Proposed mosque raises traffic concerns among residents The possibility of increased traffic and noise are among the reasons a group of Redmond residents are concerned about a mosque being proposed for an empty plot of land near Microsoft. If approved, Anjumane-Burhani Mosque would be located at 15252 N.E. 51st St. It would be two stories with a basement for a total of 22,467 square feet, according to plans from Rolluda Architects, the architecture firm designing the building. The size of the building, which would sit on about 1.12 acres of land, is one of the things that has residents in the neighborhood most concerned. “It’s not about the religion,” said Frank Niederle. “It’s about 20,000 square feet. That’s something else. It doesn’t make sense.”
MORE TRAFFIC AND CONGESTION
Niederle and his wife Maria Niederle have lived in their home, which is less than a half mile away from the proposed mosque location, for more than 30 years. They said their neighborhood is full of children who often walk to school and play outside and the Niederles are concerned that an influx of drivers coming and going at the mosque would make it unsafe for them. Jamie Hilbert — who

lives along 156th Avenue Northeast, just a few blocks from the site — is also concerned about traffic safety for children if a new community building is built. “We don’t want a kid to get hit,” she said. Hilbert said they already have a lot of traffic from Microsoft, adding that sometimes it can take her up to five minutes to pull out of her driveway if she hits rush hour. The proposed mosque would increase the problem significantly, she said.
OVERFLOW PARKING
Maria Niederle said their neighborhood is not built to accommodate more cars. The entrance to their neighborhood already gets overflow parking from Microsoft, she said, and the mosque would just bring more as the site would not have enough parking to accommodate a building of that size. According to the architects’ plans, there would be 42 parking stalls. “(It) is not enough for something like that,” Frank Niederle said. Maria Niederle added that it should not be their neighborhood’s responsibility to provide parking for the proposed mosque. Radmila Tatevosyan, who also lives in the neighborhood, said they live in a residential area and she would like to leave it that way. “Our neighborhood is good because it’s quiet,” she said.

Black box on missing flight 370 made in Redmond SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
It has been more than a month since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared during its flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and searchers are still looking for the plane, which had been carrying 239 people. Search boats picked up signals off the west coast of Australia last weekend that officials hope came from

locator beacons attached to black boxes in the plane, according to a CNN.com report on Wednesday. Those black boxes, which contain a flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR), were engineered and manufactured at Honeywell’s Redmond location and would provide authorities with information on the plane’s final hours. Steven Brecken, director
of global media and analyst relations for Honeywell’s aerospace unit, said Honeywell in Redmond engineered and manufactured FDRs and CVRs for planes from 1989 to 2008. “We are one of the manufacturers of these systems,” he said, adding that now, the devices are still engineered at the Redmond location but they are manufactured elsewhere. The FDR holds up to 25
hours of data from a plane’s various systems. Brecken said the FDR can monitor things such as a plane’s speed, altitude, engine status and more — it all depends on the aircraft and what the airline wants monitored. “It tells you what’s going on with the airplane at that point in time,” he said about the FDR.

Like the Niederles, Tatevosyan said this is why she is concerned about the mosque coming into the neighborhood. “Even if it was a Russian church, like my church, I’d still be against it,” she said. Tatevosyan added that a proposed daycare center for that same plot of land had previously been denied because it would bring too much traffic to the area, so she doesn’t understand how a building as large as the mosque would be approved.
www.redmond-reporter.com Tatevosyan said if the mosque gets built, she will consider moving out of the neighborhood.
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
Ali Habib, project manager for the Anjumane-Burhani Mosque, said since they purchased the property four years ago, they have worked with the City of Redmond to make sure the project fits “seamlessly within the neighborhood and enhances” it without causing disruptions.
“Many of the concerns outlined, including parking and traffic, have been at the forefront of those discussions,” he said. “We have undertaken efforts to meet and engage our neighbors, including hosting an open house some months back, but there is always more that can be done.” This includes a community meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on April 30 in the Redmond Council Chambers at City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St. Habib said the goal is to

City seeks comment on park usage The City of Redmond wants to better understand when and how people use their parks as a way to determine where to spend resources in the future. There are 40 different developed and undeveloped parks in the City of Redmond. To provide the best park experience for those who frequent these parks, the city has launched a “You Count” park data collection program. In seven of Redmond’s parks, an active infrared trail monitoring system has been installed to count the number of people who enter each park. This information will help the city make informed decisions on future park development and maintenance practices. The following seven parks have received the monitoring system: Spiritbrook Park, Perrigo Park, Meadow Park, Anderson Park, Grass Lawn, Cascade

View Park and Viewpoint Park. In addition to the current park data being collected on the infrared monitoring equipment, the city is also asking community members to help them count park users by accessing a mobile survey from their phones. While visiting any park in Redmond (not just the ones being monitored by the counting system) city staff is asking visitors to help them count the number of people using the park amenities while they’re there; visitors can share the number of people they see using the playground, sports court, grass lawns and any other areas that are not being used for games or classes and input that information in an online survey. This mobile survey can be found at www.redmond. gov/ParkUsers.

