‘Odysseo’ rides into Marymoor
Levies increase leads, bond closes gap slightly STAFF REPORT
The second round of results for the Lake Washington School District’s (LWSD) special election were released Wednesday, with both levies increasing their leads and the bond approval on Prop 3 inching closer to a 60 percent passage. According to King County Elections, Prop 3 has increased its approval percentage to 57.53, nearly a full percentage point from the first results released on Tuesday night. The yes vote total has increased to 16,079 votes. The measure needs 60
percent approval to pass. “We are very happy about the strong levy results, which reflect our community’s support for our schools,” said Kathryn Reith, communications director for LWSD. “It is still possible for the bond to pass and we remain hopeful. We will continue to watch those returns until the results are finalized.” The bond measure would allow the district to continue with its modernization program with funds going toward replacing aging schools throughout the district.

Cavalia rounds up its horses and is set to unleash local shows starting on Wednesday SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Two years ago, “Cavalia” came to town for a run of sold out shows at King County’s Marymoor Park just outside of Redmond. Based on this success, creators decided they should make the area one of the first tour stops for the company’s second show, “Odysseo.” “We knew we had to come back here,” said Duncan Fisher, vice president of operations for the show. And that is just what they did. The $30 million theatrical production’s
opening night under the White Big Top at Marymoor Park at 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkwy N.E. will be Wednesday with performances scheduled through March 9. There will be both matinee and evening performances and tickets are priced from $34.50-149.50, plus applicable taxes and fees. The RendezVous package offers the best seats in the house, buffet-dining before the show, open bar, desserts during intermission and an exclusive visit of the stable after the show. This experience takes place in a tent alongside the
White Big Top. Rendez-Vous package prices range from $154.50-229.50, plus applicable taxes and fees.
A DIFFERENT EQUESTRIAN SHOW
Although the show features equestrian arts, stage arts and hightech theatrical effects like “Cavalia,” creator Normand Latourelle said that is where the similarities end. He said even if people have seen “Cavalia,” they will still enjoy “Odysseo” because it is so different. “It’s a different world,” he said. “It’s totally different in every aspect of it.” The production’s set is twice the size of “Cavalia” and follows a journey with horses and humans as they travel all around the world. Latourelle said the show’s settings range from [ more ‘ODYSSEO’ page 8 ]

Cleveland Streetscape brings frustrations as community thinks of long-term benefits SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Construction on the Cleveland Streetscape project started in downtown Redmond earlier this month and while it’s only been a few weeks, many businesses nearby are already feeling — and hearing — the effects. Cleveland Street between 161st Avenue Northeast and Leary Way was closed earlier this week as crews installed an underground water line and did electrical work and as a result, some local businesses experienced a
slight dip in foot traffic.
ROAD CLOSURES AND CONFUSIONS
Rudy’s Barbershop, located at 16095 Cleveland St. just west of where the road closure begins, has been mildly affected, said manager Heidi Vlist. “We’ve noticed a slight difference,” she said, adding that they still do steady business on the weekends when there is no construction and the streets are open again. Vlist said they have also received calls from customers asking whether [ more STREET page 7 ]

Hearing, trial moved for former Microsoft program manager charged with rape Staff Report
An omnibus hearing was moved from Feb. 7 to March 14 for Vineet Kumar Srivastava, who was charged with seconddegree rape of a Microsoft Corp. janitor last July, according to a press secretary for the King County
Prosecuting Attorney Office. The King County Superior Court has also moved the trial from March 5 to April 7. The 36-year-old former Microsoft senior program manager was arraigned on Aug. 14 and entered a not-guilty plea to the
charges. He’s out of custody after posting bond in July. An omnibus hearing is a criminal pre-trial hearing. Typically, disclosure of evidentiary matters, procedural and constitutional issues are attempted to be resolved, according to USLegal.com.

At the most volatile time in an abusive relationship, offenders will be required to surrender firearms.

