Redmond High School symphony will perform at famous New York venue in March Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Carnegie Hall: One of the most prestigious concert venues in the world. Classical and popular musicians alike strive for the opportunity to perform on its famous stage, and this spring a group of young musicians from Redmond will do just that.

On March 31, 2013, members of the Redmond High School (RHS) Mustang Symphony program will take the stage to play a 40-minute set in the world-renowned hall in New York.

“I think it’s a really big honor,” said senior Lydia Hsu. “It’s really cool to tell your friends, ‘I’m going to Carnegie Hall.’”

The violinist is one of 65 students making the trip and while she’s excited for the opportunity, she admits she is a bit nervous, as well.

Junior and violist Riley Harris is eager for the chance to play Carnegie Hall, as well, but tries not to think about it.

He said he wants to pace himself and savor the excitement till March.

“In a word, I would call it surreal,” he said.

A PROACTIVE DIRECTOR

The opportunity for the musical Mustangs to play the famous stage comes from RHS orchestra director Paula C. Ferguson, who submitted a video of the group performing three pieces last spring to MidAmerica Productions (MAP) — an organization that provides individuals the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall as part of a combined orchestra and ensembles to perform their own sets.

White Gold

Ski FREE

Digging British Columbia’s legendary mother lode.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is filled by what you see: mountains on every horizon— rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts.

Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky.

Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defies description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because finding it brings a fortune in fun.

You’ll know that after your first run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one?

Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering.

Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and offpiste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt.

Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also find friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food.

Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that first turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold.

Glimpse into the life of a reporter

Andy Nystrom

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

Normally, I’m a pretty quiet guy when it comes to discussing my job outside of the work place.

I’ve been in the journalism business for 20-plus years, and while there’s always something interesting happening at the paper, my usual outlook is to get the job done and move on to the many other aspects of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate each day on the job to the fullest, and I always have ever since that first day at the Los Altos Town Crier as an entertainment section editor.

However, since I’ve been editor of the Redmond Reporter, I’ve been talking about my job more than usual. Maybe it’s because I’ve been here just three months and it’s natural for someone to share something new in their life with others. Or maybe it’s because the things I’ve dealt with in the new job have affected me more than the other newspaper gigs.

There have been uplifting stories to cover like a team winning a state title. I got a taste of the schools scene when talking to parents about overcrowding at their childrens’ school. Gun control was another issue I spoke about with a mother whose daughter was accidentally killed at a party.

I felt out of place and a bit nervous while speaking with a cross-country runner who suffered a gash

on her leg while falling during a run and developed flesh-eating bacteria. Covering a 12-year-old boy’s funeral was the toughest story.

These are the things we do as journalists. We get briefly involved in others’ lives. It’s weird and uncomfortable at times, but it also helps us grow as people and learn new things each day. There are some times I don’t like covering certain stories, but we’ve got to be there. It’s our job.

So, when I took a stack of papers to my aunt and

Reflect on your life, lend a hand during the holidays As the holiday season approaches, it only further reflects the ideals that our society has brought upon us this festive time of the year.

Take a stroll around the mall and you will see shop windows adorned with colorful garlands and bells, but incomplete without the advertisement of “mind-blowing” sales and “the perfect gifts for your loved ones.” Although admittedly, there would be a significant amount of tradition lost with the removal of this materialism, as an adolescent, sometimes I find myself questioning the need behind this commercialism.

Come back to school the week after Christmas break and you’ll hear kids boasting about their especially large haul of presents for the year, or that one particular standout video game or jacket that they received.

When a parent or anyone for that matter takes the time to pick out a present that they know the receiver will enjoy, there is an obvious degree of thought that goes into this. It seems like over the years, however, a large amount of this appreciation has been lost — with kids no longer carefully peeling the wrapping paper of their presents and reading the cards but rather a

more hasty “here’s a $50 gift card” type of exchange.

In the midst of all this, the positive thing is that our society is still able to adhere to the idea of this time of the year being the “giving season,” with winter being the peak of gift exchanges, food and coat drives and an overall overwhelming show of generosity and care to those in need. Christmas caroling at nursing homes and orphanages, helping out at soup kitchens and volunteering at various other community outreach places are other examples.

Although glittering lights, gift giving and sweet treats are arguably the biggest part of what makes up this time of the year, this appreciation and generosity is perhaps the most important aspect of the holiday season. I highly encourage you to reflect on your life and what you can do to help those around you this holiday season — even the simplest gift of a smile can work wonders.

OPINION

[4] November 30, 2012

Christina Dias is a 14-year-old Redmond resident who is a poet and blogger. Her blog, Merry Go Round, can be found at christinamerry-go-round.blogspot.com.

uncle’s home in Gresham, Ore., over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit with them and my parents, I opened up more than ever and shared some of the moments of my job here in Redmond.

We discussed the easy stories to cover and the hard ones. As I leafed through the pages of the Redmond Reporter, I relived those moments, often shaking my head at what it took to bring these stories to life.

I’m ready for what’s next.

Organizations aid homeless veterans (In response to the ‘Who is the man on the corner?’ letters from Nov. 9 and 16.) As a 26-year USAF (United States Air Force) veteran, I cringe at the fact that the words homeless and veteran must be used together so often.

I understand that about 25 percent of the homeless on the street today are veterans. While the easy response may be just to dismiss them as panhandlers, another response that I prefer is to make them aware of and connect them with the wide variety of services available to veterans here in King County.

