For Caroline Bridgwater and Stan Leszynski, high school has been about getting involved and making sure their last four years at The Bear Creek School were the best they could be — for themselves as well as their classmates.

The two graduating seniors challenged themselves to try new things and as a result, discovered passions and skills they never would have found otherwise and will take

with them as they move forward.

At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Bridgwater and Leszynski will take their first steps forward from high school at the Bear Creek commencement ceremony at First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue. They will be two of 56 seniors graduating from the school.

Burglars break into The Redmond Mac Store again, take 16 laptops Andy Nystrom anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Two months ago, burglars broke into the back room of The Redmond Mac Store and stole approximately 16 MacBook Pro laptops worth about $25,000.

Following that incident, manager Sean Callahan said Redmond Police Department (RPD) officers

suggested they reinforce the back-room door with an astragal metal plate, which they did.

At 7:07 a.m. last Sunday, four burglars broke through the back-room door again and stole 16 more MacBook Pro laptops worth about $25,000-$30,000, according to Callahan.

“Apparently they had time to comfortably work

on the door until it gave way, came in and made off with the loot in less than 30 seconds,” he said.

In a black-and-white store video released by the RPD, four individuals wearing hoods and beanies over their heads and masks entered the room and grabbed the items off the shelves and hastily exited.

Callahan said once the

door gave way, the store’s security system alerted police, who raced to the Redmond Town Center (RTC) store to find the suspects gone and all doors locked at about 7:13 a.m. Callahan added that he was notified of the burglary and remotely logged into his security cameras to view what happened.

The store manager and

an RTC spokeswoman said the shopping center has a security system and security guards, but the burglars went unnoticed.

Callahan noted that they will reinforce the backroom door again and look into other measures as to how they can keep burglaries from recurring.

The RTC spokeswoman said they will have a discussion with Callahan

and the police about the situation.

RPD spokesperson and officer Julie Beard said the investigation is ongoing and Callahan is asking the public to come forward if anyone knows who may be responsible or where to find the computers. Tips can be reported to the RPD by calling (425) 556-2500 or 911.

Sexually assaulted homeless youth will benefit from new Project360 Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

Homeless youth on the Eastside who have been sexually assaulted will now be able to receive more specialized services that have not been offered before.

These services are available through Project360, a partnership among the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) and a number of organizations and agencies. On the Eastside, those partners include Friends of Youth (FOY)

— which has offices in Redmond — the Redmond Police Department (RPD) and the Riverview School District and Learning Center.

FULFILLING A NEED

The idea for the project came when KCSARC officials realized there was nowhere this particular population could go to get help.

“There were services for homeless youth but not services for sexually assaulted youth,” said Mary Ellen Stone, executive director for KCSARC.

Olivia MacMaster, the coordinator for Project360, said the services will focus on four categories.

The first category is prevention, in which they will work to engage youth and parents to educate them on how to prevent sexual assault, MacMaster said.

After that comes treatment, meaning victims will be able to get therapy if needed. Project360, which serves young people ages 13-24, will also offer intervention in the form of case management and legal advocacy. And the

final category is response, which will involve multidisciplinary teams and training.

Stone said one of the reasons they started Project360 was because a high rate of homeless youth — about 40 percent — have been sexually assaulted, and in some cases, that may factor into their homelessness. The trauma caused by such incidents may also contribute to why some youths remain homeless, Stone said, because they do not want to go back home.

Now through Proj-

ect360, they will be able to address issues victims have — which in the past may have gone untreated — head on, she said. As a result, young people can get the tools they need to get out of chronic homelessness.

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS

Stone said Project360 came together after a successful pilot program KCSARC ran in partnership with YouthCare, a human-services organization for homeless youth in Seattle. She said they were

told it would be too difficult to provide therapy for sexually assaulted homeless youth as their situations are too unstable. But Stone said they decided to try it anyway and when they were successful, they decided to expand.

Their expansion plans meant heading across Lake Washington to the Eastside, she said, and FOY was the logical choice for a partner.

The way the partnership works is that KCSARC will provide the therapist — who will be based in [ more homeless page 5 ]

Gorton on Oso commission: lay out the facts

Jerry Cornfield

Establishing a commission to examine the causes and consequences of the Oso mudslide is taking longer than Snohomish County Executive John Lovick and Gov. Jay Inslee imagined.

