Since 1993, about 2,250 new housing units have been built in downtown Redmond.

These units have come in the form of traditional apartments and condo-miniums, town homes and sustainable living communities and offer people several options when looking for a place to live.

“We want to look at a variety of housing,” said Jeri Rowe-Curtis, chief policy adviser for the City of Redmond.

Since Saturday, Jyoti Ghag has been on a hunger strike to pro-test against government officials, police depart-ments, lawyers and judges in India who she said have been involved in torturing members of her family and violating her human rights.

These acts came after Ghag — whose protest began on the corner of 187th Avenue Northeast and Redmond Way but moved to her Samma-mish home when she started running a fever — requested the Indian government investigate the murder of her father, a former police officer in the Indian state of Maha-rashtra, who died 10 years ago. Ghag continues to fast, drinking only water or lemon water, and said she will move her protest back to the corner when she is feeling stronger.

Ghag said her father, whose estate in India was worth about $3 million to $4 million, was killed by relatives “for his money.” His death, she said, came after he confronted a relative, a police officer in Mumbai, about suspicions of money laundering in 1998. The relative began abusing and torturing Ghag’s father, who was

in his 80s. She said this included tying her father to a bed, starving him and more.

“You cannot imagine the kinds of conditions they made him live in,” she said.

Ghag said her father endured all of this until he died in January 2003.

It took Ghag two years to gather enough evi-dence to be able to bring the issue to the authori-ties in 2005 and when she did, an investigation order was issued by Rao-saheb Ramrao Patil, the home minister of Maha-rashtra.

Ghag said no investi-gation was done as the police commissioner at the time took bribes to

sweep the issue under the rug. However during this time, her two brothers, who still live in India, became victims of physi-cal, mental and emotional abuse during this time.

“They are the only heirs of my dad’s property,” she explained as the reason.

A second investigation order was issued to a new police commissioner in 2008, but Ghag said the same thing happened this

time around as with the first commissioner and no report was filed.

“Instead they arrested my mentally unstable brother,” she said.

This was in September 2008 and Ghag flew to India the next day. At this time, she had been diagnosed with cancer in her ear and was forced to discontinue her treatment while she was abroad. It

Some in our state are having an OMG mo-ment because Sens. Rodney Tom and Tim Shel-don — both DEMOCRATS — have sided with Republicans to take control of the state Senate.

Apparently, Armageddon is just around the corner.

Interesting those same people weren’t howling when Tom, as a Republican state senator from the Eastside, actually changed parties in 2006 and became a Democrat. Apparently outrage is a one-way street.

Tom also is being blasted because people in his 48th Legislative District support Democrats. Yes, they do – but we think voters around here are more likely to vote for the person rather than the party. That’s one reason why our Top Two Primary was supported by a majority of voters. People know that a “D” or “R” after your name on the ballot doesn’t necessarily make you best for the job.

What’s also amazing is that this doom-and-gloom is being raised before the Senate, with Tom in control, even before any bills have passed. Apparently he is guilty until proven in-

nocent. Funny that we don’t hear this same cry when both Democrats and Republicans come together in a bi-partisan manner to pass legisla-tion.

Count us incurable optimists, but we think the state will survive — and perhaps improve — with the Senate having both Democrats and

Republicans in charge. Laws passed after both parties and both houses have had a chance to be heard usually are superior to what we get when one side is running the railroad.

Some post office adviceIt seems to me that a perfect location for a

new post office would have been the former Larry’s/Top Foods building. Lots of parking and access to the back for large postal trucks.

It is convenient to Redmond Town Center and central businesses, which keeps people shopping in town.Pam Harrington, Redmond

Does character fit into the game plan?

What are we, and society, teaching our kids? Does character matter anymore? What is a per-son’s word worth these days? What are our youth learning from so-called ‘role models’?

