Just one week a� er the $755 million Lake Wash-ington School District (LWSD) bond o� cially failed, the school board of directors voted to put a smaller bond on the April ballot.

Working on a March 7 deadline for the April 22 special election, the board met on Monday to discuss the next steps for the cur-

rent and future overcrowd-ing issue that schools in Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish face.

“Current enroll-ment is nearing our total capac-ity,” said district spokeswoman Kathryn Reith, adding that enroll-ment is around 26,000 students. “We’re expecting 4,000 more students in the next eight years.”

A� er a lengthy discus-sion, the board unanimous-ly passed Resolution 2178,

which calls for a $404 million bond measure.

If passed by voters, residents with the district average house value of $495,000 would pay ap-

proximately $124 a year in property taxes over the next 20 years.

“We heard concerns

from the community about the overall size of the Feb-ruary bond measure,” said Jackie Pendergrass, presi-dent of the LWSD board of directors. “We are facing growth and overcrowding in our schools today. � ese projects are the ones that are needed now to reduce current overcrowding and keep up with the rapid growth in our enrollment.”

� e $404 million bond would fund the con-struction of three new

elementary schools, two in Redmond and one in Kirkland; a new middle school; a new westside STEM-focused (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) school on the Juanita High School (JHS) campus; the rebuild of JHS; and an addition to Lake Washington High School. � e bond would also leave some funds for future capital projects.

“� e district needs to act immediately to address our

urgent and critical need for additional classroom space,” said Superinten-dent Dr. Traci Pierce. “� e board’s plan allows the dis-trict to � rst address the im-mediate need for additional space, and then to engage the community around the longer term need to continue to modernize our aging school facilities.”

Four Redmond High School (RHS) students and one gradu-ate didn’t want to miss out on the historic occasion in Olympia on Feb. 26.

At 2 p.m. in the state’s capitol building, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the Washington Dream Act into law. Students like RHS senior Alexis (last name withheld for privacy reasons), who arrived in the United States undocumented 10 years ago, are one step closer to becoming eligible for college � nancial aid.

“I really wanted to go because I really wanted to see that it was � nally true,” said Alexis, 17, who traveled to Olympia as part of OneAmerica’s contingent. � e Se-attle nonpro� t organization’s mes-sage is advancing “the fundamental principles of democracy and justice by building power within immi-grant communities.”

Senate Bill 6523 passed the Washington State House of Repre-sentatives on Feb. 18 with a 75-22 bipartisan vote. � e bill — which is the � rst to pass both chambers this legislative session — requires students to have lived in the state

for at least three years and to have received a high school diploma in Washington state before receiv-ing aid. California, New Mexico and Texas have passed similar bills

to bene� t students who arrived undocumented in the United States as children.

“I’m a ‘Dreamer’ and it a� ects me because it’s my last year here (at

RHS), so I was planning to go to college right away,” Alexis said. “So now with the Dream Act passed, I have an opportunity to go to college

Mid-term 45th and 48th legislative district Democratic caucuses will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Redmond Middle School cafeteria (1055 166th Ave. N.E.) and the Rose Hill El-ementary School cafeteria (8110 128th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland), respectively.

Keynote speakers in Redmond will include state Senate candidate Matt Isenhower, Congres-sional candidate Jason Ritchie and other Demo-cratic Party leaders.

Keynote speakers in Kirkland will include Rep. Ross Hunter and Senate candidate Joan McBride.

Attendees will elect delegates and alternates to represent the districts at the Washington State Democratic Convention on June 21 in Spokane.

Any registered voter in the districts or 17-year-old who will be eligible to reg-ister to vote in the Novem-ber 2014 general election may vote at the caucus.

and it would be way easier than without it. I have a lot of stress that’s going down.”

Inslee added in a press release: “The Dream Act represents a new future for many aspiring Wash-ington students. While we’ve opened the doors of our colleges and universi-ties to students from all walks of life, too many still face an insurmount-able financial barrier. This bill ensures that the young men and women we’ve invested in at our high schools and who aspire to become produc-tive American citizens will now have fair access to the financial support they need to turn their dreams into reality.”

Other “Dreamers” from Federal Way, Mount Ver-non and Vancouver were also on hand for the sign-ing, which also featured a mariachi band and many happy faces, said RHS junior Lety, who isn’t an illegal immigrant but attended the event to support Alexis. Rounding out the Redmond group were Jenni Martinez, Carlos Martinez and Martin (who along with Lety, also prefer that their last names be withheld for privacy reasons).

“There were a lot of emotions,” Lety said. “I feel like it’s a really im-portant act, and I feel like it would be really helpful to friends around me.”