In the six-plus weeks since Lovick announced the joint effort, they’ve mapped out a scope of work but not figured out how much to spend getting it done. The price tag could eclipse $1 million.

How to pay for it hasn’t been decided, though it’s a good bet the partner with the deeper pockets — the state — will cover the lion’s share.

Who will be on the panel, and who will run it, also isn’t clear.

Part of the difficulty encountered by these veteran Democratic politicians — and rookies in their current jobs — is a lack of precedent.

There’s no template to follow.

They didn’t make it any easier by calling for a commission to look into what happened and what lessons can be learned.

Commissions are typically associated with high-profile reviews following national calamities and tragedies. The product of some are ingrained in our memories and inscribed into school history texts like the Warren Commission and 9/11 Commission.

Thus by pursuing a commission, Lovick and Inslee raised public expectations for an outcome grander than what a legislative task force or study group might produce.

David Postman, Inslee’s communications chief, is one of a tiny number of advisers involved in setting up the joint undertaking.

He said it will be an independent commission to ensure people who have questions feel they are getting complete and truthful answers.

Inslee and Lovick will “weigh in” but not

handpick the chairman, he said. Neither he nor Lovick offered any names of those under consideration to either serve on or lead the panel.

As for its duties, the commission is likely to consider the history of the area before the March 22 mudslide, the causes of the slide and the responses to the incident by emergency workers, volunteers and residents, Postman said. It also will review regulatory policies and recommend changes, he said.

How deeply the commission will probe for a cause is not chiseled into stone.

Postman said this week they want hydrology and geology experts involved in the review and investigation. However, Inslee told the Everett Herald last month he didn’t think the panel would carry out a who-knew-what-when brand of inquiry.

As details get hashed out, the two political leaders may want to seek out former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton for advice, inasmuch as he served on the commission established after the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

Citing that experience, Gorton suggested a commission should focus on getting the history right and not play the blame game. Set out what happened in the past and, based on what happened, determine what improvements

might work in the future, he said.

“You don’t say someone is at fault. You don’t express opinions in a (final) commission report,” he said. Lay out the facts and let the public interpret them, he said.

Another piece of advice: the panel should be made of an even number of people to encourage collaboration and prevent breakdowns along political lines.

And, he said, find trustworthy and respected members of the community to serve. They will be better able to reach unanimity and that will enhance the credibility of the final product, he said.

Gorton’s ideas “make sense,” Lovick said.

“We need to know the history. We need to know the cause,” he said.

Though it’s taken longer to launch than anticipated, the community isn’t pressing him on it yet, he said.

“I don’t feel pressure but we need to get started,” he said. “We need to get answers.”

Transit cuts and the victims A state legislature that didn’t do the job they were elected to do has failed to designate sufficient funding for transportation in the state budget. There isn’t much new about that, but the aftermath of that failure to fund will be promised cuts in transit service throughout King County; more than 150 routes will be impacted, with 72 being eliminated altogether. The other 84 will have service reduced, running less frequently during the day or restricted to weekday “rush hour” service only. Unfortunately, the evening rush hour ends at 7 p.m.; I wonder how the populace would react if everyone, all family members, had to remain at home after 7 p.m. daily?

Thousands of individuals who rely on this transportation network for their only access to jobs, school, shopping and medical visits may suddenly find themselves without any options for public transit. Who are these people, and why does it matter? Those that will be hurt the most are the individuals who rely on transit because they have no other options. The working poor who can’t afford a car or must work at unusual hours, seniors who can no longer drive and people with all types of disabilities will suffer disproportionately, as they usually do when politicians are trying to decide which groups are least likely to impact their future re-election chances. Food-service employees, ushers at sports and entertainment venues, students attending evening school, health-care workers and others who work at odd hours will

be on their own when it comes to traveling outside of “normal” commuting hours.

Those who will likely see little impact are the individuals who can drive their own cars to a suburban park-and-ride lot to catch an express commuter bus or van pool to their jobs during normal business hours. Check out any park-andride lot within 75 miles of Seattle and you will likely find it full by early in the morning. Thousands of suburban and rural King, Pierce and Snohomish county residents commute into the Seattle metropolitan area every weekday, with their employers making significant contributions to the city and county treasuries. Many of those employers subsidize commute costs for their employees, and those are funds that go directly to the support of transit agencies. The commuters spend

their money on shopping, meals and entertainment, with significant tax benefits to the city and county coffers, as they have little or no transportation expenses. There is a reason why vanpool lanes are full of vehicles labeled with Metro Vanpool or employer logos. They don’t pay bridge tolls or HOT Lane fees, and avoid most of the frustrations faced by their fellow commuters who are making their slow way through morning and evening traffic jams.

