� e � rst Tuesday of November is only a few days away and that means the Redmond community will soon learn who will be their mayor begin-ning in January 2016.
� e candidates — incumbent John Marchione and challenger Steve Fields — have been campaign-
ing for months and it all comes to an end Tuesday as ballots are due by 8 p.m.
� roughout the campaign, there have been a few topics that the candidates have focused on as key for the future of Redmond.
As previously reported, during a candidates’ debate on Oct. 14, Marchione’s three issues are growth, tra� c and poverty, while Fields’
issues are a lack of con� dence in government, a� ordability, homeless-ness and growth.
Each candidate has spent time visiting residents and businesses, door to door, to learn about which issues are important to them.
Both Marchione and Fields said they particularly enjoyed this part of the campaigning.
For Fields, doorbelling — listen-
ing to and learning from the people in Redmond — was the best part of the whole campaign.
“� ere is no better way to un-derstand the ‘real’ Redmond than meeting people at their homes and discussing their concerns and getting their ideas,” Fields said. “Everyone was appreciative that I came out to meet them.”
For Marchione, an election
provides another forum for the com-munity to examine its values and direction.
“Doorbelling is one of my favorite parts of a campaign,” he said. “My conversations with voters reinforced my belief that Redmond residents passionately love their city and want the best possible leadership to guide us for the next four years.”
Mayoral race comes to a close on Tuesday, election day

COMMUNITY | Sisters start charitable campaign; latest endeavor is art auction to bene� t Old Dog Haven [2]
In March, sisters Chanel Merritt and Megan Bishop got to talking and together decided they wanted to do something to give back to their community.
Initially, they discussed � nding organizations to volunteer with, but as they were researching nonprof-its, the sisters realized there were many local groups they had never heard of prior.
Bishop said if she had not heard of these organi-zations, others probably hadn’t heard of them either.
“� ey need more atten-tion,” she said about the nonpro� ts.
HELPING LOCAL NONPROFITS
With this in mind, she and her sister decided to focus their e� orts on raising money and awareness for local nonpro� ts, starting Operation Wandering Wa� e (OWW), a charitable campaign with that speci� c
mission.Merritt, who lives in
Redmond (Bishop lives in Duvall), said the � rst event they held was a scavenger hunt to bene� t the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Eastside in Red-mond. � e hunt was held in May, during Mental Health Awareness Month. Merritt said they raised more than $1,000 for the Redmond organization. In addi-tion, they collected about 450 pounds of food and goods for Redmond-based Hopelink and Homeward Pet Adoption Center in Woodinville.
� eir latest endeavor is an online art auction to bene� t Old Dog Haven, a network of private homes helping homeless senior dogs. According to the organization’s website, they “focus on the oldest dogs le� at shelters but occasion-ally (they) can take a dog directly from the owner.” In addition, Merritt said, as the dogs they help are older and sometimes have health issues, Old Dog Haven also
helps new owners with their veterinarian bills.
Merritt said when they � rst learned about the nonpro� t, they admired their mission and wanted to help them.
Bishop added that while they are open to helping any type of organization, the two of them do have a so� spot for those involving animals.
“We’re suckers for dogs and animals,” she said with a laugh.
AUCTIONING OFF ART� e idea for an auction
came as a result of Bishop’s past career in the gaming industry. Bishop said that, in addition to attending art school, has led her to have a lot of friends who are artists. She said the art they have collected for the auction has come from those friends, adding that the artwork they donated is all over the place in terms of style and medium.
Merritt said people will be able to view the auction items online beginning Monday and they will be open for bidding on Nov. 7-8. She added that they have 21 pieces up for auction and they are still accepting donations.
“We will always take more,” Merritt said.
� e OWW website (www.operationwanderingwa� e.com) will have links to the auction site so people can view items and bid on them, beginning Monday.

in Redmond — had any experience fundraising or working with non-profits.
Merritt said they just knew they wanted to give back. She said many organizations hold 5K runs for their causes, but she and her sister wanted to do something different — which is where they got the idea for the scavenger hunt.
“It turned out fairly successful,” Merritt said.
Following the hunt, she said they wanted to continue the work and began brainstorming on other ways they could help local charities — and the art auction was born.
Being new to this type of work, both sisters admit the experience is a lot of learning as they go.
Bishop said they have learned just how much effort goes into making a fundraising campaign successful — which is even more work when there are only two people involved. Be-
cause of this, she said they have learned to cut back on how many causes they can support. All this work — as well as money — has delayed them in turning OWW into a nonprofit.
“That costs a lot of money,” Bishop said.
SPREADING HAPPINESSBut despite all the
work they have put into OWW, both Bishop and her sister say it is worth it.
Merritt said the em-ployees at the organiza-tions they are raising money and awareness for all work so hard and the sisters’ efforts are helping the organiza-tions out without any extra work for those employees. This type of work makes the sisters happy to be able to give back, she said. In ad-dition, they are giving others — family and friends — the opportu-nity to get involved and give back, as well.
“It’s spreading a lot of happiness,” Merritt said.

