“Millions of people around the world look at the American flag as a symbol of hope and they want to be able to have the freedoms that we have in this country,” said Hayden, whose son, Harrison, attends the school.

In addition to listening to Hayden and the others, students participated by singing “America the Beautiful,” “America” and “God Bless America” and presenting handmade

People sang and prayed, hugged each other and cried and released 369 blue balloons to mark the amount of days Sky Metalwala had been missing as of last Saturday during a gathering at Downtown Park in Redmond.

Hope was in the air among the 65 attendees who joined Sky’s father, Solomon Metalwala, at the event.

“They came by to receive some strength that he is out there — and we will find him,” Solomon told the Reporter on Thursday morning. “It’s my job as a father to make sure that people hear about Sky day and night.

I talk to people every day about Sky. I cry with people I meet at least once a week.”

Sky, then age 2, was reported missing by his mother, Julia Biryukova,

As six veterans and one active-duty United States Army major entered the church at Faith Lutheran School of Redmond last Friday morning, the grade-school students watched in awe as the men — some wearing uniforms — were precise with each step and movement they made.

Over at the Redmond Senior Center that afternoon, a throng of veterans were among the people in the crowd who listened intently to readings (“Remembrance Day” was one) and songs sung by a chorus and played by a swing big band (“When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again” and “Armed Forces March” were two tunes).

Two different events, but both to commemorate Veterans Day, which was marked on the calendar on Nov. 11.

While Tollfeldt told his story to the students, he proudly held a framed picture of his plane.

Need help buying or selling your home?

Tom Berg • Windermere - Realtor 13901 NE 175th Street Suite 100 • Woodinville 98072 206-579-8137 tberg.withwre.com

Close to Woodinville Please call Tom for a private showing

Q/A | with Tom Berg did you get started in the real estate busines?

Q How A :

: Like most realtors, I had a previous career.

As the owner of a Landscape design and construction firm in Woodinville, I had been working with homeowners and living on the Eastside since 1979 so my career didn’t change much. I have no employees now but continue to help Eastside homeowners decide what to do with their homes which is what I’ve always enjoyed doing. When I sold the Landscape business my office simply moved across the street to Windermere in Woodinville.

Q

:

Do you work with home buyers and sellers?

A

: Yes, I work with both buyers and sellers and in fact many of my clients are both. They sell their current home since it no longer suits their needs and then I help them find a new home the does. Peoples lives change and so do their housing needs.

Q Is it a good time to buy or sell?

A :

: It’s a good time to buy since home prices are still quite low although prices seem to have stabilized and even risen in some areas and interest rates are very low. For each percentage point rates increase you can buy 10% less house so I believe that one can get their best home value by purchasing a home now. Also rentals are difficult to find and rental rates are often about what ones mortgage payment would be. I found a home for a client last year and her mortgage paynent was less than what she had been paying for rent and of course she now had her interest deduction for the IRS. Todays buyer must be dilligent since there are about 40% fewer listings than a year ago and more buyers looking.

Many homeowners are reluctant to sell now since their home is worth much less now than a few years ago but they must remember that the home they will be buying

- Wo o d i n v i l l e -

is also worth much less than it was a few years ago so now would be a great time to sell and buy the home of your dreams.

are home buyers greatest concerns today?

Q What A :

: They want good value and a house that suits their current needs but I believe their greatest concern is that the home they purchase will go down in market value and they will lose equity. In the past, buyers felt that their new home purchase was guaranteed to increase in market value and the last few years showed that this was not necessarily so. I advise my clients that homes are not a short term investment but a long term investment that will provide a home for them and their family and they should expect to be in their home for at least 5 years to have a good chance of a gain in equity. As low as prices and interest rates are today I think the odds are good that a home purchase today is a wise investment .

advice would you give to someone selling a home today?

Q What A :

: Today homes that look good and are priced right sell fast. Have a professional Real Estate Broker (I just happen to know one) advise you as to what you should do to make your home appealing to buyers. Your broker should also be able to produce a Comparitive Market Analysis to demonstrate the status of the market today. This analysis will show homes like yours on the market today as well as ones that have recently sold and even ones that were listed and never sold. Average price per square foot values should not be used to price your home. It’s important to initially list your home a the right price. Listing too high to “test the market” generally proves to be unsuccesful, and after a month or so the listing can become stale and even price drops at that point are not very successful. Take the time and effort to have your home look good, hire a professional agent to assist you, price it right and get ready to move because in todays market it should sell quickly.

can someone expect when they choose you to represent them in buying Q What or selling a home? :

A

: My best asset is that I’m a good listener. It’s the only way that I can accurately determine my clients wants, needs and desires. I aim to make this life altering experience enjoyable, simple and prosperous for my clients. I am always their strong advocate in what sometimes becomes a complicated process. I always follow through, keep my clients informed and provide solutions. I’m very proud of my many years providing solutions for homeowners.

Whats the state of the market in the Seattle area now?

Q greater A :

: The housing market varies throughout the greater Seattle area but prices seem to have stabilized for now and prices at the lower end seem to be rising. Houses that look good and are priced right are often recieving multiple offers so the buyer and their agent must be diligent in their search and ready to act quickly. There are ways for a good buyers agent to make their clients offer more appealing to sellers in multiple offer situations because it’s often not always the highest offer that wins the home. For sellers, even though the market is good they still must have their house looking good and priced right to take advantage of this sellers market. They too should be working with a good, professional agent to get the best price and sell their home quickly. With the elections coming up and Winter fast approaching I’m hoping fgor the best but really don’t know how the housing market will do in the next 6 months.

do you do when you’re not at work?

