Education Hill couple in hospital after stabbing spak@redmond-reporter.com

At 4 a.m. Monday, the Redmond Police Department (RPD) responded to a report of a stabbing in a residential neighborhood on Education Hill.

The 66-year-old man was reportedly stabbed multiple times in the neck by his wife.

He was able to exit the house and contact a neighbor who notified police. The man was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

He was in and out of surgery by 10:25 a.m. Monday and is currently in the intensive care unit and in stable condition, according to RPD. Police surrounded the resi-

dence and made attempts to contact his wife, a 54-year-old woman, who was still believed to be in the house. She did not respond. Redmond officers breached the residence and located her in a second floor bedroom. She was in and out of consciousness with multiple knife wounds.

The woman was also transported to Harborview.

As of Wednesday afternoon, she was still at the hospital in stable condition and in custody with charges pending, according to RPD. There was no one else in the residence.

There is a history of domestic violence between the two.

Redmond detectives are continuing to investigate.

Police arrest man suspected of four downtown burglaries ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Redmond police arrested a 30-year-old Seattle man suspected of four burglaries Monday morning in a strip mall in the 16600 block of Redmond Way downtown.

According to crime prevention officer Mike Dowd, officers were dispatched to the area at 1:26 a.m. after receiving a citizen’s call of four broken storefront windows.

The citizen also reported that blood was present near the businesses, which didn’t have alarms sounding.

Four officers, including the K9 unit, initially searched the area to no avail. One officer ventured a few blocks away

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Redmond Police Department’s booking facility.

“Excellent work by nightshift officers and an observant citizen,” Dowd said.

Police are waiting for videos from the businesses to continue their investigation.

Changes may be on the horizon for Redmond Saturday Market SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

For 39 years, the Redmond Saturday Market (RSM) has been providing the community with local produce, goods, crafts and more.

Nearly 30 of those years have been spent at the market’s current location at 7730 Leary Way downtown. When this year’s market opens on Saturday, it will be no different. But the same may not be said for the future. With Redmond Town Center (RTC) under new management, there is the possibility of the RSM either moving to the

town center’s Center Court or leaving the town center property altogether.

RSM President Pete Godwin said there are a lot of unknowns about the situation at the moment, but one of their concerns about moving to the middle of the town center is the market losing its autonomy and the ability to decide what can and cannot be sold. Currently, everything sold at the RSM must be grown, made and manufactured in Washington.

Courtney Klein with JSH Properties, Inc., the company that owns RTC, acknowledged RSM organizers’ need for this. [ more MARKET page 12 ]

Saturday Market opening schedule The Redmond Saturday Market will open at 9 a.m. tomorrow to kick off its 39th season at 7730 Leary Way next to Redmond Town Center.

Mayor John Marchione will cut the ribbon to open the market with a soundtrack provided by the Redmond High School band.

From noon to 2 p.m., Melanie and her Blues Swayed Dudes will perform at the gazebo.

Heart of Dreams alpacas and members of the Redmond Historical Society, King County Master Gardeners and Redmond Fire Department will be on hand all day.

The market is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday, May through October.

Thor Andrews Jr. of Redmond pleaded guilty on Monday to three counts of second-degree identity theft, two counts of second-degree vehicle prowl, one count of second-degree burglary and one count of possession of stolen mail in King County Superior Court in Seattle.

According to court documents, the prosecuting attorneys’ recommendation states that the 18-year-old Education Hill resident won’t have to serve about three and

a half years in prison for the crimes he committed if he completes a Residential Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative Program (DOSA). Andrews needs to complete the program successfully to stay out of prison.

Court documents state that Andrews admitted to “committing crimes at an alarming rate due to a severe addiction to heroin and opiates.”

Andrews’ sentencing case is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. on May 9 before judge Helen Halpert in the Seattle courthouse.

On Jan. 9, Andrews pleaded not guilty in

˜

It has been hard to miss all the attention being given to the legalization of marijuana for adults. Many adults are understandably concerned about the increased availability of pot and its effect on our kids.

However, less is being said about a very real and alarming youth drug trend: the increased use of amphetamines.

Commonly known as meth, speed, Ecstasy or coke, amphetamines stimulate the central nervous system. For years, TV and movies have portrayed how young adults use these drugs to pull all-nighters before exams or to party all night long.

But did you know that growing numbers of children and teens are abusing legal amphetamines such as Adderall and Ritalin, used widely to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?

Clients at Youth Eastside Services (YES) say they are taking these drugs not necessarily to get high, but often simply to get through their day. And what a day it is! Consider a student who gets up at five in the morning to go to early sports practice, followed by a demanding day at school and a swim meet at a neighboring school.

She crams in some studying in the car after her dad picks her up. She eats a late supper and then heads to her room to finish her term paper and study for a physics exam — all the while texting with several friends.

It’s after midnight before she collapses into a restless sleep, because she’s thinking about her part-time job, youth symphony, church

youth group and the family ski trip coming up. It’s no surprise that such a teen resorts to stimulants just to keep her head above water.