Save the Nokomis building� e Nokomis building is a historic structure,
built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Admin-istration (WPA), used as Redmond’s � rst library and the site of many gatherings by women lead-ers of the city.
It is located on a lot in the downtown core, and, with the surrounding open space, could be used again to serve the city in a capacity that would improve the quality of civic life.
I urge the owner, builder and City of Red-mond to � nd a way to preserve this structure and the land surrounding it, and dedicate them to community service, as the original members of the Nokomis Club wished. Dorothy MatsuiRedmond
Distracted driving kills 11 teen drivers a day
According to the Department of Transporta-tion, 11 teen drivers die every day due to dis-tracted driving. Distracted driving is the cause of 21 percent of accidents involving teen drivers. At any given time, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their cell phones while
driving. Distracted driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving, while teens are already four times more likely to get in an accident. � at makes every teen four times more likely to get in an accident if distracted than an adult. Being a teen driver, I get scared for my own life and others lives when I see people driving distracted be it on the high-way, back roads or in town.
Distracted driving is not limited to just your cell phone. It also includes putting on makeup, eating, drinking, talking to passengers, read-ing and adjusting your GPS, adjusting the radio station, changing the volume and so many more. Distracted driving is as dangerous as being blindfolded while walking across a narrow log. Distracted driving is a problem because it is now the leading cause of teen deaths in the United States at more than 3,000 fatalities a year. Among the 3,000 deaths, there are 300,000 injuries due to distracted driving.
Don’t text anyone while driving, don’t call any-one while driving, don’t use your phone while driving, don’t put makeup on while driving. I want us to be the generation that ends distracted driving. When you are in your car, put your cell phone down, get the volume on your music at the right level before you put your car in drive, keep your eyes on the road. If you get a text and
it’s just that important, pull over and respond, don’t respond while you’re driving. � is subject is important for teens in the United States because at some point in their lives, they will all drive. As a teen driver, I see people driving distracted every day and I can’t help but wonder what is more important than your own or an-other human’s life.Cheyanne CanellWoodinville
I-405 tolls: What were they thinking?
I saw with interest (and a lot of confusion) the new “rules” for the toll lanes on I-405. I think the IRS code is simpler. It makes the Obamacare handbook easy reading. You will have to have so many stickers on your win-dows they will look like a Seahawks season ticket holder’s jacket.
� e confusing convolutions of times, oc-cupants and locations makes for a lot of, not so much, fun times scrutinizing your toll bill. Why not have one sticker for EVERYTHING? And, oh yeah, make the tolls simpler.

The time has come for the Eastside
to grow up� e old Sunday morning trope asks, “What’s
missing from CH _ _ CH? U R!“ No, it’s not particularly funny (my pastors growing up never were). It does, however, make a quick and important point — any group of people is only as vibrant as the people who participate in it.
Well, there are no letters “U” or “R” in the words, “Eastside decision-making,” but the point is no less true. It’s simply not complete without you.
� at the Eastside is growing is not news. It’s been popular to tout our greater diversity than Seattle’s for years — more languages spoken in the schools, more foreign-born residents, fewer percentage of white residents. � en there is the infamous reverse commute — more workers come to the Eastside from Seattle to work than vice versa.
Yes, the Eastside is growing, but who’s decid-ing what we want to be when we grow up?
Despite roughly the same population as the Eastside, Seattle has a signi� cant structural advantage when it comes to plotting its course — Seattle is a single municipality. Public par-ticipation in city-limits-constrained political processes results in widespread policy-setting.
What of the Eastside? With almost two-dozen municipalities, � ve school districts, business powerhouses with more global em-ployees than the populations of the cities that host them and myriad compassionate, engaged nonpro� ts, it requires signi� cant collaboration and focus to a� ect the whole.
And a� ecting the whole Eastside is what’s needed to plot a coherent course. � at’s the
way to grow up rather than to simply hope to keep growing.
So go the lessons of other U.S. communi-ties looking to match and surpass our region’s success. A group of community leaders, led by Bellevue Downtown Association, has been traveling to peer cities around the country for the past several years to learn from their mis-takes and progress. A� er visiting Vancouver, British Columbia, Denver, Pasadena, Austin and Minneapolis-St. Paul, one observation shines brightly as an underpinning of their recent advances: leaders in those communities collaborated to create a plan. Despite the chal-lenge of multiple municipal boundaries — i.e., the two dozen cities in Denver County or the long, di� ering histories of Minneapolis vs. St. Paul — public, private and nonpro� t leader-ship came together to plan their future and collaborate to get there.
� e good news is a brand new partnership of business, nonpro� t and public sector leaders
is emerging across the Eastside to identify op-portunities to collaborate on maximizing our inherent advantages and seizing the future.
What’s missing? You are. � at’s why Leader-ship Eastside and Sound Publishing’s Eastside publications are working together to invite their readers’ voices into the conversation. � e people who live and work here should have a say in the course that is plotted.
� e time has come for us to be intentional about the kind of community we want to live in tomorrow. And to set a table where every-one has a chance to participate in making that happen.
� e time has come for the Eastside to grow up.
Welcome to the table.
James Whit� eld is president and CEO of Leadership Eastside, a nonpro� t that con-venes leadership for the greater good.

