The latest King County Elections results were released for this month’s general election at 6:39 p.m. Wednesday — the latest before the Reporter’s deadline — and Redmond incumbent John

Marchione currently holds the lead in the city’s mayoral race. Marchione holds 53.9 percent (3,796) of the votes and challenger Steve Fields holds 45.99 percent (3,239) of the votes. So far, 7,565 ballots have been counted. There are 28,164 regis-

tered voters in Redmond, putting current voter turnout at 26.86 percent. “It is an honor to be re-elected and that the voters of Redmond believe in my experience and leadership to manage the unprecedented challenge of growth,”

Conforto makes an impact in World Series with homers Michael Conforto’s season with the New York Mets may be over, but his potent left-handed swing will surely be remembered throughout the Michael Conforto offseason and into the next MLB campaign. With two home runs in the Mets’ 5-3 game-four loss last Saturday night, the 22-year-old Redmond native became the third youngest player with a multi-homer World Series game, the second Met with a two-homer World Series game and the youngest Met to homer in a World Series. One of the homers was a mammoth shot into the upper deck in right field at Citi Field. Conforto had a pair of hits in the closing game last Sunday night, a 12-inning 7-2 Kansas City Royals win to clinch the series championship four games to one.

Dept. of Ecology proposes to remove property from hazardous sites list ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

A Redmond site, formerly owned by the UCO Corporation and placed on the State Hazardous Sites List, has met state cleanup standards for soil protective of human health and the environment. The Washington State Department of Ecology is proposing to remove the site from the list. The site — located at 9225 151st Ave. N.E. — now features a building that is occupied by

RC Painting & Sons, Inc. for storage and office space. It is a 0.43-acre parcel situated in a mixed commercial and light industrial area. “Ecology has determined that the property no longer poses a threat to human health or the environment and meets the requirements for removal from the department’s Hazardous Sites List. Before doing so, Ecology invites public comment until Nov. 23,” said Larry Altose, news media relations for Ecology. People can send their

written comments to site manager Diane Escobedo at diane.escobedo@ecy.wa.gov or mail comments to 3190 160th Ave. S.E., Bellevue, WA 98008. According to Altose, 16 tons of contaminated soil was removed in 2013 and 2015 under Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, and follow-up soil sampling shows that the site meets state cleanup standards. The soil contained petroleum and aluminum from improper disposal of aluminum machining waste.

UCO Corporation, a backpacking and mountaineering equipment company, operated at the property from 1977 to 2012 and is now named Industrial Revolution and located in Tukwila. Industrial Revolution CEO Keith Jackson said he’s glad the site has been cleaned up and noted that UCO’s former owner Greg Draper made arrangements to clean up the site as part of selling the building after the organization’s 2012 departure from Redmond.

The organization moved to Tukwila because they’d outgrown the facility. Altose added that UCO hired an environmental consulting firm, and generally, a contractor with environmental cleanup expertise conducts the work under the firm’s supervision. According to an Ecology press release, the site was ranked a five and placed on the Hazardous Sites List, which is a record of contaminated sites throughout the state that are ranked on a scale of one to five.

One represents the greatest potential threat to human health and the environment relative to all sites ranked, and five represents the least potential threat. Participants in the Voluntary Cleanup Program pay fees to Ecology to cover the department’s costs for guidance and review. Sites must meet the same cleanup standards as properties formally managed by Ecology under the state’s cleanup law, the Model Toxics Control Act, created by a 1989 voter initiative.

Courthouse evacuation: Non-hazardous white powder found in envelope on Monday

ANDY NYSTROM AND DANIEL NASH Reporter Newspapers

Suspicious white powder found in an envelope was determined to be non-hazardous Monday afternoon at the Northeast King County Courthouse in Redmond. According to Becky Range, Redmond Police Department (RPD) public information officer, at around 2

p.m., the courthouse at 8601 160th Ave. N.E. was evacuated when a worker opened the envelope that was sent to the courthouse. RPD assisted with the evacuation, secured the building and Redmond Fire Department responded inside the facility. A United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) inspector quickly arrived on

scene, completed an evaluation and removed the package from the courthouse, Range said. Earlier in the day at around noon, a similar envelope containing white powder was also sent to the Issaquah courthouse and opened by an employee; it was also determined to be non-hazardous. “A ‘non-hazardous household powder’ is what we’re calling it,” USPIS inspector Jeremy Leder told the Issaquah Reporter. Federal postal inspectors are now attempting to track where the letters entered the mail system, Leder said. “Obviously, whoever did this was trying to cause some kind of commotion,” he said. Leder said that the

City urges residents, businesses to continue to reduce water consumption Residents and businesses in the region have exceeded requests by water providers like Cascade Water Alliance to reduce water use 10 percent over the last four weeks by collectively cutting back use by 14 percent. While the recent rains have helped, it has not been enough to return water supplies to normal levels. The City of Redmond is reminding residents and businesses that more rain and continued water reductions are still needed to replenish regional water supplies for people and fish. The city is urging residents and businesses to continue to reduce their water consumption indoors now that the

weather has cooled and continue to reduce outdoor use, as well.

