Microsoft cuts about 2,100 jobs STAFF REPORT

Microsoft Corp. announced on Thursday morning that it eliminated about 2,100 jobs in different business units and countries, according to a company spokesperson. There are 747 cuts in Washington state, including the Redmond campus.

The reductions are part of the overall 18,000 cuts in the next year announced on July 17.

“We will continue to go through this process in the most thoughtful manner possible, with the deepest respect for affected individuals and recognition of their service to the company. We will offer severance to all affected employees,” a company spokesperson said.

Microsoft began the process in July.

In a memo to employees

on July 17, chief executive officer Satya Nadella noted: “The first step to building the right organization for our ambitions is to realign our workforce.”

At that time, Microsoft’s work toward synergies and strategic alignment on Nokia Devices and Services (acquired by Microsoft on April 25) was expected to account for about 12,500 jobs, comprising both professional and factory workers. Microsoft expected the reduction plan to be fully completed by June 30, 2015.

“It’s important to note that while we are eliminating roles in some areas, we are adding roles in certain other strategic areas. My promise to you is that we will go through this process in the most thoughtful and transparent way possible,” Nadella wrote.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of a partnership between Honeywell and NASA as the two have been bringing middle schools the FMA Live! Forces in Motion tour to encourage students’ interest in science.

The show — which combines hiphop music, dancers, demonstrations and audience participation to engage middle school students and teach them the basic principles of physics — kicked off its fall tour at Rose Hill Middle School in Redmond as it is making its way down the West Coast.

This year, the tour is celebrating reaching almost 400,000 students and 1,000 schools in the last decade.

Kerry Kennedy, director of Hon-

eywell’s Hometown Solutions (the company’s corporate citizenship division), said physics can be difficult to teach and FMA Live! was created to help teachers make the subject relevant for students by applying the topics covered in the show to their lessons in class.

“It’s been extremely influential,” Kennedy said. “It’s very exciting.”

The 45-minute-long show begins with a video from Charles Bolden, administrator of NASA, discussing the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education and what it could mean for students’ futures.

Following Bolden’s message is a high-energy show filled with music, dancing, videos and live demonstrations with student and teacher

participation.

With students running and jumping onto a velcro wall, teachers wrestling in large padded sumo suits and more, the students learned about Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motions. The show’s title, FMA Live!, is even a nod to the physicist and mathematician’s second law — which states that the force (F) of an object is equal to its mass (M), multiplied by the acceleration vector (A) of the object.

For Rose Hill eighth-graders Samantha Johnson and Joel Gomez — both of whom participated in one of the demonstrations — the show helped them learn more about the concepts in a creative way.

Johnson said she knew a little bit about Newton’s three laws, but she [ more MOTION page 10 ]

The King County Medical Examiner’s office has confirmed that a man in his 40s, who was struck by a car in a

crosswalk while out walking his dog in Kirkland on Monday, has died. Kyle Warnick was sent to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries

Monday afternoon. He died on Tuesday.

“I drove to the site yesterday (Tuesday) at about the same time of day as the accident the day before to

Redmond police help apprehend suspect who shot Duvall officer Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Several units from the Redmond Police Department (RPD) assisted the Duvall Police Department (DPD) late Monday night and early Tuesday morning in apprehending a suspect who shot a Duvall police sergeant.

The injured sergeant was taken to EvergreenHealth in Kirkland and was released by early Tuesday afternoon.

At 10:46 p.m. Monday, DPD responded to 911 calls reporting that an individual was firing a paintball gun at people from a vehicle. The department dispatched a sergeant, who located and made contact with the suspect at the Holy Innocents Catholic Church, 26526 N.E. Cherry Valley Rd. in Duvall. The suspect — a 47-year-old man from Woodinville — backed his vehicle into the responding officer’s vehicle and then fired at least one round from a handgun, which struck the Duvall sergeant in the left thigh.

The suspect then fled the

scene and the sergeant — despite his injury — returned to his patrol car and followed the suspect while waiting for additional units.

Once the additional units arrived on the scene, the injured sergeant, an 11-year veteran of DPD, returned to the church parking lot and requested an aid car.

The additional units included some from RPD, along with the King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO), as part of the King County Investigative Response Team (KCIRT), which is available to any law enforcement agency in King County that requests its services.

“Redmond provides dispatch services to Duvall,” said Janessa Rosick, public information officer for RPD, about their role in KCIRT. According to a KCIRT press release, the pursuit reached speeds of 90 mph.

Seth Tyler, spokesperson for KCIRT, said during the pursuit, a deputy from KCSO placed his car in front of the suspect’s vehicle in hopes of slowing down the chase. The

www.redmond-reporter.com suspect, however, fired at least one round, which hit the back window of the deputy’s car and rearview mirror, “just inches from his head,” Tyler said.

Spike strips were deployed by responding deputies, which were successful in deflating two tires of the suspect vehicle, which stopped in the 5500 block of Preston Fall City Road.

The suspect then exited the vehicle, firing one additional round into the ground. He returned to his vehicle and drove it into a nearby ditch.

Tyler said the suspect then exited his vehicle and began walking along the road. He was followed by officers, who fired a bean bag round, but it was unsuccessful as the suspect was wearing a heavy jacket. After about a quarter mile, Tyler said the suspect sat down behind a cluster of mailboxes.

The King County SWAT team, along with the King County Crisis Intervention Team, responded and initiated a negotiation with the suspect.

“At that point, there was a standoff that lasted three hours,” Rosick said.

Tyler said shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday, the SWAT team fired a rubber bullet, which struck the suspect in the hand and knocked the gun out of his hand.

The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Sammamish Police Department and while he was being

interviewed, Tyler said the suspect said his hand was hurting, so he was taken to the hospital for X-rays.

By early Tuesday afternoon, Tyler said the suspect was being prepared to be booked into King County jail.

Tyler said detectives from the Bellevue Police Department (BPD) and KCSO — as part of KCIRT — will be conducting the criminal investigation.

