Local startup’s test satellite destroyed in launch explosion ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
A tweet from Redmond’s Planetary Resources rolled out late Tuesday evening: “A3 was just a robot! We are making more.” Earlier that day, an un-
manned Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket “suffered a catastrophic failure” shortly after its 6:22 p.m. (EDT) lift-off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va., according to Orbital and Planetary Resources.
NASA’s emergency operations officials reported that no one was injured when flaming debris fell to the ground on the south end of Wallops Island. The rocket was carrying supplies to the International Space Station and
also had the Redmond startup’s first technology demonstrator, the Arkyd (A3) test satellite, on board. Prior to the launch, the startup tweeted: “Less than 3 minutes to the launch of #ARKYD A3!! We’re excited!!”
After the explosion, another tweet: “Live to fly another day. Onward!” “As this launch failure and history have demonstrated, spaceflight is inherently risky. The A3 is the first example of our strategy to ‘use space as our testbed,’ and to toler-
ate failures by building success into the development path,” said Stacey Tearne, vice president of communications for Planetary Resources, which develops technology for mining asteroids. [ more LAUNCH page 7 ]

Scoring a ‘game-changing’ partnership ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Nice weather. A soccer match. A partnership between Microsoft Corp. and Special Olympics. Monday’s hat trick at the Microsoft commons area was both playful and emotional for those involved in the announcement of a multi-year technology alliance to help Special Olympics modernize its operations by moving to the cloud. Microsoft’s cloud will be home base for Special Olympics’ game-management system for its 80,000
competitions per year in more than 170 countries and for 4.5 million athletes. Big upcoming events are the 2015 World Summer Games in Los Angeles and the 2017 World Winter Games in Austria. Lisa Brummel, Microsoft’s vice president of human resources, said this relationship ties in with the company’s Employee Giving Campaign. “It’s a time when we spend time donating time, donating money to our community in the hopes of making this world a better place,” she said during the opening ceremony.

Microsoft cuts 3,000 more jobs Microsoft Corp. officials announced they were reducing 3,000 more jobs from its employee base around the world, according to microsoft-news.com on Wednesday. About 638 of the job cuts are in the Seattle region. “We’ve taken another step that will complete almost all the 18,000 reductions announced in July. The reductions happening today are spread across many different business units, and many different countries,” a Microsoft spokesman said in a statement released by the company. GeekWire reported that affected positions in this latest reduction are in support roles, including finance, human resources, sales and marketing.

In addition, people have posted on the page, offering their love, thoughts and prayers for both Venkatesh’s family and friends as well as his safe return. One person posted, “Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.

Wade added that he also never failed to call her on or around her birthday. “But he doesn’t just do it for me; he tries to reach out to many friends on their birthdays, even if he hasn’t seen them in a while,” Wade writes. “Many times, he uses birthdays as a reason to catch up with friends he hasn’t talked to in a while.” She also shares Venkatesh’s devotion to his family, how his levelheadedness made him a good sounding board. Sachdeva added that he is the friend in their group that takes care of everyone else, whether that means planning a trip, figuring out where to take out-of-town guests or helping financially. She shared an example of this when she and her roommate mentioned how it can be scary walking around Seattle by themselves. Sachdeva, who has known Venkatesh for four years, said after hearing this, he logged onto Ama zon.com and purchased pepper spray for her and her roommate. “He’s an amazing, amazing guy,” she said.

The Discover Pass is still required to access WDFW and DNR lands on State Parks free days. The Discover Pass provides daytime access to parks. Overnight visitors are charged fees for camping and other overnight accommodations, and their daytime access to the park where they are camping is included in the overnight fee. The Discover Pass does not replace the Sno-Park permit requirement for visitors using Sno-Park winter recreation sites.

