For many, mid-August symbolizes hot weather, beaches and a lackadaisical life style.

But for Kirkland resident, Linda Clanin-Swanberg, this time of the month reminds her of the last time she saw her son.

“He came home seven years ago for two weeks in August on pre-deployment leave,” said Swanberg. “He was just really anxious to help his buds, I’ve never seen him so eager and ready to just do what he’d been trained to do for the last nine months.”

Lance Cpl. Shane Swanberg told his mom in 2005 he’d see her in just “seven short months” but was killed just 10 days after his deployment to Ramadi, Iraq in early September. He was 24 when he died.

Bellevue resident Robyn White shares a similar tragedy after her son, Joeseph White, died on deployment in Afghanistan in 2009. Joeseph had just gotten married a few months prior.

But on Thursday, Aug. 16 friends, family and the officials from the Redmond Fire Department gathered around two planted trees with plaques and patriotic flags at the Redmond Veterans of Foreign Wars to remember the young men for their

fter a driver high on marijuana and Ecstasy plowed into Tony Pedeferri on Dec. 19, 2007 and left him with major spinal injuries, he thought his cycling days were done.

Before the accident, the Redmond native regularly competed in various cycling events including the Derby Days Criterium. He had also participated in a number of triathlons and Ironman competitions, including the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, which he competed in three times.

Transmission line route minimizes impact on residential neighborhoods Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

After almost a year of meetings, sorting through comments from the community and deliberating, a

stakeholder advisory group (SAG) has come up with a recommended route for the four-mile 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line Puget Sound Energy (PSE) plans to construct from Redmond to Kirkland.

The new Sammamish-Juanita 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 and will be part

of the larger Moorlands electric system that also serves Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville.

The recommended route will run to the east of the Sammamish substation. Its main stretch will

be along Willows Road Northeast to Northeast 124th Street before heading west. The northern most half of the Willows Road [ more PSE LINE page 10 ]

[ Memorial from page 1] time served. The mothers spoke of their loss and thanked John Kenny of VFW for organizing the memorial event.

Both mothers are volunteers with VFW. Kenny decided to plant the trees after Swanberg showed him a tree last year that her coworkers at the City of Redmond planted for her.

Swanberg is the fire prevention administrator assistant of Redmond.

“You’re not supposed to outlive your own children,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione, who knew Swanberg when her son was lost.

White said the memorial was meaningful to her because she knows “he’s being remembered and not forgotten.”

“He died doing what he wanted to do and we’re proud of him,” said White, who is also the mother of 10.

Swanberg said after her son’s death his “marine family” became her family.

“They call themselves my sons and call me mom.

It’s just awesome,” said Swanberg. “It’s a real warm feeling in the midst of devastation.”

She then joined an organized support group called the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. There, she met White and developed a unique friendship.

“It’s one of these connections that I can’t explain,” Swanberg said.

Swanberg said that when new Gold Star moms join the group many of the current members gather around and support them.

“The first few years are so difficult,” she said.

Both of the woman were gifted pencil-drawn portraits of their sons courtesy of Edmond’s artist Michael Reagan. Reagan created the Fallen Heroes Project as a way to give families some way of remembering their loved ones.

Reagan is a Vietnam War veteran and has done more than 3,000 Fallen Heroes portraits nationwide as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Reagan draws two

portraits a day and, he says, each one takes about five hours. All of his portraits are done for free.

“It’s about love. You can’t rationalize why I’m doing what I’m doing,” said Reagan. “People have a hard time believing I’ve given up everything to do this.”

Reagan has drawn famous celebrities, presidents and the pope but he said his work with the Fallen Heroes Project gives him something spiritual.

“The day I’ll stop doing these portraits is the day before someone has to do mine,” said Reagan.

Reagan survived the summer of 1967 at Con Thien, a major battle ground during the Vietnam War. He said it was there that his friend died in his arms.

“He looked up at me and said, ‘Mike, I just want to go home’ and I watched him go,’” said Reagan. “It’s a vision I have every day.”

And it is this vision that drives him to send these portraits all over the world so that people can see their loved ones, with eyes that are full of life, one last time.

Donations for Reagan’s art can be given at Fallen HeroesProject.org.

Word of Mouth

by Dr. Adam Cramer

A BRIDGE TO SOMEWHERE

In cases where several teeth are missing or the adjacent teeth are not sufficiently strong to serve as abutments (anchors) for a fixed bridge, a removable restoration may be used. A partial denture consists of a framework that fits along the gums and other soft tissues of the mouth; attachments (clasps and rests), which connect the framework to remaining natural teeth; and artificial (prosthetic) teeth that are mounted onto the framework. Unlike fixed bridges, partial dentures are not permanently attached to underlying (prepared) teeth or implants. Instead, they derive some of their support from the gums and jawbones upon which the framework sits. The metal framework of a removable partial denture never touches the gums, so sore spots are almost never an issue. Over time, as the mouth naturally changes, it will likely be necessary to adjust the denture.