STAFF REPORT
Theft: The victim from the 8700 block of 161st Avenue Northeast on Education Hill reported that his credit cards were taken from his wallet as he exercised inside of a gym at 9:05 a.m. The credit cards were used to make two large purchases at a popular retail store.
House bill passes to save the lives of domestic violence victims In a 97-0 vote on Wednesday in Olympia, the Washington State Legislature House of Representatives passed HB 1840, likely the only gun safety bill to come out of the legislature this year. For years, advocates for victims and survivors of domestic violence have called for laws to remove firearms from domestic violence offenders. More than half of the homicide victims in this country are women killed at the hands of their intimate partners, usually with a firearm. Rep. Roger Goodman, on the bill’s passage said, “There are too many

Study drugs and your teen It has been hard to miss all the attention being given to the legalization of marijuana for adults — even in Super Bowl coverage! Many adults are understandably concerned about the increased availability of pot and its effect on our kids. Less, however, is being said about a very real and alarming youth drug trend: the increased use of amphetamines. Commonly known as meth, speed, Ecstasy or coke, amphetamines stimulate the central nervous system. For years, TV and movies have portrayed how young adults use these drugs to pull all-nighters before exams or to party all night long. But did you know that growing numbers of children and teens are abusing legal amphetamines such as Adderall and Ritalin, used widely to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Clients at Youth Eastside Services (YES) say they are taking these drugs not necessarily to get high, but often simply to get through their day. And what a day it is! Consider a student who gets up at five in the morning to go to early sports practice, followed by a demanding day at school and a swim meet at a neighboring school. She crams in some studying in the car after her dad picks her up. She eats a late supper and then heads to her room to finish her term paper and study for a physics exam — all the while texting with several friends. It’s after midnight before she collapses into a restless sleep, because she’s thinking about her part-time job, youth symphony, church youth group and the family ski trip coming up. It’s no surprise that such a teen resorts to stimulants just to keep her head above water. Staying up late by taking “study drugs” often begins with highly advertised — and ridiculously caffeinated — energy drinks like Red Bull or 5-HourEnergy. When these readily available stimulants no longer make the grade, some youth step up to prescription drugs. At YES, we repeatedly hear that our clients buy Adderall or Ritalin from their friends who have legitimate prescriptions (to manage ADD or ADHD). Some kids either don’t want to take their medication or would rather have the money. Simply put, school has become “the place” to score easy speed. When a child takes another student’s prescription, the risk of overdose is high (obviously, there Patti Skelton-McGougan

are no recommended dosages or pharmacist’s instructions). Unfortunately, kids assume that since the drugs are legal and their friends are supposed to take them every day, the pills won’t be harmful. Another source of prescription stimulants may be in your own medicine cabinet. Teens have learned that antidepressants and Sudafed (or other cold medications including pseudoephedrine) can help with an all-nighter. I’ve suggested it before in this column, and I cannot stress enough, that you need to keep all prescription medicines in a locked cabinet or box whenever you have children in your home. “I take what I need to stay awake” is something we often hear at YES. Many young people connect their substance use to the growing pressure to succeed. The expectations placed on youth these days are truly unprecedented. We encourage our kids from a young age to excel in school, sports, volunteer commitments and artistic endeavors. We sign them up for lots of enriching activities. We give our kids smartphones that put the world in their hands 24/7. We want their college applications to stand above the crowd so they can go to the school of their (or our) dreams. It’s so important to take stock of your family’s schedule. Is the desire to expose our children to everything life has to offer compromising their healthy development and ability to cope? I encourage all parents to adopt three resolutions for the year to come: Expect less. Involve your kids in an honest
discussion about their schedules. Is there anything outside of schoolwork that doesn’t feel right for them? Is there something they want to give up to create more time in their week? Perhaps your son or daughter hasn’t known how to tell you this for fear of disappointing you. Ask open-ended questions to guide the discussion, and let them know you will support their choices. Also, don’t expect an immediate answer. It’s a good idea to plan a time to return to the topic after your kids have time to think further on their own. Talk more. Share what you have learned about the use of “study drugs,” and be honest about your concerns regarding potential harm. Without suggesting that your son or daughter is using these drugs, ask what he or she would do if a friend was taking someone else’s prescription to stay awake. This is a great way to learn what they know about ways to get help. Ask what methods they use for staying well-rested while juggling the demands of life— and don’t be surprised if you learn something that might work for you, as well. Lastly, please lock your medicine cabinet. No parent wants to look back and say, “If only …” Should you have concerns about your child’s substance use or ability to manage the stress associated with modern life, agencies like YES can provide an assessment and additional resources.

