Community members, mayor address crowd at demonstration at Redmond City Hall SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Just because racism is not openly discussed in a community, does not mean it is nonexistent in that community. This was a common sentiment among people who spoke at a demonstration at Redmond City Hall Wednesday afternoon. The event, organized by the Eastside Race and Leadership Coalition (ERLC), was a response to a Redmond business
— From Rags to Riches — being targeted on Jan. 20 when a white suspect delivered Ku Klux Klantype items to the consignment shop. Owner Leona CoakleySpring and her son Shane Coakley, who are black, were both in the store at the time of the incident. Additional demonstrations are planned to be held in Bellevue, Renton, Sammamish, Cascadia College in Bothell and Lake Washington Institute of Technology in Kirkland.
DOMESTIC TERRORISM, SOLVED WITH LOVE
“My life will never be the same,” Coakley told attendees. He said he had never experienced anything like this before and to go through it with his mother made it that much worse. “This is domestic terrorism,” said Bobby Alexander. Alexander, a Seattle resident who also addressed the crowd Wednesday, said Coakley-Spring
and Coakley now must enter their store and wonder whether there will be a Klan member waiting for them at their place of business. He also asked the audience what people are supposed to tell their children. Alexander, who is also black, said CoakleySpring and Coakley are educated. That didn’t save them. They pay their taxes. That didn’t save them, either. Black people are being penalized for their success and [ more RACISM page 6 ]
Redmond residents help a family in need SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Things have not been easy for Stuart Miller and Kelly Scott lately. A few months ago, the couple had been living in Florida when they got in their car to drive across the country. “We needed to get away from a
bad situation,” Miller said. They ended up in Washington, staying with some friends in Renton. But with a newborn baby girl who would often wake up and cry at all hours of the night, Miller said they were soon asked to leave. They weren’t able to gather their belongings before they left and so the new family of three found
themselves on the streets of Renton — their car was no longer running — about a week and a half before Christmas. As they were trying to figure out their next steps, employees from Friends of Youth (FOY) found them and brought them to Redmond United Methodist Church, which was hosting the Eastside Emergency Winter Shelter
(EWS) at the time.
HELP FROM THE COMMUNITY

On Jan. 27, Daniel Haggart of Redmond pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement in the stabbing that killed 17-yearold Cara Neil in July 2014. Cara Neil The 26-yearold Haggart is now looking to serve between 219 and 319 months in prison, or about 18-26 and a half years. According to Dan Donohoe with the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office, prosecutors will recommend 269 months or almost 22 and a half years. “The victim’s family supports the resolution in the case,” he said. Donohoe said they will proceed with sentencing later this month. Haggart’s sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Feb. 19 — one year, seven months and one day after Neil was assaulted — in courtroom W-905 of the King County Courthouse in Seattle. Judge Mary Roberts will be presiding. Donohoe said it is not uncommon for a case like this to have several months to more than a year pass before a resolution is found. He said it varies from case to case, but sometimes one side or the other will request a continuance. Donohoe added that [ more NEIL page 6 ]

RHS to be closed today due to threat written on bathroom wall STAFF REPORT
Redmond High School (RHS) staff contacted Redmond Police Department (RPD) at 11 a.m. on Thursday and reported a threat written on a bathroom wall at the school, according to RPD public information officer Becky Range. The message referred to something possibly happening today. RPD is investigating the incident. “Officers have been
coordinating closely with Lake Washington School District (LWSD) staff to investigate this incident. We are also in communication with Kirkland Police Department (KPD), who are investigating a similar incident that occurred (Tuesday) at Juanita High School (JHS),” Range said. RHS and JHS will be closed today due to the threats, according to a LWSD press release. Futures School, located at
JHS, will also be closed. The threats were specific to these schools: there were no threats to other schools in the district and all other schools will be open. Anyone who has information that may help with the investigation can call RPD at (425) 5562500. “The safety of our students and staff is of paramount importance. Out of an abundance of caution, since we cannot
yet determine the credibility of these threats, we have made the difficult decision to close Juanita High School and Redmond High School on Friday, February 5,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. On Tuesday, a nonspecific threat to JHS was discovered in one of the girls bathrooms referring to today. Since that time, district and school administration have been working closely with the
KPD to investigate the credibility of this threat. Students and staff at both schools will make up the missed school day and an additional day will be added to the school year. All activities and building use have been cancelled at both schools today. The scheduled Kingco wrestling tournaments scheduled for JHS will be rescheduled and relocated. The scheduled diving meet has been moved to the Bellevue
Aquatic Center. Vanisha Nori-Cook, who initially alerted the Reporter about the RHS threat, said: “Some of our children attend Redmond Middle School (6th-8th graders). Several of these students are unnerved by this untoward event. My children’s stepsister attends RHS. She is like a daughter to me. It is not easy on my nerves. I may keep both my children home (today). I am not sure.”
RPD adds Nextdoor social network to connect with the community SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
From email newsletters to social media, the Redmond Police Department (RPD) uses a number of methods as part of its public outreach efforts to connect with the Redmond community. And in the last six months, the department has added one more tool to its communications belt.
Nextdoor is a private social network residents can use to communicate with neighbors on topics ranging from babysitter referrals to suspicious activity in the neighborhood. For RPD, it is just one more way in which police can relay important information to residents. Public information officer Becky Range said with about 3,700 people in Redmond on the net-
by
work, it is just one more way for police to reach people — especially those who do not use Facebook or Twitter, two social networks RPD utilizes to get information out to the community. Prior to partnering with Nextdoor, Range said RPD spoke with the Seattle Police Department, who had been using the network for a while. “It’s a really good crime-watch tool,” she
said. Range describes Nextdoor as a mini Facebook for neighborhoods. It can be accessed via the Internet at www.nextdoor.com as well as a downloadable app for smart phones and tablets. She said residents can establish and self-manage their own Nextdoor website, which are based on neighborhoods. These neighborhood boundaries are usually established by
neighborhood leads, who also work to manage the site, Range said. Each site is different and just depends on how users in the specific network use it, what they want it to look like and what types of posts to allow on their site. “They govern themselves,” Range said about the neighborhood sites. This means everything that happens on any given Nextdoor site is based
on the preferences of its users. “It’s very customizable,” Range said, adding that people can control what types of posts they want to see and not want to see. People can even determine who they want to see their posts — whether that is their specific neighborhood, or the greater Redmond Nextdoor community — and [ more NEXTDOOR page 3 ]

Questions about marijuana for the City Council Washington state is on the cutting edge of marijuana legalization, and discussion of the topic has created a lot of heat in Redmond. For the Planning Commission and City Council, there are several issues to be considered before the council takes action. Here are questions I would like answered before the Planning Commission’s recommendation comes before the council. First, what is the current availability of illegal marijuana in Redmond? The same people who are selling pot to our kids in our neighborhoods today (particularly around schools) are also selling to adults along with other significantly more harmful drugs, and have every incentive to upsell. Can legal marijuana reduce demand in the illicit market by taking away the adult market; reducing the total rewards for drug dealers? Second, what are we legally allowed to do by the state? Zoning is a local matter, but we should have an accurate and up-to-date map illustrating the state minimum buffers and a list of facilities establishing the buffers. I have not seen this. Third, what happened in cities that have allowed growing, processing and retailing of marijuana? Redmond intentionally delayed consideration of adopting buffers to be able to learn from other cities. The Tech Committee report, produced as part of the Planning Commission process, is devoid of data or studies related to these important questions. Has crime increased in the vicinity of marijuana businesses? How has traffic safety been affected? Are neighboring businesses suffering from crime or vandalism? Fourth, what do Redmond citizens want? The city has an online poll they say is designed to find out, but there are a few problems. Of course, there are questions of statistical validity. Is it limited to Redmond residents? Does the survey allow only one response per person? How

gathered data on marijuana businesses. We should use all sources of factual or documented data. Finally, if we do make zoning changes which create an opportunity for marijuana retail in Redmond, at what pace should the change take place? The original allotment for retail in Redmond was two. Subsequently the WSLCB proposed to increase the allotment to four, and is considering further increases. Redmond delayed consideration to gather impacts of experience in other cities. All of that experience is with the original allotments. We need to consider how we allow for future growth in our city. The topic is in the good hands of the Planning Commission, but the buck stops with the City Council. When recommendations come to us, I want to see carefully considered responses made on factual information. At the minimum, the issues above should be documented with research. On such a highly controversial topic, we need to move beyond personal opinion if we are to achieve a result that is legally defensible, honors the wishes of the community and protects our kids.

Communication takes two Gold stars to Mr. Grubb for his letter to the editor of Jan. 22 regarding the communication disconnect between Redmond residents and “the powers that be.” In the same Reporter issue, there was an article about residents of Education Hill forming a group who will act as a bridge between the neighborhood and the city.

do we know that the responses are from adults, and what demographic information is gathered? Redmond voters supported legalizing marijuana by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent. Did the online survey ask if people had changed their mind and why? Unclear and unscientific data are worse than no data. We need to make sure the survey is valid before we use it as a guide. Next, does it make sense to exclude or centralize marijuana uses in particular areas? The Tech Report offers several opinions regarding impact with no supporting evidence. For example, the Tech Report recommends concentrating all marijuana retail in about 1 percent of the city area. How will concentrating all retail trade in one small area of Redmond avoid the crime and property degradation that has gone along with concentrating businesses like this elsewhere? If there are supporting studies, we need to see them. Sixth, when the council considers zoning, we typically look at the demand for products and services in those uses. I have not seen any data related to the adult demand for recreational and medicinal marijuana among Redmond residents. Both the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (WSLCB) and the University of Washington have

ing. I am so upset with the city for completely ignoring the voice of the people, and what that building stood for, and to put up another stupid looking building in its place. I was born and raised in Redmond and have been here for 84 years. I am so disappointed in the city, I don’t care if I ever go to town. All the apartment buildings are so ugly and so over abundant. It’s hard to figure out who is behind all the ridiculous planning of the city. I am really sad to see all this happening to our city.

• The whole country is having marijuana problems and so is Redmond. But should we open stores just because it is legal and cities around us do so, or should we think this issue
from the best interest of this particular city? What is best for a city that has a growing number of school age kids? How will squeezing in marijuana stores impact the community when more elementary schools are needed?
Zhuolin Qian
• Redmond doesn’t need it. There are plenty of out of town shops people can drive to. The tobacco smoke shops in town are already magnets for loiterers. That being said, if the public was guaranteed that people would be kept from hanging around outside, more people would be open to the idea.

The couple is especially grateful to have the RV because there were a few moments when they were on the street when they thought it would only be a matter of days that the state would take away their daughter. It was just a matter of when, not if, Miller said. “My daughter has a home now,” he said through tears as the topic is still an emotional one for him.

This single piece of information has helped Miller and Scott work toward turning their life around and getting back on their feet. Miller, who is originally from Salem, Ore., initially posted on the page, letting people know they were in need of a stroller they could attach to their daughter’s carseat.

This caused them some concern regarding her development because she couldn’t come out of the stroller to play and practice rolling over and other things babies do at her age.

She was also seen as a regular fixture at Soulfood. Following Neil’s death, Soulfood held an event to celebrate her life, the report states. The event was attended by more than 100 people — both those who knew her and those who didn’t know her personally. Since her death, a memorial page was started on Facebook to honor Neil. On the Cara Neil Memorial Page, people have expressed their memories of Neil as well as how much they love and miss her. “I think it was unique how she carried herself,” one person posted about Neil. “I’ve met tons of people and in all this time I only met
emerging and current leaders to eliminate racism and increase equity on the Eastside. Whitfield, who currently serves as the president and CEO of Leadership Eastside, said members join ERLC as individuals, not as representatives of their respective agencies or organizations. Part of ERLC’s work means openly discussing racism and starting a dialogue, which speakers on Wednesday acknowledged is not always easy. “The more you have (discussions on racism), the easier it becomes,” said Redmond resident and ERLC spokesperson Mariama Suwaneh. She said while Redmond is a great place to live, there is still racism here. Suwaneh cited her senior year of high school when she was accepted into several colleges and universities. As some-
one with a mixed black and Mexican American background, she said people would dismiss her achievements and insist she got into those schools for other reasons than hard work. Redmond Mayor John Marchione, who spoke at the event, said since the incident at CoakleySpring’s store last month, the phrase “This is not Redmond” has been repeated over and over by community members. He said this is not correct. Marchione — along with a number of other speakers — said racism in Redmond and the greater Pacific Northwest may manifest in smaller, subtler incidents such as what happened to Suwaneh, but they are still evidence that there is racism here. He said this actually makes it harder to address the issue because subtler occurrences
are easier to dismiss and deny as racism. He said by doing this, people are patronizing those affected and perpetuating the problem. “You can’t solve a problem unless you acknowledge it exists,” Marchione noted.
A COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
On Wednesday, he invited community members to speak up and identify actions they can take to address and end racism. This commitment was illustrated by an art exhibition created by ERLC titled, “Rejecting the Rags of Racism and Living into the Riches of Diversity.” The exhibition’s title is an acknowledgement of what happened at Coakley-Spring’s store last month. Attendees were invited to take part by writing

one other person who was that loyal to friends, psychologically strong, and liked. She represented the good that some of us are afraid to show the world.” Another individual posted how they were recently going through a difficult time and called to talk to Neil about the situation for her advice before realizing what they had done. “But then as (I) sat there listening to the phone ring I (remembered) you wouldn’t answer,” the post reads. “And it felt like a thousands of bricks hit me all at once. I miss you Cara I hope you can hear me when I pray.” In addition, Neil’s family had her organs donated, including her heart, which surgeons were able to repair and harvest for a recipient, despite the fact that it had been damaged from the stabbing, a previous report states.
specific, personal action steps they commit to taking on a piece of colored fabric and connecting that commitment to others’ on an archway — a recognized symbol of peace in the Pacific Northwest that invites all to pass through from one state of being to another. The arch will be on display at Redmond City Hall and then moved to Bellevue City Hall and other Eastside cities throughout February, which is also Black History Month. Coakley-Spring was at a loss of words Wednesday afternoon at seeing such a strong response to what happened to her and her business. Seeing the community come out to support her and her family and show them they want them in Redmond and love them has left her speechless. “It’s overwhelming,” she said. “In a good way.”

to make sure everyone is safe. In addition, everyone looks out for everyone else. Whitlow, who visits with the family on a regular basis, said there is a sense of community among people staying there. Miller and Scott agreed. People share what they can with each other, whether that is tools, the use of their car to run errands during the day, cooking food or the use of a laptop to watch TV shows. Everyone also looks out for each other, keeping an eye on others’ belongings when they are not there. Miller said it is hard enough to be in the position they are in at the moment and to try to get through things alone “ain’t going to happen.” “It takes a whole tribe to get a family off the street,” he said. So in addition to sharing their belongings, Miller said the families also share information on resources and services. He said they know that just because one agency may not be able to help them, there may be someone else the agency could help. Another way in which Miller is contributing to the small community behind the church is by starting a small garden in a plot of dirt in the lot so the people staying there in the future will
SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN THERE
Although Miller was raised to always try to help others, it wasn’t until his family’s experiences in the last few months that he has really found the motivation to do more than volunteering with the Salvation Army. Miller now realizes how difficult it is for someone to try to get their life back together after falling on hard times. Although things are not perfect for his family yet — he has been unable to work due to mental health issues and they are still waiting to receive his disability benefits — this has not stopped Miller from reaching out to others. Whitlow said he is often running around town, helping other people in similar situations to find services and other help. For Miller, his role is obvious. As someone who is working to come out from a tough situation, he said he can help reassure newly homeless parents. In addition to showing them where they can receive the services they need, he can also let them know that their children will not be taken away from them just because they have lost their home — something he would never wish upon any parent. “There’s a real need for somebody who’s been through it,” he said.

Saturday Speaker Series: History of Redmond’s Sammamish Valley News Despite having been stored in a “morgue,” past issues of Redmond’s original hometown newspaper, the Sammamish Valley News — a precursor to the Redmond Reporter — serve as a living history of the city. Jeanne Gustafson, editor of the Redmond Historical Society newsletter, takes a trip back through time via the pages of Redmond’s 30-year newspaper, exploring what the paper can continue to illuminate through images and stories of the town and the people who recorded it. She will speak at 10:30
CITY TO SOON BEGIN BUDGETING PROCESS
Every even year, the city recruits a budget team of community members Redmond’s Budgeting by Priorities (BP) process instituted in 2008. This process was used to develop the city’s last four biennial budgets including setting performance measures for the government services provided. BP has moved the focus of Redmond’s budget activities from one of evaluating budget increments to focusing on programs most valued by residents. The city will soon begin the process again for the 2017-18 biennial

This team will evaluate programs under the city’s six priorities, developed by citizens in 2008: Business Vitality, Clean and Green Environment, Community Building, Infrastructure and Growth, Responsible Government and Safety.

CITY SEEKING INPUT ON BICYCLE STRATEGIC PLAN
The City of Redmond is seeking community input on the Bicycle Strategic Plan, determining which bicycle improvements to build in the next 6-10 years. City staff and a consultant team will host an open house from 5-7:30 p.m. Monday at Redmond City Hall (15670 N.E. 85th St.), with a brief introductory presentation at 5 p.m. and another at 6:30 p.m. The 6-10 year investment horizon will help the city implement bicycle infrastructure

The Sammamish Valley News also served as a launch pad for journalists who have gone on to take the national stage and win Pulitzer prizes for their work. The Saturday Speaker Series is a monthly
program presented by the Redmond Historical Society on every second Saturday from September through May (no program in December). Topics range from local, state and Pacific Northwest historical interest. There is a suggested $5 donation for non-members. The Redmond Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that receives support from the City of Redmond, 4 Culture, Nintendo, the Bellevue Collection, and Happy Valley Grange as well as from other donors and members.

Everyone is invited and RSVPs are encouraged by emailing pbdane@ redmond.gov. The project team will take input from the open house to help generate at least two investment scenarios — each with different investment
levels and projects. These preliminary scenarios will be presented at a second open house (date to be determined) to gather additional community feedback. “Bicycling is an important component of the transportation system and helps provide travel choices,” said Mayor John Marchione. “The Bicycle Strategic Plan will help provide a logical bicycle network with facilities that encourage more residents and employees to live, work, and play by bicycle.” For questions and more information contact Dane at pbdane@redmond. gov or (425) 556-2816.

Bake the cake as the instructions say on the box. Cool it completely. You can just leave it in the baked pan. Crumble it with your bare hands (better still, give this to your little kids, they will enjoy it!) until it is in fine crumbs. Add in the jam and mix well yet gently, kneading until you can roll it into a ball, and extending two opposite ends to resemble a football. If you think it is not moist, add some more milk. Place them on a plate, wrap a plastic wrap around it and let it chill in the fridge for an
hour. Now melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the liquid is warm and smooth, or use a double boiler in a hot water bath. Run the lollipop sticks or mini skewers through on end and set it nearly all the way. Dip the cake end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate/candy and turn, to coat them evenly. Stick the coated pops on Styrofoam, do this to all the cake balls and let them set in a cool place. Melt the white chocolate and pour them into a plastic bag. Decorate the pops with white lines to resemble a football. Let it set. Devour. Enjoy!

