Task Force on Homelessness releases report SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
The City of Redmond’s citizen Task Force on Homelessness recently released a report with recommendations on how to address visible homelessness throughout the city. The 14-member group was formed following a community meeting in March that brought together residents, business owners, members
of local advocacy groups and faith communities and more. The meeting began the community’s conversation on how to address local homelessness. That conversation continued with the task force as members examined the issue and worked to come up with possible solutions.
THE TASK FORCE
According to a city press
release, task force members represented many sectors, including business and property owners, agencies that provide services to homeless individuals, the faith community, the King County Library, residents and members of the Redmond Human Services Commission and the Public Safety Advisory Committee. The task force met six times from April to August and
presented its final report to Redmond City Council on Sept. 22. The final report details the activities of the task force and includes a slate of recommended action steps. Carolyn Mansfield, a member of the task force and the city’s human services commission, said the recommendations they offered fell under six areas of concerns. [ more HOMELESS page 8 ]

Gracie’s great pumpkin Gracie Venters, 9, of Redmond won the junior division of the Super Pumpkin Weigh-In at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. Her pumpkin tipped the scales at 445.5 pounds. The first-place prize awards the winner $1 for every pound, and Venters will receive a check for $445. She plans to put her winnings into a savings account. Venters started her pumpkin seed at the end of May at Faith Farm on Union Hill. It was her first time growing a competitive pumpkin, which was lifted into the back of the family truck with a tractor and driven to the fair. She is planning on going to another pumpkin weighoff this year as she has another pumpkin that looks to be bigger than the first one, said her father, Josh. Courtesy of the Washington State Fair

Former con artist discusses fraud and identity theft at event SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
If someone were to tell Frank Abagnale that present-day technology would make the things he got up to in the 1960s much easier, he wouldn’t have believed them. The 67-year-old — whose early life as a con artist is chronicled in Steven Spielberg’s film “Catch Me If You Can” — said he would have thought technology would have advanced to protect people better from such crimes. But nowadays, Abagnale said, it is 4,000 times easier to do what he did. “Technology breeds crime,” Abagnale said. “Always has, always will.” Between the ages of 16 and 21,
Abagnale lied, assumed fake identities and did what he could to survive following his running away from home after learning about his parents’ divorce. From pretending to be a pilot for Pan Am Airways and traveling the world, to impersonating a pediatrician in a Georgia hospital, to posing as an attorney after passing the bar exam in Louisiana, he evaded capture from the FBI for five years. Eventually, at age 21, Abagnale was caught and served prison sentences in France, Sweden and the United States. He was released after five years on the condition of teaching and assisting federal law enforcement agencies. Since then, Abagnale has not left and has been with the FBI for 40 years — 32 years longer than what
he was court ordered. “I owe my country 800 times more than I can ever repay it,” he said. On Wednesday, Abagnale shared his story at an AARP Fraud Watch Network event at the Microsoft Corp. campus in Redmond. And following his talk, Doug Shadel with AARP expressed a sentiment many in the room probably shared. “I am really glad you are on our side,” Shadel said as audience members laughed along.

As local and regional officials spoke last Friday morning, the people assembled in a large grass area of Redmond surveyed the scene and were surely imagining what the space will look like about a year from now. At the gathering, Providence Supportive Housing broke ground on a new 75-unit senior affordable-housing development at 8632 160th Ave. N.E. in downtown Redmond. The Providence John Gabriel House will serve adults age 62 and older and consist of
studios, one- and twobedroom apartments, a community room, a TV lounge, a library and an outdoor terrace. The 94,000-squarefoot complex will cost $21.5 million to build. Applications will be available to prospective residents in the summer of 2016 with a planned opening in the fall of 2016. “This is a model for everyone for putting the elderly right in the middle of this vibrant community,” said Rod Hochman of Providence Health and Services at the groundbreaking. Deputy County Executive Fred Jarrett noted that King County urgently needs affordable housing for seniors and the Redmond complex is a “truly wonderful and innovative project.” Jarrett added that the development will be a “connector” to the community since residents will have easy access to the Redmond Regional Library and the Redmond Senior Center, both across the street. Providence John Gabriel House will also include a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) center on the ground floor that will provide medical care and social services to seniors who qualify to live in a nursing home and choose to

According to Mary Beth Walker, director of marketing and communication for Providence Senior and Community Services, the organization currently operates 14 supportive housing facilities: 10 in Washington, three in Oregon and one in California. Many of their residents were homeless or lived in sub-standard housing before coming to live at Providence. On the future complex, King County Council member Jane Hague said that it “takes a whole village to make something like this happen,” adding that “we share your commitment in Redmond to make affordable housing possible.” Redmond Mayor John Marchione welcomes the complex with open arms, noting that from young to older, “Redmond can be a place you live your whole life in.” The project is made possible through financial support from the City of Redmond, Providence Health and Services, the east King County jurisdictions that are members of A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH), King County Department of Community and Human Services, King County Housing Authority and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission.

