Thoughts are with Paris Redmond bakery owner, Microsoft worker who both grew up in Paris discuss attacks SAMANTHA PAK
Kaskou, who owns the Belle Pastry bakeries in Redmond and Bellevue, grew up in Paris and still has family and friends living in the area. He and one of his sisters — Nadia — live on the Eastside, but he said their mother, other sister and youngest brother still live in Paris. In addition, Kaskou said he has a friend who lives very close to the city’s 11th arrondissement, or district, near the Bataclan theater. This was where terrorists took concertgoers attending an Eagles of Death Metal show hostage and in the end, killed 89 people.

A DIVISION OF SOUND PUBLISHING
On Nov. 13, Khalid Kaskou was listening to the French soccer match against Germany when he learned about the explosions just outside of the Stade de France — the French national stadium. The radio announcers initially thought the explosions were fireworks, but Kaskou learned shortly that French President François Hollande had been removed from the stadium. “It was pretty confusing,” Kaskou said. “Nobody knew what was happening.” It wasn’t long after that moment that he and the rest of the world learned that the explosions were part of multiple, simultaneous attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead.

bedroom, one resident quickly called 911 and the dispatcher stayed on the line, talking them through the situation. The resident reported hearing rummaging sounds downstairs, which the dispatcher then passed on to officers, who arrived and quickly established a perimeter around the residence. Officers spotted the subject inside, removed him from the home and took him into custody. He had made entry by breaking a bedroom window, and
officers found related property from the residence on him, along with a screwdriver and dark gloves. He was booked into jail for burglary and seconddegree possession of stolen property. “The 911 dispatcher noted later that our resident was great on the phone, remaining calm and providing clear updates on what she was hearing in her house, which allowed the dispatcher to provide updates to responding officers,” Range said.

Courtesy of Khalid Kaskou Fortunately, all of their family and friends are OK. Kaskou, who moved to the United States in 2009 and lives in Bellevue, said his family is from Paris’s 12th arrondissement. He said they live only a few blocks away from the Jewish grocery store that was the site of a siege following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January. “We all know these places,” Kaskou said about his familiarity with the points of attack, adding that the Bataclan was one of his favorite places to go on Friday and Saturday nights. For Olivier Fontana, the confusion and worry-
ing about loved ones was not that different once he learned about the Paris attacks. Both he and his wife are originally from Paris and now they live in Issaquah. Fontana works at Microsoft in Redmond. Like Kaskou, both Fontana and his wife still have family and friends in Paris or the Paris suburbs. Fontana said they were able to get a hold of everyone and they’re OK. “It was reassuring,” he said, adding that his brother lives very close to one of the areas hit, but fortunately, he was out of town at the time of the attacks.

All last week as well as part of the beginning of this week, the Bear Creek Community Church (BCCC) has been acting as a collection point for Operation Christmas Child (OCC). The Woodinville church was one of five locations on the Eastside doing their part to help children from around the world. Longtime Redmond resident Cathy Lundstedt — who currently lives in Seattle but still attends BCCC — is the collection center coordinator for BCCC and this was the ninth year she has been involved with OCC.
OCC is a ministry under Samaritan’s Purse, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding the world’s poor, sick and suffering. “We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ,” the organization’s website reads. BCCC’s collection week for OCC was part of Samaritan’s Purse’s national collection week for the ministry, which took place from Nov. 16 through Monday. This year, the organization’s goal is to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach more than 11 million children. [ more MINISTRY page 3]

King County program gets Redmond Ridge residents In Motion SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
For about a dozen years, King County’s In Motion program has worked
with different urban and suburban communities to encourage people to utilize different modes of transportation besides driving alone.
But in those 12 or so years, the program had not done its outreach to the more rural areas — until now. Since September, In Motion has been working with the communities of Redmond Ridge, Duvall and Carnation. Sunny Knott, program manger for In Motion, said they sent mailouts to the communities, providing information on how people can get started. She said they are asking people to make a commitment to try
something new — whether that is taking the bus, walking, bicycling or carpooling — and the King County program is making tools available to them to help make that possible. Through the program, people can log their trips and Knott said they are asking participants to tell them what new ways they have found to travel. She said with past In Motion programs, they have distributed surveys to participants at the end of the program, asking them various cus-
tomer service questions. “We see a pretty significant shift in drive-alone travel,” Knott said. The current In Motion program with Redmond Ridge, Duvall and Carnation is still underway so the county has not distributed the surveys yet. Residents can sign up through Dec. 6. When residents make the pledge and sign up for In Motion, they will receive a free ORCA card good for two weeks of unlimited travel or a travel mug. Participants can also

