The City of Redmond is looking to make improvements along 166th Avenue Northeast from Northeast 85th Street and Northeast 100th Street. The corridor connects Education Hill and downtown Redmond, provides neighborhood access to Education Hill schools and churches and has been an area of concern among city staff as well as

Last Saturday afternoon, 256 people dressed up as zombies to groove in the “Thrill the World Redmond 2013”spooky event at Redmond Town Center. Zombies of all ages laid down in the streets “playing dead,”then slowly rose (to the beat of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”) and began a worldwide flash mob dance simulcast with other “Thrill the World”locations such as London, Sydney, Tokyo, Helsinki, New York and Brazil. Zombies also participated in a costume contest (right). The event raised $7,108 for SecondStory Repertory theater. The Redmond Reporter and Star 101.5 were co-sponsors for the event.

Alcott improvements are on the way SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

For several years, building renovations at Louisa May Alcott Elementary School have been put on hold as the school has been on a Lake Washington School District

(LWSD) list to be updated and modernized. It was not practical to put in the time and effort if the results would be torn down within a few years. But recently, the school — located in unincorporated King County outside of Redmond — was re-

area residents and drivers. Tricia Thomson, targeted safety improvement program manager for the city, said the goal of this rechannelization project is to improve safety for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Safety issues requiring consideration include delay to side-street vehicles accessing 166th Avenue Northeast, sight distance deficiencies, a truckclimbing lane, collisions, [ more STREET page 8 ]

From July 13 to Oct. 19, about 85 residents called Tent City 4 their home at Redwood Family Church at 11500 Redmond Woodinville Road N.E. Todd Puckett, lead pastor of the Redmond church, was hopeful that things would go well a few days before the residents set up camp. Now, reflecting on the experience a week after they left, Puckett is proud the church welcomed the homeless people into their realm.

“We felt like we built some great relationships with a lot of them,” he said. Puckett added that several of the residents attended church services at Redwood, and someone from the church will pick them up from their new home outside Mary, Queen of Peace Church in Sammamish and bring them back to continue their worship locally. Puckett said the Redwood churchgoers and people from the community served the residents meals and made sure they had the necessities for [ more TENTS page 8 ]

Microsoft employees to run NYC Marathon for Camp Korey This Sunday, 40 Team Korey members — including some Microsoft employees — will gather to run in the New York City Marathon to raise awareness and funds for the Carnation-based nonprofit, Camp Korey, which included 10 Redmond children during the program last summer. Named in honor of Korey Rose, a vivacious teen who lost his battle with bone cancer at age 18, Camp Korey helps thousands of children restore their childhood through therapeutic recreation. Children who participate live with illnesses such as mitochondrial disease, cerebral palsy and craniofacial differences. The time spent with other campers is often the only time when they’re surrounded by children with similar conditions. Over the past five years, the team has raised more than $800,000 in support of Camp Korey through running, cycling, climbing and other athletic and community events. Funds raised help to provide

Microsoft employee Nils Pohlmann sports his Team Korey jersey at the New York City Marathon a few years ago. Courtesy photo the opportunity for more children living with these life-altering conditions to attend Camp Korey. Last year, Team Korey members, along with thousands of other runners, were unable to participate in the New York City Marathon due to the cancellation caused by Hurricane Sandy. However, the team chose to help organize a small race in Central Park to give those who had trained for months an opportunity to

run. To date, Team Korey has raised nearly $145,000 toward this year’s goal of $180,000 before race day. Supporters can help the team reach their goal and provide the Camp Korey experience to more children in the Northwest by donating at www.campkorey. org/teamkorey/nyc. Funds raised will help Camp Korey serve more than 3,000 children, at no cost to their families, this year alone.

Checking in with Gov. Inslee at roundtable discussion Gov. Jay Inslee appreciates our newspaper and the rest of the products in our Sound Publishing family. While sitting in the Bellevue Reporter conference room last Friday, surrounded by a group of our editors and reporters, Inslee remarked: “It’s great to see the success of this industry in local communities.” While we’ve got our plates full each day covering the local news, Inslee is, of course, an ultra busy man, as well. The governor is whisked from place to place in a black SUV, which pulled into the Bellevue Reporter parking lot with Inslee’s wife, Trudi, and members of his team inside. After about 45 minutes with us, he bolted off to another meeting. During our visit, we learned that Inslee is still trying to find his own success with an approved transportation bill, which he’d like to see crafted through a bipartisan effort by November come Apple Cup time. Inslee noted that he wanted the bill on his desk in April or May — so time is of the essence with the bill, which would be ideal in identifying $10 billion in revenue sources needed to keep the state’s roads and bridges from failing. Not just the big bridges, he stressed, but the smaller structures, which are important to our communities. There are many bridges in our state that need fixing: “This is a good chance for Republicans and Democrats to work together. There are no Republican bridges. No Democratic bridges. They are Washington bridges.” “It’s not a pretty picture,” he added about bridge danger. “I’ve seen a bridge at the bottom of the river.” (He was discussing the Interstate 5 Skagit River Bridge, which was struck by an over-height truck on May 23 and was also listed as being functionally obsolete.) Inslee also discussed how King County bus service will take a hit if the transportation bill doesn’t come his way soon. Andy Nystrom

