The Redmond City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to uphold a hearing examiner’s decision to approve the city’s site entitlement plan for the proposed Redmond Bike Park to be built within Hartman Park on Education Hill. The vote followed an appeal hearing during which Education Hill residents Steve Gasser and Harold Zeitz addressed the Council to have the hearing examiner’s decision, which was made last December, overturned. Redmond City Attorney James Haney also spoke, representing the city during the proceedings. Both Gasser and Zeitz live near the proposed park location and said they are not against the idea of formalizing the 2.5-acre site at Hartman Park, where neighborhood kids have been building dirt ramps and jumps for the past two decades, into an official bike park. They are concerned however, about the city’s plans for expansion — among other things. “We were all told the size of the park would not change,” Zeitz said, referring to the residents of Education Hill. He said the proposed plans have the bike park at about eight times its current size. Zeitz, along with fellow Education Hill resident Robert Katz, represented an appellant group of 32 Education Hill residents during the hearing. Zeitz was the only one permitted to speak according to city code, but about 100 [ more APPEAL page 3 ]

Redmond’s blooming market Redmond Saturday Market kicks off 37th season with music, animals, arts and food RAECHEL DAWSON For the Reporter
I
t was a typical Northwest morning: clouds, cool breezes and coffee. And yet, when produce vendors and early risers were suddenly jerked awake by the loud beat of a drum, it was a signal that this was not a normal day. It was the kickoff of the 37th annual Redmond Saturday Market, which runs every Saturday through October at the corner of Leary Way Northeast and Bear Creek Parkway. The Redmond High School band wel-
comed the crowd and Redmond Mayor John Marchione cut the ribbon to signal the commencement. And one thing was certain: Those who were there could not ignore the aroma of Italian pizza, tamales, jelly-filled pies and other tantalizing goodies.
“They have really good food,” exclaimed Mary Schloredt, a Woodinville resident. “The tamales are to die for,” added Schloredt’s husband, Mark. “And then there’s a man that sells $8 meatball sandwiches. Then we just discovered this lady down here that sells these little mushroom beef pea pies, (and) there are muffins with all this jam ...” The Schloredts know good food. Mark Schloredt explains that Mary, besides being a “five star” cook herself, had a mother who was in the food business for 35 years. They say she was even a chef on TV. Veraci Pizza, a wood-fired pizza business since 2004, is one of 18 new vendors at the market this season. Owner Marshall Jett said they are “excited to be here” and have wanted to be a part of the market for a long time. [ more MARKET page 7 ]
Keeping hope alive: More than 60 people attend vigil for missing boy Matt Phelps mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Music filled Heritage Park in Kirkland Sunday night as the sun drifted behind the Seattle skyline in the distance. More than 60 people were on hand for “A Night for Sky” to pray for the safe return
of now 3-year-old Sky Metalwala and lend support to the boy’s father Solomon Metalwala. But the calm scene, on the six-month anniversary of his disappearance, was in stark contrast to the anxiety that his father and family has faced. “We need to keep the story alive,” said Jesse Mayor, a friend of Solomon who is
the administrator of the Find Sky Facebook page. “I know that this event is going to keep it in front of people. Everyone has a reach and we need to get everyone to see Sky’s face.” The event was organized by City Church of Kirkland and Belltown, in Seattle, of which Solomon is a devout member.
The cause has been relatively quiet since the last candle-light vigil, which took place in downtown Bellevue on Feb. 18, other than a few media interviews. That vigil also had around 60 people attend but was organized by the group Search and Seek. [ more VIGIL page 5 ]

Haney explained during his rebuttal that while the bike trails within the cityowned parcel of land will expand, the footprint of the site itself will remain the same size. In addition to their appeal of the site entitlement plan, Zeitz and Katz have also filed an appeal with King County Superior Court regarding the State Environmental Policy Act’s (SEPA) determination that the bike park would not have a significant impact on the environment.