It was Lety’s first time attending an event in Olympia, and she credits Jenni Martinez for getting her involved in OneAmerica. Mar-tinez attends copious state workshops and last November traveled to Washington, D.C. to help

further the Fair Immigra-tion Reform Movement (FIRM).

ALEXIS’ STORYAlexis arrived in Red-

mond from Guerrero, Mexico in 2004 with his older sister to live with their mother, who was staying here undocu-mented for two years. His dad wasn’t and still isn’t with the family.

Alexis began learning English as a third-grader at Redmond Elemen-tary School, moved on to Redmond Junior High and is a few months away from becoming an RHS graduate.

Alexis’ dreams of going to college were seemingly dashed when his sister and cousins graduated from high school but were unable to afford to study at the next aca-demic level.

“I started to give up hope,” said Alexis, noting that it was tough to watch his sister feel disappoint-ment. “She gave up hope and just started working.”

Now that the Dream Act has passed, Alexis is looking at Washington State University as his next possible school and has studying business and economics on his docket. He enjoys creating des-serts in the kitchen — es-pecially chocolate mousse and cakes — and aspires to be a professional chef someday and open a restaurant.

His Dream Act experi-ence has pushed him to-ward achieving his goals.

“It was really amazing going down to Olympia,” said Alexis, who also credits Jenni Martinez for getting him involved in supporting the Dream Act through OneAm-erica. “It’s been really fun

and I’ve learned so much — I’ve been putting my head into the project and just going at it.”

REACTIONSRep. Zach Hudgins, D-

Renton, the Dream Act’s chief House sponsor, said that when people work together, then they dream together and can do great things for the state.

Rep. Mark Hargrove, R-Covington, said the bill was flawed and could hurt the middle class.

He said state taxpayers now are responsible for paying for the education of 6.6 million Washing-tonians; with the new bill, they’re responsible for the kids of 7 billion people in the world, he added.

Rich Stolz, executive director of OneAmerica, weighed in: “The large bipartisan majorities that supported the Dream Act in our House and Senate is in striking contrast to what we have seen in Congress lately. Washing-ton legislature’s action is a testament to the power of organizing and the growing influence of the immigrant vote in Wash-ington state.

“We hope that Re-publican leadership still struggling to bring comprehensive immigra-tion reform up for a vote in Congress hears this message,” he added.

Also known as the Real Hope Act, the Dream Act appropriates $5 million from the general fund to pay for the financial-aid disbursements under the state need-grant pro-gram.

At a Swedish spine seminar, you’ll hear straight from an expert surgeon all about non-surgical solutions to back problems, as well as the latest surgical techniques. You’ll also learn about the advantages of being cared for by one of the largest spine programs in the state.

So, if you’d like to get started on a healthier, pain-free life, go online or call to reserve your spot. Then spend one evening that can make all the rest of your evenings a lot more comfortable.

school, the addition to Eastlake High School in Sammamish and the modernization of five schools: Kamiakin Middle School and Peter Kirk Elemen-tary in Kirkland, Evergreen Middle School and Rockwell Elementary in Redmond, and Mead Elementary in Sam-mamish.

Those improvements would have been funded, had the pre-vious February bond passed.

“I think they had a difficult decision and I think they looked at the alternatives and said this is an important and critical enough issue that they need to take action,” said Jeanne Large, a Kirkland resident who attended the meeting. “They made the appropriate changes to back off on those things, which are not immediate and can be taken care of four years from now.”

A second bond with an undetermined amount will likely go before voters in 2018 to complete the third phase the original bond was planned for.

Mark Stuart and others on the board grappled with the decision to put the bond on the November ballot versus the April ballot because they feared that might not allow enough time to do an appropriate campaign.

Ultimately, the fear of sup-porters losing momentum and the $21 million hit for delaying the construction projects prompted the board to stick with the schedule and try to get a bond passed as soon as possible.

“I really believe this is a crisis-mode decision,” Pendergrass said. “ … One of the things I’m worried about in delaying (the bond on the ballot) is that it will water down the message … We really need this to happen so we know where we’re putting kids.”

Redmond resident Jane Wither told the board she’s experienced the problems the district is facing.

Wither’s oldest daughter attends Stella Schola Middle School and her youngest is finishing up fifth grade at Rockwell Elementary.

“As a Rockwell family, we

witnessed firsthand the impact of overcrowding,” Wither said, who is Rockwell PTSA member. “We also understand what positive impact school modernization can have on our students and community at large, especially with the Stella Schola and Rose Hill Middle School modernization project.”

Although the board voted to exclude the modernization measures in this bond, Wither advised the district to reframe the conversation on why the bond is so needed.

If the bond doesn’t pass, the district would be forced to reduce or eliminate all-day kindergarten, double shift kin-dergarten through 12th grade, which means the school would operate in two shifts so more students can be taught in less space. They would have to add portables “wherever possible,” which cost $300,000 each, they would have to change delivery models for district programs, re-boundary and/or change to a school year calendar.

