‘It’s a wonderful feeling to have it completed,’ says Benjamin Rush principal SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

First day of school jitters are usually related to starting a new grade, meeting new teachers, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

But for students at Benjamin Rush Elementary School in Redmond, there was another layer added as the school kicked off the new year on Tuesday with a fully completed new building.

Parents approaching the newly renovated campus offered words of comfort to both their new Ben Rush students

as well as their returning students who were nervous about being in a new building. There was also excitement in the air among students to be entering a fully

renovated building for the first time. Parents were also excited and some even took some time to walk around the halls to explore the new building once class was

in session.

“This is their school,” said Lake Washington School District communications director Kathryn Reith.

She said at the elementary level, the kids are at the school for a longer period of time and parents are more involved, which is very important.

“It’s really critical at that age,” Reith said.

Students first entered a new building in January after winter break last school year, but portions of the school’s old building were still in use such as the gymnasium, [ more SCHOOL page 5 ]

Two pot shops could be coming to Redmond.

On Wednesday, the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) allocated a maximum of 334 retail outlets statewide, including two in Redmond and 61 in King County overall.

Per Initiative 502, the WSLCB applied a method that allocates retail store locations using Office of Financial Management (OFM) population with a cap on the number of retail stores per county.

“I think it’s great, I have no problem with it at all,” said Redmond resident Vivian Broda. She was joined in her opinion by a group of anonymous patrons at a local business. One man said to tax it and take the illegal tag off of it. One woman said she agrees with I-502, but as a mother of a teenager, she’s worried the younger set might have too much access to marijuana.

Redmond resident Ruth (last name withheld) doesn’t agree with I-502 and the shops possibly opening in Redmond: “With so many children in our area, because we live in an area that is surrounded by schools, they just have easy access to it, much easier than they would normally — plus adults, too. I

don’t use it and I just really don’t approve of it.”

Redmond city officials weren’t available for comment at the Reporter’s deadline.

The WSLCB approved the filing of proposed supplemental rules that, if ultimately enacted, will help govern Washington state’s system of producing, processing and retailing recreational marijuana.

The board earlier this summer filed proposed rules on July 3. The board chose to revise and re-file its rules after receiving public input at five public hearings across Washington.

“These rules fulfill the public expectation of creating a tightly-regulated and controlled system while providing reasonable access to participation in the market,” said Board Chair Sharon Foster. “Importantly, we believe these rules meet the eight federal government enforcement priorities within (the Aug. 29) guidance memo from the Department of Justice.”

Last Thursday, Attorney General Eric Holder informed the governors of Washington and Colorado that the Department of Justice would allow implementation of these states’ ballot measures that legalized the adult use of small amounts of marijuana. [ more POT page 5 ]

Fire chief Smith takes over his new job in Redmond Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Tommy is the City of Redmond’s new fire chief. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter

Members of the City of Redmond’s fire and police departments, City Council and various commissions, as well as staff from a number of city departments, gathered in the Council Chambers at City Hall Wednesday morning to welcome Tommy Smith as the city’s new fire chief.

Smith comes to Redmond from the Colorado Springs Fire Department in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he had been serving as interim fire chief before moving to the Pacific Northwest. Other positions he held at that department — which he served for 22 years — included firefighter, paramedic, lieutenant, captain, battalion chief and deputy chief.

City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione said in addition to his skills and experience, another thing that made Smith stand out in the hiring process was how he exemplified the city’s values of integrity, accountability and a commitment to service.

“He came across as very thoughtful, professional and committed to service,” Marchione said about his first impression of Smith, adding that he is also very approachable.

Marchione said as part of the hiring process, the city conducts a background check

tion a r b Cele onte g f in pen ry Bela O r nd Gra ith Ha w

on all potential department directors and because finding the right person for the fire chief position was so important, Marchione did the check himself and traveled to Colorado Springs in August.

Smith did some checking on Redmond, as well. He visited the city in the spring when he first heard about the open position to see if Redmond was somewhere he and his family would want to live.

“It needs to be a fit both ways,” Marchione said.

Smith said that first visit to Redmond was like coming home.

“You are about the same things (as Colorado Springs),” he told the crowd.

Smith said he loved the area and that people were very friendly and welcoming.

He added that he took the job to serve and be a part of the community — not make a name for himself or build his resume.

Smith arrived in Redmond on Aug. 26, but his first day at the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) was Tuesday.

With Smith taking over the fire department, Redmond Police Chief Ron Gibson can go back to just being in charge of the Redmond Police Department (RPD). He had been serving as the interim fire chief while the city conducted its search for a permanent chief. [ more chief page 4 ]

Police, fire PIO steps down from job Jim Bove worked his final day on Wednesday as public information officer for the Redmond Police Department and Redmond Fire Department. He was on the job since November of 2007 after working in college administration for 11 years. He was the first nonofficer to have this position.

His next step will be laying the groundwork on a nonprofit that he’s starting to support mental health issues.

“It has truly been an honor

to serve this community and work alongside so many wonderful people in Redmond, our surrounding agencies, throughout the community and the media,” Bove said. “Redmond has been, and always will be, a special place and I wish you all nothing but the best moving forward. I hope our paths cross again in the future.”

In the interim, officers Mike Dowd and Julie Beard and Lt. Charlie Gorman will take over Bove’s spot.

Gibson also came from Colorado Springs before joining Redmond and had crossed paths with Smith professionally when he was there. He said while it is nice to bring on someone who he has shared common experiences with, he is happier to bring on someone who shares the same values as the city. Gibson said from his past experiences with Smith that he is a man of integrity.