request information such as neighborhood maps and transit schedules. Knott acknowledged that the program is coming to a close, so for those who are signing up now, they will still receive the ORCA card or travel mug and receive the same information. They just won’t be able to log their trips as much as those who signed up earlier in the program. “We would at least get them started,” Knott said. Cindy Watanabe-Mezs, project manager for In Motion, said they have about 270 participants in the program currently. She said since they began the program in September, they have been able to prevent about 24,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. So not only does In Motion encourage people to take their cars off the road, it is also good for the environment. Knott added that nearly 3,200 trips so far with their current In Motion program — which includes all three communities — have changed from driving alone to another option. The county is aware of the different needs and as a result, Knott said In Motion is promoting the Valley Shuttle in partnership with Snoqualmie Valley Transit. This shuttle provides all-day service between Duvall, Carnation, Fall City, North Bend and Snoqualmie. In addition, a Duvall Community Van is coming later this year and will offer pre-scheduled group trips to get residents where they need to go. Jeff Switzer, a public affairs coordinator for the county, added that transit options in different communities can be a mixed bag, so they have to look at what those options actually are and go from there. In addition, Knott said the county has organized and held community events with the idea of garnering more program participants as well as motivating people to look at alternative modes of transportation. Redmond Ridge resident Beth Sigall attended one of those events with her oldest son. She said she first learned about one of the In Motion meetings a couple months ago. Alternative modes of transportation are something her family has been interested [ more MOTION page 6]

A wish come true: Cancer survivor creates video to help other children
Lundstedt said for OCC, they collect and pack gifts into shoe boxes, which will be sent to children worldwide. Those gifts include hygiene items, school supplies, small toys and stuffed animals as well as a gender-specific items. For boys, one of those items is a soccer ball with a pump and for girls, some of those times are sewing kits and dresses. Lundstedt said she initially got involved with OCC when she was working with the children at her church. She thought it would make a good children’s project. But since nine years ago, OCC has become a project for everyone at BCCC. “All ages get involved,” Lundstedt said. Earlier this month, her church held an OCC packing party. She said they packed about 400 boxes and volunteers ranged from young kids to seniors. Lundstedt said OCC gifts are distributed to 103 countries worldwide — typically distributed in the first quarter of the year. She said 90 percent of the gift boxes are distributed by locals in-country. However, in July, she got the opportunity to distribute some gifts herself. “It was life changing,”
Lundstedt said about the experience. She traveled to Tanzania and got to see firsthand the children’s reactions when they received and opened their gifts. Lundstedt admitted that she got teary-eyed when she saw their expressions and then the kids playing with their new toys. In addition, she spoke with a number of pastors at the local churches where the OCC gifts were distributed. She said it was good to see the children realize someone in the world cares about them.

After her fairy godmother tells her she must fight the dragon, she travels to collect a magic wand that will help her fight the dragon, but strip her of her strength and hair. But, with the help of her family and friends, she defeats the dragon. The decision how Alexis — who attends school in Bellevue — would use her wish slowly unfolded over her years of treatment. Myriad ideas were bounced around when Alexis was first approached by Make-A-Wish — having Alexis appear on what was one of her favorite shows, “Yo Gabba Gabba”, for a segment on pediatric cancer was an early contender. There was only one hard and fast rule: no other princesses. “One of the first emails I think I got from Angela was that Alexis didn’t want to meet a princess, because

Skip the mall and ‘shop small’ tomorrow Redmond’s small businesses have the power to propel the local economy and uplift the community. When our small businesses do well, our community does well, too. Please join thousands of your neighbors and “shop small” on Small Business Saturday, tomorrow, to support your local business owners and support the Redmond economy. With the holiday season upon us, I cannot think of a better time to recommit in honoring our neighborhood champions — Redmond’s small businesses. After hitting the mall on Black Friday, shopping small is a concrete way to support small businesses — the same businesses that create two of every three new jobs, and deliver essential goods and services 365 days a year. Shopping small packs a big punch to the local economy. Last year, there were 88 million consumers “shopping small” on Saturday. Seventy seven percent of consumers said Small Business Saturday inspires them to “shop small” throughout the year and not just for the holidays. In addition, 66 percent of consumers state the main reason they support small businesses is because of their contributions to the community.

No race is exempt from micro aggression Have you ever had that moment when you were questioning whether somebody made a racist advance towards you? Was it racist, or are you being overly sensitive? You might make excuses up for them such as, “Maybe they were having a bad day…” More than likely they were being subtly racist, intentionally or unintentionally. Racial micro-aggression is a problem. Everyone experiences some type of racism no mater what race you are. For example, my dad used to live in San Francisco. Now, every requirement for high school students is P.E., and his teacher was a middleaged Chinese woman. His class consisted of mostly Chinese students, and my father was one of the few white males in that class. Whenever the class was assigned to
do an activity, the teacher was more affirming to the Chinese students. With the white males she would grimace at them and give them a hard time because she liked the Chinese students better. As a mixed young woman, I’ve also had odd micro aggression instances. I’ve had a classmate ask me if I was A-rab. They looked at me with a disgusted face. Almost like if I said “yes” she would throw insults at me. When I said no, she then asked me, “What are you then?” I’ve had people ask me if I speak Mexican. Not all Latinos are Mexican and you don’t speak Mexican! I had a teacher tell me I had to go wash my hands in a health-care setting because Hispanic hands are dirtier than other races hands. I believe this is a problem because it is still a form of racism that is relatively acceptable. People play it off as, “Oh I didn’t
mean it like that.” Well then you should be mindful of how other people perceive of you. Of what you say or act like. I feel like a lot of times people say subtly racist things and pay no mind to it. Nobody really cares because you’re not actually being racist to their faces. Then the person who has talked to like that will think… “Were they being racist or am I just being too sensitive?” The whole cycle is vicious. What I am asking you to do is simple. Be mindful of what you’re saying to people. Don’t just blurt out what you’re thinking. Try to assess the situation. Is your statement offensive to strangers? No race is exempt from micro aggression, it doesn’t matter if you’re Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian or of African descent.

Both Kaskou and Fontana have visited Paris following the Charlie Hebdo attacks — Kaskou in June, Fontana in July. Kaskou said while he was there, he noticed more soldiers patrolling the streets and working with the police. But while this was the case, he felt terrorism was not a high concern for people. This may have been because the January attacks had a specific target — whereas this month’s attacks were random and had no particular target, Kaskou said. The mentality behind them was to just scare people. Following these recent attacks, attitudes and concerns are different. “We could sense (our family and friends) were really worried and everyone’s shocked,” Kaskou said about his phone calls home. He added that his friends in other parts of Europe realize something similar can happen to them, adding to the fear. When Fontana visited Paris in July, he said

In the email, Urquhart also told his deputies that the FBI has not received any specific, credible information of any imminent attacks to this country. “I believe the bigger threat to the greater Seattle area is a home-grown terrorist who decides to act unilaterally in support of ISIL,” Urquhart said. Urquhart ended the email to his deputies saying, “Now is the time! With all that is going on in the world, it is more important than ever to have the means to protect your family, the public and yourself.”
excited about it… I have a daughter, too, just being able to do anything to make her world a little bit brighter was attractive, and the whole process of being around her energy and the way it brought our team together has been really positive and special,” said Alan Nay, one of World Famous’ directors. Her cartoon premiered on Oct. 24 at the Cinerama theater in Seattle, and Alexis picked out a dress to wear at her premiere at the Macy’s in Bellevue. As Alexis walked the red carpet into the pre-
miere, people stopped to introduce themselves to her, take photos and ask questions. Alexis felt like a princess, she said. For each letter received until Dec. 25, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Since 2008, they have donated more than $10.8 million to Make-A-Wish. Alexis’ video can be viewed here: https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=hsFC697omCM

hometown under attack, neither Kaskou nor Fontana think countries should stop letting in Syrian refugees. Kaskou said these people are leaving everything behind and in many cases, it is a matter of life or death. Fontana said, “dumb doesn’t even capture it,” when it comes to some people’s attitudes toward keeping out Syrian refugees. He said he and his wife are proud of Washington Gov. Jay Inslee for welcoming the refugees, adding that the French government will still take in Syrian refugees despite the recent attacks the
country has seen. These people are escaping war, Fontana said, and turning them away is just making generalizations about a group of people. Kaskou said the same thing about Muslims. There are about 4 million to 5 million Muslims living in France and Kaskou said it is already tough enough to be of that faith in Europe. This month’s attacks in Paris have just added more tension to cross-cultural relationships. “They don’t need that now,” Kaskou said about the attacks and added tensions.

At this time, our department does not have any intelligence that lead us to believe there is an increased safety threat in the local area.”
COMING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY
it’s a hundred-plus-year tradition. “We just make fun of everything.” Eventually that humor began to make its way across the Atlantic to here in the United States, Fontana said. And in the face of these hardships, he pointed out Paris’s motto: “Fluctuat nec mergitur,” a Latin phrase that means, “Tossed but not sunk.” Fontana said this just means the French have faced a lot of things in its history and these attacks will not bring Paris or France down.
ATHLETE OFMONTH
In wake of the recent attacks in Paris, King County Sheriff John Urquhart sent an email to all of his deputies asking them to carry their weapons while off duty. “Of course we should all stay vigilant and ‘if you see something, say something,’ but after Paris, that doesn’t seem enough,” said Urqu-
Fontana is the president of Union of French Expatriates (UFE) Seattle, a not-for-profit, apolitical and non-religious organization whose goal is to welcome and support the French and French-speaking community in the Puget Sound area. Following this month’s attacks as well as the attacks in January, UFE Seattle organized gatherings for the local commu-
nity to be together and show their support for those in Paris. The most recent gathering was Nov. 14 at La Parisienne French Bakery in downtown Seattle. Fontana said following the attacks, the local French community has received a lot of support from each other as well as others. From the Space Needle flying the French flag to neighbors bringing them cookies and flowers, those outside of the French community have been showing that they care, he said. Kaskou echoed this, saying customers have been coming into the bakeries asking after his family and friends back home. “It means a lot,” he said about their concerns. In addition to these gestures of support, Fontana said by the Monday following the attacks, the “French attitude” began taking over, meaning humor. He said he was seeing people using humor in comics and social media to heal and move forward. “That’s the French way,” he said, explaining
he stopped by a little grocery store that was located in front of one of the restaurants that was hit two weeks ago. Like Kaskou, he said security and police presence was higher than he had experienced previously, but it wasn’t to the point of a state of emergency. Fontana has been hit with a maelstrom of emotions when thinking about his homeland and hometown being the target of terrorist attacks: fear, hurt, upset and frustration. He said the latter has been the result of constantly asking, “What can I do?”

Legislators on both the state and federal levels celebrated public education during American Education Week Nov. 16-20. Eighth-grade teacher Brigitte Tennis extended invitations to several legislators to co-teach with her at Redmond’s Stella Schola Middle School in Lake Washington School District. Tennis was not surprised when legislators responded with enthusiasm
and eagerness. “Our elected officials really want to experience modern public education by being part of the teaching and learning process,” Tennis said. Tennis, a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) and member of the National Teacher’s Hall of Fame, feels that there are many benefits when legislators participate in the learning process. The students are excited because they can

and that’s why I went into law. I have two rules in life: be nice and have fun,” he told students. Goodman, a Harvard graduate who studied Latin and Greek in college, said he was impressed that the class was learning Latin because “the art of politics is using language to get people to do things, and Latin can help you because it increases vocabulary and expands the mind.” Engaged in discussion of the environment and global needs, Ian Sleeman asked how he was planning to uphold the McCleary decision. Rep. Goodman said that our state was “having a hard time agreeing on how to do that, but we pay less than most other states for public schools and that needs to change.” This was Rep. Goodman’s third year visiting Mrs. Tennis’ class. At the end of the week, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (1st Congressional District of Washington
state) paid a visit to Tennis’ class. “I reached out to her because she has always made time to speak with my students in the spring when we go to Washington, DC, so I knew she would jump at the chance to come to the classroom,” Tennis said. Congresswoman DelBene co-taught in an algebra I class with Tennis that highlighted the common core standards of perseverance and logical thinking. With the added benefit of moving gummy bear manipulatives on paper (and occasionally into their mouths) students used various methods to solve the problem. “Finding different ways to solve problems is what we do in Congress,” DelBene commented, pointing out the real-world application of the activity.

she said if you’re staying in the neighborhood, walking along the local trails to get from one place to another can be nice. For example she said one of the trails leads to the community’s main shopping plaza area where the QFC, Starbucks, Mod Pizza and more are located. Sigall said the trail’s signage does not say this, but it would be nice if it did. Encouraging people to walk on the local trails is just one example of In Motion encouraging people to explore other modes of transportation.

She and her family have been living on Redmond Ridge for about eight years and since they moved there, her oldest son — who is now 16 — spent a lot of time exploring the area’s trails. Both Sigall and her son are signed up with In Motion. Sigall, who works from home, said on Redmond Ridge, sometimes it is necessary to use a car to get from one place to another — especially when traveling further away from the community. However,

Five tips for holiday thriving
traditions and rituals in their lives foster a greater experience of connection to the principles attached to such practices and to the people sharing in these beloved traditions. This year, take time to create new holiday rituals or refresh those you already treasure. Avoid obligation. Holiday stress often arises when we meet the expectations of others at the risk of honoring our own needs. Take time to consider how you envision the holidays for yourself or Shannon West
and honor during this time? What do you believe to be important? A shift toward significance enhances our ability to enjoy the holidays from an intentional perspective of purpose and passion. When we survey the values we hold, meaningmaking and more fulfilling practices follow. Engage tradition. Rituals provide our lives with the practice and continuity of conviction. Individuals and families thoughtful about building and maintaining
GUEST COLUMN
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, or is it? For some, the holidays bring endless celebration and bliss. For others, they’re a time of tender struggle to find fulfillment. As we celebrated Thanksgiving and ushered in the holiday season, the following suggestions are intended to bring encouragement to places of challenge, save ourselves from undue stress, and increase the delight we wish to know during the festive days ahead. Survey significance. What do you and your family value during the holiday season? What’s the central theme you hope to create
your family. Are expectations of others challenging the ideals you desire to create? I encourage you to minimize these elements as much as possible to prevent the experience of stress and struggle from being the essence of how you and your family remember this beautiful season. Renew pleasure. Has it been a difficult year? The holidays are often a time when life’s disappointments or tragedies feel especially tender. While it may not be possible to change the circumstances bringing pain or distress, it is possible to focus attention and emotion toward the aspects of life bringing pleasure and peace. Take time to remember and practice places of delight, either from the past or enjoyed
in the present. Conjure these practices and grant them greater significance alongside current challenges in your life. Serve charitably. While important to create experiences bringing joy and fulfillment to our own lives during the holidays, it’s also vital to remain connected to the experiences of others. This expanded awareness also enhances our ability to enjoy the holidays from a deeper sense of purpose. Research tells us there’s a direct correlation between our own state of happiness and the ways we embody charity and service in our life. Desire more happiness this holiday season? Find a need in your community and meet it. Think you might only be able to tackle one of these
ideas this year? Make it the last item on the list: serve charitably — and watch it transform the other lifespaces, too. This has been a year where we have seen great need across our globe, and I encourage you to be intentional about fostering an experience that includes serving others this season. The privilege of making a difference in another’s life surely bestows our own transformation and fulfillment in the process, and that is indeed the truest spirit of holiday thriving.

Global Inflight Products booth wins Best of Show at expo Redmond’s Global Inflight Products (G.I.P.) recently won the Best of Show again at the airline industry’s premier event APEX-IFSA EXPO 2015 at Portland’s Convention Center. Celebrating its 20-year anniversary, G.I.P. presented their latest in-flight products and concepts to thousands of aviation professionals, who voted the booth as Best of Show 2015. The creative booth display was constructed using airline trolley service drawers to showcase the wide range of the latest onboard products designed and manufactured by G.I.P. — including porcelain, service ware, amenity kits, blankets and headsets. Zine Badissy is G.I.P.’s president and Paulina White designed the booth. “Listening to our customers and building

Film about former Redmond cheerleader set to make its Internet debut Redmond-based Rain City Cinema recently announced that it is releasing local filmmaker Paul Gorman’s documentary, “Ride
The Sky,” about skydiver Joan Carson, who was a cheerleader at Redmond High School (RHS) during the late 1960s. “Ride The Sky” makes its pay-per-view Internet debut on Dec. 1 at www.raincitycinema.com. With wanderlust in her blood and skydiving the love of her life, Carson pursued her passion at drop zones across the West. She finally settled in Kalispell, Mont. and was one of the founders of Lost Prairie Skydive Center — now home to one of the top five skydiving boogies in the world. Carson passed away in a skydiving mishap shortly af-
ter Lost Prairie Skydive Center opened. She was 30 years old at the time. The cause of her double malfunction remains a mystery. “‘Ride The Sky’ captures the culture of skydiving in the ‘70s as it retraces Joan’s skydiving footsteps, beginning in Montana and working backward, digging into her past and the events that motivated her,” said Gorman. Gorman, who knew Carson at RHS, spent time with her while she was living in San Francisco. While there, he dreamt that she had a fatal skydiving mishap. He was deeply affected years later at the news of her passing. “Her fatality shocked me. She was one of my first classmates to depart, and it was one of those events that stays with you the rest of your life,” said Gorman. Gorman wanted to understand the meaning of his dream and what drove Carson to continue skydiving after suffering two serious accidents. “I was curious as to the reason she took the risks she did and why she would continue doing something that caused her so much pain,” he said. It was after learning that
while in her 20s, Carson and several of her skydiving friends had built their own airfield, hangar, and skydive center in the Montana wilderness, that Gorman was hooked. “I was impressed with her accomplishments and adventurous spirit. The fact that Joan would follow her passion from the safety of the suburbs of Redmond to the sophistication of San Francisco, and then to the wilderness in Montana — where she built her own airport and skydive center — convinced me that her story was bigger than my own personal interest and had universal appeal. It was then that I decided to make a film about her,” said Gorman.
EndoGastric Solutions names Burke chief financial officer Redmond’s EndoGastric Solutions (EGS), a leader in incisionless procedural therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), announced that industry veteran Michael K. Burke has been named chief financial officer. Burke is a
seasoned financial executive with more than 30 years of experience. “I am excited to join EGS at such an important time in the company’s development,” Burke stated. “Since receiving our CPT code designation, millions of individuals suffering from painful acid reflux symptoms will now have a pathway to the TIF procedure — a safe and effective treatment option not previously available to them. I look forward to working alongside EGS’s leadership team in establishing our transoral, incisionless procedure as a standard of care for a subset of GERD patients that would significantly benefit from this treatment option.” EGS recently announced that the Federal Register has posted coding and payment information specific to the new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), allowing patients to more easily receive access to treatment for GERD. Physicians and hospitals will be able to reference CPT Code 43210 EGD esophagogastric fundoplasty and APC 5331 Complex GI Procedures for TIF procedures as of Jan. 1, 2016.
Traffic isn’t the only problem caused by Eastside growth Eastside population has grown eight-fold since the 1960s. Today, traffic jams are the norm rather than the exception. The Eastside’s electric grid is about to suffer a similar fate — soon, demand will exceed capacity, risking longer outages. Learn how PSE is working with your community on a safe, reliable solution.