The King County Veterans Information and Assistance Call Center (1-877-904VETS (8387)) can connect veterans in need with assistance of all kinds. The problem of veteran homelessness and joblessness is becoming much more widely understood and many organizations are stepping up to meet the needs. At the national level, our first and second ladies have initiated “Joining Forces” (JoiningForces.gov). Dr. Jill Biden states, “It is our sacred duty to honor the service of those who sacrifice for our country – and we can all play a role with a simple act of service.”

Locally, a variety of organizations and individuals are reaching out to address veteran homeless. Among those, as mentioned by letter writer Clare Moe, are Imagine Housing and Congregations for the Homeless, as well as many civic and religious organizations.

I for one will continue to do my part to eliminate the need to use the term “homeless veteran.” I encourage us, as citizens blessed to live in the land of the free because of the brave, not to resort to cynicism to excuse us from being part of the solution.

Election renews faith The outcome of this election has renewed my faith in America. The demographics of the country are changing rapidly and because of this both the public and private sectors are going to have to recognize that policies must take into account the needs and aspirations of all groups.

I am very concerned that the Republicans are taking the wrong lessons from the fact that they were able to hold on the House, ignoring once again the concerns the public is expressing about the need to make decisions based on what is good for the country.

For them to have signed a pledge not to raise taxes on the very wealthy is proof positive that they are not working in the best interest of the people but for the interest of those who have financed their campaigns.

Finally, I hope the media has learned a lesson from this election. They have the greatest responsibility of all to see to it that the public in fact has access to facts and not propaganda.

Local organizations help to provide shelter for the homeless also open the same hours and days of the week.

The men’s shelter is open through March 15, 2013 and the women’s shelter is currently open through the end of February, but Leuzzi said they have recently received funds from United Way of King County that would allow them to stay open longer, but they’re not sure for how long or where the final location will be.

“Our goal is to hit April,” she said about how long they want to stay open.

Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

A NATURAL PROGRESSION

Cara Scriven, the pastor at RUMC, said this has not been the church’s first time hosting a homeless shelter. They have worked with Congregations for the Homeless (CFH), as well as Redmond-based youth services organization Friends of Youth (FOY) to host their respective shelters.

“We’d already had that contact (with organizations serving the homeless),” Scriven said. “It was natural for us to open our doors to the emergency shelter.”

She said her congregation has responded very well to the idea of hosting the winter shelter, adding that members have donated dinners, towels and more to the guests.

BACKUP OPTION

Pastor Cara Scriven stands in the basement of the Redmond United Methodist Church, which transforms into a homeless shelter for various guests at night. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter “I think it’s the community’s job — and definitely the church’s job — to help those struggling to make ends meet,” Scriven said.

MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, MULTIPLE SHELTERS

The shelter is run by The Sophia Way, a Bellevue-based nonprofit whose mission is to help end homelessness for women in east King County by providing shelter, life skills training, social services and supportive permanent housing, according to its website. In addition to the emergency shelter, Sophia Way also runs

Sophia’s Place, a permanent women’s shelter set to open next week in a new space at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church at 3030 Bellevue Way N.E. in Bellevue.

Executive Director Helen Leuzzi said their winter shelter — which is open to women and children 17 and younger — is “really critical” for the homeless during this time of the year as the cold could be “life threatening.”

There is also an Eastside men’s winter shelter run by CFH. This shelter is at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church at 17222 N.E. 8th St. in Bellevue and is open to patrons from 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., seven days a week. The women’s shelter is

Although the winter shelter is leaving Redmond for a couple months, the city is also home to FOY’s emergency shelter for young adults ages 18-24, the Landing. The shelter is located at the Together Center at 16225 N.E. 87th St. in downtown.

FOY President and CEO Terry Pottmeyer said the Landing is open to young men and women and has room for 15 guests, but with the cold weather, they have had a regular overflow since October. She said the winter shelters came just at the right time as they have been able to send guests to the other shelters when needed.

“We found the winter shelters, in particular the men’s shelter, (have been) a lifesaver,” she said.

Pottmeyer said for most of their guests, the winter shelters are a second choice because they can be among their peers at the Landing, whereas the winter shelters often have more older adults. However, sometimes shelter and safety take priority.

It’s never fun to brave the cold, wet nights of a Pacific Northwest winter, but while most people are able to retire indoors at the end of the evening, others are not so lucky.

For the homeless community, finding a place to stay warm and dry for the night during the winter months is often a matter of survival. To help improve the chances of survival within the community, a number of local organizations have teamed up to operate emergency winter shelters on the Eastside.

For the month of November, the Redmond United Methodist Church (RUMC) at 16540 N.E. 80th St. in downtown, has opened its doors to house a winter shelter for women and children. Tonight is the shelter’s final night in Redmond as it will be at the Bellevue First Congregational Church at 752 108th Ave. N.E. in Bellevue for the next two months. The shelter will return to RUMC in February 2013.

For most people, the holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer, but few consider that the holiday season can bring an increased risk of home fires.

According to the Redmond Fire

The City of Redmond Arts Commission (RAC) seeks two youth advocates between the ages of 16 and 26 who live or work within Redmond city limits to join the commission during the 2012-13 school year. The deadline is rolling and vacancies

are open until filled.

