School district board passes 2014-15 budget unanimously SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
On Monday night, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) board of directors unanimously voted to pass the budget. For the 2014-15 school year, the district’s budget will include a 6.7 percent increase in revenues, ris-
ing from $256.3 million to $273.4 million in its general fund. LWSD director of communications Kathryn Reith said the $17.1 million increase comes from various things, including $5.3 million from an increase in enrollment, as school districts receive
funding based on the number of students in the district. In addition, $2.5 million comes from increased levy receipts and $7.8 million comes from new state funding. The latter has been the result of the McCleary state Supreme Court decision, which requires the state
to more fully fund basic education. “Some of (the court decision) is starting to take effect,” Reith said. The court decision ruled the state was not meeting its obligation to fully fund K-12 public education as required by the state constitution.
While the LWSD budget has increased, the district’s expenditures also increased, by 5.1 percent. According to an LWSD press release, a significant rise in spending came in staffing to support increased enrollment. That need will require an expenditure of $3.8 million.
Other costs are increases in staff compensation, health care and pension costs, another $3.8 million and $2 million for specific programs from grants and self-supporting programs. Reith said some of the areas the increased [ more BUDGET page 3 ]

Microsoft employee and son experience a special STP ride ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
When he’s not working as a senior program manager for Xbox Engineering Services on Microsoft’s Redmond campus, Vijay Garg can often be found cycling with his son, Amol. On July 12 and 13,
the duo grinded it out together in the 200mile Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (STP) for the first time and raised $1,160 for the nonprofit Asha, an organization that focuses on education for underprivileged children in India. Amol took the fundraising reins and had a goal of

$750 in mind, but friends and family members’ donations helped guide him well beyond that amount. Vijay’s Microsoft workmates donated $500 and the company will match that figure. “It’s outstanding to do something that makes a reasonable difference in the community and the world,” Vijay said of Amol, 14, who fell off his bike on the first day of the STP and injured his right leg (while at the same time dealing with the blistering 95-degree temperature), but rebounded to finish the ride the following day. “Amol is persistent. It was definitely by no means an easy (ride).” Added Amol: “It was a huge deal to compete the STP, it was one of my lifelong goals. If there is a will, there is a way.” Amol said he had the desire, passion and support of his dad and fellow Team Asha riders to complete the mammoth task — and all for a cause that’s special to him. Amol feels that if Indian children receive a

He’s a boy,” Vijay said with a laugh about Amol’s aspirations. Overall, he’s glad his son — an incoming freshman at Skyline High School — spends so much time biking rather than getting sucked into social-media sites. Prior to participating in the STP, they spent 14 weeks biking — with Team Asha and as a duo — approximately 800 miles to prepare for the ride. The 18-member Team Asha also included several other Microsoft employees. “I feel very proud of him,” Vijay said of Amol. “Even I get inspiration from him.” Added Amol about his dad: “He helped me a lot during the journey. I think doing (the STP) with my father was a real bonding experience for me.”
solid education they can become self-sustained by earning degrees and jobs and could “break the cycle of poverty.” Sammamish residents Vijay and Amol (along with two Asha teammates) began their ride

Police Blotter The police blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical roundup of all calls to the Redmond Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Redmond Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Redmond, which gets more than 500 calls (emergency and nonemergency) per week.

In addition to being able to hire more staff, Reith said the district has also been able to reduce its athletic fees. “That’s been a financial burden on some of our

Sunday, Aug. 3 Theft: Redmond police took a report of a theft from a motor vehicle at 7:18 p.m. in the 7200 block of 164th Avenue Northeast.
To match service levels with actual revenues, King County Metro Transit must move forward with a first round of difficult and unprecedented service cuts Sept. 27, canceling, reducing and revising dozens of bus routes. Service will be canceled on 28 routes and another 13 will be reduced or revised. Riders should visit the Metro website to review the September cuts and reductions and begin to assess daily travel plans for later this fall. Redmond-area routes 250 and 265 will be deleted, and routes 238, 249 and 931 will be revised, the former two potentially in two phases. The scheduled cuts will help bring Metro’s spending within its existing revenues. The King County Council recently adopted service cuts totaling 349,000 hours between September 2014 (161,000 hours) and February 2015 (188,000 hours); specific routes for the February cuts will be reviewed and made final by an executive/council ad-hoc committee. The King County Council will determine future Metro transit service levels this fall as part of deliberations on the county’s 201516 biennial budget. The cuts and reductions come after six years of work

