City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione encourages guests attending the annual breakfast of Youth Eastside Services (YES) to donate to the nonprofit and help local young people facing various issues including substance abuse, depression, physical or sexual abuse, suicidal thinking and more. Keynote speaker Elizabeth Smart, an abduction survivor who is now an ABC News correspondent, shared her story of overcoming adversity as more than $520,000 was donated to YES through the event. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing community support,” said YES Executive Director Patti SkeltonMcGougan. “To have a place where all kids and their families can come for help is a key to a healthy community.” Photo courtesy of BAKER RAWLINGS

working with the organization since she was 18. Her parents were dealing with addiction and “didn’t value school at all for (her),” so Mercado began looking into different organizations and programs that could help her gain independence. Mercado found FOY on her own but she said she is a motivated person and went looking for help. She said not everyone will do this and some may not even know where to turn. Because of this, Mercado said events such as the FOY luncheon are important not just to raise money for the nonprofit, but to also raise awareness. Mercado began in FOY’s transitional housing program in Everett before being accepted into the permanent housing program. “I can remember it was
the best day of my life,” she said about learning about her acceptance into the program, adding that a scholarship she received that same day contributed to her happiness as well. Like Olsen, Mercado also discussed how much the people at FOY care and how her caseworker has been just as happy about her successes as Mercado has been. Mercado is now enrolled in Bellevue College studying radiology and plans to eventually transfer to the University of Washington. She also works as an administrative assistant at FOY. Pottmeyer said the staff at FOY such as Mercado’s caseworker and Olsen’s cook are one of the reasons the organization can provide the services they do. “I’m humbled to work with them, all 175 of them, every day,” she said.

the Eighth District, which includes parts of Redmond – attended last week’s luncheon and said the event is especially significant for him as he grew up in a difficult family environment. There was domestic violence and as a result, he ran away and lived in his car for some time while attending Kent Meridian High School. “I know the story of being homeless,” Reichert said. It is because of this personal experience that he makes it a point to support youth services organizations and programs such as FOY. “I really get involved,” he said. “This is a passion of mine. You’ll always find me at these events.”
During her time on the Council the city approved the building of the Kirkland Performance Center, planned for the Kirkland Teen Center and acquired more land for parks. “We also brought a level of transparency to the budget,” said Eddy. Along with that transparency the Council decided not to raise property taxes the allowable amount. “You are tempting fate by always taking the allowable amount,” said Eddy. “If you don’t need it, you should’t take it.” The city also made a major change when it came to collective bargaining practices with city employees by instituting an interest-based bargaining system. But Eddy has also made it a point to not overstay her welcome. “I have learned how to make a difference but also how to step away,” said Eddy. She has been a member of the House Technology, Energy and Communication Committee for six years and is now a board member of the Pacific Northwest Economic Region, an association of Western states and Canadian provinces engaged in cross-border problem solving, including on energy
and infrastructure issues. Eddy would like to move on to help in modernizing the power grid when she is done in Olympia later this year. She said that with 64 power distributors in Washington state it will be difficult to transition to a smart grid. “Some (of the distributors) are forward thinking and some are not,” said Eddy, who added that she will not run for public office again. Eddy said she has not endorsed anyone for her seat in Olympia, saying: “I am going to encourage some people to look at it.” She has stayed true to her views, even if they do not run along the party line. That is what has drawn many of her constituents to her. “What I have enjoyed so much is when people come up and say, ‘I wish there were more people like you,’” said Eddy. “I am a bad Democrat, but I would be an even worse Republican.” Eddy’s future plans also include spending time with her family and traveling. She is married to professor Jon Eddy, currently director of the Asian Law Center at the University of Washington Law School, and has three children and two grandchildren.

Charchenko: The Overlake School’s ‘weatherman’ samantha pak
spak@redmond-reporter.com
Matthew Charchenko was about 6 and a half years old when he first became interested in weather forecasting. His family’s house was being repainted and they were staying in a hotel. There was nothing interesting on TV until Matthew landed on the Weather Channel. “It just clicked,” he said. Matthew is now 14 and his interest has never waned. In September 2011, the ninth grader from The Overlake School started an organization called GeoEnvironmental Atmosphere (GEA) with a friend from Pennsylvania. GEA focuses on correlating the geo-environmental and atmospheric sciences into one to forecast the weather throughout the United States. According to its website, GEA team members analyze the atmosphere and upcoming disturbances and then work to understand what effect this will have on the environment and landmasses. Matthew said the latter is important in weather fore-

For example, he said an area where the land is very saturated is more likely to flood during a rainstorm than an area that is not saturated. Before starting GEA
Matthew was part of another organization called AnalystWxCast, which also focused on weather forecasting but had less of an emphasis on the environment and landmasses. Matthew said forecast models usually look at the next 15 days, but look-
ing that far ahead is not very trustworthy because so much can change. He said trying to predict the weather closer to eight days in advance paints a more accurate picture, but there is still room for change. In Western Washington, Matthew said it can be
particularly difficult because the topography throughout is so varied with so many microclimates that a single hill could have four inches of snow at the top and only one at the bottom of the hill. “(Weather is) very hard to predict (here),” he said. While weather forecasting can be a challenge, Matthew finds it exciting. He said during the midJanuary snowstorm he would stay up late monitoring weather models. Matthew admitted that he spent his days off from school looking at weather models instead of playing in the snow. One of the things about forecasting that caught Matthew’s interest was how little things can cause big changes in the weather. He also likes that he is always learning something new. “It’s constantly a learning process,” he said. And Matthew plans to continue learning in the field as he plans to have a career in weather forecasting. “I am hoping to become a broadcast meteorologist,” he said.