Gibson added that his experiences heading the fire

department has given him a better understanding of its needs and will help him in the future as he and Smith work together to develop a public safety strategic plan for the city.

RFD Battalion Chief Doug Kammerzell, who has been with the city for 32 years, said it is always exciting to have someone new at the helm.

“It’s always good to have a permanent person in place that’s going to provide leadership and stability to the department,” he said Kammerzell said the fire department got this while Gibson was in charge, but it’s not the same because he was not permanent and was splitting his time between the two departments.

Kammerzell met Smith once before while he was visiting Redmond. His impression was that Smith was a “solid guy” and a firefighter’s chief, meaning he is not removed from the firefighters’ jobs and is connected to what they do and their operations.

“I am proud of Washington state for leading the way on national policy. We will regulate the production and sale of adult use marijuana in a way that reduces harm, protects youth, and profits legitimate, law-abiding, tax-paying businesses rather than criminals,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a press release. “Prohibition has clearly failed and, thanks to this decision by the federal government, we can now develop policies that respect the will of the people and work better for our communities.”

The WSLCB listed some of its key public safety elements as: All grows must meet strictly controlled on-site security requirements; strict surveillance and transportation requirements; criminal background checks on all license applicants; tough penalty guidelines for public safety violations including loss of license.

Some of WSLCB’s key consumer safety elements are: Packaging and label requirements including dosage and warnings; childresistant packaging for marijuana in solid and liquid forms; store signage requirements to educate customers.

Revisions to the rules include production limits include the total amount of marijuana to be produced at 40 metric tons, and the maximum amount of space for marijuana production is set at two million square feet.

WLSCB also changed the way the 1,000 foot buffer is measured from to “along the most direct route over or across established public walks, streets, or other public passageway between the proposed building/business locations to the perimeter of the grounds of the entities listed.”

The WSLCB will post the dates and locations of upcoming public hearings on the proposed rules on its website at www.liq.wa.gov.

[ SCHOOL from page 1] cafeteria and music room.

“It was a phase project,” said principal Brad Stolz about the construction process for the new building.

The first phase of the project included all classrooms and small offices throughout the building.

The second phase of the project — which completed the school — added a preschool room, an art and science room, a new cafeteria, gymnasium and music room. Before it was complete, the school’s main office moved to the new building into an empty classroom on the second floor. Now, the office is on the ground floor at the school’s main entryway.

Ben Rush office manager Debi Miller and secretary Nancy Dunlap said having the office located back at the entryway is nice because it brings the school family back together. They said the temporary location in the classroom was a bit isolated because not everyone would know where they were located.

“It’s a wonderful feeling to have it completed,” Stolz said about the whole building.

He said now, the school is more cohesive and the flow of the campus makes sense.

The original Ben Rush building opened in April 1970 — a few months before City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione entered as a kindergartner that fall — and was demolished to make way for the new building. The new Ben Rush was built using reclaimed

Brother and sister Dan (left) and Orr Sagiv point out their family’s brick, located at the entryway of Benjamin Rush Elementary School. The two entered kindergarten and third grade on Tuesday. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter wood from the old building as well as trees from the area that had to be cut down, said Reith. She added that the new $16.3 million building, which was built by Mortenson Construction, was part of the district’s 2006 modernization bond and the completed building is about 67,500 square feet and has a capacity for about 550.

Alexander Graham Bell Elementary School in Kirkland also opened with a fully completed building on Tuesday.

Ben Rush’s current enrollment is 523, including preschool. Stolz said the old building was getting tight on space and they had portable classrooms. He said in the new

building, they are not full yet and have two extra classrooms. Stolz added that they have about a third more parking spaces available and it’s nice to look out into the lot and see a bunch of open slots.

The district first broke ground for the new building in June 2011, during which longtime teacher Syd Mack — who had taught at the school since it opened until she retired that year — drove a bulldozer as a treat for students during the ceremony.

“Our neighbors have been amazingly patient and cooperative,” Stolz said about the community since the groundbreaking until now.

EDITORIAL

Back to school means it’s time to slow down Children returned to the classroom on Tuesday and while some parents may have cheered the date, it’s also a time of concern: More than one-fourth of child pedestrian fatalities occur between 3-7 p.m.

Those times are when schools are dismissing kids from the classroom or when they are headed home from school-related activities.

Now, more than ever, drivers need to be careful turning corners, backing out of driveways and driving through school zones.

Making things worse is that the days around here will get dark and rainy as fall and winter approach.

We expect that the police will be out in force, radar guns in hand, along streets that pass by schools. And we trust that they will hand out tickets even to those who say, “oops, sorry” when they’re pulled over.

So let’s all take a deep breath, take our

I want you to know how much I enjoy opening to your paper’s opinion page and finding Jeff Johnson’s editorial cartoon. I think it’s one of the best features in your Reporter. Johnson’s cartoon art always makes me smile and I always learn something.

Johnson has an amazing knack of combining art with the use of just a few words to create a powerful message. His work is very creative and entertaining. I consider his art somewhat comparable to a poem in that it combines words with form and structure to create an impression.

The City of Redmond and Arts Commission have recently taken great strides to promote and enhance art in our community — installation art, street art, public works art, outdoor art and even tree house art is in the planning stages. I hope the Arts Commission will take a second look at Johnson’s cartoon art and consider bringing his work into their portfolio.