“They believe the signals to be consistent with the specification and description of a flight data recorder,” Houston said in the report. “I’m now optimistic that we will find the aircraft or what’s left of the aircraft in the not too distant future.”

Another legislative session, more missed opportunities (Matt Isenhower is a Democrat running for state senator in the 45th Legislative District.) If the state Legislature were graded on its performance this year, it would have received an “incomplete.” This year’s legislative session in Olympia ended with so few results that one newspaper proclaimed it the “Do-Little Legislature.” When it came to our schools, easing traffic congestion, or protecting our rights and safety, state Senate leadership chose partisan unity over the leadership and independence required to serve our families and businesses.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY #1: FULLY FUNDING EDUCATION
Days before the Legislature convened, the State Supreme Court described this legislative session as “an opportunity to take a significant step forward” toward meeting the court’s mandate to fully fund education. “The need for significant action could not be more apparent,” it wrote. Instead of taking the court’s directive seriously, the Legislature passed just $58 million in additional education spending — about 1 percent of the amount estimated to be needed by 2017 — and continued to ignore voter-approved initiatives to provide for more competitive teacher pay and to reduce class sizes. There are common-sense ways to increase sustainable school funding that doesn’t raise taxes on middle class families, but the Senate chose to keep massive tax loopholes for out-of-state companies instead. Investing in our children’s education, not corporate tax loopholes, guarantees us the best return on our investment, and it’s something I intend to do if I’m elected in November to represent the 45th Legislative District as a state senator. Additionally, for the first time in 18 years, the Legislature did not pass a construction budget. Despite winning broad bipartisan support in the
House, the Senate’s Majority Coalition Caucus could not muster a single vote for the package. As a result, the state is attempting to fund instruction for all-day kindergarten without providing resources to increase classroom space and missed the opportunity to create 2,500 jobs. Matt Isenhower

MISSED OPPORTUNITY #2: PASSING A TRANSPORTATION PACKAGE
Every day, Eastside families see the results of the Senate’s failure to prioritize transportation when we sit in traffic jams and ride on overcrowded buses. This congestion costs Washington, the most trade dependent state in the country, money in lost time and productivity. One place where we see the immediate effects of the Senate’s inaction is SR-520. Lack of planning for its completion puts Eastside families at real risk of having to pay for a “Bridge to Nowhere.” When the state spends taxpayers’ hardearned money, it needs to do it right and be fiscally responsible. By failing to properly fund transporta-
tion — including transit and local roads — elected officials in Olympia aren’t living up to their end of the deal.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY #3: PROTECTING HEALTH AND FAMILIES
There were many common-sense bills that the Senate majority blocked out of sheer partisanship. These were bills that many in our district support, like protecting a woman’s right to make her own health care choices, and reforms to ban the use of harmful toxic chemicals in household products. These past four years, instead of creating policy that works for Eastside families, our elected officials have simply created more gridlock with fewer results. Hardworking families on the Eastside and throughout Washington state deserve better. We need leaders with a sense of urgency to address our problems, and that’s why I firmly believe that we need a new voice representing us in the State Senate.

Vote ‘no’ on the LWSD bond The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) was told by the public in February of this year that they were not interested in financing a $755 million bond for new schools. My expectation as a parent and voter was that rejection of the bond measure would lead the district to examine spending and re-assess capacity needs. However, rather than follow this logical approach, the school district returns to the voters two months later to try again. How many times will they do this? What happens if this new bond measure fails? Can we expect another vote this year? The district now seeks a new bond for about half of the original amount, with an intention to seek the other half in 2018. Coming from an institution that educates our children, I find this especially disingenuous. I teach my child that no means no. If they ask for five cookies now and I say “no,” I’m not going to suddenly
give in when they propose three cookies now and two cookies later. The district has shown no restraint in their abject desire to extract as much money as possible from the taxpayers, while making no effort to find cost savings or to explore other options to accommodate growth. As a fact, the LWSD is currently under capacity. The district “estimates” that growth will occur in the future, surpassing current capacity. But what happens if the growth doesn’t occur? Taxes associated with an approved bond will be extracted from taxpayers for the next several decades, regardless of whether actual growth occurs. What happens if another recession hits and growth doesn’t occur? The answer: the district will continue to extract money from taxpayers and will construct schools with the money, because by state law it can’t be used for anything else. Without growth, we may be stuck with unneeded schools all while paying off millions in bonds for the next two decades. There is no contingency
plan with this bond measure if the ‘expected’ growth does not occur. Interestingly, local jurisdictions collect impact fees from new residential development. These fees are reserved for only one thing — creating new school capacity. The fees are directly tied to growth within the community. The district has made no effort to seek an increase in these fees, instead coming back to the taxpayers. If the district were to seek an increase in impact fees to better fund new schools, money would only be collected if the growth occurs and not a dime in interest would be paid. As much as I loathe the district’s second request for bond money, I find the public supporters of the district and their proposed bonds equally tactless. Anyone who dares question the district or shows opposition to the bonds is labeled as someone who doesn’t care about kids, or someone who is fine with children being educated in a brick schoolhouse with a wood burning stove. I care deeply about my own children and want the best educa-
tion for them, but I also understand that if we don’t ever say no to a greedy institution such as the LWSD, that they will continue to build overly-expensive schools and never look for ways to save money or do things more efficiently. I had thought that the public had finally said no back in February, but here we are again. The district must be forced to look for other ways to accommodate growth. And if forced, they will find ways. Let’s make them do it — vote “no.”

www.redmond-reporter.com choose among many neighboring school districts choose the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) because of its impressive track record of academic success. Businesses consistently look at our successful schools as a key factor in deciding to locate and grow here. As a result, we’ve seen explosive student growth. We aren’t just a little bit cramped for space — our schools are now overflowing with students. Our schools are expected to grow by 4,000 students in the next eight years. If we do nothing, we will see more portable classrooms on our school campuses, and we may even be forced to double-shift school schedules to accommodate overcrowding. Right now voters in Lake Washington have an opportunity to avoid these problems and keep our schools top notch. On the April 22 ballot is a bond measure that will secure funds to build much-needed new facilities and additions, as well as renovate existing structures. Specifically, the bond will pay for the construction of three new elementary schools and one new middle school to help alleviate overcrowding. It will also rebuild or expand two high schools, and build and equip a new science and technology focused high school. This bond is our community raising money from our members to build schools for our students. It is our community solving its own problems. Our schools and our kids should not be held hostage by national or state political fights that have nothing to do with the values of our community. Kids can’t learn and communities won’t grow if our school system fails to provide the basic structure — the classrooms and schools — needed for learning. Our big Lake Washington family is growing. Let’s welcome and encourage that growth by investing in our schools. Please vote “yes” for LWSD Proposition No. 1 on April 22.

opinion
voters rejected the last bond — she increased her efforts to have the state legislature eliminate the 60 percent approval requirement. That’s disappointing for two reasons. First because it means that even with years of higher-education learning, Superintendent Pierce apparently failed to gain much appreciation for the checks and balances our constitutions, both federal and state, use to protect the survival of America’s now 238-year experience in selfgovernment. Despite what she may feel, that 60 percent approval requirement is not there to frustrate school superintendents. Those protections exist because the people learned over time that excessive property taxes could literally tax families and businesses out of their homes and businesses. So they put a constitutional limit on total property taxes to protect the people, and then allowed that for any governmental body to raise property taxes ABOVE that one percent constitutional limit required a 60 percent voter approval. We also need to remember that while voters can adjust school levies every four years, the last bond issue was a 28 year debt com-
mitment on every property. Few of us will even be in our current home by the time a new bond program is paid off. I’d say that 60 percent approval requirement is a wise safeguard. The second reason I was disappointed in our superintendent is because she is responsible to see that our children also learn about our national and state constitutions and the laws that protect our freedoms so we pass that legacy to the next generation. If she doesn’t appreciate those safeguards, it’s hard to see how our future leaders will.
Eric Rohrbach, Redmond
Guest opinion writer has math wrong on bond I support the School bond and believe the guest author of April 4 has his facts and math wrong. First, Lake Washington School District schools can’t be compared to the poorlydesigned schools in the Monroe School District. The Monroe School District suffers from a lack of community support for bonds to build new schools. The budget compromises and restricted choices Mon-
roe has been forced to make should not be a model for Lake Washington. The new Monroe High School is disappointing. The school was partially built in 1999 with a $24 million bond. Its last section was completed in 2005 financed by a second bond for $4.7 million. Now, nine years after its completion, the high school uses eight portables for classrooms and the main building is still overcrowded. The industrial arts and the physical education spaces, the hallways and cafeteria are especially crowded. Athletic fields are subpar. Also, no one likes that the school looks an awful lot like the nearby prison. Additionally, a recent school inspection reported that the “cost consciousness (of original materials and construction) is showing.” The district is facing limited options for improving the high school.

