Expect delays in both directions of traffic BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Major road work on Redmond Way will begin next week and drivers should expect delays in both directions of traffic for the next several weeks. The $2.2 million Redmond Way overlay project will repair and resurface about 1.8 miles of worn and damaged pavement running east of 132nd Avenue Northeast to Bear Creek Parkway. This is the first significant maintenance project for this key commuter corridor since 1994. The overlay project, funded mostly by federal money, is expected to be done by October, said City of Redmond project manager Joe O’Leary, who preached patience and safety to drivers. “This is going to be a tough deal,” he said of the traffic impacts. “It will be beautiful when it’s done and it will make a big difference. But I feel the pain coming.”

Traffic speeds will be reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph during construction hours and the Redmond Police Department will have extra traffic patrols in the area to help promote safety in the construction zone, O’Leary said. “It’s important to slow down,” O’Leary said. The project will begin with spot construction work at multiple sites along Redmond Way. The spot work will include improvements to sub-surface drainage systems, relocation of underground utilities and curb improvements, O’Leary said. Construction will be limited to weekday, non-peak traffic hours, beginning after 9:30 a.m. in the eastbound direction and ending by 3 p.m. in the westbound direction, according to O’Leary. He said the spot construction is expected to be done by the end of July and then crews will begin [ more ROAD WORK page 3 ]

hey may have different backgrounds, but high school seniors Aaron DiGenova, Sophia Xu and Jihoon Lee have all made the most of their education. The three have taken what they have learned in and out of school to prepare for what is to come as they all look toward college outside of Redmond — and Washington. DiGenova will graduate from The Bear Creek School on Saturday and Xu and Lee will graduate from Redmond High School (RHS) on June 19.

DiGENOVA: CLOSE TIES

Relationships are very important to DiGenova — whether it’s his family, classmates and friends or teachers. He said the bonds he shares with others are what matter most. And this becomes apparent as he walks through the halls of The Bear Creek School in Redmond: The 18-year-old is greeted with nods, waves and hugs from fellow students who haven’t seen him while the seniors were off to work on their senior projects. And everyone wants to know how he is and what he’s been doing. “I’ve been here for a very long time,” he said. “I know just about everyone.”

DiGenova has attended Bear Creek since kindergarten and said one of the reasons everyone is so familiar with each other may be because the K-12 school is so small — this year’s enrollment was 762, with 220 in grades 9-12, according to the school’s website. This extends to the teachers as well. DiGenova, who grew up in Sammamish but now lives in Duvall, has nothing but praise for the Bear Creek faculty, saying they really connect with their students. He admitted that one of his favorite subjects is history because the teachers are more engaging than the subject itself. [ more GRADUATES page 5 ]

Fifth-grade girl grabbed by man outside Redmond Elementary SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Police are on the lookout for a man who grabbed an 11-year-old as she was heading to school in downtown Redmond Wednesday morning.

According to Redmond Police Department (RPD) spokesperson Jim Bove, the girl was dropped off on the east side of 166th Avenue Northeast by Redmond Elementary School before most other students arrived for school. At around 7:45 a.m., the fifth-grade girl was approached by the man, who grabbed her wrist and asked if she wanted to go with him. She said “no” but

the man continued to pull her in his direction. The student said no again and screamed. That’s when the man let go and ran south toward the corner of 166th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 80th Street. Kathryn Reith, communications director for the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), said the student was a little shaken up from the incident — as

expected — but is physically fine. “She’s okay,” Reith said. She said the district has followed the RPD’s advice and Redmond Elementary did not gone into lockdown mode Wednesday as police officials did not believe the school is in danger. Reith added that police and school officials do not think the suspect will return to the school, especially now

Police say he was wearing a black hat of some sort, dark gray hooded sweatshirt, dirty dark blue jeans and carried a green leather satchel on the day of the incident. “It’s a reminder for everyone to be on the lookout for suspicious activity,” Bove said.

