Wildlife crossing nears completion

Musical trifecta

SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Animals on Redmond Ridge in unincorporated King County will soon have a new route to travel across Northeast Novelty Hill Road as the area’s new wildlife crossing nears completion.

Most of the crossing’s main structure is done and construction is expected to be finished in the next few months.

Rick Brater, a road engineer for King County, said they are looking to be done by the end of the year, but there will still be some planting to do. However, the latter will depend on the weather during the winter, so they may have to wait until spring, he said.

The 40-foot-wide crossing is an elevated bridge stretching 120 feet across Northeast Novelty Hill Road between Redmond

Blondie, X and Vedder: On Tuesday night, the band X marked the spot, top, with singer Exene Cervenka and guest Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam sharing vocals on “Devil Doll” during its opening set at AEG Live’s Marymoor Park Concert Series. Blondie headlined the show and featured singer Debbie Harry and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen. The crowd sang, danced and pogoed during both bands’ sets.

Ridge Drive Northeast and 234th Place Northeast. Like a standard overpass, the bridge has a clearance of 16 and a half feet and Brater said they have left room underneath in case the two-lane road is widened into four lanes in the future.

There will also be 1,000 feet of fence on each side of the road — stretching 500 feet in each direction from the bridge — to lead the animals toward the bridge in order to cross the road. The vegetation that will be planted along the bridge, Brater said, will help create a barrier between the animals and vehicles as well as a seamless, natural transition from one side of the road to the other.

Brater said, thankfully, they haven’t had a major vehicle-animal accident yet, and with more than 20,000 cars on the road each day, [ more BRIDGE page 5 ]

Hugo’s offers Kitchen Conversation series to discuss Initiative 522 SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Every Tuesday through Oct. 29, Hugo’s Restaurant at 8110 164th Ave. N.E. in downtown Redmond is hosting a Kitchen Conversation series to give people the opportunity to learn more about Initiative 522.

If passed, the initiative — which will be on the Nov. 5 ballot — notes all food found in grocery stores would be required to have a label on the packaging if it contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The measure

would not apply to food on a restaurant menu.

The talks at Hugo’s will be at 3:30 p.m. every week and are in partnership with the Yes on 522 campaign.

Teri Sahm, the restaurant’s general manager/food and beverage, said with a restaurant focused on serving organic, gluten-free, soy-free and cowmilk dairy-free dishes, I-522 lined up with their philosophy. She also said it is important for consumers to know about what is in their food and make informed choices.

“We contacted (Yes on 522) because

it’s something we believe in,” Sahm said. “People need to know if something contains GMOs.” The talks will be open forums led

by Jeremy Zegas, outreach director for Yes on 522, discussing why GMO labeling is important and what it means to people. People can reserve a space for the events by emailing livehealthy eatorganic@gmail.com or calling (425) 298-4084. Hugo’s will be providing complimentary appetizers and ionized/alkalized water at the events.

Liquor Control Board to file single revision to marijuana rules The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) announced today that it will file an emergency rule on Oct. 16 to make a single technical revision to the recreational marijuana rules.

Overlake Medical Center offers free health screenings for Eastside Vitality Health Month Overlake Medical Center and its clinics will offer free health screenings, cardiac and diabetes risk assessments and speak directly with physicians this month during Overlake’s second annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

There will be community health fairs from 8-11 a.m. on: • Tomorrow at Overlake Medical Clinics Redmond (Redmond Town Center: 16315 N.E. 74th St.) • Sept. 28 at Overlake Medical Center Main Campus in Bellevue (1135 116th Ave. N.E., Suite #110) “We are committed to keeping our community healthy.

or secondary school, playground, recreation center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, library or arcade where admission is not restricted to those age 21 and older. The emergency rule will not affect the Initiative 502 implementation timeline.

Earlier this month, the WSLCB allocated a maximum of 334 retail outlets statewide, including two

in Redmond and 61 in King County overall.

The current proposed rules filed with the code reviser on Sept. 4 state “the distance shall be measured along the most direct route over or across established public walks, streets, or other public passageway between the proposed building/business location to the perimeter of the grounds.”

