orry Lee has been writing stories since she was in elementary school and last weekend the 30-year-old Redmond resident was honored for this lifelong passion, which she is working to turn into a career.

Lee was among 12 writers honored during the 28th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. She was recognized after entering the L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest, a writing

competition for new and amateur science fiction and fantasy writers of new short stories and novelettes.

The contest honors writers four times a year and Lee received third place for her short story “Shutdown,” a military science fiction story that takes place in the far future and features a ballerina heroine. She entered her short story in the contest in March 2011 and found out she had received third place two or three months after that.

“It was so amazing,” she said about the phone call she received. [ more LEE page 2 ]

School district, teachers’ union postpone negotiations for another year Current Collective Bargaining Agreement extended through August 2013 Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

For the second consecutive year, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) and Lake Washington Education Association (LWEA) have agreed to postpone teacher

contract negotiations for another year.

The decision, which was unanimously approved by the district’s board of directors at Monday’s board meeting and by an LWEA vote of 96 percent, will extend the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) through

August 2013. The CBA contract was originally negotiated for September 2008 through August 2011, but was extended last year due to the uncertainty of the state economy.

In addition, both sides agreed to a revised 2012-13 school district calendar, which includes two additional work days for teachers.

LWEA President Kevin Teeley said the state of the economy was once again a fac-

tor in their decision to extend the contract another year.

“We were really scared to death that there would be more cuts,” he said.

There were no new cuts this year, but there was no new money coming in either, just as Teeley and his colleagues expected. [ more CBA page 3 ]

City seeks candidates to fill planning commission vacancy Redmond residents with an interest in the future growth and character of the city are invited to apply for an upcoming vacancy on the Redmond planning commission.

Planning commissioners are appointed by the mayor, confirmed by the City Council and may serve up to two four-year terms.

The commission’s role is to make recommendations to City Council regarding planning policy and land use regulations. This year, the commission will work on a number of important issues, including a follow up to the city’s 2011 Comprehensive Plan update, completion of the 2012 Transportation Master Plan, updates to development regulations and policy issues related to housing and neighborhood planning.

Planning commission meetings are held at 7

[ LEE from page 1] Lee had just injured her back in a rock climbing accident at Marymoor Park and the news of her winning story was exactly what she needed as she faced what otherwise would have been a bleak summer.

In addition to the award, she received a $500 cash prize and her story will be published in the “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 28,” an annual anthology containing each year’s winners.

“This is my very first publication,” Lee said. “Now I have my name in a book.

It’s amazing.”

The Writers of the Future contest was started by Hubbard in 1983 as a way for aspiring writers to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was created in 1988.

“The writers and illustrators of the future contests have proven to be the most effective means for contes-

p.m. on Wednesday, typically three times a month.

Interested residents living within Redmond city limits should contact the mayor’s office at (425) 5562101 or download a community service application form at www.redmond. gov/Government/BoardsCommissions. Completed applications should be sent to the Office of the Mayor, City of Redmond, PO Box 97010, Redmond, WA 98073-9710 or faxed to (425) 556-2110. If available, include a resume or summary of related experience. All board and commission members are volunteers.

Applications are requested by May 13; however, the position is open until filled. For more information, contact the mayor’s office at (425) 556-2101 or thudson@ redmond.gov.

tants to make their break in the publishing industry, an industry renowned for being closed to the newcomer,” said contest director Joni Labaqui in a press release. “Well over six million fiction and nonfiction manuscripts make the rounds annually to find a publishing home, yet only 2,500 new science fiction and fantasy titles are published each year and many of these are from already established authors. That’s why these contests were created — because it’s so hard to get published and there are so many talented people who give up on their dreams to see their works in print.”

This was exactly how Lee viewed the contest. She entered after hearing about it from other writers she’d met at various science fiction conventions she’d attended. She said they told her participating in the contest helped them launch their careers — some have had multiple novels published — and opened the science fiction and fantasy communities to them.

