PSE considering three different routes for new transmission line Planned Redmond-Kirkland line will increase electrical capacity Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

In an effort to better serve its Eastside customers, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is planning to construct a four-mile 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Redmond to Kirkland.

The new line will be part of a larger electric system — known as the Moorlands electric system — that also serves Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville. There are currently three transmission lines serving the 12 substations in this system. The new line will run from PSE’s Sammamish substation at 9221 Willows Rd. N.E. in Redmond to its Juanita substation at 10910 N.E. 132nd St. in Kirkland.

PSE transmission planner Carol Jaeger said the new line, which PSE plans to extend from the Juanita substation to the Moorlands substation at 8010 N.E. 185th St. in Kenmore in the future, will improve the utility’s reliability in the area.

If one transmission line in the system is down or if PSE has to cut its power, that power is switched to the two remaining lines, which are able to handle the load capacity. However if two lines are down, Jaeger explained that the power of “12 substations on one line is too much.”

Gretchen Aliabadi, a spokesperson for PSE, added that the new line will help serve the area’s growing population as well as the increased use of electronic devices in general, adding that if the power goes out, many people nowadays can’t work.

“We don’t use power like we did 30 years ago,” she said.

In addition, Jaeger said once the fourth line from the Sammamish substation to the Moorlands substation is complete, two substations will switch to a different electric system, lightening the load. [ more PSE page 6 ]

Redmond High School math teacher Sandy Hargraves answers students’ questions during a review session for an upcoming precalculus final exam.

FUN WITH NUMBERS Humorous math teacher to retire after long tenure with RHS Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Just after 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, students file into classroom C216 at Redmond High School (RHS).

It’s the last period of the day but if the teens are eager to hear that final bell, they hide it well as they are all smiles and cracking jokes. From the students’ cheerful dispositions and relaxed attitudes it would be difficult to guess that they’d just entered a math class — let alone a precalculus class only a few days before their final exam.

“It’s a highlight of my day,” junior Michael Pavlov admits about the class.

The 17-year-old said he has just as much fun in the math class as he does

in his drama class and credits this to his teacher Sandy Hargraves.

“He is a singularly unique person,” Pavlov said.

Hargraves has been at RHS for 30 of his 40 years in teaching and when the last day of school comes on Monday, he will say goodbye to his school, colleagues and students for longer than just the summer as he is retiring.

That last day is still to come, so the 61-year-old math teacher said he is excited and happy as can be about his upcoming retirement since he hasn’t had to bid his final farewells yet. However, Hargraves knows he will miss helping his students and seeing those “lightbulb moments” when something clicks for them.

“I have loved working here,” he said.

Hargraves started his teaching career in Colorado in the fall of 1972. He spent one year there before joining the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) staff at Kirkland Junior High School (KJHS) for a few years. He then spent two years teaching overseas in Australia before returning to KJHS. Hargraves started at RHS in the fall of 1982 and has taught all levels of math.

“I’ve taught everything except calculus,” he said.

oaters, endangered salmon and out-flowing water from Lake Sammamish share “The Slough” to the Sammamish River at Marymoor Park.

Over the last decade, this 1960s Corps of Engineers flood control project has been altered.

Though King County agreed to “operate” the project, infrequent maintenance, an illegal rock dam and sediment build-up now block flow.

The Corps of Engineers designed the outlet channel at Marymoor to handle a “once-in-a-decade” storm. Key to passing this flow downstream was a channel clear of obstructions. When constructed, King County agreed to maintain it to this standard each year. But fast growing willows were planted in the channel and maintenance was reduced to once every four years. Unfortunately, the willows created superb habitat for bass. (Bass love to eat young salmon.) And cuttings from periodic vegetation maintenance were left behind resulting in sediment build-up.

The Corps of Engineers recognized impending problems in 2008 and notified the county that the Sammamish flood control project was being decertified, making it ineligible for federal support. Even earlier than 2008, public records show the corps advised the county it should

inform lake residents their properties and improvements would be impacted.

Unfortunately, their prediction came true, as many who’ve lost docks, bulkheads, and landscaping would attest — losses that easily have reached millions of dollars.

At resident urging last year, the county returned to annual vegetation trimming. However, some county officials are advocating delaying removal of the sediment and debris, offering instead a long-term, costly solution that would rebuild this section of the river.