Staying up late by taking “study drugs” often begins with highly advertised — and ridiculously caffeinated — energy drinks like Red Bull or 5-Hour-Energy. When these readily available stimulants no longer make the grade, some youth step up to prescription drugs. At YES, we repeatedly hear that our clients buy Adderall or Ritalin from their friends who have legitimate prescriptions (to manage ADD or ADHD). Some kids either don’t want to take their medication or would rather have the money. Simply put, school has become “the place” to score easy speed.

When a child takes another student’s prescription, the risk of overdose is high (obviously, there are no recommended dosages or pharmacist’s instructions). Unfortunately, kids assume that since the drugs are legal and their friends are supposed to take them every day, the pills won’t be harmful.

Another source of prescription stimulants may be in your own medicine cabinet.

Teens have learned that antidepressants and Sudafed (or other cold medications including pseudoephedrine) can help with an allnighter. I cannot stress enough that you need to keep all prescription medicines in a locked cabinet or box whenever you have children in your home.

“I take what I need to stay awake” is something we often hear at YES. Many young people connect their substance use to the growing pressure to succeed. The expectations placed on youth these days are truly unprecedented. We encourage our kids from a young age to excel in school, sports, volunteer commitments and artistic endeavors. We sign them up for lots of enriching activities.

We give our kids smartphones that put the world in their hands 24/7. We want their college applications to stand above the crowd so [ more TEENS page 6 ]

Support Sen. Andy Hill It is a pity Matt Isenhower does not run for Rep. Larry Springer’s or Rep. Roger Goodman’s seat. Then we would have two fiscally focused, pro student-funding advocates, as opposed to those who want to increase taxes for the very expensive bloated bureaucracy that characterizes the Lake Washington School District.

Sen. Andy Hill worked to get a $1 billion budget with strong support for education and a balanced budget and no tax increases.

Let’s consider the consensus that Hill made with his Democratic colleagues for a 89 percent vote to pass the budget. A budget that Hill worked so hard to move forward with great support for essential school services and without tax increases.

If Mr. Isenhower wishes to help the schools, he could work to trim the excessive bureaucracy, the wasteful and very expensive program of tearing down good solid

buildings for overpriced replacements, and focus the money on education and a solid future for the students.

Oh, but wait, Mr. Isenhower is thrilled to be selected by the Washington Education Association (WEA) as their candidate.

So the WEA’s power grabs at the expense of the teachers and children happens again.

A few facts to back my assertions up from Josh Amato at Shift Washington.

The WEA exerted its considerable influence over Democrat lawmakers in Olympia to withhold $40 million per year in federal education funding for needy children because it didn’t want to take a teachers test seriously.

The WEA persuaded Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, ranking member of the Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee, to vote against her own bill that would keep $40 million in federal funds for Washington state schools by making a simple adjustment to state

law. Once again, all because the WEA didn’t want to take a simple test seriously.

The WEA refuses to drop its lawsuit against charter schools despite the fact that those charter schools exist to provide a stable educational environment to homeless children and at-risk youth.

Andy Hill is good for the budget, children and teachers. No, we do not need another shill for the WEA. Just say “no” to Mr. Isenhower.

Steven Swedenburg, Kirkland

Sen. Andy Hill’s budget missed our priorities As a parent and constituent, I felt compelled to respond to Sen. Andy Hill’s claim that his budget funded our priorities, especially education.

Hill did not make a significant increase in education spending during the last legislative session as he claims. While education spending did increase, it was only by about 1 percent of what the state Supreme Court and members of both parties

have said is needed to meet the needs of our children. That means we have 99 percent more to go.

Sen. Hill chose to give lip service to what is a looming obligation to our kids and our state’s future.

Sen. Hill could have added $200 million to Washington’s education system by eliminating inefficient, unprofitable tax breaks, but instead he protected these tax breaks, prioritizing oil company profits over kids. It is time to make real investments in our children. I give Sen. Hill’s budget an F grade when it comes to our kids and our priorities.

Kathleen Reynolds, Redmond

• As a constituent of Sen. Andy Hill’s, I read with great interest his guest column in your newspaper (addressing our community’s priorities for government, April 25).

choose the right path.

Unfortunately, the path Sen. Hill has chosen leaves our families and our schools to fend for themselves. As the Senate’s chief budget writer, Hill likes to talk about education. Yet those like myself who care about our local schools know this legislative session was another missed opportunity for our kids.

Our schools are so severely overcrowded and underfunded due to the failure of Hill and the Senate Republicans to meet our constitutional obligation to fund education. Our very own Lake Washington School District needs 79 new classrooms to reduce class sizes in kindergarten through third grade.

There were solutions readily available this session, but Hill chose not to take advantage of them.

Hill refused to close a single one of the 650 tax loopholes on the books — including one for “Big Oil” — that cost our state billions each year. Instead of closing tax loopholes, he proposed to open 18 new tax loopholes that would have cost us $87 million. Hill prioritized greedy corporations and insider lobbyists over our kids’ future.