families,” Reith said. Previously, the district’s athletic fee for high schoolers was $275 per sport. Now, the fee will be $200 per sport and no individual student will pay more than $400, no matter how many sports they play. (The old cap per student was $550.) No family will pay more than $725 in athletic participation fees to the same school, down from the previous cap of $1,000. At the middle school level, the cost per sport in middle school will be $75, a reduction of $40. The maximum for an individual student will be $150, down from $210. The cap for fees for a family to the same school will be $225 at middle school, as opposed to $315 last year. LWSD increased its fees significantly in 2009 when it was hit with major budget cuts. Reith said based on community
input, families were willing to pay the higher fees in order to keep funding in the classrooms and not layoff teachers. “Our budget additions have been designed to help the district work toward its strategic goals,” said LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “We carefully considered how to put these funds to their best possible use.” LWSD went through a multi-phase process this spring to collect potential budget additions and review them. Reith said they surveyed parents on where they want money to go toward and developed the budget accordingly. The LWSD board first received a draft of the budget at its June 23 meeting. Reith said there were no comments from the public at Monday’s meeting and the budget passed with no changes.

by Metro Transit and the county to preserve daily service for riders in the face of decreasing revenues. Metro reduced spending, increased fares, charged temporary fees and made ongoing agency improvements to reduce costs. Service cuts were identified based on analysis of ridership productivity, where service is provided and who depends most on transit service. County sales tax revenue forecasts continue to show fluctuations in Metro’s key revenue source, which provides more than 50 percent of transit funding. In turn, Metro continues to budget bus service based on identified dependable revenue levels. Several ongoing discussions and efforts are underway to review operational costs, fare policy, customer service and future service reductions needed to bring spending within actual revenues. • Peer review by the American Public Transportation Association examined Metro’s programs, operations and policies
in the context of industry best practices and identified where we exceed and meet industry standards and identified approaches to improve program cost effectiveness. • Sales tax revenue projections: A new forecast July 18 shows sales tax revenue is growing less than predicted in March 2014 — reinforcing Metro’s conservative approach to budgeting based on money we can count on. Another forecast is due this month.
• Continuing to develop a 2015/2016 budget: The county executive will submit the two-year budget to the County Council Sept. 22 for adoption in November. • A Metro fares report to the County Council this month: This report discusses potential fare changes and how they would affect Metro’s revenue, ridership and other aspects of service. • Outside auditor will review Metro’s reserve policies and capital spending plans.

Change is coming for state health insurance exchange It has been nearly three years since Washington began to build its state-based insurance exchange and profoundly expanded Medicaid. It has not been an easily defined road nor a smooth one. Nothing like this had ever been done before, which led to a number of challenges in budgeting, forecasting and other elements prior to the exchange’s launch on Oct. 1, 2013. Now the exchange, known as the Washington Healthplanfinder (WHPF), has completed the open-enrollment period. The WHPF primarily offered only individual and family coverage, leaving small-business coverage until the next open enrollment later this year. We’ve learned a great deal and are already making changes for next year. First, new Medicaid enrollment met expectations. In 2011, the projection was that Washington would see nearly 1.5 million people, new and current, enrolled on expanded Medicaid. During the actual open-enrollment period, however, the state saw more new enrollees than expected, but fewer re-enrolled. Looking now to the upcoming open enrollment period, we on the WHPF board are still in the planning process. There are several major areas of planning including Medicaid, the renewal process and expanding the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) statewide. As in any startup organization, we focused on the core responsibilities of the exchange. Now the exchange is looking to reduce operating costs while improving various aspects of the consumer experience for Medicaid and private insurance enrollees. In the case of Medicaid — we are looking to Phil Dyer

