Redmond Racing dogs highlight pet fair candidates file to run for office SAMANTHA PAK

spak@redmond-reporter.com

It’s filing week for the upcoming election season and three Redmond area men have thrown their hat into the ring for congressional and legislative offices.

The filing deadline is today for the Aug. 7 primary and November general election.

As of Thursday afternoon, Redmond resident Larry Ishmael, an Independent party supporter, is one of five candidates running for the newly redrawn 1st Congressional District, which includes parts of Redmond. The new 1st District starts in King County and goes north through less populated and traditionally more conservative areas and includes Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties, up to the Canadian border.

According to his website, Ishmael is running to work toward solving the country’s “economic, environmental, energy, and educational problems.” The website also states that his mission is to “use common sense solutions and his extensive experience in both the public and private sectors” to address these issues.

Ishmael has served as a former president of the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and former president of the Issaquah School District. He has also worked as an architect for the Sao Paulo Clean Air Project, the world’s largest, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Superintendent: Personal connections key to success Kimball discusses how LWSD is preparing students for the global workforce at chamber luncheon Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

It used to be that a college education would guarantee a person a job after graduation.

Nowadays, all a college degree can do is help a person land a job interview, according to Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Superin-

tendent Dr. Chip Kimball.

As globalization becomes more and more of a reality, young people in the United States entering the job market will be going head to head with their peers from Dr. Chip Kimball around the world — not just around the country.

On Wednesday afternoon, Kimball spoke at the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce’s monthly member luncheon about how LWSD is working to make sure their students

will be able to compete on an international level.

He touched on the district’s mission to have each student graduate prepared to be a contributing member of the community and greater society as well as their vision of every student future ready — prepared for college, the global workplace and personal success.

Kimball said this goes beyond making sure students succeed academically; they need to develop personal attributes such as respect for others, a good work ethic and the ability to work well with others in order to be successful. [ more KIMBALL page 5 ]

Redmond pet fair ‘a big hit’ for people and animals BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Hundreds of four-legged pets, including a miniature horse, took over the Redmond Senior Center (RSC) — inside and outside — Saturday as part of the city’s fourth annual pet fair — “Whiskers, Wings and Wagging Tails.”

About 800 people — many of them with their pets — attended the popular event, which featured pet adoption opportunities, agility and obedience demonstrations, dog races and more.

“It’s always a big hit,” said Teri Burke, the RSC recreation program coordinator. “This event is about celebrating the connections with our companion animals. We know that it is important to Redmond citizens and their health.”

Redmond resident Iola Stetson brought her miniature horse, Striker, to serve as a greeter for attendees. But the event was not limited to four-legged furry animals. Members of the Northwest Exotic Bird

Even a chicken was at the event, brought by a group of residents who last year prompted the City Council to approve a change in city code to allow chickens on

smaller lots in Redmond.

One of the more popular events at the pet fair was

the flyball dog races by handlers from the Cascade Comets Dog Sports Club.

The relay race features four dogs who jump over a series of hurdles to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog jumps on the spring-loaded pad.

The dog catches the ball and then races back to their handler and then the next dog takes off until all four dogs are done.

The pet fair also had opportunities for people looking to add a new member to the family.

The pet fair featured pet adoption organizations, including Motley Zoo, NOAH, MEOW, Oasis for Animals and King County Animal Control. There were about 6-10 adoptions at the pet fair, according Burke.

In addition, the event showcased several local veterinarians, animal agencies and pet-related businesses, including Bellevue-based animal therapy program Pet Partners, along with pet suppliers Mud Bay and Pet Pros.

on Novelty Hill, to run for state representative, Pos. 1 in the 45th Legislative District, which includes parts of Redmond. Also filing are Kirkland resident Jacob Bond, a Democrat, and Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, the incumbent. Goodman originally planned to run for the 1st Congressional District before changing his mind last month.

In a press release, Hussey said he is running because the current legislature “has failed to act on behalf of the students, small businesses and families of this state and it’s time to make a change.”

Hussey’s priorities are to fund education first, work for meaningful tax and regulatory relief for employers and to put state government on a sustainable budget.

