Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Kurios’ to turn Marymoor into dream world
Seattle to Redmond: $1.33 billion loan on tap for light-rail extension ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
With a major project in the works, light rail will soon inch closer and closer to Redmond. Last week, the U.S. Department of Transportation rolled into action by announcing a $1.33 billion loan to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) for construction of the 14.5mile East Link Light Rail Extension Project from Seattle to Redmond.

In Cirque du Soleil’s latest production, audiences will discover a hidden world filled with crazy ideas and grand dreams. “Kurios,” which opens at Marymoor Park near Redmond on Thursday, follows an inventor who defies the laws of time, space and dimension in order to reinvent everything around him. According to the show’s website, “the visible becomes invisible, perspectives are transformed, and the world is literally turned upside down.” Karl L’Écuyer, a per-
former in the show, said during its San Francisco the production premiered run. in April 2014, openL’Écuyer said there are ing in Montreal about 46 artists and playing in in the show repQuebec City and resenting more ARTS & Toronto before ENTERTAINMENT than a dozen its run in San nationalities.

As the City of Redmond continues developing Overlake into an urban center, one of the things that comes with the work is new streets within Overlake Village. According to the city website, the area’s
lease, the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan will expand the Link system serving the Puget Sound region and help Sound Transit implement a voter-approved regional capital improvement plan. “This is really good news for Redmond and the Puget Sound region,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. “This partnership shows how Sound Transit is working creatively with its [ more RAIL page 9 ] transportation system is “built on a suburban model of big blocks and few streets.” This system limits motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists to use only a few streets, which contributes to traffic and congestion and less direct trips. To address this issue, the city’s Overlake Neighborhood Plan “calls for a finer street grid as properties redevelop,” which will “take shape over a number of years as property owners redevelop their properties,” the website states.

Egyptian orphans receive gifts from businesswoman, scouts SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Move in before the dog days of winter.
The first time Suzy BurkeMyers returned to Egypt after she and her family immigrated to the United States in 1969 was in 2009. During that trip, she went to Zagazig — her family’s hometown — and seeing the poverty that was so prevalent in the area moved her to want to help. “I’ve been so blessed in my life and I wanted to give back,” said Burke-Myers, a financial adviser for Edward Jones whose office is in downtown Redmond. In the past five years, she has worked with two orphanages — one for girls and one for boys — to help the organizations in various ways. Since 2009, she has been able to provide each orphanage with a bus for transporting the kids — who range from about 5-18 years old — to school and other places more safely than if they were to walk or use public transportation. She mostly works with the girls’ group and has also
helped them with getting a new, nine-story building built. Burke-Myers said four floors will be used to house the girls and the remaining floors will be used for things such as a computer center and possibly a medical clinic. Although she usually tries to visit once a year, BurkeMyers said there was a three-year period when she did not go because Egypt’s political unrest made it unsafe. Around Thanksgiving 2014, she was able to go back and just as she has in the past, she brought suitcase after suitcase (eight in all) filled with gifts for the orphans. “It was like Santa’s village,” Burke-Myers said with a laugh about the scene of her home as she packed for the trip. This time around, BurkeMyers also had a little help with the gifts for the girls from Girl Scout Troop 44271 in Redmond. Burke-Myers connected with the troop — whose members are in third grade