Nearly everyone who has one or more missing teeth is a candidate for a dental bridge. One of our many valuable services we provide at NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, is a thorough and complete examination. Virtually all dental problems - decay, gum disease, jaw joint difficulties and loose teeth are easily detected in their early stages and can be treated most economically and comfortably at that time. Find us in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue. We’re currently accepting new patients and we welcome you to call us at 425.641.4111.

Diapers for deadlines A heartfelt goodbye to the Redmond community BIL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

I

t’s sad to say, but I’m leaving as editor of the Redmond Reporter to take on a new job and begin an exciting new chapter in my life. I will soon work for the most demanding — and rewarding — boss in my life.

Aug. 31 will mark the end the of my tenure working in this wonderful community as I begin my new full-time duty of caring for my fivemonth-old son, Blake James Christianson.

My new job will, no doubt, feature plenty of challenges, but the joy of staying home and raising my only son will be priceless and forever gratifying.

It’s hard to explain the excitement — and anxiety — that I have bubbling inside of me. I am excited about the opportunity to focus all of my time and energy on my bundle of joy, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit nervous too.

This is unknown territory for me, but I know one thing for sure: Blake and I will become better men because of this decision.

So starting in September, I will exchange my tape recorder and computer for a baby bottle and diapers — and you know what? I couldn’t be happier.

I am very sad to leave after five years of writing city news, community features, business profiles and sports achievements, but I am leaving for a much-greater calling.

My beautiful and smart fiance Holly will be returning to work full-time next month — leaving me home alone with Blake. I can definitely see a Daddy blog in my future — I will need some place to brag and vent.

Watch out world, “Bill and Blake’s Excellent Adventure” is about to begin.

My year will only get better as Holly and I will be getting married in December, tying the official knot on my most excellent family.

Blake and Bill Christianson are ready to take the world by storm. Photo courtesy of Holly Diehl The only sour part of this magical year will be leaving the Redmond community, where I have grown so much — professionally and personally.

I have met some amazing people during my time at the Reporter who have helped shape

this wonderful community. Redmond residents should be proud to live, work and play here. It is a financially stable city that values its parks, schools, senior citizens and families. It is a firstclass city that is only getting better with time — no wonder Money Magazine voted Redmond the fifth best place to live in the country.

Longtime Bothell-Kenmore Reporter editor Andy Nystrom will replace me and continue the Redmond Reporter’s dedication to local news and community involvement.

There have been several changes at the Redmond Reporter during my five years here, but our mission has never wavered: to provide the community with up-to-date, in-depth reporting about everything Redmond.

Thank you to the staff at the Redmond Reporter for making this newspaper Redmond’s go-to resource. Thank you to Sound Publishing for giving me the opportunity to develop my craft and thank you to the Redmond community for embracing — and challenging — me for the last five years.

It’s been a fun ride Redmond, but now it’s time for me to buckle up for the next journey in my life.

Bill Christianson will be leaving the Redmond Reporter Aug. 31 after five years as editor.

How to deal with the impact of tragic stories on kids

T

he shooting of a father in Seattle; 12 killed in a Colorado movie theater; six shot in a temple; a young girl is shot and killed at a party.

In the past year, it seems we have been bombarded with stories about senseless violence.

And while such tragedies may create worry for even the most hardy adult, they can be especially confusing and frightening for children and teens How do we help our kids cope?

As parents, we may not be able to protect our children from crisis, but we can react in a way that prevents it from causing undue stress. When disaster or violence hits the news, we sometimes want to hold our kids closer and avoid similar settings.

But it’s important to let them go about their usual activities — even if it includes a trip to the theater.

When kids hear these stories, they

often have fears about whether it will happen to them. Talk with them honestly about what happened, but don’t overly focus on it. Sometimes fear can be allayed in older children by helping them plan what they would do to stay safe if they were caught in a dangerous situation.

Here are some other tips for helping kids: • Encourage children to talk about their feelings. Ask what they have seen or heard and if there’s anything they’re worried about.

Then give them only as much information as you feel they need, and let their responses guide you.

• Let your children know that their fears and emotions are okay by acknowledging their feelings while providing reassurance. Don’t minimize their concerns by telling them not to worry, especially Patti SkeltonMcGougan

since any subsequent incident will diminish that line of logic.

• During the heat of the crisis, keep the news off when your kids are in earshot and try not to bring it up excessively. Even young kids absorb more than you realize, even when they don’t appear to be paying attention.

• Use the news as a teachable moment when you can share your family values. For instance, you might point out the importance of helping those who are unable to help themselves.