The emergency rule

will state: “The distance shall be measured as the shortest straight line distance from the property line of the licensed premises to the property line of the entities listed below…”

“The current measurement mirrors the existing method of measurement between liquor-licensed businesses and schools,” said agency director Rick Garza. “We’ve since learned that this mea-

surement, as it pertains to marijuana, conflicts with federal law. Although the emergency rule won’t be filed until Oct. 16, it is critical that we announce our intentions now so that potential licensees, local government and law enforcement will have clarity and predictability going forward.”

The I-502 timeline includes: public hearings on permanent rules in Seattle (Oct. 8) and

Spokane (Oct. 9); board adoption of permanent rules, including the emergency rule on the 1,000foot measurement (Oct. 16); permanent rules become effective (Nov. 16); emergency rule on the 1,000-foot measurement becomes effective (Nov. 17); the WSLCB begins taking applications — 30-day window (Nov. 18); and deadline for adopting I-502 rules (Dec. 1).

‘You can dream — and dream big,’ says new U.S. citizen We’ve all had our monumental days: weddings, births of children, graduation days... the list goes on.

They’re emotional moments to say the least.

On Tuesday, 47 local immigrants from 21 countries — including a Redmond family from South Africa and a local resident from Nepal — experienced some heartwarming moments when they were sworn in as United States citizens at a naturalization ceremony at Bellevue City Hall.

“I feel very privileged. It’s a very emotional feeling. It’s been a long road and I feel a sense of pride and joy,” said Enez McCondochie, 43, who is from South Africa.

She became an American citizen along with her husband Ian, 46, and son Michael, 24.

Rajesh Maskara from Nepal was also sworn in on Tuesday.

“He came here to study in Tennessee. He was so drawn to the friendliness of Americans, it made him want to stay. Now he’s a software engineering manager at Microsoft,” said Sharon Rummery, the public affairs officer for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Enez, who works at a Microsoft joint venture on medical applications, moved to New York from Secunda, South Africa, in 2002 with her family to work in software design and never looked back.

They moved to their current home on Education Hill in 2006.

“I love Redmond. I love the trails we have. I love the small businesses and the sense of community,” Enez said.

She’s an official U.S. citizen now, but she noted that the naturalization process took a long time: about four years to a get a green card and then about five more years before Tuesday’s ceremony.

It was all worth the wait, she said.

Use freedoms wisely Recently, I spent a great day with my 14-year-old grandson. Before having dinner I decided to run in to Bellevue Square.

Just outside the mall was a stand set up with

signs wanting the impeachment of President Obama.

I had no problem with their message. That is their opinion, which I may not agree, but respect. What I found to be very distressing was the look on my grandson’s face when he saw a Hitler-like mustache painted on the president.

Yes, They have freedom of speech on the president.

Yes, They have freedom of speech and expression. They also have no respect, as to equate an American leader with a monster such as Hitler, responsible for the killing of six million people.

I wonder sometimes if we, as Americans, abuse our freedoms. Maybe a little more time should be spent by parents and schools to teach our children how to use the Constitution in a more positive way.

Jean Rothman, Bellevue

Public ignored in Syria talk What I find most disturbing in discus-

sions about bombing Syria is how much the concerns and advice from the public is being ignored.

The media is being very one-sided in presenting the views of the president and Congress, while only giving lip service to the views and concerns of the public most of whom are against the U.S. getting involved in yet another conflict.

I was totally against Bush’s war on Iraq. As time has shown, I was more right about the situations than the media and politicians who started an unnecessary conflict for which we and the people of Iraq are still paying for them in blood and we in tax dollars. Those dollars should be going to resolve problems in our own country.

Why are the powers to be in this country so obsessed with getting involved in the affairs of other countries while not dealing with our problems is what we all should be asking?

Redmond resident asks for ‘Deer Crossing’ sign after accidents SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Although certain parts of the Eastside have been designated as high-density areas and the region’s natural environment has been altered to accommodate this growth, the local humans are still sharing space with the local animals.

And when the two worlds meet, it can be dangerous — for either party.

[ BRIDGE from page 1] the crossing is a safety project designed to keep it that way, separating wildlife from vehicles.

“It’s an accident-reduction project,” Brater said.

He said crossings have been built throughout the country in states such as Arizona, Florida, Colorado and North Carolina and they have proven to be very successful.

The community’s response to the project has been mixed.

Brater said they have done some public presentations, including one at Trilogy at Redmond Ridge in which more than 150 people attended. For the most part, people supported the wildlife crossing, but there were some people who were against it, he said.

