Hall of Famer
Brigitte Tennis of Stella Schola Middle School was honored at last Friday’s assembly in the Rose Hill Middle School cafeteria. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
Stella Schola’s Tennis to be inducted into National Teacher Hall of Fame SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
At the end of the school day last Friday, Brigitte Tennis led her eighth-grade class to the cafeteria at Rose Hill Middle School in Redmond. She had been told that her students’ netbook computers needed to be updated for the upcoming state testing and techs from the district would be onsite to do the work. But when the class arrived in the cafeteria, they found the remaining students from Stella Schola Middle School — a Lake Washington School District (LWSD) choice school that shares a building with Rose Hill — seated in chairs facing the stage. And unlike Tennis’ students — still dressed in their lab coats from an earlier frog-dissection lesson — none of the sixth- or seventhgraders had their computers with them. This was because everyone was gathered to recognize Tennis as she had been selected to be inducted into this year’s
“I live and breathe education. I would choose nothing else.” Brigitte Tennis National Teachers Hall of Fame (NTHF) — an honor that took her completely by surprise. “(Rose Hill principal Erin Bowser) did a fabulous job disguising everything,” said Tennis, who has worked for LWSD since 1981 and founded Stella Schola in 2000. Bowser admitted that while she was excited to hear the news about Tennis receiving the honor, she was not excited to plan the surprise. She said Tennis always schedules things far in advance and down to the minute. Bowser said she made sure to check Tennis’ calendars to make sure not to disrupt the schedule. Bowser said she decided to go with the netbooks idea because she thought if the
“request” came from the district level, Tennis would have no choice but to comply. “I thought that was the only option,” Bowser said with a laugh.
A VALIDATING HONOR
Tennis was nominated by a parent of a former student. That former student is now about 26 years old, she said. NTHF notified her about the nomination in the fall of 2014. Following the nomination, Tennis said she had to fill out an application form, write a few essays from prompts that were provided and produce a three-minute video that was supposed to encompass her as a teacher. She originally captured two hours of footage that had to be pared down for the final cut. Two former students — now freshmen at the University of Washington — helped her edit the video.

When Ed Carolan was in high school, he worked a few odd jobs after school, but he didn’t have any real direction. His mother suggested the military, but he rejected that idea. “Why would I want to have short hair and wear a uniform?” he said about his thoughts at the time. Carolan’s mother then suggested firefighting after meeting and getting to know a number of the firefighters from the station located across the street from the grocery store where she was working at the time. Carolan — who was born in Davenport, Iowa and moved to the

That was in 1975 and his objections to short hair and uniforms must not have been too strong as he recently retired from an almost four-decade-long career with the Redmond Fire Department (RFD). Carolan, 58, said he found the regimented leadership structure of the training — which was

similar to how an actual fire department would be run — appealing. “I like that kind of structure,” he said. When he completed his training, he would take tests to get into fire departments all over the region — although he wanted to stay in the Puget Sound area and close to his family (he is second in a line of seven siblings). At that time, the fire departments in Redmond, Kirkland and Bothell were offering a joint test and when he took it, Carolan said the potential hires were asked to name their preferred city. He had visited the three departments and said Redmond appealed to him the most. Carolan joined the RFD in September 1976. During his 38 and a half years of service with RFD, Carolan worked his way up to battalion chief, a position he had held since 1986 until he retired on March 13. Prior to this, he worked as a driver and a lieutenant.
A REWARDING CAREER
Carolan said one of the things he enjoyed about fire service was the instant reward firefighters received from their work as they know right then and there if they do something right. [ more RETIRE page 3 ]

All King County and Redmond residents can safely dispose of old car batteries, oil, paint thinner and many other household hazardous items at no cost when the Wastemobile travels to The Home Depot at 17777 N.E. 76th St. in Redmond. The Wastemobile will be in the store parking lot from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Sunday. Residents can drop off household hazardous waste items including pesticides, oil-based paints, automotive products (oil, antifreeze, lamps, etc.), fluorescent bulbs/tubes and other items without a charge. The service is pre-paid through garbage and sewer utility fees. Created in 1989, the Wastemobile was the first traveling hazardous waste disposal program in the nation. It is operated by the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program and goes throughout the county from the spring through fall. Residents help protect the environment and public health by safely disposing of the hazardous materials and keeping them out of drains and landfills.
he said. But not all of his memories are happy. Carolan said being a firefighter can be an emotional task. And one instance of this occurred in 2011 when an apartment fire on New Year’s Day claimed the lives of five people. Carolan was the incident commander on that call.

Carolan will also remember all of the friends he has made during his time at the department and now that he is retired, Carolan said he will miss them — though he said he will not be leaving the department for good. “I’ll never not be part of the Redmond Fire Department,” Carolan said. “I will always have that connection.” The feeling is mutual. “Chief Carolan will truly be missed by the City of Redmond,” said Redmond Fire Chief Tommy Smith. “He has served the citizens of Redmond selflessly for over 38 years. Chief Carolan came to work every day with the same level of dedication as he did in his early years with the department. Nearly four decades of service did not diminish his passion for the people he worked with or those that he served. Chief Carolan is an inspiration to us all and we wish Ed and his family the very best in retirement.” Fire Capt. Jeff Smith agreed, saying Carolan always gave 100 percent and didn’t slow down as the finish line approached.

He also liked that firefighting is a team effort and that everyone has a job to do. “It’s really exciting,” he said, adding, “I’ll miss the teamwork. I’ll miss the adrenaline of going out and being challenged.” For Carolan working at RFD for nearly four decades has lent itself to many memories. He has seen new fire stations open around town as well as rookies he had worked with in their early days move up the ranks. Carolan also remembers working with other jurisdictions and taking the lead to plan and organize emergency response plans for the PGA Championship when it was held at the Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish in 1998. He said on the second day of the golf tournament, somebody went into cardiac arrest and it only took two minutes for a team of first responders to reach the individual to transport them to the hospital. He said while he was not on that call, he played a big role as he helped plan for such an event. “I felt some ownership,”
PERSONAL CONNECTIONS
“A classic example of modeling the expected conduct,” Jeff said. After his final shift, Carolan said he was able to say he completed his career without any deaths of the firefighters working under him or any of them sustaining a career-ending injury. He said out of all the things he accomplished during his time at RFD, he is most proud of that fact as these were his brothers and sisters in fire service and he was responsible for them.

Redmond Chamber/Nokomis building parking and congestion issue Several years ago, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce surrendered its charter and two years ago a new group called OneRedmond was formed, with its function being to promote new Redmond businesses. This group acquired the old Redmond Chamber of Commerce building, originally built as Redmond’s first library and then sold the building to a fellow member who just happens to be a real estate developer. This developer applied for and received approval for construction of an “apodment,” or rooming house, with a total of 96, 150-square-foot residential units. The proposed building site is only 9,000 square feet with minimal parking area. The footprint of this high-density building covers most of the property. Presently, the on-street parking in the surrounding area is very limited. The overflow often uses the parking lots of adjacent local businesses. With the construction of this building, the developer proposes to limit the amount of in-building tenant parking to 29. For a residential building with 96 units, the code requirement is 48. The developer is apparently counting on his tenants purchasing 24-hour street parking permits from the City of Redmond to fill the gap. In the surrounding area, there are less than 12 24-hour parking spaces available. In addition, no consideration has been given to the need of guest parking, and the increased congestion due to service vehicles. As this will be a temporary housing facility, there will also be the constant move-in/move-out traffic. To further accommodate this project, the City of Redmond is considering closing the blocklong street in front of the project (Brown Street), turning it into an open area to accommodate the open space needed for a 96-unit “apodment,” which has no outdoor activity area. Immediately west of the proposed project is an undeveloped piece of property, recently purchased by a developer whom I understand is interested in building townhouses on the property. On-street parking considerations must be given to this new project. Little or no consideration has been given to the other surrounding property owners and the off-street parking requirements needed to accommodate these existing businesses. I believe the city should reconsider allowing this project to move forward as proposed until all of the parking and traffic congestion issues have been resolved. The city owes this much to the long-term existing local businesses.
Walter Brewe, Redmond
What about addressing light rail, Sen. Hill? I read with great interest Sen. Andy Hill’s recent op-ed “Making decisions in Olympia by thinking of Redmond.” I was disappointed that nowhere did he address one of the greatest needs Redmond and all of East King County has for a sustainable economy and future — the need for light rail transit. When it comes to light rail, Hill apparently isn’t thinking about Redmond — he’s putting party politics first. Just recently, Hill voted
against light rail expansion for the East Side. Sound Transit needs $15 billion to bring light rail to Redmond and other Eastside locations, and Sen. Hill voted against full funding. That vote leaves Redmond commuters stuck in traffic. We’re shooting ourselves in the foot economically if we do not expand light rail into Redmond — and that includes the areas beyond the Microsoft campus. Thankfully, the 2015 House Transportation budget includes local taxing authority needed to make light rail a reality. But some Republicans are threatening to kill that transit taxing authority over their disapproval of Gov, Inslee’s clean fuels standard. Transit and clean air should not be political trading cards. I hope when the final vote comes, Hill will put the people of Redmond and our need for light rail first.
Paul N. Bay, Redmond Retired transportation engineer
Sen. Hill should support road expansion within his own district Having keenly followed transit development in the area for some time, I found Sen. Andy Hill’s inability to properly represent his constituents with the ST3 funding measure (SB 5987) to be rather disappointing. His willingness to support road expansion outside of our area, while denying his own district the right to vote on its own preferred solution to the gridlock that is progressively lowering the quality of life in the area (as evidenced by both WSDOT and the grumblings of disgruntled happy-hour friends and colleagues), leaves one to wonder where his interests truly lie? If he is indeed in favor of small government, why not allow “We the People” the right to vote on our own future? If he is indeed in favor of solutions to our growing traffic problems, why does he refuse to work positively towards a multi-modal solution? Perhaps most damningly, why does he not fight harder for his King County home, which receives a mere 65 cents for each dollar sent to the Capitol (source: Office of Financial Management)? If rumors of his gubernatorial ambitions are correct, I would suggest that a commute to Olympia would be more timely with a better transit system, and remind him that his job is to
represent his voters, not his party.

From the Web: Thoughts on the new Cleveland Street The new Cleveland Street — also known as the Horn Honk and Tire Screeching capital of Washington. There are more horns honking in anger than I’ve ever heard in Vegas. The concrete design is very loud and lacks all the benefits of an asphalt topping. You can hear vehicles driving the entire length of Cleveland Street with your windows closed. Don’t bother using the crosswalk in front of Prime — drivers honk at you, assuming they even bother to slow down at all. With narrow lanes and curbs now non-existent, cars are everywhere. Shaking my head, I’ll be moving away soon as I value what little sleep I get.

Washington tax system most regressive in nation Recently, a study from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy rated Washington State’s tax system as the most regressive in the nation. This report states that we tax “the poorest residents at 16.8 percent, while taxing the top 1 percent at only 2.4 percent.” Working families, who are struggling, to get by are shouldering a disproportionate share of the cost for our state’s basic services. During this legislative session, our elected leaders have an opportunity to alleviate this inequity. The Carbon Pollution Accountability Act will sell carbon permits to the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the state, and use those revenues to fund Washington’s Working Families Tax Rebate, benefitting over 450,000 of the lowest-paid workers in our state. The bill will also generate hundreds of millions of dollars in new funds for educational initiatives such as childcare, preschool, college outreach, and school counseling, in addition to critical transportation infrastructure projects such as expanded light rail. I know we can do better when it comes to protecting our environment, providing essential services, and establishing a fair revenue system; the Carbon Pollution Accountability Act gives a chance to do all three. As a concerned citizen, I urge Rep. Ross Hunter to support this historic bill.

AAA shares distracted-driving study with Redmond Rotary
CITATIONS
In addition to potential collisions, distracted driving can also result in a driver being cited. Parsons said the City of Redmond has an inattentive driving municipal code that allows police to pull someone over who is not paying attention while they are driving. Although, he added, in order for them to be able to pull someone over for this, there has to be some sort of vehicle movement or nonmovement such as swerving or remaining stopped at an intersection after the traffic light has been green for some time. Parsons said a person can be doing a number of things to be inattentive such as the previously mentioned activities. Specific to cell phone use, he said talking on a cell phone — with the phone to your ear — is a primary offense in Washington. “If we observe that, that’s all we need to see,” Parsons said, adding that if a driver is using the speaker function of a phone and holding it in front of their mouth, that is OK. Drivers can be cited for texting while driving, as well, he said, and when officers are on motorcycles, they can maneuver themselves and see more easily if someone is doing that. However, Parsons said, drivers could be doing other things on their phones such as looking at email or Facebook or changing the radio station on their Pandora. Currently, he said, this is not a traffic violation as the law
and age group. “It is all over,” he said. Parsons said he sees a lot specifically in the Avondale corridor and along Willows Road and Redmond Way. But these thoroughfares also have higher volumes of traffic compared to more residential areas.
TIPS AND ADVICE
Some tips Parsons had for drivers to avoid being distracted include planning ahead. He said drivers should make sure to have their
bluetooth device connected to their car so they are not taken off guard if they do receive a phone call. He also advised drivers not go searching for their phone if they hear it ringing. People can also plan to just not use their phone while driving, Parsons said. Nelson said for parents, modeling safe driving for their kids and teen drivers (or future drivers) is also important. He said one thing drivers can do is put their phones
somewhere they cannot reach or hear it so they will not be distracted if they get a call or message. Other passengers in the car can also be distracting, so if a conversation or child’s tantrum calls your attention from the road, pulling over can help. Nelson said you should also try not to be a distraction, as well. “Don’t call someone when you know they’re driving,” he said.