According to the press release, KCIRT was formed to maintain community trust and recognize best practices when investigating officer-involved shootings or other major incidents. The organization exists to ensure that thorough, objective and transparent investigations are conducted in a timely and professional manner.

The multi-jurisdictional team maximizes the skills of the most experienced investigators and supervisors in the region, while also incorporating the latest technological equipment and techniques.

In addition to RPD, KCSO and BPD, KCIRT’s membership and board of directors consists of the following agencies: Washington State Patrol, Kirkland Police Department, Issaquah Police Department, Bothell Police Department, Mercer Island Police Department, Snoqualmie Police Department and Black Diamond Police Department.

HUGE END OF SUMMER $5.97 PLANT SALE

Oh my gosh, it’s already September and we have way too many plants here! They have to go! We don’t have room to keep them all winter. Lucky for you, this beautiful fall weather is the very best time to get them settled into your yard.

We have lots of big one-gallon size plants priced at just $5.97, including about 5 different kinds of trees, at least 15 varieties of shrubs, and over 20 different flavors of perennials.

Get out your red or blue pen and start circling the plants you want, and then tear out this ad and bring it with you.

I have to admit that I have lots of favorite plants, but today my favorite is the fall Heathers. They are in bloom and so beautiful and just $5.97 each! There’s Pyramid Purple, and Corbett’s Red, and Dark Beauty.

They look great in groups, or as fall color accents in a mixed bed.

But maybe you are looking for trees? We have lots of trees for $5.97. Check out Ginkgo trees. These are a couple feet tall, with big strong roots. They are seedlings, just like Nature made them, with that unusual prehistoric leaf shape in the coolest blue green color I’ve ever seen. They are just a wonderful deal at only $5.97.

Let’s see, can I find you some more trees for $5.97?

You bet! We have Eastern Redbud, Paperbark Birch, Sweetgum trees, and even Japanese Red Maples. I wonder where else are you going to find a Japanese Red Maple for $5.97.

Oh, and Paperbark Birch. These little guys are fast growing and beautiful and tough. They’ll do fine in that soggy area, and they don’t care how much sun there is. These look great in clumps of 3, and they are very fast growing. If you are in a hurry, the Curly Willows add a couple of feet a year, too.

I love Irises – all those beautiful flowers! I grew lots this year, so I have six different kinds of Japanese and Siberian Iris for you right now. Irises are so great around here because they are okay with soil that doesn’t drain well. No problem. And I love that the Siberians start blooming in May, and some of the Japanese keep going well into July. The parade starts with royal blue Caesar’s Brother and pure white King of Kings Siberian Irises. The Japanese Irises bloom next, and those are Tropical Storm, Good Omen, and Variegated Japanese Iris – white stripes on the green leaves, and big royal purple flowers – wow! You can find all these on line for about 10 bucks each (plus shipping) but I’ve got them for $5.97. I should have my head examined for selling these so cheap, but it’s fall, and I don’t want to haul them back to the field for winter.

We’ve got some great bushes the deer don’t like. They’re called Potentilla, and we have Pink Queen and White Snowmound. I can’t promise you that the deer will read this ad, but I can tell you that they’ll likely turn their noses up at these. And also on the Deer Don’t Like This list, we have Sword Ferns. Sure, they look like they are all over the place, but have you tried transplanting one yourself ? Not as easy as it looks. Ours have been growing in their pots for over a year, so they have big strong root systems and we know that they’ll work for you.

We’ve got some beautiful David’s Viburnum that looks super with Emerald Gaiety Wintercreeper. Pop some Lamb’s Ears nearby, and you’re good to go. They’re all $5.97, and they’re all happy pretty much anywhere.

Also for $5.97 we have Minor Black Weigelas and Neon Flash Spireas. These look great together, and grow quick but not too big. As a bonus, you’ll have hot pink flowers all summer long.

I went to another nursery around here yesterday, just to check things out. They wanted at least twice as much for any of our plants, and they weren’t even as big! I was just amazed.

Let’s see, what else can we find for you for $5.97? How about Doublefile Viburnum, and Hostas, and Purple Smoke Bush, and even Oak Leaf Hydrangeas? I love those Oak Leafs, with the flowers that change from white to pink, and that cool peeling bark in winter.

And come pick up some Daylilies. We have three kinds – Stella D’Oro, Catherine Woodberry, and Bonanza.

These beauties bloomed all summer long. I think Stella is still flowering near my front door.

We’ve also got Mrs. Robb’s Bonnet and Variegated Autumn Joy Sedum and lots of other perennials – Cranesbill Geraniums, Bearberry Cotoneaster, Ice Dance Grass, and who knows what else is out there.

There’s lots, lots more, and whatever it is, it’s $5.97.

We also have some really nice Dawn Redwoods for just $14. They were tiny this spring, and now they’re a couple feet tall. They grow like crazy, and they’re just the thing to put between you and those neighbors that have been getting on your nerves all summer.

For a little more money, we have a lot more plants. We have some awesome Magnolias - three different kinds.

Judy Zuk is one beautiful girl. She’s the most brilliant golden Magnolia of all. She’ll be about 15 ft tall in 15 years. The biggest ones are at least 5 ft. tall, $99, and that’s a steal. Bring a truck. The Royal Star Magnolia trees are about 3 ft tall right now, nice and full with lots of branches. These are just covered with fragrant fluffy white flowers in spring, and a steal at $24. And we also have Jane and Betty and Butterflies Magnolias. These can be large shrubs or small trees, with big showy flowers for a long blooming season in spring. Actually, one is blooming in my driveway right now, but I think she’s an overachiever.

Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot. We’ve got three kinds of very special Dogwoods. We have Cherokee Brave, which is super red and only $39, and Radiant Rose, and Wolf Eye, which we like so much we put a great big one right in our front yard.

You get the idea. Come on over SATURDAY and SUNDAY September 20-21 and September 27-28 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Just those 2 weekends, and then we’re putting our feet up. We’re at 10603 Issaquah Hobart Rd, Issaquah. That’s about a mile south of Issaquah (98027 if you’re putting it into your GPS.) There’s a yellow sign that says TODAY, HUGE $5.97 PLANT SALE, west side of the road. Can’t get much easier than that. Come on down the driveway, we’ve got plenty of parking right near the plants. Okay? Good.