Wake up, Washington WILLIAM SHAW AND MARY BETH HAGGERTY-SHAW
Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Nov. 2-9 as Drowsy Driving Prevention Week in Washington state. While this proclamation is a significant step toward drowsy driving awareness and prevention, there is much more that needs to be done to keep this pandemic off of our roads and highways. We must change attitudes about drowsy driving first. On Oct. 4, the Issaquah Police Department (IPD) responded to a report of a vehicle that was being driven erratically in the Issaquah Highlands. An officer quickly found the car parked in the Safeway parking lot. The driver was fast asleep. When he was woken up and interviewed, he told IPD he had been working almost 72 hours straight before he got behind the wheel of his car to go home. While in line at the bank recently, I heard a conversation between a customer and a bank teller. The customer told of his recent extreme sports bike trip in the Cascades. He then casually said that he had been up for over 24 hours before he drove back over Snoqualmie Pass to his home in Bellevue. The somewhat macho tone of the biker was as if driving while tired was also part of his extreme sport. And the teller was impressed. A co-worker has a second job in addition to her “day job.” She mentioned that many times each week she only got around four hours of sleep each night. When she drove home from her “moonlighting” job at two or three in the morning, she was usually very tired. But she said “it was a straight line on the freeway,” and that she knew the way home — even when exhausted. In 2006, our then 17-year-old daughter, Mora, nearly died from multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury caused by a driver who was awake for 24 hours and who had fallen asleep at the wheel of her car. Several months after the accident, Mora was still in recovery and rehabilitation. During that time, we talked with the nurses and caregivers about what caused Mora’s injuries. A few of the nurses said that they regularly work double shifts each week and drove home exhausted after being up nearly 24 hours. Even in front of
GUEST COLUMN
our daughter, they freely said they did not want any increased drowsy driving laws or penalties because they said caregivers were often the worst offenders. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that “cognitive impairment after being approximately 18 hours awake is similar to that of someone with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05 percent. After about 24 hours awake, impairment is equivalent to a BAC of 0.10 percent, higher than the legal limit in all states.” Not only every driver in our state, but also our legislators and our judges need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving, and how many people are injured and killed by this pandemic each year. Attitudes about drowsy driving need to change. But like attitudes about drunk driving 30 years ago, like texting while driving and distracted driving today, the only thing that will really change attitudes, mindsets and habits toward getting behind the wheel of a car when you have not slept for 20 or more hours is swift and sure penalties. Before others are injured or killed by drowsy drivers, we urge our state legislators to put aside the bickering of partisan politics and to beef up Washington’s reckless driving laws to include penalties if a driver injures or kills someone after deliberately getting behind the wheel of a car after being awake over 20 to 22 hours. Or to find
the vision and the guts to pass a specific drowsy driving law in Washington state like New Jersey’s “Maggie’s Law.” Yes, in some cases, an accident caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel may be harder to prove than drunk driving. But drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk driving. Just ask the survivors. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured last month or last year from the actions of a drowsy driver. Just ask our daughter. We want all drivers in Washington to be aware of their level of fatigue or alertness before they get behind the wheel of a car.....this week, during the busy holiday season, and throughout the year. Save a life, and get some rest. For more information on drowsy driving, go to the National Sleep Foundation website http:// drowsydriving.org and AAA Foundation’s website: https://www.aaafoundation.org.
The Shaw family is partnering with Gov. Jay Inslee’s office, with the Washington State Patrol, with WSDOT, with the King County Sheriff ’s Office, AAA of Washington, the AAA Foundation, the National Sleep Foundation and several other law enforcement and traffic safety groups around the state to get the word out on this important public safety issue.

