City partnering with Sound Transit on bike and pedestrian bridge

BACK TO SCHOOL

SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Following approval by the Redmond City Council two weeks ago, the Sound Transit board approved a partnership agreement for constructing a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge across State-Route 520 and a city stormwater infiltration vault.

The new covered bridge will connect the Overlake Village link light rail station — which will be right next to SR 520 — with the regional trail on the west side of the freeway and all of the development on the north side of SR 520.

The regional stormwater vault, which Sound Transit will also use, will reduce damaging flows to streams and allow for redevelopment in the neighborhood.

“Because of this partnership, the bridge and vault will be integrated seamlessly into the Overlake Village station,” said City of Redmond Mayor and Sound Transit board member John Marchione in a press release from the city and Sound Transit. “These projects will increase light rail ridership and support the ongoing transformation of Overlake Village into a vibrant and transit-supportive urban center.”

Joel Pfundt, a principal planner for Redmond, said the city was interested in this partnership because they want as much access

to the light rail station as possible.

“This bridge opens a lot of the Overlake area,” he said.

In the press release, Sound Transit board chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine added, “With the new bridge, commuters will save up to one mile in walking or biking to nearby jobs and homes.

Thanks to the partnership of the City of Redmond, we are improving access to the East Link light rail extension that opens in 2023.”

Under the agreement, Sound Transit will construct the bridge and vault. The City of Redmond will pay Sound Transit $19.8 million for the design and construction of the facilities.

Steve Hitch, a senior engineer for the city, said about $10.1 million of that amount will go toward the bridge and about $9.7 million will go toward the vault.

To help fund the bridge and vault, the city has received a $1.6 million Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant, which will go toward the engineering and design of the project. In addition, the city received a $5 million Transportation Alternatives Program grant toward construction of the bridge. The rest of the funds will come from the city’s Transportation Capital Program budget, though [ more BRIDGE page 2 ]

Harris remains in stable condition after car crash STAFF REPORT

Margaret Harris remains in stable condition after a head-on car crash on Aug. 24, which claimed two lives — her husband, 68-year-old Steven Harris, and 16-yearold Taylor Griffith.

Steven Harris was a former chief for the Redmond Police Department (RPD), having served the department for 28 years. Griffith was an Eastlake High School student.

Steven was driving a Ford Explorer, which collided with Griffith’s pickup truck along Redmond-Fall City Road at 244th Avenue Northeast, according to a Washington State Patrol press memo. Both drivers died at the scene.

After the accident, Margaret was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Lt. Julie Beard with RPD said the memorial service for Steven is being put off until Margaret is released from the hospital and able to attend.

Hitch added that the vault will also be funded by stormwater utility rate payers and developer contributions.

Subject to final acceptance, the City of Redmond will own, operate and maintain the bridge and vault.

The City of Redmond plans to build three stormwater vaults, Hitch said. The first one is currently under construction and located underneath the ground on the Sears property at 2200 148th Ave. N.E. The one to be built at the Overlake Village station will be the second one, “which is why this is such a good partnership,” Hitch said.

Don Billen, the East Link deputy project director for Sound Transit, said from their perspective, the bridge is an enhancement to the Overlake Village station. He said anything that will increase access to the station — especially non-motorized access — is a good thing, especially as park and ride capacity is always in high demand and expensive.

“We see this bridge as a really critical part of that same access idea,” added Pfundt about the city.

He said the easier and more comfortable it is for people to access the station, the more likely they are to utilize it.

The new city and Sound

Transit agreement follows an earlier agreement among Sound Transit, the City of Redmond and Microsoft Corp. for another pedestrian and bicycle bridge across SR 520 further east at the Overlake Transit Center.

That bridge is supported with $33.3 million in Microsoft funding and planned to open in 2020. The city will also own and maintain this structure.

Billen said they anticipate construction for the second pedestrian and bicycle bridge to begin in 2016 and for it to also be completed by 2020.

“It will actually open to service three years ahead of light rail service,” he said, as light rail is scheduled to come to the Eastside in 2023.

According to the press release, by 2030, East Link is projected to carry about 50,000 riders each weekday.

As the region’s population continues growing, East Link will provide expanded transportation capacity to the I-90 corridor. Increases in the length and frequency of trains over time offer the capacity to carry from 8,000 to 12,000 people per hour in each direction, more than doubling the person-carrying capacity of I-90.

JOHNSON JOINS U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY THUNDERBIRD SQUADRON

Cadet Ryan Johnson recently joined the Thunderbird Squadron with the U.S. Air Force Academy. Courtesy Photo Cadet Ryan Johnson of Woodinville joined the ranks of the Academy Cadet Wing on Aug. 5.

The class of 2018 member transitioned from a basic cadet to a cadet fourth class during the Acceptance Parade at the Academy’s Stillman Field.

Johnson was one of 1,147 basics who completed the five weeks of mental and physical basic cadet training (BCT).

Prior to joining the Air Force Academy, he was an active member of the Overlake Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. He met on average, two hours each week with his squadron in Redmond.