WATER-SAVING TIPS FOR RESIDENTS:

• Reduce showering time • Check for and fix leaks • Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes • Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving • If purchasing household appliances, choose water-efficient models • Wash your vehicle(s) at locations that recycle the water

WATER-SAVING TIPS FOR BUSINESSES:

• Encourage reduced showering times at your facilities • Serve water only on request • Check for and fix leaks • Provide new towels only on request • Check cooling towers for overflow and excessive blowdown Unless conditions change significantly, the next round of regional water-use reduction results will be released in mid-November.

Drowsy driving and drunk driving are the same

COMMENTARY

William Shaw

Drowsy driving and drunk driving are the same. • ‘Driver falls asleep at wheel, crashes in Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash. - A car crashed and rolled over on its side on Highway 14 after the driver fell asleep at the wheel.’ • ‘Police: Drowsy driver caused crash that killed 2. MARYSVILLE - The driver who caused the Jan. 2 crash that killed two people along Highway 9 near Marysville had fallen asleep at the wheel.’ • ‘Sleepy driver blamed for death of motorcyclist on Interstate 405. A motorcyclist died Sunday night in an accident on Interstate 405, caused by the driver of a car who fell asleep at the wheel.’ These 2015 news headlines and many more came up from a simple web search on drowsy driving in Washington State. They are grim reminders that our society is exhausted. Since the great recession, we are working longer hours just to keep a roof over our heads. More and more adults also suffer from undiagnosed disorders like sleep apnea and acute insomnia. On our campuses, high school and college students pull ‘All Nighters’ to study for tests or write papers and are always tired. We are also a culture centered around the automobile. But lack of sleep and driving a car is a deadly combination. On Washington’s roads, there were at least 10 deaths and 77 serious injuries in 2013 that were directly linked to a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. According to the AAA Foundation, drowsy drivers are involved in an estimated 21 percent of all fatal crashes, up 4.5 percent from 2010. Nationwide, drowsy drivers have caused 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year. A reasonable person would never drive a car when drunk. But many people will drive when they are too tired. There is no difference between being drunk or tired when you are behind the wheel. A study by researchers in Australia showed that being awake for 18 hours produced an impairment equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of

Can you hear me now? “I need you to pick up your toys.” “Have you picked up your toys?” “Why haven’t you picked up your toys yet?” “Do you need a consequence? I just asked you to pick up the toy!” Whether your child is 2 or 12 or somewhere in between, having your child listen and then respond to what they heard is a skill that seems to be an age old problem. I remember being at the pediatrician’s office when one of my children was 3 years old and asking the doctor if he could double check my child’s hearing because he seemed to really be struggling with hearing what we said. The doctor reassured me his hearing was just fine, which led my husband and me to a startling

.05, and .10 after 24 hours; .08 is considered legally drunk in Washington state. We tend to ignore statistics of drowsy driving injuries and deaths. We think ‘That will never happen to me.’ Sadly, my daughter Mora Shaw was one of those drowsy driving stats. She and my family know firsthand the pain and suffering caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel of a car after being awake for over 20 hours. Nine years ago, Mora, then a 17 year old Issaquah high graduate, was nearly killed as the result of a driver who fell asleep at the wheel while driving over Blewett Pass. Suffering serious multiple fractures and a two week coma, Mora barely survived. She spent years in recovery. Like drunk driving prevention 30 years ago, the only thing that will change mindsets and habits about drivers getting behind the wheel of a car when they have not slept for 20 plus hours is swift and sure penalties. Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving. Their attitudes and our laws about it need to change. Drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk drivers do. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured this year. Just ask my daughter. Just ask me.

Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed November 18 as Washington State’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. During the busy holiday season, we urge all drivers to be aware of their fatigue before getting behind the wheel of a car. Get some rest and save a life. My family have made it their mission to educate the public on the all too often tragic consequences of driving while drowsy. In addition to Washington State Governor Jay Inslee’s 2015 Washington State Drowsy Driving Prevention and Awareness Week proclamation, our family have also partnered with the Washington State Patrol, the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission, AAA of Washington, The Washington State Department of Transportation and the King County Sheriffs’ Office in their efforts to promote Drowsy Driving awareness and prevention in Washington State. The statewide proclamation is also in concert with the National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, sponsored by the National Sleep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving website: http://drowsydriving.org.