Yes, Johnson’s sketchings carry an opinion and it gets people talking; just what good art is supposed to do.

Johnson’s art is a part of our culture. Johnson and his family are longtime Redmond resi-

dents, he teaches sketching to school children, and for years he’s played a big part in adding sizzle to the Redmond Reporter.

I hope one day the city will see fit to recognize Johnson as a local artist.

Not really ‘family time’ I stopped into my local Starbucks on a recent morning. As I waited for my coffee, I happened to notice many families, each at their own tables. With everyone’s eyes looking down at their technical devices. Fathers, mothers and children. No one speaking or making eye contact.

The children ranged from maybe 8 to young teens.

I somehow find it hard to believe this is what we call quality time spent with our children.

We are losing communication verbally and visually.

I am now a grandmother myself, but can remember many conversations with my parents.

I was able to see and understand their loving and sometimes stern expressions. Everyone is now looking down into a piece of plastic and I find it so sad.

Maybe Sunday mornings are a good day to hit the off switch and reconnect with family.

The battle for public records Those looking for a more transparent government are increasingly relying on public records to make it happen.

They hope the more documents they obtain the clearer their view of what’s really going on behind closed doors in school districts, city halls and county buildings.

But there are those throughout the public sector convinced some of these Washingtonians are abusing the Public Records Act. An alliance of government forces — whose members often are the targets of the records — tried unsuccessfully earlier this year to rewrite the act to make it easier to repel requesters whose motives they question.

With the help of Republican and Democratic lawmakers, they pushed a bill to make it easier for public agencies to block requests and to limit the time spent compiling records.

Though the bill died in the legislative process, the matter reappeared in the state budget in the form of a provision to spend $25,000

contemplating ways to help governments deal with records requests they consider harassing.

Lawmakers tapped the Ruckelshaus Center, a joint venture of the University of Washington and Washington State University, to facilitate a conversation between those in the alliance and those who viewed the failed bill as an unprecedented attack on citizens’ right to petition their government. By Dec. 15, the center is supposed to put forth recommendations.

The effort is just getting off the ground and folks at the center are tamping down expectations what will emerge.

Michael Kern, the center director, said this week the time frame is too tight to pull the parties together for fruitful face-to-face sessions presuming everybody on all sides is interested in doing so.

The game plan is to speak with 20 to 30 people who’ve been visible and vocal in the legislative conflict then prepare an assessment of the [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ] Jerry Cornfield

LWSD students more likely to meet ACT college readiness standards Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students who take the ACT, a standardized test widely used in college admissions, continue to be more likely to meet college readiness standards than other students in Washington or in the United States.

More district students score high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark that ACT has set for all four subjects: English, math, reading and science. While nationally 26 percent of students met this standard for all four subjects and 39 percent met it statewide, 57 percent of the students in LWSD who took the ACT qualified.

This maintains last year’s gains.

Ninety-two percent of LWSD students taking the ACT met the college readiness benchmark score in English, compared to 75 percent statewide and 64 percent nationwide.

In math, 78 percent of district students met the readiness benchmark, while at the state level it was 60 percent and 44 percent nationally. For reading, 75 percent of district students met the benchmark compared to 58 percent statewide and 44 percent nationally.

In science, 68 percent of LWSD students met the readiness benchmark while 49 percent statewide and 36 percent nationally met that standard.

The number of students in LWSD who took the ACT test fell from 485 in 2011 to 450 in 2012. That is still higher than the 403 students who took the test in 2009.

The district’s average composite score remained steady from 2012 to 2013 at 25.5, a number exceeded only by the 2011 average score of 25.6.

Both state and national composite scores fell in 2013. State composite scores dropped from 22.9 in 2012 to 22.8 in 2013.

The national average fell from 21.1 to 20.9.

LWIT shines with The Oculus Rift Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s (LWIT) Digital Gaming and Media program developed and displayed several virtual world environments using The Oculus Rift at the recently concluded PAX PRIME Seattle gaming event.

The Oculus Rift is a yet-to-be-released virtual reality technology, which is expected to radically impact digital media and gaming over

the next few years.

LWIT prides itself on being a leader in developing and using groundbreaking technology.

The college’s displays wowed both audiences and industry professionals at the exhibition, which was held at the Washington State Convention Center over Labor Day weekend.

LWIT students also developed several mobile games and unique 3D projection technologies,

which caught the attention of industry giants Sony and Microsoft at the convention.

LWIT, which is part of the state of Washington’s public college system, has built a competitive, cutting-edge digital media program over the last several years as part of programs offered in multimedia design and production and applied design. The school offers a bachelor of technology degree in applied design.

“In all honesty, we probably will not be a whole lot further than when the session ended,” he said. “It’s a big enough issue that we have to take some baby steps forward.”

Another person interested in talking with Kern’s team is Jason Mercier, an analyst with the Washington Policy Center and member of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. The coalition strongly opposed Takko’s bill.

He sees no reason to change the Public Re-

cords Act. The problem isn’t the law, he said, but officials understanding of it. Many do not realize what tools are already available to them when someone submits one of those so-called burdensome requests.

He suggested lawmakers asked the wrong question with the budget proviso. Leaders in local governments say hefty requests can chew up staff time and taxpayer dollars but there’s no data on how much time and money is wasted to back up their claims, he said. Getting the answer would really inform the discussion, he said.

Sounds like something a public records request, or two, could clear up.

“We’ll report what the diverse interests say,” he said. “It will not include our opinions because we don’t have opinions.

