From Velodrome to Olympic success Reed will display her silver medal in Redmond tonight Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

When Jennie Reed retired from track cycling after the Beijing 2008 Olympics, it was without an Olympic medal.

But with a number of national championships under her belt, as well as a few world-cup titles and a world-championship title, she felt she’d accomplished all she could in the sport.

So when her friend and fellow track cyclist Sarah Hammer contacted her in 2010 about a new team event being added for the London 2012 Olympics and asked her to be part of the team, the Eastside native wasn’t sure what to do.

“I was pacing around my condo thinking, ‘I thought I was done,’” Reed said about her thoughts on making a comeback.

In the end, she decided to return to track cycling after only about two years of retirement. It was the right decision as Reed, Hammer and their teammates Dotsie Bausch and Lauren Tomayo won the silver medal in the inaugural

Tonight, the Marymoor Velodrome Association (MVA) and LifeWise Health Plan of Washington will welcome Reed home and celebrate her silvermedal win with a special event at the Velodrome at Marymoor Park at 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy N.E. near Red-

mond. Reed, who is 34 and has lived in Issaquah and Kirkland, got her start in track cycling at the Velodrome at 16. Tonight, she will sign autographs, take photos, answer questions and have her silver medal on hand for fans to get an up-close look.

Reed’s appearance on Friday will also be part of the MVA’s final Friday Night Track Racing

series event of the year.

Reed’s event, the Women’s Team Pursuit, is a three-woman cycling event and Reed and the rest of the U.S. team placed second after Great Britain, the favorites to win in the event.

“The Brits were definitely a step ahead of the world,” Reed said. [ more reed page 7 ]

EZ does it: City launches new and enhanced Electronic Zoning Code Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Developing in Redmond has just become easier with the city’s new and enhanced Electronic Zoning Code, or EZ-Code.

The new product is the culmination of years of work from city staff that began in 2009 with a rewrite of Redmond’s development regulations, which was completed in

2011.

“We did that because the zoning code hadn’t had a comprehensive refreshment since the 1970s,” said Jeff Churchill, a senior planner for the City of Redmond.

Once the rewrite was adapted in April 2011, the next step was to go paperless and make the previously 900-page code accessible online. The result is a zoning code with various features that make it easy to

research specific zones, properties or uses.

“The new electronic code is tightly integrated with the city’s GIS maps and data, allowing for functionality that, to the best of the city’s knowledge, is unmatched anywhere in the nation,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione in a press release.

The new EZ-Code features direct links from properties to applicable zoning regulations, maps of zones, critical areas and

other key code provisions and pop-up definitions for various terms. Users will also be able to see where a use is allowed and link to applicable regulations, look up commercial properties for sale or lease, access user guides and more.

Churchill said one of the challenges they faced in creating the EZ-Code has been getting the different pieces of technology to [ more EZ-code page 8 ]

and individual donors like the Remaks and Finocchios are the backbone of the foundation’s fund-raising efforts.

Nancy Remak has been a LINKS lunch buddy mentor at Kirkland’s Rose Hill Elementary for 13 years. Her positive mentoring experience motivated her $20,000 donation because she wanted to give more students the opportunity to have a mentor.

The Finocchio family want-

ed a portion of Mark Finocchio’s prestigious Microsoft Technical Recognition Award, earned as part of the Kinect development team, to impact their “home community.” The Finocchios decided that by donating $25,000 to the schools foundation, they could impact their entire school district, particularly those schools that need more support.

Overlake Terrace expands annual Shave-a-Thon fund-raiser

David Standring has been organizing the Shave-a-Thon at Overlake Terrace Assisted Living and Independent Living in Redmond for four years in honor of his sister, who died from breast cancer in 2007. samantha pak, Redmond Reporter

related diseases.

“It’s an amazing organization,” Standring said.

In addition, Standring said his father died from a brain tumor and his wife’s uncle recently died after a long battle with leukemia.

He added that his wife’s uncle had always been very supportive of the Shave-a-Thon despite his personal health issues.

“It’s been a culmination of things that’s made me want to expand (the Shave-a-Thon),” Standring said.

Expansion hasn’t stopped at the beneficiary.

