform. He didn't know

who he had upset, or why the complaint happened.

"This was the first time; I don't know what happened," he said. "I don't step on anyone's toes. Being Santa isn't religious to me; it's secular.

It's about giving."

USPS spokesman Ernie Swanson said the complaint came from a fellow carrier.

McLean is still shocked over the outcome. He sees carriers wearing Christmas gear all the

While dreams of Santa popping down the chimney on Christmas Eve to deliver presents were extinguished for most during childhood, a select few Bellevue residents have seen Saint Nick trade in his sleigh for a mail truck.

Until now.

For more than a decade now, letter carrier Bob McLean, who lives in Redmond, has driven around Bellevue each holiday season, delivering a little Christmas cheer while wearing a full Santa getup. But this year, a local grinch complained to the U.S. Postal Service, and McLean has been banned from bringing his alter ego to work this year.

"The government is shutting me down because it's a non-postal regulation uniform," said McLean, who has been with the Postal Service since 1971.

McLean began donning the red and white when a stranger at the mall told him he looked like Santa Claus.

Always the crowd pleaser, McLean took to the comparison, went out and bought a suit, and then another.

When he first started delivering mail in full Santa garb, McLean immediately noticed the attention. He said he's caused traffic jams

on his route on Old Main as passing drivers attempted to catch a glimpse. Merchants along his route have watched for years as McLean has been the center of attention to tourists and residents alike.

"They stop him on the corner and want group pictures with him," said Brenda Archuletta, manager of Amore Chocolates.

"Little kids – they just stare because they wonder."

They wonder because he fits the character. Every bit Kris Kringle, McLean sports a white beard and a tuft of long white hair. Looking the part is no easy effort, either. He dyes his blond hair, and keeps a careful eye on the calendar when he trims the beard.

Dead letters It’s no surprise that the U.S. Postal Service is in serious financial trouble

W

Question of the week:

“Do you plan to spend more money this year than last year on holiday gifts?”

?

Vote online:

hen a business is facing $2.1 billion in debt, it’s natural that it will make dramatic changes. The U.S. Postal Service is no exception.

Thus, there should be little surprise that it plans to close or consolidate as many as 677 post offices throughout the country, with approximately 250 set for full closure.

Here in Redmond, the Postal Service plans to close the downtown location next May and consolidate all of its services to its other location in east Redmond at 7241 185th Ave. N.E. For the U.S. Postal Service, these are dire times – and they are unlikely to get better.

The Associated Press reports that Postal Service lost $5.1 billion in the past year. In 2012, it’s facing a record $14.1 billion shortfall and possible bankruptcy.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. In fact, the price of stamps will increase to 45 cents, a one-cent increase, starting Jan. 22, bringing in $888 million in additional revenue, according to Postal Service officials.

By 2015, the Postal Service must reduce its operating costs by $20 billion, according to David Williams, vice president, Network Operations. As it does this, expect to see changes.

The Postal Service is proposing that the standard for delivering First-Class Mail will become two to three days for contiguous U.S. destinations. There’s also talk of eliminating Saturday delivery, but that’s not on the chopping block – yet.

The problem confronting the Postal Service shouldn’t come as a surprise. More and more of us have turned to the Internet to keep in touch with one another and fewer and fewer of us are using the Postal Service to send First-Class Mail.

For the Postal Service, that’s a catastrophe. First-Class Mail is the biggest money-maker for the Postal Service, but such revenue has fallen 25 percent over the past decade. More and more, mailboxes are filled with “junk mail.”

The Postal Service also has committed self-inflicted wounds: high labor costs. Reports say that salaries and benefits make up about 80 percent of the Postal Service budget. Compare that

with FedEx, which reportedly spends 43 percent of its budget on labor, and UPS, which spends 63 percent.

Why are the Postal Service labor costs so high? Big salary increases and no-layoff clauses.

And, let’s not forget the role of Congress in all of this.

Though the Postal Service doesn’t get any public dollars, it still is subject to congressional whims. For example, there’s a Senate and House version of a bill dealing with Saturday delivery. Many people are betting that the two houses won’t come to an agreement, meaning that Postal Service problems are likely to continue.

that a Democrat is in the White House. They are now unapologetically obstructionist.

In addition to blocking Cordray's nomination, Republicans are holding up many judicial nominations – like that of Caitlin Halligan, who President Obama tapped to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit more than a year ago.

Halligan's nomination, along with many others, remains in limbo because Republicans refuse to permit it to come up for a vote. There are now so many court vacancies that the quality of court proceedings in many areas of the country – particularly the southwest – is suffering. Judges are resorting to putting civil cases on hold so they can get through criminal cases. And it seems there is no help in sight.

