Driver charged in fatal rear-end collision; bail set at $100,000 ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
One driver died and another was injured in a two-car collision at the intersection of Avondale Road and Northeast Union Hill Road early last Saturday morning.
Robert Malsch, 21, of Lynnwood was charged on Wednesday in King County Superior Court with vehicular homicide, hit-andrun felony and reckless driving. On Monday, court set his bail at $100,000, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Of-
fice. Malsch’s arraignment is scheduled for March 18 at the Seattle courthouse. On Monday on its media information line, the King County Medical Examiner’s office identified the deceased man as 30-yearold Mike Ey. He died at the scene. (See story below.)

According to Redmond Police Department (RPD) Cmdr. Shari Francois, Redmond police and fire crews responded to the collision reported by a passerby at approximately 1:16 a.m. on Saturday. As police officers arrived, Malsch was seen running
from one of the vehicles involved in the rear-end collision, during which both vehicles — Malsch’s red 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit and Ey’s white 2010 Honda Fit — had exited State Route 520, said RPD Lt. Julie Beard. An RPD K-9 team tracked Malsch
a short distance away, and court documents state that after Malsch was located, one officer “noted a faint odor of intoxicants on Malsch’s breath and another noted he had physical signs consistent with having consumed intoxicants.” [ more CRASH page 9 ]

City purchases Keller Farm property to preserve Bear Creek, other waters SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
The City of Redmond has purchased the Keller Farm, seen here from Avondale Road Northeast in Redmond. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
After a number of years of interest, the City of Redmond has purchased an 83-acre parcel of floodplain located to the northwest of Bear Creek and east of Avondale Road. The sale went through at the end of January and the property — known as the Keller Farm — represents the largest piece of unde-
veloped land in Redmond, adjacent to Bear Creek.
A FAMILY FARM
Prior to the sale, the land had been owned by the Keller family since the early 1880s, according to an informational plaque about the property. The farm was started by Morris Joseph Keller, who went by Joseph, after he married Helen Woodin — of the pioneering family who founded Wood-
inville. The couple settled on the 160-acre piece of land, originally a homestead. This meant it was given free to anyone who was willing to farm it, said Al Keller, one of Joseph and Woodin’s grandsons and one of the four Keller siblings who sold the land to the city. The property was passed down to Joseph and Woodin’s eldest son, Al’s father Ralph, and then passed down to Al’s eldest brother
Fred. Their remaining two siblings are Dan and Marcia. With the exception of Fred, the remaining Kellers are scattered throughout the country. “It feels really strange because the farm was always there,” Al said of selling the property. The 83 acres acquired by the city represents what is left of the Keller property — except for about seven and a [ more KELLER page 7 ]

What’s it worth to help pick a president? It is Washington’s quadrennial quandary. Every four years, the conversation starts anew on how to make this state’s presidential primary meaningful in the process of electing the nation’s next leader. And should an election even be held if it can’t be done? Conducting a primary in 2016 will cost taxpayers an estimated $11.5 million. The predicament is that voters desire one thing and the Democratic and Republican parties want something else, leaving the state’s chief election officer to bring the opposing forces together. Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman thinks she can pull it off for 2016, though she needs support of the Legislature and agreement from the Democratic Party. More on her plan in a moment. Here’s the history: Washington is first, and forever, a caucus state. At those caucuses, the truly faithful of the Democratic and Republican parties gather to choose the delegates to the national conventions, where each party officially nominates its candidate for the Oval Office. In 1988 a few voters got it in their heads that they wanted a say in the process. More than 200,000 people signed an Initiative to the Legislature calling for a presidential primary to give voice to a far greater number of the state’s voters. In theory, candidates would take note of this new primary and make sure the trail of their campaign passed through Washington. It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four leading presidential candidates — Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley — campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Jerry Cornfield

Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations. But for the most part it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely. That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At this point that’s what it will do in 2016. The Republican Party, meanwhile, has allotted half its delegates based on the primary-election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016. Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office, with a plan for dealing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running. She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super Tuesday binge of contests. Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percentage delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats are not, yet.
An earlier primary could lure the Democratic Party to sign on because that could give Washington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates. “The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” Wyman said. If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick-a-party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates. If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 million. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presidential primary to mean something. This election is too important.”

