Lake Washington School District $404M bond is failing SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
The latest results for the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Proposition No. 1 bond show the measure about eight percentage points away from passing. According to King County Elections, the
bond’s approval percentage is 51.99 with a 48.01 rejection percentage as of Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. To pass, the bond needs a 60 percent “yes” vote and a minimum turnout of 18,503. Results will be certified on May 6.
Based on the early returns, LWSD communications director Kathryn Reith said they don’t expect the measure to pass. “The results are disappointing for the students, staff and families of the Lake Washington School

Emotions ran high and deep at Monday’s 118th Boston Marathon. A year ago, two bombs exploded near the finish line, killing three spectators and injuring 264 others. On Monday, nearly 36,000 runners returned to the streets of Boston and tackled the 26.2-mile course. “It was an emotional day for a lot of people. I was watching the local news stories and they were saying, ‘We took our marathon back’ and people were really proud of how it went,” said Redmond’s Kristen Mossman, 50, who finished her fourth Boston Marathon in three hours, 22 minutes and 34 seconds. “Overall, I had a great day — I’m happy. It’s been a special time for me,” she added over the phone from Boston on Tuesday morning. While speaking with the Reporter, Mossman walked

Representing nine countries, the new U.S. citizens came from as far as Romania, Taiwan and Indonesia to just north of the border in Canada. And from the Philippines was Arvin Sebastian, a Redmond resident who works as an engineer at AT&T. Sebastian came to the United States in 2003 to work. He started out in Boston. There, he met his wife Irma Sebastian, who also came to the country from the Philippines in 2004. After they married, the couple moved around the country before they came to Redmond. When he first came to the United States, Arvin said the main thing he had to adjust to was the weather in Boston, which was very different from the Philippines’ tropical climate. “Their winter is never ending,” he said about the New England town.

McBride will now run for Habib’s House Representative position after raising more than $70,000 for the Senate position. “I originally ran for two reasons: to defeat Rodney Tom and bring my perspective and experience as a longtime Eastside civic leader to Olympia and continue my record of service,” McBride said in a news release. She served four terms on the Kirkland City Council and two terms as mayor. “With Tom out, my priority is to do what’s needed to make a difference on issues that matter—fixing transportation and transit, investing in our schools and families, and protecting our environment.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK
Saturday night, I dropped my parents off at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They would be boarding a plane to Boston to visit my sister Bonna. This trip was a repeat of one they took a year ago in mid-April. While the purpose of the trip was positive, there was a small sense of worry underlying it all. That’s because my parents were once again going to see my sister run in the Boston Marathon. After the bombings at last year’s marathon, I couldn’t help but be a little worried about all the “what ifs” that could have happened this year. Fortunately, the event went off without a hitch. I remember talking to my sister on the phone within a week following last year’s marathon and asking her if she would be running the race this year. She said she would and I was impressed because there was pretty much no hesitation in her response. “I don’t think anyone who ran last year thought twice about whether or not they would be running it again after what happened,” she told me recently. “Once the initial confusion, frustration and sadness subsided, all I wanted was redemption.” And apparently, she wasn’t the only one who felt this way. This year’s Boston Marathon brought out nearly 36,000 participants — one of the largest fields in the race’s history. “(It) shows that no one and nothing is going to stop us from running and from
finishing this race,” Bonna said about the large turnout. “It’s almost as if the result of the terrorist attack last year achieved the exact opposite of its original intent. The city and the country came together and is more determined and stronger than ever.” My sister signed up for the marathon at her first opportunity and when she told me, I have to admit, I was pretty proud of my big sister for following through on her word. She wasn’t going to let last year’s events scare her away from participating. “I think after what happened last year and all the extra security measures the city is taking, this is probably going to be the safest race ever,” she said. Some of those extra security measures, she told me, included a clear-bag policy for runners and no bags at the starting line. Leading up to Marathon Monday, participants were also receiving constant updates from race officials on the increased security this year, my sister said.
For someone who went through a very long half hour of not knowing anything after learning about the bombings last year, I found it reassuring to hear how transparent race officials were being this year. While this year’s race was about redemption for my sister, it was also about family. She said one of her biggest motivators last year was having our parents see her cross the finish line, but obviously that didn’t happen. The bombs went off and the race stopped when she was just around the corner from the finish line. “Last year was also the first time my mom had visited Boston since I moved here and the events of last year left a dark cloud over the whole trip,” Bonna said. “So of course I knew I had to run it again and finish the race.” For my sister, it was very important to be able to see our parents waiting for her at the [ more PAK page 5 ]
Addressing our community’s priorities for government The Legislature adjourned in mid-March and I’m pleased that we were able to take meaningful steps in support of Washington students, our most vulnerable citizens and veterans and their families. During the 2014 session, I sponsored successful legislation that: provides services to an additional 5,000 people with developmental disabilities without costing the state money; supports paraeducators who are an essential part of our public school system, providing a great deal of instruction especially for children with special needs; and protects veterans from
financial scams. But as the Senate’s chief budget writer, my primary task was updating state spending. Similar to the two-year plan I crafted in 2013, this year’s budget update prioritized education, received overwhelming bipartisan support and didn’t raise taxes on individuals or businesses. Those results were possible thanks to last year’s work creating a sustainable spending plan that left us deficit-free for the first time since 2008. I entered this year’s session with three budget priorities and left with results that address the requests and concerns Andy Hill

OPINION
[4] April 25, 2014
I hear from members of our community.
PRIORITIZE EDUCATION
Almost two-thirds of spending increases went toward education, adding to the $1 billion increase for basic education last year. The plan also does not allow tuition increases at state colleges and universities for the second year in a row, which hasn’t happened since 1980. Adding to the focus on students, the budget provided an additional $25 million investment in the Opportunity Scholarship, a public-private partnership for students from low- and middle-income families studying highdemand career fields. This program prepares Washington students for
good Washington jobs.
LIVE WITHIN TAXPAYER MEANS
This year’s budget update is sustainable and continues meeting the state’s four-year balanced budget requirement while not raising taxes on Washington residents and businesses. Our state’s economy continues to improve, but is recovering slowly as is the national economy. Allowing job creators to grow by not changing their cost structures was important for small- and medium-sized businesses in King County’s Eastside and statewide. The overall plan increased state spending by $155 million, which is less than 1 percent of the $33.7 billion budget.
Spending beyond our means and entering the 2015 session with a deficit would make it increasingly difficult to address our paramount duty to properly fund K-12 education.
BROAD, BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
This year’s budget was built and approved in an open and bipartisan manner. While I believe that’s how government should work, it has not always been the case in Washington state and especially Washington, D.C. Last year as a new budget writer, I opened up the process to keep members from both sides of the aisle involved in a collaborative manner. This year was no different [ more HILL page 5 ]

I am a recent graduate from Redmond High School and I was extremely pleased when reading about Sara Gardner’s program at Bellevue College for those with autism spectrum disorder (Redmond Reporter, April 18). During my time at Redmond High School, I was lucky enough to be very involved in the peer mentoring program and meet individuals with varying disabilities all over the spectrum. These kids were some of the smartest, most hardworking individuals I have ever come into contact with. Although some of them struggled with aspects of the high school experience, with support from the program and help from classes specifically focused on addressing their needs most of the students were able to find their niche and flourish at school.
Graduating from high school and moving on to create an independent adult life is difficult for everyone, regardless of their degree of ability or disability. I believe that programs such as Autism Spectrum Navigators at Bellevue College and the Transition Academy operating out of the Lake Washington School District are important stepping stones for all individuals who are ready to leave high school, but are not ready to completely sever themselves from the same support that has allowed them to be so successful in the past. These individuals are important members of our community and have so much talent and passion to share with us all. It is so important to have programs such as the Autism Spectrum Navigators available and I am very proud to live in a community that has so many resources offered for those who need them.
finish line. And when that happened, it was extremely emotional. “This year, the entire race was emotional. I kept stopping to walk because I was crying,” she told me after the race. “I stopped to look for Ma and Pa at the finish line and spotted them and broke down.” When I heard this, I was happy for my sister to have had this moment, but it was also bittersweet for me because I wasn’t there to share it with the rest of my family. Just hearing about the experience from my sister makes me want to be there with her. “There is something special about this race. It’s the crowd. It’s this city. It’s the last stretch of the race down Boylston towards the finish line that makes it unforgettable and so emotional,” she said. “It keeps me coming back each year.” And hopefully next year, I’ll be there with her.

