LWSD board votes to include $404 million bond on April ballot RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Just one week after the $755 million Lake Washington School District (LWSD) bond officially failed, the school board of directors voted to put a smaller bond on the April ballot.

Working on a March 7 deadline for the April 22 special election, the board met on Monday to discuss the next steps for the cur-

rent and future overcrowding issue that schools in Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish face.

“Current enrollment is nearing our total capacity,” said district spokeswoman Kathryn Reith, adding that enrollment is around 26,000 students. “We’re expecting 4,000 more students in the next eight years.”

After a lengthy discussion, the board unanimously passed Resolution 2178, which calls for a $404 million bond measure.

If passed by voters, residents with the district average house value of $495,000 would pay approximately $124 a year in property taxes over the next 20 years.

“We heard concerns

from the community about the overall size of the February bond measure,” said Jackie Pendergrass, president of the LWSD board of directors. “We are facing growth and overcrowding in our schools today. These projects are the ones that are needed now to reduce current overcrowding and keep up with the rapid growth in our enrollment.”

The $404 million bond would fund the construction of three new

elementary schools, two in Redmond and one in Kirkland; a new middle school; a new westside STEM-focused (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) school on the Juanita High School (JHS) campus; the rebuild of JHS; and an addition to Lake Washington High School. The bond would also leave some funds for future capital projects.

Four Redmond High School (RHS) students and one graduate didn’t want to miss out on the historic occasion in Olympia on Feb. 26.

At 2 p.m. in the state’s capitol building, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the Washington Dream Act into law.

Students like RHS senior Alexis (last name withheld for privacy reasons), who arrived in the United States undocumented 10 years ago, are one step closer to becoming eligible for college financial aid.

“I really wanted to go because I really wanted to see that it was finally true,” said Alexis, 17, who traveled to Olympia as part of OneAmerica’s contingent. The Seattle nonprofit organization’s message is advancing “the fundamental principles of democracy and justice by building power within immigrant communities.”

Senate Bill 6523 passed the Washington State House of Representatives on Feb. 18 with a 75-22 bipartisan vote. The bill — which is the first to pass both chambers this legislative session — requires students to have lived in the state

Caucuses set for Sunday Mid-term 45th and 48th legislative district Democratic caucuses will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Redmond Middle School cafeteria (1055 166th Ave. N.E.) and the Rose Hill Elementary School cafeteria (8110 128th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland), respectively.

Keynote speakers in Redmond will include state Senate candidate Matt Isenhower, Congressional candidate Jason Ritchie and other Democratic Party leaders.

Keynote speakers in Kirkland will include Rep. Ross Hunter and Senate candidate Joan McBride.

Attendees will elect delegates and alternates to represent the districts at the Washington State Democratic Convention on June 21 in Spokane.

[ dream from page 1] and it would be way easier than without it. I have a lot of stress that’s going down.”

Inslee added in a press release: “The Dream Act represents a new future for many aspiring Washington students. While we’ve opened the doors of our colleges and universities to students from all walks of life, too many still face an insurmountable financial barrier.

This bill ensures that the young men and women we’ve invested in at our high schools and who aspire to become productive American citizens will now have fair access to the financial support they need to turn their dreams into reality.”

Other “Dreamers” from Federal Way, Mount Vernon and Vancouver were also on hand for the signing, which also featured a mariachi band and many happy faces, said RHS junior Lety, who isn’t an illegal immigrant but attended the event to support Alexis. Rounding out the Redmond group were Jenni Martinez, Carlos Martinez and Martin (who along with Lety, also prefer that their last names be withheld for privacy reasons).

“There were a lot of emotions,” Lety said. “I feel like it’s a really important act, and I feel like it would be really helpful to friends around me.”

It was Lety’s first time attending an event in Olympia, and she credits Jenni Martinez for getting her involved in OneAmerica. Martinez attends copious state workshops and last November traveled to Washington, D.C. to help 989388

further the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM).

ALEXIS’ STORY

Alexis arrived in Redmond from Guerrero, Mexico in 2004 with his older sister to live with their mother, who was staying here undocumented for two years. His dad wasn’t and still isn’t with the family.

Alexis began learning English as a third-grader at Redmond Elementary School, moved on to Redmond Junior High and is a few months away from becoming an RHS graduate.