Our education system will not be funded until we elect people willing to do more than just pat themselves on the back.

This November, I ask my neighbors to join me in voting for Matt Isenhower, who has promised to support working families and our kids’ education instead of corporate lobbyists.

Sharon Sherrard, Kirkland

I’m against tax increases I vote “no” on any and all tax increases. I don’t care what they’re for. Whether roads, schools or 911 services, I always vote “no.”

(Why must we vote for a basic service like 911, when we don’t get to vote for a frill like freeway art?) I also vote against any politician who advocates any tax increase. I particularly

18,503 to pass.

The $404 million bond would fund the construction of three new elementary schools, two in Redmond and one in Kirkland; a new middle school; a new westside STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) focused school on the Juanita High School (JHS) campus; the rebuild of JHS; and an addition to Lake Washington High School. The bond would also leave some funds for future capital projects.

Results will be certified on Tuesday.

vote against any politician who promises to “invest” in roads, education etc. These politicians can’t even be honest about their desire for a tax increase.

Well into this supposed recovery, I suffered a series of pay cuts. I now make 40 percent less than I did before this recession. I consider myself lucky, since I still have a job. Each year, my disposable income is further reduced by property tax increases, sales tax increases, car tab increases and gas tax increases. In a supposedly low inflation environment, prices for essentials like food and gas have gone through the roof. Obamacare raised my health insurance by 46 percent and doubled my deductible. That’s 46 percent more for half the coverage. As a 53-year-old male, Obamacare forces me to buy insurance I don’t need, like pregnancy and prescription coverage. This unneeded coverage raises my costs so much that I can no longer afford the dental insurance I really need and want.

So to all levels of government, I want to say I am through. I am tapped out. I am sucked dry.

However, even if I were doing well, I would still vote “no” on every tax increase. I will not willingly pay for your bloated bureaucracy, yearly pay raises and generous pensions. If we give government any more money, all we can expect is more incompetence, arrogance and a general lack of value for the dollar.

Except for the morning and evening runs to and from Seattle, I see mostly empty buses. As I slog through Eastside traffic, it is obvious that these empty buses contribute more than their share to the infuriating congestion. Metro has the third highest operating cost per mile in the country. Each rider’s fare is subsidized 82 percent by the taxpayer.

Our road funds are diverted to fringe uses like bike lanes and bus-only lanes. The majority of our highway funds already go to various mass-transit

agencies. Most people drive and will always drive.

Instead of actually prioritizing congestion reduction, the government pushes stupid light rail plans that actually reduce road capacity on I-90. They build a convention center over the I-5 freeway knowing that it would create a permanent chokepoint. Several years ago, Kemper Freeman came up with a cost-effective and common-sense plan to reduce congestion by improving roads at known chokepoints. The usual, “you can’t build your way out of congestion” crowd shot his plan down.

Even when we actually manage to get a new road project started, it’s usually designed to carry fewer cars. The viaduct replacement will carry fewer vehicles. SR-520 has no added general purpose lanes, but of course, it will have a state of the art bike lane. Even worse, the problems with the 520 concrete pontoons and Big Bertha drilling machine are ample evidence of the general incompetence of government to do anything.

The government at all levels already collects plenty of revenue. What is needed is serious spending reform. Government labor unions must be eliminated. (When government workers bargain with a boss who owes his political survival to the workers he is negotiating with, it is an obvious conflict of interest.) So-called “prevailing wage” laws must be eliminated. (This law forces the government to pay more than actual market rate for construction labor.)

Using the sales tax on transportation projects to divert transportation funds to the general fund should also be stopped. Frankly, if the government could just complete a road project without wildly inflated costs and total mismanagement, it would go a long way to restoring my faith in government. When I start seeing the government get serious about real reform, I’ll reconsider my position on taxes.

Community meeting regarding mosque draws large crowd Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

It was standing-room only in the Redmond City Council chambers Wednesday evening as residents from Overlake and members of the Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque gathered for a community meeting regarding a mosque proposed for an empty plot of land near Microsoft.

The meeting was the result of neighbors’ concerns about the possibility of the religious group building its new mosque at 15252 N.E. 51st St. — putting it in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

As previously reported in

the Redmond Reporter, one of the main concerns people have is related to the additional traffic and congestion a new 20,000-plus square-foot community facility could bring to the neighborhood. Residents are also worried that members of the mosque’s congregation will park in the neighborhood when the 36-stall onsite parking lot becomes full. Residents also had concerns regarding additional noise that could come from the proposed mosque.

To address these issues, City of Redmond planner Thara Johnson, who has been overseeing the project, first provided background informa-

Overlake residents and members of the Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque attend Wednesday night’s community meeting at Redmond City Hall regarding a possible new location for the mosque. samantha pak, Redmond Reporter

tion on the planning process.