Q What A :

: I really enjoy helping people buy and sell homes but when I’m not doing that I like to golf, travel, hike (I did the coast to coast trail in England last year), tinker with and drive my old cars and trucks (8 of them from 1938 to 1965) and play with the grandkids. Life’s too short to not have fun.

After two years of work by city staff, Redmond 2030, the city’s comprehensive plan, has received a makeover.

In addition to a redesigned print version, the City of Redmond has also published an interactive version online, which people can explore to learn more about the city’s longterm vision for the future.

Redmond 2030 is available at www.redmond.gov/ compplan.

Before creating the online version of Redmond 2030, city staff had to update the entire plan. Pete Sullivan, a senior planner for the City of Redmond, said this effort was completed and adopted by City Council in December 2011.

“We’ve overhauled so many things in the city,” he said about the work.

All cities in Washing-

ton are required by state law to have a long-term comprehensive plan and the City of Redmond was the first in the state to have completed this update.

Redmond City Council’s action culminated a long and involved process that included participation by many in the community.

Sullivan said with the print version of Redmond 2030 at almost 450 pages, the digital version is easier to navigate and is compatible on multiple platforms such as computers, tablets and smart phones. He said having an online format lines up with the city’s values for the high-tech industry.

“The digital version looks and functions like a 21st century document, consistent with Redmond’s identity as an innovative, tech city,” Sullivan said.

“The goal was not only to improve the document’s appearance, but make it [ more plan page 5 ]

When Biryukova, who lived in Redmond, returned, Sky was missing. An intensive search took place, but Sky was not located.

The Bellevue Police Department (BPD) investigation is still open and active and the effort on this case has never stopped.

A BPD press release stated that while it has been hard for family members to cope with the disappearance, it is not uncommon for new information to come to light even after a year or more.

Solomon noted that he commends the police for doing all they can to find Sky and keep the case in the public eye.

“It’s a very hard case. There’s not too much evidence to find Sky,” said Solomon, a Kirkland resident.

Next week, Solomon will be among a group of people visiting the capitol building in Olympia to meet with legislators and discuss whether police officers everywhere should receive extensive training to help find missing children.

Solomon said that he has faith in the police and in God that Sky will be found.

“God is the only one who can make some light in this dark situation,” he said.

Shameful costs of our elections Humorist Will Rogers once noted that “politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.”

If he could only see it now.

Estimates put the cost of the recent presidential race at $2.6 billion. That means one side spent more than $1 billion only to lose. We’d hope there was a lesson there — but we doubt it.

If the public were to believe the unending direct mail pieces flooding mailboxes, countless robo-phone calls, and an unconscionable number of vile “hit pieces” on television, they would conclude that the best candidate for the job should have been “none of the above.” We suspect many people were sick of the whole thing weeks before Nov. 6.

The blame for a lot of this falls on the “super PACs,” collections of groups outside a politician’s direct campaign that are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. The situation actually is worse since many groups don’t have to register with the Federal Election Commission because they say they are focusing on “educational,” not “political” activities. We’re calling — well, you know — on that.

This money-grubbing situation isn’t limited to the presidential race. The cost of political campaigns nationwide is estimated to be $6 million. In our state alone, the race for governor is expected to reach a total cost of $46 million.

Despite this national effort, many voters say they don’t expect things to change

much regardless of who is elected president.

We may not get the “best candidate that money can buy,” but we’re certainly going to get one who is ridiculously expensive.

Two different reactions to the letter regarding the Redmond ‘man on the corner’ • It is so sad to hear of Dennis’ story (Reporter Nov. 9) and the many other similar stories from veterans. You will be glad to know that Imagine Housing, a nonprofit on the Eastside has seen the need and is making a difference by providing affordable housing specifically for veterans in areas near employment, transportation and services.

Andrew’s Glen and Francis Village both offer housing specifically dedicated to formerly homeless veterans. Half of the units at Andrew’s Glen are dedicated to veterans. On-site case management is available for every resident, and 100 percent of the veterans at Andrew’s Glen are utilizing the support to develop personal and financial goals, attain needed medical benefits, find employment and develop skills and tolls that will help them develop long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

The generosity of local community groups and churches has also made it possible to offer additional support to our veterans in the form of transportation, laundry funds, utilities and specialized classes.

Imagine Housing focuses on quality affordable housing, providing multi-family housing for veterans, families, single-parent families, individuals and seniors.

I have personally volunteered with Imagine for over 20 years and will continue to do so, as Imagine provides a home for so many people who could not begin to work in the areas that they live.

Thank you for sharing Dennis’ story. Housing is a basic fundamental need for everyone and our community will be better and stronger when we make affordable housing a priority.

Clare Moe, Redmond

• I found the letter about the panhandler not at all credible (Reporter Nov. 9).

Dennis’ story does not add up. Dennis claimed to have been stationed in North Korea.

North Korea has suffered under a totalitarian communist dictatorship for the last 60 years. We have no troops there. He claims that it’s harder living on the streets than being in combat. In combat, there are no free shelters, soup kitchens, food stamps, welfare, veterans benefits or other social services. There are no people driving by in their cars throwing coins or food at you. I’m certain that people yelling obscenities are preferable to bullets being shot at you or seeing your buddies maimed and killed, or the prospect of a sudden violent wounding or death.