Alexis’ dreams of going to college were seemingly dashed when his sister and cousins graduated from high school but were unable to afford to study at the next academic level.

“I started to give up hope,” said Alexis, noting that it was tough to watch his sister feel disappointment. “She gave up hope and just started working.”

Now that the Dream Act has passed, Alexis is looking at Washington State University as his next possible school and has studying business and economics on his docket.

He enjoys creating desserts in the kitchen — especially chocolate mousse and cakes — and aspires to be a professional chef someday and open a restaurant.

His Dream Act experience has pushed him toward achieving his goals.

“It was really amazing going down to Olympia,” said Alexis, who also credits Jenni Martinez for getting him involved in supporting the Dream Act through OneAmerica. “It’s been really fun

and I’ve learned so much — I’ve been putting my head into the project and just going at it.”

REACTIONS

Rep. Zach Hudgins, DRenton, the Dream Act’s chief House sponsor, said that when people work together, then they dream together and can do great things for the state.

Rep. Mark Hargrove, R-Covington, said the bill was flawed and could hurt the middle class.

He said state taxpayers now are responsible for paying for the education of 6.6 million Washingtonians; with the new bill, they’re responsible for the kids of 7 billion people in the world, he added.

Rich Stolz, executive director of OneAmerica, weighed in: “The large bipartisan majorities that supported the Dream Act in our House and Senate is in striking contrast to what we have seen in Congress lately. Washington legislature’s action is a testament to the power of organizing and the growing influence of the immigrant vote in Washington state.

“We hope that Republican leadership still struggling to bring comprehensive immigration reform up for a vote in Congress hears this message,” he added.

Also known as the Real Hope Act, the Dream Act appropriates $5 million from the general fund to pay for the financial-aid disbursements under the state need-grant program.

school, the addition to Eastlake High School in Sammamish and the modernization of five schools: Kamiakin Middle School and Peter Kirk Elementary in Kirkland, Evergreen Middle School and Rockwell Elementary in Redmond, and Mead Elementary in Sammamish.

Those improvements would have been funded, had the previous February bond passed.

“I think they had a difficult decision and I think they looked at the alternatives and said this is an important and critical enough issue that they need to take action,” said Jeanne Large, a Kirkland resident who attended the meeting. “They made the appropriate changes to back off on those things, which are not immediate and can be taken care of four years from now.”

A second bond with an undetermined amount will likely go before voters in 2018 to complete the third phase the original bond was planned for.

Mark Stuart and others on the board grappled with the decision to put the bond on the November ballot versus the April ballot because they feared that might not allow enough time to do an appropriate campaign.

Ultimately, the fear of supporters losing momentum and the $21 million hit for delaying the construction projects prompted the board to stick with the schedule and try to get a bond passed as soon as possible.

“I really believe this is a crisis-mode decision,” Pendergrass said. “ … One of the things I’m worried about in delaying (the bond on the ballot) is that it will water down the message … We really need this to happen so we know where we’re putting kids.”

Redmond resident Jane Wither told the board she’s experienced the problems the district is facing.

Wither’s oldest daughter attends Stella Schola Middle School and her youngest is finishing up fifth grade at Rockwell Elementary.

witnessed firsthand the impact of overcrowding,” Wither said, who is Rockwell PTSA member. “We also understand what positive impact school modernization can have on our students and community at large, especially with the Stella Schola and Rose Hill Middle School modernization project.”

Although the board voted to exclude the modernization measures in this bond, Wither advised the district to reframe the conversation on why the bond is so needed.

If the bond doesn’t pass, the district would be forced to reduce or eliminate all-day kindergarten, double shift kindergarten through 12th grade, which means the school would operate in two shifts so more students can be taught in less space. They would have to add portables “wherever possible,” which cost $300,000 each, they would have to change delivery models for district programs, re-boundary and/or change to a school year calendar.

During the meeting, district staff presented an analysis of why voters didn’t pass the bond in a 60 percent supermajority vote. The final vote was 57.79 percent in favor of the $755 million bond.

After analyzing voter data, officials discovered that 5.68 percent of Lake Washington School District voters didn’t vote “yes” or “no” on the bond even though they voted on the other measures.

