Nadella takes the reins as Microsoft’s new CEO ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Satya Nadella

Tuesday was a humbling day for Satya Nadella, the new chief executive officer for Microsoft Corp.

The 46-year-old began a new, monumental phase of his Microsoft journey, one which he launched 22 years ago at the Redmond company.

Remembering that

first day on the job, Nadella said in an email to employees: “I came here because I believed Microsoft was the best company in the world. I saw then how clearly we empower people to do magical things with our creations and ultimately make the world a better place. I knew there was no better company to join if I wanted to make a dif-

ference. This is the very same inspiration that continues to drive me today.”

Microsoft’s board of directors appointed Nadella — who previously served as executive vice president of Microsoft’s Cloud and Enterprise Group — as CEO and member of the board of directors.

Former CEO Steve Ballmer tagged Tuesday as an exciting day and is

has never been stronger, and together this group will drive us forward,” said Ballmer, who announced on Aug. 23, 2013 that he would step down once his successor was chosen.

In a press release, Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder and member of the board of directors, said he is impressed with Nadella’s [ more NADELLA page 3 ]

City Council extends marijuana moratorium

Howie, Terrill win NFL’s Kick Hunger Challenge

While all of the Pacific Northwest has been celebrating the Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Denver Broncos at Sunday’s Super Bowl this week, the players were not the only ones to bring home a “W” from the East Coast.

For the second year in a row, Redmond resident and chef John Howie and former Seahawk Craig Terrill were named winners of the NFL’s Kick Hunger Challenge after raising more than $83,000 for local hunger relief.

The challenge is an annual event held during the Super Bowl to raise money to help end hunger throughout the country.

Teams made up of a chef and football player from each of the 32 NFL cities

“pumped for the future of Microsoft” with Nadella at the helm, he said in an email to employees.

Ballmer describes Nadella as a proven leader with strong technical skills and great business insights.

“I have worked closely with Satya for many years and I have seen these skills many times. He is not alone, though. Our senior leadership team

At Tuesday’s regular meeting, Redmond City Council voted 7-0 to extend the city’s current moratorium on all marijuana regulations for another six months.

The moratorium — which was set to expire March 2 — places a ban on all marijuana-related uses within the City of Redmond limits. With the extension, the ban will continue until Sept. 2.

Deborah Farris, a code enforcement officer for the City of Redmond, said the additional six months will give city staff more time to work on a proposal to take through the public process.

With the passing of Initiative 502 in 2012, which legalized the use of

recreational marijuana, Farris said staff will be working on regulations for the production, processing and retail sales of marijuana. At this point, staff has come up with three possible options for council to consider.

The first option would be to permanently adopt the moratorium banning the production, processing and retailing of marijuana related products within Redmond.

The second option would include modifying the state-regulated 1,000foot buffer zones between a marijuana-related business and schools, public parks, child care centers and other establishments where children gather in large groups. City staff ’s modifications would include 1,000-foot buffers [ more POT page 17 ]

Hawks’ Lynch is in cheering, Skittles mode

Redmond’s Volume 12 store was out in full force at Wednesday’s Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl victory parade in downtown Seattle. Social media coordinator Justin Biza took this photo of running back Marshawn Lynch, surrounded by his favorite candy, Skittles, which attendees tossed at him. He launched them into the crowd, as well. Courtesy photo are pitted against each other leading up to the Super Bowl as they try to raise the most money for local hunger-relief organizations.

Howie — who owns several restaurants throughout the Puget Sound area including Sport Restaurant &

Bar in Seattle, John Howie Steak in Bellevue and Adriatic Grill in Tacoma — and Terrill teamed up to raise funds for Food Lifeline in Seattle, an organization that provides food for 276 food banks and shelters throughout Western Wash-

[ nadella from page 1] “hardcore engineering skills, business vision and the ability to bring people together.”

With Nadella as CEO, Gates’ new role on the board will be founder and technology adviser, and he will support Nadella in shaping technology and product direction.

John Thompson is now chairman of the board of directors and remains an independent director on the board.

Nadella was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, in India and earned a bachelor of engineering in electronics and a communication degree from the Manipal Institute of Technology in Karnataka.

Rajan Zed, who is

chairperson of the IndoAmerican Leadership Confederation, noted in a press release from his office in Nevada: “We applaud Nadella’s appointment. (He is) an outstanding executive who has demonstrated to be a sincere and innovative leader and visionary in engineering, technology, strategy and business. (He is) committed to take Microsoft to the next level.”

Nadella has been married for 22 years and has three children. His family and life experience have driven him to success, he said in his email.

“Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses

than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things,” he said.

Nadella noted that he wants to change the world through technology that empowers people to do amazing things.

“While we have seen great success, we are hungry to do more. Our industry does not respect tradition — it only respects innovation. This is a critical time for the industry and for Microsoft,” he said.

“Make no mistake, we are headed for greater places — as technology evolves and we evolve with and ahead of it. Our job is to ensure that Microsoft thrives in a mobile and cloud-first world.”

Imagine Overlake: coming soon

Tom Hinman

Did you know that Overlake Village Park, now in the design and public comment phase, is only the first of three parks to be developed in the Overlake neighborhood during the next 20 years? This park will be the centerpiece of new construction at the former Group Health hospital site. Eventually more than nine acres of parkland will be built in Overlake to provide the level of service needed as that community grows. How these three recreational facilities complement each other to create a “place” in Overlake should be considered even as the first park is being planned.

