Letter writer misrepresents charter schools
Ms. Marilyn Bentz’ recent letter to the editor regarding the charter schools initiative could not be a more blatant misrepresentation of charter schools.
First, she refers to them as “private” schools. Nonsense. Charter schools are public schools, operated within a public school district, funded by existing public tax dollars on a per-pupil basis, and accountable to public school boards for results.
Second, Ms. Bentz states that
“improving education could be undertaken within the existing system.” Unfortunately the con-tinuing stranglehold the teachers unions have on the current system makes that unlikely. Because of union-driven policies that are more concerned with job security, seniority-based layoffs and equal pay regardless of merit, a quality education for our kids has become a secondary consideration. Time and time again, common sense reforms are blocked by the unions through acquiescent legislators and school boards.
Charter schools provide hope for change. While part of the local school district, their special charter
allows them greater independence than traditional public schools. They operate independently from the local district, free from regulations that dictate curriculum. Nor are they bound by ineffective teacher hiring and firing processes that give us what we have now, where good teachers are paid way too little and bad teachers are paid way too much. Teachers are given an opportunity to be innovative in the classroom. New approaches to learning are evaluated. Educators, no longer suffocated by bureaucracy, have the freedom to inspire students.
Finally, Ms. Bentz implies that the current school system is a target of elitists who “would exploit our
societal dilemmas for their own purposes.” Hogwash!
Charter schools are not only voluntary and open to all, they are designed to serve mainly low-income and/or at-risk students for whom the existing “one size fits all” approach is an ongoing failure. Nationally, a majority of all charter schools have a minority popula-tion of more than 40 percent — not exactly an enclave for elitists.
Charter schools have a proven success record in 41 states, includ-ing all states west of the Rockies except Washington.
I encourage all Reporter readers to make us the 42nd. Roger Trepanier, Redmond
Don’t miss out on the Derby Days festivitiesRedmond’s annual summer extravaganza is ready to
rock — and roll through town.This weekend, the Redmond Derby Days Summer
Festival — highlighted by a spirited, downtown parade and the nation’s longest-standing bicycle race — will be in full force.
You would be a fool to miss this long-standing, fun-filled event, which is in its 72nd year.
This year’s Derby Days will begin tonight, continue Satur-day and conclude Sunday at various locations in downtown Redmond.
Attending this wonderful community event is an op-portunity for neighbors to connect with one another while enjoying the great outdoors.
Derby Days has a little something for everyone.The festival kicks off tonight with Friday Night Live, a free
concert featuring Hit Explosion with Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Down Band.
The entertainment continues on Saturday at the Microsoft Entertainment Stage on the lawn at City Hall with an all-day lineup of bands and entertainment, including Beatles tribute band Creme Tangerine and Neil Diamond tribute band, Super Diamond.
Of course the big events will be Saturday with the Kids
Parade at 10 a.m. and the Grand Parade at 11 a.m., featuring all the fine fixings of a hometown parade.
It wouldn’t be Derby Days without the Redmond Crite-rium, the nation’s longest-running bicycle race. The nine-race lineup starts at 1:15 p.m. and concludes at 7 p.m. with the men’s Pro 1-2 race. And enjoy the fun of carnival rides at a new location at City Hall campus tonight and tomorrow.
If you didn’t get enough fireworks on the Fourth of July, stay for the fireworks finale Saturday night at 10 p.m. at City Hall.
New this year are Sunday activities in honor of the city’s centennial celebration. The day will begin with the Derby Dash 5K run/walk along the Sammamish River Trail, now in its third year, to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. There will also be a Sunday Concert in the Park at Downtown Park featuring local “X Factor” finalist LeRoy Bell.
Unless you are out of town, there’s no reason to miss Derby Days.
Don’t be a party pooper, come out and enjoy the fun with your neighbors — you won’t regret it.
Every four years, in addition to electing a governor to serve as
our state’s chief executive, the people of Washington are called upon to elect several other officers to fill out our state’s executive de-partment, which includes the offices of lieutenant governor, treasurer, auditor, attorney general, superintendent of public instruc-tion, commissioner of public lands, insurance commissioner and secre-tary of state.
This year, for only the second time since the state’s centennial, no incumbent secretary of state is seeking reelection, which means it’s up to us to choose a new leader to oversee elections and record keeping.
Several individuals are seeking the job: State Sen. Jim Kastama, Greg Nickels, the former mayor of Seattle, former State Sen. Kathleen Drew, and Thurston County Audi-tor Kim Wyman, as well as three
candidates who don’t associate with either of the two major political parties - David Anderson, Sam Wright and Karen Murray.
Only two of these seven candi-dates will move on from the Aug. 7 winnowing election to the general election in November. Wyman is expected to be one of the two because she is the lone Republi-can, but Democratic voters have three candidates to choose from. The Washington state Democratic Party is coalescing around Kathleen Drew, who successfully sought and
received the state party’s nomina-tion last month in Seattle, but Nick-els and Kastama are still campaign-ing actively for the job.
Here’s a quick introduction to each of the major candidates.
Kim Wyman has served as Thur-ston County Auditor since 2001, when Sam Reed left to become Washington’s current secretary of state. Prior to becoming auditor, she served the people of Thurston County as elections manager. She

When people think of the USO, many think of entertainment and the stage shows that have li� ed the spirits of troops in combat and remote military locations around the world. And while entertainment has been and continues to be a valuable service provided by the USO, it is only a small part of the many programs and services provided by this nonpro� t organization.
Since 1941 the USO, United Service Organizations, has been supporting American troops and their families in a multitude of ways. � is is why QFC is proud to support the great work of the USO by making it our Charity of the Month for July.
Just about wherever the U.S. military goes, the USO is also there trying to help make the lives of our troops a little bit better. � ree of the services that the USO provides to troops in remote locations are Care Packages, MEGS and USO in a Box.
Care package items are purchased directly from or donated by manufacturers and are purchased using donations. � e USO works
closely with the Department of Defense to distribute packages. MEGS stands for Mobile Entertainment Gaming System. It is a highly durable, easy-to-assemble and disassemble multimedia platform that troops can use to play video games. It supports up to four players and can be set up wherever soldiers are stationed. USO in a Box is small, 250-square-foot portable building that can accommodate up to 20 troops. It has heat or air conditioning for whatever environment it is in and holds features such as Internet access, two rugged laptops, four � at screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone and more.
Another valuable service is USO Centers. � ere are over 160 USO Centers in countries around the world where thousands of troops and their families can come to relax, contact loved ones back home, get something to eat and take advantage of various USO programs and services. � ese centers are o� en the � rst support stop for wounded, ill or injured servicemen and women and their families before returning to the U.S.
Back here in the U.S., the USO is constructing two warrior and family centers -- one at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and one in Fort Belvoir, Va. as part of Operation Enduring Care. � e program’s goal is to provide physical and emotional support and to help troops restore their wounded lives in a warm and caring environment.
Unfortunately, not every military member returns home alive. When troops die outside the U.S., the USO has a program to help their loved ones called Families of the Fallen. � e bodies of those who have died
overseas are � own to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and many families travel there to witness the return. � e USO works with families to expedite the travel process to Dover, supports the families’ on-site needs, and introduces parents, spouses, peers and children to special programs to help cope with their grief when they return home.
� e USO stands an exemplary organization that is making a di� erence in the lives of thousands of troops and their families. If you would like to support their e� orts we invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand. � ank you for your support!