See you this weekend!

EDITORIAL

Replace the gas tax, but how?

Every five years, the Washington State Transportation Commission updates its 20year plan, a document meant to inform state and local governments’ decisions on transportation spending and related issues. The draft plan and an opportunity to comment online are available at www.wtp2035.com.

The most significant issue the plan raises doesn’t involve concrete, steel rails or bridge trusses, but how the state pays for maintenance, operation and new construction in the coming years. The state’s gas tax, 37.5 cents per gallon, isn’t automatically adjusted for inflation and doesn’t account for the increase in the number of vehicles with improved fuel efficiency. With each passing year, the revenue generated by the gas tax pays for less and less.

The transportation commission, in the draft plan, calls for a transition from the gas tax to a road usage charge, basically treating transportation in general and roads in particular as a utility to be paid for based on how much of the service each of us use.

(Actually, the commission couches its guidance in squishier language: “The commission recommends that the state continue to evaluate and plan for a possible transition from the gas tax to a road usage charge.”) But you get the picture.

A subcommittee was more concrete, recommending that such a usage charge be assessed either by charging a flat fee for

an unlimited number of miles each month or year, a per-mile fee based on a vehicle’s odometer reading, a per-mile fee with mileage determined by a GPS-recording device, or a combination of two or more of those options.

Charley Royer, the mayor of Seattle from 1978 to 1989 and current Transportation Commission member, knows that such a transition in funding will require a change in thinking for motorists and legislators.

Oregon and California, he noted in a teleconference with The Herald editorial board, are ahead of Washington state in terms of raising the issue and beginning work to implement a workable system.

Any system that uses GPS to determine how many miles are driven on state roadways will likely raise privacy concerns among many motorists, Royer acknowledged. And the gas tax, at least for the time being, remains the closet thing we have to a carbon tax, levying a higher tax on those who pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

“The gas tax is no longer a sustainable way to preserve and maintain our transportation system,” Royer said.

As a funding source, the gas tax is running on empty. Now’s your chance to weigh in on what replaces it.

Education Hill road construction: absurd I am a resident of Redmond and have been since 1973. I have seen this go from a town to a city. I am disgusted with the City of Redmond Planning Commission. Even though I know there is change that will happen, I am not happy about...I can deal with it or move. I am back in my hometown because of personal reasons with my family. This most recent construction of the lanes for Education Hill are one word: absurd.

The bike lane going down the hill is OK, until you get to that Northeast 85th Street.

Who in their right mind drew up that plan, and better yet, who agreed to it? I have a small car but, unless I trade that in and get a MINI Cooper, a bicycle, moped or one of those joke cars they call a “smart car,” you cannot fit into this right-hand turn lane. I feel bad for a bicyclist and a 150-ton truck taking a right-hand turn.

When I went up the hill, I noticed those barrier areas, which I presume will in time have plants and/or flowers in them...but what about the traffic that needs to turn left (like at Northeast 91st Street)? If you want to take a left onto that street and get the apartments or church on that road, you would have to slow down to a crawl to fit into that turn space and you would be slowing down the main traffic to do so. I saw several areas where they are too small to get into or have those diagonal lines in them, and unless you

have the above-sized vehicle, you are out of luck. Some of the side streets (to turn onto 166th Avenue Northeast — the main road) don’t even give a driver a right/left lane to pull into and wait for an opening to pull out onto 166th; now they will still have to wait for the opening from both sides of the road to take a left.

I beg the City of Redmond Planning Commission to find some new planners as I think the ones we have need a little more experience. Better yet, why don’t you utilize the help of residents who actually live in the area and hold a meeting so all residents know what will happen and they can actually suggest better scenarios of the traffic revision?

Maybe then, as Sept. 12 Redmond Reporter letter writer Barbara Thompson suggested, it will get done right — the first time!

about him, but one of his most endearing qualities is that he is such a humble person.

He won’t tell you that he donated a year of his own time to lead Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association out of financial collapse.

He won’t tell you that he has volunteered countless years coaching youth soccer. He won’t tell you that he served on the board of his children’s school for multiple years.

He doesn’t boast about his success in business. Hussey is a proven leader and a smart businessman; our state needs that type of representation in Olympia.

Please join us in voting for Hussey for state representative in the 45th Legislative District.

Give him a chance and you won’t be disappointed.

Pulling for Hussey

Last week, a new analysis of FBI data revealed that, over a 30-year span, 61 percent of the Washington law enforcement officers were murdered with guns sold to prohibited purchasers. As voters, we have the responsibility to do everything we can to protect the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect us.

That is just one of the reason I will vote “yes” on Initiative 594 this November. Currently in Washington, handguns sold by one of the more than 1,100 federally licensed dealers are subject to a federal background check. This prevents felons, domestic abusers [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

We are longtime Redmond residents and are asking you to consider voting for Joel Hussey as our state representative in the 45th Legislative District.

“Why?” you ask…

Because Hussey is running for all of the right reasons. He is not doing it to make a name for himself. He is not doing it to make a living. He is doing it because he wants to serve the people of our community and state.

He wants to make Redmond a better place to live now and in the future.

Many in the community are hurting from the loss of a good friend.

George remembered his friend this way: “He was an amazing storyteller, not just in life, but in business. Telling a story in software is everything. He had this incredible way of talking about customers and software and giving it meaning, that motivated all those around him.

After a meeting with Kyle, you knew what you were working on and who you were helping, even if the first line of code did not exist. He would paint a magical portrait of stories and people, so when you went away you were invigorated. He went all around the world talking about the Surface (the big table years ago) and explaining how it worked and getting people involved. When I first went to Surface, he was the first person I saw … and I came out of that meeting, truly enlightened.”

A memory that I am not very fond of is the amounts of time I sat in my car behind the wheel.