A good plan to fix King County juvenile center
T
he King County Council has made a good decision to put a $210 million levy on the Aug. 7 Primary ballot to rebuild the rundown Youth Services Center in Seattle. The project is needed and the cost is reasonable. The center consists of courtrooms, offices, classrooms and a juvenile detention center. The council voted unanimously to put the issue on the ballot. Last summer we had concerns about financing repairs to the facility. The repairs were – and are – necessary. What we didn’t like was that Democrats on the King County Council made them part of a sales tax boost to pay for public safety. We called it a “switcheroo” – tacking a last-minute project on to a vote for public safety and forcing the public to make an “all or nothing” decision. The public chose nothing. That didn’t make conditions at the Youth Detention Center go away; it just made the problems there one year older. Now is a reasonable time to make the fixes. The cost is acceptable: about 7 cents per $100,000 of assessed value. To put it in simpler terms, it’s about $35 a year for the owner of a $500,000 home. Also, a property tax is a better choice than a sales tax because it is less regressive. Sales taxes hit the poor much
harder than those who are better off. So, what do we get for the money? Plenty. The revenue would replace the three buildings on site — the Alder Tower, Alder Wing and Youth Detention Facility. Sections of those buildings are more than 60 years old and have significant maintenance needs. By replacing all three buildings, the county also has the opportunity to reduce the size of its foot print on the 9.1 acre site, and sell some of the land to developers to help pay for the construction. Most people – thankfully – haven’t had a reason to go to the center. The Youth Services Center is the county’s central facility for cases involving children, which are reportedly among the most stressful for families. They include juvenile offender cases, child abandonment, abuse and neglect cases
and cases involving runaways. The five judges and two commissioners who serve there make such decisions as whether a child should be removed from their home or whether a minor should be detained for committing an offense. County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg calls the place chaotic. Conditions are so bad that he has brought Popsicles to his staff there when the temperature indoors has reached 90 degrees. “As a symbol to youth and families, the building is an absolute failure,” he told the council. Voters can fix this by voting yes on the levy this August. They should. It’s a good proposal and long overdue.

What has President Obama done for us, anyway? These days, especially on channels that provide cushy employment for right wing pundits, we often hear Barack Obama’s presidency described as a failure, even though he inherited two foreign occupations and an economic mess of epic proportions left by his predecessor, George W. Bush, even though he has yet to complete his first term, and even though the economy has improved in virtually every respect since he took office. The president’s major legislative accomplishments are probably familiar to many readers of this column, since they’ve been extensively debated and litigated. But that’s hardly the extent of President Obama’s record as president. Barack Obama has: • Extended benefits to same-sex domestic partners of federal employees. In addition to signing the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, President Barack Obama in 2010 issued a presidential memorandum using his authority under existing law to grant LGBT employees some of the same benefits that heterosexual employees already enjoy with their spouses. • Created new community service corps. Through the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, signed in March 2009, the Obama administration created five new service corps to work in low income neigh-
borhoods, which bolstered the number of volunteers working on community service projects to around 250,000 from 75,000. The Act expanded AmeriCorps, originally created by President Bill Clinton, and increased the education award provided to AmeriCorps members in exchange for their service to $5,350 per student. • Increased auto efficiency (CAFE) standards. In 2010, the Obama administration finalized new fuel efficiency standards for automobiles sold in the United States. By model year 2016, vehicles must get an average of 35.5 miles per gallon, which the Environmental Protection Agency estimates will save the typical car owner $4,000 in fuel over the lifetime of the vehicle. • Negotiated the New START Treaty with Russia. In early 2010, the Obama administration announced it had reached a new nuclear arms reduction agreement with the Russian Federation. The agreement then went before the U.S. Senate for ratification. Despite senseless objections from hawkish Republicans like John McCain of Arizona, the treaty was approved and is now in effect. Its terms stipulate that the United States and Russia must take half of their strategic nuclear missile launchers out of Andrew Villeneuve

