Capstone purchases Group Health site for $32.5 million Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Mike Hubbard of Capstone Partners feels the Group Health Cooperative Redmond campus is an ideal, 28-acre site waiting to be built upon.

“It is hard to imagine a better urban in‐fill site in the Puget Sound — significant density adjacent to a highway, across the street from Microsoft and within a few blocks of every major retailer a household could need,” Hubbard said.

Last Friday, Capstone and its investment partner Lionstone U.S. Land Two, L.P. announced that they purchased the campus, located between the Microsoft main campus and the 1.5 million-square-foot Overlake Village shopping neighborhood, for $32.5 million, according to public documents.

When completed, the site will include more than 3 million square feet of space including 1.1 million square feet of office and retail space, more than 1,400 residential units and nearly 300 hotel rooms.

“Our vision for Overlake to be an urban center that’s tech friendly has been in the city’s plans for at least 14 years, if not more,” Redmond Mayor John Marchione said. “It’s going to have a light-rail station in 2023. It’s exciting to see this new neighborhood start to poke out of the ground,

Taking the plunge to support Special Olympics About 118 brave people participated in the Redmond Police Department’s (RPD) annual Polar Plunge on Saturday to raise funds for Special Olympics Washington at Idylwood Beach Park at Lake Sammamish in Redmond. Jim Bove, RPD spokesperson, believes the water temperature was about 40 degrees, but he never got a final confirmation. Bove said it was a record-breaking seventh annual event with the amount of plungers and about $28,000 in donations at press time. Their previous high for both was last year when they had 73 plungers and slightly more than $11,000 raised for Special Olympics Washington. They have raised about $73,000 over the last seven years. “We introduced the Special Olympic athletes individually before doing the plunge and they really enjoyed that. In all, over 200 people were at the event. And Chief (Ron) Gibson plunged with us since we hit our goal of $25,000,” Bove said. Photo courtesy of Alyse Young

and over the next five to 10 years, we’re going to see it bloom.”

Marchione said the area is now dominated by parking lots, which will become livable and workable spaces and spots for entertainment. He also envisions Overlake as a pedestrian-friendly village with residents walking to work at nearby companies like Microsoft, Nintendo and Honeywell.

Jeri Rowe-Curtis, the city’s chief police adviser and community and marketing administrator, said the coordination of the business community, residential space and open space will give the area a “sense of connectedness” and an environmentally friendly feel.

Bill Biggs, Group Health vice president of Administrative Services, said the sale is a “significant milestone in bringing this urban neighborhood a step closer to reality.”

And there will be trees on site. Plenty of them, note Hubbard and Marchione, who have been in contact with each other regarding the 1,000 or so trees that will need to be removed in order for Capstone to build on the site.

“We’re going to plant a forest when all is said and done,” Hubbard said.

For example, Stilin, who serves on the Sound Cities Association’s (SCA) Regional Law, Safety and Justice (RLSJ) committee, said if there is funding available for the whole region but it’s voted to go toward waterfront development, communities without ports — such as Redmond — would not benefit from this. A representative from the city would be able to argue Redmond’s case and make a suggestion that would benefit the city and surrounding area.

Some of the regional committees and boards Marchione serves on

include the Cascade Water Alliance (CWA), Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) executive board, Northeast Regional Public Safety Communications Agency (NORCOM), A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) and the Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency (EPSCA). He has also been recently elected to the 2013 board of directors for Sound Cities Association (SCA), which represents 35 cities in King County and provides a regional voice for nearly 1 million people.

Marchione is also serving his second term on the board of directors of Sound

Transit, having been reappointed by King County Executive Dow Constantine.

“We’re very pleased that the county executive reappointed me last year,” Marchione said.

City Council members serve on boards and committees addressing issues ranging from human services and economic development to growth management and the environment.

Some of the outside organizations council President Pat Vache is involved in include the Eastside Human Services Forum, Lake Washington Schools Foundation and Hopelink.

He said by having council members involved in groups and organizations outside of the city, it increases the influence of Redmond in regional issues and prepares council members to be better able to serve citizens.

While some citizens may think the mayor and council members being involved in regional groups may be distracting, City Council member Hank Myers doesn’t see it that way.

He said as a City Council member, he must understand issues affecting the community and in many cases, that means going beyond his role as a council member.

Myers, whose outside involvement includes serving as chair for the Together Center in Redmond and has served on various committees related to regional transportation, said it’s also important to know what is going on throughout the region and learn from other communities.

After more than a year of negotiations with lenders, Washington Cathedral will be selling its properties and buildings at 12300 Woodinville-Redmond Rd. N.E. in Redmond.

Washington Cathedral’s pastoral staff released an official statement on the church’s blog: “Washington Cathedral is being forced by our lenders to sell our property. The good news is the church is not now nor ever has been the buildings. And our property is worth significantly more than we owe.

The 60-year-old man who was found dead in a mini-van near Redmond Ridge on March 4 has been identified as Irvin Giesler, according to Sgt. Cindi West, King County Sheriff ’s Office public information officer.

church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.”

The blog states that the church currently owes $14.6 million on the property and the monthly payments of $70,000 “is way above (their) capacity to pay at this time.”

“We have been working with our lenders for over a year now to try to renegotiate the terms of our loans to reduce those payments,” the blog states. “After many meetings, phone conversations and written correspondence, it became clear that the only option that was acceptable to our lenders was to sell our property and pay them off.”

According to the blog, the property is more valuable than the amount Washington Cathedral owes

its lenders and when they sell and the church should be able to pay off their loans and still have a good nest egg to reinvest for its relocation. With the property’s current zoning, the buyer for the property will likely be some sort of nonprofit or school, the blog states.

Officials state on the blog that church members were initially shocked by the news but once they learned more facts, “most have come to understand that this is not a setback of any kind, but rather a new opportunity for (them) to grow and strengthen the ministries of Washington Cathedral.”

A Reporter call to the cathedral’s offices was not returned prior to deadline for this issue.

education deserves.

“Our focus is on jobs and education in a collaborative environment,” Tom said.

Hunter said he understands the frustrations of the 48th District regarding the budget.

“Class size matters, but it is profoundly expensive,” he said.

Washington state lawmakers are required to channel the appropriate funds into education by 2018, according to the McCleary decision.

King County Medical Examiner estimated that Giesler was at the crash site for about four days before he was located. West noted that there was no missing person report filed prior to the March 4 discovery.

Giesler was the owner of Raining Cats & Dogs pet food store located on Northeast Marketplace Drive in Redmond in the same building where Mutt N Chop’s pet grooming is presently in business.

Mutt N Chop’s owner Heather Ormsbee shared the building with Giesler for four years. Giesler

shuttered his business four months ago, Ormsbee said.

“I did not get to thank him for the opportunity for helping me in this business,” Ormsbee said of Giesler’s kindness.

West said the accident was near a “T” intersection with Redmond Ridge Drive Northeast running south from Novelty Hill Road. She added that the mini-van was headed northbound on Redmond Ridge Drive Northeast and drove through the intersection, up a 30-foot embankment and crashed into the wooded area.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

“Are you following the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament?”

When I graduated from the University of Washington’s (UW) journalism program in June 2008, the use of social media in the industry was still fairly new.

Most publications had websites with comments sections for readers’ responses but other than that, there weren’t many opportunities for reporters to directly interact with their readers. We could reply to an email, take a phone call or meet with an individual who’d stopped by the newsroom, but those situations, in my experience, were rare unless someone was particularly passionate about something we’d printed.

But now with social media, readers can comment on stories on our website, through Facebook or tweet us on Twitter.

And for those who think we don’t pay attention to those comments, we do.

There have been a number of cases where readers have posted followup questions, pointed out where we may have gotten our facts mixed up and even corrected us on our (occasional) spelling errors. And when we’ve become aware of this, we’ve worked to answer those questions, clear up any confusion or run spell check as fast as possible in order to provide our readers with a quality paper.

In addition to keeping us on our toes, social media is another forum for community conversation. With our stories as a starting point, I have seen readers engage in dialogue with each other on topics that interest them,

from sharing what they would like to see come to downtown Redmond to commiserating together over the closing of a popular ice creamery to asking why the post office can’t come back to downtown. And whether the comments are good or bad, as a community newspaper, we welcome your feedback because it shows we are covering issues that matter to the community.

I’ll admit when I first learned about Twitter in college, I was a bit skeptical of its purpose and usefulness. I didn’t join the “Twittersphere” until just after I started working at the Redmond Reporter. As I began tweeting the stories I’d written for the paper, I noticed I began gaining followers with Redmond connections. I found this encouraging as people began recognizing my byline and knowing who I was.

But the true power of Twitter in journalism was revealed to me when a reader who followed me on Twitter sent me a direct message about a bank robbery downtown with the suspect still at large. The Redmond Police Department (RPD) notified us within minutes of my receiving the message, but if they hadn’t, that message I’d received would have prompted us to contact them before they contacted us.

As much as you may see me or my editor Andy Nystrom out and about town, we can’t always be there when breaking news happens. But when it does happen and we’re on it, social media is a tool we use to keep readers abreast of the story as it develops.

Don’t be afraid to talk openly with your kids about drugs and alcohol We all want to know what our kids are being exposed to at school and within the community. And no doubt, there are some things we should be paying attention to, especially when it comes to substance use.

Drug and Alcohol Trends

Drug and alcohol use is one of the biggest concerns parents have.

A look at trends for Youth Eastside Services (YES) clients over the past three years shows a slight decrease in alcohol use, although it’s still the No. 1 drug of choice. According to the 2010 Healthy Youth Survey given in local schools, 25 percent of high school seniors have binge drank in the past two weeks — that’s five or more drinks in a row.

Forty-one percent of teens have had a glass or bottle of alcohol in the past month; of those, 28 percent are heavy or problem drinkers.

With laws and social mores changing around marijuana, it’s

not surprising to see a 15 percent increase in marijuana use among teens seen at YES. Eighty-nine percent report it as the first or second drug of choice, and it’s the No. 1 drug that brings kids in for treatment. It’s important for parents to understand that marijuana today is much stronger — eight times stronger than the “weed” of the ‘60s. Despite this, kids are less worried about it. In fact, more kids see dangers in alcohol use or second-hand smoke than marijuana.

Perhaps most concerning has been the increase in reported heroin use.

As education on prescription opiate use has resulted in a decline in availability, the increase in street price (some as much as $80 or more per pill) has led youth to heroin as a less expensive alternative — about $10 a hit for a two- to four-hour high.

Three years ago, YES had no kids admitting to heroin use. Last year, 6 percent said they used the drug. Because heroin is among Patti Skelton-McGougan

Question of the week:

Reporters, readers benefit from using social media

YOUTH EASTSIDE SERVICES

REDMOND

OPINION

www.redmond-reporter.com

the most addictive drugs out there, this relatively modest increase means this trend deserves close scrutiny and action.

Homemade drugs continue to be a challenge, in part because their highs can be so dangerous and unpredictable. Though Washington state has outlawed spice and bath salts, two drugs that were readily available in smoke shops, teens are still finding access to them. Many feel they are a safe high because they can be purchased at a local store, but nothing could be further from the truth. Last year a teen high on bath salts stabbed and killed the girl he was getting high with, during a moment of extreme paranoia.

What Parents Can Do

It’s important to remember that drugs and alcohol are around and available to our kids, and that kids from every socioeconomic background are at risk for alcohol and drug use.

In some ways, teens from higher income families are at greater risk for having resources to

purchase and a greater likelihood to drive under the influence. Stay alert to what’s happening in your neighborhood, or maybe even in your home. Kids are in crisis everywhere.

Don’t be afraid to talk openly with your kids about drugs.

Studies show that when parents disapprove about something and make it known, their kids are less likely to engage in the risky behavior. If you do need help, remember that YES serves clients from all income levels; no one is turned away for inability to pay. Our counselors are available to answer questions if you have concerns, and our speakers may be scheduled to speak to a group at your school or place of worship.

As alarming as drug and alcohol use may be, there are other issues plaguing our kids, as well.

Next month I will touch on these and other ways parents can help.

Sunrise Elementary School second-grader Olivia Torrie purses her lips and thinks carefully about what she’s learned from participating in the school’s Rachel’s Challenge Through the Arts Program.

“To be nice to others,” she answers and nods her head in a yes motion when asked if that kindness has caught on

with her classmates at school.

On Tuesday night, a host of Sunrise first- through sixthgraders and their parents joined staff members for the fifth annual art night, which featured many pieces focused on the Rachel’s Challenge theme.

Darrel and Sandy Scott started the program in honor of Rachel, who was the first student killed in the Colorado Columbine High School

shootings in 1999. Rachel’s father and stepmother took her inspired writings and drawings to heart, especially her message about students being bullied, teased and harassed at school: “I have this theory that if one can go out of their way to show compassion, it will start a chain reaction of the same.”

Speaking of chains, Nicki Foran, Sunrise PTA copresident, said that since

October, students have been writing others’ good deeds on pieces of paper and forming chains that have taken up loads of classroom space.

Olivia proudly said that her classroom has “eight-hundred and 20-something” links.

At the 100-day mark of Rachel’s Challenge, Foran said they measured how long each classroom’s chains were: they amounted to more than 450 feet, almost to the height of the Smith Tower in Seattle. The chains are longer now, and the students are shooting to have their chains be the same height as the Space Needle’s observation deck (520 feet).

“We’re trying to challenge them to keep doing good acts,” said Foran, noting that the students’ artwork was filled with positive words — like “wanted,” “welcome” and “important” — to keep spirits high.

“The main message we’re trying to get across from Rachel’s Challenge is to stand up for your friends and stand up for people you don’t know,” Foran said. “If you see something going on, just put a good spin on it and bring them out of the bad.”

Bear Creek Watershed Forum set for March 27

The Adopt A Stream Foundation (AASF) will be conducting a free Bear Creek Watershed Forum at 7 p.m. on March 27 at the Redmond Regional Library, 15990 N.E. 85th St. Bear Creek flows from its headwaters near the Paradise Valley Conservation Area in Snohomish County, downstream into King County and the City of Redmond before entering the Sammamish River and flowing into Lake Washington to Puget Sound via the Ballard Locks.

According to AASF Director Tom Murdoch, Bear Creek is one of the most productive salmon streams connected to the Sammamish River system.

“Chinook, silver, sockeye and kokanee salmon call Bear Creek home, as do steelhead, resident and sea-run cutthroat trout, sculpin and brook lamprey,” says Murdoch.

Washington State Department of Ecology (WDOE) studies show that Bear Creek is suffering from a variety of pollutants including fecal coliform bacteria, as well

as abnormally high water temperatures. Washington State Department of fish and Wildlife records show that the salmon runs are declining.

Thanks to support from a WDOE grant, AASF has been making some positive changes in the watershed.

During the last three years, AASF’s Stream Team has been walking “door to door” along Bear Creek requesting permission from streamside landowners to evaluate the ecological health of the stream on their property and to “prescribe” corrective actions to any water quality or fish habitat degradation problems that were discovered.

AASF Ecologist Brooke Clement says, “We received very positive responses from landowners, identified several opportunities to improve Bear Creek’s condition and developed great partnerships that have resulted in: 2.7 acres of restored riparian zone over 0.9 miles, installed 10 fish habitat structures and made 600 face-toface contacts with local watershed residents and volunteers.” Clement advises that a great team of partners has evolved including the Bear Creek Water Tenders, local watershed residents who have been longtime stewards of Bear Creek.

for these activities goes toward the materials needed for the day.

Funding for this comes from a grant from the Japan Foundation in Los Angeles, Kuyper said.

In addition to the instructors and experts, students from Bellevue College will be on hand to help out throughout the day.

There will also be a Japanese field day and quiz bowl in the afternoon.

Next week’s camp will bring about 110 ninth- to 12th-graders to RHS from 13 schools. Kuyper said they will be mostly Western Washington schools coming from as far north as Marysville to as far south as Tacoma. This will be the first time in its 15-year history that the camp will include a school from outside of the Puget Sound area.

A school from Ellensburg will be coming to the camp, as well.

Kuyper said logistically, it is too difficult to bring schools over from Eastern Washington, but coming from Ellensburg is feasible. He added that he also has connections with the Ellensburg school as he used to teach there before coming to the Lake Washington School District.

RHS sophomore Conner York will be attending the camp for the first time this year. The third-year Japanese student first learned about the camp last year. He said Kuyper, who also teaches at Redmond Middle School, told him about the camp. York also heard from classmates who attended the camp and had “a great experience, so (he) wanted to try it this year.”

“The things I’m looking forward most to are the various culture activities there are, including cooking and origami,” he said.

video game design coursework and/or degrees. The 50-question survey asked schools to report on a range of topics from academic offerings and faculty credentials to graduates’ employment and professional achievements.

Among criteria The Princeton Review weighed to make its selections were: the school curriculum, faculty, facilities, and infrastructure, plus career services, student scholarships and financial aid.

Upon learning that DigiPen was included on the Princeton Review’s list for the fourth consecutive year, President Claude Comair said, “We are very proud of our students, faculty and staff for the outstanding work they do. We will continue to strive to provide our students with the best education possible. We congratulate the other schools on the list for all their contributions to this field of study, which in turn produces top-notch professionals who propel the game industry to new heights.”

watershed is invited to the Bear Creek Watershed Forum to learn more about the creek’s problems, corrective actions that have been completed and what new steps are needed,” says Clement.

DigiPen Institute of Technology earns high rankings

DigiPen Institute of Technology has earned a No. 3 ranking on The Princeton Review’s justpublished list saluting the best undergraduate schools in the U.S. and Canada to study video game design for 2013. DigiPen was also recognized with a No. 6 ranking for its graduate degree program.

Since the Princeton Review began publishing its video game design ranking lists four years ago, DigiPen has been rated one of the top four undergraduate schools every year.

The report, “Top Schools to Study Video Game Design for 2013,” is based on a survey The Princeton Review conducted in 2012-13 of 150 programs at institutions in the U.S and Canada offering

Fire department receives Vision 20/20 Grant

The City of Redmond Fire Department (RFD) has been awarded a Vision 20/20 Grant through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program.

York said he believes it is very important for people to learn foreign languages because it allows people to connect with other cultures.

“People need to be able to be sympathetic to others, but that can only happen when they understand the other person’s culture,” he said. “These foreign language classes allow us to learn about the other cultures of the world. I’m actually a bit sad that we can only learn about one country for an extended amount of time.”

Although he is looking forward to camp, York admits he is a bit nervous to spend a whole day speaking only Japanese.

“I’ve never even gone a whole class period without speaking some English, so I hope I don’t have too much trouble doing it for a whole day,” he said.

The grant provides resources for 2,500 smoke alarms, 15 hearingimpaired smoke alarms and 1,000 home-safety assessments for families located within the RFD response area.

Through this grant, RFD will be able to provide educational homesafety assessments, which consist of testing and installing smoke alarms, identifying potential fire and safety hazards, educating residents how to prevent cooking fires and helping them create an escape plan.

The smoke alarm installations and safety assessments are free to Redmond residents and are conducted by RFD personnel.

Residents may benefit from this service if they don’t have working smoke alarms in each sleeping area and on each level of their home or if they would appreciate assistance in creating a fire-escape

plan. This service will also identify potential fire-hazard risks in homes. Although this grant targets multi-family buildings (including apartments and condominiums that do not have fire sprinkler systems), this service is also available to residents in singlefamily homes.

“Home fire-safety assessments, regularly practiced fire drills and working smoke alarms are essential for your family’s safety,” said Redmond Assistant Fire Marshal Todd Short. “Let Redmond Fire help keep you and your family safe by conducting a free 20-30-minute home-safety assessment and smoke-alarm tests.”

For more information about how to have Redmond Fire conduct an informational home-safety assessment with smoke alarm installation, call (425) 556-2264.

Communicating with someone from a different country takes more than just knowing their native language — it is also important to be aware of cultural customs and cues on how to act appropriate in various situations.

To help their students in this, the Washington Association of Teachers of Japanese — with financial assistance from the Consulate General of Japan’s Seattle office — sponsors a Japanese Immersion Camp every year, and this year the event will be all day March 30 at Redmond High School (RHS).

The event will include classes and workshops — all in Japanese — in cooking, tea ceremony, martial arts, taiko drumming, calligraphy, arts and crafts and more.

“The majority of the cultural teachers are volunteers,” said RHS Japanese instructor Sam Kuyper, who is also this year’s camp director.

“It’s all teacher run. It’s an allvolunteer event.”

The only exception, Kuyper said, is a small group of experts or “honorarium” instructors who actually have their own schools in their field such as the tea ceremony, martial arts and taiko drumming. He said the money

Last Friday afternoon, Villalobos shared her story with about 600 people who attended the FOY Celebration of Youth luncheon, the organization’s annual fund-raiser held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Bellevue.

The event brought in more than $168,000 — all of which will go toward FOY’s various programs as sponsors covered the cost of the luncheon.

“Every single dollar donated today will go toward Friends of Youth,” said Peggy Bunker of KOMO 4 TV, who was the emcee for the afternoon.

In addition, the luncheon included a short video with interviews from FOY staff and current and former clients, comments from President and CEO Terry Pottmeyer, as well as a few words from Maddie McGavran, an eighth-grader from North Bend who works with FOY counselors on her anxiety.

The housing programs Villalobos and her husband were part of and the counseling services Maddie utilizes are three of several programs offered

by FOY. Others include

“Nothing can stop me now.”

Maddie McGavran on her future after receiving help from Friends of Youth

foster care for youths younger than 18, emergency homeless shelters for youths younger and older than 18, parenting classes and help with substance abuse.

Friday’s luncheon addressed the misconception that the need for services provided by FOY and other organizations are not needed on the Eastside, that it’s an urban issue.

Pottmeyer said the need is there, citing that they had seen a 40 percent increase of cases at The Landing, FOY’s drop-in emergency shelter for young adults.

“These young people are from every single zip code on the Eastside,” she said.

Another recurring theme throughout the afternoon was courage: It takes a lot of courage for young people to ask for help and trust adults; it takes courage for them to change their behavior and it takes courage for adults to offer their help.

Maddie McGavran, an eighth-grader from Twin Falls Middle School in North Bend, shares her story at the Friends of Youth Celebration of Youth luncheon last Friday at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Bellevue. samantha pak, Redmond Reporter Villalobos agreed that it’s not easy for a young person to ask for help.

“They think that adults don’t understand them,” she said.

Maddie McGavran, who used to panic during math

tests to the point of not finishing them, had the same thing to say. She said she was hesitant to ask for help because she used to think working with a counselor made her a bad person — a lesser person.

Instead, she learned that it’s OK to ask for help and that it actually makes a person stronger. After working with counselors, she went from scoring 64 percent on math tests to 100 percent.

“Nothing can stop me now,” she told the crowd with a grin, sharing her plans to graduate from high school, attend a fouryear college and eventually land her dream job — whatever that may be.

right time of the year in order to fully thrive.

They’ll need to discuss location, as well.

“Not only do you want to do it right, but do it in the right place,” he said.

Last June, the City of Redmond and Sustainable Redmond reached a settlement agreement regarding those trees on the Group Health site.

The terms of agreement ended the legal action Sustainable Redmond, a grassroots organization, had taken against the city earlier in 2012 by filing a land-use petition in King County Superior Court

to block Group Health’s plans to cut down the “significant” trees.

This settlement stipulates that Group Health pay the city $20,000 “upon the first closing of a sale of all or any portion of the Group Health property,” according to the settlement document.

This money will be used to transplant onsite trees to another location or to buy new trees to plant in Overlake Village.

Michael Foley of a public relations firm that represents Group Health said they “will be honoring its agreement with the city.” Rowe-Curtis confirmed that the city received the payment on March 18.

In early 2009, Group Health teamed up with city planners and com-

munity stakeholders to develop a plan for the property, which culminated in a Master Plan and Development Agreement adopted by the city in late 2011.

In the summer of 2012, to help ensure that the property was put to the best possible use for the region, Group Health and its real estate adviser CBRE selected Capstone and Lionstone to take on the project. Capstone teams have started building a design that will allow for a late 2013 or early 2014 start of building construction for all product types.

Hubbard said Capstone plans to start site demolition of the old Group Health hospital, road grading and utility construction next month.

have to plant 3,000 trees throughout the Redmond community to replace the trees coming down. He’d like to see all 3,000 trees planted before Capstone removes one of the Group Health site trees.

No final agreement has been reached, and Hubbard said he’ll discuss the situation with city officials when the permitting process begins.

Hubbard said planting new trees requires setting down undercover and other tasks, and he also stressed that the trees need to be planted at the

Justice, Pink Martini are set for Marymoor Park Concert Series arts high school.

Her hits include “Freak the Freak Out,” “Beggin’ On Your Knees,” “Best Friend’s Brother” and the show’s theme song “Make it Shine.”

The 2011 “Victorious” soundtrack debuted at No. 5 on the Top 200 charts and No. 2 on the pop charts.

Her “Here’s 2 Us” summer tour will run June 19-Aug. 16.

According to founder and artistic director Thomas M. Lauderdale, “Pink Martini is like a romantic Hollywood musical of the 1940s or 50s, but with a global perspective which is modern. We bring melodies and rhythms

from different parts of the world together to create something which is new and beautiful.”

The Portland, Ore.-based “little orchestra” has performed its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Canada and the United States.

China Forbes is the “diva next door” lead vocalist for Pink Martini, which penned its first song “Sympathique,” or “Je ne veux pas travailler” (I don’t want to work), and it became a huge hit in France.

Its 2004 album “Hang on Little Tomato” climbed to No. 1 on Amazon.com’s bestsellers list.

...YOUNG @ HEART

New technologies to help seniors From motion sensors to light therapy, advances in modern technology are helping senior citizens live longer and safer, without worrying their family members and putting their own life at risk. Over the last few years, a wide range of technological developments has presented the elderly and their adult children new options for in-home assistance.

When an individual must leave their home and the life they know for an assisted living facility, it is usually a difficult step. Now, through new technologies, when you cannot take care of yourself, require constant reminders to take your medications, or need additional safety measures within your home, you do not have to leave. New devices are helping families ensure that loved ones are safe and healthy for a few

months or years as long as moderate or advanced dementia is not an issue.

Home Monitoring

A basic home monitoring system ranges in features and price range, but all systems are designed to detect falls and ensure safety in the event of a medical issue or accident. These lifeline systems have improved throughout the years and become more sensitive to accidents and the buttonpushing requirements.

A light tap of the button can activate a call to the emergency help operator to ensure that care is alerted.

Medication Management

The elderly are often at risk of not taking their medication due to forgetfulness or taking the wrong dosages at the improper times. Thanks to a number of companies, pill dispensing systems and monitoring devices are available

to ensure that the senior takes the right amount at the right time. Professional nursing staff sets up preprogrammed dosages and reminders. When the button on the dispenser is not pushed, a message is sent to the caregiver. However, this is not a reliable option when medication dosages change often or with a senior suffering from moderate to advanced dementia.

vating a lifeline system may require customized care.

Customized sensors may be installed using well-defined parameters. Caregivers may be alerted if the elderly individual does not get out of bed by a certain time in the morning, opens the front door or if the home gets too hot or too cold on any given day or night.

Motion Sensors

Studies have shown that daily exposure to a specific light spectrum decreases agitation, symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder and depression, as well as slows the cognitive decline for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Aegis Lodge in Kirkland features these lights, as well as dawn

Middle schoolers put on Cupcake fund-raiser for Make-A-Wish PETE TREPERINAS UW News Lab

From left, Amol Garg, Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington’s Annual Giving Manager Dayna Russell and Chirag Vedullapalli at the Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Courtesy photo

When Vijay Garg’s 13-year-old son, Amol, asked him to review an email he planned to send to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer this past January, he was in disbelief.

A senior program manager at Microsoft, Garg had the right to be concerned.

“I’ve worked for Micro-

soft for eight years and I’ve never sent him an email,” he said.

But Garg knows his son well. Amol and his friend Chirag Vedullapalli were sending Ballmer an email to ask for donations for the charity that Chirag founded — Creative Children for Charity, 3C for short.

Chirag, 12, has put on

five or six events, with Amol joining him recently.

Amol and Chirag consider themselves artists.

Both are state finalists in the national Reflections Program, where students have a chance to express themselves via art.

But rather than simply using their artistic talents to their advantage alone,

Amol and Chirag have put them to better use.

On Feb. 21 at the Beaver Lake Lodge in Sammamish, 3C put on its biggest and most successful event yet — the Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser. Tickets were $20, and each child received a cupcake, as well as a canvas to paint a cupcake on.

Going into the event, Amol and Chirag hoped to raise $750. By the time the night was over, they had $1,000.

While Amol never got an email response from Ballmer, Costco’s CEO W. Craig Jelinek met with him and Chirag. Costco and Fred Meyer also donated supplies for the Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser.

Vijay Garg admitted that he originally thought the idea of 3C seemed impossible. Once Amol and Chirag started working together, though, it became apparent how much two young people can accomplish.

Redmond High School (RHS) varsity baseball coach Dan Pudwill and the Mustang players will host a three-day youth baseball camp from 9 a.m. to noon April 9-11 at the big Hartman Baseball Field, 17300 N.E. 104th St. To print a registration form, contact jfirth@ lwsd.org or visit www. redmondmustangbaseball.com

Arena kicks from Crossfire to Dynamo Matt Phelps mphelps@bothell-reporter.com

Anthony Arena’s first love growing up was always soccer. During his 10 years playing for the Redmond Crossfire Premier Soccer Club, he had a common dream — to play professionally. Arena fulfilled that dream on Jan. 22 as he was drafted by the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer (MLS).

“I always thought I was capable of it,” Arena said. “My freshman year of college we had four or five guys leave for the MLS. But I knew I had to put in the work.”

But it is not that easy. According to the University of Georgia’s Career Information Center, only .08 percent of all U.S. high school players turn pro in soccer.

Arena, 22, knew he had some talent when he earned a scholarship to Wake Forest. But signing to play with the Dynamo was a completely different experience.

“It was always in my plans, but when I saw that contract it was a whole different set of emotions,” said Arena, a Bothell native. “It is the pinnacle of all my goals.”

Arena’s goals are now career oriented.

“I am just working on making it into a game,” said Arena, who was the 18th player selected in the MLS Supplemental Draft. “My long-term goal of course is to start a game.”

Arena knows it will be tough to crack the 18-man roster, but he has taken the challenge very seriously. He is in the process of moving to Houston.

Full field expected for sixth annual Golf Fore Red women’s tournament Another sellout is expected for this year’s Golf Fore Red tournament for women, with about half the 144 spots already reserved, according to the event chair. The 2013 tournament, scheduled for July 27 at The Golf Club at

[ cupcake from page 12] chemistry worked out really well,” he said.

All proceeds from the Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. A representative from the foundation came to the event, which relayed to them a message of how important their charitable work is.

The $1,000 from the event provided roughly half of the funding to make a terminally ill child’s vacation wish come true. That alone was enough for Amol and Chirag to plan another event, which will take place in April.

“We always thought that the whole idea of Make-AWish Foundation helping kids who are (terminally ill), and making their wishes come true, was really touching,” Chirag said.

Aside from the handful of adult volunteers and around 20 child-volunteers, the two put the fund-raiser on

Anthony Arena, dribbling past a downed opponent, formerly played for Crossfire Premiere. Courtesy photo “I like it a lot down here,” said Arena. “Summers are very hot. I am really excited.”

One of his dreams is to play the Sounders at Century Link Field.

“I think about it all the time,” said Arena.

The Dynamo will host the Sounders this season in Houston, so Arena will have time and another goal for next year when his team comes to Seattle.

The 2009 Inglemoor High graduate attributes a lot of his success to his Crossfire coach, Bernie James. He admits that his coach’s tactics were a little controversial.

“He was it for 10 years,” said Arena. “We won state eight times. He found a way to get results.

Many people didn’t like the way he went about

Redmond Ridge, combines fun, heart-health education and fund-raising.

Registration for the sixth annual event opened in mid-February, with early registrants including a mix of golfers who were on the waiting list last year, returning players and new participants. Tournament director Mary Robinson, said she expects most golfers will again be attired in red, the color that symbolizes women taking a stand against heart disease.

by themselves. That’s what they have based their charity around — kids helping kids.

“We want to actually show that kids can make a difference,” Chirag said. “It’s not just parents that can do anything. Kids are powerful, too.”

For roughly three months prior to the Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser, the two met every Sunday. Each week, they planned for a different aspect of the event.

Lessons included business planning, marketing and leadership.

“Now that we know that we’ve already done successful things, it motivates us even more, and by doing these workshops, we get to know the equation,” Amol said. “And once you know the equation, you can apply it anywhere and do it on a bigger scale.”

Chirag said that the latest event’s marketing plan is what allowed it to be as

successful as it was. Previous events 3C has put on haven’t had the same level of marketing.

“We believe that we reached out to more people because of our fliers,” he said. “We had quite a bit of volunteers, too.”

Chaitra Vedullapalli, Chirag’s mother, said that the message was spread to the school districts in the area, as well.

Chirag attends Chief Kanim Middle School in Fall City, while Amol goes to Pine Like Middle School in Issaquah. The fact that the two were in different districts — Issaquah and Snoqualmie —

Women of all golfing abilities are invited and may register for the scramble-format tournament as individuals or in groups. The $140 fee includes a continental breakfast, range balls, green fee, cart, awards luncheon, prizes and a goody bag of gifts from various donors and supporters. To register, visit www.golfforered. com.

Golf Fore Red began as a tribute to the mothers of event co-founders Shelley French allowed for more awareness of the event.

“They went to the school districts and asked them to kind of flush it down into all the schools,” Vedullapalli said. “It was a top-down approach where the district actually distributed the fliers in the schools and online.”

The parent volunteers helped give guidance to Amol and Chirag, but this was their charity.

“What we have realized is that the kids have the same mental power as adults,” Vedullapalli said. “They just need the supervision. They just needed a little direction and they came up with

things, but he got results. He is the reason I got to play in college.”

At Wake Forest, Arena played in the Final Four during his freshman year and was voted to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) All-Freshman Team. His sophomore year was completely different.

“We had a lot of growing pains,” said Arena.

“There was a lot of leadership put on young guys and we had our first losing season in 10 years.”

Despite the struggles he was still named to the Second Team All-ACC. Then, he spent most of his junior year injured.

His senior year he was healthy and he had a good season, although he says the team underachieved. But his individual play helped his stock with MLS teams.

“My coach told me my senior year that (MLS) teams were interested,” said Arena, who started 74 of 79 games he played in for the Demon Deacons.

Growing up, Arena focused his time at Crossfire and only played one season at Inglemoor High, helping to lead the team to the state semifinals during his sophomore year. His sister also played for the Vikings and graduated in 2004.

He said that he often comes back to Bothell and plays in pick-up games. After all, his parents Chris and Kristi still live in Bothell. He said his mother was extremely excited when he signed his contract.

“My mom wanted to call me every day and my dad was excited, too,” said Arena. “I have had a lot of good support.”

and Mary Robinson. Their mothers both died of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.

In just five years, the fund-raising has jumped from $2,800 in year one to last year’s total of around $20,000. Net proceeds from previous tournaments have support local education and science for women’s heart health through research and programs of the American Heart Association and the Hope Heart Institute.

the best ideas and the best organization.”

Despite donating their time and talent to the successful Canvas and Cupcake Fund-raiser, the two kids aren’t satisfied. They’ve already set a goal between $2,000 and $2,500 for their April event, which will be tailored to accommodate 100 people.

They have an even loftier target they want to reach by

the time they hit high school.

“By ninth grade, we want to set a world record for the most kids doing art at the same time,” Amol said. “Our goal is to inspire a million kids to donate time and talent through art to charity.”

Aboda marks 25 years in the housing-services business UW News Lab

Being surrounded by all things Microsoft, Redmond residents may not know that one of the country’s major housing-services companies is also headquartered here. This year, Aboda celebrates 25 years in business.

Vice President Marilyn Kempter has worked for the company for more than 10 years, five in her current position. She said that Aboda feels like home, and that it is a terrific company to work for.

Aboda is an employeeowned company, she said, which automatically adds value to how business is conducted. Employees have ownership and it is exciting for them to know that they are the ones who make a difference.

Founded in 1988, the company was originally known as Northwest Suites & Housing Services, according to an article in the Puget Sound Business Journal. It changed its name to Aboda in September 2005 and at the same time, its employees bought out the previous owner and

...obituaries

acquired an additional company in Boston.

Aboda provides a variety of corporate housing services for local and international employees. These include furniture rentals, concierge, cleaning services, property-management and destination services.

Aboda serves a particular group of people, Kempter said, most often employees who are relocating or interns transferring to new positions. Often, these new living arrangements may include a transfer of the whole family. To best accommodate their needs, Aboda representatives work closely with either the relocation specialists or directly

with their guests. That way they are able to determine their exact needs, which may include a variety of things, some major, such as desired location because of a school district, or small, but important things, such as a crib.

With Aboda, guests “have a lot of options and we ask them a lot of questions to make sure that we can customize and get them exactly what they need, so they are most comfortable” when they relocate, Kempter said.

Aboda representatives put their guests first, she added, “and our culture is one that we just don’t say no to our guests, we find out

what they need and we find a way to make it happen,” at least “we try,” Kempter added.

Aboda differentiates from its competitors for being very “nimble,” Kempter said. We are able to customize what we do and we do it very quickly, she continued.

Aboda has its own housekeeping, furniture and carpet-cleaning internal services, which guarantees not only timeliness, but also the quality of work.

Additionally, Aboda has service-minded people who strive to make a constant difference in their community, Kempter said. This is why Aboda has established the community initiative

program that serves the public in different ways. For example, every year Aboda helps with the renovation of a house, inside and out, while also donating furniture.

Vern Francis, who is the head of maintenance and a board member of the local nonprofit company Way Back Inn, has worked with Aboda for more than 12 years. Way Back Inn offers transitional housing for homeless families.

These homes are located in Renton, Kent and Tukwila.

“Aboda has been an absolutely incredibly sponsor over the years,” said Francis.

They paint the house, inside and out, they donate furniture and housewares, they do everything, from yard work and planting flowers to hanging paintings on the walls.

“They do everything that is necessary to make a house, a home,” Francis added.

In 2010, Aboda was awarded the NASS Medallion by then-Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed [ more aboda page 19 ]

and recognized for its civic engagement and community services.

“Employees are encouraged to support and volunteer for charities near to their hearts,” said Patrick Reed, who is the current operations manager for the Division of Corporations and Charities Office of the Secretary of State.

To describe with detail why Aboda was honored, Reed said: “Volunteer hours and employee donations are matched dollar for dollar by Aboda. In 2009, Aboda employees personally donated over 250 hours of their own time to which Aboda matched in financial contributions. Additionally, in 2009, Aboda employees completely rehabbed a home for families transitioning from homelessness, Aboda provided 398 suite nights to families with children fighting life-threatening illness and Aboda donated tens of thousands of dollars in furnishings, housewares and electronics to several Puget Sound organizations.”

The next round of nominations is anticipated in the summer and the award presentation would likely take place in October or November, Reed added.

Aboda will continue to follow its clients in future years, Kempter added.

The next step is to grow internationally, she said; currently the company is developing strategies to expand worldwide. Because professionals are often sent overseas for business, the company’s goal is to provide them with the same services as they receive in the United States. This is an ongoing project that will take time, but it is very exciting, she added.

Simona Trakiyska is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

Sorting through the maze of transportation alternatives for getting around King County can be an overwhelming task, yet for many people in the Redmond area, travel options are the key to independence — whether that means a ride to a doctor’s appointment, work, school, shopping, social activities or family events.

The opening of the new center also celebrates the recent collaboration between EvergreenHealth and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, which brings SCCA’s leading-edge cancer research together with EvergreeHealth’s commitment to innovation and compassionate care to provide our patients with nationally recognized cancer care.

We hope you will join us for this dedication event to celebrate where hope lives at the Halvorson Cancer Center. Enjoy light refreshments, guided tours and the opportunity to connect with neighbors and friends from EvergreenHealth and SCCA.
