U.S. Reps. Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Dave Reichert (WA-08) visited the City of Redmond Tuesday afternoon to congratulate Mayor John Marchione and the city on Redmond’s centennial. The two representatives presented the mayor with a joint statement they issued last month, as well as a U.S. flag that flew over the capitol in Washington, D.C. in honor of Redmond’s 100th birthday, which was Dec. 31, 2012. DelBene and Reichert also spoke a few words about their experiences in Redmond. DelBene first moved to the area from Oregon in the mid 1980s. Although she has never actually lived in the city, she worked at Redmond-based Microsoft Corp. from 1989-98. In addition, when she left

Courtesy of Patrick Hirsch the tech giant and helped found drugstore.com, the Internet retailer’s headquarters were originally based in Redmond. “Redmond looked a lot different back then,” she said, describing an Overlake neighborhood with an open business park
before Microsoft took over and a downtown Redmond before Redmond Town Center opened. “There was not much (downtown).” DelBene added that she is looking forward to another 100 years of success and growth in Redmond. Although Reichert

With Lake Washington School District (LWSD) moving toward a one-onone computing model in which each student receives a netbook computer for their studies, it’s clear that technology is being integrated into the curriculum. But with great technology comes great responsibility. This was the message Charles Leitch wanted to send to students at Evergreen Middle School (EMS) in Redmond Thursday morning. “You want to be careful,” he cautioned them. During his presentation, Leitch, a Seattle attorney who represents school districts and other public entities, stressed the importance of thinking before acting. He told students that once they post something online, send an email or text message, it’s out there for the world to see.
“You lose control the minute you send that photo,” he said. “Anything you post will be found at some point.” This being said, Leitch — who has been speaking to school administrators, parents and students nationwide on the subject of cyber safety for about four years — encouraged the students to set privacy settings on any public profiles or accounts they may have to make it more difficult for their information to get into the wrong hands. While people can control what they say and how they say it, Leitch said they can’t control how others take it and how it affects them. He said this is especially true online as we can’t see their reactions. Because of this, Leitch told EMS students to pay attention to others’ feelings and whether the comment they post or the picture they send might be hurtful. “It’s really easy to lose [ more safety page 8 ]
Brawl breaks out after Redmond, Eastlake basketball game Staff Report
Sammamish police officers responded to calls of multiple fights on Jan. 4 at the local McDonald’s following a rival boys high school basketball game between Eastlake and Redmond. According to Administrative Sergeant Jessica Sullivan, seven officers responded to
the scene shortly after 9:10 p.m., to find 50 people milling around the parking lot. Witnesses told the officers that several Redmond students walked into the fast food restaurant and began taunting Eastlake students. Redmond had just defeated Eastlake in a close game, 59-56. Sullivan said the taunts escalated into a physical fight that involved parties who fled
before police arrived. Officers located one 16-year-old male from Redmond, who was bleeding from cuts to his head and had minor facial swelling. The boy told officers he saw his friend fighting, so he decided to jump in. He said he did not know the reason for the fight and would not identify any other involved parties. The student was treated
by Eastside Fire and Rescue and released at the scene. Neither the Sammamish Police Department, King County Sheriff ’s Office, nor Redmond Police Department have received subsequent assault reports. Sullivan said she was unable substantiate a rumor that someone was hospitalized as a [ more brawl page 8 ]