This year’s Shave-a-Thon will go beyond Standring and others getting their heads shaved in support of cancer research and Standring getting his legs waxed. Standring has done the latter on a yearly

basis, but doesn’t foresee himself doing it beyond the fund-raiser.

“I haven’t taken it up as a routine habit,” Standring said about the leg waxing.

This week marks the beginning of Overlake Terrace’s first-ever Mustache-a-Thon: People have about a month to vote on four different mustache styles — the sportsman, ladykiller, cop-tache and biker — and the style that gets the most votes will be the one Standring and fellow participants will sport until the Shave-a-Thon on Oct. 5. The cost of a vote is a $2 donation. The money raised from the Mustachea-Thon will go toward the final total to be donated to Fred Hutchinson.

Standring said their goal this year is to raise $2,300.

Last year’s Shave-a-Thon

songs from various decades to choose between for the Song-a-Thon, which will be decided through votes by donation.

INFECTED GUMS, LOOSE TEETH

Even though you brush and floss daily, the sticky film known as “plaque” is likely to harden into “tartar” (or “calculus”) in difficult-to-clean areas, especially along the gum line, around the back teeth, and around fillings and other dental restorations. Sticky bacteria-laden plaque can harden into tartar in a mere 26 hours. For this reason alone, it is strongly suggested that you avail yourself of a professional cleaning every six months. If tartar is allowed to accumulate, gum disease will progress from relatively mild gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums) to more serious “periodontitis.” At this stage, pockets form between teeth and gums, and tooth loss, due to damaged bone and ligaments, becomes an inevitable prospect. The goal is to stop gum disease in its tracks in the earliest stages or prevent it completely.

At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, our staff of friendly, experienced professionals can provide you with the outstanding and thorough dental services you need, whether you are visiting us for your regular six month cleaning, or for more advanced procedures such as fillings, extractions or implants. For all your dental concerns, we invite you to come see us.

Please call 425.641.4111 to schedule an appointment. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue. You will find our office to be as pleasant as it is professional each and every time you visit.

Next month, Overlake Terrace Assisted Living and Independent Living in Redmond will hold its fourth annual Shave-aThon.

The event has been an annual fund-raiser to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a foundation dedicated to funding breast cancer research and educational programs in local communities.

David Standring, personal preferences coordinator at Overlake Terrace, started the event in honor of his sister Ann Morrison, who died of breast cancer in 2007.

“She was a really good sister,” Standring said about why he wanted to honor Morrison. “She was the sister who kind of kept an eye on me.”

Morrison was diagnosed when she was 37.

She died at the age of 47.

While this year’s fundraiser will still go toward cancer research, 41-yearold Standring said they are expanding beyond breast cancer as many people have shared stories with him about their loved ones’ and their personal battles with various types of cancer — not just breast cancer.

The money raised this year will go to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, which researches prevention and treatment to further its mission to eliminate cancer and

brought in $3,412, but Standring said he lowered this year’s goal because he wasn’t sure how people would feel about the new donation recipient.

To encourage people to donate, Standring has set “mini-goals” along the road to $2,300.

If they reach $1,000, Standring will dye his hair purple to go with the ribbon color for general cancer awareness. He will sport his lavender locks until the Shave-a-Thon next month. Standring added that he will probably dye the facial hair he is growing for the Mustache-a-Thon, as well.

At the $1,750 mark, Standring will bring in a dunk tank and give people the opportunity to dunk him for a small donation.

Because Standring needed to reserve the dunk tank, he said this event will take place on Sept. 27 at Overlake Terrace.

“The final (mini-goal) would be the singing, which I’m terrified about,” Standring said.

If donations hit the $2,000 mark, he said he will sing in the Overlake Terrace dining room at lunch. People have a few

A new beginning at the Reporter As I strolled through the halls at Redmond Elementary on Wednesday, taking back-to-school photos of students and parents, I, too, got caught up in the moment of transitioning from one grade or level to another.

There were smiles when friends came into view, and maybe even a bit of trepidation about the unknown classroom lessons or situations that will sit around each corner from Day 1 until classes end nine months from now.

This is my first issue as the new editor of the Redmond Reporter. I’m all set to tackle what’s in front of me.