Panhandlers survive by manipulating our tendency to be compassionate. Hard luck stories about worthy combat veterans fallen on hard times are particularly compelling. That is why you will see many male panhandlers claiming veteran status Most of them (panhandlers, not veterans), are un-employable due to substance abuse problems and/or mental health issues. It is hard to help those with problems such as these without enabling their substance abuse.

Certainly, just giving money out is not the solution. There are always jobs at the low end of the employment scale, but panhandling is much more lucrative than the $9-an-hour minimum wage, and panhandling affords the flexible hours and avoidance of sober responsibility that employment does not.

I’m offended that panhandlers will try to assume the unearned mantle of respect due our veterans in order to cage money from our more easily beguiled citizens. I spent 20 years serving in our military, it was a privilege and I would never use my service to cajole money from people.

I had some periods of homelessness, but never found it necessary to rely on others, as honest work is always available to those who are responsible, reliable, honest, sober and willing to

work rather than standing on the corner asking for handouts.

Brian Trubee, USAF Pararescue (Ret.), Redmond

Proud to be a Washingtonian In light of last week’s election results, I am so proud to be a Washingtonian! We stood with an honorable president who cares deeply for all Americans. We stood for families, friends, love and marriage. We stood for kids, creativity and a wide range of learning opportunities. And now we have one more opportunity to show our huge hearts and great friendship towards others. In the spirit of that great song from the late 1960s: “Don’t bogart that joint my friend. Pass it over to me!”

Thanks for hosting the Harlem Ambassadors On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Lake Washington Optimist Club hosted the Harlem Ambassadors professional show basketball team for a night of high-flying slam dunks, hilarious comedy and feel-good family entertainment.

The Optimist Alley-Hoops proved to be an energetic, enthusiastic and challenging team and we thank all of the players for their good sportsmanship. The event would not have been possible without the support and generosity of local community sponsors, the Lake Washington Optimist Club members and the event volunteers.

The Harlem Ambassadors thank the community of Redmond for its warm hospitality and look forward to returning to Redmond in the future!

City Council approves settlement agreement with Waste Management Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

On Nov. 6, the Redmond City Council approved a settlement agreement between the City of Redmond and Waste Management regarding the driver labor strike that disrupted garbage, recycling and yard waste service from July 25 to Aug. 2.

Per the settlement, customers will receive a one-time credit on the service portion of their Waste Management bill: $10 for single family residences and $50 for most commercial and multi-family customers.

“The city is pleased to

have reached this agreement with Waste Management in a manner that was fast and fair,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

Waste Management spokesperson Robin Freedman added, “It was a very positive process.”

She said Redmond customers — both residential and commercial — can expect to receive their credits beginning next year in January, February or March.

The credit is in recognition of customers’ inconvenience and frustration during the driver strike, Freedman said, and is the company’s way of thanking

customers for their patience and understanding.

“Waste Management truly values our relationship with Redmond,” she said, adding that they look forward to continuing to help the city stay at the front of the sustainability movement.

Waste Management recycling and yard waste truck drivers in King and Snohomish counties went on strike on July 25 after failed contract negotiations.

It was reported earlier that Teamsters’ Local Union 117, whose membership includes recycling and yard waste drivers, accused the company of violating

several federal labor laws, including bad-faith bargaining, coercing and direct dealing with its employees and threatening to retaliate against workers.

In those earlier reports, Freedman denied that the company had violated any federal labor laws.

Waste Management and the union reached an agreement on the evening of Aug. 1, bringing an end to the week-long strike, during which more than 13,000 residential and commercial customers in Redmond were affected.

Freedman said Waste Management has come to similar settlement agreements with the cities of Seattle, Federal Way, Burien and Auburn and is currently in settlement talks with other cities in the greater Puget Sound area that were affected by the strike.

Eyman, city attorney appear in court for traffic-cameras hearing Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Attorneys representing Tim Eyman and the City of Redmond presented oral arguments before the Division I Washington State Appeals Court last Friday during a hearing regarding traffic-enforcement cameras in Redmond.

A state-initiative advocate from

Mukilteo, Eyman, along with Union Hill resident Scott Harlan, had cosponsored Redmond Initiative No. 1, which would ban the use of trafficenforcement cameras unless approved by the City Council and Redmond voters.

In October 2011, judge Laura C. Inveen of the King County Superior Court ruled in favor of the city when it chose not to forward a peti-

tion — containing more than 6,000 signatures and filed by Eyman and Harlan — to King County Elections for verification. If the signatures had been verified, the issue would have been put to a vote by residents.

It was reported earlier that Inveen had ruled that Redmond city clerk Michelle McGehee turning in the [ more cameras page 6 ]

[ plan from page 3] more user friendly.”

The digital version includes internal links to help with navigation and is linked to external references such as the Electronic Zoning Code, which has been revamped digitally, as well.

In addition, the text in the online Redmond 2030 is searchable and key information such as maps and tables are now easier to locate.

Sullivan added that the digital version of the comprehensive plan will also line up with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) come next year as city staff are working to make it accessible to all users.

The comprehensive plan describes Redmond’s vision for the future: A place with urban centers in downtown and Overlake, improved neighborhood connections and high-quality services delivered in partnership with the community.

Users will be able to read more about Redmond’s vision and goals with regard to land use, transportation, parks, recreation and the arts, housing, the environment and other topics.

The comprehensive plan reflects the long-term values and aspirations of the community as a whole and guides the physical development and enhancement of the city.

“It’s comprehensive… an exhaustive look,” said Sarah Stiteler, another senior planner for the city. “No territory is left unturned…This is the city’s vision for the future.”

