In an effort to make the roads safer, the Redmond Police Department’s (RPD) traffic division participated in a national campaign targeting distracted drivers this week.

The campaign took place from April 10-15 and targeted drivers who were using their cell phones while driving. On Tuesday, RPD officers enforcing Washington’s cell phone laws focused their patrols on a few different areas around town — including downtown and the Avondale Road corridor.

Lt. Doug Krueger said statistics show those areas to have more collisions than other areas around Redmond.

“The Avondale corridor is

a tremendously busy location with collisions,” he said.

In 2013, there were 891 collisions in Redmond and 38 percent were rear-end collisions, which are typically the fault of inattentive drivers, according to a City of Redmond press release.

In addition to causing rear-end collisions, Krueger said distracted drivers can also “wander” out of their lanes, often sideswiping another vehicle. He said this can happen when a driver is distracted by their cell phone and not controlling their vehicle or when a driver intentionally changes lanes but is distracted by their cell phone and doesn’t make sure the lane is clear.

Distracted drivers can also cause collisions while making turns at a light, Krueger [ more DRIVERS page 8]

Mayor Marchione discusses finance with young adults, organizations Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Last Friday, City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione visited WorkSource in Redmond to speak with young adults and community organizations about finance.

His visit was part of “DollarWise: Planning for the Future,” a national campaign in April designed to provide communities with an opportunity to focus on the importance of personal and family financial literacy. The campaign also highlights ongoing, yearround financial education programs.

Danielle Wallace, project manager for the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County (WDC), said DollarWise seeks to improve people’s financial literacy and encourages mayors across the country to speak with residents about the importance of using money wisely to prepare for a financially stable future.

Marchione participated in the campaign through his involvement with the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), which is a DollarWise partner.

“When I first came out of college I was surprised that my peers didn’t know how to budget, save and use credit responsibly,” he said about why he got involved in the campaign.

“It is even more urgent today with the broad availability of credit cards and the ability to spend mindlessly on the Internet.”

Some of the key points

Redmond Mayor John Marchione speaks with young adults and community organizations about finance. Courtesy photo of Marchione’s talk at WorkSource included the importance of creating a budget and planning for necessities first. He also told attendees that they should track their money and follow transactions in their accounts as well as create a savings plan for emergencies or large purchases.

Marchione, who had a background in finance before he became mayor, said he thinks everyone needs a grounding in basic budgeting, cash flow and debt.

Wallace — whose organization, the WDC, is a nonprofit workforce think-tank and grantmaking organization with a mission to support a strong economy and people’s abilities to achieve self-sufficiency — added that financial literacy is a key component of attaining economic selfsufficiency at any age.

“We find that financial literacy complements employment training, leading to better long-

term outcomes for youth and adults,” she said.

Marléna Sessions, CEO of the WDC, added, “In addition to career planning, skills training and education, and secure employment, financial literacy is a critical part of becoming a productive community member.”

Wallace said WDC works throughout the community, bringing employers, jobseekers, youth, educators, labor groups and other nonprofits together to find and fund solutions for workforce gaps. The organization was established in 2000 and is led by a board of directors with a private-sector majority.

“We oversee a wide range of employment-related programs and initiatives, serving thousands of King County youth, adults and businesses each year,” Wallace said.

She said since financial literacy is a key component of self-sufficiency, the WDC has used the tools developed by the DollarWise Campaign as a complement to its own programming.

One of those DollarWise tools is Better Money Habits, a series of online videos created by the Khan Academy and Bank of America to teach people how to manage money and use debt responsibly.

Marchione took part in launching the video series, saying, “the Khan Academy approach is a proven method to teach people at their own pace.

It will be very successful in helping increase financial literacy.”

Former Microsoft senior program manager charged with rape will go on trial May 13 Staff Report

[2] April 18, 2014

Vineet Kumar Srivastava, who was charged with second-degree rape of a Microsoft Corp. janitor last July, had his scheduled April 14 trial continued to May 13 at King County Superior Court.

The 36-year-old former Microsoft senior program manager was arraigned

on Aug. 14 and entered a not-guilty plea to the charges. He’s out of custody after posting bond in July.