Puget Sound Energy plan not best for long term Do Puget Sound Energy (PSE) customers want to be stuck paying hundreds of millions of dollars for “Energize Eastside” over the next 40 years when it has a stated usable life of only about 15 years? According to PSE, by 2030 we will be right back in the same predicament. If your neighborhood is spared this time, next time you may not be so fortunate. The Eastside needs alternatives with longevity. We are an environmentally-conscious region as well as a high-tech region. Our energy solutions must embrace and reflect those values and needs. The character of our cities and neighborhoods do not deserve to be desecrated by outdated 130-year old pole-and-wire technology — short-term solutions that residents and businesses will pay for over the next four decades. PSE’s proposed “Energize Eastside” project
may be the most expedient solution to the growing Eastside’s electricity needs, but it’s not the best solution. The truth is, huge 130-foot-tall electricity transmission lines will damage our beautiful city. “Energize Eastside” are not typical neighborhood distribution lines. “Energize Eastside” are high-voltage 230kV long-haul transmission lines. Overhead high-voltage transmission lines pose safety and health risks, as well as quantifiably increase pollution. We have not exhausted all possible alternatives. We can do better. We must demand better.

Treat others the way you want to be treated Have you ever felt like you were less significant than the people around you? I have. Back in sixth and seventh grade, I was living in Ohio, which is a lot different than living in Washington, and I was a skater. My hair was long, my
shirts were all ripped, my jeans were tight and I got made fun of constantly. There was even this kid that was just like me just without the long hair and he called me names. One day he was trying to tell me I was bad at skating. Then he threw a hard green nut that had fallen off a tree at me and hit me in the head. I wasn’t very smart and I reacted quickly and I got into the only fight I’ve ever been in. Humans have always been quick to jump to a fight even in the most unnecessary situations. We are animals with instincts so it’s understandable but people need to learn to be nicer and not jump to violence. People these days are constantly trying to be better than others and act like they’re the coolest and “hardest” around. We as humans have the same potential to go to the same places in life, we all have the potential to succeed and go and become the president or a doctor or an athlete.

Since a group of homeowners from Trilogy on Redmond Ridge filed a class-action lawsuit against Shea Homes, Inc., the California-based homebuilder has admitted to making mistakes while building the homes, which are marketed to elderly buyers. The lawsuit was filed Oct. 10 in federal court for the Western District of Washington. A number of public meetings with the homeowners and Shea have been held since then. The most recent meeting was on Tuesday. “The room was at capacity,” said Steve Berman — whose Seattlebased law firm Hagens

provided us an opportunity to resolve their issues without the need for litigation,” the statement reads. “We are pleased that so many homeowners have chosen to work with us in this manner.” The statement encourages any homeowner who has not already done so to schedule a home evaluation by contacting them
at customerservice@ trilogylife.com. Berman said Shea has offered to pay to fix and address any issues homeowners have been experiencing. As previously reported, some of those issues include water intrusion and rot damage caused by a lack of exterior waterproofing components.
In addition to admitting to these mistakes, Berman said the company has admitted to other mistakes homeowners did not know about. One of those mistakes was the fact that the company used cement fiber boards instead of plywood on the homes’ roofs. He said [ more trilogy page 6 ]

The attorney said since the Reporter first reported on the story, more homeowners have come forward to join the lawsuit. It was previously reported that about 600 Trilogy homes were represented in the class-action suit. Berman said they now have more than 700 and that number is growing. He said they plan to file a second complaint to include the homeowners who have just come forward. Berman said they will also amend the original complaint to include the newly revealed mistakes Shea has admitted to.
Shea also installed roofing support every four feet instead of every two feet and as a result, hundreds of Trilogy homes built in 2010 and later have sagging roofs. “That’s an expensive repair,” Berman said, adding that while Shea has offered to pay to repair their mistakes, it is still not enough money. Another mistake the company has admitted to is not removing dampers when installing vents and furnaces and as a result, people’s furnaces have broken down earlier than they should, Berman said.

www.redmond-reporter.com [ LAUNCH from page 1] In a statement on Orbital’s website, Frank Culbertson, executive vice president and general manager of its Advanced Programs Group, said: “It is far too early to know the details of what happened. As we begin to gather information, our primary concern lies with the ongoing safety and security of those involved in our response and recovery operations.” Culbertson added that Orbital will conduct a thorough investigation of the failure, and as soon as officials un-
derstand the cause, they will take steps to return to flight. As for Planetary Resources, Tearne said: “With the A3, the Planetary Resources’ team achieved most of our objectives when we delivered the spacecraft to the launch integration site.” For the past few months, Planetary Resources has been diligently developing the Arkyd 6 (A6), the startup’s second demonstration vehicle in its spacecraft program. Tearne said they are on schedule and have contracted with Spaceflight Services, Inc. to include the
A6 in a rideshare configuration on an upcoming U.S. commercial launch vehicle. Scheduled launching is in the third quarter of 2015. On its website, Planetary Resources states: “Our vision is to do the ‘impossible’ now. Asteroids will play a key role in the development of a space economy and be the main driver in allowing humanity to become a flourishing multi-planetary species. Water from asteroids will fuel the in-space economy and habitation, by creating rocket fuel and consumable water from space, for space.”

HOSPITAL PREPAREDNESS
In addition to agencies preparing to respond to an active shooter onsite, local hospitals also prepare for such events
as the injured patients are likely to be treated there initially. Swedish Medical Center spokesperson Clay Holtzman said they are always prepared to respond to an emergency such as a mass shooting as long as they have the capacity to meet the demand. He said while the Swedish location in Redmond is an ambulatory care center with an emergency room and board-certified [ more SHOOTING page 8 ]

in Lake Washington have crisis response plans in place that address a full range of emergency situations. We do regular lockdown drills in all of our schools to prepare for all kinds of emergencies, including active shooter situations.” Gibson went on to say events such as the MPHS shooting reinforce the importance of working in partnership with the school district, fire department and emergency medical services personnel. “We also need all of our community partners, employers, school administrators and community members to remain vigilant in reporting warning signs or any indications that these type events are being discussed or contemplated by others so that we may be able to prevent another tragedy,” Gibson said. “I have no information concerning this most recent event, but studies have shown that many times others know someone is planning or considering taking the next step in an act of violence. The key is to report suspicious behavior in an effort to prevent the next incident.” Pierce added in her letter, “We are also aware
services for students can play in working with students who may be a danger to themselves and to others. This year we are increasing resources to support social/emotional and mental health support for students in need.”

Added Special Olympics CEO Janet Froetscher to the crowd: “When we talk about this partnership, it will be felt around the world, literally.” She said they’ll now be able to track athletes’ personal bests and capture data on how playing sports will make athletes healthier. This “game-changer” will also make athletes with intellectual disabilities more visible, she said. Much like Microsoft and Special Olympics, all the players are teammates, even when they’re on the opposite side of the ball and wearing red or black uniforms, as they did on Monday. “All of those struggles we have sometimes in connecting to each other and respect-
ing each other, when we’re on the playing field, that all goes away,” Froetscher said. Monday’s match featured Special Olympics Unified Sports athletes from Roosevelt High in Seattle, Microsoft employees and former Seattle Sounders Kasey Keller and Roger Levesque. Microsoft’s Jeff Hansen enjoyed his time on the soccer pitch and said he’s glad to be involved with the partnership and helping Special Olympics move forward with its mission of providing sporting events and friendship for children and adults. Roosevelt High junior Joseph Vosma-Moody said it was an “awesome event” and stressed Unified Sports’ motto: “We try our best to make sure that

If someone arrives at Swedish Redmond with a gunshot wound or wounds, Holtzman said they are obligated to redirect the patient to a trauma center such as Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He said physicians would assess and stabilize the patient first to figure out where to transport them, communicate with that hospital and then handle the transport. Holtzman said the training Swedish employees go through includes