Sullivan said Redmond 2030 is a little different from the city’s zoning code in that it reads more as a narrative, telling the city’s story. Former Redmond poet laureate Rebecca Meredith has also provided poetry that is woven throughout the comprehensive plan sections.

Stiteler said Redmond 2030 has been a homegrown project with the majority of the work done “in-house” or by former city employees.

For more information about the Comprehensive Plan, or to share your feedback about the new digital version, contact Sullivan at (425) 556-2469 or ppsullivan@ redmond.gov or Stiteler at (425) 56-2469 or sstiteler@redmond.gov.

College Board honors Lake Washington School District ing access to these rigorous courses while ensuring students succeed. More than 90 percent of colleges and universities across the United States offer college credit, advanced placement or both for a score of three or higher on an AP exam, which can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition.

A total of 539 school districts in 44 states and six provinces in Canada

achieved honor roll status.

Eighteen districts in Washington achieved this honor.

“As a district, we believe in preparing all students for college-level work,” said LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “Our high schools have made a concerted effort to encourage students to take on the challenge of AP coursework in high school as part of that preparation.”

The number of AP tests taken by LWSD students

703332

The College Board has placed Lake Washington School District (LWSD) on its third annual AP District Honor Roll for simultaneously increasing access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of three or higher on AP exams.

Achieving both of these goals indicates that the district is successfully increas-

increased from 2,559 in 2010 to 2,730 in 2011 to 2,825 in 2012. At the same time, the rate of students achieving a score of three or higher remained about the same, at 80.15 percent in 2010, 77.03 percent in 2011 and 78.80 percent in 2012.

Inclusion on the third annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the examination of three years of AP data, from 2010 to 2012 for the following criteria: • Increase participation and access to AP by at least four percent in large districts, at least six percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts.

• Ensure that the percentage of African American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students taking AP exams did not decrease by more than 5 percent for large and medium districts or by more than 10 percent for small districts.

• Improve performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2012 scoring a three or higher to those in 2010, unless the district has already attained a performance level in which more than 70 percent of the AP students are scoring a three or higher.

[ cameras from page 5] petition for verification would have been a “useless act” because the issue concerning trafficenforcement cameras falls under the power of city legislature rather than the initiative process, based on a September 2011 appeals court ruling in Bellingham.

Eyman is challenging Inveen’s decision, saying it was not a useless act as every step of the initiative process is important.

Although there are no more traffic-enforcement cameras in Redmond after council voted to terminate its contract with camera vendor American Traffic Solutions, Eyman said having the signatures approved and the issue put to a vote would provide further protection if the city decides to bring in traffic-enforcement cameras in the future.

As the first of its kind in the city, Eyman called Redmond Initiative No. 1 the “Rosa Parks of initiatives” and the city’s refusal to turn over the signatures sets a “dangerous” and “horrible” precedent for the future if people wish to utilize the initiative process.

Following the hearing last week, a pleased

Eyman said, “It just went really well for our side.”

City of Redmond attorney James Haney was just as confident.

“The appeals court judges asked tough but fair questions and we were able to provide answers to all of the questions asked,” he said. “The city remains confident that it has the correct legal position in this case and that the court should not require the certification of petition, which has been held to be invalid by both the Washington State Court of Appeals and the Washington Supreme Court.

The city is confident that the court will ultimately see it the city’s way and that the city will be able to stop wasting time and resources dealing with a petition that Mr. Eyman knew was invalid when he filed it.”

A decision has not been made yet and there are no more hearings or court dates scheduled for this case. Haney said, given the court’s workload, it will probably take three to six months before a ruling will be made.

Both parties will receive written notification of the court’s decision and the court will also post the decision on its website.

Redmond El’s Teshima dons penguin suit after students raise $10,000

she said last Friday, though she admitted that her head was really hot in the costume.

BIRD ABOUT TOWN

Teshima joined students outside during recess — her penguin suit protecting her from the cold — and visited individual classrooms to show off her new look. Everywhere she went, she was swarmed by students eager to see the costume up close.

“It was a rockstar coming onto the playground,” said RES PTSA President Elena Savage about Teshima’s first appearance as a penguin.

In addition to recess and classroom visits, Teshima also took her one-bird show on the road, making a bank run and stopping by Dairy Queen for — what else? — a Blizzard. She even waddled by the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Resource Center in Redmond Town Center to see Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce, who had visited RES earlier in the day and thoroughly enjoyed Teshima’s feathered look.

IMPORTANT TEETHING ADVICE Parents of teething children have been warned against using products containing benzocaine to help relieve the pain that comes with newly erupting first teeth. According to a new directive from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, products such as Anbesol, Orajel, Baby Orajel, Orabase, and Hurricane should only be used under the advice and supervision of a health care professional. The reason behind this warning is that children under 2 years old who use benzocaine gels and liquids are at particular risk for a rare but potentially deadly condition called “methemoglobinemia.” This potential consequence of benzocaine, which can occur within minutes of use, causes the amount of oxygen carried through the bloodstream to be greatly reduced. Symptoms of methemoglobinemia include pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, and nail beds; shortness of breath; fatigue; confusion; headache; light-headedness; and rapid heart rate.

For anyone who may have spotted an oversized penguin waddling around downtown Redmond last Friday afternoon, you were not just seeing things and you were not alone.

Redmond Elementary School (RES), usually home of the hawks, has been all about the cold-weather bird for several weeks as students have raised about $10,000 for their school by selling cookie dough, magazine subscriptions and online gifts.