Freedom of speech may be too ‘free’ for some politicians
A
fter my wife had heard the story about Rush Limbaugh’s disgusting and illtempered attack on Sandra Fluke, she asked if there was not some way to shut him up. The short answer, of course, is “no.” The right to free speech in this country is robust and well defended. Limbaugh surely has the right to say anything he wants, about anyone, within very broad limits. In this country forbidden speech only includes obscenity, defamation (slander and libel), incitement to riot and “fighting words.” All of these transgressions are open to interpretation and are difficult to prove. Hate speech, that is, impugning someone’s character on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc., is frowned upon in the US but is not illegal. Witness the weird sect that demonstrates at servicemen’s funerals; the courts have upheld their right to do so based on their right to free speech. I think they are revolting, mean-spirited, ill-informed, unchristian toads, and fortunately I have the right to say that in public. You can make stuff up and publish it as truth, if you dare. Here you are liable to run afoul of laws against defamation, which make it possible even for public figures to sue for damages. The tabloid press budgets settlement payments, to hedge against the probability that sooner or later some celebrity or other will bring suit against them for the lies they print. Obviously the economics favor the tabloids. The lies sell more than enough papers to make up for litigation losses. Politicians are always fair game, though, as any campaign will demonstrate. Recall the misfortunes of John Kerry, which put the word Richard Hill

tion. Limbaugh and his ilk prosper because not enough people do this, although everyone has the right. I used to listen to El Rushbo, as he likes to call himself, years ago, when he had not yet fully adopted the bombastic, massively egotistical persona he now displays. He was perceptive, well-informed and humorous then, one might say the diametric opposite of the ranter who delivered the intemperate blather against Ms. Fluke. I parted company with Limbaugh as he began to change and today find it difficult to understand his appeal. You can also refuse to buy the products or services of his sponsors, if he has any left. So, the next time you meet someone who professes to be a devoted Dittohead, you might want to ask him if he has all his marbles. Richard H.

“swiftboating” into the political vocabulary. The political maxim seems to be that if the facts do not suit your purpose, ignore them and make up a set of falsities that will. In the end it won’t make much difference, because most people do not use rational processes to decide for whom to vote anyway. (In case you want to challenge that statement, let me assure you that there is clear scientific evidence to support it.) There are other forms of speech that constitute criminal actions: it is illegal to reveal classified information or trade secrets without authorization, for example. Fraud is another. Suppose that I want to buy marbles from you, and you offer me a bag that you say contains 20 marbles for a price of $5. I give you the $5, then when I get home with the bag I count only 18 marbles. You have committed a fraud if you knew that you made a false statement. Defenses everyone has against the Rush Limbaughs of the airwaves: first, change the sta-
Two weeks ago we joined a bipartisan majority of state senators to present a long-term sustainable budget that doesn’t spend more money than the state expects to collect. This proposal not only addresses the remaining 16 months
left in the current two-year budget cycle, but also the next two-year budget cycle through mid-2015. Families and small businesses face serious consequences if they do not live within their means and plan for the future; state government is no different. We represent our constituents with the shared belief that education is the single most important
part of maintaining and improving our state. Since the initial Senate budget proposal, we have worked to restore not only all basic education funding but other key services as well. One of the programs for which we have been able to restore funding is called Working Connections Child Care; it helps educate our youngest children while allowing their parents
to pursue their own education or work goals putting them on a path to self-sufficiency. Like many of you, we were concerned about the education policy changes in the initial budget, but we also knew those concerns would be addressed before a final budget was approved. Despite the silence due to the lack of [ more EDUCATION page 5 ]

[ education from page 4] cooperation during negotiations, we have taken it upon ourselves to not waste time and instead used this past week to create solutions. Last Thursday morning, alongside many of our Senate colleagues, we released a new budget that addresses the concerns we had regarding support for education and programs that aid the most vulnerable. This updated Senate proposal is a viable approach that prioritizes long-term sustainability and restores all K-12 and higher education funding without making cuts to basic education or levyequalization payments, which keeps K-12 and higher education intact. The last thing our schools or colleges need is a shortsighted approach that guarantees yet another budget deficit next year. The House proposes to invent a “13th month” for accounting purposes and shove all our problems there. If that plan were approved, we would be looking at a projected $2.1 billion shortfall next year. A deficit of this magnitude would pose a dangerous threat to basic education and devastate higher education. We are working
together to shield the next generation from these attacks on their future. We are dismayed with the gridlock in budget negotiations; that’s why we stepped forward with a willingness to listen and lead. The House’s refusal to consider our initial proposal has left us perplexed and disappointed. It is our hope that this new bipartisan plan will finally bring about a desire to work together. We are firmly committed to delivering a budget that protects education and allows our state to live within its means now and in the future. We are confident that both chambers will work together to create a bipartisan plan a majority of lawmakers can support – a plan in which Washington residents can have confidence and one that still pursues the public’s core priorities, even during times of economic uncertainty. Sens. Joe Fain (R-47), Andy Hill (R-45), Steve Litzow (R-41) and Rodney Tom (D-48), serve on the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee, with Litzow as the ranking minority member. Tom chairs the Senate Higher Education Committee with Hill as the ranking minority member.

Oddly enough, adults may share a tooth-decay problem that is normally associated with infants. The common denominator is the behavior of bathing the teeth for long periods in sugary liquids. In the case of babies, “bottle mouth” is the decay that occurs as a result of bathing their teeth in bottle-fed sugary liquids (fruit juices, milk, and formula) as they sleep or latch on to their bottles. In the case of adults, “latte decay” occurs as a result of nursing either lattes or cups of coffee mixed with milk and/or sugar throughout the day. In either case, the constant exposure to sugar provides food for the bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) responsible for metabolizing carbohydrates and sugar into enamel-eating acid. If you drink a good deal of sugary beverages or snack on carbohydrate-rich foods, you may want to ask the dentist about fluoride rinses. The best way to prevent the buildup of sugars is through twice-daily tooth brushing and flossing as well as having cleaning visits based on a schedule recommended by your dental health care provider. Sugar can accumulate more easily in some individuals, requiring more frequent brushing, and dental visits. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we discuss your lifestyle and the impact on your oral health, and can recommend the best schedule for your regular dental checkups.