ments state that from what she was able to view, McGinnis estimated the Muvi camera to contain about 86 videos with images captured up the skirt or dress of the female victims. “Some of the videos have multiple victims captured on camera, there are an estimated 93 victims captured on the Muvi videos I was able to view,” McGinnis wrote in her report in the court documents. “None of the victims appear aware they are being filmed and are not intending to participate in filming.” According to court documents, McGinnis noted that Raymundo used stairs, escalators or checkout lines as an excuse to be within close range of the female victims without arousing their suspicion. She wrote that the suspect’s face is also captured on film about 50 times throughout the Muvi video collection and his skin tone, hair color and facial features “are all consistent with Raymundo.” Court documents state that Raymundo has no criminal history record. Raymundo’s arraignment was Thursday. He pled not guilty and was put on an electronic home-monitoring system. Raymundo’s next court date is April 22.

DigiPen hosts reception for Redmond DigiPen Institute of Technology played host to the City of Redmond for the recent City Boards and Commissions Appreciation Reception held March 20. This annual event recognizes the hard work and contributions of board and commission members who volunteer their time and talents in support of the city. “Citizen volunteers are one of our city’s most valuable assets,” said Mayor John Marchione. “By participating on local boards and commissions, they make an important contribution to our future by providing input and making recommendations on various programs and issues. These groups represent the community’s voice and influence public policy and programming decisions that impact the entire city.” The City of Redmond thanks all of its Boards and Commissions volunteers for their time and dedication: Arts & Culture Commission; Civil Service Commission; Design Review Board; Redmond Disability Board; Human Services Commission; Landmark Commission; Library Board of Trustees; Parks and Trails Commission and Planning Commission. Board and commission members generally serve as unpaid volunteers, but the rewards can be gratifying: members meet other residents with similar interests. They learn about the city and help shape the future of Redmond. Being on a board or commission does require a significant personal commitment, however, so applicants should consider their ability to commit their time and personal energy before applying. To find out more about a specific board or commission, visit their individual web pages located on the city website at www.redmond.gov. Board and commission meetings are open to the public, so potential applicants are encouraged to sit in on monthly meetings. Meeting dates, times and locations vary and are available on individual web pages.
The City of Redmond continues to seek design ideas from community members about what they want the new Downtown Park to look like. The latest promotion is a wooden stake community art project designed to engage the public and encourage submissions of community members’ favorite park features. Inspired by artist Jill Anholt from British Columbia, Canada, the art project has about 1,000 brightly colored wooden stakes that have been installed in Downtown Park and will remain there through June 2014. Many of the stakes were painted by students at Redmond Elementary School and teens from the Old Firehouse Teen Center. Community members are invited to write their design ideas on a tag, which are attached to each stake. Everyone is encouraged to walk throughout the stake installation, read other participants’ ideas and get inspired to contribute their own thoughts on what the look and feel of the park should be.
Claim your stake in the Downtown Park In addition to the stake tags, community members can also give more detailed park design ideas by downloading a workbook that walks participants through a user-friendly format and is available online through April 11 on the city website at www.redmond.gov/ downtownpark. What Happens Next? The City of Redmond will continue to collect all of the park design preferences and suggestions gathered from the online workbook and wooden stake tags. The community’s input will help inform the development of three new downtown park design concepts, which will then be presented at Redmond Derby Days July 11-12. There, attendees will be able to vote for their favorite concept. For more information, contact Betty Sanders at 425-556-2328 or bbsanders@redmond.gov.
Human Services board seeks member The City of Redmond has an opening on the Hu-
man Services Commission for anyone who lives or works within city limits. The city is looking for a candidate interested in a broad spectrum of human service issues including basic services, health care, counseling, domestic violence and family support. The commission’s role is to advise the mayor and council on general human services issues and to make specific funding recommendations as part of the city’s budget process every two years. Desirable qualities of a commissioner include a strong interest in the issues, a willingness to learn and a passion for working to strengthen the city’s effectiveness in addressing these issues. The seven-member commission currently meets the second Monday of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Council Conference Room at Redmond City Hall, 15670 N.E. 85th St. All board and commission members are volunteers. Applicants must complete a community service application. The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on April 25. To apply, print out and complete the community service application at www. redmond.gov/Government/BoardsCommissions and either mail to the Office of the Mayor, City of Redmond, PO Box 97010, Redmond, WA 98073-9710 or fax to 425-556-2110. A copy of the community service application is also available in the mayor’s office on the fourth floor of City Hall. For questions regarding the Human Services Commission volunteer position please contact Alaric Bien at a1bien@redmond.gov or 425-556-2458.
gency response included 23 rescuers from RFD, Redmond Medic One, the Kirkland Fire Department, King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO) and their marine unit. While Redmond firefighters stabilized the kayaker with a rope from shore, two members from the Sammamish Rowing Club transported three firefighters in motorized boats to the victim. The rowing club just happened to be in the area, but canceled their outdoor rowing event due to poor water conditions. The 27-year-old male was quickly returned to shore
where aid crews treated him for mild hypothermia and was released on-scene after further evaluation and treatment. “We want people to enjoy the water safely,” said RFD Capt. Rob Torrey. “The water can be extremely cold and dramatically affect the reactions of even the strongest swimmer. We want to remind citizens that outside temperatures may be warm, but water temperatures are still low and conditions hazardous until later in the year.” The recent water rescue victim was not wearing a personal floatation device. When planning on be-
ing on the water, people should be familiar with local waterways and should always wear a personal floatation device and not go alone. The KCSO reported the water temperature during the rescue at 41 degrees. Rapid currents, unfamiliar rowing area, no life vest and inexperience all contributed to the incident. The RFD and KCSO respond to numerous water rescues each year, which often lead to injury and sometimes death. Local water safety knowledge and personal safety techniques can prevent incidents and save lives.