“The assumption is people failed to turn the ballot over,” Deputy Superintendent Janene Fogard said, noting that other school district measures on the back of the King County ballot also had fewer votes.

But in a districtwide survey of 400 residents, district officials learned that 23 percent of people who voted against the bond said it was because it was simply too expensive. Another 16 percent said the reason they voted against it was because it was a tax burden.

Kirkland resident Dave Griffin said the district should look at the economic impact in that the district would be taking “hundreds of dollars out of

people’s pockets for schools.”

“I think we need to spend those dollars very, very carefully and make sure the structures are used fully and we get really good use out of them,” Griffin said. “I’ve talked to many neighbors who do not plan on tearing down their houses when they hit 40-41 years old but they look at maintaining and getting full value and use out of those structures for as long as they feasibly can.”

Pendergrass responded that schools aren’t in the same realm of public facilities, which have different permitting requirements, among many other factors.

“We asked for a lot,” said school board director Christopher Carlson at the meeting.

“Why did we ask for a lot? Because we need a lot … We are not saying we asked for things that we don’t need, it’s just the things that we need in the next four years cost a lot less than the sticker shock of three-quarters of a billion dollars.”

Matt Loschen, who lives on Union Hill, just outside of the City of Redmond but within the LWSD, sent the Reporter an email regarding his feelings on the bond measure. His daughter is a senior at Redmond High School and won’t benefit from the bond, but his neighbor’s children will reap the rewards if the bond passes.

“We parents are used to sacrificing for kids. Sure, I wanted the bond to pass in February so we could get busy with something else … I’d love the giant pile of campaign signs in my yard to just disappear.

But the needs of our children aren’t going to disappear until we pass the bond,” wrote the retired former Microsoft employee.

“Anyone who has volunteered in public schools knows that LWSD is an incredibly efficient steward of the public’s tax dollars … they put the private sector to shame. The size of the bond is just a reflection of the size of the challenge we’re throwing at our school system.

Growth is hard. That’s why we all need to pitch in to ensure a bright future for our kids and our community,” Loschen added.

Metro cuts would affect local college students

Amy Morrison Goings Eric W. Murray

The King County Metro funding gap and proposed service cuts are of great concern to the entire region and especially to the students, faculty and staff of area colleges.

As the presidents of community and technical colleges, we have followed the transportation funding issues with growing concern.

We fear the proposed service cuts to King County Metro Transit will have negative effects on our society and economy.

Our colleges support a fragile population that is deeply reliant on Metro Transit’s service in order to learn English, develop basic skills, train for new jobs and earn a degree. The proposed cuts are different for each school, but the impact on students is the same: The elimination of one route and the cut back in service for another route serving Cascadia Community College could make the difference between being able to attend college or not for a percentage of students.

The elimination of night service from the only route serving Lake Washington Institute of Technology means that some students will have no way of getting to

campus or home.

Students attend our colleges from more than 200 different regional zip codes.

Already many students are forced to make two or three transfers to reach campus; some are juggling jobs, child care and other family responsibilities. But the implications of the proposed service cuts go beyond inconvenience. They represent a threat to social equity by restricting a resource needed by our most disadvantaged students to improve their lives.

Community and technical colleges are being championed as a critical resource to the economic vitality of our region and

state by helping underserved populations develop the skills needed to gain employment and contribute to our economy rather than depend on social services.

We encourage Metro Transit to revisit its “service guidelines” to include social equity by placing a priority on service to colleges and universities.

Far-right Republican caucus and the story of a bus ride Recently, I rode a bus to Olympia with Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest on Lobby Day to meet with Sen. Rodney Tom. Let me be clear: I am not an activist. I am not even a volunteer with Planned Parenthood or NARAL ProChoice America. I am, however, very concerned about women’s health care, and I felt I could make a difference talking to my senator face to face.

I’m concerned because if the Reproductive Parity Act does not pass, there may be more than the two current insurance plans that do not cover abortion in Washington. What happens if a woman purchases one of those plans and is raped? Will she be expected to pay for the rape out of pocket, or as is done in Michigan, purchase the unthinkable “rape rider” on her insurance plan ahead of time — just in case?

Please safeguard us from insurance companies deciding to drop abortion coverage. They might do this because they feel pressure from the far right.