Redmond receives Growth Management Act Achievement Award from governor
� e City of Redmond is being recognized for the seventh time since 2006 for its superb job zeroing in on exactly what planning is needed by the commu-nity. � e award applauds the city’s e� orts in tackling problematic areas and pro-
ducing successful models for suburban downtowns and neighborhoods. � ese awards mark the 25th an-niversary of Washington’s Growth Management Act (GMA) and recognize some of the inspiring e� ort com-munities throughout the state have done to envision and plan for the future.
“We are honored to receive the Growth Man-agement Act 25th Anniver-sary Award. � is award is representative of the hard work our sta� and com-munity leadership have accomplished in executing the city’s long-term growth plan and is a testament to the commitment to service the city has to seek solu-tions for our community and creating connected neighborhoods with vibrant urban centers,” stated Mayor John Marchione.
Washington’s GMA was adopted in 1990 by a coali-tion of dedicated state leg-islators and citizen groups that were determined to do something about the rapid, unplanned, disconnected and unsustainable growth that took place in our state during the 1970s and 80s.
� e 25th anniversary of this game-changing legisla-tion presents an opportu-nity to evaluate the impact of GMA, applaud successes

“Quality of life is one of the chief reasons people choose to live, work and play in Washington state – it’s foundational to a thriving community and economy,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “Over the 25 years since the inception of the Growth Management Act, these projects showcase successful collaborations it takes to plan e� ectively for business expansion, revital-ization of a downtown area and promote jobs, housing, community amenities and regional transit facilities.”
� e award was an-nounced by Gov. Inslee on Monday and winners will be celebrated during the GMA 25th Anniversary Event on Nov. 13 at the Mu-seum of Glass in Tacoma.

Kuderer announces 2016 campaign for 48th District seat
Bellevue attorney Patty Kuderer announced Oct. 20 she will campaign for the 48th Legislative District House seat being vacated by Rep. Ross Hunter. Rep. Kuderer was recently ap-pointed to the seat by the King County Council.
“Representative Hunter’s shoes will be tough to � ll, but I strongly believe we need another strong advocate for our public schools from this district
in Olympia. � at’s why I’m so passionate about seeking this appointment,” said Kuderer.
She has been a longtime volunteer for the Chinook Middle School PTA, includ-ing co-president from 2002-2005. She won the “Golden Acorn” award for her volunteer service in 2005.
also understand that politicians are constantly looking for new ways to suck money out of us, err I mean tax, and spend and spend and spend. But this is ridiculous.
As an aside, whatever happened to all the lottery money? � at was sup-posed to be for highways. And what about the continuing rise in the gas taxes. Where is all that go-ing? I’m sure there’s a lot of other money siphoned o� that might better be used for highways.
Could it be that the powers that be wanted to make the new tolls so complicated and confus-ing that no one could possibly challenge their billing. Or is the answer simpler and just one ques-tion needs to be asked, “What the hell were they thinking?”Denny AndrewsBellevue www.retptgroup.com 425.883.9089