Did you know that South Lake Union — that new Seattle community emerging amid a lot of buzz — might be considered a template of all that Overlake could be on a somewhat smaller scale? To help shape the growth of South Lake Union, a significant partnership has been created between city planners, developers and the “Friends and Neighbors of South Lake Union” — a proactive, multi-stakeholder community council that has recognized the value of collaborative efforts around urban form, housing, transportation and economic development. Redmond (and our Bel-Red neighbors) might benefit from South Lake Union’s example as we build a new community in Overlake.

When we think about Overlake Village,

a vision of the broader neighborhood is helpful. A park does not exist in isolation.

Although a key catalyst for growth in the future Overlake neighborhood, that park and activities there are only one element in building a sense of place. As downtown Redmond has shown us with the Central Connector and other projects, it takes multiple focal points to make a community desirable and livable. In the years ahead, there will be opportunities to add character to Overlake, largely along the 152nd Avenue corridor that will lead to the new EastLink light rail station passing a large park and plaza on the west. But it takes a community to make such a place livable by adding a human dimension to the built environment under development….a brew pub, bookstore or neighborhood-centered coffee house, for

example.

Now is the time to get in on the ground floor, think about Overlake as our “other downtown” and set a framework for what we’d like to see painted on the canvas that the city, Overlake Village developers and those that follow will be providing. Imagine Overlake is launching that “Friends and Neighbors” process with a community information meeting to be held from 6:30-8 p.m. on March 10 at the Redmond Library. Watch for additional details in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, contact imagineoverlake@gmail. com with any questions or to indicate your areas of interest.

Shocked at letter about Murray I’m rather shocked and appalled that the Reporter would publish a letter that is, basically, an excuse for death threats against Seattle Mayor Ed Murray because he doesn’t toe Pam Benson’s view of the world.

There is another group of people who believe similarly to Ms. Benson and they are also very upset that their views are supposedly not being upheld by their government and not surprisingly also have the same disgust of people having the right to love who they love. This group is the Taliban in Afghanistan!

You have the right to your limited view of the world and your god. You, and those who think as you do, are not entitled to threaten death because of your disagreement.

Religion is a powerful thing and is used around this world to justify heinous acts against those who believe differently. We are not a theistic country we are diverse in our religions and beliefs. I shudder to think of what this society would

be like if Ms. Benson and her extremely fundamentalist views were the law of the land.

Stevor Compton Redmond

Voting no on LWSD levies, bond As a Lake Washington School District (LWSD) resident, we have always supported our schools. Our two daughters went to and graduated from Lake Washington schools.

However, I am dismayed with the recently proposed increase request of a 25 percent levy rate by the LWSD. This is in addition to our overall property tax assessment that went up 14 percent in 2014 — as might most residents of our area.

Calculating the proposed increase of my local school taxes, they increase by 13 percent for 2014 and then an additional 21 percent in 2015, when most of this proposed levy takes effect. We have to seriously question the timing and wisdom of such a large increase.

The cost to local residents is very real and significant considering our

still struggling economy.

We fully support a more moderate increase — but why so much now? We currently pay more than $4,000 annually to our local schools and state fund for schools through our property tax assessment. How much is enough for one family!?

So, think about it and do the math — with these two proposed levies and one bond, my taxes for Lake Washington schools will go up by 36 percent from 2013-2015.

How much are yours? So I must vote no.

Jerri Knight Lake Washington School District resident

Vote yes three times for LWSD kids Lake Washington is ranked consistently as a top performing school district in our state, and includes nationally ranked schools.

It is a highly sought after district for young families just starting out, as well as those relocating to the Puget Sound area. Lake Washington is also close-knit community

where residents take pride in their schools. And that pride is reflected in our long tradition of supporting our public schools with local dollars.

Voters in Lake Washington can continue their support of highperforming schools with three yes votes on Feb. 11. Passage of the two renewal levies and one bond will invest in much-needed improvements, resources and infrastructure for our schools. The Lake Washington PTSA Council and each of its 41 local PTSA Units — 100 percent of our PTA school communities across the district — have formally endorsed and supported the renewal levies and bond.

The funds raised from the two levies will provide the basic educational services our students and teachers need, such as building repairs, technology upgrades, teacher training, supplies and specialized classroom equipment such as science labs. The Educational Programs and Operations Levy alone provides nearly a quarter (22.5 percent) of the district’s general [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ Letters from page 4]

operating fund.

Passage of the bond is necessary to meet increasing student growth. The bond measure will fund construction of six new schools to accommodate our increasing student enrollment, which is expected to grow by more than 4,000 students in the next eight years. It will also fund the replacement of six aging school buildings.

Our student population is growing at the rate of one building per year. Our schools face a 180 classroom shortfall if we do nothing. Fortunately, the Lake Washington School District has one of the best track records in the state for completing projects on time and on budget. That makes the bond and levies a smart investment for Lake Washington citizens.

Investments in education reap substantial dividends. Strong schools help our kids thrive and help parents do the hard, rewarding work of raising their families. Investments in education also create sustaining benefits across our entire community.

Strong schools make our community an attractive place for businesses to operate. A thriving business environment and strong schools enhance our property values. And most importantly, educated kids grow up to become productive, responsible members of our society — holding down jobs, paying taxes, buying homes, raising families and doing the countless other acts that directly benefit our communities.