She told the community that because the mosque is a religious building, it is permissible under the neighborhood’s current zoning code. Johnson also explained that approving Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque’s — or the applicant’s — permit is an administrative process, thus not requiring City Council approval.

Many of those who attended the meeting did not agree with the latter and some voiced the opinion that Redmond City Council should vote on the issue as the members are elected officials and representatives of the community. These sentiments were met with applause from many in the audience.

During discussions about traffic, Hozaifa Cassubhai, a representative speaking on behalf of Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque, explained that they are Dawoodi Bohras Muslims — a very small denomination of the Islamic faith with about one million members worldwide, compared to the 1.6 billion total of all Muslims worldwide — with a local con-

Redmond’s transportation division, said based on this information, as well as a traffic study, they estimate about 1221 additional vehicle trips in the area during the peak hours of 4-6 p.m.

In response to residents’ concerns about parking, Seemann said, “The parking can be accommodated onsite.”

Habib also told the community that their 36 proposed parking stalls would be sufficient, and during bigger events, they would utilize valet parking to double park cars and increase parking capacity to 65 spots. And if this is not enough, he said Anjuman-eBurhani Mosque would utilize off-site parking at VFW Post 2995, which is less than a mile southwest of the proposed site, and provide a shuttle service to the mosque.

In terms of noise, Habib told the audience that they never have broadcast calls to prayer like other mosques may do. In addition, all of the Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque’s activities take place indoors so neighbors don’t have to worry about things getting loud, he said.

Following the city’s and Anjuman-e-Burhani Mosque’s presentations, members of the

audience had the opportunity to comment and ask questions.

In addition to the desire to see the issue put in front of City Council, residents also shared their grievances about not being notified earlier in the planning process. A few people who spoke also pointed out inconsistencies in the plan regarding the numbers used for the building’s capacity and the community’s congregation size. One man added that he is also concerned about the future and how Anjumane-Burhani Mosque would accommodate growth within its congregation. Many people also expressed that they are not satisfied with the traffic and parking studies.

After about two hours, it became clear to city planners that the issues concerning the proposed mosque would not be resolved in one night, so an additional community meeting will be held May 14.

Details for the meeting’s time and place have not been finalized yet. After that, the issue will go before the city’s Design Review Board on May 15.

This meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Redmond City Council chambers, at 15670 N.E. 85th St. and is open to the public.

Kerr’s emotions flow when meeting people who came to his aid after heart attack

Dan Kerr (left) shakes hands with Lance Traicoff, one of four civilians who came to his aid March 30 after he had a heart attack while driving in Redmond. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

When a person experiences a medical emergency, there is a time gap from the time it happens, to when someone calls 911, to when first responders arrive on the scene.

In the case of a sudden cardiac arrest, that time gap can be all it takes before an individual sustains a brain injury from lack of oxygen.

Redmond Fire Department (RFD) paramedic Doug Scheaffer said it takes just 4-6 minutes before a brain injury can occur, but the use of CPR can greatly reduce this risk.

On March 30, Scheaffer was one of several first responders in Redmond who saw firsthand the importance of CPR following a heartrelated medical emergency.

That morning, 59-year-old Dan Kerr of Woodinville had a heart attack while driving along Avondale Road Northeast. He survived thanks to the quick response of four community members and their ability to provide CPR until first responders arrived.

Just a few days after the event, Kerr was out of the hospital. Within a week, he visited Redmond Fire Station 11, one of the stations that responded to the scene, to thank the firefighters and paramedics who worked on him.

On Wednesday, Kerr visited Fire Station 16, the other station that responded to the call, and met some of the

other first responders who worked on him as well as three of the four civilians who called 911 and performed CPR on him.

It was an emotional event for Kerr when he met Kristyn Brown, Lance Traicoff and Erik von Fuchs (Matthew Gallagher, the fourth civilian who came to Kerr’s aid was out of town at the time and could not attend).

“I want you guys to know that my chest really hurts — it’s a good hurt,” Kerr told his rescuers when he met them.

The meeting was emotional for Brown, Traicoff and von Fuchs, as well, as following the event, they did not know if Kerr had survived that day.

“I was shaking,” von Fuchs said as he recalls his response to the events in late March.

Von Fuchs and Gallagher were the first to arrive at Kerr’s truck after he went into cardiac arrest. Von Fuchs said he remembers seeing the vehicle going through the intersection of Avondale Road and Northeast Union Hill Road at about 5 mph, looking at the driver and realizing something was wrong.

He parked his vehicle in the nearby Aegis Living parking lot and then ran to Kerr’s truck to help, along with Gallagher.

Brown and Traicoff arrived on the scene shortly after and it was Brown — a veterinarian — who initiated CPR. She said they practice CPR at her clinic and so she had some

experience. And even though she wasn’t sure what type of medical episode Kerr had experienced, she said starting CPR couldn’t hurt.

“We had nothing to lose,” she said.

For Kerr, all he had to lose was his life, so he is very grateful to the four citizens who came to his aid.