It was announced at the kickoff assembly for the fund-raiser a few weeks ago that principal Joyce

Teshima would don a penguin suit for a day if the school reached its goal to raise $6,500. Teshima was surprised by the announcement since it was made — with no prior notification — by a representative from Great American Fundraising, the organization RES worked with for the fundraiser. But as she’s been known to wear a homemade ninja duck costume in the past to motivate students during a previous fund-raiser, Teshima didn’t back down from the challenge when her students met and surpassed the set goal. She even seemed to enjoy the plush-toy fashion statement she was making.

“I feel like a teddy bear,”

“They rose to the occasion,” Savage said about the students’ fund-raising efforts. “Those kids rallied to the idea of supporting their school.”

She said the money they raised will help pay for various math and arts programs, the school’s Accelerated Reader program and more.

While RES raised $7,000 during last year’s fundraiser, Savage said they decided to lower their goal due to the district-wide grade reconfiguration and the school’s loss of sixthgraders. She said their population — 401 according to the school’s website — is about the same as last year but with a large number of kindergartners and first-graders, they didn’t know how well the younger students would do with selling.

“We expected to be less just because the population changed,” Savage said. “(The students) totally proved us wrong.”

Third-grader Audrey Wilson said the idea of having her school principal dress up as a penguin for a day definitely motivated her to sell. And sell she did. As the school’s top seller, Audrey raised $765, though she said there were other factors that pushed her to sell.

“I just wanted to sell a lot of cookie dough to get prizes,” the 8-year-old said.

Audrey definitely did that as her sales included 51 tubs of cookie dough. The prizes she will receive for her efforts include an iPod Shuffle, a remote-control bird and an assortment of penguin key chains.

Other top sellers at RES were Catie Hall, who brought in $500, including 33 tubs of cookie dough, and Amelia Lange, who raised $435, including 29 tubs of cookie dough.

The top classroom raised $3,635 and three-quarters of the classes in the school each brought in at least $1,000 or more.

paper and tissue red poppies (a symbol of sacrifice to honor veterans who served and died for their country in all wars) to the men at the event.

School vice principal Carol Wright noted that the children also assembled Thanksgiving baskets filled with toiletries, cookies, CDs and more to be sent to veterans who are serving in Afghanistan and around the world.

“We have a lot of servicemen from Faith Lutheran Church, we have military families as teachers here. This is just a part of who we are in honoring the folks that have served so that we can have the joy of sleeping comfortably at night,” said Wright, who added that the students also wrote letters that will be sent to veterans.

Added Hayden, a Microsoft senior attorney in legal and corporate affairs: “I think it’s really important that we let our children

know how many Americans have volunteered and sacrificed to make sure we have freedoms in this country, have great elections like we had (last) week and the freedoms that aren’t known in other parts of the world.”

Sixth-grader William Mukerjee started and completed the event by presenting and retiring the American flag. He used to be a member of the youth Civil Air Patrol and said being close to the men in their uniforms was a memorable experience.

Mukerjee discussed the importance of Veterans Day: “It means that you’re saying thanks to the soldiers who fought — and some died.”

over-exercising? She’s in the “healthy” BMI range, but is she really healthy?

Likely not. And what about a 5-10 man who weighs 195 and happens to be a competitive bodybuilder with a very low body fat percentage of 9 percent? Is he really “overweight” as diagnosed by the BMI chart?

Of course not!

BMI does not take into account age, gender or muscle mass. Nor does it distinguish between lean body mass and fat mass. As a result, some people, such as heavily muscled athletes, may have an “overweight” or even “obese” BMI even though they don’t have a high percentage of body fat. In others, such as elderly people, BMI may appear “healthy” even though muscle has been lost with aging. BMI functions best when measuring the height to weight ratios of sizeable groups

What is a serratus anterior?

Serratus Anterior sounds like a planet in Star Wars, but it’s actually a muscle in the sides of your chest, next to your armpits. And it can cause that familiar “carry-the-weight-ofthe-world-on-your-shoulders” pain or even “knife-in-theback” pain because it pulls your scapulae (shoulder blades) forward, especially if you work at a computer and have to face forward for most of your day.

If you’ve had massage before for shoulder pain, but only found temporary relief, chances are your serratus anterior wasn’t properly addressed.

Even though it’s not the location of your pain, when it’s chronically tight, it will pull the shoulders forward and make them hurt. Most people who suffer from this pain tend to

face forward for most of their work day and then sleep on their sides at night. Freeing this muscle will help the scapulae move more efficiently and thus relieve the pain, effectively removing that knife in your back.

How can I tell if I need my serratus anterior addressed?

It should be everyone’s goal to build and maintain lean muscle tissue. It is what drives a healthy metabolism and high energy level.

It impacts our strength, agility, balance and the health of our bones. It is not an exaggeration to say that lean muscle tissue is the body’s “fountain of youth.” The higher the lean muscle level (LML), the more calories our bodies will burn. In fact, pound for pound, muscle burns about three-and-a-half times more calories than fat! The healthiest way to keep fat off is to keep

Share your body composition data with your doctor during your next check-up. Tell her you’re interested in maintaining your LML as you age. She’ll be so impressed with your proactive approach to your health!

Think about the last time you went to the doctor for a check-up.

What measurements did she take? Weight, blood pressure, pulse. Maybe she drew blood to check cholesterol. The doctor can compare your measurements to standards and advise you on what steps you can take to improve your overall health. She can prescribe medication or put you on a diet and exercise regimen to help get your numbers in check.