• With older children, use the news to discuss tough issues raised in these stories, like accepting people from different religions or cultures It’s important to remember that as scary as these recent random acts of violence have been, more kids are harmed by guns in the home. Figures gathered from emergency rooms across the United States show that around 20,000 children are injured by

firearms each year and 900 incidents are fatal.

If you own a gun, this is an ideal time for a safety check: keep it locked, out of reach of kids, and unloaded. But even if you don’t own a gun, remember your child may still play at a home that has guns or be exposed to a gun if someone brings it to school or the park.

Tell your children that if another child shows them a gun or they see an adult other than a police officer or soldier with a gun in a public setting, they should absolutely tell you or another adult immediately.

If they are alone and have a cell phone, instruct them to dial 9-1-1.

Assure them that they won’t be in trouble, and that it could help avoid someone getting hurt or killed.

He barely moved 10 feet during that first attempt. “(I thought), ‘Well, athletics is over,’” he said.

A NEW LIFE, A NEW RACE

Redmond native Tony Pedeferri will be competing against “the best of the best” in the upcoming 2012 Paralympics in London. Courtesy photo

FIRST TRIP ACROSS THE POND

Tony’s parents, aunt, brothers Mark and Andre, wife and daughters will all

travel across the pond on Monday to cheer him on in his first Paralympics.

Peggy said this will be the first time in London for most of the family and in addition to watching Tony race, they are looking forward to doing a bit of site seeing. The games’ Opening Ceremony is Aug. 29, but Tony doesn’t compete until Sept. 5, so they will have a few days to enjoy the city.

Tony said if he is able to, he would like to see some of the older buildings in England and learn their history. But as he will be in London to compete, his time will be more limited than his family’s because he has to rest up for his races. He added that getting around in a wheelchair in England will also be a little more difficult.

“Europe is definitely not as accessible as the United States are,” he said.

Final historic district tour set for Sept. 9 This year’s final walking tour of the historic downtown Redmond will be Sept. 9 from 1-2:30 p.m.

The tour, guided by historian Tom Hitzroth, will provide facts and figures as well as stories, gossip and big names in Redmond’s history.

The walking tour will begin on the front steps of the Justice White House at 7730 Leary Way N.E., at the west end of Redmond Town Center where the Saturday Market is held.

Hitzroth will also conduct a haunted history tour on September 30 from 5-7 p.m., which will also begin at Justice White House. A tour will not be held if it rains.

Registration is required by Sept. 7. The fee is $8 per person and will help fund Redmond Historical Society research. For more information, call (425) 885-2919, email info@redmo ndhistoricalsociety.org or visit redmondhistoricalsociety.org.

athletes’ injury levels. H1 is for quadriplegics, the most injured in the sport.

Peggy said H1 handcycles have three wheels, one in the front and two in the back, and the athletes lay on their backs and power the vehicle with just their hands. “(Tony’s) elbows miss the pavement by about an inch,” she said about how low her son is to the ground.

Tony said athletes only compete against others in their category and he is the only one from Team USA — among men and women — in the H1 category. A total of 17 handcyclists — nine men and eight women — from the United States are headed to London.

It took a year — which Pedeferri described as “survival” as he relearned how to function — before he reconsidered handcycling.

He has never looked back, competing in his first race in May 2010.

Now only two years after that first race, 41-yearold Pedeferri, who now lives in Camarillo, Calif., is headed for the London 2012 Paralympics later this month. He qualified while competing in the 2012 USA Cycling Para-cycling Road National Championships in June.

“It was a good feeling,” he said about learning he would represent the United States in the upcoming games.

Pedeferri’s parents Jon and Peggy Pedeferri still live on Union Hill where Tony and his two brothers grew up in Redmond and are very proud of their son.

An emotional Peggy said too many people in Tony’s situation let an accident rule their life, but her son changed his life. She said he calls Dec. 19 his new birthday — the beginning of his new life.

“He just embraced it…

He has his dark days, don’t get me wrong. I mean, we all do,” Peggy said. “He’s an inspiration to the whole family.”

Part of that inspiration comes from the fact that Tony competes in the H1 category of handcycling, which is divided into four categories based on the

The Paralympics run through Sept. 9 and Tony will compete Sept. 5 and 7.

The first event will be a time trial. The second will be a road race that will take place partly at Brands Hatch — an internationally renowned motor racing circuit in England’s Kent County — and partly on the county roads.

Tony said the time trial is 12 miles and the final road race will be about 36 miles.

Qualifying for the Paralympics has been especially satisfying for Tony because he said he is back competing at an elite level — just in a different sport. He will be competing against about two dozen men.

He said the Paralympics and similar sporting events for injured athletes are very important because it gives them a sense of normalcy and something else to focus on besides their injuries.

“You’re never away from (your injuries),” Tony said.