Although I’ve worked in the journalism business for 22 years, I know I don’t have everything figured out — and probably never will. Life just doesn’t work that way. We’re always learning and making the most of each day we’re on the job and going about our daily routines at and away from the office.

I come your way from the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter, where I was editor for five and a half years. Before that, I reported on sports and business news for the Reporter and its predecessor, the Northshore Citizen, after moving here from northern California, where I worked for seven years at the Los Altos Town Crier, near Palo Alto.

Some of you may remember me when I wrote for the Redmond Reporter in its infancy in the early 2000s. Yes, I’ve been here before and got to know a wealth of people Andy Nystrom

in the business and sports realms. I was also writing for the Bellevue and BothellKenmore reporters at the time, so I was all over the place — performing a juggling act of sorts — but I always cherished my time on the Redmond scene.

It’s good to be back on familiar terrain, and I look forward to covering city stories along with seasoned reporter Samantha Pak. It will be tough to fill departed editor Bill Christianson’s shoes, but I’ll give it a shot. After all, more than two decades in the business has got to amount to something, right?

Getting used to new deadlines is always interesting. Just to make sure I wouldn’t be stuck behind the eight ball, I worked some extra evening hours so that I’d be in good

shape come deadline day — Thursday.

As I type this column, I’m already way ahead of the game with page layout, Pak is rolling through corrections and we’re set on unleashing another top-notch issue for you to peruse.

I always appreciate the readers who take the time out of their day to follow our reportage, in print and on the Web. I was thrilled to bring the news to people 22 years ago, and I’m still excited every time someone calls to talk about a story or stops me on the street to discuss the topic of the day.

How livable will Redmond be in five years?

When City Council members visited neighborhoods during National Night Out in August, one of the most common questions neighbors asked was about downtown construction and downtown parking. I’ve spent hours searching the city website and emailing city officials trying to get a straight answer — even a simple list of construction projects, and the most Mayor Marchione’s administration can come up with is “Major Projects Under Construction, dated Sept. 30, 2011.”

Why is it so difficult to get a straight answer when “customer service” is at such a premium by the mayor? I believe the mayor is in a defensive mode with the election only two years away and he wants to minimize the severe traffic congestion issues we will be plagued with once the thousands of “sleep and eat” apartments with inadequate underground parking are installed.

Redmond is destined to be one gridlocked, “drive through” boring community unless the downtown business community can be revitalized. But delaying the twoway lane conversions at Redmond Way and Cleveland Avenue until after the election only limits predictability and business migration to our downtown.

Some council members appear to be looking the other way with interests outside of Redmond and anywhere but here. One result: we now have more than 20 “H” wayfinding hospital signs in Redmond where no hospitals exist. Council did clarify in its last meeting “we DO have a downtown park.” It’s that green patch of grass used by dog walkers, awaiting the mayor’s “Master Plan.”

Another patch will be added in a year after Marchione demolishes the Brown Building and quasi-historic Redmond Cycle. How about a water fountain for the downtown technology workers and their pets? In the meantime, neighborhood housing projects continue to develop and scar our hills. Will Redmond be drivable in five years? Livable?

Love alike and approve Referendum 74 Opponents of Referendum 74, the referendum that legalizes same-sex marriage, will soon deluge us with literature, television and radio ads that are fear-based, inaccurate and full of half-truths. They will do this in the name of “religious faith.”

It will not matter that Jesus gave us the great commandment to love one another as we have been loved by God. It will not matter that Jesus cautioned all of us not to judge

lest we be judged. It will not matter that the referendum clearly states that religious institutions do not have to perform or recognizing same-sex marriage.

It will not matter that the referendum will in no way penalize those same religious institutions for not performing or recognizing same-sex marriages. Have no doubt: you will not be presented with facts or the truth. The appeal from the opposition will be emotional fear.

What does matter is that approving Referendum 74 will honor the long-term, committed, loving relationships of couples that happen to be of the same gender. What does matter is that there are many people of faith who assert that love is stronger than fear.

What does matter is that there are many of us who are people of faith who believe we are being faithful by approving Referendum 74.

One of the founders of my faith tradition, Francis David, made the statement in 14th century Europe that I believe applies to our time and this issue: “We need not think alike to love alike.”