The alleged crime took place at about 11 p.m. on July 22 in Srivastava’s office in Building 27. According to charging documents, he invited a janitor into his office, fondled her breasts and buttocks, prevented her from escaping

and raped her. He placed his condom in the trash and took the bin with him as he left his office.

The 33-year-old janitor informed her on-site supervisor of the incident, but he didn’t believe her and didn’t alert police, documents state. Another supervisor eventually contacted the Redmond Police Department (RPD) about the rape on July 24.

Proposition 1 keeps Eastside connections to education, jobs and our future

Your vote on Proposition 1 directly impacts Eastside transportation options for workers and students. Metro transit provides essential mobility connections to jobs, education and health care for thousands who live and work on the Eastside.

As elected officials, we hear first-hand from our constituents about their dependence on Metro, whether it’s how they get to work or it’s the only affordable way for them to attend school. Transit and roads cross party lines and jurisdictional boundaries as shown by the support of 20 mayors across the county, a unanimous King County Council vote and 200 organizations representing business, labor, social services and education.

And, if we value education, we should also value access to education. Whether a student has just graduated from high school or is retraining to build a better life for his or her family, nearly one-third of students at Bellevue College use transit as their primary means of getting to school. Yet, without funding to replace revenues that are expiring this year, Metro may soon be forced to reduce bus service for those students. Routes serving students at University of Washington-Bothell, Cascadia Community College and Lake Washington Technical College are all facing cuts, as well.

Through its 400,000 daily rides, Metro also takes cars off of Eastside streets and across the county. We have a fiscal responsibility to take care of our infrastructure. If the public does not pass Proposition 1 on April 22, a majority of the routes serving Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland would have to be eliminated, reduced or revised to meet budgetary cuts instead of just refining our system to meet policy guidelines. Our residents take more than 30,000 trips every day on the Bellevue bus routes alone.

These cuts will put thousands of additional cars on our alreadycongested streets and highways, making us spend more time in traffic and less time with our families.

But Proposition 1 isn’t just about buses.

Across the county and in our cities, there is an estimated $1.3 billion backlog of thousands of miles of roadway maintenance and safety repairs for hundreds of bridges. Continuing to delay our roadway repair means we’ll have to replace the roads, entirely. Every $1 in repair we spend to fix a road today saves us $6 to $14 in replacement costs later.

and generosity. We value this reputation and we value our economic growth. In state and county government, we are prepared to do our part. We are dedicated to ongoing efficiencies in Metro operations and to passing a state-wide transportation package that will complete the SR 520 bridge replacement and increase capacity along the I-405 corridor. Proposition 1 is about preserving what we’ve got while we work to improve the bigger, regional transportation picture.

No one likes traffic. Most of us don’t like paying more taxes. Yet, we all want and need safe, affordable and reliable transportation options. Proposition 1 is not just about transit.

It’s not just about roads. Proposition 1 is about protecting access to educational opportunities, connections to jobs and our quality of life. Vote “yes” to keep our region moving forward.

Is a tax rate increase necessary to fund bond?

After reading the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Bond Levy Report found on their website, I find it puzzling as to why a tax rate increase is necessary to fund the construction bond. Growth in school enrollment generally corresponds with the growth in population and results in growth in the real estate tax base. That has indeed been the case in LWSD based on statistics, even in LWSD’s own reports.

LWSD enrollment has grown at a much lower rate than has the tax base over the last 10 years. LWSD enrollment in 2003-04 was 23,629 (per the LWSD Annual Report 2003-2004). The LWSD Bond Levy Report (June 24, 2013) notes that enrollment is now 25,408 a growth of 7.5 percent over that 10-year time period. In comparison, the tax base has grown almost 50 percent in that time period despite the

economy downturn. The LWSD Bond Levy report lists the tax base valuation as $24.2 billion in 2004 and $33.7 billion in 2014, an increase of 48 percent. Even considering inflation, there should be ample margin in the increased tax base to support a replacement bond without a tax rate increase. It is puzzling as to why this wasn’t discussed in the Bond Levy Report.