Johnson participated

in winter and summer leadership encampments, including Desert Eagle Encampment where he had his first solo of a Cessna 157 July of last year. He received a Congressional Commendation from Congresswoman Suzanne Delbene last fall for the prestigious Billy Mitchell Award, along with letters of commendation from Gov. Jay Inslee and House Representative Roger Goodman.

Johnson is the first cadet to be appointed to the U.S. Air Force Academy in four years.

“This is fulfilling a lifelong dream,” said Johnson. “I’ve wanted to be a pilot since before the age of 7.”

cookbook requests from strangers who had learned about it from those who had the book. So in January, Barnard published a second version of the book with Seattle-based Peanut Butter Publishing.

In this second edition of “Aunt Bunny’s Favorite Recipes,” Barnard also includes stories from his and his wife’s lives separately as well as the life they shared for 56 years. Altogether, there are 23 stories — one opening each chapter of the cookbook.

The stories Barnard shares in the cookbook include how he and Bilodeau — whose nickname growing up was Bunny (though he said she never remembered how she got

it) — met, how he courted her and their life together as a married couple. Barnard also shares a few adventures they had abroad, including one about the year they spent in Calcutta, India, which ended with a short side trip to Egypt to see the pyramids, the Sphinx and dead city of Cairo Necropolis. The latter visit came just weeks after Egyptians had staged a revolution and ended the country’s status as a British Protectorate.

“I want to celebrate my wife,” he said about why he published the cookbook.

“She was the nicest wife anyone can have.”

“Aunt Bunny’s Favorite Recipes” is $19.95 and is available at www. budbarnardbooks.com.

LWSD: Learning focused at all levels Traci Pierce

LWSD SUPERINTENDENT

The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is excited for the 2014-15 school year! This year we welcome more than 2,000 new kindergartners into our district and will prepare nearly 1,600 12th graders for graduation in 2015. All totaled, more than 26,000 K-12 students entered Lake Washington schools on Tuesday. Our teachers and staffs are prepared to help every student to be future ready.

As a school district, we are more than just a collection of schools. We are an educational system, with learning as our core business.

Our district mission and vision makes student learning and achievement our top priority. On average, Lake Washington students score 16 percent higher in reading and 22 percent higher in math than their peers across the state on state accountability measures. We know that annual test scores are just one measure of student performance. We are working hard to ensure that every day, all students experience meaningful learning that helps them to learn, grow and succeed.

Our values and strategic goals guide our district work. Four core values drive our district culture. We are: student centered, learning focused, community connected and results oriented. Our five strategic goals align to our four core values. You can learn more about our five-year strategic plan on our district website, at www.lwsd.org.

Since learning is our district’s core business, we believe in investing in the ongoing learning of our professionals so they can do their very best work in service of our students. This summer, our office professionals, custodians, bus drivers, new teachers and returning teachers, building administrators and district administrators all participated in in-service training and

professional learning workshops. You can see some great pictures of professional learning in action on our district Facebook page.

In addition to participating in extensive August learning sessions, all brand-new teachers are assigned a consulting teacher, who works alongside the new teacher to provide job-embedded mentoring, coaching and support. This year we were also able to add some instructional coaches and literacy coaches to support the ongoing learning of our experienced teachers. By focusing on staff professional learning, we will be able to improve learning for our students.

In addition to student and professional learning, we focus on organizational learning. We are continually examining our systems, structures, practices and policies to improve as an organization. Listening, open communication, engagement and transparency with our parents and community is critical for our ability to learn and thrive as an organization. This year, we are continuing to expand our communication and community engagement efforts. As a new practice, we are inviting parents to participate on

curriculum committees. We have a number of curriculum adoptions on the horizon, including grades 6-8 science, 9-12 science and 6-8 mathematics.

We will also be convening a facility advisory committee this fall to help us learn the desires and priorities of the community with respect to building facilities. Our enrollment continues to grow and we added 10 more portables across the district this summer to house our growing student population. We need to develop a longterm plan for housing students and we need to better understand what the community wants and is willing to support. To address growth in the short term, we need to adjust attendance boundaries for the 2016-17 school year. This process will begin early this fall and there will be many opportunities for parents and community members to be engaged. Please look for more information on both the boundary process and the facility advisory committee coming soon.

LWSD is honored to serve students throughout Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish and it is a privilege to serve as superintendent.

Could coffee be the modern-day cigarette?

Since as early as the 15th century, coffee has been a source of social activity and coffee houses a hub of cultural vibrancy. Coffee trade made its way into Europe by the 17th century, and as the demand for beans grew, so did its production, bringing the phenomenon to Brazil, Indonesia and the rest of the world.

Since then, coffee has shape shifted many times throughout its history, Ashley Yoo

taking on many new forms from its transition from a bean-selling business to a retail-drink industry.