These were all rated in a study on distracted driving that was conducted by the AAA Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Utah. Nelson, who shared some of the study results at a luncheon for the Rotary Club of Redmond on Thursday, said the distractions were placed into three categories: mild danger, moderate danger and high danger. He said activities such as listening to the radio or an audiobook while driving fall under mild danger. Talking on a handheld cell phone or a hands-free device are moderate dangers, Nelson said, adding that with the latter, hands free does not equal risk free. And when it comes to texting or using voice-activated technology on phones or the car, he said those were rated as high dangers. Nelson said voice-activated technology was rated as a high danger due to the level of accuracy — or inaccuracy — of phones. “(The message you are dictating) is not accurate and all of a sudden, your head is somewhere else,” he said about people trying to correct their messages. When a driver is distracted, Nelson said they are affected in three ways — visually, manually and cognitively. When someone is texting while they are driving, he said, all three areas are affected as their eyes are off the road, their hands are off the wheel and their minds are not focused on driving. Nelson added that if sending a text takes about five seconds, for someone driving 55 mph, they could travel about the length of a football field while not paying attention to the road. Basically driving while blindfolded, he said.
is written specifically about texting. “It causes a big gray area,” Parsons said. Although he added that the state legislature is currently looking at a bill that could make it illegal to manipulate your cell phone in any way. Targeted enforcement of distracted and inattentive driving is something RPD traffic officers do on a daily basis, Parsons said, because it is so widespread. And in his experience, violators represent every demographic

DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING DISTRACTED
Tom Parsons, an officer with the Redmond Police Department’s (RPD) traffic division, said the type of collision they see the most in Redmond are rear-end collisions. And when they question drivers, he said, some will admit to being distracted before the crash — whether it was because they were on a cell phone, changing the radio station, fiddling with a GPS unit or anything else that would take their mind off the road. But not everyone admits to being distracted after an accident, so Parsons said the number of rear-end collisions caused by distracted driving is probably higher than what is recorded. Parsons said people can run red lights or speed if they are not paying attention, which could lead to more serious collisions.
1278361
For many people, driving is part of everyday life. They use their vehicles to get to and from work, school and any other errands they might have during the day. As a result, driving can get routine, making it easy to get distracted. Kirk Nelson, president and CEO of AAA Washington, said distractions can range from talking or texting on a cell phone, to listening to an audiobook, to talking to someone using a hands-free device.

He began the presentation by asking the students to think of a teacher they have had who believed in them and pushed them to succeed. He then went on to explain why he was at their school and described the person they were recognizing. After the first few qualities he listed, students began turning around to look at Tennis, who was sitting in the back of the room. Tennis, once she realized what was happening, became visibly emotional. “It’s validating,” she said both
“She should be (nominated),” said Gretchen Mayo, one of those former students. “She definitely deserves it.” Julian Boss, the other student to help with the video, had struggled academically in elementary school. He said after attending Stella Schola, whose emphasis is focused on mastery learning for all students, he developed good study habits that led him to a more successful academic career in high school and now in college. Mayo added that the lessons Tennis and the other teachers at Stella Schola instill in their students go beyond the curriculum. They teach their

22,086 clients who benefitted from support programs like emergency financial assistance ($628,265 total), heat and energy assistance ($2,644,225 total) and food assistance (2,183,286 meals). “Hopelink is focused on growing our effectiveness and our impact,” Thomas said. On the food side, they hope to increase the number of people they serve from 15,479 to 21,000 over the next 10 years. The report notes that 581 households and 677 adults completed/exited a Hopelink program last year — Thomas said they’d like to add an ad-
ditional 1,000 people per year to that number. Thomas said Hopelink plans to do this through a systematic approach, working with all their partners through community activities and more. The 16-page report also notes that one in seven northeast King County residents live in poverty; 37 percent of Hopelink clients are children; and the living wage for a family of four in King County is $74,000 per year, yet 86 percent of the households Hopelink serves earn less than $30,000 per year “(The report is) really only

during the assembly. “I’m so excited,” she said about Tennis’ honor. Pierce also recalled the first few times she met Tennis and how the other woman was always wearing a costume. Pierce said those costumes were indicative of Tennis’ passion and creativity when it comes to getting students to learn. Pierce added that Tennis never received the memo that there is no school on Saturdays as she offers help to students who need or want it on the weekend day.
In addition to Andrews, LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce and Washington Education Association Vice President Stephen Miller were also in attendance. Pierce gave a few comments

into the NTHF this year and the only teacher from the West Coast. In addition, she is also only the fourth teacher from Washington to be inducted since the NTHF started in 1989. Each of the five inductees were surprised at an assembly organized by their school district. Each district used a different strategy to pull off the surprise announcement. “Whatever it takes to keep the inductee in the dark until the announcement,” said NTHF Executive Director Carol Strickland in the LWSD release. “It’s a very special honor to be inducted, but to share that announcement with your entire school, especially when you’re the center of atten-
tion, puts a new spotlight on what it means to be a teacher.” Tennis and the other selected teachers will travel to Washington D.C. from April 29 to May 2 and to Emporia, Kan. from June 9-13 for a series of induction events. Each will also receive $1,000 for education materials. They will also receive new computer software for the classroom. Tennis said she is looking forward to her trips to learn from the other educators and bring that knowledge back to Redmond with her. “I live and breathe education,” she said. “I would choose nothing else.”
half the story, because at the end of the day, it’s all about people helping other people,” Thomas said. “We live in a very generous, bountiful, compassionate community and we want to be sure that we are giving (everyone) the opportunity to use those services and to not go away either hungry or homeless or in need. So that’s why we’re here. And that’s why this report matters and that’s why you all matter.” Altimore added: “We help (clients) achieve stability because that is the foundation on which everything else is built. We’re helping them have the resilience that they need, we’re helping them become employable and we’re helping them make sure that they know how to handle the resources that they have, that they have the same amount going out as they have coming in … and that we’re helping them increase that amount over time.” Out of five Hopelink northeast King County service centers in 2014, the Kirkland/ Northshore center served 8,065 clients, the Bellevue center served 5,598 clients, the Redmond center served 3,928 clients, the Shoreline center served 3,178 clients and the Sno-Valley center served 1,755 clients. Presently, Hopelink has five housing centers in Redmond (Avondale Park, 61 units), Bellevue (Hopelink Place, 20 units), Bothell (Heritage Park, 15 units), Kenmore
(Kenmore Family Shelter, nine units) and Duvall (Duvall Place, eight units). “I think the report is very important because it’s an accountability to the community for the work that Hopelink’s doing,” said Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen, who attended the meeting. “Hopelink is supported in a lot of ways by our community with donors, their board members’ activities and cities contribute, so it’s good to have solid numbers showing that that investment is paying off. I think that whole idea of getting people ready for employment, all of the programs that they have that are setting people in motion towards their future is really impressive.” Redmond City Council member Byron Shutz also attended the Hopelink meeting and said that he was surprised that 60 percent of Hopelink’s clients sit at the $30,000 median income level. Lack of affordable housing stands in the way, he said. “We need to obviously have a stronger economy, more jobs. But on the Eastside, affordable housing is a fundamental underlying issue and that goes along with our land-use policies over the last 50 years, spreading things out, creating infrastructure that it can’t really afford and then also drives up the price of land and price of housing.”

Free days are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass, a $30 annual or $10 one-day permit required on recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 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. Discover Pass is required to access WDFW and DNR Lands on State Parks free days.

SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER
Tesla STEM students earn cash in Lexus Eco Challenge Five high school juniors from Tesla STEM High School recently won $25,000 in the Lexus Eco Challenge. Sonia Murthy, Dinesh Parimi, Udit Ranasaria, Sophia Tevosyan and Vibha Vadlamani are one of four first-place high school

can use to help them prepare for the reading process: Sing, talk and read to your child from infancy on Play word games with your child.