revelation — it was his listening that was the problem! Whether you are a teacher, parent, or both, I’m sure you have experience the frustration of “selective” hearing. The good news is that in both roles I have found that there are several things that you can do to help encourage the art of listening and responding in your child. Here are five keys to help your child sharpen that skill: 1. The way we talk to our kids is important. How we talk affects a child’s learning and his/her ability to listen to us. If we are distracted when we talk to our kids, our kids will also be distracted. Asking them something from a significant distance or trying Rachael Urban

to communicate from another room will also tend to prove problematic. Make time for one-on-one connection with your child, and when there are occasions that you simply can’t talk to your child, don’t feel bad about explaining that to them. Also, be sure to speak in tones that are pleasant, firm, consistent and clear. Use the child’s name. The fact is, people love to hear their name spoken and using your child or student’s name helps call them to attention. 2. Look them in the eye. For a young child you can lovingly touch his/her shoulder or hold his/ her face in your hands. Eye contact means you have their attention. If your child is younger, get down on his/her eye level. This is also modeling for your child that he/she matters and what you are about to say has significance.

3. Be brief and keep it simple. Children have trouble following too many directions given at once. This is also the case for most adults. For example, if after an eighthour work day you were asked to go to the store to get milk and eggs, then head to the dry cleaners, stop off at the bank and go to the library to pick up a book, you would most likely forget to do one of those things. The same is true with our children and students. Only give them a small number of tasks or things to respond to in any given communication. For preschool children, drawing simple sketches of what you want them to do is helpful. When my kids were little and when I taught preschool, I would draw up to four simple sketches depicting what I wanted them to do (things like a [ more LISTENING page 5]

LWSD now fourth largest district in state Inclusion of WANIC leads district to jump ahead of Evergreen and Kent school districts. SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Lake Washington School District’s (LWSD) enrollment grew by 1,114 students last year, from 26,716 students in 2014 to 27,830 on Oct. 1. The enrollment increase this year moved the district from sixth largest district in the state to fourth largest. LWSD passed both Evergreen School District and Kent School District. It trails only Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma School districts in size. This year’s increase follows five straight years of enrollment increases. The increases averaged about 625 students per year, or the size of a large elementary school. This upward trend began in the 2009-10 school year after a decade of little change in enrollment. “Redmond is growing quickly, but we are seeing growth elsewhere as well,” said LWSD communications director Kathryn Reith about where they are seeing increased enrollment. She said while Redmond is showing the most

growth, they are seeing higher numbers in parts of Kirkland. Sammamish has been mostly steady, with some small growth, Reith said. She added that the growth is at all grade levels. The district began seeing significant growth beginning in 2009, though Reith said they had been seeing larger classroom sizes in the kindergarten and first-grade levels a few years before then. Because of that growth at the lower-grade levels, she said they are now seeing more growth at the middle-school and high-school levels as those students have grown older and moved up through the district. According to an LWSD press release, part of the increase from 2014, about 339 students, is due to a change in the accounting process for students who are enrolled in the Washington Network for Innovative Careers (WANIC). WANIC is a skills center serving seven districts. It offers advancedlevel career and technical education programs such as cosmetology, fire and medical and health. Bellevue, biggest key to emphasize. You may say something in the most loving, consistent, and firm way, and not get a response. If this is the case, you need to hold your child accountable. Give age-appropriate consequences to help your child learn the skill you are teaching or to obey you in following through on what you instructed him/her to do. Listening is essential for life-long relationships and learning. And while these tips may not cure all your child’s listening issues, they may be stepping stones that give you new ideas and tools to help you have more active and responsive listeners. Can you hear me now?

Twelve-year-old Fiona Fisher just published her first novel. “In Plain Sight” is the story of two girls, Beth and Anna, who team up to find their families and end up finding themselves along the way.

It’s exciting and touching and all the more impressive when considering that Fisher wrote it in a month — well, the first draft anyway. She is quick to acknowledge that the editing and publishing process took much longer. “I kind of let it sit after I finished it in the winter,”

said Fisher, “But then I picked it back up in the summer. We had to format it a lot. The editing took a really long time.” Fisher began writing “In Plain Sight” in response to an assignment posed by her Redmond Middle School (RMS) teacher, Denise Gross, who decided to

“Helping at school made retirement easier and more fun for me,” said LINKS Volunteer Phyllis Platz. “And I love working with little kids and helping them learn. It is wonderful to see their progress between September and June. Just working with 5 and 6 year olds renews your outlook on life.” You don’t have to be retired to make a huge impact in the life of a student. Just one hour a week of your time can make a difference for a struggling student. Have some time to spare? Consider becoming a LINKS Volunteer in Lake Washington School District (LWSD). With the school year well underway, school staff have started making requests for volunteers to share their time and talents with students in schools around the district. Are you ready to help? Here are some of the opportunities available through the LINKS program: Become an academic mentor: Academic mentors are carefully matched with a student at the elementary, middle or high school level.

This volunteer opportunity takes place during the school day. The time frame can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. Core classes are often the subjects students need extra help with and include math, reading, writing and science. Become a Lunch Buddy: Lunch Buddies are matched with a student and they meet one day each week during the student’s lunch hour. Volunteers bring their own lunch and meet the student in a designated area. Most schools have games the volunteer and student can play together. They talk, laugh and have fun. Volunteers often share that it’s the best day of their week. Become a classroom helper: Classroom helpers usually assist in one classroom and help with several students each week. Volunteer opportunities vary depending on the needs of the students. The most common subject areas include reading, writing, math and science. Volunteers work closely with school staff to determine how their personal strengths can best be used in the classroom to benefit students.

Become a tutor: Tutors provide academic support to one student or a group of students, typically focusing on one subject. This volunteer opportunity is held during school hours or during an after school study program in an assigned area. Volunteers are needed throughout Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish to help in classrooms and provide valuable support to teachers and their students. Teachers and counselors submit requests for volunteers to support students academically and socially to assist kindergarten through high school students. Most volunteer opportunities are 45-60 minutes per week. Volunteers are asked to commit to their assignment through the end of the school year.

It’s scary for me too, to share my work, even with my students, and I think it’s important that I feel that same kind of vulnerability if I’m asking them to open themselves up,” said Gross. While most remember middle school with a shudder and seek a quick subject change, Gross thinks it’s the best age for kids who are trying to figure things out and hopes NaNoWriMo will help to keep them silly and creative a little while longer. “This age is so incredible because they’re deciding what kind of person they want to be, what kind of student they want to be, what they want in terms of hopes and dreams and everything is still possible for them,” said Gross. “They can still do whatever they want and they’re willing to try.” Marti Schodt is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

[ ELECTION from page 1] travel, aging recreation facilities and affordable housing. I look forward to engaging the council and community to address these issues.” Regarding his opponent, Marchione said, “I thank Steve Fields for running for office. Anyone who runs for office deserve accolades for taking up the challenge.” With all of the ballots now in, Fields thanked everyone who voted in the election. “I am glad that the citizens in Redmond had the voting opportunity to select a mayor,” he said. “I am proud of the campaign that I and my volunteers ran. Our message was clear. The people who live in Redmond should never settle for anything less than a city where quality of life, environment and a city built for community are the values that city officials consider first when making decisions.”

www.redmond-reporter.com He added that he will wait to see if the next count of votes, which include all the last minute rush during the last few days, changes the final results. On the Redmond City Council ballot, four candidates are running unopposed: Hank Myers (Position 1) — 98.9 percent (4,751 votes); Hank Margeson (Position 3) — 99.01 percent (4,697 votes); Angela Birney (Position 5) — 99.25 percent (4,748 votes); and David Carson (Position 7) — 98.94 percent (4,659 votes). While his race was not in doubt, Carson said it was vital that Marchione be re-elected. “I’m ecstatic to continue the work with him to make Redmond a full-featured city and deliver on the promise of making city hall a place where you can to get business done predictably and efficiently,” Carson said. “The many initiatives

to streamline permits of all kinds is a testament to this commitment...Thanks to Redmond voters for trusting me with this responsibility and I look forward to what the next four years have in store.” Birney, the sole newcomer to City Council, also thanked her supporters. “I want to thank my supporters and friends who advised me throughout this election cycle, especially the commissioners and staff from the Parks and Trails Commission,” she said. “I am excited about the future of Redmond and will do my best to represent all of its citizens.” Birney will replace current council member Tom Flynn, who will be stepping down at the end of his term in December. The next round of results will be released this afternoon. Final election results will be certified Nov. 24.

Together Center welcomes new additions to Redmond office Beginning this month, there are a few new additions to Together Center’s advocate office: Seattle Vet Center, Consejo Counseling & Referral and Senior Services. The three organizations will bring providers one day each week to Suite A-8 at Together Center’s front door at 16225 N.E. 87th St., Redmond. Seattle Vet Center (Wednesdays, 8:30-11:30 a.m.): Veterans and their family will be able to meet with a resource specialist for veterans on the Together Center campus. Truc Nhan, outreach specialist for Seattle Vet Center, will assist veterans and their family members by drop-in on Wednesdays. Vet Center guides veterans and their families through many of the major adjustments in lifestyle that often occur after a veteran returns from combat. Outreach specialists provide information on a wide-range of available benefits as well as referrals

for individual and group counseling in areas such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and drug assessment and suicide prevention referrals. All services are free of cost and are strictly confidential. Together Center has worked with several partners over the last year to bring services for veterans to the campus. A memorandum of understanding is in place with King County Veterans Services to enable use of the center’s advocate office to help veterans by King County staff or any of the county’s many community partners. Seattle Vet Center is a program of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “We have learned that federal, state and county benefits for veterans and their family members are extensive, but the systems, criteria and entry points are very complex,” noted Pam Mauk, Together Center CEO. “We are happy to have an expert on campus,