I have coached summer baseball in the Redmond area for 44 years, and for 27 years have served as the president of the Puget Sound Mickey Mantle League. I’ve seen a number of changes in our youth and their parents and in what I call “commitment.” And just when I think I’ve seen it all, I find I have not:

• We have situations where high school coach-es, being paid by a summer program (and there are a number of these) allow the summer orga-nization to “promote” they are a “feeder team to the high school,” insinuate that anyone who attends school at “their” high school must offer themselves to the summer team if they hope to play high school ball. This technique is used as far down the chain as 12- and 13-year-olds.

1. It’s against Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) regulations.

2. It’s against and enforced by some, but not all, summer baseball leagues.

3. Most importantly, WIAA ignores the regu-lations, the high schools ignore the rule and the head coaches ignore the rule.

All a lack of character.• Parents and players make commitments in

August to a summer program, but later after

tryouts and after they cannot be replaced, they decide the “grass is greener” and want to leave one team and join another — sometimes if the new team will be better, they like that coach better. Too many parents allow their player to disregard the commitment made, and make the switch. Honoring their handshake, their com-mitment, their given word, no longer applies. No life lessons for their child, except it’s OK to back out of a commitment anytime you feel there’s a better deal out there.

• A summer ball coach is offered more money next season; he gets to be a head coach. All won-derful and deserved. However before the current year is done, while in the current team’s uniform and while being paid by the current team, he covertly recruits several top players for his new team next season. All the while telling the head coach and organization he’s in as coach for the next season. And the chance to set an example for the impressionable young players is lost.

How did we get here? How did this get to be “OK” to so many? (Five showed character and stayed — so there is character out there.)

• A college coach cheats in his recruiting or “payment” to athletes, and when caught, sanc-tions are imposed. The coach doesn’t like the fact his high-profile program can’t go to a bowl game, or recruit, so he breaks his contract and resigns, leaving the players he recruited, who committed because of him, and goes to another college or the pros. The new team ignores his lack of character, hires him, usually with a sig-nificant increase in pay that only reinforces the perspective that this behavior pays off.

• A professional player hammers out a two-year deal with his team, but after one year, he’s a “star” or another player received a multiple-year deal. Suddenly, he doesn’t see the contract he so happily signed a year ago as binding. So he “holds out,” the contract doesn’t matter nor does his handshake or his signature. The team caves, reinforcing the belief that a “contract isn’t neces-sarily a contract.” Lack of character all around.

• Hall of Fame vote: Players used drugs, the league ignored that, the players union ignored it and backed the players that are caught. So-called analysts believe the cheater should be in the Hall of Fame. So let’s send the message that it’s OK to cheat? It’s OK to cheat because “we” know others cheated but didn’t get caught? Twenty percent of the voters say cheating is OK — how many children believe cheating is OK?

When the world ends for you, did you have character? Did you give your kids character? Is your handshake worth anything, your word?Les Dow, Redmond, Dow Baseball Club

Road tax plan just causes more problems

I see another bureaucratic nightmare coming with the state looking into levying a road tax by mile. Unless the oil companies see a way to rake in more profits, eliminating the gas tax will lower the price of gas and will increase consumption because gas is cheaper. That’s the reverse of what is needed to reduce consumption.

There are many problems. Do I get credit for my out-of-state miles? Who will check my odometer each year? Is my tax per mile for a 3,000-pound vehicle going to be the same as the little 900 pound SMART car and the 20,000 pound truck? How will they charge for mileage on interstate trucks? Will I get a separate bill to pay? Will it be prorated when I trade vehicles? You get the picture.

The gas tax is fairly applied now based upon the gas you buy. We should solve that problem instead of creating another bureaucracy costing more than it will take in with a new revenue system for the roads.

For electric vehicles, add a fee to the license tags based upon vehicle weight.

Olympia — can you hear us: Instead of creat-ing five problems to solve one, keep it simple.Larry Brickman, Bellevue

Let’s hold off on Armageddon

took three weeks to get her brother out of jail — all the while, she said Indian officials mocked her efforts and worked to defame her and arrested her for allegedly breaking into her father’s home and trying to steal $1,300 worth of property. De-spite the seriousness of the events, Ghag was amused by this last detail as she spent more money to fly to India than she allegedly stole.