What about body composition? Did your doctor ever tell you what percentage of your body is made up of lean muscle tissue versus fat?

Probably not: a good body composition scale

is expensive and requires multiple readings to gain a full picture of body composition because of natural fluctuations in body hydration.

Therefore, body mass index (BMI) is often used as a proxy for body composition.

BMI was devised in 1832 by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet to measure height to weight ratios across large human populations. The BMI chart you see hanging in your doctor’s office is simply based on what are determined to be healthy average weights for different heights.

So, according to BMI, a 5-foot-6 adult female should weigh between 120-160 pounds; a 5-10 adult male should weigh between 130-180 pounds. But what if a 5-6 woman weighs in at 125 pounds but has very low muscle mass due to chronic dieting and

With regular, personalized strength training, you can burn calories, reduce fat and increase LML without getting all bulked up. Because muscle takes up about a third the space of fat, you’ll have a sleeker, younger and more fit appearance. Who doesn’t want that?

By all means, follow your doctor’s prescriptions for health. But take a step beyond BMI: find out what your body weight is made of instead of just comparing the number on the bathroom scale to a chart of averages.

Q: I have a very serious weight problem and have been told that I’m a candidate for surgery.

What are your thoughts on this?

A: Weight-loss surgery is certainly an option if you are morbidly obese, but in my opinion, it should always be seen as a last resort. In fact, most physicians have certain requirements that must be met

in order to proceed with surgery, and these include documented efforts to lose weight through behavior modification.

If these attempts fail, then surgery may be considered as an alternative. But it’s important to recognize that, despite the success stories people often hear, there are significant risks inherent in all surgical procedures. Make no mistake — this is NOT minor surgery. I’ve seen patients that required months-long stays in the hospital after repeated surgeries to repair leaks and other problems encountered post-op.

And even if the surgery goes well, there are significant challenges that you must overcome when you’re getting back into your daily routine at home. For example, the types and amounts of food that you consume at meals will be fundamentally altered after the procedure. And there can be serious repercussions for not changing your eating habits.

If surgery is deemed to be the best option for you, then it’s important to choose the appropriate procedure in consultation with your physician. Bottom line — educate yourself

We welcome your letters email us at: anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Q: What should I eat or drink if I only have an hour before I work out?

A: What you eat before a practice or game should be largely determined by timing and personal preference. Generally speaking, a large meal takes 4-5 hours to digest, a smaller meal takes 2-3 hours and a large snack takes 1-2 hours.

If you don’t digest food well enough prior to an activity, you can end up with a stomach

yourself is to make a soft fist and put that fist on your hips, then move upwards toward just below your armpit. Gently press in to the rib cage, and if you feel tenderness, chances are your serratus anterior could benefit from massage therapy. If you’ve had persistent upper back or shoulder pain that doesn’t seem to go away with massage, ice, heat, tennis balls or other methods, you’d be a good candidate to have your serratus anterior addressed.

How can I stretch my serratus anterior?

ache and cramping. This often occurs because blood (which plays a key role in digestion) is shunted to your arms and legs during activity, thereby slowing down the digestive process.

Therefore, if you only have an hour to fuel yourself, it would probably be best to stick with a liquid carbohydrate/ protein shake. Liquids are processed faster than solid foods and will provide the energy you need in a shorter time frame.

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about those ice cream-based shakes from fast-food restaurants. We’re talking range of motion restrictions, this can be an effective, gentle stretch. Stand with your feet together, knees relaxed (not locked) and slowly raise your arms up, palms facing up and make a Y with your body as you inhale. As you exhale, bend forward and try to touch your toes or the floor. Don’t worry if you can’t quite make it — intention is more important than actually touching. If you do have shoulder restrictions, a simple slow, deep breath as you slowly shrug your shoulders up and roll them back and hold the stretch as you slowly exhale and give you

There are a number of products on the market in each category, so do some tastetesting to see which ones work best for you.

White Gold

Digging British Columbia’s legendary mother lode.

Here’s how it happens: you sink into a turn and a swirl of crystals envelopes you. A curtain of cold smoke hangs in the air as you link several more explosions before pausing for a well-deserved breath. As the cloud dissipates and sound drifts off like a wind dying in the tree-tops, a weight is lifted from your life. Maybe you don’t feel it right away because the void is filled by what you see: mountains on every horizon— rugged peaks, hanging glaciers, and welcoming bowls hemmed by gentle evergreen skirts.

Above you, snow-ghosts picket a ridgeline, alabaster sentinels marching into a cerulean sky.

Below you is a vast expanse of unbroken white. Snow of such elemental purity it defies description. In other places it’s called champagne powder, but here, following the mining traditions of the many British Columbia towns it blankets, it’s known as White Gold—because finding it brings a fortune in fun.

You’ll know that after your first run. It might be the best skiing you’ve done in a lifetime of great skiing or just a spectacular introduction to wild and free and ridiculously good. And, as you slide back onto an immaculately groomed run to head back to the

lodge, you’ll wonder this: if this is just another winter day in B.C., what’s an exceptional one?

Perhaps it’s time you found out. The scope and variety of B.C.’s ski areas is staggering.

Whether your choice is located in the spectacular Coast, funky Interior or jagged Rockies, the variability in resort size and ambiance, the amount and diversity of groomed and offpiste terrain, and the consistency of quality snow that ranges from 10-15 metres (30-50 feet) each winter, you’ll know you’ve struck paydirt.