Another puzzle is why the Bond Levy Report understates the continued growth rate in the tax base by projecting only 6.5 percent cumulative growth over the next four years (just as we are entering a real estate recovery period) while forecasting an enrollment increase of 11 percent in the same period.

These are wacky numbers!

I am no expert on school funding and would welcome a fair, fact based rebuttal. But it seems like the LWSD bond funding promotion is not based in any reasonable budgetary process, but is a brash sales pitch appeal to emotion about the poor state of our schools without any fiduciary concerns. Increasing

taxes is not necessary and will lead to extravagant spending. Vote no to “shoot the moon” bond levies and send a message to the LWSD that you demand better management to create and maintain the quality education facilities we all want.

Jerry Nuernberger, Redmond

Let’s try something new instead of more levies You have to love the way everything gets turned around when politics and emotions get involved.

I would challenge you to find someone who is “anti-school or anti-children,” the label that is placed on a person just tired of government not paying for services it is responsible for. And there are the uninformed people who get caught up in not looking at facts but skew it into a dislike of children and schools.

We don’t get to vote on many of the pet projects that get funded; however, schools are always in

need and special levies put in place.

Does anyone look at the pie chart for their property tax bill? The state school funding is 22.39 percent of the total bill and the local school funding is 31.82 percent of the total bill. That is more than 54 percent and we still don’t have enough unless we pass this additional proposition.

It has nothing to do with wanting a “one room school house with a wood burning stove,” as Jill Stoddart suggests. It has to do with funding essentials first, then if there is enough left over for “environmentally sustainable” schools, go for it.

Many analysis report that building and paying the exorbitant prices for these “21st century schools” is not cost effective. By the time the cost is recouped, it is an outdated school and we will be right back with new bond measures for our emergency situation “for the kids.”

And once they are voted in the first time, they seem to be in for a lifetime. [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Brand new schools don’t provide a good education It’s been quite interesting and amusing to read recent letters from parents and advocacy groups complaining about “old schools” and “class overcrowding.” It’s as if only brand new schools and spacious classrooms are conducive to student learning and their future success.

On top of this, there was an initial $755 million bond measure to “address our urgent growth crisis.”

I cannot speak for others but I went to a high school outside the United States where the average class consisted of 60 students.

To top it off, the students were the “janitors.” We had to take turns daily to clean our own classrooms after school, wash the boards and shine the windows, including upstairs classrooms.

With all this “burden” on top of our academic pressures, college enrollment was at least 90 percent and about 60 percent or more went on to graduate school.

Needless to say, I chuckle when I read about “excited” parents defending and fighting for their children’s educational environment and funding. It’s as if newness and money were the criteria to a successful education.

All I can say, from my own first-hand experience, is when quality education is championed and instilled the school building, whether old, new or technology-filled, will not make or break a student’s success.

Anchi Miller, Kirkland

Why are we judging our school district based on their ability to save every penny? Lake Washington School District provides one of the best educations in our state. Families and businesses move here due, in part, to our schools and stunning graduates.

These are not empty words.

Compare district graduation rates, MSP/HSPE, SAT, awards — you name it. (http://reportcard.ospi. k12.wa.us/) Our district is in the top five in our state and they are focused on being the best. We should be celebrating how lucky we are to have such amazing schools and students!

Woo-hoo!

Redmond is growing and our district needs to accommodate that growth.

The district lost the first round this year and created the bond they thought the “no” crew were asking for: A bond for just the schools that are absolutely necessary. They agreed to save their other requests for a few years down the road.

Did the other side agree to this compromise? Not yet. I still hold out hope,

though. Now they are complaining that splitting the bonds up was some sort of trick. Saying the district is lying about the cost of the bond. They are angry that the district tears down perfectly good buildings.

Yes, the school district replaces buildings for a variety of reasons. After you factor in the energy savings by using new building standards we could maybe save a few percent over 30 years of use by gutting existing structures. We would be ignoring the significant hardship to students during a remodel process and what they would lose is having a modern and more inviting learning environment.