“I don’t know what to say,” he said. “What do you say to people that save your life except ‘Thank you?’”

Members of Kerr’s extended family were also in attendance to thank both the civilian rescuers as well as the first responders.

Kerr added that the heart attack was caused by a clogged artery, but he has not had any sort of heart issues prior to this. He will go back for a followup check up with doctors in about three months.

In addition to meeting Kerr for the first time after his heart attack, Brown, Traicoff and von Fuchs were presented with a special medal from RFD for their efforts on Wednesday. Gallagher is set to meet Kerr and receive his medal next week.

Fire Chief Tommy Smith was on hand to present them with the medal. He said they couldn’t have scripted the situation more perfectly, saying the four civilians’ role in the emergency was “absolutely priceless.”

“You can’t put a dollar sign on that,” Smith said about saving Kerr’s life.

Sustainability is an essential ingredient to Redmond’s construction success Special to the Reporter

With Redmond’s residential and business communities continuing to flourish, several citywide development projects designed to accommodate these choices are under way, including the downtown and Overlake endeavors.

Integral to bringing these new efforts to life is the city’s persistent commitment to sustainable, efficient construction practices.

“Encouraging environmental stewardship — both at work and in the community — is a necessary ingredient to the way we approach our

construction endeavors and to the vitality and growth of our city,” said City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “From large-scale, long-term efforts such as our Overlake Village initiative to simple everyday choices at work, each decision we make has an impact.”

Though Redmond has been lauded for its design trends and its commitment to sustainable efforts for years, the city’s current construction climate, with its increased focus on efficiency, can be traced back to 2009 when the city adopted the Green Building and Green Infrastructure Incentive

Program, an initiative designed to implement green development and reduce impact on carbon footprints and natural resources.

“Initially, the program was targeted towards single family residential developments,” said Cathy Beam, a principal environmental planner for the city’s Department of Planning and Community Development. “But we ultimately expanded it out to include multi-family, commercial and mixeduse developments.”

According to Beam, the city has succeeded in tapping into a recent paradigm shift that not

Hopelink launches annual End Summer Hunger program Special to the Reporter

When the bell rings for summer break, more than 16,000 kids in north and east King County stand to lose something most people take for granted: a regular healthy, nutritious breakfast or lunch.

For local kids who are part of their school’s free and reduced-price meal programs, summer vacation can mean an end to knowing for sure when they will eat again.

Hopelink CEO Lauren Thomas said the consequences of this gap extend far beyond the discomfort of going to bed hungry.

“We know that when children don’t have access to nutritious food when they are young, they sometimes face developmental challenges that can affect them for the rest of their lives,” Thomas said.

“We know that hungry children get sick more often — and they are hospitalized more often.

And we know that hungry children have more social and behavioral problems because they can’t adapt as effectively to stressful situations. But we also know that hungry kids often lack the stamina to just be kids, which — when you’re a child during the summer months — can be

the most important thing of all,” Thomas added.

“Hopelink’s End Summer Hunger program is a local effort to ensure that children living in our community have the best possible opportunity to grow up healthy and prepared to learn while their parents are working to get back on their feet.”

End Summer Hunger — running now through August — is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign aimed at ensuring that local kids in low-income families have enough to eat while they’re on summer break.

The fundraising drive brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide food for kids who receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Over the next several months, Hopelink is encouraging groups and individuals alike to get involved with the campaign.

The proceeds from End Summer Hunger will stock the agency’s five food banks for the highdemand summer months when kids are not in school and the subsidized school programs are not available. Last year, 6,148 visits to Hopelink food banks during the summer

months provided food that children would likely not have had otherwise.

The End Summer Hunger program provides additional healthy breakfast and lunch-type foods to current food bank clients with school-aged children; including fresh fruit and fruit juices, peanut butter, cereal, ramen and snacks.

Bank of America is the Presenting Sponsor for End Summer Hunger 2014. In addition to Signature Sponsor First Tech Credit Union, lead sponsors are Concur Technologies, Labor Ready, Lakeside Industries and UnitedHealthcare. Major sponsors are Central Market and AvalonBay Communities, and CamWest Development is a supporting sponsor.

Schools that support the End Summer Hunger program encourage children in classrooms to collect coins, while businesses, organizations and civic or community clubs hold food drives, fund drives, or both.

with real firefighters and prepare for a zombie invasion at Pacific Science Center’s Camps for Curious Minds.

Located on The Overlake School campus in Redmond (20301 N.E. 108th St.), Camps for Curious Minds will offer stimulating themes for students in first through eighth grades in July and August.

Campers will experiment and discover the world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through a variety of subjects.

Each camp is designed to engage children in creative thinking through hands-on experiments, challenging projects and most importantly, unique, fun experiences.

“Our camps offer a superior combination of hands-on learning, inquir y based exploration, experienced staff, engaging themes and accessible locations for curious minds of all ages,” said Chris Sullivan, Youth & Family Programs manager for Pacific Science Center.

Here are just a few of the engaging camps at The Overlake School in Redmond that are still available for registration: Firefighter Academy for grades 1-2 Get Set To Be A Vet

for grades 2-4 Robot Workshop for grades 6-8 For full listings of camps at The Overlake School, visit http:// www.pacificscience center.org/Camps/ summer.

Laura Matheson displays her flowers at last year’s market. Reporter file photo Town Center and the community,” she said.

In addition to the possibility of losing autonomy, Godwin said another concern about potentially moving to Center Court is that market vendors would be in direct competition with stores in the town center.

“You’re mixing the market vendors with commercial vendors,” he said, adding that RSM organizers pride themselves on not being like the typical mall vendors. “This would be a huge change for us.”

Godwin, a Bothell resident who is also an RSM vendor

“They want to make sure to run their market the way they have been,” she said, adding that they like the market’s emphasis on local products and would like to keep it that way if the market moved to Center Court.

“We think all of that is great.”

Klein, who is the town center’s property manager, said since JSH took over RTC in August, they have been in the process of upgrading Center Court to make it more pedestrian friendly. One part of that process has been the idea of incorporating a weekly market and Klein said they would like to make plans to accommodate RSM. “We’re trying to include them more into Redmond

selling concrete garden art, also noted that the structures under which some of the vendors are housed on market Saturday were built by volunteers when RSM first moved to its current location and are very sturdy.

This indicates an intention that this was supposed to be a permanent location for the market, he said.

“We’d like to stay there, ideally,” Godwin said.

He admitted that vendors at the RSM are spoiled in that they are able to park their cars right behind their booths. Moving locations would mean losing that perk. In addition, he said if RTC goes ahead and holds a Saturday market — which would be a separate one from RSM — they could lose some

vendors to that market.

Since staying in the same location for future market seasons may not be possible, RSM organizers are looking at various potential locations including Redmond City Hall and Downtown Park.

“We’re trying to keep our options open,” Godwin said.

But before seriously considering any place, he said they have to look at things logistically and make sure they would be able to meet health codes, provide hot water for vendors selling food, adequate restrooms, electricity and other details.

“These are considerations we have to take into account,” he said about the search for a new location.

Klein pointed out that if RSM were to move to Center Court, this would solve some of the logistical issues such as having portable restrooms. She said JSH’s intention in renovating Center Court is to incorporate a market, but details such as whether it will be RSM, a separate market and what day of the week it will be held are still in the works.

RSM Director Nicole Wrigley agreed that there are a lot of different things to think about when considering the future of RSM. But one aspect of the RSM is especially important to them.

“It’s really essential that wherever we do end up that we can continue to operate as we are,” she said.

Runners hold hands while participating in last Saturday’s Color Run for Heart. Courtesy of the American Heart Association American Heart Association (AHA) Puget Sound.

It was through her work there that she connected with her peers in Redmond to help organize an event to raise money and awareness for heart health.

The first-ever Color Run for Heart 5K run/ walk was held last Saturday at Redmond Town Center (RTC) and was organized by leadership students at Redmond High School (RHS) with help from the AHA Puget Sound — and by extension, Luqman.

THINKING BIG

The event came about through Dawn McCutcheon, the youth market director for AHA Puget Sound, who has been working to raise hearthealth awareness at the high school level. She said this usually manifests in the form of a “red out for heart” event in which people wear red to a sports game to show their support for heart health. When she teamed up with the leadership class at RHS in the fall of 2013, McCutcheon said the students wanted to expand things beyond their school walls to include the community.

The result was the Color Run. “I was very excited that they wanted to do it bigger,” said McCutcheon, who is a sudden cardiac arrest survivor.

She said the students reached out to other schools within the Lake Washington School District to promote the community event and McCutcheon said their efforts were rewarded.

The Color Run had about 250 participants and they have raised more than $6,500 so far, with more

money coming in from donors. McCutcheon said high schools usually raise an average of about $2,200 in their fundraisers.

“They did really well,” she said about the RHS leadership team. “It’ll be one of the top fundraising high schools in the state.”

A PERSONAL CONNECTION

Elaine Wang, who was co-head for the Color Run along with Evan O’Neill, said they wanted to do a color run because they thought it would be a fun way to spread awareness about an important issue. But things became more impactful for the RHS senior and her classmates when they met Luqman and heard her story. Wang, 18, said knowing someone so close to their age affected by heart disease really opened their eyes to how far-reaching it is.

Luqman said young people need to know how important heart health is because heart disease does not just affect older people.

“I’m just like them,” she pointed out about her peers, adding that parents need to be aware that it could happen to their children, as well.

For Luqman, seeing her peers work to get the community involved in a cause she believes in so much was a humbling experience — especially as she was already good friends with one of the RHS students before they began planning the Color Run. “For her to step up…I thought it was a really great thing,” Luqman said.

That friend was senior Noor Awad. The 17-yearold and Luqman have known each other for about 12 years through

their families but it wasn’t until the last few years that Awad knew more about her friend’s heart condition. Awad didn’t know she would be working with her friend on the Color Run until Luqman came to their class with McCutcheon. When she showed up, Awad said she was excited to work with Luqman because the cause became more personal for her.

“It was a great surprise,” Awad said.

WORTH THEIR EFFORT

For the students, organizing the Color Run was a lot of work and involved more than they had realized going into it.

“There were so many permits we had to get,” Luqman said.

In addition, she said they had to have insurance for participants, get vendors, sponsors, publicity and more.

Wang agreed that there was more to making the event happen than she expected. Before this, she had been part of the youth advisory committee for a Relay for Life event, but the Color Run was much more involved.

“It was much more overwhelming, but much more gratifying,” she said, adding that O’Neill and their fellow Color Run committee members really came together to make it happen. “It was really a joint effort and a committee effort.”

Despite all of this work, Luqman agreed that it was gratifying and said she would absolutely be part of it again if the Color Run becomes an annual event.

“It really just made it worth it,” she said about seeing all the participants as well as sharing her story and leading off the run. “I thought that was really cool.”

Redmond receives Tree City USA award from Arbor Day Foundation The City of Redmond was recently bestowed with a 2013 Tree City USA award by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management.

Redmond achieved this recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a treecare ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

The Tree USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the

National Association of State Foresters.

“As a city that prides itself in responsible forest preservation, thanks in large part to our talented team of arborists, we are honored to receive this award,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

On April 25, a group of 28 Horace Mann Elementary fourth- and fifthgraders helped city staff plant four ornamental cherry trees at Hartman Park. Teacher Marie Hartford joined her students at the event, which featured Marchione reading an Arbor Day proclamation. The students are all members of the school’s Opportunity

Team, formerly known as the Green Team.

Cleaner air, improved storm water management, energy savings, increased property values and commercial activity are among the benefits enjoyed by Tree City USA communities.

“Everyone benefits when elected officials, volunteers and committed citizens in communities like Redmond make smart investments in urban forests,” said John Rosenow, founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.

With the playoffs right around the corner, Redmond High’s boys soccer players know what needs to be done to make it deep into the postseason.

“We’re going to need a lot of commitment out of everyone,” said senior forward Ryan Pfeifer, who had five goals at the Reporter’s deadline to go along with senior midfielder Stephen Jinneman’s five to tie for the team lead.

Added senior goalkeeper Grayson Raffensperger prior to Redmond’s 2-1 loss to Skyline on Tuesday night: “We’ve got to be able to hold the ball and not get upset when things aren’t going well. We’ve got to stay tough and play as one.”

Heading into last night’s match against Eastlake (after the Reporter’s deadline), the Mustangs were 5-3-1 in 4A Kingco play and 7-5-1 overall.

Redmond kicked off the league play with a 4-0-1 record and hopes to regain that fire.

“We have 20 good guys on the team, so you always know the 11 on the field is going to be a solid 11,” said Jinneman, who shares captain duties with Raffensperger. “It’s always fun to play. You look forward to coming to practices every day. You look forward to playing in these games. You know you’re going to have a good time with your friends out here.”

Redmond had posted five shutouts (with both Raffensperger and Agazi Birkner sharing net duties) and tallied 24 goals at press time. League shutouts were

Redmond Police Department to participate in Chief for a Day event The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC) in Burien will hold its Chief for a Day celebration on Aug. 21.

In partnership with local law-enforcement agencies and the communities of Washington state, Chief for a Day is about celebrating the lives of children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening or chronic illness.

This year, 34 lawenforcement agencies — including Redmond — will sponsor a child to participate in the event.

Each law-enforcement

agency will provide their honorary “chief ” or “sheriff ” with a handtailored uniform and a gift basket that will include items for the child and their family such as toys, movie passes, gas cards, various gift cards and more. This year’s participants range in age from 3 to 14 years old.

The children and their families will be transported to the WSCJTC in police cars by police escort. The motorcade will be leaving ShoWare Center in Kent at 9:45 a.m. heading to the WSCJTC arriving in Burien around 10:15 a.m. It will

travel through Kent, Des Moines, Normandy Park and unincorporated King County using a route to be issued soon.

The sponsored children will be sworn in as chiefs and sheriffs at 11 a.m., have lunch with all attendees and academy recruits and then participate in outside presentations provided by law-enforcement agencies and criminaljustice entities including K-9 units, bicycle patrols, SWAT, rifle units and more.

AT&T employees remove blackberry plants at Marymoor More than 40 employee volunteers from AT&T’s west region headquarters in Redmond recently joined together for a beautification project at Marymoor Park in King County.

In celebration of National Volunteer Week, April 6-12, the volunteers removed invasive Himalayan blackberry plants along the eastern fence line. The weed was overgrowing in that part of Marymoor Park and the AT&T employees removed it by cutting and digging out the roots.