As a person of faith, recognizing that we do not all think alike, I ask you to join me in loving alike: vote to approve Referendum 74.

In Charlotte, Democrats present compelling case for Obama’s re-election or numbers will get you to the right answer; the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error. And as president, you’re going to get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are.”

On Wednesday night, in a nearly 50-minute address that was widely praised as one of the best speeches he has ever given, former President Bill Clinton explained why voters would be wise to give President Obama a second term.

“I want to nominate a man who’s cool on the outside, but who burns for America on the inside,” Clinton said. “I want a man who believes with no doubt that we can build a new American dream economy, driven by innovation and creativity, by education and yes, by cooperation.”

“In Tampa, the Republican argument against the president’s re-election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy,” Clinton Andrew Villeneuve

FROM THE ROOTS

This past week, Democrats from all 50 states and several territories gathered in Charlotte, N.C., for the 46th Democratic National Convention (DNC). There, delegates unanimously voted to renominate Barack Obama and Joe Biden for a second term, and approved a platform outlining the party’s beliefs. I traveled to Charlotte last Saturday to represent our state as a delegate, and have greatly enjoyed being in the middle of all of the action.

Over the course of three evenings, the Democratic Party’s best known elected leaders and activists laid out a compelling case for why Obama and Biden ought to be re-elected.

On Tuesday, delegates and guests heard from First Lady Michelle Obama, who knows the president better than anyone else and has been at his side as he has grappled with the nation’s enormous challenges.

“I have seen firsthand that being President doesn’t change who you are — no, it reveals who you are,” she said. “I’ve seen how the issues that come across a president’s desk are always the hard ones — the problems where no amount of data

added. “It went something like this: ‘We left him a total mess. He hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.’”

“No president, no president — not me, not any of my predecessors — no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years,” Clinton declared.

“Look, I love our country so much. And I know we’re coming back...

We’ve come through every fire a little stronger and a little better. And we do it because, in the end, we decide to champion the cause for which our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor, the cause of forming a more perfect union. My fellow Americans, if that is what you

want, if that is what you believe, you must vote and you must re-elect President Barack Obama.”

As of press time, neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden had delivered their acceptance speeches, but both were poised to discuss the many accomplishments of the administration’s term and lay out a plan to strengthen America over the next four years.

Contemporary political party conventions are sometimes described as pointless or unnecessary because each of the parties usually settles on a nominee months before the convention, during the nominating season.

But the conventions are where nominations become official, where platforms get discussed

and adopted, where activists hold caucuses or organizing sessions, and where rising stars get opportunities to speak before a national audience. Conventions are a chance for parties to make an impression on the electorate.

As Democrats have just proved in Charlotte, a convention can effectively be used to reframe the debate and alter the political landscape.

Judging by news coverage and social media chatter, the conversation about the choice in 2012 is much, much different than it was a week ago — and that’s thanks to the DNC. Election Day is now just under two months away. The conclusion of the Republican National

Convention and the DNC marks the end of the summer political season and the beginning of autumn.

We are now entering the home stretch. And in a few weeks, it will be time for us to vote and decide what kind of future we want for America. I’ll be voting for President Obama because I want a Commander-in-Chief who believes that we don’t inherit this great country of ours from our ancestors, but rather, borrow it from our children.

Columnist has a myopic view of the Republican National Convention It’s been a while since I’ve commented on Andrew Villeneuve’s column, mainly because he hasn’t offended me or other conservatives in the Redmond Reporter coverage area. That came to a screeching halt with his column in the Aug. 31 edition.

“They speedily wiped out the surplus President Clinton had left them.”

Really! Does your childhood brain remember “9-11” and the war we waged on

Volunteers will begin work on Stratford Village woods Sept. 13

terrorism. That was an expensive proposition, but well worth it, in my opinion. The “multiple tax cuts”, were to the benefit of the middle- and low-income classes, encouraging spending to help get the economy back on track. What was your alternative, “tax the rich.” Yeah, that works.

I could go on and on about your myopic view of the Republican National Convention, but why? It would only go over your head like every other dose of reality-based thinking. Gee, let’s see, stimulus spending to Solyndra, and for oil drilling in Brazil.