With the rise of Starbucks Coffee Company and its shift toward serving various forms of espressos, cappuccinos and the like in the late 1900s, coffee became branded as an everyday necessity. The coffeehouse became a third home to many, and with the advancement of Wi-Fi, they became nomadic offices.

In a study administered in January 2013, 83 percent of American adults claimed they couldn’t imagine life without coffee, and 54 per-

cent drink coffee on a daily basis. Each coffee-drinking American consumes an average of 3.1 cups of coffee every 24 hours — that’s 624 million cups of coffee each day! In 2013, Americans spent a total of $18 billion on coffee alone. The trend has slowly been seeping into the younger generation, as well. Within the International Community School community in Kirkland last spring, many students have reported taking part in this ritualistic coffee habit.

Some students at the age of 15, who cannot even legally drive, claimed they relied 100 percent on coffee to get

them through the day.

So what really causes this addiction? The caffeine in coffee replicates adenosine, a neurochemical that is often used to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Adenosine levels are kept in check with receptors throughout the body, which are activated and thus regulate the body’s ability feeling of tired. The similar structure of caffeine allows it to block these receptors, leading to the stimulus of dopamine and glutamate, the pleasure stimuli of the brain responsible for addiction to hard drugs

such as cocaine or methamphetamine. Eventually, a tolerance is built up, leading to an inevitable increase in daily consumption to get the same jolt of energy. This beverage has gone from simply a source of social interaction to a supplement humans rely on for mental alertness, and the spread of this movement into the younger generation is rapid.

As coffee shops begin to crowd and piles of Starbucks cups in high school trashcans grow, this phenomenon’s parallel to that of cigarettes and nicotine multiplies—in both the best [ more COFFEE page 5 ]

Baskas to speak at historical society

Journalist and author Harriet Baskas, who researches the closeted collections of museums, will share some of her favorite finds at the Redmond Historical Society’s Saturday Speaker Series at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 13 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, located at 16600 N.E. 80th St. Sponsored by Humanities Washington, the fastpaced, photo-filled and, at times, offbeat tour through Washington will be told through the stories of museum artifacts that are rarely — or never — shown to the public.

Author of “Hidden Treasures: What Museums Can’t or Won’t Show You,” Baskas will talk about how those objects came to be in the local collections and who makes decisions about what is displayed — or not.

“While there are more than 15,000 museums in our country, visitors only get to see about five percent of any institution’s

collections,” said Baskas. “Most museums simply don’t have room to display everything they’ve got. But some artifacts never get displayed for political, philosophical, artistic, environmental and other, often surprising, reasons.”

As a journalist, Baskas produced a major radio series on hidden museum artifacts that aired on National Public Radio, with Smithsonian-based historians as her advisers.

Baskas has a master’s degree in communication from the University of Washington and served as general manager for three community radio stations in Oregon and Washington.

Her other books include “Washington Curiosities” and “Washington Icons.”

The Saturday Speaker Series is a monthly program presented by the Redmond Historical Society on every second Saturday from September through May (with the exception of December).

Topics cover local, state and Pacific Northwest historical interest. There is a suggested $5 donation for non-members.

getting two thirds of their daily caffeine intake from coffee alone. Naturally, the body becomes accustomed to the process of caffeine blocking the receptors and eventually develops a tolerance to the drug’s effects.

Thus, this tolerance then leads to a severe reliance.

Emory University’s chief of the neuroscience division, Michael Kuhar, claims that missing even one cup of coffee can cause “headache, fatigue, sleepiness, inability to focus and concentrate… flu-like symptoms, irritability, depression and anxiety.”

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have even classified these effects as a disorder due to the severe physical and psychological symptoms caused by caffeine and coffee withdrawal. Further, America, as a country, funds nearly half the world’s coffee industry, spending upwards from $18 billion in the past year. Sure, coffee preferences and the prices of them varies on a person-to-person basis, but the general American public has displayed clear sacrifice in money and time for their daily coffee routines.

Coffee is being attacked for its excessive caffeine count — and it should. This society’s growing tolerance to caffeine leads to a possible future of health risks and have also been linked to future drug addiction. Caffeine consumption has contributed to high blood pressure, osteoporosis, diabetes and intensifying problems of

insomnia, anxiety and heartburn. Though it is possible to keep caffeine levels below the 300 mg mark, the average adult consumes 300.7 mg of caffeine per day — 66 percent of this intake from coffee alone. Caffeine is a drug by definition, and society’s denial toward this fact becomes a growing concern.

“A drop of caffeine injected into the skin of an animal will produce death within a few minutes” (according to Katy Chamberlin).

Caffeine is a poison, and its enhancing of dopamine can make illegal drug use more dangerous and future drug addiction more likely.

Cigarette smoking and its dangers have become infamous in the 21st century, and avid coffee drinkers are defensive against the comparison between the two, claiming the severity of caffeine does not come close to that of nicotine. A common point of refutation is coffee’s affect on cognitive function. A study done by Johnson-Kozlow, KritzSilverstein, Barrett-Connor and Morton claimed that caffeine consumption could make someone “smarter” proven through comparing problem-solving skills, memory and creative capabilities of the coffee drinkers who had a cup of coffee and others who had not. For a long time, this study had coffee consumers fooled — they chose the wrong control. Rather than using a coffee drinker who had not received his/her cof-

intake, human health has ranked lower in the list of priorities in relation to success in a career. The question of whether these positives outweigh the many risks is an ongoing concern.

