Downtown post office to close at end of the month

CITY CELEBRATION KICKS OFF TONIGHT

Retail operations to move to post office in Southeast Redmond Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

At the end of this month, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will close its downtown Redmond post office location at 16135 N.E. 85th St. After an unsuccessful search for a new downtown location, the post office’s retail operations will move to the post office at 7241 185th Ave. N.E. in Southeast Redmond. The last day for retail operations services downtown — which include package sending, certified mail, money orders, post office boxes and stamp purchasing — will be Saturday, July 28. The Southeast Redmond post office will begin offering these services and more Monday, July 30.

Ernie Swanson, a spokesperson for USPS’s Seattle district, said they will begin the moving process Thursday, July 26 and should finish by that weekend.

“We’ll still be open at the current location,” he said about the downtown location’s hours during the move.

Swanson said the downtown post office’s letter carriers and delivery and distribution center have already been relocated to the Southeast Redmond location in the last two months. He added there will be no layoffs with the move and employees from the downtown post office will move to the new location as well.

In earlier reports, Swanson said the post office relocation has been prompted by the drop off in mail service. [ more POST OFFICE page 7 ]

Don’t miss out on the Derby Days festivities

R

edmond’s annual summer extravaganza is ready to rock — and roll through town.

This weekend, the Redmond Derby Days Summer Festival — highlighted by a spirited, downtown parade and the nation’s longest-standing bicycle race — will be in full force.

You would be a fool to miss this long-standing, fun-filled event, which is in its 72nd year.

This year’s Derby Days will begin tonight, continue Saturday and conclude Sunday at various locations in downtown Redmond.

Attending this wonderful community event is an opportunity for neighbors to connect with one another while enjoying the great outdoors.

Derby Days has a little something for everyone.

The festival kicks off tonight with Friday Night Live, a free concert featuring Hit Explosion with Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Down Band.

The entertainment continues on Saturday at the Microsoft Entertainment Stage on the lawn at City Hall with an all-day lineup of bands and entertainment, including Beatles tribute band Creme Tangerine and Neil Diamond tribute band, Super Diamond.

Of course the big events will be Saturday with the Kids

Parade at 10 a.m. and the Grand Parade at 11 a.m., featuring all the fine fixings of a hometown parade.

It wouldn’t be Derby Days without the Redmond Criterium, the nation’s longest-running bicycle race. The nine-race lineup starts at 1:15 p.m. and concludes at 7 p.m. with the men’s Pro 1-2 race. And enjoy the fun of carnival rides at a new location at City Hall campus tonight and tomorrow.

If you didn’t get enough fireworks on the Fourth of July, stay for the fireworks finale Saturday night at 10 p.m. at City Hall.

New this year are Sunday activities in honor of the city’s centennial celebration. The day will begin with the Derby Dash 5K run/walk along the Sammamish River Trail, now in its third year, to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. There will also be a Sunday Concert in the Park at Downtown Park featuring local “X Factor” finalist LeRoy Bell.

Unless you are out of town, there’s no reason to miss Derby Days.

Don’t be a party pooper, come out and enjoy the fun with your neighbors — you won’t regret it.

Letter writer misrepresents charter schools Ms. Marilyn Bentz’ recent letter to the editor regarding the charter schools initiative could not be a more blatant misrepresentation of charter schools.

First, she refers to them as “private” schools. Nonsense.

Charter schools are public schools, operated within a public school district, funded by existing public tax dollars on a per-pupil basis, and accountable to public school boards for results.

Second, Ms. Bentz states that

“improving education could be undertaken within the existing system.” Unfortunately the continuing stranglehold the teachers unions have on the current system makes that unlikely. Because of union-driven policies that are more concerned with job security, seniority-based layoffs and equal pay regardless of merit, a quality education for our kids has become a secondary consideration. Time and time again, common sense reforms are blocked by the unions through acquiescent legislators and school boards.

Charter schools provide hope for change. While part of the local school district, their special charter

allows them greater independence than traditional public schools. They operate independently from the local district, free from regulations that dictate curriculum. Nor are they bound by ineffective teacher hiring and firing processes that give us what we have now, where good teachers are paid way too little and bad teachers are paid way too much.

Teachers are given an opportunity to be innovative in the classroom. New approaches to learning are evaluated.

Educators, no longer suffocated by bureaucracy, have the freedom to inspire students.

Finally, Ms. Bentz implies that the current school system is a target of elitists who “would exploit our

societal dilemmas for their own purposes.” Hogwash!

Charter schools are not only voluntary and open to all, they are designed to serve mainly lowincome and/or at-risk students for whom the existing “one size fits all” approach is an ongoing failure.

Nationally, a majority of all charter schools have a minority population of more than 40 percent — not exactly an enclave for elitists.

Charter schools have a proven success record in 41 states, including all states west of the Rockies except Washington.

I encourage all Reporter readers to make us the 42nd.

Meet the candidates running for Secretary of State

E

very four years, in addition to electing a governor to serve as our state’s chief executive, the people of Washington are called upon to elect several other officers to fill out our state’s executive department, which includes the offices of lieutenant governor, treasurer, auditor, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, commissioner of public lands, insurance commissioner and secretary of state.

This year, for only the second time since the state’s centennial, no incumbent secretary of state is seeking reelection, which means it’s up to us to choose a new leader to oversee elections and record keeping.

Several individuals are seeking the job: State Sen. Jim Kastama, Greg Nickels, the former mayor of Seattle, former State Sen. Kathleen Drew, and Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman, as well as three Andrew Villeneuve

Only two of these seven candidates will move on from the Aug. 7 winnowing election to the general election in November. Wyman is expected to be one of the two because she is the lone Republican, but Democratic voters have three candidates to choose from.

Redmond-based Hopelink gets light-rail grant Hopelink and Futurewise have received a $20,000 federal grant to help ensure that traditionally underserved communities are engaged in the planning and development process for Sound Transit’s East Link corridor project.

The 14-mile line will connect Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond beginning in 2023.

The funding – through the Growing Transit Communities Equity Grant Program – will help community organizers lay the groundwork to educate and involve low-

income families, people of color and immigrant and refugee communities.

The funding also will pilot test a grassroots strategy to reach out to underserved communities near the Overlake stations and update them about East Link corridor planning efforts and existing transit options, while also encouraging them to become involved in the process.