Redmond’s Aerojet Rocketdyne is putting Mars in our grasp The highly anticipated film, “The Martian,” is being released in theaters nationwide today. In the book and film, an astronaut is inadvertently left behind on Mars by his crew mates. The story is ultimately about human ingenuity and perseverance in unrelenting circumstances. While this story set in 2030 may seem like a fantasy to some, it is not unlike the stories of early settlers going to very different, and often harsh new lands. Those early settlers stayed the course and we can be thankful for their determination. The same nation built from early settlers is now gearing up to take humans to Mars. The building blocks are already underway by NASA and industry for humans to travel to Mars. In fact, many of the critical technologies are being built in your back yard. Some of the critical technologies needed for a trip to Mars are a powerful rocket to escape Earth; a long-duration spacecraft to carry the crew to their destination; and a transportation system to position supplies in advance of the crew. These are also important elements in the fictional book, showcasing that fiction follows fact. The first building block to Mars is a new, very large rocket, the Space Launch System Julie Van Kleek

— a rocket that will be more capable than any existing launch vehicle. Its first launch is three years away! Humans will be carried into deep space by the Orion capsule aboard this new rocket. The Orion capsule’s first test flight was last December. It will have one more test without a crew in 2018, and shortly after that human will begin to explore deep space. Local employer Aerojet Rocketdyne provides the propulsion for Orion from liftoff to splashdown. Right here in Redmond, we are building the thrusters for the capsule that will carry the crew. The journey to Mars is long, and will require a lot of supplies for the crew. The crew needs to get there fast so it can spend some time exploring Mars before they have to come home. Like in the book, NASA will send the crew in a fast light ship. In fiction and real life, supplies need
to be pre-positioned for them, and will be sent ahead on a slower, larger ship. This ship will use advanced electric propulsion systems that are very efficient, but much slower than the craft that the crew will fly in. Solar electric propulsion is currently used to keep communication satellites in their proper orbit. The advanced solar electric propulsion work to send humans to Mars will be underway shortly. Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Redmond facility is the world’s leading supplier of high power electric propulsion systems and is working with NASA on spacecraft designs for Mars cargo. Manufacturing and testing of critical components necessary for deep space exploration is underway in 49 states. The [ more MARS page 6 ]

Proud of Redmond, and supporting Marchione If you take a look at the big picture, there is a lot going right in Redmond. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the recognition we have received for outstanding achievements in our vibrant and growing community. These accolades do much to enhance Redmond’s ability to attract and maintain innovative businesses and the talent that fuels them. NerdWallet, the San Francisco-based company that evaluates financial information, rates Redmond the best city in Washington to start a small business, and the second best city in the country to do so, calling Redmond a “thriving, active, and well-educated city.” Both NerdWallet and
Forbes recognize Redmond as an attractive place for young job seekers. But, Redmond isn’t just for the young. NerdWallet and Bloomberg call Redmond one of the top places in Washington to raise kids, noting the beautiful parks and trails and excellent schools. The Governor’s Smart Communities Program recognizes outstanding efforts of local communities and their partners in achieving the goals of the Growth Management Act. Redmond has received five Smart Communities Awards in the last three years. Even the Planning Association of Washington recognized Redmond for our implementation of the Downtown Redmond 2020 plan. They honor outstanding contributions to the field of planning and bring public attention and deserved recognition to public and private sector planning efforts. I am proud to live and work
in Redmond. I am proud to have my daughter attend Redmond schools. I am proud of our community. And, I am proud to support John Marchione in his efforts to continue making Redmond, a city that now garners national attention and recognition, a place to call home.

Why we need Fields for mayor I recently met Steve Fields, candidate for Redmond mayor, and I support his candidacy. I asked Mr. Fields questions on issues important to many of us. Steve took the time answer my questions and I am sharing some of his input here to help others make informed voting decisions beyond yard signs. Fields explained the reasons for tax increases should be clear with convincing informa-
tion and the city must follow a plan. He also believes taxes for special projects should never be placed ahead of basic services. Mr. Fields has extensive professional government experience managing and measuring the effective use of public funds and working within budgetary constraints. Redmond could clearly use this experience and fiscal leadership. I asked Mr. Fields about growth management. Fields stated he wants to develop a citywide strategic plan that presents a true vision for our city with legitimate input from the community beyond preemptive survey questions. Most importantly he wants to engage the community to lead the way. On traffic, Fields offered ideas, including using roads to bypass areas to relieve congestion, intelligently looking at Redmond’s spatial constraints [ more LETTERS page 5 ]
to help make simple trips more efficient, and negotiating more transit services. Most importantly, I feel Fields would at least engage the community with a plan, unlike we’re experiencing now. Steve Fields has deep experience in driving efficiency in government operations and he’s committed to community engagement. He also owns a Redmond business and has entrepreneurial perspective. I encourage you to join me in voting for Steve Fields for Mayor of Redmond.