Improving the transparency of the plans on the exchange is one issue we will be discussing to ensure that Washington residents choose the plan that suits them. Additionally, we are working to create a viable Small Business Health Options Program, with available issuers and plans. This program provides subsidies in the form of tax credits for eligible small businesses and those that are being required to provide health care for their employees. The next open enrollment period is going to be fast upon us, and the exchange board is moving rapidly to address the demands and challenges placed on it. Given the relative success of the Washington Healthplanfinder in the first year, I am optimistic that it will succeed in this first renewal year, providing more health care choices for Washington residents.
Phil Dyer, a Sammamish resident, is a board member for the state of Washington’s health insurance exchange.

change the current approach where enrollees must simply accept the plan assigned to them. Starting in April of 2015, we hope Medicaid enrollees will be able to shop for the plan that best suits them. In addition, I am concerned with more than 75 percent of our enrollment work being Medicaid. The exchange’s funding should be supported more from the Medicaid budget considerations by the legislature, as opposed to requiring the private marketplace to pay the major part of sustainability of the exchange. In preparing for the first renewal period for those who purchased plans on the exchange, we need to improve the way subsidies are calculated using income and family information. Additionally, we need to improve the information available to those searching for a plan that best fits their health needs. Currently, it can be difficult to find out if a plan covers your medicines, your doctor and other details of the plan. As a result, some found costs were higher and access was lower than they expected.

They won’t raise the minimum wage so the working class can earn a living wage. In Washington state the poor and the middle class pay a higher percent of their income in state taxes than do the rich, because of our regressive sales tax.

Tougher DUI laws needed We constantly see in the
news where a driver, high on marijuana or under the influence of alcohol, hits a pedestrian or another car, killing someone. They are charged with driving under the influence or vehicular homicide. They get a few years in prison and then are free to live their lives. But the person they killed is dead. So if a person kills another person with a knife, baseball bat or a gun, should we call it weaponry homicide and let them off after a few years in prison? I think not. A person is dead and any of the above weapons were used irresponsibility, dangerously or intentionally to harm or kill a person. We are too soft on those who kill someone due to uncontrolled use of the

“sheriff ” badge on her, giving her a sense of purpose and responsibility for a place she visited so often. After becoming such a familiar face at SoulFood, it is no surprise that the cafe held a life celebration event in her honor the day after she died from stab wounds to the chest sustained from a fight that occurred on July 18. After the incident, Redmond police arrested Redmond resident and suspect Daniel Haggart, who was charged with first-degree murder. He was arraigned on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty. A case setting hearing is scheduled for Aug. 20. Neil died July 23 after she was taken off of life support. She was 17. “It was and is an extremely traumatizing thing,” Brouillette said about the events of last month. Brouillette, along with his brother Tylor Brouillette — who also works at SoulFood — and the coffee house’s co-owner Kevin Oaks, were on the scene when Neil was stabbed outside the cafe. The shop was closed, but the three men were still inside taking care of their end-of-the-night tasks. In addition to memories of Neil’s large drink orders, Aaron remembers Neil seeking him out whenever he was having a tough time with things. Neil wouldn’t always say anything, sometimes just being there for him, Brouillette said. He said if she had been given time
to grow, she would have become a highly empathic person — someone who has the ability to understand and share others’ feelings. Alfredo Arnaiz, who also met Neil as a fellow regular at SoulFood, agreed that the teen was a caring person and a “complete sweetheart” despite the tough front she often put on for others. “She had this very strong personality,” he said. Neil knew what she believed in, but Arnaiz said she was extremely accepting of others. Tylor had known Neil for about a year. The former Marine described her as fearless and recalled with a laugh how during one of their first meetings, Neil stood up to him and called him “little boy.” “Very spunky individual,” Tylor said about Neil. “If she had an opinion, she let you know.” Although they did not know Neil that well, Oaks and his fellow SoulFood co-owner Makia Ensley both had good things to say about her. “She was friendly and personal with everyone,” Ensley said. Oaks added that Neil was, “very much a free spirit.”
He and Ensley both said SoulFood is a community space and a second home for many people so they didn’t even think twice about holding a life celebration event in Neil’s honor. The event brought in more than 100 people and included Neil’s parents and other family members, her friends from throughout the Redmond community and those who may not have known her personally, but had seen her around town. And because the event was held during SoulFood’s regular business hours, there were also customers who just came in for a drink or pas-
try and ended up staying for the event, Aaron said. After Neil died, her family had her organs donated. This included her heart, which surgeons were able to repair and harvest for a recipient, despite the fact that it had been damaged from the stabbing. “Her heart got to carry on, which is kind of amazing,” Aaron said. A fundraising page has been started at gofundme. com/bxz4so for Neil’s family. So far, $5,738 has been raised toward the $10,000 goal. In addition, Bank of America in Duvall is also accepting donations for the family.