Speak up for skilled and assisted living care For the next 18 years, approximately 8,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day. By 2030, one in five Washingtonians will be considered elderly — and many will need long-term care. Reliance on government support for long-term care needs will continue to grow as baby boomers age. The future looks startling to those of us who comprise the “silver tsunami,” and is down-
right alarming for thousands of Washingtonians who rely on the state’s Medicaid system to pay for long-term care services in nursing homes and assisted living centers. Assisted living Medicaid rates haven’t been updated in nearly a decade — and were cut by six percent from 2010 to 2012. Nursing home rates were last updated in 2007. Rates fell short by more than $100 million in 2012 — and more than half the state’s nursing homes lost money. Failure to update rates creates problems at the bedside, where care quality is truly defined.
Seventy percent of the cost of long-term care is wage and labor related, thus financial losses equal lost jobs and that translates to lost quality. This is simply not sustainable. Washington Health Care Association has represented skilled and assisted living providers in Washington for more than 40 years. Our 400-plus members tell us that the issue of appropriate funding does not change because of shifting demographics. Washington’s system of facility based long-term care is threatened as never before. Now, as in the fu-
ture, when a loved one’s care needs can’t be met at home, it’s critical that trained and certified staff are available to provide quality care in a cost-effective, safe and highly regulated care setting. Please call the Legislative Hotline in Olympia today, 1-800-5626000, and let your legislators know that seniors matter. Tell them skilled and assisted living care must be a priority in the supplemental budget.

Linda De Boldt is the City of Redmond’s new public works director. Before taking the job, the Kirkland resident spent 30 years working in public works for the City of Seattle. De Boldt started on Dec. 9, 2013, taking over after former director Tim Fuller retired last summer. Samantha Pak, Redmond Reporter

Although she has lived on the Eastside for three decades, Linda De Boldt’s new job as the City of Redmond’s public works director is the first job she has held on this side of Lake Washington. The 52-year-old Kirkland resident has worked for the City of Seattle since 1983 after she graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in civil engineering. She started at the City of Redmond in December 2013, taking over after former public works director Tim Fuller retired summer 2013. “I was interested in coming to a city that is growing and as dynamic as Redmond is,” De Boldt said about why she applied for the job. She also wanted to bring her skills to somewhere closer to where she lives and saw the opportunity to take on a leadership role as the next step in her career. De Boldt said she chose to go into civil engineering — and as a result, public works — because she wanted to make a difference when it comes to environmental restoration and water resources, adding that the work she does directly affects a community’s quality of life. In coming to Redmond, De Boldt has a few goals as the new public works director.
tween Redmond and Seattle but she has noticed some major differences. One of the main differences has been the cities’ sizes. Since Redmond is smaller than Seattle, De Boldt said she has noticed it is easier to affect change here. “That’s exciting for me,” she said, adding that she has been able to bring the knowledge she’s acquired from working at a bigger city to Redmond. De Boldt said she was also pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to work with people from other departments within the city. De Boldt, who is married and has a 22-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter, was born in Boulder, Colo. but moved to Seattle when she was 6 years old. As a result, she calls herself a “diehard Northwesterner” and said camping and hiking are two things she enjoys doing outside of work. She also likes to bake. She also participates in various professional societies to further the profession — particularly for girls and women. She said more women are entering the public works sector, but when she was a student and just starting out, she was often one of the only women in the room. “It was a very maledominated profession back in the (1980s),” she said, adding that now things are more evenly divided.