Marchione: a strong voice locally and regionally After talking in depth with both candidates and watching the campaign messages unfold, I am endorsing John Marchione for another term as the mayor of Redmond. As a planning commissioner in the mid-2000s, there were numerous public hearings, with hundreds of citizens, over a year’s time, on the city’s very detailed comprehensive plan for
growth. The key strategy of the plan is simple: “Redmond is inside the urban growth boundary, when means we cannot stay rural or even small town. But we will not spread the enormous growth we are expecting (and cannot turn away) throughout the entire city. We will concentrate that growth in 2 urban centers — Downtown and Overlake — so that we can preserve the wonderful single family neighborhoods that are the heart of Redmond.” Our biggest challenges of traffic and growth do not stop at our city limits. John has been a strong voice in putting Redmond’s transit needs front and center while serving on the Sound Transit Board. He has also encouraged the council to be regional leaders in transit, smart growth, affordable housing and public safety. I will be voting for John on Nov. 3.

Steve Fields: a voice for those unheard Recently, a group of neighbors and friends
issues with mayoral candidate Steve Fields. We had a chance to ask questions and voice our opinions on the future of Redmond and the completion of the downtown core city. None of those present were happy with the way the ugly, poorly planned construction has invaded the old part of the city. We were pleased to find that Steve’s past work experience in planning and management has given him the training needed to have a vision, a strategy and a plan for the city that would be developed with significant community input. As the owner of McDonald’s Book Exchange, I’ve had to move several times to deal with the city’s growth. When I talk to customers, we all agree that we don’t like the way the city has changed. An example of damage to our downtown is the planned demolition of the historic Nokomis building. It is time for the people who are unhappy but silent to make our voices heard. The best way to start is by electing a new mayor: Steve Fields.

Responding to Syrian refugees letter I’m writing in response to a letter that appeared in your Sept. 18 edition under the caption “United States should not allow war refugees.” This letter contained several misstatements of fact. With regard to those escaping the conflict in Syria, the author contends that the “vast majority of the immigrants are young men, who appear fit and well fed.” In fact, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency, of registered Syrian refugees, 49.5 percent are male (26.5 percent of whom are under the age of 17) and 50.5 percent are female. He goes to point out that they are “overwhelmingly Muslim” and that it “is no coincidence that almost all terrorist attacks in the U.S., including the ones that have been thwarted by the authorities, have been perpetrated by Muslim young men.” Again, this is simply not true. An FBI study looking at terrorism committed on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 found that 94 percent of the terror
October 2, 2015 [5] attacks were committed by non-Muslims. Think Oklahoma City and Charleston. He further contends that “our authorities have no ability to examine each immigrant.” In fact, all refugees admitted to the U.S. are subject to a very detailed and rigorous process with the result that a very small number of refugees around the world (less than one half of one percent) become U.S. residents. What is true is that fear too often keeps us from responding to international crises like this one. Not caution or prudence based on facts, but the kind of blind fear that ties our hands and keeps us from living up to our history of being a beacon of hope to oppressed peoples.

Unspoken respect of common courtesy One aspect of American life that I noticed when moving here from overseas some years ago is an unspoken respect of common courtesy. In con-
trast, where I grew up, the behavior of the citizenry is actually very boorish. It didn’t take me too long to notice how Americans treated each other, especially in their shopping habits. They gave each other space — they didn’t jam up behind you in line like they did back home. They didn’t try to cut in front of you at the cash register like they did back home. They asked if you were next in line unlike back home. At first I thought it was me, but I noticed they extended this civility to each other, as well. Yes, life in America is so pleasant. Such a shame to notice some of my fellow emigre have yet to emulate these courtesies. My suggestion is if you have difficulty in changing, teach your children these most pleasant habits. Perhaps when they go back to visit the country that Mum and Dad left, it will catch on. What a lovely world it will become.