NOTICE OF 2016 BUDGET AMENDMENT
Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency
Executive Board The Executive Board of the East-side Public Safety Communica-tions Agency (EPSCA) will meet on November 12, 2015 to discuss the proposed 2016 EPSCA Bud-get Amendment and 2016 Access Fee. The meeting will be held at 10:00 am in the Trestle Room at the Redmond City Hall, located at
15670 NE 85th Street, Redmond, Washington. Published in Redmond Reporter on October 30, 2015. #1447335.
Both candidates � rst ran for o� ce because they saw an issue within the city that they believed needed to be addressed.
As previously reported, Marchione — who � rst ran for Redmond City Council in 2003 and took o� ce in 2004 — was concerned about the drainage problems at Hart-man Park.
If elected, Marchione has said he would bring eight years of experience as mayor, as well as 10 years as CFO, to the job.
According to earlier reports, Fields would like to
see more actively engaged citizens, which is why he is running for o� ce. � is is the � rst time he is doing so.
If elected, Fields has said he would bring a fresh and unique perspective to the mayoral position, which he thinks is what citizens want.
CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES
Hank Myers (Position 1), Hank Margeson (Position 3), Angela Birney (Posi-tion 5) and David Carson (Position 7) are running unopposed for Redmond City Council seats.

noted that the big-leaguer has always been respectful and had drive, passion and athleticism.
“He’s someone you root for,” Beliel said. “I can’t say enough good things about him as a person.”
“I’m so happy for him. I know it’s a dream come true,” said Dan Pudwill, Conforto’s former Redmond High baseball coach.
Conforto is 0-for-5 from the plate with an sacrifice-fly RBI so far in the series. After driving in the run in the sixth inning of game one, Conforto etched his spot in baseball history by becoming the first person to notch an RBI in all three World Series.
He is just the third person in baseball history to make an appearance in the World Series trio. As a youngster, he competed in the Little League World Series with his Redmond North team, and as a college athlete, his Oregon State University squad made the College World Series.
“Surreal is a great way to describe it,” Conforto said in a Newsday article this week. “It’s all happened so fast. It really just feels like yester-day I was called up and was playing my first game in the big leagues (July 24).”
Pudwill remembers Conforto’s infectious energy, hard work and leadership with the Mustangs, who advanced to the state semifi-nals his senior year and the final eight his junior year.
The Redmond coach said that Conforto always played with a smile and hit the ball farther than anyone on the team. Because of Conforto’s big swing of the bat, Redmond had to alter its batting-practice time so that he wasn’t hitting the ball near the Little Leaguers when they began playing in right field on the adjacent field at Hartman Park.
Come game time, Con-forto was ready to make an impact.
“He played his best when the lights were brightest and the stakes were highest,” said Pudwill, who spoke with Conforto and watched him play in August when the
Mets visited the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Conforto — who has one home run in the postseason — played in 56 games in the regular season and hit .270 with nine home runs, 14 doubles and 26 RBIs.
Michael comes from a family of strong ath-letic genes: his father Mike
played inside linebacker at Penn State University and his mother Tracie was a two-time Olympic gold medalist in synchronized swimming.
On Michael’s success from Little League to the big leagues, in an earlier Reporter story Mike said that he spent “a lot of hours
in the batting cage and had a lot of great coaches all the way up through college.”
Said Tracie Ruiz of her son in a New York Post story in July: “He’s the type of kid that will study a pitcher, and he will try to outthink and outsmart them while they’re trying to outsmart him.”
Beliel saw Michael do just that by nailing a home run when he was playing for the Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets’ minor league squad. After attending a game in
New York, Beliel and his family had a nice dinner and conversation with Michael.
Last year, Michael re-turned to Redmond from New York to speak with Redmond North all-stars and hand out jerseys at Hartman Park. Beliel said
that Michael took the time to ask players their names, positions and to get to know them a little bit. It was a spe-cial time for all involved.
While looking on that day at Michael, Beliel said he was beaming with pride.

