‘We’re living in hard times’ Reporter examines the homeless situation in Redmond and how local police, the library and other organizations are there to lend a hand SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
A homeless person rests at one of the entrances of the Redmond Regional Library on Wednesday morning. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter
As night slowly turns into day in the early hours of Wednesday morning, a man stands outside the Redmond Regional Library along Northeast 85th Street. Like most of the people surrounding him, he is waiting for the bus — in his case, the 232 to Bellevue. But unlike most of the people around him, he did not drive or take another bus to get there. That is because the man, who prefers to go by the nickname of Bear, is homeless. Born in Seattle and having grown up around the Eastside, Bear used to live near the Crossroads mall in Bellevue. He said he was kicked out of his apartment a few years ago and fell on hard times so he hasn’t been able to find another place to live. While Bear receives food stamps from the government,
he also has a number of physical ailments including scoliosis and a brain and heart infection and spends a lot of time going to see doctors. “I have my expenses even though I can’t afford to live anywhere,” he said, adding, “We’re living in hard times.”
HOMELESS BY CHOICE OR CIRCUMSTANCE
Dressed in a dark leather jacket and baggy pants, with a brown ball cap sitting backwards on his head and his personal effects in a green reusable bag attached to the walker he uses to get around, Bear is among a group of homeless individuals who spend time — and sometimes the night — in and around the library. The situation was brought to the Reporter’s attention after an anonymous reader, who commutes to work from the bus stop outside the library, called in to the Reporter. She said she and
other bus riders began noticing young people who appeared to be homeless hanging around the library and became curious. The reader said she was concerned about their well being and ability to access services as well as the fact that the weather is starting to get colder. Although the people who congregate around the library are all ages, Julie Beard, neighborhood resource officer (NRO) for the Redmond Police Department (RPD), said many of them are young adults from about 18 to early 20s — just as the reader and her fellow commuters noticed. “Sometimes we see no one there and sometimes we see as many as half a dozen kids sleeping there,” she said. Beard said the younger people tend to come together in groups. Older individuals like Bear, who is 40, are more often on their own and more transient. While [ more HOMELESS page 9 ]
Class prepares students for disasters
Catherine Robinson (right) instructs students on how to check for injuries during a CERT class at Redmond High. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
On Tuesday morning, Catherine Robinson’s classroom at Redmond High School (RHS) was filled with students laying on the ground, describing various injuries as other students checked on them. But this was not the aftermath of a major disaster. This was part of the school’s new Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) class, in which students are learning how to respond to various emergency situations. “It teaches people to be prepared for disasters,” said Robinson, the course’s instructor, adding that the curriculum is based on the premise that emergency services will not be able to reach them. This is the first year the class has been offered, [ more PREPARE page 10 ]

Courtesy photo Redmond High’s girls swim and dive team went “pink” for breast cancer awareness month at its Oct. 17 meet versus Eastlake High at Redmond Pool. After the meet, the girls enjoyed pink refreshments: hot pink frosted cakes, pink wrapped candies and pink lemonade. Many of the pink swim caps were purchased from the sportswear company
Speedo, which has several types of sportswear that specifically supports breast cancer awareness. Portions of the proceeds from its sales will be donated to the cause.