OPINION

[4] November 1, 2013

Gov. Jay Inslee talks to members of Sound Publishing at an editorial board meeting on Oct. 25 in Bellevue. From left, Charles Knutson, Gov. Inslee’s senior policy adviser on transportation; Gov. Inslee; Trudi Inslee, Gov. Inslee’s wife. CRAIG GROSHART, Reporter Newspapers “Everyone’s going to suffer here in the next couple of years if we don’t get the transportation package this year,” he said. “The first thing that’s going to hit them between the eyes is the elimination of bus service.” It will have an economic toll on the state, he noted. Using Microsoft workers as an example, he added that those people who normally take the bus will now be driving on the road, stuck in traffic and showing up to work later. Companies might not set up shop here because of increased congestion — “It

takes economic productivity out of the state,” he said. One way to approve the transportation plan and close its funding gap would be to close tax loopholes, such as a tax exemption approved for the timber industry that is also being utilized by oil and gas companies. It was a lot of information to take in during that 45-minute session with the governor. We’ll see how it goes, put our trust in him and those he’s working with and we’re crossing our fingers for a positive result.

Congress should represent us, not themselves Once again, Mr. Stevor Compton’s letter about Michael Costello’s opinion of Obamacare demonstrated that if one doesn’t agree with the opinion of a Liberal, excuse me, I mean “Progressive,” then that opposing opinion is WRONG. If Fox News Channel is an entertainment channel, then CNN is nothing more than the voice of the White House and the Liberal minions thereof. CNN continually sings the praises of the current administration, its policies and decisions, with hardly ever a dissenting view. Is that “fair and balanced” journalism? I think not. Mr. Compton refers to us on the conservative

side of the aisle as “...knuckle draggers....” I remember in ninth grade civics class studying Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital,” wherein one of the directives of communism is to, “...attack the person, not the issue...” if faced with an opposing view. I suggest both sides refrain from name calling, as it’s a cheap trick and only demonstrates the level of immaturity, the degree of misinformation and the fact that there is no other intelligent response to an opposing view. Lastly, no, we don’t want “to go back to the days of debtors prisons.” What we, those who are sick and tired of being tapped for everyone else’s bills and entitlements want, is for the Congress to get their act together, develop and approve a realistic budget (and stick to it) and stop arguing and do what they were elected to do: represent

us, not themselves!

Speaking out on Obamacare, Part 2 On Monday, we learned what many Americans have believed for three years since Obamacare was forced into law by Democrats. We learned that President Obama has LIED to the faces of every American about their ability to keep their doctor and their insurance. Of all places, Obama-friendly NBC reported that the administration has known for three years that as many as 85 percent of individually insured Americans will lose their plans and their [ more LETTERS page 5]

doctors. Yes, while Obama has been on his perpetual campaign circuit saying otherwise, the Department of Health and Human Services illegally changed the Affordable Care Act to remove the grandfathering of previously provided health care plans, and the White House knew it three years ago. No, you will NOT be able to keep your doctor. No, you will NOT be able to keep your insurance plan. Yes, Barack Obama has been LYING to you for three years. It’s bad enough that Obama has unconstitutionally changed the law unilaterally more than a dozen times. He’s granted more than 2,500 waivers to friends and cronies to keep them quiet during the ridiculous implementation window. He’s blown a billion dollars on a website that doesn’t work. And yes, he ordered the changes in the website that require subscribers to provide every bit of their personal information BEFORE they can even see plan options and flee in sticker shock. Yes, the administration knew that Medicaid enrollments and the subsequent government dependency would result. But this latest revelation is over the top. From the first days of his path to Single Payer government run health care, otherwise known as Socialized Medicine, he has LIED to more than 300 million Americans about their ability to retain their current plans. He’s LIED about your ability to keep your doctor if you like him or her. He LIED to sell you his Marxist vision for health care in the hopes you’d go along because you felt safe it wouldn’t impact you. Today we’ve learned that as many as 16 million of the 19 million privately insured Americans in the United States are going to lose their plans and their doctors. As employers drop employer-provided care, and

we’re seeing that happening already, that number is going to explode if Obamacare is not repealed. So what are you going to do to stop it? What are you going to do to save your own life from the consequences of rationing and bureaucratic death panels operating without any competition? This is not politics. Yes, your life is at stake.