Boys & Girls Clubs of King County (BGCKC) announced the launch of the Great Futures Campaign to mobilize the community in support of kids and empower today’s youth to achieve great futures. The local clubs — including one in the Redmond/ Sammamish area — are joining Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide to shed light on the critical role out-ofschool time plays in a child’s development. Through the Great Futures Campaign, the organization seeks to ensure that every child and teen has access to a safe place after school and during the summer where they can build the knowledge, skills and behaviors to put them on the path for success. Locally, BGCKC is celebrating the Great Futures Campaign in conjunction with its Rotary Club’s 60th anniversary. The Rotary Boys & Girls Club, located in Seattle’s Central District, is one of the oldest clubs in the county. Last week, the Rotary Club hosted an open house to celebrate its anniversary and thank the community for its support. “BGCKC has been serving the community with afterschool and summer programs for more than 70 years. When the nation prepares to go back to school this fall, we want to ensure that out-of-school is part of
the conversation,” said Calvin Lyons, CEO of BGCKC. “Through the Great Futures Campaign, we are advocating on behalf of kids and convening partners around our goal of guaranteeing that all kids have access to a safe, engaging and productive place to go between school and home.” Boys & Girls Clubs reach kids most in need with outcome-driven programs designed to increase their performance in the areas of education, health and character development. Research shows that when kids attend the club more frequently, the impact grows. So clubs create a fun and engaging environment that keeps kids coming back. Goals for the Campaign include: • Increase membership and access to clubs for kids who need a safe place to go after school and during the summer • Ensure successful transitions to middle and high school, and foster college- or career-readiness with 21st century skills • Motivate kids to be healthy through nutrition and health education, more access to healthy foods, avoidance of risky behaviors and a lifelong commitment to fitness • Engage youth in taking action in their community and the world, promote resilience, build character strength and develop the next generation of America’s leaders BGCKC is asking the public to help the organization reach more kids and put them on the path to a great future.

Summer Camp provides bands galore at Marymoor This weekend, the Marymoor Park summer concert series continues with 107.7 The End’s Summer Camp. Tomorrow, nine upand-coming acts will perform for a sold-out crowd. This year’s headlining band is Phantogram, an electronic rock duo from Greenwich, N.Y. The remaining acts will be Bleachers, Bear Hands, Wild Cub, Skaters, Sir Sly, The Orwells, Thumpers and Bad Suns. Garett Michaels, program director for The End, said Summer Camp features on-the-rise artists who are usually on their first or second albums. Previous Summer Camp artists include Neon Trees, Cold War Kids and fun. “They’ve become really huge,” Michaels said about the latter band. He said the idea is to offer concertgoers the opportunity to see many cool new bands at a low price. “That’s worked out pretty well,” he said about the model, adding that Summer Camp tickets usually run around $40. Michaels said the bands also recognize the value in performing for such a large audience as they would most likely be playing at smaller venues at this stage in their careers. In addition, the bands often enjoy the opportu-
Redmond Arts Festival set for Aug. 15-17 The Redmond Arts Festival will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 15-17 at Redmond Town Center (RTC), 7525 166th Ave. N.E. It is the city’s premier annual arts event, featuring 65
nity to meet and see their fellow musicians. Keegan DeWitt, singer for Wild Cub, said at these types of shows, he likes to see how others do what they do and learn from them. He said this helps him get re-energized to get back in the studio. In addition to DeWitt, Wild Cub has four other members: Jeremy Bullock on guitar, Harry West on bass, Eric Wilson on keyboards and Dabney Morris on drums. Morris is also the band’s producer. DeWitt said he is looking forward to seeing headliner Phantogram — who Wild Cub has performed alongside before — and learning as many tricks from them as possible. Michaels agreed that this year’s headliner is a group to watch. “Phantogram is really on the ascension,” he said, adding that the duo has also performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which has featured the likes of Arcade Fire, Muse, OutKast, Pharrell Williams and Lorde. When asked about which acts he is looking forward to see perform at Summer Camp, Michaels likened it to trying to pick a favorite child. “I’m excited to see all of them,” he said. This being said, Michaels admitted to looking forward to Skaters and The Orwells because those
bands are a bit of a throwback to 1990s-era alternative grunge and remind him of early 1990s bands such as The Strokes. And while the bands playing Summer Camp are still at the beginning of their careers, a few have played in the Pacific Northwest before, including Wild Cub. DeWitt, who grew up just a few hours south in Portland, Ore., said he and his bandmates performed at last year’s Capitol Hill Block Party and they really enjoyed it. “It was a blast when we did it,” he said. In addition to his regional roots, DeWitt said this area is particularly special for Wild Cub because they received a lot of early support from local radio stations — including The End — for their single “Thunder Clatter.” While Wild Cub is returning as a band to perform, Bleachers will be bringing at least one band member back to the area. The band’s frontman Jack Antonoff is also a member of fun. When The End approached Bleachers about this year’s Summer Camp, Antonoff was excited because he remembered the good time he had the first time with his other band, which Michaels said was great.