She said she would like to receive input from customers on an ongoing basis so they have a strong understanding of what people want. In addition to focusing on customer service, De Boldt said she wants to work to make sure her department is at its most efficient and utilizing money in the best way. And finally, she said she wants to focus on employees and see how they can best be supported to realize their full potential. “I consider our employees to be the top resource that we have,” she said. On hiring De Boldt, Redmond Mayor John Marchione said, “Linda brings almost 30 years of experience with an impressive background to the City of Redmond. Her knowledge of protecting the environment, delivering construction projects and creating efficient organizations will greatly benefit Redmond. She reflects our city core values of public service and I believe she will perform admirably in her role.” Since she started with the city, De Boldt said things have been “really good.” Her experiences so far have been great learning opportunities as she has been getting to know people in town as well as Redmond’s infrastructure. “I’ve been doing a lot of field trips to learn the infrastructure,” she said. De Boldt said there have been a lot of similarities be-

Sen. Hill’s plan supporting developmentaldisability services moves forward While Washington residents with developmental disabilities receive high-quality care, accessing to those services has been a longstanding issue. A proposal from Sen. Andy Hill (R-Redmond) of the 45th Legislative District would provide services to thousands of people currently on a waiting list. The result would be respite care and supported employment for an additional 5,000 people and their families without costing the state additional money. “Finding ways to prioritize and provide care for individuals with developmental disabilities is of great importance to our entire state,” said Hill,

Others include people with the Children’s Hospital, Symetra Financial and Megomi School in Bothell. “I’m a real believer in Joan,” Walen said. “I have a lot of respect for her.” McBride said she’s interested in environmental work, issues around family support systems, looking at paid sick leave, the minimum wage and affordable housing. “For all these years, I’ve been very Kirkland centric,” she said. “I am really excited about (potentially) representing an entire district. My progressive values fit in well with our other sister cities — the Point cities, Bellevue and Redmond.

He is serving his second term in the Senate after serving two terms in the House for the 48th Legislative District. He said he’s worked with McBride before and he thinks the toss up presents the voters with a “real clear choice.” “Her record shows she’s for bigger government and car taxes,” Tom said. “So let’s have that debate.” Tom said that the issues of the Eastside, such as funding for State Route 520, education and other transportation funding, have been a priority and that his involvement can be seen by looking at past transportation package proposals from the Senate.