service. In addition, the number of deployed warheads must be limited to 1,550, down nearly two-thirds from the original START treaty negotiated decades ago. • Published a White House visitor log for the first time in U.S. history. Prior to President Obama’s inauguration, no administration had ever voluntarily disclosed the names of the people visiting the White House. But now it’s possible to see who is coming to the West Wing to lobby, thanks to the president’s increased commitment to open government. • Appointed two women to the U.S. Supreme Court. Barack Obama is the first president in history to appoint more than one woman to the Supreme Court (Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton appointed Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, respectively; Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, both of whom were confirmed). • Signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, outlawing pay discrimination. In the landmark Supreme Court case Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, the Supreme Court refused to award back pay to Goodyear production supervisor Lily Ledbetter, who unknowingly had not been paid as much as male counterparts had for years. The Fair Pay Act, the first bill signed by President Obama, says that the statute of limitations for filing
an equal pay lawsuit under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 gets reset with the issuance of each new paycheck. • Established the Credit Card Bill of Rights. It used to be legal for credit card companies to arbitrarily impose rate increases on borrowers for any reason at any time. Not anymore. Under the Credit Card Bill of Rights, signed by President Obama, banks can’t do things like raise interest rates on existing balances just because a payment was missed. • Finally, in a significant but under-appreciated piece of legislation signed in 2010, the president saw to it that the federal government stopped paying Wall Street banks to provide student loans. The $68 billion in savings realized from cutting out the banks were redirected to expanding Pell Grants and helping more students pay off outstanding loans. These are just 10 examples of advances championed and implemented by President Obama that have raised America’s quality of life, making the United States of America a more perfect union.

Solomon. “We knew we had to do something because Solomon was getting depressed,” said Terry. “He is not a guy that gets depressed.” Solomon said that he has gained strength from his faith and the people around him. “Without family and friends how can you live a normal life?” asked Solomon, who has also gone back to school for accounting. “You can’t do it without a church.” Sky allegedly went missing in November while in the custody of his mother, Redmond resident Julia Biryukova, who has not talked to media or the
police about the disappearance. She and Solomon had been in the midst of a bitter divorce and custody battle for their two children. Biryukova told police her car ran out of gas the morning of the disappearance, as she attempted to take the boy to the hospital. She left the boy in the unlocked car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast while she walked with Maile to get help. When she returned to the car, approximately an hour later, he was gone, according to Biryukova. Police later tested the car and found that it had gas and there
were no mechanical issues. The Bellevue Police Department are continuing to investigate the case. “There is still no releasable information from the detectives,” said Bellevue Police Department spokesperson Carla Iafrante. “It is still a very active missing child case and (we) are hoping for the safe return of Sky.” Solomon addressed his family, friends and media in attendance on Sunday and told them the Sunday morning Sky went missing was like any other. He got up, got dressed and got ready to go to church when police arrived at his home in Kirkland. The police told Solomon that Sky was missing and asked if the boy was in the house. “I said if he was here he wouldn’t be missing,” said Solomon, who only had 20 minutes to process what was happening before going to the Bellevue Police Department. “I was shaking. I didn’t know what was going on.” Solomon said that he is also doing everything he can to find Sky for his sister. He said he wants Maile to know he did everything he could to find her brother. That Internet footprint is becoming very large, as Solomon has done nearly 140 media interviews. Mayor asked everyone in
attendance to get involved with the search’s social media campaign. “Every person here can reach 500 people and altogether can reach 30,000,” said Mayor. “Every person can help get the word out … There is someone out there who doesn’t know what they know, who has seen him every day and doesn’t know he is missing.” Those who spoke gave Solomon high praise for his faith, hope and resolve. Solomon’s friends from City Church, Peter Denton and Dana Pierce, led the group in spiritual song and prayer. Candles were passed out to the small crowd as the sun disappeared. Both Solomon and Terry
won’t speculate on the wellbeing of Sky, but they both insist that Biryukova knows something and may hold the key. “She is taking advice from her lawyer,” said Solomon, who has called his now ex-wife a coward. “I don’t get it.” Terry said that she is hiding behind the fifth amendment: “It is selfish and a short-term fix.” Solomon said that he is trying to not get angry. “I am more focused on getting Sky justice,” said Solomon. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Bellevue Police tip line at (425) 577-5656 or email pdtipline@bellevuewa.gov.

Father holds vigil for his missing son “I needed to kind of regroup and focus on both of us,” said Solomon referring to his 5-year-old daughter Maile of whom he has gained full custody. “She is a little girl and she has been through a lot. I had to become a dad again.” Solomon said that his daughter has started preschool and is “very stable,” living in Kirkland. His attorney Clay Terry, who has been at Solomon’s side for most of the past six months, said that Maile has had to be reintroduced to the Metalwalas. But getting to know her family on her father’s side was not the only thing the little girl has had to relearn. Terry and Solomon said that Maile was severely underweight and was not in good condition when she was turned over to CPS. “This little girl was told to walk in circles in her room for exercise because her mother would not take her outside,” said Terry.

Program helps immigrants find their way Eastside Cultural Navigator Program serves growing ethnic population BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com
Facing a forest of language and cultural barriers, Chor Pehn Ng admits he was “lost” when he first moved to the United States from Malaysia in 1999. But now Ng is helping local immigrants and refugees find their way as the program coordinator for the Eastside Cultural Navigator Program, which has an office at the Together Center in downtown Redmond. The six-year-old program helps Eastside newcomers from other countries who speak little or no English by providing education and access to a wide variety of services, such as navigating the bus transportation system, enrolling in school, setting up a checking account and more. Ng said many immigrants do not have similar programs in their home country and don’t even know these type of services exist. “When I first came here I was lost,” Ng said. “I didn’t even know I could use these types of services. If you need help, we will help you.” Several Eastside city officials, including Redmond Council members Kim Allen, John Stilin and Pat Vache were at the Together Center Tuesday morning to learn more about the program and help promote it within the community. The program, which is managed by Seattle-based Chinese Information and Service Center (CISC), just served Asian American immigrants when it first started in 2007, but now provides services to a wide

variety of the Eastside’s growing ethnic population, according to CISC’s executive director Alaric Bien. The program now features staff members who can speak Spanish and four different languages of India at its Redmond location. There are Russian- and Chinese-speaking staff at the program’s other location in Bellevue at the Bellevue Mini City Hall in the Crossroads Shopping Center. In addition, clients have access to people who speak Korean and Vietnamese through CISC’s office in Seattle, Bien said. Bien said CISC is currently working on implementing a video conference program through Google+ so clients can contact the staff member they need from either the Redmond or Bellevue location. But as Allen points out, the Eastside Cultural Navigator Program is more than just translation services. “They are actually finding answers and solutions
to someone’s problems,” Allen said. The cities of Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue all help fund the program with Redmond currently contributing approximately $23,000 per year, according to Bien. The program started as a pilot program for the first two years, but the cities continued the funding for the program after seeing “the impact it was making in Redmond and across the Eastside,” Bien said. “They recognized the value (of the program).” When the program began its pilot status in 2007, it served approximately 200 clients and in 2011 it helped more than 1,500 people, according to Bien. From prenatal clients to senior citizens, Eastside Cultural Navigator Program assists dozens of people each week at its Redmond office with a myriad of services such as finding employment and housing, signing up for English classes and even starting a new business.
YOU NEED HELP –
The program has been a valuable community asset, especially for Spanishspeaking immigrants, since the recession hit hard, Bien said. Alejandra Villarreal, the Spanish Cultural Navigator for the Redmond office, said she helps clients with filling out forms to find housing and food assistance and ways to get around on the public transportation system so families can find stability in a new culture. “We have changed many, many lives,” she said. The key to the program is building trust with the client, according to Uma Sehgal, the Indian Cultural Navigator. “It’s about relationship building,” she said. “We give them help in any way. … We just show them the way.” Redmond city officials in attendance on Tuesday praised the program and its location, which is housed in the Together Center where a variety of other human services are located.

Program staff can refer immigrants who are domestic violence victims or have mental illness to other organizations at the Together Center. Allen requested a stack of pamphlets about the program so she could distribute them at City Hall to help spread the word. “One of the pillars our council set as a priority is diversity — recognizing it and helping to facilitate the challenges,” she said. “This is a huge step toward that. These are our citizens, this is who we serve. I’m proud to have this in Redmond.” Oftentimes, immigrants and refugees suffer from depression because they don’t know where to turn for help, according to Pam Mauk, executive director of the Together Center. “That sense of isolation can lead to mental illness,” she said. “Taking that first step, knowing how to get on a bus and knowing how to get a question answered is a big deal for people’s mental health as well.”