What a fiasco the whole stimulus package was!

Political parties have much in common I read with interest that the Aug. 31 Redmond Reporter only reported an obvious negative opinion of the 2012 Republican National Convention. Will the Redmond Reporter post an equally blistering fullpage article denouncing the 2012 Democratic National Convention?

Though I disagree with his assertions,

habitat for fish and wildlife within the boundaries of our urban areas,” said King County grant exchange coordinator Ken Pritchard. “We’re also fostering community stewardship through these important citizen-led projects, which offers an additional and lasting benefit to the community.”

The restoration project includes removing invasive vegetation and litter, planting native shrubs and trees, installing a walking trail and cleaning up Happy Creek — the stream that flows through the woods.

Hate Gyms?

So do we!

I respect Mr. Villeneuve’s opinion and his willingness to be engaged in our political process. What I find disconcerting is the lack of academic rigor necessary to make allegations against either party. Both parties have engaged in finger pointing and poor financial decisions. Let both parties acknowledge their failures and work on solutions from this point forward.

In the meantime, apply the standard of responsible research and coverage that not only support one’s assertions but explores arguments that do not support one’s position. When we look at differing positions, with an open mind, we often find that we have much in common.

Timothy C. Morris Redmond

Volunteer leaders already see this project reinvigorating the 30-year-old Stratford Village neighborhood located in the Grass Lawn community.

City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione added, “Redmond’s longterm growth plan includes preserving a system of interconnected open spaces providing habitat for a variety of wildlife throughout the city and this project is a perfect example of that plan in action. On a personal level, I have wonderful childhood memories of playing in this woods and finding

frogs in Happy Creek. I’m glad to know that new generations of children will have the same opportunity.”

The Adopt A Stream Foundation is providing hands-on help with invasive plant removal and technical guidance on environmental restoration and native species planting. Their work will begin on Sept. 13 and an official groundbreaking ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Sept. 15.

Redmond police nab ‘Movie Bandits’ for more than 60 crimes

CRIME

This week’s…

alert

Police Blotter The police blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical roundup of all calls to the Redmond Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. 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.

“Movie Bandits” by police as their crimes consisted of breaking into vehicles in public parking lots such as movie theaters or shopping centers. The suspects would then steal the vehicle registration and other valuables in the car and then proceed to the victims’ residences,

knowing they weren’t home.

The capture came in Bothell when RPD went to arrest the female suspect for rendering criminal assistance and were met by a fleeing male, who was then captured by Redmond police dog Vader.

It is believed the two sus-

pects account for at least 27 residential burglaries, four commercial burglaries, 17 vehicle prowls, four attempted burglaries, eight stolen vehicles and one account of fraud — and those numbers continue to grow.

RPD first warned residents about these

crimes in April, and since March, several agencies have assisted in investigating these individuals, including Bellevue, Brier, Edmonds, Everett, Kirkland, Lynnwood, Marysville, Medina, Mountlake Terrace, Mount Vernon, Mukilteo, Shoreline and Wenatchee police depart-

ments, as well as the Snohomish and King county sheriffs’ offices.

RPD has been processing evidence and contacting known victims to receive their property. For information, visit: www. redmond.gov/PublicSafe ty/Police/property.

She said while she and her teammates are very competitive, they knew something drastic would need to happen in order for them to win gold — especially since they were competing against countries such as Great Britain, Canada (who won bronze) and Australia, where the cycling programs are a lot stronger.

“Everyone was just so excited that we (made it to the finals). I mean, that was our gold medal right there,” Reed said. “We won in our minds.”

In addition to honoring Reed, tonight’s event will also raise money for the MVA Youth Cycling Program. Doors open at 6 p.m. and entry is $5. Children younger than 12 are free. Additional donations will be collected to meet Reed and for autographs.

All proceeds will go to the MVA Youth Cycling Program.

“An increase in community awareness will help the future success of the MVA education and racing programs,” Williams said. “I also hope that Jennie’s success will spark the desire of one of our current young racers to become the future Olympian from Marymoor.”

Reed, a three-time Olympian who competed in Athens in 2004 in addition to Beijing and London, has the same hopes.