www.redmond-reporter.com or not the barbershop is open. Bob Sailer, owner and managing partner at Pacific Northwest Law Group, said the road closures have made it difficult for clients to access their business — located at 16141 Cleveland St., Suite C, along the first block of the road closure — “with residual impression that (they) are hard to find and difficult to meet with.” In addition, he said they receive their mail, FedEx and UPS deliveries much later in the day, which has affected their ability to respond to clients. Despite these difficulties, Sailer acknowledged that they have received some help. “The road crews, including the police and construction workers, have been very friendly and accommodating for us to reach our office and garage,” he said.
THE INCONVENIENCES OF CONSTRUCTION
If the construction is not deterring customers, then it is inconveniencing them a bit, according to various businesses. Edward Jones financial adviser Suzy Burke-Myers’ office is located in the same building as Sailer’s. She said her business hasn’t really been affected since clients are referral only and usually have scheduled appointments. However, she said, her office has been doing some “extra coaching” to inform clients where to park since the parking garage in their building can be confusing at the moment. Melodee Norton, who lives in the Cleveland Condominiums building above Sailer’s and BurkeMyers’ offices, said she is able to walk to work but acknowledged that getting in and out of the building on the days she doesn’t work and drives can be an issue. “I know the construction will have an impact on moving through and around Cleveland Street but believe the end result will be advantageous to all that live in or visit downtown Redmond,” Norton said. People can access the Cleveland garage by driving around the building on Bear Creek Parkway and turning in along the former Brown Street or access Brown Street —
which has reopened at the moment — from Redmond Way. While this is an option, Burke-Myers said they are making things simpler for their clients. “We’re telling people it’s just easier parking on the street,” she said. But with a good portion of Cleveland Street closed at the moment, a good portion of street parking has also become unavailable. Tina Phan, an employee at U.S. Nails on the corner of Cleveland Street and Leary Way, said things have been OK for them, but they have had customers coming in and complaining about the lack of parking at the moment. In response to Phan’s comment, a customer at the nail salon Tuesday morning pointed out that parking has always been a problem downtown. “It’s more of a problem,” Phan replied about the current situation. The noise from the construction equipment has also been a distraction. With the construction work ending at Leary Way, U.S. Nails is experiencing the noisiness. But Phan said they’re still doing OK. Although things have quieted down for her now that the work has moved further along the street, Burke-Myers said the noise from crews installing the water line in front of her office last week made it difficult to talk on the phone as well as meet with clients. “But we’ll certainly be happy when (the Streetscape project is) done,” she said.
FURTHER CLOSURES AND OUTREACH
Anne Marie Peacock, communications specialist for the City of Redmond, said they have received feedback from the community regarding the noise as well as others frustrated about not knowing the details of the construction timeline and impacts. She said the city plans to send businesses a weekly email with the week’s projected schedule so they can share with staff, residents, customers and clients. Burke-Myers said the city has been doing a good job of notifying and involving the community in what is going on, but Sailer, her building mate, begs to differ. “The city basically tells
us what will be happening, conducts an occasional public meeting for input and then ignores the recommendations and concerns,” he said. “There is never any followup or feedback to comments or recommendations, only more ‘telling what’s happening’ emails from the city communications specialists who seem to consider communication a one-way street.” He added that the city never met with businesses and residents along Cleveland Street to hear what potential impact the work would have on them. He suggested the city institutionalize a business impact statement for any such long-term work and actually document and respond to the concerns of business owners and residents. On Thursday and Friday, the intersection of Cleveland Street and Leary Way and Cleveland Street east of there was closed to through traffic. In addition, Gilman Street was made available as a two-way street.
Portions of Cleveland Street will be closed throughout the year as the City of Redmond works on the Cleveland Streetscape project and prepares to convert it into a two-way road. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
LONG-TERM VISION
Burke-Myers said all of the construction has prompted questions from clients who have been curious about the work. That work includes the underground utility work currently being done to prepare Cleveland Street — along with Redmond Way — to be converted into a two-way street. According to previous reports, the new Cleveland Street will also feature a concrete roadway and (curb-less) sidewalks and landscaped areas as opposed to being lined with trees — making it unique from any other roadway in Redmond. “There’s a lot going on,” acknowledged Peacock. “It’s extensive construction work.” Norton said she enjoys the park space, trails and walkability that has been incorporated in downtown and has high hopes for the Cleveland Streetscape. “The (Redmond Central Connector) project behind my building seems to have taken longer than projected but since it did not have a large impact on traffic it was tolerable,” she said. “Hopefully the Cleveland Street project will stay on track and keep traffic flowing during the improvements.” 990266

[ ‘odysseo’ from page 1] a desert to an ice world to a forest. One of the main highlights of “Odysseo” is the finale in which the set becomes flooded to become a lake containing 80,000 gallons of water. “We have pushed the limits of what could be achieved in a touring show,” Latourelle said. “Odysseo” features 66 horses and artistic director and choreographer Darren Charles, who has been with the show since it began about three years ago, rode a bit when he was a child, but said “that was one horse.” He said it took some getting used to being in close proximity of the animals on a regular basis. “I was surrounded by them,” he said. “You’re sort of blown away by the power of them.” He added that at “Odysseo,” it is not uncommon to be backstage and see a horse or two just walking by, “whereas in the real world, that’s not normal.”
A SHOW FOR EVERYONE
In addition to the 66 horses, “Odysseo” features about 50 artists.
www.redmond-reporter.com Among them is rider Dorian Escalon, who has also been with the show since the beginning and was part of the creative team. He said “Odysseo” is the biggest show he has been part of as he has mostly competed before this. As a rider, Escalon said it is important for them to create a relationship with the horses, see how they react to the humans and other horses and make sure they are happy. “The horses are not talking,” he said about the importance of paying close attention to them. In addition to riders like Escalon, “Odysseo” features artists like aerialist Andrea Legg who work more indirectly with the horses. “I do the rotating Chinese pole, aerial hoop and flying fabric,” she said, explaining that flying fabric act is powered by horses. Before this, Legg said she had never worked with animals and she was in awe of the animals when she first joined the show. She said one of her favorite parts of the show is a scene in which a single performer is on stage with a group of horses
A group of Guinean acrobats form a human pyramid during a recent show of “Odysseo.” The production is a mix of equestrian arts, stage arts and theatrical effects and opens Wednesday with performances through March 9. Courtesy of François Bergeron and is directing them using various calls and cues. “There’s something about a human with a bunch of beautiful animals,” she said. “There’s something very
stunning about that. You can see the relationship there that’s fostered every day.” Although the horses play a large role in “Odysseo,”
they are not the only stars of the show. Latourelle said there is something for horse lovers as well as those who are interested in the more theatrical side of the show.
“Whether you are 2 years old or 102 years old, you will enjoy the show,” Latourelle said. “This is the type of show that will touch everyone.”
“Odysseo” creator Normand Latourelle also created “Cavalia” and pioneered Cirque du Soleil. Courtesy of Jean-François Leblanc A setup crew works together to put up one of the poles that holds up the White Big Top for the upcoming “Odysseo” show at Marymoor Park.