During the meeting, district staff presented an analysis of why voters didn’t pass the bond in a 60 percent supermajority vote. The final vote was 57.79 percent in favor of the $755 million bond.

After analyzing voter data, officials discovered that 5.68 percent of Lake Washington School District voters didn’t vote “yes” or “no” on the bond even though they voted on the other measures.

“The assumption is people failed to turn the ballot over,” Deputy Superintendent Janene Fogard said, noting that other school district measures on the back of the King County ballot also had fewer votes.

But in a districtwide survey of 400 residents, district offi-cials learned that 23 percent of people who voted against the bond said it was because it was simply too expensive. Another 16 percent said the reason they voted against it was because it was a tax burden.

Kirkland resident Dave Griffin said the district should look at the economic impact in that the district would be tak-ing “hundreds of dollars out of

people’s pockets for schools.”“I think we need to spend

those dollars very, very careful-ly and make sure the structures are used fully and we get really good use out of them,” Griffin said. “I’ve talked to many neighbors who do not plan on tearing down their houses when they hit 40-41 years old but they look at maintaining and getting full value and use out of those structures for as long as they feasibly can.”

Pendergrass responded that schools aren’t in the same realm of public facilities, which have different permitting requirements, among many other factors.

“We asked for a lot,” said school board director Chris-topher Carlson at the meeting. “Why did we ask for a lot? Be-cause we need a lot … We are not saying we asked for things that we don’t need, it’s just the things that we need in the next four years cost a lot less than the sticker shock of three-quar-ters of a billion dollars.”

Matt Loschen, who lives on Union Hill, just outside of the City of Redmond but within the LWSD, sent the Reporter an email regarding his feelings on the bond measure. His daughter is a senior at Red-mond High School and won’t benefit from the bond, but his neighbor’s children will reap the rewards if the bond passes.

“We parents are used to sacrificing for kids. Sure, I wanted the bond to pass in February so we could get busy with something else … I’d love the giant pile of campaign signs in my yard to just disappear. But the needs of our children aren’t going to disappear until we pass the bond,” wrote the retired former Microsoft employee.

“Anyone who has volun-teered in public schools knows that LWSD is an incredibly efficient steward of the public’s tax dollars … they put the pri-vate sector to shame. The size of the bond is just a reflection of the size of the challenge we’re throwing at our school system. Growth is hard. That’s why we all need to pitch in to ensure a bright future for our kids and our community,” Loschen added.

The King County Metro funding gap and proposed service cuts are of great concern to the entire region and especially to the students, faculty and staff of area colleges. As the presidents of community and tech-nical colleges, we have followed the trans-portation funding issues with growing concern. We fear the proposed service cuts to King County Metro Transit will have negative effects on our society and economy.

Our colleges support a fragile population that is deeply reliant on Metro Transit’s service in order to learn English, develop basic skills, train for new jobs and earn a degree. The proposed cuts are different for each school, but the impact on students is the same:

The elimination of one route and the cut back in service for another route serving Cascadia Community College could make the difference between being able to attend college or not for a percentage of students.

The elimination of night service from the only route serving Lake Washington Institute of Technology means that some students will have no way of getting to

campus or home. Students attend our colleges from more

than 200 different regional zip codes. Already many students are forced to make two or three transfers to reach campus; some are juggling jobs, child care and other family responsibilities. But the im-plications of the proposed service cuts go beyond inconvenience. They represent a threat to social equity by restricting a re-source needed by our most disadvantaged students to improve their lives.

Community and technical colleges are being championed as a critical resource to the economic vitality of our region and

state by helping underserved populations develop the skills needed to gain employ-ment and contribute to our economy rather than depend on social services.

We encourage Metro Transit to revisit its “service guidelines” to include social equity by placing a priority on service to colleges and universities.

Far-right Republican caucus and the story of a bus ride

Recently, I rode a bus to Olympia with Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest on Lobby Day to meet with Sen. Rodney Tom.

Let me be clear: I am not an activ-ist. I am not even a volunteer with Planned Parenthood or NARAL Pro-Choice America. I am, however, very concerned about women’s health care, and I felt I could make a di� erence talking to my senator face to face.

I’m concerned because if the Repro-ductive Parity Act does not pass, there may be more than the two current insurance plans that do not cover abor-tion in Washington. What happens if a woman purchases one of those plans and is raped? Will she be expected to pay for the rape out of pocket, or as is done in Michigan, purchase the un-thinkable “rape rider” on her insurance plan ahead of time — just in case?