Youth advocates attend the Arts Commission meetings on the second Thursday of each month at 7p.m. at Redmond City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St. and also may work on commission projects of interest to them. The positions are non-voting and advisory.

“The role of the youth advocates is to give input to the commission on programming and art aimed at the youth community,” stated Joshua Heim, arts administrator.

“The advocates communicate to Redmond youth about the actions and programs of the RAC and serve as catalysts for input.”

The role of the arts commission is to work to achieve excellence in arts programming; nurture and support artists, arts organizations and arts education and promote attendance at arts events. The commission also makes recommendations to the mayor and City Council regarding art acquisitions, programs, projects and events.

Eligible candidates are invited to submit their application materials by mail to Joshua Heim, Arts Administrator, MS: 4NPK, P.O. Box 97010, Redmond WA, 98073-9710.

Music and art will highlight Redmond’s centennial celebrations Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

The City of Redmond officially turns 100 on Dec. 31, but Mayor John Marchione, city officials, businesses and community members have been doing various things and holding various events and activities all year to mark the occasion.

And with the yearlong celebration quickly coming to an end, the local arts community has also joined in the festivities.

On Sunday, the Eastside Symphony will be performing a nine-minute piece entitled “Redmond Overture” during its annual holiday concert.

The song — composed by the symphony’s principal tuba player, Jeffrey Taylor — is one of several songs the group will perform beginning at 3 p.m. at the Redmond Performing Arts Center at 17272 N.E. 104th St. The concert is free and doors open at 2:30 p.m.

“It’s a great way for us to give back to the community,” Eastside Symphony Vice President Valentina Giovannetti said about the concert.

She added that the song is also their way of saying, “Thank you” to the city for the

A COMPLEX SONG FOR A COMPLEX CITY

For the musically inclined, the Redmond Chorale will also perform a centennial song this weekend. They will perform at the Centennial Celebration Saturday afternoon at City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St.

“I think a lot of people don’t know Redmond’s history,” she said.

Perry describes “Sailing on the Dew” as having “an oldfashioned style” and reminds her of the folk songs the chorale sang for a recent concert.

Despite the old-fashioned feel, she said the song also mentions present day and the future.

“I like it because it’s nice, simple harmonies,” Perry said but added that the song becomes more complex as it progresses.

She said this reflects the City of Redmond, itself: There may not seem like a lot going on in town, but the community is very diverse and has a lot happening under the surface.

A VISUAL CONNECTION

Jeffrey Taylor composed “Redmond Overture,” which the Eastside Symphony will perform in a concert on Sunday. Courtesy photo “Sailing on the Dew” is the first original song written by chorale director Laurie Betts Hughes, who was commissioned by the City of Redmond.

Choir member Jennie Perry said the song focuses on a steamboat called Jennie June, which brought many people to the area during Redmond’s early days. Perry added that through this one song, she has learned a lot about the city’s

history as Hughes did a lot of research about the city’s past and incorporated it into the song. Before this, Perry admitted that she wasn’t aware of a lot of these things — and many people are probably in the same position.

VALA Eastside (Venues for Artists in the Local Area), a nonprofit arts organization in Redmond committed to connecting artists to artists, artists to the community and the community to art, is showing its Redmond Centennial Collection through Jan. 25, 2013 at the VALA Gallery at 7525 166th Ave. N.E. in Redmond Town Center.

The gallery, which is sponsored by the town center and sanctioned by the Redmond centennial planning commit-

tee, will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to the public.

Jessica Lambert, founder and director of VALA, said they put out a call for artists to create a visual representation of their connection to Redmond — whether they live here, work here or have just visited.

“We ended up having 22 artists that were juried into the collection,” she said.

Lambert added that as VALA is a Redmond-based organization and part of its mission is to have more visual artists show their work in Redmond, some artists submitted their work to the collection because they’d never shown in Redmond and this was an opportunity for them to do so.

A number of artists produced two pieces for a total of 40 in the entire Centennial Collection.

The collection opened at the organization’s gallery with a special event Thursday evening, during which three entries received awards. The names were announced after the Reporter’s deadline.

Lambert said the collection features a bit of everything, from Redmond-specific pieces featuring historical photos of the city to more abstract pieces.

AN OVERTURE FOR REDMOND

support Eastside Symphony has received throughout the years, including occasional grant money.

Taylor wrote “Redmond Overture” after symphony conductor Alexei Girsh approached him about writing something for Redmond’s centennial. Taylor, a Seattle resident who plays for several orchestras, said he loves the Eastside Symphony and as the group is based in Redmond, this was his way of giving back to the city.

It took Taylor three to four weeks to write “Redmond Overture” and another few months orchestrating it, rehearsing it with the group and making adjustments where needed. And despite all the work that has gone into it so far, he said he is looking forward to Sunday when they will perform the song.

“It’s always a reward when you finally present your piece to the public,” Taylor said.

Santa is coming to town

A section of the proposed 19.2 acres stretches from Woodinville to Redmond Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

After nearly a decade of work, King County is getting ready to finalize its purchase of about 19.2 acres on the Eastside Rail Corridor — the former Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line — on Dec. 10.

The proposed land to be purchased stretches from Renton to Woodinville and from Woodinville to Redmond and is currently owned by the Port of Seattle.

King County Council Vice Chair Jane Hague said this is a historic opportunity for them, as once the sale goes through, the whole of the corridor will be under public ownership.