Lee has entered the contest a number of times, working her way up from honorable mention, to

semifinalist to this year’s third place finish.

“It was a nice progression,” she said, adding it showed her that she was getting better.

She said the best advice she could give to anyone who wants to be a writer is to do just that — keep writing. She said this is the only way to get better.

Lee said science fiction and fantasy have always been the genres she favored — both as a writer and a reader — but leans more toward the former. She said she always enjoyed the sense of wonder and adventure in those stories and the interaction between humans and beings and things that are not “normal.”

Her love for science fiction is paired with a love for science fact as Lee studied physics and applied mathematics in college — all the while sneaking in writing time — and received a doctorate in experimental particle physics from Harvard University.

Lee said her academic background has helped her in her writing as she is more confident in writing about different technologies and characters with similar

backgrounds as her.

“I think it’s helped me make the technology my characters interact with more realistic,” she said.

While the technical aspects of her writing benefits from her science background, Lee said her stories are more about people.

“I love exploring what makes people tick and what people love, what people fear — what they would do in a difficult situation,” she said. “I guess I like having imaginary friends.”

Lee became more serious about her writing after attending the intensive, six-week Odyssey Writing Workshop in the summer of 2009. She said this course as well as meeting other science fiction writers and conventions helped Lee realize it was possible for her to pursue her dream of being a writer.

Lee is currently working on a steampunk novel with the working title of “The Clockwork Empire.” She said steampunk is an up-andcoming genre that often deals with alternate history — usually during a time when steam power is widely used such as Victorian Britain.

to Wednesday, June 19, instead of Tuesday, June 18.

As part of the changes, teachers will work two additional days — one teacher-only day at the end of August and one student transition day for secondary schools before school starts.

The teacher-only professional development day, known as a LEAP day, will be Friday, Aug. 31.

In conjunction with the district’s change in grade configuration to four-year high schools, a transition day

ary will remain the same even though state funding for this had been cut by 1.9 percent.

He said the district is using local levy funds to make up the difference.

While teacher pay is remaining the same, Fogard said there will be a few changes.

“It’s the same terms,” she said. “The only real change was the calendar.”

A LWSD press release, released Wednesday, outlined the upcoming calendar changes. The changes include moving the last day of school

Ca

Teeley said LWEA officials felt that they did not think it was likely for the state Legislature to allocate additional funds to K-12 education this year even with the favorable Supreme Court ruling in January stating that public education is not adequately funded by the state as outlined in Washington’s Constitution.

Janene Fogard, deputy superintendent of operational services for LWSD, said the financial situation at the state level has a significant impact on the contract negotiations between the district and LWEA. State funding is a major factor in whether the district will be able to honor teachers’ — and other employees’ — contracts, Forgard said. She added that the lack of new cuts this year is a positive sign for public education.

“I’m hopeful,” she said.

“There are some signs the economy is recovering.”

However, Fogard is still cautious because major improvements to education will be a long process. She said there is no magic wand to wave to instantly fix things.

Another reason LWSD and LWEA decided to forgo negotiations once again was the district’s upcoming grade reconfiguration to a K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 system this fall.

Fogard said because the transition is very complicated and involved, it seemed like a good time to just extend teacher contracts for another year rather than add another equally complicated and involved process into the mix.

Teeley agreed.

“It was just better to not have the contract negotiations hanging over our heads,” he said. “It just made more sense to not add that onto all of the existing pressures.”

Teeley said with the renewed contract, teacher sal-

Policy change in order at LWSD School district should inform parents of sexual misconduct cases

T

he Lake Washington School District (LWSD) acted quickly when a Lake Washington High School student alleged that Kangaroos basketball coach Barry Johnson sexually harassed her late last year.

The female student accused Johnson, 38, of sexual harassment on Dec. 13, 2011; the district placed the Redmond High School graduate on administrative leave the same day, in accordance with the LWSD’s sexual harassment policy.