Please safeguard us from insurance companies deciding to drop abortion coverage. � ey might do this because they feel pressure from the far right. If insurance companies in Washing-ton drop abortion coverage, they are making abortion less accessible to the

women in this state.Unfortunately, I never got a chance

to express my concern to Sen. Tom because he abruptly canceled the pre-scheduled meeting. Even his sta� would not talk to me or the eight other constituents.

It is time Sen. Tom stops putting his far-right Republican caucus before the interest of his constituents. Women’s health matters. Please pass the Repro-ductive Parity Act.Katie Dreyfuss, Redmond

Redmond wine business needs help

Corporate America and high-paid lobbyists put a lot of pressure on our elected representatives. But if there’s one time when small, family owned business owners need our representa-tives to work for us, this is it.

We own World of Wines, a wine shop in Redmond. Since the Costco initiative two years ago, corporate America has moved into Washington and taken over the liquor industry. Prices have gone up, public safety has gone down and small, family owned businesses like ours have gone out of business.

Although two other wine/liquor stores in Redmond have closed in the

last year, we haven’t closed yet. House Bill ESSB 5731 would allow us to sell a limited amount of hard liquor made by other small businesses (mainly Wash-ington cra� distillers). If 5731 doesn’t pass this session, we’ll end up closing our doors, as well, and the loss of small bottle shops will have long-term rami� cations to the small wineries in Washington state.

Our family’s livelihood is at stake. We hope that our representatives re-member that they’re supposed to work for small businesses, too!Allen and Janet Bechtel andKathy Brunker, World of Wines owners

Gov. Inslee wrong on death penalty

So is this how Gov. Jay Inslee “en-ergizes” his base — by suspending the death penalty? Inslee “walked through the steps of an execution.” So what? And he met with the people on death row. Again, so what?

All he did was fortify a pre-con-ceived bias against the death penalty. Oh yeah, he “met with the victims families.” Likely just long enough to say that he met with the victims families.

Inslee claims to be worried about the cost of prosecuting the death penalty.

I recall candidate Inslee, who cost the state $1 million to have a special election a few weeks early. I don’t re-member his concern then. How many prosecutions would $1,000,000 fund?

� ese nine people on death row are the worst of the worst. � eir heinous crimes deserve the death penalty several times over. And Inslee tries to claim the cloak of humanitarianism. Unfortunately it drips blood red from all the innocent victims.Denny Andrews, Bellevue

Death penalty part 2From the Web:Oregon and Colorado have also

placed moratoriums on executions and it hasn’t seemed to impact (either positively or negatively) the elections. I don’t know how this will impact Inslee’s re-election bid in 2016, but I think it will probably not, which will also make it less likely to impact future elections. I do like Inslee’s statement where he says about the convicted pris-oners on death row: “I don’t question the guilt or the gravity of their crimes. � ey get no mercy from me. But I do not believe their horri� c o� enses override the problems that exist in our capital-punishment system.”Cathy Wittel

Self-published author and Redmond resident Bryan Esparza illustrates the highs and lows of youth life from a teenager’s perspective in his debut

novel “Attitude.”The book takes its read-

ers on a journey alongside protagonist Jason Espinoza in the halls of his high school.

Always dressed in black and grey, Esparza, a Red-mond High School (RHS)

senior, sports a worn out, furring grey beanie.

“It’s something I hold onto, and I won’t let any-one force me to be some-one else or dress in some other way,” said Esparza, pointing to his prized pos-session.

Being only 17, Esparza said that many people had doubted his ability to write, let alone publish a book of his own.

“People usually shrug it off and believe (the book) wouldn’t go through publication. So they are OK with me writing about them,” said Esparza. “But once I announced that it’s

published, everyone start-ed to voice their thoughts and concerns.”

Instead of lazing around during the summer, Esparza made use of his free time to experiment. He started his novel at the end of summer 2012, and completed it in March 2013. The book consists of 186 pages of Espinoza’s adventures during his sophomore and junior years.

Esparza’s father funded the book.

“I’m very proud of Bryan in a way that he knows what he wants to do, and what he aims to do

with his writing,” said edi-tor Jennifer Mauck, who is also a teacher at RHS. “When he approached me, I have never taught him, I barely knew him. But when he approached me to edit his work, I was skepti-cal of his aim. Seeing how hard he worked, it was definitely for real.”

Esparza knew that the book would draw atten-tion since it is considered realistic fiction.

“After all,” said Esparza, “who’s in a better position to write about high school than a high school kid?”

“Attitude” is available in Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles’ website and SoulFood books.

Celine Djohan is a stu-dent in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

For some, the Africa Mercy is a life-saving ship. To former Redmond resident Kristin Jack, it has become a life-changing volunteer adventure, a fulfilling job and a home. Working for social justice with a nonprofit hospital ship that travels to devel-oping nations is an oppor-tunity she planned for.