Like Europe, B.C.’s vast spaces and convoluted ranges mean you can stay at a world class resort or an undiscovered gem just around the corner. You’ll also find friendly people, modern lifts, lodges ranging from rustic chic to ultramodern, and fabulous, award-winning food.

Best of all, getting there is simple. Vancouver & Kelowna international airports act as gateways to B.C.—you can be skiing the same day you leave home. And if the snow happens to break around your knees as you dig into that first turn on your vacation, well, you’ll know. You just struck White Gold.

• The City of Redmond will present its annual Poultry Predictor Race at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Farrel-McWhirter Park, 19545 N.E. Redmond Road.

Registration fee is $30 through today and $35 on race day (registration is from 9-9:45 a.m.).

The all-ages race is open to all levels of runners. The five participants closest to their predicted finish time will receive a frozen turkey. There are no timing devices allowed on the course including mp3 players, iPods, or GPS watches.

The only clock will be at the start/finish line. A professional timing company will chip time the event.

A portion of each registration will benefit The Ethiopia Project, whose mission is to fit gently worn and new footwear on those in need in the African nation of Ethiopia. They also put on races in Ethiopia in rural areas and are pursuing clean water, as well as school restoration projects. A collection bin for gently used shoes will be available at the event.

There are raffle prizes including another five turkeys and four pies to be awarded in a random raffle.

The four-mile out-andback course starts at the Farrel McWhirter Park and runs along the scenic Puget Sound Energy Trail.

• Hopelink’s 12th annual Turkey Trot 5K family fun run and walk is set for Sunday in Kirkland. The three-mile course runs from Marina Park to Carillon Point and back, and is open to both runners and walkers. Registration begins at 10 a.m., with runners starting the race at 11 a.m. and walkers at 11:05 a.m.

Last year, 830 Turkey Trot participants raised nearly $225,000 in donations.

Presented by Fred Meyer and supported by a host of other local businesses, Hopelink’s annual Turkey Trot helps provide emergency services and holiday assistance to low-income families in east and north King County during the winter months.

The registration fee includes a Hopelink Turkey Trot T-shirt, and both runners and walkers are encouraged to seek pledged donations. The registration fee is $35 for individuals and $30 each for teams of four or more.

Strollers and pets are free.

Teens flock to Day of the Dead celebration

The City of Redmond’s Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) recently held its fifth annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration (Day of the Dead) earlier this month, which brought in more than 80 teens.

The event was co-sponsored by the Latino Unidos Club from Redmond High School (RHS) and the Parks and Recreation teen programs.

“Day of the Dead is one of the many successful events organized, promoted and run by Redmond High School clubs,” said City of Redmond recreation program assistant Rana Shmait. “We partnered with Latinos Unidos to make this Day of the Dead both

Club members shared the significance of the celebration in both English and Spanish. All participants were involved in the projects and many took their creations home with them at the end of the night that included sugar skulls and paper flowers.

“Cultural programming is an important part of the teen center and this is one of many events that we do throughout the year showcasing the richness of youth in Redmond,” said Redmond teen and 50+ proTeens participate in skull and face painting in this year’s Day of the grams administrator Ken Wong.

To commemorate Redmond’s 100th Anniversary, and to share the rich history of art and artists in the area, VALA Eastside (Venues for Artists in the Local Area) has selected 22 local artists to create the Redmond Centennial Collection. The collection will be installed at the VALA Gallery at Redmond Town Center and will run from Nov. 29 through January.

The public is invited to attend the opening reception from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Nov. 29.

The Centennial Collection celebrates the artists and their unique connection to Redmond. About the collection, Marianne Johnson, VALA assistant director says, “Redmond means something different to each of the artists. We’ve asked them to share their connection to help celebrate the centennial year because whether you live or work here, we all have helped Redmond grow and change into the community it is today.”

The Artists selected to make up the Redmond Centennial Collection are: Angelina Kidd, Beth Anderson, Christopher Peltz, Crystal Edwards, Debbie Donaway, Denise Shaffer, Enisa Memic, Erika Simon, Jacqueline Calladine, Judy Selogy, Lee Hendrickson, Linda Kelly, Phil Jensen, Sadia Hussain, Shawn Simon, Sondra Friedman, Stephanie Reilly, Susan Melrath, Terri Gordon, The Redmond Muses, Ulrike Kreppold and Yiota Georgas.

Bear Creek versus Crosspoint Academy: take three.

This afternoon, the Grizzlies from Redmond will hope to score a hat trick with its third victory this season over Crosspoint from Bremerton in the 1B/2B state semifinals at 2 p.m. at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner.

Defending state champion Bear Creek (13-4 overall) defeated Crosspoint, 3-2 and 1-0, this season en route to winning the Sea-Tac League title. By dispatching Orcas Island, 10-1, in the 1-2 District final, Bear Creek advanced to the state final four.

The Bear Creek-Crosspoint winner will face the Napavine-Liberty Bell victor at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the final at Sunset Chev Stadium.

The losers will play for third and fourth place at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

Bear Creek second-year coach Brandon Gonzalez said his team is playing strong heading into state.

The Grizzlies are focused and

“do the small things well” when the ball is in play, he noted: they defend as a team and attack as a team, place balls wide on defense and move balls into the box on offense.

Sticking with the number three, Gonzalez focused on a trio of Grizzly players who have made an impact this season.

First, there’s junior Caroline Bridgwater, the Sea-Tac League most valuable player who has notched a school-record 21 assists to go along with six goals.