They are not lying about the cost of the bond since it truly will cost 25 cents more per $1,000 the first year because they are mixing this debt in with the rest of their amount. This is not a “cover up” and is how school districts present bonds to the public. While the 90 cent amount being quoted by the “no” crew is not entirely accurate because they are using 2011 property values rather than 2014, it is a reasonable approximation of the bond cost if it were financed separately.

However, the bond will be lumped with other district [ more letters page 6 ]

I am a grandmother and my daughter in-law is a teacher, so it is not at all that I am anti-school or anti-children. I am just practical.

Someone stated “why is it that teachers are the only profession that is underpaid?” It is true, when is the last time you heard plumbers, reporters, librarians or whoever are underpaid and we need to vote in more money for them? Many play on emotions to get these things accepted and point fingers to the “anti-school lobby.” Lets try something new and look at reality what can we afford to do without new levies and putting a hardship on all. What a new idea.

Redmond Alpha Company’s infantry soldiers assist at Oso work they are doing has the potential to become draining — emotionally and mentally in addition to physically — the sense of teamwork and camaraderie that has been created among volunteers has driven people above and beyond what they thought possible.

Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

It has been almost a month since the Oso mudslide, and recovery efforts are still going.

Helping in those efforts are members of the Alpha Company 1-161st Infantry Regiment of the Washington Army National Guard in Redmond.

The company has about 150 mechanized infantry soldiers and is led by Capt. Mike McCarthy, who said they were activated April 3.

“We are the only complete National Guard company that has been activated,” he said, adding that they will be there for a few more days. After that, the company will be replaced by another Washington National Guard unit.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

A LONG DAY

Sgt. 1st Class Michael Osborne, a Juanita High School graduate who works in and around Redmond as a heating, ventilation, air-conditioning technician, said while they have been up there, the soldiers have been doing everything they can to help the other agencies on site. This ranges from operating heavy equipment such as excavators to searching areas manually on foot. Osborne said they sometimes also have to dewater search areas with pumps as there can be a lot of mud and standing water.

debts and we will be paying 25 cents more if it passes.

It may be a shocker to some but the district does count their pennies. Every photocopy is logged. Every ream of paper tracked.

Soldiers from the 1-161st Infantry Regiment in Redmond have been helping with relief efforts for the Oso mudslide. The company was activated April 3 and will be there for a few more days before being replaced by another Washington National Guard Unit. Courtesy photo School in the Kent School District, said they have a pretty set schedule from day to day. He said they usually wake up around 4:45-5 a.m. and start the day with a briefing at 5:30 a.m. Search crews will typically get to the site around 8 a.m. and work till 5-6 p.m. McCarthy said there are concerns of contamination so searchers go through an hourlong decontamination process before ending the day with more meetings until about 7-7:30 p.m.

“It’s a pretty long day,”

When the A.G. Bell fifth grade wanted to go to camp it was the students that had to raise money to do it. When we put on a talent show or school play, every bit of it — including every audition form, was paid for by the parents

and PTSA. Their administration costs are in-line with every other district.

The school board still makes the same zero cents an hour they always have.

However, I am writing to ask that we occasionally forget all this

and judge this school district on their ability to educate our kids. Our Lake Washington School District is something we should be applauding. Stop for a moment and thank our teachers, principals, custodians and

school board members for doing such an amazing job. When they come to us, hat in hand, needing money to build a couple more schools then maybe we should reward them by saying “yes” so they can continue their amazing

said after spending time with local firefighters and seeing the genuine concern for their communities on their faces, the soldiers see how everyone in the surrounding communities has been affected by the mudslide. The overwhelming support they have been receiving motivates them to work harder.

“We’re glad to do so,” he said.

In addition to assisting with search efforts, the soldiers have also been doing humanitarian work in the area such as providing support for local food banks.

While the company has been providing support for the local communities, the communities have been showing their support for the soldiers.

For example, Sgt. Jaime Jamison, an assistant director of advance-

ment for the University of Washington’s School of Social Work, said they send out for laundry service and often times when it returns, there will be paintings, drawings and letters from school children in the area, wishing them well. Also, he said, when they make the six-mile drive from where they are staying to the site of the mudslide, kids waiting for their school buses will wave and flash them thumbs-up signs.