We urge Lake Washington voters to vote yes three times for the levies and bond on the Feb. 11 ballot.

Jane Dulski, president, Lake Washington PTSA Council Beth Sigall, vice president of advocacy, Lake Washington PTSA Council

Reject propositions 2 & 3 I grew up with lots of family members who were teachers, so I’m usually supportive of school issues, but this year the Lake Washington School District is asking local families for an excessive tax increase.

Here we are five years into a recession and they propose a 30 percent increase in the capital improvements levy (Proposition 2). Thirty-percent increases in anything are excessive when many families are still struggling with unemployment or underemployment, small businesses are just trying to survive and seniors are watching their fixed income buying power shrink.

On top of that, they then propose an entirely new property tax totaling $755 million that families and local businesses will be paying for the next 28 years (Proposition 3). One reason that one is too high is because our district tears down schools that other, more fiscally prudent districts would economically remodel. Not only does that cost us more, it also forfeits state matching funds that remodeling receives. Send the district a message by voting to REJECT propositions 2 and 3. They need to give taxpayers better, less expensive options we can afford.

Eric Rohrbach Redmond

Vote yes on schools Ballots have recently been mailed to voters in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD).

In anticipation of the Feb. 11 special election, three citizens with somewhat different perspectives contributed letters appearing in the Jan. 24 Reporter.

Steven Swedenburg opines that LWSD

bureaucrats have spent more than enough money on new or replacement facilities instead of modernizing existing ones. He also states, “It is time to reign in the wasteful bureaucracy and work for our students’ futures.” Accordingly, he recommends a no vote on Proposition 3, the bond measure.

Writers of the ballot statement in opposition to the bond measure make some valid statements, implications and assertions similar to Mr. Swedenburg’s. Independent documentation reveals that, over time, LWSD has played loose with facts and figures, statistics and terminology. School board directors and/or LWSD employees have been disingenuous when it suits their agendas. And citizens have experienced bullying tactics, rudeness and dismissive and know-it-all attitudes. Vote for schools anyway!

Larry Christensen encourages residents to vote yes on the two levies and to approve the bond measure. He praises teachers and administrators, and recognizes the value of a mix of innovative college prep and career-technical curricula. Apparently referring to the taxes we pay, he comments — and rightly so — that homeowners and taxpayers are concerned about “return on investment.”

He also claims that residents in the LWSD can be proud of the exemplary record of fiscal management and accountability by district officials. Swedenburg and many others would, however, consider this to be very questionable.

Christensen closes with his opinion that supporting levies (and bond measures) is not a matter of altruism — it’s economics.

Perhaps the truth lies somewhere between pure altruism and pure self-interest. Usually we remember that what is obviously a specific and “immediate” benefit to students in a particular attendance area also benefits the entire LWSD community in the long run. In education, just as in other endeavors, we must pool our resources.

With proper stewardship, every neighborhood should “get its turn.” One example at present is the critical need to build an elementary school in Redmond Ridge East.

About that “return on investment:” Let us always remember that our investment in education is one of the very best investments we can make. Sure, we can compute its outcomes in dollars and cents. Good education — from preschool through adulthood — serves to equalize opportunities, increase citizens’ earning capacities, and consequently increase our nation’s overall productivity. Ripple effects can be to greatly decrease class conflict and greatly decrease crime.

In purely human terms: Education enables even our very youngest students to begin to realize their potentials, to discover exciting new interests and develop one’s best talents, to discover and appreciate facts about our world and its peoples, to develop respect for oneself and others, and so on …

Jeff Newport recognizes the skills of teachers, secretaries and other staff, along with the ongoing support of parents and community. Thus he also writes in support of the upcoming levies and bond measure.

He rightly reminds us the LWSD has a strong reputation as one of the finest school districts in our state and in the entire country. We must assure that this is, and remains, a well-deserved reputation.

Let’s remember that we are to be voting on two levies and a bond measure, rather than on who will be on our school board.

Stated another way, we need to support these propositions because they are to

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

benefit our children and our communities — not the aspirations of non-educators who adopt policies and, yes, essentially control the expenditures of our taxes designated for education.

Perhaps many of us do have legitimate grievances and disappointments. We should, however, avoid knee-jerk, emotional, or angry inclinations to “show those guys by not voting for their doggone propositions.” Elections for board positions will come later.

We can, as necessary, provide powerful incentives to board members to improve on past performance, demonstrate better stewardship of resources derived from taxpayers, and increase accountability.

Some ideas include: Attend board meetings, sometimes in large numbers. Submit requests for public information to LWSD. Write to this newspaper. Contact additional media. Contact higher levels of government. If and when warranted, request the courts to intervene.

Educators like Newport are to be commended for appealing to, and succeeding in bringing about, the best in our human nature. The core purpose of this letter is, likewise, to appeal to the best character traits in all the voters within LWSD. Please vote yes, yes and approved!

I am writing to encourage your readers to vote yes for the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) levies that will be on the Feb. 11 ballot.

As a veteran realtor, I am well aware that good schools add to property values. In the November and December 2013 issue of national publication Certified Residential Specialist a study by Move.com is quoted that states “three-out-of-five homebuyers say school boundaries are a major factor in their home-buying decision.” Twentyfour percent of homebuyers would pay 1-5 percent above budget for good schools and nearly 21 percent say they would pay 6-10 percent above” budget.