“We’re excited to see all of this land secured,” she said.

Portions of the rest of the Eastside Rail Corridor are owned by the cities of Redmond and Kirkland, Sound Transit and Puget Sound Energy (PSE).

“It’s very complex with how it fits together,” Hague said about the multiple owners.

Along with acquiring the land, the three proposed ordinances authorizing the county’s purchase would also authorize an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Redmond to coordinate future development for recreational trail and transit uses for the portions of the corridor within city limits.

The ordinances would also authorize an agreement with PSE to coordinate future use of utilities.

Hague said the uses for the soon-to-be purchased land include trails and passenger rail, adding that with the corridor under public ownership, they will have the ability to connect with trails in the

other jurisdictions.

“It’s a wonderful amenity and quality-of-life issue,” she said about providing this for the community.

The total cost of the 19.2 acres to King County is about $15 million and Hague said they have already paid the Port of Seattle $1.9 million.

The county has two years to come up with a funding solution to pay of the remaining money.

Hague said the county is looking into various federal and state grants to help pay for the purchase, adding that the Puget Sound Regional Council has made $1.4 million available to them.

Once the purchase is finalized, the county will put together an advisory group of the corridor’s stakeholders to discuss the corridor’s future.

“There will be, probably in the next six months, a great opportunity to weigh in on how this corridor will be developed,” Hague said.

For those wanting to comment on this purchase, the King County Council will hold a public hearing on Monday to take testimony from the community. The hearing will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the King County Courthouse, at 516 Third Ave. in Seattle, in Room 1001.

“We would love to have people interested in the corridor show up, whether they support it or not,” Hague said.

Copies of the proposed ordinances are available upon request from the Clerk of the King County Council, Room 1200, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 or by phone at (206) 296-1020. The ordinances are also available online at kingcounty.gov/ council/clerk.aspx.

NHS members posted signs and placed bins near all the classroom doors and then collected the donations each day and delivered the food to Hopelink’s food bank in Redmond. The students also organized a “Trick-orCanning” event on the Sunday before Halloween. Many upper-school students went Trick-or-Canning on Halloween night, as well, accepting cans of food instead of candy.

In addition, students collected donations from shoppers at QFC on Redmond Ridge. To encourage donations, the NHS also sponsored a contest to see which class could bring in the most cans per capita.

“I am very passionate about helping others when it comes to finding food to fit their dietary needs and was excited to pursue this passion upon being hired,” Markley said.

“It is very rewarding working here by helping others find food to fit their dietary needs because I understand the difficulty trying to find a place to eat — let alone dessert—to fit my dietary needs.”

everyone,” Markley said.

“Gluten-free and vegan and omnivore customers, they all love our food!”

Some of the most popular items include banana bread muffins, pecan cinnamon rolls and the lasagna that sells out every day.

In the time since it opened in Redmond, Flying Apron has become more and more successful with sales and community involvement, according to Firestone.

“We really want to go beyond just the gluten-free and vegan community and reach out to the greater Redmond area,” she said.

Further information about upcoming events can be found on the bakery’s website at www.flyingapron.com.

nice, friendly atmosphere where people can go hang out, feel comfortable and enjoy themselves,” Silva said.

Every Thursday night there are free live performances by local musicians. A junior artist board features works of art by local artists and kids.

“We’re hoping that by providing these community events we can bring in more business and be a resource for our customers and the greater Redmond area,” Firestone said.

Flying Apron is also beginning a directory for vegan or gluten-free eaters to find further nutritional information and helpful resources about their dietary restrictions.

“Flying Apron is very unique to this area,” Markley said. “I find many grocery store products are marked gluten-free or vegan, but it can be difficult to find something that is both, so coming to Flying Apron I know I can eat everything.”

But the bakery’s products aren’t only for people with special dietary restrictions.

The savory foods, sweets and espresso drinks are enjoyed by every style of eater.

“Gluten-free aside, it’s a bakery,” Silva said. “We always have someone on staff to develop new products and update recipes to make everything taste more mainstream.”

Firestone said that many customers are non-vegan and have no gluten problems, but they can enjoy and prefer Flying Apron’s products to other baked goods because of the taste and high-quality ingredients.

“My vision is that we can grow to be a support and resource for people making the dietary choice to be gluten-free or vegan or both,” she said. “We’d like to provide them with a good product, but also go beyond that and help community members lend support to each other.”

The bakery hosts events and provides various opportunities for people to get involved. A free workshop series called “Thriving During the Holidays” will include gluten-free and vegan recipe swaps.

At Flying Apron Bakery and Café, you can find all the usual suspects: cookies, muffins, scones and cupcakes.

But these aren’t typical sweets that can be found wherever baked goods are sold — every product is 100 percent glutenfree and vegan.

Flying Apron, which opened on Redmond Way in May 2011, offers savory items such as lasagna, soup and pizza along with baked goods.

Everything is made fresh daily and sent from the bakery’s other location in Fremont.

Flying Apron co-owner Jeff Silva said that the biggest challenge in Redmond so far has been catering to a much different customer base than the original location in Fremont.

“We want to create this sense of community, so we’re trying to figure out what that community is in Redmond and cater to them,” Silva said.

The company looked to expand to the Eastside after having the Seattle area covered with its Fremont location, which opened in 2007. Redmond is more family oriented and draws in a much different customer base. Silva said that more savory products are sold at this location and the aesthetics are less funky than in Fremont.

