REDMOND BIKE PARK

Park plans ‘not in concert with neighborhood,’ opponent says City Council appeal hearing concerning bike park’s plans slated for May 8 at City Hall BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

our hands enough,” said Evan Harris, of the Bothell team Credit/No Credit. “That’s how these epidemics begin,” he said, referring specifically to concentrated populations with constant contact such as at middle and high schools.

The winners in the three cup categories — Arizona State; Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa., will represent the United States in Sydney this summer.

Harold Zeitz says he has nothing against the two decade-old, make-shift community bike park near his house on Education Hill.

But he is against to the city’s plans for expansion.

Zeitz said he is one of more than 100 residents who oppose a planned bike project that would add more dirt-jump style bike trails to a piece of city-owned utility property within Hartman Park.

Zeitz is concerned the expansion of trails for BMX and mountain bike riders will draw more people from outside the neighborhood, creating parking, noise and crime problems inside his quiet residential neighborhood. In addition, Zeitz said he worries about the impact the expansion will have on the wetlands and wooded area near the bike jumps.

“It’s not in concert with the neighborhood,” Zeitz said of the expansion plans. “It will have a huge impact on the neighborhood. We hope our concerns are heard.”

Zeitz, along with fellow Education Hill resident Rob Katz, will be representing an appellant group of 32 other neighbors at an upcoming Redmond City Council appeal hearing concerning the city’s plans for the new Redmond Bike Park.

Education Hill resident Stephen Gasser has also filed an appeal application with the city and will speak at the upcoming hearing, set for 7:30 p.m. May 8 at Redmond City Hall during a regular City Council meeting.

Students showcase solutions at tech competition NAT LEVY Reporter Newspapers

Students strolling through the University of Washington’s Bothell campus are confronted with countless challenges — tests, research papers and many more — but invading robots fighting a biological battle isn’t the typical academic bout.

Nevertheless, three students there used that idea in a technology competition that gives high school and college students the opportunity to create technology solu-

tions to help improve education, healthcare, the environment and more.

Their entry was designed to teach players about the threats of germs and bacteria and to educate about hygiene.

It was one of many at the U.S. finals of Microsoft’s Imagine Cup held Monday on the company’s Redmond campus. The Bothell team took third place in the Game Design — Windows/Xbox category.

Redmond public works director to retire Mayor: ‘There will be a hole in my directors team’ Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Bill Campbell has always enjoyed building things and when paired with his love for math, science and problem solving, it’s no surprise his passions led him to the City of Redmond Public Works Department.

“Working in public works is all about that stuff,” the City of Redmond public works director said.

Campbell, who had previously worked as an engineering instructor at Spokane Community College, was hired as a project engineer for the city’s public works department in July 1990 and worked his way up in various positions before becoming department director in 2007.

On Monday, he will retire after a 22-year career that has included projects ranging from the installation of various traffic lights throughout Redmond to the Northeast 36th Street Bridge.

The very first project Campbell was in charge of was the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of West Lake Sammamish Parkway and Bel-Red Road, which has been designated to be converted into a roundabout, though Campbell said he doesn’t know when that will be.

When asked about his very first project scheduled to receive a makeover, he laughed.

“That means I’ve been here a long time,” Campbell said.

And during this long tenure, he has come in contact with a lot of different people at the city, including former City Council

Public works director Bill Campbell stands at the traffic light intersection of West Lake Sammamish Parkway and Bel-Red Road, the first city project he was in charge of back in the early 1990s. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter member Richard Cole, who retired in December. Cole was elected to Council two years before Campbell was hired and described Campbell as a gentleman.

“He’s just such a class act,” Cole said.

He said Council began working more with Campbell when he became the city engineer in 1997 and since then, Campbell has always been a professional.

Cole said Campbell was able to anticipate any questions Council might have about projects and would provide answers before the questions were even asked.

Even if the questions aren’t asked, it is likely Campbell will still know the answer as many of his colleagues said he has an extensive knowledge about anything related to public works in Redmond.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione described Campbell, who came to Redmond when Marchione’s mother was mayor, as an encyclopedia of knowledge and he will miss that when Campbell retires.