Another negative impact that has not been discussed publicly is the reduction in paratransit service that normally accompanies any reduction in hours of fixed route transit operation or elimination of a transit route. Complimentary paratransit service is designed to provide next day door-to-door [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Each of the specialists will work closely with the youth.

MacMaster said the great benefit of this partnership between the two organizations is that each one has experience in either working with sexual-assault victims or homeless youth.

“You get the best of both expertise working together,” she said.

The role RPD plays in the partnership is as a community caretaker, said Cmdr.

Mark Hagreen.

He said officers will engage with homeless people — of all ages — if they need help and connect them with resources if that is what they want and need, adding that before Project360, RPD was already partnering with FOY and the Together Center in this capacity.

And while it is not illegal to be homeless, homelessness may lead to criminal behavior and Hagreen said this is another way police may come in contact with individuals.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY BETTER

Terry Pottmeyer, president and CEO of FOY, said

[ Letters from page 4] transportation to senior citizens and people with disabilities who cannot travel from their homes to a fixed route bus stop. Hours of paratransit availability follow the pattern of the nearest bus route and service is usually restricted to a service corridor within three-fourths mile of that route. Those who live beyond that distance may be ineligible for paratransit services.

When a bus route is eliminated, I would expect the same fate for the paratransit service availability for those who live within that service corridor. That poses a bigger problem for those of us who live in suburban communities, as paratransit service corridors are more likely to overlap in big cities where remaining fixed routes are closer together.

The legislature knew that if they failed to fully fund such critical items as education, transportation and other important programs, pressure to pick up the funding slack would be returned to the individual counties, communities, school districts or voters. Ideally, at least in the minds of elected officials, the

RHS Theatre Arts Department shines at awards ceremony Redmond High School’s Theatre Arts Department received several top honors at the annual 5th Avenue Awards on June 9 at Benaroya Hall in Seattle to recognize the best high school musical theater in Washington state.

Redmond’s production of “Forever Plaid” won outstanding performance by an ensemble cast. Senior Alex Gossard won outstanding performance by an actor in a non-singing role for his portrayal of RF Simpson in “Singin’ in the Rain.” Also recognized were junior Nora DeWater and sophomore Erich Schleck, who received honorable mentions for their choreography in “Singin’ in the Rain,” and Redmond Performing Arts Center technical director Ruth Barton for her lighting design in “Forever Plaid.”

the nonprofit’s inclusion in the Project360 partnership will make a difference in how quickly they can return homeless youth to a more stable situation.

FOY is still in the process of hiring the case manager for Project360 to work with clients who have been sexually assaulted. Pottmeyer said FOY has always supported homeless youth dealing with various issues, including sexual assault, but the new Project360 case manager will be specializing in the field.

“It’s a higher level of therapeutic support,” she said.

She added that the new Project360 case manager is among four new specialized positions to be added to the FOY Redmond office — which is open to people ages 15-22 during the day and turns into The Landing, an emergency overnight shelter for people ages 18-24, at night. The other specialized positions to be filled are a commercial sexually exploited children community advocate, a family reconciliation specialist and a new coordinator to manage the three positions. The latter will also manage FOY’s Safe Place Coordinator and its groundwork case manager.

Pottmeyer said with these more specialized positions, FOY will be able to offer more support to help young people overcome their challenges as they will be better informed and able to act

more quickly.

Hagreen said when it comes to homeless youth, they are aware that many of the individuals may have troubled backgrounds.

This can range from family related issues, being kicked out of the house or running away, to aging out of foster care, being victimized, mental illness or falling on hard economic times.

“It’s a social condition that we’re trying to improve,” he said about homelessness.

Hagreen added that in an effort to do this, an Eastside Homeless Committee made up of organizations and agencies from multiple Eastside cities has been formed so they can come up with a consistent approach.

public would gladly pony up a few hundred dollars per year, per family, to avoid cuts that might impact them personally. Thus we have seen this year’s series of failed initiatives, with even more coming this fall.