Redmond Arts Festival now seeking applicants reporter staff
Artists, craftsmen and designers in all categories are invited to submit an application for participation in Redmond Town Center’s 3rd Annual Arts Festival. The application deadline is April 1 and the three-day event will be June 22-24 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. In honor of the City of Redmond’s 100th birthday this year, artists submitting work for the festival are encouraged to also enter original artwork that commemorates Redmond’s Centennial and the artist’s connection to Redmond as a Washington local, Redmond resident or entrant. Anyone with a connection to Redmond in some way
is encouraged to create artwork and submit it for this portion of the festival. The top 25 submissions – as selected by the jury – will be featured in a special VALA Eastside Centennial Collection Gallery, hosted by the town center throughout the arts festival.

Starting with community conversations during Neighborhood Network meetings during the past two weeks, city staff and citizen volunteers are now crafting guidelines for Redmond’s next biennial budget. In 2008, the City Council and Mayor John Marchione instituted a process called Budgeting by Priorities (BP) in which staff and six citizen volunteer teams play an important role in guiding city budget proposals. Each team consists of a Redmond citizen volunteer and four city staff from various departments. The teams are integrating comments gathered at the neighbor-
hood meetings with the city’s six budget priorities to develop budget guidelines for each assigned priority. The priorities are: Business Vitality, Clean and Green Environment, Community Building, Infrastructure and Growth, Responsible Government and Safety. An additional team will focus on capital improvements. Byron Shutz, one of this year’s volunteers said, “Our city has so much more going on than many residents are often aware. The city leadership offers community members a surprising number of essential roles to actively participate in. This (budget team) contribution is one of the more visible
activities influencing the future policies and lifestyle environment in which we’ll reside and work.” The teams will report their recommendations for these budget guidelines to the mayor and the City Council later in March. Once reviewed and refined, these will be provided to city managers and supervisors to use in developing their budgets. More information about the city’s BP process can be found at www.redmond.gov/bp or by contacting Finance Director Mike Bailey at mebailey@redmond. gov or deputy Finance Director Malisa Files at mfiles@redmond.gov.

GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN?
588781
$0 Enrollment 590444

While even most vegetarians get enough protein from the food they eat, some seniors do not get enough protein in their diets to counter the effects of age-related muscle loss. It may be that they eat less or they experience difficulty chewing protein sources such as meat. In any case, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein for adults is 0.8 grams daily for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight, which translates into 56 grams of protein for someone weighing 154 pounds. Unfortunately, it is estimated that 40 percent of individuals over the age of 70 do not get that much protein. If so, seniors should make concerted efforts to drink protein shakes or eat protein-rich foods. P.S. Some research suggests that protein eaten at midday is best for muscle metabolism. PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING is pleased to present you with interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. We realize the extreme importance of providing the proper mix of vitamins and minerals in the meals and snacks that are provided to our senior residents. We serve a wide selection of tasty and healthy food options to appeal to our seniors. To learn more about what we offer, contact us today at (425) 869-2273.

New bakery offers an authentic French experience Le Rendez-Vous brings Parisian baked delicacies to Redmond samantha pak spak@redmond-reporter.com
Members of the Redmond community can now experience a bit of French culture without even leaving the city limits. From breads and quiches to croissants and tarts, Le RendezVous at 8918 161st Ave. N.E. in Redmond offers customers a variety of French pastries and baked goods prepared by owners Khalid and Nadia Kaskou. The brother-and-sister duo grew up in Paris and while they both have had careers in different fields and no formal culinary training, their family had always owned a bakery. So it was no surprise when they decided to open one in Redmond modeled after their parents’ bakery back home, which goes by the same name.
A FAMILY TRADITION
“We grew up in a bakery,” said Nadia, who began working the cash registers at age 10. “We were born literally in a bakery … It runs in the blood.” Nadia focuses on RendezVous’ savory dishes — mainly the quiches — and Khalid prepares the sweets and breads. “It reminds me of our teenager times,” Khalid said about running the bakery with his sister. In addition to working together again, another reminder of their adolescence could be the teasing that goes on between them as brother and sister never hesitate to joke with — and about — the other or give them a hard time. Khalid said one of the only differences from their parents’ bakery is that Rendez-Vous in Redmond is also a cafe and Nadia, who is in charge of the cafe, had to learn the barista business. In France, they said cafes and bakeries are usually two separate businesses. And while this differentiates their business from their parents’, Nadia and Khalid’s Rendez-Vous also differs from other bakeries in town as they mostly offer French specialities — although there are a few European and American treats thrown in the mix.
Khalid Kaskou prepares chocolate eclairs in the kitchen of Le Rendez-Vous, the French bakery in Redmond’s Bella Bottega shopping center, which he owns with his sister Nadia. The Kaskous grew up in Paris, where their parents owned a bakery with the same name. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
REMINDERS OF HOME
In addition to the pastries themselves, there are also a couple of differences in the preparation process. French recipes use a lot more butter but fewer ingredients overall. The Kaskous said a simplified recipe highlights the dish’s main ingredient without masking it with other flavors. Khalid added that everything is handmade and homemade and they use as many organic ingredients as they can. Nadia was the one who first had the idea to open a bakery. She’d moved to Redmond about four years ago when her husband was hired at Microsoft Corp. She said she missed having a local eatery where she could grab a quick lunch but was still “a little fancy but not too fancy and (with) a nice atmosphere, something you would have in Europe.” Nadia said she enjoyed the variety of local dining options but this was one option that was missing. Khalid followed his sister two years later and they began making their dream of a having local French bakery a reality.
Rendez-Vous opened in the Bella Bottega shopping center the day before Thanksgiving in 2011 and Nadia said they already have a growing group of regular customers. “We are surprised,” she said, adding that they have many French customers as well.
A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE
Connor Peavey was one such regular who eventually started working at Rendez-Vous. “(My girlfriend and I) came here 10 days straight … our goal was to try every single pastry,” he said. The 23-year-old Redmond resident said on every visit they would ask for macarons and it came to the point where the Rendez-Vous staff called them “Mr. and Mrs. Macaron” before learning their real names. It didn’t take long for Peavey to become part of that staff. He said after a couple of weeks of visiting Rendez-Vous he learned they had open positions and immediately applied for the job. He had been working at a cafe on the Microsoft
campus and put in his two weeks as soon as he was hired a few weeks ago. And Peavey has not looked back. “This is like a really cool atmosphere,” he said about his work environment. “(My coworkers are) just so nice to be with.” Peavey said everyone works very hard and does their job, but things are more laid back than at his previous job. This relaxed atmosphere has extended to the dining area among customers as Nadia said they are comfortable enough at Rendez-Vous to converse with the staff and even ask if they can move tables to dine outside on nicer days. Nadia said these types of moments and connections with her customers are what she loves most about running a bakery and hopes to share with others. “More than the food, you remember the moments,” she said about memorable dining experiences. “We sell memories and pleasure. It’s an experience, not just coffee. You come for the experience.”