lists her priorities as maintain-ing voter confidence in elections, providing innovative solutions to reduced funding, ensuring open and accessible government and delivering meaningful election results earlier. Not surprisingly, she is endorsed by three previous Republican secretar-ies of state (Republicans have held the office since the 1960s) along with many of her fellow county auditors. Her website is www.kimwyman.com.
Kathleen Drew has been involved in Washington State government for more than two decades. In the 1990s, she represented the 5th Leg-islative District in the state Senate, where she authored Washington’s Ethics in Public Service Law. More recently, she worked in Gov. Chris Gregoire’s office, advising Gregoire on elections issues and facilitating a dialogue between Gregoire and incumbent Secretary Sam Reed. She lists her priorities as ensuring impartial and fair elections, stream-lining services and increasing com-munity and civic engagement. On the campaign trail, she has spoken out strongly against restrictive voter identification laws, which Republi-cans have pushed through in other states. She also favors speeding up the transferring of documents from printed or analog formats to digital to save money. Her website is www.kathleendrew2012.com.
Greg Nickels has a long history of public service in Washington state. Prior to his current campaign, he served two terms as mayor of Seattle and more than three terms as a member of the King County Council. Though his most recent campaign (for a
third term as mayor of Seattle) ended with an early loss in the win-nowing election, Nickels says he is ready for a new challenge. He lists his priorities as protecting the integ-rity of the initiative process, increas-ing voter participation, taking the money out of politics and promoting job growth and small business. If elected, he promises to “work to try and curb the influence of special in-terests in our elections.” His website is www.gregnickels.com.
Jim Kastama currently serves as one of Washington’s 49 state sena-tors, representing the 25th District (Puyallup area). First elected to the state House in 1996, he moved up to the Senate in 2000 when Calvin Goings retired and chaired the Government Operations & Elec-tions Committee during the 2005 legislative session. More recently, he acquired some notoriety for helping Republicans temporarily take control of the state Senate to push through a controversial bud-get proposal. Kastama says his goal is to have “the best run secretary of state office in the country and to prove it to you.” He lists his priori-ties as increasing voter confidence and thoughtfully navigating the coming shifts in elections. His web-site is www.jimkastama.com

Hopelink and Fu-turewise have received a $20,000 federal grant to help ensure that tradition-ally underserved commu-nities are engaged in the planning and development process for Sound Transit’s East Link corridor project.
The 14-mile line will connect Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Red-mond beginning in 2023.
The funding – through the Growing Transit Communities Equity Grant Program – will help community organizers lay the groundwork to educate and involve low-
income families, people of color and immigrant and refugee communities. The funding also will pilot test a grassroots strategy to reach out to under-served communities near the Overlake stations and update them about East Link corridor planning efforts and existing transit options, while also encour-aging them to become involved in the process.
Hopelink will receive $15,000 directly and serve as the fiscal sponsor for another $5,000 awarded to Futurewise, a statewide public interest group work-
ing to promote healthy communities and cities while protecting farmland, forests and shorelines to-day and for future genera-tions. Also included in the partnership are the cities of Redmond and Bellevue.
The Growing Transit Communities partnership is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program. For more informa-tion about Growing Transit Communities, visit: http://www.psrc.org/growth/grow ing-transit-communities.
On July 25, the Seattle City Club will hold a 1st Congressional debate in Red-mond beginning at 11:30 a.m.
The debate will be in the Rainier Room at the Microsoft Conference Center, Building 33 at 16070 N.E. 36th Way. The event is free and a box lunch will be provided. Registration will be from 11:30 a.m. to noon and the program will begin at noon.
Moderated by Joni Balter from The Seattle Times, the debate will feature six of the seven candidates in the race: Demo-crats Darcy Burner, Suzan DelBene, Steve Hobbs, Darshan Rauniyar and Laura Ru-derman and Republican John Koster. The remaining candidate is Independent Larry Ishmael, who will not be at the debate.

— or one of his supporters — is responsible for a mis-leading “push poll,” which attempts to influence voter opinion under the guise of conducting an impartial survey without saying who is paying for the campaign messages.
Both candidates deny responsibility for the poll, which asked provocative and suggestive questions about both candidates, according to 48th District voters who have received the lengthy, non-automated phone survey.
Myers is concerned that the push poll, which makes negative insinuations against both candidates, will lead to personal attack ads.
“We are tying to establish a record with the PDC that this has happened,” Myers said of the poll, which he believes is being conducted by the same firm that alleg-edly conducted a push poll on behalf of an Eastside Democrat in 2010. “It’s a sleazy-type campaign.”
Habib, a Bellevue at-torney, said that Myers’ push-poll accusations are a distraction tactic and added that he plans to also file a complaint with the PDC concerning Myers’ failure to comply with PDC deadlines.
“My opponent has missed several disclosure deadlines since commenc-ing his campaign in May and I do intend to follow up with the PDC to ensure that he is aware of and complies with the law,” Habib said. “I certainly think it’s possible that he and his support-ers want to distract voters’ attention away from the fact that the mayors of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Medina have all endorsed me over my opponent and that even a majority of his own colleagues on the Redmond City Council have chosen to endorse me over him.”
Myers said he has re-solved his issues with filing his reports to the PDC and said all of his reports are current and up to date.
As of Wednesday, Habib has raised $155,100 and spent nearly $40,000, while Myers has raised $16,347 and spent nothing, accord-ing to the PDC website.
Myers, along with the King County Republi-can Party, is convinced that Habib was somehow financially involved in last month’s push poll phone survey of voters in the 48th District, which includes Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland.
HARD TO FIGURE OUTIt is difficult to decipher
who is behind the poll, according to voters who received the phone survey.
Former longtime Redmond City Council member Richard Cole, who retired last December, said he received the call from a person who asked questions and made positive and negative insinuations about both candidates.
“It was so balanced with pluses and minuses on each side,” Cole said. “I have no idea which party paid for it.”
Cole said the phone call-er made several “blatantly untrue, outrageous” claims against both candidates, making it a “distinct possi-bility that neither candidate knew about it.”
Cole, who is working for the campaign of Democrat Laura Ruderman in the 1st District Congressional race, says he is staying neutral in this race because of his past work with Myers on the Redmond City Council.
When asked if the poll could be funded by a third party, Myers said “these are not cheap polls. What third party would benefit from this?”
The survey asked questions about Habib’s Iranian-American ethnicity, triggering one Redmond Reporter reader to write a letter to the editor that said the poll started out “merely insulting to candidate Cyrus Habib, then became viciously racist.” The let-ter writer wrote that she believed the poll was being done on Myers’ behalf.
Another 48th District voter who received the phone survey responded to that letter a week later with a letter to the editor and said he got “the impression it was paid for by the Cyrus Habib and/or a Democratic group.”
“I thought there were more negative questions concerning Hank Myers than for Cyrus Habib,” including one question that falsely insinuated that Myers did not pay his taxes, the letter writer wrote. The letter went on to say that “the poll went on way too long and based on the large amount of questions you could make anything you want out of the poll.”
GOP, DEM PARTIES DENY INVOLVEMENT
Myers said he believes the poll is being conducted by Mountain West Research, an Idaho-based firm that was fined in 2010 for a push poll that was affiliated with a Democrat Senate candi-date in New Hampshire.
The King County Re-publican Party, which also
denied responsibility for the poll, issued a press release Monday, saying Mountain West is the same firm that used a push poll for Demo-crat Marcie Maxwell in her 2010 election in the 41st Legislative District, which includes Mercer Island, Bel-levue and Sammamish.
“The same company used the same unethical tactic in 2010 for another Eastside Democrat,” King County Republican Party chairwoman Lori Sotelo said in the press release. “Cyrus Habib is simply the latest Democrat to use this sleazy tactic that is used to illegally spread false rumors without having to include a disclaimer saying who paid for it. It is clear that Habib knows who is doing this.”
Habib said he had noth-ing to do with the poll.
“I didn’t authorize nor do I condone push polling,” Habib said. “I am not aware of any push polls from sup-porters and would urge any supporter to not engage in such activity. I feel strongly, as I hope my opponent does as well, that moving our state forward on educa-tion, transportation and job growth should be the focus of this race, not insinuations regarding my ethnicity.”
The King County Demo-crat Party was also not respon-sible for the poll, according to the party’s communications and technology chairman Andrew Villeneuve.
“Our view is that people who pay for push polls are wasting their money,” Villeneuve said. “If you’re trying to do legitimate opinion research, you have to ask neutral questions, otherwise the answers you get will be of no use.”
Mountain West officials did not respond to Report-er’s attempts for comment.
If either candidate was responsible for the poll, it will come out July 17, the next PDC filing deadline, according to PDC spokes-woman Lori Anderson. Any campaign spending must be itemized and reported to the PDC each month. Donations must be reported on a weekly basis. Donations and spending for all the state races can be found at pdc.wa.gov.
Myers admitted that it will be hard to prove Habib was responsible for the poll, but he still plans to file a complaint.
“If someone is lying I want them to be exposed,” Myers said. “I am really of-fended by this.”
Habib said he will also be following up with the PDC on the push-poll issue.

He’d said the volume of outgo-ing mail has decreased signifi-cantly during the last few years and the USPS has excess space in many of their facilities.
City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione said for the USPS to leave down-town at a time when the downtown core is growing makes no sense.
“Having a community-based downtown post office is essential for a thriving community,” he said. “Resi-dents and businesses depend on counter assistance, P.O. box access, shipping and mailing both locally and overseas, pick up of held mail as well as large-size packages and other services.”
Marchione said in ad-dition to the downtown business core, the current location serves residents from other neighborhoods, including Education Hill, Bear Creek, Sammamish Valley and Grass Lawn.
“The Southeast Redmond site is not convenient for the majority of residents or businesses and is not on any bus routes or within walking distance,” he said.
The USPS had previously been looking at a new down-town location at 8215 160th Ave. N.E., but Swanson said they “made a determination that it just didn’t make good business sense” with the USPS’s continuing financial issues to lease a new location when there was an existing
post office within two miles.While there is no new
downtown post office loca-tion at the moment, Swanson said USPS is soliciting down-town businesses regarding the possibility of a contract postal unit (CPU), which is a post office within a commer-cial business. He said CPUs offer all the services of a standalone post office except for post office box rentals.
CPUs are typically lo-cated within grocery stores, drugstores, stationary stores or hardware stores.
“Could be any number of things,” Swanson said about possible businesses.
He said in order to support a CPU, a business would need about 100 square feet of available space and be open during certain hours. Swan-son said one of the benefits of housing a CPU is that the commercial business would receive a percentage of the profits the CPU makes. He said another benefit is that it would bring in customers.
“You can do your grocery shopping (before or after
visiting the post office),” he said, giving an example.
Swanson said there are no CPUs currently in Red-mond and the nearest ones are in Kirkland.

Book signing in Bellevue to feature
redmond authorOn July 14, Redmond resident
Corry Lee will be at the Barnes & Noble at 15600 N.E. 8th St., #Q1
at Crossroads Mall in Bellevue for a book signing for “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future, Volume 28.” The
book signing will be from 2-4 p.m. Lee is one of 12 writers
who have been recognized by the L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest and is
featured in this year’s anthology. Writers of the Future is a
writing competition for new and amateur science fiction and fantasy writers of new
short stories and novelettes. The contest was started in
1983 to help aspiring writers break into the industry. Writers
are honored four times a year and Lee received third place in March 2011 for her short story “Shutdown,” a military science
fiction story that takes place in the far future and features a
ballerina heroine.

“Conjunction Junction.” Shows will be Friday and Saturday at 7
p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. To purchase tickets, which
are $15 for general admission, visit secondstoryrep.org.
This summer, the City of Redmond will hold a series of events at Downtown Park
to encourage residents to utilize the new space.
Located at 16101 Redmond Way, the three-quarter acre patch of grass is now open to the public but goes mostly unused save for the oc-casional dogs and their owners out for a walk, said City of Redmond senior park planner B. Sanders.
But starting this weekend, she said the city hopes to bring people to the park with “Sundays in the Park,” a five-week series of activity-filled afternoons that will include live music and old-fashioned lawn games such as badminton, croquet, bocce ball and even a giant chess board. With the exception of this weekend, all of the weekly events will be from 1-3 p.m.
This Sunday’s event — which kicks off the series and closes Derby Days — will be from 4-8 p.m. and feature local “X Factor” finalist, LeRoy Bell, a rhythm and blues musician.
The following weeks’ entertain-
ment will include local perform-ers from the Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) on July 22, Sophisti-cated Big Band from the Redmond Senior Center (RSC) on July 29, “Junior Voices” from the Redmond Academy of Theatre Arts on Aug. 5 and MoJo, a jazz band from the RSC, on Aug. 12.
Sanders said city officials worked to get a variety of performers that would appeal to all demographics.
“A lot of it is to help get people acquainted with the new space,” she said about the series.
Clint McCune, who co-owns SoulFood Books in downtown and serves as the chair of the city’s Arts Commission, said Downtown Park is also a more centralized and visible location for performing arts events. He said they hope Sundays
With a number of new busi-nesses opening in the last couple of years, Bear Creek Village in Redmond has received a much-needed boost since its once-vacant days a few years ago.
One of the latest items in the shopping center — which is located in the 17000-17200 blocks between Avondale Way and Redmond Way — to receive a makeover has been the tower on the Redmond Way side of the plaza.
Steve Emery of Colliers Inter-national in Seattle, the property management company oversee-ing Bear Creek Village, said in addition to bringing in new busi-nesses, they wanted to enhance what they already had.
He said the old tower struc-ture, which resembled a clock tower but wasn't a clock tower, was deteriorating and needed to be remodeled and updated. Emery added that while coming up with concepts for the tower's new look, they wanted to tie in Bear Creek and include some sort of water element to the art installation.
The result is a structure about 30 feet tall with eight-inch wide strips of swirling steel to re-semble flowing water. While the blue steel strips are new, the piece uses the tower's existing base and four corner pillars.
"We wanted to try and use it instead of tearing it down," Emery said.
The planning for the new installation, which should be complete by the middle of this month, began in March.
But before this piece was designed, Bear Creek Village's signage was updated.
Franklin Ng — an associate principal with Kirkland-based Freiheit & Ho Architects, the firm hired for the remodel — said like the tower installation, they wanted to tie the new signs back to Bear Creek. The com-plex's three new signs (two on Avondale Way, one on Redmond Way) now feature a silhouette of a bear and will be lit to enhance their visibility from the street.
Ng said Freiheit & Ho mainly works in commercial architecture with the occasional re-imaging and rebranding work, but this was the first time his firm has done an art installation.
He said one of the challenges of the project was coming up with a concept that captured the essence of Bear Creek Village

that would enhance the quality and overall feel of the center.
"The funnest part is to just see it all come togeth-er," Ng said about the proj-ect reaching its completion. "It's always nice to see your work become real."
In addition to Freiheit & Ho, R P Art in Seattle worked on the fabrication for the tower installa-tion and CS Sign Corp in Bellevue and Vancouver Sign Group worked on the design and fabrication for the complex's new signs.
Emery said work on Bear Creek Village began with new businesses such as Ross, Ulta and Sport Clips and has also included
landscaping throughout the plaza, which began in fall of 2011.
"We've completely re-landscaped the entire site outside the perimeter," he said.
Emery added that they will also work on enhanc-ing the buildings with new paint jobs to create a more cohesive and uniform look throughout the complex.
Bear Creek Village has almost reached full oc-cupancy and only has two vacancies at the moment — a 720 square-foot space and a 2,900 square-foot space.
"And at that point, we'll be 100 percent occupied," Emery said, adding that it speaks well for the center to have a full parking lot.
in the Park will also serve as a catalyst to cultivate the local arts scene and show residents they don’t have to go beyond their backyards to find talented performers.
McCune said the Sunday series is part of an effort to expand the arts through-out Redmond. In the past, most events such as Arts in the Parks have been at City Hall but this year, the Arts Commission has partnered with other groups in the city such as Redmond Town Center, which will host Friday evening con-certs this summer previ-ously held at City Hall. There will still be Arts in the Parks noon concerts at City Hall on Thursdays.
“Now our venue is the city,” McCune said about their thought process re-garding arts programming in the community. “It is safe to be creative within the
bounds of Redmond.”McCune credits this
to Parks Director Craig Larsen, who he said sees the whole picture and realizes the arts are just as important as keeping lawns mowed and trails clean.
In addition to highlight-ing the park and the arts, Sanders said the city will set up a booth at Sundays in the Park to gather public feedback on Downtown Park’s future and what residents want to see done with the space, which will expand eastward and stop about halfway between Brown Street and Leary Way Northeast. The total size of the park, once com-plete, will be two acres.
“One day, it’s going to be a really fun urban park,” Sanders said.
Sanders, who lives in the Bear Creek neighborhood, said personally, some things she would like to see in the park are an ornamental garden, fountain and smaller
pockets throughout the park where people can gather.
“I guess I’d like to see a space that’s really beautiful with some unique features,” she said.
Sanders said all of the property within the proposed park’s boundaries has been purchased and some tenants have already relocated. Oth-ers will be moving out soon and she said the goal is to have all buildings vacated by the end of the year.
The city still needs fund-ing to develop the park, but Sanders said they hope to do some low-cost interim prep work and enhance-ments with the land to get the site ready for what’s to come.
One enhancement that appeared this morning was red bistro chairs and tables on the sidewalks along 161st Avenue Northeast and Cleveland Street, which Sanders said people will be able to move around and gather informally.

In the 10 years they have known each other, Adam Chambers has never seen Clint McCune angry.
Chambers said McCune, co-owner of SoulFood Books in Redmond, has a friendly disposition that belies the hotheadedness many people assume comes with having red hair.
“I would expect him to have a temper,” Chambers said about McCune.
The more Chambers thought about this, the more interesting the Bothell resident thought it would be to see McCune get mad.
From these thoughts came the script for “Broth-er” — a short film of about 10 minutes Chambers wrote in early May about a rude, belligerent and im-
posing man filled with rage.McCune will play the
role of the angry man. He said despite being involved in drama while attending Woodinville High School and studying acting and theater at the University of Evansville in Indiana, he has spent the last 10 years performing music rather than acting. So he was “excited to stretch those (acting) muscles” when Chambers approached him with the idea for “Brother.”
McCune, who lives in Redmond, is aware of the contrast between himself and the character and said a lot of it comes from his life: He loves his neighborhood, his job and the role he plays in the local community.
“I like to stay positive,” he said. “There really isn’t a reason to be angry.”
Although this is mostly true for McCune, he admits that recent events have given him a reason to rage.
In the last month Mc-Cune lost his best friend David Barnhart — a woodcarver he described as a “Redmond staple” — to cancer. McCune said his grief is reflected in his latest music and he is actually looking forward to using “Brother” as another vehicle to express himself.
“It’ll be fueled by (my grief),” he said about the acting job ahead of him.
McCune said part of be-ing an artist is timing and although it is important to have the technical skill set, the quality of work is usually higher when you work with raw emotions and things are not forced. He added that artists tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves more as well and that can inspire
others to do the same.In addition to act-
ing again, McCune said another reason he agreed to the project was his close relationship with Cham-bers. The two have worked together in the past on putting together musical performances and he said he knows Chambers’ work will have a sense of truth and integrity.
One example of this is the fact that Chambers, who has worked on various independent film projects in the past, plans to shoot the movie on Super 8 celluloid film rather than go digital.
“Anything worth doing usually is not easy,” he said about the more time-con-suming process that comes with using film.
Chambers, who works under the pen name of “Captain Chambers,” said he will transfer it to a digital format after filming and edit it that way as well. He added that using Super 8 is also more expensive and half of his expenses will go toward just purchasing the film.
Because of this, SoulFood Books, located at 15748 Redmond Way downtown, is holding a fundraiser on Saturday from 8-10 p.m. to help Chambers pay for the film. He said his goal is to raise about $1,000.
Saturday’s event will fea-ture all avenues of creativity, Chambers said, including short films, musicians, danc-ers and poetry readings.
“I’m not charging anybody,” he said about an entry fee. “It’s a suggested donation.”
There will also be a silent auction with various items including artwork and spe-cial original gift packages Chambers has put together from his previous film projects.
Chambers said he hopes to keep the momentum on “Brother” going and begin filming this summer.

DO YOUR TEETH MATCH YOUR SKIN?We are all at least somewhat familiar with any number of invasive and non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures (ranging from laser skin rejuvenation to face-lifts) that are popular among those wishing to eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, and surface imperfections. As effective as these treatments and procedures are, their effect can be undermined by teeth that are decidedly less youthful-looking. The good news is that dentists also perform an array of cosmetic procedures that can make anyone’s smile as perfect as his or her skin. Such procedures include simple, non-invasive professional tooth whitening and bonding, which cover imperfections and � ll cracks with tooth-colored resin. More ambitious procedures range from the placement of porcelain veneers to full crown and dental implants.
While the goal of cosmetic dentistry may be to improve the look of a smile, utilizing permanent bridges, implants, or dentures may also improve function, which can have a big impact on overall health.
If you would like to know more about how you can enhance your smile, we would be happy to offer you a FREE CONSULTATION at NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY. We’ll help you decide the best cosmetic approach that will work for you. Located in the Forest Of� ce Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, near the Microsoft Main Campus in Bellevue, we welcome you to call 425.641.4111.

When state Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, announced that he would be running for Congress in the 1st District, his intentions were to go to Washington D.C. and help change the culture.
“It was a great opportunity since I live in the district,” said Goodman, who is seek-ing a fourth term in the 45th District. “All my family and supporters told me to go for it. But there was a reason I hesitated for a month.”
Goodman’s original ap-prehensions won out in the end as he dropped his bid after nearly a year of cam-paigning and fundraising.
“You spend 95 percent of your time raising money and 5 percent on issues,” said Goodman of running for national office. “I still do believe I would make a difference.”
But the amount of money needed to run for Congress also helped Goodman to
make up his mind. He said he was at a fundraiser just off the grounds of the state capital and missed a legislative vote.
“That was the moment when I felt my obligation to the legislature,” said Goodman.
When former Microsoft executive Suzan DelBene entered the race, Goodman said he knew it would be an uphill battle.
“It is tough to be compet-itive when there is a multi-millionaire in the race,” said Goodman, who is running for Pos. 1 against Kirkland resident and Democrat Jacob Bond and Republican Joel Hussey of Redmond.
The biggest reason Good-man decided to run again for the 45th District is that he feels like Olympia is get-ting things done.
“It is despairing what is happening at the fed-eral level,” said Goodman. “People can’t even look each other in the eye.”
And while his opponents say Olympia is broken, Goodman points to the tough budget negotiations of the past few years.
“We got it done without major cuts to education or
many of the safety nets that are in place,” said Good-man. “I think we have done a great job.”
Goodman said his own record is one of accomplish-ment. During his six years in office, Goodman has introduced or had a part in submitting 123 bills, with 68 enacted. That is the highest rate of any legislator in the state. Of those bills, 44 had his name on it.
Goodman takes issue with Hussey’s criticism that more business people need to run for office and that the state needs to be run like a business.
“What we need is expe-rienced legislators who are sensitive to the business community’s needs,” said
Goodman. “I think in the last six years I have demonstrated that I listen and respond.”
Goodman is just one of nine in the state legislature who have a law degree.
He is outspoken about the decriminalization of marijuana. He has put that knowledge to use in Olympia, helping to reform domestic violence, DUI and wage garnishment laws. He put forth four new DUI laws, three of which were signed into law.
“We have made tre-mendous progress with expanding the use of igni-tion interlock systems,” said Goodman. “Because of our legislation, there have been 20 percent less deaths in DUI accidents.”
Goodman said the laws give those convicted of DUIs the ability to drive without being able to drive drunk, or more commonly, drive illegally with a sus-pended license. Goodman helped to get DUI vehicular homicide laws changed after Kirkland resident
Steve Lacey was killed last summer by a drunk driver on Northeast 85th.
“That could have been me. I take that route all the time,” said Goodman, who wants to meet Steve’s widow Nabila Lacey someday. “Steve’s friends and family came to me for help.”
The only DUI law that did not pass was to impose child support from con-victed DUI homicides for victims.
Domestic violence has been tougher for the legisla-ture to act upon.
“You can’t reach in and stop it, you can only re-spond,” said Goodman.
The help has come with education and more dedi-cated police department domestic violence units.
If given a fourth term, Goodman hopes to shift his focus.
“There will be a lot of turnover and I will rise in leadership,” said Goodman, who wants to chair the Community and Economic Development Committee.
“I want to focus on business development. I want to meet more with chambers of com-merce and businesses. What is legislating about other than supporting the commu-nities and businesses?”
He also foresees having to deal with more global crises: “We are going to have to adapt to food crises and continue to expand clean energy.”
But one of the most important things for Good-man is education. With a young child in preschool he has immersed himself in the topic and is try-ing to make changes. He helped get a law passed that would make preschool an entitlement. The law will take effect in 2018, but it has to be funded. He cites studies that show kids who go through preschool have more productive lives than those who do not.
“I want every kid to have the same chance as my kid,” said Goodman.

45TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT, POS. 1: JOEL HUSSEY
ILONA IDLIS
For the Reporter
Redmond businessman Joel Hussey is out to fix the state’s budget.
The first-time politician is running for Pos. 1 in the 45th Legislative District to bring some “business sense” to Olympia’s growing debt disasters.
Hussey, a Republican, will challenge three-term incumbent Roger Good-man and political new-comer Jacob Bond, both Democrats from Kirkland.
“The numbers keep get-ting bigger and bigger. And the structural problems in the system are getting larger and larger,” lamented Hussey, who is CEO and president of the Redmond-based aircraft leasing company Tailwind Capital. “The longer you wait, the harder they are to fix. At some point you gotta quit complaining to your friends and step up and do something about it.”
A lifelong Washington resident with two decades in the aviation industry, Hussey is well versed in the art of budgeting and frustrated
by a government he says refuses to operate “within finite resources.”
“You can’t just spend without limits in a business con-text,” Hussey said.
Likewise, Olym-pia needs to set priorities and allocate its re-sources accordingly. Hussey believes his background has primed him for the job.
After graduating with an accounting degree from Seattle Pacific University and earning his MBA from the University of Washington, Hussey spent 12 years as CFO at Boullioun Aviation in Bellevue. He then founded his own company, Tailwind Capital, which leases com-mercial aircraft to clients all over the globe and manages their investments.
“Dealing with big num-bers doesn’t really scare me,” he said.
Despite his focus on business, Hussey considers himself a family man first and foremost. The 49-year-old has been married to his wife, Christi, for 26 years. They have four children, the
youngest of whom is about to graduate from high school.
Consequently, Hussey’s commu-nity involvement is tightly tethered to his active parenting. He’s the president of the Bellevue
Christian board of directors, where all his children at-tended. His kids played club soccer so he coached them, which culminated in head-ing the gargantuan Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association (LWYSA).
Yet, Hussey’s business acu-men proved a vital asset to his community commitments when the LWYSA needed rescue from suspension and scandal in 2004. Back when Hussey was just a coach, the association’s board started raking in inflated registra-tion fees from its 6,500 youth members to finance inflated executive salaries and risky investments.
When a parent started asking questions, his child was suspended and then the state soccer organization started paying attention. The LWYSA was suspended
in turn and after much ugli-ness and legal battles, most of the old board resigned.
Hussey and a cadre of com-mitted volunteers stepped into the leadership void, inheriting a tarred organization and $ 1 million in debt.
“Over a period of 18 months, we re-cut a deal with the bank, restructured fees and reduced them, cut expenses dramatically, but still provided the services necessary to the players and their families,” Hussey re-called. “It was a bath of fire, (but) it’s now in a far better place than it was then.”
Hussey’s experience with the LWYSA is analogous to his plans for the Legislature. The fiscal conservative be-lieves the state’s top priority, education, can be properly funded by trimming other expenditures, not additional revenue.
We need “to be more efficient and effective with the dollars we have,” he said. He hopes to make Washington more business friendly in the process.
“People who are genuinely
trying to grow their busi-ness and hire more people shouldn’t be overburdened with regulations,” he said. “If you stimulate business, if the economy starts to pick up, revenues will go up naturally.”
Longtime friend and home loan officer Jeff Tisdale is fully confident in Hussey’s abilities.
“He can wade through a lot of garbage and make good decisions on what’s needed and what’s not needed,” Tisdale assured. “I would like to have 15 guys like Joel working for me, and then all I’d have to do is go golf.”
If Hussey can garner that
kind of confidence from the majority of the 45th, his win is assured. He’s certainly not worried about his incumbent competitor, Democrat Roger Goodman, or any others running.
“I am focused. The mis-sion is changing the way Olympia works and the citi-zens have to decide whether they want more of the same or whether they want change,” he said. “Game on.”

Political newcomer Jacob Bond is not afraid to call himself an underdog.
The 27-year-old combat veteran and emergency medical technician said he does not plan to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars backed by his Democratic Party.
“Everybody likes an underdog and I think that’s a good position for my campaign to work with,” said Bond, who is challeng-ing incumbent Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, and Republican Joel Hussey of Redmond.
If elected as 45th District, Pos. 1 state representative, Bond said he hopes to help fix the partisan gridlock in the Legislature.
“I’ll be a Democrat on the ballot, but the Demo-crats have been in office, the Republicans have been in office and the system is still broken,” said Bond, who lives in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood with his wife. “I’d like to bring common sense back. If the
current incumbent gets back into his position, we’ll continue with that broken government.”
A Redmond native, Bond joined the U.S. Marine Corps right out of Marys-ville High School in 2003 and was deployed to Iraq twice. He completed the EMT program at Pierce College and also studied international business at a university in south central Mexico, where he also did immigration advocacy for his wife and others. He is currently finishing up his business degree at Bellevue College and is also a state-licensed financial advisor.
Bond believes his broad background will give him an edge in Olympia when addressing different issues.
One of his personal priorities as state represen-tative would be supporting
veterans.“I do have a personal pas-
sion and there’s something that really pushed me into the political arena – veter-ans,” he said. “I hold them near to my heart and I’ve worked with several organi-zations that help veterans.”
Unfortunately, he said veterans coming back from combat get lost in the fray of things and don’t know where to turn for benefits.
“When I came back (from Iraq) people said there are tons of ben-efits out there, but no one showed me where to go for these,” said Bond. “So that’s going to be a personal endeavor for myself when I get into the house if people elect me.”
His other priorities include education and job creation.
“Trying to find innova-
tive ideas for job creation, not only within the district, but the state of Washington, is going to be huge,” he said.
Bond is currently work-ing with the Woodinville Wine Association to connect winery represen-tatives with educational institutions to mold a new program to produce skilled labor. He has found that when students gradu-ate from different wine programs in Western Washington they are not prepared to run a business. With the new program, he hopes it will give students a “fighting chance” when they graduate from wine programs.
“Hopefully that’s a start to many innovative ideas. We’d like to get a lot of apprenticeship programs, and bring veterans coming back from war zones into
much-needed industries,” he added.
He also aims to focus on constituents who are not being represented and the problems that are being put to the side.
His biggest criticism of his incumbent challenger was Goodman’s so-called “drug agenda.”
“I just don’t think that marijuana should be on the top list of issues. I think it should be addressed, but it’s definitely not on a double working family’s list of things they need to get passed in the Legislature,” said Bond. “I’ve got my neighbors who are struggling to make their mortgage payments; I’m pretty sure pot’s not on the grocery list.”
He also criticized his op-ponent for dropping his bid for Congress to run for re-election in the state house.
“To me, that shows him hedging his bets. I think it’s a disservice to the people to jump back and forth,” said Bond.
So far, he has raised nearly $3,000, according to the Public Disclosure
Commission. However, his campaign is not focused on raising a lot of money or gaining huge endorsements.
“We’re out there so that we can be engaged by vot-ers. We need to focus on the people,” he said.
Part of that focus means putting the “trivial bills on the wayside” so the Legis-lature can help get people back to work, he said.
He noted he and his wife are ready to have children, but they are afraid for their children’s education and prospects for a job.
“We shouldn’t be passing our problems off to our children. So that’s the goal whenever we’re passing legislation, is how are our children going to be af-fected in this,” Bond added. “And that’s really what I want to bring to voters is it’s not just us, it’s our future as well. If we don’t have the common sense to look at a week, a year, 10 years into the future, we’ve failed before we’ve started.”

Summer brings a full court press for moving season — as more Americans relocate during summer than any other time of year.
While aesthetics often take precedence when settling into a “new-to-you” home, it’s important for homeowners and renters alike
to complete a safety check of their abode to reduce the risk of unintentional injuries. One of the greatest hazards in a home that usually is the furthest from the mind is fire. But, it’s one of the easiest to address.
More than two-thirds of residential fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms or with non-working alarms accord-ing to the National Fire Protection Associa-tion. One in four families with homes built prior to 2002 is at risk due to aging (10 or more years old) smoke alarms, according to a recent survey from Kidde.
Fire experts recommend replacing alarms every 10 years as older smoke alarms may not operate efficiently and often cause nui-sance alarms. By the time a smoke alarm is 10 years old, it has a 30 percent chance of not alarming due to age-related factors such as accumulated dust, insects and airborne con-taminants, according to a Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center study. If you don’t know how old your smoke alarms are, or if you know they were installed more than 10 years ago, it’s replacement time.
When replacing your home’s alarms
every 10 years, look for smoke alarms with a 10-year sealed lithium battery that will keep your alarms powered for a decade. The alarm will never need its battery replaced during its useful life. Or, select a combina-tion smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, which offers a voice warning and uses the latest technology to help minimize nuisance alarms that often occur when cooking.
As you prioritize your move-in to-do list, remember that an ounce of prevention today could save a life tomorrow.Courtesy of ARAcontent.

Buying a home may be the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime and the process can be exciting. For many, it can also be intimidating but understand-ing the steps to achieving your goal of home ownership can help you stay on track and improve your buying experience.
If you were born anywhere from 1982 to 2001, or within a few years of this range, you are considered a “Millennial.” As a member of this group, you share many things —cultural references, familiarity with technology, attitudes toward work and family — with others your age.
And if you’re one of the “older” Millennials, you and your peers have something else in common — specifically, you have a good opportunity to launch investment strategies to help you save for the future.
Why are you so well positioned to invest for the future? For one thing, it’s because you have so much of the future ahead of you. As an investor, time is your greatest ally, for a couple of reasons. First, the more years you have to invest, the great-er the growth potential of your investments. And second, by investing for the long term, you can help reduce the impact of periods of short-term volatility on your portfolio.
Furthermore, since you may be in the early stage of your career, you probably have yet to reach your maximum earn-ings and may be eligible to put in the full annual amount to a Roth IRA, one of the most effective retirement savings vehicles available. (Eligibility to contribute to a Roth IRA is phased out over a specific income range.) When you invest in a Roth IRA, your earnings have the opportunity to grow tax free, provided you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re at least 59 and half and you’ve had your account for at least five years.
Even if you do contribute to a Roth IRA, you can still par-ticipate in your employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) if you work for a company, a 457(b) if you work for a state or local government or a 403(b) if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization. And you should indeed contribute to your employer’s plan, because it offers some key benefits: Your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, and you typically fund your plan with pre-tax dollars. So the
more you put in, the lower your taxable income. (Taxes are due upon withdrawal and withdrawals prior to age 59 and a half may be subject to a 10 percent IRS penalty.)
The amount you can afford to put into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan depends on your earnings and other circumstances — but you should at least strive to contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is of-fered. Otherwise, you’ll be walking away from “free” money.
All the money you contribute to your plan is yours, but if you leave your job before a specified vesting period — which often ranges from three to seven years — you may not be able to keep all your employer’s contributions. Check your plan’s rules to see how this applies to you.
Of course, since you, as a Millennial, are in the early stage of your working years, you may well be on the lookout for new job opportunities. But if you are close to being fully vested in your 401(k), you might consider waiting a few extra months — or even a year — to take a new job, so that you can leave with the money your employer has contributed.
As a Millennial, you’ve got time on your side as you invest for the future. So make sure you take advantage of all the op-portunities that come your way.

‘Millennials’ in good positionto invest for the future
Steps toHome
Ownership
Following are a few sugges-tions to help you on the road to home ownership:
Get Your Finances in OrderObtain copies of your
credit report and have any errors corrected before you apply for a loan. Pay down/off outstanding balances where feasible as doing so will help improve your debt-to-income ratio and your credit score. Organize important documents that you will need, such as cur-rent pay stubs, W-2 forms, bank and asset statements, tax returns and accurate records of debts.
Save for a Down Payment and Closing Costs
The amount you will need for a down payment depends on your lender, but the more money you are able to put toward your down payment, the more equity you will have in your home and the lower your mortgage payments will be. If you have less than 20 percent to put down, you'll probably have to pay for mortgage
insurance, which protects the bank against default. You will also need to have cash for closing costs, which are generally equal to about two to six percent of the pur-chase price of the home.
Shop for a MortgageLearn about different
terms and rates available, as well as any loan programs that might be available to you as a homebuyer. Many banks offer special mort-gage programs that may be suitable for you. A trusted lender can estimate how much you can truly afford to pay for a mortgage and offer insight to what type of mortgage is best suited for you. Lenders can also help you get pre-approved for a loan, which establishes your buying power giving you more leverage in the deal-making process.
Find a Real Estate AgentFind a licensed realtor you
trust who is familiar with the area in which you want to buy. A realtor’s experience buying and selling homes
can be very valuable and their services generally go far beyond helping you find a home in your desired loca-tion as they can also negoti-ate price and other criteria and walk you through the paperwork.
Make an OfferOnce you find a home
that meets your price range and criteria, you may be ready to make an offer. The three basic components of a purchase offer are price, terms and contingencies. Price is the dollar amount of the offer, terms cover the other financial and timing factors that will be included in the offer and contingen-cies are clauses that specify what will need to take place in order for you to fulfill the contract.
The seller will either ac-cept your offer, counter-bid or decline your offer. If you and the seller are able to come to an agreement, you’ll be asked to sign a contract and put down a “binder” or “earnest money."
Have the Home Professionally Inspected
Hire a home inspec-tor, preferably an engineer familiar with the area where you are buying, to take a close look at the condition of the home. An inspec-tion can point out potential problems that could require costly repairs down the road. In addition to the general home inspection, it may also be prudent to have special-ists inspect various areas of the home, such as the roof, electrical, plumbing, chim-ney, etc.
Close the SaleConfirm with your real
estate agent, home insur-ance agent, and lender that you have all the proper documents in place before signing the closing papers. At this time, you’ll usually need to settle all closing costs before receiving the keys to your new home.

David Richter doesn’t live in Redmond, but he knows his way around downtown
better than most.Richter, a former professional cy-
clist, is the two-time defending elite men’s champion of the Derby Days Criterium, the longest continuously running “crit” in the nation.
Seventy-one years strong, the criterium continues to be one of the premiere events for citizens — and cyclists — at the city’s annual Derby Days Summer Festival.
The Derby Days Criterium is a multi-lap course in downtown Red-mond, with a time limit — this year it’s 90 minutes. The racers average around 30 miles an hour and each lap is seven-tenths of a mile. Once the time limit is up, the first one to cross the finish line wins — and lately Richter has owned the elite men’s race.
“I feel like I’m a Redmond citizen with winning the race and loving the race so much,” said Richter, a 42-year-old Seattle resident. “It’s really cool that the city is part of it. This is part of the Redmond community and that’s what makes it special.”
Richter is hoping to add an-other win to his Redmond resume Saturday night when he competes in the elite men’s race, the finale of a nine-race schedule.
Richter has won the Derby Days Criterium three out of the last four years — he placed second in 2009 — and four times total since he be-gan racing here in the early 1990s.
Richter, who considers himself a history buff, said the Derby Days Criterium is his favorite because of its historical significance and the enthusiasm it generates.
“It’s always been one of the premiere race dates on the calen-dar because it’s been around for a long time,” he said. “It’s got a lot of history to it. It’s always meant a lot to me.”
an ‘anChoR EVEnt’ foR dERbY daYsLisa Rhodes, the marketing
director for the City of Redmond, called the criterium one of “the anchor events” of Derby Days.
“I believe it is popular because no matter how the Derby Days Festival has changed over the years, the cri-terium has always been consistent,” she said. “Racers can count on a quality race event, no matter what.”
That consistency is what keeps Richter coming back to Redmond every July.
Richter retired from professional cycling about five years ago, but still gets his “crit” fix at local races in the area.
Richter, who raced profession-ally both on the mountain and road circuits, hung up his pro wheels and now spends most of his time developing his cycling business and spending time with his wife.
But when he puts on that racing
jersey — no matter the magnitude of the competition — he is ready to roll.
“I still love doing it, so I take it seriously,” said Richter. “Every time I line up, I count on winning.”
Last Sunday, Richter won the elite men’s state criterium champion-ship in Bellingham. In addition, he crossed the finish line first at both the Walla Walla and Wenatchee criteriums earlier this year.
Joe Holmes, the Derby Days Criterium coordinator, said Richter is definitely one of the favorites at Saturday’s Derby Days Criterium.
“He’s a good sprinter,” said Hol-mes, who was Richter’s teammate in 2008 when Richter won the Derby Days Criterium. “He’s got a lot of
experience and he has a really quick finishing sprint. He’s definitely one to watch.”
PlEntY of motIVatIonRichter will be racing Saturday
with his business partner, Todd Harriot and his other teammates from Harriott Sporting Perfor-mance, a cycling business in Seattle Richter co-owns with Harriot.
And with more prize money this year — thanks to a new sponsorship with Swedish Medi-cal Center — Richter has added motivation. This year the winning men’s team will get $1,000 and the total prize money for all the races has been raised to $10,000, which is the highest criterium prize pot in the state, according to Holmes, president of the Washington State Cycling Association.
With the increased prize money, Holmes said he is shooting for a total of 500 participants during the nine races, which begin at 1:15 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m.
But there will be even more people watching as the Derby Days Festival draws thousands of people, many of whom line the streets to watch the bike races.
Richter said one of the reasons he does so well racing in Redmond is because of the energetic crowd.
“I like racing around big enthusi-astic crowds,” he said. “In this setting, it’s like you are putting on a show.”
Richter never thought he would be bike racing in front of screaming fans nearly 25 years ago when he was drafted out of high school by the Philadelphia Phillies, a Major League Baseball team.
He never did sign with the Phil-lies and instead became a profes-sional mountain bike racer before switching to road racing. He said his pro career took him all over the world to places he would have never gone to if he wasn’t a cyclist.
But now that he is retired, his home — and heart — remain in the Northwest.
And even though he lives in Se-attle, he owns a piece of Redmond history as a four-time champion of the Derby Days Criterium.

Some of the fastest track cyclists are headed to the Velodrome at King Coun-ty’s Marymoor Park for two days of all-out racing as part of the 2012 Marymoor Grand Prix, presented by nuun hydration drinks, July 20-21.
Racing begins at 7 p.m. on both nights, with qualifying races starting at 1 p.m. on Friday and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Marymoor Grand Prix will feature several current na-tional champions, as well as former and future Olympi-ans, who will be competing on fixed gear bikes with no brakes and at speeds of up to 40 mph.
Admission to the event is $5 per person; kids 16 and younger are free. There will be a “Kiddie Kilo”
both nights and children are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets to participate. A beer garden sponsored by Schooner Ale will be open from 6:30-10:30 p.m. both evenings. Food is available from vendors in the park, or spectators can bring their own picnics.
Friday night’s races include the “Keirin” – a race where up to eight com-petitors are paced around the track by a scooter as it accelerates to 30 mph. With one lap to go, the scooter exits the track and the cy-clists compete in a one-lap dash for the finish line.
Saturday night’s action features more races, includ-ing the always popular “Madison” as a finale.
Named for Madison Square Garden, the home of track cycling in the 1920s and 1930s, a “Madison” race consists of teams of two riders with one team-mate racing all-out and the
other “resting” up along the top of the track. Exchanges occur once every lap or so with the racing teammate literally slinging his partner up to speed and into the action.
All of the details are available http://velodrome.org/marymoorgrandprix. For more details, visit www.velodrome.org/marymoor grandprix, or contact David Mann, Marymoor Grand Prix Director, at (206) 356-0470 or [email protected].
King County’s Marymoor Park is home to the only velodrome in Washington. Operated by the Marymoor Velodrome Association, the 400-meter oval track is dedicated to bicycle racing and hosts programs from riders of all levels, including youth classes, the popular Friday Night Racing series, and even national racing championships.

A CONSCIENTIOUS APPROACH While health is largely determined by genes, our personalities and dietary and exercise habits are also factors in determining health as well as longevity. Of course, it’s not as easy to change our personalities as it is to switch to healthier lifestyles. Af-ter all, personality traits emerge in childhood and tend to persist into adulthood. However, personality does change with age, which can be a good thing for seniors. For example, research shows that most of us become more conscientious as we get older. Interestingly, this person-ality type is the one that most consistently correlates with good health. Conscientious individuals are not only less likely to engage in danger-ous behaviors, they are also more likely to adhere to healthy ones.
HINT: Conscientious individuals may be more likely to avoid stressful situations, which are known to erode health.
PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING is pleased to present you with interesting and informative topics regarding seniors. Our expe-rienced and caring staff realizes that living a healthy lifestyle is critical to the longevity of our senior residents. We provide a wide variety of activity options that encourage our seniors to achieve and maintain their ‘personal best’. To learn more, contact us at (425) 869-2273. We will arrange an ini-tial, confidential meeting and a tour of our unique senior community at 14431 Redmond Way. We look forward to meeting you!

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…
Police Blotter
Even though the air is warmer, the rivers are still cold and the King County depart-ments of Natural Resources and Parks and Public Health – Seattle and King County and the King County Sheriff ’s Office are urging people to exercise caution around open water.
Public health and safety officials recently launched a campaign to heighten aware-ness of river dangers and what people can do to help prevent drownings. A mailer that urges life jacket use and provides other river safety information — including resources for affordable and discounted lifejackets — will be sent to more than
30,000 addresses within about one mile of major King County river recreation areas.
New signage is being installed at riverside recreation areas. The yellow signs, reading “Warning, River is Dangerous,” are going up at more than a dozen popular river put-in locations on King County Parks land.
“Rivers are dynamic systems, and they are always changing,” said King County De-partment of Natural Resources and Parks Director Christie True in a county press release. “Warm weather and cold water can be a dangerous combination, and we urge all river users to exercise a high degree of caution and awareness when recreating on
any of King County’s beautiful rivers.”Dr. David Fleming, director and health
officer for Public Health – Seattle and King County added, “We want you to have fun and also return home safely from river recreation, so please use caution and wear a (personal floatation device) on the water. If you want to swim, there are much safer places to be — visit a local pool or life-guarded beach instead.”
Before venturing into open water, King County health and safety officials remind river users to:
• Wear a life jacket.• Do not use alcohol and drugs which
can impair judgment in an emergency.• Keep children within reach, always
watching them closely near and in water.• Choose safer swimming options with
lifeguards present, such as a beach, lake or pool.
• Know river conditions before getting in the water.
The county’s river safety campaign is funded by the King County Office of Risk Management’s Loss Control Fund.
For more information on river safety and drowning prevention, visit the King County river safety web page at www.kingcounty.gov/riversafety.
Residents urged to use caution, be safe around rivers

David Marion BarnhartDavid Marion Barnhart died Saturday
June 30, 2012 at home in Redmond, Washington surrounded by his “tribe”, family, and numerous friends and loved ones after a brief struggle with cancer.
David was born August 13, 1952 at Kadlec Hospital in Richland, Washington and grew up the Seattle/Woodinville area attending Woodinville and Cottage Lake Elementary schools, and Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church in Lake City.David’s early years were spent on Hollywood Hill, a rural area
of Woodinville, where he and his brother, Bryan, became capable horsemen belonging to the Gold Creek Cavalry and riding in parades, drills, and other shows. He was taught to love the outdoors by his father, Walter, spending much time hiking and camping.
Later David moved to Yakima and attended West Valley Junior High and High School, Ellensburg High School, moved to Bellingham and attended Nooksack High School before enlisting in the Army and going to Vietnam.
David enlisted in the Army in 1970 and served his country in Vietnam as an aircraft crew chief earning numerous distinctions including Sharpshooter, and Good Conduct Medal and was honorably discharged. Upon his discharge he briefly attended Yakima Valley College.
David began his woodcarving career in Yakima and then migrated to Orcas Island where he lived for 10 years. He attended sweat lodges and has many surviving friends who loved him there. His carvings populate the island.
David was known to most people who knew him in Redmond as “Woodcarver” and was a gifted and accomplished artist with numerous works in both residential and commercial settings.
Woodcarver was however much more than an artist. He also served many who sought him out for personal and spiritual advice on many different levels. He became a part of a circle known as the “Tribe” who along with his wife Cheryl never left his side during his last struggle, providing for all his needs up until the end. His family is grateful for the sacrifices of this amazing Tribe and the comfort they provided during this difficult and painful time for us all.
On December 21, 2010 David married Cheryl Parrish who survives him. He is also survived by his parents Walter and Pauline Barnhart of Yuma, Arizona, brother Bryan Barnhart of Yakima, ex-wife Ruth Barnhart of Yakima, son Cory Barnhart of Maui Hawaii, daughter and son-in-law Nicole and CJ Dobbins of Mountlake Terrace, and grandchildren Odin and Rhiannon

It was all about the kids at last week-end’s Redmond Saturday Market.
There were 20 different kid-managed booths and at least two of the kid vendors donated their proceeds to charity as part of Kids Day last Saturday, according to market director Nicole Package.
Besides kids selling their wares, there was also entertainment for youngsters provided by Mr. Darby, a Kids Day fixture at the market who sang and told stories to children.
“This is definitely one of the most
popular days at the market,” Package said.The Saturday Market’s next special
event is Hawaiian Day, which will be July 21. That’s when market vendors dress up and decorate their booths, with a prize going to the best Hawaiian booth display, Package said.
Elias Ka’uhane, which plays a mix of contemporary and traditional Hawaiian music, will provide entertainment from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. with members from the Melelani Hula Studio performing traditional hula dances from noon to 2 p.m.

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care is seeking community members to join 200-plus volunteers who provide as-sistance at the hospice center in Kirkland and at patient homes throughout King and
Snohomish counties.EvergreenHealth Hospice
Care volunteers provide comfort and support to patients and families living with terminal illness in homes, skilled-nursing fa-cilities, assisted-living facili-ties and adult family homes and at the hospice center.
Priscilla Wiest is one such volunteer, having worked in every aspect of the EvergreenHealth hos-pice program since 2005.
“The experience you have with the patients and their families during this transi-tion time in their lives is very much a learning process for the volunteer and the patient. It doesn’t have to be
a sad time, rather, it’s often a time of reflection,” she said. “Every day I volunteer, I learn something new and that keeps my mind open to learning new things in the future. The staff are also so appreciative of the time you spend with the patients.”
Hospice volunteering runs in Wiest’s family. Her 87-year-old mother is also an EvergreenHealth Hospice Care volunteer and her sister volunteers at a hospice center in Vermont.
“Many times a patient will be amazed that some-one is coming to see them for no other reason than that they care about them,” said EvergreenHealth Hos-pice Care volunteer coordi-nator Criss East. “To know that you matter to someone really has a positive impact.”
EvergreenHealth Hospice Care has many available opportunities for Eastside
community members to join the Wiests and the rest of the hospice volunteers, including roles such as:
• Visiting with patients at either the hospice center or in the patient’s home
• Calling patients at home to make sure they’re “tucked in” for the weekend
• Providing brief respite care for families
• Greeting and guiding hospice center visitors
• Assisting with volunteer training
• Serving comfort items such as blankets for patients
Hospice Care volunteers must be at least 18 years old and are asked for a one-year commitment of up to four hours per week.
To learn more, visit the volunteer pages of the Ever-greenHealth website at www.evergreenhealth.com or con-tact East at (425) 899-1049 or [email protected].

Movies at MaryMoor The First Tech Movies@
Marymoor outdoor cinema series is in full swing at King County’s Marymoor Park at 6046 W. Lake Sam-mamish Pkwy N.E.
The series continues with movies every Wednesday evening through August. All events are dog friendly
and include circus acts, food trucks, contests and a free glow necklace for the first 200 attendees, compli-ments of Overlake Medical Clinics.
The movies continue on July 18 with Martin Scorcese’s 2011 film “Hugo,” followed by “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and a benefit for Siberians Needing Owners on July 25. The organization will have a meet-and-greet with rescued Siberian hus-kies and accept monetary donations, gift cards, dog
beds, blankets and toys. Treats and water will also be available for four-legged attendees.
The remaining movie schedule is: “The Muppets” (Aug. 1), “Moneyball” (Aug. 8), “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (Aug. 15), “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (Aug. 22) and “The Princess Bride” (Aug. 29).
Movies are shown on an inflatable movie screen. Moviegoers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets and warm clothes for a comfortable evening outdoors. Pre-movie seating is $5 starting at 7 p.m. Movies are shown at dusk.
New this year are circus acts by One Fine Fool, plus food trucks from Happy Grillmore, Whole Foods, Custom Kettle Corn and Caramia’s Sweeties Treaties.
For more information, visit www.moviesat-marymoor.com or www.facebook.com/moviesat marymoor. The series is produced by Epic Events, www.epicevents.us and presented throughout the summer by Overlake Medi-cal Clinics.
Library sponsors photo contest
The Redmond Regional Library along with its part-ners are sponsoring a “Then and Now” photo contest
to celebrate Redmond’s Centennial.
Contestants can choose from a number of histori-cal photos, posted on the library’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/red mondlibrary, and take their best “now” photo in that same location.
Photographers can try to recreate the scene from the historical photograph as accurately as possible or use their creative sense to capture the scene from the historical photograph in a pleasing, artful way. Awards will be given in a Youth and Adult category.
Photos can be submitted electronically by email to [email protected] or in person at the Redmond Library, at 15990 N.E. 85th St. in Redmond.
Photo captions must accompany all submissions, along with the photogra-pher’s name, email address and telephone number. Captions should include the subject of the image, the lo-cation where the image was taken and the name and age of the photographer(s).
Submissions are due by Aug. 15 and winners will be announced Sept. 15.

parenting prograM Meets every Friday
The Program for Early Parent Support (PEPS) is offering Redmond Baby Peppers — a program for moms of 5 to 12-month-old babies — starting Friday at the Redmond Bright Hori-zons, located at 14860 N.E. 31st Circle.
In the group, parents and their babies will meet, share, and learn in informal ses-sions facilitated by a trained volunteer. Each meeting includes time for sharing parenting highs and lows, followed by a discussion of a topic related to parenting. Baby Peppers meetings will take place over eight weeks and will include break time for informal socializing and connecting with other parents.
Baby Peppers is open to all families with babies 5-12 months old when the group starts.
The Redmond Baby Peppers group will meet every Friday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. starting July 13. The program fee is $120. Scholarships are available.