New Redmond Ridge farmers market set to open Saturday

Marshall said his business has many fans on the Eastside from Bellevue and Kirkland; also, Veraci Pizza caters weddings and is a vendor on the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Willapa Hills Cheese, owned by Stephen Hueffed and Amy Turnbull, also set up shop for the first time this season in Redmond. Their dairy farm is located in Doty, Wash., west of Centralia. “We mostly specialize in blue cheeses,” said helper Michelle Grome. “We raise a little over 100 sheep on our farm and then we get our cows’ milk from a neighbor.” But the Redmond Saturday Market was good for more than just food. Kazoua Yang and her husband, Cher Cha, help out with Cha’s mother’s tulip and vegetable business, ES Garden. Yang said she’s been at the market for “quite a while.” “I just love how everybody’s so friendly with each other,”
said Yang. “This market, it’s not like the other markets where you’re not really interacting with other vendors.” As the clouds began to part just before noon, Swamp Soul started warming up as well. Their French Cajun/Louisiana sound heated up the crowd with a little help from the meager sunshine. “It’s a folk music,” said accordion player John Morris. “Basically, the Cajuns were French people.”

Conducting musical growth Girsh celebrates 20 years of leading Redmond-based Eastside Symphony Samantha Pak
MUSIC FOR SPRING
spak@redmond-reporter.com
Alexei Girsh’s relationship with music began at the young age of 7 when his father enrolled him in music school in Russia. Although this blossomed into a lifelong love, the 21-year Redmond resident, who plays the cello and piano, admits that as a boy he was quite indifferent to music and just went along with his father’s decisions. “Father was very involved in music ... At first, I didn’t care,” the 65-year-old said. Music didn’t become a bigger part of Girsh’s life until he entered his teens and since then, he has never looked back: He studied music in college in his native Russia, receiving a bachelor’s degree from the Novosibirsk State Conservatoire in Novosibirsk and a master’s degree in conductor of symphony and opera from the Urals Mussorgsky State Conservatoire in Ekaterinburg. And this year Girsh, who moved to Redmond from St. Petersburg, Russia in 1991, celebrates his 20th year as conductor for the Redmondbased Eastside Symphony. His other musical credits since moving to Redmond include stints as music director of the Washington Wind Symphony, Youth

Philharmonic Northwest and Bellevue Ballet Orchestra. Girsh is also currently music director of the Renton Youth Symphony orchestra and conductor of the Boeing Concert Band. In 2000 he was honored with the City of Redmond’s Patron of the Arts Award. He also founded the Concert Opera of Seattle where he is artistic and music director. Eastside Symphony, a nonprofit orchestra, curServing you since 1986
rently boasts a membership of about 65 people, but it hasn’t always been that way. “There were 10 people, maybe 12,” Girsh said about his early days with the group. “No brass section — it was very small.” Eastside Symphony board of directors President Jeff Evans agrees. “It was worse than a chamber orchestra,” he said with a laugh. “It was almost a quartet.” Your neighborhood Comfort Food Specialist
Evans said as recently as five years ago when he joined the orchestra, the viola section was so small they had to use a microphone during performances just to be heard. Evans, who began as a violinist with Eastside Symphony, switched to the viola to fill out that section. But the orchestra has grown substantially since it began in the mid 1980s as the Redmond Community Orchestra, which was founded by Penelope Orloff and Charles Long. The name changed to Eastside Symphony and the group became a nonprofit around the same time Girsh joined in 1992. Girsh said the orchestra has come a long way since he joined and acknowledged that it took a lot of work. “It takes a lot of patience,” he said about growth.
Mel Brooks’ Musical Comedy
Evans said as a conductor, Girsh has plenty of patience for someone who works with mostly amateur musicians. “He puts up with a lot,” Evans said. “He gets it done and keeps his good nature.” Evans said he appreciates working with a conductor he gets along with, but also has high standards. Although he has a role in Eastside Symphony’s current state, Girsh said the symphony’s success is the result of a lot of hard work put in by a lot of different people. From the board of directors, to the advertising department to the people behind the orchestra’s website, Girsh had nothing but high praise for the organization. “We have a very good team,” he said. In addition to those within Eastside Symphony, the orchestra has received a lot of support from the surrounding community. The group rehearses at Redmond High School and performs at the Redmond Performing Arts Center located on the school’s campus. Eastside Symphony also performs throughout the city at various events and venues. “Redmond’s always been very supportive,” said Hugh Anderson, who helped establish the orchestra under its current name. Eastside Symphony’s next performance is its Music for Spring concert, which will be Saturday, May 19.
GETTING YOURSELF INTO A SCRAPE If you are concerned about bad breath (“halitosis”), you should know that it is caused by malodorous volatile sulfur compounds produced by anaerobic bacteria that live on the back of the tongue and in the deep recesses of gums. The best way to address this problem, aside from brushing and flossing, involves scraping away accumulations of odor-causing bacteria with a tongue scraper. While some people may think that simply brushing the tongue will do the trick, the fact is that brushing may only move bacteria around on the tongue and allow it continue to linger on toothbrush bristles. A dedicated tongue scraper effectively removes waste products on the surface of the tongue and washes up cleanly. If you already use a mouthwash, tongue scraping beforehand will substantially increase its effectiveness in reducing bad breath. Whatever your age, it’s important to keep your mouth clean and healthy, and feeling good. There’s nothing like a bright smile, filled with sparkling teeth and healthy gums. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we provide dental services for every type of dental concern. We can help guide you to the secrets of having a beautiful, bright smile. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue, where we offer dental care for the entire family with an emphasis on preventive care. Let us show you how to properly care for your teeth. Please call 425.641.4111 to schedule an appointment.