Unlike cigarettes, coffee is much more easily accessible to all, and determined from the comparison between the two, both pose serious health effects. As the coffee industry continues to grow, the number of those younger than 18 years old have become more and more reliant on coffee and caffeine, beginning this cycle at a much younger age. With education, it’s true that there are families and parents who try to warn their children of the possible negative effect.

However, real progression of health in the general population is questionable. Despite all of the negative correlations between cigarettes and coffee, one last parallel might be what rescues the American population from coffee’s potentially harmful effects: need for excessive education. The movement intended to detract the younger generation from relying on nicotine was successful in part due to the extensive lengths taken to educate students of its danger. Likewise, coffee needs to join the movement.

fee, the research should have been done with someone who has not become reliant on caffeine in the first place.

The study revealed the effects of tolerance, but not necessarily that coffee itself made someone “smarter” than they were before. A later experiment was held, finding that coffee’s positive effect on cognitive function is a misconception only applicable if the person has already become reliant on coffee in which case cannot perform normal cognitive functions without coffee.

Coffee itself is also said to have many benefits.

By nature’s laws, coffee’s origin as a seed results in many protective qualities and nutrients, which can bolster the human body’s resistance to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia, among others of the like. Walter Willett, M.D. of the Harvard School of Public Health, claimed “Coffee is an amazing potent collection of biologically active compounds.” Also, don’t forget how incredibly productive someone feels after having a cup of coffee.

There’s no doubt about it: caffeine is pleasurable. As a power-hungry society, energy enhancing supplements appear to be the key to money, prestige and power, and coffee makes the time consuming, moneymaking tasks more bearable.

and worst ways possible.

Cigarette smoking became particularly widespread in the west during the 20th century. At the beginning of the century, less than 1 percent of the United States population smoked once every three days. However, in 60 years’ time, around 45 percent of all Americans smoked on a regular basis.

A major part of the allure is its cultural value. In reference to the 1942 film, “Casablanca,” Richard Klein, author of “Cigarettes are Sublime,” explains the attractive quality that caught the attention of the American public: “There’s that remarkable silent moment when two very beautiful people stand in profile against the hazy background of the smoky nightclub and the man lights a match and the woman’s face is suddenly illuminated and they look into each other’s eyes and smoke sort of fills the screen.

It’s a gorgeous moment.” He claims there is an “aesthetic pleasure with the experience.” He adds: “It’s bad for you. It’s poison. It’s not good at all…But that doesn’t mean there aren’t satisfactions and pleasures associated with it.”

For this reason, cigarettes were universally accepted during the 1900s.

By the time the 21st century hit, the popularity of cigarette smoking had fallen most likely due to the widespread education of its

dangerous health effects. In turn, the phenomenon of coffee came into full swing.

But can coffee and cigarettes share the throne?

Due to the parallel in both cultural and physical effects, the comparison between cigarettes and coffee seems to hold legitimacy and suggest a rising problem in society’s growing reliance to the famed beverage.

Coffee is seductive. Much like how cigarettes have an addictive allure, so does the making, drinking and socializing over coffee. Both began as a “foundation for ritualistic workplace bonding,” and both are modern indicators of slight luxury and sophistication (according to Steve Davis). New York Stock Exchange and The Bank of New York, both powerhouses of the United States, began over a couple cups of coffee on Wall Street.

Associations to coffee such as these have accumulated, creating slight feelings of success and productivity when taking part in this coffee culture. Coffee is now the second most recognizable scent, second only to burning wood, triggering comfort and a tendency to repeatedly turn to coffee, not only for energy but also familiarity.

Further, both coffee and cigarette withdrawal can lead to symptoms of substance dependence set forth by the American Psychiatric Association.

Caffeine and coffee go hand in hand, with most of the American population

Codeproof making waves in mobile device management ASHLEY WALLS Redmond Reporter Contributor

For Satish Shetty, owning a technology startup has always been a dream.

After working in the technology field for nearly 15 years, he finally decided to make that dream a reality. In 2011, he started Codeproof and began developing a security and management software for mobile devices.

Shetty, a Redmond resident, spent seven years at Microsoft Corp. working on the development of the Windows operating system, and prior to that, another seven years at McAfee working on security products.

“The issue was always timing and figuring out when to go for it,” he said.

“Working at Microsoft for a while, I realized that the number of mobile devices was beginning to explode, which is when I decided to start developing mobile management software.

Building a startup like Codeproof is a once-in-alifetime opportunity.”

The software has three areas of focus: mobile policy management, application management and device management.