Common sense calls for clearing today’s debris and blockage problems. Then we should

take a comprehensive look at cost-effective solutions that balance water flow, water quality and the needs of salmon and recreational users.

Lakeside jurisdictions, lake residents and the Corps of Engineers must be involved. Otherwise this federally funded project is a nonnavigable, impeded floodway that has negatively impacted salmon and threatens greater and greater damages each year.

Big-dollar debate: Charity vs. business

E

d Conard, friend and partner of Mitt Romney in Bain Capital, has written a book in which he lays out in detail the rationale and justification for getting filthy rich.

In fact, in Conard’s world, there simply is no excuse for doing anything else with one’s life, and there is no reason to employ one’s time and gains in doing anything but making ever more money.

I’m oversimplifying, of course, but not greatly. In fairness, the basic justification for his position is that by creating wealth, the rich create jobs, products and opportunities that benefit everyone.

There may be some truth to this, although it is difficult to see its application to overpaid sports stars and entertainers. It is also hard to ascribe these positive attributes to richly compensated corporate executives who reward their shareholders by driving their companies into the ground.

(Does Washington Mutual strike a note here?)

One aspect of Conard’s writings that is a little hard to understand is his castigation of those fellow gazillionaires who insist on devoting some of their resources to charitable foundations. This is particularly relevant in the light of a (slowly)

growing movement set in motion by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to enlist their fellow billionaires in the service of charity.

Some 35 or so of this cohort met recently in Santa Barbara to listen to experts describe how they could benefit the world by spreading largesse.

Conard would argue that diverting perfectly good capital to Good Works is a waste of money.

Those funds should instead be used, he says, to create new businesses because that is where the ultimate good will come from.

You would think that challenging charitable purposes would be a tough call, but not for Conard, who puts everything in terms of dollars and cents.

Actually, there is a negative argument that can be made about the imminent proliferation of charitable foundations. There will be a lot of money thrown at a lot of problems. The issue is, who gets to choose the problems, the approaches to solutions, the magnitude of effort involved and the definition of success?

It seems obvious that the person providing the funds has the inside track to making those calls. In an ideal world, this person will behave responsibly by creating a competent Richard Hill

organization to manage the work by consulting recognized experts and by encouraging transparency so independent groups can exercise informal oversight.

Not everyone is going to behave this way, though. And individual biases on the part of donors will inevitably influence the choices that their foundations make. Some of these choices will be foolish and/or wildly idiosyncratic.

The people involved of course have a right to make these choices, but it is grating at times to see millions poured into museums, for example, when far more basic needs go unmet.

If we can’t educate our young people adequately, who is going to be around to appreciate what is in those museums?

What is fascinating about this subject is that we are witnessing the development of a whole new world of privately directed activity that is supported by globally significant funding.

Choices will be made within their walls that will have profound – and perhaps unintended – consequences for the future of the world.

Political phone poll viciously racist On Tuesday, June 19, I received a political “poll” call from Mountain West Research.

It began as a regular poll, then began asking questions which started out as merely insulting to candidate Cyrus Habib, then became viciously racist. The questioner flatly stated that because Mr. Habib is Iranian American, his candidacy is being funded by Middle East interests and then said that he would put these interests before the well-being of the people of Washington state.

When I expressed my disgust at the question and pushed for proof of the charges, as well as information on who was funding the “poll,” the questioner refused to tell me anything.

Upon Googling Mountain West Research, I learned that the company has previously been fined tens of thousands of dollars for performing push-polls of this type under the guise of legitimate polling.

My question for the Republican Hank Myers, who is running against Mr. Habib: Are you aware that this type of slanderous and racist polling is being performed on your behalf? Do you know who is funding it? Do you approve of it?

And if not, what are you doing to stop it?

www.redmond-reporter.com [ HARGRAVES from page 1] of Washington, has also taught multiple generations. He said he has even taught some of the RHS faculty when they were students at KJHS. In addition to his role as a teacher, Hargraves has been a longstanding member of the RHS community as a parent: All three of his children, who range from 21-29 years old, graduated from RHS. He said this community — made up of his colleagues and parents who are “so supportive” and involved in their children’s education — is one of the reasons he has stayed at the school and probably one of the reasons he has taught multiple generations.