Redmond seeks design ideas
RFD urges water awareness As the spring weather continues to warm up and more people are out enjoying the sunshine, the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) urges citizens to be aware of water hazards.

On March 31, emergency crews responded to an overturned kayaker in the Sammamish River. The kayaker tipped over after entering an area of rapid currents and overhanging branches. The initial emer-

DigiPen honored by Princeton Review In its fifth annual report, The Princeton Review has named DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond one of the leading schools for the study of game design. The college admission services company ranked DigiPen No. 3 on its list of “Top Undergraduate Game Design Programs,” as well as No. 5 on its list of “Top Graduate Game Design Programs” for 2014. The Princeton Review based its selections on a comprehensive survey
of 150 institutions in the United States, Canada and abroad offering coursework and degree programs in video game design. As part of the survey, schools reported on a range of topics, including academic offerings, faculty credentials and graduates’ employment and professional achievements. The company also assessed schools based on program curriculum, facilities, career services, technology infrastructure and more. For the second year in a row, The Princeton Review has teamed up with PC Gamer monthly magazine, which will feature the top schools list as part of its May issue, now available. “For students considering careers in video game design, these are the ‘cream of the crop’ institutions to attend,” Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s seniorpublisher, said. “Collectively, they have graduated many of the field’s top developers, artists, designers, and industry professionals.” To learn more about the report, visit The Princeton Review’s “Top Game Design Programs” page.
Redmond schools honored John James Audubon Elementary, Rosa Parks Elementary, Benjamin Rush Elementary and Redmond High schools from Lake Washington School District (LWSD) have been recognized by the Washington State Board of Education (SBE) with English Language Acquisition Awards.

and Seattle Public Schools won awards, the highest number. The SBE created the Language Acquisition Award at its March board meeting to recognize schools whose English Language Learner (ELL) students are making the greatest progress toward the goal of becoming proficient in English, which is a stepping stone to career and college-readiness. “We are very proud of the hard work being done by teachers and staff members in our English Language Learner program throughout the district,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “ELL staff members help students to lay the groundwork that is essential for these students to access the district’s academic program and succeed in life beyond high school.” SBE Chair Dr. Kristina Mayer added, “Language acquisition is an indicator of school success and deserves to be acknowledged. We want to shine the light on what is working so it can be replicated across the state. The board will work with OSPI and other partners to support awardwinning schools in sharing their strategies and best practices.” A single ELL teacher is assigned to each of these schools with one instructional assistant (IA) assisting at the elementary level.