Hopelink will receive $15,000 directly and serve as the fiscal sponsor for another $5,000 awarded to Futurewise, a statewide public interest group work-

ing to promote healthy communities and cities while protecting farmland, forests and shorelines today and for future generations. Also included in the partnership are the cities of Redmond and Bellevue.

The Growing Transit Communities partnership is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program.

Join QFC to Support the USO When people think of the USO, many think of entertainment and the stage shows that have lifted the spirits of troops in combat and remote military locations around the world. And while entertainment has been and continues to be a valuable service provided by the USO, it is only a small part of the many programs and services provided by this nonprofit organization.

Since 1941 the USO, United Service Organizations, has been supporting American troops and their families in a multitude of ways. This is why QFC is proud to support the great work of the USO by making it our Charity of the Month for July.

Just about wherever the U.S. military goes, the USO is also there trying to help make the lives of our troops a little bit better.

Three of the services that the USO provides to troops in remote locations are Care Packages, MEGS and USO in a Box. Care package items are purchased directly from or donated by manufacturers and are purchased using donations. The USO works

closely with the Department of Defense to distribute packages. MEGS stands for Mobile Entertainment Gaming System.

It is a highly durable, easy-to-assemble and disassemble multimedia platform that troops can use to play video games. It supports up to four players and can be set up wherever soldiers are stationed. USO in a Box is small, 250-square-foot portable building that can accommodate up to 20 troops. It has heat or air conditioning for whatever environment it is in and holds features such as Internet access, two rugged laptops, four flat screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone and more.

Another valuable service is USO Centers.

There are over 160 USO Centers in countries around the world where thousands of troops and their families can come to relax, contact loved ones back home, get something to eat and take advantage of various USO programs and services. These centers are often the first support stop for wounded, ill or injured servicemen and women and their families before returning to the U.S.

Back here in the U.S., the USO is constructing two warrior and family centers -- one at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and one in Fort Belvoir, Va. as part of Operation Enduring Care. The program’s goal is to provide physical and emotional support and to help troops restore their wounded lives in a warm and caring environment.

Unfortunately, not every military member returns home alive. When troops die outside the U.S., the USO has a program to help their loved ones called Families of the Fallen. The bodies of those who have died

overseas are flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and many families travel there to witness the return. The USO works with families to expedite the travel process to Dover, supports the families’ on-site needs, and introduces parents, spouses, peers and children to special programs to help cope with their grief when they return home.

The USO stands an exemplary organization that is making a difference in the lives of thousands of troops and their families. If you would like to support their efforts we invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand. Thank you for your support!

— or one of his supporters — is responsible for a misleading “push poll,” which attempts to influence voter opinion under the guise of conducting an impartial survey without saying who is paying for the campaign messages.

Both candidates deny responsibility for the poll, which asked provocative and suggestive questions about both candidates, according to 48th District voters who have received the lengthy, non-automated phone survey.

Myers is concerned that the push poll, which makes negative insinuations against both candidates, will lead to personal attack ads.

“We are tying to establish a record with the PDC that this has happened,” Myers said of the poll, which he believes is being conducted by the same firm that allegedly conducted a push poll on behalf of an Eastside Democrat in 2010. “It’s a sleazy-type campaign.”

Habib, a Bellevue attorney, said that Myers’ push-poll accusations are a distraction tactic and added that he plans to also file a complaint with the PDC concerning Myers’ failure to comply with PDC deadlines.

“My opponent has missed several disclosure deadlines since commencing his campaign in May and I do intend to follow up with the PDC to ensure that he is aware of and complies with the law,” Habib said. “I certainly think it’s possible that he and his supporters want to distract voters’ attention away from the fact that the mayors of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Medina have all endorsed me over my opponent and that even a majority of his own colleagues on the Redmond City Council have chosen to endorse me over him.”

Myers said he has resolved his issues with filing his reports to the PDC and said all of his reports are current and up to date.

As of Wednesday, Habib has raised $155,100 and spent nearly $40,000, while Myers has raised $16,347 and spent nothing, according to the PDC website.

Myers, along with the King County Republican Party, is convinced that Habib was somehow financially involved in last month’s push poll phone survey of voters in the 48th District, which includes Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland.

HARD TO FIGURE OUT

It is difficult to decipher who is behind the poll, according to voters who received the phone survey.

Former longtime Redmond City Council member Richard Cole, who retired last December, said he received the call from a person who asked questions and made positive and negative insinuations about both candidates.

“It was so balanced with pluses and minuses on each side,” Cole said. “I have no idea which party paid for it.”

Cole said the phone caller made several “blatantly untrue, outrageous” claims against both candidates, making it a “distinct possibility that neither candidate knew about it.”

Cole, who is working for the campaign of Democrat Laura Ruderman in the 1st District Congressional race, says he is staying neutral in this race because of his past work with Myers on the Redmond City Council.

When asked if the poll could be funded by a third party, Myers said “these are not cheap polls. What third party would benefit from this?”

The survey asked questions about Habib’s Iranian-American ethnicity, triggering one Redmond Reporter reader to write a letter to the editor that said the poll started out “merely insulting to candidate Cyrus Habib, then became viciously racist.” The letter writer wrote that she believed the poll was being done on Myers’ behalf.

Another 48th District voter who received the phone survey responded to that letter a week later with a letter to the editor and said he got “the impression it was paid for by the Cyrus Habib and/or a Democratic group.”

“I thought there were more negative questions concerning Hank Myers than for Cyrus Habib,” including one question that falsely insinuated that Myers did not pay his taxes, the letter writer wrote. The letter went on to say that “the poll went on way too long and based on the large amount of questions you could make anything you want out of the poll.”

GOP, DEM PARTIES DENY INVOLVEMENT

Myers said he believes the poll is being conducted by Mountain West Research, an Idaho-based firm that was fined in 2010 for a push poll that was affiliated with a Democrat Senate candidate in New Hampshire.

The King County Republican Party, which also

denied responsibility for the poll, issued a press release Monday, saying Mountain West is the same firm that used a push poll for Democrat Marcie Maxwell in her 2010 election in the 41st Legislative District, which includes Mercer Island, Bellevue and Sammamish.

“The same company used the same unethical tactic in 2010 for another Eastside Democrat,” King County Republican Party chairwoman Lori Sotelo said in the press release.

