Redmond High School assembly celebrates differences among students Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com
On Wednesday morning, the sounds of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” filled the Redmond
High School (RHS) gym as students filed in and took their seats on the bleachers. They were getting ready to witness the school’s first-ever RESPECT Assembly and just
as the pop star’s song promotes and celebrates the differences among people, the assembly emphasized how there is more to people than meets the eye. In addition to the literal
Junior Shelby Albrecht, one of the student organizers, said they wanted to stress that you don’t necessarily have to love everyone but you should respect them. “Everyone deserves that respect,” she said. Albrecht and the rest of the organizers — senior Mariama Suwaneh and sophomores Bailey Campbell, Angelica Mason and Jennifer Martinez — were initially planning on holding a diversity assembly for Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January, which would focus on race and ethnicity as similar assemblies have in the past. However, after consulting with school administration and the associated student body executive council, the assembly organizers gave it more thought, Albrecht said they realized RHS’s issues of [ more respect page 7 ]

His father used to bite him and tell him that he was stupid. When he was 4, his father put out cigarettes in his stomach. Today, at age 40, he can still see the marks. Coming out of a seriously dysfunctional family, Nosh Hedgeman struggled to survive in his own home. Escaping to the street corners at age 14 seemed to be the only solution to avoid his
father’s physical and emotional abuse. Surrounded by anger and ache in the early stage of his life, Hedgeman started using crack cocaine. He hoped it would stop his pain. “By the time I was 13, 14, I didn’t have any self-esteem, I didn’t know what it was,” Hedgeman said. Looking back, Hedgeman realizes how angry and depressed he was — the inevitable result of the circumstances of his early life.

The 61-year-old sports fanatic — who played rugby until he was 52 — also approved of his instructor’s uniform at Norman Rockwell Elementary School, said his sister Ann Cohen. “He got to wear T-shirts and shorts all year round,” she said. “His kids were all of his students. He loved them. He wanted all his kids to excel, and he motivated them. We spoke to him about retiring, and he said, ‘What, are you crazy? What am I going to do?

participation in school activities due to their socioeconomic status. Funding for the RHS Help comes from a combination of donations and grants. RHS principal Jane Todd added that the money they receive from stores such as Target, which allow customers to select a school to donate a percentage of the proceeds from their purchases to, also goes toward RHS Help. The program has been around for about six years and Todd said they disperse about $10,000 to students each year. RHS Help is managed by InvestEd, an organization whose mission is to provide immediate help for students in need. According to its website, InvestEd “provides funding that supports the efforts of secondary schools throughout Washington state.” Todd said InvestEd only manages RHS Help. The organization doesn’t take a percentage of any of the funds. Before the program started, Todd said the demographics at RHS were shifting and they believed there were more students who qualified and could benefit from the free and reduced lunch

program. Students wouldn’t sign up because of the stigma attached to the idea of needing financial help, she said. In addition to providing financial assistance to students, RHS Help was also started as a way to bring awareness to the fact that there are struggling families in the community. “That’s not shameful,” Todd said. After RHS Help was established, she said the number of students on free or reduced lunch began to go up as more students became comfortable with asking for help. Athena Anderle agreed that there is a stigma of being poor attached to needing help. The RHS senior is a student member of Nourishing Networks, a coalition that began as an initiative of Redmond-based Hopelink and brings together people within the community to help fill the gaps that the current network of social services is unable to meet. As a member of the network, Anderle has seen that there are a lot of struggling families in Redmond, despite the assumption that the area sits toward the top of the socio-economic ladder. One of the projects she has participated in is Pantry Packs,
a rolling backpack program that provides kids with food for the weekend as there is no free or reduced meal program to help them on their days off from school. The first time Anderle helped put together the Pantry Packs was an eye opener for the 17-year-old. She said they were making more than 200 packs for kids to take home. “It’s crazy because living in this community, you aren’t aware of the amount of need that is really there,” she said. In addition to helping with Pantry Packs, Anderle said the Nourishing Networks contingent at RHS is working to turn an on-campus garden — currently used by the food-sciences classes — into a community garden. When this happens, she said they hope to donate the produce grown in the garden to Pantry Packs so kids will also have fresh fruits and vegetables during the weekend. Like RHS Help, Anderle said having students volunteer for Nourishing Networks is important to increase awareness of the need in the community. “The reason it’s so important is because a lot of kids are hesitant in accepting help,” she said.