connected and thriving communities. As part of National Volunteerism Week this week, the volunteers received the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA). The PVSA gives U.S. presidential recognition to individuals who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service each year. The achievement is a way to inspire others to contribute to their communities through volunteer service and to make volunteer service a central part of their lives. AT&T employees in Washington dedicated more than 33,000 hours to volunteer work last year. “People matter — to each other, to our communities and to our company,” said AT&T Washington President Bob Bass. “This has been one of our core beliefs since AT&T was founded. We’re proud of our employees in Redmond for investing their time in our communities to make a difference. We believe our workforce, our business and the communities we serve are all stronger because of volunteerism.” The PVSA is issued by the president’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, a group created by President George W. Bush to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers make to the nation. This year the council is chaired by two-time Super Bowl Champion Darrell Green and former U.S. Sens. Bob Dole and John Glenn as honorary co-chairs. The council is composed of leaders in government, media, education, entertainment, business, nonprofit and volunteer service organizations, in addition to individual community volunteers. AT&T is a certifying organization for the PVSA and is responsible for verifying AT&T employee service hours, nominating potential recipients and delivering the award. The PVSA is a way to inspire others to contribute to their communities through volunteer service and to make volunteer service a central part of their lives. To be eligible to receive the award, AT&T submits a record of employees’ annual volunteer service hours to be verified and considered eligible for the award. AT&T employees are eligible after 100 hours of annual volunteer work. For more information on the PVSA, visit www.presi dentialserviceawards.gov.

Oakley launches tree-climbing business at Marymoor RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Tree climbers use the rope system Katie Oakley’s Tree Time LLC employs. Courtesy Photo let her use their trees for climbing. But she has to work around concerts and big events at the park and notify officials a week in advance. Oakley also has Kirkland-based Certified Arborist Tree Care LLC assess each tree before she facilitates climbing to ensure the trees are healthy enough. Once the trees are deemed climbable by the arborist and Oakley, they’re open for newcomers. “When you first get on the rope, you feel extremely uncoordinated,” she said. “One of the most enjoyable parts of facilitating is watching a child and a parent learn something new together. A lot of the time the parent wants to coach the child and then they get on the rope and they realize ‘oh, this is not as easy as I think.’” Climbers get 30 minutes of prepping and safety instruction before they strap themselves in a tree harness — unlike a rock climbing harness — and learn the rope maneuver technique, to which Oakley has set up prior. At all times the climbers are tied in during their hour-and-a-half-long climb. “This is different, it’s something you’ve never experienced,” she said. “All of a sudden you’re sitting on a branch and then you have to step off the branch. It’s like stepping off a building, the first time you do it.” Once climbers have climbed as high as they want, Oakley has about 10 minutes of quiet time. “There’s something amazing about sitting up there on the branch and being quiet — I don’t know,
there is something spiritual about it,” she said. “Once everybody’s on their rope and climbing, you can really experience the canopy and the sounds of it, the smell of it, take a moment to not be monkeying around in the trees and be noisy.” Climbers are then taught how to get down after they’ve gone up so that Oakley can ensure they’re as safe as possible. “I don’t want them coming down when I’m not relaying them and they’re not at the end of the rope,
1016328