Michael Costello, Redmond

Government shutdown was misnomer designed to incite public I’m writing in response to your recent editorial. I am so tired of hearing about how the “government shutdown,” which was a complete misnomer, falls solely on the shoulders of “some House Republicans.” This is simply untrue, and is an appeal to emotion about an issue that is more complex. Firstly, these representatives are doing the job they were elected to do. More than a third of Americans, and up to 75 percent of the people in these Congressmens’ districts are opposed to the Affordable Care Act. They are expected to fight against legislation that their constituents oppose. That is their job. Secondly, even once a bill is passed and signed into law, Congress has the responsibility of approving funding for each and every department and program that the government is responsible for. If the budget cannot support a program, regardless of its passage, Congress has every right — and it is their obligation — not to fund it. Finally, the very term “shutdown” was a misnomer designed to incite the public. Government remained more than 80 percent funded this entire time. All essential

services were funded, just as they always have been. The effects of suspending government services were purposefully made to seem worse than they really were (barricading non-staffed memorials, for example). Republicans submitted multiple proposals that would put furloughed employees back to work, but Democrats rebuked them time and again, presumably to extend the public’s hardship and enable more finger pointing. The United States is already trillions of dollars in debt and accrued an additional deficit of nearly $350 billion in the first quarter of this year alone. The Affordable Care Act has its heart in the right place, but it is a costly, illconceived program that the public does not want and the country cannot afford. The people fighting it in Congress are doing the right thing. If only they would fight every new, unnecessary government program with such fervor.

How will Sen. Hill fare in the next election? The 45th Legislative District’s Republican Sen. Andy Hill is busy trying to thickly coat what has been a failed four years of elected service with sugar. In a letter published in the Redmond, Issaquah-Sammamish and Kirkland reporters, Hill made his pitch to constituents for why he should be elected next year to a second term as state senator. The purpose of his pitch, which was short on facts and heavy on catch phrases, is understandable: on their face, the shortcomings of his first term won’t likely win him many voters next time around. In his letter, Hill touts his involvement in the coup led by the turncoat Rodney Tom that established the misleadingly titled

November 1, 2013 [5] “Majority Coalition.” By jumping party lines from Democrat to Republican, Tom got a bigger office and Hill became chair of the Senate Ways & Means Committee. For a first-term senator who will be seeking re-election next year, it was understandable that Hill would be appointed to such a visible role. Unfortunately, Hill failed to do the position justice. Over the course of the budget process, Hill and his Republican buddies held the process hostage. In an effort to ride the wave of a national conversation about “spending cuts” and a Tea Party conservative agenda, Hill helped force a special session, a “fiscal cliff ” and a near government shutdown here in Washington state. In fact, the “Majority Coalition” was not a bipartisan tool used to solve many problems with our state. Rather, the coalition, of which Hill is a major player, actually brought the divisive politics that we see in the other Washington to our state. For example, in his role as chair of the Senate Ways & Means Committee, writing the Senate’s budget fell to Hill. The initial proposed budget presented by Hill and his allies relied on budget gimmicks and was balanced on the backs of our most vulnerable: the proposed budget included brutal policies that slashed child care for hardworking single mothers, cut aid for 20,000 blind and disabled, permanently slashed the voter approved initiative that would pay teachers a fair wage, and actually created 15 new tax exemptions. Hill’s proposed budget also swiped $166 million of the Common School Construction Fund for the operating budget; a fund that our state’s constitution not only dictates must go toward school construction, but which was already spent earlier this year. The proposed budget also permanently removed money from the Public Works [ more letters page 6 ]

Food Lifeline – Brings Hope to the Table Now and Throughout the Year M

ost of us take eating for granted. In fact, for many people, getting enough to eat is not the problem, getting too much is. It may be surprising to learn that there are over a half-million people right here in Western Washington who don’t get enough to eat on a daily basis. For children and adults living in or close to poverty, securing good, healthful food can be a real problem. That’s why Food Lifeline is so important to the Northwest. This efficient, non-profit organization is dedicated to helping end hunger in Western Washington. Food Lifeline works hard to make every bit of donated food and cash count. In 2012, Food Lifeline distributed over 36 million pounds of food, the equivalent of over 30 million meals. 95% of the food that Food Lifeline distributes is donated. Three of the programs that handle these donations are Seattle’s Table Program which is supplied by local restaurants and caterers who contribute prepared food, Produce for the People that collects fresh produce from wholesalers and retailers, and the Grocery Rescue Program that

collects products such as meat, dairy, fresh produce and baked goods from local grocery retailers. QFC participates in the Grocery Rescue Program year-round. QFC is proud to support Food Lifeline as our Charity of the Month in November and December. Through our “Bringing Hope to the Table” campaign we will be helping collect both food and cash donations that will assist in feeding thousands of hungry people during the cold winter months of the holiday season and for many months thereafter. Each year, QFC’s Bringing Hope to the Table campaign plays a crucial role in making sure that Food Lifeline has food items and assets to distribute food to hungry people through its many food banks, meal programs and its shelter network. There are many ways in which QFC customers can help support Bringing Hope to the Table. One way is to buy a pre-made bag of groceries for $10. These bags contain dry-good grocery items that Food Lifeline says its clients often request. You can also purchase food bank recommended items

and donate those in our donation bins. There will be items throughout the store marked with special tags to make it easy to know what to purchase and donate. QFC will also have $1 and $5 donation cards available at the checkstand as well as $10 virtual bag donation cards. Just hand the card to your checker and your donation

will be added to your order. The virtual bag donations get tallied and delivered to Food Lifeline as full cases of product. You can also donate your spare change into change jars available at your checkstand. Thank you for supporting QFC and Food Lifeline to help feed the hungry during the holiday season and beyond.

Assistance Account that creates jobs by building community projects on which local governments depend. When Hill was presented with an alternative budget that made a substantial down payment toward what the Supreme Court deemed necessary to meet the paramount duty to our school children, Hill and his Republican coalition chose to protect corporate giveaways and tax loopholes. The final budget only closed two loopholes: it corrected a court decision that created a loophole in the estate tax and it included an update to a telecommunications tax, which was a tax to which every company in the industry agreed.

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. rial board detailed how this is not a stable solution in the long-run calling the solution “unrealistic” within our existing tax code and called for the legislature to take a hard look at “the state’s swiss-cheese tax code and target unjustified exemptions.” Hill may be pleading for forgiveness now, as his election year draws near, but there is no sign that any of his divisive politics would be any better during a second term. And even if voters might swallow Hill’s pill and forgive his attempts to shortchange his constituents now, voters certainly will not forget next year when ballots drop.

Discarded bikes get new homes and help change people’s lives Within the walls of the Redmond Police Department (RPD) is a room, filled with a variety of found items ranging from unopened packages of socks and undergarments to shoes, backpacks and purses. These things take up space within the room but the items that usually occupy the most space are the bicycles. While the number of bikes the department receives varies throughout the year, evidence technician Jennifer Assaker said they average about one bike per week. “It’s probably more than people think,” she said about how many the RPD receives. The bikes are found in various locations including residential neighborhoods, parks and trails — typically in bushes, said Assaker. “They usually look like they’ve been dumped,” she said. If a bike they come across is rusted and doesn’t look usable, Assaker said they will contact the city’s Public Works Department for a pickup. However, if the bike and/ or its various parts are in decent shape, it will go in to the evidence room — where it stays a minimum of 60 days. After that, Assaker said she will donate them to either Bicycles for Humanity Seattle (B4HS) or the ARAS (Acceptance, Respect, Affection and Support) Foundation. She donates two or three times a year to the organizations, with anywhere from 15-20 bikes in one drop. The donated bikes (or just working parts) are eventually shipped to various villages in Africa. According to its web-

site, B4HS focuses its efforts on South Africa. Mary Trask, community service director for ARAS, said they work with Village Bicycle Project (VBP) in Seattle, which sends the bikes to Ghana and Sierra Leone. Meg Watson, operations director for VBP said they collect the unwanted bikes from various countries. “They come from all over the USA,” she said. “They come from Canada; they come from the UK.” Watson, who started with VBP in 2006 as a volunteer, said they work with a number of bicycle advocacy groups throughout the world. These groups’ goals include keeping bikes out of the waste stream. Throughout the year, VBP ships more than 20 containers with about 475 bikes (more if there are smaller children’s bikes included). Of those 20plus containers, Watson said three or four usually come from bikes donated through Pacific Northwest-based organizations such as ARAS. Rather than giving people the bikes for free, Watson said VBP holds free one-day bike repair workshops for local groups in Ghana and Sierra Leone to teach people how to fix the bikes. Those who attend the workshops are then able to purchase a bike at a 75 percent discount off the retail price. Watson said they use this model because if someone receives a bike for free and it needs some sort of repair, the person is more likely to stop using it because they didn’t have to pay for it. If the person has to pay for the bike, she said, it becomes an item of value for them.

In addition, they will also know how to fix the bike after attending the workshop. Watson said VBP also has a “bike library” program in which they lend bikes to school girls who have to walk eight or more miles to and from school. The girls are able to use the bikes for a year and since VBP lends them out, the girls’ families can’t take them away or get rid of them. VBP also has bikes available for boys, but the library program is specific for girls as they are not as prominent in bike culture and least likely to go to school and more likely to have to stay home to help out and do chores, Watson said. She said having a bike in Africa can be life changing: Students can get to school — which may be as many as 10 miles away from their village — faster; health care providers can travel to more villages more efficiently; farmers can get to their farms faster and be more productive and merchants and vendors can carry and sell more of their wares to more locations. For Assaker, being able to donate the bikes to a worthy cause is a “fantastic feeling” as they have historically been the source of problems for the police department. “(Bikes are) not easy to deal with,” she said, referring to their size and penchant for taking up space. “They are the bane of the police department.” She said she is happy that they will receive a second life and provide transportation for other communities through the two nonprofits’ efforts. “I feel strongly that we’re doing something for the greater good,” Assaker said.

outdoor living. In a Reporter story last February when the camp was at St. Jude Parish in Redmond, one resident noted that they accept extra blankets from community members. Steven Roach lives on Northeast 113th Court on one side of Redwood Family Church. He didn’t have any problems with the encampment sitting near his home of 30 years. “It was no big deal. They’ve got to go somewhere. They need some type of support system when they have problems. I support it,” said Roach, who added that Tent City 4 residents used the bus stop near his home and picked up after themselves. Puckett and Redmond Police Department (RPD) neighborhood resource officer Julie Beard said that one issue arose on the first day, when a neighbor called 911 to complain that some of the residents’ tents were placed too close to his property line, which border the church’s yard. Beard’s partner, David Sowers, visited the church after the 8:45 p.m. call and mediated the situation. The Tent City 4 permit showed that the tents needed to be moved back from the neighbor’s fence and the residents complied. “If you take any community where 100 people without homes are in their back yard, there’s going to be some issues,” said Puckett, adding that Tent City 4 was probably 99 percent well-received by the community.

Seattle Housing and Resources Effort (SHARE) and Women’s Housing Equality and Enhancement League (WHEEL) sponsor Tent City 4, which is a self-operated and self-governed, democratic society. Beard noted that Tent City 4 leaders often call the police when they have problems with their own residents. She said there were eight arrests for disorderly conduct, domestic violence, possession of drug paraphernalia, stolen property and outstanding warrants at the encampment. In addition, there were 11 911 calls for warrant service or fugitive arrest; nine calls for disturbances, assaults and intoxicated or disruptive residents; two medical or welfare checks; two trespass calls; one firearm found; and other miscellaneous calls for service. Tent City 4 residents are subject to a criminalbackground check and sexoffender check, and Beard said RPD didn’t receive any calls for registered sex offenders. Despite the problems, Puckett said “our church was honestly sad they were leaving.” He added they’ll have Tent City 4 back anytime. Beard said RPD has a good relationship with Tent City 4 staffers and Sowers stopped by often to check up on things. “It serves a lot of people who otherwise would not have a place to stay,” Beard said. “We are appreciative of the Tent City residents and staff in that they work hard to communicate with us.”

traffic speeds and volumes and pedestrian crossings. To address these issues, Thomson said one of the things the city is looking to do is re-stripe the lanes from four to three — one in each direction and a center turning lane. In addition, they would add a bicycle lane in each direction. Thomson said the city has completed similar projects in six other areas throughout Redmond. Among the reasons the city is looking to make changes is collisions occurring along the street. Thomson said one of the main types of collisions they have seen is the right-angle or perpendicular collision at Northeast 85th Street. She said cars traveling down the hill looking to turn right would collide with cars traveling up the hill looking to turn left. Another common collision comes at the top of the hill at Northeast 95th Street. Thomson said cars trying to get on to 166th Avenue Northeast would creep out and stick out too far because of limited visibility. “People are struggling to wait for a gap,” she said. The city held a public meeting for the community about the rechannelization project on Monday. The meeting consisted of a short open house period with information boards for people to look at, a presentation and a question-and-answer session for meeting goers. Anne Marie Peacock, com-

munications specialist for Redmond, said the meeting was attended by people who supported and opposed the project. She said the bulk of concerns that were brought up have been addressed or will be. “We are following up with folks,” Peacock said. Abigail Welborn, who has lived in the northernmost end of 166th Avenue Northeast near Norman Rockwell Elementary School since 2009 is opposed to the project. She said having only one lane in each direction will slow down her drive. She and her husband have to commute during rush hour, which means 164th Avenue Northeast and Avondale Way are congested. “That leaves 166th as the only fast option,” Welborn said. As she only uses the street for commuting, Welborn said her only concern is being able to pass slowmoving vehicles, though she understands that others who either walk along the street or have to turn onto it will have different concerns. “I would like to see Redmond take commuters into account,” she said about the project. “If they want 166th to be more of a neighborhood street with medians, crosswalks and slower traffic, I’m actually fine with that, but then they need to figure out how to make Avondale and 164th faster for those of us that have to commute.”

Redmond native takes students around the world

Simpkins’ students create art inspired by the countries they visit As an associate art professor at Elon University in North Carolina, Anne Simpkins is not new to traveling to other countries with students. She has taught fine arts in study abroad programs in London and Italy for many years but this year, the Redmond native is adding a few more stamps to her passport. Through the Semester at Sea (SAS) program at the University of Virginia (UVa), Simpkins and her students have been traveling since August, visiting countries in Europe, Africa and South America. “It sounded like a terrific way to see many parts of the world and to take my two daughters with me while traveling and teaching,” she said about why she applied to teach with SAS. “Elon University graciously gave me a leave of absence for this term.”

FROM REDMOND TO BEYOND

Although she currently

lives in Burlington, N.C., Simpkins grew up in Redmond. She attended Redmond Elementary, Rose Hill Junior High and Lake Washington High schools, graduating in 1978. Her family still lives in the area. This term, SAS is taking place on the MV Explorer — a large cruise-style ship with a shipboard community of 580 students and 120 faculty and university staff on board. The ship is scheduled to visit 17 cities in 15 countries in the span of 115 days. Students come from schools all over the United States as well as a few international schools to participate in the four-month program, which ends in mid-December. The program has completed its travels through Europe, which included stops in Germany, Belgium, Ireland and Spain. After that, Simpkins said they headed to Africa, with visits in Ghana and Namibia, before going to South Africa. “(On) Nov. 1 we will cross the Atlantic and come up the coast of South America (vis-

iting Argentina and Brazil),” she said. “Our last international port will be Cuba.” Oct. 22 marked the 50th anniversary of SAS’s first voyage. Back then, the program was called the University of the Seven Seas. Lauren Judge, director of public affairs for SAS, said one of the program’s founders, C.Y. Tung, had the vision that ships could carry more than cargo, they could carry ideas.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE

Simpkins teaches two sections through SAS: Painting at Sea and Mixed Media Visual Journal. “Each class group has about 18 students,” she said. “We meet whenever the ship is not in port.” Simpkins said her mixed media course combines journal writing with sketches, collage and paint, to create student journals. The students try out various media options or experiment with a writing prompt. They also have short assignments in port such as having locals

to tell them a traditional story. Students then create a journal page that illustrates and includes portions (or all) of the story text. “Class time is short,” Simpkins said. “There are not a lot of places to work on art projects on the ship. But my students are still making art… Art classes direct students to respond to visual culture. My students and I create artworks that are inspired by the countries we visit.” Simpkins and her students create art based on themes such as food, clothing, customs, shipboard life and traditional narratives or history. She added that in holding class on a ship may lead to interruptions due to heavy seas, seasickness or a whale sighting. However, Simpkins said, “travel brings a rich mix of experiences and subjects from which to make art.” She said travel broadens the educational experience to understanding not just a home country but also the diverse cultures of the world. Judge said the program is open to students of all

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCES

Students and faculty with SAS are generally free to explore each port and travel

inland or participate in program tours or projects. While in Ghana, Simpkins was part of a group that traveled to the small town of Winneba to distribute books to the local schoolchildren. “The schools we visited had almost no books…They had no electricity or running water,” she said. “Class size was about 40 kids a room. Desks were a plank 12 inches deep, set on a small stand. Desks were shared by three kids.” Simpkins said her two middle school-aged daughters traveling with her were popular among the Ghanaian students as they read to the other children, told stories about their travels and shared what it is like to attend school in the United States. While teaching and learning at sea offers a rare opportunity for participants, Simpkins said it does have its challenges. “Our biggest challenge is contact with the world,” she said. “Internet works very sporadically. Cell phones work but are very expensive.”

majors and emphasizes “comparative academic examination, hands-on field experiences and meaningful engagement in the global community.” The program offers coursework from 20-25 disciplines, which is integrated with relevant field studies in up to a dozen countries. “The University of Virginia is the program’s academic sponsor, which means that all courses on board the ship are accredited by UVa, and credit earned is transferable to a student’s home institution,” she said. While UVa is the academic sponsor, Judge said faculty, staff and students from institutions worldwide apply to be part of the program. The program’s fall 2013 students represent 20 different countries from around the world and students from 250-300 colleges in the United States and the world participate each term.

Planting interpretive signs at farm redmond clinic w e th in k about you

On Oct. 25, students from Environmental and Adventure School in Kirkland planted 42 interpretive signs at Keep It Simple (KIS) Farm in Redmond. The signs describe the native plants and wildlife along the site’s 0.3-mile trail. EAS students have developed the trail and have a seven-year history of developing the property for community use and enjoyment. Math and science teacher Brian Healy led the group, saying the sign planting is one of the school’s community stewardship projects (CSP), which students participate in three times a year. Other CSPs include working with the City of Kirkland’s parks department and mentoring elementary school students. samantha pak, Redmond Reporter

Learning a second language is a bonus for children

The importance of early intervention By Brock’s Academy Staff Special to the Reporter

It’s that time already: some of you may have students who are bringing home their first progress reports of the school year. Are you and your child satisfied with the results? Although we’re only threefourths of the way through, this first evaluation may set the tone for the rest of the school year. Now is a critical time to step in and help your •

But how do these brain changes affect the child? We know that children who are exposed to language early recognize and produce sounds like native speakers. As we get older, this gets more difficult. That is why it helps to start young. A recent University of Oregon study shows that students who start learning in elementary school are 70 percent more likely to reach competency than those

who start in high school. Other cognitive benefits show up in academic tests. Children who have studied a foreign language scored higher on testing in math and social studies, and even on SATs! Aside from the cognitive and academic benefits, learning a second language changes a child’s approach to interacting with people from around the world. They grow up embrac-

ing other languages and cultures. They aren’t intimidated by someone who speaks or acts differently. They have the confidence and willingness to understand and appreciate other people and cultures. They are compassionate global citizens, and we need more of them. Jackie Friedman Mighdoll is the founder of Sponge (www.spongeschool.com), a leader

child change gears if things are not going as smoothly as you had hoped. Early intervention is the key to assuring academic success for all learners. By early, we mean as soon as a problem presents itself whether they are in preschool, fourth grade, eighth grade or are a senior in high school; anytime they may not be meeting the normal academic/learning milestones. This intervention may be necessary during any given time in a child’s academic journey, pay close attention in order to be able to recognize when changes occur. In addition to academics, social and emotional struggles also determine how successful the school

year will be for your child. Do they look forward to going to school every day, are they making friends, do they appear stressed or anxious? Talk to your children about their feelings regarding school and their peers, and really listen to their responses. If you see signs

that your child is struggling, please do not wait to address the issues. Start a conversation with your school or outside experts immediately, and keep what could be a small bump in the road from turning into a larger problem; again, early intervention is the key.

Two-and-a half-year-old William is already well on his way to being a world citizen! He and his parents have been taking Mandarin classes since he was just a few months old —learning together. From the outside, having fun is what it’s all about. We know, though, that while he’s playing, there’s a lot going on in his

brain. In the first four years of life, a child’s brain is focused on language acquisition — first on sounds, then grammar and then vocabulary. The brain forms neural pathways in response to the language it encounters. Studies show that even limited exposure to a second language before the age of one makes a difference in the development of those neural pathways.

community raised a gross total of $57,133. This number surpassed the school’s goal to raise $40,000. From the gross total, the school receives 65 percent, bringing the net total to $37,136.45. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Spray said about the school’s efforts. With a focus on fundraising teams (each classroom is a team) with prizes for top teams, he said it encourages healthy competition among students and gets them excited to help their school. “It’s a strong community being built here at Alcott,” he added. About 80 percent of the school participated in the fundraiser. In addition to getting students involved in the fundraising, Orange Ruler’s online donation drive format — there is no door-to-door work — also minimizes the work for volunteers and doesn’t cut into teachers’ classroom time too much. This is the first year the school has fundraised through Orange Ruler,

Chris Eastwood of the Orange Ruler fundraising program offers high fives to students at Louisa May Alcott Elementary School during a fun run last week. The fundraiser brought in more than $57,000. Courtesy photo and instructional assistant Betsy Metzger said while it may not have brought in the most money the school has ever seen — one year, the school raised about $60,000 to renovate the playground — it definitely raised the most funds for the amount of effort required. “This (fundraiser) had the most per capita contribution,” she said. Metzger has been part of the Alcott community for 16 years, both as a PTSA member whose four children went through

the school as well as a member of the staff. She said students enjoyed it because of the prizes as well as the fitness element (Orange Ruler puts on a fun run as part of the program) and teachers liked it because it was simple. “It involved the whole school,” Metzger said. “The whole school got behind this one.” She added that they are lucky to have such a caring community and the funds will go toward something that will benefit everyone.