An April 14 Seattle Times article lauded the district for following its procedures: “The (case shows) that despite high-profile cases that could be viewed as procedural failures, such as the case at Penn State involving former football coach Jerry Sandusky, the system can be effective when alleged abuse occurs.”

We commend the district for doing what it was supposed to do, placing the coach on administrative leave and protecting students. However, that is not enough.

Most parents are just learning about the incident through the media – four months after the student brought forth these allegations. Why didn’t the LWSD inform parents about the alleged misconduct as soon as the district placed the coach on administrative leave?

According to Kathryn Reith, LWSD communications director, the district essentially did.

In a vague email, and one that was hardly cause for concern, the school’s athletic director notified basketball parents on Dec. 14, a day after the incident: “Currently, Barry Johnson is on leave of absence from his assignments at LWHS.” The email emphasized the upcoming holiday basketball tournament over winter break, asking parents to contact the director with questions concerning the trip to San Diego.

Reith said the district also included in a recent board agenda that Johnson resigned on March 13.

Parents have the right to know the circumstances surrounding such cases of misconduct that may involve their

children. The LWSD should inform all parents of any alleged sexual misconduct immediately.

The district has policies to remove a staff member when an allegation is raised, but there are no policies in place to notify parents in the community.

So why not adopt a new policy?

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) recently did after outraged parents criticized the district for giving them no explanation when it pulled teacher Mark Berndt from class at Miramonte Elementary in early 2011, according to the Los Angeles Times.

A year later, the teacher was charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct, including allegations that he spoon-fed semen to blindfolded students. Before Berndt’s arrest, LAUSD limited the release of information, saying they didn’t want to risk compromising the investigation, said the Los Angeles Times report.

Parents criticized the district for not informing them, saying it created the impression that LAUSD was deliberately withholding information. In response, the LAUSD adopted a new mandate a few weeks ago that schools must notify parents within 72 hours if a teacher is removed from a classroom

for allegations of sexual misconduct with students.

Under the mandate, parents won’t be informed of the teacher’s name, grade level or other identifying information, to protect the presumption of innocence.

It’s an appropriate mandate, and one that the LWSD should consider. Not releasing such information causes public mistrust. Parents and the community want to hear the information from the school district, not just the media.

And they have the right to. This would also give other potential victims the opportunity to come forward as well.

The LWHS student who alleged that Johnson sexually harassed her feels the same. In an email she sent out on March 3 informing the school community about what allegedly happened to her, she wrote: “… Anyone who wants to read (this) can and I’d encourage you to if you’re interested because I feel like every person at school has some sort of right to know what’s going on around them and why.”

It takes some courage for a victim to come forth and go so far as to broadcast to the school community what allegedly happened to him or her.

So what’s holding the school district back?

here is no doubt that kids today experience more

stress.

Some of this is simply due to the faster pace of our society. Sometimes stress is due to family issues like divorce, substance abuse or violence. But more often what’s stressing our kids these days is the race to be the best — in school, sports and standardized testing.

Too many kids are coming to counselors and places like Youth Eastside Services anxious, sleep deprived, depressed and abusing alcohol or drugs. Too often the stress they are trying to escape stems from the pressures surrounding academics and the unmanageable time demands of extracurricular activities and sports.

So what can we do as parents?

Any attempt to force your teenager to finally go to bed or curtail

activities, is likely to be met with a fight you’ll lose. However, you can minimize stress at home and encourage healthy attitudes. The following are some tips to keep stress manageable with any child, but especially an overachiever.

• Resist the temptation to log into web-based grading to check on every assignment. One of the biggest stressors for kids is a parent’s constant attention on grades.

• Keep things in perspective and encourage your child to do the same. The most important thing is a child’s health and well-being. The “right” college or a bigger paycheck isn’t going to ensure that they will be happy in life.

• Let your son or daughter know it’s okay to fail now and again. Recent studies show that kids perform better in school and feel more confident if they are told that failure is Patti SkeltonMcGougan

PARENTING LIFELINE

Helping overachieving children manage stress T a normal part of learning.