Codeproof provides a platform for companies to protect their data on employee-owned devices by remotely wiping them in the event of a device

Satish Shetty is the founder of Codeproof, which offers security and management software for mobile devices. Before beginning the startup, the Redmond resident worked at Microsoft. Courtesy Photo being lost or stolen. It also allows for companies to use their devices in “kiosk mode,” in which only one application is activated — a useful feature for hotels, schools and currently, even an ambulance company in California.

Additionally, applications can be mass-uploaded to clients’ devices remotely, even when they are out in the field. This allows for immediate updates for any number of devices without the hassle of updating each phone individually. Location-based mobile policies (also called geofencing, in which permissions are allowed based on loca-

tion), time-bound policies and jailbreak detection are only a few of the additional features that are offered.

It is an SAAS-based (software as a service) platform that uses the Amazon Cloud for greater scalability, and currently supports Apple iOS, Samsung Galaxy and various Android devices.

Codeproof is a subscription-based service unlike other “perpetual license” software programs, which is a one-time cost. SAAS platforms are becoming increasingly popular with major technology companies such as Google and Microsoft.

At $29.99 per device per year, the company licensed the services to more than 100 business customers globally. With the service being used today in 15 countries, Shetty is looking to expand to larger organizations over the next year and increase Codeproof ’s global footprint.

“Our product works just as well for a company with 10 devices as it does for a company with thousands of devices,” Shetty said.

Shetty’s main focus is customer support.

“The first thing that I do every morning is check my email and reply to customers. I explain to them how

to better manage their mobile devices policies, troubleshoot any issues and discuss any new features we have,” he said. “Startups can win customers by assisting them and going the extra mile even if there’s no immediate profit in it. And you will be judged by what you do, not what you say.”

With clients both in the United States and internationally, Shetty makes every effort to connect with them personally, even using Skype to engage with potential international customers.

The company has been running out of Shetty’s garage for nearly three years, with the product officially launching in October 2012.

After spending nearly a year on the coding alone — “hibernating in my garage,” he called it – Shetty got Codeproof up and running.

“I love that I get to be a part of everything,” Shetty said. “I absolutely love what I’m doing.”

Starting a company from scratch is a difficult task.

Growth tends to be slow and most of the development falls on just a few individuals.

“The biggest challenge isn’t money, it’s the motivation. You can’t lose focus, because you’re the one in charge, leading everything,” Shetty said. “When you have a lot of people around you, in a team, it’s easy to get motivation from others.

But on your own, you have

to find that motivation within yourself to get it going”.

One contract employee, who does inside sales, is currently the only paid employee in the company.

Shetty doesn’t draw a salary.

Shetty hopes that the company will expand and move into an office, hire additional sales personnel and receive funding from local investors. Additionally, he hopes the company will be able to support Windows devices.

“We’re being compared against companies around the world and we want clients to see the unique value in what we’re offering,” Shetty said. “I truly think that we can be a multi-million dollar company that will attract a potential acquisition offer from a larger tech company looking to enhance their portfolio with the technology we have.”

Shetty will be attending a SuperMobility conference in Las Vegas, representing Codeproof, in late September.

Shetty lives in Redmond with his wife and two sons, ages 7 and 3 months. His wife, Shilpa, is a software test engineer working at BigFishGames in Seattle.

“I say to people that I have three kids, and the third one is my Codeproof baby,” Shetty joked.

Hill and Tom awarded for their legislative efforts on behalf of individuals with developmental disabilities

1122286

Recently, more than 120 individuals attended the Annual Summer Potluck Picnic of the King County Family Coalition for Developmental Disabilities of the Arc of King County, where six legislators, including 45th District State Sen. Andy Hill and 48th District State Sen. Rodney Tom, were awarded for their efforts during the 2014 legislative session.

Addressing the unmet need for waiting families whose children qualified for state respite and other state Developmental

Disabilities Administration services, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 6387, adding 5,000 individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) to services, as well as put in place a policy to make it easier for families to receive respite care. Senators Hill and Tom were awarded for their role leading a bi-partisan effort to help people with developmental disabilities. This annual award is given to legislators who go above and beyond to champion DD issues.

KITH celebrates 25th anniversary, Autumn Event Oct. 4 tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

The upcoming gala for Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (KITH) during October marks not just its 25th anniversary, but how it has grown from serving Kirkland residents to struggling families all over the Eastside, including Redmond.

First founded in 1989 by several Kirkland churches, it has gone from one apartment above an auto store to 32 apartments and a

condo, as well as providing assistance for rent.

The gala is also seen as a celebration for KITH making it through several rough years during the economic downturn starting in 2009.

Jennifer Barron, the executive director at KITH, said although they have grown, it is also an indication that there is still a strong need in the community.

“I think our goals remain the same, to empower families and provide affordable housing for them,” she said.

“I think what we’ve seen is the number of the families has not decreased, but has increased. KITH has been able to grow and we see that need growing and we’re trying to continue to have apartments available.”