Reith said they sent a letter home to parents about the incident and advising parents to review with their students what to do in a “stranger danger” situation. “Fortunately, this student did exactly what she was taught to do in stranger danger,” Reith said about the girl who was grabbed Wednesday morning. Reith said Redmond Elementary’s start time is 9 a.m., so the area was pretty empty when the student was grabbed. The school does have some programs

The end is the start of a new beginning

part of me has always known that you can never succeed staying in one place for too long. From the two elementary schools I have been to, two junior highs I have attended and one high school in my life, a mover like me has known that the end is always a start of a new beginning. Yes, it is sad to move on, leave behind what you have known all your life but what lies ahead of you may be your key to success. I look back and remember sophomore year when I took my first steps into Redmond High, turned and tested my locker combination for the first time and learned what it took to share the hallway with 1,500 other high school students. Now three years later, I remember as I returned in fall 2011, I again walked those familiar hallways, opened and closed that same locker for the third year, yet something was just plain different. I knew the surroundings were the same but something in the atmosphere constantly reminded me that the end is near. As all the other seniors counted down the days to graduation, a part of me just wished time would freeze or slow down. There were so many things I still wanted to do, to accomplish and experience before it would be too late. I knew no matter how much I wished to stay, Alice Liu

So you seniors out there, I know you are all anxious about leaving. I know how excited you all are to be independent and how eager you all are to start a new beginning at whatever place you have decided to go next year. You still have a few more weeks to make your high school experience last and create memories that will last a lifetime. Before you leave remember those you love and thank those who have been with you for all these years. Don’t underestimate the world out there, learn to fight, learn to grow and most importantly don’t forget what you are passionate about. Explore the world and write your own future and your new beginning. Good luck Class of 2012! Alice Liu will graduate from Redmond High School later this month.

Two-thirds for tax increases needed more than ever

or 20 years, the voters have approved initiatives making it tougher to raise taxes. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent voter, most everyone agrees it’s better to motivate politicians to prioritize spending and reform government rather than increase taxes. Olympia has proven time and again that if it’s easy to raise taxes, they will. And they’ve consistently illustrated that without these tougherto-raise-taxes policies, they’ll impose higher taxes on regular taxpayers who are ill-equipped to fight back. Olympia politicians may talk a lot about “closing corporate loopholes” and “forcing the rich to pay their fair share” but whenever taxes are increased, powerful lobbyists protect their clients and you and I get stuck with higher sales taxes, property taxes, candy taxes, gas taxes, cigarette taxes and utility taxes. The two-thirds vote requirement for the Legislature to raise taxes has been approved by voters four times (we’re working hard to give voters a fifth opportunity with this year’s Initiative 1185). During legislative sessions it’s been in effect, it’s done exactly what the voters wanted, making tax increases a last resort and forcing elected officials to work together to prioritize spending and reform

government. But during sessions that the legislature has suspended the two-thirds requirement, it’s only been a debate about which taxes to increase, how to much to increase them, and which poor and working class taxpayers get targeted. Twenty years of experience has removed all doubt that politicians cannot be trusted to make tax increases a last resort without the two-thirds vote requirement. Democrat politicians and their bigmonied special-interest groups have consistently tried to convince voters to reject this policy at the ballot box. They’ve failed every time. But rather than accept the clear and consistent decision of the people, they’ve embarked on a repeated effort to sue the voters. On three separate occasions, the state Supreme Court has exercised judicial restraint and allowed both sides to exercise their powers: the Legislature’s power to ignore the law and the people’s power to pass it. It is a political tug-of-war over an important public policy and the courts have recognized that both sides are fully capable of defending their position without judicial intervention. Ever since the supreme court ruled that the Legislature does not have to abide by voter-approved initiatives (Farm Bureau, 2006), Tim Eyman

“Are you glad grocery stores are now carrying liquor?”