That’s a pretty resounding statement supporting quality schools.

Many readers may not be aware that two of the three levies are replacement, not new levies. The third is a bond intended to replace aging schools and expand capacity for a growing population.

Let’s continue the quality of life and level of education and home values in the LWSD. Please vote yes on Feb. 11.

Betsy Sutthoff Weyer Kirkland

Support your neighborhood schools in special election Ideally, we have homes with the right amount of space for our families and daily functions. But what if more family and friends also want to live in this great area and need to move in with you? A couple extra people you can make room for, but if they keep coming? Pretty soon you have RVs sitting on your lawn and your house looks like the Griswolds in “Vacation” when cousin Eddie comes to stay.

OK, this is not a likely housing scenario, but this is the kind of overcrowding the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is facing right now, except it is portables instead of RVs choking school grounds.

And it does affect us and our homes.

Housing prices are linked to school quality, period. This is true when markets are hot and when they are slow. If you are selling a home within a good school district, you will get more money for that house and it will sell faster. And knowledgeable buyers see these homes as better investments whether they have kids or not.

The basic truth is that the Washington state Legislature does not fund the school districts to the degree necessary to keep up the quality of our schools. So school districts often must turn to levy and bond measures to fund school construction, technology enhancements, ongoing maintenance, teachers’ salaries and more. In fact, all of the Eastside school districts surrounding LWSD also have levy and bond measures on the upcoming Feb. 11 ballot; we do not want to slip behind. [ more letters page 8]

[ LETTERS from page 6]

Since I’m a real estate agent living and working within the district, I have a personal and professional interest in the quality of the LWSD. I feel fortunate that my two kids are getting competitive educations without private school expenses. I see the limitations at the outdated school my youngest attends versus the advancements and space at my older son’s newer school. I see the motivated teaching staff throughout the district as I volunteer in their schools. And I see clients coming to me with “quality of schools” high on their list of house buying requirements. How could I not vote yes for LWSD schools?

I’m not the only agent advocating for the levy and bond vote. The Seattle-King County Association of Realtors (SKCR) confirms this viewpoint in a recent press release: “Schools have a significant impact on home values,” said Sam Pace, a housing specialist with SKCR. “It’s not just families with school age kids that are concerned about the quality of schools when buying a home,” he emphasized,

War II and Cold War air defense, wishful thinking by city planners and business people — and even the local connection to the D.B. Cooper hijacking mystery.

PHILADELPHIA – A team of doctors has found that a formulation of exotic sounding herbs and spices gives diabetics new hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™ promotes healthy blood sugar levels by effectively metabolizing glucose into energy.

In a research study, all patients taking just one capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily, dramatically lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo group. Another scientific study found that an ingredient in Cinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times more capable converting blood sugar to energy.

While individual results vary, one patient in the study lowered his blood sugar from 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only

28 days, despite being instructed not to change his dietary habits or physical activity. Some patients, under their doctors care, have been able to reduce or eliminate their need for diabetic drugs. Scientists say that Cinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugs to work more efficiently. Additional information is available at www.cinnatrol.com.

Cinnatrol™ is available without a prescription at pharmacies and nutrition stores or call 1-877-581-1502.

Cara Erdman Kirkland

1, 2, 3 — yes, Yes, YES! Lake Washington School District #414 has three issues before, you, the voters Feb. 11 and each is deserving of your YES vote.

1. Educational Programs & Operations Levy replaces an expiring levy that funds beyond state basis education for which we should continue to want for our schools to be excellent.

2. Capital Projects Levy replaces an expiring levy that funds our technology learning and provides added health and welfare, things we cherish on the Eastside.

3. Bond Measure adds, modernizes and replaces school facilities to prevent overcrowding, meet standards and provide equity.

Juanita High School is an award-winning campus designed for an educational program that was an open-plan concept with education off campus as well as reallocated extra state area allotments that allowed a pool, theater and field house. Juanita High School has lived with portables since the ‘80s because its campus does not have enough permanent academic classrooms; it is time to correct this!

We need the new schools and upgrades throughout our district or your kids may be the unlucky ones to be in a facility that is subpar to what you expect or see elsewhere. I encourage you to vote YES now on all three, especially the bond measure.

Redmond teen unleashes his Warthog Wars video game Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

It’s not uncommon for teens to list video games as one of their favorite hobbies.

Creating a video game is a different story. But this is exactly what 14-year-old Redmond resident Matthew Mistele did. The ninth-grader from The Bear Creek School spent the past year or so working on creating a video game, which was released on Jan. 22 and is now available on Xbox 360.

“It’s a really good feeling,” Matthew said about completing his game and seeing it on Xbox.

His game, Warthog Wars, features various modes for players and assigns them various objectives to complete. He said the game was inspired by the popular video game Halo.

Redmond resident and Bear Creek School freshman Matthew Mistele recently had a video game released for Xbox 360. Warthog Wars was the 14-year-old’s first game. Courtesy photo “I really like Halo,” he said.

While Matthew has created simple video games in the past, Warthog Wars is by far the most complex

one he has created.

“It’s really ambitious,” he acknowledges.

Matthew’s mother Priscilla Mistele knew his goal to create a game for

Three Lions Pub’s Beck is set to cook on ‘Chef’s Secrets’ Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

The first dish Ian Beck ever learned to prepare was an omelet.

