Redmond Wells Fargo hands off jersey in support of Brain Injury Alliance of WA Wells Fargo’s Redmond branch recently donated a signed Russell Wilson Seattle Seahawks jersey to the Brain Injury Alliance of Washington. From left to right, Jessica Giordano, director of support programs for the alliance; Deborah Crawley, executive director of the alliance; and Nita Ku, business specialist at Wells Fargo’s Redmond branch. Wells Fargo won the jersey in a community campaign and donated it to the nonprofit of their choice. According to Crawley, a Wells Fargo employee’s mother suffered an injury and this exchange is in support of her. At the alliance’s fundraiser gala at the Westin Hotel in Seattle, a waiter who was serving the attendees won the jersey with a $1,500 bid. Crawley said the waiter is a brain-injury survivor and also donated cash to the alliance at last year’s gala. The alliance supports prevention and services of brain injuries, which includes its national work with youth concussion prevention in sports. Courtesy photo

Jacob Imam will be the first to admit he can sometimes overextend himself. And this past fall was a prime example. As a senior at Baylor University (BU) in Waco, Texas, much of the Redmond native’s time has been taken up by classes, homework and all that comes with school. In addition, Imam’s time was also taken up by applying for two scholarships: the Rhodes Scholarship and the Marshall Scholarship. In November, he learned he had been selected for the latter. “It was just tremendous,” said Imam, who graduated from The Bear Creek School in 2012, about how he felt when he received the news. “It is a huge award.” And the work involved in applying was also tremendous. He said the application was 10 pages long and included several essays — including personal statements as well as an essay on United States-United Kingdom relations, as the Marshall Scholarship is funded by the British government to fund American citizens to study in the UK. “It was such a long process,” Imam said with a laugh about applying. “It was really arduous.” After submitting his applica-

tion, Imam was contacted for an interview. He was also contacted for an interview for the Rhodes Scholarship. Imam traveled from Texas to San Francisco and then to Seattle for his interviews. He then had to travel to England for a prior engagement at Oxford. This was all in the span of two weeks. Upon returning to BU, where he is studying classics and historical philosophy, Imam said he had a lot of homework and studying to catch up on during his absence from school. “It was terrible,” he said about the back-to-back travel. But it was worth it as the Marshall Scholarship — which he learned he had received the day after his interview — will fund his studies for two years as well as research grants and his living expenses. Imam said he is “really thankful” to be selected for the scholarship. Imam admitted that he felt some trepidation when he learned he had received the scholarship. He said he didn’t [ more SCHOLAR page 2 ]

Redmond Ridge sisters hold gift drive for foster children SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Being separated from family is not easy — especially as a young child. Sisters Sneha Ruth Thomas and Sarah Rachna Thomas know how traumatic it can be. For Ruth, 17, it is from firsthand

experience. She and their older brother were adopted when they were young children from India. For Sarah, 11, it was through her siblings’ experiences. The two girls said this has given them the heart to care for kids who have had a difficult time. This year, things are hitting them a bit

more personally because their father recently got laid off from his job and times have not been easy in the Thomas household. Ruth said because of this, they received help from neighbors and members from their church. “That really meant a lot to our family,” she said

This generosity from others has led the girls to hold a holiday gift drive for local foster children. Ruth said they let their neighbors on Redmond Ridge and members of their church know about what they were doing, sending out emails and posting information on social media.

The drive lasted about two and a half weeks and during that time, people donated toys, clothes, jewelry and more to the cause. In addition, people donated money, which Ruth and Sarah said they used to buy more gifts. Sarah also requested for her birthday that people donate money

or gifts to their cause, as well, in lieu of buying gifts for her. In the end, they had more than 350 gifts to give to foster children. Ruth said seeing how much people donated was “honestly a gift to see that.” She said with this time of year being such a busy time [ more GIFTS page 2]

[2] January 1, 2016 REDMOND ELEMENTARY RECEIVES SCHOOL OF DISTINCTION AWARD

Redmond Elementary School is one of 90 schools in Washington being recognized with the 2015 School of Distinction award. The award is decided by a partnership among the Center for Educational Effectiveness (CEE), Association of Educational Service Districts (AESD), Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP), Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) and Washington Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (WASCD). The 90 schools represent 51 elementary, 20 middle/junior high and 21 high schools — which also include five alternative schools in these numbers. The schools were selected because of their sustained improvement

www.redmond-reporter.com over a five-year period in reading/ English language arts (ELA), math and graduation rate. Elementary and middle schools are recognized for sustained improvement in reading/ELA and math achievement. High schools are recognized for sustained improvement in graduation rate over the past five years. These 90 schools span all regions of the state, from large urban to small rural communities. Some of the student populations in these schools are as high as 97 percent poverty, 67 percent English language learners and serving high numbers of challenged learners in special education. “These schools demonstrate that significant improvement is occurring across all our diverse public schools,” said Greg Lobdell, CEO and director of research for CEE.

TESLA STEM TEACHERS UP FOR ALLEN DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS PROGRAM AWARD

A teacher and teaching team from Nikola Tesla STEM High School in unincorporated King County near Redmond have been named finalists for the Allen Distinguished Educators (ADE) Program. Alyson Nelson and the teaching team of Melissa Wrenchey, Mike Town and Kate Allender are among 16 finalists nationwide who are up for the program. From engineering prosthetic limbs, to student-run businesses, to out-of-the-box computer science curricula and more, ADE award applicants showcased an array of diverse and innovative strategies for teaching engineering, computer science and entrepreneurship. Now expanding to a second cohort of distinguished educators, the $25,000 ADE Award recognizes and rewards innovative K-12 teachers who help students master these disciplines through hands-on, experiential and project-based learning. The program was developed by Paul G. Allen based on his belief that innovation is a key driver in improving learning opportunities for young people. “It was inspiring to see so many exceptional teachers from across the country. It was very difficult to narrow the field to the 16 finalists — a true testament to the innovation that is already being applied by creative and dedicated teachers,” said Jerry Nguyen, Allen Awardee Program Officer. Up to seven awardees will be announced at SXSWedu on March 8.

[ GIFTS from page 1] for everyone, they were thinking they would be lucky to get 50-100 gifts. But seeing how much people gave and how much they opened their wallets for their gift drive made them feel blessed to be part of it. “This Christmas, my sister and I have come at (the holiday) with a purpose,” Ruth said, adding that this has been one of their best Christmases. “This was just a blessing.” To figure out where to bring the gifts so they could get into the hands of foster children, Ruth and Sarah reached out to family friend Bonnie DeCaroMonahan. DeCaro-Monahan works as ministry development director for Antioch Adoptions, a Redmond nonprofit that serves families who want to adopt, and connected them with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). From there, the Thomas sisters and their family brought the gifts to the DSHS office in Kent when the drive was completed. They were able to stay at the office for about 30-45 minutes and while they were there, foster parents came in and were able to shop for gifts for their foster children.

want the award to go to his head as the scholarship’s monetary amount will be upwards of $100,000. About 1,000 people applied for the scholarship and 32 American students were selected. According to a press release from BU, Imam was the only student from a Texas university selected. Imam has chosen the University of Oxford. He graduates from BU in the spring and will begin his studies at Oxford in October. Imam plans to pursue a master in philosophy degree in Islamic studies and history. Although he attended Bear Creek and is attending BU — both Christian schools — Imam has some history with the Islamic

“It was really amazing,” Sarah said about the experience. Like their family, she said some of the families were having financial troubles and it was nice to be able to help them. “Our family knows what it feels like,” she said about going through hard times. When they put out the request for gifts, the sisters specifically asked for items for older kids and teens. Ruth said this was because they’re the ones who will age out of the system first. While this was the case, they still received the least amount of gifts for teens. “It is harder to shop for older kids,” Ruth acknowledged, “but as they get older, they’re the ones who need it the most.” She said some of the monetary donations they received were used to shop for teens. For DeCaro-Monahan, seeing the two young girls do what they did and make such an impact was inspiring and showed that anyone and everyone can make a difference. “Our potential is greater than we allow ourselves credit,” she said.

faith. His father’s side of the family is Muslim and from the Middle East, hailing from Jerusalem, and in the Islamic faith, Imam is the word for the prayer leader of a mosque. While this may be, Imam said he was never a practicing Muslim. He became a Protestant Christian when he was 15 and then converted to Catholicism about a year ago when he was 21. One of the reasons Imam has chosen Islamic studies is the ongoing unrest in the Middle East. He said in order for the West to engage with the Middle East, religion must be a part of the conversation. In addition to his family’s background, Imam’s background with Islam comes from his senior thesis,

which is about the intertextuality of the Koran and the Bible as the two texts contain shared stories and retelling of various stories within their pages. Although Imam will be studying abroad for two years, he does not have any trepidations about it. He has traveled “quite a bit” ever since his days at Bear Creek. He said while he was still at the Redmond school, he traveled to Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic with the school on various trips. Since then, he had a two-month internship at the University of Cambridge in England, studied for two months at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and studied and had an internship at Oxford for more than six months.

Scouts to collect, recycle Christmas trees Each December, when most people are setting up their Christmas trees, Boy Scout troops across the Eastside and Seattle are gearing up for one of their biggest yearly projects. Each year, boys canvas neighborhoods throughout Redmond, picking up Christmas trees after the holiday. Scouts go out into assigned neighborhoods and collect trees left on the curb by residents. Donations received for Christmas tree-recycling services are used to help fund troop events, outdoor activities and educational programs for the upcoming year. Many donations come from people who previ-

ously participated in scouts programs during their own childhood. During the course of collecting trees, scouts usually visit with former scoutmasters, former Boy Scouts of all different ranks and from different countries, and former scouts from Troop 557. In the Trilogy neighborhood, where 557 collects, the boys have had the opportunity to meet men who achieved the Eagle Scout rank 30 or more years ago. For Troop 557, Christmas tree recycling is the only fundraiser the boys do during the year, so the boys work hard and spend three days working to collect trees. The suggested

donation amount is $15 per tree. Troop 557 will be collecting trees on Sunday as well as the following weekend, both Jan. 9-10. Troop 557 also operates a collection station at the QFC Bella Bottega parking lot located at Northeast 90th Street and 161st Avenue Northeast. Trees will be collected there from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and Jan. 9-10. Their website at www. Troop557.org provides information about Christmas tree pickup. “We are grateful for our community partners — QFC for the use of their parking lot for collection, All Wood Recycling for

the recycling services they provide for Troop 557 and many other Redmond troops and Greenway Landscape Services, Inc. for use of their trailers during our collection,” reads a press release. Last year, the boys found an ornament on a tree they had collected — it had a girl’s name and the year 1984. The troop contacted the homeowner’s association where the boys thought the tree had come from. That community sent out a notice in a community newsletter, and they were able to locate the owner of the sentimental ornament and return it to them.

Running to the real world At the same time every year, high school seniors begin to feel an inevitable stress, the stress of getting into college. Whether the student is aiming his or her sights high to schools like Yale University or Stanford, or even their local community college, there are so many unknowns that it’s no wonder why students feel stressed out. What many students lose sight of is that this stress that they are feeling is normal. The topic of college admissions has become a social taboo to bring into discussion, so naturally, students start to feel that nobody feels the same way as them. That, however, is not true. With that in mind, it’s not to be said that they aren’t nervous for a good reason. In an article from US News, researchers provided statistics that show how much more difficult college admissions are now than ever before. Some universities like Columbia have gone from acceptance rates at about 65 percent to an acceptance rate at about 7 percent — that’s quite a jump. Even not as prestigious colleges such as the University of Michigan went from 52 percent to 32 percent, the article said. With all this stress on their minds, the best person you can turn to is your school’s career specialist or adviser — it’s their job to give you advice on your futures. Redmond High School (RHS) career specialist Andrea Snyder provided some great insight into things a student can do to help mediate the admissions stress. Snyder says that one of her main points of advice is to “be organized. Put all of your deadlines in your calendar and do not stress yourself by waiting until the last minute to complete what is needed. You will be much more Shayla Collins

confident if your work is not rushed.” Added organization and planning helps students feel more at ease, like everything they have to do is planned out for themselves. Snyder also said that it is important to “work towards a purposeful list. How many schools should I apply to is a common question and that answer will be different for each individual student. My honest answer would be eight or fewer. The ‘safe’ school, the ‘reach’ school and those that land in the middle for that student. Go with quality and not quantity.” Her useful advice doesn’t end there, but to obtain the best advice for each individual it is highly recommended students meet with their career specialists to help choose the most suitable path for each student to take for his or her own success. Ivy League schools are heavily sought after but rarely do students get in. The low-acceptance rate of the Ivy League schools play into their appeal from students and professionals alike.

Former Redmond resident Cameron Sandquist is a great example of how to set goals for one’s self, work through them and achieve them. Sandquist attended RHS and then graduated from Loomis-Chaffee High School in Connecticut in 2009. He then went on to play four years of college football at Yale University, verified by his scout.com profile. While his talent for football did help him with admissions, it wasn’t his athleticism alone that got him where he is today. From Yale, he went on to work at a financial company hedge fund in Connecticut. He is a very solid role model for students to look up to. With hard work and motivation, students can achieve what is perfect for themselves. Whether it is an Ivy League school, a state school with an average acceptance rate or their local community college, admissions may be stressful, but success is near.

What will be the outcome of the Nokomis building scenario? Growing up in Redmond and the Redmond of today are vastly different. The “Third Street” (now 166th Avenue Northeast) I grew up on of residences with yards and gardens has disappeared into high-rise apartments and condominiums snugged right up to the sidewalk. How is the sun to reach the earth? Are zoning laws being upheld? What about carbon footprint? The earth is paved over. Lost is the feeling of neighborhoods and private residences. Next on the chopping block is the historically significant Nokomis building, built in 1933 during the Great Depression by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) for intended use as a library and use of the community. My first job as a student at the Redmond Elementary School was to walk to the library about once a week to check in books. I recall the librarian Mamie Orr and her assistant Mrs. Morrell, and I recall the visits of Mrs. Ottini as she arrived with arms full of books. How she ever got through them all is still impressive to

me. Those were days long gone by. And now the City of Redmond is partnering with a builder to raze the historic Nokomis building, which was built on land donated by Redmond’s Brown family for community use. That purpose is now foregone in favor of a multi-story dense housing facility of dormitory size rooms with 48 tenants per floor sharing kitchen space. Would you want to share your kitchen with 47 other residents? What about sanitation? What about privacy issues? Proposed are 96 units of 200 square feet each, with ground floor to be retail space. How will the 29 parking spaces allocated accommodate such a facility? And what is to become of the street traffic? Who will monitor such a facility and its maintenance indoors and out? What will this invite? Attendance at the Redmond City Council meeting on Dec. 1 to appeal this decision yielded ongoing concerns. Of primary concern is legal ownership of the building. What entity holds the last Statutory Warranty Deed to the building? It is my understanding that the Nokomis Club sold the building to the Redmond Chamber of Commerce for continued community use. The chamber was disbanded and taken over

by OneRedmond, an organization from what I understand is membered by the mayor, council members and the current presumed owner. How can the title company and/or escrow company clear title without benefit of a clean Statutory Warranty Deed? Who is responsible for making that provision? It is apparent that this perception of a conflict of interest would come into question as the mayor and three council members recused themselves from the council hearing on Dec. 1. And how is it that documentation provided by the Nokomis representatives was devalued or not considered as part of the hearing? The council’s scripted responses were recited in rote, appearing totally biased. It is as if a determination was made by the mayor and council prior to any sort of “hearing” to arrive at the decision to deny the appeals to the Hearing Examiner’s decision to prevent demolition of the building. The questions and doubts about the legality and appropriateness of issues surrounding this situation are sorely disappointing. What will be the outcome?

Rita’s Italian Ice plans for future Redmond expansion Rita’s Italian Ice, the world’s largest Italian Ice concept with more than 600 stores, continues its expansion into the fourth quarter, awarding four new development deals for Washington — including Redmond — Idaho, Hawaii and Ventura County and San Jose, Calif., respectively. The company opened 2015 with a renewed focus on growth at home and abroad, and as a result has opened more than 55 stores and awarded eight area development agreements in one year alone. While 2015 brought Rita’s into international markets, the company remains committed to domestic growth from coast to coast and most recently awarded agreements to: Mark Velicer of Velicer Ice Corp, Inc. for the development of the state of Wash-

ington; David Chamberlain for the development of the state of Idaho; Dean Park of Hawaiian Island Treats, LLCfor the development of the state of Hawaii; and Humza Chowdhry and Annie Navqi of Amiracle Ice Company, LLC for the development of Ventura County and San Jose, California. Combined, these agreements project a total of more than 100 new stores by 2030 and the creation of more than 1,500 jobs. “Rita’s is exploding nationwide,” said Mark Velicer, president of Velicer Ice. “My family and I have been avid customers of Rita’s since being introduced to the brand on the East Coast and have recently seen the company take off in a very smart and strategic way. It quickly became clear that there was no question that I had to get in on the action and thus ‘Rita’s in Washington’ was born.” Velicer will be the first to bring Rita’s Italian Ice and its “cool treats” to the Evergreen state.

but little discussed was a proposed park-and-ride in north Sammamish. The facility would provide 200 commuter parking stalls at a cost of up to $12 million. Executive Director of Finance Brian McCartan is crafting the financial plan for ST3, which he said would rely on a combination of sales tax, property tax, car tab tax and a bond issuance. He added that he expected the project to be a “very attractive” investment to the federal government. The amount of a bond issuance would come down to the board’s decisions regarding which projects would make it into the final system plan, the length of time the program would cover, the level of tax imposed on residents and the equity of investment and revenues by county. Requirements in state law for explaining revenue gains and benefits by county could be particularly challenging for a project that traverses King, Pierce and Snohomish. When the board crafted the 1996 Sound Move and 2008 ST2 packages for voters, it approached the requirement by dividing the territories into five subareas. That approach may not work for the latest transit package, McCartan said.

Cost estimates are in on a potential light rail route connecting Issaquah and Totem Lake via Bellevue. The price tag? Up to $3.379 billion. The Sound Transit board held its first workshop last month for ST3, the agency’s planned next step in expanding light rail and rapid bus transit in Seattle, Everett, Tacoma and the Eastside following completion of the system spine under ST2 in 2023. The workshop saw Sound Transit executives brief the board on the projected costs and ridership of a battery of potential projects first introduced in August, “following up and closing the loop on the work (done) earlier this year,” said Ric Ilgenfritz, Sound Transit’s executive director for planning, environment and project development. The agency based their

stops and serve between 12,000 and 15,000 riders per day by 2040. “This would extend from Totem Lake to Bellevue via the Eastside rail corridor and then continue east along (Interstate 90) to Issaquah,” Kitsis said. “A connection to East Link would be provided … at Wilburton Station.” Obstacles facing the proposed line included abutments against residential and historical properties, as well as construction interrupting East Link operations. Another light rail project would see the East Link line extended to downtown Redmond. The project was estimated to cost more than $1.1 billion with up to 5,000 riders a day in 2040. Rapid transit bus corridors connecting Kirkland to Bellevue, and Lynnwood to south King County via Interstate 405, were also proposed. The I-405 corridor proposal carried four alternative plans balancing travel time and geographic coverage. Bellevue Mayor and King County Council memberelect Claudia Balducci said she doubted Sound Transit’s projections for the I-405 bus corridor that showed identical ridership for each option, remarking that the models were “not intuitive.” Additionally proposed

ridership projections on population and employment information from the Puget Sound Regional Council, planning and project development manager Karen Kitsis said. Ilgenfritz noted that the proposals and their projections were strictly conceptual, but would help establish the scope of the transit plan as the board hashes out the specifics of ST3 in order to craft a package for voters. The board must complete work on its system plan by June in order for a package to make it in front of voters in November 2016. The hypothetical projects would total approximately $30 billion in capital costs if they were approved in full, board member and Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler noted after looking over a tally handwritten by Redmond Mayor John Marchione. The proposed Eastside projects would themselves cost nearly $7.6 billion. The Issaquah/Totem Lake light rail corridor is the most expensive of the Eastside projects — and the most desired, according to the results of a survey Sound Transit conducted over the summer. The line — which would be split into two segments connected at Wilburton Station in Bellevue — would have eight

Individually, Samuel He won second place, Daniel He took third place and Yeo placed 31st. “The competition was fierce with East Coast chess powerhouse schools well attended, but our boys performed extremely well. Daniel and Samuel beat top-seeded players, and Noah had an upset victory against a player who was rated 270 points higher. It was an exciting tournament that ended with Redmond High School winning by 0.5 point over New York and Florida schools,” parents Xiang He and Daniel Yeo said.

Luvo teams up with Hopelink to donate 900 meals to Bellevue Food Bank Luvo Inc., a forwardthinking frozen food company that offers chef-created, nutritionistapproved meals made from high-quality ingredients, teamed up with Hopelink, a Redmond-based action agency that serves homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in the greater-Seattle area, to donate 900 frozen meals to the Bellevue Food Bank. Luvo’s CEO Christine

Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), a leading global manufacturer of Genie aerial lifts, opened the doors to its new Redmond facility in December. Already located in Redmond, the manufacturer consolidated buildings to provide more than 100,000 square feet of work space for its 400-plus team members. This move extends the deep history of the Genie team in the Northwest, as the company was started in Kirkland in 1966. The transition took place in series of three moves during December. All contact information will remain the same, except for the new address which will be 6464 185th Ave. N.E. “Bringing our extended team from multiple buildings into a single location has been a long-term goal for me and I look forward to finally seeing us together,” said Matt Fearon, president, Terex AWP. “This is an opportunity to work in closer proximity, improve communications and increase the speed with which we serve our customers.” The new building also serves as a focal point for visiting customers, featuring a pictorial Genie history timeline, which coincides with the brand’s 50th anniversary in 2016.

Day and several team members were on hand at the Bellevue Food Bank on Dec. 15 to pass out free meals and to provide nutrition education, further supporting the company’s mission of making it easier for people to eat nutritious meals that taste great and are made from real ingredients like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats raised without antibiotics. The 900 meals were donated on behalf of Luvo and brand ambassador Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, in efforts to positively impact food insecurity in the Seattle area with this nutritious donation for the greater good. “Luvo is thrilled to have the opportunity to work

with Hopelink and to be able to give back to the Seattle community, which is a special place for Luvo and of course our brand ambassador, and Super Bowl champion, Russell Wilson,” said Day. “Russell joined the Luvo team in the summer of 2015 and has helped us to spark a change in the way consumers eat and think about food, by bringing communities affordable frozen meals that offer full-servings of fruits and veggies, with nourishing whole grains and delicious flavors. Our donations to the Bellevue Food Bank is a great example of these combined efforts.” Known as a leader on and off the field, Wilson has become an advocate for raising awareness among younger generations about the importance of healthy eating and staying active. In working together, Luvo is dedicated to supporting Wilson’s various volunteer initiatives throughout the year, which includes giving back to the Seattle community in various ways. “The support and encouragement I have received from the entire Seattle community since joining the Seahawks in 2012 is something I truly cherish and is just one of the reasons why I’m so passionate about giving back,” said Wilson. “With Luvo as a partner, we’re able to teach community members about the importance of nutrition and how eating healthy can positively impact their lives on and off the field, while also making a difference for those who might not have access to healthy meals, through organizations like Hopelink.” “We were honored to have Christine Day and the rest of the Luvo team here at the Bellevue Food Bank to help personally deliver the meals they are donating to those in need in our community,” said Lauren