She added that the authorities are also calling her a terrorist to further defame her.

“It doesn’t matter (to them),” she said about how all of this is ruining her life.

Ghag’s hunger strike will end once her seven requests are met.

Her requests are: having her name cleared from the U.S. Depart-ment of Homeland Security and Embassy of India in Washington, D.C.; having Mohit Shah, the chief justice of Maharashtra, release a letter of apology addressed to Ghag from the External Affairs Minis-try, which was submitted to Shah’s court on Nov. 7, 2011; bringing Ghag’s father’s murderers and her family’s abusers to justice; rescuing her brothers from their abusers in an expedited manner and get-ting them urgent psychiatric help; taking disciplinary action against Shah for violating Ghag’s human

and constitutional rights in his court on Nov. 7 and Dec. 7, 2011; ordering involved guilty officials of the Maharashtra Home Ministry, Maharashtra Police Department and judiciary system to compensate Ghag and her brothers from their personal bank accounts for violat-ing their human and constitutional rights for more than a decade and considering creating laws or an addendum to protect abused hus-bands’ human rights and constitu-tional rights.

In April and May 2011, Ghag went on another hunger strike in India for similar reasons and went 21 days when her requests were met.

Redmond resident Peggy White will be one of six contestants in Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Re-Ener-gized by Design competi-tion.

PSE customers will compete weekly in a series of energy-efficiency room makeover challenges. Priz-es include light emitting diode (LED) and compact fluorescent light (CFL) lighting from GE, and a full laundry and kitchen ap-pliance suite by Frigidaire. The last contestant standing will win $5,000.

“The stakes are high so we know the competi-tion will be intense,” said Dennis Rominger, energy efficiency expert at PSE. “These six contestants are ready to compete head to head. Sweat will be shed, winners will be crowned and most importantly, we will see creative ways to bring great design and en-ergy efficiency together.”

White — who shares her home with her son, a professional architect and daughter-in-law, an

industrial designer — and her fellow contestants rose to the top during a selec-tion process that included submitting videos or photo entries, a public vote to select 10 finalists and final interviews. During the process, each entrant was evaluated on a variety of factors including original-ity and creativity of their entry, their understanding and enthusiasm for design

and energy efficiency and the energy savings poten-tial of their home.

White grew up in Kent and moved to Redmond with her husband in 1974. She has lived in the same house ever since. Recently White’s son, daughter-in-law and seven-month-old grandchild moved in with her.

“I love watching HGTV, I find it fascinating,” White

said. “As a family we have lots of ideas, but we’ll see if we can all mesh our ideas and come to agreement.”

Contestants will partici-pate in five room makeover projects. After each make-over challenge, local society and events photographer Duell Fisher, 425 and South Sound Magazine editor Lisa Patterson and radio personality Marty Riemer will review and score each contestant’s effort. The lowest-scoring contestant in each round will be eliminated.

Online “webisodes” will begin airing weekly in March, at ReEnergized-byDesign.com.

Until then customers can follow Re-Energize on Fa-cebook at Facebook.com/Re-Energize for energy efficient design tips and special product promo-tions.

All contestants will re-ceive free, energy-efficient LED and CFL lighting from GE and a small stipend to spend on each room’s makeover.

With the new grade reconfiguration that brings ninth graders into the high schools, the Lake Washing-ton School District (LWSD) has developed a new pro-cess for awarding available variances in schools with limited space availability.

Historically, students have been able to choose which high school they at-tend. The district provided this opportunity through a high school open enroll-ment policy that accepted all high school in-district

variances, which allow students to attend a school other than their neighbor-hood school. However, the addition of ninth grade students to high schools increased the number of students in those schools. That reduced the space available for students on variances.

With the new variance process, LWSD will review each high school’s capacity each year and the projected enrollment without addi-tional variances to deter-

mine how many in-district variances the school can accommodate. If more applications are submitted than space available, the new process, developed with input from a parent survey, will be followed.