Alcott PTSA President Erika Winters said the school has done more traditional fundraisers such as auctions, but those take a lot of effort from volunteers. In addition, time is not taken away from the classroom for students to create projects for the auction. Spray, who is in his fifth year at Alcott, agreed, saying the difference between Orange Ruler and previous fundraisers is like night and day. He said it is a matter of 50 volunteer hours, versus 1,000.

Bear Creek’s Osborn honored

Trinity Osborn, middle school and upper school fine arts teacher at The Bear Creek School, was nominated by her peers and

selected as the recipient of the Washington ART Education Association (WAEA) 2013 Distinguished Service Award. This award was presented to Osborn during the annual WAEA convention’s evening dinner and awards ceremony on Oct. 26 at Glacier Peak High School. These annual awards are WAEA’s way of recognizing outstanding professionalism, service, promotion and support of the visual arts by individual art educators in the state. In addition, Rob Sorensen, upper school history teacher, was one of only two high school teachers among college professors presenting a paper recently at the Kuyers Institute at Calvin College. His paper, titled “Virtues at the Table: Harkness Pedagogy and Christian Education,” was very well received by the academic community at Calvin. Sorensen applies the Harkness method as one pedagogical tool in the classroom at Bear Creek, where his students sit at seminar tables instead of traditional desks thereby increasing student engagement.

Relay For Life of Redmond/Kirkland needs volunteers The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is seeking volunteers in Redmond and Kirkland — walkers, cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference — to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2014 event. Relay For Life is held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at Redmond High School with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track at all times throughout the evening. The event goes all night to symbolize a cancer

patient’s fight against the disease. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during relay. Relay For Life brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faithbased groups — people from all walks of life — all aimed at celebrating the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost and fighting back against the disease. The 2013 Relay For Life of Redmond/Kirkland had more than 350 participants on 33 teams and raised more than $104,000. “Relay For Life is all about our community

CITY OF REDMOND RECEIVES AWARD

The Washington Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) and the Planning Association of Washington (PAW) awarded the City of Redmond for outstanding contributions to the field of planning in the implementation category for the city’s Digital Planning and Development Suite. One awards committee member commented: “This was clearly a massive undertaking by the city with the goal of making it easier for citizens and customers.” The suite consists of Redmond’s digital Comprehensive Plan, E-Zoning Code and Property Viewer and E-Track online permit portal. It provides a new level of transparency and access to planning and development information for all customers. This is the third award presented to the City of Redmond this year for the Digital Planning and Development Suite. The first, given in April, was a VISION 2040 Award from the Puget Sound Regional Council and the second, in June, was from the Washington State Department

of Commerce and presented a Judge’s Merit Award in the Governor’s Smart Communities Awards. “We’re very honored to have received this award,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “This was a citywide effort involving multiple city departments and I’m pleased their hard work has been recognized.” Now in its 27th year, the APA and PAW Joint Awards Program brings public attention and deserved recognition to public and private sector planning efforts, as well as student projects in university planning programs. All of Digital Planning and Development Suite tools are accessible on the city’s website at www.redmond.gov.

FAMILY DEVASTATED! PLEASE HELP! Our loved one (Mac) died May 6th of this year. He was an auctioneer and an Antique buyer/seller, in the north Seattle area. Mackenzie had an antique store located in ‘Perrineville’ (Lynnwood/ Edmonds) It is believed (He hads lists and pictures) he (Mac) had been able to retr ieve s o m e o f O U R fa m i l y heirlooms from his public storage locker/s before his passing. He had them stored safely in his ‘store’ as well as in his van. Some of the most important and treasured heirlooms were ‘saved’ and set aside. However, the owner of the property misappropriated ALL of his stuff. Took out an ad on craigslist (May 10th) and sold a lot of it, weeks BEFORE the family was notified.

We are willing to take a look at your ‘bargain find”, and possibly buy it back from you. (We have specific items listed and don’t want anything that does not belong to our family.) We are completely deva s t a t e d t h a t o u r, o u r mothers & grandmothers stuff was sold. It has been very sad losing our beloved, as well as things that can NEVER be replaced. Some of the items we are looking for: His 1964 Pachinko machine (Dad bought it for him) Moms 1850’5 Victorian sofa. (sea foam green upholstery) Male a n d fe m a l e E g y p t i a n lamps.(Black and sea foam green) 1970’s nursery rhyme books (Dedicated to us) Oil paintings, China, Grandmas Sun bonnet & blanket, 1960’s Hawaii memorab i l i a .