Lester acknowledged Sound Transit’s East Link Light Rail scheduled to come to the Eastside in the next few years, but admitted that he wasn’t sure it would be coming soon enough.
“I’m all for (light rail) but I don’t think I’ll be around to use it,” he said. Marchione said in addition to the city’s senior population, the idea of a circulator bus system has also piqued the interest of local businesses.

To address this, the mayor said city staff has created 20-year plan for long-term maintenance that will help coordinate capital projects. “No city in the state has done this before,” he said, adding that the city has already won awards for the plan.

Speed believed to be a factor in car crash near Redmond home Investigators believe speed was a factor in a single-car crash that sent a 90-year-old Redmond woman to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with serious injuries Monday afternoon, according to a Redmond Police Department (RPD) press release. The woman, who suffered injuries to her ankle, wrist and ribs, is currently in serious condition at Harborview's intensive care
unit, a hospital spokesperson told the Reporter Thursday morning. The woman was driving a 1994 Honda Accord southbound on 160th Avenue Northeast when she failed to make a right turn on Northeast 55th Way, the press release said. After failing to make the turn, the car ran into a rocky embankment and flipped before landing upright just inches from a home. The collision is currently under investigation by the RPD's Traffic Unit, which
has been unable to estimate how fast the car was traveling when it failed to make the turn, according to police spokesman Jim Bove. "We will not be able to determine how fast the car was traveling because what she hit was not stable," Bove said. "Since it moved there’s likely no way to calculate an exact speed and even if we did, it wouldn’t be conclusive." Bove said investigators are having the car inspected to see if there were any mechanical problems before the collision occurred.

ccording to a recent survey conducted by a leading national insurance company, more than seven out of 10 Americans with home insurance mistakenly believe that their insurance carriers would pay for a full cost to rebuild from a catastrophic loss and reimburse the full cost to replace personal belongings. However, this is often not the case. Here are some points to consider with your home insurance: • What’s covered? Ask your insurance agent what your policy will cover. • Does the insurance company offer “guarantee replacement cost” coverage for the home? This coverage provides peace of mind that your house will be repaired or replaced, even if that cost exceeds your coverage limit. • Is coverage for full replacement of personal property offered?

your earnings can grow tax deferred. And whether or not you have access to a 401(k) or other employersponsored plan, you can probably also contribute to a traditional IRA, which offers tax-deferred earnings, or a Roth IRA, which provides tax-free earnings, provided you’ve held your account at least five years and you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’ve reached age 59½. To save for college, you may want to explore a 529 plan, which also provides tax-free earnings, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses.* • Keep investing. The financial markets will always move up and down — so in some months, you might not like what you see on your investment statements. But the most successful investors keep investing in good times and bad. If you decide to take a “timeout” from investing and head to the sidelines during a market slump, you could miss out on the next rally. By following these suggestions, you can keep moving forward toward two special times in your life: when your children attain the higher education that can help them succeed in life and when you can enjoy the retirement for which you’ve worked so hard.