Stop watching the entertainment channel known as Fox News
(In response to Michael Costello’s letter, “Editorial was a ‘bunch of bull,’” regarding the Oct. 11 editorial, “It’s time to end the government shutdown.”) Mr. Costello should stop watching the entertainment channel known as Fox News if he wants to get some information that is not misrepresented or a total lie! Remember, Fox News cannot be broadcast in Canada because they would not agree to tell the truth because, in their own words, they are an “entertainment channel.” Mr. Costello equates Obamacare to Marxism, which on its face is laughable as it’s actually an idea from that bastion of Marxism, the Republican party! Most Progressives would have chosen to implement a single-payer system similar to Medicare, which runs, generally, VERY efficiently. He also states that 30 million people will not be covered by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which may be true but it’s because some states have refused to set up exchanges! He also is bringing up the disproven “death panel” issue AGAIN! He apparently doesn’t realize there are already “death panels” operating within every health insurance company when they deny care over a certain dollar figure, which will be reduced under the ACA! He states there are ways to provide health care to the millions that need it, but offers no specifics other than “a lot of ways to do it that don’t result in the attacks on liberty, freedom and choice” — all I can say is what a huge bunch of HOOEY! The states that are implementing it are seeing MUCH more choice! Plus if he’s really so afraid of it, just don’t join and pay the minor tax penalty or don’t! There is no provision for you to be arrested if you do not pay the penalty. So much for the tyranny these knuckle draggers keep spouting off about! He also quotes Dr. Ben Carson (another Fox talking head) who said the ACA was “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” which is so ridiculous that the Miami Herald’s Leonard Pitts said “it trivializes one of the great sins of the last millennium, urinates on the unmarked graves of ancestors for a cheap rhetorical stunt. As such, the statement is beneath contempt.” I suppose we can just go back to the uninsured being cared for at emergency rooms all across the nation where they must be legally treated and have you and everyone else pay more for health insurance and hospital fees as poor people just have no ability to pay the exorbitant bills. Maybe you’d like us to go back to the days of debtor prisons.
city decided to sit on them. (A Superior Court judge later ruled that the city should have turned the signatures in for validation). Based on our initiative campaign, the City Council voted unanimously to reverse its endorsement of the red-light camera program and instead terminated the contract with the redlight camera company. The cameras have since been removed from the City of Redmond. This is the happy ending the citizens of Redmond hoped for, right? While it is true that our campaign was successful in accomplishing our ultimate goal of killing the program, my experience taught us that the municipal initiative process is seriously flawed. When a city controls the validation process and has the legal resources to block a measure from going to the ballot, an initiative sponsor faces too much uncertainty to take on the task. This kills citizen activism. Redmond would still have the horrible ticketing program the public overwhelmingly despised if I had known in 2011 what I now know about the dysfunctional municipal initiative process. I simply never would have started the initiative campaign in the first place. Unless I-517 passes, the municipal initiative tool is dead. I support I-517 because I want to make sure no one else will ever have to go through the same obstruction I did. Without I-517, Redmond’s initiative process will be available in theory, but not in practice. Redmond’s forefathers included the right to the initiative process in the city charter, but only with I-517 will local citizens actually be able to use it. Please vote yes on Initiative 517.
Scott Harlan, Redmond
This is our chance to step up and create Citizens should be able to some positive change to add my support of I-522. There use the initiative process areI sowanted many arguments thrown around, such as Stevor Compton, Redmond
My strong support for Initiative 517 stems from the experience I had sponsoring the first initiative in Redmond city history: LET THE VOTERS DECIDE ON RED-LIGHT CAMERAS. In 2011, volunteers collected enough signatures to easily qualify the measure for the ballot. Rather than submit the signatures to the county for validation as required by law, the
the cost of labeling, which just isn’t true. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) already have to be labeled for 64 countries! I have friends who have manufacturing businesses and they change their labels all the time. It isn’t a huge cost as it is being touted. Besides, we should know whether or not we are eating a tomato that has a salmon gene in-
jected into it to prevent it from freezing. People should be aware that this is what a GMO is — genetically altered food that is not found in nature. You will never find a salmon mating with a tomato. My father used to splice various types of apple trees together so we would have three or four different apples on the same tree. That is NOT the definition of genetic modification! And the amount of toxic pesticides being used on the GMO plants is alarming. There are so many potential problems to our health as a result. Here is one from an article on Mercola. com: “One of the potential reasons for the skyrocketing increase in Alzheimer’s may be related to rising glyphosate residues in our food supply. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, used in everincreasing amounts on genetically engineered (GE) crops. Glyphosate is a potent mineral chelator, binding up minerals like zinc and manganese from being used by the plant, or anyone who eats the plant since it is impossible to wash off glyphosate as it becomes integrated into all the plant cells. Zinc deficiency in turn, is thought to contribute to diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.” Tampering with nature with GMO seeds has been shown to have longer term affects than nuclear waste. Sign up to watch the GMO Mini Summit featuring Jeffrey Smith and John Robbins to learn everything you wanted to know about what a GMO is (all in one place) and the dangers of them — gmosummit.org/summit welcome. To say GMO produce can be controlled is ludicrous. In fact, I would imagine that a corporation would not want it to be controlled. They would like to have their seeds sprouting up everywhere so they can OWN them through royalties. Monsanto has sued small farmers who, through no fault of their own, ended up with GMO produce on their land. Because, guess what?, seeds are spread by wind, birds, animals, etc. The seeds from one tree can produce an entire forest. Just one of Monsanto’s seeds grown into a plant can produce thousands of seeds that produce plants that produce seeds. Do you get the picture? Do you understand the gravity of the situation? A corporation’s only duty is to please their shareholders via more and more profits. And what better way to make a profit than to control all of our food supply and who cares the cost to our ecosystem? So to say they “care” would be a stretch.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.
“Gee, we can control world hunger by taking away your basic rights that you have always had as farmers and charging you a lot of money for seeds every year.” Now, Monsanto can’t even be sued for any of their egregious behavior because Congress extended a law that they (Monsanto, et al) are exempt from being sued for any and all harm they have caused farmers, the environment, your health, etc. That is the power of money. That is the power of a large corporation with a highly paid team of corporate attorneys. That is the power all of their money wields in politics. For them to complain about labeling costs, about
the fact that GMO stamped on the front of the package, etc , will scare people, is smoke and mirrors. We are not children. We are educated and informed adults who deserve to know what we are eating. By the way, Monsanto was invited to a meeting to decide where the label should be put and they did not show up. So now they complain? This is our chance to step up and create some positive change. This is a democracy after all. We need and deserve labeling so we know what we are eating, what we are doing to ourselves, small farmers and our ecosystem! A good first step to controlling this is to say yes to I-522!

of those companies have your best interest in mind is a stretch. They only have their shareholders interest in mind. Educate yourselves about the structure of corporations and the duty of the corporate officers. One of Monsanto’s claims is that they want to help with world hunger. I have never heard of a company concerned about world hunger, telling farmers they cannot reuse their seeds unless they pay a royalty to Monsanto. These are poor farmers all over the world who have always, since we began farming thousands of years ago, used the seeds from their plants. I have never heard of a company saying,

A well-earned retirement After nearly 30 years, 85-year-old Redmond Heights worker plans to relax and enjoy time with family spak@redmond-reporter.com
In January 1986, Khanh Cung started his job at Evergreen Vista as a server, setting tables before meals and bringing people their food. Almost 30 years later, the senior living community has gone through a few name changes — first to Cascade Plaza and now Redmond Heights Senior Living — and Cung still bustles about the dining room, going from table to table, checking on residents and making sure they have everything they need as they sit down for their meals. But not for long as the Bothell resident will be leaving Redmond Heights and retiring on Monday. “You know, I’m too old,” he said. “I’d like to enjoy the last few years of my life.” And at 85, it has been a long — and full — life so far.
A HISTORY OF HARD WORK Cung grew up in Vietnam, initially working as a schoolteacher for about five years before joining the Vietnamese military. He served for 21 years, and when the communists took over the country, he was sent to a labor camp, where he stayed for three years from 1975-78. He then spent about a year performing more labor in one of the country’s “New Economic Zones.” Cung escaped in 1980, and on March 5 of that year, he fled Vietnam by boat. This was followed by seven months in a refugee camp in Malaysia. He arrived in the United States on Oct. 8, 1980. Once he arrived in Washington — the only state he has lived in — Cung attended Lake Washington
Institute of Technology for two years and Bellevue Community College (now Bellevue College) for one year. He took classes to learn English as well as bookkeeping. Although his English skills needed work, he said he had some experience with the language before coming to the states. “When I was in the military, I worked with American advisers,” he explained. All of the hard work Cung has done throughout his life has transferred to his duties at Redmond Heights. “He’s a machine. I wish I could clone him,” said Dawna Talman, Redmond Heights’ executive chef and Cung’s supervisor. “I know that the job’s going to get done. I don’t have to tell him what to do. He just knows.”
TO MISS AND BE MISSED When Talman learned of Cung’s retirement, she said she was sad. “He’s a very, very hard worker — very courteous, very polite,” she said. “The residents love him. He’s one of the nicest gentlemen you’ll ever meet.” Larry Marsh, a resident of five years, agreed, adding that Cung is “twice anyone else.” “He’s going to be missed a lot,” Marsh said. Talman said Cung is also able to “relate to (the) residents better than the younger (employees)” as he is similar in age to them. Doris Thompson, who has been living at Redmond Heights for 11 years, said Cung is an amazing man. The 95-year-old said his nickname is “Speedy” because he will know in advance what people want to eat and is always quick and on top of things.

“Your oatmeal would be in front of you before you’d hardly gotten seated,” she said. Mary Jane Brooke, an 81-year-old Redmond Heights resident of about a year, added that Cung “just runs,” which is impressive as not many people their age can move like that. She said she is always happy on Sundays and Mondays because those are the days Cung works. “We’ll just miss his activity,” Brooke said. “He always greets you, asks if you have everything you need…I just know he’s going to be missed even though he only works two days a week.” She added that because Cung still speaks with a Vietnamese accent, it may
be difficult for people to understand him from time to time — especially for those using hearing aids. However, Cung never gets impatient and will repeat himself until people can understand, Brooke said. And while everyone at Redmond Heights will miss Cung, he said he will miss

Hopelink luncheon raises more than Council member Myers helps plant $1.1 million for community services native trees along Bear Creek
Guests at Hopelink’s Reaching Out Benefit Luncheon raised more than $1.1 million at Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Center on Monday. Now in its 18th year, the annual fundraiser was the organization’s most successful to date, helping ensure that tens of thousands of local at-risk families and individuals navigate the journey from vulnerability and crisis to independence and stability.
During the luncheon, more than 1,500 people heard keynote speaker Mark Kennedy Shriver share stories about his father, Sargent Shriver, and talk about faith, hope, love and the role Hopelink plays in the community. “The work Hopelink does every day, the work they do on a daily basis, are really acts of hope and acts of love,” Shriver said. “Hopelink is literally feed-
City of Redmond Council member Hank Myers joined Waste Management employees in planting native trees and shrubs along Bear Creek in Redmond at a Mountains to Sound Greenway volunteer event on Oct. 17. Bear Creek Park, a natural area in the urban heart of Redmond, provides a wildlife corridor through the city. Sockeye salmon travel through Bear Creek; beavers live along the creek and a report of a bobcat came in from the day before the event. Waste Management employee Robin Freedman also joined Myers at the event, which was staffed by Mountains to Sound Greenway and EarthCorps staff and crews. The Mountains to Sound Greenway is the 1.5 million-acre landscape connecting Puget Sound and central Washington that has sustained generations through the abundance of its natural resources. Alpine peaks, wilderness lakes and forests connect by road, rail and trail to rural towns and city high rises, where local residents live, work and play in communities deeply rooted to the land around them. Twenty years of conservation have protected the natural heritage of the Greenway. The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust was founded in 1991. The nonprofit Greenway Trust works to promote public land acquisitions, connect a continuous regional trail system, teach people of all ages about the importance of conserving forests and wildlife, improve recreation

It is an honor to be around people who try every day to heal the world — people who remind me of my mom and dad, for whom being good and trying to do good was the ultimate goal; people who have faith in the power of hope and love.” The son of Sargent and Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the younger Shriver is senior vice president for Strategic Initiatives and senior adviser to the CEO at Save the Children, which is working to ensure a fair start for all children in America — including the nearly one in four living in poverty. Shriver’s best-selling memoir, “A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver,” was published in June 2012. Luncheon guests also heard from Chauncey Pearl, a former Hopelink client, who is now on the dean’s list in culinary arts at Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

Sandy Matts has had a love for horses from a young age and in 2011, she decided to turn her passion into something much more than a personal hobby. Matts is the owner of Raven Rock Ranch, a facility located in Redmond that specializes in pairing
rescued horses with at-risk children. She and her husband, Tim, started the organization two years ago in the hopes of changing the lives of children and their families. The ranch is 100 percent donation based, meaning there is no cost for students to attend. “These kids have all suffered damage in some kind

of capacity,” Matts said. “Some of them have been abused, some have been bullied, some are suicidal. … They’re physically ablebodied, but they’re emotionally disabled.” Word of mouth is the main way families find out about Raven Rock Ranch. In addition, the YMCA and other organizations have referred students there. The goal is to help children overcome their challenges and reconnect with their communities by using equine-facilitated therapy. They learn skills such as cooperation, trust and leadership. Matts believes that working one-on-one with a horse can be much more effective than just having a conversation. “The limbic part of the brain is where relationships are formed, sort of like relationship gates. When someone has been damaged in a relationship, the walls are up, and there’s no accessing it. However, (the kids) haven’t been damaged by a horse. They trust horses,” Matts said. In addition to being a psychotherapist, Matts is a certified NARHA instructor. This organization oversees riding for the handicapped in North America. She formerly worked in the special education program of the Lake Washington School District and was named state Para Educator
of the Year. She received a master’s in counseling from Northwest University. Robin Moore, a volunteer with Raven Rock since June, said, “When I found out that they’re matching kids that need help with horses that have maybe also had some troubles, I just thought, ‘What a great combination of services.’ It’s cool to see all of those elements come together in a great program.” A typical session begins with about 30 minutes of work, such as cleaning stalls or sweeping. Next the child will groom the horse, sometimes with the help of a parent or guardian. Then, depending on the child, he or she might do some groundwork, which involves leadership exercises such as getting the horse to back up, walk in figure eights or follow them without a lead. Eventually, the child is able to ride. Through various activities and games, the child forms a relationship with the horse. This relationship, according to Matts, can transfer over to the child’s relationships with people. “Once the child realizes that (he or she) can, even with an 1,100-pound horse, set boundaries and enforce those boundaries firmly but kindly, (the child) can also regulate those boundaries with a peer group or parents,” she said, “and it’s highly effective.” Matts likes to use something she calls “activation scales” to help children regulate their own behavior by asking them to rate their horse’s excitement level on a scale from 1 to 5. Once they assess how their horse is feeling, it becomes easier to assess themselves as well and change their own behavior in order to effectively work with the horse. Matts recalled how having a relationship with her horse as a child helped her overcome her own adversities. “I know that it works, personally,” she said, “but I also get to see it work every day, and it’s just a remarkable experience.” [ more Raven page 9 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ homeless from page 1] speaking with the Reporter, Bear pointed out an older woman around her 60s walking by who was also homeless and by herself. Beard added that these individuals — both younger and older — are usually from all over the place. Bear said some of the “street kids” he meets are homeless because their parents have kicked them out or other family issues have them choosing to live on the streets — something he does not recommend. “I would never choose to be homeless,” he said, adding that he has become disillusioned by his unsuccessful hunt for housing.
KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE AND HAPPY
When RPD comes in contact with homeless young adults outside the library after hours, Beard said they will often refer them to the Landing, the shelter for people from ages 18-24 located at the Together Center at 16225 N.E. 87th St. in downtown Redmond. The Landing has 15 beds per night, which are assigned randomly by a lottery. The shelter is run by Friends of Youth (FOY), a nonprofit organization whose mission includes helping homeless youth. Derek Wentorf, director of homeless youth services for FOY, said their street outreach and shelter team will meet the young people where they are and let them know the organization is there for support if they need it and provide hygiene supplies and food if the young people ask for it. “From there, we have a wide array of services to support them in moving to independence,” he said. “The youth guide the way and we work with them to achieve the goals they outline. From case management and mental health support to housing and education or employment support, Friends of Youth’s

goal is to help every young person have the opportunity for success.” Wentorf added that FOY’s street outreach team covers 15 Eastside cities and in addition to the Landing, the nonprofit has shelter services for youth younger than 18 with beds for six girls and six boys. The organization also collaborates to implement King County Safe Place, a network of community businesses, government entities and nonprofit locations that provide a safe location for youth who have run from home and have nowhere to go, he said. If an individual they meet is older than the age range, Wentorf said FOY will work with partners such as Hopelink, Congregations for the Homeless and Sophia’s Way to connect them to the appropriate resources in East King County or beyond. If a young person does not have a safe place to spend the night and there is no room for them at the Landing, Wentorf said their options are limited. FOY tries to provide them with gear to stay warm and dry for that evening and
guarantee them a bed the next night. Shelter staff also provides bus tickets for transportation. “The Landing has been great,” Beard said, adding that they will more often than not run into an FOY caseworker talking with people at the library whenever they stop by, as well. “Our mission is to get people services because it’s not against the law to sit on the sidewalk.” Currently, RPD is working with the Redmond Library as well as King County Library System (KCLS) to see if having people sleep outside the building will be a problem or if it is just a reality in the community. So far, Beard said they haven’t really had any problems of individuals interfering with the public or blocking business and customers into the library. When RPD has had calls, it has typically been people just notifying police about the situation or calls regarding problems arising within the group, she said. “We’re trying to keep the people safe and we’re trying to keep the library customers happy,” Beard said.
GOING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS
last year, as well. Oesting, who oversees the Redmond, Redmond Ridge and Kirkland libraries, said he has seen similar behavior at other libraries he currently works at and has worked at in the past. Redmond Library does see its regulars during its open hours — individuals who will come in to read, use a computer or just stay warm from the cold, Oesting said. Although, the population does change quite a bit. He said they don’t have a problem with people sleeping outside the library or utilizing the Wi-Fi outside the building, but they do ask that they be gone by 9 a.m. when the library opens. So far, there have not been any problems, Oesting said. He added that sometimes the individuals will be waiting outside the door along with the rest of the customers and employees waiting to get inside the building. “They pretty much mind their own business,” he
said. “They’ve always been pretty friendly.” Bear agreed, saying many among the homeless contingent in the area will just come to the library at night to sleep and then they scatter during the day to go about their business — sometimes this includes going to work. “We’re trying to respect the community and just ask for the same,” he said.
NO NEED TO BE AFRAID
While most people — both homeless and not — tend to keep to themselves, there are times when the two groups interact with each other. Paula Christiansen, a Kirkland resident who works in Redmond and waits at the bus stop outside Redmond Library every Wednesday mornings, is prepared for such situations. “If I see someone who seems approachable, I carry St. Vincent de Paul packets,” she said. These packets include
$1 tickets for McDonald’s, a thrift store coupon good for one blanket, phone numbers for various services and a prayer. Christiansen said when she approaches a person who may be homeless, she almost always says, “Good morning.” If the individual is not responsive, she will back off, but if they do respond, she said she keeps a calm demeanor as she speaks with them, pointing out that anyone could end up in a situation in which they need help. “We don’t have to be afraid of every single person who’s in trouble,” Christiansen said. Bear said he is not a fan of confrontations but does not mind engaging in conversation with others. This is exactly what he did Wednesday morning with Christiansen, who gave him one of her St. Vincent de Paul packets. “I’ll talk to anybody as long as they’re nice,” he said.

Sue Teague, a long-time friend of Matts and volunteer at Raven Rock since its inception, said, “You can’t set everybody free from their fears and past experiences, but certainly when you see even one child start to develop a bond with a horse, and start that healing process, it’s very rewarding.” The ranch currently has six horses, all rescued from various circumstances, and about
25 students per week. Some children who come to work on specific issues stay on as volunteers. Matts said that she would love to expand, but notes that she can’t take on more than the organization can handle financially since it’s a nonprofit. “We have grown so fast, and so well, that I know that it will get bigger. It’s going to happen when it happens,” Matts said. Kaylan Lovrovich is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

Battalion chief suffers minor injuries in accident A Redmond Fire Department battalion chief sustained minor injuries when his Chevy Suburban — with lights and siren activated while he was on a call — was struck by another vehicle at about 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday. According to Redmond Police Department public information officer Julie Beard, the crash occurred at the intersection of Redmond Way and 164th Avenue Northeast. As the chief drove through the intersection, most vehicles yielded, but one or two did not and that resulted in two possible crashes with one vehicle striking the fire SUV. (Beard was still trying to determine how many vehicles were involved in the accident at the Reporter’s press time.) The chief was not transported to the hospital. No one else was injured. “My hope is that this is a reminder of the danger emergency responders place themselves in responding to emergencies and reminding the public to always be cognizant of emergency lights and sirens,” Beard said.

although Robinson has been teaching the City of Issaquah’s CERT classes for eight years and has wanted to bring it into the classroom for a while. She said teaching CERT at the school has been great because the students bring an untapped enthusiasm to the table. In addition, she said the class is an extension of the emergency drills they practice at school as it gives students the opportunity to learn some of the things they may need to do after the drills in a real-life situation. One of the topics the course has covered so far is responding to a mass-injuries situation in which a small group of students tends to the rest of the class, who have been injured in some sort of disaster such as a major earthquake. The students have also learned how to suppress small fires — thanks to a visit from the Redmond Fire Department — and how to perform triage and tag injured individuals based on the level of their injuries. “It covers a large gamut,” Robinson said. Senior Sara Long signed up for the class because she knows emergency services may get overwhelmed during a disaster and said she thought it would be good to know what to do “if (she) was called.” And since she has been in the class, she said she has felt more

She
said it is good for students to get CERT trained because adults may not always have the time to do so and the teens can pass the information they learn on to their families. Like Griffith, freshman Jake Massey and sophomore Anthony Casanas signed up for the class because they saw it as a way to help them in their future careers. Massey said he has been thinking about becoming a police officer and Casanas has always wanted to be a firefighter since he was little. “This is just a good start to it,” Massey said about CERT training. He added that as someone with ADHD, the class is very hands on and it works well for him. Casanas said he also enjoys how involved the class is. “It’s not a bunch of worksheets,” he said, adding that
the class has also solidified his desire to fight fires when he grows up. Robinson, who also teaches biology and Advanced Placement environmental science at RHS, said CERT is a FEMA course and the school’s program is an extension of the City of Redmond’s program. She said they have also been working with the city on the course, bringing in people from the fire and police departments to talk with students. Other specialists such as a triage nurse and a psychologist are also among the guests that have visited or are scheduled to visit. In addition to training the students, Robinson said the class is also working with the school’s administration to look at and incorporate what they learn into the school’s emergency plans.

Boy Scouts fly with aircraft association members Boy Scouts from Troop 591 in Redmond recently visited Paine Field in Everett to learn about aviation, go for a ride in a small plane, and for six of the boys, actually take the controls. Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1440, which meets at the Redmond Public Library, hosted the 14 boys. The scouts were treated to a wide range of activities by the EAA volunteers, including learning about factors controlling aircraft flight by building and controlling small Styrofoam planes, constructing a sample section of airplane flap out of aluminum using the same tools and techniques as those used by Boeing and other manufacturers. The boys, ranging in age from 11 to 16, were shown the planes and controls by their EAA pilots, who volunteered their time and airplanes to support this event. The flights lasted approximately 40 minutes, going from Everett to near

The boys were given the opportunity to see their houses and schools, as well as see Faith Lutheran Church in Redmond, which is where the troop meets every Monday.
This event was made possible through the close coordination between EAA event leader Tim Naugler and his counterpart in the scout troop, Lydia Abbott. They overcame liability issues, addressed safety rules and enabled the event to occur. Throughout it all, they worked to ensure
that the boys had the best possible time. As the result of the boys’ visit to the airport and going for the ride, they will have completed the requirements for an Aviation Merit badge. They can use this badge as part of their progress toward Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting.
Parents benefit from AAA’s Teen Driver Safety Week To celebrate Teen Driver Safety Week, AAA is launching the StartSmart Online Parent Session that gives parents easy access to useful parenting practices for supervising and managing a teen driver. Through interactive elements and demonstrations, the two-hour program covers everything a parent needs to know, including a discussion about the situations and challenges they will most likely experience during supervised driving practice. Grounded in principles of adult learning, the StartSmart Online Parent Session helps parents be more effective driving coaches as their teens learn to drive. The program is being offered at a 50 percent discount ($9.95) in support of Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct. 20-26. The new program along with free teen driver education resources can be found at TeenDriving.AAA.com. “Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for all 15-20-year-
olds, accounting for the deaths of nearly 2,000 drivers of that age nationwide in 2011. In Washington that same year, 70 people lost their lives in crashes involving 15-20 year-olds,” said Jennifer Cook, senior manager of corporate communications at AAA Washington. “AAA recommends that parents help their teens get ample quality driving practice, beyond the routine trips on familiar roads, to help develop the skills and mindset needed to be safer drivers.” To encourage parents to share their wisdom with younger drivers, AAA is launching a national contest soliciting the best driving advice that parents wish to impart on teen drivers, along with a chance to challenge their own driving smarts by taking the “Are You Smarter Than Your Teen Driver?” quiz. Parents can submit entries at Contest.TeenDriving.AAA.com now through Dec. 11 and will be eligible to win prizes including an iPad mini and VISA gift cards.

GUEST COLUMN
Welcome winter with wellness tips to stay healthy and happy As the director of resident services at Redmond’s Emerald Heights retirement community, my staff and I are often asked for tips to stay healthy and active throughout winter. In our region, winter can drag
on, and the couch can be enticing. I’ve found that approaching the season optimistically — and with a plan in place — is the key to a happy and healthy winter season. It shouldn’t be an all-or-nothing mindset;
winter wellness is dependent upon individual balance of physical, social and vocational fulfillment. The bottom line is to stay active! It’s easy to eliminate our walking routine or decrease the amount of
steps we take each day, but the best way to stay healthy is to establish a routine and track your activity. Buying a pedometer is an easy and efficient way to monitor your steps. Start tracking now to see how far you are
currently walking, and then be sure to keep it up as the winter months set in. Start a group and set a goal, then head to the mall or another location nearby with heat and flat surfaces to walk on. This year at Emerald [ more tips page 15]

Here, we offer a broad range of classes, from laughing yoga to seated cardio and strength training. Similar types of classes are generally offered throughout the community, so check your local listings. Exercising with a group can be a fun way to socialize, without it being centered on food. Around the holidays, it is easy to indulge on treats and heavy meals. Focusing gatherings around an activity is a good way to eliminate some of the mindless and unhealthy eating. Fun activities could include playing cards, knitting, forming a book club or even going to a holiday concert or show. Don’t over-commit. While it’s important to socialize, keep in mind your personal well-being. By prioritizing your time and finding a balance between guest and host expectations, you will ensure that you are truly enjoying and appreciating the company of others at the gatherings. If you suffer from the anxiety of obligation, schedule time for yourself and try meditation or self-reflection. Volunteering and pursuing new hobbies are also relaxing ways to de-stress. Although many summer
outdoor hobbies and interests aren’t possible in the coming months, the winter months offer an opportunity to challenge ourselves to use our talents in other ways. If you’re a gardener, try nurturing new indoor plants. Volunteering has also been proven to reduce stress and increase personal fulfillment and is frequently a social outlet, as well.

Healthy aging could be the next frontier of medical research, study suggests

[16] October 25, 2013 ways to reduce mortality from fatal diseases. But now disabled life expectancy is rising faster than total life expectancy, leaving the number of years that one can expect to live in good health unchanged or diminished,” wrote Dr. Dana P. Goldman, a professor of public health and pharmaceutical economics at the University of Southern California and lead author of the study report. “If we can age more slowly, we can delay the onset and progression of many disabling diseases simultaneously.”
In 2009, the latest year for which data is available, the number of Americans 65 years and older was close to 40 million. By 2030, it will be about 72 million, twice as many as in 2000. If even a small percentage of the elderly could be kept in reasonably good health, it would make a significant difference, not only in quality of life but also in expenditures for health care and entitlement programs. “Delayed aging could increase life expectancy by an additional 2.2 years, most of which would be spent in
good health. The economic value of delayed aging is estimated to be 7.1 trillion over fifty years,” the study report concluded. In their assessment, the researchers emphasize that slowing the aging process at least in parts of the population is a realistic goal that should be pursued sooner rather than later. In place of combating individual diseases, they recommend large-scale measures of prevention. A greater focus on early prevention is also supported by many healthcare organizations, including the American Heart As-

quality and lack of physical activity,” wrote lead author Dr. Bonnie Spring, a professor of preventive medicine and psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University. Taking proactive steps for the prevention of chronic diseases is also recommended as the most effective and affordable method of healthcare by the leading organization of dietitians and nutritionists, especially through dietary intervention. None of these insights are new, of course. That an apple a day can keep the doctor away is an old
mantra. What seems to be increasingly changing now, however, is the belief that healthcare only means treating illnesses after they occur. That wasn’t always the case. For example, in ancient China, people paid their doctors as long as they were well, and stopped paying the moment they fell ill. That way, doctors benefitted from their patients’ health, not their sickness. Food for thought.

Two-thirds of petrelated accidents involving devices happened while the pet was unsupervised.

Bear Creek’s boys soccer squad has been tearing through the Sea-Tac 2B League this season. The Grizzlies notched a 9-0 regular-season record and amassed 54 goals during that run. Now, the league tourney is upon them and the boys hope to continue their winning ways. Bear Creek was to open the league tourney yesterday (after the Reporter’s deadline) and is scheduled to play another match tomorrow. “We feel confident. We have a strong core of guys that have played with each other for a long time. We know how we
all play and that helps with everything,” said senior midfielder and co-captain Sajan Nauriyal after Tuesday’s practice. He added that the Grizzlies’ main goal is “don’t get beat” on defense; and it worked since they only conceded four league goals this season. “(Coach Chad Pohlman) is really strong on finish this year — finishing, whether it’s your last sprint or last game of the season,” Nauriyal added. Alex Davisson, a senior defender and co-captain, has played on varsity for four years and feels the Grizzlies bring a cohesive team to the field each time out. He’s played soccer with fellow seniors Blake Denniston, Luke Blankenbeckler, Jesse Leuenberger and Stan Leszynski since kindergarten and is glad to still be along on the ride with them. Both seniors and sophomores are playing well together and enjoying each other’s company, the co-captains said. “This year’s been one of the better years as far as attitude. Everybody’s upbeat and positive,” Davisson said. Brandon Saw is another top senior, according to Pohlman, and the Grizzlies’ top sophomore crew includes Sam Humphries, Nathan Sim, Keelan Nauriyal, Andrew Ray and Mason Montgomery. At press time, Humphries led the team with 16 goals, Blankenbeckler was second with 10 goals and Denniston
had nine shutouts in the Grizzlies’ 15 total games (they were 14-1 overall and outscored opponents, 73-6). Bear Creek has found massive postseason success over the last six years, especially in state tourneys: first in 2006, second in 2009, fourth in 2007 and 2011 and fifth in 2010 and 2012. “We’re just as solid. I can see us doing good things (in the postseason) this year,” said Davisson, who said the team moves the ball outside to its midfielders, works the ball upfield and looks for its opponents’ weak spots and attacks on offense. Speaking of offense, Keelan Nauriyal led the Bear Creek charge with a hat trick during its 7-0 win over Shorewood Christian on Oct. 18. Older brother Sajan feels Keelan could be part of the Grizzlies’ postseason success and their future accomplishments. “It’s the first time I’ve ever played on the same team as him — it’s a cool thing. He’ll know where I am, but then there’s also times where like, if either of us plays a bad ball, you hear about it after the game,” Sajan said with a laugh. “It carries into the home life.” Davisson chuckles, as well, and adds that he loves watching the Nauriyal brothers connect on the soccer pitch. Cousins Blankenbeckler and Leuenberger share that familial bond, too, which Davisson feels gives Bear Creek a boost when the games begin.

LWSD students improve on state standardized tests cent, up from 77.1 percent in 2011. Individual schools within the district are also measured against their own past results. The 2013 test scores for LWSD showed improvements in almost every subgroup in both reading and math compared to the 2011 results. In math, 82.6 percent of all students reached standard this year, which was over the 80.9 percent target. In almost all subgroups in reading, however, the increase was not enough to reach this year’s district-specific target. For example, for the “all students” group, 85.7 percent reached standard in reading in 2011. The target

We are seeing solid gains and scores that continue to be well above state averages.” Under the AMO system, LWSD is being measured on improvement in results by its own students in 2011, not against a statewide measure.

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students improved their results on state standardized tests as compared to 2011 in almost every subgroup in reading and in math, but district results compared to Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) were mixed in 2012-13. Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), districts and schools in the state of Washington are measured against AMOs. These unique yearly targets in reading and mathematics are designed to reduce proficiency gaps by half by 2017 for all students and each student subgroup in that district or school. The AMOs for each school and district are determined based on the entity’s own performance in 2011 and the difference between that performance and 100 percent at standard. Statewide, most groups did not reach their AMO targets for 2012-13 in reading or in math. For LWSD, many groups did successfully reach their specific target for 2012-13 in math as a result of higher scores. Most did not make the districtspecific target in reading despite scoring gains. “While our results in reading continue to improve and are higher than most districts in the state, we are looking for even more improvement,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “We introduced a new elementary literacy curriculum this fall aligned to Common

Redmond High’s Noonavath receives Nordstrom Cares scholarship, laptop
BRIEFS
King County campaign takes a bite out of household food waste
Redmond High School senior Meghana Noonavath was recently surprised by representatives from Nordstrom Cares, who stopped by her calculus class to give her a $10,000 college scholarship plus a MacBook Air laptop. Noonavath was one of 80 students selected out of an applicant pool of more than 11,700 high school students to receive this scholarship. To apply, students completed an online application, which included a personal statement and an original essay. Selected finalists were then interviewed in person or by video conference with a regional selection committee that consists of educators, business leaders, community partners and Nordstrom representatives.

In an effort to reduce food waste, the King County Solid Waste Division has launched the Food: Too Good to Waste education campaign. “‘Waste not, want not’ is a familiar phrase, and I’m pleased that this new awareness campaign will focus on that wise mantra to save space in our landfill, and dollars in consumers’ wallets,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. The new campaign includes an online video series featuring PCC Natural Market’s chef Jackie Freeman, who shows three families the path to preventing food waste by making small changes in how they shop, prepare and store food. Watch the videos and learn more about preventing food waste at www.recyclefood.com. “Working with Chef Jackie, we learned a lot about how to reduce food waste, such as tricks for dealing with leftovers that makes them more appetizing and even fun to deal with,” said Jennifer Sawade, a member of one of the three families participating in the online video series. “We have now embraced leftover cooking, mindful grocery shopping and better refrigerator organization.” The Food: Too Good to Waste program was designed through a collaboration between the Environmental Protection Agency, King County and more than 25 other state, city and county government partners. King County piloted the campaign last year with a local elementary school, and plans to make this a multi-year public education effort. Here are some tips from the Food: Too Good to Waste video series: Before making your list each week, shop your kitchen first to see what you already have on hand to figure out how many meals you and your family members will eat at home. Include quantities next to each item on your list so you buy only what you need. Stick to your list and shop on a full stomach to avoid impulse buys. When you get home from the store, wash, dry, chop, dice, slice and place your fresh food items in clear storage containers for snacks and easy cooking. You can also batch cook food items or entire meals ahead of time that can be stored in the fridge or freezer, saving the amount of time you spend preparing food each week. Learn which fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer inside or outside the fridge. Many fruits give off natural gases that hasten the spoilage of nearby produce.

Sheriff’s Office given permission to impound BUI drivers’ boats
The King County Council unanimously passed legislation last week giving the Sheriff’s Office the authority to impound vessels of boaters who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. King County Council members Rod Dembowski and Reagan Dunn sponsored the legislation to give public safety officials additional authority to protect persons or property. “Those that operate boats while under the influence of drugs or alcohol present a serious threat to public safety,” said Sheriff John Urquhart. “Council member Dembowski and Council member Dunn’s ordinance gives our Marine Unit another tool to hold BUI offenders accountable and get our deputies back on the water as soon as possible. I thank them for their leadership on this issue.” The King County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit patrols Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, Puget Sound and many of the rivers and small lakes in King County. The legislation also gives the authority to impound drifting or unattended vessels if the owner cannot be located.

Youth Eastside Services (YES), formally known as “Heads Up,” is turning 45 this year, and a celebration is in the works.
Members of the Redmond Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints recently participated in a day of service in which more than 100 people participated. The first project was along the Powerline Trail through Farell-McWhirter park, where 45 volunteers working with City of Redmond arborist Chris Tolonen laid gravel along a half mile of the trail. The next project was at the Friendly Village mobile home park. Two weeks prior to the day of service, a boy working on his Eagle Scout badge re-painted the white address rectangles on the cement. On the day of service, more than 100 participants — over the course of three hours — painted the numbers back on using stencils. Once that was complete
As a part of the United Way Day of Caring, approximately 50 AT&T volunteers helped senior citizens at the Friendly Village Mobile Home Park in Redmond on Oct. 11 with yard work and window washing. AT&T helped residents of the mobile home park who do not have the funds to hire someone and also do not have the support network to help by sprucing up their outdoor living space. “The residents at Friendly Village are senior citizens. And although they own their mobile homes, not all of them are able to maintain the lot spaces they rent,” said Derek Harris, an AT&T employee at the company’s West Region Headquarters in Redmond. “Yard work and outdoor maintenance can be a tough job, and we’re here to give them a helping hand.” Each year, AT&T employees and retirees work to enhance their communities by taking part by volunteering millions of hours, including participation in the United Way of King County Day of Caring. Last year, AT&T employees and retirees in Washington donated more than 33,000 hours of personal time to community outreach activities.

As part of the celebration, YES wants anyone involved with the organization to commemorate the milestones over the past 45 years by sharing their story about it. The agency has set up a special form that can be found online at www. YouthEastsideServices.org. “We want to hear from kids who dropped in to ‘rap,’ and the volunteers who listened, as well as past staff and board members,” says YES Executive Director Patti SkeltonMcGougan. Those who complete the form can choose to remain anonymous. In the subsequent 45 years since its founding, YES has developed into a premier provider of prevention and treatment services for Eastside youth and their families. “YES continues to develop new and critical services to fill gaps for kids and families coping with tremendous challenges,” said Skelton-McGougan. “But we want to pause and celebrate those who recognized early on

The Success Mentoring Program, a service of Youth Eastside Services (YES), is looking for volunteers interested in making a difference in the life of a child. Currently, more than 30 youth are on a waiting list to be matched with a mentor, and some have been waiting for many months. A free information and training night will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Nov. 6 at Youth Eastside Services in the Crossroads area of Bellevue. To reserve a space, or for more information, contact Melissa at (425) 747-4937 or MelissaG@ YouthEastsideServices. org. Additional information can also be found online at YouthEastsideServices.org. The commitment to be a mentor is just two hours a week for a year, though many matches continue beyond that time. Most of the youth come from single parent families and need extra guidance from another caring adult. With the Success Mentoring Program, mentors receive training and support from skilled YES counselors. Each match is also carefully made for maximum compatibility. No experience with children is needed because you build a relationship doing the things you both enjoy. Success works with mentors who are young professionals, retired, or are people who have raised a family and want to give back. After screening and training, volunteers will be matched one-to-one with a child who is well suited geographically, shares common interests, and is available at times suitable for the mentor.

specially designed to ensure the safety and comfort of people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. Notable attendees included Redmond Mayor John Marchione, Áegis Living CEO Dwayne Clark and Belafonte’s wife, Pamela. Áegis at Marymoor, as well as the soon-to-open Áegis on Madison, are among the seven new Seattle-area communities Áegis Living is launching in the next three years.