The Redmond Reporter put a call out on its Facebook page, asking com-

This summer, the cities of Redmond and Bellevue saw just how dangerous.

In the span of two weeks, the cities saw two car accidents that killed two deer along the city line.

The first accident occurred on July 25 in the 2600 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast in Redmond and involved a fawn, while the second occurred on Aug. 10 in the 17100 block of

Northeast 24th Street in Bellevue and involved a doe.

After the two accidents, Redmond resident Laura Spalart, who lives nearby, has become concerned about the possibility of future collisions. She said the speed limit of 35 mph is “far too high” for the narrow and winding road, which has poor visibility due to the natural overgrowth and low tree canopy.

munity members what they thought about the wildlife crossing.

Ian McCaffrey of Redmond called the bridge a “huge waste of money.”

“I’ve lived on Novelty Hill/Union Hill for over 25 years and I can only recall seeing one deer get hit in that area where the bridge is being built,” he said.

McCaffrey said tax dollars should be used to widen the road to relieve traffic congestion.

The $5.5 million project is fully funded by a federal grant through the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).

“I realize the project is federally funded, so there’s no fault to (King County), but I would much prefer that the money was used to fund something that was actually needed and useful,”

said Kerry O’Leary.

While citing a Reporter story from April 2012, which states there have been six deer collisions since 1999 and two cougar collisions since 2004 but only 70 percent of vehicleanimal collisions are reported, Charlie Tillinghast of Woodinville said the numbers for the project do not make sense. He said if the crossing saves 100 animals over the course of 50 years, it will cost $60,000 per animal.

“I am all for saving wildlife, but imagine how many acres of habitat could have been purchased before the development of Redmond Ridge with $6 million,” he said. “Enough habitat to support more than two additional large animals per year. This project is a tragic waste of tax dollars even for the most ardent supporters of wild land and wildlife.”

Spalart, who has lived in the area for about 21 years altogether, said she would like to see a “Deer Crossing” sign somewhere along the road to warn drivers of the possible danger. She contacted the Washington State Department of Transportation but was told the road is out of their jurisdiction because it is city road. So she contacted both the cities of Bellevue and Redmond as well as the

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. However, she said, no agency has stepped up to do anything to mitigate.

“I think hitting a deer also poses a threat to humans,” she said about why she would like to see a sign installed. “People are killed hitting deer.”

Spalart said the addition of deer in their neighborhood has been a recent development.

“I had never seen deer until four or five years ago,” she said.

Ron Grant, interim director for the City of Redmond’s Public Works Department, said it is generally acknowledged by those in the transportation profession that “roadway warning signs are most effective when they alert the driver to an obvious danger” such as a “Curve Ahead” sign.

New fire department chief has a heavy workload Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Although Tommy Smith had been in charge of a fire department three times as big as the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) before coming to the city, the new fire chief ’s workload has not changed much.

The former interim fire chief for the Colorado Springs Fire Department in Colorado Springs, Colo. said going from a department with 21 fire stations and almost 500 employees to one with only seven stations and about 160 employees has not changed how busy his job keeps him.

“What I’m finding out is the load and the pace is just as fast,” Smith said about coming to the City of Redmond.

Smith, who has been at work for a little more than two weeks, said things in Redmond are a little bit more complex than in Colorado Springs because it is more of a regional approach to emergency response. Collaborating with and supporting agencies from other jurisdictions adds another layer of complexity to the job that he didn’t have in Colorado Springs, where that city was bigger and had more resources to respond to an emergency without the assistance of other agencies unless it was on a larger scale or on the outskirts of town.

Smith has spent part of his time going out to all of the fire stations in town to meet his employees, introduce himself and discuss his expectations with them.

“It’s been great,” he said about meeting all the different crews.

Smith has been to all seven stations but not all of the shifts, so he still hasn’t

the works regarding GMO labeling.

“To me, it just makes sense to want to know what you’re eating,” said Fall City resident Sue Heaps, who attended the talk at Hugo’s on Tuesday.

She said she became interested in I-522 because she likes to be conscientious of what she is eating.

“It seems so simple,” Heaps said about labeling food, although she acknowledged her

The plan will act as a guide with goals for what they aim to provide for the community as the public safety branch of Redmond’s government.

Jeri Rowe-Curtis, chief communications officer for the City of Redmond, said while fire and police have distinct functions within the community, they also have similar functions in solving problems, public safety and protecting the community.