To this very day, there are times where a 15-minute commute turns into a 45-plus-minute commute where I am driving less than 30 mph. The level of congestion for Eastside drivers needs to be resolved. The 520 bridge is paid for by drivers and the construction that is currently taking place is for a HOV land and bike path. It will not help with reducing congestion.

I know there are a lot of families living on the Eastside and I cannot imagine how they handle spending so much time in traffic. Our district is a wonder place to live and where I hope to raise a family someday. I am thrilled that 45th Legislative District state-senator candidate Brendan Woodward believes in a multimodal transportation and sees the importance of reducing traffic for Eastside drivers like me.

The problem is that when these same individuals fail the background check, they can go to a gun show or to an unlicensed seller on line and buy a gun with no questions asked. Initiative 594 will close this loophole.

We know that background checks are effective at reducing crime and saving lives. In the 16 states that have initiated background checks on all handgun sales, there are 39 percent fewer law enforcement officers murdered with handguns.

Keep in mind that when I say 39 percent, these are lives saved, not just statistics. Real people whose lives we can save when we cast our vote this November. Please join me in voting “yes” on I-594 and make our communities a safer place to live and work.

Lee focuses on starting good dental habits early, increasing access to care

For most people, a trip to the dentist is just something they have to do a couple times a year.

But for others, getting their teeth cleaned can be a very unpleasant experience. And for children — especially young children, new to the dentist — that unpleasantness could be exponentially worse.

Michael Lee of Eastside Kids Dentistry at 8630 164th Ave. N.E., Suite 202 in Redmond is trying to change this.

The 30-year-old dentist has made it one of his goals to ensure his patients have a good experience when they visit. With a selection of movies and videos to choose from to watch on the TV above the bench — equipped with headphones — patients can lie down and enjoy whatever is playing on the screen during their appointments.

Lee, a Washington native who grew up just south of Seattle, said he wants to educate kids and their parents on the importance of good dental health, adding that both

children to the dentist beginning at the age of 1, or within 6 months of the child’s first tooth coming in — typically around 1 year old. He said he will see patients until they are about 16 years old, but it will depend on the patient and their situation.

Before opening his own office, Lee worked at various dental offices throughout the Puget Sound area, including one in Puyallup and one in west Bellevue.

Currently, Lee lives in Seattle with his wife and their 21-month-old and 9-month-old sons. He said his wife grew up in Redmond and they are considering moving here as they have family in the area.

Eastside Kids Dentistry opened July 25 and is currently accepting new patients. Lee said to get to know the Redmond community better, they have had booths at local summer events such as Derby Days and Movies at Marymoor.

good and bad habits form early in a child’s life.

He said healthy teeth and gums are a reflection of a person’s overall health and can affect an individual’s quality of life.

According to the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation (NCOHF), pediatric dental disease — also referred to as childhood tooth decay — is the No. 1 chronic childhood illness.

“When left untreated, childhood tooth decay can have devastating consequences that extend beyond the dental chair,” the NCOHF website states. “Rampant decay can negatively impact a child’s overall quality of life, inhibit their cognitive and social development and compromise their growth, function and self esteem.”

In addition, dental care is the most prevalent unmet health need of children in the United States and an estimated 17 million children in the country go without dental care each year, the website states. More than 51 million school hours and 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, which leads to increased educational disparities and decreased productivity.

Lee recommends parents begin bringing their

plans, including Washington Dental Service (also known as Delta Dental).

Lee said with the latter — which is the provider for major Washington companies such as Boeing and Amazon — his office is in-network, meaning families would pay less out of pocket.

“Parents can put money toward other kids’ activities instead of paying out of pocket,” he said. “It’s a big relief financially for families and parents.”

Lee said by being an in-network provider, it increases people’s access to care, which is one of his goals as a dentist.

Michael Lee recently opened Eastside Kids Dentistry in downtown Redmond. He said one of his goals is to start kids early on good dental habits. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter

He received his degree in dentistry from the University of Washington, where he also did his residency.

Lee, who has always had a knack for science and working with his hands, also spent an extra two years studying pediatric dentistry.

Lee said he chose specifically to go into pediatric dentistry because he has always enjoyed working with kids, adding that in the past, he has volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club. He is the first person in his family to go into the medical field. His mother was a special education teacher in Taiwan and his father, an engineer.

While he specializes in taking care of youngsters’ teeth, Lee said as part of his schooling, he has learned how to treat patients of all ages — even spending time treating patients at a retirement home. He has also learned how to treat patients with special needs.

Cheating death, returning home Local community unites to support Gassen family in time of need

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Local photographer Bob Gassen has been a big part of the Kirkland community for 15 years. The Redmond resident and owner of Humanature Photography has been a part of the biggest milestones for many local residents, such as graduations, wedding anniversaries and even newborns. Many of those community members are now lending their support to Gassen at a time when he is attempting to reach some critical milestones of his own — like coming home to his family after nearly drowning.

“We have had an army of friends and community members helping us out,” said Jeff Gassen, Bob’s son. “They have been keeping our heads in a good way and keeping

us strong. He has legions of people pulling for him. It is nice to know that when you get knocked down people have your back.”

Bob nearly died and was put into a medically-induced coma following a boating accident on Aug. 19 in Tacoma.

He spent nearly a month at Tacoma General Hospital but recently returned to Kirkland for out-patient care at EvergreenHealth.

Jeff said that the support from the community has been one of the “wow” moments in a terrible situation.

The outpouring of support from the community can be seen on Jeff ’s Facebook page where he has been updating his father’s condition every couple of days. One post has 112 likes. But the main place that the family has referred friends and community members to look for information is a blog at www. posthope.org/bobs-journey.

The blog, updated by Bob’s daughter Nikki, chronicles many of the ups and downs.

The accident came at the end of an enjoyable day out on the water with friends.

“He was invited to go out on a boat on the Sound,” Jeff said. “They were getting ready to dock and somehow he fell in and almost drowned. He tried to swim to the dock but swallowed a lot of water.”

Jeff said his father was able to get close enough so people could pull him out. CPR was then performed after Bob fell unconscious and emergency

residents returned to the site on Aug. 28. Prior to moving back to Redmond, residents stayed at Temple B’nai Torah in Bellevue for three months.