Valentine’s Day is here. This year, instead of sticking with flowers or chocolates for your valentine, why not give a gift with a future? Specifically, consider making a meaningful financial gift. However, a “meaningful” gift doesn’t gain its meaning from its size, but rather its impact. What types of financial gifts can have the greatest effect on the life of your loved one? Here are a few possibilities: • Charitable gifts — Your valentine may well support the work of a variety of charitable organizations. Why not give to one of them, in the name of your loved one? Not only will you be helping a group that does good work, but you may also be able to receive a tax deduction for your contribution, assuming the organization qualifies for tax-exempt status. And if you give financial assets, such as appreciated stocks, you may also be able to avoid paying capital gains taxes on the donated shares. • IRA contributions — Many people don’t contribute the maximum annual amount to their IRA

Redmond students participate in painting project
From left to right, Redmond Elementary School students Manny Lopez, Jamison Hitch and Ethan Melekian paint wooden stakes for a City of Redmond art project on Monday.
Redmond Elementary School students painted 400 wooden stakes on Monday that will be used by the City of Redmond parks and recreation department in an art installation in the Downtown Park later this spring. Last week, the department put out a request for volunteers to help with a public engagement art project in the Downtown Park. The city’s project requires 1,000 brightly colored wooden stakes (green, yellow, orange and red). A commissioned artist will use the stakes in an art project designed to engage the community in figuring out what people want in this new park.

insurance do not sound like the most romantic of Valentine’s Day presents. And yet, if your valentine is also your spouse, your purchase of life and disability insurance may actually be one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. Of course, your employer may offer some life and disability insurance as employee benefits, but this coverage may be insufficient for your needs. After all, if something were to happen to you, your insurance may need to provide enough income to pay off your mortgage, send your children to college and perhaps even help pay for your spouse’s retirement. As for disability insurance, many employers’ plans are quite limited in what they provide, so you may need to supplement this cover-
age with a separate policy. And the possibility of incurring a disability, even for a short time, may be greater than you think. In fact, a 20-year-old worker has a three-in-10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age, according to the Social Security Administration. As you can see, you can choose from a range of financial gifts to brighten Valentine’s Day for your loved one. So, consider the ones that make the most sense for your valentine and start “wrapping them up,” so to speak.