When he campaigns for re-election next year, President Obama is sure to make our “do-nothing” Republican Congress his foil. (Republicans have outright control of the House, and de facto control of the Senate, thanks to the threat of the filibuster).

But he won't be the only one telling the story of how the Party of No refused to work with him Andrew Villeneuve

FROM THE ROOTS

I

t seems that Congress has never been more unpopular than it is right now.

Almost a year after it first convened, the 112th Congress has, in the eyes of most Americans, made virtually no progress towards solving our nation's problems. Most of the days the House and Senate have been in session this year have been dominated by gridlock and bickering instead of harmony and cooperation.

The last few weeks have been no exception.

For instance, Republicans have stubbornly refused to allow the U.S. Senate to vote on Richard Cordray, President Obama’s choice to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Without a permanent director, the bureau cannot exercise much of the authority granted to it under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act – which means it cannot do its job of protecting American families.

Only a few years ago, with the backing of their amen corner on Fox, Senate Republicans insisted that George W. Bush's nominees be given an “up or down vote." But they've changed their tune now

to advance the common good and strengthen our common wealth.

Democratic congressional candidates like Elizabeth Warren will also be telling that story as they campaign against Republican incumbents like Scott Brown.

November 2012 is nearly a year away, but already Warren – who came up with the idea for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and took the lead in putting it together — has moved ahead of Brown in the polls. And this has Republicans rattled. Karl Rove's “Crossroads GPS” front has lately been buying up airtime in Massachusetts media markets to air completely dishonest attack ads.

At first, Rove and his operatives tried to paint Warren as sympathetic to the Occupy movement.

But apparently that didn't work, because incredulously, their newest ads try to tie Warren to Wall Street.

That's right, Wall Street. Never mind that Wall Street can't stand Warren and will likely spend huge sums opposing her candidacy.

The sleazy attack ads Rove is orchestrating against Warren are just the beginning. Rove's operation and others like it plan to spend hundreds of millions of dollars next year putting falsehoods and innuendo about Democratic candidates

across the country on television and in mailboxes - including Jay Inslee and Maria Cantwell.

But Democrats know what Rove's “Crossroads GPS” front is capable of, having seen it in action in 2010.

So while Rove and his operatives plan more attacks, Democrats will be laying the groundwork to respond forcefully.

Unfortunately, what this portends is an unprecedented political air war and mailbox assault that will be difficult for any of us to escape.

Thanks to the Supreme Court's “Corporations United” ruling, there are no longer limits on what an outfit like “Crossroads GPS” can raise and spend on electioneering. Even worse, they can obfuscate where they're getting their money. The DISCLOSE Act, which was before Congress last year, would have mitigated this situation. Sadly, Republicans united against it and it never reached President Obama's desk. It looks like we're going to have to change Congress before we can change how we elect members of Congress.

City Council unanimously approves long-range strategy plan Vision Blueprint will help city with future planning, budgeting SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Redmond City Council unanimously approved a new document that will help with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgeting process, investment decisions and strategic actions for the future.

Vision Blueprint: Redmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capital Investment Strategy, 20132030 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also known as VB or CIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is an initiative for the city that can be considered a hybrid between planning and budgeting

as it links the two processes.

Pete Sullivan, a senior planner in the long-range planning group for the City of Redmond, said VB looks 18 years into the future to 2030 (lining up with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Plan) and examines the steps required to support the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision as well as what these steps would cost. VB looks at Redmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital project and program needs in various areas such as transportation, parks, utilities and public safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this is a first for Washington state,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sullivan added that VB exceeds the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements for jurisdictions to have capital facility plans included in their comprehensive plans and a six-year

finance plan with a balanced budget. He said Redmond meets these requirements in other areas. As a result, the city has more flexibility to make changes and adjustments with VB, which summarizes the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital investment needs and estimated revenues through 2030.

Sullivan said the challenge of looking so far into the future is that there is less certainty about which projects can be done as well as what they will actually cost. However, VB is beneficial to city staff as they can take a more holistic look at all of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs for the future and get a better understanding of hidden costs such as maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to be smarter in prioritizing what we do,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said.

He said just focusing on the near future can lead to missing these hidden costs, which leads to financial troubles for cities as they try to play catch up with maintenance.

Sullivan also said VB allows the city to see the interrelationships among departments under one umbrella. This allows them to coordinate projects better to save time and money. Additionally, VB gives the city a look at which projects are more straightforward in implementing and which would require policy change or coordinating with regional agencies.

With the latter, VB would allow the city to take strategic actions when and where needed.