He said the Paralympics in particular also give injured athletes “a competitive outlet” and a viable and valid competition. Tony said the selection process they go through is just as rigorous as the one able-bodied athletes go through for the Olympics.

The level of performance is just as high, he said.

“It’s the best of the best,” Tony said.

When many people think of the relationship between food and schools these days, they think of the continuing obesity epidemic among children and the poor quality of many school lunches. Given all the news, that’s a reasonable thought. There is, however, a much more fundamental relationship between nutrition and education. Put simply, without good nutrition, it’s much harder for children and adults to learn.

The brain gets energy from food just like the rest of the body.

Just think about what happens when you know you need to

eat. People can become more irritable, find their critical thinking faculties impaired and lack attention and concentration skills. All of these things can be remedied by eating a balanced meal. Eating breakfast and maintaining regular nutrition act as pre-emptive strikes on these kinds of problems.

You’ve heard all of the information on healthy eating before, so here are just a few tips to maximize your nutrition.

Try to get a mix of whole grains, vegetables, good fats and protein. That means that a bagel and coffee or scrambled eggs and bacon are actually worse for you than a slice of vegetable pizza and a glass of orange juice in the morning.

One of the best things you can do for your brain and body is simply to eat some type of breakfast. The word itself originally meant to break the fasting from the previous evening’s meal. If people don’t have some type of breakfast, they can go about 18 hours without any energy being put into the body.

The general energy of children, particularly teenagers, and the tendency to sleep late put breakfast into crunch time. To combat this, you can have granola or energy bars. Even last night’s leftovers are better for learning than nothing at all.

Sometimes eating right isn’t on the top of the list of priorities, but if you or your children are trying to learn, paying more attention to nutrition everyday will make a big difference in the amount of learning that happens over the long term. Good nutrition is particularly important for those just starting out their learning journey, but it’s useful for anyone who is looking to acquire new knowledge or a new skill.

Airlift training exercise helps keep skills sharp Redmond first responders part of helicopter practice at Bear Creek School

“It’s critical for the patients’ success,” she said.

Kuty added that being a flight nurse doesn’t require any extra schooling, but they learn a lot on the job.

“It’s a lot more hands-on training,” she said.

During Tuesday’s training session, ground crews onsite got some hands-on training as well by strapping “patient” Redmond firefighter Taylor Hutton onto the stretcher and loading him into the helicopter.

Hutton said things are a bit snug initially going in, but once he was settled in, the area is quite open from a patient’s perspective.

f anyone was outside on Union Hill in Redmond Tuesday morning and happened to look up around 10 a.m., they probably would have seen an Airlift Northwest helicopter circling the area in search of a place to land.

But the first responders gathered on The Bear Creek School grounds were not awaiting the mechanical bird’s arrival to transport a trauma patient to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The helicopter’s presence in town was part of a training exercise for the Redmond Fire Department (RFD), Medic One and other area agencies.

Once the helicopter landed, pilot Art Godjikian discussed what he needs in a landing zone and the things ground crews can do to help him before he arrives on the scene such as provide coordinates, information about wind direction, nearby wires, poles and signs as well as proper lighting at night.

Godjikian also discussed how quickly they can get to eastern King County.

“We can get here in 10 minutes,” he said.

However, this is only if they are leaving from Boeing Field in Seattle.

In addition to Seattle, Airlift Northwest has helicopters in Bellingham, Arlington and Olympia that fly to wherever they are needed throughout western Washington. Patients are then flown to Harborview, a level-one trauma center.

ground crews in preparing patients for transport. Jaime Pritchard, an adult flight nurse with the company, said if everything goes right, they could have a patient ready to go in 10 minutes or less — their average time is about four minutes.

“I’d love it if it was three minutes. ... We want to get out of here, too,” she said about working as quickly as possible to prepare patients to fly.

Emily Kuty, a pediatric nurse with Airlift Northwest, said once a patient is loaded into the helicopter, they continue to provide care until they arrive at Harborview. She said they have to rely on their nursing knowledge and training and learn to adapt to working in a more cramped space.

physicians in all specialties on hand. “(Harborview has) the staff and the equipment and they’re there 24/7,” said RFD Capt. Jim Jordan.

Jordan, who is in charge of a medical battalion, said they only call Airlift Northwest in dire situations when the patient is seriously injured.

He added that since a helicopter could be flying from as close as Seattle or as far as Bellingham, they will look at different routes and traffic conditions to determine whether just driving from the Eastside to Seattle would be faster than waiting for a helicopter because time is of the essence in these cases.

“These people need to go quickly (to Harborview),” he said about trauma patients.

Because time is such a large factor in transporting patients to the medical center, Jordan said having ongoing training is important to help first responders practice and keep their skills.