Nokomis building: Part of Redmond’s heritage After reading the Redmond Reporter article dated Feb. 6 about the Nokomis building property, I would like to express concern about the future use of this property. I picked up a green flier on the site and found the specifics about the future building. Nowhere in the Reporter article does it mention that the property will house 96 200-square-feet sleeping units with only 29 parking spaces. Though we already have many six-story high-rise apartments and condos in the downtown area, this is very high-density use. I understand that the developer is interested in “affordable” and green housing in the downtown corridor but 200 square feet sounds very small and more like a dormitory than “affordable” housing. Does Redmond have the goods and services that the residents of this housing need to help sustain the lifestyle? We have very few delicates-
sens and reasonably priced restaurants in downtown Redmond. I am not certain that we have a laundromat in the vicinity either. Will there be laundry facilities in the building? Another concern is that the Nokomis building was built in the 1930s by the Work Progress Administration and is one of the only buildings from that era that has survived. Some of the landmarked buildings in Old Town might meet the criteria, but surely an historical use can be found for this structure so that it can remain part of Redmond’s history. It would also be useful for community gatherings. For the sake of historic preservation, I ask that the owner, builder and the City of Redmond find a way to preserve this part of our Redmond heritage.

Thank you, Redmond Ben Franklin and your customers When United States Armed Forces deploy to
bases in third-world countries, they become involved in goodwill projects that improve lives of the locals. The United States Army Civil Affairs Team based at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti, Horn of Africa, asked for craft and sewing supplies that residents in a women’s shelter could use to learn skills in becoming self-supporting. Redmond’s Ben Franklin Craft Store answered the call by notifying their customers of the need and serving as the drop-off location for an amazing amount of wonderful donated items. Thank you to all who participated; your kindness is helping these women establish a cottage industry that will sustain them and future women in their impoverished country. Helping the local population with projects such as this gives our troops the greatest morale boost of their deployments — this has been a win/win project!

another employee. The suit was filed on Feb. 25 by Ted Stockwell and Eric Engstrom, who were terminated from Microsoft in December 2013 and January 2014, respectively. The two had been with the company off and on since the late 1980s and 1990s, respectively. According to court documents obtained by the Redmond Reporter, the suspicious expenses were from an employee referred to as “John Doe” in the documents. Some of the reports Doe turned in “were in excess of $7,000.” Stockwell also noted some Size: 5.75”expenses X 10.5” were just vaguely

described as “entertainment expenses,” which Doe told Stockwell told were for “hostess bars” in South Korea, according to court documents. Upon learning this, the documents state, Stockwell asked Doe if he was “expensing prostitution services of hostesses.” Doe denied this. Doe came to work for Stockwell and Engstrom’s team, who were developing a strategic initiative known as Bing as a Platform (BaaP), in fall of 2010, the documents state. Doe had been working in Microsoft’s Search Technology Center Asia prior to this and was on loan to Stockwell and Engstrom to assist them in pitching a pilot project to a corporate partner, according to the court papers. At the time, Stockwell was in charge of approving Doe’s expenses and it was at the end of February or beginning of March 2011 that the former became concerned about the on-loan employee’s reports, according to court documents. “Stockwell soon realized that the expense reports Doe had

filed were an entire order of magnitude greater than Stockwell had initially understood,” the documents state. Stockwell shared his concerns with Engstrom, his manager, about the size of the expenses he had approved for Doe and told Engstrom that he believed Doe was expensing hostess bars and potentially prostitution. “Stockwell and Engstrom were both aware that in Korea and other parts of Asia, ‘hostess bars’ often provide sexual services to their customers,” court documents state. Engstrom reported to their concerns his boss, Corporate Vice President Erik Jorgensen, who referred them to human resources manager Jeff Williams. On March 22, 2011, Stockwell provided Williams with a spreadsheet showing “more than $22,000 in ‘entertainment expenses’ that Doe incurred while assigned to work on Stockwell’s team in Korea,” according to court documents.

March 6, 2015 [5] tigation into Doe’s expense reports and Engstrom and Stockwell asked not to have to approve any more expense reports from Doe while the investigation was underway. In or around June 2011, Stockwell gave Doe an employee-performance rating reflecting the expense issue as well as other performance issues, the documents state. The court papers continue, stating that the company raised Doe’s rating without Stockwell or Engstrom’s involvement, “which is a significant departure from company practice.” In addition, the BaaP project was taken away from Engstrom and Stockwell and “their success in developing the BaaP initiative went unacknowledged,” documents state. Following this incident, court documents state that the two former managers and their teams had received poor performance ratings — some were adjusted after they voiced their concerns, and some were not. These poor ratings — sometimes the worst possible a Microsoft employee could receive — were in spite of Stockwell’s and Engstrom’s significant contributions to major company projects as well as a leadership award Engstrom received in October 2013, documents state. The pair were also threatened with demotions — some of which were implemented — and given significantly smaller teams to work with on projects. In addition, one of their major international projects, the “Brazil” initiative — which included the “creation of a commercial (application) and partnering with large consumer brands in an effort to compete with Amazon — was scrapped, even though Stockwell had been able to line up a number of potential partners, according to the documents. Following Stockwell’s and Engstrom’s terminations, the Brazil project was restarted under a different name. In a prepared statement, Microsoft responded to Stockwell’s and Engstrom’s claims, stating, “We’ve carefully reviewed this case and found nothing to substantiate the speculation in the complaint or the allegation of retaliation, and we’re confident a court will agree with us. We always encourage employees to raise concerns that they may have, and take such reports seriously.” Through the lawsuit, Stockwell and Engstrom are seeking damages for back pay, front pay, lost benefits, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation, personal indignity, embarrassment, fear, anxiety, and/or anguish. The amount would be determined at trial, according to court documents.