Originally accepted to the position as a barista at the ship’s Starbucks, Jack is now the head reception-ist on the ship that has traveled from Guinea to Pointe-Noire, Congo. She has an important role as first-contact for patients and crew members.

According to Diana Cash, a primary caregiver, chaplain and librarian aboard the Africa Mercy, one of the things that makes Jack so good at her job is the way she cares for

people, whether behind the coffee stand or the reception desk.

“She can make people feel at ease on the ship,” Cash said.

And when you’re deal-ing with sick or terminal patients, making people feel at ease is a good skill to have. The Africa Mercy’s

primary mission is to give health care to developing nations, including emer-gency care for terminal patients.

“I saw a chaplain come up holding a (sick) little baby; just seeing the grief in these parents’ eyes and faces, that was a really hard moment,” Jack said.

“It was also one where I was really glad that this family wasn’t alone when it happened and that they were surrounded by (people) that loved their baby and loved them.”

The Africa Mercy is a fully capable hospital, complete with an emer-gency room, pediatric ward, intensive care units, several surgery rooms and more. It is staffed by ap-

proximately 400 volunteers from more than 30 differ-ent nations, according to Jack.

All of the volunteers aboard the ship have to raise money to pay their way aboard and to also help with operation costs. As soon as Jack found out she got the job as barista on the ship, she started fundraising to pay her way.

The $1,000 per month in donations that Jack uses to stay on board is given through her website and will cover her food and boarding, travel expenses, health care and more.

For her money, she gets a bunk in a room built to hold eight people and a storage compartment. Ac-cording to Jack, one needs to be flexible and adapt-able, but also fun, in order to live well together in such cramped quarters.

Krissy Close, the hospi-tal projects manager and a friend of Jack’s, said life on the ship is mostly un-complicated, even though you work so closely with people.

“There’s not a whole lot

to do, per se, in the Ameri-can mindset out here in the Congo,” Close said. “So the simple things become very special, (such as) when you can spend time with a friend.”

When Jack is overcome with homesickness, she immerses herself in mak-ing the ship feel more like home, such as planning a Super Bowl party and an upcoming bridal shower. She’s looking forward to extending her contract to stay aboard longer, committed to continuing to help those in need and staying among a commu-nity that she calls home.

Since she is so far away from most donors, Jack uses social networking and online fundraising to fa-cilitate her funding needs. You can visit her website at www.abeautifulwander.com/mercy-ships/ to help her on her way.

After suffering a neck injury that ended her career as a professional horseback rider, Jodie Davis has found a new career as the franchise owner of a new frozen yogurt shop in Redmond.

For Davis, finding a new occupa-tion after years on the saddle was a lengthy process.

“I didn’t think I’d ever find anything that’d interest me like Menchie’s,” Davis said. “It’s really helped my move away from riding.”

Since she was 4 years old, Davis rode horses. She couldn’t even go on vacation unless she could ride a horse at the places they visited, according to her father, Joe Davis. And when she was 8 years old, her parents bought her first pony, Raffle.

With constant practice and avid passion, her skills as a rider bloomed. Davis moved east to attend the University of South Carolina to be near one of the nation’s premier

trainers of horses and riders. Davis pursued a degree in financing during the week while spending weekends and academic breaks training and showing horses around the region.

But she wasn’t showing horses enough, she said. She wanted to come back to Washington state. So after two years, Davis returned home to the Northwest and enrolled at Seattle University. She concur-

rently rejoined Parkside Stables in Bellevue, where she rode as a child. For the next 11 years she showed horses from Canada to California.

Davis’ passion and hard work for riding culminated in 2009, when she won the United States Hunter Jumper Association International Hunter Derby at the Evergreen Clas-sic in Carnation.

But even a lifetime of experience

couldn’t entirely protect her from the dangers of horse riding. After an accidental hard fall, Davis suffered a serious neck injury. At first, she believed the aching would fade. But after a couple weeks, the pain inten-sified to excruciating levels.

“It scared me enough to listen to the doctors,” Davis said. “They told me I could no longer ride.”

Her career counselor at Seattle University suggested she try fran-chising: owning a restaurant but receiving designs, equipment and food from a corporate sponsor.

To Davis, it sounded like a possi-bility. When she researched possible franchises, Menchie’s caught her attention.

“Right away,” Davis said. “Since I love frozen yogurt, it interested me. Then, the first time I actually tried it, it was amazing.”

Davis opened the shop, located at 17875 Redmond Way, the first week of 2014.

Davis, who lives in Bothell, said that she is still learning the ins and

outs of running her own business. However, she said the transition from horse rider to business owner has been a smooth process.