VB would allow Redmond to

Happy Holidays

examine its capital funds and project needs and strategically set aside money for where it is needed.

At Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special meeting, when Council approved the document, President Richard Cole said this would demonstrate to the public that the city is conscientious in how it spends the its money. He added that taxpayers would also be more willing to vote for a capital bond or levy measure if they saw the city setting aside money for capital projects ahead of time.

The total cost of all the project needs for Redmond through 2030 is estimated at $1 billion, but the projected revenue is $600 million, leaving a $400 million gap. [ more VISION BLUEPRINT page 9 ]

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as a surprise,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said.

He said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision is ambitious and staff will need to be creative in implementing it. VB gives them numbers to work with, so they can be wiser in their planning and decision making.

Council member Pat Vache said identifying funding gaps also allows the city to examine why it exists and strategize how to bridge it.

Before approving VB at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special meeting, Council approved the initial scope of work this past spring.

Sullivan said the goal was to complete the document before the end of the year so staff and council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as the public â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could use it as a tool

during the upcoming Budget

by Priorities (BP) process.

He added that the plan is to update VB every other year, so the document can continue to inform Council, staff and the public during future budgeting processes. This process keeps projects that have been budgeted as well as those that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been budgeted for on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radars, streamlining the learning and relearning process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a lot to chew on during the budgeting process,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione said creating VB was added to Sullivan and his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workload, which already included the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They deserve a lot of the credit that happened behind the scenes,â&#x20AC;? Marchione said.

MUSTANG OFFENSE STYMIED BY SKYLINE After scoring 82 points last Friday against Eastlake, the Redmond boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive production was nearly cut in half against the tough No. 3 Skyline team, losing 58-44 to the Spartans at home on Tuesday night. The Spartans outscored the Mustangs in each quarter, and held Redmond to just eight fourth-quarter points to secure the victory.

For Redmond, Conner Floan and Jason Harrington led 15 and 12 points respectively. The Mustang boys fell to 1-2 in 4A Kingco league play and 3-2 overall.

On the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side, the Mustangs were outmatched by Skyline as well on Wednesday night, 52-23. The Spartans scored 34 first-quarter points while holding Redmond to just a free throw in the second quarter in the rout. Kelsey Dunn scored a team high eight for Redmond, with Lauren Bogard and Makaela Hayward pitching in six each as the team dropped to 1-2 in league and 2-3 overall.

REDMOND HIGH WRESTLING AT A GLANCE

twatanabe@redmond-reporter.com

The 2011-12 varsity wrestling season could easily be seen as a sort of rebuilding year for the Mustang program, but not in the eyes of head coach Paul Mullen.

Last year, Redmond graduated girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standout Catherine Kelly, the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only three-time state participant, along with Joe Glass, who won a match at the Mat Classic last February.

This year, with no state returners currently on the roster and a number of sophomores who have jumped into starting slots, the Mustangs have raw talent that Mullen, and team captains Brandon Long and Eli Grady, hope to refine into a competitive group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very young,â&#x20AC;? Mullen admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie (Glass) broke his foot, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of hurting us, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a few good returners and a lot of young kids. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good group to work with, their attitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real good, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working very hard.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mustangs are spread very thin, with most weights only having one qualified varsity starter, including Glassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 195 division.

Along with injuries, seasonal illnesses have taken their toll on the shorthanded squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got everybody, we actually cover every weight except 106,â&#x20AC;? Mullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody gets hurt â&#x20AC;Ś gets sick or has a grade problem, it hurts us more than in the past.â&#x20AC;?

The team favorite to make a run at the Tacoma Dome this season is Brandon Long, who overcame injuries late last season to earn an alternate spot.

The 132-pounder is the last of three brothers (Jason and Trevor Long) to wrestle for the team, and is currently 3-1 with two pins in league matches this season.

In addition, Grady, a junior co-captain, has been wrestling well and holds the school record for the fastest pin in history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in seven seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think (Long) has got a good

KEY NEWCOMER

3FENPOE TFOJPS DBQUBJO Brandon Long, wrestling at 132, puts a hold on Inglemoorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Mydske during a league match last week. Long, a state alternate last year who has a 3-1 record this season, pinned Mysdke in 5 minutes, 3 seconds. MATT CAMPBELL, www.sportspixs.com shot to make it,â&#x20AC;? Mullen said on his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state meet hopes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As coaches say, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys with potential, but they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realized it yet so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say. Eli Grady has a shot.â&#x20AC;?