Regional leaders discuss transit-oriented development SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
On Sept. 23, more than 100 regional leaders gathered at Redmond City Hall as part of a Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) meeting to discuss ways to partner and improve the market for transitoriented development in the region. During the meeting,
King County Executive Dow Constantine addressed the room. According to the PSRC blog, he addressed how far the region has come in the 19 years since Sound Transit was initially approved in 1996 — pointing out the transformation of neighborhoods into a more vibrant mix of housing, activities and job centers.
Constantine also highlighted the importance of continuing the work with his new Regional Transit Oriented Development Initiative, which will seek to expand affordable housing opportunities in station areas. On Monday, Constantine’s office launched an initiative to create 700 units of workforce housing around transit
centers. According to the county website, those 700 units would be “created in mixed-use, mixed-income communities built around transit centers.” “Light rail has the power to transform communities,” Constantine said on the website. “With this vision we can be deliberate about creating vibrant,

walkable, economically diverse neighborhoods around new and existing stations.” For more information about Constantine’s initiative, visit tinyurl. com/otkna4r. In addition to Constantine, last week’s meeting featured a number of other speakers, including Don Billen, high capacity transit project development director for Sound Transit. Billen spoke about how Sound Transit considers the land-use effects of their projects when it comes to planning and design. He also discussed how local jurisdictions can partner with Sound Transit during project development as well as the new analytical tools Sound Transit is developing to look more closely at transit-oriented development early in project development. “Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a land-development pattern that integrates transit and land use by promoting transit ridership while supporting community land-use and development visions,” Billen said. “TOD typically consists of public and private development projects that create dense, pedestrian-oriented environments with a mix of land uses and activities at and around transit facilities.” He added that the design, configuration and mix of buildings and activities around a transit facility — as well as the location and de-
sign of the transit facility — has many benefits and should encourage people to use transit and foster a healthy, livable environment. “With the region rapidly growing, TOD brings more of the region’s residents within easy walking distance of its services and increases ridership,” Billen said. “It reduces car travel, improves quality of life and helps the region realize its vision for land use, transportation and development. It increases the tax base and supports local economic and community development.” Alan Hart, founding principal of Via Architecture in Seattle, also attended last week’s event. He participated in a panel discussion about TOD. Hart said TOD is important because a lot of money and energy is invested into planning and building rapid transit and with coordinated regional land use and transportation plan, “we can connect the dots more efficiently and more strategically.” “Coordinated land use and transportation and development — which is essentially what TOD is — optimizes that transportation investment and in turn creates walkable, livable, sustainable communities that (raise) the potential to provide housing and transportation choices for the majority of people,” he said.

The salmon species in the area streams are Coho, Chinook and Sockeye. “These are Bellevue salmon, so they’re not as good as Redmond salmon,” Marchione joked with Tuesday’s crowd. “But they’re still quality fish.” With this predicted impact on the environment, the city was able to apply for a grant with the state’s Department of Ecology.

He said the city saved about $100,000 thanks to the store’s cooperation when it came to dealing with truck deliveries to the construction site. O’Leary said the city had set aside that money for mitigation expenses, but the Sears staff was very easy to work with and they were able to handle the deliveries without much disruption or need for mitigation.

In addition to Sears, O’Leary also thanked other groups the city worked with on this project, including the Department of Ecology, Redmond design firm Otak, Inc., earth science and technology advisers GeoEngineers, HDR Engineering, contractors Goodfellow Brothers and Seattle construction company Franklin Pacific.
City celebrates completion of detention vault in Overlake Village SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
It’s been a long time coming, but after about eight years since its inception, the South Detention Vault in Overlake Village is now complete. And to mark the occasion, the City of Redmond held a small event Tuesday afternoon to celebrate and recognize those involved in the project. Plans for the vault first began in 2007 as the city began looking at developing the Overlake neighborhood into an urban center. It was completed in July. Redmond Mayor John Marchione said in looking at development, the city worked from the ground up, putting in place the infrastructure needed to prepare for growth. That growth, he said, will manifest in the form of about 5,000 new residents and about 25,000 jobs for the area by 2030. As previously reported, the vault is a regional facility, meaning large developments, such as the

Memorial service for Binkerd to be held tomorrow in Redmond
[ FRAUD from page 1]
A memorial service for Alex Binkerd will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow at the Timberlake Christian Church, located at 4505 236th Ave. N.E. in Redmond. Binkerd, a former Redmond High student-athlete, passed away in the early morning of Sept. 23 at his home near Western Washington University. The 20-year-old Western junior honor student and track athlete was a computer-science major with a 3.96 grade-point average. He was a sprinter on the Western men’s track and field team, which won the team title at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) outdoor championships last spring. He was on the victorious 4x100-meter relay while placing fifth in the 100-meter run and fourth as a member of the 4x400-meter relay.