“My kids so enjoyed their teachers here,” he said.

Hargraves said he wanted to be a teacher because growing up in the 1960s, he was part of a generation that wanted to change the world and make an impact.

He grew up in the Snoqualmie Valley and while

attending Mount Si High School, was inspired by a number of teachers and sports coaches who really pushed him and took the time to see him excel.

Hargraves does this with his students as well, which 16-year-old Heather Loschen can attest to. The sophomore, who is also in Hargraves’ precalculus class, said Hargraves takes the time to get to know his students and their learning styles on an individual basis and provide help accordingly.

Loschen added that Hargraves uses humor in his classes as well to keep his students engaged.

“You just get used to him being totally insane and it being the best part of your day,” she said. “It’s a big loss for Redmond that he’s leaving.”

Pavlov agreed. He said Hargraves’ jokes and teasing keep the students paying attention and engaged in the class.

“It’s getting people involved in multiple cognitive levels (not just math),”

Pavlov said.

Hargraves’ humor is so well-known that students have even started a Facebook page called “The Wisdom of Mr. Hargraves,” where people have posted memorable quotes and jokes he has uttered during class.

As adviser for RHS’s S.P.A.M. Club Hargraves’ humor reaches beyond the classroom. The club, which stands for Students Protesting Against Monotony, focuses on students pulling pranks and providing a fun break throughout the long school day every so often.

Hargraves and the S.P.A.M. Club are also responsible for bringing teacher mud wrestling to RHS’s annual homecoming festivities.

Hargraves said the humor he uses in class has been something he has developed during the course of his long career, but it was also something he learned when he was in school.

“My teachers that I liked were the ones who were funny and interesting and loved life,” he said.

[6] June 22, 2012 [ PSE from page 1] On Wednesday night, PSE held a public meeting at the Old Schoolhouse Community Center in Redmond to inform residents of its plans as well as garner input and feedback. The meeting included a presentation, during which PSE officials presented three alternate routes for where the new transmission line could run.

Project manager Barry Lombard said PSE and a stakeholder advisory group — which includes local residents, business owners, landowners and city representatives — initially came up with 30 routes for the

www.redmond-reporter.com new line using a computer modeling program before narrowing it down to three options. He said there is no preferred route at the moment.

“Your input will help select the route,” Lombard told meeting attendees Wednesday night.

Alternative 1 will run to the west of the Sammamish substation, with its main stretch running north on 124th Avenue Northeast, and end on Northeast 124th Street in Kirkland just south of Juanita High School (JHS) and the Juanita substation.

Alternative 2 also runs to the west of the Sammamish substation. This route’s

main stretch will be along 132nd Avenue Northeast and end at the Juanita substation.

Alternative 3 will run to the to the east of the Sammamish substation. Its main stretch will be along Willows Road Northeast to Northeast 124th Street before heading west and ending at the Juanita substation. Lombard said they will need to “thread the needle” for the northernmost half of the Willows Road Northeast portion because the City of Redmond has designated this area as a view corridor.

Lombard said PSE officials will meet with the advisory group on July 18 and hopefully recommend a route to them. He said the community will be able to provide more input once

the recommendation is made and they hope to have the finalized route by the end of August or beginning of September.

“I think it’s great,” Carmon Comunale said about the opportunities for public input.

Comunale attended Wednesday’s meeting to learn more about PSE’s plan as he lives on 132nd Avenue Northeast in Redmond — right along Alternative 2. He said one of his concerns is how the power lines would affect residents’ property values.

His concerns were echoed as a number of attendants also asked questions about property values during the question-andanswer portion of Wednesday’s meeting. They were told the new line wouldn’t

have any type of effect.

There was another question about money and if or how the cost of the three routes would affect the decision.

“These three options are going to be close enough in cost (that it won’t be a factor),” Lombard answered.

The high-level cost estimate for the project is between $6 million and $8 million. The actual cost will depend on route selection, engineering, construction, property rights and other factors.

Others were worried about health and safety, especially since portions of the proposed routes go through residential areas and are near schools and parks. In response, PSE representatives told the crowd their concerns would

be taken into consideration during the decision process.

Janell Bader, who lives in Redmond just off of 132nd Avenue Northeast on Northeast 112th Place, said even though the community has the opportunity to provide feedback, it’s hard to know how much of their comments will influence PSE’s decision.