“I think having a shared vision for that strategic plan…makes sense,” she said. “Coordination makes sense, because though the tactics are differ-

thoughts may just be because she supports the initiative.

Dana Bieber, spokesperson for the No on 522 coalition, said the initiative is not simple and does not provide consumers with meaningful information.

For example, cheese is exempt from the labeling but does contain a genetically engineered enzyme. Conversely, Bieber said refined sugar made from the sugar beet would be

ent for police and fire, the ‘all-hazards’ approach for Redmond means that both departments have a significant and coordinated role in keeping the community safe.”

Rowe-Curtis said this is the fire department’s master plan that goes back to 1990, but the police department has not had one before this. So in addition to a first-time partnership between the two departments, this is also a firsttime plan for the police department.

“That’s where consumers are being misled,” she said.

“It fails on its fundamental promise of giving information to consumers. Instead, it gives misinformation to consumers.”

Bieber said GMO labeling is unnecessary because there are already labels for organic and

non-GMO foods, which are 100 percent reliable.

She added that if I-522 were to pass, it would cost families at least $450 a year on increased prices for groceries.

No on 522 has a number of supporters from out of state, but Bieber said one in-state supporter is the Washington State Farm Bureau.

“Our farmers know (I-522) hurts them,” she said, because it puts a large burden on them.

A unique method with benefits for today, and for life.

UW receives $1.7M found gift from Microsoft for new tech policy lab and Microsoft Corporate Vice President and Head of Microsoft Research, Peter Lee in announcing the company’s founding gift.

The new Tech Policy Lab brings together experts from the UW School of Law, Information School and Computer Science and Engineering and serves as an intellectual hub and resource center for both policymakers and technologists. Research will focus on complex policy issues emerging from 21st century technology, including online privacy, piracy, big data, public records access and wearable technology and on improving

Redmond 4-H speakers win big at state event

Redmond Better Basics 4-H club Washington State Fair blue-ribbon winners are: pictured from left to right, Theresa Barr, Zach Bircher, Jenny Stolarczuk, Faith Walter and Johann deVilliers. Courtesy photo Five members of the Redmond Better Basics 4-H club won blue ribbons in the 4-H Public Presentations event at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup on Sept. 10.

They are Zach Bircher, 14, Redmond; Jenny Stolarczuk, 12, Redmond; Theresa Barr, 10, Redmond; Faith Walter, 10, Redmond; and Johann deVilliers, 9, Woodinville.

In addition to her blue award, Walter also earned a Special Merit Award. Given to only a select few each year, the Special Merit Award honors a speaker whose presentation is deemed by the judges to be outstanding.

Redmond Better Basics is the only 4-H club in Redmond. Its main projects

are robotics, public presentations and community service. Members may design independent projects in virtually any area that interests them — from chickens and knitting to mechanical science entrepreneurship.

4-H is the youth development education program of Washington State University Extension. WSU Extension is a collaboration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, WSU as the state land grant university and King County Government.

Children may join 4-H at age 5 and remain active until they are 19.

technology policy outcomes.

“In a nation where technology moves at an ever-rapid rate, policymakers can lack the technical knowledge they need to address how networks, devices and software operate. So the lab’s deeply interdisciplinary approach to addressing these issues marks a creative, critical step forward,” said Ryan Calo, assistant professor at the UW’s School of Law and one of the lab’s three founding directors.

The other two founding directors are associate professor Tadayoshi Kohno from Computer Science and Engineering and professor Batya Friedman

from the Information School.

Lab teams made up of both students and faculty will identify, test and examine new technologies in order to provide policymakers with a rigorous research base and evidence-based recommendations for decision-making.

“Right now, technology shoots ahead, often leaving a huge policy vacuum and then policymakers run to catch up,” said Friedman. “How do we figure out how to co-evolve technology and policy so that we don’t experience these vacuums? It’s a fascinating challenge.”

To address these and

it comes to placing signs regarding animal crossings. Before placing a sign, she said they will usually monitor strikes over several years to try to determine whether the area is a well-used wildlife corridor.

“Generally, we don’t sign unless there is a known migration route,” Stibbard said.

She added that another reason they pause before installing a sign is that there are federal guidelines for signs. Stibbard said they don’t want to post too many and have “sign pollution” because people will stop paying attention.

“Unfortunately, people forget about them,” she said.