King County leaders have decided that a “divide and conquer” approach may work better than the failed countywide initiative, so have convinced the elected leaders of Seattle to float the same initiative again. This time they will restrict voting to Seattle, with other King County communities urged to take similar action, individually, in order to preserve their transit services. The arrogance of this proposal amazes me, as all county government and the services that government provides are supported by taxes collected from all citizens of the county. King County Metro is supposed to be a transit authority that serves the entire county, but the cuts being proposed for September would leave only a skeleton service or eliminate it entirely in some areas.

I pay property, gas and sales taxes, as do my fellow citizens, and we have an

expectation that the communities where we live will continue to be of the highest quality. Deteriorating schools, a skeleton of a transit network, and roadways that are unsafe to drive upon will do nothing to attract the families, employers and businesses that have made this a great place to live. I imagine that those characteristics are present in Detroit, but there is no excuse for them being present in Washington state.

Cost-saving measures should begin at the very top of the executive management team. Rather than continuing to victimize those who can least afford it, I urge the legislature and county government to work together and perform the jobs you were elected or hired to do.

Candidates hoping to get re-elected or replace those in office should keep in mind that I am not the least bit interested in their opinions on the federal health-care law or gun control. I want to know exactly how they can better my community, by doing the work that the office requires.

If they can explain that to me they may have my support.

Redmond responders lend a hand at Oso mudslide SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Cassady, who was part of the second rotation, participated in high-den-

A

sity secondary searches, which covered areas between the road and the Stillaguamish River.

He said they worked on the Darrington side of the slide and used search dogs and heavy equipment to sift through clay, mud and debris that was — in some places — more than 30 feet deep.

Whenever searchers came across human remains, Cassady said there was a very specific way they were handled. With all the search-and-rescue workers and machinery, things often got chaotic.

So when human remains were found, they would blast an air horn and all

work would stop. Cassady said people would remain silent as the National Guard brought the fallen off the field — forming a human chain, or a “corridor of honor,” to carry the remains out to the road to be dealt with properly.

“No matter where you were…everybody stopped, removed their helmets and paid honor,” Cassady said.

He said because he was on the second rotation, he understood that anyone they would find would not be alive. After 21 years of service with RFD, Cassady said he has a job that requires him to

risk his life to save a savable life. But when that is not possible, his duty is to provide closure for the families of those who have died.

Cassady said this was what he would be thinking about at 11 a.m., soaking wet in a seemingly endless field of mud, clay and debris. He said if it were his family member out there, he would want someone to find them.

Sanderson added that while they were in Darrington due to unfortunate circumstances, he is thankful he was able to offer his skills to provide people closure.

Your Sister’s Closet

LONG DAYS

The search-and-workers worked long days, which usually lasted more than 12 hours.

Sanderson, who worked as a rescue team manager, said they would usually wake up around 5:30 a.m., go to breakfast from 6-7 a.m. and attend a team meeting at 7 a.m. before heading out to search. They would usually stop around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., but searchers still had to go through a decontamination process after this before returning to camp.

In addition to this, Sanderson said as a man-

ager, he had 9 p.m. meetings with other managers to debrief, discuss what went well, what they needed to improve on and what they would do the next day. He was usually in bed by 11 p.m. or midnight.

Because he was in a managerial position, Sanderson said he wasn’t part of the search but oversaw rescue operations. Because of this, he wasn’t as physically taxed as Cassady and the other search-and-rescue workers. But that didn’t mean Sanderson wasn’t tired at the end of the day. [ more OSO page 7 ]

On June 3, a group of firefighters and paramedics with the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) were recognized at the June 3 City Council meeting for their response to the Oso mudslide disaster in March and April.

A total of seven Redmond firefighters and paramedics deployed after a mudslide hit the towns of Oso and Darrington on March 22.

Six of the seven responders were dispatched with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search and Rescue Team Task Force 1 (USAR-TF-1) in King County. These responders — Capt. Don Sanderson, firefighter and paramedic Lafond Davis, Capt. James Swift, Lt. Drew Cassady, Lt. Ralph Kratz and firefighter and paramedic Skip Boylan — worked at the disaster site and were assigned duties that supported the search efforts during their deployments, providing disaster leadership and medical support.

In addition to these six, RFD firefighter Ernie Zeller also responded as a member of the Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team (HRT). He rescued seven people during the initial response and rescue efforts.