• Let your home be a refuge.

Encourage your children to have friends over, decorate their rooms in ways pleasing to them and spend time just enjoying life at home.

Don’t overload kids with chores and demands or they will likely spend time elsewhere.

• Encourage rest (at least eight hours a night) and good nutrition.

Try to prepare a family dinner as often as possible, and keep the house stocked with healthy snacks and quick meals to reheat.

• Keep a routine and avoid over scheduling your kids from an early age. Always make sure you allow time for unstructured play, and avoid having kids in more than one activity at a time. For example, if your son plays a musical instrument, let him take a break from lessons when he’s doing a sport.

• Set a good example with your habits — disconnect from elec-

tronics and participate in stressreduction activities like listening to music, exercising or doing yoga.

Encourage children to find activities that help them feel calm.

• Finally, talk with your children.

Let them know constantly that they are loved no matter what grades they bring home. Encourage them to let you know about other issues in their life like bullying, relationship problems, fears and hopes.

There are numerous emotional and physical disorders that have been linked to stress including depression, anxiety, drug use, heart attacks, stroke, cancer and a weaker immune system. That’s why keeping stress minimized could be the best thing you can do to help your child succeed—today, and for a lifetime to come.

the city will focus on as far as community outreach.

While discussing Redmond's future, Marchione talked about the downtown and Overlake neighborhoods, the city's two urban centers. He said in the downtown, the city is working on making the area more walkable, completing the 164th Avenue Northeast extension from Cleveland Street to Northeast 76th Street and converting Cleveland Street and Redmond Way to two-way streets.

"I was told we're on pace to complete it by 2015," Marchione said about converting the one-way streets.

He said in the urban centers, people want to see both residents and businesses and more choices for all aspects of their daily life, from working and living to dining out and other forms of entertainment.

Marchione said the urban centers were designated to absorb growth in the region and the city's strategy resonates with citizens.

"They like the direction the city is going," he said.

The City of Redmond's budget, community outreach efforts and future were the focus of Mayor John Marchione's State of the City address Wednesday afternoon at this month's Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce's member luncheon.

Marchione said Redmond's financial outlook remains healthy, telling the audience that the city is "balanced and stable for the next six years."

The mayor said they are seeing some sales tax recovery from the down economy and more dollars are trickling in through construction projects, which dropped significantly when the recession hit.

While things are looking up, Marchione acknowledged that progress will be slow. He said the amount of construction projects in Redmond is at about the same level as they were at in the mid 1990s and it would be around 2020 before they rise back up to the city's construction peak from 2007.

Marchione said one of the ways Redmond has been able to maintain a balanced budget has been by using ongoing revenue for ongoing expenses.

"We are not using onetime savings to balance our budget," he said, adding that those one-time savings typically go toward construction.

Marchione also touched on the city's upcoming Budgeting by Priorities (BP) process for the 201314 biennial budget. He said this is the third time the city will use this process, which has been successful

and calls for a lot of citizen involvement.

"The city doesn't solve the problem by itself," Marchione said about the importance of including citizens in the budgeting process and other aspects of city government.

Using Redmond's six priorities — business vitality, clean and green environment, community building, infrastructure and growth, responsible government and safety — as a guide, Marchione also shared results from a city survey of citizens in 2011.

The survey is conducted every two years and Marchione said the city has improved in most categories and subcategories since the last survey in 2009 including community engagement, responsible government and safety.

With the latter however, Marchione said one area citizens thought the city could improve on is disaster preparedness. He said citizens feel they need to know more about what to do in the case of a natural disaster, so this is an area

SECOND THOUGHTS

Dental patients have many reasons to prevent periodontal (gum) disease before it exerts far-ranging adverse effects. Aside from the more immediate potential consequences of gum disease, which include inflammation and possible tooth loss, research links gum disease with heart disease, diabetes, lung problems, and premature and low-weight babies. Fortunately, early stages of gum disease can be reversed with professional cleanings and at-home brushing and flossing. In more severe cases that involve buildups of hardened tartar, professional “scaling” and “root planing” may remove unwanted deposits above and below the gumline. However, only patients have it in their power to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, which research now shows increases the likelihood of developing severe gum disease by 30% to 60%.