Building resilience in our children Patti SkeltonMcGougan
It turns out resilience is an important mental health characteristic that helps adolescents and adults cope in the face of adversity or stress. In essence, resilience means being able to bounce back from difficult times and cope well with challenges. Not all kids’ circumstances are the same, nor can we make it so. Some kids are going to have more trauma and difficulty in life, and some are going to have more support. Adolescence is a point when mental health disorders often first arise, due in part to things that are out of anyone’s control. But adolescents who are resilient find ways to reduce the negative effects of stress on their lives and thrive despite difficult circumstances.

Boosting resiliency
We’ve all been witness to the child who just seems to rise above it all. Whether it is being teased, overcoming a disability or having to deal with a less than supportive parent, these kids just don’t seem to let it hold them back. While some of this tendency is part of a child’s predisposition, there are factors that adults may be able to influence — and with good reason. Adolescents who are resilient also may be better able to avoid risky behaviors, such as violence, substance use and adolescent pregnancy. The nonprofit research center Child Trends, has identified a number of characteristics of adolescents that are associated with resilience. Choices made with younger children can help bolster these protective characteristics. • An appealing, sociable, easygoing disposition • Good thinking skills (“intelligence” as traditionally defined, but also judgment and social skills) • One or more talents (things a person does really well) • Belief in oneself and trust in one’s ability to make decisions • Religiosity or spirituality and strong internal
values • Get regular physical exercise, avoid substance abuse and practice relaxation techniques. • Caring adults in their lives
remain trapped in a vicious cycle, with innumerable costs to themselves, their communities and to the nation.
What adults can do to build resiliency
On March 19, you can help Youth Eastside Services (YES) lift the shame and shine light on the possibility of healthy living. Join us for the Invest in Youth Breakfast and hear inspiring stories of hope, including our keynote speaker Christopher Kennedy Lawford. Every dollar we raise gives kids a chance at hope and recovery...an opportunity to let their resilience shine.
Adolescents who have positive relationships with adults outside their families feel more supported, are more socially expressive and are less likely to be depressed than adolescents who lack such relationships. Depression is the No. 1 mental health issue facing youth today. As parents, or influential adults, you can support a child’s participation in healthy activities like academics, sports and social pastimes. Such participation helps relieve stress, as well as helps kids develop stress management and conflict resolution skills. Mentor programs are excellent ways to reach out to youth in this way. Perhaps most importantly, as parents we can attend to our own emotional well being — if we are reluctant to seek help for our mental health problems, it reinforces the mental health stigma and reduces the chances a teen will seek help. We need to shift this paradigm from hopelessness to empowerment. Without the promise of a better life, individuals and families affected by mental health and addiction
A morning of courage and hope
When to seek help
Kids are kids and are going to hit rough patches. However, if the symptoms cause major emotional distress, or interfere substantially with daily life, eating, sleeping and social interactions over a period of time, then professional evaluation is warranted. YES counselors can be found in many schools, teen centers and has offices in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland and Sammamish. Call (425) 747-4937 or YouthEastsideServices.org.

