‘No’ votes lead ‘yes’ votes in early proposition results SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
King County Elections posted its latest round of primary results at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday. At the Reporter’s press time, Redmond’s Proposition 1 had a “no” percentage of 53.06 (3,514 votes) and
a “yes” percentage of 46.94 (3,109 votes). Proposition 2 had a “no” percentage of 54.11 (3,589 votes) and a “yes” percentage of 45.89 (3,044 votes). Both propositions need a simple majority to pass. A percentage of 23.78 of the ballots had been
counted: 6,675 out of 28,075 registered voters. Proposition 1 addresses public safety, infrastructure and walkability. If passed, the measure would cost about $18.13 million over the course of six years — just a bit more than $3 million per year.
Under the public safety umbrella, Proposition 1 would go toward maintaining services provided by the city’s 2007 levy measure. A large part of that levy funded for 17 new police personnel to support police operations and programs, including school resource
officers (SROs) in local schools. In addition, Proposition 1 would continue to pay for the 18 firefighters for Fire Station 12 in Overlake and Fire Station 17 in north Redmond who were also hired through the 2007 levy. If passed, Proposition 1
would also fund five new employees for the Redmond Police Department (RPD), including two neighborhood resource officers (NROs), two new officers to focus on property crime investigating and a new fulltime evidence technician. [ more PROPS page 7 ]

Costco Wholesale purchases land in Redmond for $16 million ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Costco Wholesale Corporation has purchased 15.39 acres of land south of Union Hill Road in Redmond for $16 million, according to King County records stamped July 31. On July 27, Paul J. Taylor of Taylor Union Hill, LLC and
J. Michael Magnussen Jr. of Magnussen-Cadman, LLC signed a specialty warranty deed as grantors. The future site of the Costco warehouse will be on the two parcels of land on the corner of Northeast 76th Street and 188th Avenue Northeast. A Costco spokesperson said the company’s policy is to not
comment on specific locations, so a possible opening date is not known at this time. In a Sept. 8, 2009 Reporter story, Mayor John Marchione confirmed that Costco planned to open a store on Union Hill, but negotiations between the land owner and Costco stalled, putting the plans on hold. At that time, he declined to com-
ment further about the Costco development, but did say he was optimistic that a deal will get done. In 2015, Marchione is pleased to see Costco’s investment in the city. “Our vibrant economy, strong sense of community and keen [ more COSTCO page 3 ]
Redmond police officers arrested a 20-year-old Renton male at his residence Wednesday for investigation of child molestation charges at the La Petite Academy in Redmond. The suspect was booked into King County Jail and the man hadn’t been charged as of the Reporter’s deadline. According to Redmond Police Department (RPD) public information officer Becky Range, on July 15, a staff member at the academy, located at 8675 161st Ave. N.E., notified police that a family reported child molestation allegations involving a staff member and a 5-year-old child. The academy immediately put the staff member on administrative leave. Range said students’ parents were notified of the incident last week. Range visited with staff members on Wednesday and said that everyone is concerned for the children and their families. Staff members believe there is only one victim, and they have been cooperative with detectives and social agencies during the investigation, Range added. Lydia Cisaruk, La Petite Academy’s director of communication, said: “We take our responsibility as caregivers very seriously. We’re working closely with the regulatory agencies to assist their investigation until this matter is resolved. “We have strict policies and procedures to ensure we’re providing the highest level of care, and we do not tolerate any deviation from these standards. Our focus remains on providing a safe and nurturing learning environment for the children in our care.” [ more ARREST page 3 ]

Redmond’s Kulkarni gains confidence competing in teen pageants SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Redmond’s Karisma Nori Kulkarni has become empowered by competing in teen pageants. Courtesy of Crown Photos
With college quickly approaching her horizons, Karisma Nori Kulkarni needed to find a way to pay for her posthigh school education. One way she has discovered is pageants, which provide contestants with opportunities to win college scholarships. The first pageant Kulkarni, who will be a senior this fall at Tesla STEM High School, participated in was the Miss Teen Achieve Pageant in May. She was representing Washington and was competing against about a dozen other girls. According to its website, the pageant is “dedicated to developing self-esteem, interviewing skills and talent presentation skills among teen women” and rewards “academic excellence, community leadership and exceptional talent with scholarships.”

Kulkarni, who is 17 and splits her time between parents’ homes on Redmond Ridge and Education Hill, said participating in the pageant was cool because she got to meet other girls who were also high achievers academically, adding that Miss Teen Achieve gives out scholarships for categories such as highest grade-point average and women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). It was during this pageant that Kulkarni was named Miss Teen Achieve Ambassador Queen. She said this was a title voted on by the other contestants. “It was empowering,” she said. Kulkarni added that she was grateful to receive the honor as well as surprised. She said she did not realize the impact she had on the other girls was enough for them to vote for her. The second pageant Kulkarni participated in was the Miss Teen United Continents (MTUC) pageant in July in Houston. And like with the Teen Achieve pageant, Kulkarni represented Washington in the pageant. She was the second runnerup and was named Miss Congeniality. This pageant was created by Gaspar Cruz. “I liked his motto: ‘Be your own kind of beautiful,’” Kulkarni said about Cruz. Kulkarni’s mother,
Vanisha Nori-Cook, admitted that she initially felt apprehensive about the potential downsides of pageants but has since realized that “pageantry has come a long way with greater emphasis placed on empowerment of the individual, versus their physical statistics.” “These pageants vie to celebrate beauty in diversity, build life skills, self-confidence, selfworth and support the social causes championed by the contestants,” NoriCook said. “Karisma has made lasting friendships (and so have I) across the U.S. and internationally.” Kulkarni said the MTUC pageant was an international one and she competed against girls from other countries, including Jamaica, Russia, South Africa, Mexico, Paraguay and Namibia. Kulkarni added that the contestant from Namibia won the whole competition. For someone who has only been out of the country once in her life (in fourth grade to visit India), meeting and getting to know people from around the world was quite the experience. “For me it was really interesting to get to learn about different cultures,” Kulkarni said. In addition to creating the MTUC pageant, Cruz also designed the gown for Nina Davuluri, who was Miss America 2014 and like Kulkarni, is Indian American. Davu-

luri was the first Indian American to win the title and for Kulkarni, this was inspiring. And while Kulkarni found Davuluri’s achievements to be an inspiration, there was some backlash when she was crowned, due to her heritage. Kulkarni said people were saying Davuluri couldn’t be Miss America because she was Indian, not American, and that was ridiculous because Davuluri is American (she was born in Syracuse, N.Y.). The teen said the United States is a melting pot and just because someone does not look like you, does not mean they are not American. Kulkarni added that Davuluri in addition to her title, received a $50,000 scholarship and wants to be a doctor. “Like me,” Kulkarni said. Specifically, Kulkarni wants to be a pediatrician. Currently, she volunteers at Kindering in Bellevue, working with children with disabilities. She also works at an orthodontist’s office in Bellevue. Outside of her volunteer work and her job, Kulkarni enjoys being outside. She likes to row (she’s a member of the lightweight competitive experienced girls team for the Sammamish Rowing Association), hiking and just recently discovered rock climbing.

Police Blotter The police blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical roundup of all calls to the Redmond Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Redmond Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Redmond, which gets more than 500 calls (emergency and nonemergency) per week.

portation because of traffic concerns over the congested intersection. Reporter readers have voiced their opinions about Costco setting up shop in Redmond on Facebook this week, with three comments noting: “That will make traffic better (upset emoticon),” “Hmm… big footprint on our suburb” and “A lot of extra traffic coming through or past family/residential living, too. As with the first time around. I’m not really sure this is the most ideal location...though admittedly I’m not sure where else you’d site a Costco in Redmond.” According to its website, La Petite Academy is an educational day care where staff members motivate children to develop an interest and excel in academics and technology while building positive character traits.

Voicing your opinion and voting is the way to go For the last month or so, Redmond citizens voiced their opinions on the city’s two propositions and voted in the primary election. King County Elections began tallying votes on Tuesday, and at press time, Proposition 1 had a “no” percentage of 53.06 and a “yes” percentage of 46.94; at Proposition 2, there was a “no” percentage of 54.11 and a “yes” percentage of 45.89. There are plenty of ballots still to be tallied and results will be certified at 4 p.m. Aug. 18. We at the Reporter received 23 letters on the propositions, which addressed public safety, infrastructure and walkability, and parks maintenance and capital projects. Residents also chipped in with their “yes” and “no” viewpoints on our website and Facebook page. That’s what it’s all about: Having a say on what’s going on in your community and sharing the “podium,” so to speak, with your fellow citizens. Current and former Redmond City Council members chipped in, as did a former Redmond mayor and a host of readers, all of whom are Andy Nystrom

outspoken about what goes on in their city. Issues discussed were questioning tax hikes and city expenditures, setting the record straight on the city’s finances, appreciating the city’s parks and being on board with improvements, and speaking up and casting your votes to decide what happens in Redmond. One reader wondered why the Reporter had a “no” letter at the top of the online feed at one
point. I can assure you that there were “yes” letters in the front spot at different times, as well, because we gave equal say to all letter writers. And now you’ve voted and we’ll receive the final certified results soon. We’ll see what happens and will inform you on the next step in the proposition process. Thanks for writing and caring.

Spending summer break volunteering for Fields
Chipping in on the climate-change discussion
On July 11, not even the occasional sprinkle of rain could dampen the excitement of those gathered for the Derby Days Grand Parade — and I was happy to be among them! Talk about a good, old-fashioned campaign team: a large, excited crowd of people marching in support for Steve Fields’ campaign for mayor of Redmond (how often do you see that?). Derby Days is an absolute blast whether you’re watching the parade or you’re in it. The last time I participated in the parade, I was a little kid riding my bike in the Kids Parade. Now, as a soon-to-be sophomore studying politics at Gonzaga University, I couldn’t stop smiling as I marched alongside Fields. I’ve lived in Redmond nearly 19 years and been involved with the community in many ways; I’ve seen it develop downtown while our neighborhoods seem to be going downhill fast. I’ve had the chance to go door-to-door with Fields’ campaign and talk with voters, and a surprising number of folks tell us they feel like they are getting squeezed out of their own city. That’s why I’m thrilled that Fields is stepping up to offer a change from the status quo. Fields is running to make Redmond a place where its citizens can enjoy all that it has to offer. Redmond folks are ready for a new voice and a new leader. I know I am. That’s why instead of spending my summer break relaxing and playing video games, I’m volunteering with Fields. Redmond deserves a mayor that cares about taking care of neighborhoods as well as balancing growth downtown. Redmond deserves Fields for mayor.
I keep hoping that the manufactured debate about human causes of climate change is over. However, after reading Gerald Miller’s letter to the editor “The Marxist-Progressive Church of Climate Change” (July 10, Redmond Reporter), I am again reminded that it is not. Mr. Miller argues that climate scientists lack any credibility as a result of the 2009 “Climate Gate” scandal over leaked emails. The claim that these emails showed collusion among climate scientists to manipulate or suppress data to show that carbon emissions are causing climate change has been thoroughly debunked by numerous independent inquiries. It’s not clear what Mr. Miller believes motivates climate scientists, as he says they see climate change as a “political cause” and then maintains they just want more funding to “further their own career.” As opposed to Mr. Miller’s rather contradictory conspiracy theory, climate scientists are doing just what they are supposed to do: Convey to the public that their studies show the Earth is already warming, and will continue to get warmer, due to the burning of fossil fuels. Mr. Miller is flat wrong when he says “there is no agreement as to whether warming is dangerous or not.” More than 93 percent of climate scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuels is driving climate change and that if carbon emissions continue unabated, climate change will seriously, if not catastrophically, disrupt ecosystems and human society around the world. Would Mr. Miller not seek treatment if he had health symptoms that nine out of ten doctors agreed were from a serious, if not fatal, disease? Although Mr. Miller believes that most
Alex Casanas Redmond
climate scientists are closet Marxists that are merely trying to redistribute wealth, he would be surprised that many would agree with him regarding market-based measures that can effectively reduce carbon emissions and allow renewable energy sources to be more competitive. A revenue-neutral carbon tax is one such measure that prices fossil-fuels more realistically to account for environmental and social costs and returns the revenue to the people to offset the increased cost of energy. British Columbia has had such a tax for seven years, reducing carbon emissions by 10 percent while maintaining economic growth slightly ahead of the rest of Canada. Here in Washington, Initiative-732 (currently gathering signatures) would tax carbon and offset the cost to consumers and businesses with lower sales and B&O taxes. Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) proposes national legislation for a carbon fee and dividend, where the carbon fees are returned directly to the people as a dividend. CCL’s proposal would reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent below 1990 levels, add 2.8 million jobs, and save more than 200,000 lives over 20 years. If he wants a market-based approach to cleaner energy, I suggest that Mr. Miller write his members of Congress supporting the CCL carbon fee and dividend proposal and help us out collecting signatures for I-732, rather than continue a false debate created and perpetuated by the fossil-fuel industry.

NerdWallet tags Redmond as 2nd-best small city to start a business able. And while the business owner admitted to not knowing much about Redmond initially, since she opened her business — which is focused on smallgroup fitness training — she has found she really likes being in downtown (8451 164th Ave. N.E., Suite 100). Lewallen said since Iron Tribe opened its doors in January, she has been able to meet and form relationships with other local business owners. “Just really, really nice people,” she said about them, adding that everyone really looks out for one another. Lewallen said another thing that has helped her in these early days of her business has been OneRedmond focusing on small businesses and making sure they know they bring value to the community.
BUSINESS NEWS
While Lewallen did not specifically set out to open her business in Redmond, Jason Bailey did. The owner of Prime Steakhouse (16330 Cleveland St.) had previously been part of the opening team for Matador that brought that restaurant to downtown Redmond. He said that received a good reception so when he was looking to open a restaurant, he looked at about a half dozen locations in the Redmond area. Although, he added, he and his team wanted to stay close to the downtown core. Bailey also said he chose Redmond because the city did not have a strong steak presence and thought it would be a great demographic to serve. Since Prime opened in October 2014, he said they have faced the typical ups and downs that a new business would face, and overall, business has
been good. They even have regulars now. “The reception’s been good,” he said about the Redmond community. The top city on the NerdWallet list is Alpharetta, Ga. Todd noted that the top 10 cities on the list are scattered throughout the country, but did point out that there are a few cities around the Great Lakes. “It’s a pretty broad (group of cities),” he said about the top 10 list makers. Todd said when developing the methodology for the study, they worked with NerdWallet’s small business team, coming up with two categories: the local business environment and local economic health. With the former, he said they looked at a number of factors. There was the average revenue per business; the number of companies with

hired employees, versus sole proprietorships; and businesses per 100 residents. According to the NerdWallet study, Redmond’s average revenue per business is $7.4 million (the highest in the top 10 communities and according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2007 Survey of Business Owners); 35.85 percent of local businesses have paid employees and there are 11.33 businesses per 100 people. For local economic health, Todd said they looked at the cities’ median annual household income ($96,183 for Redmond) and median housing cost ($2,354 per month for Redmond). These figures were provided by the U.S. Census Bureau for 2013, the last year with available data. NerdWallet also looked at the cities’ unemployment rate (4.4 percent in Redmond).

Redmond has been named the second-best small city to start a business. This ranking is according to a study conducted by NerdWallet.com, a website “focused on helping people lead better lives through financial education and empowerment.” Jonathan Todd, an economic writer for NerdWallet, said these originally began as statewide studies before they decided to expand it to a nationwide study. “This is the first national study we’ve done,” he said. For the national study, he said they looked at 463 small cities — with populations between 50,000 and 100,000 — from around the country. “The announcement of Redmond as one of the top two cities in the nation to start a business, reinforces the work
the city and its partners are doing to create a vibrant economy,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “Redmond is a great place for entrepreneurs to launch their ideas and for existing companies to expand their markets.” As stated in the NerdWallet study, “Redmond is home to Microsoft, which is a huge boon for entrepreneurs. According to research by economist Enrico Moretti, each job in the technology sector creates an additional five jobs in the local economy. With this kind of anchor in Redmond’s business community, entrepreneurs are likely salivating at the opportunities.” For Amy Lewallen, opening Iron Tribe Fitness in downtown Redmond was initially about just finding a space that was available and afford-

City purchases area of Keller Farm floodplain for $2.2 million SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Progress on the City of Redmond’s plan to restore the Keller Farm wetland continues as the project’s prospectus — or plan — is now officially under review. In late July, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Washington Department of Ecology issued a Joint Public Notice for the Keller Farm wetland mitigation bank proposal. This is the first step toward agency review and approval of the proposed mitigation bank under the State of Washington Wetland Mitigation Banking Rule. At the beginning of this year, the city purchased about 83 acres of floodplain on the Keller Farm for $2.2 million to facilitate environmental restoration. The area in

The City of Redmond has purchased the Keller Farm, seen here from Avondale Road Northeast in Redmond. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter question is located north and west of Bear Creek and east of Avondale Road. Since that purchase, principal planner Cathy Beam said the city has worked with a consultant — Habitat Bank LLC — to create a state-certified wetland mitigation bank on the property. Roger Dane, senior planner for the city, said this mitigation bank will allow development projects in the area to earn mitigation credits if they are unable to do the
mitigation work onsite. Beam said there is a fee set that allows developers to purchase into the project. And as a result, she said, the city will be able to recoup the money spent when they purchased the property. Beam said with 83 acres, the project is “quite an undertaking.” However, despite how big the job is, things have been going quite smoothly so far. Dane credits Habitat Bank for this and said it demonstrates the good relationship the firm has

As previously reported in the Redmond Reporter, Habitat Bank will create a wetland mitigation bank on the property as well as design, permit and install environmental enhancements on the area. According to a press release issued by the city, Habitat Bank will be responsible for site maintenance, and will maintain the site for at least 10 years after restoration work is complete to ensure the establishment of the native plants. “This action signifies
commenting period, Beam and Dane said the prospectus will undergo an extensive review process with a number of agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Ecology, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and local tribes. Basically, Beam said, any agency that has anything to do with permitting and/or water. With so many people and agencies reviewing the plan, Beam said it will take at least a year before this step in the process is complete. She added that these groups also have other plans and documents to review, so there is no telling where in their queue the Keller Farm prospectus will be. Once the prospectus is approved, a fully detailed plan will need to be developed and created. And then, she said, there will another year or so for the city to acquire the needed permits before any work can be done on the property. Beam said they estimate construction to begin around July 2017. And once the work is done, there is a bank monitoring period of 10 years to make sure it is doing what is intended. This sets project completion at 2029. [ more KELLER page 7 ]

Ananda Mela puts Indian culture on display at City Hall On July 25 and 26, more than 20,000 people attended the sixth annual Ananda Mela Joyful Festival of India. Among the main visual attractions was a display on the Indian epic Ramayana, telling the story of King Rama. Dance and music performances entertained audiences on two stages. On Saturday evening, MC Yogi from San Francisco and DJ Drez from Los Angeles teamed up to get the audience dancing with
a blend of electronic music and hip-hop with an Indian twist. Festival veterans Delhi 2 Dublin took the stage Sunday evening to give a high-energy performance of their signature fusion of Bhangra, Celtic music, dub reggae and electronica. Their concert featured several tracks from their upcoming new album, interspersed with familiar classics from earlier albums. In addition, the popular Aloha Bhangra dance contest was held during Delhi
[ PROPS from page 1] Proposition 1 would also fund infrastructure work throughout Redmond neighborhoods such as asphalt and pavement maintenance.

Other participatory events included a cooking contest, sari tying, henna and activities for children. An array of food booths tempted visitors with a wide variety of preparations, including well-known dishes from all parts of India, as well as popular items from Indo-Chinese
ings crosswalks, making them clearer for all to see. Proposition 2 — a six-year, $6.9 million levy — focuses on capital projects in the parks department and parks maintenance. On the capital side of things, the levy would go toward investing in three neighborhood parks — Southeast Redmond, Westside and Northeast Redmond parks. Proposition 2 would also pay for redoing the parking lot at Idylwood Beach Park, which is currently inadequate when it comes to accommodating the
fusion cuisine. “Ananda Mela has been steadily growing since its launch in 2010,” said Latha Sambamurti, the festival’s artistic director. “It has become the largest arts-and-culture event in Redmond and the largest Indian festival in the Northwest. Our vision is to make Ananda Mela a premier Indian event in all of the United States.” This year’s Ananda Mela received grant support from 4Culture and ExperienceRedmond.com.

number of visitors it sees each year. In addition to these larger projects, Proposition 2 would pay for smaller capital projects throughout the parks system. And just as Proposition 1 will replenish funds that came from the city’s 2007 levy. This money helped the parks department continue some teen programming as well as projects within Redmond’s forestry program. The next election results update will be today at 4:30 p.m. The results will be certified at 4 p.m. Aug. 18.
“We’re going to be in this process for a while,” Beam said. “It’s definitely a long-horizon project.” According to the city press release, the conceptual goals of the mitigation bank are to: Restore wetland hydrology and create a variety of wetland hydroperiods (seasonal patterns of ponding depth and duration); re-establish native plant species richness and structural diversity in wetlands, project buffers and riparian areas; reconnect segments of Bear and Perrigo creeks with their flood-
plains and re-establish channel complexity; increase habitat structure, function and complexity; and improve water quality in wetlands and creeks. The project also proposes to establish off-channel rearing and refuge areas for salmonids and relocate a segment of Perrigo Creek from a straightened ditch. Preservation of this portion of the Keller Farm complements a 30-acre mitigation project completed by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in 2013 (immediately east of Bear Creek).

A Redmond man and a Kirkland man were sentenced to prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle on July 20 in connection to a hash oil explosion at a Bellevue apartment in 2013. Jesse D. Kaplan, 32, of Redmond and Daniel James Strycharske, 29, of Kirkland were each sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release. Last month the lead defendant in the case, David Richard Schultz, II, 33, was sentenced to nine years in prison. Schultz was using highly explosive butane gas to make hash oil in the Hampton Greens Apartment complex on Nov. 5 while the other two apartment residents were sleeping. The gas exploded and numerous people in the apartment complex were injured
fleeing the fire. “As I emphasized when the lead defendant was sentenced, this case tragically demonstrates why BHO extraction operations are so dangerous,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes in a U.S. Department of Justice release. “Just like the meth labs we have worked so hard to eradicate, hash oil labs involve dangerous solvents and pose a serious risk of death and property damage.” One of them, a former mayor of Bellevue, died following treatment for injuries sustained while trying to escape the building. “What moves the court is the loss of life, the permanently disabling and significant injuries the people received all because they lived in an apartment building with these defendants….who undertook this incredibly reckless and dangerous activity,” said U.S. District Judge James L. Robart during the sentencing hearings. Kaplan and Strycharske rented the apartment and allowed Schultz to set up the BHO manufacturing equipment in their space, according to court documents. The

men planned to sell the BHO for profit. All three men suffered injuries in the explosion. Former Bellevue Mayor Nan Campbell was hospitalized for a broken pelvis she suffered trying to escape the flames. She later died following complications from her hospitalization. Two other apartment residents suffered shattered bones as they had to jump from their upper level apartments. In all, the fire caused more than $2 million in property damage. The total amount of restitution owed by these defendants will be finalized by a hearing scheduled for Sept. 21. The judge determined an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines was warranted for the defendants in the case because of the severe damage to the community. “I am troubled that the conduct was motivated by greed – the money that could be made by manufacturing hash oil,” Robart said in the U.S. Department of Justice release. He added that prison sentences may deter others from getting involved in butane hash oil manufacturing.
VFW National Commander John Stroud said, “The All-American commanders have obtained this honor based on their outstanding achievements in membership growth and participation in VFW programs. They are a fine example of VFW leadership. Their hard work and dedication to the mission and values of our organization has rightly earned them this great honor.”

With their boots reverberating in unison on the ground, people know the Eastside Precision Drill Team is coming their way. The Redmond-based group struts its stuff when performing at Derby Days parades and in Seattle Drill Team Association all-city and Fraternal Order of Eagles state competitions. The girls often roll out their military style formations to only the sounds of their boots and their captain calling commands, but at some events they combine drill and dance with music filling the air. It’s a solid group of 10 members — ages 7 to 18 — which took first place at the Washington State Eagles Youth Dance Drill Team championships at the end of June in Moses Lake. Coach Jennifer Wilkins
said drill team members are precise and unified in everything they do, from marching with knees high, to arm movements, to turns, to feet clacking while creating different sound patterns. In describing drill, Wilkins said you take ROTC and cheer and “you smash them together.” The independent and nonprofit Eastside Precision Drill Team — which has been in existence since 2007 — is part of the 12-squad Seattle Drill Team Association, featuring teams from Redmond, Seattle, Everett and Burien. Eastside’s members are from Redmond, Sammamish and Bothell. The coach’s daughter and second-year captain Emily Wilkins, 15, from Sammamish said she sets an example while leading the team, and part of her job is “making sure that you’re working as a team.” “Drill is a wonderful ex-

perience where you get to be with girls you know, get to march in parades and do a bunch of fun activities,” said officer Elizabeth Jie-Sarinian, 12, from Redmond. “It’s challenging at first, but if you practice and work hard, then you would reach your goals and achieve everything you can do.” Elizabeth’s twin sister Emily is also part of the team, which practices at the back of Redmond Elementary School by the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center field. Jennifer participated in drill from ages 12 to 20 in Seattle’s Ballard area and has been coaching the sport for the last 25 years. “It was just something that clicked with me,” said Jennifer, who has watched her daughter mature, gain confidence and turn into a great leader through drill.

Surf’s up: Crossfire Warriors roll to first place at San Diego tourney BRUCE AND MARIA BEACHMAN
Special to the Reporter
Achievement in youth sports often spans a local town, city or school district. Sometimes a team will shine at the regional or even state level. However, when a local team excels and wins on a national stage, it is time to take special notice. Surf Cup is an internationally renowned soccer tournament held annually in San Diego, Calif. It has been the summer showcase for youth soccer’s “best of the best” for 35 years. The Redmond-based Crossfire Select B98 Warriors never qualified for Surf Cup until this year. The tournament typically admits only the top few premier teams from each state. Having won their regional tournament the past two years, and reaching the semifinals of their national tournament the past two

Taking care of your child’s eyes in today’s digitally dependent world NewsUSA
According to the American Optometric Association’s (AOA) 2015 American Eye-Q survey, 41 percent of parents say their kids spend three or more hours per day using digital devices, and 66 percent of kids have their own smartphone or tablet. It’s clear children’s use of digital technology continues to be an integral part of their lives in both the classroom and at home, and it’s predicted that by 2028 — the year in which kids entering kindergarten this fall will graduate high school — many schools will rely heavily on computer simulations for instruction and will even incorporate virtual
worlds into curriculum. While these advances in the classroom may enhance learning, many digital devices are still relatively new, and the long-term effects on young eyes are not yet fully known. Most of today’s commonly used devices give off high-energy, short-wavelength, blue and violet light, which may affect children’s vision and even prematurely age their eyes. Early research even shows that overexposure to this blue light could contribute to eye strain and discomfort and may lead to serious conditions later in life, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which can cause blindness. The first step in taking care of children’s eyes is
for parents to schedule a comprehensive eye exam for children prior to the beginning of each school year to check eye health and vision. Children now have the benefit of annual comprehensive eye exams, thanks to the Pediatric Essential Health Benefit in the Affordable Care Act, through age 18. The AOA recommends children have an eye exam by an optometrist soon after six months of age, again at age three and annually thereafter. With so much time spent on digital devices, it is also more important than ever for parents to watch for signs of digital eye strain in children. Symptoms can include burning, itchy or tired eyes, headaches, fatigue, loss of focus, blurred
vision, double vision or head and neck pain. To protect their eyes and vision while using digital devices, parents should encourage children to take frequent
visual breaks by practicing the 20-20-20 rule: when using technology or doing near work, take a 20-second break, every 20 minutes and view something 20 feet away.
To find an optometrist in your area, or for additional information on children’s vision and the importance of back-toschool eye exams, visit aoa.org.

GOOD TO GO! INTRODUCES NEW PROGRAM TO RESOLVE CUSTOMER DISPUTES
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is changing how it resolves disputes for customers who have received a penalty for unpaid tolls. Toll violators now have the opportunity to resolve their civil penalty by paying the outstanding tolls without fees and penalties. Customers who have an unpaid civil penalty can contact Good To Go! to request a waiver of fees and penalties if they agree to pay all outstanding tolls. “First-time toll violators can call Good To Go! to review their civil penalty prior to a hearing,” said WSDOT Toll Operations Director Patty Rubstello. “Customer service will work with them to pay their toll, waive the penalties and fees, and resolve the issue that caused them to get

Misplaced your reseller permit? No worries. The Washington State Department of Revenue (Revenue) has simplified the process for businesses to view or print their reseller permit, which allows approved retailers and wholesalers to purchase items for resale without paying sales tax. Taxpayers can access their reseller permit through their online “My Account” with Revenue. Prior to adding this feature, a business needing its reseller permit had to contact Revenue and ask for a reprint to be mailed. “We listened to what our customers and our staff said would save time and are pleased to announce this new self-service option,” said Vikki Smith, Revenue’s director. “This is another way we are focused on providing a better customer experience.” Learn about reseller permits issued by Revenue: http://dor.wa.gov/content/ findtaxesandrates/retailsal estax/resellerpermit/

behind on their bill.” The toll violator will have 20 days to pay the tolls on their civil penalty or a hold will be placed on their vehicle registration. “We’ve learned that customers need flexibility and each situation is unique,” said Rubstello. “The purpose of this program is to collect the toll and educate the customer so they won’t get behind in the future. This approach fairly balances enforcing tolls for the 95 percent of drivers who pay on time while giving others the opportunity start over with a clean slate.” WSDOT worked closely with the 2015 Legislature to ensure the new resolution program worked within the provisions of the new toll customer service law RCW 46.63.160. (http://apps. leg.wa.gov/RCW/default. aspx?cite=46.63.160) The billing structure and the $40 civil penalty (http:// wsdot.wa.gov/GoodToGo/ nocp.htm) remains the same. The registered owner of a vehicle receives a bill in the mail within two weeks of using a toll facility. They have 15 days to pay before a second bill is issued with a $5 reprocessing fee. If the toll remains unpaid for 80 days, a notice of civil penalty is issued with $40 penalty per toll transaction. Unresolved civil penalties will still result in a vehicle registration hold. All Notice of Civil Penalties will be mailed with information about the new program (http:// wsdot.wa.gov/GoodToGo/ nocp.htm) and the new option available to resolve