Sadie Whitely, owner of the Tacoma Menchie’s, was one of the other franchisees who helped guide Davis through the opening of her store in Redmond.

“She’s energetic,” Whitely said. “She’s a good fit because she’s fun and committed to maintaining her place.”

Joe Davis said that Jodie has signed up to open five more Menchie’s franchises in the area, if all goes well with the first shop. However, if her business career in any way models her riding career, Jodie will be just as successful.

“I was really fortunate to find something I’m really passionate about,” she said.

Kevin Vandenburg is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

Dental caries is cur-rently the most preva-lent disease affecting chil-dren.

Even with all the develop-ments of mod-ern medicine, identifying risk factors for caries and creating sure-fire

preventive strategies are an ongoing battle in the

United States and many other countries.

One major risk factor for dental disease in our society is associated with the popular, pre-packaged,

on-the-go processed fruit

products, e.g. fruit roll-ups, fruit leather, fruit snacks and even all the or-ganic fruit leather brands.

Eye-catching pack-aging makes kids want their parents to buy the snacks, and parents can be misled by the claims of “a full day’s sup-ply of Vitamin C,” and “made from real fruit.” Though these statements

may be true, the real-ity is that it is mainly the fruit sugars that are extracted from fruits, and condensed into a sweet and sticky paste. When sugars stick to the teeth for an extended time, bacteria will thrive (forming visible plaque) and produce acidic waste, which ultimately leads to the erosion of enamel. The healthy fiber of natural fruits is eliminated from these products. Eating whole fruits and vegetables at snack time will provide the benefit of fiber, which is filling, good for the digestive tract and cleanses the mouth and teeth.

Water should also be the beverage of choice during snack times. For the occasional treat, choosing a piece of chocolate that melts away quickly, over a piece of taffy or sour gummies, could be a win-win for both you and your child.

Washington Autism Alli-ance & Advocacy (WAAA) and Nourishing Networks Central (NNC) have joined Redmond’s Together Center’s campus of human service agencies serving east King County.

WAAA works on policy issues at the state level and works one on one with families and school districts to ensure treatment is avail-able for people with autism.

Founder and CEO Arzu Forough said, “Washington Autism Alliance and Ad-vocacy was formed in 2007 to bridge the gap between policies and people. We know that policies exist to serve our children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). We know that educators, politicians and medical providers want to support these policies.

Agencies bond to

help families

[ more AGENCIES page 9 ]


“We also know that, in reality, this has not been happening e� ectively. � e mission of WAAA is to ensure that our children have every opportu-nity to become productive members of society. Our programs fall under three main umbrellas: provid-ing resources, enhancing community and advocat-ing for implementation of legislation.” (Learn more at www.washingtonautism advocacy.org.)

NNC, a new nonpro� t, is the backbone organi-zation that supports the development and sustain-ability of local nourishing networks. � is e� ort was a strategic initiative � rst launched by Hopelink to � nd new ways to inspire and engage the community to end poverty.

One of the co-founders and now new CEO and guardian Linda Benson said, “With Hopelink’s founding commitment and the subsequent sup-port of the Center for Ethical Leadership to help launch and incubate the initial � ve Nourishing Networks, our community

has developed a model of community engagement and action that is quickly demonstrating the power of community passion and the magic that is available when working in net-works.

“NNC o� ers a new approach to mobilize the passion and untapped resources of a commu-nity,” Benson continued. “� e founding networks are focusing on the issues of hunger in their com-munities, while others are considering this model

for other challenges, such as domestic violence in one community and in another: better tapping the richness of their diverse city. � e model is avail-able for passionate citizens from cross sector networks to address gaps for any issue that is challenging.” (Learn more at www.nour ishingnetworks.net.)

For children who have been struggling in school, summer can be their opportunity to

catch up on key skills and feel more confident when they head back to class. For students who do well, it’s an opportu-nity to reinforce enthusi-

asm for learning.“Learning loss begins

within 24 to 48 hours, unless the new infor-mation is reinforced or applied immediately,” says Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D., vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center, which has locations in Kirkland and Bellevue. “After a month without rein-forcement, approximate-ly 80 percent of what a student has recently learned can be lost. You cannot start too early or too late to help your child prepare for going back to school.”

Parents play a key role in reinforcing learning on an ongoing basis. Syl-van Learning Center has prepared these tips for integrating continuous learning into fun, family activities all summer long:

• Read with your stu-dent. You can’t start too early, and you can’t read too much. Read together with your children and

ask questions about the plot and characters.

• Use the Web to create a reading list. There are an abundance of sites that provide summer reading lists for children. At www.bookadventure.com, children create per-sonalized book lists from more than 7,000 recom-mended titles, take quiz-zes on the books they’ve read at school or home and earn prizes. The program is designed to motivate students to read more often, for longer periods of time and with greater understanding.

