‘Festival of Joy’ lights up city Popular annual event highlights Indian culture, connects community JOSHUA CHIN For the Reporter

The drum beat heavily and a cheery voice pierced the airwaves. At noon last Saturday, the sound of the Nasankeerthana Mandali band kicked off the second day of the third annual Anandamela festival on the Ganga (main) Stage.

Thousands of guests showed up over the three-day event held at the Redmond City Hall campus. Some people whispered, others laughed loudly as they roamed through the market.

“Festival Anandamela means a festival

of joy,” said volunteer Madhava Chandra Dasa. “So we want to share happiness with everyone, not just limited to Indians.”

This year, around 80 booths were set up. There were children’s favorites — ice cream and cotton candy stands were crowded with delighted young faces. Other booths offered traditional fare such as Chole Bhature, spicy peas with fried bread, and Pav Bhaj, which are baked, buttered breads. A line also formed behind the Bombay Chaat, which served popular street snacks such as Pani Puri.

“Redmond City Hall is a lovely campus, highly suited for an outdoor festival,”

said artistic director Latha Sambamurti.

“The location, facilities, staff support and the overall atmosphere we get at the Redmond City Hall cannot be beaten.”

One of the popular booths, “Wrap a Saree,” offered visitors a chance to try on the traditional Indian women’s garb.

According to owner Sangeeta Munoth, some saris are made specifically for very fancy events, while others are for casual occasions. Lighter materials such as cotton sateen are a favorite in tropical areas, while silk saris are preferred during the winter. [ more FESTIVAL page 10 ]

Waste Management and Teamsters Local 117, the union for the company’s recycling truck drivers, reached an unexpected agreement late Wednesday evening, ending an eight-day strike.

The move puts garbage haulers, who are represented by a different Teamsters local, but honored the strikers’ picket line, back to work on Redmond streets Thursday. The unexpected agreement comes just one day after Waste Management announced that it would hire replacement drivers for its services in King and Snohomish counties.

“We are extremely pleased that we reached an agreement on a new contract that delivers a solid compensation package to our hardworking and professional drivers”, said Robin Freedman, spokesperson for Waste Management. “Although regular drivers will be back on their routes (today) it will take time to fully recover from this unfortunate situation. We appreciate the community’s patience during this time.” [ more AGREEMENT page 10 ]

City Council extends moratorium on marijuana collective gardens BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

The Redmond City Council unanimously approved to extend the temporary ban of medical marijuana collective gardens in Redmond by another six months, after no one commented at Tuesday’s public hearing at City Hall.

With council members Pat Vache and John Stilin not present at the meeting, the council voted 5-0 to extend the moratorium on the collective gardens by an additional six months as city officials await the outcome of November’s vote on legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

Late last year, the council approved the first six-month moratorium on marijuana collective gardens to give city staff time to study the grayarea state law concerning collective gardens and the impacts they could have on the community before recommending any type of regulations.

Current state law allows marijuana collective gardens for up to 10 qualifying medical patients to organize and form a collective cannabis garden containing up to 15 plants per person and a cap total of 45 plants.

In November, state residents will vote on a measure to legalize marijuana for recreational use.

redmond-reporter.com

The November election will hopefully provide some clarity to the state law so Redmond can institute rules and regulations for marijuana collective gardens in the city, according to Council Vice President Hank Margeson.

“We extended the moratorium to allow us more time to study the issue and to see what comes from the November election,” Margeson said. “We had hoped that the Legislature would provide us clearer direction during the last short session and when it wasn’t resolved we realized we needed more time to develop a policy for community gardens.

Our hope is that with some clarity from the November election, we’ll be in a better position to determine how best to resolve this issue for Redmond.”

with the school year, summer is the prime time to catch up on relaxation and take a break from the rigor of balancing numerous classes, alongside piles of homework, tests and what not.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that we have an abundance of free time, but it’s definitely a change. A good type of change. As cliché as it may sound, summer is the ideal time to step out of your comfort zone, try new things and discover more.

After assessing my summer so far, amidst all the good memories and loads of sunshine, I realized that the perfect way to conclude this summer is to make the last month count.

Something that I personally will be taking on this month is a 30-day challenge. I’ve set up various goals (yes, almost like a bucket list) for myself on what I want to accomplish these last 30 days.

These goals range from places I want to see, what I plan to accomplish with my writing and what I want to do. Although you’ve probably heard of this idea before, I highly encourage you to do something similar, because the possibilities are endless and if you take your plan seriously, August can turn into a rewarding and well spent month. Whether it ranges from daily exercise plans to those things that you’re determined to get done this summer, I wish you luck in your endeavors and hope you enjoy the last month of your summer.

Seize the day and make the most out of every moment!

Meet the four candidates for state auditor 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.

Since 1992, Washington voters have consistently tapped former Pierce County clerk Brian Sonntag to serve as auditor – the official responsible for auditing the state’s public accounts. But earlier this year, Sonntag announced that he had decided to retire after completing his fifth term, prompting three state lawmakers and a former congressional candidate to launch campaigns to succeed him.

The field consists of Democrats Craig Pridemore, Mark Miloscia, and Troy Kelley, along with Republican James Watkins. Two of the four candidates face elimination on Aug. 7; the other two will move on to the November general election.

Here is a quick introduction to each

of the candidates.

Watkins is a business development consultant and former senior corporate planner with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). He is the only Republican in the race. Last cycle, he unsuccessfully challenged Jay Inslee in the old 1st Congressional District, receiving 42 percent of the vote.

He had planned on running for Congress again this year, but withdrew in favor of John Koster several months ago and ultimately filed for the position of auditor after Sonntag announced his retirement. He lists his priorities as identifying and promoting ways to increase productivity and reduce costs, fighting fraud and abuse, and being a champion for open government. His website is www.watkinsforauditor.com.

Pridemore is the nominee of the Democratic Party for auditor and is strongly supported by the party’s grassroots core. At present, he serves as one of Washington’s 49 state senators, representing the 49th District (Vancouver area); he is the incumbent chair of the Senate’s Government Operations & Elections Committee. Prior to being elected Andrew Villeneuve

am pleased to introduce a new column that will be featured on the Redmond Reporter on a monthly basis as of now.

The Youthful Words column is a place for sharing organic ideas, thoughts, and inspirational words by and for young people. As an avid writer and involved teen in our community, my personal belief is that young people have an incredible amount to say and opening windows of opportunity for them to share these words with the rest of the world is immensely important.

That said, the idea for this column grew out of my hope that it would serve the purpose of sharing these words with the rest of the Redmond community so that they may be heard. This column will be open up to any young person who has a short story, poem or powerful message that they would like to share. Anyone interested in featuring their work here can submit their work to christinmd@gmail.com, alongside a brief bio and a headshot.

Because we’re approximately at the mid-point of our summer, I wanted to share a brief message about my personal take on the beauty of summer and how I think you can maximize this last month of the season to your full potential.

to the Legislature, Pridemore served as a Clark County Commissioner and was the finance manager for the Clark County Department of Public Works, giving him a unique appreciation and understanding of how both local and state government operate. He lists his priorities as promoting long-term reform and efficiency in an era of diminishing revenues, making public services more effective in order to maximize value to taxpayers, and seeking results, not headlines. His website is www.craigpridemore.com.

Miloscia currently represents Washington’s 30th Legislative District as one of its two state representatives. A U.S. Air Force veteran, he worked as the Director of Goodwill Industrial Services in Tukwila prior to his election to the Legislature. In 2005, he sponsored legislation authorizing the state auditor’s office to conduct performance audits of state agencies. He serves on the State Government & Tribal Affairs Committee in the House, as well as the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee, like Senator Craig Pridemore. He lists his priorities as restoring voter trust, making Washington the most efficient and effective state in the

nation, improving oversight and outcomes, and citizen input into audit selection. His website is www. markmiloscia.com.

Kelley is a lawmaker, small business owner, and former instructor at the U.S. Army’s JAG School. He was first elected to the state House in 2006, a year when Democrats built strong majorities in both houses of the Legislature, and still represents the 28th District (Pierce County). From 2009 to 2011, he chaired the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee, and has also served as vice chair of the House’s Financial Institutions Committee. Kelley previously served as an audit team leader at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He continues to serve Washington’s National Guard as a JAG lieutenant colonel. He lists his priorities as defending fiscal integrity and ensuring our tax dollars are used as wisely as possible. His website is www.troykelley.com.

Lake Washington School District receives nearly $14 million from state for construction projects The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) has received about $13.82 million in state funding for capital construction.

The state funding is part of $213 million in capital construction money approved and released to school districts throughout the state.

The Legislature made these funds available for school construction, as approved by the governor.

LWSD successfully applied for state funding to help with the cost of four school construction projects that are part of the district’s modernization program. Ten schools are slated for modernization in the

second of four phases that will ensure that district schools are updated every 30 to 40 years. A $436 million bond measure passed by voters in 2006 funds most of the cost of updating these 10 buildings.

The four school projects that received the state funds are: • Alexander Graham Bell Elementary School in Kirkland - $3,105,337 • Benjamin Rush Elementary School in Redmond - $2,661,490 • Rose Hill/Stella Schola Middle Sshools in Redmond - $5,301,313 • International Community School/Community School in Kirkland - $2,761,777

These four projects are the last to be completed in this phase of modernization. All four have begun construction and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2013.

Three other schools – Muir Elementary, Keller Elementary and Sandburg Elementary/Discovery Community school, all in Kirkland – are now being completed in preparation for opening in September 2012.

Two Great Organizations Dedicated to Helping Kids

In a perfect world every habitatekc.org child would be happy and Unfortunately, vailablehealthy. home will be ADA accessible. the real are world doesn’tto apply. with disabilities encouraged work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But fortunately, many of those young people who have health issues have two premiere northwest institutions to turn to for some of the best pediatric care in the country. They are Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon. QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities of the month for August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to advance new treatments.

Children’s Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless of race, religion, gender or a family’s ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million in uncompensated care in 2011.

It has consistently been ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Children’s

consists of three organizations, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Children’s Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a staff of over 1,200 professionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000 patient visits, including visits to off-site clinics. Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds of diseases and disorders in fields such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland and is now affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in several communities

around the state of Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington. Like Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is quickly translated into new treatments. Specific areas of research include cardiology,

neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.

Both Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital believe that children should have compassionate, family-centered care. Both are at the

forefront of pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the

48TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT, POS. 2: HANK MYERS

Myers aims to improve education and government efficiency BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Hank Myers is getting quite a workout these days as he advocates for improving education and government efficiency in his bid for state office.

Myers, a Republican who is serving his second term on the Redmond City Council, has spent his afternoons and evenings riding his bike from door to door, campaigning for Pos. 2 of the 48th Legislative District, which includes parts of Redmond. He has pedaled his way throughout the district — where he has lived for the last 37 years — visiting more than 3,100 homes, talking to constituents and stressing the importance of education and budgeting reform for state government.

Myers, who describes himself as a fiscally conservative, socially moderate politician, said his top

priority is improving public EDUCATION, BUDGETING education. A big issue

BY PRIORITIES Myers has heard during his In addition to enrolling bicycle door belling is that their children in private many parents have enrolled schools, Myers said many their children in private parents tell him they are schools because of the lack using tutorial services like Hank Myers of classroom funding in Dartmoor and Kumon bepublic schools.

committee of the Bellevue School District, said in order adequately fund education, the state’s budgeting process must be reformed.

“We need to shrink the rest of the general budget, which has grown,” he said. Meanwhile, funding for education has shrunk.

One way to improve education funding is to improve efficiency through technology, he said.

“The use of technology could enhance education,” said Myers, who has lectured at the university level. “We have two excellent tech companies in the 48th District — Microsoft and Google. The less we spend on other things, the more we can spend on education.”

Myers is a big advocate of Budgeting by Priorities (BP) — a financial strategy the City of Redmond adopted in 2008 when Myers was first elected to the Redmond City Council. He said the state needs to adopt a priorities-

based budgeting approach that is predicated on public input and eliminates partisan politics.

Former Gov. Gary Locke instituted a priority-based approach to budgeting for the state 10 years ago, but current Gov. Chris Gregoire switched back to a more traditional process, where cuts and additions are made using the baseline of the previous budget. A priority budgeting approach uses a zero baseline and funds items that citizens value most.

Myers said BP has worked well in Redmond and it “reduces leadership power and politics.”

“We are looking at services we want to provide not weather we are Democrat or Republican or whose idea it was,” Myer said. “A side benefit of budgeting by priorities is that it lowers the tension to come up with partisan solutions.” [ more MYERS page 8 ]

new to politics. He has worked as an intern for U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and, while studying comparative literature at Columbia University in New York, he interned for U.S. Sen. Hilary Clinton. His first day with Clinton’s office was three days after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Habib, an Iranian American, said this was a very intense time to work for a U.S. senator.

“I spent most of that time helping businesses and individuals relocate (from lower Manhattan to other areas of New York),” he said, adding that this experience gave him insight into how public officials can help the public. [ more HABIB page 9 ]

Like him, he said many of the people he spoke with were concerned about Washington’s education system.

Habib said he also wants to address transportation, including the congestion on Interstate 405.

He said it is important to invest in projects and services such as link light rail and RapidRide because they are vital to the state’s 21st century transportation grid.

Cyrus Habib was 8 years old when he first learned to advocate for himself.

A second round of retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer, had just taken the last of his eyesight and his freedom at recess. He was forced to play close to the school playground monitors because officials at Stevenson Elementary School in Bellevue didn’t want him to get hurt.

“This was hugely demoralizing to me,” said Habib, who now lives in Kirkland.

Using this method, the City of Redmond has established a stable budget and council members get along collegially as they put together a financial plan that reflects the priorities of the citizens, Myers said.

Before retiring in 2010, Myers for 20 years was the principal consultant for MTC, a transportation consulting firm. His clients ranged from small, rural airlines in Alaska to Microsoft, where he organized its award-winning commutetrip reduction program.

In addition to his professional work in transportation, Myers was appointed to leadership positions on three Metro Transit Citizen Sounding Boards assessing Eastside bus service.

Myers provided a list of endorsements, which included Sammamish Mayor Tom O’Dell and Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee. Myers’ endorsement list also includes several Eastside city council members and three King County council members, including Jane Hague, Kathy Lambert and Reagan Dunn.

Throughout his professional and civic career, Myers said he has worked hard to “provide the most effective and efficient use of funds” — something he hopes to bring to Olympia.

www.redmond-reporter.com [ HABIB from page 7] Habib also has been part of a movement to make U.S. currency accessible to the blind and testified before Congress on the issue. He said other countries’ currencies can be differentiated tactilely — whether by different-sized bills, with Braille or other methods. Habib noted that 70 percent of the country’s working-age blind population is unemployed and part of this is due to the fact that many entry-level jobs require the ability to differentiate among bills.

For Habib, this experience showed him there are pockets of injustice in areas that often go unnoticed, but still affect a lot of people.

“I believe my perspective will be new to Olympia,” he said.

KEEPING STARTUPS IN WASHINGTON

After graduating from Columbia, Habib received a Rhodes Scholarship and

studied English literature at the University of Oxford in England. He then followed his mother’s footsteps and attended law school at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. He said he chose Yale Law School because it has a real commitment to public service and produces well-rounded lawyers who understand the role of the law in society.

Habib is in his fourth year as an attorney at Perkins Coie, a law firm based in Bellevue.

He works in the firm’s business practice and focuses on emerging companies, licensing and technology and corporate governance and transactions.

He mostly works with startups, largely in the high-tech industry.

Habib, whose father is an engineer at Boeing, said his job has given him insight to what the state can do to encourage and promote startups in Washington so they don’t leave for Silicon Valley, Austin or elsewhere in the country.

Expect delays as grinding begins on Redmond Way Overlay project

SUPPORT FROM OTHERS

Since Habib filed for candidacy he has raised $187,393 for his campaign and spent $135,081, according to the state’s Public Disclosure Commission (PDC). He said his campaign has held a few fundraising events, but much of the money has been raised online.

Habib’s endorsements include Cantwell, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee. Locally, he has been endorsed by King County Executive Dow Constantine, the mayors of Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland and a number of city council members from each jurisdiction.

He said the endorsements from the city mayors, 48th Legislative District Rep. Ross Hunter (Pos. 1) and 48th Legislative District Sen. Rodney Tom as well as the League of Education Voters have been the most meaningful ones he has received.

Grinding operations for the Redmond Way Overlay Maintenance Project were tentatively scheduled to begin Thursday morning.

Grinding will affect eastbound lanes of Redmond Way through Saturday, Aug. 4 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Westbound lanes will be affected beginning Monday, Aug. 6 through Wednesday Aug. 8th from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Motorists can expect delays through the corridor during grinding operations and are encouraged to use alternate routes.

Paving is tentatively scheduled to take place beginning Saturday Aug. 11 and Saturday Aug. 18.

All grinding and paving operations are dependent on traffic and weather conditions. Construction contingencies may impact operations and durations.

In addition, work by the City of Kirkland on the corridor west of

132nd Ave N.E. — with emphasis on the intersection of N.E. 85th Street and 132nd Ave. N.E. — will result in further congestion along the route.

The Redmond Way Overlay project will repair and resurface approximately 1.8 miles of worn and damaged pavement running east of 132nd Ave N.E. to Bear Creek Parkway. This work is the first significant maintenance project for this stretch of Redmond Way since 1994. The city assumed control of the road from the State in 2010.

For the latest traffic and construction alerts, check out the city’s Twitter feed at #redmondalerts. Significant lane closures and construction activity will be posted on 1650 AM, Redmond Community radio as well as on the city’s homepage www. redmond.gov.

[ FESTIVAL from page 1] “This booth brings India closer,” said Munoth. “We want people outside of our community to come, get to know our culture and become one amongst us.”

In addition, a booth aimed at children called “Things Indian” featured alphabet charts, Indian comics and festival beads.

Interactivity was also a big theme this year.

Chess tables were set up for kids to compete against each other and an inflatable bouncy house enabled youngsters to let off steam.

“When children are given a good environment to grow and nourish, they grow up and become good citizens,” said Nanda Suta Das, director of the Vedic Cultural Center. “So education, culture and values go hand in hand throughout this festival.”

Beside the booths, clowns roamed around the market performing tricks and a magician pulled out a ladder out of his briefcase to entertain the

guests.

For adults, there was a cooking contest. Fifteen participants brought traditionally prepared dishes famous in their regions, to be rated by a panel of judges. The dishes were strictly vegetarian; eggs,

garlic and onion were also prohibited. The winner will later be announced, receiving new cookbooks or recipes as prizes.

The event was sponsored by the Vedic Cultural Center.

Volunteers divided the booths into three categories: food, philosophy and children’s activities. Performances were held on two different stages, the Yamuna (secondary) Stage in addition to the Ganga Stage.

“People are learning more about each other and becoming more tolerant,” said Das. At a certain point, girls from age 4 to 7 took to the center stage dressed in saris for a synchronized dance. Some seemed to have forgotten the moves and some continued by copying their neighbors. Nevertheless, the crowd cheered on, infatuated by their energy.

For more information and ideas for future Anandamela festivals, visit www.anandamela.org.

Officials cautioned that some collection times may vary from the normal schedule. No details were released about the new contract.

Teamsters voted 109-14 Thursday morning in favor of the new six-year contract, according to KOMO news.

Waste Management announced that garbage drivers will return to work Thursday morning and begin servicing their regular Thursday collection routes. However, due to the timing of the ratification vote, recycling and yard waste collection will be limited.

“Teamster drivers work hard and deserve fair compensation for the important work that they perform,” announced Tracey Thompson, secretary treasurer for Teamster Local 117.

“We are pleased to have negotiated a contract that recognizes the professionalism of our members.”

Redmond Mayor John Marchione was also pleased.

“I’m glad to know they ratified the contract,” he told the Reporter Thursday. “I don’t know what triggered the solution, but I’m glad there is a solution.”

Marchione said Redmond residents can put out all their accumulated gar-

bage for pickup at no extra charge. He added that full pickup of waste, including recycling and food waste “won’t hit full stride until next Monday.”

At issue was the contract between the company and its recycle and yard waste collectors. The workers went on strike on July 25. Garbage haulers, who are represented by Teamsters Local 174, refused to cross the picket line, resulting in very limited service for Redmond businesses and no service for residents.

Waste Management delivered its last contract offer to the union on June 6, which proposed wage and benefit increases averaging more than 4 percent per year. Mediation between the union and company ended on June 14, after the parties failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the contract that expired on May 31. But a confidential meeting between the parties’ lead negotiators Wednesday night led to a tentative agreement, which was approved by drivers Thursday morning.

In total, Waste Management recycling and yard waste drivers service 220,000 customers in the Puget Sound region, including Redmond.

Teen center program coordinator to leave position and move to New York BILL CHRISTIANSON bchristianson@redmond-reporter.com

Chris Cullen, who helped organize the Old Fire House Teen Center’s popular annual Rockathon, is leaving his job as the teen center’s program coordinator to move to New York.

Cullen, 45, said he will miss all the people he worked with, especially the kids.

“I’m gonna miss the kids a lot,” he said. “Kids are No. 1. It’s their say that shapes and sculpts the program.

It’s their volunteer work that helped create some of the programs that made the place what it is today.”

Cullen’s last day is Saturday, marking the end of a seven-year run as the teen center’s director. In his second year at the teen center, he collaborated with then-teen Andrew Lawrence to create the annual Rockathon, a teen battle of the bands event that draws hundreds of fans each year.

“He has created successful programs like Rockathon that have engaged teens

But when he saw an opening in Redmond for the program coordinator at the teen center in 2005, he jumped at the opportunity.

“I missed working with kids and I heard about a job opening here so I applied

for it,” he said.

Now seven years later, Cullen is starting a new chapter in his life as he will move to Rochester, New York to be with his wife, Karen Mahardy, a glass sculptor who is finishing her graduate studies at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Wong said there is no set timeline for Cullen’s replacement as the teen center will continue to offer

innovative, educational programs for teens.

“We have an opportunity to re-evaluate that position and bring in some new energy with new ideas,” Wong said. “What we always try to strive for is staying as current to the trends or just ahead of trends as we can so we will be looking for a person with that energy and insight.”

...TODAY’S parent Top five back-to-school organizing tips The start of a new school year is like a fresh box of crayons - full of possibilities.

Ginny Bean, mother of three and publisher of Ginny’s catalog, suggests families take advantage of this clean slate by establishing some new organizing routines.

Think ahead. Mornings are chaotic in most households with schoolaged children. Consider handling as many daytime preparations as possible the night before. Lay out clothes. Pack lunches. Set out the breakfast dishes and cereal. Pack backpacks.

Bean suggests making systems kid-friendly, so young helpers can feel

involved, and save mom some time in the process.

“Carve out a spot on a lower shelf of the pantry for lunch boxes and lunchmaking supplies. Then make children responsible for putting away their empty lunch boxes at the end of the school day, or even packing their own lunch.”

Tackle school paperwork. Make a habit of sorting through children’s backpacks with them the same day they come home.

Allot time after school, when you arrive home from work, or after dinner, depending on your family’s schedule. Use a tiered letter sorter or filing system with designated slots for each child’s papers,

and an “A.S.A.P.” space for teachers’ notes, permission slips and anything else that requires immediate attention.

For schoolwork and artwork you want to keep, try a two-step approach. First, purge unwanted items as soon as they come in the door. Collect the possible keepers in a storage bin or wheeled cart with color-coded drawers that allow for easy separation by child or project type.

Go through stored items at regular intervals, perhaps once a month or once a quarter. Keep in mind, the more you accumulate, the easier it will be to pare down, as the best pieces will stand out from the crowd.

Designate a homework spot. Decide on the best spot in your home to set up homework central.

Take into consideration how involved you need to be with homework and your child’s style. Does he focus better with people around or in a private setting? Is he better suited to sit at a desk or curled up in a favorite chair with a laptop cart?

Once you have a place picked out, gather together handy homework tools and supplies into a nearby bin, drawer or cabinet.

Stock up on age-appropriate supplies such as pens, pencils, erasers, paper, crayons, markers, a ruler, dictionary, calculator and a pencil sharpener.

Create a communication hub. Include the family calendar, a chalk or bulletin board for posting messages and reminders, a binder for key documents, colored markers, pens and pencils. If you’re a visual person, consider color coding your calendar by assigning each family member a different color.

Remember not to forget.

Use wall hooks and baskets or bins near the front door to corral the items you need to remember each day: backpacks, books, lunches, gym shoes, sports equipment and musical instruments.

genetic susceptibility.

Anxiety may also be a learned behavior, since a parent’s ability to handle stress influences the child to react to certain situations in the same way.

As a parent, it’s important to recognize anxious behavior in your child.

Some warning signs include severe shyness, sleeping or eating problems, excessive worrying, or compulsive (repetitive) behaviors.

If your child exhibits one or more of these signs, you can try to help overcome the fears which lead to his or her anxious behavior. One tip is to acknowledge your child’s worries and encourage a discussion about the issue.

Avoid telling any child not to worry, as the fear will not go away on its own, nor simply

PARENTING LIFELINE

W

hile the cause of excessive anxiety in kids is uncertain, research suggests there may be a genetic component. Scientists have found that a particular genetic variation related to introverted personalities also involves the processing of fear and anxiety. Does this mean that anxious parents will have anxious children? It may, but not always.

Environment plays a big role in the manifestation and severity of anxiety— as much or even more than genes. For example, children who experience many changes in their lives or who do not have a secure attachment to a parental figure may develop anxious responses, even without a

Food Truck Corral offers variety of options Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

For anyone looking for something new at lunch, the Redmond Food Truck Corral (RFTC) downtown offers a variety of quick choices for hungry diners.

From gourmet hot dogs and American fare to Caribbean cuisine and barbecue, lunchers can try something different almost every weekday at a single location in the parking lot of Redmond Auto Detail at 15904 Bear Creek Pkwy., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The RFTC came together at the end of May and beginning of June when Jerk Station owner Michael Cunningham was finishing up a contract with Microsoft Corp. One of the company’s cafeterias was being renovated and he was on campus to provide a dining alternative during construction.

As the renovation came closer to completion, Cunningham needed a new location to park his truck.

“We were invited to the neighborhood by one of the employees in the Riverpark office building,” he said, referring to the building located across the street from Redmond Auto Detail.

Cunningham said three other trucks were invited along with his: Happy Grillmore, CurryNow and Pai’s.

The trucks initially parked on the street but as traffic increased in the area, he said that was becoming an unreliable option.

So Cunningham approached Paul Thomas, the owner of Redmond Auto Detail, and asked if the trucks could use his parking lot.

Thomas agreed.

Thomas said he understood Cunningham’s efforts to establish his small business in Redmond and wanted to help a fellow

Laura Orella, an operator for the G & G Dogs food cart, prepares a hot dog during a recent lunch hours. G & G Dogs is one of many food carts in operation at the parking lot of Redmond Auto Detail at 15904 Bear Creek Pkwy. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter businessman.

“I know how hard it is to run a small business,” Thomas said.

Thomas said Cunningham and the rest of the food trucks are welcome in his parking lot for as long as they want to be there and had nothing but good things to say about Cunningham’s efforts.

“He’s doing a good job,” Thomas said. “He’s really on top of it. He’s putting together a good thing.”

In addition to the RFTC, Cunningham has helped organized the Daytona Laguna Food Truck Corral just off of 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 31st Street.

Cunningham said all of the trucks are properly licensed to operate and don’t require any additional per-

mitting to park in the detailing shop’s parking lot. He said once the food trucks receive permission to be at a location, there may be some stipulations by the brickand-mortar businesses on site such as adding their names to insurance policies, but that’s about it.

“We’re all accustomed to working on private property,” Cunningham said.

“It’s pretty straight forward.”

He said since the RFTC arrived in the neighborhood, things have been a bit slow to pick up because it’s not one of the busier areas of downtown, but business is slowly picking up and he even has a few regulars. Because of this, Cunningham said it’s been challenging trying to maintain a consistent lineup of trucks.

“From week to week, it

varies,” he said.

Currently, the RFTC’s typical weekly lineup is G&G Dogs on Tuesday, Skillet and La Barriga Llena on Wednesday, Jerk Station and My Chef Lynn on Thursday and Buns on Friday.

“I’ve tried all of (the food trucks),” Thomas said.

“They’re all great in their different way.”

In addition, he said while it is difficult to tell, it is possible Redmond Auto Detail has provided the food trucks some business, as well, from their customers who have come to get their cars detailed during the lunch hour.

Cunningham said he hopes to get a consistent lineup Monday through Friday so people will begin to associate the location with food trucks. He said he

wants different trucks each day instead of one permanent truck at the location because it gives people a variety of choices. This also gives people an incentive to stop by if they know a particular truck will only be there on a specific day.

G&G Dogs cart operators Courtney King and Laura Orella agreed. They said people are more likely to stop by if they know a truck won’t be there the next day.

Also like Cunningham, King, who has been working the RFTC since it began, said things started out slow but they do have some regulars now. She said most are people who work in the surrounding businesses or live in the nearby apartments.

“It’s been really nice,” King said.

Phyllis Varjian, a Trilogy resident who is helping to promote the food drive by designing the fliers, said the food drive is about connecting the community for a good cause.

“We want to fuel kids up so they have a hunger for education, a hunger for knowledge rather than a hungry stomach,” Varjian said.

Boll, who can barely walk and gets around on her red scooter, or “go-cart” as she calls it, helped organize a Trilogy food drive in 2009 that garnered more than 18,000 pounds of food and $2,700. This year, she was prompted to do another food drive from her fellow Trilogy neighbors, but this time she wanted to do something even bigger.

With the help of other volunteers, Boll reached out to the seven other Redmond Ridge communities to make

this year’s food drive bigger and better than ever.

Boll said she can relate with families not having food on the table.

“I grew up, at times, a poor family so I know what it is like not to have food,” said Boll, who grew up in the Northwest. “I can totally relate to families and children without food. One time all I ate was potatoes for a month … just potatoes and water.”

Besides helping the hungry, Boll said she wanted the Redmond Ridge food drive to be a charitable example for other communities.

“With this massive food drive, we can show other communities it can be done,” said Boll. “It’s an amazing feeling to be able to help others.”

For more information, contact Boll at (425) 8364315 or email mollyboll@ comcast.net.

Word of Mouth

by Dr. Adam Cramer

STOMACH ACID CAN DAMAGE TEETH

Chronic heartburn not only poses a problem for the stomach and esophagus, but it can also have a damaging effect on teeth. According to a study of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), almost half of the people suffering from the condition were found to have tooth wear and erosion that was significantly worse than healthy individuals. Over time, the acid that leaks into the esophagus may work its way into the mouth and cause tooth enamel to thin and become pitted. The damage caused by stomach acid appears much like common tooth wear, with tooth flattening, sharpening, or cupping. Because enamel is gone for good once it disappears, it is important to get GERD under control.

P.S. People who suffer from binge-and-purge eating disorders are very likely to show signs of serious tooth erosion.

Is chronic heartburn one of your worries? If you have dental concerns as a result, we invite you to call us at 425.641.4111. We have an abundance of innovative dental technologies available and we deliver the highest quality and comfort of care.

are uniting to help feed the hungry with a “Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive” Aug. 23.

“It’s for the children and their families — to stock their cupboards before school,” said Boll, the food drive’s coordinator. “The idea is to let these people without jobs know that there are other neighbors who really do care and want to help.”

Hopelink is a Redmondbased social services organization that has a number of food banks on the Eastside, including in Redmond and Kirkland.

With the help of nearly 100 volunteers, the goal of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive is to reach out to the 4,000-plus Redmond Ridge residents and collect 30,000 pounds of food and deliver the donations to Hopelink food banks in Carnation, Redmond and Kirkland, Boll said.

On Thursday, Aug. 23, residents can bring their donations to the Redmond Ridge QFC, located at 23475 N.E. Novelty Hill Rd., from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In addition, food drive volunteers have distributed donation jars to local businesses with the hopes of raising $10,000 for a

children’s milk fund for Hopelink.

Bonnie Lambing, who lives in the Reunion at Redmond Ridge Apartments, distributed the donation jars to all of the businesses in the QFC shopping center and said all of the businesses have been “very enthusiastic” about helping to raise money for hungry children.

Hopelink’s End Summer Hunger campaign brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide low-income families with food for their children during the summer months when school is not in session.

During school, many of the children from these families are eligible for free or reduced lunches, but those lunches are not offered during the summer months. As a way to help the hungry during the summer, Hopelink created its End Summer Hunger campaign, which last year raised $181,439 along with thousands of pounds of food.

To help get the word out about the Redmond Ridge food drive, volunteers will be at the QFC in the coming days, passing out flyers about the food drive event. In addition, QFC will have a store display encouraging shop-

Spang describes his music as bluegrass or country western and although he is no longer writing or composing, he now plays in a band called Just Reminiscing, which he formed six or seven years ago with other musicians he met through the RSC. Before starting the band, Spang had taken a break from music for about 40 years — after he wrote all of his songs — as his previous band had broken up and he had just gotten married. He said he had planned to write more music, but it never happened.

“With a new house and everything, I never had the time,” he said.

Spang admitted he was wary to pick up his guitar again since it had been so long, but that uncertainty disappeared as he began enjoying himself again.

“I love it,” he said about playing. [ more SPANG page 19 ]

Spang said an even more special moment came with one of the first times he performed “Waters” in his daughter’s first-grade class.

Spang only spent two days in the classroom — one to rehearse and one to perform — but said his daughter recently attended a school reunion and met a man who was in that first-grade class and still remembers all the words to the song.

“That’s 50 years later,” he said.

has helped them continue this when he filled in with the group on his guitar accompaniment.

“He’s been a great help to the chorus,” she said.

So far “Waters” is the only song Spang has shared with the chorus, but he said that may soon change.

“I imagine before long I’ll introduce them to another one,” he said.

Just Reminiscing initially practiced in Kirkland before they came to the RSC four or five years ago and their membership has grown from three to about 10.

Just Reminiscing practices once a week at the RSC and Spang said they will occasionally perform at other senior centers in the area.

“What we really do in here is jam,” he said.

Spang said people would come into Just Reminiscing rehearsals, which is how he started working with the Redmond Senior Chorus.

The group’s pianist left about three years ago, and while they waited for a new pianist to come on board, they asked Spang to fill in for the meantime.

“In between (pianists), Ken helped us with the guitar,” said chorus member Ortrud Niami.

Niami has enjoyed working with Spang these last few years and said Spang is “a very nice and pleasant person.”

“He always gives out a smile,” she said.

The chorus began working on “Waters” about a month ago and performed the song for the first time last week at The Creekside, an independent retirement community in Woodinville, and Niami said the performance went well.

“It’s very good,” she said about the song. “It’s very sentimental.”

Teri Burke, a recreation program coordinator for the RSC, said the Redmond Senior Chorus began as an interest group with likeminded people who wanted

to sing.

“It’s been here as long as the Redmond Senior Center has been here,” she said, adding that the RSC is more than 20 years old. “They’re having a lot of fun.”

Burke said the RSC staff tries to create opportunities for seniors to participate in as much as possible, which is how the chorus began.

In addition, she said Spang