(Tent City 4 has previously set up camp at St. Jude Parish in Redmond.)

Puckett and a SHARE community member, who chose to remain anonymous, said so far things have been running smoothly for the residents, church members and neighbors.

Two large signs are posted outside of the church notifying people that Tent City 4 is there and the City of Redmond held a public meeting on Aug. 26 for people to discuss the encampment.

Puckett said about 20 people attended the meeting and one person was concerned they didn’t receive a flier regarding the camp’s return to

Here’s a glimpse inside Tent City 4 last Friday afternoon at Redwood Family Church in Redmond. ANDY NYSTROM, Newspaper Redwood. Puckett noted that neighbors who live within 500 feet of Tent City 4 receive fliers, and the person who didn’t receive one lived 800 feet away.

The SHARE community member said one or two neighbors sent complaint letters to the City of Redmond.

In a Reporter story following the end of Tent City 4’s stay in 2013, Redmond Police Department (RPD) officer Julie Beard, who’s now a lieutenant, said there were eight arrests for disorderly conduct, domestic violence, possession of drug paraphernalia, stolen property

medical personnel rushed him to the hospital.

“He was talking to us at 10:45 p.m. but he was pretty badly injured,” Jeff said.

Bob’s condition worsened to the point that doctors decided to put him into a coma to allow his body to recover.

Bob would lose a week of consciousness while his family stood vigil.

“They needed to dry out his lungs. We were pretty close to losing him,” said Jeff, who has worked as a lifeguard. “Drowning is hard on the body and when you inhale saltwater it is really hard. We just had the right people at the right time. We owe it all to the hospital staff and the first responders.”

Bringing Bob to consciousness was not easy and the damage from the accident was evident from the start.

“There were little firsts here and there and then we got to a nice controlled ascension,” Jeff said.

Those little firsts included hand squeezing and wiggling toes. But there were many difficult times when they

weren’t sure how well Bob would come out of it.

“He had to get his brain working again,” Jeff said.

“Sometimes we would ask a question and get the correct answer and sometimes they were wrong.”

Little things, such as knowing the year, did not come back to Bob very easily.

Eventually, he started walking on his own and whispering became talking.

“We’re still not sure about the long-term but he is doing a lot better,” Jeff said.

Jeff and his family have made sure that someone was at the hospital during the past month, including Bob’s wife Mary Gassen.

“They have been together for 30 or 40 years and she is a pretty strong woman,” Jeff said. “Her attitude is a difference maker.”

Mary’s first public words came on Sept. 4, writing on the blog: “Your love, prayers, positive thoughts and rosaries (yes, non-Catholics: look that up!) are so appreciated by our family as we rally together to help Bob take his next steps.

As I watched Bob hooked up to all sorts of equipment, with the specialists reading all the metrics on display, I thought of Jeff ’s tattoo: ‘Every breath … is a gift.’ The ventilator

provided those breaths for Bob for 10 days. And with the expert care he received, his lungs began to resume their function. Breath is the foundation for life.”

Bob was moved back to the Kirkland area for inpatient treatment earlier this week.

“Bob will be out on the road again today,” Nikki wrote on Sept. 6. “He’s currently in the process of getting discharged from the hospital in Tacoma … The great news is that he is well enough to be transported by private vehicle and they must trust Mary enough to let her transport him …”

But it is unclear how long Bob will have in-patient therapy.

His absence from Humanature Photography has been tough. Jeff, along with helping to take care of his father and working his own full-time job, has been filling in for his father at the studio.

“We are fortunate that we have a great relationship with our clients and other business owners,” Jeff said. “It has defied any vision I had when this whole thing started.

It’s hard to keep everything balanced but we are all doing our best to keep things going.”

and outstanding warrants at the encampment. Tent City 4 residents are subject to a criminal-background check and sex-offender check.

According to Janessa Rosick, RPD public information officer, “Redmond police have a great relationship with the residents of Tent City 4.

No extra patrol than normal has been needed in that particular area of Education Hill.” During its current stay, RPD has received one Tent City 4-related call, which was for medical assistance, Rosick added.

Puckett said he and the Redwood congregation are excited to have the Tent City 4 residents back on site.

“It’s a natural transition,” Puckett said.

About 15-20 residents worship at the church on Sundays and a host of community members have welcomed the residents back by

supplying meals and clothes.

Members of the Skyline High School football team from Sammamish helped move the residents onto the Redwood grounds like they did in 2013. The SHARE community member said Tent City 4 has a good relationship with the church, and two residents are planning on getting married on site.

Attel Shillo, who lives on one side of Tent City 4 on Northeast 113th Court, is glad the homeless residents have a place to stay and appreciates organizations like SHARE/WHEEL. “On the other side, I have to admit that every time they come here there’s a little bit of making sure the kids are not outside too much or locking the car more than usual. The level of caution is a notch higher,” she said. “I guess it’s sort of a price that I’m willing to pay in order for them to

have a solution.”

Shillo’s neighbor Steve Roach said things haven’t changed on his block since Tent City 4 residents moved back.

“Normally, they take care of themselves, they have trash bags out to pick up any litter. We didn’t even hardly notice they were there other than the signage,” he said, adding that he sees residents frequenting the bus stop to catch their rides to and from work.

Roach supports what Tent City 4 stands for in offering people a place to rest their heads at night and supporting them in their job searches.

On a high note, Puckett added that two former Tent City 4 residents from Redwood have since found their own housing, so “it’s a couple cool stories there.”

Police address skate-park safety after recent reported assault Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

For about 20 years, the Edge Skate Park at 83rd Street in downtown Redmond has been a place for skateboarders of all ages and skill levels to gather and practice their skills.

But some of the nonskating-related activity has one regular park goer concerned about his and others’ safety.

The man, who has asked to remain anonymous due to concerns about his safety, has been skating at the park — located at the corner of Northeast 83 Street and 161st Avenue Northeast — for about a year and a half. And during this time, he said he has seen teens — mostly high school-aged, though sometimes they are middle school-aged — using and distributing drugs at the park. He said, on occasion, there has also been violence.