A state-wide autism advocacy group based in Redmond is holding an event in Kirkland for autistic children this weekend. The Washington Autism Alliance and Advocacy (WAAA) is holding a Day Out for Autism event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow at Juanita High School. The event includes activities designed to help autistic children. Jess Silvernail, WAAA’s primary organizer for the event, said the activities are intended to help the kids interact with adults and other children through various methods that engage certain senses, such as hearing and touch. One
such activity includes the use of music. “It’s been amazing to reach those kids to communicate with them and get them to engage with you,” she said. “You get into their world. A lot of the time the kids don’t speak, they have a hard time looking you in the eye. Then you have higher functioning kids that love everything that involves their favorite activity and actually speak to you, so it is a wide range of everything.” This is the first year WAAA has hosted the event. More information on the event can be found at www. washingtonautism advocacy.org.

It offers a marketplace to find or sell artisan and food products while enjoying recognized and emerging artists and live
musicians. “Downtown Redmond is filled with many new faces and cultures,” said City of Redmond Arts administrator Joshua Heim. “So Bazaar is about celebrating these changes through food and art and having a great night out with friends and family.”

CoderDojo comes to Digipen in Redmond
Students participate in the first CoderDojo at DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond last Saturday. Courtesy of Digipen Seattle CoderDojo, a free computer programming club for children 8-18, launched its “Eastside Edition” at Redmond’s DigiPen Institute of Technology last Saturday. A crowd of more than 200 made up of kids, parents, tech industry volunteers and guests turned out at the DigiPen campus to celebrate and learn. Beginners were introduced to computer programming with exercises from Bellevue’s Code. org, while intermediate students explored the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Scratch graphical programming environment. Kids ready for something more advanced worked on a JavaScript lesson taught by Seattle CoderDojo founder Greg Bulmash or brought in their own projects from school and home to get help from tech industry mentors.
“In the last year, we’ve gone from a handful of kids in the back of the Microsoft Store to filling multiple conference rooms at Amazon.com in South Lake Union,” said Bulmash, a content developer at Microsoft. “And we still had huge demand on the other side of the 520 bridge. When we started looking for an Eastside partner, we found a great one here at DigiPen.” DigiPen vice president of external affairs, Angela Kugler, said the decision to host Seattle CoderDojo was simple. “Even in the back yard of major tech companies, many students still don’t have the opportunity to learn programming in their schools or have the access to people who can teach them,” she said. “What Greg Bulmash has started here in our commu-
nity is the opportunity for every child to learn how to program in a free and accessible manner. The students who participate will gain valuable skills in computational thinking and problem solving that are essential in today’s time and will help carry them into the future, and that’s an effort we want to support.” Seattle CoderDojo will
be visiting DigiPen again on Aug. 16 and then beginning Sept. 6, will go to a weekly schedule. Meetups will run most every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon until winter break. There is no charge for attending and no experience required, but to avoid lines and having to turn people away, parents must register for free tickets in advance.

We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl?

If you’re a baby boomer, you’re at the point in life where, if you haven’t actually entered retirement, you’re at least approaching the outskirts. But if you’re like many of your fellow boomers, you may be experiencing more than a little trepidation over your financial prospects as a retiree. That’s why it’s so important for you to determine what steps to take to help improve your chances of enjoying a comfortable retirement. Just how worried are baby boomers about their future? Consider these numbers: Seventy-two percent of non-retired boomers think they will probably be forced to delay retirement, and 50 percent have little confidence that they will ever be able to retire, according to a recent AARP survey. Other surveys show a similarly bleak outlook among the baby-boom generation. Fortunately, when it comes to building resources for retirement, you have options. Of course, if you’re in one of the younger age cohorts of the baby boom generation, your possibilities are greater — you may still have time to take measures such as boosting your 401(k) and IRA contributions, reducing your debts and positioning your portfolio to provide you with a reasonable amount of growth potential. But even if you are pretty close to retirement, or at least close to the point where you initially expected to retire, you can act to better your outcome. For one thing, you could re-evaluate your planned date of retirement. If you really don’t mind your job and could extend your working life for [ more BOOMER page 11 ]

After reading about the Redmond Fire Department’s Pancake Breakfast, the staff put together a raffle basket (estimated value at more than $100) and chose the Redmond Fire Department (RFD) Benevolent Fund as the beneficiary. On July 31, four members of the RFD (pictured — Capt. John Keffer, Lt. Matt Peterson, firefighter Scott Carlson and driver Mark Mullins) came to the bookstore for the drawing.

Chef Howie supports buildOn movement Chef John Howie of Redmond presents specialty cocktails at each John Howie Restaurant benefiting the buildOn movement. For each cocktail purchased in August, $1 will be donated to buildOn and contribute to the construction of a school in Nepal. The mission of buildOn is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education. “BuildOn is a great organization helping
to improve the lives of children all over the world,” Howie said. “We are thrilled to be able to help buildOn in the construction of a new school in Nepal.” The money raised through John Howie Restaurants will help fund a trip to Nepal organized by buildOn in March 2015. The donation will contribute to construction materials for a school the organization will be building with the help of Spencer Smith (Steven D. Smith Builders) and his wife,
Yasmin. After the group leaves Nepal, buildOn will work with local non-governmental organizations and villagers to complete the school. The group also ensures that the school is staffed with teachers, has necessary curriculum, and monitors the school going forward. “We can’t think of a better partner than John Howie Restaurants, due to their dedication to philanthropy,” said Yasmin and Spencer Smith. “We are thankful for the generous support.”

ment vehicles. The longer you wait until you begin withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), the more time you are giving these accounts to potentially grow. (Once you turn 70 and a half, you will need to generally start taking withdrawals from a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar plan, but you don’t face this requirement with a Roth 401(k) account.) As an alternative to delaying your retirement — or possibly as an additional step you can take along with a delay — you may be able to adjust your investment mix to provide you with the combination of growth and income that can help carry you through your retirement years. You can also be strategic about which investments you start taking withdrawals
from, possibly allowing your portfolio to grow more than you had envisioned. Start thinking now about ways you can help yourself achieve the retirement lifestyle you’ve pictured. You may want to consult with a professional financial advisor who can suggest the strategies and techniques most appropriate for your situation.

The longer you work, the more you can contribute to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employers-sponsored account. You may be able to delay taking Social Security. You can start taking Social Security as early as age 62, but your benefits will be permanently reduced unless you wait until your Full Retirement Age (FRA), which will likely be 66 or 67.