Tony Daniel will headline the next show, set for 8 p.m. Feb. 20 at 14950 N.E. 95th St., Redmond. Manny Martin will also perform. The show has sold out every month so far; $10 advance tickets are available online at http://
bpt.me/2492439 and in the taproom. Growing up in rural North Carolina, Daniel learned that the line between tragedy and comedy is blurred at best. As a barefoot youth, he found that the best remedy for a stubbed toe was a quick wit and a hearty laugh. A US Navy veteran, Daniel takes pride in performing for the armed forces. He has opened for The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dave Attell,
Patrice O’Neal, and Alonzo Bodden. His material can regularly be heard on Sirius Radio’s The Jamie Foxx show. Martin, known for his high energy, silliness and likeability, has opened for some of the top comedians in the country. He hosts the weekly Comic Search open mic at The Parlor Live comedy club in Bellevue and performs weekly all over the Seattle area.

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is seeking potential authors for the voter’s pamphlet statements opposing the Lake Washington School District bond measure that will appear on the April 26 ballot. Election regulations require LWSD to solicit members to “pro” and “con” committees who want to write statements for the local voters’ pamphlet. Since there is an organized promotional campaign committee, the Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee, the district has asked that organization to name the three individuals who will serve on the “pro” committee. The district is solicit-
ing members for the “con” committee for the voter’s pamphlet. If you would like the district to consider you for appointment to the committee that will be asked to write a statement in opposition, please email your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address to Diane Jenkins, djenkins@lwsd.org, no later than Feb. 15. The district expects the school board will take final action to name the committees officially, assuming volunteers step forward, on Feb. 22. Complete information on the bond measure, including all projects, is available on the district website at www.lwsd.org.

BECOME A LINKS VOLUNTEER TODAY AT LWSD SCHOOLS Submitted by Lake Washington School District One hour per week can impact a student’s ability to achieve success in school One person. One hour per week. That’s all that it took to give one fourth-grade student in Lake Washington School District (LWSD) the confidence to believe in herself. With that confidence came improved grades. “My lunch buddy made my life happier by giving me things I always wanted,” said the fourth-grade student. “She comforts me when I doubt myself. She is a good friend. She makes me believe in myself to do the homework. My grades have gone up a bit since having a lunch buddy. I think everybody should have a lunch buddy because it is good to have a lot of friendship.” Do you have an hour a week to spare? There are currently 28 LWSD students waiting to be matched with a lunch buddy. That means 28 students have been identified
as needing an adult mentor in their lives. Can you be that mentor? LWSD’s LINKS Volunteer program is seeking volunteers to help students achieve success in school. You can share the gift of your time in the following ways: Be a lunch buddy: LINKS lunch buddies are matched with a student and meet with them one day each week during the student’s lunch hour. Volunteers bring their own lunch and meet the student in a designated area. Most schools have fun games the volunteer and student can play together. Many lunch buddies report that it is the best hour of their week. Be an academic mentor: Academic mentors are carefully matched with a student at the

to benefit students. Be a tutor: Tutoring provides academic support to a student or a group of students, typically focusing on one subject such as reading or math. Some tutoring options take place in a classroom or during an after school study program in an assigned area at a school. Make a difference in a school near you by becoming a LINKS volunteer! To learn more about LINKS volunteer opportunities, visit the LINKS page on the LWSD website, www.lwsd.org. To register for an upcoming volunteer orientation, email Nanci Wehr at nwehr@lwsd.org or call (425) 936-1410.

elementary, middle or high school level. This volunteer opportunity takes place during the school day or on site after school. The timeframe can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. Core classes are often the subjects students need extra help with and include math, reading, writing, and science. Be a classroom helper: Classroom helpers usually help several students each week. Volunteer opportunities vary depending on the needs of the students. The most common subject areas include reading, writing, math and science. Volunteers work closely with school staff to determine how their personal strengths can best be used in the classroom