“She has good vision of the field [ more soccer page 15]

and can really take charge,” said Gonzalez, adding that Bridgwater can often read the game two to three steps ahead of the other players. She also provides leadership and motivation for the Bear Creek squad.

Freshman Sara Hastings has 12 goals and five assists and “does a good

job anticipating the game rather than reacting to it,” Gonzalez said. Hastings scored Bear Creek’s goal in its 1-0 victory over Crosspoint to clinch the league title.

Finally, there’s junior defensive stopper Brittney DiGenova, an allleague first-teamer who has scored nine goals — eight of them on headers off corner kicks.

Many liquor store owners feel burned by state, terms of privatization

Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Don Sidhu has held various jobs at gas stations, he’s driven ice cream trucks and taxi cabs

and worked in a small business since he came to the United States from India in 1992.

Sidhu put a lot of money into his new business when the Liquor Control Board auctioned off the 167 state-run liquor stores to private retailers in April. He says he and his brother have put in $1.5 million to $2 million from the four stores they bid on, including one in Kirkland’s Houghton neighborhood.

But Sidhu — like several other liquor store owners in the state — has felt the impact since liquor privatization took effect last June.

He was forced to close Liquor Store No. 57 in Houghton recently because he said the store lost 85 percent of business since privatization.

“We’re broke. The landlord (at one location outside of Kirkland) is coming after us because the personal guarantee

finally, a retire me nt communit y

is signed,” said Sidhu. “I’m looking for everything, there’s nothing I can do.”

Bankruptcy may be inevitable, he says.

Sidhu, who bought two stores in Vancouver and one in Kennewick, which is now closed, purchased the right to the Houghton location at 10609 N.E. 68th St. for $344,712. The right to operate the others were purchased at state auction for $264,125, $263,152 and $212,106, respectively.

Many retailers would say the state packaged the liquor stores as a great business op-

that’s more fun

portunity. The highest bidders were promised “special rights,” such as the exclusive right to apply for a liquor license at the current state-run locations.

And under Initiative-1183, the stores couldn’t sell liquor if their retail space was under 10,000 square feet, but these stores could. Additional cost control by employing non-government workers would also save retailers a substantial amount of money in the private sector.

On top of it all, retailers were offered a slice of Washington’s billion-dollar liquor business.

“Did they bid too much for the opportunity?” said

commercial real-estate broker Byron Roselli. “Most everybody would probably say yes, but one of the reasons the bid amounts were where they were at is because of the way the state sold the packages as opportunities.”

After the auction on April 20, which had bids as high as $750,000 a store, the state put down a time restriction. From April 25 to May 11, store leases or fully executed letters of intent had to be locked down, as well as a full cash payment of 80 percent of the liquor inventory as of Feb. 1 —soon to be [ more liquor page 23 ]

Pete’s Wine had already applied for a liquor license in that spot.

Eshagi said that he has filed a petition with the State Liquor Control Board and that his lawyers are looking into the matter. He refused further comment on the legal procedures available to him.

He owns two other stores in the state that have survived.

And yet, there are still liquor-store owners who are optimistic.

Location may be key. The state turned the building at 16389 Redmond Way into a liquor store in April 2010. And the brick building has some history behind it. Binckley said it was former Redmond

discovered as unfavorable, slow-moving merchandise.

“These transactions take some time — traditionally, lease negotiations (normally) could take up to one year,” said Roselli. “But the state was forcing complete negotiations and executed leases in two weeks.”

Roselli has worked with the Washington State Liquor Control Board on the placement of liquor stores in Clark County and was involved in communications between potential bidders and liquor-store landlords.

“The May 11 deadline ensured that those people would have their liquor license

by May 31 because they legally couldn’t have spirits without it (come June 1 when privatization was put into effect),” said Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter.

As a result of the short time-frame, Roselli said some landlords gave adverse rates and length of terms to the new tenants. Retailers ran into problems, despite the effort of extensive public outreach from the Liquor Control Board.

The two other previously state-run liquor stores in Kirkland are also closed, but the Reporter could not confirm

what led to those circumstances.

Other liquor stores who are still open report business is slow or just surviving.

Josh Boggs, assistant manager of Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, said that business has been fairly slow since the state was in the liquor business.

“We do have a lot of items that you can’t get at a Costco or other grocery stores,” said Boggs, adding that they carry specialty items like high-end tequila, bourbon, scotch and gin.

However, those other stores are grabbing a large amount of the liquor business, Boggs added.

“To be able to see liquor right in front of you while you’re shopping, it grabs your attention. It’s a convenience factor,” he said.

Redmond Ridge Liquor and Wine, owned by Chuck Ferrel, has been open about four years and previously contracted with the state to sell liquor.

Abi Eshagi of Woodinville purchased the store at 20617 Bothell-Everett Highway for $110,000.

“We never opened (the Bothell store) because we couldn’t get the lease,” said Eshagi. “What wasn’t disclosed

SUMMARY Proposed Ordinance 2012-0353 details the terms of the County’s purchase of: (1) a new 3.6-mile trail easement on the Eastside Rail Corridor north from Woodinville to Brightwater; and (2) the Port’s remaining fee interest in approximately 15.6 miles of the Corridor south of Woodinville (from Renton to Woodinville and from Woodinville to the northern city limits of Redmond).

The King County Council will consider an ordinance on December 3, 2012 approving this intergovernmental land transfer agreement.

A copy of Proposed Ordinances 2012-0353, 2012-0354, and/ or 2012-0382 will be mailed upon request to the Clerk of the Council, Room 1200, King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, telephone 206-296-1020.