The man, a 27-year-old Redmond resident, said some of the teens also exhibit a gang-like mentality, creating their own rules at the park.

He said he has brought his concerns to Redmond City Council and the Redmond Police Department (RPD).

“They know there’s an issue there,” he said.

information officer for RPD, said so far in 2014, Redmond police has received 32 calls, though about half of the calls were not for police. She said these were for things such as an agency assist or a medical call. She said five of the calls this year have been for warrants and four were for found property.

Police received one or two calls for disorderly conduct and two calls for assault.

One of the assault calls came within the last couple of weeks for a fight at the park. The concerned Redmond resident witnessed the incident and said one of the individuals involved used a set of spiked brass knuckles, which were left at the scene when the police were called and arrived on the scene. The resident described the fight as five against one, with the group of teens and young adults beating up an individual.

He said he thinks the fight may have started over a possible stolen cell phone.

Regarding this incident, Rosick said they were not able to identify the victim and the reporting party did not stay on the scene when police arrived. She added that there was one individual who matched the description of one of the suspects, but they denied any involvement.

Rosick added that officers located the brass knuckles in a nearby trash can.

After witnessing this altercation, the concerned skate park goer said he would like to see a fence put up around the park so there is only one entrance and exit. He said when the police arrived on the scene, those involved dispersed in all different directions as the park is out in the open. If there was only one entrance and exit, he said, it would have been easier to apprehend suspects.

Rosick said when they see an incident such as this occur at the park, RPD will increase patrols in the area for a little while. If they see an ongoing issue, she said the increased patrols will last longer.

Ken Wong, administrator for the City of Redmond’s teen programs, added that if there is an ongoing problem at the skate park, they will talk with some of the regulars at the park and ask for their help to monitor the situation, explaining to them that if problems persist, they will have to close the park. He said in the few cases in which they have done this — for example, when they had graffiti and tagging issues at the park — things resolved themselves.

Commission announced that Sept. 27 is a state parks “free day.” Day-use visitors will not need a Discover Pass to visit state parks.

The “free day” is in recognition of the 21st anniversary of National Public Lands Day — the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort for public lands.

State parks “free days” are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass, a $30 annual or $10 one-day permit required on lands managed by Washington State Parks and the Washington departments of Natural Resources (DNR) and Fish & Wildlife (WDFW). The Discover Pass legislation provided that state parks could designate up to 12 “free days” each year when the pass would not be required to visit state parks. The Discover Pass is still required to access lands managed by WDFW and DNR on these days.

Washington State Parks announces ‘free day’ Sept. 27 The Washington State Parks and Recreation

Rosick said between police patrols and activities and events put on by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, the skate park is well attended.

“There’s a pretty significant presence there throughout the day,” Rosick said.

Wong added, “We try to get out there as much as we can.”

He said the city holds

activities at the skate park such as an annual skateboard competition and formal instruction for those who want to learn how to skate.

Despite what Wong and Rosick say about the city’s presence at the park, the concerned skateboarder remains skeptical and said he would like to see a regular adult presence from the city onsite specifically

to manage the park and help prevent the drug use and occasional violence he sees.

Rosick said the skate park is a low call-forservice area and looking at the calls they do receive, there is nothing to warrant a city employee assigned specifically to the park.

“It’s an incredibly safe park,” she said.

having a show like FMA Live! is a good way to help get students interested in science — or any subject.

They both said while they have always found science interesting, the show has definitely encouraged them to take more science classes in the future.

Rose Hill Principal Erin Bowser agreed.

“Kids really engage in that way,” she said about the show using music to teach about the concepts, adding that the demonstrations will also help students remember the concepts.

Bowser said when they were first approached last spring about bringing the FMA Live! show to her school, she passed on the information to the Rose Hill science teachers. She said they approved of the materials.

Kennedy added that they have additional online resources available for teachers to utilize in the classroom, as well. In addition, she said, Honeywell offers a space academy teachers can attend so they can bring more concepts into their classrooms. There are also grants teachers can apply for to help them.

I was at a party the other night, and everyone’s occupation came up — when I said I’m a massage therapist, Gary said to me, “Oh I tried massage once. It didn’t do anything.”

I’ve heard this many times before. And I decided to follow up this time, rather than just politely remain quiet and try not to judge.

Me: “Really? What happened?”

Gary: “It just didn’t do anything at all.”

Me: “Why did you get massage in the first place?”

G: “My girlfriend said I should because I have a bad back. I take ibuprofen for it and it goes away.”

Me: “I see. How many ibuprofen do you take for it?”

Me: “Hmm. Sounds like the pain is getting worse. Did you tell your massage therapist you take so many?”

G: “No, why would I need to tell her that? It was just a back rub.”

Me: “Well, this may surprise you, but massage therapy is a bit more than a back rub. Your massage therapist is well versed in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and a lot of other -ologies that you may not be aware of. It’s always best to inform them of any kinds of medications you may be taking.”

G: “Oh she had a form I had to sign but I just signed the bottom of it. I didn’t see the need to go into details with her.”

Me: “So, you start out by not giving her information, and then expect some magic to happen during the session — be instantly and forever cured of any and all discomfort in your body that you’ve

had for years — and blame her when your discomfort returns? Who failed who in this scenario?”

G: “Well, why should she know about ibuprofen? Geez, should I also tell her I’m taking statins? Does she really need to know I was in a bad car accident that injured my back seven years ago? Or that I played sports in high school and hurt my ankle?”

Me: “I suspect that information was asked on your intake form, and yes, she should know these things.

It can be the difference between a ‘back rub’ and true massage therapy. The more information you can give your health care provider, the better treatment you can receive. I’d suggest trying it again, and this time, fill out the form as completely as you can — maybe you’ll get a different outcome. I’m not promising you’ll be 100 percent pain free after just one session — but you’ll probably see better results.

And just like you have to take more than one ibuprofen to keep pain at bay, you’ll probably need to have massage

on a regular basis, maybe a few times per month, to help re-educate your muscles and help them work more optimally for your body.