— after meeting troop leader Carolyn Scott at a Bellevue Rotary meeting. Scott said Burke-Myers gave a presentation on what she was doing in Egypt and Scott thought it was a perfect philanthropy project for the troop. This meeting was in October and Burke-Myers needed everything in less than two weeks before she left for her trip. Despite the short turnaround, the Girl Scouts were able to collect a good amount of toys, art supplies, school supplies and other little gifts such as hairbands for the orphanage’s residents. Some also donated clothes. “It was a great economics lesson,” Scott said about her daughter Kate Scott learning how to stretch their dollars in order to get as many gifts for the Egyptian girls as possible. For Kate, the project has also been a lesson in how unfair life can be. She said when she and her fellow troop members learned about the project, she thought it would be a really cool way to help others. But when they visited BurkeMyers’ office on Wednesday to hear about her trip, Kate saw how disadvantaged these children were. “I can help in small ways, but that’s it,” said Kate, who became emotional during the troop’s visit to BurkeMyers’ office. Burke-Myers showed the scouts photos of the girls at the Egyptian orphanage receiving the gifts they donated as well as the boys at their orphanage receiving gifts Burke-Myers got for them. The girls also saw photos of residents at a special-needs center receiving toothbrushes and toothpaste, which were donated by one of Burke-Myers’ friends who is a dentist. “I felt like Santa Claus,” Burke-Myers told the Girl Scouts. “You gave them something that was really special.” Abbey Conklin, another member of the troop, said it was sad to see how little these children had, and it felt good to help them. “I feel glad they enjoyed (the gifts we got them),” the 9-year-old said, adding that learning about these children’s situations has also helped her appreciate what she has at home. “I’m grateful that I have a mom and dad to take care of me.”

More than 50 years later, MLK’s dream is still a dream Earlier this week, I was standing at the front of the line for the checkout counter at a local bookstore. There was one man standing behind me but a few moments later, an Asian woman stepped in line behind him. The woman began calling to her young daughter — probably in preschool or kindergarten — in what I thought was a Chinese language. The man standing between us “ching-chonged” her, imitating her under his breath. I’m not sure if the other woman heard him or what her reaction to the man’s mutterings was, but when I heard his gibberish, I just froze. I’d like to say I turned around and gave him a piece of my mind, but unfortunately I was just reeling from the shock of hearing something so blatantly racist — something I hadn’t experienced since elementary school. I’m not usually so easily offended, but when the man bumped into my purse, I had this visceral reaction to pull my purse in front of me, away from the man. It wasn’t because I was worried about him snatching my purse or pickpocketing me; it was because the contact made me feel dirty. I just wanted to get as far away from this man as possible. As disturbing as the incident was on its own, the fact that it occurred on Monday — Martin Luther King Jr. Day — made things that much worse. Here was this holiday, celebrated to honor one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement who worked to end racism and dedicated his life to achieving equal rights for all, and here I was standing in close proximity of someone who had no qualms about mocking someone because they were different. It was King’s dream for his children to “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the Samantha Pak

content of their character.” Sadly, recent events in this country and around the world, as well as my experience from this week, have proved that King’s dream is still just that: a dream. As much progress as we have made in this world, we have not made enough. Our president may be black, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t faced discrimination and prejudice as a result of his race. What other president has had their birthplace and religion questioned as much as Barack Obama has — or has had them questioned at all? Newsflash: Island life on Hawaii may be a whole other world, but it is still part of the United States. I cannot accept some people’s claim that we live in a post-racial society. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, people have been holding the entire Muslim community — all 1.6 billion of them worldwide — responsible for the actions of just a handful of individuals. But where was this call for accountability for the Catholic community to accept responsibility when story after story broke about priests and other members of the church molesting children? You cannot tell me we are all equal when
a black woman has to warn her children that their mistakes can have more serious (and sometimes lethal) consequences than their non-black peers’ mistakes and then tells me it’s not a matter of fairness — it just is. A Mexican American high schooler once told me she has been met with surprise for enrolling in an advanced class — or for even just showing up to class. Do not tell me she is not being judged for being born brown. And if I get annoyed when someone walks up to me and asks — without so much as saying “hello” — where I am from, do not tell me to get over it. How would you feel if someone just looks at you and basically tells you that you could not possibly belong here? Here, in the community in which you were born, went to school, grew up and now work? Where in any of these scenarios are we being judged by our character? The sad truth is we’re not. And just as the saying about how long it took to build Rome goes, it’s apparently going to take more than 50 years for King’s dream to come true.