Barron, who has been with KITH since October 2012, said their ability to come up with creative fundraising options has allowed them to remain open when money has been hard

The 7 Hills of Kirkland bike event, which goes through Redmond, is one of KITH’s main fundraisers during the year. The organization helps struggling families throughout the Eastside find transitional housing. KITH will celebrate its 25th anniversary in October. File Photo to come by. In addition to their luncheon in March and fall auction, they also partner with EvergreenHealth to host the 7 Hills of Kirkland bicycle ride.

Started in 1996, all the proceeds have gone to KITH. “The donations and financial flush of availability wasn’t there,” she said of the bad economy. “The agency said ‘How are we going to go forward?’ The mission was considered very honorable, so what we did we needed to do?”

Alina Aaron, the event coordinator for KITH, said

the organization also keeps their funds diversified, receiving money from grants and private donors. So far this year, they’ve met their fundraising goals and are looking to expand further.

“Just understanding the dynamics that you do need to diversify has really helped KITH operate in the last 25 years,” she said.

“A lot of them (nonprofits) depend on grants. You can see the impact at the state and federal level when they cut certain funding. It has a direct impact.”

Beyond funding, Barron added that their success has been in focusing on not just giving homeless families a place to stay, but help for when they walk out the door, a concept that has been with the organization since it was first created

by Rose Hill Presbyterian Church, St John’s Episcopal Church, Lake Washington United Methodist and Holy Family Catholic Church.

“It wasn’t just about putting a roof over their heads but working with them on what caused the situation to happen in the first place, so when they moved out there was the feeling they had better skills to be sustainable,” Barron said. “That’s one of the reasons KITH is still here today. We don’t just put a roof over their heads, we want to make sure they’re gaining that availability. We have them work on how they can set themselves up so they can get a job to pay the bills and

pay the rent.”

In 2013, they provided 25,832 bed nights for homeless people, and saw a 100 percent success rate for families transitioning out of homelessness, according to statistics on their website.

At the beginning of the year, KITH merged with Bellevue-based Housing at a Crossroads. With the two boards also merging, Aaron said they are planning on a name change to reflect it.

Another element to KITH’s continued existence, Barron said, are the 100 volunteers and supporters in the community.

“We are a very lucky organization in that this community steps up to the plate and volunteers some time,” she said. “KITH has been very lucky in the community seeing our need. Without volunteers KITH would not be where it is today.”

The gala will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 4 at the Red Lion Hotel in Bellevue.

LWSF awards $220,000 to school district

SUBMITTED BY LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOLS FOUNDATION

When Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students return to school this fall, they will be able to build robots, use a 3-D printer and learn how to prevent bullying because of extra funding provided to the school district by Lake Washington Schools Foundation (LWSF). For the 2014-2015 school year, the foundation granted the district nearly $220,000 to support district-wide initiatives and provide classroom

tools that will help students succeed.

According to Sup. Dr. Traci Pierce, “Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the Lake Washington School District. They help us build pathways to student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their support.”

A $10,000 grant will help students access learning opportunities through the Access Fund. This fund enables low-income middle and high school students to get the most out of school

by providing scholarships to pay for school-related supplies, fees and extracurricular activities. A major Access Fund expense is for online classes, which help students who are behind in their classes to graduate.

Often these kids are the first in their family to graduate from high school.

The Access Fund has played an important role in many students’ lives by keeping them engaged in school and by paying for opportunities that kids from higher income families often take for granted.

The fund helped 2011 Redmond High School graduate Myeka Powers discover her love for the business world by funding her participation in the DECA business program.

“Because of the Access Fund, I was able to participate in DECA, which made my high school experience one of a kind,” said Powers.

Another $10,000 foundation grant will support the new Safe Schools Ambassador (SSA) Program, which will help create a positive and safe school climate. The foundation believes that all students should have access to learning opportuni-

ties. Bullying and harassment can seriously inhibit learning by contributing to dropouts, absenteeism and academic underachievement.

This field-tested and evidence-based antibullying program will be implemented in Juanita, Eastlake and Tesla STEM high schools and the International Community School. Student leaders will be trained to work with mentor adults in order to resolve conflicts and to support excluded students.

This will lead to a more positive school atmosphere, which will positively impact the entire community.

Because every student deserves a high-quality teacher, LWSF is funding the district’s New Teacher Support Program for second year teachers with a grant of $18,000. Being a new teacher can be overwhelming and stressful. The program provides teachers with a guiding mentor and extra training. It has been shown to improve student achievement, accelerate professional growth and save school districts money by reducing attrition. The foundation stepped in to fill the funding gap after state funding for the second year of the program was discontinued.

According to Smith Elementary School teacher Lucy Coffey, “Without the program, my first two years would have been a lot tougher. Had I not had that support, I would have felt like I was drowning and overwhelmed by the amount of work. My consulting teacher kept me afloat and helped me feel successful during those first two years. The better teacher you have, the more success the students will have.”

All Lake Washington schools are eligible to apply for the foundation’s Reaching for Success (RFS) grants. The grants provide up to $3,000 per applicant and give classrooms and schools tools to enrich learning. This year, the foundation is granting more than $83,000 to 30 different schools. Grants will fund things such as a 3-D printer at Redmond Middle School, the popular IXL online math program at 10 elementary and middle schools, Eastlake High School’s robotics club and the “LW After Hours” tutoring program at Lake Washington High School.

City program serves more than 940 lunches This summer, for the third year, the City of Redmond teen program took the charge of making sure youth in Redmond had food while class was not in session.

This year, in partnership with Open Kitchen, a community-based meal program out of Redmond United Methodist Church, the city’s teen program helped to make sure children, youth and families had lunch.

Open Kitchen worked with the city’s recreation staff to get food out to Sunset Gardens park.

The recreation staff offered a fun activity

starting at 11:30 a.m. and then everyone enjoyed lunch together at noon. It was an opportunity for children to enjoy and share a meal. Families from around the area came and participated in the activities and meals.

“This has been a great program to make sure that needy children have food,” said Ken Wong, teen administrator for the City of Redmond. “Just because school is out and they don’t get free or reduced lunch anymore does not mean they are not hungry. We worked with Open Kitchen to make the program more available to families this year and we saw the value.”

More than 940 lunches were served during the eight weeks the program was in session.

[ LWSF from page 10] Each year, the foundation receives more grant applications than the last.

It is not able to fund all of the worthy projects and more donations from the community would help it put more innovative tools into classrooms.

With a $25,000 grant, the foundation continues to support the STEM-based Signature Programs, available this year in all seven of the district’s high schools. In these programs, students investigate, innovate and think critically while solving real-world problems.

Signature Program interdisciplinary courses focus on topics such as global health, sustainability and engineering and provide career pathways through industry-based projects.

The LINKS mentoring and tutoring program received $72,500. This program is run by the school district and the foundation has supported it since 2007. LINKS volunteers spend one hour per week in classrooms as mentors, tutors and classroom helpers. Volunteers enjoy building a trusting relationship with a child.

Tonya Wishart, a lunch buddy at Horace Mann and Albert Einstein elementary schools, said, “One hour a week is not a lot of time to give, but it feels important to the students I have worked with to have an adult who cares about them, not as a friend or a teacher or parent, but as an advocate, someone who is on their side rooting for them.”

Currently, LINKS has

many students in all grade levels ready to be matched with a volunteer mentor.

Community members interested in investing in student growth and success are encouraged to take part in the foundation’s fall campaign, “Our Kids, Our Future — It’s Up to Us,” by making a donation at www.lwsf. org/donate or by giving to the LWSF through their United Way or workplace giving campaign.

REDMOND HIGH FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Mustangs are physical, fast and confident this season ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Redmond High’s football players can’t wait to get under the Friday night lights and show fans and opponents what they’re made of.

It all begins at 7 p.m. tonight at Newport High and senior linebacker/tight end Johnathan Kirschner says this season will most likely be an overwhelming and exciting experience from start to finish.

“This year is gonna be tough because it’s probably my last year ever playing football, so I’m just gonna give it my all. Hopefully everyone else will and we’ll see what happens,” he said after a recent practice.

Mustang senior safety/ running back Nick Konkle said togetherness will be a major factor in the team notching victories.

“We came up with a motto this year called ‘Count on Me’ and I think what that means is that each player is accountable for themselves and we like to rely on each other,” said Konkle, adding that the players share familial-like ties on and off the field.

Last year, Redmond finished 5-5 overall and 1-4 in the 4A Kingco Conference in head coach Jason Rimkus’ first season at the Mustang helm. With a San Francisco 49ers-like read-option offense on tap, Rimkus feels his squad will be competitive, fun to watch and aims to improve upon last season’s record.

Senior A.J. Rial will lead

Redmond High coach Jason Rimkus shows his players how it’s done in practice. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter the way from the quarterback spot and is reminiscent of former 49er Steve Young: he’s a lefty and he’s a scrambler. Junior Nick Swanson will also get in some snaps at quarterback.

“I’m stoked to be the QB,” said Rial, who will also play some outside linebacker on defense. “I’ve got competition behind me every day. Nick Swanson’s making me better every day. I’ve gotta take every rep seriously and am looking forward to the season.”

On the running-back front, junior Aleck Byrnes and sophomore Robert Fleeks will be the Mustangs’ two main guys; seniors Milo Mincin and Jake Talbot and junior Tyler Allen will lead the receiving corps.

Top Mustangs on the offensive and defensive lines will be senior Josh Black (6-foot-3, 230 pounds), junior Logan Little (6-1, 240), junior Kyle Burgmeier (6-0, 245), senior Steven Misner (5-11, 210),

senior Jorge Portillo (5-9, 220) and senior Cristobal Pulido (5-7, 230).

Talbot said the Mustangs are going to be hard working, physical and fast and will outhit and outhustle their opponents.

Added Pulido, who will play center and nose guard: “On the line, it really comes down to the person with the bigger heart and who wants it more.”

Rimkus said the team’s commitment and leader-

ship levels have been off the charts heading into the big first snap of tonight’s matchup against Newport.

“They’ve already done one big part: our numbers and work ethic in the weight room is showing.

The size of our kids, their confidence in themselves has grown quite a bit,” Rimkus said. “We’re getting them to just focus on Redmond and the way that we want to do things, and not get caught up in how great our league is. (They need to) understand that they’re part of that greatness, and once they get that going, I think we’ll be pretty good.”

BRIEFS

LWSD students more likely to meet ACT college readiness standards

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

Compared nationally and statewide, more district students score high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark that ACT has set for all four subjects: English, math, reading and science.

While nationally only 26 percent of students met this standard for all four subjects and 41 percent met it statewide, 59 percent of

www.redmond-reporter.com

the students in LWSD who took the ACT qualified, two percent more than in 2013.

The district’s average composite score rose from 25.5 to 25.7 from 2013 to 2014. Both state and national composite scores rose in 2014. State composite scores rose from 22.8 in 2013 to 23.0 in 2014. The national average rose from 20.9 to 21.0.

Ninety-two percent of LWSD students taking the ACT met the college readiness benchmark score in English, compared to 74 percent statewide and 64 percent nationwide. LWSD English scores remained at 25.5 for the second year in 2014. State level English scores rose from 22.1 in 2013 to 22.3 in 2014 while national English scores also rose from 20.2 to 20.3.

In math, 80 percent of district students met the readiness benchmark, while at the state level it was 62 percent and 43 percent nationally. LWSD average scores rose in math in 2014, from 25.4 to 25.8.

State scores also rose from 22.8 in 2012 to 23.3 in 2013

and the national average in math remained 20.9.

For reading, 72 percent of district students met the benchmark compared to 58 percent statewide and 44 percent nationally. LWSD reading scores averaged 25.7, the same as in 2013.

Reading scores in the state in 2014 averaged 23.4, up from 23.3 the year before, while national scores rose from 21.1 to 21.3.

In science, 70 percent of LWSD students met the readiness benchmark while 52 percent statewide and 37 percent nationally met that standard. Average scores for Lake Washington students rose in science, from 25.0 in 2013 to 25.2 in 2014. Washington state scores also rose last year, from 22.5 to 22.7 while national score averages rose from 20.7 to 20.8.

“I’m pleased to see that more district students are ready for college-level work and I am proud of the work our teachers are doing to improve math and science results,” said LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce.

The number of students in LWSD who took the

ACT test rose from 450 in 2013 to 474 in 2014.

Behind the Badge over the last four years.

Highlights of this year’s tournament included the participation of more than 100 first responders and law enforcement personnel, as well as musical performances by Seattle R&B band, The Weather Experts and local singer/songwriter, Jairemie Alexander.

Also on hand to support the event were former Seattle Sonic Slick Watts, former Seahawks Randall Morris and Charles Young and former U or Washington Husky and All-American linebacker Antowaine Richardson.

Q13 FOX news anchor and host of “Washington’s Most Wanted” David Rose served as master of ceremonies, as he has done every year since the tournament’s inception.

Elite sponsors included Alaska Airlines, Avanti Markets, Directors Mortgage, Kenwood U.S.A, Kibble and Prentice Insurance, Peak Travel and GeoConex.

“This year’s Shoot for the Stars tournament was our most successful to date,” said O’Hara. “It’s very exciting to see the momentum the event continues to gather each year and the enthusiasm with which our community comes out to support it. I want to thank all of those who did so much to plan, sponsor, and participate in the event and make it such a brilliant success.”

Overlake Medical Center will offer free health screenings and cardiac and diabetes risk assessments in September during its third annual Eastside Vitality Health Month.

There will be community health fairs held weekly throughout September from 8-11 a.m. on:

• Saturday at Overlake Medical Clinics Kirkland • Sept. 13 at Overlake Medical Clinics Issaquah • Sept. 20 at Overlake Medical Clinics Redmond • Sept. 27 at Overlake Medical Center Main Campus in Bellevue “We are committed to keeping our community healthy. By offering important health screenings across the Eastside, we hope to help people prevent serious health conditions before they occur and encourage them to manage conditions they may already have,” said J. Michael Marsh, Overlake’s president and CEO. In addition, Eastside Vitality Health Month will serve as an opportunity for the community to familiarize themselves with the different Overlake Medical Clinics’ primary care physicians and cardiologists.

The final event at the main hospital campus in Bellevue will feature additional skin cancer spot checks, target heart rate readings and body mass index assessments, as well as carotid ultrasounds for those with high risk screening results. There will also be Overlake surgeons on hand to demonstrate robotic surgery and nutritionists available to discuss diabetes and tips for eating healthy.

In addition, there will be CPR and automatic external defibrillator (AED) demonstrations by the Bellevue Fire Department.

Walk-ins are welcome, but screenings are limited.

Pre-registration is recommended for all dates except Sept. 27.

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

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

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

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