If insurance companies in Washington drop abortion coverage, they are making abortion less accessible to the

women in this state.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to express my concern to Sen. Tom because he abruptly canceled the pre-scheduled meeting. Even his staff would not talk to me or the eight other constituents.

It is time Sen. Tom stops putting his far-right Republican caucus before the interest of his constituents. Women’s health matters. Please pass the Reproductive Parity Act.

Redmond wine business needs help Corporate America and high-paid lobbyists put a lot of pressure on our elected representatives. But if there’s one time when small, family owned business owners need our representatives to work for us, this is it.

We own World of Wines, a wine shop in Redmond. Since the Costco initiative two years ago, corporate America has moved into Washington and taken over the liquor industry.

Prices have gone up, public safety has gone down and small, family owned businesses like ours have gone out of business.

Although two other wine/liquor stores in Redmond have closed in the

last year, we haven’t closed yet. House Bill ESSB 5731 would allow us to sell a limited amount of hard liquor made by other small businesses (mainly Washington craft distillers). If 5731 doesn’t pass this session, we’ll end up closing our doors, as well, and the loss of small bottle shops will have long-term ramifications to the small wineries in Washington state.

Our family’s livelihood is at stake.

We hope that our representatives remember that they’re supposed to work for small businesses, too!

Allen and Janet Bechtel and Kathy Brunker, World of Wines owners

Gov. Inslee wrong on death penalty So is this how Gov. Jay Inslee “energizes” his base — by suspending the death penalty? Inslee “walked through the steps of an execution.” So what?

And he met with the people on death row. Again, so what?

All he did was fortify a pre-conceived bias against the death penalty.

Oh yeah, he “met with the victims families.” Likely just long enough to say that he met with the victims families.

Inslee claims to be worried about the cost of prosecuting the death penalty.

I recall candidate Inslee, who cost the state $1 million to have a special election a few weeks early. I don’t remember his concern then. How many prosecutions would $1,000,000 fund?

These nine people on death row are the worst of the worst. Their heinous crimes deserve the death penalty several times over. And Inslee tries to claim the cloak of humanitarianism.

Unfortunately it drips blood red from all the innocent victims.

Denny Andrews, Bellevue

Death penalty part 2 From the Web: Oregon and Colorado have also placed moratoriums on executions and it hasn’t seemed to impact (either positively or negatively) the elections.

I don’t know how this will impact Inslee’s re-election bid in 2016, but I think it will probably not, which will also make it less likely to impact future elections. I do like Inslee’s statement where he says about the convicted prisoners on death row: “I don’t question the guilt or the gravity of their crimes.

They get no mercy from me. But I do not believe their horrific offenses override the problems that exist in our capital-punishment system.”

Esparza documents reality of high-school life in his novel senior, sports a worn out, furring grey beanie.

“It’s something I hold onto, and I won’t let anyone force me to be someone else or dress in some other way,” said Esparza, pointing to his prized possession.

Being only 17, Esparza said that many people had doubted his ability to write, let alone publish a book of his own.

“People usually shrug it off and believe (the book) wouldn’t go through publication. So they are OK with me writing about them,” said Esparza. “But once I announced that it’s

published, everyone started to voice their thoughts and concerns.”

Instead of lazing around during the summer, Esparza made use of his free time to experiment.

He started his novel at the end of summer 2012, and completed it in March 2013. The book consists of 186 pages of Espinoza’s adventures during his sophomore and junior years.

Esparza’s father funded the book.

“I’m very proud of Bryan in a way that he knows what he wants to do, and what he aims to do

with his writing,” said editor Jennifer Mauck, who is also a teacher at RHS. “When he approached me, I have never taught him, I barely knew him. But when he approached me to edit his work, I was skeptical of his aim. Seeing how hard he worked, it was definitely for real.”

Esparza knew that the book would draw attention since it is considered realistic fiction.

“After all,” said Esparza, “who’s in a better position to write about high school than a high school kid?”

“Attitude” is available in Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles’ website and SoulFood books.

Jack finds a home on a hospital ship Deanna Isaacs UW News Lab

For some, the Africa Mercy is a life-saving ship.

To former Redmond resident Kristin Jack, it has become a life-changing volunteer adventure, a fulfilling job and a home.