He was 6 years old.

“I had to get a step stool,” he said about how he was even able to reach the burner.

This marked the beginning of a lifetime in the kitchen, starting with the one at home. After that came the kitchens of Boston Market and Ruby’s — both formerly in Redmond — and a few other local restaurants such as Celtic Bayou and Spazzo Italian Grill & Wine Bar in downtown Redmond.

“I’ve been cooking my whole life,” Beck said.

Now at 36, he is the chef at The Three Lions Pub at 23525 N.E. Novelty Hill Rd., A-101 on Redmond Ridge and this weekend, he will be

featured on the 18th annual “KCTS 9 Cooks: Chef ’s Secrets” special that is set to air live from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday.

Paula Nemzek, the show’s executive producer, said “Chef ’s Secrets” is part of the station’s cooking series, which began in 1996. In addition to this TV special, which features 16 chefs from restaurants throughout Washington and British Columbia, Canada sharing their favorite recipes, KCTS 9 also tapes two similar specials a year featuring home cooks.

Nemzek said the specials are fundraisers for the public television station, which relies on viewer support, with three-quarters of their funds coming from individual donors.

Viewers who pledge $60 (or $5 a month ongoing) will receive a cookbook that goes with the “Chef ’s Secret” show or a DVD of the show and a digital edition of the cook-

book. Those who pledge $96 (or $8 a month ongoing) will receive a copy of the cookbook and DVD. “(We) use it as a ‘thank you’ for people who make a contribution to the station,” Nemzek said about the cookbook.

The cookbook features about 200 recipes from more than 100 chefs in Washington state and British Columbia, including all 16 of the recipes featured on air, including Beck’s.

For the show, Beck will be preparing a savory blue cheese bread pudding.

“It can be a standalone dish,” he said. “It can be a side. There’s all sorts of fun stuff you could do with it.”

He said he got the idea for a savory bread pudding — a dish that is usually sweeter and served for dessert — after finding a recipe for a savory blue cheesecake.

“Bread pudding is what I call a neutral vehicle,” he said about the dish’s ability to go sweet or savory.

thought it was impossible.”

Mistele said on the first try, Matthew’s game actually failed and fell apart.

She said he did not have enough technical knowledge to work out all the bugs.

“He realized how much he didn’t know,” she said. Matthew then took a break from working on the game and hit the books. “(But) it was still super hard for him.”

Mistele said she was impressed by her son’s hard work and determination and the fact that he took the time to study — outside of his regular schoolwork — to complete Warthog Wars.

Matthew mostly worked on the game on the weekends, giving up hours and hours of free time. But when asked whether it was worth it, he had just two words.

“Yes. Totally.”

Matthew received some help from his father with the debugging, but he said he did pretty much all of the work, from creating the levels, to the artwork, to the actual programming.

Mistele said her husband is the CEO of Kirkland tech company INRIX, but it has been years since he’s actually done any programming.

“He hadn’t done programming since college,” she said.

Mistele said it had been her son’s goal to create a video game since he was in sixth grade. Matthew had always enjoyed playing video games and he wanted to develop a game that he knew his friends would enjoy.

And they do enjoy it.

Matthew said his friends were amazed at what he accomplished.

Richard Edgar, an ASE master automobile technician from Redmond, was recently honored with a national achievement award as the Valvoline/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year.

The ASE annual awards

Edgar is currently employed by the City of Seattle.

He has been a technician for 36 years.

“ASE has been honoring the best of the best in our industry for more than 40 years and we are proud to once again recognize 45 outstanding individuals from all across the nation,” said Zilke.

“This is all made possible by the support of our many award sponsors, whose ranks include some of the bestknown names in the industry.

We are proud to partner with Valvoline to recognize Rick’s commitment to excellence in providing the very best in career and technology education to his extended community. This dedication is reflected in the talented professionals we recognize each year and Rick represents the best of the best.”

Never give up.

“I didn’t do that,” he said.

Matthew said game development is a career path he would like to pursue and he has high expectations of himself.

“If I’m this good now,” he said, “I can be really good later.”

Warthog Wars is available on Xbox 360 under Indie Games.

opened about eight months ago.

“It’s very gratifying,” Redman said about seeing one of those chefs being featured on Saturday’s special.

Beck said he never expected his dish to be chosen for the show “because it was bread pudding,” but Redman begs to differ. Having sampled the chef ’s dish, which will be a featured special at the Redmond Ridge pub later this month, he said, “it’s very tasty.”

As his first live TV appearance approaches, Beck admits he is nervous. But he is looking forward to meeting the other chefs who will be featured, adding that he actually used to work with one — JJ Ullakko of KORAL Bar & Kitchen in Bellevue — during his earlier days.

and difficulties he faced in developing Warthog Wars, Matthew pushed through it, which did his mother proud.

“Just incredibly proud of him and surprised that he was able to do it and he stuck with it,” she said.

Sticking with it is exactly the advice Matthew has for young people:

[ kick from page 1] and I love that,” Howie said about how much money they raised, adding that they brought in $34,000 last year.

PART Y FOR A CAUSE

The challenge is part of the Taste of the NFL, an annual event held the night before the Super Bowl that raises money to help fight hunger.

Howie compared the event to the Bite of Seattle in that attendees can sample food at booths from each chef-andplayer team. In addition, there is a silent auction, a live auction, a raffle and a band.