Minna, a ranger for the state of Washington, says the exercises help him maintain the level of fitness his job requires. Amanda austin, For the Reporter uncomfortable position possible.” Manchester and her husband Scott weren’t satisfied with the local fitness offerings for their kids, so they decided to partner with Miriam Cardoso and her husband Justin Butler to create the environment they desired. Manchester said it was always Cardoso’s dream to own her own jiu-jitsu school. “My husband and I decided to partner with Miriam because we believed in her commitment to the sport and we loved how she treated her students,” Manchester said. Professor Miriam Cardoso -- as her students call her -- is a Brazilian native and began the sport in 2001 at age 15. After three months of training, she won Nationals for the first time. One year and seven more national titles later, Cardoso began competing at the international level and placed second in her first appearance. She earned her first-degree
black belt and five first-place world titles after that before opening Elite in Redmond. Now Cardoso, 26, works full-time at the Redmond gym where she teaches 12 clas,ses a week. On top of that, the mother of two is training for an upcoming world competition to be held in Long Beach, Calif., in June. Cardoso said teaching has helped improve her skills because she learns the finer details she knew only innately and never explicitly. “It is great to see students use techniques I taught them,” she said, noting that watching her students succeed makes her feel very proud of her work. Cardoso teaches alongside a team of recognizable names in the martial arts world. Head wrestling instructor Seungmun An has “so many accolades, it’s incredible,” Manchester said.

Overlake Hospital Medical Center will add an additional primary care clinic to its network with its new Overlake Medical Clinic at 16301 N.E. 74th St. in Redmond Town Center, which opened Monday. The clinic will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. “Overlake Medical Clinics are neighborhood clinics providing Eastside residents with better access to convenient and cost-effective medical care,” said Overlake chief medical officer and network development vice president Alan Ertle. “Each clinic is connected to our hospital’s acute care, emergency services, outpatient imaging, lab and affiliated specialist physicians, offering patients a full spectrum of medical services.” The primary focus of the Overlake Medical Clinics network, including the Redmond location, is to promote health and wellness.

The Redmond primary care clinic is Overlake’s eighth primary care clinic on the Eastside. The other seven clinics are scattered throughout Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah – with urgent care also available in Redmond at Creekside Crossing Shopping Center at 17209 Redmond Way, just off State Route 520. Redmond Urgent Care is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and offers on-site imaging services (CT, X-ray and ultrasound).

Mika and Minna Elo, a couple who recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from Finland, practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu five to six times a week. Minna, a ranger for the state of Washington, appreciates that the exercises help him maintain his fitness for work. Mika just loves to sweat. They have been coming to Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Family Fitness Center of Redmond since it opened at 17725 N.E. 65th St., Suite A-175 on Jan. 2, because of the “wonderful people,” Mika said. In addition to offering instruction in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and wrestling by internationally acclaimed teachers, Elite also offers Zumba classes, pee-wee jiujitsu classes for kids ages 3 to 6, and year-round wrestling training. The gym also offers a female-only jiu-jitsu course focused primarily on selfdefense. “We are so blessed by the diversity of our clients,” Elite co-owner Rachel Manchester said. Her students represent at least eight different native languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese and French. On April 1, Elite will host an open house and ribboncutting event beginning at 1 p.m. There will be demonstrations by the jiu-jitsu, wrestling and judo teams and the Zumba group. Rapidly gaining popularity in the United States, Brazilian jiu-jitsu is what Manchester calls the “gentle martial art.” It involves no striking or punching, but demands great strength and burns an average of 600 calories per hour, she said. “It may not look as fierce with jabs and punches like cardio kickboxing, but it’s constant work (and) pressure,” Manchester said. “It’s about using leverage and technique to put your opponent in the most