Working for social justice with a nonprofit hospital ship that travels to developing nations is an opportunity she planned for.

Originally accepted to the position as a barista at the ship’s Starbucks, Jack is now the head receptionist on the ship that has traveled from Guinea to Pointe-Noire, Congo. She has an important role as first-contact for patients and crew members.

According to Diana Cash, a primary caregiver, chaplain and librarian aboard the Africa Mercy, one of the things that makes Jack so good at her job is the way she cares for

Former Redmond resident Kristin Jack stands next to the Africa Mercy ship and, at right, interacts with a villager on one of her trips. Courtesy photos people, whether behind the coffee stand or the reception desk.

“She can make people feel at ease on the ship,” Cash said.

And when you’re dealing with sick or terminal patients, making people feel at ease is a good skill to have. The Africa Mercy’s

primary mission is to give health care to developing nations, including emergency care for terminal patients.

“I saw a chaplain come up holding a (sick) little baby; just seeing the grief in these parents’ eyes and faces, that was a really hard moment,” Jack said.

“It was also one where I was really glad that this family wasn’t alone when it happened and that they were surrounded by (people) that loved their baby and loved them.”

The Africa Mercy is a fully capable hospital, complete with an emergency room, pediatric ward, intensive care units, several surgery rooms and more. It is staffed by ap-

proximately 400 volunteers from more than 30 different nations, according to Jack.

All of the volunteers aboard the ship have to raise money to pay their way aboard and to also help with operation costs.

As soon as Jack found out she got the job as barista on the ship, she started fundraising to pay her way.

The $1,000 per month in donations that Jack uses to stay on board is given through her website and will cover her food and boarding, travel expenses, health care and more.

For her money, she gets a bunk in a room built to hold eight people and a storage compartment. According to Jack, one needs to be flexible and adaptable, but also fun, in order to live well together in such cramped quarters.

Krissy Close, the hospital projects manager and a friend of Jack’s, said life on the ship is mostly uncomplicated, even though you work so closely with people.

“There’s not a whole lot

to do, per se, in the American mindset out here in the Congo,” Close said. “So the simple things become very special, (such as) when you can spend time with a friend.”

When Jack is overcome with homesickness, she immerses herself in making the ship feel more like home, such as planning a Super Bowl party and an upcoming bridal shower.

She’s looking forward to extending her contract to stay aboard longer, committed to continuing to help those in need and staying among a community that she calls home.

Since she is so far away from most donors, Jack uses social networking and online fundraising to facilitate her funding needs.

You can visit her website at www.abeautifulwander. com/mercy-ships/ to help her on her way.

Davis pursued a degree in financing during the week while spending weekends and academic breaks training and showing horses around the region.

But she wasn’t showing horses enough, she said. She wanted to come back to Washington state.

So after two years, Davis returned home to the Northwest and enrolled at Seattle University. She concur-

For the next 11 years she showed horses from Canada to California.

Sadie Whitely, owner of the Tacoma Menchie’s, was one of the other franchisees who helped guide Davis through the opening of her store in Redmond.

“She’s a good fit because she’s fun and committed to maintaining her place.”

Joe Davis said that Jodie has signed up to open five more Menchie’s franchises in the area, if all goes well with the first shop.

After suffering a neck injury that ended her career as a professional horseback rider, Jodie Davis has found a new career as the franchise owner of a new frozen yogurt shop in Redmond.

For Davis, finding a new occupation after years on the saddle was a lengthy process.

“I didn’t think I’d ever find anything that’d interest me like Menchie’s,” Davis said. “It’s really helped my move away from riding.”

Since she was 4 years old, Davis rode horses. She couldn’t even go on vacation unless she could ride a horse at the places they visited, according to her father, Joe Davis.

And when she was 8 years old, her parents bought her first pony, Raffle.

With constant practice and avid passion, her skills as a rider bloomed. Davis moved east to attend the University of South Carolina to be near one of the nation’s premier

couldn’t entirely protect her from the dangers of horse riding. After an accidental hard fall, Davis suffered a serious neck injury. At first, she believed the aching would fade. But after a couple weeks, the pain intensified to excruciating levels.

“It scared me enough to listen to the doctors,” Davis said. “They told me I could no longer ride.”

Her career counselor at Seattle University suggested she try franchising: owning a restaurant but receiving designs, equipment and food from a corporate sponsor.

To Davis, it sounded like a possibility. When she researched possible franchises, Menchie’s caught her attention.

“Right away,” Davis said. “Since I love frozen yogurt, it interested me.

Then, the first time I actually tried it, it was amazing.”

Davis opened the shop, located at 17875 Redmond Way, the first week of 2014.

Davis, who lives in Bothell, said that she is still learning the ins and

may be true, the reality is that it is mainly the fruit sugars that are extracted from fruits, and condensed into a sweet and sticky paste.

When sugars stick to the teeth for an extended time, bacteria will thrive (forming visible plaque) and produce acidic waste, which ultimately leads to the erosion of enamel. The healthy fiber of natural fruits is eliminated from these products. Eating whole fruits and vegetables at snack time will provide the benefit of fiber, which is filling, good for the digestive tract and cleanses the mouth and teeth.

Water should also be the beverage of choice during snack times. For the occasional treat, choosing a piece of chocolate that melts away quickly, over a piece of taffy or sour gummies, could be a win-win for both you and your child.

“Learning loss begins within 24 to 48 hours, unless the new information is reinforced or applied immediately,” says Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D., vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center, which has locations in Kirkland and Bellevue. “After a month without reinforcement, approximately 80 percent of what a student has recently learned can be lost. You cannot start too early or too late to help your child prepare for going back to school.”

Redmond cellist qualifies for national competition ADIBA KHAN UW News Lab

As a tiny fourth-grader, Audrey Chen was drawn to the biggest instrument in the music room: the cello.

The 17-year-old Redmond resident is now a senior at Interlake High School, and has received many accolades for playing the instrument. She recently became a national finalist for the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) Senior Strings Competition.

In order to qualify for the national MTNA competition in Chicago, Chen first competed at the state level and then in the Pacific Northwest division.

She competed with fellow cellists, as well as violinists and violists.

“I really like the cello for its mellow sound, and it’s really warm,” said Chen. “I feel bad if I don’t practice for, like, two days.

You can tell the difference if you haven’t been practicing.”

Chen also enjoys fencing, riding her bike, reading and playing the piano, which she has been playing since she was 6.

One reason she pursued mastering the cello instead of the piano is the ability to perform the cello solo, in chamber with a small group of people and in orchestra with a bigger group.

Chen will perform solo at the competition, but emphasizes the feeling of community she finds through playing the cello in orchestra.

“In orchestra you can be part of this large group of people, where you’re all working together to create beautiful, uniform sound,” said Chen. “It really helps to boost your confidence in just how far you can get in music if you can find those who are taking the same path.”

This past summer, Chen was part of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America.

She was one of the 120 young musicians in the nation chosen to visit and train in London, Russia and cities on the East Coast. She is also part of the Bellevue Youth

Redmond’s Audrey Chen will perform in the Music Teachers National Association Senior Strings Competition in Chicago. Courtesy of Georgie Cui Symphony Orchestra and the Interlake Chamber Orchestra.

“Audrey Chen is an extraordinary talented musician, an IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma recipient, and a thoughtful and charismatic young lady,” said Dr. Shira Katsman, the director of orchestras at Interlake. “She generously serves the community by often volunteering to play at school functions.”

Last month, Chen won first place for her solo performance in the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra’s Youth Concerto.

In addition to being part of her school orchestras since elementary school, Chen has had private lessons since she began playing the cello.

Her private teacher, Kai Chen (no relation), has taught her all that she knows about the cello, she said.

The MTNA is an organization that supports the careers of music teachers throughout the nation.

Their student competition is an opportunity for the students of association members to demonstrate

their musical education and talent. Kai Chen is not involved with the association, but was able to register Audrey Chen as a non-member.

“She is the best player in the Washington state,” said Kai Chen, who has been teaching Audrey Chen for a span of nine years.

Chen will head to Chicago to compete in the MTNA Senior Strings Competition on March 23. The winner receives a cash prize and performs in a concert the day after the competition. For Chen, the most rewarding part of winning is the opportunity to perform and appreciate her own progress as an artist.

“I’ve been looking into a science,” said Chen, regarding her plans to pursue a dual degree in music and another major in college. “I know it doesn’t seem very related, but I’ve always thought I could find a connection between the two.”