Who knows? Maybe massage therapy can help you reduce the amount of ibuprofen you have to take! That would be pretty cool.”

G: “Wow, I didn’t even think about a massage therapist being considered a health-care provider. I just thought it was a back rub.”

Me: “I don’t think I’d last a decade in this business if all I did was rub people’s backs for a living. THAT would drive me crazy! I’m so happy to be able to help change people’s lives and keep them active — and I can do it best when they let me know their unique situations so I can give them the unique treatment they need!”

Overlake’s Toland races triathlons near and far Jack Toland is looking to continue his ascension in the sport he loves. He will have that chance during the upcoming Kirkland Triathlon on Sunday.

At just 18 years old, his two and a half years competing in triathlons have paid off. Recently, The Overlake School student took first place for his age group (20 and under) at the 2014 ITU Sprint Triathlon World Championships held in Edmonton, Canada.

“It was really awesome,” he said of the race. “Everything sort of pulled together.”

Last year, he took first for his age group in the Kirkland Triathlon, though he said he’s going for the overall gold on Sunday.

Incidentally, Toland spent his childhood on Lake Washington sailboat racing along with his parents, Laurian and Marv, in their Melges 24.

He was also a member of the U.S. Optimist National Team. It was while sailing he said he developed a highly competitive spirit, which played a role when he first became interested in triathlons.

Toland said the decision to participate in his first race during May 2012 in Elma, Wash., along with his father, was done on the spur of the moment the day before the event. He performed well, taking first for his age group and fourth overall out of 60 participants.

“I think it’s pretty unique for every single person,” he said. “You want to capitalize on resources before you throw yourself into it.”

He added that strategy is also crucial to success.

“I think knowing your strengths and weaknesses is important,” he said. “Killing on the bike just doesn’t always work.

You have to have physical responses to different levels of intensity.”

For the Kirkland Triathlon, however, he said where he is going he won’t require a map.

“It goes close to my house,” he said.

While he hopes to take first, he said he plans to tone down the number of upcoming races in order to avoid potential injuries that might hurt his cross country season.

During the Lifetime Fitness Leadman Marquee 125 in Arizona this past spring, Toland injured himself, though he still managed to take first overall amateur, as well as the fastest bike split.

“It was pretty hot down here,” he said. “I had been training during the winter. I ended up pretty dehydrated and pulled my calf, which led to a string of knee, ankle injuries.”

Staying off roadwork, Toland spent 10 weeks recovering from the injuries.

Beyond the upcoming triathlon, Toland hopes to run collegiate cross country in California and study aerospace engineering.

Toland’s race results are posted on his blog at jtolandtri.com.

tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

“It was intense but fun at the same time,” he said.

Something about the combination of swimming, biking and running caught on with Toland, so much so that when he had the opportunity to sail with the U.S. Olympic Team, he turned it down in order to focus on triathlons.

Laurian said both she and her husband knew very little about triathlons prior to the first race.

“When they get older, they have their own destiny,” she said.

Toland puts in about 25 hours per week training, swimming daily in the mornings and then running cross country, which he’s done since middle school at Overlake during the afternoons. He also has several professional coaches helping him train.

“It all adds up,” he said. “It’s pretty much school, sleeping and training.”

In spite of the time crunch, he has still managed to make friends, even among his competitors.

“I have lots of different friends who train with me,” he said. “A few cross country friends, but since I’m in triathlon there are tons of people I’ve met.”

On his personal blog, he recounts his experiences during the races.

To prepare for triathlons, he said he examines the various sections, depending on where the triathlon is being held.

Local races require less studying due to familiarity with the terrain.

BRIEFS

Last week, Bear Creek defeated Overlake, 3-1, and beat Life Christian, 6-0, to open the season.

Goal scorers were Isbell (two), Sara Hastings (two), Hannah Bauermeister (two), Bethany VanBaak (two) and Leszynski.

The Grizzlies jump up to the 1A classification this season and will play in the Emerald City League. As a 1B/2B school, they won state titles in 2011 and 2012 and finished second in 2013.

GIRLS SOCCER • In Redmond action, Abbi Yost scored in the Mustangs’ 1-0 victory over Glacier Peak and Vanessa Chung scored twice in the team’s 1-1 draws with Snohomish and Ferris.

FOOTBALL Redmond dropped to 0-2 with a 38-10 home loss to Mount Si on Friday night.

The Mustangs struck first with 6:15 left in the opening quarter with a 14-yard touchdown pass from A.J. Rial to Jack Talbot followed by a Johnny White PAT. Mount Si then took control and soon led 24-7 at halftime.

White added a 27-yard field goal with 7:18 left in the third quarter to cut Mount Si’s lead to 24-10, but the visitors added two more touchdowns en route to victory.

Rial was 10-for-15 passing for 90 yards and Gerald Wright caught three passes for 30 yards. Robert Fleeks led Mustang rushers with 16 carries for 63 yards.

Defensively, Corey Chandler had seven tackles and Riley Cagle snagged an interception.

Redmond next plays Woodinville at 7 p.m. tonight at Pop Keeney Field

• On Tuesday, Bear Creek and Seattle Academy played to a 3-3 tie.

Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute, but Whitney Isbell and Jill Leszynski scored in the 15th and 20th minutes, respectively, to give the Grizzlies a 2-1 lead at halftime. Seattle tied the match in the 56th minute, Isbell sent the Grizzlies ahead in the 60th minute and Seattle evened it up again in the 74th minute.

The teams played two overtime periods, with Seattle scoring in the 89th minute and — at the time — winning, 4-3. However, due to 1A Emerald City League guidelines, all games that end in a tie at the end of regulation remain a tie, with no overtime period. League board members and athletic directors voted and the game will be considered a 3-3 tie.

In other recent contests, Redmond notched a 3-0 win over Marysville Getchell and dropped a 3-2 loss to Arlington.

Scores against Marysville Getchell were 25-14, 25-21, 25-19; the Mustangs lost to Arlington 25-20, 23-25, 23-25, 25-20, 12-15.

Redmond Town Center gives away gift cards Redmond Town Center (RTC) recently gave away 481 gift cards, totaling $10,000 to shoppers participating in the mall’s giveaway event.

The gift cards had varying denominations ranging from $5-500.

Phyllis Gick, an Indiana resident who was visiting her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Woodinville, won $500 to the mall.

“I’m going shopping,” she exclaimed.

Gick and her family saw an ad about the giveaway in the newspaper. They called Gick’s son-in-law’s mother in Bremerton and everyone met at the RTC Prize Wheel for a chance at a spin.

The other woman won a $200 gift card.

“The whole family is lucky,” said Gick’s daughter, who won a $5 gift card but promised to be back next year and do better.

Changes forthcoming on Microsoft board of directors Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday announced that Teri List-Stoll, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Kraft Foods Group Inc., and Charles W. Scharf, chief executive officer of Visa Inc., have been appointed to the company’s board of directors and will join the board effective Oct. 1.

The company also announced that Dave Marquardt and Dina Dublon have decided not to seek re-election to the board of directors and will retire from the board at the expiration of their current

term following the annual shareholders meeting in December.

Microsoft also announced its board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, reflecting a 3-cent, or 11 percent, increase over the previous quarter’s dividend. The dividend is payable Dec. 11 to shareholders of record on Nov. 20. The ex-dividend date will be Nov. 18.

“As we continue to focus on the company’s transformation and the board continues to evaluate capital strategy options,

this dividend increase is another step in our ongoing commitment to increase capital returns to shareholders,” said Amy Hood, chief financial officer of Microsoft, in a press release.

Scharf, 49, has served as CEO of Visa since November 2012. Before joining Visa, Scharf spent nine years at JPMorgan Chase & Co. as the chief executive officer of Retail Financial Services and managing director at One Equity Partners, the firm’s private investment arm.

List-Stoll, 51, is ex-

ecutive vice president and chief financial officer for Kraft Foods Group, Inc. Before joining Kraft, she served as senior vice president and treasurer at Procter & Gamble.

“I’m excited to have both Teri and Charlie joining our board,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, in a press release.

“Teri brings exceptional financial and operational expertise, as well as great insights from her two decades of experience in consumer and retail industries. Charlie, as a sitting CEO of a large

global business, brings additional strategic and operational depth to the Microsoft board, as well as a deep understanding of how commerce is changing globally.”

Marquardt, 65, has served on the Microsoft board since 1981 in a variety of capacities. Dublon, 61, joined the Microsoft board in 2005, and has chaired the compensation committee.

“As one of our earliest board members, Dave has played an indispensable role in Microsoft’s growth and development, pro-

viding sage counsel and invaluable industry insights,” said Bill Gates, founder and technology adviser of Microsoft, in a press release. “Dina has also been a great board member for almost a decade, and we all appreciate her guidance and support.”

Adding List-Stoll and Scharf will increase Microsoft’s board to 12 members effective Oct. 1.

Scharf will be joining the board’s governance and nominating committee.

List-Stoll will be joining the audit committee.

Last week, Friends of Youth (FOY) held a culminating celebration of its “Housing Our Future” Capital Campaign at its Kirkland campus.

Community members, staff, board members, partners and donors toured the six new facilities while sharing in the successful completion of the campaign. U.S. Congresswoman Suzan DelBene noted that the efforts of the community are changing the lives of youth in need. The event showcased the campaign’s final facilities – two homes for youth in extended foster care.

In July 2012, FOY embarked on a capital campaign to raise $6.7 million to build seven new facilities. The goal of the campaign was to better respond to the increasing incidence of youth homelessness in the community, while creating a more visible location for the agency.

The finished projects include: Redmond Youth Service Center, housing the agency’s drop-in center, street outreach program and young adult emergency shelter; Kirkland Youth Service Center, the agency’s headquarters, including direct services for homeless youth; Youth Haven, a new home serving up to 12 under 18 at-risk, home-

“Caramelos Para Todos” follows Bebo Valdés, an exiled Cuban pianist, who befriends the much younger Carlinhos Brown, a musician and activist from Candeal. Candeal was made famous when Brown and others persuaded the residents of the Brazilian favela to lay down their guns through the power of music. The film is shown as a prelude to Trueba’s “El Milagro de Candeal,” which will air on television in Redmond on Oct. 9 as an official 2014 SLFF film entry.

celebrate Redmond in the early 1900s with the City of Redmond’s Moonshine Series.

The series will take place from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday and Oct. 1 and 8.

Attendees will step back to the early 1900s and play a part in celebrating and enacting both Redmond’s incorporation and the prohibition time period.

During the three evenings of the series, participants can learn how to dance with Tim Hickey; reenact local stories with the Moonshine ensemble; produce and contribute art and poetry to a special Moonshine exhibit with Redmond poet laureate Michael Dylan Welch and local artist Jacqui Calladine; listen to live, vintage music

by Dave and Candace Brown; take a walking tour with local historian, Tom Hitzroth; catch up on local history with the Redmond Historical Society and visit local businesses for vintage treats and specials.

Some businesses will craft their own food and drink specials, celebrating the time period. Some businesses will host the evening’s activities. And some will do both. Participants can stop by the information table at O’Leary Park, on the corner of Leary Way and Redmond Way, during the three evenings to obtain an event program.

The Moonshine Series will be held along Leary Way from Half Price Books to Redmond’s Bar & Grill.

Parking is available at the Redmond Central Connector city parking lot, located at the corner of Leary Way and Bear Creek Parkway.

The Moonshine Series is a 4Culture Site Specific, Redmond Historical Society and City of Redmond Historic Core celebration.

Beginning at 3 p.m., film buffs have the opportunity to see “Pedro Pan,” a short film by director Andrea Puente. The 16-minute historic drama tells the story of young Elena and her little brother Manuel as they try to stick together during Operation Pedro Pan. Operation Pedro Pan was the largest recorded exodus of unaccompanied minors in the Western Hemisphere until the present day. More than 14,000 Cuban youths arrived alone in the United States.