Edible gardens in schools could provide transformative learning experiences In my 12 years growing up in the Lake Washington School District, I never attended a school that had a school garden program. This is not uncommon: of the nine high schools, nine middle schools and 13 elementary schools I contacted in the district, only about a third of them have school gardens which students have the opportunity to participate in directly. As a student who really
struggled in school through all of those 12 years, I am certain that participating directly in a gardening experience would have been transformative. I believe I could have cultivated a valuable understanding of my relationship to the ecological world around me, creating an awareness earlier on of the need for sustainable practices, and I believe this learning would have contributed to me becoming a stronger, more integrated and passionate student as a whole. I believe this is true for all students, and especially for those that struggle most in school. Even those that don’t encounter as much struggle would benefit
from a more holistic, interactive education. Further, immense value comes from working in a garden that grows food. This creates immediate connections to our perception of food, and so has great implications for students’ learning about food choices and nutrition. Diet is also related to attention and students’ success in school. I urge local parents, administrators, teachers and community members to give students an educational gardening experience, and especially to grow edible plants. There is more than one way to do this, but there is one place I know of to turn to for sup-
port: the Whole Kids Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Whole Foods Market, provides grants to schools to build gardens. In other words, the funds are available — someone just has to ask for them! School gardens can be incorporated into general, or many elective, science curriculums, home economics or even health classes — there’s many different ways to tie gardening into learning. It is valuable to do this as soon as possible — there may be a student, even your child, right now who struggles in school and would benefit from working and caring for a school garden.

Making sure you have safe, reliable, high-quality, greattasting water every time you turn on the tap is the goal of Cascade Water Alliance, the municipal corporation of which Redmond is a part. You don’t hear about it, and you may not know about it, and we doubt you even think about it. But because of the work we as board members and the City of Redmond have done over the past 15 years, you won’t have to worry that our city will have sufficient water for work, business and play for the next century. Cascade Water Alliance was formed 15 years ago with the cities of Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah and Tukwila and the water districts serving the Sammamish Plateau and Skyway, so residents could have a voice and a vote in how to serve the needs of our growing communities. To prepare for future regional needs, Cascade purchased Lake Tapps, in east Pierce County, as its own water source. To do this, and to be able to operate the entire White River/ Lake Tapps project for water supply, we made agreements with the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to ensure in-stream

Overlake School’s boys and girls basketball teams are sharing their team spirit with special-needs basketball players as part of the ninth annual Redmond Basketball Jamboree from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Redmond High. Hosted by the City of Redmond’s Adaptive Recreation Program, this event is a 31-team basketball competition for King County Special Olympics Masters squads (ages 22 and older). The day is dedicated to athletes in the adaptive recreation programs as a “warm up” to help determine at what level they

New year, new jobs: AT&T hiring in Redmond
1231529
As reported from a business roundtable last month, chief executives at the largest U.S. companies, including AT&T, plan to step up hiring. The business roundtable said that 40 percent of its member CEOs plan to hire more workers, up from 34 percent in the third quarter. Making good on its forecast to hire more workers locally, AT&T announced that nearly 80 new employees are needed for retail sales, customer service and service technician jobs located in Western Washington with multiple openings available in Redmond and Issaquah. All interested job seekers may also apply online by visiting the AT&T online
will compete in the Special Olympics. For the second year, Overlake’s program has embraced this event for team community service. The students from Overlake will volunteer to be referees and scorekeepers for the games. “The day wouldn’t be possible without volunteer referees and scorekeepers,” wrote Barbe Eggerud, City of Redmond’s Adaptive Recreation and Inclusion Services Program coordinator, She noted that last year, Overlake players Katon Minhas and LT Cosmos volunteered as assistant coaches with the City of
Redmond’s Adaptive Recreation Basketball program. “When Katon’s mom, Jennifer Minhas, found out about the need for volunteers for the Redmond Jamboree, she approached the Overlake School basketball program to see if any of the athletes would be interested in volunteering,” Eggerud added. “Jennifer received such a positive response that she was able to fill almost every volunteer position available for the entire jamboree.” This year, Katon and Cosmos will return as assistant coaches and Jennifer is once again organizing all of the Overlake athletes to volunteer at the jamboree.
job center at www.att.jobs. Selected candidates will receive paid job training. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, pension and/ or 401(k) savings plans and a wide range of potential career opportunities. AT&T is one of the largest employers in America and currently employs approximately 4,400 people in Washington. The company has set the standard for building jobs and investment based on a consumerfocused environment. With highly competitive wages and benefits, AT&T jobs are among the best in the United States.