Transportation package will affect 520 into Overlake area This week, the state Senate passed a $15.1 billion transportation package that includes projects affecting Redmond and the greater Eastside.

will also give drivers direct access to Overlake Village, the planned development at the former Group Health Cooperative campus, as well as a more direct route into the Microsoft campus, Myers said. In addition, he said the new exit will generate new business and development in the area, ensuring the state a return on its investment. The transportation package also includes a funding for widening Interstate 405 and completing the west side of the State Route 520 floating bridge. King County Executive Dow Constantine said he is
encouraged by the Senate passing a transportation package. “The Senate bill includes many of the important elements that our King County coalition has sought all along: preservation and maintenance of our deteriorating roads and highways, investments in cities and counties, and increasing transportation options,” he said. In addition to the plans for these projects, the transportation package also includes an 11.7-cent-per-gallon gas tax increase. “Obviously, without the financing plan, the projects won’t get built,” Myers said.

identified in the $15.1 billion package, including the gastax increase. “I think that the revenue source is fine, and I like the spending in general, with some exceptions,” he said. However, Habib joined a number of Democrats on the transportation committee in voting against sending the package to the floor due to a Republican-led policy — or a “poison pill” — that would divert transit, pedestrian, bike path, state patrol and local-improvement monies in the package to roads, should Gov. Jay Inslee issue an executive order setting low-carbon fuel standards.
Myers said according to Washington’s constitution, revenue from gas taxes must be used for roads. However with this package, a compromise was struck so that 20 percent of the revenue raised would go to multi-modal transportation projects such as buses and light rail. Myers said Inslee has an important decision to make, but added that there is still one more month left in the legislative session and anything can happen in the meantime.

This funding bill was passed by a 27-22 margin. Myers said the bill needed 25 yes votes to pass, but it needed 30 yes votes to give the state the authority to sell bonds for the proposed projects. He said this would give the state money up front to pay for the projects. Whereas with the alternative — not selling bonds — the state would be on a “pay-as-yougo” basis with its projects. Sen. Cyrus Habib, DKirkland, was one of the 22 senators to vote against the gas-tax increase. As previously reported, he said he approved most of the projects and revenue sources

Postdoc Brewing Company taps into the Redmond beer scene ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Nine beers a-flowing and a load of smiles and congratulatory pats on the back. That was the scene at the Feb. 27 grand-opening gathering for the Postdoc Brewing Company in Redmond, which featured a large crowd spilling into the brewery and tap room and Mayor John Marchione cracking a cask. Four Union Hill neighbors — Tom Schmidlin and his wife Julie Lindemann, along with Jonny Chambers and his wife Debbie Chambers — opened their 4,000-square-foot space (3,000 for the brewery and 1,000 for the tap room) in December 2014 and things have been running smoothly the whole way. The business is located at

half acres in the northwest corner of the farm (near the intersection of Avondale Road Northeast and 180th Avenue Northeast), which remains in private ownership. According to a flier distributed by the city, 30 acres of Keller Farm were previously sold to the Washington State Department of Transportation for a mitigation project, which was completed in 2013. Al, who now lives in California, called the farm a home base, saying he would occasionally bring his family up to visit. And while it has been several years since he has lived up here, Al still remembers his days growing up on the farm. He said one of the first jobs they had as farm kids was feeding calves. Al also remembers the workhorses they owned when he was young as they did not have