from gunshot wounds and other injuries. This hazard vulnerability assessment training, which they do annually, also includes how to respond to other emergencies such as onsite bomb threats and hostage situations as well as natural disasters and electrical power outages. “We are prepared for what we’re expected to do,” Holtzman said. EvergreenHealth, which has emergency rooms in Redmond and Kirkland, is also prepared to respond to these types of emergencies. Brad Younggren, medical director of emergency preparedness and associated medical director of trauma for Evergreen, said their Kirkland location is a level-three trauma center
everybody’s included. Unified is one big team so people don’t feel left out.” Keller, a Special Olympics Washington board member, dusted off his goalkeeper gloves and made some diving saves for his team on Monday. He also doled out copious high fives to any player within reach and sported smile as wide as the goalposts he protected. “It’s such a huge community connection between the Sounders, between Special Olympics, between Microsoft,” he said. “I do as much as possible to stay off the field these days, but when it comes to special things like this, you have to make exceptions. It’s always nice to every once in a while put the gloves back on and catch a couple balls.”
(Harborview is a level one), meaning they have general surgeons, emergency physicians, orthopedic surgeons and other specialists on call and ready to respond. He said their Redmond location does not have any operating suites, but the Kirkland location does. Younggren said Evergreen physicians rotate between the two locations and participate in at least two emergency preparedness drills per year. These drills range from table-top drills to dry runs and Younggren said the scenarios are different each time at each campus. He said Evergreen is also prepared to respond to other emergency situations. For example, the Kirkland campus has a decontaminating shower room that could be

EMPATHIZING EXPERIENCES
While the hospitals and other agencies prepare to respond to events like what happened in Marysville, others are trying to prevent them from happening. Nicole Hockley, who lost her 6-year-old son Dylan, and Mark Barden, who lost his 7-year-old son Daniel in the Sandy Hook school shooting two years ago, were in Seattle Monday and Tuesday to support of Initiative 594, which concerns background checks for firearm sales and transfers. Hockley and Barden are both part of Sandy Hook Promise (SHP), a national nonprofit organization led by community members, parents and spouses who
lost loved ones in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14, 2012 that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and six educators. The organization’s mission is to prevent the causes of gun violence and help communities through such tragedies. Barden said one of the things they focus on is access to firearms and responsible gun ownership. “That’s why we’re here,” he told the Reporter Tuesday, “to support I-594.” Hockley said their trip to the Pacific Northwest was scheduled about a month ago and the fact that it occurred just after the events at Marysville were a “terrible coincidence.” “Our hearts go out to all the families,” she said.
Barden said school shootings can happen anywhere and any time and when he learns about one, it takes him back to December 2012. “Of course it does,” he said. “We can empathize with these families.” He added that there is nothing that can be said or done to make it better and they just live with the pain. Hockley said they would like to offer the families of Marysville their sincerest condolences as they understand the grief and shock the families are experiencing. She said everyone deals with things differently, but she hopes the families are open to asking and receiving help, adding that if there is any way she and Barden can help, they will.

Puget Sound at war? Novelist to share 1850s history and its lessons Once upon many times, Native Americans and American settlers fought over land — the histories are everywhere, but easily forgotten as societies move on. One such war — between settlers led by Washington Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens and a coalition of native tribes led by Chief Leschi — defined the future of the Puget Sound area, and yet few even know it happened or the ultimate result. Author Michael Schein
College speaking series coming to Teen Center Starting this Tuesday, the Old Fire House Teen Center in Redmond will host panels for local teens about going to college. Each panel will feature University of Washington students sharing their experiences to give high school students a broader perspective on the benefits and accessibility of going to college.
will discuss the 1855-56 Puget Sound War and its present-day lessons at the Redmond Historical Society Speaker Series at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 8 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center (16600 N.E. 80th St.). He is the author of “Bones Beneath Our Feet: A Historical Novel of Puget Sound” and is speaking courtesy of Humanities Washington. “This is a tale of injustice,” says Schein, a former professor of American legal history. “For me, that is the most important story,
since the telling and retelling helps us learn how to avoid perpetrating future injustices.” “We have seen the name ‘Leschi’ everywhere, yet all but a few are surprised to hear that he was accused of murder and ultimately hanged by our first territorial governor, Isaac Stevens,” adds Schein.
The series is scheduled from 7-9 p.m. the first three Tuesdays in November with each panel focused on specific disciplines/areas of study. All events will be open to the public and free of charge. The events are put on by Students for Students, a community program dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the lives of youth. Visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/S4SRedmond. The Old Fire House Teen Center is located at 16510 N.E. 79th St.
“Many people are unaware that there even was a war — they might know there were treaties, but not that enforcement of the first treaty led to war.” A Seattle-based author, Schein says he chose to write a novel, not a nonfiction work, “because it is accessible to readers who would not pick up a
traditional history book. Historical fiction can help a reader directly experience the ‘emotional truths’ of a time period in a way that no recitation of precise facts can.” “After my talk and slide show, people are motivated to talk,” he adds. “We can explore whatever themes resonate with the group.”
The Saturday Speaker Series is a monthly program presented by the Redmond Historical Society on every second Saturday (with the exception of June, July, August and December). Topics range from local, state and Pacific Northwest historical interest. There is a suggested $5 donation for non-members.

The rumble of bulldozers can be heard across The Bear Creek School campus each day. It is a welcome sound. After 25 years of steady growth, including 14 years at the campus on Union Hill in Redmond, The Bear Creek School is expanding. In June, Bear Creek began construction of a new 50,000-square-foot building on adjacent property south of the existing Redmond Campus on 208th Avenue Northeast. The facility will house the upper school (grades 9-12) and a fine and performing arts center.
and student-faculty interaction beyond the classroom walls. This atrium will also serve as the cafeteria midday and theater reception area in the evening. The fine and performing arts center will have an auditorium-style theater with 350 seats, a fly loft and high-quality sound and lighting systems. In addition to the theater, the performing arts center will include specially designed rooms for instruction in visual arts, music and drama, as well as dressing rooms and storage areas. The theater will be available for community rental when not in
use by the school. The new building will impact students in every division, not just the upper school. Over the next year as the building goes up, Bear Creek will reimagine its existing facilities to provide distinct, age-appropriate learning environments with additional space and flexibility for academic, programmatic and psychosocial student engagement and growth. With the new building, Bear Creek will gradually increase its graduating class size to 72 students, while individual classrooms or sections will remain at 16-18 students.

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.

Redmond Indian Association presents Diwali Festival JOHN C. BRANDY Special to the Reporter
The 2014 Redmond Indian Association’s annual Diwali Festival truly lit up our community of Redmond last Saturday night at Evergreen Middle School. This festival of lights symbolizes the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness — the victory of good over evil and the glory of light. This principle held true despite the weather and the difficulties that came from a major power outage. Everyone came together and Diwali, one of the most anticipated, important and glamorous festivals in India, was again a beautiful, bright

Jay Inslee was invited, and though unable to attend due to schedule conflicts, graciously wrote, “I applaud the Redmond Indian Association (RIA) for sponsoring today’s event. Celebrations like this help us gain a greater understanding of, and
appreciation for, other cultures and remind us that diversity is one of our state’s greatest strengths.” State Sen. Andy Hill and King County Council member Kathy Lambert were honored guests and helped to award the RIA’s 2014 Above and Beyond award, given to an orga-

ence was kept enthralled for more than two hours by the fantastic culture show put together by about 150 performers. The performers, mainly kids, invested more than two months in preparing for this event. Ramayana — the story of Lord Rama, presented in dance and
drama format — was highly appreciated by everyone. Keep an eye out for RIA’s 2015 Holi (festival of colors) — a springtime festival that marks the start of spring, and for many, the start of new year.

Halloween safety tips from AAA AAA Washington reminds motorists and pedestrians to slow down, be alert and travel with extra caution this Halloween. As pedestrians take to the streets to trick-or-treat, their risk of being injured by motorists increases greatly. In fact, Oct. 31 is ranked as one of the most dangerous nights of the year for pedestrians, with

an increase in the number of injuries and fatalities reported. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian is more than twice as likely to be killed if they are hit by a car traveling at 35 mph compared to 25 mph. What seems like a small difference — just 10 mph — can be the difference between life and death. Halloween is also a particularly deadly night due to the number of impaired drivers on roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that from 2007-2011, 23 percent of pedestrian fatalities on
Halloween night involved a drunk driver. “If you plan to attend a Halloween party, we strongly encourage you to designate a sober driver in advance,” said Jennifer Cook, AAA Washington spokesperson. “When Halloween falls on a Friday or Saturday night, more adults attend parties where alcohol is served and trickor-treaters tend to stay out later, because it’s not a work or school night. This can lead to a deadly combination.”

In an alternate yet familiar past, in a place where wonders abound for those who trust their imagination, a Seeker discovers that in order to glimpse the marvels that lie just below the surface, we must first learn to close our eyes. In his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the Seeker is convinced that there exists a hidden, invisible world — a place where the craziest ideas and the grandest dreams lay waiting. A collection of otherworldly characters suddenly steps into his makeshift mechanical world. When the outlandish, benevolent characters turn his world upside down with a touch of poetry and humor in an attempt to ignite the Seeker’s imagination, his curios jump to life one by one before his very eyes.
Ecology Youth Corps wrap up productive season Ecology Youth Corps crews picked up 501,275 pounds of litter this summer from 3,051 miles of roadways and 17 illegal dump sites in Washington. Youth crews picked up 645,135 pounds of litter last summer. But fewer teens were hired this year due to legislative action transferring over 50 percent of the litter tax to fund State Parks operations. Annually in Washington, more than 12 million pounds of unwanted items are tossed and blown onto roads. Washingtonians can do their part by putting recyclables and trash in proper receptacles and securing items loaded into vehicles properly. The Department of Ecology has employed more than 12,000 teens ages 14 to 17 to clean roadsides and other illegal dump sites since 1975. Youths from all over the state gain valuable job skills, teamwork experience, safety awareness and education about environmental topics. The agency also hires people 18 and older to clean more challenging roadways such as freeway medians, busy interchanges, and high-traffic areas. These crews will continue working through the end of the year. The agency will begin accepting applications for next summer in February 2015.

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene and state Reps. Drew Hansen and Chad Magendanz recently joined leaders from the business, nonprofit and education communities in calling for solutions and policy changes at the state and federal levels to address the shortage in computer science talent in Washington’s economy. “Developing a more robust computer science workforce is key to the economic vitality of Washington state, which is home to some of the most innovative technology companies in the world,” DelBene said at a Computer Science Roundtable hosted by Washington STEM at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. “Making computer science education policies a priority at the state and federal levels will help ensure our students are prepared to compete for the technology jobs of tomorrow.” A sampling of the promising solutions that were proposed to address the computer science talent
shortage in Washington state are as follows: • Develop partnerships with businesses, nonprofits and community groups to expand computer science opportunities beginning in early education through higher education. • Provide engaging computer science opportunities to underrepresented minorities and young women. • Increase computer science professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers, so they are prepared to teach students computer science. • Expand computer science degree production, particularly among underrepresented minorities and women, to meet the talent demands of employers. One promising solution discussed was House Bill 1472, which passed the Legislature with nearly unanimous support last year to count AP computer science as a math or science credit. House Bill 1472 was sponsored by Hansen, Magendanz, Rep. Cyrus Habib and Rep. Roger Freeman. By granting the

STEM. “Washington STEM is committed to engaging and working with policy, business, nonprofit, and education communities across the state to make the promising solutions discussed today a reality for our students.” According to Code.org, a nonprofit dedicated to growing K-12 computer science education in America, there are 19,058 open computing jobs in Washington and this number is growing at three times the state average. Despite the high demand of computing jobs, Washington state only produces 794 computer science graduates.