I have just learned of a new book released with the title “Kill Anything That Moves.” I saw the author being interviewed on “Moyer and Company” and I have an even better understanding of just how evil the people in power in this country have become. No one should be surprise at the level of gun violence in this country. All the “stand your ground laws” have only added to the justification in many people’s mind to shoot first and ask questions later. We have no one to blame but our politicians and those who control them for this situation. Sadly, this country has a very long and sordid history of doing injustices to too many of its citizens and unfortunately too much injustice is still at play against our own citizens as well as those of foreign countries. Hiding this from the American people is not the way to change things nor allowing those who participated in breaking laws whether national or international to walk free is right. What it
does instead is give cover to those who wish to continue to commit human rights violations. I wish I could join Tina Turner in becoming a citizen of a more civilized country, but unfortunately I am 72 years old and don’t have the finances to make such a move. I still have some hope, however small, that America will come to its senses.

What are legislators thinking? Our legislators just don’t get it. We’ve had a funding crisis for the past several years, and continued cuts to education, and they want to propose another tax break. You can’t keep putting holes in the revenue bucket! Does it make any sense to exempt school supplies from sales tax, when another sales tax cut will just decrease the money available to fund the schools where our kids use those supplies? What are our legislators thinking?

Lake Washington School District, state sees spike in homelessness The LWSD led the way with the highest number of homeless kids, Bellevue was second with 185 and the Northshore School District (NSD) has 151 homeless students. “We do have a larger overall enrollment than our neighboring districts, which may explain the higher number,” said Reith. “Where our concern lies first is in how we as a school district can help students continue to learn and have stability during the school day while their families are working to regain stability for the rest of their day. Second, if we can help connect the family to services that can help them
meet their basic needs, we want to do that.” The trend during the past five years has been increasing, according to Reith. In 2006-2007 there was believed to be 27-28 students identified as homeless. But that trend could be due to the efforts by the LWSD in tracking the problem. “We have also been working on doing a better job of identifying homeless students, so it’s hard to tell how much the increases have been through increases in homelessness and how much (better we have

ing foster care placement; cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing or similar situations; or public or private places not ordinarily used as sleeping accommodations for human beings. The count for 2011-2012 was already at a high level for the Eastside. “For the four Eastside school districts I looked at, 686 students were identified as homeless during the 2011-12 school year,” said policy Director Kelly Rider of the Housing Development Consortium. “A large number of young kids are homeless particularly in the Lake Washington School District.”

Most people envision panhandlers and adults sleeping in doorways in downtown Seattle when they think of the homeless. The vision of a homeless first grader is not readily available to most. Numbers released this past week by the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction’s office paint a stark picture of homeless students in Eastside school districts in 2011-2012. But current numbers are even more severe. “As of Friday, Feb. 8 we have 209 students identified as homeless under the McKinney Vento Act; last year on Feb. 10, we had 169,” said Lake Washington School District (LWSD) spokesperson Kathryn Re-
ith. “We had been running about 10 percent higher this year than last until a jump after winter break raised the number.” Under the federal McKinney-Vento Act, all school districts are required to track the number of students identified as homeless in their district, and they also have certain obligations to those homeless students. McKinney-Vento defines a student as homeless if he or she lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. In practical terms, the student is classified as homeless if he or she lives in emergency or transitional shelters; motels, hotels, trailer parks or camping grounds; shared housing due to loss of housing or economic hardship; hospitals secondary to abandonment or await-

LWSD enrollment to grow by 4,000 in next nine years The report showed a need for more classroom space to house those students. While the district is serving 25,408 students as counted in October 2012, that number will grow to 29,696 in the 2021-22 school year. Pierce explained that LWSD officials are doing preliminary planning for
funding measures that may be put on the February 2014 ballot. She noted that the district is looking at enrollment projections and other data to help inform initial planning, adding that the district will seek community input later in the spring. Pierce’s goal is to have a recommendation to the board
by late May or June for measures to be considered in February 2014. A bond measure could include funding to build new schools or additions to current schools to house the current and growing enrollment. Another option to meet enrollment needs could include changing
feeder patterns or boundaries to send students to schools where there may be over capacity. However, there is not enough excess capacity alone to meet the total space needs expected. Fogard recalled that before 2010, the district saw enrollment begin to increase again, after several