It was another record year for the ninth annual Lake Washington Schools Foundation’s (LWSF) Legacy for Learning luncheon, which generated $237,023 — the highest amount yet. Hosted at Juanita High School, 585 attendees packed into the Rebels’ gymnasium and were seated at more than 60 neatly decorated tables, also a record. “Part of it was that we set higher goals for ourselves,” said Kathleen Reynolds with the LWSF. “Our new executive director since September has given us more capacity.” The foundation’s luncheon fundraising goal was $225,000. Reynolds said she believes Executive Director Kristina Williams was able to build stronger professional relationships, as well. Microsoft was the foundation’s biggest sponsor.
Redmond Town Center officials believe egg dyers set world record Special to the Reporter
“We think we did it!” exclaimed Courtney Klein, property manager for Redmond Town Center (RTC), when asked if the Guinness World Record was broken for “The Most People Dyeing Eggs At One Time” last Saturday. Redmond Police Chief Ron Gibson and Redmond Fire Department Chief Tommy Smith stayed after the event and counted the eggs, verifying the number. Despite the pouring rain and the wind, hundreds braved the weather and came out to RTC for the event. RTC records show that 680 Redmond kids and their families dyed eggs. The record to beat was 317.

There were many stringent requirements to make this event official. For example, in order to participate fully, each participant had to keep his/her egg submerged in the dye completely for a minimum of three minutes. After the three minutes were up, participants had to simultaneously remove their eggs from the dye using their spoons.

The bond would also leave some funds for future capital projects. “Without this funding, we will have to begin reviewing other options immediately for housing our rapidly growing student enrollment,” Pierce said. “The good news is that so many families want to move to our area to attend our excellent schools.

proud of the work of our district and schools.” The talks reviewing the district’s options will be starting very soon as LWSD is already dealing with building overcrowding. Reith said the district has already made temporary boundary changes this school year to bus students from Norman Rockwell and Albert Einstein elementary schools in north Redmond to Horace Mann Elementary School, which now has four new portables to accommodate the influx of students. In addition, LWSD officials will need to be creative in figuring out
“Sometimes with a higher goal, you push harder,” she said, adding that their total annual goal is $365,000 for 2014. Last year, the foundation raised $216,650 at the luncheon (with a goal of $192,000) to help implement the Lake Washington School District’s (LWSD) signature programs. This year was clearly a year to revel in the programs’ success and to ensure it stays on the right path. “Six months ago, I didn’t value education the way I do now,” said Juanita High School student Lauren McAllister, who is enrolled in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) signature program. “And if you would have asked me if I thought I’d be standing here in front of hundreds of supporters as a representative for my school, I would have called you crazy.”
where to put elementary school students in Kirkland as there will not be a new one built, Reith said. She said district officials did not have any specific locations for the elementary school in Kirkland or middle school in Redmond. With the bond failing, Reith said JHS students will continue to be in a building with a problematic heating system and old portables, and the district will need to look at what they can do at LWHS. “The issue is already on our doorstep,” she said, adding that with the bond failing, the district won’t have

McAllister was nominated by her teachers and classmates to share her success story. Made up of English, anatomy and biotechnology courses, McAllister found herself grateful for the teachers’ willingness to help students in the program. “Not very many teachers that I knew would spend countless hours re-explaining what enzyme incorporates the HIV virus in your DNA, but my teacher did,” she said. “It’s things like that that make you understand how important education is. “There’s not a doubt in my mind that I would not be the student and person I am today without this program and without these teachers.” But the STEM signature programs are just one piece of the educational puzzle the foundation has helped the district fund. The foundation provides LINKS mentors for students, scholarships, a teacher support program for second-year teachers, and classroom grants for practical education, such field trips that show how students’ education is implemented in the “real world,” among others. “As a class, we were able to go on many field trips,” said Thomas Barnett, a student at Redmond High School, who is also in the
STEM signature program. “At Seattle BioMed, we got to see how professionals analyze and experiment with the HIV virus, which is what they use for figuring out vaccines (that) still haven’t been found.” Although medical professionals threw around terms such as “gene sequencing” and “gene amplification” during the field trip, Barnett said they were able to understand the technical jargon because they “were all educated in the classroom to understand what it meant and how it applied to the research they did.” Initial keynote speaker Robert Malte, the CEO of EvergreenHealth Medical Center wasn’t able to speak, as there was a death in his family, but Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeff Tomlin took the reins. Tomlin recalled when Malte was interviewing for the CEO position. He was assigned to giving Malte a tour of the hospital and one of the questions Malte asked was how successful the LWSD was. “I told him Lake Washington School District is superior,” Tomlin said, whose children attended several Kirkland-area schools and later became coaches at Juanita High School in their adult life.
a potential tool that would have helped them. Although she acknowledged the district’s overcrowding issues, Redmond resident Susan Wilkins voted against the bond. “I think it all comes down to cost,” she said, explaining that the community would be getting “too little for too much money.” In the future, Wilkins said she would like to see more transparency from LWSD and community input when it comes to planning the district’s future. Paige Norman, another Redmond resident who was against the bond, agreed.
She said the district is asking for a blank check from the community but with no real plans on how the money will be used. She said she is pleased that taxpayers made it clear that they’re not pleased with the way the district has been spending but not pleased that the district still needs to figure out how to make room for students. “We can’t keep handing you money,” Norman said about the district. “You need to use it more wisely.” The next time LWSD will be able to put a bond on the ballot will be February 2015, Reith said.

3:48.24 and Brig Seidl, 51, with a time of 4:08.04. Redmond’s Lauren Anderson, 32, Aaron Burby, 40, and Richard Mareno, 45, were also scheduled to run but their times weren’t listed on the marathon website at press time. (Aside from Mossman, the rest of the runners were unavailable for comment.) At last year’s marathon, Mareno finished in 3:41.08; Sall finished in 3:16.00; and Seidl started the race but stopped after about an hour. According to her Athlinks.com profile, Seidl also ran in the Boston Marathon in 2012, finishing in 4:22.18. Mossman noted that there was heightened security at this year’s race and there were also about 9,000 more runners than last year. The first wave of runners started at 10 a.m. and Mossman was in the second wave, which began at 10:25 a.m. She was about 14,000 people back in the throng and said it was tough at first to find a comfortable spot to run. There was some jostling among the runners, but everyone was in good spirits just to be participating in the oldest continuously running marathon. Mossman — who has completed 18 marathons — previously ran the Boston event in 2005, 2008 and 2009. Following last year’s marathon tragedies, her emotions brought her back to Boston. “I felt I needed to come back
and I wanted to be a part of that,” Mossman said. “Why should I not go back and let the bad guys win? I was just so in awe — I met people who were stopped at mile 25 last year and the reason they came back was to cross the finish line. We were so embraced by the volunteers at the end. It was so wonderful and everyone felt like they were all champions.” Another driving force for Mossman to finish the marathon was her daughter, Mekenna, a Redmond High School runner who was injured in the fall of 2012. She suffered a deep puncture to her right leg when she fell during a run and it turned into a severe case of necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria), which could have taken her leg — or her life — if it hadn’t been treated properly, a Reporter story noted. Mekenna endured 18 surgeries and is running again. “I’m still emotional about what she went through. It’s been a hard journey for me,” said Kristen, noting about Mekenna’s positive outlook on life: “She never quit. She never gave up. She never will.” Mossman also gained inspiration before the race when she met Scott Rigsby, who lost both his legs in a car accident at age 18. The author of “Unthinkable” ran in the event on Monday in his prosthetic legs. While it was a victorious day, Mossman couldn’t help but feel fear when reaching the finish line because that’s where the bombs
exploded last year. She pushed those thoughts out of her mind, continued on and raised her arms above her head at the end. Through all her running, Kristen has inspired Mekenna, a junior who’s competing in the 800-, 1,600and 3,200-meter events for the Mustang track and field team this spring. “I’m so proud of her,” said Mekenna, adding that her mom has recovered from a host of injuries to be the successful runner she is today. Mekenna speaks in an excited voice when discussing Kristen heading out for a 22-mile morning run recently that blew away the 3-mile run the high schooler was faced with that day. It was a 26.2-miler on Monday. As she entered one of her classes that morning, Mekenna’s teacher was wearing Boston Marathon gear and the Mustang proclaimed: “My mom’s running the Boston Marathon as we speak!” Next up for Kristen is the picturesque Big Sur International Marathon along the California Pacific coast on Sunday. She’s got blisters on her feet from Boston, but that’s OK, she said with a laugh. “My feet will probably say, ‘Hold on, I’m not ready for this,’ but my head will say, ‘OK, here we go, we’re not stopping,’” Mossman said, adding that at the finish line, “I’ll probably fall to my knees and cry.”