“Redmond is family based and has a different age group, so our events are meant specifically to cater to that demographic,” said store manager Shira Firestone. “We want to be a good neighbor in the community.”

Firestone said that Flying Apron has been working to establish itself as not just an alternative bakery, but a resource for people with dietary restrictions and a

www.redmond-reporter.com [ symphony from page 1] “They couldn’t believe it...that they were good enough to play at Carnegie Hall,” Ferguson said about her students’ reaction to the news.

Even though the students may not have initially believed in themselves, Ferguson did. Both Hsu and Harris said it has been thanks to their director that they even had a chance of performing as Ferguson is “very proactive” in finding opportunities for her students.

“She’s done so much for the orchestra program in the Redmond region,” Harris said. “She just makes it accessible to everyone.”

SECOND TIME AROUND

This is the second time Ferguson will bring a group to Carnegie Hall. The last time was in 2009.

Ferguson said she thought it was a good year to apply to go back because the school has just transitioned to a four-year high school. All of the students who made the trip in 2009 have graduated with the exception of Kyu Kim, a senior who performed four years ago as an eighthgrader.

In addition to making a second trip to Carnegie Hall, Kim will perform a

Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter cello solo during the Mustangs’ performance. He will be playing on a 1970 Anton Schroetter Stradivarius cello on loan from the Carlsen Cello Foundation.

According to its website, the foundation’s mission is to make “fine cellos available to deserving students.”

The foundation loans out instruments on a long-term basis to students selected through teacher recommendations and video performance.

Ferguson said a combination of students from all four grades and all four

of her orchestra classes will travel to New York in March. She said although they are mostly strings, the orchestra also includes some wind instruments.

“It’s a full orchestra so we also have some band members (from the RHS band program),” she said.

BENEFIT CONCERT

While performing at Carnegie Hall is a rare opportunity, it is also an expensive one. To help cover some of the costs, the RHS orchestra program is holding a benefit concert

tonight at the Redmond Performing Arts Center on the school’s campus, at 17272 N.E. 104th. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at http://tinyurl.com/clrthyz, and $10 for adults and $7 for students and seniors.

The benefit will also have a raffle drawing and concessions.

Ferguson said the proceeds will help cover instrument rentals once they get to New York as it is very expensive to travel with large instruments. The funds will also go to cover

The RHS orchestras will be performing, as well as the Microsoft Orchestra.

Director James Truher connected with Ferguson last summer and said the benefit concert was a great opportunity for his group to do something they normally wouldn’t get the chance to do. He said it was also a chance for them to show their younger counterparts that they don’t have to be professional musicians to continue playing instruments.

“I’m hoping that kids from the high school can see the same thing,” Truher said, adding that no one in the Microsoft Orchestra,

which as about 65 members, is a career musician.

During tonight’s concert, the RHS orchestras will perform a number of pieces and the Microsoft Orchestra will perform one, as well. The groups will then combine for an all-strings performance and an all-instruments performance.

Truher said these performances will put 90 to 100-plus musicians on the stage.

“We’re pretty close friends now,” he said about the tight fit.

His orchestra has rehearsed with the students and he said things have been going great during rehearsals.

“We’re ready to go,” Truher said.

Plan a visit to the dentist before the holidays

Visiting a dentist before the Christmas holidays is a wise move. He or she will not only evaluate the general state of your oral health, they will also ensure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as possible for the festive season. With a good cleaning and up-todate repair or cosmetic work, you will

be much more comfortable making an entrance and cozying up to loved ones for intimate fireside conversations.

If you have a dental prosthesis, otherwise known as dentures, now is a good time to book a check-up. For optimal comfort and a healthy-looking smile, your prosthesis should be examined on a yearly basis. During your visit, the denturist will use all the latest equipment to ensure a perfect fit. If you have problems with odour, stains, or slipping, this is the time to bring them up so the denturist can resolve the issue immediately with modifications or advice. He or she will also clean and polish your dentures, making them shine like new.

More than trendy clothes, fashionable shoes or beautiful jewellery, your smile is a social tool and the key to seduction. It also builds tre-

FACE-SAVING TREATMENT There is nothing attractive about “bruxism” (tooth-grinding), beginning with the horrible noise it creates that resembles chewing on coconut shells. While this noise is usually more of a problem for people sharing sleeping quarters with tooth-grinders, the loss of enamel and damaged tooth structure that bruxism can cause are occurrences with which tooth-grinders should be concerned. In fact, unless the problem is halted with the use of a custom-made night guard provided by the dentist, bruxism can lead to facial changes that make the face look older. As tooth surfaces wear down and teeth become shorter, the upper and lower jaws (as well as the nose and chin) draw nearer. As a result, the lower face seems to prematurely age. Many tooth-grinders have notches in the outer surfaces of their upper and lower bicuspids at the gum line resulting from the strong side-to-side chewing motion characteristic of bruxism.

Could you benefit by wearing a night guard? Regular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are very important for good dental health. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we are dedicated to preserving your teeth and offering you the best care. If you have oral health questions for yourself or a family member, please call 425.641.4111. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue.

The City of Redmond will continue the Southeast Redmond neighborhood plan update process with a neighborhood event to seek ideas on what topics should be considered as part of the neighborhood plan update.