“They just don’t see signs.”

Stibbard couldn’t say how much a “Deer Crossing” costs, but said the price to put up a sign ranges and depends on various factors. For example, she said a memorial sign — usually located along a road where someone has died in some sort of crash — ranges from about $200$250. She added that if they were to get a “Deer Crossing” sign for the area, the city where the sign is posted would pay for it.

“The use of warning signs that alert drivers to infrequent encounters or possible situations (such as ‘Deer Crossing’ or ‘Slow Children’) do not have a consistent impact on driver behavior,” he said.

Grant said research has shown that “Deer Crossing” signs do not have a consistent impact on driver behavior or reduce deer-vehicle collisions, which is why the city and other surrounding communities do not install such signs.

He added that Redmond is an area with a lot of wildlife and “we cannot keep them from crossing roadways or predict where they may enter a roadway at any given time.”

“There are many potential areas within the city where deer may be present and it would be impossible for us to install signs at all of these locations,” Grant said. “In addition, deer are migratory and will likely move to new areas throughout the year.”

Hillary Stibbard, a traffic engineering manager for the City of Bellevue, said they work with the Department of Fish and Wildlife when

related questions, the founding directors hope to create publications, training sessions and suites of tools to enable policymakers to better understand what the technological implications of regulatory decisions might be. Reciprocally, the lab will help technologists understand how their technical decisions interact with current policies and provide tools to support dialog between technologists and policymakers. The lab will also service legislative staffers, academics, counsel and press working on technology issues.

“The brilliance of this lab — perhaps the first of its kind in

the world — lies in bringing computer scientists and engineers together with legal and policy experts to help improve technology policy,” said Smith.

“The Tech Policy Lab will help policymakers keep up with the pace of technical innovation.”

Kohno added, “Very often you have computer scientists focused only on technology, legal scholars focused only on policy and social scientists focused only on social issues.

Very rarely do you get all three types of people in the same lab working together to solve important problems for our society.”

‘Thrill the World’ coming to Redmond Town Center on Oct. 26 For the past four years, every October, zombies of all ages have gathered at Redmond Town Center, laid down in the streets “playing dead,” then slowly gotten up (to the beat of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”), and began a worldwide flash mob dance simulcast with other “Thrill the World” locations such as London, Sydney, Tokyo, Helsinki, New York and Brazil.

The event this year will be at 2 p.m. on Oct. 26.

Classes to learn the “Thriller” dance begin Saturday at the Redmond Senior Center at 8703 160th Ave. N.E. There is a fee to learn this dance — with a portion of the proceeds

going toward SecondStory Repertory, a nonprofit theater in the town center.

Two-hour dance workshops (for ages 8 to 80) are $5. It takes at least two classes to learn how to dance like a zombie. To reserve a spot in the workshops, call (425) 556-2314.

Blondie, X rip it up at Marymoor anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Several songs into X’s set on Tuesday night at Marymoor Park, bassist/singer John Doe gave a nod to the Redmond area.

“Thanks to Blondie for bringing us out here amongst the greenery,” he told the crowd before the band launched into “Breathless” and got several of the attendees pogoing and singing the words up near the front of the stage.

The pioneering Los Angeles punk band, which got its start in the dingy Masque club in 1977, kicked off the evening with a gritty 45-minute set that began with “Your Phone’s Off the Hook, But You’re Not” from its debut album and closed with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder taking the stage to add vocals to the ripping “Devil Doll” from its fourth album “More Fun in the New World.” (Vedder also joined X for “The New World” earlier in the set as the crowd cheered in approval.)

All the classic X trademarks were present: Vocalist Exene Cervenka swaying to the beat while intensely belting out the tunes; Doe strutting across the stage and singing lead and harmonies with his former wife; guitarist Billy Zoom smiling away as he knocked out riff after riff; and drummer D.J. Bonebrake pounding away with precision.

Other standout tracks in the 16-song set included “Nausea,” “Los Angeles” and “White Girl.” While the band was on point most of the time, there were some slip ups on vocals and guitar, but the band powered through to the end.

When it was Blondie’s turn, Debbie Harry and crew roared out of the gate with “One Way or Another” from its best album “Parallel Lines” from 1978 and rolled through its string of hits during its 105-minute set. On the docket: “The Tide is High,” “Rapture,” “Atomic,” “Heart of Glass,” “Call Me” and the finale “Dreaming.”