Redmond resident and chef John Howie (center) won this year’s Kick Hunger Challenge at the Super Bowl. The challenge raised money to fight hunger throughout the country. Courtesy photo “It’s a big party,” he said, adding that it’s not a cheap party as people had to shell out about $700 to attend this year’s

event.

Thirty percent of the proceeds from the event benefits the host city’s hunger-fighting efforts,

while the remaining 70 percent is split evenly among the remaining 31 cities to go toward their respective efforts.

The goal for this year’s Taste event was to raise $1 million. Howie said the numbers are not in yet, but if they reached that goal, that would add about another $22,000 to the $83,000 he and Terrill raised through the Kick Hunger Challenge.

In its 23 years, he said, the Taste has raised about $14 million.

While the Super Bowl was held in East Rutherford, N.J., this year’s Taste event was held in Brooklyn. Because of this, Howie said the food bank in Brooklyn was allowed to participate in the challenge.

The food bank came in second place, bringing in about $53,500. Third place went to the team representing the Atlanta Falcons, which brought in $20,295.

“We blew them away.

It was kind of like the game,” Howie said about the competition, referring to the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory.

ONE DOLLAR GOES A LONG WAY

Howie said their fundraising efforts included

a dinner event at Sport, which included a raffle for a signed Russell Wilson jersey. Local rock icons Pearl Jam contributed by selling special 12th Man T-shirts at one of their concerts, bringing in $7,500 for the local effort. Amos Bros. also got involved by selling Kick Hunger T-shirts for people to purchase, contributing another $6,000 to the total.

In addition to the pre-Taste fundraising efforts and the money raised from ticket sales for the event, Howie said they earned an additional $20,000 for Food Lifeline from items that were auctioned off during the dinner. This brings the total amount for the organization to $113,000, not including the dollars brought in from the Taste ticket sales as they have not been calculated yet.

Food Lifeline President and CEO Linda Nageotte said her organization can stretch every dollar they receive far enough for four meals, so the amount Howie and Terrill’s efforts will provide upwards of 400,000 meals throughout Western Washington.

Howie has partici-

pated in the Taste for 10 years and has chosen Food Lifeline as his benefactor every year, which Nageotte appreciates.

“We lovingly refer to chef Howie as our 12th Man,” she said.

A SWEET VICTORY

Although Howie won the challenge last year, as well, he said this year’s victory was particularly sweet because the Seahawks also won the Big Game.

“It feels a lot better than Detroit did,” he said, referring to the Hawks’ previous, unsuccessful run for the championship title in 2006.

During that Super Bowl, Howie went head to head with the chef from Pittsburgh — representing the Steelers — in a competition for the best dip. He won that event with a Dungeness crab dip to his competition’s bean dip, but it wasn’t the same without a Seahawks’ victory.

Howie said he plans to participate in the Taste next year and he expects to have company once again.

“I fully expect the Seahawks to be there next year,” he said.

There’s something empowering about the word freedom.

It means you have a choice and the opportunity to determine your own path. And when it comes to schools, especially in our area, we’re lucky enough to have many options, even within a five-mile radius.

But decisions can be daunting when the selection is great.

enro todayl!l enro todayl!l

Parents can feel overwhelmed at the task of finding a school.

But when you break it all down, it comes down to one question: What is your ideal outcome?

All of us want the best for our children — that’s the obvious answer — but what’s the one thing you want your child to get out of early learning? Do you want the child to make friends? Do you want them to accelerate academically?

Play-based or Montessori, creative-encouragement or learning-focused, it’s important for parents to be an advocate for the child’s emotional IQ. Because it’s within this narrow timeline — between ages 0 to 6 — we have the opportunity to lay a foundation that will be built on for the rest of the child’s educational career.

WHAT TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN CHOOSING A SCHOOL 1.) The importance of a gut feeling.

Your whole life you’ve been using intuition and gut feeling to help you make decisions — from the jobs you’ve held, the house you bought, to the mate you’ve chosen.

Our biggest advice to parents is to trust your instincts; even from the moment you see the school for the first time. Do you feel comfortable with the way the school looks, from the inside out? Do you feel comfortable in the classrooms?

Obviously, curriculum and leadership are key in school decisions, but there are some things you just know right off the bat. And if the feeling that the school gives you resonates with your ideal outcome, more than likely the curriculum and the people running the show are aligned, as well.

2.) Home away from home.

In your home, you do things a certain way. When looking for a school, it’s important that the way they operate is in sync with your way of life at home.

If it’s important to you to have neatness and cleanliness in your home, find a school where these values are equally as important. If your child is accustomed to singing and painting at home, finding a school where these things are a part of the daily routine will make your child feel comfortable, because to them it will feel like home.

This “values repetition” shows your child that the way it is at home is reinforced at school, insinuating a partnership and a cohesive experience between home and at school.

3.) Trust Do you feel OK walking away from the school, knowing that your child will be safe there all day? What are the key things that will give you that [ more SCHOOL page 15 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com

[ school from page 14] “safe” feeling? The level of security at that school? The certifications that the school has earned? Even the location itself?

You are trusting the school and its teachers with your children. If you have any trepidation, your child will pick up on this and it could affect their attitude toward also feeling safe at school. If your child does not feel safe, they won’t feel relaxed and relaxation is essential to learning. The biggest thing to walk away with is recognizing how that school made you feel.

And most likely, that’s how your child will feel, too.