alarming to officials who work with homeless youth daily. “These numbers are high but they don’t represent all the kids in the community that are homeless,” said President and CEO of Friends of Youth Terry Pottmeyer. “A lot of kids don’t report that they are in need of stable housing.” Friends of Youth is an Eastside nonprofit organization committed to helping homeless kids. It can be very difficult for kids to come forward and it may be easy to keep their situation concealed from school administration. “Of course, as with most homelessness data, these numbers too are likely under-estimates, as it only includes students who identified themselves as homeless to a school
staff member,” said Rider. “Many other kids may be living in their family’s car, for instance, but be unwilling to admit it to their peers or teachers.” The most striking thing about the numbers from 2011-2012 are how many are of the younger age levels. Twenty pre-kindergarten students were listed as homeless, while nearly 60 were between kindergarten and third grade. Bellevue had the most kindergartners with 21, while Issaquah had the most first graders with 19. One of the most stunning trends in the numbers was how the numbers decline as the kids get older, but that could be due to how willing those kids are to admitting they are homeless. LWSD had the most homeless kids on the Eastside in
grades 2, 3 and 9. LWSD was also anomalous as it nearly doubled the next closest district’s total with 23 seniors in high school reporting they were homeless. “Many older kids want to continue to fit in,” said Pottmeyer. “They want to do everything they can to appear normal and won’t self report. Some are couch surfing and living with someone else. They don’t think they are homeless.” Pottmeyer said that during the past two years Friends of Youth has seen a dramatic 48 percent increase in the use of their services.

Washington state receives about $950,000 per year from the federal government to help homeless students. That money is given to districts in the form of competitive grants, with money going to districts with the greatest need. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction stated that 27,390 students reported being homeless statewide during the 2011-2012 school year. That number is up 5.1 percent from 2010-11 and up 46.7 percent from 2007-08.

Adi (youngest of six) born to John and Mary Waters in Walville, WA (near Pe Ell). Her father, John, passed in 1919 when Adi was only five years old leaving Mary to call on the children to help, that’s where her strong work ethic started! Adi met and married the love of her life Floyd Kindrick. They owned and operated two restaurants in Redmond, Adi Bons and Adi’s Café. A daily stop for many of Redmondites. Adi also employed some of the best gals Redmond had to offer.There was a jukebox in the corner, fresh coffee, good conversation and homemade food. Not only did Adi and Floyd operate the restaurant but they grew a huge garden. So much work took its toll on Adi; she suffered a massive stroke in the late 1960’s. This sadly brought an end to Adi’s Café; she was to never work again. Adi recovered nicely in time. They loved gardening and their three little teacup poodles. Cancer took her beloved Floyd in 1974. It’s been 39 years since Floyd passed and not a day went by that she didn’t long for him. Thank you Adi for all the years of love, laughter and great memories.You are missed and will be loved always. Floyd and Adi rest at Cedar Lawns Memorial Park in Redmond. 741781