Bruno grabs honor for hauling in 1,218 college rebounds Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Some kids shoot baskets into a hoop lodged onto their family’s garage door. Liz Bruno had the garage thing down, but no hoop. As a grammar school student living in the San Francisco area in the early 1970s, Bruno tossed a basketball onto the open garage door, which acted as a shelf. If she landed the ball on the shelf in between the two bedroom windows above, it was a basket. On those dark nights, Bruno made plenty of baskets, but she also smashed a few windows. “My family took out a lot of homeowners’ insurance,” Bruno, 53, said with a laugh on Monday. The 18-year Redmond resident (who was born in Seattle) returned from the Bay Area the day before after having her Santa Clara University (SCU) jersey — No. 42 — retired at a Bronco game last Saturday. Bruno played for SCU from 1978 through 1982 and holds the school career women’s and men’s record for rebounds with 1,218, is 16th on the school all-time points list
Former Santa Clara University basketball player Liz Bruno, at left with her brother John and at right during her college days, had her Bronco jersey retired last Saturday. She grabbed a school record 1,218 rebounds from 1978-82. Courtesy photos with 1,081 and is the only Bronco women’s basketball player with 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Bruno, a licensed clinical therapist in the dual diagnosis unit at Fairfax Hospital in Kirkland, said that about 150 people — including family members, friends, former teammates and coaches — attended last Saturday’s game to celebrate her honor. Current members of the team at Mercy
High, where Bruno attended school, were also on hand to cheer on the woman who helped pave the basketball road for them. “It was such a blast. It was the greatest weekend of my life,” said the member of the SCU Hall of Fame. “When I walked into the gym, everything just exploded (with excitement). It was so moving — very powerful.” Bruno remembers that her
time on the court at Mercy High in Burlingame was crucial to her success at SCU. As a junior, her team compiled a 17-2 record and notched the Girls Private School League championship. However, they had to find a new league to play in the next season. “They kicked us out. We were too dominant,” said Bruno, whose team won the South Peninsula Athletic League crown as a senior, and then she moved onto the next level at SCU. Bruno noted that her Mercy High coach, Naomi Tuite, instilled a positive mental attitude into her players that helped them succeed in prep and college basketball — and in life. Bruno, who stood at 6-foot2 in her college days, said she possessed the desire to play well, and that feeling the sensation of being “zoned in” on the court was tough to beat. “Whatever Liz sets her mind to — she ends up being ‘the best.’ In the case of her unprecedented and unbroken rebounding record, she wanted to excel in this sport and so she committed the time and practice that was required.
Liz is always a team player, on and off the court,” said Kathleen Bruno, Liz’s sister. Nowadays, Liz is an active member of the St. Jude Catholic Church in Redmond and also participates in prison ministry when she’s not at her full-time job at Fairfax Hospital. Liz puts heaps of effort into everything she does wherever she’s communicating with people. “I am strength based. I’m very positive. I’m team oriented. I’m hopeful — that’s how I roll,” Liz said. Added Kathleen about Liz: “In her job, her passion for helping people overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties (addictions, suicide attempts, broken families, character dysfunctions and other challenges) stems from her unwavering belief in the goodness of people, their capacity to embrace change when the stakes are made high enough and her deep faith.” Liz will return to SCU tomorrow for the Bronco Legends Night, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary of women’s sports at SCU.
Two Redmond High wrestlers notch first place at Kingco tourney Redmond High’s Alex Kudryashov (160 pounds) and Francisco Fuentes (220 pounds) notched first place at last weekend’s 4A Kingco wrestling tournament at Bothell High. Redmond finished fourth in the team standings. Kudryashov (23-4) and Fuentes will be joined at tomorrow’s regionals at Inglemoor High by teammates Malhar Patel (106, fifth at Kingco), Kyle Nazareth (120, fourth), Chase Simmons (126, second) and Bryan La Pierre (170, fifth). Michael Beecroft (113), Collin Cottom (182), Jose Conde (220) and
Anson as a “gem,” who rebounded from last season’s ankle injury. Kosse, a junior, performed at Kingco with a taped-up right ankle and made it to districts on beam.
Cristobal Pulido (285), all sixth-placers, are alternates. On the girls’ side, Nadia Medvinsky (137) took fourth at sub-regionals and qualified for tomorrow’s regionals at Bellingham High. Mary McConahay (106) took sixth at sub-regionals.

STEM High School shines in Verizon Innovative App Challenge
A student team from STEM High School in Redmond has been named one of Washington’s winners of the Verizon Innovative App Challenge, a national competition in which students develop a mobile application concept that addresses a need or problem in their local schools or communities. Now in its second year, the Verizon Innovative App Challenge, selected the best app concepts submitted by student teams across the U.S. and named qualifying teams from one high school and one middle school in each state as best in state winners. STEM High School’s team was chosen from nearly 1,300 teams nationwide who entered the contest. It is one of 81 best in state teams. STEM High School designed the SnapTrash app concept, which will be used to educate users in proper recycling habits by using image recognition. The competition was created by the Verizon Foundation in partnership with the Technology Student Association to encourage students to use technology to help solve local social issues. Student teams from across the nation — and with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests — submitted more than 770 app concepts, which made selecting one winning middle school team and one winning high school team highly competitive. Almost 40 percent of submitted entries were from underserved schools.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx
