Former Redmond Police Department (RPD) chief Steven Harris, who spent 40-plus years in law enforcement, died in a head-on car crash at around 10 p.m. on Sunday night. Harris, 68, was driving a Ford Explorer, which collided with a pickup truck driven by a 16-yearold boy along Redmond-Fall City Road at 244th Avenue Northeast, according to a Washington State Patrol press memo. Both drivers died at the scene. The boy — identified by family

and friends as Taylor Griffith, an Eastlake High School student — was driving eastbound and struck Harris’ vehicle, which was traveling westbound. The pickup continued eastbound in the westbound lanes and struck a Mercedes and rolled over on its side in both lanes. Harris’ wife, Margaret, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and is in critical condition. The 68-year-old driver of the Mercedes wasn’t injured. Redmond-Fall City Road near 244th was reopened at about 6 a.m. on Monday. The crash is under investigation. Harris retired from the RPD on

March 31, 2009 after 28 years of leading the department. At that time he was the third-longestserving police chief in the state of Washington, with his tenure beginning in 1981. “Police are always eager to go to work. I’m really proud of the department at all levels,” Harris told the Reporter prior to his retirement. Current RPD Chief Ron Gibson, who took over Harris’ position in April 2010, spoke to the Reporter on Monday morning in the police department lobby. “He was very supportive of me as coming into an agency he’d [ more HARRIS page 7 ]

The City of Redmond’s construction project on 166th Avenue Northeast has some residents concerned about whether the changes will actually improve things along the road. The project extends from about Northeast 85th Street to about Northeast 100th Street and consists of construction crews converting the road from four lanes to three lanes — one in each direction and a center leftturn lane. Additions to the road include bike lanes in each direction and pedestrian-activated rectangular rapid-flashing beacons and new crosswalks at Northeast 91st and 95th streets. Construction began July 14 and the main work is scheduled to be completed this weekend. “Our goal was to have it done before school starts,”

said City of Redmond construction project manager Patty Criddle, though she added that details such as installing signage and beacons will be complete in October.

TRAFFIC CONCERNS

Mike Collins, Jeani Risch and Mike Ma — residents who live on Northeast 87th Street off of 166th Avenue Northeast — all think converting the street from four to three lanes is a bad idea. They said right now, with two lanes in each direction, traffic can get backed up for blocks — and when a bus makes stops along the road, it gets even worse. “It stops the entire flow of traffic,” Ma said, adding that he has seen traffic backed up as much as 15 cars. Reducing the number of lanes would just make it worse, he and his neighbors said. Collins said there have [ more TRAFFIC page 6 ]

allow parents the choice to transfer their students to another school that is not in improvement. Reith said there are five Title I schools in the district — two of which are in Redmond (Redmond and Albert Einstein elementary schools). “We are not a highpoverty district,” she said. In addition to the allowing students to transfer schools, Reith said the district must also provide transportation for the students as well as supplemental educational services such as tutoring at in improvement schools. NCLB requires districts to set aside 20 percent of a school’s federal Title I funding to pay for these services, she said. “We would have much more flexibility with our money without that sanction,” Reith said. Non-Title I schools that are in improvement will not be affected financially, she added. Schools that are in improvement can also be labeled as “failing,” which Reith said is a “very simplified label” because they are against artificial standards. “It’s a bit frustrating,” she said. Reith said these labels do not give parents and the school communities the full picture of what is going on at the school, what things are going well and what challenges they are facing. Pierce agreed. She said as superintendent, she knows all of the hard work going on in schools and all over the region to address the needs of all students. Pierce is also one of 28 superintendents throughout the Puget Sound area rebuffing the “failing” label, calling it regressive and punitive. “Sending out letters that label schools receiving Title I dollars as failing because 100 percent of their students are not meeting standard is part of antiquated accountability system under NCLB that fails to adequately and accurately describe student achievement efforts and results,” she said.

Tackling Redmond traffic issues

Mike Collins raises some important issues in his letter concerning the conversion from four traffic lanes to three on 166th Avenue Northeast. I understand that it can take a long time for city projects to be finished, and it has been four years since consideration of the completion of the conversion process on 166th was started. At the several public meetings there was initial skepticism about the plan until the successes of the Northeast 85th Street conversion and the upper 166th conversion were reviewed. With two lanes in each direction, any left turning vehicles simply block all traffic behind in the left lane, and buses or slow moving vehicles in the right lane impeded that traffic. The initially counterintuitive advantage of the three lanes is that left turning vehicles are removed from traffic. One of the prime benefits of the four to three conversion is for motorists entering 166th from side streets and turning left. Currently, with four lanes, a left turning vehicle has to have three clear lanes to enter traffic safely. Experience has shown that vehicle throughput is increased, perhaps at a slightly lower speed with one through lane in each direction. As far as southbound bicyclists are concerned, there isn’t really much change. Bicyclists currently use the right southbound lane. The same speed limit applies to bicyclists as to cars. Our experience on the much steeper Northeast 104th Street down slope off Education Hill is that bicyclists don’t ride at excessive speeds or lead to accidents. Bike lanes keep bikes out of traffic lanes and off the sidewalks. Having never actually been able to ride all the way up 166th to the top from Northeast 85th Street, I cannot comment on the visibility problem in northbound bike lanes. Mr. Collins is understandably frustrated by the slow pace from public hearings to completion. I think it is a valuable lesson not to make final decisions on projects unless you have the money to build them. We face a similar issue on the Redmond Way/Cleveland Street couplet conversion. That project, now millions over budget despite scope reductions, is restricted by plans and funding decisions made 10 years ago.

Spreading awareness about ovarian cancer

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Approximately 500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Washington state each year. It is estimated that 22,000 women will be diagnosed in the nation in 2014 with an estimated mortality rate of 14,000 in 2014. Ovarian cancer is much easier to treat and there is a much greater chance of survival if diagnosed in the early stages. Unfortunately, there is no screening test for ovarian cancer. It does have symptoms but very few women are aware of them. It has been labeled a “silent killer” but really it is not. I am a four-year ovarian cancer survivor, having been diagnosed with Stage 3c in July 2010. I have just passed my 50th chemotherapy treatment and am in this battle for the long haul. It is my mission to educate women and all medical professionals on the symptoms of ovarian cancer. I did not know the symptoms I was experiencing for months could be something as serious as cancer. This year, we are holding our third annual Teal

and Toe Walk for Ovarian Cancer on Sept. 28 at Marymoor Park (www.tealandtoeforovariancan cer.webs.com). The first Teal and Toe Walk was the dream and inspiration of my then 15-yearold daughter who wanted to find a way to spread awareness about ovarian cancer in my honor. The last two walks have been a great success, bringing the community together, spreading awareness and raising funds for ovarian cancer education. They are afternoons of joy, hope and love and a lot of teal!! (Teal is the color of ovarian cancer awareness.)

America the Beautiful, America the Bountiful

We volunteer for Hopelink during the week and at the Saturday Redmond Farmers Market. Here a group of local farmers, artisans and purveyors of fine food, as well as volunteers such as Master Gardeners and others, sell their wares and share their knowledge. All contribute to the ambience and help the local economy, with their delicious harvest, beautiful flowers, arts and crafts and music. We all have come to appreciate their hard work and knowledge. At the end of the market, this diverse group of local and regional individuals and families share their bountiful harvests with the less fortunate through contributions of fruits and vegetables to Hopelink. On a recent Saturday, 16 growers donated a total of more than 825 pounds of produce to feed the needy and less fortunate. We want to salute these kind and caring individuals who contribute to America the Beautiful, America the Bountiful!

Boycotting Burger King

Merge/buy, whatever you want to call it, but Burger King is a United States company, headquartered in Florida. Burger King was started in the United States in 1954 and now, 60 years later, Burger King is going to buy a Canadian company and change its company location to Canada to dodge paying a few extra dollars income tax! Is it too much to expect a corporate “person” (per the United States Supreme Court) to pay for the favorable business environment, favorable physical environment and infrastructure that allowed Burger King to become the successful business it has become? I will boycott Burger King.

Impaired and distracted driving is the same in an accident

This letter is in response to Larry Brickman’s “Tougher DUI laws needed” in the Aug. 8 issue of the Redmond Reporter. I 100 percent agree with you that DUI laws should carry tougher penalties, however, let’s not forget statistics have shown that using electronic devices while driving cause more traffic related fatalities per year than driving under the influence. In no way am I saying one is better than the other, but rather I am saying electronicdevice use while driving should carry equal penalties as DUI. Currently in the state of Washington, a driver seen by law enforcement officers using a non hands-free device only faces a $101 penalty. I believe it is a double standard that those individuals do not face the same penalties as some under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please, let’s stiffen the penalties for cell phone or electronic device use while operating a vehicle, as well, not just single out chemically impaired drivers.

We need to invest in infrastructure

As I sat in traffic trying to drive up the I-5 north, I bemoaned the lack of funding for our state’s infrastructure. About 67 percent of all of Washington’s roads are in poor or mediocre condition according to infrastructurereportcard.org, and needs an estimated $6.3 billion to remedy all infrastructural weaknesses. I know that the state and federal government are constantly tightening their budgets. I know that wastewater treatment, public transportation, and bridge upkeep cannot always be kept in peak condition. I know that House Republicans want to allocate money that could be spent on infrastructural repairs elsewhere. But roads, something every citizen uses in their everyday lives, need to be at least in a serviceable state so that they do not hinder us. We should not have to be wasting our time sitting in traffic because the roads simply cannot handle the volume of traffic our growing population produces. Our representatives need to obtain the funding our state needs, not to accomplish some inspirational plans, but to simply improve day-to-day affairs.

Class is back in session at The Overlake School, and beginning this year, faculty will have lighter class loads. Prior to this, most Overlake faculty taught five classes, with department chairs teaching four. Beginning this year, all of their loads have been lightened by one class. Overlake Head of School Matt Horvat said they made this change to allow teachers more time and opportunity to collaborate and work together. “You know in a school, one thing that is finite is time,” he said about how limited teachers had been prior to this year. Horvat said with a lighter class load, teachers will have fewer students, meaning they will have fewer assignments, tests and papers to grade. Larry Metzger, chair of Overlake’s history department, said it is still too early in the school year to see how the five to four, which is what staff is calling the change, is working but he anticipates a positive outcome. He said the smaller class load will allow teachers more time to respond to student work in a more meaningful way. Also with more time freed up, teachers will have more prep and planning time. In addition, with one less class to teach, Horvat said the teachers will have one whole class period free in their schedule, meaning

more time to collaborate and work with their colleagues. Marian Sugano, an Advanced Placement (AP) English and AP Spanish teacher, said even though it has been less than a week since school has started, she has already seen a difference. Prior to this year, Sugano, who is also the English Department chair at Overlake, said she had been the only one to teach the three AP English literature class. But with this year’s class load change, she is only teaching two classes and a new teacher — Megan Vasavada — was hired to teach the third AP English literature offering. With a second teacher covering the same class, Sugano has been able to bounce ideas off of someone else when it comes to curriculum, lesson plans and grading. For example, she said, the students have just turned in their first papers and Sugano and Vasavada have been able to get together to discuss how they plan to grade the papers and offer feedback to the students so no one class or group of students will be graded more easily or harder than others. “Since we’ve hired her, I have collaborated with her extensively,” she said about Vasavada. “Her input has been so insightful and helpful.” Vasavada is one of 18 new teachers at Overlake. Horvat said 11 of the new faculty members were hired specifically due to

the five to four to teach the remaining classes. He said every year, they hire six or seven new teachers as a result of attrition from retirements and teachers moving or leaving. Sugano said before this year, teachers did collaborate and work with one another, but there was not enough time to do it in a meaningful way. With the five to four, she said they have been able to do so in a more organized way. She added that right now, the collaborations have been limited to within school departments, but she anticipates as time goes on that there will be more cross-departmental collaborating. Metzger said with more time to work together, departments will be able to do more comprehensive curriculum reviews. In addition to being able to work more with each other, teachers will also have more time to work with students as a result of their lighter class loads and newly open period. “That’s something I’m really looking forward to,” Metzger said. And if a student’s schedule does not match up with a specific teacher’s and they cannot seek help during their free period, Horvat said they will be offering “labs” in all subjects, which will be hosted by a faculty member from that department. During these labs, any student can stop by and get help from the on-duty teacher.

been times when he has waited up to 10 minutes to turn out of his cul-desac onto 166th Avenue Northeast. Tricia Thomson, a senior engineer for the city, said drivers’ delays should only be about a few seconds. Rob Crittenden, manager of the city’s traffic operations division, acknowledged the road’s traffic issues, but said they believe there will be some traffic delays and traffic impacts due to construction, but the exchange is that the road will be safer. He said prior to the project, the road worked alright for vehicle traffic, but not for pedestrians or cyclists. “It wasn’t adequate at all,” he said.

Above is a cross section of the four-lane configuration of 166th Avenue Northeast before construction started. Below is a cross section of what the road will look like after construction is complete this weekend, with one lane in each direction and a center left-turn lane as well as bike lanes in each direction. Courtesy of City of Redmond

SAFETY CONCERNS

This change has Collins and his neighbors skeptical about whether it will be safer. Collins, who drives a wheelchair van, said in addition to sometimes waiting several minutes to pull onto 166th Avenue Northeast, visibility can be poor due to the plants and vegetation growing along the road. Because of this, he said he has to pull his van as far as the new bike

lanes to be able to see oncoming traffic — possibly endangering any cyclists who may be coming up or down the hill. Another safety concern brought up by the neighbors was the fact that the northbound lanes coming up the hill merge into one lane after the traffic light at Northeast 85th Street. Pat Cogan — another resident who lives near Collins, Risch and Ma —

suggested the merge to one lane take place prior to the intersection, where the road is flat. “Cars already go faster than the limit to climb the hill,” he said. “Just wait till they’re trying to cut someone off at the merge.” Other safety concerns the neighbor have include the fact that there are bus stops on the west side of 166th Avenue Northeast but there are no nearby

crosswalks for people to get from their side of the street to the stops. “That actually discourages me from taking the bus,” Ma said.

ENOUGH PRIOR NOTICE?

Collins said he did not learn about the project until work began and as far as he knew, not many residents on their street had much prior knowledge of the project.

This being said, Thomson said, in planning for the project, the city held a public meeting in October 2013. She said they sent out about 400 postcards to residents and 83 residents attended the meeting. In addition, the city held an open house at City Hall in May. “It felt like we were getting the word out,” Thomson said.

One of the main reasons for the project was to improve safety along Education Hill. Crittenden said by adding a bike lane, it adds a buffer between cars and the sidewalk, improving pedestrian safety. He added that by converting 166th Avenue Northeast to three lanes, it makes the road more uniform as the road on either side of the portion currently under construction is already three lanes wide. While most of the stretch of road under construction will now have a center left-turn lane, Crittenden said there won’t be one at the northeast 87th and 86th streets turnoffs. This is because they need to keep the right-turn lane at Northeast 85th Street and the center through lane coming down the hill. While this may make it difficult to turn off of and onto these streets, Crittenden pointed out that vehicles will only be crossing the one lane of traffic coming up the hill, instead of two.

Since the crash, law enforcement, family and friends had been out searching for the dog. Jake was located by retired Redmond Assistant Police Chief Larry Gainer and retired Redmond Police Commander Terry Morgan, along with Morgan’s wife, Kim. According to the Redmond Police Department, the dog had succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash. Jake was taken to a local veterinary clinic pending further direction by the Harris family.

been the chief of for 28 years. So — quite the legacy as the chief of police,” said Gibson, adding that Harris was once president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police from 1992-1993. “He was very dedicated to his profession,” Gibson continued. “A great guy — that’s what I remember the most. He was one of those guys, when you meet him once, you’re a friend for life.” Redmond Mayor John Marchione was first a City Council member and then mayor during six years of Harris’ time as police chief. “The news of chief Harris is very shocking. We are saddened by his death and we pray for the recovery of his wife,” said Marchione, who added

that Harris developed the police department from a small-town police force to a professional organization. “Chief Harris was the right chief at the right time. He arrived as a young chief in 1981 and led Redmond into the 21st century.” Gibson said that the Harrises had moved to Redmond Ridge in recent years. The Harris family is requesting privacy at this time. Memorial services have not been determined.

Pushing Boundaries, an exercise-based paralysis recovery center in Redmond, has received a grant from the Massage Therapy Foundation. The nonprofit organization will use the grant to integrate massage therapy into the existing exercise therapy program for people with paralysis. About 70,000 people in the Puget Sound region live with some form of paralysis. Pushing Boundaries is helping clients experiencing paralysis from any neurological disorder, including spinal cord injuries, Multiple Sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries and stroke to regain and maintain health and independence. “Support from the Massage Therapy Foundation will provide enhanced care for clients with shoulder and arm impairments,” said Chris Kagen, a Kirkland massage therapist and architect of the Pushing Boundaries pilot program. Kagen said the intent of the program is to improve range of motion, reduce pain and increase sensation for wheelchair users. With reports that

summarize data and results, this program will add to the body of research knowledge about massage therapy and its health care impact. The Massage Therapy Foundation, a national organization that promotes research and education, issues five $5,000 grants per year for community service. The Pushing Boundaries grant was one of 69 submitted applications to provide massage to an underserved population. Pushing Boundaries will hold its 6th Annual Success Beyond Paralysis fundraising luncheon on Sept. 11 at the Bellevue Hilton at 300 112th Ave. S.E. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and the program will run from noon to 1 p.m. The master of ceremony will be Meeghan Black, an Emmy awardwinning broadcast journalist and communications specialist. Each year, hundreds in the community committed to improving the lives of those living with paralysis come together to celebrate the achievements of Pushing Boundaries clients and pledge to support their efforts in the future. The luncheon is invitation only. For those who are interested in being a guest, contact Pushing Boundaries (www.pushing-boundaries.org) and schedule a tour at the facility.

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest technology to back them up, are just some of the reasons Swedish delivers “extraordinary care.” But there’s another side to being extraordinary that’s just as important. It’s a way of being treated that makes you feel like someone truly cares. Because, at Swedish, someone does.

Former astronaut talks space with Redmond seniors ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Former NASA astronaut Dr. Bonnie J. Dunbar discussed the United States space program and her five space-shuttle flights at the Emerald Heights retirement community volunteer breakfast in Redmond on Aug. 22. She made an impact on the attendees. Emerald Heights resident Rosemarie Matthes thanked Dunbar for her work following the gathering. Matthes noted that her grandson works for Space X, a company that designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. He is also a propulsion engineer at the University of Washington and hopes to go into space someday. Dunbar, who grew up on a farm in eastern Washington, read books by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne as a child and they “helped shape my attitude about what could happen in space.” In ninth grade, she took an algebra class and realized that “I want to

fly in space and build spaceships.” Dunbar did both and looked on in amazement at the scenery during her spaceshuttle flights. “Carl Sagan was right: there are ‘billions upon billions of stars,’” she said. Dunbar currently leads the University of Houston’s new STEM Center (focused on science, technology, engineering and math) and joined the faculty of the Cullen College of Engineering. “We’re trying to inspire young people what my teachers inspired me to do,” she said. As for Emerald Heights residents, they don’t volunteer “billions upon billions of hours,” but they notched an impressive 14,351 hours in the country store, coffee shop, on the Emerald Heights Railroad, maintaining the hiking trails and running the furniture sales and annual bazaar. They also volunteer in the Redmond community and beyond at Hopelink, hospitals, kids’ organizations and more.

Each year, Lake Washington School District forms committees to determine new curriculum adoptions. Committees are made up of teachers, administrators and parents. They review standards, teaching practices and materials for specific courses and content areas. Committees take two years to develop a recommendation. This year, four different adoption committees will review the following curricula:

September to June for two years. Meetings are held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the first year, committee members learn about best instructional practices. They develop standards for reviewing instructional materials. They create screening criteria. During the second year, committee members use the screening criteria to review available materials. The committee must reach consensus on a recommendation of instructional materials. This recommendation is forwarded to the Instructional Materials Committee (IMC). Once approved by the IMC, the materials go to the Lake Washington School District board of directors for final approval. For more information on serving on an adoption committee, contact Mike VanOrden, director of curriculum, at mvanorden@lwsd.org or (425) 936-1267.

Speedy Debu sets age-group world records for 10K run Cretu competes at USA Track and Field National Junior Olympic Championships ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Amber Debu already held one world record — although she didn’t know it yet. Following a 46-minute, 49-second Railroad Days 10K fun run performance on Aug. 16 in Snoqualmie, the Redmond 8-year-old notched her second world record. On that day, race organizers informed Debu that her time was the fastest recorded for an 8-yearold running a 10K race. She placed first in the 14-and-under division on Aug. 16. Two years earlier in the same race, Debu’s time of 52:20 made her the quickest 6-year-old in the world to tackle a 10K. She found out about both records

on Aug. 16 and, judging from the energy in her voice, she’s ready to run some more races. On Monday afternoon, Debu recalled her latest race. “It was really exciting. Near the end, I was getting pretty tired … other than that, it was just great,” said Debu, who won her age group and finished 63rd overall. She ran alongside her father, Marc, who took 64th. Amber and Marc run together six days a week — it’s a bonding experience and keeps them healthy and active. “It’s perfect,” said Marc, who ran with his son before Amber jumped on board at the age of 5. “She said, ‘I want to do that, too.’” Amber enjoys having her dad — who used to be a marathoner and triathloner — running by her side and providing encouragement. The young homeschool student said she doesn’t always feel great after a race because she’s been running so hard, but she’s only winded for a little while. “I do recover really fast,” she said. “(And then) I’m very satisfied.”

CRETU GOES NATIONAL

As if competing in the 3,000-meter race isn’t grueling enough, George Cretu and his fellow runners had to endure the blistering 100-degree heat in Humble, Texas, last month at the USA Track and Field National Junior Olympic Championships. The Redmond 13-yearold didn’t feel he ran his best and finished 32nd in the 13-14-year-old division. “I’m not used to running in that weather. I want to do better next year and hope to get in the top 10,” said Cretu, a Redmond Middle School eighth-grader who finished 10th in one of the early heats at nationals. At regionals in Spokane, he qualified for nationals with a fourthplace finish (10:27.73). Cretu, who runs for the Cascade Striders club team, also participated in the 4x400-meter relay event at nationals, but his team didn’t qualify for the final. It was a pressure-packed July, but Cretu said the adrenaline kicks in come race time and then he’s off enjoying what he [ more RUNNERS page 14 ]

does best. Aside from racing, he noted that “It was cool meeting people from everywhere who like to do the same thing that you do.” George’s mother, Monica, said her son is a focused and hard-working runner. “He was so ambitious to qualify (for regionals and nationals). He made sacrifices, like not playing with his friends. He’s serious about running,” Monica said. He’s resilient, as well. He rebounded from a back injury he sustained long jumping during track and field season and found running success last month. George also runs cross country and qualified for nationals in San Antonio, Texas, last fall and finished in the top 75. “Running is calming. It feels good to get out running every day,” he said.

BRIEFS

Public School Employees of Washington endorse Hill Public School Employees of Washington have endorsed Andy Hill for re-election to the State Senate. As the architect of a $1 billion investment in education in 2013 and prime sponsor of critical paraeducator legislation, Hill has been a strong advocate for public school employees. This endorsement represents another addition to a growing list of education advocates supporting Hill. “As a PTA dad, high quality education is my top priority,” state Hill. “Public School Employees represent the staff that provide the support and education that our children need. I am very pleased to have their support.” In addition to the $1 billion in added education funding, Hill worked with Public School Employees

of Washington to champion SSB 6129 to provide increased paraeducator support for Washington students. “Senator Hill championed a monumental bill to jumpstart the state’s effort to reduce the opportunity gap by focusing on the education services provided by paraeducators,” stated Doug Nelson, government relations director for Public School Employees. “Andy Hill is an ally of public school employees and we fully support his return to the Senate.” Public School Employees of Washington represents more than 26,000 classified educational support professionals in Washington state’s preschools, K-12 schools and universities.

WGU Washington announces new Lifesaver Scholarship For the millions of Americans with some college credit but no degree, finally earning a bachelor’s or master’s degree can be a

real game changer. But students who re-enroll in college in hopes of finishing their degree program are confronted with rising tuition rates, excessive loan debt, unemployment and, recently, college closures. WGU Washington, the state-endorsed, online university recognized for its quality and affordability, is offering those students a lifeline: the WGU Washington Lifesaver Transfer Scholarship. Valued at up to $3,000 per student, this scholarship has been created for individuals who face challenges such as unemployment, financial hardships or the closure of their current college — challenges transferring to WGU Washington can help them overcome. The scholarship will be applied at the rate of $750 per six-month term toward WGU Washington’s tuition of about $3,000 per term, and is renewable for up to four terms. As many as 10 scholarships will be awarded. “In many ways, these scholarships represent our university’s commitment to making a college degree a real possibility for

many who are otherwise without hope,” said WGU Washington Chancellor Jean Floten. “The road to graduation can be tough, but the “Lifesaver” scholarships will help smooth the pathway for many.” To be eligible for the Lifesaver Transfer Scholarship, applicants must meet at least one of the following criteria: • Unemployment • Financial hardship • Closure of current college or university Interested students must submit an application for admission and be accepted to WGU Washington, submit their previous transcripts and complete an interview with a scholarship counselor. While multiple scholarships will be awarded, the Lifesaver Transfer Scholarship is a competitive program. Scholarships will be awarded based on the student’s academic record, readiness for online study and current competency, as well as other considerations. The application deadline is Nov. 30. For more information about the Lifesaver Transfer Scholarship, visit www. wgu.edu/lifesaver.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a n d b u y e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