The RFD responders were deployed in two separate rotations. The first rotation was March 24. The second rotation came on April 4. Both rotations were about two weeks long.

bombings,” he said. “The men and women who deploy at a moment’s notice sacrifice time with their own families and local needs to be a part of the international disaster response community.”

He said these experiences bring a high level of expertise and competencies to the fire department when disasters like the Oso slide occur locally.

“I’m extremely proud of the USAR team members and the dedication they contribute to training and responding outside their regular duties in the fire department,” Smith said.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione is equally proud.

“As a city, we value service to the community,” he said. “When a neighboring community was in need, we were happy to be able to provide assistance to the towns of Oso and Darrington.”

Marchione added that having these members here within the City of Redmond provides a level of comfort knowing they have well-trained individuals capable of handling these types of major incidents with the “utmost professionalism.”

Three community organizations in Metropolitan King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert’s district were approved recently to receive a retired King County Metro van.

Hopelink, Mt. Si Senior Center and the Boys and Girls Club of Redmond/ Sammamish are the three recipients in District 3.

Late last month, the County Council unanimously approved the

transfer of retired Metro vans to provide transportation assistance to local governments, community programs, senior citizens and young people.

“I’m so pleased that we are able to donate the vans to these very deserving groups who do so much for so many on the Eastside. I know the vans will be wellused for many years to serve seniors, boys and girls and low-income and disabled populations on the Eastside,” said Lambert.

Since 1996, the County Council has transferred more than

and hear what they have to say,” he said.

DIEBLER is all about positivity

When Diebler came to RHS from Reno, Nev. at the start of her sophomore year, she felt lost in a sea of Mustang 10th-graders who already knew each other from junior high.

She shone academically in Reno and continued that at RHS, but it was tough to break into the social scene. It took about a year for her to feel comfortable at RHS. The situation “taught me to be resilient and come back from what happens in your life and see the positive in things,” said Diebler, now age 18 with a cumulative 3.6 high-school GPA and headed to Bellevue College in the fall as the first member of her family to attend college.

She added that moving on to the University of Washington is in her future.

As a junior, Diebler took on the role of new student ambassador for the associated student body (ASB) and began helping newcomers find their place on campus and giving advice to them along the way.

www.redmond-reporter.com “I like meeting different people and [ grizzlies from page 1]

it’s cool to help get them integrated into such a great place as Redmond,” said Diebler, who plans to study psychology and business in college and maybe join the Peace Corps someday. “No matter what I study, I want to be working with people.

Helping people in their relationships and getting to the core of the issue has always been super fascinating to me.”

While on ASB, Diebler has helped put on assemblies, dances and fundraisers, including toy and food drives and the Color Run for Heart with the American Heart Association Puget Sound.

“Being in leadership gives you insight into the workings of the school,” she said.

“You see all sides of the spectrum and you learn real-world stuff ” like interacting with administrators, local businesses and handling money.

Like Akker, she’s had a full plate of activities and often gets stressed out, but everything they’ve done will benefit them in the long run, she said.

Both Akker and Diebler agree that RHS was the ideal place for them to learn and bond with others.

“It’s genuinely a family here,” Diebler said. “The spirit here is pretty special.”

PUSHING THROUGH PAIN AND UNEXPECTED SKILLS

Leszynski has rarely met a school club or activity he didn’t want to try.

While at Bear Creek, he said he was able to “dip (his) toes in a lot of different waters.” While the 18-year-old Redmond Ridge resident didn’t stick with everything, there were a few activities he ended up diving in to with both feet.

Athletics played a large role in Leszynski’s high school career. He spent four years on the boys varsity soccer team.

“State champs this year!” he cheers as he begins talking about the team.

“Whoo!”

Looking back on all his years on the team, Leszynski said this last year stands out in particular — and not just because they won the state title. He said everyone on the team wanted to succeed.

Leszynski was no exception.

He played in the district finals with a separated AC joint and torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, which carried on to state. But this didn’t stop him as it was his final year at Bear Creek.

“I have to play in this game,” he said about his thoughts at the time.

Leszynski said doctors thought the injury would heal after a few months without surgery, but when track season came along, it was clear his shoulder had not healed. So just as he did during the soccer postseason, Leszynski, a pole

Redmond students shine at music competition

body (ASB) as a class representative. As a sophomore and junior, she was the ASB treasurer. And for her final year at Bear Creek, she went for the highest office in student government: president.