[ HOMELESS from page 1] Those concerns are: Improving public safety and reducing crime; expanding and improving services to sheltered and unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness; expanding, improving and mitigating impacts of shelter and housing options for the people experiencing homelessness and people with barriers to market housing; improving public (business, residents) understanding/ability to assist; advocacy and other. Some of the task force’s recommendations include increasing police bike patrols in downtown by retail properties and on trails, implementing a community awareness campaign and advocating at the state and national levels to restore funding for mental health services. To read the entire report and to learn about all of the task force’s recommendations, visit tinyurl.com/ n9q2nrr.
PUTTING IN THE WORK
In addition to the six task force meetings, Mansfield said members looked at the comments people made during the community meeting in March. Redmond community planning assistant director Colleen Kelly said the task force’s report is final and the commenting period is now closed, anyone who has questions or would like to discuss how they can get involved can contact her at ckelly@ redmond.gov. Mansfield said the task force also did a lot of individual and small-group work to learn more about the situation, she said. Some of that work included site visits and looking at results from focus groups conducted by city staff. Mansfield said there were a number of focus groups and they included individuals who were homeless sharing their stories as well as members from the local business
because someone was doing something they weren’t supposed to do — such as taking home a company computer and making it accessible to criminals — or someone didn’t do something they were supposed to do. One example of this happening was a few years ago when government security was breached and the Chinese government was able to gain access. “We allowed them to steal it,” Abagnale said. “We gave them that opportunity.” In addition to offering up these examples, he also offered tips and advice on how people can protect themselves from identity theft. One major point he brought up was the potential dangers of social media, advising people to keep key information of their birth place and date of birth off the sites. And with the advances in facial-recognition programs, Abagnale said people should not share photos of themselves facing straight into
community who shared some of the struggles they have been dealing with since there are now more visible homeless individuals. Meghan Altimore, another task force member who also works for Hopelink in Redmond, said it was good to hear from local businesses to learn about the challenges they are facing such as property damage and loitering. “I am grateful to our task force members who spent several months to develop recommendations to address these community concerns through local action and regional advocacy,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione in the city press release. “Homelessness is a complex community issue and I appreciate the many contributions of those who will be part of the solution going forward.”
A REGIONAL ISSUE

the camera. Instead, he said they should post photos with other people, where their faces are a bit obstructed or fuzzy. “Otherwise, you’re just saying, ‘Come take my identification,’” he said. Abagnale said this easy access online takes away the type of legwork he had to put in during his conning days, which included everything from acquiring the right type of printer to be able to print fake checks, to figuring out which warehouse to go to in order to get a Pan Am pilot uniform.
PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
The preferred victims of identity thieves are children, Abagnale said. This is because when using identities for crimes such as credit card fraud, children are not going to be needing to check information such as their credit score until they are older and have to buy a car or apply for a home loan. And the younger, the better, Abagnale said, as this
with different backgrounds and experiences with homelessness — including those who were vocally unhappy with the situation — Altimore said there were not many disagreements, but there were many different points of views on how they should deal with the situation. This being said, Altimore said one thing that happened on the task force that she found heartening was when one of the members, who was a property manager for a downtown Redmond apartment, was transferred to another apartment building in her company that is located in Seattle. Altimore said the woman chose to remain on the task force despite no longer having a Redmond tie — she was that invested in the issue. Altimore noted that homelessness is not limited to Redmond. It is a regional issue and needs to be addressed as such. Redmond City Council
gives the criminals a longer period to assume the child’s identity. “That (Social Security) number can be used and sold over and over again,” he said. To protect their children better, Abagnale advised parents to guard their children’s Social Security numbers and to be careful of where they share that information. Abagnale also advised people to avoid using debit cards as it gives identity thieves immediate access to their money. Instead, he said, use credit cards. That way, if a card number is stolen, the lost funds would be the credit card company’s, not yours, Abagnale said. He said people should also make it impossible for people to get a hold of physical evidence of their information by shredding such documents. Abagnale recommended a micro-cut shredder as this makes it impossible for people to piece the documents, credit cards or CDs back together. “You want to use the right shredder,” he said.
member Kim Allen agreed that addressing homelessness does not mean working separately from other jurisdictions and municipalities. “While the visibility of the homeless population has certainly increased during the years of the last recession, the answer is not to send these folks somewhere else,” she said. “That just kicks the can down the road. I will continue to support Redmond’s efforts to help those in need by connecting them with the people and agencies that can lead to a way out of poverty and into more stable lives. How we treat those with the least among us is a measure of our own worth.”
NEXT STEPS
Now that the task force has completed its work and presented its final report, Redmond Police Chief Ron Gibson said four members of the task
force will continue to serve on an implementation committee along with him and Kelly. “The goal of the implementation committee is to the ensure we have follow through on the recommendations from the larger group,” he said. Gibson said the implementation committee will work with various stakeholder groups in an effort to actually implement the task force recommendations. “I look forward to continuing to work with the task force members and mitigating the impacts of homelessness in our community with the implementation committee,” he said. “The impacts of homelessness is not just a problem to be solved by city staff. All community members are stakeholders in this community wide concern.”