McBride said, “After living and working on the Eastside for over 50 years, I am honored to serve my constituents in this new role.” A veteran of public service on the local level, Rep. McBride’s experience has prepared her well her for new positions on the Local Government, Environment, Transportation and Rules committees. “I know this will be a challenging session,” said Rep. McBride. “There are so many tough issues to tackle: reforming our regressive tax system, passing a transportation revenue package, and fully funding education. But, at the core, I believe there is nothing more important than building a prosperous Washington, with opportunity for all. I am excited and ready to face these issues head-on.”
VALA Eastside announces new artist opportunities for 2015 VALA Eastside of Redmond invites artists to submit new works for their Springtime Juried Art Show. Approximately 30 2D and 3D visual artworks will be chosen to be part of the show at the VALA Art Center & Studios (16409 N.E. 74th St., Redmond Town Center) from March 4-April 12. Special considerations will be given to artists who have never exhibited works with VALA or artists applying with new works that have not been shown in public yet. The deadline to apply for the show is at 5 p.m. Feb. 5. VALA Eastside is also seeking visual artists to serve as “artist in residence” at the VALA Art Center & Studios for a two-month period in 2015. The program gives local
artists the opportunity and studio space to develop an art project of their choosing then implement it in a way that creates a strong connection to the local community. “The Artist in Residence program is critical to VALA’s mission and helps empower artists by giving them the freedom and resources to develop their own program,” says Marianne Johnson, art programs director at VALA. Artists will be selected through a multi-part application process that will consist of a submission of application materials and, if selected, an interview and formal presentation of the artist’s proposed project. Interviews will be conducted in early March and project proposals from final candidates will take place in late March. The deadline to apply is at 5 p.m. Feb. 12.

is expected to serve approximately 50,000 daily riders by 2030. Sen. Andy Hill (45th Legislative District, R-Redmond) said that leveraging the federal loan will allow the region to invest in additional transportation infrastructure, giving residents more value for their tax dollars. “Over the next decade, the Redmond area will continue expanding transportation options ranging from roads, to multi-use paths like the Redmond Central Connector, to the arrival of light rail. Adding stability to these projects will enable area businesses to plan for future development that addresses the needs of Redmond residents and employees,” Hill said. According to Sound Transit, extending light rail in this corridor
partners to connect our region together with a quality transit system. The TIFIA loan helps fund Link light rail to Overlake, which brings us one step closer to our goal of funding light rail all the way to downtown Redmond.” OneRedmond CEO Bart Phillips said he was pleased with the announcement, as well: “The Redmond and Eastside economy is based on access and mobility of talent. A robust multi-modal is a necessity if the region wants to grow, retain and recruit the types of knowledge-based firms that have defined the Eastside economy.” Construction is expected to begin later in 2015, with a targeted opening date of 2023. The new line
— which is one element of a 50mile system — is aimed at creating 40,000 jobs in construction and future economic development, as well as increase access to growing software and biotech industries in the greater metropolitan area. “This project demonstrates the great things that can happen when federal, state and local partners work together to make critical transportation infrastructure investments,” said Sylvia Garcia, Department of Transportation (DOT) chief financial officer and assistant secretary for Budget and Programs. DOT is also contributing $74.7 million in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds and $14 million in TIGER V funds toward the $4 billion East Link Project.