MY TURN

Question of the week:

graduation day will come and this part of me, this part of my life will have to end. I am not worried how my high school life will soon end but I am afraid to leave. I was afraid to let go. Before I was bothered with the thought of leaving behind what I love. Now I am no longer worrying about having to leave behind the laughter, dramas and memories, but terrified to face the future. You might think after moving and attending so many different schools throughout my life, starting a new life in college should be easy. You must think this person, so experienced at being surrounded by new faces, used to having to fit in should have the least to worry about. No, you are wrong, it just gets harder.

Olympia has been given free reign. As the attorney general’s brief explains: “The two-thirds supermajority vote provision may make it politically difficult to raise taxes, but freedom from political difficulty is not a right or legally protected interest of Plaintiff legislators.” Read their brief in its entirety here: http://www.washingtonpolicy.org/ sites/ default/files/state1053.PDF Last week, a Seattle judge ruled differently than the state Supreme Court has previously. Fortunately, the ruling will be “stayed” pending appeal, meaning the two-thirds will remain in effect until the High Court rules. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic that the Supreme Court will reject the Seattle judge’s reasoning: • In 1994, the court found that individual legislators and special interest groups lack standing to bring lawsuits like this. • Lawsuits like this aren’t valid if the Legislature doesn’t exhaust all their remedies before going to court. They could have appealed the ruling of the chair and passed the tax increase; they didn’t. • This Seattle judge didn’t just say that initiatives can’t set a higher tax vote threshold; the ruling said the Legislature couldn’t impose it upon themselves. Article II, section 9 of the constitution reads: “Each house may determine the rules of its own proceedings.” This broad ruling

flies in the face of the doctrine of separation of powers. • A law is constitutional unless the constitution expressly prohibits it. Our constitution does not. Just two years ago, a unanimous court rejected a similar lawsuit under similar circumstances (one chamber passed a tax increase and a lawsuit was filed challenging the two-thirds). That 9-0 opinion, authored by Justice Mary Fairhurst, the most liberal justice on the state supreme court, resulted in a “finding this a political question” that should be resolved through the legislative process. Article I, section 1 of our state constitution reads: “All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Article I, section 2 reads: “The first power reserved by the people is the initiative.” It is simply inconceivable that the founders of our state and authors of our constitution – people who were deeply committed to limiting the power of government – intended to prohibit the Legislature and the people from making it tougher to raise taxes. Our constitution exists to protect the people from the government, not to protect the government from the people. Tim Eyman is the co-sponsor of this year’s “Son of 1053” Initiative 1185.

SINGLE-VISIT CERAMIC RESTORATIONS

Patients desiring the latest in tooth-restoration technology need look no further than CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), which utilizes a camera, computer, and milling machine to fabricate a precise tooth-colored, singletooth restoration. CEREC enables the dentist to create everything from veneers to full crowns in a single office visit, without impressions, temporaries, or second office visits. All this is accomplished by using a special camera to take a picture of the damaged tooth, the image of which is displayed on a screen. Next, the dentist uses CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology to design a restoration, which is then milled from ceramic material using CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology. Within one hour, the patient can enjoy beautifully restored teeth. P.S. The ceramic material used to produce a CEREC restoration is tooth-colored to its core, which creates an attractive, natural-looking replacement tooth. Could your smile benefit from tooth restoration? Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we are passionate about preventive dentistry and recommend regular dental check-ups for all family members. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

DiGenova is graduating with a 3.97 grade point average. He spent his senior year as president of the National Honor Society at Bear Creek. As president, he helped organize the annual schoolwide canned food drive. This year, the school brought in more than 8,000 pounds of food for Redmond-based Hopelink, a human services organization. DiGenova is also a threesport athlete. He participated in football at Eastlake High School in grades 10-12, Bear Creek basketball as a junior and the Bear Creek-Overlake School baseball team, the Growls, in grades 9-12. When he thinks about his time on the teams, DiGenova doesn’t recall the games they won or any great plays he made. Instead, he talks about the roles his teammates have had off the field and off the court. “They’re some of my best friends now,” he said. DiGenova will be saying goodbye to these friends as he heads off to the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. He won’t be a student athlete, but said he may look into Notre Dame’s intramural sports programs. He plans to study business in college. DiGenova looked at a number of schools, including the University of Washington, but decided on Notre Dame because he wanted a bigger environment for his college experience — even if it means