June Encarnacion, Elite’s head judo sensei, is a fourthdegree black belt, certified by the International Judo Federation and has more than 25 years of coaching experience. Andrew Solheim began his martial arts training with shito-ryu karate at age 10 before he took an interest in wrestling and judo and eventually jiu-jitsu. He earned his black belt in February of 2009 and now he oversees Elite’s other location in Everett, which opened in October of 2009 as an independent school. Last December, the two gyms cofounded the Elite name brand. Elite clients’ memberships extend to services at either gym. Seattle resident Tony Thome has two sons who take jiu-jitsu and judo classes, and he echoes Manchester’s praises about Elite’s staff. “If you want to be nationally competitive, you have that option,” he said. “However, it’s just as easy to do it for exercise.” Thome added that he likes that it is a family run operation -- as parents themselves, the owners are “very attentive to the needs of other working parents.” Manchester said the facility is very family friendly and she points out that it is set up with wireless Internet connectivity, free coffee and a comfortable seating area to accommodate parents and families while children are in class. The gym is also equipped with a web cam so that parents who are not able to watch firsthand won’t miss out on any of the live action. “They just get it,” Thome said. “(The owners) welcome lots of feedback and they are really open to and responsive to other parents.”

PRESERVING HERITAGE Eastside Native American Education Program promotes cultural awareness
Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com
American Indians have played a major role in U.S. history, but quite often, textbooks will cover just the basic facts and leave out many details. For Redmond High School senior Dustin Hoahwah, this is a shame because he said it is important to learn about different cultures, especially when it comes to native tribes because there are so many in this country. “Most people don’t know about some tribes,” he said. “(These tribes) need to be known.” Hoahwah is a member of the Umatilla tribe from northeastern Oregon. He is enrolled in the tribe’s reservation but was born in Kirkland and grew up on the Eastside. He has attended school through the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) and as an American Indian, has been enrolled in the East-
side Native American Education Program (ENAEP) since he was in first grade.
EXTRACURRICULAR EDUCATION
ENAEP began in 1975 and serves students in LWSD as well as the Bellevue and Northshore school districts. The program is based in LWSD and holds meetings every Monday evening at Lake Washington High School. Director Mary Wilber said the mission is twofold: to help American Indian students achieve academically and to teach them more about their culture. With the academic aspect of the program, Wilber said ENAEP offers tutoring and teaches school “survival skills” including time management and task prioritizing. Aubrey Roman, a junior at Juanita High School (JHS) in Kirkland, joined ENAEP during the 2010-11 school year and said she has benefit-
ted directly from the tutoring. She was working on an essay and with an ENEAP tutor helping her edit the paper, Roman had raised her grade from a C- to an A. “It was really helpful,” she said. “I think that the program really helps me in school.” Roman added that through the program, she has become more comfortable with asking questions when she doesn’t understand something. ENAEP meetings are all inclusive so the age range among students is from elementary school to high school. With this, Hoahwah said in addition to the tutors, the older students will usually help the younger ones with their schoolwork as well.
HERITAGE AND HISTORY
In teaching students about their culture, ENAEP has a “Know the Facts” component during which students learn

They also learn about the general history of specific tribes. Wilber said this portion of the program is taught by Vince Standing Deer, a former American Indian history professor at California State University, Fullerton who volunteers his time with ENAEP. “It’s really worked out nice,” she said. Students also create arts and crafts such as dream catchers and drums. Roman said learning about tribal history has been interesting for her and she has learned a lot more through “Know the Facts” sessions than she has in school. Both Roman and Hoahwah said ENAEP has played a role in not just their academic development but in allowing them to connect more with their heritage. Roman said she and a friend have been talking about starting a club at Juanita where they can learn more about their culture and include more of their peers.
“I think it’s pretty important because I am a part of these people that we don’t get to learn about and it’s sad,” she said. Hoahwah said there have been times when his heritage has isolated him from others, but ENAEP has helped with that as he encounters other students from other tribes. “It shows that you’re not alone, that you’re not the only native kid on the Eastside,” he said. “You don’t have to act like someone else.” Roman agreed, adding that ENAEP is like a second family.
ANNUAL POWWOW
In addition to the tutoring and history lessons during the weekly meetings, ENAEP also puts on a powwow every year in the fall in honor of the country’s veterans. The powwow is planned by high school students in the program, who are tasked with raising money, organizing a silent auction, coming up with a dinner menu, creating gifts for the veterans and more, all while on a budget. “It’s a big project to put on,”

Wilber said, adding that the event usually brings in about 350 people. This powwow was what first interested Roman in ENAEP and she was part of the student planning committee for last fall’s event at JHS. She said she helped with concessions, made directional signs for the day of the event and participated in a tribal dance performance.
A TITLE VII PROGRAM
Roman has native blood on both sides of her family: Navajo, a tribe from the Southwest, on her father’s side and Oneida, a tribe from the Northeast, on her mother’s side. Roman said her mother is also part Taino, a tribe that hails from northeastern South America. Like Hoahwah and Roman, all students enrolled in ENAEP have some native blood. Wilber said students must prove they are part of a federally recognized tribe in order to enroll. Among the ENAEP’s 240 or so students, 85 tribes are represented. Wilber, who is a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band in British Columbia, Canada, said ENAEP is a federally funded program through Title VII, which supports local educational agencies, Indian tribes and organizations, postsecondary institutions and other entities to meet the educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students. Wilber’s goal is to graduate all of her ENAEP students on time, saying 14 out of 15 high school seniors graduated last year. She said the 15th student just needs to complete a few final credits and will graduate this year.