Courtesy photo 17625 N.E. 65th St., #100, near the east side of Marymoor Park. “I’ve been dreaming about having a brewery for over 20 years,” said Schmidlin, a homebrewer for two decades. “It feels great. We’ve put a lot of
hard work into it and we’re realizing the fruits of our labors. I work way harder now than I ever did at any other job, but I enjoy it a lot more, so it’s definitely worth it.” Added Jonny Chambers, who hails from Portadown
tractors until later. “Like pictures I’ve seen of German peasants in the 1930s, we used wooden sleds on which to pile the hay high, pulled by a team of big bay horses,” he said. Al said he also remembers having a victory garden during World War II and planting corn “Indian style,” with one fish under each mound of corn seed. “Worked well!” he said about the technique.
Roger Dane, a senior planner for the city’s natural resources division, said Bear Creek is a significant area for salmon producing and the plan is to restore it to be more fish friendly. Some of the steps they plan to take, he said, include redirecting a hillside spring away from a roadside ditch. There are also plans to restore the area, which had been flattened to be used as a farmland, to a wooded area. Dane said they also plan to repair the buffer between the creek and the road. In addition, he said turning the land into a wooded area will re-establish shade over Bear Creek, cooling the water and making it more inhabitable by fish. Beam added that another large job in the area’s restoration is removing invasive plant species such as blackberries and hemlock. Once those plants are
RESTORATION WORK
Cathy Beam, a principal planner for the city, said the area is an ecologically important piece of land as it has been identified as critical in preserving and restoring the region’s environmental interests. She said acquiring the land is an opportunity for an ecological lift for the area, which will benefit the site as well as the watershed and Bear Creek.
in Northern Ireland: “After many nights, after a few beers, we decided that we’d be dead someday and may as well just do it.” Schmidlin, who holds a doctorate in biochemistry — with a focus on yeast and protein — from the University of Washington, inspired the name for the business since brewing is his form of postdoctorate studies. A beer man through and through, Schmidlin is a founding member of the Washington Home Brewers Association and was part of the team that successfully worked with state government to enable homebrewers to take their product outside of their abodes. He’s also a certified beer judge and snagged the 2006 Wynkoop Brewing Beer Drinker of the Year honor. The foursome acquired
the building in February 2014, the equipment arrived last summer and was installed in December. Schmidlin and Debbie work at Postdoc full time, and Jonny and Lindemann are part-timers when they’re not at their day jobs as an IT director for the UW’s School of Dentistry and a project manager, respectively. Jonny was formerly a sales director at Microsoft for 13 years. Postdoc offers a wide range of beers: Alpha Factor IPA, Cram Session Coffee Porter, Hogus Maximus (triple IPA, 11.1 percent alcohol by volume), Homeroom Belgium Rye, Kilty MacSporran Scottish Ale, Macropus Rufus Imperial Hoppy Red, Postdoc Porter, Prereq Pale Ale and Seamus O’Brien Irish Stout. Brewing has poured onto
the Redmond business scene over the years and Postdoc joins other homegrown spots like Mac & Jack’s Brewery, Black Raven Brewing Company, Bushnell Craft Brewing Company and Hi-Fi Brewing. Mayor Marchione discussed the Redmond-beer connection at the grand opening: “In November of 1912, a baby was born, making him the 300th person in Redmond, so we were legally able to go incorporate. The first ordinance passed in Redmond was allowing for taverns and bars to serve alcohol. Redmond has a history of community through shared drinks and this just contributes to that 103 years later.” For more information, visit www.postdocbrewing. com.
removed, she said, they will be replaced with plants that are native to wetlands. Beam said the goal is to plant a variety of species for diversity. To re-establish the farmland to its former wooded roots, Beam said the city has hired a consultant — Habitat Bank — to create a wetland mitigation bank on the property as well as to design, permit and install environmental enhancements on the area. According to the city flier, the city will “have an opportunity to evaluate the proposed design as part of the permit review for the enhancement work.” The flier states that “Habitat Bank will be responsible for site maintenance starting summer 2015, and will maintain the site for at least 10 years after restoration work is complete to ensure establishment of the native plants.” “This is a long process,”
Beam said about restoring the floodplain. She said it will take a few years before any actual work begins and before that happens, there will be a permitting process as well as opportunities for public input.
said about the city’s newly acquired property. Wilkins said reverting the land to its natural state will be great for salmon, improve water quality and help with flood storage. For Al, Bear Creek brings memories of his childhood. When he was a boy, he would build canoes to take up the creek, which would join the Sammamish River, connecting him to the world. “Bear Creek ran through the farm, where we skinny kids swam and sometimes caught rainbow trout that we then were required to eat,” he said. As strange as it may be to no longer have the farm in his family, Al said he is glad to know the city is planning to restore the area to help preserve the area creeks. “I’m pleased by that,” he said.
PRESERVING LOCAL WATERS
As a member of Water Tenders, a nonprofit organization formed about 25 years ago to ensure the Bear Creek basin remains intact and healthy, Susan Wilkins is excited about the sale. “It’s really a big deal,” she said. Wilkins, who lives in Redmond at the top of Education Hill, said the purchase of the property is another piece of the preservation puzzle for Bear and Evans creeks. “It provides a buffer (for the creeks) from development on both sides,” she

the State Route 520 offramp in Redmond. Johnson recalls the evening in Seattle: “We had fun, we just sort of talked and watched some stuff on Netflix. (When Ey left) it was pretty late for him, actually — he liked to go to bed early. I’m sure he was in a good mood the entire drive home.”
Ey, Johnson, Piering and Cochran all met at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York about nine years ago. Ey was born in Hopewell, N.J., and was a software engineer at Microsoft Corp., where he and Johnson were part of teams working on the groundbreaking HoloLens project, which “brings highdefinition holograms to life in
your world, where they integrate with your physical places, spaces, and things,” according to the Microsoft website. HoloLens aims to empower people to achieve more, and that’s exactly what Ey was all about, Johnson said. “He was absolutely thrilled to be out here with his friends working on something this incredible. He was good at it, too,” said Johnson, a senior software engineer. “I’m really glad he got to experience that. It was a real special privilege to be able to work with a close friend on something like this.” Ey and Johnson worked
together before on school projects and when developing a video game. Ey, who studied game design and development and graduated from RIT in 2010, previously worked at IMVU in Mountain View, Calif., before hooking up with Microsoft in June 2013 after Johnson suggested he interview at the Redmond campus. Johnson hates to admit it, but he felt Ey was a little more productive than himself. Ey — who was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the HoloLens project — “just really picked things up super quickly and (could) really wrap
his head around problems and was very detail oriented,” Johnson said. Piering echoed Johnson’s comments that Ey was an all-around dependable person: “It doesn’t matter what you ask him to do, he’ll get it done, or he’ll find a way to get it done, or he’ll learn how to get it done. And he’s always happy to help.” While living in the Bay Area with Ey, Piering said that Johnson contacted Ey from Microsoft and informed him of a mystery project that would be an ideal fit for him. Ey and Piering put their trust in Johnson and moved up to
the Seattle area to check out the project, which would soon be revealed as HoloLens. “He was so excited. He couldn’t tell me anything. We moved up here not knowing what he was working on — at all,” Piering said. “He came home from work the first day, he’s like, ‘It is really cool.’ Once Microsoft made an announcement about HoloLens, Piering said that Ey was thrilled and sent her links all day, with an especially crucial one being when they were on Livestream. Later that day, he asked Piering, “Did you see it?”

www.redmond-reporter.com [ crash from page 1] Beard said Malsch was traveling at a high speed and rear-ended Ey, whose vehicle was stopped at a traffic light off SR 520 and Avondale. The Honda Fit had severe damage from the collision after spinning off the roadway, rolling over and striking a cement sign, according to court documents and Francois’
release. According to court documents, a witness driver estimated that Malsch was driving at “100-plus mph” on SR 520 — which has a posted 60-mph speed limit — and nearly hit his vehicle prior to the collision, which took place in a 40-mph zone. It is not clear how fast Malsch was driving at the time of the accident. Malsch was the only occu-
pant in his vehicle, which came to rest in the roadway. Court documents state that “Malsch was found in the driver’s seat by the witness who reported he was ‘frantically’ trying to start the car and later fled on foot when officers arrived.” Court documents state that after the collision, Malsch “never offered to help the victim driver or to provide his information as required by
law after being involved in a collision resulting in the death of another driver.” Malsch was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for non-life-threatening injuries and was placed under arrest and booked into the King County Jail, according to court documents and the RPD press release and follow-up emails. Malsch took two blood
tests, one of which was sent to the Washington State Toxicology laboratory and one that revealed his blood-alcohol level to be approximately three times the legal limit of .08, court documents state. If he’s released on bail, the state requests that Malsch not use or possess alcohol, marijuana or non-prescribed drugs, not enter any business where alcohol or marijuana is
the primary commodity for sale, not drive without a valid license and insurance, have an ignition interlock device set at .02 installed and have no moving violations. Malsch has no known criminal conviction history and “he appears to be a flight risk given his inability to provide verifiable information to Court Services,” documents state.

Poll shows that voters feel STEM education is important Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com
Results from a recent Washington STEM poll were released, showing that 94 percent of voters in the state believe every child should have access to a high-quality STEM education. However, only 45 percent believe schools are deliver-
ing. Washington STEM is a statewide nonprofit organization that was launched in March 2011 with the goal to re-imagine and revitalize STEM education across the state. At Lake Washington School District (LWSD), STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math) is a priority.
Matt Manobianco, associate superintendent for LWSD, said a few years ago, the district administration asked themselves what kind of STEM-related programming they could offer students. He said this was outside of Tesla STEM High School, the district’s choice school in Redmond that opened a few years ago. Manobianco said the
district did not want to pigeonhole students and have them thinking that if they were interested in STEM, that STEM High School is not their only option. As a result, schools throughout the district — at all grade levels — have developed STEM programs and activities for before and after school as well as in-class curriculum.
“STEM doesn’t just start in high school,” Manobianco said. At Horace Mann Elementary School in Redmond, the PTSA has offered after-school enrichment programs for several years and has recently added a few STEM-focused programming to its curriculum. Gretchen Connors, the
after-school enrichment coordinator for the Mann PTSA, said they offer math classes for all grades and robotics and computer programming classes for students in second through fifth grade. She said math has been offered for quite a while, but the robotics and computer programming classes have been recent [ more stem page 11 ]
...today’s parent How to get your teens to become lifelong readers In today’s age of technology, it’s easy for teens to reject books in favor of gadgets. As these emerging technologies become increasingly important in society, parents should reinforce the educational and entertainment benefits of reading.
Here are a few tips for encouraging your children to love the written word. • If your kids believe that reading is a chore, they’ll stop as soon as your influence over them begins to wane or they are no longer required to read for school. Instead, show them that reading is a source of fun. In order to do this, posi-

tion reading as a “reward.” When they get good grades, take them to the bookstore. When they finish their homework in the evening, give teens “reading privileges,” as you may be inclined to do with electronic sources of media. • One of the most important things you can do is make sure that your kids have positive early experiences with books. This will shape their opinions of reading for the rest of their lives. Beyond school assignments, be sure your teens are reading compelling literature for fun. The best way to do this is to give them books that you know they’ll enjoy — that way, they’ll always be either reading or anticipating their next read. Serial literature can be a great way to accomplish the goal of keeping kids interested. • Let your kids see you reading. If they know that you like to read, then they’ll imitate your behavior. Teens may not always act like it, but they do look up to you. Don’t replace reading with interacting with your teens; instead, read at a time when they are already engaging in independent activities.

Karasek’s next case-setting hearing is March 9 Mark Karasek, 22, who pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder after his father, Zdenek Karasek, was shot and killed on Jan. 9, will have his next case-setting hearing on March 9, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. As previously reported, the two had allegedly been arguing all day prior to the incident at their home in unincorporated King County near Redmond. According to the report, several individuals in the Karaseks’ home witnessed the two arguing and heard gunshots, though no one actually saw what had allegedly
happened. Mark was charged with second-degree murder.
Welker found competent to stand trial Christine Welker, a 54-year-old Redmond woman who was charged with assault in the first degree — domestic violence for reportedly stabbing her 66-year-old husband on the morning of April 28, 2014, was found competent to stand trial and will have a casesetting hearing on March 10, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office. According to a court document dated Feb. 24, “the court took judicial notice of the record and proceedings in the cause and the report(s) from Western State Hospital” in Lakewood.
King County Superior Court documents state that Welker pleaded not guilty to the charge at her arraignment on May 13. Welker was charged on April 30 and is being held in King County Jail in Seattle on $500,000 bail, according to court documents and the press secretary.
Haggart’s casesetting hearing continued to April 2 Redmond resident Daniel Haggart, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Redmond’s Cara Neil in July 2014, had his case-setting hearing continued to April 2, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.

additions in the last couple of years. “We felt it was important to start introducing the STEM-related programs,” she said. Connors said it is important to start early with STEM education because it is like learning a language and the earlier students start, the better. The students can also build on the skills they acquire through these programs. Connors added that they have had to add an advanced computer programming class for the students who have mastered the introductory class. “It’s really cool to see how much the kids are learning from the classes,” she said. Bob Kaneko, who teaches the technology 1 and technology 2 classes at Evergreen Middle School, agreed that it is important to teach STEM at a younger
age. He said the stronger a student is at the middle school level, the stronger they will be at the high school level. “It’s like anything,” he said. “Knowledge builds on knowledge.” In Kaneko’s classes, which are open to all grades, students learn how to use computer applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. He said they also learn how to create 3-D models as the school now has a 3-D printer so the students can print out their creations. In the technology 2 class, Kaneko said students also learn the fundamentals of computer coding. At Redmond High School (RHS), students can sign up for a STEM signature program, a multi-course offering in which students can earn graduation requirements in multiple subjects.
Myra Arnone, who teaches the science portion of the program, said RHS’s program is focused on global health and addresses health issues from around the world and prompts students to propose solutions. They look at the bigger picture, she said, covering all aspects including health and medicine, social policy and even philanthropy. RHS has also paired up with the University of Washington’s (UW) global health in the high school program, which brings in undergraduate seniors from the school to teach a unit or class on the topic. Arnone said the program is a good opportunity for students who are interested in global health or medicine to get an early start on things. “We have a few students who are thinking about medical school,” she said.

LT Cosmos may have looked tired as the sweat lightly dripped off his face after a recent basketball practice, but he was all smiles. “It feels great. This year has been phenomenal. We worked really well together as a team and we just kept getting better and better, and towards the end of the season, we just started peaking at the right time,” said The Overlake School junior guard, who led the Owls with 22 points in their statequalifying 60-53 victory over Sultan in the 1A Bi-District 1/2 tournament. However, the local team’s season ended last Saturday with the Owls’ 6658 loss to Castle Rock in the 1A state regionals at WF West High in Chehalis. This is the second time Overlake has reached the state tourney in the school’s 48-year history. Castle Rock (16-8) led Overlake (175), 33-24 at halftime, had a six-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and outscored the Owls, 23-21, to finish the game. [ more overlake page 13 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com Senior post Charlie Friend led Overlake with 18 points and senior captain Rick Chavez added 14. The Owls finished tied for second in the 1A Emerald City League at 9-3 and won nine of their last 11 games. Also on the Emerald City League front, Cosmos earned MVP honors and Friend joined his teammate on the first team. The Owls’ Justin Prohn was named coach of the year. In between buzzers that let the players know when to stop running lines at practice, fifth-year Owl coach Prohn said the team’s theme this season was “Do it Better Than it’s Ever Been Done Before.” “They really like each other, they’re really a cohesive group, they play really well together and they share the ball,” Prohn said. “We’ve got some confidence with some big wins that we’ve had this year (over Seattle Academy, University Prep and others). We’ve just really built some success and some momentum. “We really try not to react when we make a mistake or maybe a call doesn’t go our way or something — we just try to really move on,” added Prohn, who noted that he’s influ-
enced by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s book, “Win Forever: Live, Work and Play Like a Champion.” Chavez, who averaged 11 points per game, said Prohn and the coaching staff helped mold him into a leader and someone who can contribute on offense and defense. The coaches were tough on him sometimes, but Chavez said it was all worth it in the end. “As a leader, I try to keep everyone involved and let everyone know that everyone has a role on the team. It’s not just the starting five, it’s on the bench whether you’re loud, you’re getting people involved or getting people to games,” Chavez said. “What people don’t realize is getting this far is really like a community effort, it’s with our fans and everyone.” Along with Cosmos (15 points per game) and
last season. “It’s amazing when everybody’s making the right plays, passing to each other and we’re playing as a team — there’s nothing better than that,” Cosmos said. Chavez, who Prohn said is “kind of the glue to our team,” noted that the Owls had their motto “One Heartbeat, One Team” in tow all season. The Owl captain is inspired by words from Prohn and his dad, Richard, when he takes to the court:

Chavez, other crucial contributors were seniorsophomore brothers Charlie and Owen Friend (who towered above opponents at 6-foot-7 and 6-foot9, respectively), senior sharpshooter Pranav Harikrishnan, senior defensive energizer Keshav Ummat and key freshman defender Tellier Lundquist. On the Friend front, Charlie and Owen averaged 11 and 10 points a game, respectively, and were “difference-makers,” offensively and defensively, according to Prohn. Prohn added that Cosmos was quick and always on the ball, whether he’s notching points, steals and assists or snatching rebounds. Harikrishnan and Ummat were solid competitors who also teamed up at doubles on the tennis court and finished fifth at state

“If you want to win, you’ve got to go out and show it. You’ve got to prove it to the world and prove to yourself that you can do this,” he said of Prohn’s message and moved on to his dad’s creed, “You’ve got to put in the work to be great, and it really shows on the court who’s putting in hours and who’s really trying to develop their game.” And when you need further words of wisdom, checking out Instagram posts can be beneficial, as
well. One Eastside Catholic message struck a chord with Chavez: “Nobody likes us as much as we like us.” “I think that’s something that is really a part of our team,” said Chavez, who noted that the Owls had to dig down deep to overcome two straight losses this season. “Everything went into a frenzy, but as a team, we stuck together. Everyone else around us was going crazy, but we stayed calm and persevered through all the adversity.”

Redmond High basketball players make 4A KingCo all-league squads ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
After taking their final shots and grabbing their last rebounds, four Redmond High basketball players earned 4A KingCo
all-league honors this season. They are Kevin Carpenter (second team) and Jake Talbot, Andrea Dang and Morgan Grindell (honorable mention). In an interview with the Reporter earlier this season,

Carpenter, a 5-foot-8 junior point guard, discussed scoring a career-high 35 points in a loss to Issaquah. “I was just really aggressive. I was driving to the hoop,” said Carpenter, who made shots from inside and outside and drew fouls to put him on the free-throw line, as well. “But it’s more about the win … I just want to win.” Carpenter liked how the players became close throughout the season and how the coaches trusted them to put their phi-
losophy into play. It wasn’t about being flashy, it was about working hard, having confidence, listening to each other and learning along the way, he added. Talbot, a 6-2 senior forward, said the No. 1 lesson he learned from this season is that champions rise to the occasion. During the 4A KingCo Tournament, Redmond lost to Issaquah, won threestraight loser-out contests to advance in the tourney before losing to Issaquah again in a winner-to-state
The talk in the locker room following the first Issaquah playoff loss went something like this, according to Talbot: “It was just, ‘Why not? Why not us? Why can’t we do this?’ We won three games, and no one (opponents) ever would have believed that we would have won any of those games. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. This is one of the most amazing weeks of our lives.” Grindell, a 5-10 senior, played post and freshman Dang played guard.

matchup. “We pulled together, we talked to each other, we decided, ‘You know what, we’ve got to do this, we can’t keep messing around.’ We were honest with each other and took down some teams,” Talbot said of the team discussion following the Mustangs’ three-win league season. “(We had) confidence and belief in ourselves and belief in each other. Each individual on the team is going to do their job and pull through for everyone else.”

Dorothy Slotten was born November 12, 1932 in Hinsdale, Illinois, the youngest child of Hazel and Elmer Davison. She passed away on February 17, 2015 in Bellevue, Washington. She was preceded in death by her son Karl Slotten in 2012. She and her husband of 57 years, Ken Slotten, raised their 5 boys on acreage in rural Redmond. Dorothy and Ken were avid square dancers and in later years also enjoyed going on cruises and travelling the world as their health permitted. She loved the holidays and gave her children and grandchildren many memorable Christmas decorations which will remind them fondly of her for years to come. She is survived by her husband, Ken Slotten, at the family home in Redmond, sons Chris Slotten (Sarah) of Poulsbo, WA, Eric Slotten (Karyn) of Hailey, ID , Todd Slotten, of Burien, WA, and Kurt Slotten (Sharon), of Woodinville, WA, as well as 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made on her behalf to KCTS Channel 9. Funeral arrangements are under the care of Cedar Lawns Funeral Home of Redmond. The family will take time to remember Dorothy at a private Celebration of Life.

After the fall of Vietnam and Laos to communists, more than 130,000 Hmong refugees came to the United States between the 1970s and 1990s. Most settled in California or Minnesota, while far fewer came to the Pacific Northwest. “Many of the Hmong immigrants were looking to earn a living,” Vue notes. “Many had been farmers in the highlands of Southeast Asia and looked to continue using those skill sets. “Starting up their own businesses many faced challenges such as learning

Local support groups started an “Indo Chinese Farm Project” that aimed to “help the new refugees turn what they were good at — farming — into a sustainable income,” Vue says. Hmong farmers were shown how to best handle the soil, weather and pests of the Snoqualmie and Snohomish valleys.

Their dahlias, tulips, dried bouquets and vegetables are sold across the region — from Redmond’s Saturday Market to Seattle’s Pike Place Market, where 40 percent of the farm vendors are Hmong. The Hmong still face challenges, especially flooding that’s happening more often. “This is a constant struggle,” Vue says. “These families keep going because this is their way of life and income for their families. If they stop, there will be no financial support for the family. Also the Hmong have a large extensive family; cousins, aunts, uncles that all can be tapped for

labor to help with any farming related challenges.” Many Hmong have transitioned to other careers. “Not all Hmong are farmers,” notes Vue, himself an engineer, “with many having found work in the hightech, aerospace, health care and other industries around Puget Sound.” Those opportunities also raise the question of whether the Hmong will still be a local farming force in the future. “An overwhelming majority of the younger generation would like to get out of the agricultural tradition,” says Vue. “Children who grew up in a farming family helped out their parents and understand the hard work involved.” “It is very hard work,” he adds, “having to get up at dawn to go to the farm, pick the flowers/vegetables, sell at the market and then come home.”