A meeting is planned from 5-7 p.m. Monday at Redmond City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St. “It’s very important for citizens and businesses to engage with the city around this process as the plan update will guide development and improvements in the neighborhood over the next 20 years,” said Kim Dietz, senior planner for the city. “Hearing from people (at this event) regarding what is most important to those who live, work or own property in the neighborhood is essential to a successful plan update. The current neighborhood plan was adopted in 1993, so community input is especially important.”

Also at the meeting, staff will describe a variety of ways to stay involved in the process, including serving on a Citizen Advisory Committee — a group consisting of neighborhood volunteers who will work with the city. Volunteer applications are available at http://www.redmond. gov/Residents/VolunteerOpportunities and should be submitted by Dec. 15.

Southeast Redmond is bounded by Bear and Evans creeks to the north, the city limits at approximately 196th Avenue Northeast to the east, Marymoor Park to the southwest and State Route 520 to the west.

This neighborhood is one of Redmond’s most diverse in terms of land use, including places to live, learn, work, shop, and recreate.

For additional information, to participate in the plan update process and for opportunities stay informed regarding the process, contact Dietz at kdietz@redmond.gov or (425) 556-2415, or Jeff Churchill at jchurchill@ redmond.gov or (425) 556-2492.

Odd Fellows rings insignia to be restored, reinstalled downtown former Addi-Bon Café (El Toreador).

The Odd Fellows Hall is a designated historic landmark and is one of the most prominent wood frame buildings in downtown Redmond. This two-story commercial building is located near the center of the historic business district. Built in 1903, this structure served many purposes for the local community: meeting hall, fraternal lodge for the Redmond Eagles and then the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, performance and dance hall featuring the Les LaBrie Orchestra, the city’s first movie venue, commercial space for Edwardian Antiques and now a dining and entertainment establishment for Redmond’s Bar

and Grill.

As Redmond grew during the early 1900s, it developed an array of economic, social and cultural institutions commonly associated with the establishment of communities in the American West. Redmond’s Independent Order of Odd Fellows was established in 1923 and like most fraternal organizations, was a means by which residents could reach out and provide support for one another.

Typical activities at the Odd Fellows Hall included holiday celebrations, Thanksgiving dinners, rummage sales, community dances, theatrical events, card parties and more.

For additional information regarding this historic landmark, visit www.

redmond.gov/Government/ HistoricPreservation/CityLandmarks or contact Kimberly Dietz at (425) 5562415 or kdietz@redmond. gov. For Redmond’s Bar and Grill, visit redmondsgrill. com or call (425) 558-9800.

Fairwinds — Redmond Retirement Community at 9988 Avondale Rd. N.E. is currently collecting kids’ pajamas as part of its ninth annual Pajama Drive for Treehouse, an organization that works to give foster children a real childhood as well as hope for the future.

Each year, Leisure Care — the Seattle-based, privately

owned operator of senior living communities, including Fairwinds — collects thousands in cash donations and more than 1,000 pairs of pajamas. This outfits about one-fifth of Treehouse’s foster children with pajamas. This year’s goal is to collect 1,300 pairs of pajamas this holiday season.

Fairwinds is accepting

donations of new and gently used pajamas through Dec. 5.

After that, Leisure Care employees and residents will sort and deliver the pajamas to the Treehouse Wearhouse, the free store where the 5,000-plus foster children can shop for much-needed items including clothing, school supplies, books, toys, and more.

With the old Group Health Overlake campus in Redmond slated for redevelopment, Eastside Audubon invites the community to a work party from 8 a.m. to noon tomorrow to salvage the native plants currently growing at the site. At the Group Health-approved event, volunteers will dig up plants that otherwise would be destroyed to save them for replanting later in the winter on the Audubon BirdLoop at Marymoor Park.

Eastside Audubon has been continually improving wildlife habitat at the BirdLoop since 2006 through monthly work parties.

No expertise is necessary to help with the native plant salvage; volunteers need only a shovel, work gloves, sturdy shoes and clothing layers appropriate for the weather.

The Group Health campus is in the Overlake area of Redmond, near the intersection of 156th Avenue Northeast and BelRed Road.

To facilitate planning, Eastside Audubon asks that volunteers sign up in advance of the event by contacting Tim McGruder, (425) 822-8580, or tmcrugder @gmail.com.

Lake Washington Institute of Technology adds new engineering technology degree Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) has announced its new associate of applied science engineering technology degree. This degree is designed for students who like the practical application of engineering, and who would benefit from a hands-on, rather than more theoretically inclined, program. It can lead to employment in as little as two years, or can provide a solid foundation for further studies in engineering and technology.

“Our engineering technology AAS (associate of applied science) degree has been designed for those students who really enjoy seeing the fruits of

their labor – working with their hands, developing new designs, diagnosing and fixing problems” said Dr. Steve Addison, acting dean of new programs at LWIT. “Traditional engineering programs focus on theory with relatively little time available for practical work. We’ve designed our program to really emphasize the application of engineering principles to real-world problems. We’ve developed an innovative approach that directly relates math and computing to the problems that are being taught in engineering classes to ease obstacles to learning math. And, unlike larger institutions,

our classes are small, and tailored to help each student stay motivated, and succeed.”

All students in the engineering technology program take a series of core engineering, math and computing classes that provides the fundamental knowledge all engineers require to be successful in the work force. To complete their degree, students then choose one of four focus areas: manufacturing, electronics, biomedical engineering, or renewable energy.