• Plan an educational field trip. Visit an in-teresting place close to home, such as a historic site, museum or the zoo.

• Find pen pals or keep a journal. Encourage your student to write let-ters to family and friends as a way of practicing writing. Regular entries in a journal will also keep writing skills alive.

• Visit the library. Li-braries can recommend books appropriate for your child’s reading level and interests, and many libraries offer free family programs.

• Participate in sum-mer learning programs. There are a variety of programs available for children that reinforce learning. For example, Sylvan Learning Center provides math, writing and reading camps for students ranging from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.

For additional ideas, log on to www.sylvanlearning.com or call 800-31-SUCCESS.

As a tiny fourth-grader, Audrey Chen was drawn to the biggest instrument in the music room: the cello.

� e 17-year-old Red-mond resident is now a senior at Interlake High School, and has received many accolades for play-ing the instrument. She recently became a national � nalist for the Music Teachers National As-sociation (MTNA) Senior Strings Competition.

In order to qualify for the national MTNA com-petition in Chicago, Chen � rst competed at the state level and then in the Pa-ci� c Northwest division. She competed with fellow cellists, as well as violinists and violists.

“I really like the cello for its mellow sound, and it’s really warm,” said Chen. “I feel bad if I don’t practice for, like, two days. You can tell the di� er-ence if you haven’t been practicing.”

Chen also enjoys fencing, riding her bike, reading and playing the piano, which she has been playing since she was 6. One reason she pursued mastering the cello instead of the piano is the ability to perform the cello solo, in chamber with a small group of people and in orchestra with a bigger group.

Chen will perform solo at the competition, but emphasizes the feeling of community she � nds through playing the cello in orchestra.

“In orchestra you can be part of this large group of people, where you’re all working together to create beautiful, uniform sound,” said Chen. “It really helps to boost your con� dence in just how far you can get in music if you can � nd those who are taking the same path.”

� is past summer, Chen was part of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America. She was one of the 120 young musicians in the nation chosen to visit and train in London, Rus-sia and cities on the East Coast. She is also part of the Bellevue Youth

Symphony Orchestra and the Interlake Chamber Orchestra.

“Audrey Chen is an extraordinary talented musician, an IB (Inter-national Baccalaureate) Diploma recipient, and a thoughtful and charis-matic young lady,” said Dr. Shira Katsman, the director of orchestras at Interlake. “She generously serves the community by o� en volunteering to play at school functions.”

Last month, Chen won � rst place for her solo performance in the Sam-mamish Symphony Or-chestra’s Youth Concerto.

In addition to being part of her school or-chestras since elemen-tary school, Chen has had private lessons since she began playing the cello. Her private teacher, Kai Chen (no relation), has taught her all that she knows about the cello, she said.

� e MTNA is an organi-zation that supports the careers of music teachers throughout the nation. � eir student competition is an opportunity for the students of association members to demonstrate

their musical education and talent. Kai Chen is not involved with the as-sociation, but was able to register Audrey Chen as a non-member.

“She is the best player in the Washington state,” said Kai Chen, who has been teaching Audrey Chen for a span of nine years.

Chen will head to Chicago to compete in the MTNA Senior Strings Competition on March 23. � e winner receives a cash prize and performs in a concert the day a� er the competition. For Chen, the most rewarding part of winning is the opportuni-ty to perform and appreci-ate her own progress as an artist.

“I’ve been looking into a science,” said Chen, regarding her plans to pursue a dual degree in music and another major in college. “I know it doesn’t seem very related, but I’ve always thought I could � nd a connection between the two.”

Adiba Khan is a stu-dent in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory.

“Could the Overlake commercial district echo the success of South Lake Union?” asks Tom Hinman, facilitator for Imagine Overlake.

Redmond and Bel-levue residents and businesses are invited to attend a community in-formation meeting from 6:30-8 p.m. on Monday at the King County Library in Redmond. Sponsored by Imagine Overlake, a new grass-roots citizens’ group, this meeting will launch

a community conversa-tion that visualizes how the area surrounding Overlake Village’s future light rail station might look in the next decade.

Esterra Park, a catalyst project centered in the former Group Health hospital site in Redmond, began the first phase of construc-tion with site prepara-tion last year and is expected to have about 500 apartments ready for occupancy next fall. An office building on the 28-acre site adjoin-

ing the Microsoft cam-pus is currently being reviewed by Redmond planners. The proj-ect’s second phase will include a neighborhood park that has been the topic of several commu-nity open houses as the City of Redmond and developers seek public input.