eligible for citizenship in two years. Like Arvin, for Dinis Couto and Cynthia Couto, becoming U.S. citizens has just made official what the Kirkland couple has felt since coming to the states. Cynthia, who came from Brazil, said life in the states has been like second nature for them. “We were happy living here. People were nice to us,” she said about life before earning their citizenship. “I feel part of this country already.” Dinis, who came from Portugal, agreed, saying their experience in this country — which started in Florida before they moved to the Pacific Northwest — has been filled with friendly, welcoming people. A number of people spoke at Monday’s naturalization ceremony, including Holly Koelling, director of public services for the King County Library System (KCLS). She said libraries are a primary institution for their communities and provide various, nonjudgmental services for people, regardless of their background. Some of those services include classes in which people can learn the skills, language and ways of living to help them adjust to life in the United States. The library also offers
services to help people become U.S. citizens, “if they choose so,” Koelling said. Linh Tran, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officer, added that libraries have also had a long history of being a place of self-education for immigrants. City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione also spoke at Monday’s ceremony. During his speech, he shared his families’ stories of coming to the United States from Italy and Newfoundland. Marchione said his family was able to incorporate American culture with their cultural heritage and encouraged the new U.S. citizens to do the same. “I wish you the best of luck and welcome you to the community,” Marchione said to them. While becoming a citizen has been a happy occasion for Arvin, it is also bittersweet. He said for him and Irma, one of the difficulties of living in the United States has been being apart from their families in the Philippines. He added living in different time zones also makes it difficult to call home whenever they want, as well. In the future, Arvin and Irma hope more of their family will be able to move to the United States so they can be together. “We’d like to have our kids grow up with cousins and grandparents,” Arvin said.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
ABOUT ANIMAL CRUELTY Animals are a part of the American way of life in more ways than one might think; they are companion pets; they are raised as food on farms; they are used in entertainment, hunting, and for work; and they live in the American wilderness — including in the forest just beyond our suburban backyards. One way you can work against cruelty to animals is to volunteer at a neighborhood animal shelter or adopt an animal. Another is to make a donation to the ASPCA or any other similar organization. But one of the strongest ways to influence the manner in which animals are treated is to get involved as a consumer and a voter. Your buying power is not insignificant. Make sure you buy cleaning products, cosmetics, and foods that are cruelty-free. In many cases, that means checking product labels to make sure they contain natural ingredients and certification that what you’re buying was not tested on animals. Even better, write a letter to the manufacturers of any products you would like to be able to buy but won’t because of your principles. Tell them that if they were to guarantee a product was made without cruelty to animals, you might consider changing your habits. Similarly, make a power move and write your elected representatives to let them know this is a matter you take seriously. Tell them that you want to see more legislation that protects animals from abuse, both in industry and in the wild. Together, with all the other voices, yours can make a difference.
We do out of state adoptions across the US, including in the Washington area.
The ASPCA promotes “going orange” as a way to remember that all our animals need to be treated fairly and protected from cruelty and abuse.

Spring is in the air and that means allergies—for you and your pet. While we humans suffer from inhaled allergies with runny noses, watery eyes and sneezing, our pets exhibit far different symptoms, including scratching their ears, licking or chewing their feet or body, and rubbing their faces against any and all available surfaces. Why do our canine and feline companions do this? Often it is because they suffer from atopy, the medical term for inhaled allergic skin disease. Here, in the Puget Sound, all four seasons are associated with pollens and spores from our bountiful plant life. Unfortunately that “bounty” gets inhaled by our pets and generates these allergies. Springtime, when plants, and therefore pollens, are truly exploding, it can be especially troublesome for allergy sufferers. What to do? The first step is ruling out other causes of itching. This may include skin scrapings to diagnose mites and other parasites, fungal testing for ringworm, food trials, and sometimes skin biopsies. To know for certain that your pet suffers from inhaled allergies, you’ll need your veterinarian to run specific tests. Addressing this problem can be challenging for veterinarians and frustrating for pet owners. Each patient may respond differently to recommended treatments, which include topical therapy (shampoos and conditioners) and oral antihistamines, as well as desensitizing injections and medicines that suppress an abnormal immune response. The good news is that with the benefit of new diagnostic tools and treatment options, your vet can help your pet be itch free.

Emerald Heights occupancy increases, adds amenities Strong occupancy rates and a recovering housing market have spurred several expansions at Redmond’s Emerald Heights, a type-A life care community with amenity rich offerings and on-site health care services for senior living. The recovering housing market has led to Emerald Heights’ need to increase homes on its campus, and at the end of 2013 was 93 percent reserved for Trailside, its new 43-unit apartment community. Emerald Heights is sponsored by Emerald Communities, a regional senior housing and service organization. “Emerald Heights’ new
expansion is a testament to the community’s culture and vitality,” said Lisa Hardy, president and chief executive officer of Emerald Communities. “We provide residents with the physical, cultural and spiritual opportunities they identify as the most fulfilling to them; the new amenities and services are a direct reflection of what our current and future residents ask of us.” Emerald Heights began construction on the new Trailside expansion in July 2013 and expects completion in 2014. The apartment homes feature fully equipped and modern kitchens, optional gas fireplaces, underground parking and
beautiful landscape views. The apartment homes provide residents with a choice of 17 different one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus den floor plans. At the close of 2013, Trailside was 93 percent reserved, an increase of 18 percent from the previous year. Emerald Heights also saw a nearly 3 percent increase in overall occupancy in 2013 bringing the community to 95 percent occupied. To meet the needs of the growing community, Emerald Heights expanded its campus to include a new fitness center and swimming pool designed specifically for its residents, multi-purpose auditorium featuring flexible
meeting spaces, as well as adding innovative dining venues including casual and fine-dining environments. Renovation of the Corwin Center, Emerald Heights’ on-site skilled and long-term care facility, is scheduled to begin this spring. “We put a great deal of emphasis on health and wellness. As an organization that provides services for life, residents have unlimited access to short- and longterm skilled nursing, assisted living and on-site memory care,” added Hardy. “The onsite Corwin Center and Health Services Clinic allow for residents to receive the healthcare services they need all in one location.”

...young at heart
Patterson is a jack-of-all-trades at Fairwinds-Redmond Ross Patterson loves to tell a stor y and he draws upon a wealth of experience to make the stor y interesting. Even though his active-duty orders in the US Navy during World War II interrupted his completion of an electrical engineering degree at Oregon State University, the college recognized his achievements in 2007 when they issued him a bachelor of science degree in electrical and electronic engineering. It made up for what he missed in 1942 and makes him the oldest graduate of the university’s engineering department at age 87. The Fair windsRedmond resident has played the piano since he was a young boy and he loves to share his talent and passion for music with others. Because of his macular degeneration, he is unable to read music any longer; however, he plays tunes from memor y and loves to respond to requests from his listeners. He sings in the chorus at Fair winds-Redmond (an active retirement living community), remembering the words and music to tunes ever yone loves. Patterson still volunteers at his church’s building and grounds committee where he helps direct others in the maintenance of the electrical and sound systems, much of which he designed or helped design. Most of this must be accomplished from memor y, since his eyesight won’t allow him to read charts. In his spare time,
Patterson writes computer programs to help accomplish tasks and keep personal records. With magnification and perseverance, he works through keying in the programs on his computers so he can get the results he wants. He believes that a person must continue to learn in order to have a rich life and stay young at heart. The staff at Fairwinds-Redmond recognizes him for his exceptional kindness and his enduring ability to embrace challenge with a smile and a can-do attitude. He celebrates
what he CAN do! For example, he recently attended at Broadway show at the 5th Avenue Theater in downtown Seattle. Even though he couldn’t see the actors, he left the theater grinning from ear to ear, enjoying what he could to the fullest. He has a glass (or two!) of wine ever y day, stating that’s what keeps him healthy and active. He never misses a Friday happy hour, where his kind of music and wine fill his spirit. For ALL of this, he is an inspiration to us all.

Writer fueled by activism in the golf community TERRENCE HILL UW News Lab
Not everyone is lucky enough to discover a new passion well after they have finished school. Even fewer are lucky enough to find a passion that aligns perfectly with their career. Cheri Brennan of Redmond was one of those people. Brennan’s work with local golf organizations has led to her being selected to write a chapter in the new book “Teeing Up for Success.” “It was flattering to be asked,” says Brennan. “Now that the book has been published, I’m very honored to be among the 30 other women who contributed chapters for this.” Brennan’s chapter in “Teeing Up for Success,” which was released in January, is not her first venture into writing. She also writes a column called “From the Forward Tees” in Pacific Northwest Golfer Magazine. Brennan finished a communications degree at Washington State University before she founded Alliance Communications in 1990.
Redmond resident Cheri Brennan golfs, writes and helps others through several golf organizations. Courtesy photo “I didn’t really start with golf until I was in college,” says Brennan. “I took golf as a PE class. I played a little bit then, but then moved
1016434
to San Francisco after college and never played until probably 10 or 15 years ago as a result of a client I was working with.”
That client was Scott Oki, former senior vice president of sales, marketing and service at Microsoft, who founded Oki Golf. Brennan worked on the public relations side when Oki Golf was building The Golf Club at Newcastle. She would go on to work with Oki for five years on multiple courses. As she was working on Oki’s courses, the Executive Women’s Golf Association caught her eye with their “Teeing Up for Success” event. “They’ve kind of gone to just the acronym EWGA more now,” says Brennan. “They have challenges for every woman to discover their own ‘E’ and it can be from empowering to the Every Women’s Golf Association. It’s a very inclusive organization.” The EWGA’s Seattle chapter celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Brennan began to attend the organization’s meetings regularly in 1998, but was not a full member at the time. That changed when the organization began looking for volunteer help. “We were looking for volunteers to help us out in different areas,” says Shelia
Sampolesi, who was the president of the EWGA Seattle chapter when Brennan first attended. “She came over and started talking and said, ‘I’d like to become a member and help you with your PR if you need it.’ She had a can-do, step-up attitude.” Brennan is also a volunteer for The First Tee of Greater Seattle, a chapter of a national organization that works with character development in youth through golf. They work with children from all backgrounds between the ages of 5 and 18. Brennan helps with public relations and profiles of the members of the organization. “Cheri’s been involved since the very beginning,” says Heidi Wills, the executive director of The First Tee of Greater Seattle. “She’s helped us tell our story to the broader public about the positive impacts we have on the youth in our community.” Of the 179 chapters in The First Tee, the Greater Seattle chapter was one of only three to obtain “ace status,” the highest recognition in the organization.

Overlake School lacrosse stars choose their colleges Overlake School senior lacrosse standouts Katie Hill and Colton Umberger recently made their college selections: Hill will play for Claremont McKenna (California) and Umberger will play for Rollins College (Florida). Hill, a three-sport athlete who has earned 12 varsity letters at Overlake, has enjoyed a stellar high school lacrosse career. The midfielder had scored 90 goals and distributed 46 assists over her four years at the Reporter’s deadline. She has played in three lacrosse state tournaments for the Owls, including the 2011 state championship. She has earned all-state honors in lacrosse and has been an all-league point guard in basketball. During a recent press conference, Hill thanked longtime Overlake coach Sue Haviland, who “provided great leadership both on and off the field and taught me a lot.” Hill will join former Owl teammates Becky Gold, Zoe Pinczower and Kelsey D’Ewart in the Claremont McKenna Athenas’ lacrosse program. Umberger, a member of Overlake’s varsity since his freshman year, has grown into a leader. He also has had the experience of playing in three state tournaments and — with his recent scoring outbreak — is making a bid
lacrosse, Umberger has been a leader on the cross country team, which ran in the state meet in Pasco in November for just the second time in school history. Though Umberger had Katie Hill Colton Umberger several offers from other strong lacrosse programs, to play in a fourth. Umberger he chose Rollins because “I scored five goals in a 10-7 really like the school. It’s like a Overlake win over O’Dea and dream school for me and I’m is currently tied for the league really excited to play at an even lead in scoring. In addition to higher level.”

all of the energy they use is matched in the electric grid with clean electricity from wind, solar, biogas and other renewable energy sources from the west. None of the renewable energy in PSE’s Green Power Program is generated by PSE; all of it comes from independent producers of renewable power. PSE residential customers can purchase 100 percent green power for approximately $10 to $12 a month based on their actual usage or buy a specific amount, with a minimum purchase of $4 per month for 320 kilowatt hours (kWh). Additional green power can be bought in increments of $2 for 160 kWh. Business customers can also participate at rates specific to their situation.
Friends of Youth celebrates construction of four new homes for youth Friends of Youth celebrated another step forward in its journey to fully respond to youth homelessness on April 17, cutting the ribbon on two new homes for homeless youth ages 16 to 22, and breaking ground on two new homes for foster youth ages 18 to 21 in the extended foster care program. Friends of Youth President and CEO Terry Pott-
meyer thanked the standing-room only crowd for their support of the agency’s vision to create a world where all youth have every opportunity to succeed. “The four new homes we celebrate today will become a landing pad where homeless and foster youth will find a place of refuge and growth, and a launching pad where those same young people will leave us for stable, independent, and successful futures,” she said. First Lady Trudi Inslee, King County Executive Dow Constantine, Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen and State Rep. Roger Goodman and a host of other officials were on hand for the celebration, which took place at Friends of Youth’s Kirkland campus, 13116 N.E. 132nd St. Rep. Goodman noted that the rainy day was a fitting backdrop for the event, as the homes would provide a safe, warm and dry alternative for youth living on the streets. First Lady Inslee remarked that these homes, and programs, should be available in every community across our state and issued a call to action to the attendees to make this a reality, eradicating homelessness for young people in Washington. The first homes will open for residents in June, while the extended foster care homes are slated for completion and occupancy before the end of the year.

PUBLIC NOTICES
Each city has set a goal — determined using a number of factors — to see how many additional homes and businesses sign up for PSE’s Green Power program, which allows PSE electric customers to pay a little more to guarantee some or all of their energy is from clean, renewable sources. • Redmond’s goal: Net increase of 250 participants • Issaquah’s goal: Net increase of 180 participants • Puyallup’s goal: Net increase of 200 participants Each city that meets its individual challenge goal will be awarded a $20,000 grant to go toward a solar project in their city. Each city will determine where its project will be located and how it will be implemented. The city with the highest percentage of new enrollments out of available accounts compared to the other cities will be dubbed the “Greenest Town in the Puget Sound” and awarded an additional $20,000 to go toward their city’s solar project, for a possible total of $40,000. The challenge officially ends on Dec. 31. PSE’s voluntary Green Power Program gives PSE electric customers a way to guarantee that some or

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. 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. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