Question: A friend of mine keeps telling me I should be doing more compound movements. What does this mean and what are the benefits?

Answer: Your friend is right! Isolated movements are really more appropriate for targeting weak areas or for rehabilitating after an injury. Today’s fitness trends typically involve more functional movements that mimic real-life activities. That’s why compound exercises are becoming so popular.

They’re essentially just multi-joint exercises that work several muscles at a time. Examples include pull-ups, push-ups, squats, lunges, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, dips, and even jumping rope. And this is only scratching the surface when it comes to compound exercises. There are numerous reasons to incorporate more compound movements into your training.

Here are just a few of the benefits: • Provides a full body workout in a shorter period of time; • Improves coordination, reaction time, and balance; • Provides cardiovascular benefits by keeping your heart rate elevated; • Decreases risk of injury during sports; • Burns more calories; and • Allows for heavier lifts that will build strength faster I highly recommend adding compound movements to your workout regimen and if you give them a try, have fun with them and get creative. Think of new ways to use stability balls, medicine balls, Bosu balls, bands, kettlebells, ropes and of course, your own body weight to work multiple muscle groups at a time.

Question: I have a very simple question for you — how often should I weigh myself?

Answer: Assuming you’re trying to lose weight, it really depends on where you are in the weight loss process and how sensitive you are to the results. If you’re in the early stages of active weight loss, I’d only recommend weighing in once every one to two weeks.

Keeping it to a minimum will help you focus more on your behaviors.

After all, consistency is key when it comes to both diet and exercise and obsessing about the numbers on the scale won’t change anything. And let’s not forget that it can take some time for the scale to start trending down, especially if you’ve just started an exercise program.

However, if you’ve reached your weight loss goals, and you’re now in maintenance mode, I’d recommend weighing yourself more frequently. That’s right — I said more often and there’s actually research to support this.

The logic behind it is simple. If you’re weighing more frequently, you’ll be able to quickly identify weight-gain trends and respond accordingly. A couple days each week is probably enough to keep you at or near your target. There’s one last point that’s important here, and it sort of goes without saying. The number on the scale is just one aspect of the weight loss process. In other words, tracking other metrics of success, like how you’re feeling, your circumference measurements and your body composition are just as important!

Historic Clise bell ready to ring again Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Come fall, the Redmond High School (RHS) stadium will be filled with even more noise whenever the football team scores a touchdown.

The stadium near RHS now houses a historic 1,100-pound bell that will be rung each time the Mustangs cross the goal line.

The Clise Bell, so named because it was commissioned by a woman named Anna Clise, made its return to Walter L. Seabloom Field after a decades-long absence thanks to Logan John. The RHS sophomore was in charge of the bell’s permanent relocation to the field’s southwest corner as a final project for his Eagle Scout award, which he will receive next week.

Logan began the project

at the end of summer 2011, saying he chose to establish a permanent home for the bell because he had never seen a project like this done before and also because it was directly tied to his school.

On Wednesday afternoon, a special dedication ceremony was held to mark the bell’s return to the field. In addition to Logan, speakers included RHS associate principal Lloyd Higgins, Redmond Mayor John Marchione, Tom Hitzroth and Christina Himes from the Redmond Historical Society, RHS stadium manager John Bailie and Al Clise, Anna’s great grandson.

Throughout the process, Logan said he learned a lot about how to be a leader, responsibility and how many people and parties can be involved in a seemingly

SlipCoverS

simple task — the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), the historical society and the Clise family.

Logan said one of the biggest challenges of the project was dealing with all the red tape and paperwork and waiting for things to get approved, but really enjoyed things once they were approved.

“I loved seeing this project come together one step at a time,” he said.

Historical society President and former Redmond Mayor Himes said the bell had previously been located on the school’s field in the 1960s and was there while her five children attended RHS. “We’ve known about the bell for a long time,” she said.

She said the bell was located on the other end

of the field back then and since their home was nearby, they always knew when the Mustangs scored by the ringing of the bell.

Himes, who spoke during the ceremony, said like Redmond, the Clise Bell is 100 years old. It was originally commissioned for an Episcopal church near Anderson Park in Redmond by Anna, who owned a farm with her husband James Clise where present-day Marymoor Park sits — known as Willowmoor back then.

Throughout its history, the bell has moved to various locations including the Clise Mansion at Marymoor, and Bill Brown’s garage downtown (The Matador restaurant’s current location), where it was used as a fire bell.

With all the moving,

The Redmond High School (RHS) football field is now the permanent for the Clise Bell, a 1,100-pound bell with a 100-year history in Redmond. Al Clise (left) is the great grandson of Anna Clise, the woman who commissioned the bell and Logan John is a sophomore at RHS who headed the bell relocation project to earn his Eagle Scout award. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter Himes said the bell needed a permanent home and called Logan’s project “a stroke of genius.” “(The bell has) really got a home now,” she said. “It has a real home.”

Al, great grandson of James and Anna, agreed with Himes.

“I think it’s great that it’s here,” he said.

He told the audience that his great grandmother “would be very proud” of where the bell has settled and its renewed use as a touchdown bell.

“I hope it rings a lot,” he said.

responded, according to LWSD documents.

In another instance, Johnson allegedly asked the victim inappropriate questions, including if she would have sex with someone his age or if she was a virgin.

FACEBOOK FRIENDS

On Dec. 12, Johnson “friended” the female student on Facebook. That night the teacher engaged in a texting conversation from his “Kanghoops” Facebook page where he allegedly asked for her phone number, asked personal questions and what it would take to become one of her “besties” or best friends, the investigation continued. The conversation also referenced the drug Ketamin, a horse tranquilizer. Johnson does not dispute the conversation, according to the investigation. The Facebook page and “friendship” with many students in social media directly violates the district’s policies. Johnson told investigators that he created the page to encourage support for the team and was trying to help students with drug

and alcohol problems.

One student defended Johnson in a statement to police, saying he thought both the female student and Johnson “just took it too far.” He also told investigators that Johnson “helped him stay clean.”

Johnson and the female student had a conversation the next day in the cafeteria where he allegedly commented on the female student’s appearance, attempted to grab her hand, asked her if she was afraid of him and what her favorite drugs were. The female student told investigators the alleged conversation made her feel harassed and afraid.

A friend of the female student told police that “she decided to report (what was going on) after Barry asked, ‘are you afraid of me?’” The question alerted the alleged victim that Johnson knew what he was doing was wrong, according to the friend’s statement.

That same friend told police that Johnson’s hand was also seen brushing against the student’s breast. Johnson said that he apologized to the victim

and that it was inadvertent.

The report also states that Johnson discussed his own drug use with students.

VICTIM’S EMAIL EXPLANATION

The female student sent out an email to Lake Washington basketball players, friends and classmates to explain what was going on. She began the email by stating that she would not make any false accusations and understood the magnitude of her accusations.

“Things like this could potentially ruin someone’s career. Their life,” the student wrote.

The student said she told Johnson to stop his behavior to no avail.

“Barry sexually harassed me. He made me uncomfortable. He made me dread coming to fourth period. It sucked. Well no, it more than sucked,” the student wrote.

“It made me feel skeevy and icky. All I wanted after I left was a shower. I don’t think people realize that it doesn’t stop after you leave. It is always there, in the back of your mind, making you feel

sick and slutty and stupid and guilty.”

She goes on to say that she became “frightened” of him.

“Frightened that maybe it would become more than comments, talk and invading questions,” she wrote.

She explained that she felt like people were blaming her for Johnson’s dismissal and apologized to the basketball team.