Jamison, who has also served in the U.S. Navy,

he said.

Although the 1-161st Infantry Regiment is based in Redmond, McCarthy said the soldiers are from all over Washington, including communities near Oso, so some have “direct connections to the individuals and communities affected by the horrific events on March 22.”

“We get to support our own communities,” McCarthy said.

Even those who are not from the area have been able to relate to those affected by the mudslide, which has claimed 39 lives as of Thursday.

For example, McCarthy said one soldier found a backpack full of toys while searching through debris.

The toys reminded him of toys from his childhood so he tracked down the family using the name written on the backpack.

Since then, McCarthy said the soldier has organized a fundraiser to support the family, who is staying at a local hotel.

“It is through difficult times like these that we bond together, find commonalities and move forward hand in hand,” McCarthy said.

www.redmond-reporter.com and often had trouble interacting with her classmates.

“Everything about my life started making sense,” Gardner said about how she felt when she learned about ASD. “This has been what’s ‘wrong’ with me all my life.”

She was 41 when she was diagnosed with ASD, saying she probably was not diagnosed earlier in life because when she was young, there wasn’t a name for what she had.

Once she was diagnosed with ASD, Gardner said she began to understand herself through a different life and understand that her difficulties were not psychological as she’d previously thought.

And since she finally understood the cause of her issues, she also learned how to support herself so she could accomplish what she wanted to get done.

NAVIGATING COLLEGE LIFE

1016330

After the struggles Gardner experienced in college, the 52-year-old now runs a program at Bellevue College (BC) to help students who are in similar positions as she had been.

As program director of Autism Spectrum Navigators (ASN), Gardner works with students with ASD. The program has a four-pronged focus: executive functions so students can get things done; self-advocacy so they know how to ask for help; self-regulation so they can learn how to handle changes to schedules or plans and social interactions so they can interact with others.

Through ASN, students

take one class per quarter with other ASN classmates. They also meet with a peer mentor once a week. In addition, the program also offers an opportunity for parents to participate and learn how to parent an adult child with ASD. Gardner designed and developed the program in 2010. But before this, she was director of a pilot program for students with ASD, which was developed by Susan Gjolmesli, director of BC’s Disability Resource Center.

Gjolmesli said she saw a need for such a program when she began noticing a lot of students who were on the autism spectrum struggling with college life. She saw the pain the students experienced from feeling like failures for not succeeding.

“I just said to myself, ‘I have to do something,’” she said about helping the students.

Gjolmesli said that first year, the pilot program was not perfect but it was very successful.

“I’m so proud of these students and proud of Sara,” Gjolmesli said about ASN’s success.

The ASN will hold its third-annual Autism Acceptance Video Game Tournament from 11 a.m.

to 4 p.m. on April 26 in the BC cafeteria at 3000 Landerholm Circle S.E. in Bellevue. Admission is free and entry into the tournament is $10. In addition to the tournament, there will be a kids’ game room, board games, a silent auction, speakers and a student panel, a quiet room and more.

LEARNING INDEPENDENCE

For Leonard McCoy, ASN has helped him have a better college experience. The 21-year-old is in his third year at BC and acknowledged that if it weren’t for ASN, things for him at school would be “probably not so good.” He said in the past he has felt he had been treated like a “second-class citizen” because of his ASD. But with ASN, McCoy said he can enjoy being treated like a “normal person” and likes that the people in charge of the program do not belittle his intelligence. He added that the program’s navigation assistants — the peer mentors — are also helpful.

Shannon Jones, one of those helpful assistants, works with six students this quarter and said her job is to just support the ASN students and help

improve their independence. She said they do not tutor students, but help them with skills outside of academics.

“It’s been an awesome experience,” said Jones, who attends the University of Washington and is studying to be a speech pathologist.

Jones said her time as a navigation assistant has also showed her that although people with ASD may share similar issues, they are also individuals.

“When you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism,” she said.

“They are definitely different and you should get to know them.”

As much as ASN assists students with the transition from high school to college, the program also assists parents with this change.