Jordan said training sessions aren’t held in one designated area and additional training sessions have been held at the Bellevue Fire Training Center so agencies from Kirkland, Woodinville and Bellevue in addition to Redmond can attend whichever and where it is convenient for them.

For the training in Redmond, The Bear Creek School volunteered its grounds — which is next door to Redmond Fire Station 13.

“That’s a great community service on their part,” Jordan said about the school.

Kelly Saulsbury, director of building operations at Bear Creek, said they are grateful to have two critical sites on campus that can be used as landing zones for Airlift Northwest.

Karen Beman, vice president of enrollment, collegiate and alumni affairs for the school, added that partnerships between Bear Creek and the emergency responders is especially important because safety is such a high priority in a pre-K through 12 environment.

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret?

A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.

Empowered

Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves.

Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it?

Odds Against Us

Consider this: MYTH:

Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.

FACT:

By the age of 50, the average American is missing 4 or more teeth.

MYTH:

Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.

FACT:

Oral hygiene is important, but

MYTH:

Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.

Traditional Remedies

FACT:

Most dental problems do not “self-resolve”

MYTH:

Dentures are the only option for those dealing with tooth loss.

FACT:

Dental implants look and feel

Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches.

The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers

Before ClearChoice, getting implants could take over a year and involve endless visits to multiple providers. Our state-of-the-art facilities bring everything together under one roof. The doctors, technicians and cutting edge technology needed for a fast, convenient result can all be found in one place. That is how ClearChoice can deliver beautiful smiles in just one day.*

PSE officials said if they don’t receive permission from all businesses in the area to weave their line through, the fallback will be to just continue along Willows Road Northeast up to

house events earlier this week — including one Wednesday evening at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center — to gather more feedback on the route.

Project manager Barry Lombard said since the recommended route was announced, there have been no “game-changer” comments as most of the feedback PSE has received has been positive.

One of the biggest concerns people had throughout the commenting process was having the line run through residential areas. The final recom-

mended route minimizes this and as a result, many of the comments posted on the feedback board at Wednesday’s open house thanked PSE for doing this.

“We did really listen to people,” Lombard said.

In coming up with the final route, the SAG — which included local residents, business owners, landowners and city representatives — initially came up with 30 routes for the new line. Members narrowed it down to three routes before presenting the alternatives to the community earlier this summer.

PSE held public meetings in Redmond and Kirkland to gain feedback, answer questions and learn about any concerns people had. From there, the SAG came up with a final recommended route

Lombard said construction will probably start around 2014 or 2015.

PSE began the Sammamish-Juanita 115kV Line project in 2008 in response to the increased use of electricity in the area due to the growing population as well as the increased use of electronics.

Redmond resident David Rossiter, who stopped by Wednesday’s open house, said he can see the need for an additional transmission line.

“We have an office in our home, so our electricity use is up in the last five years,” he said. “If we’re typical, I get it.”

According to Money, some qualities that put Redmond in the top five are the city’s “historic buildings, quirky shops, eateries and brewpubs” that mingle with “colorful condo and retail developments with public art and giant evergreens.”

Redmond’s proximity to Seattle the Cascade Mountains and 90-plus wineries to the north make Microsoft’s hometown “an ideal base camp for exploring the Northwest,” the magazine states, as well as the city’s “picturesque neighborhoods, low crime rate, and stellar schools are a major part of the city’s attraction.”

that is a hybrid of two of the three alternatives presented in June.

Lombard said they don’t typically hold such an involved process when they have to construct a new transmission line. PSE will usually hold public meetings to let communities know what is happening and gather feedback but they only use a SAG in more urbanized areas.

“You can’t avoid impacting people,” he said about all projects, but especially those in more populated communities.

Cleveland Street in downtown Redmond will be closed between 161st Avenue Northeast and Leary Way on Saturday from 7-10 a.m.

The City of Redmond will be doing some major tree trimming of the American Elm trees located near the Stone House at 16244 Cleveland St.. This comes after concerns were raised over the safety of the overhanging tree limbs.

Detours will be in place to allow local access to all buildings. Parking will also be restricted along Cleveland Street in the vicinity of the work area.

Because the trees overhang the sidewalk, driveway and street, the hazards of the trees were evaluated in terms of ongoing potential risk to vehicles and pedestrians.

The elm trees are at least 100 years old and have developed Dutch elm disease and severe internal rotting of the trunks and the branches that are overhanging the sidewalk, driveway and street. The trees are reaching the end of their lifecycle and have become a hazard due to their poor condition.

The City of Redmond engaged three arborists to evaluate the trees and whether pruning would prolong their life. The other considerations were how the trees might impact the Stone House and its preservation overtime as a historic landmark property.

While interim plans are to trim the four elm trees adjacent to the street and driveway, the eventual plan will be to consider removing the trees and incorporate landscaping of the historical street frontage with a comprehensive landscape plan for Old Town projects, the Downtown Park and the Cleveland Streetscape.