Redmond leads Green Power Challenge the highest percentage of new participants — from available PSE electric customers — compared to the other two earns an additional $20,000. The winning city will be named 2014’s “Greenest Town in Puget Sound.” Each city will determine where its project will be located and how it will be implemented. The Green Power Challenge is a combined effort between the PSE Green Power Program and the cities, as well as local businesses and residents. The voluntary program gives PSE electric customers a way to guarantee some or all of the energy they use is matched with clean, renewable energy sources
from the West. All of the renewable energy in PSE’s Green Power Program is generated by independent producers of renewable power; it’s separate from those wind resources owned and operated by PSE. With two participation options, the average PSE residential customers can purchase 100 percent green power for approximately $10 to $12 a month based on their actual usage or buy a specific amount, with a minimum purchase of $4 per month for 320 kilowatt hours (kWh). Additional green power can be bought in increments of $2 for 160 kWh. Business customers can also participate and receive recognition benefits.

Redmond is charging ahead in the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) 2014 Green Power Challenge, which encourages residents and businesses in Redmond, Issaquah and Puyallup to join PSE’s Green Power Program. The winning city will be awarded as much as $40,000 to install a solar demonstration project. As of July 31, Redmond and Issaquah met their initial goals toward earning a $20,000 grant. Redmond’s goal was to reach 1,675 participants by the end of the year; the city has already hit 1,981. Issaquah aimed for 1,200 participants; they’re at 1,230. Puyallup is not too far behind from meeting its specific goal. The city that enrolls
Bear Creek School captures its 8th overall Scholastic Cup Bear Creek continued its run atop the state 2B classification by earning its eighth overall Scholastic Cup, which was presented to the school by members of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) and Washington Army National Guard at a recent assembly. The Grizzlies mark of 1,515 points puts them second all time in the 2B classification point total. The Grizzlies captured their seventh cup in the 2B classification. The Scholastic Cup is the WIAA’s most prestigious annual school
award. The yearlong competition recognizes the top school in each of the six WIAA classifications based on academic, athletic and sportsmanship excellence. Points are awarded in each of the WIAA/Dairy Farmers of Washington/ Les Schwab Tires state championships and also for academic state championships. In an ongoing effort to promote sportsmanship, the association incorporated a component that gives schools 25 points for no more than one student or coach ejection. Schools lose points
on a progressive basis for a second, third or fourth varsity player or coach ejection, and are disqualified from the scholastic cup if a fifth ejection is received. “This is an exciting time for the Association and for the member schools that won the WIAA/Washington Army National Guard scholastic cup,” WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese said. “The award recognizes the programs that capture the true essence of excellence in athletics, academics and sportsmanship.”

Senior Tech of Puget Sound provides one-on-one assistance SeniorTech of Puget
Sound (STPS) has been incorporated as a Washington state nonprofit corporation to provide technical assistance for seniors and any others interested. Technical support is available for Windows-based computers, Android-based smart phones and tablets, Apple-based smart phones and tablets and digital cameras. An all-volunteer group of experienced seniors will assist with technical issues at a pace that is adapted to senior learning skills. One-on-one assistance with computers and mobile devices will be available, starting Tuesday on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month (and the fifth Tuesday when there is one) from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the North Bellevue Community Center, 4063 148th Ave. N.E. A volunteer donation of $3 for Bellevue residents and $4 for non-residents is suggested. “Seniors had expressed concern about the loss of such technical assistance after other organizations offering similar services ceased operations. A group of us got together and decided we could fill the gap,” said Hal Mozer, chairman of STPS. STPS also plans monthly general meetings, open to all, to present updates on technology and to discuss technology issues of special interest to seniors.

We all know of a corporation or business that steps up and does good things in your community, whether it’s donating money or supplies, or providing volunteer help. Here is your chance to help give that company some much-deserved recognition and praise. Nominate that business for Washington’s highest civics award. The Office of Secretary of State is accepting nominations for a 2014 Corporations for Communities (CFC) Award, and the deadline to nominate a company is Aug. 31. Nomination forms can be found at http://www. sos.wa.gov/corps/corpsforcommunities/. Secretary of State Kim Wyman thinks CFC is a great program. “We are lucky to have many companies in Washington that are so committed to giving back in some way,” Wyman said. “Corporations for Communities is a great way for people to help recognize these companies that contribute to local causes. I’m proud that we can honor those businesses that make a real difference.” Wyman will choose one large and one small corporation from among the nominations. (Companies with more than 100

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.