CONCERT REVIEW

Blondie’s Leigh Foxx, left, Clem Burke and Debbie Harry roll through their set on Tuesday night at Marymoor Park. Courtesy of Cat Rose Blondie began its career in the 1970s in clubs like CBGB’s in New York and its three original members present — Harry, drummer extraordinaire Clem Burke and guitarist Chris Stein — proved they can still throw down with the best of them these days.

Harry pranced on stage wearing a wizard’s outfit and dark sunglasses and sang strong on the first few numbers. Her voice had its highs and lows the rest of the way, but she never stopped entertaining the crowd with her gutsy style, which included smiles, smirks, arm waves and boxer-like air punches.

She joked that she doesn’t have a “grungy” fashion sense, pointing to her slick

outfit that consisted of a black shirt, red tie, black leather mini skirt and thigh-high black leather boots, which she revealed before the band played “Maria” from the 1999 album “No Exit.” The band also chipped in with a new keyboard-flavored tune, “A Rose By Any Other Name.”

As the evening came to a close and “Dreaming” was the song of the moment, two fans took crowd participation to another level: One man ran across the stage before security escorted him away, and one woman in striped pants jumped up to Harry, gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek and bowed down to the singer after the band finished up.

...Healthy Living The sacroiliac joint (sak-roh-il-ee-ak, or sey-kroh-il-ee-ak), or SI joint for short, can be quite the back pain culprit.

It’s comprised of the edges of the sacrum

and the back part of the ilium, or pelvis — the “Mickey Mouse ears” in our hips. The sacrum is a triangular shaped bone, located just under our lumbar spine (vertebrae) and just above

our coccyx (tailbone).

Its main function is to provide stability in our hips, and considering our more mobile lumbar spine is just above the sacrum, it’s no wonder that it can be problematic — those upstairs neighbors are moving all

the time!

Generally, when this is the area needing help, clients will talk about very low back pain on both sides, or sometimes, very low back pain right in the middle of the body. Research shows that women are

Getting to know you: low back pain and your SI joint

more likely to suffer from sacroiliac discomfort (pregnant women especially, which isn’t a surprise considering the sacrum has to really shift during this time), but I’ve also seen plenty of men who come in with this type of pain.

Why does this cause so much pain?

Well, there are several reasons. We’ve all heard that we need to strengthen our core muscles to reduce back pain — when you have a strong core, it acts as a strap or brace for the other side of the body, holding the SI joint in place and reducing pain and discomfort felt in the low back. Another culprit is spending too much time in one spot — whether sitting or standing. The body is designed to be in motion, not stay static for too much time. Spending too much time in one spot causes stress and strain on muscles, [ more trina page 11 ]

which in turn can cause bones (and the ligaments that connect them) to move out of an optimal alignment, so when you do start moving again, you notice slight twinges at first, which slowly progress to constant pain if left untreated. And of course, almost any kind of trauma or injury can cause these structures to shift out of place.

What can I do to help it? Gentle seated twists can alleviate the pain — of course, if the pain gets worse, please stop immediately. This isn’t a “no pain, no gain” kind of joint.

Another stretch is a gentle forward bend, as far as is comfortable for you. Be sure to come up slowly out of this stretch, as well, so you don’t “shock” your system back to reality. I find it helps to take slow, deep breaths while stretching, and moving with the breath.

You can also look into getting an exercise ball to use instead of a chair at work — this will keep you moving and less prone to getting “stuck” in one spot for a prolonged period of time. If you must stand a lot at work, be sure to shift your weight wherever possible, and make sure you have excellent footwear that’s designed for the type of work you do. And, my favorite thing — an Epsom salt soak for about 20 minutes.

How can massage help SI joint issues? By treating the ligament that connects these two bones, your friendly neighborhood massage therapist can help the area stretch, loosen up, and move more freely. The surrounding structures should then be addressed — namely, all of the muscles involved with the low back area (glute medius, piriformis, erector spinae group, as well

as the other various sacral ligaments, to name just a few). A few sessions in a short period of time (usually, once or twice a week for three weeks) will help the body “learn” to stay in its new surroundings and back pain can be relieved, especially when you do your crucial part and stretch, soak, strengthen the core and change how you move your body.

Another incredibly helpful treatment is water exercise for acute back pain (or any joint pain really), as this helps to strengthen muscles without stressing joints.