Short-haired Stangs set a date with state New-look players have common goal: to win a state championship BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com
Short on hair, but long on talent, the Redmond High School baseball team is looking to write a storybook ending to a forgettable start to the season. After losing its first seven games, the Mustangs will be making their third straight trip to the Class 4A state tournament with short-cut hairdos and a common goal: to win a state championship. “It’s been a lot of fun,” said Redmond coach Dan Pudwill. “It’s a really neat group. They have fun together and they really appreciate this run.” Fueled by their three Division I college recruits — Peter Hendron, Adam Cline and Patrick McGrath — the Mustangs won 12 straight after going 0-7 to start the season. But then lost their regular-season finale against Issaquah, sparking a trip to a Woodinville barbershop. Being the superstitious players they are, Mustang players didn’t cut their hair during the 12-game streak that catapulted up to the No. 2 spot in the Kingco 4A Crest Division. Once the streak ended, senior Conner Bozman suggested all the players get a buzz cut or a mohawk. McGrath said he usually wears his hair long, but likes his new look — and the Mustangs’ winning ways. “At first it felt kind of weird,” he said. “But I like it a lot. Must be good luck.” Following the team-bonding barbershop outing, the Mustangs won their first two Kingco 4A play-

The wins — 3-2 against Woodinville last Saturday and a 9-1 versus Newport on Monday — earned the Mustangs a fifth trip to state in the last six years. The Mustangs played Issaquah in the Kingco 4A title game on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Woodinville, after the Reporter’s deadline. The first round of the state tournament starts May 19.
ONE-TWO PITCHING PUNCH
Cline, a Columbia Universitybound senior and Hendron, who will play at Santa Clara University, both entered the season unproven on the mound, according to
Pudwill. But the pair of aces has evolved into one of the best onetwo punches in Kingco. Cline pitched a complete-game gem against Woodinville and Hendron went the distance against Newport, which managed just one hit against the power-pitching righty. “They were fairly untested and unproven going into the year,” Pudwill said of Cline and Hendron. “But I fully expected them to dominate Kingco and they lived up to those expectations.” Cline, a whiz kid who aspires to be a hedge-fund manager, is an analytical pitcher who attacks the strike zone with movement on his fastballs. Hendron, who plays the piano
and the guitar, is a prototypical power pitcher who can rev his fastball up to the mid-to-upper 80s, according to Pudwill. Both pitchers have four complete-game wins heading into the Kingco 4A title game. “They are both pretty similar,” said McGrath, who plays shortstop. “Both throw strikes. Adam has more movement on his fastballs. He’s a ground-ball pitcher and gets a bunch of double plays.” “Hendron is more of a power pitcher,” McGrath added. “He’s got electrifying stuff. He’s got a great arm.” Off the mound, Cline has a 3.5 G.P.A. and scored a 33 out of 36 on [ more BASEBALL page 15 ]

Kinssies, Lord lead Redmond track and field teams at league meet REPORTER STAFF
Fueled by seniors Jessica Kinssies and Katie Lord, the Redmond High School girls’ track and field team leads the team standings after the first day of the twoday Kingco 4A meet.