Hussey has worked mostly in the aviation industry. He owns and operates Tailwind Capital, an aircraft leasing and finance company in Redmond.

Jim Thatcher, a Republican who lives on Union Hill, will challenge incumbent Rep. Larry Springer for Pos. 2 in the 45th District. So far, Thatcher is Springer’s only challenger.

In a press release, Thatcher, a principal program manager at Microsoft, said he is running to help bring “a fresh team to our citizen Legislature and greater accountability to state government.”

Thatcher’s priorities include education, job and business development and real spending controls and budget reforms.

In the 48th District, the other legislative district that covers Redmond, Pos. 1 incumbent Ross Hunter, D-Medina, will be challenged by Bellevue resident Bill Hirt, a Republican.

In Pos. 2 in the 48th District, Bellevue resident and Democrat Cyrus Habib filed for the seat. By The Reporter’s deadling, Habib was the only candidate who had filed for that seat.

Incumbent Deb Eddy announced in March she would not seeking re-election.

FILLINGS THAT ARE AS GOOD AS GOLD Aside from being rare, gold has a number of qualities (including purity and malleability) that make it such a highly regarded precious metal. Not only is it the oldest dental filling material, it is also the most reliable and long-lasting. Additionally, gold is less likely to compromise the color of the surrounding tooth than traditional amalgam filling material, and it does not chip or crack. Filling cavities with this high-quality material involves first eliminating any decay, just as with any cavity-filling procedure. Then, small bits of gold are pressed into the prepared area until its surface is level with the surrounding enamel. Gold is comfortable to chew on, will not deteriorate, and is completely biocompatible. Gold is a preferred material for fabricating dental onlays and inlays, many of which last a lifetime.

Now, no matter how many cavities you have had filled, your smile can appear unblemished and brilliant. NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY can help you find out if gold fillings are a good option for you. Cosmetic dentistry can make you feel more confident, allowing you to freely smile whenever you want. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

Don’t let anger get in the way of helping others Registration for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure down 44 percent

T

he Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization did itself a lot of damage nationally with its attempt to pull funding from Planned Parenthood. Locally, the ramifications are being felt as registration for the Race for the Cure event is down by 44 percent.

Those who haven’t signed up as in years’ past may want to make a point, but it’s one that’s hurting women – and men – who benefit from the money Komen raises to fight breast cancer.

About 75 percent of the funds raised by Komen Puget Sound stay here to provide services to underserved and lowincome women in Western Washington. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund global research for the cure. None of the funds raised locally support the national Komen organization’s salaries or expenses.

In particular, the funds help those who are low income, underserved and uninsured. And the numbers show the need.

Last year, Komen Puget Sound funded 13,000 mammograms through the Washington State Department of Health. Those mammograms discovered breast cancer among 209 women.

There’s no question the race has helped local women.

When treated early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent, but later detection drops this to just 23 percent.

Lynda Weatherby, a mom in Sammamish, knows that all too well. It’s now been 11 years that her cancer has been in remission, but the she remembers that scary time.

“Getting breast cancer is hard. It’s scary and there’s no answer to why it happens,” Weatherby said. “One year after I was diagnosed, I told myself I was fine, but still felt raw inside.”

For the past four years she’s been involved in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and this is her second year as a volunteer cochair.

The Race for the Cure will be June 3. There’s still time for people to sign up and help what is not only a worth cause, but also one that can be a matter of life and death.

Go to www.komenpugetsound.org/komen-race-for-thecure where you can sign up to race or walk – or help out in any of a number of capacities. Doing so could – and likely will – save a life.

Protect yourself — and others We have an epidemic in our state. It’s whooping cough and it shouldn’t be happening.

The problem is that too many people aren’t keeping booster shots up to date to prevent the illness.

Whooping cough, it’s also known as pertussis, is a contagious bacterial infection that causes severe coughing. The disease can be life-threatening for young children.

Without vaccinations or booster shots, many more people are put at risk because the disease can spread.