“There will be a hole in my directors team,” Marchione said.

around to do well,” Campbell said, explaining that he was in Hawaii during this time but was available by phone and email.

Campbell’s love for his staff is reciprocated. Public works Assistant Director Ron Grant said in addition to a good working relationship, he and Campbell have also shared a good personal relationship, which Grant will miss.

“Even more than (working well together), we’re friends,” Grant said.

Campbell said he will probably try to get some work done around his house on the Sammamish Plateau, but isn’t sure what else he will do with his newfound free time yet — especially on Tuesday nights now that his attendance is no longer required at City Council meetings.

“It’s a little weird,” he said about having those evenings free now. “I’m not sure what Tuesday will be like.”

Marchione has appointed former Redmond Fire Chief Tim Fuller as the interim public works director while the city conducts a national search for a permanent director.

“While current public works managers will continue to oversee the day-to-day departmental functions, Tim will lead

the department for several months in continuing to align operations with our vision and customer service goals,” the mayor said.

Marchione said the search will begin next month and they hope to hire the new director by September.

Campbell said he will miss the people he has worked with during his many years. He said they are smart, hardworking and dedicated.

One particularly proud moment for Campbell came earlier this year. He said after the 2008 snowstorms, he worked with his staff to see how they could improve on the city’s response in such weather and went to Council to get members to authorize funding for more equipment and training.

Campbell’s department was tested during the mid-January snowstorms this year and he said they passed.

Don’t put jobs at risk for proposed Seattle stadium

T

he Port of Seattle and the Manufacturing Industrial Council raised an interesting $3 billion issue last week: a third sports stadium in the area of the Mariners’ and Seahawks’ facilities might cripple the marine-cargo business along the Seattle waterfront.

Why, you say, should we here on the Eastside care? Everyone in King County is part of the Port of Seattle district and our taxes support it. Equally, the success of the Port is vital to the success of the region.

As the groups see it, a third stadium would add more congestion to an already crowded corridor and threaten the ability to move goods in and out of the region. Seattle isn’t the only option to ship goods out or in to the United States.

The more difficult conditions here become, the more likely companies are to seek a different port.

Just this month, The Port of Tacoma lured three shippers from Seattle – about 20 percent of the Seattle Port’s business – which will make Tacoma the biggest container port on Puget Sound by cargo volume.

OK, we know that another stadium won’t wipe out the Seattle Port’s $3 billion business. But, as Dave Gering, head of the Manufacturing Industrial Council, says, “what part of $3

billion do you want to give up?”

We’d prefer none of it.

The problem with another stadium isn’t the stadium itself, but the do-nothing attitude on the part of Seattle to deal with congestion. Three overpasses were promised to deal with freight movement around the two stadiums we have now, but only one was built.

Also, while Seattle has found the money to update its

bicycle master plan, it says it doesn’t have the money to update a freight-mobility plan. Perhaps Seattle is banking on everyone riding bikes to those football, baseball and basketball games.

Or making it impossible to drive there.

Seattle isn’t the only option for a basketball/hockey arena.

Bellevue has several sites – one right on I-405 – that would do nicely. And it wouldn’t put $3 billion in jeopardy to build it.

Protect yourself from bothersome phone scams I ’m beginning to feel like one of those cartoon characters who walks around with a big target on his back.

We have survived decades without serious botheration, but all of a sudden the telephone scammers have our number. We have had multiple calls in the past two or three months that have been variants of two scams that are currently in vogue. I’ll describe them both, hopefully in enough detail that you can catch the drift early in the conversation.

The first is the “Grandma I need bail” scam. You get a call from a youthful-sounding person who starts out maybe cheerily (“Hi, Grandpa, this is your oldest and best-looking grandson”) or sound-

ing stuffed up and hassled (“Hi, Grandpa, it’s me. I need your help”) The caller will do his best to convince you that he is indeed your grandson, sometimes with the help of information gleaned from Facebook, public announcements, etc.

If you let him keep talking, he will quickly get to the point. He is in an embarrassing situation, in fact he is under arrest, and desperately in need of money to bail himself out. He is (sometimes) in a foreign country – Spain or Canada are favorites – and they won’t take his check. He wants to get out of there, and of course he doesn’t want Mom or Dad to know anything about this.

The next step in the process is for him or an accomplice to come Richard Hill

up with explicit directions for wire transfer of a specific sum to a particular account somewhere.

In one case in Oregon, the “grandparents” were directed to go to the Multonamah County Justice Center and meet with a specific individual. They did, and only the alert intervention of a custodial officer prevented the scammer, who was actually serving prison time at that moment and was in the center on an unrelated hearing, from consummating the deal.

If you pose too serious a challenge early on, the caller will suddenly realize that you aren’t the grandparent after all, that he had dialed a wrong number.

This scam has probably been around for a long time, at least a dozen years and likely more. We all want to help our grandchildren,

of course, but exercising a little healthy skepticism when you get a call like that will help ensure that it is in fact your grandchild that you are helping.

The second is the “Windows Technical Staff ” scam. I am particularly annoyed with this caller because he woke me up at about 7:15 the other morning with his pitch.

This one works by the caller insisting that he is “certified” by Microsoft and that Microsoft has received reports through the automatic system that your Windows computer has been the subject of cyber attacks, and he has been authorized to solve the problem, no charge to you of course. All he needs is some information about

Proposed bike park plans doesn’t fit with our neighborhood I’m writing in regards to the upcoming Redmond Bike Park Appeal to the City Council on May 8.

My husband and I have lived in the Education Hill neighborhood of Redmond for more than 12 years.

We were drawn to this area largely because of the true Northwest look and feel of the neighborhood – lots

of open spaces, mature evergreen trees, and trails right in our own backyard.

For the most part, the City of Redmond Parks Department has done a wonderful job developing and preserving our city parks. But recently, plans for developing a HUGE bike park on the perimeter of Hartman Park has gone askew. Homeowners in the adjacent neighborhood were told numerous times by parks staff that the existing illegal bike park would just be “improved” to make it more safe and accessible to novice

riders, but that the footprint of the jumps would remain the same. This sounded fine, so a lot of neighbors didn’t really take any notice.

However, revised plans for the bike park were submitted by the Parks Department to the City Council in June 2011 that expanded the park five to six times larger than the existing park today and included the removal of hundreds of trees from the area. Now the neighborhood has sat up and taken notice.

Not only are the plans completely different than what had previously

been communicated to the neighborhood residences, but the size and scale of the project as it stands today is completely inappropriate for a residential neighborhood.

The last chance to appeal to the City Council is coming up on May 8 at 7:30 at City Hall. I urge all Education Hill neighbors to come to the meeting and help us preserve the true Northwest look and feel of our wonderful Education Hill neighborhood.

Jean Chenevert, Redmond

www.redmond-reporter.com The information, of course, is what he is after. There may be variants where he asks for credit card information, as well, or even for payment, but the real value to the thief is information that can lead to accessing anything that is on your computer Microsoft has stated that they never make nor do they authorize representatives to make, unsolicited calls and the company further has issued explicit warnings about this scam.

Just tell the caller you don’t have a problem and hang up immediately — or if you have an air horn handy, give it a blast into the phone.

There seem to be increasing numbers of scams out there, so protect yourself by questioning any unusual call, no matter how plausible it appears to be. Be especially careful with calls that show “Private” or the equivalent in the caller id.

UW Bothell had two teams competing. KinectMath used Microsoft’s motion-capture technology, Kinect, to illustrate mathematical concepts in a way that allowed students to participate.

“What we set out to do was develop an application that can make math more approachable,” said Jeb Pavleas, a senior at UW-Bothell.

As UW-Bothell students were trying to eradicate disease, two booths down found the youngest team showing the tradeoffs involved in technological advances. The team from Springbrook High School in Silver Spring, Md., developed a game based on the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011.

Players go through a variety of levels where they must build a network of hydroelectric power, while still controlling a water wheel that blocks harmful materials such as cement from getting into the river. As players climb through the levels, the technology gets better, but the environmental consequences increase. By the end, dams can cause buildup, but more homes have power.

“Technology has positives and negatives and they have to be weighed to figure out if it’s worth it,” said Andrew Dicken, a member of the Springbrook team known as Digital Infinity, which finished in second in its division.

The contest, which Microsoft created 10 years ago, was built to help prepare aspiring programers and developers for a growing computer industry.

Microsoft estimates that by 2016, an additional 800,000 high-end computing jobs will be created.

Harris, who is just a few months away from graduating, is hoping to end up in one of those jobs. His ultimate goal is to work for either Google or Microsoft as an algorithmic developer.

Fashion is coming to SoulFood Books and it’s all for a good cause.

On Sunday night from 6-9 p.m., the bookstore and cafe at 15748 Redmond Way in Redmond will open after hours to hold a fashion show and silent auction to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital and the American Cancer Society (ACS).

“Reaching Extraordinary is Never Unattainable” (RENU) is the brainchild of organizers Maryam Rouhfar of Redmond and Asha Singh of Sammamish, both of whom have personal ties to the event’s two beneficiaries.

Rouhfar moved to the Pacific Northwest from Iran 20 years ago with her family so her sister, who had been diagnosed with a type of bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma, could be treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Half of the proceeds from RENU will go toward uncompensated care at the hospital to help families who can’t afford it — something Rouhfar is familiar with as her family had limited funds when they moved from Iran.

“This is just my way of giving back,” she said.

Rouhfar and Singh chose the ACS, which will receive the other half of the proceeds, as their second organization to donate to as a way to honor Singh’s father, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago.

Singh, a senior at Eastlake High School, has participated in the ACS’s annual Relay for Life fundraiser in the past but said she wanted to do something more. She came up with the idea of organizing a silent auction, which will include jewelry, handbags, outerwear, children’s toys, artwork and more.

The event is also Singh’s senior project and Rouhfar, who has some marketing experience is Singh’s mentor for the project. Singh said throughout the process she has learned a lot, but there is one thing she has found to be the most vital.

“I’ve learned that organization is the most important thing,” she said about putting on any type of event.

This is also Rouhfar’s first time organizing any type of event as well.

She and Singh work together at Janie and Jack in Redmond Town Center and the two decided to collaborate around late December last year and early January.

The fashion show will feature and promote Rouhfar’s developing shoe designing business, Stroke of Midnight, while at the same time, provide Singh with a quality senior project and raise money for two good causes.

“We’d never done one before,” he said. “I’ve had to pull up different fashion shows, watch them and see what their key ingredients are.”

About Singh, he said, “I’m always impressed when I meet a youngster who is driven with a mission.”

www.redmond-reporter.com Gasser agrees with Zeitz that the project is too large in scope for the surrounding neighborhood and also expressed concerns about the public notice process by the city in his two-page appeal application.

The planned park, located on two acres of wooded land near the corner of 171st Avenue Northeast and Northeast 100th Street, calls for extending the two dirt-jump style trails that are currently there and adding three more trails.

The trails would feature jumps for all levels, from beginners to advanced. In addition, a multi-use trail would be built around the perimeter of the park.

“I don’t want to back an amusement park,” said Katz, whose property borders the proposed bike park. “This is going to be a big attraction, so why are they putting this in a neighborhood?”

The hearing examiner’s decision can only be overturned by City Council if council members find “that the hearing examiner had erred someplace along the line,” according to Council President Pat Vache, who could not share his opinions about the bike park because the issue is quasi-judicial.

Redmond resident Doug Schmitt, the co-chair of the bike park’s citizen steering committee, said he is frustrated by the opponents who have delayed the bike park project, which is designed for giving neighborhood residents a healthy, recreational outlet.

“I think they are wasting a lot of people’s money and time,” he said. “The kids need something to do. It’s constructive and good. It’s exercise. If this gets kids out of the house and spending energy, then I’m all for it.”

which time residents would construct dirt ramps and jumps on the parcel, only to have the city come bulldoze them down when they got too high or dangerous.