FINDING THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL FORMAT

• MONTESSORI: Montessori-learning approaches each child as an individual and the students within the classroom are staggered ages — meaning three year olds are working side by side with 5-year-olds. Children determine their own interests and move at their own pace. There is a teacher in the classroom but children are encouraged to discover learning at their own pace, or as it’s called on the American Montessori Society’s web site, “Freedom with limits.”

Drawbacks In a play-based environment, the class is viewed as a whole. If one child is falling behind, the class will pull them forward perhaps without the student fully understanding what’s happening. If the child excels in school, this format may prevent them from moving forward because they have to stay with the group.

FARM

Benefits The benefits of a play-based school are that there is an emphasis on social development. The play-based structure is continued in a traditional public school and the class takes instruction from a single leader, the teacher.

• PLAY-BASED: A play-based school is something that we, as Americans, are familiar with. It’s the traditional school setting. Children work in stations and are moved in groups. There is one teacher who directs the group and the children are grouped by age.

Children learn skills through play and develop positive interactions by playing with their peers.

Redmond High soccer players score with letters of intent Bilginer, White and Castro are ready to kick their games to the next level ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Redmond High scored a hat trick on Wednesday morning when three of its student-athletes signed letters of intent to play college soccer next season.

Sierra Bilginer is headed to the University of Arizona, Julian White will take his skills to Seattle Pacific University and Marianna Castro will lend the Hawaii Pacific University squad a hand.

“When I stepped on campus, I just immediately knew it was the place for me,” Bilginer said. “I love the coaching, it just felt really homey and everyone on the team’s super nice and welcoming. It’s really warm there and I just love everything about it.”

Bilginer’s top Mustang highlight was scoring the crucial goal in a 1-0 victory over highly

KIRSCH HONORED

Redmond resident and Eastside Catholic quarterback Harley Kirsch was named to the

favored Skyline to notch the 4A Kingco title in 2012.

“I can’t really explain the feeling,” she said. “I was just kind of in shock that we had beaten such a good team that was known to win everything. I just didn’t know how to feel at the time: it was so overwhelming and exciting.”

Castro, a goalkeeper, also lists the Kingco title as her top moment wearing a Redmond uniform.

The Mustangs ended Skyline’s 37-match unbeaten streak and gave Redmond its first league crown in 21 years.

Hawaii Pacific is the perfect place for her to continue playing soccer.

“Well, one, I’m half Brazilian, so it kind of reminded me of home back there,” she said.

“When I went and did my official visit, it was just beautiful and I totally fell in love with it right then. The coach, first team offense for the MaxPreps 2013 Football Sophomore All-American Team.

As for White, he played soccer at Redmond High as a freshman, but made his mark with his Crossfire Premier club team.

White, who scored the game-winning goal in his team’s regionals victory one season, is looking forward to taking his game to the next level. “(Seattle Pacific) is really the right place for

me,” he said. “They’re just close to home and it’s comfortable for me there.”

The athletes’ parents also attended the lettersigning gathering in the school’s career center.

205-pound Kirsch led Eastside Catholic to the 3A state title game by connecting on 244 of 384 attempts for 3,535

yards and 35 touchdowns.

Hawks fans bus it to parade

Father and son Craig and Max Salathe wait to board the 545 SoundTransit bus in Redmond on Wednesday morning to get to the Seattle Seahawks’ downtown victory parade. andy

Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Craig Salathe sported a vintage Steve Largent Seattle Seahawks jersey.

His son, Max, donned a new Russell Wilson jersey.

The Redmond residents were shivering a bit from the cold on Wednesday morning, but they were both wearing Super Bowl victory smiles as they waited for the 545 SoundTransit bus to take

from all residential areas (including the residential areas themselves) and unlicensed child care centers.

The latter would also be added to the list of prohibited areas. In addition, there would be a required 1,000foot separation between marijuana-related uses.

“So we don’t have a concentration of marijuanarelated uses in one area,” Farris said about the latter.

The third option city staff is looking at is to adopt either the first or second option as interim regulations to give them time to collect data on the effects of having marijuana-related businesses in the city and any effects on public safety.

City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione said they do not have specific projections at this time of how marijuana businesses could affect Redmond.

“We continue to work within the framework of what the State Liquor Control board has provided,” he said.

“As information becomes available we will take that information into account.”

Although the passing of I-502 allows for recreational marijuana use, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson — at the request of Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) chair Sharon Foster — released the following formal opinion regarding local ordinances affecting new marijuana businesses in Washington: “…Although Initiative

502 establishes a licensing and regulatory system for marijuana producers, processors, and retailers in Washington State, it includes no clear indication that it was intended to preempt local authority to regulate such businesses.

We therefore conclude that I-502 left in place the normal powers of local governments to regulate within their jurisdictions.”

Farris said this means local governments still have the power to regulate marijuana use as they say fit. “(But) that was just an opinion,” she stressed about Ferguson’s statement.

The WSLCB, the government agency overseeing the implementation of I-502, has limited the amount of marijuana retail stores to 334 statewide. Of this number, Redmond was assigned two.

This may be the case, but Farris said with the way the city is laid out and zoned, “there’s no retail (space) where they could go” that would meet the 1,000foot buffer criteria. However, there are a few areas throughout the city where production or processing businesses could go, she said.

While the WSLCB has limited the amount of marijuana retail businesses, there was no limit placed on production or processing businesses.