The new process incorpo-rates that parent feedback, giving priority for variances first to students who will have a sibling concurrently enrolled at the school,

followed by preference to students attending a split feeder who wish to attend the other high school into which their middle school feeds.

A December survey was administered to all middle school families for this input. This parent audience represents the students who will make high school decisions this spring and over the next few years.

The survey asked parents to rank order a list of prefer-ences that could guide the selection of high school variance requests. Approxi-mately 1,200 middle school parents responded to the survey. Parents selected sib-ling preference as their first choice, followed by the split feeder preference as the sec-ond choice (split feeders are schools that send students on to more than one school, such as Evergreen Middle School, whose students go on to both Redmond and

Eastlake high schools). The remaining choices received substantially less support.

In-district variances allow students to attend a school other than their neighborhood school.

During the open enroll-ment period (Feb. 1-28), parents and students may go to their neighborhood high school to fill out and submit an in-district vari-ance request form specify-ing the high school of their choice.

With Lunar New Year just around the corner, the Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) at 16510 N.E. 79th St. in Red-mond will open its doors this weekend to the com-munity to celebrate the Year of the Snake.

From 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the history of Lunar New Year and some of the traditions that come with it. There will be Chinese callig-raphy and painting, a red envelope exchange and a special lion dance at 6:30 p.m. followed by a question-and-answer session with the dancers.

“They definitely teach, as well as entertain,” said Brynn Ehni.

As youth chair for the Redmond Youth Partner-ship Advisory Commit-tee (RYPAC), Ehni was one of about 20 teens who have been working to plan and organize the annual event, which is free and open to all ages. Members of Redmond High School’s Asian Student Association are also supporting the event through volunteers and promotion.

In addition to learn-ing from the lion dance troupe, Ehni, a Redmond resident and Lake Wash-ington High School se-

nior, said people will be learning a bit about the history and origins of the remaining activities. She said the teen organizers will have researched the activities they are run-ning, which will include origami paper folding, as well as spring roll and fortune cookie making,

and be able to answer any questions people may have.

This is Ehni’s sec-ond year working as an organizer for the Lunar New Year event. She said through her experi-ences, she has learned a lot more about the holiday, including which

activities they hold are actual Lunar New Year traditions — the lion dance and red envelope exchange — and which aren’t — the origami. She said with the latter, they continue to host the activities because they are popular but clarify that they have nothing to

do with the holiday.“The teens have fun

because they not only get to participate and plan but they also learn what they teach,” said City of Redmond teen and 50-plus programs adminis-trator Ken Wong about the organizers.

The OFH holds a num-

ber of cultural events throughout the year and Ehni said it is important to do so because they live in such a diverse part of the world and it is important to understand each others’ cultural dif-ferences and similarities. She also said if people know more about each other, it can only help them understand and ac-cept each other.

“Starting younger always helps,” she added about holding such events and activities for teens and kids.

Other cultural events at the OFH have in-cluded celebrations for Cinco de Mayo, win-ter holidays, Chinese Harvest Festival, Day of the Dead, Diwali, St. Patrick’s Day and Mardi Gras.

“We try and infuse cultural celebrations as much as we can,” Wong said about the city’s teen programming.

He said these cul-tural events for teens are important because they honor those who cel-ebrate them and provide a space in which they can share their traditions with others.

“We try and make them all inclusive be-cause eventually younger kids will be teens and adults share their experi-ences that they remem-ber as a teen,” Wong said.

DigiPen to offer ceramics classes

DigiPen Institute of Technology will begin offering ceramics

classes to the general public in its new ceramics studio beginning

this month.Classes will be offered in both

wheel throwing and hand building, which teach the

fundamentals of pottery making and ceramic sculpture creation.

Participants will craft their own ceramic creations under the supervision of instructor Ken Turner, who has had his

work exhibited in numerous museums and galleries. Turner also has taught and lectured in

universities and colleges locally and internationally.

By having both groups begin at the same time, Peterson said students are also able to see all of their options at once and pick the path they want.

In addition, Kolk said now that sixth grade is in the middle school, students are receiving even more consistent instruction at a crucial age as band and or-chestra are every day and part of the school day. Before the grade reconfiguration, many of the music classes took place outside the regular school day and were not held on a daily basis.

Another benefit of having band begin at fourth grade has been just the opportunity for students to begin their instruments earlier. Peterson said when they visit the elementary schools to recruit and explain the music pro-grams, younger students

often ask the instructors if and when they can start.

“The excitement has been there,” he said.

Peterson said they have been fortunate that LWSD officials and administration have supported this shift in the program as he does not believe students can be whole and healthy without the arts.

His fellow music in-structors agreed.

Kolk said students gain confidence through performing and are required to own their abilities as they cannot fake whether or not they practiced.

“You can’t lie about it,” he said.

Ferguson added that music classes also teach students how to ac-cept others just as they are and support each other in playing because everyone is in the same boat.

“That’s the deal,” she said.

If there are enough spaces to accommodate all requests for a specific high school, all requests will be granted.

If there are not enough spaces to accommodate all requests, variances will be awarded first to students with concurrently enrolled siblings. If there are more requests from students with concur-rently enrolled siblings than space available, the school will hold a lottery among those applicants.

For Redmond and Eastlake high schools only: The school will then give next priority to students from Evergreen Middle School, currently the only split feeder. If there

are more such requests than space available, the school will hold a lottery among those applicants.

If there is still space available for in-district variances after these two preferences, a lottery will determine acceptance of any remaining applicants.

For variance requests that are not accepted following a lottery, those students will be placed on a wait list and notified should space become available. Since high school registration occurs in Febru-ary, students will register first at their home/neighborhood school. If their variance request is accepted, they will reregister with the school accepting their variance.

Avenue Northeast and the 96 mini-suites Vision 5 development near Northeast 85th Street and 163rd Avenue Northeast.

Natural and Built Environments is the company behind the Vision 5 development, a living community focused on the arts, and owner and CEO Robert Pantley said working

with the City of Redmond has been a good experience for him. He said he has high development standards and helps facilitate the process for them to meet those standards more efficiently.

Tudor Manor at 16552 N.E. 84th Ct. in downtown is another one of Pantley’s developments.

He said one of the appeals of downtown Redmond is the neigh-

borhood’s walkability. Downtown Redmond has a walking score of 98 out of 100 and there are many services in the area and Pantley wanted to be part of it.

Lee said Pantley is not the only one to see the neighborhood’s ap-peal.

“This place is completely walk-able,” he said. “That’s why it’s so desirable.”

King County has selected nationally recognized AEG Live to manage the talent booking and operations of the Marymoor Park Concert Series in Redmond beginning with the 2013 season.

“Forming this partner-ship with one of the largest concert promoters in the world will bring some of the best talent in the world

to local audiences, while generating revenue that helps support public access to King County Parks,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine.

“I am excited to partner with King County and continue the Marymoor Park Concert Series at this incredible venue,” said Alex Kochan, vice president of AEG Live Pacific Northwest

regional office. “The addi-tion of the Marymoor Park Concert Series to our roster is a natural fit because we already produce over 400 shows in the region annu-ally.”

AEG Live will bring between 12 and 15 events to Marymoor Park each year from June through September. The first shows and dates are expected to be announced in spring.

The park’s outdoor venue seats 5,000 for concerts.

I have one e-reader and two kids, which can be a problem. We all want to read, but our books are sometimes trapped on one device.

And, while we have an amazing amount of hard copy books, there is something about the e-reader that makes the kids come running when they see it. My daughter loves the read aloud feature on some e-books and my son likes the combination of stories and gadgets. I sus-pect he’s also playing Angry

Birds between chapters, but I share it anyway. Sometimes, when the bickering gets to be too much, I can send them to the databases.

King County Library System

has a great collection of anytime reading databases for kids. To find them, visit www.kcls.org/databases and click on the subject heading marked “kids” then log on with your KCLS card num-ber and PIN. BookFlix and Tumblebooks are household favorites because they feature

children’s books and an accompanying video. These are also a sure hit for a quick activity when I’m trying to get dinner on the table.

When they are logged in to the database, I don’t have to worry about advertising or stumbling upon inappropri-ate content. Tumblebooks lets you search separately for videos, books, and even puz-zles and games. The books have a read aloud feature for emerging or struggling readers which can be turned on or off. Content can be searched by title or subject, or by reading level.

Each book also contains

a lesson plan, a quiz and the option to create a book re-port or certificate of comple-tion. The videos are short, often under five minutes, and cover nonfiction topics such as geography, animals and science. The database also has a feature that allows you to create a playlist so videos or books can run one after the other.

Bookflix has a different approach. Fiction storybook videos are paired with a

nonfiction book and are arranged by subjects such as alphabet, people and places or adventures.

One example is a Curi-ous George storybook video and a nonfiction book about monkeys. You may recognize the Weston Woods videos from Reading Rainbow, which are always fun to revisit. In the search box, you can search by grade level, language, and even running time of the video storybook.

As winter approaches and those long nights set in, it’s great to curl up with a good book. We sit in front of the fireplace with our e-readers and laptops immersed in sto-ries. I’m sure it’s not quite the picture that Norman Rock-well would have painted, but we are still enjoying good books. That’s when every-body wins.

Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.

The nutritional choices you make for your children are crucial, setting the stage for good health and good habits for years to come. So if you’ve heard about the benefits of organic food, you may be wondering if it’s worth the extra expense, especially if you’re on a budget.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which recently weighed in on the subject of organic food for the first time, what’s most important is that children eat a variety of fruits, vegetables,

lean meats, whole grains and low-fat or fat-free dairy products, whether those are conventionally or organically grown.

Organic foods do have lower levels of pesticides and drug-resistant bacteria, says Dr. Thomas K. McInerny, president of the AAP.

“That may be important for kids because young children are more vulnerable to chemi-cals, but we simply don’t have the scientific evidence to know if the difference will affect a person’s health over a lifetime,” says McInerny.

Both organic and conven-

tionally grown foods have the same vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, proteins, lipids and other nutrients that are important for children’s health.

“If you’re on a budget, don’t buy the more expensive organic option if it’s going to reduce your family’s overall intake of healthy foods like fresh produce,” advises McIn-erny. “It’s better for kids to eat five servings of conventionally grown produce a day than for them to eat one serving of organic vegetables.”

Families can also be selec-tive in choosing particular organic foods to stretch their budget. The Environmental Working Group has created a

Shopper’s Guide that rates the level of pesticides in produce. Their guide indicates that conventionally grown onions, sweet corn and pineapples have relatively low pesticide rates, making them safer to purchase. If you can budget a few extra dollars to spend on groceries, opt for organic apples and celery, which are among the most pesticide-laden crops.

According to the AAP, or-ganic milk is not healthier for kids than conventional milk, but parents should make sure all milk they purchase is pasteurized.

You can find nutrition tips for kids at www.healthychil-dren.org.

Is it important to feed kids organic food?

...TODAY’S pArenTbook, blanket or other comfort item. For older children, be honest — shots can pinch or sting, but not for long. Remind them that shots help keep them healthy.

Ask your child’s doctor any questions you have about vac-cines. You may even want to ask about cooling or numbing the area of your child’s arm or leg before the shots.

Distract your child with a toy, a story, a song or some-thing interesting in the room. Make eye contact with your child and smile, talk softly or sing. Hold your child tightly on your lap if you can. Take deep breaths with an older child to help “blow out” the pain.

After the shot, hug, cuddle and praise your child. For babies, swaddling, breastfeed-ing or a bottle may offer quick relief. Comfort and reassure older children if they cry.

“Read the Vaccine Infor-mation Sheets from your doctor so you know what to expect after the shots,” said Dr. Melinda Wharton, Deputy

Director, National Center for Immunization and Respira-tory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion. “Some children have pain or swelling where a shot was given, a rash or a fever. These reactions are usually mild and resolve on their own without needing treatment.”

If you notice redness, sore-ness or swelling from the shot, place a clean, cool washcloth on the area. If your child runs a fever, try a cool sponge bath. You can also use a non-aspirin pain reliever if your doctor says it’s OK. Some children eat less, sleep more or act fussy for a day after they get shots. Make sure your child gets plenty to drink. If you’re worried about anything, call your doctor.

“Shots can be stressful,” said Dr. Wharton. “But you can ease your child’s discomfort. And keeping your child up to date on vaccines is the best way to protect against vaccine-preventable diseases.”

Luke Blankenbeckler says that shooting the ball is paramount to Bear Creek’s basketball success.

Defense, teamwork, selflessness and unity have been crucial components to the Grizzlies’ 7-0 start in their 2B Sea Tac League campaign, but putting the ball up to the hoop from a distance is at the top of the list.

Blankenbeckler certainly isn’t shy to shoot 3-point-ers, either. The 6-foot junior guard holds the Bear Creek record with 184 so far, including 76 in his fresh-man year and 43 so far this season.

“Everyone shoots on our team,” said Collin Feight, a 6-3 junior guard who’s averaging a team-high 12.3 points a game this season. His game high is 24 in a 77-41 victory over Auburn Adventist on Jan. 22. Blan-kenbeckler is averaging 11.1 points a game and scored 21 points in a 57-30 victory over Seattle Lutheran on Jan. 8.

“We have a lot of depth, we play around nine guys,” Feight added. “We focus a lot on defense and just try to score as much as we can.”

Eighth-year Grizzly coach Scott Moe said that the scoring should increase when junior Jesse Leuen-berger returns after sitting out a host of games with a foot injury.

Under Moe’s tutelage, Bear Creek has won the league championship the

last six years, the tri-district title four out of the last five years and has placed third at state once and fifth at state twice.

“We’ve had a really nice run,” Moe said, noting that this year’s team is an intense group. “I’ve had to finish practice before our allotted time was done almost every day for the last month. The kids are just working so hard in practice. It’s a good group: they’re fun, they’re crazy.”

And they’re ready to make up for last year’s 47-46 season-ending loss

to Wahkiakum in the one-game regionals round of the 2B state tournament.

“We learned that you’ve got to bring it every game and all our guys didn’t bring it that game. We didn’t play that well,” Blankenbeckler said. “We’ve just been mak-ing sure we hard every day, so we can get better and get back there (to state).”

Blankenbeckler, who has grown from 5-8 as a freshman to 6 feet now, said that his goal is to share the ball with his teammates en route to Bear Creek victories.

Moe feels that Blan-kenbeckler is both a solid shooter and leader.

“He’s a great competi-tor — he absolutely hates to lose. We’ve had some games where it got pretty tight this year and he just hits big shot after big shot,” Moe said.

As for Feight, the coach said that the lefty is shoot-ing well from his guard position, but is also effec-tive at finishing his shots on the inside. Moe added that about two thirds of the team’s set plays are designed for Feight, who has also

made an impact on defense.Moe is also a big contrib-

utor to the team’s success, according to Feight and Blankenbeckler. The coach is just as intense as his play-ers, the duo notes.

“He makes it seem more than a high school program, kind of like a college program. He makes everyone very accountable — showing up on time and working hard every day,” Blankenbeckler said.

Added Feight: “He pro-vides great leadership. He gives us motivation to work hard.”

Bothell earned two vic-tories over Redmond last weekend: 88-48 in boys’ action on Jan. 25 and 47-44 in the girls’ contest on Jan. 26.

Redmond’s Kyle Sawtell had 17 points on Friday, while Kelsey Dunn (15),

Lauren Bogard (12) and Ali Jorgensen (11) led the Mustangs on Saturday.

In boys’ action on Tuesday, Ballard de-feated Redmond (1-12 in

league), 79-56; Sawtell had 20 points.

On Wednesday, Ballard defeated Redmond’s girls, 61-55, to drop the Mus-tangs to 2-11 in league.

Dunn had 22 points and Bogard had 20 points for Redmond.

The boys will host East-lake at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