Plans for the Redmond Bike Park began in 2009 when Mayor John Marchione instructed staff to look into a way of legitimizing the dirt jumps in the wooded area into a city park. City officials say the park would be built mostly by volunteers who use the park so the construction budget would be minimal.

In addition, this will create a sense of ownership and responsibility for users toward the park, city officials and bike park supporters say.

SO WHAT’S THE BEST SOLUTION?

The dirt jumps near Hartman Park have been around for about 20 years, during

Schmitt said no matter what the final decision is, the bike park will continue to get used and built up by the bike users.

“They would have to fence that place off with barbed wire to keep people off those trails,” Schmitt said. “They are never going to get rid of that park. That’s the reason the city wanted to do something.”

Zeitz said the best solution is to keep the park the size it is now and establish it as a city-sanctioned park.

“It’s been used for 20 years, so it must be pretty good as it is now,” Zeitz said. “Let’s formalize it, but keep it the same size. Let’s keep it a neighborhood park, not a regional park.”

FIRMLY EMBEDDED IMPLANTS Because they are firmly embedded in the jawbone, dental implants provide a prosthetic-tooth solution that feels as natural as it looks. In fact, the titanium implant that the dentist inserts in the bone underlying the replaced tooth may actually be more solidly anchored than the tooth root it replaces. Once the implant is solidly screwed into the pilot hole in the bone, it undergoes a process known as “osseointegration,” which means that the titanium metal fuses to the surrounding bone. Once this process is completed, and the implant site is fully healed, it is ready to receive the crown (visible portion of the tooth) restoration. The result is a freestanding replacement tooth that will not move or slip.

As much as an implanted tooth resembles a natural tooth in terms of structure and appearance, it must be brushed, flossed, and cared for in the same ways that the other teeth are.

Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth.

Eastsider Urquhart to run for office of King County Sheriff He said he will campaign on leadership and accoutability REPORTER STAFF

John Urquhart announced Tuesday that he will run for the office of King County Sheriff this year.

Urquhart will challenge Chief Deputy Steve Strachan, who is also running and currently serving as the interim sheriff.

If elected in November, Urquhart will finish out former Sheriff Sue Rahr’s term, which concludes at the end of 2013.

Rahr stepped down on March 31 to become director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC).

Urquhart joined the King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO) in 1988, when it was called King County Police, and worked as a public information officer and administrative aid for Rahr and her predecessor-turned-U.S. Repre-

sentative Dave Reichert. doesn’t want to risk losing Urquhart retired from citizens’ support and if KCSO earlier this year, but that happens, “it will not has remained active in the be because our deputies local policing community. don’t care. It will be beUrquhart, who grew cause of a lack of leaderup in north Seattle, has ship within the agency.”

John Urquhart served as a police officer He added that citizens in Washington for 36 years want many things from including stints as a patrol the KCSO, including officer, field training officer, masbalance. ter police officer and street-level “They want a police agency that vice/narcotics detective. is tough on crime, but understands “It was not a decision made you can’t arrest your way out of lightly, but made after careful con- every problem in society,” he said. sideration and with input from Urquhart said it is important for of a variety of individuals both the sheriff ’s office to listen to its inside and outside the sheriff ’s of- citizens before taking action and be fice, as well as my family,” he said held accountable for those actions. in a written statement about his “That means we have to hold decision to run for sheriff. ourselves accountable first,” he In his statement, the Mercer said in his statement. “We have to Island resident had two messages, take organizational responsibility one to the citizens of King County for what we do.” and one to the deputies in the Urquhart’s plan to do this is KCSO. four-fold: First, he said he would To the citizens, he said his cam- increase the KCSO’s Internal Inpaign will be based on leadership vestigations Unit staff experience and accountability. He said he to include at least one experienced

detective-sergeant immediately.

Second, he would stop the practice of transferring citizen complaints to unexperienced and untrained patrol sergeants for investigation.

Third he plans to ensure that administrative reviews of officerinvolved shootings are done on a timely basis as required by KCSO’s policy manual.

And finally, Urquhart said if elected, he will form a Use of Force Review Board, specifically to examine force issues where there is a serious injury to a citizen or deputy.