We are a neutral third party.”

That’s not quite what Democratic Rep. Dean Takko of Longview envisioned when he helped persuade leaders of his party to put the proviso in the budget.

Takko, who sponsored the failed bill, hoped the skilled forces at the center could blaze a trail lawmakers could not.

While Hitzroth is certainly intrigued with Redmond’s past, what does he think of the city these days?

“I think it’s great the way the city is turning out. They (city leaders) appreciate where they come from — doing all this new development with the idea of preserving old town as part of its historical character,” said Hitzroth, noting that he approves of the way Redmond’s planners have reused old buildings instead of tearing them down.

Former Redmond mayor and current historical society president Chris Himes hopes the Saturday Speaker Series will get people interested in the culture and history of Redmond.

Himes, who was mayor from 1980-1984 and was a City Council member from 1976-1980, lived in Redmond for 40 years before moving to her current residence in Monroe.

“When I was mayor, I left with 19 parks and a trail system and now we have (31) parks,” Himes, 84, said. “I’m happy that I started that, and I’m happy that Rosemarie (Ives) and Doreen (Marchione) continued that ... hanging on to the environment.”

FASHION for aCAUSE

Redmond man combines fashion, art and philanthropy to raise money for various nonprofits SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Stephane Boss can pinpoint the moment his life changed.

It was when he went on a 10-day trip to Guatemala in 2010. The Redmond resident traveled there with two of his sons — who were 13 and 11 at the time (his youngest son was only 5 at the time). They went down to volunteer at a school, fixing furniture, painting and making other improvements throughout the facility for the students.

Boss said after that, he saw the world differently.

“It was a life-changing experience,” he said. “I came back and I knew I wanted to do it on a broader scale.”

After the trip, Boss began fundraising for the school and admitted the task “pretty much became an obsession.”

He learned how easy it can be to make a difference, saying a small contribution for one person can be huge to the person who receives it.

FASHION AND PHILANTHROPY

Upon his return from Guatemala, Boss, who had worked in marketing and sales in the corporate world for 20 years, began thinking about how he could combine his love of fashion and art with a way to help people.

The solution that came was BYDFAULT, a socially conscious clothing company Boss founded and owns that combines fashion and art to improve people’s lives.

The company sells clothing with social cause-inspired designs from artists — both local and from throughout the world — and donates $5 from every sale to the cause that inspired the design. Currently, BYDFAULT sells T-

involved with BYDFAULT because of the “great concept and more importantly, the very driven Stephane.”

“Vin and Omi are always looking for innovative ways to support charity and BYDFAULT seemed a perfect way to combine fashion and philanthropy,” he said.

The shirts Vin and Omi designed for BYDFAULT support Sightsavers, an international organization that works to combat blindness in developing countries, restoring sight through specialist treatment and eye care. The organization also supports people who are irreversibly blind by providing education, counseling and training.

“The gift of sight is taken for granted by most people,” Wilson said. “If we help restore just one person’s sight, how great is that?

How can people hope to fend for themselves without sight? Restoring sight helps villages and communities, not just individuals.”

shirts and tank tops for men, women and children online at bydfault.com. Seattle Thread Company also carries some of the brand’s men’s line in its store in Kirkland. Boss said he is working to expand to also carry accessories such as bags and backpacks and to have BYDFAULT in more boutiques.

BYDFAULT launched in August 2012 and in the year that it has been in business, the company has gone from carrying only two styles of Tshirts to more than 20 styles.

Boss said they were also able to raise about $2,000 through T-shirt sales and a fundraiser organized by an 8-year-old boy from the Eastside to send Boss and his middle son back down to Guatemala in March of this year to help build another classroom at a local school.

While it would be better for BYDFAULT’s bottom line if all the money it raised for its various causes came from T-shirt sales, Boss said profits are not the top priority for them.

“If someone is inspired and wants to help, that’s great,” he said.

VARIOUS CAUSES

SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS ARTISTS

Boss, who recently became a commissioner for the City of Redmond’s Arts Commission, said when it comes to picking artists, he looks at their style and work but also looks into their social consciousness and whether they support any type of cause. If the artists are already supporting certain causes, Boss will work to connect with the organizations and go from there. If the artists are interested in supporting certain causes but aren’t at the moment, Boss will work with them to figure out which organization fits best

Kevin Wilson of Vin and Omi — fashion and multi-

media designers working in the United Kingdom and United States — said they got

In addition to working to eliminate avoidable blindness around the world and providing education in Guatemala, BYDFAULT also supports or will support causes working to end human trafficking and protect the environment.

Boss said some of the organizations they have partnered with or will partner with go a step further by hiring or working with people related to their cause.

For example, the shirts supporting Not For Sale, an organization working to end human trafficking, are made in India in a factory of human trafficking survivors.

“It’s way more than a T-shirt,” Boss said about the fact that the $5 from BYDFAULT in this case goes toward providing jobs

to these individuals.

Wilson said there should be more government support for socially aware companies such as BYDFAULT, especially when they are just starting up.

“While Vin and Omi are happy to donate time and designs to raise money for the charity, it would be great to think that the government was aiding (BYDFAULT’s) early stage growth to ensure great companies like this thrived,” he said.

Alex Chiu, an artist from Portland, Ore., teamed up with BYDFAULT to support Shane’s Inspiration, an organization dedicated to building playgrounds accessible to children of all abilities. He said chose this cause after learning about it from a friend who has a child with disabilities. Chiu, who is also a teacher, said he appreciates Boss’s desire to raise money for a good cause.