who can either address someone’s needs or get them to the right person.” Service at the center is available by drop-in. For immediate assistance, contact the Seattle Vet Center at (206) 658-4225. Consejo Counseling & Referral (Thursdays, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.): Consejo Counseling & Referral Services will bring a domestic violence advocate to Together Center’s advocate office. Crucita NuanezOlivares will be available Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Together Center. Consejo’s domestic violence program provides advocacy, intervention, prevention and outreach services for monolingual Latino survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In addition, Consejo offers community education and outreach to ensure survivors receive relevant assistance when they turn to social networks for support. “All of Consejo’s domestic violence services focus

on safety planning and on empowerment of the client through reinforcing the client’s autonomy and selfdetermination,” NuanezOlivares said. “The more information a survivor has, the more likely her choices will enhance her own and her children’s safety when dealing with intimate partner violence.” Consejo’s bilingual services also provides legal advocacy, in which the survivor is able to receive cultural mediation, explanation and translation/ interpretation as needed for the survivor’s success in navigating through legal processes. “We have not had a program on campus with a primary mission of addressing the needs of domestic violence survivors. We are very happy that the addition of Consejo will add knowledge and support on the issue to all of our agencies and their clients, as well as expand critical services,” said Mauk.

To make an appointment, call Nuanez-Olivares at (206) 225-9871. Senior Services (Fridays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.): Beginning Nov. 13, older adults and adults with disabilities will find expanded resources at Together Center. Senior Services, as part of the Community Living Connections network in King County, will provide an information and assistance specialist at Together Center’s advocate office. The Senior Services representative will act as a liaison to available services and will be available to assist finding the best solution for each situation by making the appropriate referrals. “The addition of the assistance of Senior Services and our other new partners will mean a great deal to the thousands that use the campus monthly,” said Mauk. Senior Services CEO Dr. Paula L. Houston added, “We are very pleased to have this new presence in

East King County. We look forward to serving more seniors and adults with disabilities in partnership with Together Center.” To make an appointment, call (206) 727-6254. The advocate office is part of Together Center’s Front Door Services Program to ease access to finding help. Together Center created the office and supports the cost of the space so people seeking assistance will find more one-on-one support to get the assistance they need. The advocate office is also currently used by Public Health Seattle & King County (third Wednesdays, noon to 3 p.m.). Public Health access and outreach staff connect and refer eligible clients to public-sponsored health, food and other benefits and also provide advocacy and referral assistance. To learn more about Together Center, call (425) 869-6699 or visit www. togethercenter.org.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Sunday morning ritual for many in the Puget Sound: attack The Seattle Times by first hunting for Pacific NW magazine and then going directly to the back where another â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now & Thenâ&#x20AC;? photo essay appears courtesy of Paul Dorpat and Jean Sherrard. Fans will get a chance to hear directly from the duo of Puget Soundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual history when they bring their perspectives to the Redmond Historical Society Saturday Speaker Series from 10:30 a.m. to noon Nov. 14 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center (16600 N.E. 80th St.). Dorpat has been doing the weekly column since 1982 and in 2004, teamed up with Sherrard, a local photographer, actor, writer and high school teacher. The team uses the photos for a bigger purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to tell stories,â&#x20AC;?

Dorpat said, promising that for the Saturday Speaker Series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will no doubt include some Eastside subjects, but we will also roam the state.â&#x20AC;? The program is titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now & Then: From Redmond to La Push.â&#x20AC;? Expect some of their personal favorites, said Dorpat, whose heritage credentials include being a co-founder of HistoryLink.org, the encyclopedia of Washington state history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a balance of entertainment and instruction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in every subject chosen,â&#x20AC;? Dorpat says. As much an institution as some of his profiled buildings, Dorpat calls himself â&#x20AC;&#x153;a tourist in (his) own hometown.â&#x20AC;? In 2007, Dorpat and Sherrard collaborated on the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington: Then & Now.â&#x20AC;? In addition, Dorpat has authored or coauthored numerous other

books, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building Washington, A History of Washington Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Worksâ&#x20AC;? that won the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Award in 2000 and a three-volume set titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seattle Now and Then.â&#x20AC;? Some books will be for sale at the program. The Saturday Speaker Series is a monthly program presented by the Redmond Historical Society on every second Saturday from September through May (no program in December). Topics range from local, state and Pacific Northwest historical interest. There is a suggested $5 donation for nonmembers. Redmond Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives support from the City of Redmond, 4 Culture, Nintendo, the Bellevue Collection and Happy Valley Grange as well as from other donors and members.

City entered into National Flood Insurance Program After years of effort, including a citizen advisory committee in 2009, the city has entered the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System. Starting in May 2016, flood insurance policyholders throughout the City of Redmond will receive a 25 percent discount on flood insurance premiums. The discount is based on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) scoring of existing programs the city provides such as preservation of open space, efficiently managing stormwater runoff through watershed management and low-impact development, and enforcement of building codes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased that the high-quality services we provide our residents and land owners are protective of life and property to the extent FEMA will reduce flood insurance premiums citywide by 25 percent,â&#x20AC;? said Redmond Mayor John Marchione. People and property adjacent to Bear Creek, Lake Sammamish and the Sammamish River could be within the flood plain and susceptible to flood damage. As such, many property owners pay an additional premium for flood insurance; flood damage is not covered by typical property insurance policies. FEMA administers the

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System. Local governments can enter the program by demonstrating to FEMA how the local government protects property and people within its community. Over the next few months, FEMA officials will present a plaque to the mayor and notify flood insurance companies that Redmond has entered the NFIP Community Rating System Program. For questions and more information contact Andy Rheaume, Department of Public Works, at ajrheaume @redmond.gov or (425) 556-2741.

520 lane and ramp closures in Redmond this weekend Drivers who use westbound State Route 520 (SR-520) through Redmond should plan ahead for lane and ramp closures from 10 p.m. tonight through 5 a.m. Monday. Two right lanes of westbound SR-520 at Northeast 51st Street will be closed. The westbound SR-520 off-ramp to Northeast 51st Street/Northeast 40th Street will be closed. A signed detour will be in place. During the closures, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will move barriers and split the westbound SR 520 off-ramp to

Northeast 51st and Northeast 40th streets into two separate exits. This work was originally scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 but was postponed due to wet weather. Drivers will have access to the two separate off-ramps following the completion of lane and ramp closures this weekend. There will be one more weekend of closures in the coming weeks when the weather is appropriate for re-striping work. Crews will then return at a later date and complete work to install new lighting and overhead signs.

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 criti-

ties 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 les-

sons 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

all ages a number of benefits — from improving academic outcomes for children to relieving stress for working adults and even helping seniors keep their minds. Indeed, social harmony is higher within families when young people listen to music, according to a study conducted by Frontiers in Psychology. Now is a great time to foster a love for making

and appreciating music. Here are three ways to get your family started:

Man injured in rollover accident on Redmond Ridge ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

A male driver was injured in a one-vehicle rollover accident on Redmond Ridge Oct. 30. Redmond firefighters and medics responded to the accident at about 9:47 a.m. in the 23400 block of Northeast Novelty Hill Road. According to Redmond Fire Department Lt. Mark Freymuth, the driver lost control of his vehicle, veered off the road and rolled over onto the south shoulder of the road. Medical personnel evaluated the driver, who was transported to the Harborview Medical Center trauma center in

Seattle. At press time, the Reporter didn’t have a current update on the driver’s status. The driver was the only person in the vehicle. Freymuth said it was windy and the road was wet at the time of the accident and he’s not sure of the cause of the accident. It was not raining at the time. While the fire and medical units were on scene (six vehicles and about 14 people total), police directed cars onto the other shoulder of the road to allow traffic to move in both directions, Freymuth said. Police are investigating the accident.

Five important fall lawn-care tips for homeowners Special to the Reporter

When it comes to lawn maintenance, the end of summer shouldn’t necessarily mean the end of lawn care. Most homeowners think their lawns need less care during the fall months because grass and plants aren’t actively blooming, but the exact opposite is true. In fact, the infrequent rainfall and cooler temperatures make fall the perfect time to prepare lawns for next spring. In order to get a head start on a healthy lawn for next spring, The Grounds Guys of Redmond, a full-service commercial and residen-

tial grounds care franchise, is sharing the top five immediate steps homeowners should take this fall in order to guarantee a lush, healthy spring lawn. “There is a common misconception amongst homeowners that as soon as the summer months are over, lawn care comes to an end,” said Michelle Deacon, owner of The Grounds Guys in Redmond. “Instead of letting all that hard work during the spring and summer months go to waste, once fall arrives people should utilize this time of year to get lawns prepped and ready to survive the winter months. This will

lead to a healthy, vibrant lawn come springtime.” The Grounds Guys of Redmond recommends taking these important steps in order to prepare your lawn for the long, dormant winter: 1) Continue mowing the grass: Even though grass isn’t growing as quickly, it is still vitally important to continue to cut and water the lawn throughout the fall months. During the last two cuttings of the season, drop the lawn mower blades to the lowest settings to allow more sunlight to reach the crown of the grass, which leads to less

browning during the winter. 2) Rake (or masscollect) the leaves: Although it is easier and less time consuming to let leaves fall freely from the trees, make sure you remove fallen leaves as soon as possible. If left unraked, leaves become wet and sticky, forming a layer that will suffocate the grass and become a breeding ground for fungal diseases. 3) Aerate and fertilize the soil: Fall is the ideal time to aerate your lawn so that water, oxygen

and fertilizer can easily reach the grass’ roots. By punching holes in the soil and extracting the plugs of dirt, fertilizers can easily deliver essential nutrients to the grass’ roots which will be put on reserve for a healthy start in the spring. 4) Control weeds: While grass is actively absorbing nutrients and energy in order to reserve and store for the winter months, weeds are doing the same. Fall is the ideal time to apply an herbicide to prevent the weeds from returning in the spring. 5) Mulch application: Applying mulch in the fall can help protect

plant roots and grass from temperatures during the winter. In addition, mulch can help reserve moisture if the area doesn’t receive adequate precipitation during the cooler months. Utilizing the fall months to prepare lawns for the winter is essential to protecting its yearround health. Neglecting this critical work will cost you come springtime when minor issues that may have developed turn into major problems. By following these simple tips, homeowners can rest assured over the cooler months knowing that they have taken the proper measures to have a hearty, healthy lawn next spring.

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone. They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work. Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area. Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region. Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives. In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support. The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District. Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service. For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide. The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites. Boeing also supports military personnel and families. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month. Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support. With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million. The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers. Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack

of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education. “This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,” Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.” The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future, officials said. “It allows us to reach more kids, allows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dramatically to reach underserved audiences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s investment. “What we find in our immer-

sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up going into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.” Meanwhile, June Boeing represented her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match. “He cared so deeply about the educational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

Giving Back... Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community. GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand

SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for homeless women. Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigerators replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support additional night shelters.

$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, oneday event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medical screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

THANK YOU VIETNAM WAR VETERANS FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THE SACRIFICES YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HAVE MADE. Many of the troops who returned home from Vietnam at the end of the war were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts had received.

Fairbanks focused on ‘Triumph Project’ ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Jeff Fairbanks just wanted to survive his first sprint triathlon. About two years ago, he borrowed a bike from a friend and slipped into uncomfortable spandex gear. The 37-year-old chuckles when noting that he even brought his surfing wetsuit to the Clear Lake Triathlon in Skagit County. Fairbanks — a former Redmond resident who recently moved with his family to Carnation — said he wasn’t a cyclist, swimmer or runner before tackling the event, but that all changed when he crossed the finish line. The man who felt like he didn’t fit in with his lack of triathlon experience and body emblazoned with tattoos made it unscathed the whole way and was ready for more. “It totally hooked me,” Fairbanks said after finishing his swim workout on a recent afternoon at Gold’s Gym in Redmond. “None of the sports themselves

were of interest, but when they got combined, it was something else. That challenge, that looking forward to different things (interested him).” Just as important as finishing the event, Fairbanks said he felt welcomed by the triathlon community and was encouraged to push forth. He’s since completed about nine more sprint triathlons, two half triathlons and an Olympicdistance triathlon. Competing in triathlons sparked an idea for Fairbanks to begin work on “The Triumph Project,” a documentary about the sport and the people who gut it out to get triathlon finishes under the their belts. Fairbanks initially wanted to make a brief video about the triathlon scene, but as he spoke with more people at events, his aspirations grew and he felt a full-length documentary was in order. It’s been a year in the making and he hopes to have it finished by next November

or December. The film will feature professional triathlete Rachel McBride; BMX star Dave Mirra, who also does triathlons; and Jack Toland, sprint- and Olympic-distance under-20 world champion triathlete. Fairbanks, who will also be in the film, has put $10,000 into the project. “My perspective in this whole project has been kind of to be the ‘average Joe.’ I’m kind of showcasing the juggling of what I would call other responsibilities,” Fairbanks said of family, work, triathlons and being “The Triumph Project” creator. “I hope that I can help showcase all these different people’s pathways and kind of how they came into it and break down the exclusivity.” Fairbanks wants people to challenge themselves and give triathlons a chance. “I bet you could do more than you think you could. That to me was kind of what I felt transcended everything for me,” said Fairbanks, who trains four

to five times a week for a total of about 10 hours, including swimming at Gold’s, running two- and four-mile sessions and cycling on a Wahoo Kickr, an indoor bike trainer. “It’s changed my life. It’s made other situations in life not seem as daunting,” Fairbanks added. “For myself, I see progression. I felt like I’ve seen a positive impact to my physical being, and I think in my mental fortitude.” However, there are times when Fairbanks feels things get a bit too cumbersome on the triathlon course. But then he digs down deep into his psyche and springs back to life. “I feel like when those things come, those are some of your most building moments,” he said of the struggles. “I use those as a reflection to my daily stuff. I realize, ‘I can do this.’” For more information, visit thetriumphproject.org. There’s also a Kickstarter page at: http://tinyurl.com/ nlyva5u

EvergreenHealth gets Strong on prostate awareness Around 230,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. African American men have the highest incidence rate of prostate cancer and 60 percent more are likely to develop it compared to Caucasian men. However, 95 percent of men get prostate cancer at some point, according to Rose Guerrero, director of cancer services at The Halvorson Cancer Center at EvergreenHealth. Although the exact cause is not known for certain, the survival rate is relatively high. The main problem, Guerrero said, is convincing reluctant men be screened earlier, starting in their 40s and 50s. As part of their prostate cancer treatment, EvergreenHealth has introduced new technology not found elsewhere in the state. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in April, the technology reduces the side effects of prostate cancer treatment. Richard Hsi, MD, a radiation oncologist at EvergeenHealth, participated in the clinical

TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Former Seattle Seahawks fullback Mack Strong recently hosted an event at EvergreenHealth to raise awareness about prostate cancer that also helped highlight exclusive new technology introduced at the hospital for improving cancer treatment. The event allowed participants to test their Seahawks trivia knowledge, get signed autographs and photos with Strong, who played for the Seahawks 14 seasons. Strong has been hosting the event for six years and said he first got involved out of a desire to encourage more men in his age group, particularly African American men, to take proactive steps in dealing with prostate cancer and live their lives with peace of mind. “It became one of those things I needed to do,” he said. “It’s something we need to stress a lot more, when you’re approaching that age you need to get checked. “

trials for the technology. Injecting a gel into the patient reduced radiation in the surrounding areas treated for cancer by 75 percent, with a 70 percent reduction in toxicity. For patients looking at treatment options, the gel injection makes radiation a more attractive choice than surgery; the gel is 90 percent water and goes away within six months, according to Hsi. For doctors like Hsi, the gel could possibly allow them to give patients stronger radiation treatment. “We’re basically taking a step in making the treatment successful without any residual effects,” he said. According to EvergreenHealth, since the radiation treatment was first introduced in 2000, 98 percent of prostate cancer patients who opt for the treatment were found disease-free in follow-up prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. More information about the cancer center can be found at evergreenhealth. com/halvorson.

Comcast Business announced a substantial network expansion to the Redmond-Woodinville business district, bringing a full range of Ethernet services to nearly 100 businesses in the 150th-170th block of Woodinville/Redmond Road. Comcast Business invested more than $100,000 to bring fiber and coaxial cable to area businesses that range from construction and manufacturing firms to fitness centers and wineries. These businesses will soon have access to high-performance Ethernet service of up to 10 gigabitsper-second (Gbps), in addition to the Comcast

system,” said Dan Koch, director of engineering and major projects at PSE. “In fact, Energize Eastside is needed to solve local delivery capacity issues because of so much growth. Independent studies, along with our own, have confirmed that. And now, so has FERC.” FERC further states the Energize Eastside project “was designed to address (PSE’s) projected inability to serve its own customers,” and confirmed that PSE “has demonstrated that its needs assessments identified a transmission capacity deficiency.”

The Energize Eastside project will build a new electric substation and higher-capacity transmission lines to serve the Eastside, meeting the growing electric needs of homes and businesses in Eastside neighborhoods. The line had its last major upgrade in the 1960s. “The complainants erroneously asserted the Energize Eastside project primarily benefits the larger, regional transmission

Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is teaming up with Food Lifeline to help feed families this holiday season and electric customers can help by getting rid of their old, working refrigerators or freezers. What customers need to do: • Schedule free pickup of their old fridge or freezer by going online or by phone. • Go to pse.com/donate. • Call 1-877-577-0510, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • They’ll earn a $25 rebate once PSE has removed the appliance.

• They’ll be asked if they want to donate their rebate to Food Lifeline.

The fridges and freezers must be clean, empty, defrosted and in working condition. All units are recycled in an environmentally responsible manner and most of the glass, metal, and plastic is collected and reused. In addition to helping families who need it,

more. Businesses have been demanding faster uploads for access to the cloud for data storage and backup, and Frontier is committed to fulfilling those needs.” This enhancement comes at a time when businesses are more dispersed, with employees working from multiple locations and uploading and storing files to the cloud like never before, making upload and download speeds equally as important for online productivity and performance. Employees want to spend less time waiting for uploads and more time taking care of business. With 2FAST symmetrical FiOS from Frontier, customers will experience: • Faster data backup to remote servers • Quicker access to cloud applications • Smoother video conferencing with less buffering • Easy sharing of large

files and presentations Frontier’s enhanced broadband network now offers symmetrical speeds up to 150 megabits per second (Mbps) up and down to FiOS business customers. The company also continues to offer broadband speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) through its Ethernet services for businesses requiring more broadband capacity. “This is a game-changing upgrade that allows commercial customers to have the bandwidth to do basically anything they want, from video file sharing and conferencing, to providing online customer service — the possibilities are considerable,” Christian added. Business customers are encouraged to call 1-888-FRONTIER for information about 2FAST symmetrical service options.