...YOUNG @ HEART

A happy ending for Fairwinds love birds Shortly thereafter, World War II changed everything for everyone. Merle enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941 and June went to work for Douglas Aircraft. They were separated by time and circumstance but they remained friends. When he was on leave, June’s parents would always offer him a good meal and a warm bed, even though June had long ago left the family home in the mountain community

of Twin Peaks, Calif. Merle would always give her folks a thrill by waving thank you with the wings of his aircraft as he flew low over their house on his way back to the front. Merle continued his noteworthy career with the Air Force. They eventually married others and lost touch with each other.

Flash forward 45-plus years: June had been widowed years earlier. Her daughters were grown with

An assessment of the personalities of over 200 centenarians shows that extroverts tend to live longer. What makes this study so significant is that it focused on a small subset population that is genetically very similar. Previous studies of these people showed that they have genetic reasons that help explain their longevity, such as genes related to cellular repair mechanisms. In addition, researchers speculated that there may also be some underlying genetic mechanisms that encourage certain personality traits that may give rise to longevity. Such proved to be the case when researchers found that the most easygoing, optimistic, engaged, and extroverted individuals tended to live the longest. This longlived group laughed easily and expressed their emotions openly.

– “I do” – Merle became a husband, a father and a grandfather, and soon after, a great-grandfather. Yes, this is definitely a love story with a happy ending — and to think it all began with a pair of roller skates.

June and Merle are very active at Fairwinds Redmond. It’s always a pleasant experience when you pass June and Merle in the hallway. They send a loving smile and a “hello” your way, and it’s just the cutest thing to see them holding hands on the way to dinner. In fact, as Merle would say, I think they are “near perfect.”

It all started in 1940 at a Sears Department store in Los Angeles.

They were not yet 20 years old. June was a secretary to the manager of the store, while Merle was a messenger. Pre-email, he delivered messages to

families of their own and she had moved back to her childhood home to care for her 98 year-old mother.

Merle was living in Arizona, having recently lost his wife to illness. They had no children. He was alone.

Merle traveled to California to visit his siblings and on a whim decided to drive up to Twin Peaks. It was beautiful up there and he wanted to see if the house still stood where June’s parents had been so kind to him many years prior. Merle pulled into that driveway the day June buried her mother, making that day both a day of loss and the first day of the rest of their lives.

June and Merle Fister were married in 1992. It was a beautiful family affair. With just two words

...WORLD OF PETS

Pet Health Care Primer:

What you need to do and when For pet owners, there are few things more exciting than bringing home a new companion. And while it’s fun to play with that new furry friend during those first months together, there’s also some business to take care of. Setting a pet up for a long, rich life is in your hands, so it’s important to know how to take care of his health from the start.

Whether you found your new pet at a local shelter or through a breeder, it’s important to have discussions about what veterinary care the youngster has already received.

Many organizations and breeders make the effort to give puppies and kittens the necessary treatments in their earliest weeks of life, before they’re ready to go home with new owners. However, you should remember that those steps are only the beginning - it’s up to you to continue your pet’s health care.

Follow these tips to ensure that your pet’s health stays on track for life.

• Fix at four. Spaying and neutering are an essential part of responsible pet ownership. However, even pet parents who know how important the procedure is might not be aware of how early a pet can start reproducing. Because kittens can get pregnant as early as 4 months and puppies at 6 months, Best Friends Animal Society urges pet owners to keep the principle of “fix at four” in mind. That means, in most cases, that you should spay or neuter at 4 months.

You should always consult with your veterinarian, but if that seems young, keep in mind that, depending on the individual animal, it can be safe to fix at that age and that younger pets can bounce back from the surgery sooner. Even if your pet is male, fixing is just as important, as he might be the cause of an accidental litter - and as many as half of the 70,000 puppies and kittens born every day are accidents, according to Best Friends Animal Society. For more details about spaying and neutering, and to find resources for having your pet fixed, visit www.fixatfour.com.

combination vaccine given at 6-7 weeks, 10 weeks, 13 weeks and 16-19 weeks. Rabies vaccinations are also essential for both cats and dogs, and should be given regularly throughout your pet’s lifetime.

• Keep up with preventive care. In addition to vaccines, you need to protect your pet from other threats to their health. Some of the most common concerns are ticks, fleas and worms. For both kittens and puppies, you can start fighting heartworm early, by beginning a program of heartworm medication at 6 weeks. If your puppy is older than 7 months and you’re not sure whether he’s been given heartworm medication in the past, you should have him tested before you start any prevention measures. Other worms, such as roundworms, whipworms and hookworms, can cause diarrhea and growth delays in your pet and are transmissible to humans. Luckily, they are fairly easy to keep in check with a regular deworming treatment schedule.