The LWSD gave Johnson the opportunity to resign from the coaching position via email on Feb. 27. Johnson, who is married and has children, officially resigned on March 13.

“Words do not adequately express the pain this situation has caused me and my family,” wrote Johnson in his resignation to the LWSD. “I am making the choice to move forward with my life and to find a new way to support my family. I realize that if I were to fully challenge these allegations and win, I would never feel comfortable at Lake Washington High School again.”

contradictory accounts.

The inappropriate interaction between the two began to take a more dramatic turn when Johnson allegedly began to ask the student about her personal life.

According to the investigation, Johnson purposefully sat closer to the alleged victim, in the back row, during the fourth-period class in which he was an instructional assistant. Many of the students in the class have corroborated this allegation.

“I would guess that Barry spends about 80 percent of his time in class with (the female student),” one witness told police. “As far as I know Barry is not assigned to one particular student or table.”

But the investigation alleges that Johnson would interact with the female student in a

“flirtatious” manner. He even resorted to pulling the girl’s hair, purposefully bumped her chair if she was ignoring him and would make sure their feet would touch. He allegedly asked the student, “Why don’t you like that? When a guy likes a girl, he picks on them,” the documents continue.

Johnson admitted to asking the female student about her breakup with her boyfriend over text message during class on Nov. 10, 2011. Johnson said the female student initiated a discussion a few days later about her sexual preferences. The girl told investigators that Johnson initiated the inappropriate discussion before class.

During the conversation, Johnson allegedly asked the student inappropriate questions in which the student

Redmond High School senior Jessica Kinssies broke a 25-year-old school record in the shot put at Saturday’s Larry Eason Invitation at Snohomish High School.

Kinssies placed fifth in the shot put with a toss of 38 feet, 9 inches, breaking Carla Warren’s

1987 school record of 38-4. Kinssies also placed 12th in the discus with a throw of 106-7 to help the Mustangs finish ninth in the team standings at the invitational, which attracted the top athletes from all classifications from around the state.

The Mustangs also faired well in the high jump as senior Katie Lord

finished third with a leap of 5-2 and teammate Joy Zhang was fifth with a jump of 5-0. The Bear Creek School senior Madelyn Magee, the two-time defending 2B state high jump champion, won the event, clearing 5-8.

Redmond’s 400 relay team of Kelly Walls, Kathrine Smiley, Mandy Rusch and Maria Eckmann placed

second at the invitational with a time of 50.84 seconds. In addition, the Mustangs’ 1,600 relay team of Walls, Rusch, Smiley and Keiko Montenegro ran to a fourth-place finish in 4:10.55.Redmond junior Johnathan Stevens was the Mustangs’ top boy finisher at the invitational as he placed fifth in the 1,600 with a time of 4:28.68.

Redmond baseball keeps rolling Mustangs knock off Inglemoor, claim ninth-straight win BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Fueled by attack-mode hitting and pinpoint pitching, the Redmond High School baseball team is firing on all cylinders.

The Mustangs won their ninth-straight game Tuesday night, edging Inglemoor, 4-3, in a Kingco 4A contest at Hartman Field. Redmond started the season 0-7, but now sports an overall record of 9-7 and holds the No. 2 spot in the Crest Division at 6-4 — two games behind divisionleading Skyline.

“We are kind of a gritty ball club right now,” said coach Dan Pudwill. “We are doing a lot of things well.

We are playing very good defense … we are getting great pitching and we scrap together runs somehow, someway.”

Senior Adam Cline, the Mustangs’ workhorse on the mound, pitched his third complete game of season against the Vikings.

After a shaky start when he allowed six hits and three runs in the first three innings, Cline got into a groove and allowed just one single and no runs in the final four innings.

Cline earned his third win during Redmond’s win

streak to even his record at 3-3 and owns a team-low 2.10 earned run average (ERA). Cline has pitched in five games, with three starts, during the Mustangs’ nine-game surge, allowing five earned runs in 25 2/3 innings pitched.