Bikram himself, founder of this practice. It led to transformation. Hedgeman started practicing Bikram yoga in prison. On Sept. 1, 2000 he was released on parole and became deeply involved with the practice. He went to study yoga in San Francisco, where, thanks to a previous employer, he was able to afford the classes. His ex-boss saw potential in him, Hedgeman said. He practiced twice a day, 11 classes a week, for 61 days. After becoming a certified yoga instructor, Hedgeman started teaching in San Francisco. It was a “humbling work,” he said. He worked and lived in the studio where he taught. Hedgeman said he was “eating and breathing” yoga. Looking back, he said, “I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.” Initially, during his practice Hedgeman felt like crying. He felt hurt inside him, and for a long time he couldn’t identify what he was experiencing. One day he realized that he was transitioning from the “old him” into the “new him”; he was finally open to seeing himself and loving himself, while also feeling all of the past pain and everything that he had been through. He was letting go of the anger and the addiction. “I was taking out the poison,” he said. When you start practicing yoga, you begin the self-realization process, he said. With yoga you start to see different images coming out of you, and you begin to love the person that you have become. He said he learned how to be tolerant, patient and “in a beautiful relationship with myself.” “Judgment does not exist in
the yoga culture,” he said, and added, “it’s a strong community.” Hedgeman has been clean of drugs for 12 years, and he continues to be an active yoga practitioner and coach. Nowadays, you can find him teaching at the Bikram Yoga Redmond studio. Yoga instructors from all corners of the world help, teach and support one another, Hedgeman said. This is why, before he even arrived to Seattle on Oct. 2, 2012, Hedgeman already had a job awaiting him. His previous boss, Lynn Whitlow, and manger of Bikram Yoga in Petaluma, Calif., contacted Jen Anderson, the owner of Bikram Yoga Redmond to let her know that Hedgeman was moving to the Seattle area. He was hired. Anderson said: “I feel inspired by Nosh’s story.” He
AN ONGOING EFFORT
The RESPECT assembly is just the beginning for RHS. Suwaneh said they plan to continue the message throughout the rest of the year. The plan is to show videos in the classroom as a followup. In addition, they hope to have a few students “is exactly what Bikram yoga is all about, it’s for anyone and everyone.” She also added that her favorite kinds of teachers are the ones with a story; because of their own life experiences they are able to teach others about internal beauty, appreciation and joy better than anyone else. Sharing how one can overcome difficulties and reconstruct their own life, she added, is an incredibly valuable aspect of teaching. Simon Zand, a nine-year yoga practitioner and student at Bikram Yoga Redmond, said Hedgeman motivates him. Zand has a tremendous amount of respect for Hedgeman, as an instructor and as a person. His achievements, dedication, strong practice and positive thinking encourages students and non-student. “He is a very good man,”
Zand added. Hedgeman’s dream is to open a yoga studio himself where he can offer anyone and everyone the physical and mental help they need during their healing journey.

RHS principal Jane Todd said the students did a fantastic job with the assembly as the topic of respect has the potential to be “preachy” or sad. She said the organizers made sure to have a nice combination of thought-provoking and touching activities. Todd particularly enjoyed a portion of the assembly in which students were asked to stand up if particular statements applied to them. The statements began with
swap lives for a day with each other, teachers and other staff throughout the school so people have a better understanding of how the people around them live. The organizers wanted to do this before the RESPECT assembly and show a video, but they weren’t able to coordinate schedules and other logistics in time. At the end of the year, Suwaneh said they want to have a “challenge day,” which will be similar to the “stand up if” activity during Wednesday’s assembly. However for this day, students would be in smaller groups and the questions would be even more personal. Martinez said they hope the assembly will be the starting point of a safe environment within the school community in which people can come out from behind the walls they build around themselves and allow themselves to be vulnerable because they know they will be respected.

A PERSONAL TOUCH
broader subjects such as whether students had siblings or wanted to go to college. They gradually dug deeper below the surface, asking whether students felt they had a place for them at RHS, whether they worried about their next meal or having a roof over their head and more. It was stressed that the activity was voluntary but this didn’t stop students from acknowledging some of their personal struggles. “I was really pleased and touched,” Todd said about witnessing this.

diversity are wide ranging and go beyond the scope of race and ethnicity. “It’s trying to hit many needs across the school,” said RHS activities coordinator Myra Arnone, who is the adviser for the leadership class. Arnone said rather than focusing on an anti-bullying message, the RESPECT Assembly is focused on the school coming together — a more positive way of approaching things. Martinez said they hope the assembly will help improve school culture and the way students interact with each other. The assembly began with a video called “Perspectacles,” which focuses on looking below the surface and realizing not everyone is as they seem. “You don’t see everything at a glance,” Martinez said, adding that the goal is to show that people are multifaceted.
“You should take that into consideration.” While leadership students organized the assembly, they recruited students outside of their class to be the emcees: seniors Kara Chambers and Ben Sechrest and junior Sarang Joshi. Chambers said the message of respect is a very important one and “you just hope it gets across.”