Nonprofits’ campaign aims to end child hunger MEGAN CAMPBELL mcampbell@issaquahreporter.com
Last year, Pantry Packs, in partnership with Hopelink’s food banks, provided more than 450 students in 27 Lake Washington School District (LWSD) schools every Friday with food for the weekend. That need has grown, as already 554 students have registered for the program this year. But Pantry Packs, the volunteer-led food assistance program, cannot meet the needs of students in Sammamish, Redmond and Kirkland without help from the public. In partnership with Feed Washington, a nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger throughout the state, Hopelink and Pantry Packs kicks off an 11-day social media campaign today to raise awareness and create a recurring fund for those hungry students in the LWSD. Organizers hope to raise $10,000 per month to meet the need, Feed Washington President Eirik Olsen said. “It has to be recurring if it’s going to be a solution,” Olsen said. “(Because) hunger is recurring.” Olsen founded Feed Washington about 12 years ago, seeking millions of dollars a month in recurring funds to feed the hungry throughout the state. He realized this was too broad of a goal and people couldn’t relate emotionally to the campaign. He also realized the old model for collecting food,
like monthly food drives, isn’t sustainable and “after a while, people get burned out,” Olsen said. “I’m very interested in the idea of actually solving something,” he said. So he refocused, starting first in Seattle’s Ballard community where Feed Washington was able to create a recurring donation stream of $1,850 to fully fund the costs of feeding 72 children in Ballard schools. About a year and a half ago, he partnered with Hopelink and Pantry Packs to bring this recurring donation model to Lake Washington schools using a 21st-century campaign. The nonprofits released a video featuring 32 LWSD students set at Eastlake, Juanita, Lake Washington and Redmond high schools. Campaign organizers hope to see #solvestudenthunger on thousands of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts accompanying the video through Oct. 12, the last day of the campaign. The video “appeals to the sense of helping somebody who is pretty much just like you and living in neighborhood,” said Janice Wilson Vache, a member of the Pantry Packs volunteer leadership team and a Feed Washington board member. By localizing it and utilizing 21st-century technology, Olsen and Wilson Vache expect the campaign to spread and gain awareness through the Eastside.
They ask for small donations, like $5 each month, in the hope that enough people will consistently donate to meet their goal and expand the food assistance program, Wilson Vache said. This year alone, even with more reports of students who qualify for Pantry Packs weekend meals, the organization will take on three or four more schools. “So we are expecting to provide for more students this year right away,” she said. Pantry Packs volunteers meet once a month for packing parties in a Kirkland warehouse. The next party is Wednesday. Volunteers can sign up online. However, packing events through the next couple of months are currently full. “We’re always full,” she said. “We’re just amazed at people’s generosity.” Volunteers try to fill 2,000 bags in a couple hours, she said, and these packs supply schools for one month. Pantry Packs, which began as a grassroots movement four years ago, fills generic grocery bags with items like soup or chili, a box of macaroni and cheese, Ramen noodles, crackers, granola bars and oatmeal. Each Friday, children in need go to the office and pick up their sack of food. “It’s easy and a kid can put it in a backpack discreetly,” said Shay Studley-Toland, a longtime Pantry Packs volunteer and mother of three
in the LWSD. For more information on the social media campaign, visit feedwashington.org/ lwsd. For more information on the Pantry Packs volunteer options, visit www.pantrypacks.blogspot.com.

crats and is on the organization’s executive board. Kuderer grew up in Minnesota. She received her law degree from William Mitchell College of Law and has practiced law in both the public and private sectors. Kuderer will serve one year in the Legislature and will have to stand for election to a full term in 2016.

...today’s parent
Encouraging self-learning for academic success Courtesy of Kumon of Redmond
One skill essential to children’s academic success is the ability to learn on their own. While teachers and parents play a key role in a child’s development, educational activities that encourage self-learning are equally important. Learning independently inspires children to become more confident, nurturing critical
thinking and analytical skills. Giving children time to learn on their own taps into their natural curiosity and allows them to explore in a way that more structured learning activities do not. At its core, self-learning gives students the power to explore new concepts on their own, at their own pace. In a traditional classroom
setting, activities move along at a pace that usually caters to the class as a whole, rather than to each individual student. Self-learning exercises allow students to think critically and move on to more difficult exercises at their own speed. In Kumon, students are given short incremental assignments that help them carry knowledge gained
from previous lessons on to the next one. The ultimate goal is for students to progressively build the knowledge and learning skills that will allow them to study above their grade level. Students can then develop a more thorough understanding of a concept, while also gaining confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Self-learning isn’t only
tied to academic activities; children of any age are learning through life experiences every day. By promoting problem solving through play activities, you can promote your child’s self-learning ability. Any activity that taps in to your child’s ability to solve problems can promote independent learning. When buying toys or games, consider
those that have a problemsolving element and offer fun challenges to build your child’s sense of accomplishment. Solo craft projects and building projects are also great methods for tapping into your child’s need for creative thought and exploration.

Redmond’s Physio-Control — a supporting sponsor of Heads Up Football and the United States National Team — and USA Football — the sport’s national governing body — have teamed up to award automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to five youth organizations. This annual health and safety grant program provides potentially lifesaving equipment for organizations to keep on site in case of cardiac emergency. Studies have shown that administering an AED soon after a cardiac event greatly increases the chance for survival. Sudden cardiac arrest is the No. 1 cause of death for young athletes during activity. USA Football’s Heads Up Football program provides a comprehensive collection of resources and medically sound protocols to help with the advancement of player safety when dealing with sudden cardiac arrest, concussion awareness and recognition, heat and
hydration, proper tackling and blocking fundamentals and equipment fitting. More than 6,500 youth leagues and 1,100 high schools, covering more than 1 million players across the country, have registered for the program in 2015. Physio-Control has been manufacturing AEDs and other devices for medical services and hospitals around the world for more than 60 years.

Redmond High cross-country teams run through the ‘pain’ ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
BRIEFS Girls soccer
Jill Leszynski notched a hat trick in Bear Creek’s 6-0 girls soccer victory over Bush last Friday. Abby Linnenkohl started the scoring in the 17th minute and the Grizzlies rolled from there. Also scoring were Tara Leuenberger and Leia Kirker.
Football Redmond led 14-13 at halftime, but Bellarmine Prep took control of the football
at state, second at districts and third at Kingco. His best time last year was 16:33, and Villeneuve said Keddie could hit that mark or lower in the coming weeks. Two standout freshmen for the boys are Lance Mason and George Cretu. Villeneuve said that Mason is a hard worker with “phenomenal ability,” and Cretu is “tenacious and
relentless” on the course. Another returner for the boys is senior Jacob MontielBravo, who said he’s enjoyed his time on the Mustang squad. “I’m really proud of how much work I’ve put in,” he said. “I just try to be as positive as I can, even if it’s not the best race. I want it to be a memorable and good
experience.” Villeneuve said both the boys and girls usually run in a pack at races instead of having one or two leaders like on past teams. “It’s a different mechanism. And it’s sometimes more fun to have a team like that because they’re all together and supporting each other. They’re always pushing each
other,” he said. Along with Brodsky on the girls’ side, junior Sierra Baker is one of the top runners. Sophomore Emma Bury, who was an all-state selection last year, is getting back on track after sustaining a foot injury and will again be an integral part of the team, the coach said. Villeneuve said that Bury
game and won, 44-23, on Friday night in nonleague action at Redmond High. Mustang quarterback Nick Swanson connected with Parker Narloch for a 47-yard touchdown pass with 5:32 left in the first quarter. Kellen Shoup replaced Swanson, who sustained an injury to his right leg on a late hit, and tossed a 5-yard TD pass to Gerald Wright with 48 seconds left in the half. Narloch added his second PAT. Other Mustang scoring included a Shoup 23-yard field goal with 4:54 left in the third quarter, and a Shoup-to-Ryan Mossman 27-yard TD pass with one minute remaining in the game.
Shoup was 19-for-37 for 245 yards, Corey Chandler had six catches for 109 yards and Narloch had five catches for 92 yards. On defense, Joe Becker had 10 tackles (eight solo and two assists) and Collin Cottom had nine tackles (five solo and four assist). Redmond (0-4) will next play at Skyline at 7 p.m. tonight.
Matthew Davidson/Bill Liu (6-2,6-1), Alex Valdesuso/ Charlie Hill beat Kevin Um/ Justin Li (6-1,6-1) and Tyler Nelson/Gaurav Nene beat Scott Carlson/Olu Sobande (3-6,6-4,6-3). Bear Creek won two singles matches: Caleb Ji beat Reyhan Virani (6-0,6-1) and Seth McBride beat Alistair Jones (6-3,6-1).
The event, located in Overlake’s gymnasium, highlighted the careers of Owl athletes Ashley Fisk (class of 2002), Hilary Pentz (class of 2002), Jamie Weaver (class of 2002) and Beckley Mason (class of 2004). During their Overlake careers, the four earned a collective 42 varsity letters, were named to 25 all-league teams, appeared in 18 state tournaments, won four state championships and were honored three times as league most valuable players. All four went on to play in college programs. “These were some of the finest student-athletes to ever play here and they were all three-sport athletes who