But Cline is not the only

Mustang hurler who is hitting his spring stride.

Fellow senior starting pitchers Peter Hendron and Kirk Gysler are a combined 5-0 during the win streak and both have sub-3.0 ERAs. “We have some good pitching,” Cline said after

Tuesday’s win. “Guys have been able to come out and deal every day.”

After the slow start to the season, Cline admitted he was a bit worried if he and the other pitchers would get enough run support from the offense.

“It was pretty rough,” Cline said of the 0-7 start.

“I was starting to get a little worried. But guys started to get aggressive and things are turning around.”

One of those guys is junior left-handed designated hitter Brent Firth, who hit an opposite-field solo home run against the Vikings to tie the game at 1 in the second inning. It was Firth’s second home run of the season and seventh RBI, which ranks second on the team.

“He’s been swinging a great bat for us lately,” said Pudwill. “He’s really found his swing. He’s doing a great job of hitting to all fields.”

Firth, a first-year varsity player, said the Mustangs have eliminated the early season mistakes and taken a more aggressive approach at the plate that has translated into wins.

“All the guys have stepped up at the plate and that’s made a big difference,” said Firth, who is batting .473 and has three two-hit games during Redmond’s win streak. “We don’t have to throw shut outs to win games now.”

That attack mentality at the plate has sparked

Redmond’s turnaround, according to Pudwill.

“We’re scoring more runs,” Pudwill said. “We’re getting better at bats and being more aggressive. We are making other teams defend us.”

The Mustangs managed just six hits against Vikings, but they put the ball in play and took advantage of three Inglemoor errors to scratch out three unearned runs, including two in the fifth inning that gave Redmond a 4-3 lead.

Senior Patrick McGrath had a single in the third inning and then scored the go-ahead run in the fifth inning on a wild pitch by Inglemoor pitcher Lucas Winmer. Sophomore Brandon Burditt had two hits and scored two runs for the Mustangs against Inglemoor. Senior Peyton Lutz added an opposite-field triple in the win against the Vikings.

This season’s Mustangs no longer have the big bats in the lineup after losing three Division I players — Micheal Conforto, Dylan Davis and Zach Abruzza — to graduation, but they are finding ways to win as new players are stepping up.

“We did lose some good hitting,” Cline said. “But we can play some good small ball.”

That aggressive smallball approach is producing some big wins for the Mustangs.

cast concrete wildlife overpass spanning Northeast Novelty Hill Road. The project purpose is to improve public safety by keeping wildlife off the road and providing safe passage for wildlife while reconnecting fragmented wildlife habitats.

The overpass and approach ramps will be layered with soil, native plants, and habitat features including snags, boulders, downed logs, and brush piles.

In addition to the overpass structure, associated ancillary features will be constructed, including exclusionary wildlife fencing, earthen wildlife jump outs (escape ramps for wildlife caught between the roadway and fencing), signage, access gates, and remote triggered infrared wildlife cameras for data collection. This project has been designed to be incorporated into the Northeast Novelty Hill Road project (CIP 1026730).

Environmental impacts will be minimized by locating the wildlife crossing to the west of forested wetlands (255 feet on the south of Northeast Novelty Hill Road and 500 feet on the north of Novelty Hill Road). Also, the south approach ramp will be aligned with the currently disturbed Puget Sound Energy transmission corridor, thus limiting the project clearing and effects. Erosion and sediment control best management practices will be used to prevent harming the nearby forest wetlands.

Disturbed areas outside of the road and wildlife overpass will be planted with native vegetation and ancillary habitat features.

Location of Proposal: The project is located in unincorporated King County along Northeast Novelty Hill Road between Redmond Ridge Drive Northeast and 234th Place Northeast. The project is east of City of Redmond in the SE 1/8 of the NE 1/4 of Section 34, Township 26N, and Range 06E. Proponent and Lead Agency: King County Department of Transportation, Road Services Division.

The lead agency for the proposal has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment.