PREP REPORT
Overlake-Bear Creek drops playoff opener
The Overlake-Bear Creek baseball team will have to win two straight loser-out playoff games on Saturday to earn a berth to the Class 1A state tournament after falling to Charles Wright Academy, 8-6, in the Tri-District tournament Wednesday at Marymoor Park. The Growls (11-5) take on Orting at 1 p.m. Saturday at Sehome High School. If the Growls win that game, they will play again at 4 p.m. against a team to be determined for the Tri-District’s fifth and final spot to state. Aaron Digenova and Ben Kelleran each had two hits and scored two runs for the Growls in the loss against Charles Wright.
OVERLAKE SOCCER CLINCHES STATE SPOT
The Overlake School boys’ soccer clinched a Class 1A state berth Tuesday with a 6-3 win against Bellevue Christian in a Tri-District playoff game at Sammamish High School. The Owls improved to 14-0-1 and will play Vashon Island at 6 p.m. Friday at Sammamish High in a TriDistrict seeding game. If Overlake beats Vashon Island, it will be the No. 2 seed from the Tri-District and will play host a team to be determined in the first round of the state tournament, which begins May 16. If the Owls lose, they will be the No. 4 seed and will have to play in a road game for their state opener. Overlake earned its fourth
state berth in the last five years and finished second in 2010. Five different Overlake players scored a goal in the win over Bellevue Christian with Dean Poplawski leading the way with two goals. Overlake’s Jesse Klug scored a goal and collected two assists and teammates Joe Dolack, Gavin Mackinlay and Bryan Lin each scored goals in the win. Poplawski’s second goal gave Overlake a 5-1 lead late in the game.
Overlake girls’ lacrosse team wins playoff opener
The Overlake School girls’ lacrosse team opened the state playoff tournament with a 15-4 win against Bainbridge Tuesday at The Overlake School. Katie Hill led the way for the Owls with three goals and three assists. Teammate Grace Grubb scored three goals and collected one assist. In addition, Zoe Pinczower and Mariel Frank each scored two goals for the Owls, who improved to 8-4-1. Overlake faces powerhouse Bainbridge Island (11-1-1) in a state quarterfinal at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bainbridge Stadium. The Overlake School boys’ lacrosse team is also playing in the state tournament and takes on Ballard in its state opener at 1 p.m. Saturday at The Overlake School.

Stangs earn state spot for third straight year [ BASEBALL from page 1] on his ACT test and plans to major in economics at Columbia. He was also considering two other Ivy League colleges — Harvard University and Dartmouth College. As for Hendron, he is the second one from his family to make a name for himself at Redmond High. Hendron’s sister, Erika, was an ace pitcher for the Mustangs’ fastpitch team and graduated in 2009. She now plays at Western Washington, where she is majoring in occupational therapy, Peter said. Peter, who pitched a perfect game earlier in the season, said he doesn’t care about the individual accolades and is focused on leading his team to more wins. “As long as we win, I’m happy,” he said. “I just want to win and keep this going.”
MIGHTY MCGRATH
A big reason for the Mustangs’ resurgence is McGrath, a Washington State University-bound senior who
went 5 for 5, including a two-run home run against Newport, in Redmond’s first two playoff wins. Pudwill is not surprised by McGrath’s hot hitting, which seems to find a spark during the playoffs. “He just catches fire in the playoffs,” Pudwill said. “They can’t get him out in this tournament.” Pudwill said the baseball is “looking like a watermelon” for McGrath. McGrath agreed, saying he is seeing the ball much better. McGrath, who wants to get into law enforcement, credits his turnaround at the plate to a late-season talk with his former select baseball coach, Tim Palmer. “He gave me some small pointers and ever since then, it’s been easier to see and hit,” McGrath said. With McGrath, Peter and Cline leading the way, the Mustangs hope to cap a memorable turnaround with a state title. “Let’s see if we can write that storybook ending,” Pudwill said.

DON’T TAKE ARTHRITIS SITTING DOWN! Osteoarthritis is an age-related degenerative joint condition that causes pain and stiffness that many mistakenly accept as a natural part of the aging process. However, this “wear and tear” arthritis is not an inevitable part of aging, and sufferers should not allow its symptoms to render them immobile. Instead, osteoarthritis sufferers should take steps to get off the sofa and get moving. The key to overcoming osteoarthritis is exercise, which helps increase joint range of motion and increase muscle strength. While most arthritis sufferers will find initial efforts at exercise to be painful, they will be rewarded with less pain and more mobility over time. The path to breaking osteoarthritis’ pain/immobility cycle begins with small steps, quite literally. P.S. Damaged joint cartilage is the root of arthritis pain and dysfunction. Exercise may stimulate cartilage growth. At PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING, we understand how critical it is for seniors to remain as active as possible. We plan a variety of enjoyable activity options, and encourage our senior residents to participate. To learn more about what we offer our seniors, reach us today at (425) 869-2273. We will schedule a meeting and tour of our unique senior community at 14431 Redmond Way. We look forward to meeting you!