She said she would like to inspire more people to try track cycling, especially young girls. Reed would also like to use the experience and knowledge she’s gained in the last 15 years to inspire people to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

“I have partnered with LifeWise Health Care of Washington and through social media have shared health tips and inspirational messages through my video blog,” Reed said.

This may be the case, but Redmond City Council member Kim Allen said the result has exceeded her expectations for the new zoning code.

“Combining these features is what makes it unique,” she said.

Allen, who joined the City of Redmond’s Planning Commission in the early 2000s and was the council lead on the code rewrite, is a land-use attorney and said after looking at various jurisdictions’ zoning codes, she realized Redmond’s code “could use some work.”

she said.

While Allen is happy with EZ-Code, Churchill said they’re not done with it yet.

“There are some features we are still working on for the future,” he said.

Some of these features include optimizing the EZ-Code for tablets, although it is already accessible. Churchill said they also want to add structure information and active and past permit history to the list of things users will be able to access with just a click of a button. “(EZ-Code) makes lot more information available to (the community) at their fingertips,” he said. “People can answer a lot of the more basic questions themselves.”

Redmond Planning Director Rob Odle said this was exactly what they wanted with the new code.

He said the former code was almost impossible to sort through without the help of a developer or land-use attorney.

“That’s not what we want,” Odle said. “That’s not the customer service we want. That’s not the transparency we want.”

He added that now that the code is online, it can be accessed from anywhere and prospective developers and businesses could view properties and sites without having to visit in person.

region,” said Executive Constantine.

In all, 130 nominations were received from 42 Award Partners — chambers of commerce, cities and business organizations across the county.

When sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial touted more than half-off deals on a variety of products, customers were thrilled and businesses were excited for the new way to get people in the door.

• Make sure your child has enough sleep, try to make a calm and happy ritual of going to bed and getting up in the morning and keep bedtimes consistent. The recommended amounts per 24 hours are 11 to 13 hours for 3-5 year olds and 10 to 11 hours for 5-12 year olds.

• Provide a nutritious breakfast for your child.

• Leave enough time for your child to dress him/ herself.

• Let the ride to school be child centered. Turn off the radio news; avoid talking on the phone; sing songs and don’t worry about voice quality; talk about what you see on the way. Count red cars, count trucks, etc.

• Aim to arrive at school on time. Coming into the classroom late

and missing the initial socialization makes it difficult for your child to settle, as well as being disruptive for the other children in the room.

• Let the teacher know if your child may be reacting to an unusual or adverse situation — lack of sleep, moving house, parent out of town, parent sick, a relative staying, etc.

• Be reliable. Let your child know if you will be late picking him/her up.

Never say you’ll be “right back” if you won’t.

Waste Management golf tourney raises $500,000 for charities Lake Washington Schools Foundation, Hopelink and Mountains to Sound Greenway benefit from donations The Waste Management 2012 Charity Golf Tournament, which was held Wednesday and Thursday at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge, drew more than 160

More money was raised this year than any other golf tournament in Waste Management’s history.

“This year’s event was an outstanding success,” said Mary Evans, Waste Management’s area public sector director. “Being chosen as this year’s location for the Waste Management Charity Golf Tournament was a wonderful opportunity to host our vendor partners, corporate senior leadership and elected officials while giving back to local organizations that do incredible work throughout

our communities in King County.”

The three recipient organizations will benefit from Waste Management’s donations in the following ways:

Taking the Fight Statewide

Harper started SnoValley Harvest through her yearlong position as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer last November, giving her time to interest volunteers and farms in participating before the harvest season began. She belongs to a group of VISTAs in Washington state known as Harvest Against Hunger, a project developed and managed by Rotary First Harvest in Seattle.

“A lot of my work so far has been volunteer recruitment,” she said, which includes explaining the work and the need to individuals and groups around the community.

So far, over 70 volunteers have contributed to harvesting and recruitment is always ongoing.

“Approaching farmers has been tricky because

they’re so incredibly busy,” Harper said.

She added that she’s met many of them through attending local tilth meetings, introducing herself to them at farmers markets, or even approaching them while they’re working on their farm.

“Most of the farmers are really on board with what we’re doing,” she added.