25 Anniversary Ride th
By Tim Arnold
Redmond Rotarian
This year marks the 25th year of RedSpoke, Redmond Rotary’s bicycle ride across Washington. I’ve ridden many times. In fact I think this marks the 20th time I’ve ridden. Over the years I’ve ridden for many different reasons. I’ve ridden so a terminally ill child could
go to Disneyland with her family. One year it was to raise money for a play area at a new temporary housing project. Another year it was scholarships so several high school students could attend college. Several years it was to eradicate Polio in the world. But each year I knew all the money I raised went directly to our community and the communities around the world. The Redmond Rotary Foundation has no overhead costs. We all volunteer our time and energy to help others. This year the two major recipients are Hopelink and Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center. Both are long term programs that have

been established for decades within our community. When I’m riding RedSpoke, I love to see the changes from the previous year. Sometimes road construction makes it difficult, but the beauty of our countryside is always there. Sometimes the rivers are pale green, just right for casting for the elusive Steelhead. Sometimes the deer are close to the road grazing in fields or meadows. I have yet to see a bear on the ride but other riders have. There are several climbs that are a challenge, including Stevens Pass and Orondo Grade going up to Waterville. It takes me a long time to make it up these, but I don’t mind. It gives me the opportunity to think about those we’ve helped over the years. This year a family will have food on the table because I chose to slowly grind up these two long hills. One of the most beautiful sections to ride is the Tumwater Canyon ending in Leavenworth. You can hear the roar of the river or stop and watch the salmon at the falls. On a hot day the mist feels good. On a cool day I avoid the spray. I’m not the fastest rider, and most of the time not the slowest. But no one enjoys the ride more than me. I get a chance to meet old riders and catch up on what they’ve done over the year, and new riders bring a excitement to the ride as they challenge themselves for maybe their first multiday ride. Twenty-five years seems like a long time, but I still remember the first day of the first ride for me. Maybe this year will be the first year I ride 100 miles on day four. It’s long and tortuous, but the views are worth it.

On Aug. 11, Jubilee, dressed in a blue blazer, breaches and black paddock boots, alternated struts with poses along the red carpet at “A Little Bit of Fashion” at the Evergreen Classic. When not sashaying down the catwalk, three-year-old Jubilee is often found around the Little Bit barn riding Ziggi in her hippothereapy class. In her short life, Jubilee has faced numerous obstacles. She has been diagnosed with CHARGE, a rare genetic disorder identified by a cluster of symptoms found in infant Jubilee. CHARGE stands for: Coloboma of the eye, Heart defects, Atresia (absence or narrowing) of the nasal choanae, Retardation of growth and/or development, Genital and/or urinary abnormalities and/or deafness. Jubilee’s primary obstacles at this time include decreased balance, core strength and endurance, as well as visual tracking difficulties and hearing loss on one side. After two years on Little Bit’s waitlist,
Jubilee began riding in the Hippotherapy program at Little Bit. Her therapy horse is Ziggy and she rides him facing forwards, backwards and sideways while playing different games to enhance her balance, body awareness and visual tracking. Two short months after beginning Hippotherapy, Jubilee’s mother started noticing differences in her daughter’s balance and coordination. She also noticed improvements in her posture and she could more easily maneuver across uneven surfaces she would have previously avoided. Nine months into her treatment at Little Bit, Jubilee is standing on one foot and is even jumping on a trampoline. Jubilee’s mother has enthusiastically witnessed her daughter’s balance, coordination and confidence improve in leaps and bounds since beginning services at Little Bit. Her family, both at home and at Little Bit, look forward to watching her progress unfold in the coming weeks, months and years. On behalf of Jubilee and others like her, thank you for helping to change lives…one stride at a time.

FASTPITCH SOFTBALL PREVIEW
Mustang fastpitch: Shorthanded, but talented Tim watanabe twatanabe@redmond-reporter.com
The 2012 Redmond High fastpitch season will be a test of quality over quantity. For reasons unknown to third-year head coach Parris Mamon, only 11 girls tried out for the team this year, but nearly all of them are returners with previous varsity experience. “Every year I’ve been here I’ve noticed the numbers have kind of gone down a bit,” noted Mamon, adding that next season, ninthgraders will be eligible to play with the new grade configurations. “I think we’re going to be okay.”
SILVER SLUGGERS
Despite the low numbers, the Mustangs this year will feature one of the most powerful lineups the program has seen in quite some time – one that has already belted five home runs in just a jamboree and one regulation game. “We don’t have the numbers, but we have the skills,” said senior utility Louise Chouinard. “All our batters, one through nine, are all strong and are going to hit well.” Chouinard will be one of three senior catalysts for the team, the others being thirdyear starting pitcher Melissa White and shortstop Ashley Mitchell, who has blazing speed and is one of the top players in the league. Mamon, who was an assistant coach with the Kentridge Chargers when they won the school’s first 4A
fastpitch title in 2002, added that seniors Ashley Walls and Blake Gransee will also be key contributors, as will junior Natalie Roberts. “She also pitches, and she’s been getting a lot of time in the circle to help keep Melissa fresh,” Mamon said of Roberts, who is also listed as an outfielder. “She’s pretty capable as well.”
BATTLING THE INJURY BUG
With a squad that barely has the minimum number of players to field a team, the Mustangs’ key to success this year will be to avoid injuries, something the team has already had to deal with. Sophomore pitcher Emily Rockhill, who has excellent movement on her pitches and a solid glove, went down with an arm injury in the preseason and will be out for the year. “That was kind of a heartbreak,” admitted Mamon. “The injury bug is going to hurt. Losing Emily was painful, but we picked up a couple other kids so we’re still at 11 (players).” As the team prepares to start league play next week, they’ve only had a handful of outdoor practices due to the nasty weather earlier this month. But that hasn’t changed how the Mustangs’ plan of attack this season. “We’re getting the work done inside,” Mamon said. “They’re conditioned well, they’re seeing the ball, but it’d be nice to get them (outside).”
Louise Chouinard throws across the diamond during a recent softball practice at Redmond High while fellow seniors Ashley Mitchell (left), Melissa White and Blake Gransee wait their turn. The Mustangs, despite turning out only 11 girls this spring, have a solid offense and look to be competitive into the postseason. Tim Watanabe, Redmond Reporter The players themselves, for the most part, have been playing together for many years, some since little league. They’d like nothing better than to go out blazing into the sunset with a deep postseason run. “(Our group) has good chemistry together,” said Mitchell. “We’ve played together for a long time, and that really helps.” Added Chouinard, “As long as we don’t have any injuries, we’re going to be great.”
Head coach Parris Mamon hits grounders to the Mustang infielders during practice while catcher Hannah Raudebaugh looks on. Mamon, who helped coach the Kentridge Chargers to a 4A state title in 2002, hopes to guide the Mustangs to state for the first time since 2009. Tim Watanabe,