Katie Oakley estimates she’s climbed about a couple hundred trees in her life. And now, the 24-year-old has created a business that teaches others to climb. “I want to reconnect people with nature so that it instills a more caring approach on their part,” said Oakley, who graduated from Juanita High School. “Especially in Kirkland, we all want to be green. But, well, why?” Her enterprise goes by the name Tree Time LLC. And her mission is to have people experience being in trees so that there’s a deeper understanding of why they should be protected. Oakley found her passion after she read a book called “The Wild Trees” for a forestry class at the University of Washington. The book described the adventure of climbing the redwoods in such detail that it made her want to try it herself. “I found this guy named Tim Kovar down in Oregon and I went and climbed,” she said. “I was already a teacher and my degree was in ecology and it all just kind of came together. This is what I want to do.” Working at Kirklandbased Angelfish Swimming as a swim instructor on the side, Oakley took a 50-hour course at Tree Climbing Planet in Oregon that taught her the ins and outs of tree climbing — a basic course, she said. After one year of practice, she took another 50-hour course, but this time it was to learn how to facilitate climbs. Although she launched her business last summer, her first open climb took place on March 23. Getting the appropriate permits from city parks has been somewhat of a struggle but she was finally able to work out a deal with Marymoor Park in King County near Redmond. “I’m the only one in the area doing this,” she said. “The City of Kirkland has told me at this time they’re not interested in pursuing tree climbing in their parks because it’s a risk.” But the Everett resident said, according to the Tree Climbers International, in the 30 years of climbing with the rope method she employs, there have been zero reported accidents. Ten months after applying for permits, Marymoor park officials agreed to
just in case,” she said. “It’s a totally independent exercise. You climb on your own on the way up and you can lower yourself down. It’s really a good confidence builder.” Oakley said there are different rope systems for different heights, noting that one of her highest ropes has been 70 feet high. Tree Time offers open climbs one to two times a month and has several scheduled this spring. She said almost anyone over the age of six can climb.
“One of the camps I’m working with is a special needs camp,” she said. “They work with kids with special needs, handicaps — anybody can climb, really.” Oakley said she also hosts children’s birthday parties in the trees. She’ll set up a tree boat, a hammocklike structure with four tie-off points, and as long as the group is small — four to five kids — children can open presents in the tree. Next season, spring/summer of 2015, Oakley hopes to expand her services to include overnight stays using the tree boat. She plans on taking two to three climbers out to Tolt River, near Carnation, for the overnight stay. “We’d have a campfire and a dinner kind of thing and then crawl up for the night,” she said. “It’s amazing to wake up in the trees. I get tingles just thinking about it.” Oakley said she’s spent the night in trees in the past with other climbers and is in the process of talking with King County officials on getting permission to do the overnight stays at Tolt River. Next year Oakley will also host the International Tree Climber Rendezvous
at the Pack Forest Conference Center, which is owned by the University of Washington’s School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. Aside from expanding her business services, Oakley’s five year plan includes working with more corporate offices, such as Microsoft and Google, and teaching more children how to climb at summer camps — possibly running her own summer camp, as well. But her real long-term goal is to open a forest educational center. “We’ve got ocean education centers … they have an orca education center right on the beach,” she said. “We don’t have anything like that for the forest.” Although she acknowledges there are ranger stations, she said her center would incorporate tree climbing as the core of the facility. “I don’t want to get into canopy walks, there’s a lot of canopy walks out there and there’s a lot of adrenaline stuff out there and that’s not what this is,” she said. “It’s a place to be, not a thing to do.” And with a bachelor in science degree in ecology [ more TREES page 12 ]