“They have worked really hard to produce this food and they really want to see it go to someone. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.”

Although her position is new, in the past three years Rotary First Harvest has established similar positions throughout the state, which allows Harper to focus on her specific area.

“This year there’s 11 of us, all working to make connections between growers, food banks and volunteers,” Harper said.

When her position ends with the harvest season in November, Sno-Valley Harvest will continue — at first through other AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, with the goal that it becomes

Harper’s initial interest in working with food banks blossomed while she was studying at Bastyr. During a project in a class on communities and nutrition, she chose to develop a nutrition program for the homeless population in Seattle and King County.

“That was the first time I went to a food bank,” she said. “I was disappointed in the lack of variety that I saw there. Everywhere you turn in Seattle there’s an amazing variety of locally grown fresh food. Yet, a major food resource for low-income populations seemed almost absent in fresh veggies.”

Harper graduated in 2010 with a master of science in nutrition with a focus on research and she quickly discovered that a community-based approach to improving nutrition was her passion, which led her to AmeriCorps.

“I love this area and

populations.

“One of the coolest aspects of this is how fresh the food is when it gets to people,” said Harper, who estimates that the food they glean is typically on its way to a family’s home within two to four days.

661297

Master’s nutrition graduate Lisa Harper is helping small to medium-sized farms harvest extra produce for communities in need.

Through Sno-Valley Harvest, a new program based at Hopelink, Bastyr University alumna Harper has so far organized the harvest, collection and distribution of more than 6,507 pounds of fresh, organic produce that has ended up in area food banks instead of as waste.

“We always have a lot of extra produce, but we don’t have time to harvest it,” said Siri Erickson-Brown, who owns Local Roots Farm with her husband, Jason Salvo. “This is really a great program.”

On a recent morning, Harper organized a small group of volunteers to harvest some of Local Roots’ extra produce, which is also known as “gleaning.”

Harper and Salvo showed volunteers which stalks of lacinato kale they should pick to allow the plant to continue producing and they also picked out the turnips that were too large for selling at farmers markets.

“When a farmer harvests a plot of land, they take the prettiest of what’s there to sell at the market, but the remaining food is still just as tasty and nutritious,” Harper said. She organizes these gleaning events at seven small to mid-sized farms in the Snoqualmie Valley, but that number is growing.

With help from Hopelink, a North and East King County social services provider in Redmond with five food bank locations, the freshly picked produce is then delivered to 10 organizations that serve nearby low-income and elderly

I love working with the farmers,” she said. When her service ends in November, she hopes to continue working on farm-to-table initiatives.

“I love to hear about new programs that focus on getting fresh food to people,” Harper said. “My current job is evidence that there’s growing awareness for improving food resources, but there’s a lot more work to do.”

Redmond Select girls basketball holding open gyms, tryouts

Redmond Select will soon be hosting tryouts for girls entering grades 5-8 to develop skills and play basketball in a competitive environment.

Tryouts will be held on Sept.

24 in the Redmond High gym, with fifth- and sixth- grades going from 6-7:30 p.m. and seventh- and eighth-grades from 7:30-9 p.m.

Participants are asked to arrive 30 minutes early to register.

Open gyms will also be held prior to tryouts from 6-7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, starting on Sept 10.

In addition, Redmond Select is looking for experienced coaches to lead the program’s fifth- and eighth-grade girls teams. Interested parties should contact Kevin Leuning at (206) 799-0025 or by email at kleuning@gmail.com.

Redmond Select is a participant, with other area select programs, in the Puget Sound Travel League and a development program for competitive girls basketball.

Players must live within Lake Washington School District’s Redmond High boundaries.

For more information regarding tryouts, contact Kelli Egberg at jkegberg@ comcast.net.

Redmond girls soccer players are ready to roll 20 Mustangs on the roster, plenty of talent on tap Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

After logging his daytime hours as an information-technology manager at The Boeing Company, Patrick Scheibe heads to his other job as coach of the Redmond High girls soccer team.

He wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s been with Redmond High for 18 years, and with Boeing for the same amount of time — the two go hand in hand.