“Art exists in a world of privilege. Very few people in this world can afford a highquality, beautifully printed graphic t-shirt,” Chiu said.

“For those who can, it is important that they realize that there are people less fortunate than themselves out in the world.”

Boss said BYDFAULT has two sorts of customers: those who purchase their products because they support the cause and those who purchase their products because they like the style. For those who purchase BYDFAULT products for the fashion, the company provides tags and packaging explaining its philosophy as well as the specific cause tied with the product.

“Either way is fine for me,” Boss said about the reasons behind people purchasing BYDFAULT’s products, “as long as people understand who made it and the cause they support.”

Scouts trek through New Mexico wilderness Matthew Harlan Special to the Reporter

Last month, my Boy Scout crew consisting of seven teenage scouts and four adult leaders from Troop 575 in Redmond made the backpacking trip of a lifetime through the rugged Sangre de Christo Mountains of northern New Mexico. The two-week-long trek covered 87 miles and ascended a total of 9,600 vertical feet over the property of Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M. and the Kit Carson National Forest.

The scouts and their advisers hiked from camp to camp carrying everything that was essential to their survival on their backs.

To preserve the wilderness, they were instructed in “leave no trace” camping, which focuses on how to minimize the impacts humans have on nature. The strenuous trek ventured into the heart of bear and mountain lion territory. In order to prevent wild animals from terrorizing their campsite, the scouts were taught how to hang bear bags from trees that contained food and other things that could potentially attract animals.

Several of the camps they visited

Having to push through all of the difficulties throughout the trek helps you realize that you are capable of doing great things.

The other values instilled in the scouts are teamwork and keeping a positive mental attitude. To succeed at Philmont, the crew must work together to accomplish certain tasks such as setting up bear bags, tents and hiking through difficult terrain.

These activities included gold panning, cowboy action shooting, black power rifle shooting, mountain biking, blacksmithing and touring an abandoned gold mine. The highlight of the trip was summiting Baldy Mountain, which stands 12,441 feet above sea level.

Philmont appears to be simply a strenuous backpacking program, but it actually uses the trek to teach many essential life skills.

Having the courage to face your fears and persevere through hardships is essential for succeeding in life, as well as at Philmont. At some point on the trek, everyone will

and encouraged each other when we faced challenging obstacles.

We made sure to keep each other hydrated and took breaks when needed. Staying positive is key for having a great time at Philmont. A negative outlook will make all of the tasks more difficult to complete and only make the experience worse for you and others.

“Philmont is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical,” said a ranger. “If you keep a positive attitude, you will have a great time here. I guarantee it!”

“A trek like this changes you for life,” said Jim Beaver, the adult expedition leader. “You never quite look at things the same way and you are reluctant to take things for granted.”

“The truly greatest accomplishments are achieved as a team.

Philmont is too big for us individually,” said Branden Powell, adult adviser, “But not too big for a good team.”

The Philmont Scout Ranch covers 214 square miles of vast wilderness located in northern New Mexico, with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet. Established in 1938, Philmont is celebrating its 75th anniversary as the Boy Scouts of America’s premier high adventure camp, and is the largest youth camp in the world. It has served nearly a million scouts since its inception in 1938.

Pitney Bowes encourages kids to read “Share the Message: READ” is a program Pitney Bowes has participated in for several years. Sue Tag, a service delivery manager with Pitney Bowes on the Microsoft campus, helped coordinate this special day recently at Einstein Elementary School. She worked with the school librarian Anne Sandbo, who stepped in to help with this fun event for the students.

“It’s sponsored by Reading is Fundamental and funded by the Pitney Bowes Foundation. We come to a school and spend an hour with a classroom of elementary age students in grades kindergarten through fifth grades. We read a book aloud, do a craft that relates to the book and give every child an age-appropriate book to take home,” Tag said.

Pitney Bowes volunteers spent as much one-on-one time as possible with each child during the event along with several Einstein staff members.

Sandbo added: “What [ more bowes page 11]

stood out for me was watching the kids working together on sharing the beads they were using during the craft time. The beads were used to make the words they wanted for their bracelets. The boys were so proud and hot on the trails to find the letters S, C and R to spell the word soccer and the girls were looking for the letters B and F for ‘best friends forever.’

At the end of the program, the kids had the opportunity to choose a free book to take home. Their smiles said it all!”

Einstein Principal Melissa Pointer said the summer school program is one of many things Einstein does to ensure that all students leave the school prepared for middle school.

In addition to this program, they offer before- and after-school instruction for

...TODAY’S parent

Are you a helicopter parent?

Research says it usually backfires

By Patti Skelton-McGougan Special to the Reporter

We all want our children to succeed, but sometimes as parents we can be overly involved in our children’s’ lives.

We don’t want them to get hurt or experience pain so we “overparent,” also known as helicopter parenting.

“The result is that kids get out into the real

world, and they don’t know what to do or can’t handle it,” says Caron McCune, a counselor with Youth Eastside Services. In fact, research recently released

by University of Arizona Professor Chris Segrin found that children raised by helicopter parents tend to have fewer coping skills.

Helicopter parenting, or overparenting isn’t about being con-

cerned and active in your child’s life — that is normal and healthy.

It becomes problematic when parents begin doing things for children that they should be doing for themselves or when parents become overprotective and don’t allow their children to grow and experience normal activities.