PREP REPORT
Mustang baseball falls to Eastlake, Owls baseball, soccer stays perfect reporter staff
Playing in their 4A Kingco league openerTuesday night at Hartman Park, the Redmond baseball team was unable to come up with clutch hits in a 5-0 loss to rival Eastlake. The Wolves got on the board early with a run in the first, and took a 3-0 advantage after a Mustang error in the fourth. Redmond managed just five hits, including a double by sophomore Lucas Eliason, and was just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The Mustangs dropped to 0-3 on the season and went in search of their
first win of the season last night against Skyline, after the Reporter’s deadline.
Overlake stays perfect, beats Sammamish
The Owls’ baseball team improved to 3-0 on Tuesday in a 7-3 nonleague win over Sammamish, fueled by a monster fourth inning. Overlake plated six runs in that pivotal frame to overcome a 3-0 deficit. Overlake’s Peter Perkins went 2-for-4 for the Owls, with starting pitcher Matt Kaiser going the distance striking out eight for the win. The team plays again tonight against Bellevue Christian at Bannerwood
Park in Bellevue, first pitch at 4 p.m.
Redmond soccer holds off Eastlake
The Mustang boys’ soccer team held a 3-0 lead through most of their 4A Kingco league opening soccer game against Eastlake last night at home, but barely held off the surging Wolves 3-2 in the closing minutes. Cooper Bilginer scored in the fifth and 30th minutes for the Mustangs, with Conner Boone adding another early in the second half. All three goals were assisted by Tyler Bennett. In the 70th minute, Austin Aumell scored
for Eastlake and another Wolves’ goal was recorded with less than three minutes to play in regulation, but the Mustangs were able to hold on. The win improved Redmond to 4-1 on the season.
Owls’ scoring spree downs northwest
The red-hot Overlake School boys’ team showed more of its offensive muscle on Tuesday night during a home game against Northwest School, winning in a 8-0 rout. Six different players scored for the Owls: Riley Browne (8th minute), Rohan Kumar (12th, 25th), Gavin Mackinlay

...WONDERFUL WORLD OF PETS a result, animals on raw diets have a greater chance of picking up parasites and infectious diseases. In addition, water bowls should be changed regularly. Discourage your pet from drinking from questionable water sources. Any fecal matter in the backyard should be promptly removed. Preventing parasites before they infect your pet and household is the key to keeping your pets and family safe. Rebecca Rogers graduated from Iowa State University with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2000 and has been at the VCA Redmond Animal Hospital for over a decade.
After celebrating its 22nd anniversary of helping homeless cats and dogs last month, Homeward Pet Adoption Center in Woodinville completed their 20,000th adoption on March 18. The pet, Ava, is a fourmonth-old Torti kitten and was adopted by Peggy LaReaux. In honor of this milestone, LaReaux was surprised with no fee for the adoption and a gift basket full of toys, treats and a blanket to help Ava settle into her new home.

Protect your home If fleas are found on your pet and in your home, it is important to remove all life cycles of the flea from the home to completely eradicate them from the area. Thoroughly vacuum all areas of the house, including furniture, and then remove the vacuum cleaner bag from the premises. Also wash all pet and human bedding in hot water. Make flea protection ongoing It is recommended to treat your pet year-round on a monthly basis to ensure complete flea protection. It is much easier to prevent fleas than to treat infestation.
Jester is a youthful and energetic young fellow who is on the lookout for a new home and an experienced owner. At just a year old, this youngster is perfect for someone who wants an active dog with lots of potential. He is looking forward to training with his new person so he can be the best dog he can be.

With spring approaching, it is a good time to re-educate ourselves about the types of parasites that can affect our dogs and cats year-round. Fleas are a very common parasite in Washington State. Owners are commonly unaware that their pet may be harboring fleas; however fleas can cause skin irritation to animals and transmit infectious disease. Flea populations do diminish in the colder months, but fleas can survive in warmer environments, including inside homes during the winter months. Roundworms, hookworms and whipworms are the most common intestinal worms in companion animals. Pets can become infected with these parasites throughout the year. In addition, they are a significant cause of zoonotic disease, which means that they can spread from pets to their owners. Children are the most at risk for picking up zoonotic infections. Consequently, preventing parasites from infecting
pets will prevent infection of their families. Heartworms are a parasite transmitted by mosquitoes and can be fatal to pets if not caught and treated early. Although heartworm infections are not commonly seen in Washington State as opposed to other southern and eastern states, the incidents in our state do appear to be on the rise. At least once yearly pets should be tested for parasitic disease. Sometimes infection can go unnoticed in daily behavior, which is why annual exams and fecal testing is so important. Monthly preventative medications can be used to protect our pets. As there are many options available, it is best to talk to your veterinarian to pick the most appropriate medication for your household. In addition to medications, it is important to take precaution in the home to prevent parasitic infections. Pets should not be fed raw meat diets. Uncooked meat harbors significantly more bacterial and parasitic organisms than cooked meat, and as