“I never really do anything halfway,” Bridgwater said about working her way up in office. “Coming into senior year, I wanted that level of involvement in the school and responsibility.”

It was a responsibility the 18-year-old Redmond resident took very seriously as she has spent this last school year working with the rest of the Bear Creek ASB to achieve its main goal of promoting school spirit and school pride.

Bridgwater, who has been at Bear Creek since fourth grade, said the biggest piece of proof that they accomplished this goal was the boys basketball team’s run at the state tournament in March. The team finished third and Bridgwater said even though the tournament was in Spokane, the Grizzlies had a large fan base travel to eastern Washington and stay in hotels for multiple nights to show their support as a unified community.

And while Bridgwater — who also spent four years on the girls varsity soccer team — has been heavily involved in school activities, it was outside of school that she found something she truly loved.

During the summer before her junior year, she began volunteering at EvergreenHealth in Kirkland. She began working at the information desk but eventually branched out to the hospital’s maternalfetal department and breast health center. At the same time, Bridgwater was taking a biology class, which she ended up really enjoying.

And it all clicked.

“Things merged together and I just realized my passion for health care,” she said, adding that medicine was never something she had considered before this as she was always more interested in the humanities-

related subjects, not science.

Next year, Bridgwater will be attending the University of Washington and plans to study biology and physiology with a pre-medicine focus. At this point, she said she is not sure of a specific career path as there are so many necessary careers in the field.

Bridgwater said she is excited about what’s to come but she is also sad to be leaving Bear Creek, saying she will miss the community.

“This family that I’m leaving here is a lot like leaving my actual family,” she said.

vaulter, powered through — with the help of a lot of ibuprofen. He survived and just a few weeks after state (where he placed sixth) on June 6, he had surgery on his shoulder.

In addition to competing on the athletic field, Leszynski spent his high school years competing on the academic field as a member of Bear Creek’s forensics — or debate — team.

Leszynski joined the team halfway through his freshman year, saying as a jock, he wanted to try something that could help him off the field.

And help, it did.

Leszynski said debating helped him with his public speaking skills, but it also helped his writing skills as he had to learn how to convey his opinion “on the fly.”

Being able to get straight to the heart of issues has cut his writing time in half, he said.

Leszynski also got up to speed on many current events and issues. He said he got confident enough in his knowledge on various subjects that he was able to have conversations with his parents’ friends and other adults.

Next year, Leszynski will attend California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He said he plans to study business but is not sure what his focus will be yet.

Like Bridgwater, Leszynski said when he leaves Bear Creek he will miss the community. As a “legacy” senior, he has been at the school since kindergarten.

And during those 13 years, he said he has really gotten to know the people at the school, which he will not immediately have at Cal Poly.

“I have been through everything with them,” Leszynski said about his classmates.

(Redmond’s Overlake School declined to participate in the senior spotlight because school officials didn’t want to single out individual graduates.)

June is a popular month for weddings. If you’re getting married this month, you no doubt have many exciting details to discuss with your spouse-to-be. But after you get back from the honeymoon, you’ll want to have another discussion — about your finances. It might not sound glamorous, but couples who quickly “get on the same page” regarding their financial situation are actually taking a step that can help them immensely as they build their lives together.

As you start talking about your finances, be sure to cover these areas: • Separate or joint checking/savings accounts — Some couples create joint checking and sav-

ings accounts, others keep everything separate and still others find a middle ground — joint accounts along with smaller, separate accounts. There’s really no one “right” way for everyone, but whichever method you choose, make sure you’re both aware of where your money is, how it can be accessed, and by whom.

• Debts — Both you and your spouse may be bringing in debts, such as student loans or credit cards, to the marriage. You don’t necessarily have to do everything possible to get rid of these debts immediately, but you should set up reasonable payment plans that will allow you to lower your overall debt load so you can free up money to invest for the future.

• Spending and saving — Newlyweds are often surprised to discover how different they are from each other in the area of spending versus saving. You don’t have to try to radically change each other, but you both need to be aware that your spending and saving decisions now have greater consequences than when you were both single. To illustrate: If one of you is more of a spender and is used to running up big credit card bills, these actions can clearly affect both of you. To avoid problems of this type, you will need to communicate clearly with each other • Goals — It’s important for married couples to clearly establish their financial goals. Do you want to purchase a house? If so, when? If you’re going to have children, will you want to help them pay for college?