The Seattle resident since 1975 died of heart failure, said Cohen, who lives in Portland, Ore., where Don was born and raised. He never married or had any children. School officials have set up a memorial space at Rockwell in the covered area and they invite students, past students and families to add their thoughts to the space. Wong earned his degree in education and master’s in physical education from Oregon State University, and earned a juris doctorate from the American College of Law. His mother never let him play football because she felt it was too rough, Cohen said, but Wong gravitated toward the rugby pitch in college and played all over the United States, in New Zealand and in London. “People used to call him ‘grandpa’ and say they were going to knock his teeth out,” Cohen
“The community has lost such a great educator.” Keli Mineishi, one of Don Wong’s former students
said of Wong’s veteran status on rugby teams. During one rugby match in San Diego, Calif., Wong’s mother sat on the sideline and took in the game. At one point, Wong got knocked about in the scrum and ran off the field. “He said, ‘Mom, hold these.’ They were his two front teeth,” Cohen said with a laugh. “I thought she was going to pass out.” Cohen added that her brother loved Hawaii, its sandy beaches and the sound of ukulele music. Wong’s students and their parents are feeling the loss of the Rockwell teacher. “He is the inspiration for my education major to become a PE/health teacher,” said former student Keli Mineishi. “We joked all the time about how I would replace him when he retired. I am devastated; the commu-

You had a gift and they responded to you and they (and we) are better for it. Thank you for being an inspiration to my kids and to the thousands of others that you touched. Your memory and legacy will live on,” reads a note by Heidi Arizala Showman on a Wong remembrance Facebook page. A funeral service will be at noon on Sunday at Riverview Cemetery, 0300 S.W. Taylors Ferry Road, Portland. Condolences for the family can be sent to: Wong family, 12139 S.E. Slavel St., Portland, OR 97266.

total of 66,280 apps on Amazon’s Android App store, according to Hughes. The partnership between Hughes and Koffron started when they worked together at Microsoft. Hughes left his job as a project manager there in 2010 to start his own app company, Digitalchemy. Before leaving, he led the Windows 8 App Store, and his interactions with other app developers at the time contributed to his decision. “I was going and talking to all these app developers and I thought, ‘Man, they all look like they’re having more fun than me,’” Hughes said. “So I left Microsoft … and basically started this thing out of my house.” Koffron is still a full-time Microsoft employee, and came along as a part-time addition to Digitalchemy. He often works nights and weekends, and helped Hughes lay the foundation for the two calculator apps. Before Calculator Plus gained popularity, the two remember looking at a spreadsheet every day with all of the Kindle Fire calculator applications on it. Others were ahead of Calculator Plus, so they decided to offer a free version. Shortly after that happened, USA Today included Calculator Plus in its “25

Calculator Plus and Fraction Calculator are the culmination of Hughes and Koffron’s learning experiences. Digitalchemy has released other apps to the marketplace, but none has come close to the success of these two. “We learned a lot about what doesn’t work,” Hughes noted. And perhaps most importantly, they learned that simplicity is what leads to installs for these particular apps. Hughes and Koffron have received feedback from users, who asked for Calculator Plus to add scientific functions. That’s not what earned it its No. 3 ranking, though. “We really learned that a successful app is small, it’s simple,” Hughes said. “It focuses on what it’s trying to solve.” Since Isabel helped her father and Koffron in the development process for Fraction Calculator and Calculator Plus, they want to keep her involved. And while Isabel doesn’t have plans to become an engineer like dad, she said she wants to keep helping Digitalchemy with ideas and testing — especially when it means staying up past her bedtime.

Essential Apps,” leading to a large increase in installs. This meant less money per install but, as Koffron pointed out, it hasn’t been a bad thing for Digitalchemy. “It turns out that free isn’t really free,” he said. “We still get ad revenue (and) we have massively more installs. You don’t get as much revenue per person because the ads don’t pay that much, but it does kind of build up over time.” Hughes and Koffron are responsible for the programming and development of the two apps, but Isabel gets credit for the initial idea and hours of testing. “I tested out the apps even past my bedtime,” she said. Isabel pointed out that many of her friends at school have the app. Neither she, her dad nor Koffron anticipated its success. “I was really surprised, because we’re just a family working in a basement,” she said. This wasn’t Isabel’s first technology-related idea, either. When she was 9, and her father was still working at Microsoft, she suggested a new layout for Bing’s imagesearch engine. Hughes took her design to the head of Bing’s marketing team, and they implemented it. “If you go to Bing image search today, it works the way she thought of,” Hughes said.

Ah, our aching feet. They are only about 3 percent of our entire body mass, but they carry 100 percent of our body
mass everywhere. Talk about a huge responsibility! Add the demands of running, hiking, carrying babies, groceries, a spare tire — our poor feet do so much and get so little in return. It seems the only time we really seem to think about them is when they’re hurting. A lot. What can you do for your aching feet? Well, first, treat
them right. Make sure you have good, comfortable shoes and socks from the start, and replace them as needed. This is one area where an investment is needed — get the best shoes for your lifestyle, which usually aren’t cheap, and you’ll save yourself from lots of hurt (and trips to the foot doctor) later. When a client comes to me with a foot complaint, the first thing I do is look at his shoes, and ask him how old they are. It’s usually time to get a new pair. Something I frequently hear is, “I think I have plantar fasciitis.” When people have moderate to severe foot pain, they usually assume plantar fasciitis is to blame, but is it really? It’s important to be able to talk about where your foot pain is so you can more accurately treat it. Of course, a doctor’s diagnosis is always best — but

be specific about where the pain is and you’ll have a better chance of feeling better, faster. Is the foot pain on the bottom of the heel and up toward the arch of the foot? Do you have “first step” pain when you wake up, and after sitting for some time? Congratulations, it’s probably the plantar fascia, and it’s likely you have plantar fasciitis (of course, check with your doctor to make sure). But the majority of clients I see complain of back-of-the-heel pain and going up the back of the calf — the Achilles tendon (or calcaneal tendon to us anatomy nerds) can become irritated and mimic plantar fasciitis pain, but if you’re doing a plantar fasciitis treatment on Achilles tendonitis, chances are it’ll take much longer to feel better because you’re addressing the wrong problem. So, how can you help your feet? Well, as with almost any “-itis” issue, rest is key. There’s an overuse going on and your body is trying to tell you to take it easy. But we’re a multi-tasking society! How can we keep our busy lifestyle if we’re just resting? A daily 15-minute warm foot soak is a great way to get some rest, and if you just use a big soup pot and some Epsom salt, you can still be connected to whatever gadget fits your fancy while you give yourself a break. Just be sure not to drop your gadget into the water! Orthotics can also help — your friendly foot doctor can help you with the right custom fit. This route can take a few days to weeks to see relief, because orthotics gradually change the way you move (your gait) and help you move more efficiently over time. How can massage therapy help ease your foot pain? With plantar fasciitis, there is a nearguarantee you have a bit of scar tissue built up, because it takes quite a bit of time to build up. Massage can help break up the scar tissue and get things a bit more organized in the foot. With Achilles tendonitis, massage can help push the “restart” button on your tired calves and increase circulation so the inflammation is soothed more quickly. I personally also like to add a few essential oils, such as peppermint to help with inflammation and rosemary to help increase circulation. In any event, your tootsies are probably overdue for a welldeserved rest, so get them in a warm Epsom salt soak today!