“It’s letting go and that’s scary for a parent,” admitted Carol Powers, whose son has been in the program for two years.

Powers said ASN has taught her how to back away from helping her son so much, adding that she has also seen a boost of confidence in her son since he’s been part of the program.

Tom said that it has been an incredible honor to serve in the legislature and to serve the people of the 48th District during the past 12 years.

“Working with the Majority Coalition Caucus and serving as the majority leader, has

www.redmond-reporter.com been historic for Washington and an opportunity of a lifetime for me personally,” said Tom. “I am very proud to have worked with such talented and dedicated individuals. We have changed how things get done in Olympia by focusing on jobs, requiring a sustainable budget that empowers our economy, and making education a priority with real action from pre-kindergarten programs to the first college tuition freeze in 26 years. The Majority Coalition Caucus has proven that when our public leaders stay true to core

principles and to what really matters on Main Street, the people of Washington benefit most of all.”

said. This will happen when an inattentive driver makes their turn, not realizing a car is traveling in their lane. In some cases, Krueger said, a collision could also include a pedestrian crossing the street.

“We want to reduce the end result,” Krueger said about collisions caused by distracted driving.

The city press release states the national average of distracted driving collisions is between 22-30 percent in one year. Redmond is above the national average at 38 percent, further stressing the urgency and importance of good law enforcement to help make it safer for drivers in Redmond, the release reads.

To reinforce this message, the city has recently installed 19 “Hang Up and Drive” signs throughout Redmond

to help end distracted driving.

“We want to change behavior,” Krueger said about the goal of the campaign.

While RPD’s efforts were focused on cell phone use this week, Krueger said there are other ways drivers can be distracted, including eating, playing with the radio dials or changing CDs and talking with passengers.

He said something else that has become more common is people driving with animals in their laps.

“It’s not real safe to have your dog in your lap while you’re driving,” Krueger said.

RPD is just one of several agencies throughout Washington to participate in the national campaign. In addition, the extra patrols are also part of Target Zero, the state’s strategic highway safety plan whose goal is to

reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries to zero by the year 2030.

Annie Kirk, a Target Zero manager for King County, said the national distracted driver campaign supports this goal. She said there have been extra law enforcement patrols targeting cell phone use while driving in King County in the past, but this is the first time a national campaign has been held.

This is also the first time a distracted driver campaign has reached the state level in Washington, Kirk added.

Kirk said Washington law states that drivers cannot text or have their cell phones up to their ears to talk while driving. However, she said, they can have their phones on speaker or use Bluetooth or other hands-free features in their vehicle. It is also OK for drivers to call 911 on their cell phones in the case of an emergency.

Washington law states drivers 17 and younger with an intermediate driver’s license cannot use cell phones while driving at all, Kirk said.

The fine for texting or using a cell phone while driving is $124.

For clarification of Washington’s cell phone laws or any of the state’s rules of the road, contact Krueger at dkrueger@redmond.gov or at (425) 556-2570.

Use organic nitrogen fertilizers like Milorganite (milorganite. com). This slow-release fertilizer encourages slow steady growth that requires less water. Plus, it will not burn plants during hot dry weather.

No matter where you live, being a waterwise gardener makes environmental and economic sense. And it’s really easier than you think.

Here are just a few of the easy and affordable ways to conserve water while growing a beautiful garden.

Grow plants suited to your climate, and this includes the average rainfall for your area. Select drought tolerant plants, that once established, require less on-going care.

Consider native plants like coneflower, yucca and penstemon as well as native and non-invasive ornamental grasses.

Be sure to group moisture-loving plants to-

watering in-ground and container gardens. Or place a rain barrel near your garden and collect rain directly from the sky. Use this water to supplement your garden’s moisture needs during drought.

Decorate or mask the barrels with vines, decorative fencing, containers, or nearby plantings.

And check with your local municipality as several states and communities have banned rain harvesting on private property.

Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation to save water by applying the water directly to the soil where it is needed. Consider connecting your rain barrel to a soaker hose in a nearby garden.

Just open the spigot and allow gravity to slowly

empty the water throughout the day. Check to make sure water is evenly distributed throughout the garden.

And always water thoroughly and less frequently to encourage deep drought tolerant roots. Add a layer of organic mulch like shredded leaves, evergreen needles or herbicidefree grass clippings to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. As these break down they add organic matter to the soil improving the water holding ability of sandy and rocky soils.

Allow lawns to go dormant during droughts.

Apply one-fourth inch of water every three to four weeks during extended droughts. This keeps the crown of the plant alive while the grass remains dormant. Do not apply weed killers and minimize foot and equipment traffic on dormant lawns.

Redmond celebrates spring with Festival of Color SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Last Saturday, folks of diverse age groups and national origins gathered together for four hours of pure fun at the Festival of Color to celebrate the Indian festival of Holi. People threw colored powder at one another, danced and ate at Redmond City Hall.

Mayor John Marchione launched the play of colors with a countdown at 1 p.m., when a splash of bright colors went up in the air and upon folks at the festival.

Other guests who announced countdowns for color plays included Sen. Andy Hill of the 45th Legislative District, Seattle Center Managing Artistic Director Steve Sneed, City of Redmond arts administrator Joshua Heim, Redmond Arts Commission Chair Rob

Leavitt and Rep. Zack Hudgins of the 11th Legislative District.

Rep. Ross Hunter of the 48th District also led a countdown, saying the energy was infectious, to the point of attracting passers-by and trail users nearby to join the festivities.

“Best. Party. Ever. The Indian festival of Holi was held at Redmond City Hall…I’d guess there were 800 people there covered in color dyes, dancing and having a great time…The energy was infectious,” Hunter wrote on his Facebook page.

Latha Sambamurti, the festival’s artistic director, said, “Through this festival, we created a common gathering context for the community to have fun, like how folks in India have been doing for ages. We were pleased to attract folks

from other cities like Seattle and Sammamish.

We boosted the participatory aspect through dance contests and color contests.”

The festival began with stage entertainment, led and provided

by Ayush Attri Sharma, a 16-year-old-boy from Sammamish, who sang in six different genres, in seven languages. His singing was followed by three hours of music and dance entertainment hosted by DJ Vinit Jain. The festival also featured dance contests and color contests, with prize winners.

The Festival of Color was staged by a partnership between the City of Redmond and Vedic Cultural Center (VCC), which provided volunteers, working under the guidance of their president Harry Terhania for the event.

it can make it harder to turn to healthier eating regimens.

“The main goal of going on a diet is to get off it as quickly as possible,” a client of mine used to say. I’m sure his sentiment is widely shared.

Another reason why diets are unfavorably looked upon is that they don’t work in most cases, even if they show initial success. It can be maddeningly frustrating to realize the futility of one’s sincere efforts when

When people hear the word “diet,” most think of calorie restriction, deprivation, making up for past indulgences and so forth. There is something unpleasant, almost punitive about the whole concept of dieting, which is unfortunate because

Being intimately familiar with the scenario, I tell my clients from the get-go that if their diet leaves them feeling deprived and unsatisfied, they will not be able to maintain it in the long run, no matter how beneficial it may be to their health.

In its original meaning, the term “diet” does not describe a departure from one’s regular eating styles. On the contrary, it simply means what and how someone usually eats.

Certain eating habits may have

developed over long periods of time, often starting during childhood.

When established patterns begin to cause problems, e.g. unwanted weight gain, elevated cholesterol levels, adult-onset diabetes, etc., some form of intervention is likely to be required. How effective the intervening measures will be depends on multiple factors.

All need for change starts with a crisis, benign or serious.

Nobody arrives at the decision to change his or her eating patterns in a vacuum. There may be acute health problems, issues of vanity, a desire for winning back youthful rigor — whatever. An important question is how do the required changes fit into someone’s existing circumstances.

Few people can completely undo and remake their current lifestyle features. There are families, occupations, commitments, and multiple other concerns involved. Diet and lifestyle are intertwined with all that. How can we expect, for instance, someone to eat in unaccustomed ways, establish and maintain an unfamiliar exercise routine, stop all detrimental habits like smoking or drinking at once and go on with life as if nothing happened? It’s a ludicrous proposition.