When do each of you want to retire? And what sort of retirement lifestyle do you have in mind? By answering these and other key questions, you’ll be formulating a set of goals. And from there, you can devise a strategy for attaining these goals.

Finances are an important part of any marriage. By communicating regularly and working together, you and your spouse can build a solid financial foundation for your lives together.

For most people living in townhomes with postagestamp yards, apartments or condominiums the phrase we have embraced is Mies van der Rohe’s “Less is more.” For all of us, breeders around the world have been focusing on selecting trees to fit containers or the small back yard. Trees are becoming more versatile and therefore, useful. And heck, Father’s Day is Sunday, so why not consider buying dad a tree? Do we need any more reasons to think about these trees? Nope.

If we are thinking small — container small, that is — there are several Japanese maples that fit in containers. “Waterfall” is a pendulous slow-growing red-leaved maple. “Goshiki Kotohime” tops out at 6 feet.

Perfect for the large container on the patio, this maple has tiny leaves that appear variegated in spring in cream, pink and red. As the summer rolls in, they green up and the turn orange-red for fall. This tree is hardy down to minus-5

degrees Fahrenheit. And one more for containers is “Red Pygmy.” Its finely dissected leaves contribute delicate, lacy texture from long separated segments reaching almost to the base of the leaf. With more sun, the leaf color deepens from burgundy to a deep purpley cabernet color. “Red Pygmy” may be small in stature, reaching only 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, but with that compelling color, it’s a giant.

“Viridis” with its bright chartreuse leaves take full sun or shade. This tree is dome shaped, and depending upon how high it’s grafted, can either appear to be a short (5 feet) mushroom-shaped tree or a mounding almost shrub-like

Guest column

form staying closer to the ground. The higher grafted specimens are generally more appealing, creating the illusion of a tree with that beautiful dome. It’s cultural versatility is matched by its beautiful dissected leaf and bright color; the vivid red fall foliage is breathtaking. “Viridis” is a winner “tall” or small.

“Ojishi” is suitable for bonsai culture. Named for the mythical lion in Japanese tales, its small leaves turn bronzeorange in fall, reminiscent of a lion’s mane. Great in containers, it’s easy to prune and train.

And, if you missed the “Hearts of Gold” Redbud (Cercis “Hearts of Gold”) released about five years ago, you will see it is stunning even without the blooms. A hybrid from our native Cercis canadensis, it has yellow — almost chartreuse leaves, and bright, tiny magenta redbud blooms in spring. It is altogether perfect in the small yard — only 20 feet tall in 10 years and about the same wide.

Redbuds are easily pruned, however, so don’t let globose scare you.

That should get you started.

Happy gardening!

‘Sky Painting’ covers Central Connector parking lot The parking lot within the Redmond Central Connector (RCC) recently reopened with the newest public artwork, “Sky Painting” by John Fleming.

The entrance to the parking lot is located off of Bear Creek Parkway near Leary Way Northeast.

“Sky Painting” is temporary artwork that rolls out the welcome mat to downtown residents and visitors. As part

of a holistic strategy to create a vibrant downtown with a healthy commercial and cultural scene with strong transportation connections, the piece transforms a giant surface parking lot that measures 120 feet by 270 feet into an art destination.

“Redmond is a community that is pulling together to create a vibrant urban downtown, including artists,” said City of Redmond parks and

recreation Director Craig Larsen. “What makes ‘Sky Painting’ so exciting is that it changes a parking lot into an artistic vision. Now everyone can see how exciting Redmond is becoming from the moment they arrive.”

Fleming combines art, architecture and conceptual/ environmental ideas into art projects. Many of his projects are inspired by mixed and recycled media.

It’s like waking up on vacation.

Every day.

You know the feeling. First, there’s the ridiculously long stretch.

Then there’s the “What am I going to do today?” Which is followed with plans of fun, adventure, socializing, exercise, dining, and whatever you can imagine.

Mets select RHS graduate Conforto in first round of draft

Redmond High graduate Michael Conforto swings away in 2011. Courtesy of Matt Campbell, www.sportspixs.com

Michael Conforto, the Redmond Reporter’s male athlete of the year in 2011, was a first-round, 10th overall selection by the New York Mets in the Major League Baseball draft last Thursday.

The 21-year-old Oregon State University junior outfielder hit .345 and had seven home runs and 45 RBIs for the Beavers this season, according to PAC12.com. He was named PAC-12 player of the year for the second straight season and is a three-time All-American.

