Paul and Susan Gorman have been living on Ames Lake in unincorporated King County near Redmond for about 23 years. Living in such close proximity to the water, the couple decided to build a float to use on the lake in 2002. They built it with the intention of installing an engine on the watercraft so they could take it out on the

water in the early afternoons, when the side of the lake their home is located on would become shaded. When they built the structure, the Gormans did not realize they needed permits to do so. Paul said one of their neighbors reported them to the county that same year for having an illegal float. According to the King County website, [ more GORMANS page 8 ]

Union Shares files lawsuit against city and county over easement SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Union Shares LLC, a local property owner, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Redmond and King County, claiming the city and county have caused massive flooding of the Union Shares’ property. This is a countersuit to a lawsuit the city has filed against Union Shares in seeking to condemn an easement across the property south of Perrigo Park along l96th Avenue Northeast. Charlie Klinge of Stephens & Klinge LLP, the law firm representing Union Shares, said the city wants to condemn that roughly 40-acre piece of land in order to relocate Evans Creek onto the Union Shares property, which is located just outside of city limits in unincorporated King County. “It’s really dramatic to move this creek hundreds of feet,” he said. Klinge called this proposed relocation an improper use of condemnation because the only

time it is allowed is when it would be for public use. Contrarily, he claimed, the condemnation would be for private use and this is why Union Shares has filed its lawsuit. Klinge said this is why Union Shares is objecting to the city’s plans. Lisa Rhodes, communications manager for the City of Redmond, said the city cannot speak on the matter at this time. She was able to share that the city received the lawsuit information from Union Shares last week. At the time, city attorney Jim Haney was out of the office. Rhodes said Haney returned on Monday and is currently working with city staff to gather information to file their formal response. “Until that response is filed, the only other comment I can share is that the city vehemently disputes the claims, that they are without merit, and we will demonstrate that in court,” Rhodes said. In a press release issued by Stephens & Klinge, [ more LAWSUIT page 6 ]

Volynsky tackles coast-to-coast fundraising cycling journey Redmond resident rides 3,448 miles to support the American Heart Association SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

After more than a month of cycling, Vlad Volynsky finally made it to Revere, Mass. on Wednesday. On May 16, the 47-year-old Redmond resident took off from Westport, Wash. on a solo coast-to-coast

bike ride to support the American Heart Association. Volynsky, who works as an infrastructure specialist at Microsoft Corp., rode to raise money and awareness for heart disease. He said his family has a history of cardiovascular issues and he also has friends and co-workers who have dealt with similar health problems. “It was a no-brainer for me,” Volynsky said about which cause he would support on his cross-country bike ride. Volynsky’s goal has been to raise $10,000 for the American Heart Association. So far he has raised

$3,675. He said he will continue to collect donations even though he has completed the ride. To donate to his cause, visit www. vladvolynsky.com. To learn more about his ride, visit www.facebook. com/C2CVladVolynsky. According to his son Eli Volynsky, it has been Vlad’s dream to ride his bike across the country for several years. Eli said his father has been preparing for about eight years, riding his bike to work, participating in local long-distance rides such as the annual Seattle to Portland and Ride from Seattle to Vancouver, B.C. rides.

Guitar Center rocks into town, strums up more visitors to Redmond Town Center is a powerful, positive force in people’s lives,” Stejer said. “And anything I can do to put that guitar in that kid’s hands or expose them to something different that changes their life… no paycheck, no other perk of the job is quite anything like that feeling you get when that moment is experienced.” Guitar Center Redmond is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Guitar Center has plugged in, turned its knobs up to 11 and rocked into Redmond. Yesterday, the Westlake Village, Calif.-based Mecca for guitar heroes looking to get their four- and six-string fixes opened its 269th store location in the United States at Redmond Town Center (RTC). The 15,000-square-foot store, which is located at 7430 164th Ave. N.E., Suite B205, features knowledgeable staff members and modern showrooms equipped with the latest guitars, amplifiers, percussion instruments and keyboards along with live sound, DJ, lighting and recording equipment. Nick Stejer will step up to the mic as Redmond Guitar Center’s manager. He’s worked for the company for five years at stores in Spokane, Kirkland and Eugene, Ore. The 28-year-old musician said Guitar Center is known as the “happening place to be.” “It’s awesome. Guitar Center has been the most fun job I’ve ever had in my life. This moment right now, building this new store kind of feels like a culmination of all the hard work and effort I’ve put in over the last five

MUSIC TO RTC’S EARS

Redmond Guitar Center manager Nick Stejer stands in front of a wall of Gibsons on Wednesday afternoon. The store held its grand opening on Thursday. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter years of working for this company,” he said. At the age of 9 or 10, Stejer remembers accompanying his dad to a music store in Spokane and getting his first guitar — an Ibanez Stage Star. “The day I pulled it out of the box, I was in love with it. I couldn’t put it down,” said Stejer, adding that the guitar is still around, residing at his brother’s house. Over the years, the guitar/synthesizer player has graced the stage in bands, ranging from rock to hip-hop outfits.

Guitar Center hit the scene in 1959 and also offers instrument repair and tune-up services, lessons, rentals, free introductory instruction and recording workshops and educational and inspirational events like Singer-Songwriter, DrumOff, Your Next Record, Get Out of the Garage and more. Also on the Guitar Center set list, is “endless aisle,” where customers can combine in-store, online and phone options to purchase music equipment from anywhere.

Stejer said that lessons are a key element to Guitar Center’s business and they take special care in hiring high-quality instructors who are known in the music community. It’s the interaction between the Guitar Center employees and customers that brings a smile to Stejer’s face and has him clenching his hands into victory fists. Music has had a profound effect on his life ever since he walked into that music store with dad. “Music, I firmly believe,

RTC Marketing Manager Jessica Morgan said that both RTC and the City of Redmond win in the Guitar Center scenario. “I think it kind of establishes us as a destination,” she said. “We have the restaurants and the movie theater and the hotel and fitness facilities, and adding the musical aspect — with lessons — kind of just adds one more reason for people to spend time here.” Music is in Redmond’s lifeblood with the Old Fire House Teen Center hosting concerts since 1992, Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney (and “Portlandia” fame) an Overlake School alumna and a major concert series at Marymoor Park. RTC and the Redmond Senior Center will also offer concerts this

summer. RTC’s series will take place July 16, 23 and 30 and Guitar Center will be on board as one of its sponsors and also provide sound equipment. When the concerts begin, Northeast 74th Street will have been transformed into a pedestrian pavilion with no more cars running near the Center Court area, where the concerts — also sponsored by Click 98.9 FM — will take place. “It’s kind of a nice way to invite people to come in and enjoy the space,” said Morgan, noting that the bands will be family friendly and there will be beer garden and food. With Guitar Center moving into the former Eddie Bauer second-story location, Morgan said RTC is thriving. “With the economy being so strong right now, I think we’re seeing a reflection of that leasing-wise. Our leasing department is extremely busy doing walk-throughs and proposals,” Morgan said. New tenants opening this summer include Giggle Jungle, Organgetheory Fitness, Premier Periodontics and more. “People are expanding and renewing, so the momentum is good,” Morgan said.

United Nations: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal As a coordinating lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report cited by Roger Clarke-Johnson’s June 12 rebuttal of Mark Vossler’s comments on climate change, I am troubled by Mr. Clarke-Johnson’s characterization of the report and those that express genuine concern for our planet. He failed to mention that the very first overarching conclusion of the report is that “warming of the climate system is unequivocal,” meaning the changes are a scientific fact not a belief. The second conclusion is that “each of the last 3 decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade.” Furthermore, the report states with 95 percent confidence that human activity, primarily burning of fossil fuels, is the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. There are two points to consider with respect to the slowing of the global surface temperature mentioned in the rebuttal. First, we all know that there is a lot of natural variability in temperatures. That variability still occurs even as heat trapping greenhouse gases continue to accumulate. At times that natural variability can work to slow the surface air temperature warming caused by human activities. At other times, however, the natural variability can work to speed up the long-term trend. Don’t let a period of slow warming lull you into thinking that the longterm warming is not really happening. Second, we tend to focus on surface air temperature because that is the most obvious thing we notice when we walk outside. However, warming air only accounts for about 1 percent of the heat accumulation from rising greenhouse gases. About 3 percent goes into melting ice in the glaciers and Polar Regions, about 3 percent goes into warming land and about 93 percent goes into warming the ocean. It is true that warming air temperatures have been variable with strong warming at times and slower warming at other times, but when we look at all the pieces the relentless accumulation of heat in the Earth has continued without fail.

‘What my Father means to me’ Recently my 10-year-old daughter, Chanelle, was asked by her fourth-grade teacher to write an essay on “What my Father means to me.” She became sad and full of tears. The teacher questioned her, only to find out the real sadness in her was about being fatherless. Chanelle remembered what God’s word says in Psalm 68:5, “A Father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in His Holy habitation.” Being educated in God’s word, since birth, this is the essay that flowed out of her heart and onto the paper: My Father is a lot different from all the other fathers in the whole world. He isn’t an earthly father. He is my Heavenly Father. His name is Jesus Christ. My Father is always there for me, even in times of trouble. He loves everyone, even though we are all sinners. He will never turn people down. He only builds you up in good things. He is the best Father because He never gives you a spanking for misbehaving. He just

says, “I love you!” My father gives us the choice to believe in Him or not. He doesn’t force you to believe in Him. I choose to believe in Him because He loves and cares for me. He died on the cross for all our sins and He forgives us for all of them. He helps us in everything we do. If you are sick or in pain, just ask Him to heal you and He will. Jesus loves you. He even loves you when you do something really bad. This is an example of being brought up in God’s word daily, in school and at home, instead of relying on counseling, prescription drugs, or worse yet, alcohol! In Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace.” Chanelle and I know Jesus Christ is the son of God, our Savior, Comforter and more. He is the answer to all problems. She has peace and understanding that God is her Father and Jesus is her Savior as the Holy Spirit has revealed it to her. Religion can’t claim that kind of relationship with Jesus Christ, but true Christianity can. I’m very blessed to have been given such a wonderful gift from God, and without her in my life, God would never have found me.

Take pride in Redmond, support the levies We as Redmond residents take pride in Redmond being voted among the best cities in the United States, according to Livability.com. Factors cited in conferring this honor to Redmond include employment, high quality of schools, low crime rate and good health care, among others. Other major factors include picturesque neighborhoods, diversity of cultures among its residents, pleasing public art and magnificent parks and trails. While it is not easy to pinpoint precisely the relative importance of each of these factors, it is clear that all of them are determinants of Redmond’s high rank among cities of its size in the U.S. When I travel to and stay in other cities in the U.S., the contrast is palpable, and Redmond is a great city to come back home to! At the hub of all these factors is a well-run government, which is responsible in its undertakings and responsive to the needs and aspirations of the community.

The proposed levies address several of the factors contributing to high quality of life in Redmond that require maintenance and improvement. I view the levies as a package that calls for investment by the community in the services and facilities that are offered for its own benefit. I recommend to everyone to study the content about the levies on the city’s website (www.redmond.gov) and support them, bearing in mind that they address critical aspects that make this city among the best in the country.

Latha Sambamurti, Redmond

Strong proponent of the levies I wanted to add my support for Redmond’s Proposition 1 and 2 on the August ballot. As a local resident who benefits from the Redmond parks and trails system, I think it’s important to invest in the long-term planning and maintenance of these wonderful amenities. I’ve lived in other parts of the country and find that Redmond’s focus on the parks and trails system help make Redmond a great place to live, work and play. But like any area that is seeing population growth, I am concerned about the rise in crime and want to ensure that Redmond has the ability to keep our residents safe. As a volunteer for the City of Redmond, I am a strong proponent of the levies, as they will enable our city leaders to fund the needed programs in support of our parks and trails and for our public safety organizations. I encourage all residents to closely review the levies’ content on the www.redmond.gov website as I think many people will realize that the levies are a small investment that will deliver increased results immediately, and in the future.

Dairy farmers approach Fred Meyer, QFC to hold summer food drives

Kitsap has recently received NATIONAL DESIGNATION AS THE FIRST SALT WATER TRAIL IN THE U.S.

grocery chains Fred Meyer and QFC to hold a food drive throughout the month of June at all of the companies’ store locations in both states — including in Redmond. Zach Stratton, philanthropy coordinator for Fred Meyer, said this is the third year for the Northwest Farmers Fighting Hunger food drive. In their

first year, Stratton said they collected about 14,500 pounds between the two states. Last year, he said, the two states collected about 80,000 pounds of food. He added that they have a formula to convert the cash collected into pounds of food, as well. “We’re always amazed and blown away by how [ more FOOD page 6 ]

While summer may be a time for fun in the sun and vacations for many kids, for those who are on free or reduced breakfast or lunch, it may mean a time when they no longer have access to what might be the only hot meal of their days. According to Food Lifeline — an organization that works with the food industry and its surpluses to come up with creative solutions to stopping hunger, including redirecting good food from manufacturers, farmers, grocery stores and restaurants that might otherwise go to waste — there are about 485,000 kids in Washington who receive free or reduced meals at school. During the summer, about

46,000 of those kids are in replacement programs such as daycares that provide meals for them. That leaves about 439,000 kids who are going without meals in the summer. In addition, Mark Coleman, director of marketing and communications for Food Lifeline, said donations at food banks also decline in the summer as people don’t realize the need is actually on the rise during this time of the year. He said most people recognize the holidays as a great time of need, but not the summer. Some people who have recognized this need are the dairy farmers in Washington and Oregon, who got together to do their part in helping feed these kids. The farmers approached

Union Shares owner Gordon Hoenig stated, “It is completely unfair, undemocratic, and unconstitutional to take Union Shares’ private property located outside the city limits for the express purpose of creating a massive windfall of profits to the property owners inside the city limits, and also to generate a huge increase in city tax revenues.” Klinge said prior to the lawsuits, the city had been discussing its plans

To qualify for the residency program each student spent five months studying a University of Washington (UW) and NASA-designed online curriculum and have been selected based on their academic performance in these lessons. Through a special partnership with UW, WAS students were able to register to earn five college credits based on completion of the WAS curriculum. to relocate Evans Creek since about 2012. He said the Union Shares owners have offered to sell the property to the city but they did not receive any offers for what they considered a fair value. The Union Shares lawsuit also states that Evans Creek is a shoreline of the state, which Klinge said means it should be taken care of and maintained where it is — not moved. The creek could only be relocated — if at all — after amending both the city’s and county’s

generous our customers are,” Stratton said, adding that this year’s food drive is set to bring in even more food than last year. “We’re excited to finish strong this year.” In Western Washington, the food and cash donations will go to Food Lifeline. Coleman said Food Lifeline takes the food it receives and sorts it into manageable packages, which are then distributed to more than 275 food banks in the greater Puget Sound area. He said

the donations — food and cash — from this month’s food drive will go toward the Food Lifeline general fund and food supply. That way, Coleman said, they can split the food and money among local food banks and Food Lifeline’s Kids Cafe program. According to the Food Lifeline website, Kids Cafe brings nutritious meals and snacks to high-need communities, where more than half the students qualify for free and reduced lunches at school.

“Kids Cafe meals and snacks are specifically selected to appeal to (kids’) notoriously picky palates and to meet their special nutritional guidelines,” the website states. In addition, the program also works to instill healthy eating habits and provides monthly nutritional education that is also fun for kids. “It’s a really remarkable program,” Coleman said. All Fred Meyer and QFC locations in Redmond — as well as throughout Washington — are currently collecting

food and cash donations through Tuesday. Stratton said people can donate non-perishable food and cash in person at the stores. They can also donate money online at nwfarmersfightinghun ger.org. On the website, people can select which food bank to donate to. Redmond’s Fred Meyer is located at 17667 N.E. 76th St. Redmond QFC locations are at 8867 161st Ave. N.E. and 15800 Redmond Way. There is a QFC on Redmond Ridge at 23475 N.E. Novelty Hill Road.

shoreline master programs. This would take a months- or years-long public process and “affirmative special approval by the State Department of Ecology,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit continues, stating that Redmond’s shoreline master program designates Evans Creek through the industrial area as a Natural Environment. In addition, according to the lawsuit, the creek is home to Chinook, coho and sockeye salmon species. With the Chinook

listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act, Evans Creek’s Natural Environment designation means it is a “critical natural resource system (through the industrial area) which mandates protection.” “The city can’t relocate Evans Creek consistent with this state and city approved legislation — Evans Creek through the industrial area shall be preserved and restored,” the lawsuit continues. In addition to attacking the city’s condemnation,

the Union Shares lawsuit is also seeking damages against the city and King County “for causing the flooding of Union Shares’ property,” the Stephens & Klinge release states. According to the release, in 2000, the city wanted to build the trail over the Union Shares property that now connects Perrigo Park to Martin Park to the south. Union Shares voluntarily agreed to this, subject to protections promised by the city. The city, the release states, signed a

binding contract with Union Shares in which the city promised “not to oppose development of the Union Shares’ property and also promised not to cause any new environmental restrictions on the property.” “Union Shares alleges that the city has breached its promises repeatedly by objecting to development of the site and by causing the property to become flooded and unusable due to new restrictions,” the release states.

Banner Bank issues warning of phone scam Addressing recent, wide-spread phishing phone scam attempts in the northwest, Banner Bank — which has one Redmond location — continues to receive reports of fraudulent phone calls to both clients and nonclients regarding their debit and credit cards. The robo-calls are not from Banner Bank. These fraudulent calls, which may appear to originate from the bank, alert the recipient that their “Banner Bank card has been compromised” and to “press one to speak with an operator.” At this point, the fraudsters ask for card information. “These robo-calls are part of a phishing scam

attempting to obtain bank account and personal information,” said Dianne Larsen, senior vice president at Banner Bank. “Banner Bank has not been compromised and these calls are not from Banner Bank. Banner never asks for clients’ personal or account information by phone, email or text message, and advises to never provide personally identifiable information via the phone, text message or email.” Banner Bank has alerted the proper authorities of the fraudulent robo-calls. The following security tips from Banner Bank will help protect personal information: Never give personal or account information to anybody over the phone, by text message or email; especially Social Security numbers, account num-

Beware of phishing emails—these emails look like they are from a bank or other reputable companies and provide a link to verify or change an account in some way. DO NOT CLICK on the provided link. Beware of suspicious text messages requesting account information via a mobile device (e.g., cell phone, smartphone, tablet). Keep passwords secret, do not share passwords, do not leave passwords in an unsecured area, and change passwords regularly.

All of those have helped him prepare for the 3,448 miles from the West Coast to the East Coast — the longest ride Vlad has ever done. “It really inspires me,” Eli said. “There’s no way I would be able to do anything close to what (he did).” Vlad’s goal was to arrive in Revere by June 30, but finished almost a week early. “Everything came together,” he said about the ride, describing it as fairly smooth. Vlad’s ride took him through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New

York, Vermont and finally Massachusetts. He said out of all the states he saw, his favorites were Idaho and Montana. He said both states were beautiful to ride through and “breath taking.” “It was a wonderful experience,” Vlad said about the ride as a whole. At night, he was able to stay in motels, which really helped him complete the ride as he was able to rest up for the following day. Vlad rode for 40 days straight with no breaks — about 100 miles a day, but up to 175 miles — and said he would not have been able to do that if he were not able to get enough sleep. Eli said his father got hooked on cycling when

Eli was 12 and invited Vlad on a bike ride with his friends. Since then, Eli said Vlad rarely uses a car. Their car is nine years old and it only has about 60,000 miles on it — half of which are from Eli driving. Vlad rides anywhere and everywhere — no matter what the weather is like. “He bikes when it’s freezing outside,” Eli said. With Vlad finishing up his ride this week, Eli and his sister flew to the Old Colony State to surprise their father when he reached Revere. “It was a major surprise,” Vlad said about seeing his family at the end of his ride. “It’s the best feeling in the world.”

The DPER report stated that the complaint was received Jan. 11, 2006 for “construction of an addition/ remodel to a daylight basement, dock, and steps that lead down to Ames Lake without the required permits and inspections.” The Gormans received a violation letter and there was a site inspection on Feb. 3, 2006. The inspection showed that, “no structural work was done and the complaint…was cleared.” The documents also acknowledged the Gormans licensing the structure as a vessel: “The (Gormans) disputed the need for permits for the dock, stating that because it was modified into a boat it was not subject to King County regulation.” The county disagreed, still viewing the watercraft as a float, thus requiring permits, the report states. The Gormans decided to appeal King County’s decision to a hearing examiner, but the case was put on hold as Paul said the county was rewriting areas of an ordinance

That ordinance went into effect at the end of 2014 and the Gormans are back to appealing the case. “We were using it as a boat,” Paul said about what they did with the watercraft between 2006 and now.

gered over a property dispute with the Gormans…the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the fact that the Gormans’ handmade boat is used as a boat.” Paul said in their appeal, they address four issues: whether the county has jurisdiction to regulate an object that has been documented as a vessel by the state; how the object is being used; whether the county has the authority to require permit applications and approvals for replacing the use of an object; and whether the object in question complies with the county’s current code requirements. While this issue only directly affects the Gormans, they said they are worried that if the county can require them to apply for certain permits for their boat, they might require others, as well, after this. The Gormans’ hearing for their appeal was Thursday. Susan said there was two and a half hours of presentations, questions and testimonies. “The hearing examiner will deliberate and issue her decision in seven to 10 days,” she said. Paul said if they lose their appeal, they will take the case to King County Superior Court.

a float is “a structure or device which is not a breakwater and which is moored, anchored, or otherwise secured in the waters of King County and which is not connected to the shoreline.” Basically, Paul said, a float is a structure that is stationary in the water. After learning about the reporting, he said they went to the county to apply for the correct permits. They spent about $1,600 on the application process, only to be denied

a permit because King County determined the density of the lake — meaning the amount of residents living around the lake — was too low to allow for new float permits. “It didn’t make sense to us,” Paul said. According a staff report from the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) regarding the case, the permit was denied because “docks were not allowed on Ames Lake under the shorelines code in effect at the time…The (Gormans)

Microsoft contributes $40 million for Global Innovation Exchange BRANDON MACZ bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

The University of Washington has partnered with a Chinese research university to create a graduate institute in Bellevue’s Spring District — with $40 million in foundational backing from Microsoft Corp. — that will host international students and faculty set on finding global solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems. A leader in advancing science and technology in China, Tsinghua University President Qiu Yong said

Microsoft has contributed $40 million to the new Global Innovation Exchange, a partnership between the University of Washington and China’s Tsinghua University. It is slated to open in Bellevue in fall 2016. Courtesy graphic during a June 18 Global Innovation Exchange (GIX) announcement the institute is the first overseas platform for the research university.

GIX is slated to open in fall 2016, the first phase of construction calling for a 100,000-square-foot campus. Its first program will only include about 40 students, said interim UW President Ana Mari Cauce, but enrollment is expected to hit 3,000 by 2025. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “Who knows where it will go?” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the company’s $40 million in foundational

This is the sixth year that the American Legion Post 161 has supported the teens in Redmond, honoring them for their community service achievements.

hy don’t victims just leave?” Those of us who work at domestic violence programs hear this question all the time. The truth is, they do. Every day we hear from survivors of abuse who were able to find the support and resources they needed to be safe and self-sufficient. Every day we also hear from people who are unable to leave because they fear the abuser will be more violent if they do. This fear is very real. According to the Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review, in at least 55% of homicides by abusers, the victim had left or was trying to leave. Many people are unable to leave an abusive relationship because they have nowhere to go. Our communities don’t have enough affordable housing, and shelters and transitional housing units are limited. On just one day last year, domestic violence programs in Washington could not meet 267 requests for housing. People often stay with or return to an abusive partner because they don’t have the money to support themselves or their children. We also hear from people who don’t want to leave, but want the abuse to stop. Research consistently shows that people in an abusive relationship make repeated efforts to be safe and self-sufficient, but there are many barriers— both external, such as limited resources or support; and internal, such as an emotional connection to their partner or a desire for their children to be with both parents— that makes this very difficult. But here’s the thing: This is absolutely the wrong question to be asking, as it implies that victims are responsible for ending violence. They aren’t. Instead, we should be asking what we can do to stop abusers from being violent and controlling. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

ATHLETE OFMONTH

American University senior Adelaide Tillinghast won the Division II Individual Time Trial at the 2015 USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships last month in Asheville, N.C. Tillinghast clinched her first national championship in the last race of her collegiate racing career. “I wanted to leave college with a winner’s jersey and gold medal and I made my last chance count,” said Tillinghast, a Bear Creek School alumna. Tillinghast finished with a time of 32:05.66, nearly five seconds faster than the silver medalist.

The win caps an impressive collegiate career for Tillinghast as she finished second in the road race and third in the time trial in last year’s national championship while also finishing second in the time trial as a sophomore. Battling back from broken arms and a concussion sustained in two separate accidents that kept her off the bike for autumn training, Tillinghast won 10 of 14 conference races this season. Tillinghast started bicycle racing during her freshman year at American University (Washington, D.C.) after a back injury forced her to give up cross country

BRIEFS

During the event, local “ham” radio operators will be contacting as many stations as possible across the United States and Canada that are also participating in the event. The local club will be operating “in the field” utilizing emergency power sources, antennas and equipment set up to simulate communication operations that might need to be implemented to support public safety, local governments and the community during an emergency or disaster situation. The event will test both the emergency capabilities as well as the skills of the operators. Founded in 1914 by Hiram Percy Maxim, ARRL is the national association for amateur radio in the U.S. Today, with more than 161,000 members, ARRL is the largest organization of radio amateurs in the world.