“Cyrus Habib is simply the latest Democrat to use this sleazy tactic that is used to illegally spread false rumors without having to include a disclaimer saying who paid for it. It is clear that Habib knows who is doing this.”

Habib said he had nothing to do with the poll.

“I didn’t authorize nor do I condone push polling,” Habib said. “I am not aware of any push polls from supporters and would urge any supporter to not engage in such activity. I feel strongly, as I hope my opponent does as well, that moving our state forward on education, transportation and job growth should be the focus of this race, not insinuations regarding my ethnicity.”

The King County Democrat Party was also not responsible for the poll, according to the party’s communications and technology chairman Andrew Villeneuve.

“Our view is that people who pay for push polls are wasting their money,” Villeneuve said. “If you’re trying to do legitimate opinion research, you have to ask neutral questions, otherwise the answers you get will be of no use.”

Mountain West officials did not respond to Reporter’s attempts for comment.

If either candidate was responsible for the poll, it will come out July 17, the next PDC filing deadline, according to PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson.

Any campaign spending must be itemized and reported to the PDC each month. Donations must be reported on a weekly basis.

Donations and spending for all the state races can be found at pdc.wa.gov.

Myers admitted that it will be hard to prove Habib was responsible for the poll, but he still plans to file a complaint.

“If someone is lying I want them to be exposed,” Myers said. “I am really offended by this.”

Habib said he will also be following up with the PDC on the push-poll issue.

“I want the truth to come out,” he said.

Local historian to conduct tour of Old Redmond Cemetery On Sunday, July 15, the City of Redmond will host a tour of the Old Redmond Cemetery at 7000 180th Pl. N.E. from 1-2:30 p.m.

The tour will be led by local historian Tom Hitzroth from the Redmond Historical Society and begin at the flag pole inside the cemetery, which is located within Cedar Lawns Memorial Park.

Kim Dietz, who heads the city’s historical preservation program, said this is the first-ever tour of the cemetery and it is in

honor of the city’s centennial. She said the tour will celebrate and honor a number of Redmond’s founders, who are located within the cemetery. The tour will also cover past and modern cemetery design as well as symbolism among the monuments.

Dietz added that they will also discuss how epidemics have affected Redmond as well as mining, railroads and other industries.

“We’re going to talk about a wide variety of aspects,” she said.

The cost of the tour is $8 with proceeds going to support the historical society.

For more information and to preregister, visit www.redmondhistoricalsociety.org.

The tour will not be held if it rains. To check the status of the tour, call Dietz at (425) 556-2415.

He’d said the volume of outgoing mail has decreased significantly during the last few years and the USPS has excess space in many of their facilities.

City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione said for the USPS to leave downtown at a time when the downtown core is growing makes no sense.

“Having a communitybased downtown post office is essential for a thriving community,” he said. “Residents and businesses depend on counter assistance, P.O. box access, shipping and mailing both locally and overseas, pick up of held mail as well as large-size packages and other services.”

Marchione said in addition to the downtown business core, the current location serves residents from other neighborhoods, including Education Hill, Bear Creek, Sammamish Valley and Grass Lawn.

“The Southeast Redmond site is not convenient for the majority of residents or businesses and is not on any bus routes or within walking distance,” he said.

The USPS had previously been looking at a new downtown location at 8215 160th Ave. N.E., but Swanson said they “made a determination that it just didn’t make good business sense” with the USPS’s continuing financial issues to lease a new location when there was an existing

post office within two miles.

While there is no new downtown post office location at the moment, Swanson said USPS is soliciting downtown businesses regarding the possibility of a contract postal unit (CPU), which is a post office within a commercial business. He said CPUs offer all the services of a standalone post office except for post office box rentals.

CPUs are typically located within grocery stores, drugstores, stationary stores or hardware stores.

“Could be any number of things,” Swanson said about possible businesses.

He said in order to support a CPU, a business would need about 100 square feet of available space and be open during certain hours. Swanson said one of the benefits of housing a CPU is that the commercial business would receive a percentage of the profits the CPU makes. He said another benefit is that it would bring in customers.

AN ART UPRISING at DOWNTOWN PARK City event series to encourage residents to use new park

Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

T

his summer, the City of Redmond will hold a series of events at Downtown Park to encourage residents to utilize the new space.

Located at 16101 Redmond Way, the three-quarter acre patch of grass is now open to the public but goes mostly unused save for the occasional dogs and their owners out for a walk, said City of Redmond senior park planner B. Sanders.

But starting this weekend, she said the city hopes to bring people to the park with “Sundays in the Park,” a five-week series of activityfilled afternoons that will include live music and old-fashioned lawn games such as badminton, croquet, bocce ball and even a giant chess board. With the exception of this weekend, all of the weekly events will be from 1-3 p.m.

This Sunday’s event — which kicks off the series and closes Derby Days — will be from 4-8 p.m. and feature local “X Factor” finalist, LeRoy Bell, a rhythm and blues musician.

The following weeks’ entertain-

City of Redmond senior park planner B. Sanders said the upcoming Sundays in the Park series is a way to encourage people to utilize Downtown Park and gather public input on what residents want in the future urban park. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter ment will include local performers from the Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) on July 22, Sophisticated Big Band from the Redmond Senior Center (RSC) on July 29, “Junior Voices” from the Redmond Academy of Theatre Arts on Aug. 5 and MoJo, a jazz band from the RSC, on Aug. 12.

Sanders said city officials worked to get a variety of performers that would appeal to all demographics.

“A lot of it is to help get people acquainted with the new space,” she said about the series.

Clint McCune, who co-owns SoulFood Books in downtown and serves as the chair of the city’s Arts Commission, said Downtown Park is also a more centralized and visible location for performing arts events. He said they hope Sundays [ more ARTs IN THE PARK page 9 ]

With a number of new businesses opening in the last couple of years, Bear Creek Village in Redmond has received a muchneeded boost since its oncevacant days a few years ago.

One of the latest items in the shopping center — which is located in the 17000-17200 blocks between Avondale Way and Redmond Way — to receive a makeover has been the tower on the Redmond Way side of the plaza.

Steve Emery of Colliers International in Seattle, the property management company overseeing Bear Creek Village, said in addition to bringing in new businesses, they wanted to enhance what they already had.

He said the old tower structure, which resembled a clock tower but wasn't a clock tower, was deteriorating and needed to be remodeled and updated.

Emery added that while coming up with concepts for the tower's new look, they wanted to tie in Bear Creek and include some sort of water element to the art installation.

The result is a structure about 30 feet tall with eight-inch wide strips of swirling steel to resemble flowing water. While the blue steel strips are new, the piece uses the tower's existing base and four corner pillars.

"We wanted to try and use it instead of tearing it down," Emery said.

The planning for the new installation, which should be complete by the middle of this month, began in March.

But before this piece was designed, Bear Creek Village's signage was updated.

Franklin Ng — an associate principal with Kirkland-based Freiheit & Ho Architects, the firm hired for the remodel — said like the tower installation, they wanted to tie the new signs back to Bear Creek. The complex's three new signs (two on Avondale Way, one on Redmond Way) now feature a silhouette of a bear and will be lit to enhance their visibility from the street.

Ng said Freiheit & Ho mainly works in commercial architecture with the occasional re-imaging and rebranding work, but this was the first time his firm has done an art installation.

He said one of the challenges of the project was coming up with a concept that captured the essence of Bear Creek Village [ more TOWER page 9 ]

pockets throughout the park where people can gather.

“I guess I’d like to see a space that’s really beautiful with some unique features,” she said.

Sanders said all of the property within the proposed park’s boundaries has been purchased and some tenants have already relocated. Others will be moving out soon and she said the goal is to have all buildings vacated by the end of the year.

The city still needs funding to develop the park, but Sanders said they hope to do some low-cost interim prep work and enhancements with the land to get the site ready for what’s to come.

One enhancement that appeared this morning was red bistro chairs and tables on the sidewalks along 161st Avenue Northeast and Cleveland Street, which Sanders said people will be able to move around and gather informally.

in the Park will also serve as a catalyst to cultivate the local arts scene and show residents they don’t have to go beyond their backyards to find talented performers.

McCune said the Sunday series is part of an effort to expand the arts throughout Redmond. In the past, most events such as Arts in the Parks have been at City Hall but this year, the Arts Commission has partnered with other groups in the city such as Redmond Town Center, which will host Friday evening concerts this summer previously held at City Hall.

There will still be Arts in the Parks noon concerts at City Hall on Thursdays.

“Now our venue is the city,” McCune said about their thought process regarding arts programming in the community. “It is safe to be creative within the

bounds of Redmond.”

McCune credits this to Parks Director Craig Larsen, who he said sees the whole picture and realizes the arts are just as important as keeping lawns mowed and trails clean.

In addition to highlighting the park and the arts, Sanders said the city will set up a booth at Sundays in the Park to gather public feedback on Downtown Park’s future and what residents want to see done with the space, which will expand eastward and stop about halfway between Brown Street and Leary Way Northeast. The total size of the park, once complete, will be two acres.

“One day, it’s going to be a really fun urban park,” Sanders said.

Sanders, who lives in the Bear Creek neighborhood, said personally, some things she would like to see in the park are an ornamental garden, fountain and smaller

that would enhance the quality and overall feel of the center.

"The funnest part is to just see it all come together," Ng said about the project reaching its completion.

"It's always nice to see your work become real."

In addition to Freiheit & Ho, R P Art in Seattle worked on the fabrication for the tower installation and CS Sign Corp in Bellevue and Vancouver Sign Group worked on the design and fabrication for the complex's new signs.

Emery said work on Bear Creek Village began with new businesses such as Ross, Ulta and Sport Clips and has also included

landscaping throughout the plaza, which began in fall of 2011.

"We've completely relandscaped the entire site outside the perimeter," he said.

Emery added that they will also work on enhancing the buildings with new paint jobs to create a more cohesive and uniform look throughout the complex.

Bear Creek Village has almost reached full occupancy and only has two vacancies at the moment — a 720 square-foot space and a 2,900 square-foot space.

"And at that point, we'll be 100 percent occupied," Emery said, adding that it speaks well for the center to have a full parking lot.

Bothell filmmaker’s short film ‘Brother’ to star SoulFood Books owner Samantha Pak

spak@redmond-reporter.com

On Saturday, SoulFood Books will hold a fundraiser for “Brother,” a short film Bothell resident Adam Chambers wrote, starring SoulFood Books owner Clint McCune (not pictured). Samantha pak, Redmond Reporter

In the 10 years they have known each other, Adam Chambers has never seen Clint McCune angry.

Chambers said McCune, co-owner of SoulFood Books in Redmond, has a friendly disposition that belies the hotheadedness many people assume comes with having red hair.

“I would expect him to have a temper,” Chambers said about McCune.

The more Chambers thought about this, the more interesting the Bothell resident thought it would be to see McCune get mad.

From these thoughts came the script for “Brother” — a short film of about 10 minutes Chambers wrote in early May about a rude, belligerent and im-

Evergreen Healthcare is now

Better together.

Your best health begins with a great partner.

EvergreenHealth Primary Care Locations Canyon Park Duvall Kenmore Redmond Sammamish Woodinville

At EvergreenHealth, your primary care physician is your partner in supporting you to be your very healthiest. A caring professional who spends time with you to understand your individual needs—and works with you as those needs evolve. Someone who can offer you the information that matters most to your health. And part of a system that delivers quality care where you need it, when you need it.

With multilingual primary care clinics in six Eastside neighborhoods, supported by the specialists and breakthrough practices and technology at EvergreenHealth, we’re here for you at every stage of life.

posing man filled with rage.

McCune will play the role of the angry man. He said despite being involved in drama while attending Woodinville High School and studying acting and theater at the University of Evansville in Indiana, he has spent the last 10 years performing music rather than acting. So he was “excited to stretch those (acting) muscles” when Chambers approached him with the idea for “Brother.”

McCune, who lives in Redmond, is aware of the contrast between himself and the character and said a lot of it comes from his life: He loves his neighborhood, his job and the role he plays in the local community.

“I like to stay positive,” he said. “There really isn’t a reason to be angry.”

Although this is mostly true for McCune, he admits that recent events have given him a reason to rage.

In the last month McCune lost his best friend David Barnhart — a woodcarver he described as a “Redmond staple” — to cancer. McCune said his grief is reflected in his latest music and he is actually looking forward to using “Brother” as another vehicle to express himself.

“It’ll be fueled by (my grief),” he said about the acting job ahead of him.

McCune said part of being an artist is timing and although it is important to have the technical skill set, the quality of work is usually higher when you work with raw emotions and things are not forced. He added that artists tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves more as well and that can inspire

others to do the same.

In addition to acting again, McCune said another reason he agreed to the project was his close relationship with Chambers. The two have worked together in the past on putting together musical performances and he said he knows Chambers’ work will have a sense of truth and integrity.

One example of this is the fact that Chambers, who has worked on various independent film projects in the past, plans to shoot the movie on Super 8 celluloid film rather than go digital.

“Anything worth doing usually is not easy,” he said about the more time-consuming process that comes with using film.

Chambers, who works under the pen name of “Captain Chambers,” said he will transfer it to a digital format after filming and edit it that way as well. He added that using Super 8 is also more expensive and half of his expenses will go toward just purchasing the film.

Because of this, SoulFood Books, located at 15748 Redmond Way downtown, is holding a fundraiser on Saturday from 8-10 p.m. to help Chambers pay for the film. He said his goal is to raise about $1,000.

Saturday’s event will feature all avenues of creativity, Chambers said, including short films, musicians, dancers and poetry readings.

“I’m not charging anybody,” he said about an entry fee. “It’s a suggested donation.”

There will also be a silent auction with various items including artwork and special original gift packages Chambers has put together from his previous film projects.

Chambers said he hopes to keep the momentum on “Brother” going and begin filming this summer.

45TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT, POS. 1: ROGER GOODMAN

Goodman looks to improve education, economy When state Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, announced that he would be running for Congress in the 1st District, his intentions were to go to Washington D.C. and help change the culture.

“It was a great opportunity since I live in the district,” said Goodman, who is seeking a fourth term in the 45th District. “All my family and supporters told me to go for it. But there was a reason I hesitated for a month.”

Goodman’s original apprehensions won out in the end as he dropped his bid after nearly a year of campaigning and fundraising.

“You spend 95 percent of your time raising money and 5 percent on issues,” said Goodman of running for national office. “I still do believe I would make a difference.”

But the amount of money needed to run for Congress also helped Goodman to

Steve Lacey was killed last summer by a drunk driver on Northeast 85th.

“That could have been me. I take that route all the time,” said Goodman, who wants to meet Steve’s widow Nabila Lacey someday.

“Steve’s friends and family came to me for help.”

The only DUI law that did not pass was to impose child support from convicted DUI homicides for victims.

Domestic violence has been tougher for the legislature to act upon.

“You can’t reach in and stop it, you can only respond,” said Goodman.

The help has come with education and more dedicated police department domestic violence units.

If given a fourth term, Goodman hopes to shift his focus.

“There will be a lot of turnover and I will rise in leadership,” said Goodman, who wants to chair the Community and Economic Development Committee.

“I want to focus on business development. I want to meet more with chambers of commerce and businesses. What is legislating about other than supporting the communities and businesses?”

He also foresees having to deal with more global crises: “We are going to have to adapt to food crises and continue to expand clean energy.”

But one of the most important things for Goodman is education. With a young child in preschool he has immersed himself in the topic and is trying to make changes. He helped get a law passed that would make preschool an entitlement. The law will take effect in 2018, but it has to be funded. He cites studies that show kids who go through preschool have more productive lives than those who do not.

“I want every kid to have the same chance as my kid,” said Goodman.

DO YOUR TEETH MATCH YOUR SKIN?

• Jim Thatcher: Very good • Lawrence Springer: Very good

We are all at least somewhat familiar with any number of invasive and noninvasive cosmetic surgery procedures (ranging from laser skin rejuvenation to face-lifts) that are popular among those wishing to eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, and surface imperfections. As effective as these treatments and procedures are, their effect can be undermined by teeth that are decidedly less youthful-looking. The good news is that dentists also perform an array of cosmetic procedures that can make anyone’s smile as perfect as his or her skin.

Such procedures include simple, non-invasive professional tooth whitening and bonding, which cover imperfections and fill cracks with tooth-colored resin.

More ambitious procedures range from the placement of porcelain veneers to full crown and dental implants.

While the goal of cosmetic dentistry may be to improve the look of a smile, utilizing permanent bridges, implants, or dentures may also improve function, which can have a big impact on overall health.

If you would like to know more about how you can enhance your smile, we would be happy to offer you a FREE CONSULTATION at NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY.

45TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT, POS. 1: JOEL HUSSEY

Hussey aims to bring ‘business sense’ to Olympia Redmond businessman Joel Hussey is out to fix the state’s budget.

The first-time politician is running for Pos. 1 in the 45th Legislative District to bring some “business sense” to Olympia’s growing debt disasters.

Hussey, a Republican, will challenge three-term incumbent Roger Goodman and political newcomer Jacob Bond, both Democrats from Kirkland.

And the structural problems in the system are getting larger and larger,” lamented Hussey, who is CEO and president of the Redmond-based aircraft leasing company Tailwind Capital. “The longer you wait, the harder they are to fix. At some point you gotta quit complaining to your friends and step up and do something about it.”

45TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT, POS. 1: JACOB BOND

Underdog candidate aims to fix partisan gridlock CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

Political newcomer Jacob Bond is not afraid to call himself an underdog.

The 27-year-old combat veteran and emergency medical technician said he does not plan to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars backed by his Democratic Party.

“Everybody likes an underdog and I think that’s a good position for my campaign to work with,” said Bond, who is challenging incumbent Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, and Republican Joel Hussey of Redmond.

If elected as 45th District, Pos. 1 state representative, Bond said he hopes to help fix the partisan gridlock in the Legislature.

“I’ll be a Democrat on the ballot, but the Democrats have been in office, the Republicans have been in office and the system is still broken,” said Bond, who lives in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood with his wife. “I’d like to bring common sense back. If the

“I’ll be a Democrat on the ballot, but the Democrats have been in office, the Republicans have been in office and the system is broken. I’d like to bring common sense back. If the current incumbent gets back into position, we’ll continue with that broken government.” — Jacob Bond current incumbent gets back into his position, we’ll continue with that broken government.”

A Redmond native, Bond joined the U.S. Marine Corps right out of Marysville High School in 2003 and was deployed to Iraq twice. He completed the EMT program at Pierce College and also studied international business at a university in south central Mexico, where he also did immigration advocacy for his wife and others. He is currently finishing up his business degree at Bellevue College and is also a statelicensed financial advisor.

Bond believes his broad background will give him an edge in Olympia when addressing different issues.

One of his personal priorities as state representative would be supporting

veterans.

“I do have a personal passion and there’s something that really pushed me into the political arena – veterans,” he said. “I hold them near to my heart and I’ve worked with several organizations that help veterans.”

Unfortunately, he said veterans coming back from combat get lost in the fray of things and don’t know where to turn for benefits.

“When I came back (from Iraq) people said there are tons of benefits out there, but no one showed me where to go for these,” said Bond. “So that’s going to be a personal endeavor for myself when I get into the house if people elect me.”

His other priorities include education and job creation.

“Trying to find innova-

Commission. However, his campaign is not focused on raising a lot of money or gaining huge endorsements.

“We’re out there so that we can be engaged by voters. We need to focus on the people,” he said.

Part of that focus means putting the “trivial bills on the wayside” so the Legislature can help get people back to work, he said.

He noted he and his wife are ready to have children, but they are afraid for their children’s education and prospects for a job.

“We shouldn’t be passing our problems off to our children. So that’s the goal whenever we’re passing legislation, is how are our children going to be affected in this,” Bond added.

“And that’s really what I want to bring to voters is it’s not just us, it’s our future as well. If we don’t have the common sense to look at a week, a year, 10 years into the future, we’ve failed before we’ve started.”

tive ideas for job creation, not only within the district, but the state of Washington, is going to be huge,” he said.

Bond is currently working with the Woodinville Wine Association to connect winery representatives with educational institutions to mold a new program to produce skilled labor. He has found that when students graduate from different wine programs in Western Washington they are not prepared to run a business.

With the new program, he hopes it will give students a “fighting chance” when they graduate from wine programs.

“Hopefully that’s a start to many innovative ideas.

We’d like to get a lot of apprenticeship programs, and bring veterans coming back from war zones into

much-needed industries,” he added.

He also aims to focus on constituents who are not being represented and the problems that are being put to the side.

His biggest criticism of his incumbent challenger was Goodman’s so-called “drug agenda.”

“I just don’t think that marijuana should be on the top list of issues. I think it should be addressed, but it’s definitely not on a double working family’s list of things they need to get passed in the Legislature,” said Bond.

“I’ve got my neighbors who are struggling to make their mortgage payments; I’m pretty sure pot’s not on the grocery list.”

He also criticized his opponent for dropping his bid for Congress to run for reelection in the state house.

“To me, that shows him hedging his bets. I think it’s a disservice to the people to jump back and forth,” said Bond.

So far, he has raised nearly $3,000, according to the Public Disclosure

Is your new home safe and secure?

Summer brings a full court press for moving season — as more Americans relocate during summer than any other time of year.

While aesthetics often take precedence when settling into a “new-to-you” home, it’s important for homeowners and renters alike

to complete a safety check of their abode to reduce the risk of unintentional injuries.

One of the greatest hazards in a home that usually is the furthest from the mind is fire.

But, it’s one of the easiest to address.

More than two-thirds of residential fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms or with non-working alarms according to the National Fire Protection Association. One in four families with homes built prior to 2002 is at risk due to aging (10 or more years old) smoke alarms, according to a recent survey from Kidde.

Fire experts recommend replacing alarms every 10 years as older smoke alarms may not operate efficiently and often cause nuisance alarms. By the time a smoke alarm is 10 years old, it has a 30 percent chance of not alarming due to age-related factors such as accumulated dust, insects and airborne contaminants, according to a Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center study. If you don’t know how old your smoke alarms are, or if you know they were installed more than 10 years ago, it’s replacement time.

Get Your Finances in Order

Home Ownership Buying a home may be the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime and the process can be exciting.

For many, it can also be intimidating but understanding the steps to achieving your goal of home ownership can help you stay on track and improve your buying experience.

Save for a Down Payment and Closing Costs

The amount you will need for a down payment depends on your lender, but the more money you are able to put toward your down payment, the more equity you will have in your home and the lower your mortgage payments will be. If you have less than 20 percent to put down, you'll probably have to pay for mortgage

Shop for a Mortgage

Learn about different terms and rates available, as well as any loan programs that might be available to you as a homebuyer. Many banks offer special mortgage programs that may be suitable for you. A trusted lender can estimate how much you can truly afford to pay for a mortgage and offer insight to what type of mortgage is best suited for you. Lenders can also help you get pre-approved for a loan, which establishes your buying power giving you more leverage in the dealmaking process.

Make an Offer

Once you find a home that meets your price range and criteria, you may be ready to make an offer. The three basic components of a purchase offer are price, terms and contingencies.

Price is the dollar amount of the offer, terms cover the other financial and timing factors that will be included in the offer and contingencies are clauses that specify what will need to take place in order for you to fulfill the contract.

The seller will either accept your offer, counter-bid or decline your offer. If you and the seller are able to come to an agreement, you’ll be asked to sign a contract and put down a “binder” or “earnest money."

Hire a home inspector, preferably an engineer familiar with the area where you are buying, to take a close look at the condition of the home. An inspection can point out potential problems that could require costly repairs down the road.

In addition to the general home inspection, it may also be prudent to have specialists inspect various areas of the home, such as the roof, electrical, plumbing, chimney, etc.

more you put in, the lower your taxable income. (Taxes are due upon withdrawal and withdrawals prior to age 59 and a half may be subject to a 10 percent IRS penalty.)

The amount you can afford to put into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan depends on your earnings and other circumstances — but you should at least strive to contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. Otherwise, you’ll be walking away from “free” money.

All the money you contribute to your plan is yours, but if you leave your job before a specified vesting period — which often ranges from three to seven years — you may not be able to keep all your employer’s contributions. Check your plan’s rules to see how this applies to you.

Of course, since you, as a Millennial, are in the early stage of your working years, you may well be on the lookout for new job opportunities. But if you are close to being fully vested in your 401(k), you might consider waiting a few extra months — or even a year — to take a new job, so that you can leave with the money your employer has contributed.

As a Millennial, you’ve got time on your side as you invest for the future. So make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way.

DERBY DAYS CRITERIUM

EYES ON THE PRIZE

Two-time defending criterium champ shoots for another Redmond win

D

avid Richter doesn’t live in Redmond, but he knows his way around downtown better than most.