“In the weeks and months leading up to the election, I will put forth additional proposals regarding changes I will make as sheriff, including how domestic violence, gang crimes and burglaries are investigated,” he said in his statement. “I will talk about how we can get back to an emphasis on community policing and problem-solving police work.”

Urquhart added that it is also time

for sensible reform to drug laws, specifically regarding marijuana.

To the deputies of the KCSO, he said in his statement that they are given “an incredible responsibility.”

“You have the power to take someone’s freedom away and to use force to ensure compliance,” he said.

“You have the power — and sometimes the duty — to take a human life. Citizens expect you to use that power wisely, fairly and judiciously, as I will when I am sheriff.”

He continued to tell deputies that he will expect them to use that authority and be proactive in their police work, adding that he will provide them with the training and tools to do so.

Urquhart graduated from Ingraham High School in Seattle and later from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in business, which he said will help him if elected.

“I have a very strong business background so I know what it means to balance a budget and make a payroll,” he said.

While small amounts of “trans-fatty acids” (hydrogenated fats) occur naturally in meat and dairy products, they are largely artificial fats that are added to processed foods to extend their shelf life and lend a buttery flavor. However, not only do trans-fats cause a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, they are also linked to impaired cognitive function and brain shrinkage. Thus, people of all ages, and seniors in particular, are strongly encouraged to avoid foods containing trans fats.

On the other hand, they are urged to eat brain-healthy foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. A list of these foods includes fatty fish, nuts such as walnuts, antioxidant fruits (berries) and vegetables (spinach), and whole grains.

P.S. To maintain sharper thinking ability, avoid processed meats, highfat dairy products, and meats rich in omega-6 fats.

Overlake receives national green award

Middle School students participate in the SustainAbility! Project during Overlake’s recent Project Week plant vegetables and herbs in The Overlake School Learning Garden.

The garden teaches students not only how plants grow and how to grow their own food, but about the health and environmental benefits of fresh, locally grown food and sustainable gardening practices. Courtesy photo

The Overlake School in Redmond is among four schools in Washington to receive the U.S. Department of Education’s new Green Ribbon Schools Award.

The award recognizes public and private schools that excel in the areas of environmental impact and energy efficiency, healthy school environments and environmental and sustainability education.

Overlake, which serves 533 students in fifth through 12th grades, was the only private school to be recognized. The three public schools were Camelot Elementary School in Auburn, Tahoma Junior

grandpas who like

to make silly faces

High School in Ravensdale and Secondary Academy for Success in Bothell. The four schools were the only schools in the state to be nominated for the award.

Overlake’s Green Team of parents, students, faculty and staff was founded in 2007 after supporters donated nearly $100,000 at the school’s annual auction to fund a “green” program.

Service Learning Director Chris Berry served as Green Team coordinator for the first several years.

Berry will represent Overlake in Washington D.C. in June at the Green Ribbon Schools Award ceremony.

Also representing the school will be Melody Gulledge, project director for the construction of Overlake’s Outdoor Wise Learning Spaces (OWLS), which are outdoor learning and fitness areas and trails. Gullege now serves as the school’s director of sustainability.

“Green Ribbon Schools demonstrate compelling examples of the ways schools can expand their coursework while also helping children build real world skill sets, cut school costs, and provide healthy learning environments,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

Here are four things every cat lover should know about this mysterious plant that preoccupies our furry friends!

1. Catnip is an actual plant.

A member of the mint family, Nepeta cataria L. (aka catnip) grows throughout the United States. The plant features small, lavender flowers and jagged, heart-shaped leaves that smell faintly of mint.

2. It’s easy to grow.

Cat lovers who possess a green thumb can grow catnip from seed. This herbaceous flowering plant will return each year with proper care.

3. Your cat may have any or all of the following catnip effects.

-- meow and roll in the catnip -- rub their cheeks against the spot where catnip has ben sprinkled -- roll on their back, or gaze up at the ceiling -- run around the room like a kitten playing with a friend -- settle into a dreamy pose 4. Most cats love it.