COMMENTARY
If you’re like many travelers, you get a little nervous when your airplane goes through some turbulence. And if you’re like a lot of investors, you may get somewhat jumpy when the financial markets are volatile. Yet flight turbulence probably isn’t as scary as it seems, and the same may be true for market volatility — if you know how to respond. Let’s look at some positive responses to market movements: • Don’t overreact to turbulence. Turbulence happens on most flights, but passengers are well aware that they can’t “bail out” at 30,000 feet, so they generally don’t panic. As an investor, you also need to avoid panicky behavior — by not taking a “time out” from investing. Over a period of decades, if you were to miss just a handful of the market’s best-performing days, your returns could be dramatically reduced. And the best days often follow some of the worst. So if you’re not invested in the market, you could miss out on the beginning of a new rally, which is typically when the biggest gains occur. • Balance your “cargo.” The ground crew properly positions an airplane’s cargo to maintain the plane’s center of gravity and reduce the effects of turbulence. When you invest, you also need to achieve balance by owning a variety of vehicles, including stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit. You’ll want your investment mix to reflect your risk tolerance, goals and time horizon. While this type of diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss, it [ more INVEST page 12 ]

can reduce the effects of “turbulence” — that is, market volatility — on your portfolio. Over time, your “cargo” (your investments) may shift, becoming too heavy in stocks or bonds relative to your objectives. Consequently, you’ll need to periodically rebalance your portfolio to ensure it’s meeting your needs. • Match your “transportation method” with your goals. If you are flying from New York to Los Angeles, you may experience delays or some changes in the flight plan — but your goal is still to reach Los Angeles as quickly and efficiently as possible. Consequently, you wouldn’t scrap the idea of flying and head to the West Coast on foot. When you invest, you will also encounter events, such as market downturns, that you feel may be slowing you down in your progress toward your longterm objectives, such as a comfortable retirement. But if your objectives haven’t changed, neither should your “transportation method” of reaching them. In other words, don’t abandon your longterm strategy in favor of quick fixes, such as chasing after “hot” stocks that
may not be suitable for your needs. • Maintain perspective on your “flight path.” When you’ve flown, you’ve probably observed (perhaps with some envy) some of your fellow passengers sleeping through periods of turbulence. In the investment world, these types of people are the ideal long-term investors — they know that turbulence, in the form of market fluctuations, is normal, because they’ve experienced it many times before. Their perspective isn’t on short-term events, such as volatility, but rather on the voyage toward their “final destination” — i.e., the achievement of their long-term goals. So when you fly, fasten your seatbelt and relax. And when you invest, don’t overreact to shortterm events. By following these basic guidelines, you will be a calmer traveler and a better investor.

Oakley said her big month will be April, as the focus is on Earth Day on April 22.

Festival of Color returns to Redmond tomorrow
For the third year, the Festival of Color returns to Redmond. From noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Redmond’s City Hall campus at 15670 N.E. 85th St. will transform into an Indian celebration filled with music, dancing and color. The Festival of Color announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. It promotes an atmosphere of social merriment and encourages people to find forgiveness with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind. The belief is that once everyone is drenched in colors, everyone resembles each other, thus losing their original self and treating everyone equally, as all differences dissolve. People take delight in throwing color on each other with lots of enthusiasm and fun. The festival is meant to free all of inhibitions so they can relate to others with pure joy. “The festival is considered an open celebration encouraging people of all religions, classes and ethnic background to join together
as one in our community,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “It’s a joyous festival that everyone should attend.” The Festival of Color is being organized with grant support from the Redmond Arts Commission by the Vedic Cultural Center (VCC). “We are pleased to partner with the City of Redmond again to offer the Festival of Color,” said Harry Terhanian, president of the VCC. “This festival is designed to appeal to the entire community, suitable for all ages. We have plans to develop this into a signature Redmond event.” The festival is modeled after the traditional Indian spring color festival, Holi, is rooted in Indian mythology and tradition and marks the triumph of good over evil. It is celebrated in India at the start of spring for pure enjoyment, with lighting a bonfire and play of colors. “We have some exciting content lined up for the community this year,” said Latha Sambamurti, Washington State Arts Commissioner and artistic director for the Festival of Color.
She said the festival will feature a countdown for the play of color, DJ Vinit Jain and other special guests, every half hour. There will also be a dance contest and a color contest, with prizes as well as food available for purchase. Colors can be purchased online at tinyurl.com/ kvk98fl. The Holi kit, which includes five bags of color, a plain White T-shirt and a snack item is $25. Online purchasers will be in a priority registration booth at the festival, with minimal wait time. The City of Redmond is dedicated to supporting the public through dynamic programs that deepen the experience of community. Redmond’s Arts Program has actively partnered with The Festival of Color for two years by providing a grant to support this engaging cultural event.

help, too. “We decided to become parent educators to fill the gap of information that was missing for parents,” said Estes. Over the years, they noticed a lot of mom-bashing happening on their Facebook page. In one situation, a parent had asked for tips on preparing her 10-year-old to be left alone. Within a few comments, it turned from helpful to hurtful. Parents were accusing this mother of neglect and endangerment. MamaCon focuses on mothers with kids between the ages of 4 to 14 years. Beth Caldwell has attended both MamaCons and will be going the third. As a practicing lawyer and mother of a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old, she values the time she gets to spend for herself. “When you’re a parent,

Moms are more than just moms, and MamaCon founders Kim Estes and Amy Lang are spreading the word. Estes and Lang run Redmond-based MamaCon. The event developed from their desire to help moms take the time they need for themselves, Estes explained. For some moms, it has been years since they had a day for themselves. “Some moms needed convincing that it was OK to leave their kids at home with the husbands. That’s how conditioned they were that their families could not function without them,” said Estes. In 2011, the two created MamaCon, a one-day event with speakers, sponsors and spa treatments. They have a

Beth Benincasa saw MamaCon as a day to take a break from her daily routine. With her days normally focused on her children, ages 8 and 10, she treated the day as a complete day off. “It’s the little things that make a huge difference,” said Benincasa. “Getting spa treatments isn’t something I would normally go out and do. But being able to relax and have someone paint my nails was fantastic.” This year’s MamaCon will be held at the Embassy Suites in Bellevue on May 17. Tickets can be purchased at mamacon.net.

425-312-5489 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