Keeping your pet free of fleas and ticks will make his life more comfortable and also help prevent diseases, such as Lyme disease. Combined flea and tick prevention medications make it easy to prevent both types of pests in one step. Some popular topical preventive treatments can be used on puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks.

Owning a pet can be one of life’s greatest joys, providing you with a best friend and a constant companion. Make sure that you repay your pet’s loyalty by caring for him from the start and maintaining a healthy lifestyle that you can both benefit from.

2. Make Pet Toys Out of Recyclable Materials Instead of going out and buying new toys for your pet, get in touch with your creative side and craft your own. Using recyclable household materials such as old tennis balls, rope and socks, you can create a myriad of toys for your pets that can keep then entertained for hours. Placing cat nip inside of paper bag can keep your pet entertained for hours!

3. Bulk Up Buy pet supplies in bulk or the largest available size. You’ll make fewer trips to the store and cut down on packaging to discard of.

4. Grow Your Own Catnip Your cat will love you for growing your own catnip! Just like humans, our pets deserve to eat the most natural, organic, and healthy foods. A green and low cost alternative to buying catnip, by growing your own your cat will be spared from pesticides or other potentially harmful chemicals or additives.

5. Adopt Looking to add another pet to the family? Then adoption is the way to go! Not only is rescuing a pet from life in a shelter a great cause, it is also a great way to help the environment. Adoption is in essence recycling a pet that was at one time unwanted and will now be given a home. An inexpensive way to become a bet owner, adoption is a great way to go green while saving green.

• Vaccinate regularly. Between 6 and 16 weeks of age, pets need a regular schedule of vaccinations.

For dogs, vaccines for distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus will likely be recommended by veterinarians; shots will typically be administered in three rounds, at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks. For cats, shots will generally include panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirus and perhaps feline leukemia, depending on your vet’s recommendations. Some of those are part of a

Helping others through fitness Biking ‘newbies’ ready to embark on first charity ride BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Wee Ling Yong doesn't have much bicycling experience, but she has plenty of drive to help others.

Yong, who was transferred from Microsoft in Singapore to the tech giant's U.S. headquarters in Redmond 18 months ago, never rode a bike before coming here. But next month, the Redmond resident will lead a team of three other women who will participate in the inaugural Ride Around the Sound, a bicycling benefit event for the American Lung Association.

"We thought it would be fun and it is for a good cause," said Yong, a 42-year-old who works in the Microsoft finance department. "Hopefully we will all still be friends afterward."

Joining Yong on team "4 Asians" will be fellow Microsofties Shau Phang, 36, and Yoshimi Kanai, 47, along with Fumiko Okuno, 38, who used to work at Microsoft, but now works at Amazon.

Yong first met Phang when they both worked at Microsoft in Singapore and the two met Kanai and Okuno, who are transplants from Microsoft in Japan, while all working together at Microsoft in Redmond.

All four of them will be participating in their first charity ride and recently got into biking and running "because the environment allows us to do that," Yong said. "It's healthier living here."

In densely populated places like Singapore and Japan there is no infrastructure and space for biking, but here in the Northwest that is a different story, Yong said. Also the hot, humid weather in Asia is not conducive to biking like the temperate weather in the Northwest, Phang added.

Kanai is the most experienced rider on the team as she recently participated in the Seattle to Portland ride in July and has plans of doing the Seattle to Vancouver, British Columbia ride and the Danskin Triathlon next summer. But Yong, Phang

From left, Fumiko Okuno, Wee Ling Yong, Yoshimi Kanai and Shau Phang will participate in next month’s Ride Around the Sound as team “4 Asians.” The women are new to bicycling and have been riding about 50 miles per week to prepare for the charity ride. Courtesy photo and Okuno just recently got new bikes in preparation for the Sept.

15 Ride Around the Sound, which features different routes around the Puget and Kitsap sounds.

They call themselves "newbies" to biking, but all four women are excited about exploring uncharted scenery while helping a good cause.

Both Okuno's and Kanai's families have a history of lung cancer so this fundraiser hits home with them. The team members also said the Ride Around the Sound is a good opportunity for learning a new sport like bicycling.

And all of them are learning about the cliche, "no pain, no gain."

"They are trying to kill me before the event," Yong said with a smile.

The team members train on the their bikes about two or three times a week, logging about 50 miles per week, according to Phang, who also lives in Redmond. They are still

learning the finer details of biking, like riding with cleats and proper gear shifting for hills and inclines.

"We don't know how to change a flat tire yet," Phang said. "That's why we have Yoshimi. I think Yoshimi knows how to do that."