Graduates can either enter the workforce immediately, or use the AAS degree as the foundation for a baccalaureate degree.

EvergreenHealth earns Consumer Choice Award EvergreenHealth announced it has earned a Consumer Choice Award for its high-rated quality and patient experience by National Research Corporation, a nationally trusted data research firm, which places EvergreenHealth as one of two top-performing hospitals in the Puget Sound area based on consumer feedback.

Kirkland-based EvergreenHealth and its network of primary, urgent and emergency care centers — including one in Redmond — share the award with other institutions, including Seattle-based Swedish Medical Center in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett market, and other healthcare leaders like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

The 17th annual National

Research Consumer Choice Award recognizes exemplary performance in hospitals across the country by compiling a range of data collected by surveys of primary health-care decision-makers in 270,000 households nationwide. Respondents identify the hospitals in their area that they think offer the best quality and image and care from best teams of doctors and nurses. This year EvergreenHealth is a recipient in the Seattle market, which includes Snohomish and King counties.

“The highest honor we earn is our patients’ trust and preference for the care we provide at EvergreenHealth,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “We’re committed to serving our families and recognize our providers, staff and volunteers for

their skill and dedication to exceptional patient care and service, and for keeping the voice of the patient at the center of all we do.”

Hospitals are recognized for high marks within consumer perceptions on multiple quality and image ratings collected by National Research over an 11-month survey period.

National Research analyzes consumer-reported data, which names 3,200 hospitals across the country and ranks the highest-performing institutions in markets defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, and publishes the winning hospitals in an annual report in Modern Healthcare magazine.

“Customer-centric care is based on the notion of extending patient-centered care to all health-care consumers

who are taking the initiative with their health-care decisions and demanding higher quality. It advocates an allinclusive, cross-continuum view of care experiences for all health-care participants and stakeholders,” said Susan L. Henricks, president and chief operating officer for National Research Corporation. “The goal of this empowering movement and quality improvement initiatives from providers is to provide better outcomes — and create positive consumer perceptions. The Consumer Choice Awards recognizes hospitals that patients have rated as the most preferred places to receive care according to quality and image.”

This award complements other EvergreenHealth achievements including two consecutive HealthGrades

Many undesirable plants that grow in dense thickets also harbor rats and other vermin, creating a public safety hazard, as well. Once the unwelcome plants are gone, native vegetation will be planted in their place.

READY TO RUMBLE Redmond native Anthony Hamilton wrestled and played football — now the 32-year-old hopes to grab the heavyweight title at this Saturday’s CageSport XXII event Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Count to seven.

That’s how long it took Anthony Hamilton to dispatch of Mike Riddell in a CageSport bout on Nov. 3. First, there was some maneuvering and a Hamilton jab to create some distance between the two fighters. And then came the big blow: an overhand right punch to the “button” of Riddell’s chin. Lights out. A knockout victory.

“Fortunately, I’ve never had that happen to me. You do get a flash when you get (punched hard),” said Hamilton, a 32-year-old Redmond native and MMA (mixed martial arts) professional fighter. “You don’t want anything bad to happen to anybody. When that happens (a knockout), you hope that they’re going to get through it OK.” On Saturday night, Hamilton — a 6-foot-5, 265-pound former All-American wrestler and college football player — will take to the cage again for a CageSport XXII heavyweight title clash with Bill Widler from California at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma.

“That guy’s gonna be pretty tough — he’s not coming up here to lose,” said Hamilton, who is 7-2 as a professional fighter, following a 4-0 amateur career. Widler — who will enter the cage at 6-2, 235 — sports a 5-3 record heading into Saturday’s scheduled five rounds of action.

“These two guys are as hard hitting as they come and fans will surely be pleased by the excitement these fighters bring to the cage,” reads event promoter Halquist Productions’ press release.

Hamilton became interested in cage fighting in late 2007 after training in jujitsu and kick boxing. Mix in his athletic prowess on the wrestling mat from junior high through college and as a tight end on the football field along the way, and Hamilton was ready to rumble in the cage.

“I always kept my eye on it and watched Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on TV in college,” said Hamilton, who attended Kentwood High School, Highline Community College and Central Washington University.

Later, he competed at some NFL combines and nearly made the roster for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League. But his dream of toughing it out on a professional level never diminished. He often saw some of the guys he played against on the gridiron participating in fighting events on TV and that motivated him to give it a shot.

“I was an engineer for a while — I was too young to be sitting behind a computer,” said Hamilton, who lived in Redmond through his elementary school years before moving to Kent. He currently resides in Newcastle.

Since entering the MMA realm, Hamilton has fought in Albuquerque, NM, Las Vegas, Nev., and in Washington. Last December, he defeated Matt Kovacs for the Rumble on the Ridge 21 heavyweight title at the Snoqualmie Casino.

Anthony Hamilton, above top and below right, takes down and approaches an opponent during an MMA bout. The 32-year-old Redmond native — who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 265 pounds — will fight for the heavyweight title at CageSport XXII this Saturday at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. Courtesy photos Hamilton, who trains at Lee’s Martial Arts in Renton, said that visualizing each bout from start to finish is one of the keys to his success. He harkens back to his wrestling days for motivation during his MMA bouts.