Then there is the matter of personality. Some (very few) people are able to turn on a dime. The vast majority tends to implement changes only in small increments. In my book, “The Healthy Diner,” I describe different personality types I’ve come across over my many years of health counseling.

There are people who find it relatively easy to try out new approaches, others prefer to stick with the tried and true.

Others again are ready to take up whatever is new and exciting but lose interest or don’t have the stamina to see things through over time. None of these attitudes are to be judged as better or worse, but they are predictors of how likely a person will succeed with certain methods.

Eventually, you should be able to come up with what I call the “right diet,” which is specifically designed for you, and the only one I trust to produce lasting results. You may be successful by following, at least in part, a particular prescription, or borrow from several. In the end, however, it has to be all yours.

Redmond High School fastpitch is off to a hot start Two games in two days. Two solid pitchers. Two Redmond High victories.

That’s how things went for the Mustangs earlier this week and the girls are elated about how they’ve begun their 4A Kingco season. At the Reporter’s deadline, the team was a spotless 4-0 in the Crest Division and 7-1 overall.

“We definitely are strong offensively and I think we need to be consistent with that and then also work on our defensive end,” said senior Emily Rockhill, who pitched the Mustangs to a 10-5 triumph over Issaquah on Monday. On Tuesday, sophomore Kaija Gibson entered the pitchers’ circle for the first time in three years and earned the win in Redmond’s 17-6 shellacking of Roosevelt.

“It felt good to get back out there, but it was different, I love playing shortstop,” Gibson said.

“I remembered what it was like when I was a little girl playing out on the field — my dad was yelling out in the stands … it was kind of the same thing and I just loved it.”

On offense, Gibson had six hits during the two games, including a home run; Rachel

Robinson had a homer and Keona Tibbs had two hits against Roosevelt; and Elaine Wang had two hits and two RBIs to go along with Tatyana Forbes’ three hits against Issaquah.

The Parris Mamon- and Allison Mitchell-coached squad is coming off a stellar 2013 season with a 15-8 overall finish, including a 9-5 showing in the Crest Division. The Mustangs capped their season by earning the Tom Rizzuto Award for sportsmanship.

Wang, who plays third base, and Rockhill are the team’s lone seniors and they hope Redmond can sustain its early season success.

“It’s our last year to prove what we can do as a team and our last chance to make it to state,” Wang said of her and Rockhill. “We have a whole bunch of confidence coming in this year knowing that we’ve only lost one senior from last year. We have a really strong team.”

Wang said she was a little nervous moving to the thirdbase position this year, but she’s starting to find her groove.

Rockhill is supportive of her fellow senior, noting that Wang is a hard worker who will shine at the hot corner.

Other solid defenders include outfielders Forbes, Lauren Mars

and Amirah Milloy, according to Wang.

They’re a tight-knit group, as well, bonding in the training room, telling inside jokes and acting silly, Wang noted.

“I love my teammates and I love to have them out there on the field, but I also like to just talk to them because they’re really great people all around,” Rockhill added.

While they’re playing in the moment and gunning for state, some Mustangs have college ball on their agendas.

Following her senior season, Rockhill will continue playing ball at Pomona College, Gibson and Milloy have already committed to the University of Washington and Forbes has committed to Appalachian State University.

“It’s a really amazing school,” said Rockhill, who enjoyed meeting with the coach and some of the players during her Pomona visit. “I really like the program and, of course, I love that it’s in Southern California, so it will be nice and sunny for all my games.”

Gibson had her eye on UW since she was 8 years old. She’s attended clinics over the years and remembers coach Heather Tarr yelling at her, “You’re gonna be a Husky someday!”

For Neare, it’s all about assembling an immersive multi-sensory artistic experience – not just a spectator event.

“I wanted to create something that is inclusive, celebratory — an event that allows participants to be swept into the action and become part of the show,” she said. “I’m really interested, as an artist, in fostering connections to the public sphere and cultivating creative possibility in Redmond. To me, that’s what resonates.”