Adiba Khan is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

This fun, FREE, daylong event features a fashion show and a variety of entertainers. Sit in on mini-seminars and workshops. Take advantage of free health screenings. Stroll through vendor exhibits highlighting a wide range of Eastside businesses and organizations.

The entire day is geared to the active senior.

Bear Creek basketball teams hit the road to Spokane Grizzlies compete in class 2B state Hardwood Classic The Bear Creek School’s boys and girls basketball teams punched their tickets to this week’s 2B state Hardwood Classic at the Spokane Arena with victories at last weekend’s state regionals.

Seniors Jesse Leuenberger and Collin Feight poured in 18 points each in the boys’ 61-31 victory over Willapa Valley on Friday at Bothell High.

According to coach Scott Moe, the Grizzlies’ defense is in “lockdown mode” this season and held Willapa Valley to a season-low points output; they averaged 62 points a game heading into regionals. Senior Luke Blankenbeckler was another Bear Creek standout with eight points and solid defense.

On the girls’ side, senior Catherine Fernandez led the Grizzlies

with 23 points and 20 rebounds in a 51-48 win over Wahkiakum on Saturday at Bothell High.

With senior Kristina Engelstone out with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, senior Hailey Morgan and sophomore Michelle Kahue (10 points) stepped up with clutch buzzer-beating shots and junior Darryln McDonough played stellar defense.

Both Leuenberger and Fernandez earned sportsmanship awards.

The girls (21-2 overall) lost to Northwest Christian (Colbert), 52-14, on Thursday morning at state. Fernandez had eight points and McDonough had six points.

Bear Creek will next play DeSales in a loser-out game at 9 a.m. today.

The winner advances to the fourth-/sixth-place game at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

The boys (21-2 overall) were also to play Northwest Christian (Colbert) at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at state, after the Reporter’s deadline.

Imagine Overlake community meeting set for Monday “Could the Overlake commercial district echo the success of South Lake Union?” asks Tom Hinman, facilitator for Imagine Overlake.

Redmond and Bellevue residents and businesses are invited to attend a community information meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. on Monday at the King County Library in Redmond.

Sponsored by Imagine Overlake, a new grassroots citizens’ group, this meeting will launch

a community conversation that visualizes how the area surrounding Overlake Village’s future light rail station might look in the next decade.

Esterra Park, a catalyst project centered in the former Group Health hospital site in Redmond, began the first phase of construction with site preparation last year and is expected to have about 500 apartments ready for occupancy next fall.

ing the Microsoft campus is currently being reviewed by Redmond planners. The project’s second phase will include a neighborhood park that has been the topic of several community open houses as the City of Redmond and developers seek public input.

Hinman said, “We want to capture momentum generated in recent Sound Transit meetings and the park planning process in looking ahead to other

neighborhood gathering places — including future parks — that will make Overlake an exciting place to live.

Building a sense of community is as important as new construction if Overlake Village is to achieve the dreams of residents, planners and developers.” Hinman also cited South Lake Union as a new neighborhood working to build that sense of community, but that Overlake Village could be more family friendly.

thank the members of the Low Income Fare Advisory Committee for the hard work they put into recommending the creation of a low income fare.”

“Creating a low-income fare is not only a historic move, but more importantly it helps ensure that populations who rely on transit most to get to jobs, classes and medical appointments aren’t priced out of the system,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips. “With our action today, King County is just the second major jurisdiction in the nation to address equity in access to transit through a low income fare program.”

In the face of losing up to 17 percent of Metro Transit service, the Metropolitan King County Council on Monday took a step toward bolstering Transit Division finances by approving an acrossthe-board increase in transit fares. In conjunction with the fare increase, the council is also acting to try to ensure that communities who depend on public transit as their primary source of transportation are not left behind with the creation of a low-income fare program.

“Today’s vote makes King County one of the few large transit agencies in the country with a low-income fare,” said council member Larry Gossett, prime sponsor of the legislation creating the low-income fare. “The low-income fare has been about two years in the making and the work isn’t done yet. I look forward to continuing the good working relationship with (Executive Dow Constantine) and transit advocates as we develop an implementation strategy that works for Metro and those who will use this new fare.

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.