“This is my reward at the end of the hard work day. I come out and hang out with the kids and work with them and coach. I meet a bunch of really neat kids,” said Scheibe, who will also be notching his 18th year of coaching the Mustangs’ boys team this spring.

Last season, the Mustangs sported an 8-7-3 overall record and lost to Eastlake, 2-1, in a shootout in the 4A Kingco consolation finals — one win short of a state berth. Kelsey Costello, now a junior, tied the game at 1-1 in the 70th minute with a 12-yard shot from the right side.

It was one of Redmond’s best showings in the last few years, said senior captain and forward Andrea Larson, adding that the Mustangs are “going to really need to step it up and show everyone we can move on in Kingco” again. The team carried five freshmen last year, and this season has another mixture of all classes, including more than half of its starting 11 from 2011.

Added captain Kristin

Redmond High captains Kristin Hayman, left, and Andrea Larson are two of a wealth of Mustang returners this year. andy nystrom, Redmond Reporter Hayman, a senior midfielder and University of Notre Dame signee: “As far as last year goes, people maybe didn’t have the highest of expectations. So for me, that just kind of shows that every year all the teams come in and how they do really just depends on the work they put into it as opposed to maybe the talent that they get right at tryouts.”

“It’s fun to blend a bunch of different years and age groups in,” Scheibe said. “That’s my favorite thing about coaching sometimes, too, is that opportunity to figure out what hand you’re dealt with.”

Hayman and Kennedy Kieneker, a sophomore midfielder, were first-team all-Kingco selections last season.

Sierra Bilginer, a junior forward, was a secondteamer and the Mustangs had several honorable

“She’s not trying to be (flashy), she’s trying to do all the hard work, the real skill that you like to see your captains do.”

Coach Patrick Scheibe on senior captain Kristin Hayman

mentions. Both Hayman and Bilginer are hot from the start with two goals each in Redmond’s season-opening, 4-0 victory over Glacier Peak on Tuesday at home.

Scheibe noted that Hayman is a solid technical player, has a fierce shot and makes the players around her better.

“She’s not trying to be (flashy), she’s trying to do all the hard work, the real skill that you like to see your captains do,” the coach said.

The Mustangs’ other first-teamer, Kieneker, anchored the defense last year as a freshman with her tough and tech-

nical play, Scheibe said.

This year, he’ll challenge Kieneker by moving her up to central midfield to join the offensive attack. “(She got) a big grin on her face when I told her that was my plan for her,” Scheibe said.

“The kids that are really established, I always like to add a new layer to them.”

While the talent is there, friendships are also crucial in making the team gel on and off the field, Larson said.

After the team had a sleepover last year, the Mustangs got to know each other as girls first and then teammates — and success followed.

“So this year, we’ve been trying to do that,” she said. “Everyone from last year who was really young has grown a year and improved by a year, so I expect to improve from last year where we already did really well.”

In true leadership form, Hayman noted that while she was honored to make the all-Kingco first team last year, she’s excited for her teammates to make an impact and receive allstar honors this season, as well.

And plenty of Mustangs are up for the challenge.

“One of the great things is we have a deep bench with 20 people on the roster,” Hayman said.

“So not only will that make it more competitive in training and more competitive for time on the field, but you just have that much more talent and that much more versatility. So that should definitely work in our favor.”

Redmond will next travel to Interlake for a 7:30 p.m. match on Saturday. On Tuesday, the Mustangs will host Bonney Lake at 7:30 p.m.

Tristen Wastell, a senior at The Overlake School and Life Scout launched his Eagle Project this summer, installing a bench and a path at Woodinville Montessori School to provide a safe way for students to travel from the main building to the new two-story building at the North Creek campus in Bothell.

Wastell, a Woodinville Montessori student from preschool through eighth grade, joined scouting in first grade as a member of Pack 552 and crossed over to Boy Scout Troop 909 in March 2006.

It took the efforts of more than 17 volunteers and two work parties to remove 47 azaleas, clear and level a 4-foot by 90-foot area for the path, construct and secure wood edging, and finally lay and compact four yards of crushed rock. Thanks to materials donations from Lowes and McLendons, the bench will be built and installed in September.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Actual ClearChoice Patient

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.

Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now!

SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.”

- Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient

Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...