Richter, a former professional cyclist, is the two-time defending elite men’s champion of the Derby Days Criterium, the longest continuously running “crit” in the nation.

Seventy-one years strong, the criterium continues to be one of the premiere events for citizens — and cyclists — at the city’s annual Derby Days Summer Festival.

The Derby Days Criterium is a multi-lap course in downtown Redmond, with a time limit — this year it’s 90 minutes. The racers average around 30 miles an hour and each lap is seven-tenths of a mile. Once the time limit is up, the first one to cross the finish line wins — and lately Richter has owned the elite men’s race.

“I feel like I’m a Redmond citizen with winning the race and loving the race so much,” said Richter, a 42-year-old Seattle resident. “It’s really cool that the city is part of it. This is part of the Redmond community and that’s what makes it special.”

Richter is hoping to add another win to his Redmond resume Saturday night when he competes in the elite men’s race, the finale of a nine-race schedule.

Richter has won the Derby Days Criterium three out of the last four years — he placed second in 2009 — and four times total since he began racing here in the early 1990s.

Richter, who considers himself a history buff, said the Derby Days Criterium is his favorite because of its historical significance and the enthusiasm it generates.

“It’s always been one of the premiere race dates on the calendar because it’s been around for a long time,” he said. “It’s got a lot of history to it. It’s always meant a lot to me.”

AN ‘ANCHOR EVENT’ FOR DERBY DAYS

Lisa Rhodes, the marketing director for the City of Redmond, called the criterium one of “the anchor events” of Derby Days.

REPORTER

Seattle resident and former professional cyclist David Richter has won the last two elite men’s Derby Days Criterium races and says that the Redmond race is of one his all-time favorites. Bill Christianson, Redmond Reporter “I believe it is popular because no matter how the Derby Days Festival has changed over the years, the criterium has always been consistent,” she said. “Racers can count on a quality race event, no matter what.”

That consistency is what keeps Richter coming back to Redmond every July.

Richter retired from professional cycling about five years ago, but still gets his “crit” fix at local races in the area.

Richter, who raced professionally both on the mountain and road circuits, hung up his pro wheels and now spends most of his time developing his cycling business and spending time with his wife.

But when he puts on that racing

jersey — no matter the magnitude of the competition — he is ready to roll.

“I still love doing it, so I take it seriously,” said Richter. “Every time I line up, I count on winning.”

Last Sunday, Richter won the elite men’s state criterium championship in Bellingham. In addition, he crossed the finish line first at both the Walla Walla and Wenatchee criteriums earlier this year.

Joe Holmes, the Derby Days Criterium coordinator, said Richter is definitely one of the favorites at Saturday’s Derby Days Criterium.

“He’s a good sprinter,” said Holmes, who was Richter’s teammate in 2008 when Richter won the Derby Days Criterium. “He’s got a lot of

Richter will be racing Saturday with his business partner, Todd Harriot and his other teammates from Harriott Sporting Performance, a cycling business in Seattle Richter co-owns with Harriot.

And with more prize money this year — thanks to a new sponsorship with Swedish Medical Center — Richter has added motivation. This year the winning men’s team will get $1,000 and the total prize money for all the races has been raised to $10,000, which is the highest criterium prize pot in the state, according to Holmes, president of the Washington State Cycling Association.

With the increased prize money, Holmes said he is shooting for a total of 500 participants during the nine races, which begin at 1:15 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m.

But there will be even more people watching as the Derby Days Festival draws thousands of people, many of whom line the streets to watch the bike races.

Richter said one of the reasons he does so well racing in Redmond is because of the energetic crowd.

“I like racing around big enthusiastic crowds,” he said. “In this setting, it’s like you are putting on a show.”

Richter never thought he would be bike racing in front of screaming fans nearly 25 years ago when he was drafted out of high school by the Philadelphia Phillies, a Major League Baseball team.

He never did sign with the Phillies and instead became a professional mountain bike racer before switching to road racing. He said his pro career took him all over the world to places he would have never gone to if he wasn’t a cyclist.

But now that he is retired, his home — and heart — remain in the Northwest.

And even though he lives in Seattle, he owns a piece of Redmond history as a four-time champion of the Derby Days Criterium.

Marymoor Grand Prix to feature fast-paced velodrome bicycle racing Event to be held July 20-21 at Marymoor Park Some of the fastest track cyclists are headed to the Velodrome at King County’s Marymoor Park for two days of all-out racing as part of the 2012 Marymoor Grand Prix, presented by nuun hydration drinks, July 20-21.

Racing begins at 7 p.m. on both nights, with qualifying races starting at 1 p.m. on Friday and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Marymoor Grand Prix will feature several current national champions, as well as former and future Olympians, who will be competing on fixed gear bikes with no brakes and at speeds of up to 40 mph.

Admission to the event is $5 per person; kids 16 and younger are free. There will be a “Kiddie Kilo”

both nights and children are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets to participate. A beer garden sponsored by Schooner Ale will be open from 6:3010:30 p.m. both evenings.

Food is available from vendors in the park, or spectators can bring their own picnics.

Friday night’s races include the “Keirin” – a race where up to eight competitors are paced around the track by a scooter as it accelerates to 30 mph. With one lap to go, the scooter exits the track and the cyclists compete in a one-lap dash for the finish line.

Saturday night’s action features more races, including the always popular “Madison” as a finale.

Named for Madison Square Garden, the home of track cycling in the 1920s and 1930s, a “Madison” race consists of teams of two riders with one teammate racing all-out and the

other “resting” up along the top of the track. Exchanges occur once every lap or so with the racing teammate literally slinging his partner up to speed and into the action.

All of the details are available http://velodrome. org/marymoorgrandprix.

For more details, visit www. velodrome.org/marymoor grandprix, or contact David Mann, Marymoor Grand Prix Director, at (206) 3560470 or mann@gendlermann.com.

King County’s Marymoor Park is home to the only velodrome in Washington.

Operated by the Marymoor Velodrome Association, the 400-meter oval track is dedicated to bicycle racing and hosts programs from riders of all levels, including youth classes, the popular Friday Night Racing series, and even national racing championships. Visit velo drome.org/mva/ for more information.

Portland native Kevin Masker won the elite men’s Keirin race at last year’s Marymoor Grand Prix. The event will return to Marymoor Park July 20-21. File photo

While health is largely determined by genes, our personalities and dietary and exercise habits are also factors in determining health as well as longevity. Of course, it’s not as easy to change our personalities as it is to switch to healthier lifestyles. After all, personality traits emerge in childhood and tend to persist into adulthood. However, personality does change with age, which can be a good thing for seniors. For example, research shows that most of us become more conscientious as we get older. Interestingly, this personality type is the one that most consistently correlates with good health.

Conscientious individuals are not only less likely to engage in dangerous behaviors, they are also more likely to adhere to healthy ones.

HINT: Conscientious individuals may be more likely to avoid stressful situations, which are known to erode health.

PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING is pleased to present you with interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. Our experienced and caring staff realizes that living a healthy lifestyle is critical to the longevity of our senior residents. We provide a wide variety of activity options that encourage our seniors to achieve and maintain their ‘personal best’. To learn more, contact us at (425) 869-2273. We will arrange an initial, confidential meeting and a tour of our unique senior community at 14431 Redmond Way. We look forward to meeting you!

DUI: Redmond police conducted a traffic stop at 11:37 p.m. in the 16200 block of Northeast 87th Street on

Education Hill. The driver was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.

Shoplifting: Redmond police took a theft report at 8:35 p.m. in the 16400 block of Northeast 74th Street downtown.

Vandalism: At 3:58 p.m., officers investigated vandalism to city property in the 15600 block of Northeast 85th Street of Education Hill. At this point there are no suspects or leads.

Assault: Redmond police responded to a physical argument at 2:32 p.m. between two family members in the 2500 block of 183rd Avenue Northeast in Overlake.

Saturday Market Kids’ Day a big success It was all about the kids at last weekend’s Redmond Saturday Market.

There were 20 different kid-managed booths and at least two of the kid vendors donated their proceeds to charity as part of Kids Day last Saturday, according to market director Nicole Package.

Besides kids selling their wares, there was also entertainment for youngsters provided by Mr. Darby, a Kids Day fixture at the market who sang and told stories to children.

“This is definitely one of the most

popular days at the market,” Package said.

The Saturday Market’s next special event is Hawaiian Day, which will be July 21. That’s when market vendors dress up and decorate their booths, with a prize going to the best Hawaiian booth display, Package said.

Elias Ka’uhane, which plays a mix of contemporary and traditional Hawaiian music, will provide entertainment from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with members from the Melelani Hula Studio performing traditional hula dances from noon to 2 p.m.

David Marion Barnhart died Saturday June 30, 2012 at home in Redmond, Washington surrounded by his “tribe”, family, and numerous friends and loved ones after a brief struggle with cancer.

David was born August 13, 1952 at Kadlec Hospital in Richland, Washington and grew up the Seattle/Woodinville area attending Woodinville and Cottage Lake Elementary schools, and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Lake City.

David’s early years were spent on Hollywood Hill, a rural area of Woodinville, where he and his brother, Bryan, became capable horsemen belonging to the Gold Creek Cavalry and riding in parades, drills, and other shows. He was taught to love the outdoors by his father, Walter, spending much time hiking and camping.

Later David moved to Yakima and attended West Valley Junior High and High School, Ellensburg High School, moved to Bellingham and attended Nooksack High School before enlisting in the Army and going to Vietnam.

David enlisted in the Army in 1970 and served his country in Vietnam as an aircraft crew chief earning numerous distinctions including Sharpshooter, and Good Conduct Medal and was honorably discharged. Upon his discharge he briefly attended Yakima Valley College.

David began his woodcarving career in Yakima and then migrated to Orcas Island where he lived for 10 years. He attended sweat lodges and has many surviving friends who loved him there. His carvings populate the island.

David was known to most people who knew him in Redmond as “Woodcarver” and was a gifted and accomplished artist with numerous works in both residential and commercial settings.

Woodcarver was however much more than an artist. He also served many who sought him out for personal and spiritual advice on many different levels. He became a part of a circle known as the “Tribe” who along with his wife Cheryl never left his side during his last struggle, providing for all his needs up until the end. His family is grateful for the sacrifices of this amazing Tribe and the comfort they provided during this difficult and painful time for us all.

On December 21, 2010 David married Cheryl Parrish who survives him. He is also survived by his parents Walter and Pauline Barnhart of Yuma, Arizona, brother Bryan Barnhart of Yakima, ex-wife Ruth Barnhart of Yakima, son Cory Barnhart of Maui Hawaii, daughter and son-in-law UNITARIAN Nicole and CJ Dobbins of PRESBYTERIAN Mountlake Terrace, and grandchildren Odin and Rhiannon Dobbins of Mountlake Terrace.

Rememberances to Evergreen Hospice.

Snohomish counties.

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care volunteers provide comfort and support to patients and families living with terminal illness in homes, skilled-nursing facilities, assisted-living facilities and adult family homes and at the hospice center.

Priscilla Wiest is one such volunteer, having worked in every aspect of the EvergreenHealth hospice program since 2005.

“The experience you have with the patients and their families during this transition time in their lives is very much a learning process for the volunteer and the patient. It doesn’t have to be

a sad time, rather, it’s often a time of reflection,” she said. “Every day I volunteer, I learn something new and that keeps my mind open to learning new things in the future. The staff are also so appreciative of the time you spend with the patients.”

Hospice volunteering runs in Wiest’s family.

Her 87-year-old mother is also an EvergreenHealth Hospice Care volunteer and her sister volunteers at a hospice center in Vermont.

“Many times a patient will be amazed that someone is coming to see them for no other reason than that they care about them,” said EvergreenHealth Hospice Care volunteer coordinator Criss East. “To know that you matter to someone really has a positive impact.”

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care has many available opportunities for Eastside

community members to join the Wiests and the rest of the hospice volunteers, including roles such as: • Visiting with patients at either the hospice center or in the patient’s home • Calling patients at home to make sure they’re “tucked in” for the weekend • Providing brief respite care for families • Greeting and guiding hospice center visitors • Assisting with volunteer training • Serving comfort items such as blankets for patients Hospice Care volunteers must be at least 18 years old and are asked for a one-year commitment of up to four hours per week.

To learn more, visit the volunteer pages of the EvergreenHealth website at www. evergreenhealth.com or contact East at (425) 899-1049 or cmeast@evergreenhealth.com.