Often times, overparenting stems from a desire to calm parental anxieties — it’s no wonder, with news of school shootings, child abductions and other horrible events. McCune points out that often times that overprotectiveness can rub off on the child, who in turn becomes anxious.

“Young kids can become anxious, and

that you don’t trust him or her. This can lead to lower self-esteem or an expectation that problems always will be solved by you.

Studies have also shown that helicopter parents are less likely to be satisfied with family communication and connection. Segrin’s team found that open communication and fewer instances of authoritarian parenting result in more balanced family dynamics.

So the next time you move in to solve a problem for your child, or think they can’t handle a responsibility, stop and think about whether you are overparenting, and try to find ways to let your child grow and learn so they can manage when you aren’t there.

they don’t even know why,” says McCune, “while older kids get angry, rebel and stop telling you what’s going on.” She recommends parents try to calm their own anxieties and assess the true risks for their children.

The truth is as much as we want to protect them, all children will face hurts and adversity.

It provides more protection in the long run if kids learn how to deal with those painful moments or risky experiences as they grow.

Instead of offering advice or solving problems for your child, empower kids to solve their own problem and offer support when they need it. For example, if you are concerned about a grade your son received on a test or project, don’t pick

up the phone and talk to the teacher — talk with your son. If there is a problem, encourage him to solve it with leading questions such as: “Did you talk with your teacher about your concerns? What could you say to help your teacher understand?” Of course responsibility has to be age appropriate.

You may have to offer to help a younger child talk with a teacher, while a teenager should be able to handle such a task alone.

McCune reminds us that responsibilities with bigger risks and consequences come with age, such as taking the bus or driving. Before you say “no” or move into helicopter parenting mode, stop and think about what you are trying to achieve and make efforts to help your child be safe or check-in.

If you refuse to let your child grow and take on more responsibility, it sends the message

From playing basketball to painting a picture to cutting with scissors, motor skills are at the basis of all of our movements.

And while these abilities may be innate, fine motor skills must be developed and refined through practice. Experts say it’s crucial for parents to offer children opportunities to reinforce these vital skills.

“From school work to play time, a mastery of motor skills will make a child’s experiences more productive and enjoyable,” says Dr. Helen Boehm, psychologist and consultant for VTech, a maker of age-appropriate and developmental stagebased electronic learning products for children.

“Parents can play a role in helping their children learn these skills.”

And while it may sound like work, motor skill development can be fun, says Boehm. Here are some helpful hints for parents on how play and motor skill development can go hand in hand:

From indoor fun to outside adventure, offer children opportunities to build valuable motor skills.

Redmond High Cross Country Spotlight

Mustang boys and girls runners on track for more success “(I’m) getting in all the recovery runs, not just the quality days, making sure my mileage is up and also doing strength training at the gym and swimming and biking some. I definitely think it’s worth it.”

Like Aebi, she said that Villeneuve’s stories inspire her to do well on the course.

As Redmond’s girls prepare for meets that may lead them to yet another state berth, Villeneuve notes one of the reasons why the girls have found success over the last 12 years: “Girls bond a little bit more than the boys, so if I can get them to do that then they usually have the gumption to get themselves qualified for state.”

From left, Mekenna Mossman, Alyssa Foster, Kelsey Dunn and Megan LeGresley run around the Redmond High track on Tuesday afternoon during cross country practice. photos by andy nystrom, Redmond Reporter anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Coach Denis Villeneuve stood at the podium and looked out at the roomful of cross country runners with an air of confidence. He was ready to share a personal side of himself, and he wasn’t going to hold anything back when telling the Redmond High athletes about the first marathon he tackled at age 18 in Eugene, Ore. The Mustang coach spoke of the pain he endured while participating in that race. He dug down deep and finished the race, and he wanted the young runners to learn from his experience.

“If you’re determined, you’ll be successful,” he told the runners on Tuesday afternoon.

A few minutes later, he told the Reporter: “We try to teach them the healthy mind-body connection. Obviously, we want them to run well, but we want them to do well in life.

We want them to like running and be a healthy lifelong runner, and if we have success along the way, that’s a bonus.”

Both the Mustang boys and girls return to the course this season on a high after compiling identical 6-0 records and winning 4A Kingco Crest Division titles last year. The girls took fourth at districts while the boys took seventh — and the girls rolled on to the state meet for the 12th consecutive year and notched a seventhplace finish.

Redmond’s season begins tomorrow at the Tahoma Relays at Lake Wilderness State Park in Maple Valley, and then the Mustangs will compete at the Kingco preview on Sept. 12 at Lincoln Park in West Seattle.

Two of Redmond’s top returners will be senior Carter Aebi and junior Megan LeGresley, both of whom took first in the boys and girls divisions at the Mustangs’ recent fundraiser 5K at Hartman Park. Aebi

finished in 17 minutes, four seconds and LeGresley broke the girls’ course record in 18 minutes, 47 seconds.

Aebi’s goal is to break the 16-minute the mark in the 5K this season.

“I’ve also been doing strength training. I’ve really

push each other,” the coach said. He added that Young — whose older brother and sister, Will and Holly, were Redmond team captains — has built herself into a solid runner over the last few years, as well.

LeGresley has been running since seventh grade when her dad encouraged her to give it a shot. Being a premier soccer player, she thrived in the new sport.

She’s dedicated herself to Mustang cross country over the years.