“It teaches you a lot about discipline and how to overcome adversity. It’s a team sport, but individually you only advance if you win — you decide how your career is going,” he said of wrestling. “(MMA) is great. I’ve been athletic my whole life and I feel it’s definitely a challenge for me… you try to build upon the things you did well and fix the things you do wrong.”

As Hamilton’s career progresses, he hopes to one day “get a call to the big show,” meaning taking the step up from CageSport to the high-profile world of UFC, Bellator or Strikeforce fighting.

Taking down Widler this Saturday is at the top of his fist-wielding wish list for now, and he feels he’s ready both physically and mentally.

“My game plan is to keep myself calm and motivated, spend time with my family and try to stay positive,” Hamilton said.

Doors for CageSport XXII open at 6 p.m. with the first fight scheduled for 7 p.m. Tickets, starting at $35, can be purchased through Ticketmaster or at the Emerald Queen Casino box office.

Redmond residents celebrate Navratri during October Anuv Vaghul Special to the Reporter

One of the living rooms in the Paramesh family’s Redmond home features the Golu, a stand that displays idols of Hindu deities. Courtesy photo up decorations. One of the traditional decorations is the Golu, a stand that displays idols of Hindu deities.

The Golu is a structure that looks like a staircase, but functions as the base for arranging the idols.

Traditionally, the least symbolic figures, such as people and animals, are placed on the bottom. As you travel the steps, the more important figures in Hinduism are displayed, ending with the most celebrated gods and goddesses on the top.

Jayashree said, “I bought most of the dolls from local Indian stores.”

She says that there were only a few that she inherited from her family in India. Although she affirmed that there was little personal connection between her and the dolls, each idol represents a story. As most of the dolls are deities, they are arranged in such a way that demonstrates their history, in relation to other

deities, as well.

Covering the steps, a traditional Indian sheet is used. These sheets range in color and variety, and are usually added to accompany and enhance the display. In front of the Golu is the Kolam, or Rangoli, which is a colorful Indian design, created using materials such as chalk, paint, beads and even colored sand.

Even though the Golu is already a showcase of creativity and celebration, Jayashree has taken the Golu back to its roots in India. She modeled the Golu after the ever-busy Pondy Bazaar, a famous market from Madras, Chennai. She explained, “This market is filled with street vendors,” and playfully exaggerated that you might even find vendors

selling their goods from atop stationary cars.

Capturing the essence of the market area, she crafted a life size vendor’s stand, along with the hearty vendor himself, who is supposedly selling the dolls arranged on the Golu. Jayashwaree added that, Pondy Bazaar is especially busy during Navratri, because “everyone is off from work.”

Traditionally, people in India are allowed 10 days off during the span of Navratri. In America, that is not the case though.

To the right of the Golu are a mother and her child, passing by the shop.

Like the vendor, they are garnished in Indian wear, from head to toe.

Behind them is a miniature temple, similar to the kinds one would find in

the bazaar, alongside the road, under the trees.

In discussion with Jayashree, she recalled, “I started setting up the Golu 15 years ago, when my second son was born.”

In the early years of her Golu, she explained that they were not as intricate as her work in 2012, and the past few years. She began planning this year’s Navratri Golu around

Walking into one of the living rooms of the Paramesh household, an embellished banner reads, “Welcome to Pondy Bazaar.” The room is flooded by the aroma of sweets and scented candles, and is well lit by lights of various colors and sizes.

Continue walking in, and one might initially acknowledge the presence of other visitors in the room, standing around the lavish display of colorful and sizable collection of idols.

Evaluating their intricate and realistic facial expressions and poses, these visitors may seem all too real, but take a closer look, and they are just mere replicas of men, women and children.

Molded by skins of paper and plastic, these life size humans were brought forth by the innovative hands of Jayashree Paramesh, a Redmond mom and wife. Elaborately garnished in traditional Indian dresses, these “people” stand alongside a religious display of Hindu idols in honor of Navratri.

Navratri is the celebration of the female deity Shakti, and three of her incarnations known as Durga, the warrior Goddess, Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, and Saraswathi, the Goddess of knowledge. This holiday is celebrated for nine days and nights, in which Indians perform different kinds of worship for the deities and take part in various festivities specific to their region in India.

The holiday began on the 12th of October and ended on the 23rd, culminating in a final pooja celebrating the goddess Durga herself.

Most Indians in the Redmond community celebrate Navratri by preparing special Indian dishes, inviting family and friends to visit and setting

three weeks in advance, going to shops to determine whether her resources were applicable. She says that because materials were limited, she was not able to make all the decorations she wanted, including the possibility of more life size people.

Nonetheless, Jayashree created a wonderful Golu, showing off her artistic abilities.

Navratri is not only a time for celebration.

This holiday represents a special time for women to demonstrate their talents in the arts. Like Jayashree, they can show off their artistic abilities through the arrangement of the Golu.

Also, women gather together and sing prayers or traditional Indian songs, showcasing their voices.

Jayashree remarked, “I don’t even know what I am going to do next year.”

After she spent the past few weeks working hard on preparing for the holiday, she cannot begin to fathom the idea of preparations for the next year.

For many, the decorations are a tiring process, but ultimately, it is rewarding.

Although Navratri is over, Jayashree, as well as many Indian families in Redmond, look forward to celebrating the holiday next year, and creating and sharing new experiences for all to enjoy.