Hinman said, “We want to capture mo-mentum generated in recent Sound Transit meetings and the park planning process in looking ahead to other

neighborhood gather-ing places — including future parks — that will make Overlake an exciting place to live. Building a sense of com-munity is as important as new construction if Overlake Village is to achieve the dreams of residents, planners and developers.” Hin-man also cited South Lake Union as a new neighborhood work-ing to build that sense of community, but that Overlake Village could be more family friendly.

The Bear Creek School’s boys and girls basketball teams punched their tickets to this week’s 2B state Hardwood Classic at the Spokane Arena with vic-tories at last weekend’s state regionals.

Seniors Jesse Leuen-berger and Collin Feight poured in 18 points each in the boys’ 61-31 victory over Willapa Valley on Friday at Bothell High.

According to coach Scott Moe, the Grizzlies’ defense is in “lockdown mode” this season and held Willapa Valley to a season-low points output; they averaged 62 points a game heading into regionals. Senior Luke Blankenbeckler was another Bear Creek standout with eight points and solid defense.

On the girls’ side, senior Catherine Fer-nandez led the Grizzlies

with 23 points and 20 rebounds in a 51-48 win over Wahkiakum on Sat-urday at Bothell High.

With senior Kristina Engelstone out with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, senior Hailey Morgan and sophomore Michelle Kahue (10 points) stepped up with clutch buzzer-beating shots and junior Darryln McDonough played stel-lar defense.

Both Leuenberger and Fernandez earned sportsmanship awards.

The girls (21-2 overall) lost to Northwest Chris-tian (Colbert), 52-14, on Thursday morning at state. Fernandez had eight points and Mc-Donough had six points. Bear Creek will next play DeSales in a loser-out game at 9 a.m. today. The winner advances to the fourth-/sixth-place game at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

The boys (21-2 overall) were also to play North-west Christian (Colbert) at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at state, after the Report-er’s deadline.

HISTORIAN TO DISCUSS LOGGING ON SATURDAY

As late as the 1920s there were still many huge, old growth trees in the area east of Redmond and

logging was dominated by the Siler Logging Company. Felled

trees were taken north by means of a specially-built 25-mile railroad

that ran from Ames Lake to Bromart, just south of Snohomish.

Logging and railroad historian Eric Erickson will explore the Siler

operations in detail at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center,

16600 N.E. 80th St. He is speaking as part of the Redmond Historical

Society Saturday Speaker Series.

‘ Singin’ in the Rain’


In the face of losing up to 17 percent of Metro Transit service, the Met-ropolitan King County Council on Monday took a step toward bolstering Transit Division finances by approving an across-the-board increase in tran-sit fares. In conjunction with the fare increase, the council is also acting to try to ensure that communi-ties who depend on public transit as their primary source of transportation are not left behind with the creation of a low-income fare program.

“Today’s vote makes King County one of the few large transit agencies in the country with a low-income fare,” said council mem-ber Larry Gossett, prime sponsor of the legislation creating the low-income fare. “The low-income fare has been about two years in the making and the work isn’t done yet. I look forward to continuing the good working relation-ship with (Executive Dow Constantine) and transit advocates as we develop an implementation strategy that works for Metro and those who will use this new fare. I also want to

thank the members of the Low Income Fare Advisory Committee for the hard work they put into recom-mending the creation of a low income fare.”

“Creating a low-income fare is not only a historic move, but more important-ly it helps ensure that pop-ulations who rely on transit most to get to jobs, classes and medical appointments aren’t priced out of the system,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips. “With our action today, King County is just the second major jurisdiction in the nation to address equity in access to transit through a low income fare program.”

The fare increase, which would be implemented in March 2015, would raise

fares by 25 cents for all fare categories for Metro Transit bus service. Fares for Access paratransit service would be increased by 50 cents in order to move toward the county’s policy goal of achieving parity between the Access fare and off-peak adult fare over time.

The legislation would also require the Transit Di-vision to send the council a low-income fare program implementation plan. If a program implementa-tion plan is adopted by the Council, a low-income fare program for transit riders would be established using the existing ORCA (One

Regional Card for All) system.

If an interlocal agree-ment is reached with the King County Transporta-tion District for the distri-bution of voter-approved revenues, the fare would start in 2015 at $1.25 for el-igible adults and the youth fare would remain at $1.25, with these fares rising to $1.50 in 2017. Absent the interlocal agreement, the low-income fare and youth fare would be set at $1.50 starting in 2015.

The eligibility threshold for the low-income fare would be 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, currently $22,980 for an

individual. Adults in a family of four earning up to $47,100 would also be eligible.

The low-income fare was recommended by the Low-Income Fare Options Advi-sory Committee that issued its report in mid-2013. The

focus of the committee was to ensure that even during the current funding crisis for transit, low-income adults would have more af-fordable transit options for their transportation needs.

County Council approves transit fare increase

There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