It’s easy for people to forget what vaccinations they need - and when. If that’s you, make an appointment with your physician and discuss the issue.

A shot is a pretty easy alternative to being exposed - or exposing someone else - to a life-threatening disease. Stop stalling and roll up those sleeves.

Villeneuve missed the boat in his support of Obama

sciously want to have. That would be a progressive step towards tyranny.

Karl Hanke, Redmond

Mr. Villeneuve sure missed it on this one (“What has President Obama done for us, anyway?” May 11 edition).

Notice that none of his 10 Obama accomplishment examples pertain to having a detailed plan for cutting spending and having a much better jobs-creation plan - which together, are the top domestic priorities facing us today.

Mr. Villeneuve attempts to give Obama a pass by blaming President Bush for the continued rotten economy today. Yes, Obama was handed a bad economy, but his economic policies have only made the fiscal crisis much worse.

The fiscal year 2012 Obama administration budget was voted down by the Senate 97-0, and their fiscal year 2013 budget was voted down 414-0 in the House.

Why so bad you ask? Well both of their budgets reflected no awareness of the imminent danger we are in, as the spending in both budgets far outweighed the revenues (each by a trillion-plus dollars). I voted for Ross Perot in 1992, who was at the time the most aware of the growing debt path we were on; now, the situation is much worse.

The Heritage Foundation has put together an excellent compilation of data to really show the status of our current federal fiscal situation online: www.heritage.org/federalbudget. The trend in the data shows a path to financial Armageddon and is nothing to be proud of, or gloss over, as it is a product of both political parties having problems with good prioritization over the years.

Thankfully, there is a growing trend across the country to elect politicians who are firm on cutting spending and having a lasting balanced budget mindset that exemplifies good common sense.

If I remember right, I was adding and subtracting numbers out to a trillion and beyond before I had finished elementary school. Part of each person’s early years of learning common sense and right from wrong was to not answer the math question of one plus one with anything other than two and to also know that any teacher would not be selectively allowing an answer other than two from anyone else in the class.

Allow your elementary math skills to lead us all too economic prosperity. If you vote without caring or being aware, then get familiar with life in the country of Greece today, as that is the mess of an environment that you would con-

What will Obama do next?

It’s no surprise that President Obama has finally come out for gay marriage. His opinion on that subject has by his own words been “evolving” for some time. What is a bit of a surprise is that he allowed a bumbling Joe Biden to be the point man on it.

President Obama is a master of the carefully crafted phrase. He doesn’t do or say anything that he doesn’t first weigh about how it might affect his possible re-election.

Now comes other questions. On what other issues is he “evolving?” A nationalized economy?

Totally open borders? Maybe just an extra term or three. What kind of “flexibility” (in his overheard conversation with the Russian premier Medvedev) does he want in a second term? Will he throw away the missile shield? Cede to China all the waters off the Philippine Islands? The list is endless and frankly, the answers concern me.

Americans cannot afford another four years of Barack Hussein Obama.

Denny Andrews, Bellevue

Bridle Trails Ace Hardware steps up for veterans The Bridle Trails Ace Hardware store has really stepped up to support our local military/veterans. A couple of weeks ago when I asked about a military or veterans discount, similar to the ones Home Depot and Lowe’s offer, I was told they didn’t have one. I contacted Ace’s corporate offices and was told Ace Hardware stores are a franchise operation, so I checked online and found an email address for the owner, Sheldon Smith.

After I emailed him about the lack of a military/ veteran discount, he responded he would institute such a discount if I would help him set up our program for a military discount. I just needed to let him know what would be acceptable military/veteran ID for his employees to use for verification.

I sent him some pictures of ID cards and within a week, he told me he had set up a program for a military discount, the same discount as offered by Lowe’s, 10 percent on regular priced product for active, reserve, retired, disabled vets and families.

Although he is leaving, Kimball said he is confident that he is leaving the district in the good hands of Dr. Traci Pierce, who was scheduled to be at the luncheon as well but was out sick. Pierce is currently deputy superintendent of instructional services and will take over the district’s top job on July 1.

One of the ways LWSD is working to instill these qualities is making sure each student is connected to at least one adult in the district so they feel they have a voice in their future and that they have value.

Kimball told the lunch crowd that this was missing during his high school career. He said he felt disconnected from his school and eventually just stopped caring. As a result, Kimball stopped going to school. He missed about 100 days of school during his junior and senior years of high school and scraped by with a 1.1 grade point average.

“I was, for all intents and purposes, a high school dropout,” he admitted.

When asked about how he turned things around, Kimball said it happened after he was accepted into Whitworth University in Spokane on academic probation. He became more engaged in his education as he developed personal connections with his professors at the college.

Kimball said even with the best practices and most up-to-date technology available, none of it will matter unless students are engaged.

“It still comes down to personal relationships,” he said.

Kimball told the room of business owners, many of whom were also parents, that the best way to connect with young people is to “jump into their world.” He said he connects with his two daughters through text messaging and shopping.

Kimball also spoke about his leaving LWSD at the end of next month to become the superintendent at the Singapore American School. He said he accepted the position because as an American educator who is always speaking about preparing students for a more globalized society, he needed to gain an international perspective that can’t be achieved stateside.

“I don’t think we have very effective global competence,” he said about the American education system.

“We don’t really get it.”

He said for generations, American students have become great at memorizing text, but they don’t always get the meaning.

He said they need to create thinkers and learners, not memorizers and “regurgitaters.”

Kimball said this is where technology will come in handy as there is an interactive element to working

N.E. 36th Street bridge earns national award

The City of Redmond’s Northeast 36th Street Bridge has recently been named 2012 National Public Works Project of the Year for all transportation projects costing between $25 million and $75 million dollars by the American Public Works Association (APWA). Aspects cited by the APWA include the use of outstanding construction management and techniques including innovative and creative design and safety features, regard for environmental impacts and concerns, completion of the project on time and within budget and effective communications relations before, during and after construction. Completed in December 2010 at a cost of $30 million dollars, the bridge spans State Route 520, connecting the Overlake neighborhood, including the Microsoft Corp. campus on the south side to major arterials on the north side.

Construction began spring 2009, with major funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

The project was a partnership between the city and Microsoft.

Riley grew up in Renton and now lives in Federal Way, but during those inbetween years, he has spent time in Nashville, Tenn. — a city known for its music scene — recording music

and immersing himself in the industry. He also spent time in Los Angeles.

“Music has been my passion,” he said.

That passion has led him to open for blues legends Sonny Landreth, B.B. King and Taj Mahal. He has also played with Sam Andrew of Big Brother and the Holding Company (the band that once featured the late Janis Joplin) and Merrilee [ more RILEY page 7 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ RILEY from page 6] Rush, who sang “Angel of the Morning” and owns and operates and MerriMac Farm just outside of Redmond.

Riley has five CDs out on the market and is working on a sixth.

And while he has come in contact with music royalty, he acknowledges that most people outside of the blues community probably haven’t heard of him.

“I’m not a household name and I don’t need to be,” Riley said.

He just loves to play.

Riley said one of the things he loves about music is that it is the only art form that can be created, executed and appreciated all in one moment. Riley tries to pass this appreciation on to his students at Pacific Music, where he has been teaching for 14 years, and make them understand where music comes from and that someone has to write, create and perform those songs they download.

[ FESTIVAL from page 6] Organizers expect 15,000 people to attend the Brew Fest this year.

The event began about 15 years ago by the Washington Brewers’ Guild at the Herbfarm in Woodinville.

The Washington Beer Commission took over the event nearly a decade ago and helps produce six festivals statewide.

“It has been at Saint Edward six of the past seven years,” said Radovich. “One year we had it at the Seattle Center.”

Last year the event had 64 breweries take part with 50 from Washington State.

This year the event will have 63 participate with just three from out-of-state.

“I believe we have the third-most breweries of any state in the country,” said Radovich, noting that Washington has 152.

The event will play host to more than 200 beers.

But Radovich said that

“(All of our instructors are) incredible and Mark’s at the top of the list,” he said.

Riley shrugged off the compliment and said with a laugh, “I’m just the oldest.”

Weyand said he can’t imagine a nicer, more talented person than Riley and his dedication to music is reflected not just in his lessons with students, but also when Riley does guitar repairs for the store.

Weyand said Riley will take an hour working on an instrument whereas another repairperson would take only 10 minutes.

Weyand said this is because Riley is a musician and can relate to his fellow guitarists and understands the importance of having his instrument in perfect working condition.

And while repairing instruments and giving music lessons may not seem that glamorous, Riley wouldn’t trade it for anything.

“I get to do what I love,” he said. “That’s what it’s about for me.”

TRUE LOVE

Gary Weyand, owner of Pacific Music, also praised Riley’s teaching skills.

this is not an event for those just looking to get a buzz.

“This is a beer-tasting event,” said Radovich. “We have five-ounce pours for tasting. It is not how much can you drink.”

Brew Fest also features live music, food trucks and a kids’ area, along with a brewer’s keg toss, root beer garden, craft booths, wine and cider tasting.

“We are one of the few events that are kid friendly,” said Radovich.

Kids can enjoy blowup toys and can make a Fa-

ther’s Day card for dad.

The price to get in to Brew Fest has not changed in three years. The event starts on Friday, June 15 from 4-9 p.m. for adults only. Admission for Friday is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Saturday, June 16 the event will run 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. for all ages with tickets $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Departmental shifts aimed to improve customer service Redmond Mayor John Marchione recently announced changes in the city’s Public Works and Planning departments to enhance alignment with the city’s vision and customer service goals.

The city’s long-term vision and customer service standards have both been key priorities for Marchione since being elected mayor in 2008. To that end, Marchione implemented the transfer of transportation planning and development review from the Public Works Department to the Planning Department.

“These changes allow us to more efficiently meet the transportation needs of our community and provide more seamless customer service in our permit and inspections process,” said Marchione. “Traffic and growth remain top priorities among

our citizens. By combining the efforts of our Public Works and Planning transportation staff, we will better align our resources with our city’s long-term land use vision. In addition, citizens will benefit from a true ‘one-stopshop’ when it comes to development review and permitting. This allows for faster response times throughout a project, from initial application to final inspection.”

As part of that effort, Marchione has appointed former Redmond Fire Chief Tim Fuller to serve as interim Public Works director following the retirement of former Director Bill Campbell. Fuller previously acted as interim police chief in Redmond and was instrumental in guiding the department as it transitioned from the administration of former Chief Steve Harris to current Chief Ron Gibson.

BEHIND THE MUSIC

For Redmond resident Tom Miller, those lessons have stuck.

The Overlake Hospital emergency physician has been taking slide guitar lessons from Riley for almost two years and said he has learned more than just how to play. “(Riley) actually knows a lot about music theory,” he said.

Miller said he finds this extra knowledge helpful in understanding what genres have influenced the different techniques he is learning.

Riley said he tries to be a musicologist and find the source when it comes to the methods he teaches and pass on to his students how and why those techniques came to be.

Miller said he enjoys the theory lessons and just talking about music as much as he enjoys learning music.

“I think Mark is a master,” Miller said.

Arts festival, sidewalk sale set for next month Third annual event slated for June 22-24 at the town center

Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

The Redmond Town Center (RTC) is teaming up with the City of Redmond and Venues for Artists in the Local Area (VALA) Eastside for its 3rd annual Arts Festival and Sidewalk Sale from June 22-24.

This is the first year RTC has worked with outside organizations for the event and senior marketing manager Christina Henning said the partnership has been very beneficial for them.

“By partnering with VALA and the city, we’re elevating the level of artists (coming to the festival),” she said.

VALA founder Jessica Lambert, whose nonprofit organization focuses on showcasing local artists’ works in creative venues in Redmond and throughout the Eastside, said through her work, she has been able to expand the reach to artists for the festival.

She added that as head of an arts organization, she

The 3rd annual Arts Festival and Sidewalk Sale at Redmond Town Center will be from June 22-24. There will be artist booths with pieces for sale, artist demonstrations and workshops, a sidewalk sale featuring town center businesses and more. Courtesy photos

had been thinking about holding an arts festival.

However, when she learned about the RTC’s annual festival, she thought uniting her efforts with Henning and her team would create a stronger festival.

The three-day festival will be free and its hours will be Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sun-

day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

It will be around Center Street Plaza on Northeast 74th Street between 164th and 166th avenues northeast.

There will be about 100 artist booths where art lovers can purchase pieces directly from artists. Henning said one of the goals for the festival is to make art accessible to all, which is why it is held at the shopping center rather than a museum or gallery. She added that the pieces for purchase will range in price, so there will be something

for everyone. “(We were) looking for artists that have a range of pieces for sale,” she said about their selection process, adding that they have had artists from the past two festivals apply to return.

Henning said this year’s festival will also feature onstage demonstrations and workshops throughout the weekend, making the event more interactive than in the past. Like the event itself, these will be free, though there may be some fees for materials in some of the workshops.

The festival will also have live music, food vendors and a sidewalk sale featuring the wares of town center retailers.

In addition, the festival will feature original artwork submitted by festival

artists. There will be two categories: a general festival category and a special Centennial category in honor of Redmond’s 100th birthday.

The top 25 submissions — as selected by a jury — will be featured in a special VALA Eastside Centennial Collection Gallery, hosted by the town center throughout the festival. The top three entries — also selected by the jury — in both categories will receive Best of Show prizes and be prominently displayed in the gallery throughout the event. Lambert said there will also be cash prizes.

This year’s jury will include Redmond Arts Commission coordinator Joshua Heim, former Pilchuck Glass School director and Purdue University professor Marge Levy, Microsoft Corp. painter and graphic designer Donna Wallace and Redmond Digital Arts Festival curator and founder Kamal Seigel.

Heim said while the Arts Commission is working to get more art in the city, they are mostly taking a back seat in this arts festival.

Although, they will be kicking off the event by giving out this year’s Volunteer Art Awards at the beginning of the weekend.

Redmond bridge to close for repairs The City of Redmond’s Northeast 90th Street Bridge will be closed up to seven hours a day beginning May 21 through May 31 to replace the structure’s bearing pads.

The closures are expected to be each day between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in both directions, including weekends. The city is contracting with King County’s Bridge Maintenance Division to replace 22 bearing pads that cushion and connect the bridge deck to its support abutments.

This work requires lifting the bridge deck approximately one inch to remove and

replace the pads. Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians will be required to use alternate routes, which will be posted and include Redmond Way, Northeast 85th Street and Northeast 124th Street.

Variable Message Boards (VMS) will also be posted in the corridor to help alert drivers and pedestrians.

The project is part of the normal maintenance cycle and has a budget of approximately $100,000.

Throughout May, individuals and organizations across the country participate in activities to promote the value of physical activity in the pursuit of a happier, healthier and more productive nation.

National Physical Fitness and Sports Month provides us a reminder of the work we have to do as a community to get more people choosing to support a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Sixty percent of adults in Washington are considered to be overweight or obese and nationwide more than 72 million Americans are obese.

For the last 50 years, we have engineered physical activity out of our daily routine. Where we once could walk to the grocery store, or to a friend’s house, we now drive. Nationally, about a third of all short trips of half a mile or less are done by private automobile. Hav-

ing more access, creating inviting surroundings and smart pedestrian design will make it possible for people to select to go by foot. And as you probably have heard, experts agree that walking just 30 minutes a day can build muscle and reduce body weight, reversing trends of obesity.

At Feet First we work to ensure there are walkable communities throughout Washington. We administer Safe Routes to School programs, create Neighborhoods on Foot walking maps, help communities advocate for better walking environments through our Feet First Agenda program and host quarterly Walk and Talk events.

Redmond should be proud of its accomplishments. In 2011, Redmond was only one of three cities to be recognized as a Feet First Agenda City. This designation highlights the city’s commitment to supporting more walkable and vibrant communities and for pedestrian enhancements that improve safety, mobility and access for all. LeadLisa Quinn

Redmond IF YOU Walk and Talk GO WHAT: Walk and Talk event with Mayor John Marchione and artist John Fleming, sponsored by Feet First.

WHEN: Thursday, May 24, 5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Veloce building located at 8102 161st Ave. N.E. WHY: To promote a walkable community and highlight the art that will be part of Redmond’s new Central Connector Trail, which is scheduled to begin construction later this year.

ers in Redmond including Mayor John Marchione and parks Director Craig Larsen realize the importance of walkability in community development.

I hope you will join Mayor Marchione and other community leaders on May 24 to highlight Redmond’s new Central Connector Trail during Feet First’s Redmond Walk and Talk.

The Central Connector Trail incorporates art pieces by local artist John Fleming, who will blend Redmond’s natural environment with recycled railroad materials, traffic signs and technological aspects that reflect on Redmond’s culture and

environment.

The Connector Trail has the power to save lives, improve health and expand economic growth in downtown Redmond while connecting the people who live, play and work in Redmond to the downtown core. The Central Connector Trail will link the Eastlake Sammamish trail through downtown to the Sammamish River Trail, in effect networking more than 60 miles of trails via downtown Redmond. The new trail is more than just a place to walk; the investment provides an opportunity for people to explore a healthier way to get around and support local businesses.

The Walk and Talk event is free, however participants must pre-register online by visiting www.feetfirst.org or calling (206) 652-2310 ext. 5.

We look forward to continuing to work with the City of Redmond to ensure all people have more choices to go Feet First for fun, good health and transportation.

Having a Hard Time

620837

Whether you are just starting out or have been exercising for years, many people will go through phases of decreased motivation in their fitness routine.

One of the biggest reasons for this is because their exercise program has become just that — routine.

Whether you are trying to avoid this, or you are looking for motivation to get you excited about exercising again, here are some suggestions.

• Sign up for an event. It does not have to be long, difficult, or even timed, just something you know you are working towards. It will help motivate you into your workout clothes and out the door.

• Get a friend to sign up with you. Knowing you are accountable to someone to get your workout done will help get you going on those days of low motivation and there will be those days.

Try and coordinate your workouts when possible too. Let’s face it, we are (for the most part) social beings – exercising with a friend is more enjoyable; you will motivate each other and focus less on counting miles or minutes.

• Plug into your iPod, and make sure you have it loaded with all the music that makes you dance around your living room.

• Don’t fall into a routine.

Change it up often. Ever thought about trying a new sport? Rock Climbing or swimming? If you go to a gym, try a new program Kettlebells or TRX maybe?

Have you tried a circuit type program? Variety is extremely important. Even if you have signed up for a running event, it does not mean that

your training has to all be running focused; cross training is very beneficial and it will help you achieve your goals with far less chance of boredom or injury.

• And finally, and most importantly, have fun! Find something you enjoy doing.

Even if it takes a little extra effort to get out the door

Lake Sammamish stuffs Lakeside, takes on Bainbridge in state finals REPORTER STAFF

The Lake Sammamish girls’ lacrosse team, which has players from Redmond, knocked off state powerhouse Lakeside, 14–8, in a state semifinal showdown Tuesday at the Lakeside School in Seattle.

With the win, Lake Sammamish advances to Saturday’s championship game against Bainbridge, which is making its ninth straight trip to the state title game. The title bout will be at 2 p.m. at Eastside Catholic School.

Lake Sammamish, making its second appearance in the title game, ended Lakeside’s seven-year string of championship-game appearances.

Lake Sammamish got scoring from eight different players with Katelyn Chirichigno leading the way with three goals. Alexandra

Johnson, Erin Saunderson, Ali Savage and Emily Sokol each scored two goals.

Lakeside was led by Rebecca Long and Natalie Fox with three goals each.

Lake Sammamish, which won the Snoqualmie Conference with a 10-2-0 regular-season record, is now 13-2-0 after beating Evergreen, Snohomish and Lakeside in the state playoffs.

Overlake boys advance to state quarterfinals

The Overlake School boys’ lacrosse team advanced to the Division II state quarterfinals with a 12–11 opening round playoff win over Ballard last Saturday at The Overlake School in Redmond.

Overlake moves on to play

Garfield at 5 p.m. Friday at The Overlake School.

The win was the first postseason victory for Overlake since capturing the Division II state title in 2009.

Overlake (12-1-0) was led by sophomore attackman Colton Umberger with five goals, two assists and six ground balls and junior midfielder Eric Risa with two goals, three assists and 16 ground balls.

Ballard led 7-3 at halftime, but Overlake outscored Ballard, 7-2 in the third quarter to take a 10-9 heading into the fourth. Ballard reclaimed the lead, 11-10, late in the game before Overlake scored two goals and held the ball for the last two minutes of the game to pull out the win.

The surging Redmond High School baseball team will bring a wealth of state-tournament experience to Kent Memorial Park when it takes on Kentridge in a Class 4A state playoff opener Saturday.

Seniors Peter Hendron, who will play at Santa Clara University next year, and Patrick McGrath, who is headed to Washington State University, will be playing in their third straight state tournament when the Mustangs (15-8) face the Chargers (14-8) at 1 p.m.

“Peter and Patrick understand the environment — the energy and the emotion,” said Redmond coach Dan Pudwill. “They will be able to help the team play with high energy, but controlled baseball. Nerves won’t be a problem with those two and that calm demeanor will help others.”

In addition, seniors Cody Beliel, Adam Cline, Conner Bozman and Thomas Crosley were contributors last season when the Mustangs placed fourth at state.

Pudwill is hoping Redmond’s experience will offset Kentridge’s home-field advantage.

“We will be playing in Kentridge’s backyard,” Pudwill said. “They have familiarity with the field — both will provide a challenge for us.”

If the Mustangs knock off Kentridge, the Mustangs play again at 4 p.m. against the winner of the Kentwood-Edmonds-Woodway game at Kent Memorial Park with a state semifinal berth at stake. The state semifinals will be Saturday, May 25 at Gesa Stadium in Pasco.

Both Redmond and Kentridge enter the state tournament on a winning streak. The Mustangs won [ more BASEBALL page 15 ]

Overlake rolls to easy win in state opener

Larson resigns as basketball coach to take associate principal job

The Overlake School boys’ soccer team started its Class 4A state run with a bang Wednesday night.

Jesse Klug scored three first-half goals as the Owls thrashed Seaton Catholic of Vancouver, Wash., 9-0, in their state opener at Sammamish High School in Bellevue.

Gavin Mackinlay and Jarret Taylor each scored twice in the blowout win for the Owls, who improved to 16-0-1.

Overlake takes on TriDistrict rival Vashon Island in a state-quarterfinal matchup at noon Saturday at Redmond High School.

The Owls beat Vashon, 3-1, in a Tri-District playoff game last week.

There will be a new associate principal at Redmond High School (RHS) next year — and a new boys’ basketball head coach.

Jeff Larson, a math teacher and head coach at RHS for the last eight years, resigned from his head coaching duties to focus on his new job as associate principal, which begins in the fall.

“I always said it would take a good reason to step down and this is a good reason,” Larson said of his new associate principal job. “I’m excited about helping the school in a larger capacity.”

“They have gotten hot at the right time,” Pudwill said of the Chargers, the No. 5 seed from District 3/4.

But the Mustangs are also on a hot streak. After an 0-7 start to the season, the Mustangs have won 15 of their last 16 games and enter the state tournament as the District 1/2 top seed.

Hendron and McGrath have been major contributors to the Mustangs’ surge.

Hendron, a pitcher and first baseman, is second on the team in wins with four and is second on the team in batting average at .365.

McGrath, a shortstop, leads the team in batting average

at .385 and has been on a torrid hitting streak of late.

He went 7 for 7 in the three Kingco 4A tournament game last week and has a six-game hitting streak, including four straight multiple-hit games.

Pudwill declined to say who would start for Redmond on the mound against Kentridge. The top two choices to make the start on the mound are