According to Amazin’ Avenue, the Mets’ SB National blog: “It’s difficult to say how he’s going to move through the system, but he’s a polished college player,” said Paul DePodesta, the Mets’ vice president of scouting and player development. “He fits our MO so well.”

During his senior year at Redmond High, Conforto was a crucial part of the Mustangs’ fourth-place run at the 4A state tournament and was the Mustangs’ starting quarterback. He sported a 3.669

In a 2011 Reporter article, Conforto thanked then-football coach Jeff Chandler and current baseball coach Dan Pudwill and all the other coaches that helped him throughout the years. “My friends, my family and especially my parents,” he added to his appreciation list.

“I’ve looked up to a lot of people and I feel like I’ve had really good role models. People were pushing me in the right direction, and I’m really thankful for all the instruction and direction I’ve been given over my high school years. I owe it to a lot of different people.”

As a Little Leaguer, he helped lead the Redmond North All-Stars to Williamsport, Pa. for the World Series back in 2004.

His mother, Tracie Ruiz-Conforto, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in synchronized swimming, and his father, Mike, is a former linebacker at Penn State.

1970s, Albom was drawn to his sociology professor, Morris Schwartz. On graduation, he vowed to keep in touch with him, which he failed to do until 1994 when he saw a segment about Schwartz on the TV program Nightline and learned that he had just been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. The story chronicles 14 Tuesdays spent getting reacquainted with his professor, who was succumbing to ALS, a neurological illness that steadily leaves “a man frozen inside his own flesh.”

City honors police department employees The City of Redmond recently handed out its All Star awards for 2013.

These are the Redmond Police Department (RPD) recipients: Nicole Rogers received the “Police Department Civilian of the Year.”

Rogers coordinates the Volunteer Program and False Alarm Reduction Program. She also is a member of the Community Outreach Team and keeps many of the community programs organized.

Officer Kim Corbray received the “Lt. John Miner Excellence in Community Policing Award.” Corbray is the new school resource officer at Redmond Middle School.

Officer Julie Beard received the “Officer of the Year Award.” Beard is the neighborhood resource officer and is involved in nearly all aspects of the police department.

Bonnie Setzer received the “City Supplemental Employee of the Year.”

Setzer is a member of the Records Division and performs numerous duties.

Overlake student starts Community Lacrosse Project Overlake School eighthgrader Garrett Dawson recently started the Community Lacrosse Project as a means to get lacrosse sticks to those who can’t afford one. Visit http:// communitylacrosseproject. webs.com/ According to his site: “I plan to collect the equipment by asking local teams if they have any extra unneeded sticks for donation. I am a middle school lacrosse player in the Redmond/Woodinville, Washington area, and this

is a project for school, but this is something that is important to me and I feel that the local community would benefit from this.

“This project is important to me because with lacrosse growing so fast, especially in this area, more equipment means more players. Sports can also be used as means to improve one’s lifestyle and stay healthy. Playing sports is a great way for kids to learn teamwork, discipline and camaraderie. They are also a positive use of after school time and can keep people out of violence.

Some don’t play sports because of cost, and that is why I’m working to eliminate that for some people.”

PTSA honors Redmond High students At the Lake Washington School District’s (LWSD) annual PTSA Council Scholarship reception on June 2, the Lake Washington PTSA (LWPTSA) Council recognized three Redmond High School (RHS) students and two staff members at Redmond schools with awards.

RHS student Meghana Noonavath received the RHS Award and Athena Gordon and Kaitlin Harrison both received the LWPTSA Council Award At-Large.

Staci Allen, a teacher at Juanita High School and Emily Dickinson and Elizabeth Blackwell elementary schools, and Emily Moulton from Albert Einstein Elementary School, both received staff scholarships.

The LWPTSA Council began its scholarship program more than 30 years ago to assist graduating seniors with their college education. In 1990, scholarships were added for district staff to help defray the costs of continuing education.

Funding for these scholarships is provided by the 41 PTA units in LWSD and members of the community.

Each PTA makes an annual donation to the scholarship fund and also contributes a themed basket for the council’s Basket Auction, which is held the first Thursday in December. All proceeds from the auction go directly to fund the scholarships.

Student recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and community service. Teachers are selected on the basis of dedication to students, educational goals and service to the community.