stating that the first parts of the new grid are under construction at Esterra Park, the first major urban mixed-use redevelopment in Overlake Village. The new streets, which will vary in length, will run west to east from 148th Avenue Northeast to 156th Avenue Northeast and north to south from just southwest of Northeast 31st Street to Northeast 20th Street. Jeff Churchill, a senior planner for the city, said the themes running through all of the new street names will be innovation, technology, creativity and diversity. The north-south streets will be named after artists, anchored by Da Vinci Avenue for the artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci. The remaining north-south streets are named for artists Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas, Louis Jean Lumière, Alexander Calder, Martha Graham and Rabindranath Tagore. The west-east streets will be named for technology innovators, anchored by Turing Street, named for Alan Turing,
widely regarded as the father of computer science. The remaining west-east streets will be named after technology innovators Abū ‘Alī al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, Yvonne Madelaine Brill, Grace Hopper and Shen Kuo. Collectively, the street names represent people who have lived in five different centuries and in eight countries on three continents. “They’re all very interesting people,” Churchill said. He added that the streets are literal intersections of where art meets technology, which is how they view the Overlake neighborhood. The street names are meant to enhance Overlake Village’s character and sense of place, the website states. According to the website, over time, the city will integrate elements of these individuals’ names and stories into the fabric of the village itself and street signs will be installed as new streets are constructed, beginning with new streets in the Esterra Park development.

Redmond High’s boys swimmers get fired up before Tuesday’s home meet with Eastlake High. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter a senior captain, will head to state for the fourth straight year and hopes to finally make it into championship finals. Last year, he was part of three relays and swam in the 100 breast (10th-place finisher), and the previous two years he tackled the 200-yard 1/12/15 4:37 PM individual medley.
“I’m happy that I made state because I never made state in a dual meet (always the league or district championships). This is a pretty big year for me,” said Xavier, who qualified in the first meet of the season against Juanita. On hopefully pushing through to the state finals this year, he added: “You just got to work harder,
you can never work too hard.” He also competes with Ivan on the Issaquah Swim Team. Jonsson, a junior, was also a member of three state relays last year and thrives on working hard to get stellar results. The Mustang said he gets goosebumps and a boost of energy when teammates cheer him on.

He’s been swimming since he was 10 years old and doesn’t want to stop anytime soon. “It takes a decent load of dedication to be a swimmer, and once you get into this group of people with similar thinking, similar work ethic as you (it’s satisfying),” Jonsson said. Markling, a former water-polo player when he lived in California, got hooked on Redmond High swimming as a freshman and qualified for state as part of the 200-yard freestyle relay last year. “The closest thing up here to water polo is swimming, and I just fell in love with it. I just realized how supportive the swim team was of each other and how much of a family we became,” the junior said. Senior captain Ryan Harper is one of five members of his family to take part in Redmond High swimming. He’s been swimming since age 5 and enjoys the team aspect of the program along with working hard in practice and at meets. Harper was part of the state 200-yard medley relay last year and has qualified for districts this season in the 100 breast and 200 IM. His older sister Heather, a Redmond High state champion in the 100 breast, told him something once that never faded from his mind: “She told me that if you try as hard as you can in every race, then you’ll succeed in swimming — that’s really kept me going.”

Transitional housing nonprofit honors Redmond’s ABODA attended a philanthropy class while pursuing his master’s in business administration at Seattle University. There he learned about Way Back Inn and its mission. Little did he realize then that this chance meeting would make him a philanthropic matchmaker. Caple had just joined ABODA as its new vice

Formed in 1991, Way Back Inn has already helped more than 1,500 children and their families by providing well-maintained transitional housing and services. They offer both a shorter-

Mail thefts are on the rise
Detectives have arrested several suspects, but mail boxes continue to be an easy target of opportunity for thieves. The suspects are looking for mail that contains items they can turn around quickly such as gift cards and/or cash. If they find checks they are washing them, making them out to themselves and changing the amounts, the release states. While the thefts happen
at all hours of the day, most occur during two different time periods, noon to 2 p.m. and midnight to 2 a.m. The suspects target traditional mailboxes, yet they are not deterred by locking ones either. They will pry open locked boxes and have even gone so far as to use a torch on the hinges on a bank of mailboxes like those found in many housing developments, the release states.
To protect themselves from these thefts, the release advises people to make it a habit to collect their mail every day and to not leave their mail in the box overnight. Also, the release suggests people consider buying a locking mailbox. If they are going on vacation, they should either arrange for a neighbor to collect their mail or ask the post office to hold their mail until they return.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
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.