Out of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many sophomores, the best-looking early on is Marcio De Faria, wrestling at 138, who was a champion at the junior high level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are starting sophomores at 113, 120, 126, and 138,â&#x20AC;? listed Mullen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marcio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough being varsity as a sophomore but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten quite a few pins, and some losses, this season.â&#x20AC;?

On Monday in a double-dual against Ballard and Franklin, the team came back after getting routed

by Inglemoor and Issaquah the week before and won by a large margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got better, we wrestled more aggressively,â&#x20AC;? said Mullen.

Added Grady, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see the improvement from match to match.

Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better, learning what do, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re winning more.â&#x20AC;?

Grady and Long said that they are trying to instill the wrestling values of hard work and prepara-

tion in the young kids, helping them understand that they will get out of wrestling what they put in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning quick and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying hard,â&#x20AC;? said Long, noting that technique and conditioning are focus points in practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of guys need to understand that three periods (in a match) is a long time, and a lot of work.â&#x20AC;?

As usual, the Kingco league is paired up with the stacked South Puget Sound League for the regional championships, which will make a state berth that much more difficult, but the team is confident that they can advance a solid number of wrestlers, at least to the regional tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see all of these guys do well in Kingco, because I think they can,â&#x20AC;? Long said confidently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to improve this season.â&#x20AC;?

And as for being a postseason threat, Mullen cited the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Improve the team, improve yourself,â&#x20AC;? saying that all he can ask for is to see improvement at every match, and at the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, let the chips fall where they may.

AT THE NEXT LEVEL Catherine Kelly, RHS Class of 2011, is currently wrestling, on a partial scholarship, for the Jamestown College womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team in North Dakota.

COACHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very young this year with only five seniors. Had hoped for a bigger turnout, especially from the football team. Group I do have is very enthusiastic, have been very coachable and hard workers so far and the group as a whole is a pleasure to work with. We may suffer from not covering all the weight classes, but it will be fun to see what this group can accomplish.â&#x20AC;? Â&#x2030; $PBDI .VMMFO

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to how hard they want to work,â&#x20AC;? said the 19th-year coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough for all of Kingco to get guys to state. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what we can do, and take little victories where we can.â&#x20AC;?

...HEALTHY LIVING

Intensify your workouts by using one of the superset strategies Plus, most folks consume far too little fiber anyway, so juicing is just going to exacerbate this problem. Bottom line: Save your money and stick with whole fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

Myrissa Yamashiro is the club owner and certified personal trainer at Anytime Fitness at Redmond Ridge. To submit a question for future articles, e-mail redmondwa@ anytimefitness.com or call (425) 898-1199.

vegetables are processed.

If you add in the research that shows that fiber may provide much of the health benefits attributed to fruits and vegetables, we have a problem here.

I would argue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better to eat fruits and vegetables. That way, you will be assured of getting all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber in fruits and vegetables.

Question: Is it wise to include supersets in my workouts and, if so, what are the advantages?

Answer: Supersets involve performing two exercises back to back with little or no rest in between.

And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to change up your workouts a bit, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely worth a try.

There are numerous superset variations, but the most common types would be same muscle supersetting or antagonistic supersetting. As the name implies, same muscle supersetting incorporates two different exercises for the same muscle group. For example, one set of dumbbell chest presses could be followed by barbell incline press.

Antagonistic supersetting involves opposing muscle groups, so you might combine biceps curls with triceps extensions, again with no rest in between sets.

No matter what type of supersetting you engage in, there are three obvious advantages to utilizing this method of training.

First of all, doing supersets saves time, which is clearly advantageous when people want to get in and get out. It also allows an individual to train at a higher intensity, which can produce better results in the long run. And lastly, because supersetting allows for increased workout intensity without using very heavy weights, the likelihood of injury decreases significantly. Give â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em a try and see what you think!

Question: A couple of my friends have recently started juicing. What are your thoughts?

Answer: Juicers are quite popular these days, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my take on the whole juicing phenomenon. Occasionally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet people that just hate fruit and vegetables. They pretty much avoid them altogether. But interestingly, a few of these individuals have said that juicing seems to work for them.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have a problem drinking their fruits and veggies. If this is the case for you or someone you know, I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;go for it.â&#x20AC;? However, we need to remember that most juicers remove virtually all of the fiber as the fruits and

pose â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and as with all yoga exercises, start very gently and work your way into it.

One very important thing to remember is, keep your wallet out of your back pocket! Most people who come to me with sciatica pain suffer needlessly because they keep sitting on their wallets. This creates an imbalanced pelvis and sit bones, which in turn tightens up the muscles in the buttock region.

This simple trick can really provide a lot of relief.