Tomorrow’s Twilight Invitational will be a crucial meet for the Redmond High cross-country runners. Head coach Denis Villeneuve said his harriers use the word “pain” when they discuss tough races where they really grind it out to earn success. Tomorrow should be one of those days at the Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville. With the 4A Kingco championships a few weeks away, Villeneuve said his athletes need to start running fast now to be able to make an impact in the postseason. So far this season, the Mustang boys are 3-1 in league 5K races and the girls are 1-3. For the boys, senior Joel Keddie has the top time with a 16:43; on the girls’ side, junior Krystal Brodsky is tops with a 20:57. “We’ve got a lot of good talent on the guys’ side and a lot of freshmen and sophomores coming up that are really good. It should be a good couple years coming up,” said Keddie, adding that he enjoys the “camaraderie and having good friends on the team, and running with the group. It’s really fun.” Keddie is one of two returners from last year’s boys team that placed ninth
is one of the best natural runners he’s ever coached. “She’s got the mental ability to just go out there and push herself and enjoy herself and not worry about things, which is really hard to get a high school kid to do that,” Villeneuve said. Senior Hannah Visse and juniors Risa Shutz and Chloe Fink are the girls’ tri-captains and said that cross country is an important part of their lives. “Our team is such a family. The underclassmen literally call me Mom,” said Visse, who looked up to the older runners when she was a freshman, and now she’s one of the leaders. “It’s a really good way to finish out high school.” Shutz likes running in the pack because it takes away the “pain” when there’s a vital support system of teammates nearby on the course. On the mental side of things, “it’s just holding on and pushing through the ‘pain,’” she said. As for Fink, she finds cross country to be a safe haven from the rigors of schoolwork. “School for me is kind of stressful, so to come here I know that I’m not gonna be stressed out and I’ll forget everything that happened during the school day,” she said. “Running with your friends is so amazing.”

They toured the traditional sights in London, including the major stadiums and even received academy-level coaching.

In late July, the Redmond Crossfire U14 team — Washington Youth Soccer Founders Cup winners — ventured to the UK for some European soccer. Engaging with peers from around the world, united by their passion for futbol, the boys experienced the soccer trip of a lifetime. Coach Tom Button explains his goals for the trip as staying safe, having fun, team building, making friends and improving as players and as a team. “We are not there to compete for a championship. We are there for all of the other, longer-lasting, reasons we invest in youth sports. There will certainly be a period of adjustment (to time change and speed and physicality of play), so the scores are hard to predict. We’ll be fine

For the 2015-16 school year, the foundation granted the district $300,000 supporting district-wide initiatives and providing classroom tools that help all students succeed. According to Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce, “Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the Lake Washington School District. They help us build pathways to student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their support.” Strong community financial support has enabled the foundation to continue to fund district wide initiatives and programs that impact each of the district’s more than 27,000 students. Community members interested in supporting student growth and success are encouraged to take part in the foundation’s fall campaign, ALL in for KIDS and help the foundation reach its goal of raising $100,000 by Dec. 31.

its employees and Zetron President and CEO, Ellen O’Hara. According to Oregon’s FOX 12 News, Ike’s handler, Officer Jack Anderson, made the decision to have Ike humanely euthanized due to the severity of his wounds. Shortly thereafter, Sean Guard, mayor of Washougal, Wash., spearheaded an effort to raise money to purchase a new K-9 for the VPD. The goal of $15,000 is the estimated amount necessary to cover the cost of a new K-9, K-9 equipment, handler training, supplies, food, and medical check-ups. “Our sympathies go out to Officer Anderson and his family and to the Vancouver Police Department,” said O’Hara. “No amount of money can eliminate the pain of such a loss. But we hope our contribution might help those affected by this sad event.” VPD has not yet determined whether they will replace Ike. If they decide not to, the funds donated will go toward the unexpected costs that arise from having dogs on the police force.