[ GRADUATES from page 5] LEE: A VARIED EDUCATION

Lee split his childhood between South Korea and New Jersey before his family settled in Redmond when he was a sophomore in high school. His early schooling days were a mix of a heavy course load while attending a Korean public school six days a week and a scienceoriented education in the Garden State. While these two educational styles were very different, Lee said he was able to adjust easily. In addition, the 17-year-old’s experiences set the tone for his high school career. He said the different schools he has attended have taught him the importance of hard work and pushed him academically. As a

senior, he has been enrolled team and Math Club. in various Advanced PlaceAlthough he said he ment (AP) classes including would have been interested psychology, physics, art in science regardless, Lee history, government and litadmitted he probably would erature.

He is also a gramming competition. member of the school’s robotics Next year, he will attend Caltech

and plans to study biochemistry. Lee said he was also considering the University of Chicago and University of California-Berkeley. He decided on Caltech because he liked the rigor the school’s science program provided. “It has a clear focus on that category,” he said. Lee said he has spent time away from his family before while attending summer camps for weeks at a time, so he is not too anxious about the move to California — especially since he can still easily communicate with his family and friends. He is looking forward to the freedom of living on his own, but said he will miss his family and friends. “It’s good to have the comfort that my parents and family give me,” he said.

Mark and Katie Stern have never been afraid to take risks, back down from a challenge or try something different. When their family owned movie theaters in Chicago and struggled to compete against big chains such as AMC Loews and Regal theaters, they moved to the Pacific Northwest for a fresh start. The Midwest couple knew they had to change things up and offer people something new to go with their moviegoing experience. So 13 years ago, they opened Big Picture Seattle, followed by Big Picture Redmond at 7411 166th

in Redmond to the point that the town center now houses two 21-and-older movie theaters. The second theater is iPic Theaters, which opened about a year ago and had previously been Gold Class Cinemas. With the two theaters splitting customers, the Sterns are once again adjusting their business plans to differentiate themselves from the competition. “Now we’re going to evolve again,” Mark said. “We have to become more resourceful.” And from that resourcefulness has come foreign and foreignlanguage films, independent films and live musical and comedy performances. Mark said Big Picture — in Redmond only — will no longer screen the usual Hollywood blockbusters typically shown at movie theaters in favor of more “sophisticated” films and live

Big Picture will continue to offer full-venue rentals [ Big Picture from page 7] Mark said this will not change. From birthday parties to business conferences to weddings, Big Picture has hosted a variety of events. “You tell me a movie theater where people get

married,” Mark said. He said they have had to work three times harder to attract business as a movie theater isn’t the first venue that comes up when planning an event. One way they have done this is made their lobby look and feel like a hotel lobby, so people

wouldn’t realize they’d just entered a movie theater. Mark’s wife Katie has been the brains behind this as she designed the theater’s interior. She said she hasn’t had formal decorating training but has learned things along the way through both the Seattle and Redmond locations. “The decor is really an integral part of someone’s experience,” she said. Katie describes her taste as eclectic and she works to include pieces that mean something to them

personally. She said she approaches it as she would in decorating her home. “It’s just a place I’d like to spend time in,” she said. The jumping point for Big Picture Redmond was 1940s and 19050s Hollywood glam and Katie said the retro theme helped dictate her decorating choices. And while the decor and pieces have mostly stayed the same Katie admits that they aren’t always in the same place. “I love rearranging furniture,” she said with a laugh.

City’s budgeting process involves staff, council and citizen input With an Oct. 9 deadline, City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione and staff are already working to prepare a preliminary city budget to present to City Council. In the middle of it all is Malisa Files. As deputy finance director for the city, the 18-year Redmond resident is very involved in the city’s budgeting process and this year is no different. Last Friday, Files spoke at the Redmond Senior Center’s (RSC) First Friday Coffee Chat to give attendants some insight into the city’s Budgeting by Priorities (BP) process. This is the third time Redmond has used BP to prepare its biennial budget, which covers two years. “We only prepare a budget every other year,” Files told the chat audience. The current budget staff is preparing the city’s finances for 2013-14. Files said since they are still in the middle of preparing it, she can’t tell how much the upcoming two-year budget will be.

“(BP) is one of the best budget systems I’ve ever seen. This process has a lot of things going for it,” said Files, who has worked for the City of Redmond since 1994. Before coming to Redmond, Files worked in finance and budgeting in

her home state of California for the cities of Pasadena and Upland. Unlike incremental budgeting, she said BP is a very involved process that also includes a lot of citizen input. [ more budget page 10 ]

STAY SHARP AS A TACK!

If you want to stay sharp, there are a number of simple things you can do to improve your brain power. The first involves getting out and exercising. Even a daily walk helps stimulate the growth of new brain cells and prevent gray-matter shrinkage that can lead to memory loss. Next, it helps to be socially active because social interaction improves cognitive ability. Playing card/board games and engaging in different hobbies (gardening, dancing, reading, etc.) also keep the mind sharp. It doesn’t hurt to eat fish, fruit, and vegetables, all of which have been shown to preserve mental agility. And, of course, be sure to get rest, control your blood pressure, reduce stress, limit alcohol consumption, and stop smoking. P.S. Stress prompts the release of a hormone called “cortisol,” which works to reduce cognitive function. At PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING, our knowledgeable and dedicated staff understands the combination of factors that help our senior residents to achieve their “personal best”. We strive to provide them with a wide range of activity options and nutritious, delicious meals and snacks. To learn more, reach us at (425) 869-2273. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting and tour of our unique senior community at 14431 Redmond Way. Learn how we earned our superior reputation.

needed to address these issues. In addition, the city has six results teams — one per priority — made up of citizens and city staff. These teams work to prioritize and rank city budget offers based on how they would contribute to their respective priorities as well as how well they align with the city’s vision. Files said each team has four people, one or two of which are citizens. She added that they try to mix things up so city staff are on teams that are not connected to their departments. For example, they would not have someone from the fire or police depart-

ment on the Safety team or someone from public works on the Infrastructure and Growth team. However with how involved BP is, Files said they also have to take into consideration who is available. “It is very time intensive, no doubt about it,” she said. Another part of BP is looking at performance metrics to measure how well the city is providing and delivering for its citizens. Files said they measure performance in the six priorities in different ways including community surveys, business longevity and diversity, emergency response times and maintenance report cards.

BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

As coach of the Redmond High School baseball team, Dan Pudwill plays many roles. Teacher, counselor, motivational speaker, comic, role model and friend — the list is almost as long as a lineup card. Pudwill’s coaching performance — and patience — were put to the test this as his Mustangs, who entered the season with high hopes, lost their first seven games out of the gate. But the 37-year-old never gave up, continued to motivate and his team delivered as Redmond won 16 of its final 18 games and finished one win away from the Class 4A state semifinals. Along the way, the Mustangs won the Kingco 4A tournament title and advanced to the state tournament for the third straight year and the fifth time in the last six seasons. Even after the slow start, Pudwill had confidence his team would turn things around and the Mustangs did before falling to eventual state champion Kentwood in the state quarterfinals. “I told them it was important to stay the course and not waver and believe in what we are doing,” Pudwill said as he reminisced about the recent season inside the Hartman Park home dugout. “The talent was there. … At the end of the day, if you put us against most of the Kingco teams, we’re very well the most tal-

Redmond High School baseball coach Dan Pudwill guided the Mustangs to a 16-9 record and third straight state-tournament appearance after his team started the season 0-7. Bill Christianson, Redmond Reporter ented team. We just didn’t have the results early on. The kids needed to be reminded that they were talented and things would be fine.” Pudwill is the Redmond Reporter’s 2011-12 Coach of the Year for guiding the Mustangs’ remarkable turnaround. After tinkering with lineup and the team’s late-inning pitching for much of the early season, Pudwill found the right winning formula when it mattered most. The biggest issue for the Mustangs early in the season was the lack of hitting so Pudwill put an emphasis on offense in practice and it translated to wins. Pudwill got creative in practice with a two-strike scrimmage, where each hitter began their at bat with a 2-2 count and if they struck out looking, they couldn’t hit for the rest of the scrimmage.

If they struck out swinging twice, they also had to take a seat. He also worked individually with particular players who needed to tweak their approach at the plate. And it worked as the Mustangs started being more aggressive, which translated to more runs — and more victories. “Just like that, it started working,” said senior Patrick McGrath of the team’s hitting turnaround. “No one really messed up on that drill. … It definitely worked and we saw results. We definitely focused on offense in practice.” With the defense and pitching already clicking, the offensive surge helped the Mustangs rattle off a school-record 12 straight wins, highlighted by a huge comeback against Skyline and perfect pitching performance by senior Peter Hendron versus Eastlake. The win streak led to

a playoff berth and then Redmond won three straight games in the Kingco tournament, including a 7-0 win in the league-tournament title game against Issaquah. The Mustangs had lost twice to the Eagles during the regular season, but Pudwill and his players made the right adjustments in the game that mattered most. McGrath, who went 7 for 7 in the Mustangs’ three victories in the Kingco tournament, said Pudwill, an English teacher and father of three, has a very calm coaching style and is a great teacher and motivator. “There’s nothing that fools him,” McGrath said. “He knows all the small things about the game of baseball. He knows how to play the game and play it right.” Pudwill also keeps a light-hearted attitude in the dugout and is always there when his players need to talk about something beyond the baseball diamond, McGrath said. “I’ve had personal issues in the past where I need to talk to someone and he’s the first guy I got to,” McGrath said. Pudwill, who is also funny and witty according to players, said this year’s team was a “neat group,” and when he wrote a letter in the team’s season-ending memory book, he highlighted the lessons learned. “One of them was never underestimate the concept of a true team,” Pudwill said, recalling what he wrote to his team. “That’s one of the thing that they taught themselves and taught me. And the other one was never give up. We certainly had that lesson.”

Former Mustang named new RHS boys’ basketball coach BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Brian Lund finally got his wish Tuesday after he was handed the keys to the Redmond High School (RHS) gym. Lund, a 1991 RHS graduate and former Mustang basketball star, was named the school’s new head boys’ basketball coach. “I’ve always wanted access to the gym,” said Lund, a Redmond lifer who was the head basketball coach at Lake Washington High School (LWHS) last winter.

sistant coach at LWHS, but when head coach Barry Johnson, Lund’s former RHS teammate, was placed on administrative leave in December, Lund took over head-coaching duties for the rest of the season. Johnson, who is also a 1991 RHS graduate, faces charges for communicating with a minor for immoral purposes while at the high school. Johnson pleaded not guilty to the gross misdemeanor and the court proceedings are set for Aug. 6. Lund led the Kangaroos to 22-7 record and a fourthplace finish in the Class 3A

state tournament. Lund said he wasn’t looking to leave LWHS, but when the RHS job became open, he jumped at the opportunity to coach for his alma mater. “We went through a lot last year (at LWHS),” Lund said. “We built strong relationships with the kids. It’s always hard to leave.” But as Lund puts it, “if I’m going to pursue coaching to the point of being a lifer, Redmond is where I want to be.”