The 4 Asians team will be traversing a 45-mile route that begins in Tacoma and continues through the scenic Kitsap Peninsula to the Bremerton ferry dock. From there, the team members take a ferry to Seattle and can bike or catch a shuttle to the finish line at South Seattle Community College (SSCC). The route features rest stops along the way with food and music awaiting the riders at the finish-line party at SSCC. The group's goal is to raise $500, which Microsoft will match, according to Yong.

4 Asians is one of 15 teams who will participate in the ride. So far,

Yong said her and her teammates plan to do more charity rides in the future — that is if she can finish the Ride Around the Sound.

"So we decided to do doughnuts," he said.

Downtown Redmond will soon see the opening of two businesses that will be new to the city, but not new to the Northwest.

Come September, Seattle staples Top Pot Doughnuts and Rudy's Barbershop will be opening stores in the Red 160 building on Cleveland Street. The two new businesses will be located next door to each other with Top Pot at 16015 Cleveland St. and Rudy's at 16095 Cleveland St. This will be the first Redmond location for both businesses.

"It's exciting," said Mark Klebeck, who cofounded Top Pot with his brother Michael.

Klebeck said their business had been very successful in the Seattle area and they received a fair amount of Eastside customers coming into their shops so they opened locations in Bellevue with a possible Redmond location in mind.

"It's always been on our radar," he said, adding that it was just a matter of finding the right space and situation.

The Redmond Top Pot will be the company's 12th storefront — all of which are in the Puget Sound area.

Klebeck said opening their new store alongside Rudy's, which also started in Seattle, was a good opportunity for them.

"They're a great company," he said.

Klebeck said the new Redmond location doesn't have a specific opening date yet, but it will probably in

On Rudy's role in the Redmond community, Le added, "Like all of our locations, we provide the community a shell to make it their own community center. A gathering place that will eventually, over a couple of months, days have its own identity within the Rudy's community."

This vision of a barbershop-slash-community

nity we wanted to be a part of for a long time," Le said.

The Redmond Rudy's will be the company's eighth store in Washington, with a ninth location set to open in West Seattle in January 2013. Altogether, there are 18 Rudy's locations nationwide in Western Washington, Portland, Ore., Los Angeles and New York, including the upcoming West Seattle shop and a second shop in New York.

Like Klebeck, Le said they are excited about their new Redmond neighbors as well. "(Top Pot's) priorities and culture are very similar to ours in that they invest in locations with the intent of community involvement," she said. "We're both local small business that have been successful due to the support of the communities we are in."

Both Le and Klebeck said they hope their businesses will become gathering places with regulars for the Redmond community.

"We're looking forward to hopefully being a staple for many patrons and Redmond residents," Klebeck said, adding that he hopes Top Pot, Rudy's and other new business to come will bring diversity to the downtown.

More Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students than ever scored high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark for all four subjects — English, math, reading and science.

While 25 percent of students nationally met this standard and 38 percent met it statewide, 57 percent of the students in LWSD who took the ACT qualified. That is up from 55 percent last year and continues a rising trend over the last five years, from 50 percent of students in 2008.

This achievement was accomplished despite slightly lower average scores in three of the four subject categories.

In 2011, the average ACT scores for students from LWSD rose in every category, with gains of three or four tenths of a percent in three of four categories and the composite score. In 2012, scores dipped slightly

If you’re suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you must read about a clinical study that showed…

How 85% Of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling, or Sharp Pains Numbness, tingling, and pain is an extremely annoying problem.

If You Read Nothing Else,

Read This: More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy. Read the full facts on this page.

It may come and go...interrupts your sleep...and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times.

Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

More Pills Are Not The Solution

A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

The Likely Cause Of Your Problem

My name is Dr. Justin Schallmann, owner of Back In Balance Chiropractic. I have been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems with an Upper Cervical Care procedure called NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) for over 8 years.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.

By using this gentle technique, I’m able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments.

- Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.”

– JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.”

– JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Could This Be Your Solution?

It’s time for you to find out if Upper Cervical Care will be your neuropathy solution.

“For the first 25 callers only, $29 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $250 for!”

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: These would cost you $130).

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• I’ll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how Upper Cervical Care can help.

Our Patients Say It Best…

“This was my first visit to a chiropractor; I am now pain free and have taken back the walker I had to rent. I have full mobility and the improvement to my neuropathy in my hand and feet has been amazing.”

DON’T LET NUMBNESS, TINGLING AND PAIN HOLD YOU BACK FROM ENJOYING LIFE. If you are one of The First 25 Callers, you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $29.

The normal price for this type of evaluation including x-rays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer.

Call 425-437-9974.

We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

Our office is called Back In Balance and we are located at 2761 152nd Ave NE in Redmond.

When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Justin Schallmann, D.C. P.S. Remember to call and reserve an appointment at this significant discount for The First 25 Callers. Why suffer for years in misery?

That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.

P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your arms or legs hurt – and the pain just won’t go away!