Community service first, baseball second Overlake-Bear Creek baseball team helps others during trip to Dominican Republic BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

In the rural parts of Dominican Republic, there are no plush turf baseball fields.

An open patch of dirt and weeds is where kids play baseball.

There are no fences around the ball field. Instead, grazing cows serve as the home run marker.

Players arrive at the baseball field on horse rather than in a car.

There is no such thing as concession stands in this country, which has about a third of its population living under the poverty line.

Many of the kids love to play baseball, but can’t because they don’t have shoes or a shirt to wear.

The Overlake-Bear Creek baseball team recently got to see firsthand the harsh realities of this Caribbean country along with the passion and fortitude of its residents.

Earlier this month, three coaches and 13 players embarked on a oneweek service trip to the Dominican Republic, where they held a skills clinic for underprivileged kids, visited an all-boys orphanage and provided food for families in need.

The Growls did play four baseball games against local teams, but this trip wasn’t about sharpening their baseball skills.

It was all about helping others while building team camaraderie, according to Growls head coach Mike Davidson.

“The truth is, it was never a baseball trip first,” said Davidson.

“That was just the context to get this group together. It was first and

foremost a service trip.”

The trip was part of Overlake’s service project week. There were three students from the Bear Creek

School who went along on the trip and the school’s administration was in full support of the program, Davidson said.

The trip was administered by an organization called SCORE International, which specializes in mission trips to the Dominican Republic and other countries, including trips for sports teams.

During their trip, the Growls didn’t get any wins on the baseball field, but they scored plenty of victories with the people they met along the way.

Overlake sophomore Zander Gosanko organized a used baseball gear drive before the trip that generated 200 pounds of baseball gloves, bats, shoes and more. During the trip, players gave the gear out to opposing team members and the kids they taught at a skills clinic in Boca Chica.

Growl players also gave Dominican Republic players their practice jerseys, hats and bats and sometimes even their shoes after the game.

“It was a great feeling that we were able to help kids play baseball, which is something they love to do,” said Gasanko.

Even in warm ups and in between innings, the Dominican Republic players played with an unrivaled passion and fire, according to Growl players and coaches.

“Just watching them warm up, you could see they really love baseball,” said Overlake senior Michael Andrea, one of six seniors who made the trip. “Coming back here we really realized how good we have it and that makes us love the sport that much more.”

The trip has certainly had an impact on the Growls as they have won four of their five games since returning from the trip. While the wins are racking up for the Growls, their new perspective on life and the meaning of team will never be forgotten.

“This trip was amazing,” Gasanko said. “It definitely made me value what I have and made be thankful that I get to carry a team bag to the ball park.”

The Redmond High School baseball team pulled out another win Monday night — one that looked impossible after the first inning.

Skyline led 8-0 after the first inning, but the Mustangs scored five runs each in the third and fourth innings to rally for a 12-8 victory at Hartman Park.

The Mustangs have won 11 straight after Monday's Kingco 4A victory against the Crest Division-leading Spartans.

With that win, the Mustangs clinched a spot in the Kingco 4A playoff tournament, which starts Saturday, May 5 at Woodinville High School.

Redmond improved to 8-4 in the division race and are just one game behind the Spartans. After starting the season 0-7, the Mustangs are now 11-7 overall. The Mustangs' game against Newport Wednesday night was rained out and was played Thursday after the Reporter's deadline. That was the final home game for the 12 Redmond seniors.

One of those seniors, pitcher Thomas Crosley, came on in relief in the first inning and shut down the Spartans, allowing just two base runners after the Spartans' first-inning outburst.

Redmond started its rally with a five-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run

double by sophomore Brandon Burditt. Redmond scored five more runs in the fourth as Cody Beliel, Peter Hendron, Lucas Eliason and Peyton Lutz all notched hits in the inning.

Burditt finished with two hits and three RBIs. Both Beliel and Hendron each went 3 for 5 and scored three runs.

The Mustangs scored two more in the fifth inning and senior Adam Cline pitched the final 2 1/3 innings for his third save of the year.

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.

When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning firm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new office and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-efficient office building in the Pacific Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certification and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and offices — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed.

Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — 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.