“I’ve just been trying to follow the training program as best I can and I’m really working on trying to get stronger this year, so hopefully I can help my team make it back to state this year,” LeGresley said.

been trying to focus more on my upper body, too, because I’ve been pretty skinny,” said Aebi, adding that he worked hard in the offseason, as well.

He’s been running cross country since the ninth grade and feels that Villeneuve’s motivational stories can help carry him to success this season.

“I just love that moment after the race when you hear that PR (personal record) time — it’s a really good feeling,” said Aebi, who is joined by fellow senior captain Zach Kirwan at the top of the Mustang roster this season.

On the girls’ side, senior captains Kelsey Dunn and Claira Young join LeGresley as returners from last year’s state squad.

According to Villeneuve, Dunn and LeGresley are in top form and are smart, competitive runners.

Veteran local play-by-play announcer Gary Hill will be the voice of Kingco football.

Former Bothell High quarterback Tony Gardiner will join Hill in the press box as color commentator.

“We’re pleased to have Gary behind the microphone for us. He’s covered a lot of football in his relatively short career, and this year he’s been outstanding as a fill in play-by-play announcer with the Mariners,” stated Mark Mininger, president and general manager of Pioneer Sports, “and Tony’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the game, and of the Kingco league, will add a lot of depth and excitement to each broadcast.”

Marc Kaye, general manager, KKNW Radio said, “We’ve been committed to local sports for a long time. Kingco football will be a nice addition to our Friday lineup. Plus, we’ve

worked with Pioneer Sports and Gary Hill and know the broadcasts are going to sound great.”

Kingco is the largest and one of the most successful football conferences in the state and boasts a huge fan following. The high schools include Ballard, Bellevue, Bothell, Eastlake, Garfield, Inglemoor, Interlake, Issaquah, Juanita, Lake Washington, Liberty, Mercer Island, Mount Si, Newport, Redmond, Roosevelt, Sammamish, Skyline and Woodinville.

Hill said, “The more we’ve researched the talent and commitment of these student-athletes (and their coaches), we’ve grown inspired, and we hope to pass that along to the listening audience. The Kingco Conference is one of the best in the country and I am thrilled to be a part of the broadcasts.”

His brother, who was on the fateful journey, attended Redmond High School

By RAECHEL DAWSON Reporter Newspapers

Author Larry Edwards does not believe his parents died the way his brother said they did.

Neither do his sisters, nor the FBI. More than 30 years ago, the Kirkland couple’s mysterious deaths were front page news - a sensationalized story with some inaccuracies. But Edwards, an award-winning journalist himself, reveals new information in his recently published nonfiction book “Dare I Call it Murder? - A Memoir of Violent Loss.”

Written from his own perspective, Larry Edwards delivers evidence from the official FBI investigation report, while noting extreme inconsistencies in “witness” accounts throughout nearly 300 pages of how Loren and Jody (Joanne) Edwards died aboard their sailboat in the South Pacific Ocean in 1978.

The couple, along with their children Gary Edwards — who attended Redmond High School —

and Kerry Edwards, and family friend Lori Huey Oskam started their journey to French Polynesia in 1977. As a Kirkland carpenter for 25 years, it was Loren Edwards’s dream to build the bright yellow Spellbound (with “Kirkland, Washington” on the stern), and go on an adventure with his family.

Larry Edwards, who grew up in the Juanita neighborhood and graduated from Lake Washington High School in 1967, had planned to go on the trip but reconsidered when his brother came aboard. The two often argued.

However, a few months later, Larry Edwards received a call: His father was dead and his sister had a bleeding, fractured skull with a concussion. Later, he discovered his step-mother, whom he considered a mother, was also dead. He immediately flew to Tahiti.

Gary Edwards told the FBI, and numerous reporters that his dad fell and hit his head on one of the spokes of the steering wheel

– a conflicting story from what he told radio dispatch.

His mother later committed suicide because of her husband’s death, he said.

By Gary Edwards’s account, he, Oskam and Kerry Edwards buried the bodies at sea because it could have been a week before they got to land and the bodies would decompose by that time - an assertion the author later debunks after obtaining a copy of the FBI report.

Kerry Edwards claimed to only know what her brother told her, and she couldn’t remember how she attained a head injury.

Oskam said she was asleep the whole time and only knew of Gary Edward’s story. Skeptical, investigators named Gary Edwards the prime suspect but he was never charged, despite compelling testimony.

Another peculiar fact the author noted: Gary Edwards signed a movie contract before he returned to the U.S., after his parents’ death. [ more BOOK page 20 ]

[ BOOK from page 19] The U.S. attorney never prosecuted Gary Edwards due, in part, to the lack of forensic evidence – the bodies were dumped over the side of the boat – and he did not want to risk incurring jeopardy, Larry Edwards said.

Larry Edwards continued to have hope, as there is no statute of limitations for murder. But he had even more questions after Kerry Edwards got her memory back.

“My sister [alleged] under oath that my brother assaulted and raped her,” said San Diego resident Larry Edwards in an email, “and her subsequent comments to me directly contradict many things she and my brother said in the days and weeks following our parents’ deaths.”

The conflicting information compelled Larry Edwards and his two other sisters, who were not on the Spellbound, to file a slayer petition in probate court in 1980, more than two years after their parents’ deaths.

But Gary Edwards never defended himself in court, telling the media he was innocent and that the “tragedy must be put behind us.”

“My intent was my brother and sister [Kerry] would testify and deny my allega-

tions but my brother did not contest it,” Larry Edwards said.

After years of unanswered questions on the case, which is now “cold,” the author was able to meet with an anonymous FBI agent in 2002 – 26 years after his parents’ deaths.

He recounts the meeting in his book: “’Kerry told me that she and Gary had been having sex,’ [the FBI agent] said. ‘It probably began before they left San Diego.

Possibly even earlier than that, when Gary returned from the Army.’”

The book details the meeting in which the FBI agent said Kerry Edwards confided in him and claimed she had a sexual relationship with Gary Edwards, her halfbrother, and the reason he allegedly sexually assaulted her that fatal night was because she wanted to stop the “sexual tryst.”

“He came to her one night and wanted to have sex and she refused and [allegedly] said ‘this is over, we’re not doing this anymore,’” said Larry Edwards. “This is when she said he attacked and raped her. Her moaning and cries awoke my parents and, shortly after, they were dead.”

After being at the forefront of the FBI investigation, writing 35-years-worth of journal entries, filing the slayer petition in probate court and combing through his parents’ journals, news articles and the official FBI report, Larry Edwards still believes there is missing information only his brother and sister know.

From left, Harry Terhanian, Menka Soni, Latha Sambamurti and John Stilin at the grand opening of Ravishing Women Marketplace. Courtesy photo Two weeks after the Ananda Mela festival, an Indian fashion boutique has come to Redmond downtown.

On Aug. 10, Ravishing Women Marketplace at 16540 Redmond Way had its grand opening. The store sells Indian fashion clothing, designer wear for men, women and kids, jewelry, accessories and home décor items.

Owner and mother of two Menka Soni, who works full time in the IT department of the Snohomish public utility, got the idea for the business when at home with her second child.

She saw it as a means to promote and help female entrepreneurs.

Soni chose Redmond as the site of her business on the strength of such factors as the Ananda Mela festival, Redmond’s growing South

Asian population and the familiarity Redmond residents have with elements of Indian art and culture.

Ravishing Women’s mission is to support female entrepreneurs and artists by helping them grow in their business. The store will provide them opportunities to showcase their products and promote their business by addressing many of the challenges they face such as insufficient funding, training, marketing and balancing business with family.

Soni has plans to expand her business to include such services such as a salon, a spa and a henna parlor, among others. Her vision is to transform her business eventually into a nonprofit and fair trade organization.

Redmond City Coun-

cil member John Stilin and Vedic Cultural Center President and Ananda Mela visionary Harry Terhanian were special guests at the grand opening.

Stilin, welcoming the business to Redmond, said successful people enrich their communities by sharing their knowledge and hoped the boutique would introduce men and women of non-Indian origin to the style, fashion and arts of India.

Tehranian applauded Ravishing Women for its desire to help women, especially homemakers, succeed in their entrepreneurial efforts by giving them opportunities to evolve, channel and expand their creativity. Ravishing Women Marketplace is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

U.S. Bank — which has three Redmond locations — has been named one of the Puget Sound Business Journal’s Washington’s Best Workplaces for 2013.

The Puget Sound Business Journal identifies and celebrates the state’s best workplaces through employee surveys. The rankings in Washington’s Best Workplaces are based on employee opinions about company leadership, career growth and development, pay and benefits, recognition and other factors.

“It is a great honor to be recognized as one of Washington’s Best Workplaces,” said Chris Heman, president of U.S. Bank in Washington state. “U.S. Bank is committed to creating a workplace where employees are fully engaged in serving our customers and communities, which helps improve the quality of life for everyone.”

The survey was admin-

istered, and information collected and analyzed

by Quantum Workplace, which manages Best Places to Work in partnership with American City Business Journals and various other organizations, such as associations, chambers of commerce and corporate sponsors. This year, 334 companies were nominated and 85 companies were named finalists in all categories.

To qualify for Washington’s Best Workplaces, companies must be at least 4 years old and have a minimum of 10 full-time employees in Washington.

U.S. Bank operates 185 branches and employs more than 2,400 people in Washington. Statewide, U.S. Bank provided more than $2.4 million in contributions to the community last year and is the proud sponsor of many organizations and events throughout Washington.

State Rep. Ross Hunter of Medina (48th District) recently earned the “Champion of Early Learning” honor from the Children’s Alliance, a statewide organization that advocates for ensuring all kids in Washington are safe and healthy.

“I’m extremely appreciative of this honor from the Children’s Alliance,” said Hunter. “More investment in early learning, restoration of cuts to Apple Health, and our participation in Medicaid expansion were major victories for all Washington residents this year.”

As chair of the House Appropriations committee, Hunter was a strong advocate for increased funding for the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). The Legislature allocated an additional $22 million in EACEAP funding, which will help 1,700 more low-income 3- and 4-yearolds get a quality jumpstart on their education.

ECEAP students are generally healthier, more likely to graduate high school, and more likely to be employed as an adult. They are also less likely to repeat grades or cross over to the criminal justice system according to the Washington State Department of Early Learning.

Hunter was also recognized his efforts to restore funding for Apple Health, a statewide program to help ensure all Washington children have health care coverage.

“Representative Hunter knows that early learning is a proven means of closing the educational opportunity gap,” said Jon Gould, deputy director of the Children’s Alliance. “He successfully worked in the 2013 legislative session to expand access to early learning for children in low income families. In order to meet Washington’s constitutional obligation of a basic education for all children, policymakers will need to continue to invest in all of Washington’s youngest learners.”

The Children’s Alliance also honored lawmakers for their efforts to end child hunger and improve children’s health.