WSLCB spokesperson Mikhail Carpenter said they received about 7,000 license applications for marijuana business — in all

three categories, including 20 from Redmond. This is about 1,500 more applications than there are liquorlicensed grocery stores in the state and it is taking some time to go through all of them, he said.

“We’re in the process of processing all the applications,” Carpenter said, adding that the 14 licensing investigators tasked with the job are working after hours to get it done.

He said they expect to begin issuing licenses for production and processing businesses in March and businesses will probably begin opening beginning in June.

The retail businesses will come after that as there needs to be a product to sell first and that will depend on the market.

“Each producer is going to produce at their own rate,” Carpenter said.

He said another wrinkle in the plan when it comes to retail is the limited number of businesses allowed. If there are more approved licenses than allowed within a jurisdiction, Carpenter said, they will have a lottery drawing.

“Some cities will need it, some won’t,” he said.

Marijuana will be addressed in a Planning Commission study session Wednesday and a Planning Commission public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Feb. 26.

Craig added that the longtime Salathe fans had season tickets in the Kingdome.

“It’s unbelievable. Vindication. It’s like crazy,” Craig said of the Hawks’ 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos last Sunday for Seattle’s first Super Bowl triumph.

of the law review. In addition to his seat in the Legislature, Habib practices law at Perkins Coie and teaches upper-level courses as Distinguished Lawmaker in Residence at Seattle University School of Law.

BRIEFS

Governing.com honors Rep. Habib

State Rep. Cyrus Habib (48th Legislative District), who represents Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland and the Points Communities in the State House of Representatives, has been chosen

by Governing.com as one of “12 State Legislators to watch in 2014.”

Responding to the selection Rep. Habib said “I’m both honored and humbled to be part of Governing. com’s list of legislators to watch.

I look forward to continuing my work this year helping to make Washington the best state in the nation for businesses, workers and families.”

Citing his outstanding educational credentials and his unique heritage (Habib is believed to be only state legislator in the country with an Iranian-American background), the vice-chair of the Technology and Economic Development Committee was listed as a legislator to watch to for the upcoming year in a list that includes six Democrats and six Republicans.

Representative Habib grew up in Bellevue and attended Bellevue public schools. At age 8, he lost his eyesight to cancer, but he went on to college at Columbia, to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and to Yale Law School where he was editor

Hunter, Springer visit Stella Schola

Recently, Reps. Ross Hunter (D) and Larry Springer (D) of the 48th and 45th legislative districts, respectively, visited Stella Schola Middle School in Redmond.

Hunter spent the morning as a coteacher with eighth-grade teacher and Stella Schola headmistress Brigitte Tennis.

During the lesson, students used gummy bears as a manipulative as they worked through the problem to find a solution that fit the given rules. Hunter worked with various students in small groups, encouraging their work.

“Students have such varied skill levels, but it was impressive how they assisted each other without actually coming out and telling the answer,” he said.

Tennis said she tries to craft logical thinking lessons, which stretch students on many levels, along with teaching respect of others and their learning abilities.

Later in the morning, Tennis and Hunter led a group discussion of Act 3, scene I of “Hamlet.” Hunter said he was impressed with “how much students get out of this small passage,” as they discussed the

symbolic meaning of Shakespeare’s words.

Hunter said he would love to return to get another hands-on experience in the classroom.

During his visit, Springer co-taught a physics lesson with Tennis.

Students explored potential and kinetic energy using a pop-up alien toy. The eighth- graders planned and carried out an investigation to test their alien to see how high it popped, as well as how long it took to pop up.

Springer was impressed that students could verbalize how Newton’s third law - which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction – played into their experiments.

Springer, who was once a teacher, also spent some time in another Lake Washington School District classroom at John Muir Elementary School.

Students shine in math competition

Students from six schools in the Lake Washington School District competed in the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) American Mathematics Competition (AMC) 8 in November.

The Redmond schools that participated in the competition were Louisa May Alcott Elementary School, Evergreen Middle School (EMS) and Redmond Middle School (RMS).

Of those schools, two were named to the Washington State School

Pfaff honored

Former Horace Mann Elementary School teacher Nancy Pfaff was named the Washington recipient of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) for mathematics. The PAEMST is the nation’s highest honor for teachers of mathematics and science (including computer science).

The PAEMST is awarded annually to outstanding K-12 science and mathematics teachers from across the country. The

winners are selected by a panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians and educators following an initial selection process at the state level. Each year the award alternates between instructors teaching kindergarten through sixth grade and those teaching seventh through 12th grades. The 2012 awardees teach kindergarten through sixth grade.

Winners receive a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation to be used at their discretion. They also are invited to Washington, D.C. for an awards ceremony and several days of educational and celebratory events.

Pfaff has been an educator for more than 30 years, specializing for the past two years in sixthgrade mathematics at Horace Mann Elementary in Redmond and Inglewood Middle School in Sammamish in the LWSD. This school year, she is teaching gifted students in an enrichment program at Blackwell Elementary School in Sammamish and Thoreau Elementary School in Kirkland.

Her 26 years in the district include work in gifted and general education classrooms for third through sixth grade.

Pfaff shared her enthusiasm for mathematics by developing a school-wide Math Night at Mann Elementary. Her sixth-graders led kindergarten through fifth-grade students and their parents in mathematics games and activities.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx
