Growing up was not easy for Kirsten McArdle. With red hair and big glasses, she was the target of
a fair amount of teasing. “I was very shy when I was a kid,” she said. “I didn’t feel I was as good as the other kids.” McArdle, now principal at Norman Rockwell
Elementary School in Redmond, shared her stories of being bullied with her students during an assembly Wednesday morning as part of Unity Day — a nationwide anti-bullying
initiative. With October designated as National Bullying Prevention Month, Rockwell is just one of many schools throughout the district and [ more BULLYING page 8 ]
For the third year in a row, many families from Albert Einstein Elementary School in Redmond got out of their cars for a morning to participate in national Walk to School Day on Wednesday. Students, parents and siblings arriving on campus were greeted by PTSA members handing out bracelets to participants and as they made their way closer to the building, City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione was on hand to welcome them to school. “Walking or biking to school creates an opportunity to be outdoors and provides time for children to connect with parents, friends and neighbors,” Marchione said. “What better way is there to get to know your neighbors than by walking kids to school?” The event was organized by the Einstein PTSA with [ more WALK page 8 ]
Redmond author highlights Northwest Olympic gold medalists After Judy Willman began reading one of Daniel James Brown’s books to her father, Joseph Rantz expressed his desire to meet the narrative non-fiction author. Rantz was living with
his daughter just west of the Redmond Watershed Preserve — the same area where Brown lives — and was able to meet the writer before he (Rantz) died in September 2007. After the two men met and got to talking, Brown soon learned that the older man was a member of the 1936
University of Washington crew team that went on to compete and win the gold medal at that year’s Olympic Games in Berlin. Those conversations eventually turned into “The Boys in the Boat,” Brown’s latest book, which tells Rantz’s story of growing up during the Great Depression and
how he along with eight other young men from western Washington came together to win a gold medal at the Olympics in front of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany despite a number of challenges they faced leading up to the race as well as the race itself. “It was just a tremendous
race,” Brown said. While Olympians of the current age achieve great celebrity, Willman said it wasn’t until her later years in grade school in the 1950s that it dawned on her what her father and his teammates had achieved. “They didn’t make a big deal. They were very
humble,” she said. “All these guys were very low-key about being gold medalists.” Willman added that they were very proud of their amateur status. Each of the nine men had struggled to stay afloat while at school during the Great Depression, but she said they [ more CREW page 9 ]

AEG Live presents successful Marymoor Park Concert Series Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and Stephen Marley got things rolling in mid-June and The Lumineers finished up with a pair of packed shows at the end of September. According to Brian McFadin, general manager of AEG Live Pacific Northwest, his company’s 13-date Marymoor Park Concert Series was successful, featuring 50,000 total concertgoers in its first year of operations at the park. AEG Live also promotes shows at Showbox at the Market and Showbox SoDo in Seattle and signed a five-year contract with King County prior to this year’s Marymoor series. “We were very satisfied with our series this year and have a great partnership with King County. We’re looking forward to at least four more years with them. We were happy to get 13 shows in and are hoping for more next year,” said McFadin, who didn’t have a gross dollar amount for ticket sales available. Marymoor’s 5,000-seat outdoor venue was home to three sellouts: Steely Dan on
Aug. 15 and The Lumineers on Sept. 20-21. Daryl Hall and John Oates’ Aug. 13 show was a near sellout. Visitors on the Marymoor Park Concerts Facebook page said they were pleased with the shows this season. In the past, promoters and King County Parks dealt with some complaints from nearby residents who felt the sound was too loud, McFadin said. This season, he said AEG Live is aware of at least one complaint forwarded to King County Parks regarding the sound. “The decibel limit is 95db. AEG and King County Parks both take periodic measurements to ensure we remain within this limit,” McFadin said. He added that Carlson Audio Systems supplied a new sound system for Marymoor’s concerts this year that featured cardioid subwoofers “that help alleviate the bass blowback to the homes behind the stage, up on the hillside behind the park.” On the traffic front, Redmond Police Department (RPD) Traffic Lt. Doug Krueger said their officers teamed up with King County staffers to get cars into the concerts at a steady flow at the main west entrance, on West Lake Sammamish
Parkway Northeast, during the six bigger concerts they worked. (King County Park staffers directed people into the park during the other shows and out of the park for all the events.) “Some of the concerts were on weekdays, which present potential traffic issues with the evening commute overlap with concert traffic arriving at the park,” Krueger said. “Traffic issues for the most part were averted with the supplemental help.” During heavy traffic, Krueger said officers “bumped” arriving cars into the park from the south by holding northbound cars for a cycle against their green light. The officers balanced that scenario to be fair to non-concertgoers, as well, he said. Departing concertgoers in the 10 p.m. range faced some long waits — and some people voiced their displeasure on the Marymoor Park Concerts Facebook page — but King County media relations coordinator Doug Williams said that’s going to occur anytime a large number of people attend a concert or sporting event. There’s only so many ways people can exit the park, he added.
Williams noted that the City of Redmond altered the timing of the light cycle on West Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast near State Route 520 to help with traffic flow. Instead of exiting on the west side’s main entrance and taking a right onto West Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast to SR 520, Williams said people could opt to travel through the park and exit on the east side, making a left onto East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast toward SR 520. Williams said there was signage at the exits of parking lots reminding people that they could have used either the west or east side exits. McFadin added that AEG Live and King County Parks staff members will meet before next season to discuss traffic issues and how to refine the exiting process.

LWSD launches new Signature Programs The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) has launched its new Signature Programs this year, which are designed to make the connection with what students are learning in high school and what they will do after they graduate. These thematic, interdisciplinary three-period instructional blocks combine rigorous academics and “real world” application of learning in areas like global health and sustainability. These courses engage students in problem-based learning and industry-based projects. Community partnerships connect students to the real world. Students also will earn academic credit in specified areas required for graduation. The programs that launched this fall are organized around career clusters and pathways in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Later Signature Programs will
address other career clusters. Signature Programs began this fall at Redmond High School, Juanita High School, Emerson High School and the STEM School. Programs will launch in 2014-15 at Eastlake High School, International Community School and Lake Washington High School. Redmond’s program, which focuses on global health, is a three-course block that covers English, social studies and science. Units in this course will cover global nutrition, water supply, infant and maternal health and health care in conflict and disaster zones. The class will address the causes of and propose solutions for these global health issues. Redmond’s program is working closely with the University of Washington Public Health and Global Health departments, Swedish Hospital and Fred Hutchinson’s HIV Vaccine
Schools news
Trials Network. The STEM School will offer two signature programs, in environmental engineering and sustainable design and in forensics/psychology. Emerson’s Signature Program focuses on sustainability. The Lake Washington Schools Foundation, Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Waste Management Inc. have provided funding for the new program. Juanita High School’s Global Health Signature Program will provide credit toward graduation in English, anatomy and physiology and biotechnology. The teachers of these three subjects are working together to create opportunities for deeper learning. For example, during a unit on influenza, students will read “The Great Influenza,” by John M. Barry, for English. They will get a historical perspective and learn about some of the early scientific research on the disease. [ more schools page 5 ]

It’s time to get serious about bullying On Sept. 12, another young child committed suicide after being bullied. She was a 12-year-old girl who had a falling out with her friends over a boy a year ago. The bullying was so difficult she changed schools, but the cyberbullying continued to torment her until she took her life. In August, a Connecticut boy shot himself with the family gun after the first day of his sophomore year. He had been bullied because of his small size. And just last spring, a young girl in our area killed herself after being bullied in person and online. Bullying is not simply “kids being kids.” Psychiatric Times cites bullying as a major public health problem with devastating consequences. Today, when drama happens at school, it passes seamlessly from the lunchroom to the chat room, and before long it seems everyone in a social circle knows about it. Kids can’t leave bullying behind at the playground anymore because it follows them home in social media, texting and/or phone apps. According to the most recent Healthy Youth Survey given to sixth-, eighth-, 10th- and 12thgrade students, 24 percent of local students reported being bullied in the past 30 days. That’s a lot of kids being hurt and a lot of kids doing the bullying. Bullying tends to peak in middle school years, but can happen anytime, and it’s slightly more common among girls.

Victims of bullying are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, today and as adults. Kids who are struggling with bullying may have changes in sleep and eating patterns, and a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. Bullied
kids also have more health complaints and lower academic achievement. Researchers estimate that on any given day, 160,000 children miss school because they’re afraid of being bullied. Those who are bullied also may retaliate, sometimes through violence. In fact, a study of school shootings in the 1990s found that 80 percent of the shooters had a history of being bullied. But it’s not just the victims of bullying who are being hurt. Studies published earlier this year in JAMA Psychiatry found that those who bully were more likely to abuse substances as a teen or adult, have anti-social behavior and be involved in criminal activity as an adult. Even bystanders can suffer with increased mental health problems.
TALK WITH YOUR KIDS
Schools are trying to respond to bullying with education and awareness programs. But it’s hard to manage when so much bullying is via electronic communications and away from school. Parents can monitor social media and phone
use, but it’s most important to be responsive to your child; encourage your son or daughter to tell you when another child is being hurtful, either physically or emotionally. Let your child know that you are there to help. Dismissive statements like “It’s no big deal,” will discourage your child from talking to you, since bullying is a very big deal to a child. And kids who don’t have support at home for problems like bullying are at increased risk for suicide. It is just as important to talk to your kids about not bullying others, and the devastation it can cause. Don’t tolerate name calling or your child putting down another child. And let your child know that being a bully has negative longterm consequences. Finally, help your child know what to do if he or she witnesses bullying or hear someone talk about suicide. Make sure that your child can name an adult that could be approached for help.

Make the most of Microsoft’s giving month The amount of people suffering from hunger is equal to the combined populations of the United States, Canada and the European Union. It’s a startling fact and can appear daunting to some to even attempt to make a dent in reducing global poverty. However, there are some great programs and groups doing something about it. This month is Microsoft’s giving month in which they match donations $25 and up made by its employees. Programs like these must be taken full advantage of while around. The $25 from individuals becomes $50 for organizations making a difference around the world. Nonprofits such as The Borgen Project, a group that advocates to Congress to make foreign aid a top priority of U.S. foreign policy,
are better able to expand their programs and impact as a result of these campaigns. I urge all Microsoft employees to make the most of this generous giving month put on by Microsoft.

Weighing in on the 2014 bond issue Dear Redmond City Council members, You recently met with our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Pierce. She promised to get back to you on some unanswered questions about state funding assistance to defray construction costs, and replacing portables with permanent housing for kids and teachers. I assume that she will explain that the 2014 bond resolution stipulates that no state support is expected and that there is no mention of new construction to replace portables.
She may or not explain why no state support is expected. The state would normally pay for about 25 percent of the construction cost to house new students or modernize existing buildings. However, based on the size of our schools, the state assumes we can house more students than the district needs. Therefore, while we still qualify for state assistance in modernization, we don’t qualify for that assistance for new construction. This problem has been exacerbated by the district policy of replacing schools, rather than modernizing them. These new buildings are built larger than allowed by state standards. For example, Lake Washington High School (LWHS) was recently rebuilt more than 19,000 square feet larger than state standards. That’s enough area to house almost 150 high school students. The state assumes that it now houses those students. Modernization
would not have affected the original lower housing capacity. We spent around $65 million more local money to rebuild LWHS than would have been required to modernize it to the highest level of state standards. That’s enough money to build six new elementary schools or three junior high schools to those standards. And likewise in varying degrees for all the other schools rebuilt instead of being modernized. We’ve spent more than $600 million the last 14 years to tear down and replace more than half of our substantially sound school buildings instead of modernizing them. Almost half our schools are still not modernized. They could all be modernized at this time with 25 percent of the costs borne by the state. We’re being asked for another $755 million, a major portion of which is earmarked to replace just [ more LETTERS page 6]

Why it is important to honor Mexican Independence Day It is important to celebrate Mexican Independence Day, Sept. 16, because it brings to light the power of the struggle of people to hold on to what is theirs. We think that May 5 is the day to honor Mexican heritage, but that is not. As a Latina and a teen, I want people to realize the struggle for independence and honor the true date. To give you a little history and put context to the independence, I share this brief synopsis. Hernán Cortés from Spain was an intelligent man; using his disgruntled native allies, superior weaponry and surprise, he conquered the Aztecs in 1521. From then on the Aztecs and surrounding native tribes were under the rule of Spain. Following the fall of the Aztec empire was a 300-year period of labor, oppression and struggle for the natives. The Aztecs were easily subdued by the power of the Spanish and only a few small uprisings occurred. More than likely they did not anticipate their indigenous subjugates

They will learn about the immune system and lymphatic system for anatomy and physiology. Biotechnology will cover ELISA testing as a technique for diagnosing patient exposure to different strains of influenza. Students will learn how recombinant DNA technology and protein purification are used to protect against novel strains of the disease. In addition, a partnership with EvergreenHealth will give students an opportunity to work closely with health care professionals to job shadow providers across the organization and receive professional advice and insight into the health care industry. The students have already collaborated with EvergreenHealth to create an original logo for the partnership, which is featured on lab coats donated by the health system for each of the student participants. “It is very exciting to see our vision for STEM Signature Programs come to
would one day forcefully reclaim their land as their own once again. On Sept. 16, 1821, the Spanish saw this come to fruition. Mexico had been the underdog for as long as the Spanish reigned. They made up the labor force; they changed their way of living under duress. Mexico wasn’t seen as a force to be reckoned with, at least not without Spain’s backing. Spain had a formidable army, money to spend, impressive weaponry and all the perks that come with being a colonial superpower. The significance in celebrating Mexico’s independence goes beyond merely recognizing Spain no longer ruled over Mexico and its natives. What’s truly significant about Mexico’s independence is how they achieved their independence. In the US’s war against Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh said, “You can kill 10 of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win.” The sentiment shown here is that although 10 of Ho Chi Minh’s men will die for one American soldier, they will continue to fight tirelessly. Bone-deep loyalty to their people and an invested interest is what enabled the Mexican people to fight for and declare their own fruition,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “We are extremely grateful for the partnership with Evergreen and the opportunities afforded to our students.” EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte added, “Partnerships like these are so important to the future of the health care field. We’re committed to increasing access to STEM education resources for schools across our community and we look forward to launching this effort with these talented and bright Juanita students.” EvergreenHealth staff members welcomed students and launched the partnership at a meeting at the hospital on Sept. 18. Students learned more about opportunities to access EvergreenHealth’s people and resources for course projects as well as exposure to careers and postsecondary areas of study. In the influenza unit, students will learn about EvergreenHealth’s public health efforts in their fluvaccination program.
sovereignty. Spain’s interest only went as far as gold, glory and God. The people of Mexico’s interest went much deeper than that. When the Spanish came to the New World not only was the land of the Mexicans invaded, every aspect of their lives were invaded in some way by the Spanish. Their form of dress, their beliefs and their
everyday activities were changed. In the wake of Spain’s conquest of the Aztec, nothing of their former lives were left untouched. In reality, Spain didn’t have much to lose if Mexico gained its independence; Mexico’s natives on the other hand had everything to gain. Mexico’s independence is a prime example to this day
of what a group of people can do when their incentive is personal and their fight is empowered through a love of culture and life. The Mexican people gained their independence by pulling themselves up from their bootstraps, fighting with a personal purpose and more than anything a die-hard love for their people. As a teen, I find it especially
important to celebrate Mexico’s independence because although Mexico was an underdog, which went up against a world power, it won. This inspires me to stay passionate about my fights and ambitions and empowers me to face struggles without fear.

It’s time to end the government shutdown President Obama made the right decision last week to invite Republican and Democratic congressional leaders to the White House to try and bring an end to the shutdown of many government services. This mess never should have happened in the first place. Blame some House Republicans for using the shutdown tactic in order to delay — or, what they really want, to kill — the Affordable Health Care Act. Their actions are a disservice

recent decades both here and abroad, and the positive impacts they have had on consumers worldwide. I believe everyone deserves access to good nutrition regardless of income bracket, and I value a transparent system to ensure this need is met. That is why I am voting “no” on I-522. I’ve read the seven-page initiative and understand the implications if this were to be made law in our state. The scientific community widely agrees that genetically engineered crops pose no greater threat to public health than their non-genetically engineered counterparts. (It may be worth noting that BPA, bisphenol A, has been shown to increase the risk of obesity, certain neurological disorders, and some cancers, yet is widely used in canned goods at many retailers supporting the “Yes on I-522” campaign.) The added costs associated with labeling genetically engineered crops hurts small farmers, and the costs will undoubtedly get passed on at the checkout counter. I-522 won’t make food safer for Washingtonians, it will just make grocery shopping harder for folks who already can’t afford to buy organic.

Grace Taylor will be the first person to tell you how she has never wanted anything to do with pageants. So when she was first approached this summer about participating in the Miss Washington Teen USA 2014 competition, her response was immediate and firm. “All I’d ever seen was ‘Toddlers and Tiaras’ and (thought), ‘No way, man!’” she said, referring to the TLC reality TV show focused on young children and their families on the pageant circuit. But after learning more about the competition and attending an informational meeting, which included a video featuring past contestants, Taylor saw the pageant as a way to boost her confidence as it had done for the girls in the video. “I saw that it wasn’t about beauty,” she said. “It was about bettering yourself.” This was in July and since then, the 15-year-old Redmond High School sophomore has been preparing for the upcoming Miss Washington Teen USA 2014 pageant, which will be Oct. 18-19 at the Highline Performing Arts Center at 401 South 152nd St. in Burien. Tickets are still available online at brown papertickets.com and range from $35-$100. Miss Washington USA 2013 Cassandra Searles of Redmond will be co-hosting the event. Maureen Francisco, coexecutive producer for Miss Washington USA 2014 and Miss Washington Teen USA 2014, said the pageants are part of the Miss Universe Organization, which has been around for 62 years. The Miss Teen USA pageants began in 1983. Contestants in the teen competition range from 14-18 years old while the contestants in the Miss USA competition range from 18-26.
INTERVIEWING FOR THE WORLD
In the teen competitions, contestants are judged in three areas: evening gown, interviewing skills and swimsuit. Viewers will also be able to vote online on whoever they would want to see advance to the semifinals, Francisco said. This voting will take place in the next week, leading up to the pageant. Francisco had participated in one pageant when she was
Redmond High School’s Grace Taylor will participate in the upcoming Miss Washington Teen USA 2014 competition at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien. samantha pak, Redmond Reporter 17, saying she wanted to do something outside of her comfort zone and many of the contestants in the pageant are in similar situations: They may be shy but want to be more well-spoken and work on being interviewed on the spot. Taylor fits this description well. One of the things she has wanted to work on is being able to talk to people and share her voice and her interests. So to prepare for the contest — aside from “being really nervous” — she has been focusing on the interview portion. Francisco said a number of former Miss Teen USA winners have gone on to be very successful such as Vanessa Lachey (formerly Minnillo), who won in 1998 and went on to become a television personality and host, fashion model and actress. “This pageant has opened many doors for these young women,” Francisco said. “You’re basically interviewing for the world.”
CHANGING PAGEANT PERCEPTIONS
Contestants can list what types of questions they would like to be asked, so Taylor put down questions that focused on her community service. This includes volunteering every week with AOK (Acts of Kindness) Friends — an organization that works to feed, clothe and provide other necessities for the homeless population in Seattle. Taylor also volunteers at a Purrfect Pals cat shelter based in Petco in Kirkland.
Taylor’s mother Jacquelyn Taylor had similar initial impressions about pageants as her daughter, so she wasn’t too keen on having Grace participate. However, once she learned more, Jacquelyn saw that it would give her daughter an opportunity to express herself and get the points she wants across to others. Both mother and daughter said preparing for the upcoming pageant has also helped boost Grace’s confidence. “Grace had to overcome some challenges in the past few years,” Jacquelyn said. When Grace was 13, her parents went through an “ugly divorce.” She said it was a hard time as they lost their house and they really had to adjust to the situation. In addition, a cousin she was close to had died around the same time, as well. “It was just kind of a dark time,” Grace said. As she has been preparing for Miss Washington Teen USA 2014, Grace admitted that she has been made fun of and has received a few digs from her peers. If this had happened a couple years ago, she said she would have been discouraged. But after overcoming the challenges she has, Grace has become more confident in the path she has chosen and learned not to let the negative comments affect her, adding that part of her participating in the pageant is her wanting to change people’s perceptions of these types of competitions. “The way people look at pageants, I want to change that and I feel I can do that,” she said, “at least locally.”

country working to spread awareness on the subject. Fifth grader Giuliana Ernst said it is important to get this message out to all kids because bullying is just not nice and “not cool.” At Wednesday’s assembly, McArdle encouraged students to report any bullying they may witness to an adult, but she also emphasized to the third, fourth and fifth graders in attendance the power one kid could have in stopping bullying. She shared how an old classmate named Rodney Thompson saw her being bullied on the bus — where the only adult around was driving and not able to do anything — and stood up for her and told the other kids to stop. The two weren’t very good friends in particular. They just went to school together and lived down the street from each other. But McArdle still remembers his actions to this day and how he came to her defense. “He knew it wasn’t right and he did something to stop it,” McArdle told the students. “You can be Rodney Thomp-

Alissa MacDonald and Ingrid Munck in charge. MacDonald said Walk to School Day is always in October, and this year, to encourage more students to participate, they added a classroom contest with the class with the most walkers receiving a treat. Marchione said walking to school also gives kids time for physical activity. And many of the kids arriving at school Wednesday morning shared their enthusiasm for the opportunity. “We love to exercise!” one student exclaimed as she walked by the mayor on her way to class. Renee Bibeault, who walked to school with her 9-year-old son Avery, said Walk to School Day is a great way to raise awareness on the importance of physical activity. She said they can’t always walk to school because her work schedule cuts it too close,

cause the school’s boundaries range from one mile on some sides to two or three miles on other sides. In addition, some of the routes to school are along
more rural roads with no sidewalks, so walking is not always safe. To address this issue, some families drove to the PCC Natural Markets lo-
inviting them to eat lunch at their table could grow into a great friendship. Fifth grader Cody Becker agreed, saying they were all a team and they need to work together and be friends. Mike Dowd, crime prevention officer for the Redmond Police Department (RPD) also spoke at the assembly. “Bullying is a big deal with the police,” he told the students. Dowd discussed how kids who are bullied throughout their lives have a tendency to act out because they are not treated right and how those who bully others continue to do so throughout their lives if they are not asked to stop.
The main focus of Dowd’s presentation was respect and how important it is for people to treat others and themselves with respect. He suggested the students think of the golden rule and treat others as they would want to be treated — and how they would want their families treated. As part of Rockwell’s antibullying efforts, McArdle also posted a Unity Day banner out on the playground during recess and encouraged the students to write suggestions on how they could stop bullying. “You do have the power to stop it,” she told the students. “One kid can make a difference.”
cated a little less than a half mile east of the school and walked from there. In addition to promoting physical activity, Pointer said Walk to School Day also promotes ways to protect the environment. She said with more people walking to school, there are fewer cars on the road, adding that walking to school also allows people to be more conscious of how their daily routines may affect the environment around them. Einstein has a very active green team of students who create programs and activities throughout the school to protect the environment such as composting food waste, Pointer said. She added that part of the campus is a wildlife refuge and teachers use an onsite outdoor habitat as teaching space. A garden has also been started at Einstein and students are learning how to grow and produce their own food.
Pointer said Walk to School Day fits in nicely with all of their green efforts and teachers incorporated an educational component by discussing the environmental impacts of cars during class time on Wednesday. Also on hand at Einstein Wednesday morning was the Redmond Police Department (RPD). Police vehicles were parked on both sides of the school’s entrance along Northeast 116th Street with lights flashing. Alex Chavykin of the department’s traffic division said the police presence was to remind drivers of the school zone and make sure the walkers are safe. “We’re present in here,” he said. “We care about their safety.” Pointer said the RPD will also be coming into the classrooms throughout the year to talk to students about various topics including walking safety.

[ crew from page 1]
refused to have their picture taken for the Wheaties cereal box as U.S. Olympic champions typically do — along with the money they would have received from it. While the team was modest and humble about their achievements, Willman said the group remained close throughout the years. She remembers growing up going on picnics as a family and spending time with her father’s teammates’ families. Willman said Rantz and the rest of the crew team got together, just the nine of them, a couple of times a year, as well. Brown said once the team qualified for the Olympics, they also had to figure out a way to pay for the trip. He said they called people back home in Seat-
tle to explain the situation. Almost immediately, Seattlelites took to the streets, standing on the corner with cups in their hands, asking for money and going door to door doing the same thing. Bigger Seattle companies also pitched in on the effort and within 48 hours, Brown said they had raised $5,000. “It was really the people of Seattle that sent (the team) to Berlin,” he said. For Willman, learning her father was an Olympic gold medalist did nothing to change how she saw him. There were so many admirable things about Rantz, she said. Once his rowing days were done, Rantz became a chemical engineer for Boeing. But Willman said her father loved to teach — from powder puff mechanics in which girls learned
how to take care of their cars to making applesauce, it didn’t matter what the subject was. “He was someone who was hard not to idolize, irrespective of a gold medal,” she said. Although she is one of five children, Willman said neither she nor her four siblings had the desire to start rowing in their father’s footsteps. “Our passions were elsewhere,” said Willman, whose personal passion is horses. However, the rowing gene seems to skip generations because Willman said her daughter took up rowing after her son (Willman’s grandson) began doing so “under protest.” “She loved it,” Willman said about her daughter’s recently discovered passion for rowing.

Sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning, someone broke into McDonald’s Book Exchange in downtown Redmond and stole all the cash the store had on hand at the time. Owner Anne St. Germain said the store had had a “decent day” on Monday and nearly $400 was taken but nothing else. She said she had to wonder if the individual knew the store’s sales from the day before because cash is stored in two different places — one obvious location and one not so obvious — and money was taken from both locations. St. Germain added that the individual who broke in did not use the store’s two main entrances. “They chose to break in the emergency doors,” she said. Officer Michael Dowd of the Redmond Police
Department (RPD) said the individual, or individuals, pried the store’s rear door and went straight for the cash. He said there were a few break-ins at downtown businesses throughout the summer, but Tuesday’s incident does not appear to be related. In previous cases, Dowd said, the people went for the businesses’ safes. “This was just convenient cash that happened to be on hand,” he said about Tuesday’s incident. “It does look pretty random.” St. Germain did not open the store Tuesday morning and said it was an employee who arrived about 15 minutes before opening and let her know about the break-in. McDonald’s is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Dodging the rain, a 12-inch doll named Umaya takes shelter under a mushroom along with a yellow butterfly; she wears a floral-patterned outfit and a hat made out of seedpod coated with layers of structural glue. This is work from the hands of 66-year-old Diane Magnuson, a competitive doll maker from Redmond. This year, the judges of Hoffman Fabrics selected her work, Umaya’s Umbrella as the only Redmond entry to travel nationwide in several exhibits. Founded in 1988, the international Hoffman Challenge honors top quilts, clothing and doll creations. In addition to the previous two years, this is the third time Hoffman Fabrics has honored Magnuson’s creations. “I am finding that doing more and more of these kinds of competitions really allow me to become more creative than I thought I was,” said Magnuson. Magnuson worked in the travel industry for 30 years before she became a full-
Diane Magnuson’s winning doll, Umaya. Courtesy photo time doll maker. Although she dreams of traveling to Ireland in the near Diane Magnuson future, she wants to take advantage of her retirement to invest in her craft. Magnuson’s 2013 winning doll Umaya is a wood nymph with her clothing tucked and sewed around her body. Umaya’s figure is made out of dense fiberfill that gives her volume and
posture. The entire project took Magnuson around three months to complete. “Sometimes the fabric just tells me what it is I am going to do, but sometimes it doesn’t,” said Magnuson. “If I am really stuck, what I’ll do is to start by making the doll’s head.” Fortunately, the doll’s composition wasn’t an obstacle this year. Magnuson’s growing desire to incorporate a mushroom into her design made the process less troublesome. Her biggest hurdle, however, was to figure out how to engineer a mushroom that would withstand the hardship of traveling. “(A structurally sound doll) has to be wrapped and unwrapped, and put into box and shipped for so many times without being damaged,” said Magnuson. For materials, instead of shopping in the craft stores, she often finds her supplies in The Home Depot. Magnuson “wanders the aisles looking for materials that serve a purpose other than what they are intended.” The stores’ staffs cannot help her because she doesn’t know what she’s looking for until she
sees what she wants. At times, Magnuson’s ideas just blossom without much planning. Magnuson chose to construct the 17-inch mushroom with a base made from a railing spindle and a top composed of a lid of a metal candy tin. She later secured her doll to the base of the mushroom through monofilament thread and glue. Umaya’s feet are covered in leather boots and her waist is cinched in ribbons, feathers and bangles. Although the doll did not place, Umaya’s Umbrella won the honor to tour in a traveling trunk show along with other winning entries. The curator of Hoffman Challenge told Magnuson “it’s already an exceptional honor for your doll to travel.” In addition to preparing for the 2014 Hoffman Challenge, Magnuson is selling her other fiber creations such as fish and birds at Collage at Carillon Point in Kirkland. “I am very outgoing, very creative — I am also a little whimsical,” said Magnuson. “I think to be creative you have to be a little whimsical.”

sential services will continue, including Social Security and Medicare payments, other governmental functions will be disrupted, and hundreds of thousands of workers will be furloughed. So, as a citizen, you may well have concerns about the shutdown. But how will the shutdown affect you as an investor? First of all, you may want to take to heart the slogan popularized by the British in World War II: “Keep calm and carry on.” You don’t need to panic, nor do you need to make massive changes to your investment portfolio or even take a “time out” from investing. It’s highly likely that, like all political/economic traumas in the past, this one, too, shall pass. To gain some perspective, you might be interested in knowing that the current situation is not unique. We’ve had 17 government shutdowns in the past, most recently in 1995-96. And the overall effect of these shutdowns on the financial markets has not been particularly negative. Stocks dropped during nine of these shutdowns and rose during the other eight. Once the shutdowns ended, the average stock market gain was 2.5 percent over the following three months and 13.3 percent over the following 12 months, according to

an analysis of the S & P 500 stock market index. Of course, as you’ve no doubt heard, “past performance cannot guarantee future results,” so you shouldn’t necessarily expect the market to turn in similar results once this current shutdown is over. Nonetheless, the history of the market’s performance following government shutdowns does tell us something about the tremendous ability of the financial markets to absorb short-term crises — and then move on. This isn’t to say that you won’t see some volatility in the days and weeks ahead if the shutdown continues for a while. The financial markets do not like uncertainty, and while some of this uncertainty may already have been “factored in” during the past few weeks, as the possibility of a shutdown increased, we may still see some significant price gyrations. Try not to overreact to these price swings, if they do occur. If you feel you must do something with regard to your investments, why not take this opportunity to look over your long-term strategy to make sure it’s still properly aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon? Over time, your personal situation can change in many ways, so it’s always a good idea to review your investment portfolio, and to make those changes that can help you continue making progress toward your objectives, such as a comfortable retirement. Furthermore, if we do see some price declines, you may well be presented with the opportunity to buy quality investments at good prices, so stay alert for these possibilities. Above all else, don’t let the headlines of today scare you away from investing for tomorrow. With patience, discipline and the ability to maintain a long-term perspective in spite of shortterm events, you can develop good investment habits that will serve you well for a lifetime.

Film scholar Lance Rhoades will explore the role cinema has played in generating perceptions of the American Indian and the lingering implications from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday as part of the Redmond Historical Society Saturday Speaker Series at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 N.E. 80th St. Almost a quarter of all films made from 1900 to 1950 were Westerns, which frequently represented American Indians as violent
obstacles to progress. According to Rhoades, “We can use films to help us gauge if and how perceptions have changed over time. We can perhaps learn where stereotypes emerge and ask what purpose they serve in the stories movies tell. We can also better understand the motivations behind the efforts of American Indians to begin telling different stories through film.” Using film clips and conversation, Rhoades says his talk raises questions about identity, stereotypes and
cinema that have no easy answers. The program is free to the public with a suggested $5 donation for non-members of the historical society. Additional details can be found at www.redmondhistorical society.org. The Redmond Historical Society is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives support from the City of Redmond, 4 Culture, Nintendo, the Bellevue Collection and Humanities Washington as well as from other donors and members.

“In memory of Jackson Roos, a friend to everyone. He is remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and courage in life and on the field. He exuded great sportsmanship and a love for baseball. He made it count!” Jackson, 12, was a Redmond North Little Leaguer who died from injuries sustained in an accident at his home on Sept. 26, 2012. He is survived by his parents, Dr. Bryan and Julie Roos; his brother, Sam; and twin sisters Sally and Jane. Construction is expected to begin later this
month and finish by spring 2014. The league will install a turf infield for the baseball diamond and a multi-sport turf surface for the large field. Redmond Ridge Park is the official home field for Redmond North Little League. Because there is only one baseball diamond, and it is often unplayable in wet weather, the league must rely on facilities outside the neighborhood to host games and practices. This project will allow Redmond North Little League families to use their neighborhood park all year round.

Cummings finds motivation from her little brother battling cancer

PRESCHOOL
At first glance and after conversing with her for a few minutes, Micah Cummings perfectly fits the role of a high school sophomore. The 15-year-old girl’s long pony tail swings from side to side as she walks, she speaks softly and giggles a bit while discussing the trio of sports she passionately participates in: volleyball, wrestling and judo. However, when the Redmond High School student delves into her personal life, she suddenly has grown well beyond her 15 years on this Earth. While gently stroking that pony tail as if it were a safety net, Cummings calmly tells of her 13-year-old brother, Kenny, who was diagnosed with signet ring cell carcinoma in his colon over the summer. The rare form of cancer is usually found in older people. Young Kenny has had chemotherapy and radiation and is bravely fighting the cancer, Micah said. “He’s doing OK. He’s hanging in there — he’s in pain a lot,” she added. “It’s completely changed my life,” she continued. “Before, me and him were both national judo competitors. And then, all of a sudden to see him change from a really active person to a person who’s lying in bed all day … it completely changed.” Micah said that Kenny told their mother, Tomoko — when she was praying and searching for answers — that “God chose me to have this cancer because I can beat it.” Micah says her brother’s words have motivated her to work hard and excel in life — in the classroom and
on the volleyball court — because she feels that Kenny is rooting for her. “She is one of the toughest kids I have ever coached. She is a quiet leader on this team. Micah has just worked so hard and improves every day in practice and in every match,” said varsity volleyball coach Ross Johnson, adding that Cummings — a 5-foot-7 setter — has compiled an impressive 216 assists at the halfway point of the season and averages 5.3 assists per set. “This team is small with only nine players, the kids are a very close-knit group and they all just love ‘Mikey.’” Cummings has followed in the footsteps of her mother and stepdad, Tsutomu, who both played high-school volleyball in Japan. She picked up the sport in sixth grade and has been on several elite club teams over the years in addition to her freshman and sophomore years with the Mustangs. She hated volleyball at first. “At first, I was kind of like, ‘Oh this is such a girlie sport. It’s just throwing around a ball,’” she said with a laugh. As she became more familiar with volleyball, she grew to love keeping the ball alive during rallies, becoming mentally tough during intense games, leading the team like a football quarterback at setter and experiencing the familial-like bonds with her teammates and coaches. “Also, volleyball gets my mind off a whole bunch of things. After a long day, it’s nice to play volleyball and just have fun,” she said. It’s not an easy sport to play, either, Cummings added. “My ankles are terrible because of it — but it’s all worth it.” [ more MICAH page 15 ]

Mullen encouraged her to give it a try after learning about her judo background. “I actually won my first wrestling match here … against a boy — yeah,” she said with a giggle. “I took the guy down and then I pinned him and then everybody on the sideline stood up and they were all cheering for me.” She admits to being a little scared at first when looking across the mat at her male competitor, but the nervousness soon disappeared when the match began. She even called upon a judo move or two to pull the boy onto the mat and finish him off. Cummings was surprised and elated at the same time when notching that victory. Kenny was surely proud of his big sister’s wrestling prowess that day.

Links recruiting volunteers
The Lake Washington School District LINKS Program is now recruiting community volunteers who are interested in helping students be successful in school. Last school year, 294 volunteers shared their time in classrooms. They worked with kids on math or reading; they tutored middle school students; or were a lunch
buddy to a child who needed a positive role model. Volunteering through LINKS takes one hour each week. Sharing time in a school is something co-workers can do together during their lunch time. It’s an opportunity for retirees to engage in their community by giving back. What do past volunteers say about the LINKS Program? One volunteer said, “One-on-one mentoring via the lunch buddy program creates a wonderful positive environment and an opportunity to inspire a student.” Another noted, “I can see how my time with selected students has added to the learning they do with the teacher in the classroom.” All new volunteers are required to attend a volunteer orientation, complete a volunteer application and be approved prior to beginning service in a school. Orientation dates are listed on LINKS page on the Lake Washington School district website (www.lwsd. org). To register for an upcoming orientation, email Nanci Wehr at nwehr@lwsd.org or call (425) 936-1410.

VALA to present Artist in Residence Program
VALA (Venues for Artists in the Local Area) is the recipient of a large in-kind donation of indoor space from Redmond Town Center to last four consecutive weekends starting Nov. 29. Artists, all creative art makers, painters, sculptors, photographers, mixed-media, textile, printmaking, glass, designers and craftsmen in all categories, are invited to apply for this opportunity to create and sell artwork during these weekends. Chosen artists will be part of the first temporary VALA Art Studio Artist in Residence (AIR) Program. Artists will have the opportunity to have “studio space” to create their artwork and if they so choose to have display of artwork to sell free of cost or commission. The primary function of the VALA Art Studio is to allow artists the free space to create their artwork, collaborate with participating artists and VALA staff and connect to their local community while doing so. In addition, Redmond Town Center, 425 Magazine and KPLU radio have agreed to sponsor a grand opening to benefit the VALA Art Studio from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Nov. 29 following the Redmond Town Center tree lighting. Only 10 artists will be selected for the duration of the VALA Art Studio AIR Program. To view the full prospectus and apply, visit www.valaeastside.org/ artistopportunities.

seven Eastside Catholic School Commended Students in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program. “The National Merit scholars at Eastside Catholic School represent a wonderful sampling of interests and competences,” said Principal Polly Skinner. “These students embody a strong commitment to academic excellence, leadership and service to others. We are proud of their accomplishments in the classroom and the quality of the relationships they have developed with their classmates and teachers.” A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the program, was presented by Principal Skinner, Vice Principal Mark Zmuda and President and CEO Sister Mary Tracy to these seniors. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2014 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2014 competition by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