And any exercise without stress is definitely good in my book!

We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

Redmond High girls soccer Spotlight

Defending league champions set to score big again Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Get the losses out of the way in the preseason and start netting crucial victories once the 4A Kingco season begins.

Redmond High senior co-captains Kelsey Costello and Marianna Castro said this jokingly during practice on Monday afternoon, but realistically, that’s what

andy nystrom, Redmond Reporter

they were faced with several games into their 2013 campaign.

The Mustangs began league play last night against Garfield High, after the Reporter’s deadline.

“Preseason is for experimenting. We’re seeing what works. When the season starts, that’s when we’ll get into it — we’ll pick it up,” said midfielder Costello, whose team was 1-2-1 in

the preseason.

Added goalkeeper Castro: “We had a really bad preseason last year, but once the season started is when we really cracked down and started to do what we needed to do.

That’s how we started winning all those games.”

It was a memorable, monumental year for Redmond in 2012.

The Mustangs compiled an 8-1-1 league record (11-5-2 overall) last season, notched the league championship with a 1-0 victory over highly favored Skyline and earned the No. 1 league seed to state (they lost to Curtis, 2-1, in the state opener). Sierra Bilginer’s goal off a Costello assist ended Skyline’s 37-match unbeaten streak and gave Redmond its first league crown in 21 years.

Costello’s eyes light up and she clenches her first a bit when saying that winning Kingco is an “indescribable” feeling. The team pulled together and worked hard to knock off Skyline. They want to be in the position to make an impact again this season and they hope to achieve that with talent and team camaraderie.

“Everybody loves an underdog. We had all the other high schools rooting for us to beat Skyline last year since they were No. 1, and beating them was the greatest feeling ever,” Castro said while smiling.

Castro added that the team is improving with each match this year and overcoming the loss of key graduates Bilginer (first team all-Kingco), Kristin Hayman and Andrea Larson (both second team all-Kingco).

Leading the way this season for coach Patrick Scheibe (19th season) are all-Kingco first-teamers [ more mustangs page 13 ]

Redmond High ran wild over Interlake High last Friday night with a 55-7 nonleague football victory.

The Mustangs — who led 35-7 at halftime — amassed 354 yards rushing and got three touchdowns from tailback Bryce Steckler (83, 12 and 11 yards), two from starting quarterback Zach Wheat (42 and 39 yards), one from backup quarterback A.J. Rial (14 yards) and one from running back Nick Konkle (6 yards).

Defender Jake Talbot also returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown and Nick Kopak converted seven PATs. Steckler ran the ball nine times for 156 yards and Wheat had eight carries for 155 yards. On the passing front, Wheat was 6-for-11 for 82 yards and Chris Carpenter caught four passes for 57 yards.

On defense, Talbot and Jonathan Kirschner had eight tackles each (three solo and five assists) and Nathan Moon had two sacks.

Head coach Jason Rimkus — who formerly coached at Interlake — has led the Mustangs to a 2-0 record this season.

Redmond will next play at 7 p.m. tonight at Seattle Prep (West Seattle Stadium).

[ MUSTANGS from page 12] Costello and junior midfielder Kennedy Kieneker, second-teamer Castro and honorable mentions Veronica Chung (defender/ forward), Caroline French (defender), Marisa Messina (goalkeeper) and Sidney Nilsen (midfielder), all juniors.

Whether it’s a regularseason game or a state match, Castro said two keys to success are “our mindset before the game, knowing we gotta try our best. You have to go in there and fight in order to win.”

Costello and Castro said they’re always thinking about performing well on the soccer pitch. The girls — who all wear yellow fluorescent T-shirts on game days — talk about soccer during the day at school, Castro has written “Girls Soccer Tonight” on the chalkboard in front of class and Costello tells everyone she sees at school to come out and support the Mustangs.

“I definitely think about the game a lot. On game days in class, sometimes it’s hard to focus,” Castro said.

Added Costello, who scored along with senior forward Sam Wrast in Redmond’s 2-1 victory over Seattle Prep on Tuesday: “It’s always on our mind because we really care a lot about this program. We’ve been playing varsity soccer since we were freshmen, so it’s really important to us.

We want to finish our senior year strong and we’re really focusing on getting to that state level.”

Castro feels Redmond soccer is like having another family. It’s a special sisterhood.