“We go through this but we can’t make the decision,” she said.

There will be another community meeting on Saturday at Evergreen Hospital at 12040 N.E. 128th St. in Kirkland in the Surgery and Physicians Center’s Room TAN 100/101. The meeting will be from 10 a.m. to noon and contain the same information as Wednesday’s meeting.

No public input offered at first city budget hearing BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

On the

mean there has been no public input. City officials held three Neighborhood Network meetings in February and March when they got feedback on city spending and project priorities. 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.

Vache said the input that city staff has received so far suggests that the city is doing a good job.

“It was more confirmation that you are on the right track,” Vache said. “There were no changes to the priorities. People agree that those are the priorities.”

Vache said he did hear at one neighborhood meeting that parks need more emphasis in the upcoming budget, but other than that most people trust and appreciate the city’s BP process, which began in 2008 when Marchione first took office.

Council member Hank Margeson said Tuesday’s no show could be attributed to the fact that people feel “intimidated” when talking in front of council members. He encouraged residents

who don’t like to speak in public to email or call city officials with their input.

It’s still too early to estimate the final figure for the 2013-14 budget, but Bailey said he doesn’t expect the total amount to change drastically from 2011-12’s budget of $542 million.

“As for 2013-2014 it is premature to estimate an amount, but I expect the budget to be pretty static,” Bailey said. “We are continuing to see a strengthening in the economy but not much growth yet. The good news is that we do not see the reductions in the local economy that made the last budget process so difficult.

We expect a pretty steady budget plan for the next biennium.”

City officials expect to get more input as the budget process continues into the summer and fall, according to Jeri Rowe-Curtis, the city’s communications and marketing manager.

“We know that as the budget hearings become a more prominent focus at future council meetings, there will be opportunity for citizens to comment, share their input and to otherwise engage,” she said. “It’s early in the process, so we are not surprised that (Tuesday) night was a quiet one.”

Maybe it was stage fright, or the sunny weather or it could be that Redmond residents trust city staff with their money.

The city held its first official public hearing for the 2013-14 budget at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting as a way to garner input from residents. But no one took the podium to speak as the budget hearing began — and ended — with a presentation by city finance director Mike Bailey.

Mayor John Marchione will present his preliminary budget to City Council Oct. 9 and Tuesday’s public hearing gave residents an opportunity to express their opinion on how their money should be allocated for the next biennial budget. The city’s Budget by Priorities (BP) process is predicated on community input and for the second straight budget cycle, no one spoke at the first official budget hearing. A second budget hearing is slated for Oct. 16 with the final hearing set for Nov. 20.

The City Council is scheduled to adopt the 2013-14 budget at its Dec. 4 meeting after a series of budget study sessions, where council members will discuss

Police Blotter The police blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police inci-

The Redmond Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Redmond, which gets more than 500 calls (emergency and non-emergency) per week.

SENIORS AND SLEEP

Well, it seems another erroneous myth having to do with seniors is about to take a fall. According to a recent survey of 155,877 randomly chosen adults, healthy older adults have no problem getting a good night’s sleep. In fact, seniors may be sleeping better than much younger adults. That is, compared with their counterparts over the age of 80, men between the ages of 20 and 24 were twice as likely to report sleep problems. Among women, the differences were not as large. Women between the ages of 18 and 24 were 1.61 times more likely to report sleep problems as women over 80. As a general matter, people reported increasingly better sleep as they grew older.

Theft: Redmond police responded to a 1:13 p.m. theft report of a license plate in the 14700 block of Northeast 95th Street.

Property damage: At 10:15 p.m., a complainant in the 2400 block of 176th Court Northeast reported that her juvenile son had damaged property during an argument. The son was subsequently placed into custody for investigation of malicious mischief.

Two Redmond fires ruled suspicious by investigators BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Two fires in a two-day span at a Redmond mobile home park have been ruled suspicious by the Redmond Police and Fire departments, according to police spokesman Jim Bove.

Both fires happened in the 11400 block of Avondale Road Northeast at the Avon Villa mobile home park.

The fires caused minor damage to detached sheds of mobile homes units.

There were no injuries during either fire, Bove said.

The first fire happened Monday around 10 a.m. and the second was reported Tuesday at around 8 a.m.

The fires are ruled suspicious because they both occurred in the same area on two consecutive days, both around the same time, Bove said.

There are currently no suspects and anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Man assaulted along Sammamish River Trail Male suspect bites man’s pinky; police investigation continues BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

The Redmond Police Department is investigating an incident along the Sammamish River Trail last Friday night, when a male suspect bit another man’s pinky, according to police spokesman Jim Bove.

Bove said a husband and wife,

along with the wife’s father, were walking along the trail near Leary Way Northeast at around 9:30 p.m. when a group of three males rode by on white bicycles and dropped “a few items, one of which appeared to be a plastic container with marijuana in it,” Bove said.

Several minutes later, the cyclists turned around to retrieve the items, accused the family of taking the marijuana and “demanded they empty their pockets,” Bove said.

The family members explained

that someone else had already grabbed the dropped items. That’s when one of the male suspects assaulted the husband, biting his pinkie finger.

The wife tried to call 911, but one of the male suspects knocked the phone out of her hand. The three male suspects then rode off northbound on the trail.

Police do not have an approximate age or a detailed description of the suspects as the case remains under investigation, Bove said.

changing, using the “Linsanity” over Asian American NBA player Jeremy Lin this year as an example.

“Can you master change?” Sun asked the crowd.

He said his father taught him that when setting a goal, it was important to stay on a straight path to achieve that goal. But Sun said running a business — especially one in the tech industry — is not the same as it used to be and it is necessary step off that path to keep up with all the changes.

“We literally have a pivot every day,” he said, referring to the twists and turns that

come with running Pirq.

“You almost have to habitually learn to pivot.”

A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT

In addition to Sun’s speech, Thursday’s event was also the grand opening of thinkspace’s MIH, a new workspace on the ground floor of the thinkspace building, located at 8201 164th Ave. N.E. With open team spaces, conference rooms, standing work stations and individual desk and computer stations, the MIH emphasizes the benefits of working in a collaborative environment.

During his speech, one of the first things Sun spoke about was how to be successful and what success means.

“There are many combinations to success,” he said, explaining that everyone’s path is different.

Sun, who lives in Kirkland, also added that success doesn’t always equal money if a person is not passionate about what they are doing.

www.redmond-reporter.com [ SUN from page 12] Thinkspace Chief Operations Officer Alyssa Magnotti said the MIH allows small business owners and entrepreneurs to surround themselves with “like-minded people” with similar goals of success, even if their business ventures are different. As Magnotti put it, it is “better to work together than alone.”

“It’s a lot more about the people,” she said about the MIH.

This aspect of the MIH aligns with thinkspace’s mission to “build a strong community of entrepreneurs, tech startups, small businesses, and non-profits which share similar core values.”

Redmond City Council President Pat Vache, who attended Thursday’s event, agreed. As a client, he utilizes thinkspaces offices for his human resources company HR Kinections. Vache said thinkspace is a great place

for exchanging ideas.

“All the resources are here to get a business started, including the opportunity to talk with people who think the same way,” he said.

Word of Mouth

CAVITIES AT EARLIER AGES

While tooth decay has been on the decline over the past few decades, dentists are discovering a worrisome new uptick in cavities. It seems that a number of preschoolers all over the country, in all income levels, are developing so many cavities that they must undergo general anesthesia to treat them all. In such cases, it is not uncommon to see preschoolers with six to ten cavities or more at one time. This growing problem is likely due to increased use of bottled water (which does not contain fluoride) and increased snacking on sugary foods and drinks at bedtime. Making matters worse, many parents do not insist that their toddlers brush before going to bed. Children are paying the price.

The increased incidence of multiple cavities among preschoolers underlines the importance of taking a child for a visit to the dentist before his or her first birthday to assess cavity risk and establish good oral health habits.

At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we can help instill healthy oral hygiene techniques and can point out areas that may require extra attention during brushing and flossing to prevent cavities. Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, we promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. You can find us in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 BelRed Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue. Call us at 425.641.4111 to schedule an appointment. Beautiful smiles are a team effort.

Periodontal disease, or tooth and gum disease, is one of the most prevalent health disorders in dogs and cats. Studies have shown that most canines show some signs of this disease by 3 years of age.

If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to secondary disease conditions that can seriously threaten the health of affected pets.

Bacteria can gain entrance into the bloodstream by way of the teeth and gums, seeding the body with infection. In advanced cases, these bacteria can overwhelm the immune system, leading to eventual heart and kidney failure.

Mariners score big with sustainable practices M’s vice president helps make Safeco Field an eco-friendly ballpark Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

The subject of sports usually does not come up during conversations about sustainability, but Scott Jenkins is working to change that.

As vice president of ballpark operations for the Seattle Mariners, the Mercer Island resident spends his days “greening” Safeco Field and working to turn it into an ecofriendly ballpark. On Wednesday, he shared some of the Mariners’ techniques and practices with Redmond businesses during this month’s Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce member luncheon.

“We’ve had some unbelievable success,” he said about the programs they have initiated.

Jenkins joined the Mariners organization mid-season 2006 and one of the first things he did was go over the organization’s utility bills and see where they could cut energy use. Since then, the stadium’s natural gas use has been reduced by 60 percent, the electricity use by 30 percent and water use by 15 percent.

In addition to being good for the planet, he told the lunch crowd cutting down on utility usage has also been good for their bottom line as they have saved about $1.5 million at Safeco Field since he joined the team.

“It makes sense to conserve,” he said.

One of the biggest successes they have seen at the stadium has been with its recycling program. [ more JENKINS page 15 ]

Two-time Class 4A high school state breaststroke champion Heather Harper, who swam for Redmond High School (RHS) and now swims for Boise State University, will compete in next week's U.S. Olympic Trials at Omaha, Neb. Harper, 18, qualified for the Trials for the first time in the 100-meter breaststroke back in March in the USA Swimming Sectionals at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way. She clocked a time of 1 minute, 12.14 seconds — just five-hundredths Heather Harper of second under the Trials qualifying time.

Harper talked about her qualifying for the Trials in a video on the Boise State University athletics website at http://tinyurl.com/d66kzal.

The Trials will be held June 25-July 2 at the CenturyLink Center. Harper will swim in Tuesday's 100-meter breaststroke preliminaries with the finals in that event scheduled for Wednesday.

Harper, who was homeschooled, but swam for RHS, won the state breaststroke state title in 2008 and 2010.

She finished second in 2009.

All of the preliminary races at the Trials will be webcast live at usaswimming.org, starting Monday.

www.redmond-reporter.com Jenkins said Safeco Field’s recycling rate — the amount of overall waste that is recycled — in 2005 was 12 percent. That number has since increased to 81 percent, but he said he wants to see that figure bumped up to 90 percent.

To encourage stadium employees and baseball fans to dispose of their waste properly, Jenkins said they have designated specific containers for compost, plastic bottles and landfill waste. Corresponding signs and visuals make it easier for people to sort out what goes where.

“Signage is key,” he said, adding that they have saved $95,000 in landfill costs since setting up these “Zero Waste” stations.

Another way the Mariners have incorporated sustainability and environmental awareness into the culture at Safeco Field has been through trivia games and giveaways on game days. While T-shirts and bobble heads are commonplace, the Mariners have also been known to

give fans kitchen compost containers and potting soil during the last couple of years.

Jenkins said the latter has been really popular among fans.

He added that using sports to engage people and encourage them to be more environmentally aware is a unique way to tell the sustainability story and inspire people to go green in their everyday lives.

“If we can do it, anyone can do it at home,” Jenkins said.

In addition to encouraging stadium workers and fans to do their part, Jenkins said the businesses, vendors, organizations and consultants they have

worked and partnered with have been an important part of their success. He said buying the correct type of equipment, utensils and products has a significant effect on their programs.

“It’s really a collaborative effort,” he said, adding that he also meets with his counterparts at other stadiums and ballparks to see what they are doing and what has worked for them.

Jenkins is also a board member of the Green Sports Alliance (GSA), a nonprofit with the mission to “help sports teams, venues and leagues enhance their environmental performance,” according to its website.

The Olympic sport was the top response of a community interest survey conducted by LWSD, which reviewed high school athletic offerings as part of the district’s transition to four-year

high schools and to ensure Title IX compliance, according to a LWSD news release.

There was a list of 25 different sports in the interest survey with 166 out of the 782 high school girls who responded picking badminton as their No. 1 choice, Reith said.