...obituaries Art (Chubby) Heitlauf passed away peacefully at his home in Redmond, WA on March 18, 2012 surrounded by his family after a long struggle with congestive heart failure. Art was born on September 19, 1924 in Louisville, KY and attended St. Xavier High school where he excelled at sports and ultimately became one of the first inductees into St. X’s athletic Hall of Fame. He graduated in 1943 with a full scholarship to the University of Maryland but unfortunately, WWII intervened. During the war, Art was a radio operator/waist gunner on a B-17 for the 8th Air Force stationed in England. His plane, “Carry me Back”, flew 15 combat missions over Germany. After the war, Chubby attended the University of Louisville and continued his athletic success as captain of the only undefeated football team in U of L’s history. He graduated U of L with a major in Business and a minor in education and then used both degrees as an economics teacher at Flaget High School in Louisville. He also helped coach Flaget’s state champion football team which included such players as Paul Hornung and Howard Schnellenberger. Art married Virginia, his loving wife of 62 years, in 1949. He had a long and successful business career (1952-1985) in sales and management with General Electric Co. in Louisville, Los Angeles and Seattle and retired as a Regional Sales Manager in 1985. His remaining years were filled with his grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and garage sales. Art is survived by his wife Virginia; his children: Art Jr., Dale, Gary, Debbie, Don and Greg; their spouses; 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held Saturday, March 24 at Faith Lutheran Church in Redmond, WA at 4:00pm. Donations in his name may be made to the American Heart Association. 600275

Seattle Children’s Hospital is joining forces with eight local Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants throughout the Puget Sound area, including the Redmond location at 15230 N.E. 24th St. #1-G, for the second annual March “Month of Giving� fundraising campaign to help make a difference in children’s lives. The campaign will culminate in the nationwide event, Jersey Mike’s “Make A Difference Day� on March 28. During the month of March, customers can make a donation to Seattle Children’s Hospital at any area Jersey Mike’s restaurant. Then on March 28, a special nationwide celebration, “Make A Difference Day,� will be held at all Jersey Mike’s locations to benefit 74 different charities with a mission to help children. On that day, Puget Sound residents are invited to make a minimum $2 contribution to Seattle Children’s Hospital in exchange for a free regularsized sub. “We are thrilled to be the beneficiaries of Jersey Mike’s Subs Month of Giving this year. This partnership, along with the community support-
ing it, allows us to provide skilled and compassionate care to today’s patients while researching tomorrow’s cures,� said Michele Smith, Seattle Children’s Foundation trustee. For a list of participating restaurants and for more information on Jersey Mike’s charity partners, visit http:// www.jerseymikes.com/news/ read.php?id=428. The inaugural Month of Giving campaign last year raised more than $600,000 for 66 charities nationwide and the hope is this year’s campaign will raise even more. In total last year, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country raised more than $2 million for local charities and distributed more than 200,000 free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes. “Our commitment to the core Jersey Mike’s value of giving back to the communities we serve has never been stronger,� said Jersey Mike’s founder Peter Cancro. “We know our customers share this passion and with their help, we hope to make a big difference in the lives of children throughout this country.�

News briefs sustainable redmond to be featured at Soulfood books
On Wednesday, Sustainable Redmond will be featured during the monthly Sustainability Wednesday series at SoulFood Books located at 15748 Redmond Way in Redmond. The program begins at 7 p.m. and all are encouraged to attend. The discussion will focus on plans for the 28-acre Group Health hospital site in Overlake and the approved plan to remove more than 1,000 trees onsite. The plan compensates for the removal of these trees by providing a number of infrastructure improvements, setting aside space for a park and replanting 3,000 smaller trees elsewhere. While Sustainable Redmond supports transitoriented developments, it finds this project approval to be inconsistent with the City of Redmond’s legacy of protecting trees, as well as with the city’s long-adopted tree preservation ordinance and neighborhood plans. Sustainable Redmond has
appealed the city’s decision. For more information, visit the website at www. sustainableredmond.org.

District-wide information is reported to the school board. Results are also broken out by school and given to principals to use in their continuous improvement process. Parents and community members are invited to take part. Survey questions are based on the nine characteristics of HighPerforming Schools. This framework for school improvement was developed by the Office for the Superintendent of Public Schools based on a review of the research on what makes a high-performing school. Public feedback will help LWSD understand how they need to improve schools and the district to be as high performing as possible. This year, the survey will be open through March 30.

2012 Board of Directors Officers Chair John Marchione, mayor City of redmond vice-Chair David Knight, Commissioner Covington Water district
Water for our Future Message from the Chair
secretary/treasurer Jim Haggerton, mayor City of tukwila
John Marchione, Mayor of Redmond dear neighbors, it is my honor and privilege to have been elected as the chair of the Cascade Water alliance Board of directors. i have served on this board for many years, and am very proud of its accomplishments as we continue to provide clean, safe, reliable water for our residents. to do this, Cascade works with regional partners like seattle and tacoma, and has purchased the beautiful Lake tapps in pierce County. state approval to eventually use this for future water supply was granted last year. Why is this important? Because this beautiful lake is a reservoir that will eventually provide all of us with drinking water. Without this, we cannot grow or prosper as a region.
But our mission at Cascade is to think about tomorrow as well. as our region grows, so will demand. Our residents do their part in saving water every day—from turning off the water while they brush their teeth, by purchasing water efficient appliances and toilets for their homes, and not watering their yards when it’s raining. We as a regional board are entrusted with making sure there’s water in that tap when you turn it on today and tomorrow. that is why we purchased and will maintain Lake tapps to ensure we will be able to meet that demand for the rest of the century.

When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for financing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community. Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