The day’s activity helped improve the eastern fence line area of the park, while making it much more attractive and stopping the spread of the plant. The volunteer event was one of

10 taking place across the country that week.

“Anyone who has dealt with blackberries will tell you, they are diligent in their resolve not to be removed. Our small band of volunteers tackled this task head on, suffering on minor cuts and scraps from this tenacious plant,” said AT&T volunteer project leader Shane Boyd. “It was fun to partner coworkers from our Redmond offices.

There were no cubicles or buildings separating us, no ranks or titles, just individuals coming together to help make a park that we all enjoy a little brighter and a little less thorny.”

National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and focuses national attention on the impact and power of

volunteerism and service as an integral aspect of civic leadership. The week draws the support and endorsement of the president and Congress, governors, mayors and municipal leaders, as well as corporate and community groups across the country.

The National Volunteer Week events are part of AT&T Community Engagement, which offers employees the opportunity to help their communities thrive.

Last year, AT&T employees and retirees volunteered more than 5.3 million hours of time in community outreach activities, worth more than $118 million and pledged more than $35 million for charities of their choice through employee giving.

Arielle Young has had it with being one of the few female guitarists she knows, so she’s decided to do something about it.

This summer, Young — who is the vice president of the local nonprofit music school, Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More Music Academy — will be teaching a group guitar class specifically designed for girls ages 9-13 at the music school in Redmond.

“Somehow, guitar became a thing that guys do but girls don’t so much, and I’m going to change that,” Young said.

The group guitar classes will range in size from 3-5 girls and each weekly lesson will be 50 minutes long.

Times and dates will be determined based on the needs of the students. The classes will begin just after the July 4 holiday and continue through the rest of the summer. Enrollment for the class began April 21 and will continue until all available times are sold out. Tuition is $60 per student per month and tuition assistance is available.

Redmond recognized for smart city design The City of Redmond has been recognized for its

www.redmond-reporter.com actions in supporting smart city design.

On April 3, at the Feet First Walkable Washington Symposium, the Redmond Central Connector (RCC) received Feet First’s highest honor for an exceptional project directly contributing to the creation of a healthy, livable and walkable community in Washington.

The concept of convert-

ing the former rail corridor into a regional trail was conceived 17 years ago through a public engagement process. Over the years, Redmond worked with a group of government, community and business leaders to complete the real estate transaction and plans for developing the RCC. “It’s been a privilege to be a part of the team that

fulfilled the dream of creating walkable connections in downtown,” said Carolyn Hope, park planning and cultural services manager for the City of Redmond.

“The Connector is already transforming downtown.”

The RCC enhances the pedestrian experience in downtown by integrating art, lighting and landscaping within urban plazas along the trail that provide

opportunities for community gathering and events.

The project is improving the pedestrian travel through the heart of downtown and connecting Old Town to Redmond Town Center. The first mile of the RCC also knits together more than 60 miles of regional trails including the East Lake Sammamish and Sammamish River Trails.

As a result, more people are walking and bicycling in downtown.

This project is a core component of Redmond’s strategy to accommodate growth by integrating transportation, recreation and land use.

“These investments will enrich the face of downtown Redmond for future generations by creating a destination where people come to gather, shop, and experience the City’s diverse culture,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

To learn more about the RCC project visit www. redmond.gov/downtown or contact Hope at cjhope@ redmond.gov or (425) 5562313.

Historic Walking Tours get regional award The Redmond Historical Society’s popular walking tours through the city’s historic core picked up some significant recognition last month: the society received the 2014 “Single Impact Award” from the Association of King County Historical Organizations (AKCHO) for making the tours into an annual event that shares local history while expanding the society’s reach.

“It certainly is special to be recognized by one’s peers,” said society President Chris Himes, noting that the first historic tours started in 1976 and then lapsed for many years until they were restarted by the society and historian Tom Hitzroth.

This year’s remaining downtown tours are set for: May 18, June 15 and Sept.

14. To reserve a spot, or for more information, visit www.redmondhistoricalsociety.org.

AKCHO is an umbrella group comprised of heritage organizations throughout King County.

The 2014 AKCHO Awards Program is made possible with support from 4Culture and MOHAI.

Mobile Queue Technologies develops new school app Mobile Queue Technologies, Inc., a Redmond-based company has developed an app that is used by parents and school staff to improve the student arrival and dismissal process, in turn helping to manage traffic around schools.

The QManager app — which has already been adopted by thirteen private schools, two public schools and two day care centers — enables parents to sign their children in and out of school using their smartphones. This new technology was created to eliminate parking lot congestion, increase speed and efficiency and enhance student security in schools and day cares.

The app, which has been in the market for more than three years, is currently being used by more than 7,000 parents and guardians and is growing in popularity in both private and public educational facilities throughout the country, according to a Mobile Queue press release.

“Many schools may already have an older ‘desktop’ type method but our mobile solution is much more robust, stable and easier to use,” said Mobile Queue founder and CEO Moazzam Ahmed.