Staff Report
There will be a handful of Redmond High swimmers and divers in the pool this weekend at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. At the 4A state meet prelims tonight, sophomore Xavier Graham will get the most action in the 200-yard individual medley, 100yard freestyle and as a member of the 200-yard medley relay and 400Xavier Graham yard freestyle relay. Brothers Phillip and Eric Klassen will compete in the diving event and as members of the 400 free relay. Eric will also be part of the 200 medley relay. Rounding out the Mustang lineup will be seniors Albert Jiang (200 medley relay) and Nicholas Kodati (200 medley relay, 100 fly and 400 free relay). Last year at state, Kodati took 10th in the 100 fly, Graham competed in the 200 individual medley and both were on the 200 medley relay and 400 free relay. Jiang was part of the 200 medley relay. As for the Klassens, it will be each diver’s third time at state. Phillip, a senior, took third as a sophomore and ninth as a freshman (he also qualified for state last year, but sat out because of a back injury). Eric, a junior, finished fourth as a sophomore and 12th as a freshman. Eric and Phillip are ranked second and third, respectively, in the state with their top scores of 407.25 and 401.40. Other Mustang high marks this season are: 200 medley relay (1 minute, 44.94 seconds), Graham’s 200 individual medley (2:03.34), Kodati’s 100 fly (54.71), Graham’s 100 free (50.95) and the 400 free relay (3:27.27).

That’s what Redmond High’s Sierra Mukerjee will be feeling at 4A state gymnastics meet

Sierra Mukerjee gets a thrill out of leaping, tumbling and dancing. When she’s in the spotlight, the Redmond High freshman steps up her floor exercise routine a few notches. “It’s like an adrenaline rush,” she said. “You can’t explain it… when the crowd’s watching you and your team is cheering you on.” At a small 4-foot-11 stature, Mukerjee has been hitting her front pike “super high” on the floor this season and she’ll be displaying that skill and others on the floor, vault and beam at the 4A state meet this weekend at the Tacoma Dome Exhibition Center. Her preliminary schedule today will be: beam at 10:05 a.m., floor at 10:55 a.m. and vault at 11:45 a.m. The finals will begin at 11:20 a.m. tomorrow. The 15-year-old placed in the top 10 in those events at the recent district meet, including a fourth-place finish on the floor (9.6) and a fifthplace finish on the vault (9.25). Mukerjee’s high scores this year are 9.625 on the floor and 9.4 on vault. She added that she hit four 9.4s in a row on vault during league competitions. “I just try and clear my mind and think about how I’m going to land perfectly,” she said of her vault success. To prepare for state, this week’s training sessions at the Eastside Gymnastics Academy in Woodinville consisted of conditioning, practicing more skills and doubling the amount of times she ran through her three events daily. Mukerjee is confident in her skills, but also a

REPORTER
little nervous heading into the state meet. It’s a normal reaction, she said, adding that she’s primed to compete. Gymnastics flew onto Mukerjee’s radar at age 4, and minus one year off to play ice hockey on a boys team at age 8, she’s been spending time in the gym ever since. She previously spent five days a week, five to six hours a day working out with her club team at the Leading Edge Gymnastics Academy in Everett, but now she’s toned down that intense schedule to focus on Redmond High gymnastics and “balance her life” with school activities, her mother Petra said. Petra enjoyed watching Sierra shine at the districts meet. The girl who once held a pink hockey stick and battled with the boys took charge in the gymnastics arena. (Petra and her husband Kris are originally from Pickering, Ontario, Canada, which explains Sierra’s hockey phase.) “She’s tough, she’s always been a confident young lady. She’s become more graceful in the sport,” said Petra, adding that all the girls at districts put in solid efforts. Sierra said to make it to state, it’s all about “hard work, coming into practice, staying later, listening to your coach and having fun.” She credits one of her mentors, Chinese gymnast Lu Li, for providing encouragement. Li, who earned a gold medal with a perfect 10 on the bars at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, has coached Sierra and offered words of wisdom. “She told me you should always strive to be happy no matter what you do. As long as you work to your potential,” Sierra said.