...obituaries
Place a paid obituary to honor those who have passed away,
Janice Jay (Jaremko) ViceJanice Jay (Jaremko) Vice was
born September 27, 1940 to Joseph & Florence (Robinson) Jaremko in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Janice attended local schools, got her � rst pony (as she always wanted to be a “cowboy”), and won a local beauty contest while in high school. At 17 she moved to Santa Monica, California where she worked as a model. At age
19 she married and had her only child, Connie, in 1960. In about 1966, Jan, her then husband, and Connie settled in the Seattle, Washington area, where she decided it was the best place in the country to raise her daughter.
In 1969 while working at Boeing in Renton, she met Irvin Vice. They married in 1970 and resided in Redmond. There she had many good friends and several horses, dogs and cats. In 1979 she made a trip to Kentucky to buy her � rst Thoroughbred mares, and there began her and Irv’s business of raising “race” horses.
She loved to travel and made trips to Europe. In 1997 Jan and Irv moved to Oak Harbor where she could see the ocean, the Olympic mountains and hear the jets up above their home.
She had many friends there and a great love for all animals, especially her dogs. Her “best friend” Sparky passed away in March 2013 – a sorrow she never recovered from. Jan had many serious and debilitating health problems over the years.
She passed away peacefully at Whidbey General Hospital on October 20, 2015 following complications from a stroke, with her husband and daughter by her side. She’ll always be remembered as the most caring, vivacious, funny and outward going person one could ever meet. She will be sorely missed, but never forgotten!
She leaves behind her husband Irvin Vice, daughter Connie Ramsey (Scott), sisters Sherry MacDonald (Alex) and Bonnie Quino (Albert), several nieces and nephews, and a world of friends. In lieu of � owers, suggested donations could be made in her memory to the ASPCA, one of her
many favorite animal charities.1446648

“Flooding has been a longstanding issue in this area,” said FCD Chair Reagan Dunn in the press release. “Supervisors Hague and Lambert represent this area on the � ood district and they have worked hard on this problem. I’m glad we are one step closer to solving this issue.”
Hague said prior to the FCD approving the $3.5 mil-lion, there had not been any funding. She said this money, which is authorized by the state, will allow them to do actual physical work on the project.
“� e $3.5 million is very signi� cant,” said Hague, who added that the work probably won’t begin until sometime next year.
Willowmoor a� ects both Hague’s King County District
6 as well as Lambert’s King County District 3 — both of which are located just outside of Redmond.
“Flooding has been an issue in this area for many years and this puts us on a good path to solving the problem,” said Lambert in the King County press re-lease. “We will also continue to work closely with neigh-bors throughout the entire process.”
In the release, Hague added, “� e homeowners around Lake Sammamish have fought the e� ects of � ooding for years. We need a permanent solution for a free-� owing channel in the Sammamish River and the additional bene� ts of the Willowmoor project. Citizens will have the op-portunity to partner with King County Flood District to bring lasting results to a chronic and expensive concern.”

LWSD honored for using
non-chemical pest control methods
The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) was recently honored at a Wash-
ington School Integrated Pest Management (IPM) event at the University of Washington Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle.
The honor was to recognize the district’s use of alternate, non-chemical pest control methods as the first approach to solve a pest issue on school
grounds.LWSD was one of four
school districts in Washington recognized as IPM Star Certi-fied by Washington State Uni-versity Urban IPM & Pesticide Safety Education. The other three districts are Federal Way School District, Kelso School District and Mukilteo School
District. There are currently only 12 school districts in the state that have achieved this certification.
LWSD earned this certifica-tion after passing a rigorous 37-point inspection conducted by the independent non-profit IPM Institute of North America.
Jon Kollman, maintenance field supervisor and IPM coordinator for LWSD, is most proud of the district’s herbi-cide-free school program.
“Schools take an active role in managing their site vegeta-tion without the use of herbi-cides,” said Kollman.

Special to the Reporter
With the motto “Celebrate the World at Overlake,” the Redmond school’s cultural fair lasted four hours on Oct. 18 and featured more than 20 different coun-tries’ cultures.
It was an “opportunity for the Overlake commu-nity to celebrate diversity within our communities,” said Mahtab Mahmoodza-deh, director of diversity at The Overlake School.
Overlake’s gym — the Field House — featured 20-plus informational booths, with each booth displaying clothing, brief history and artwork rep-resentative of the respec-tive culture.
Also in the gym were artistic performances by the Overlake students, families and faculty. The performances ranged from traditional Indian Bollywood dancing, to Japanese musical perfor-mance, to Puerto Rican song and to a group
of Overlake teachers and faculty members performing an Indian-Pakistani dance in the traditional clothing and accessories.
In the school cafeteria — the Campus Center — there was an arrangement of delicacies from differ-ent cultures.
“The Japanese mochis were wiped clean within the first hour,” Mah-moodzadeh laughingly explained.
Both the booths and the food items were prepared by the Overlake families who “took parts of (their) rich heritage and decided to share it,” said Mahmoodzadeh.
For the next time, “we are hoping for more up-per school involvement,” as the level of upper school student attendance of the cultural fair was less than anticipated.
Mahmoodzadeh added, “We talked about mov-ing (the cultural fair) to a different time, possibly to a Friday afternoon,” when the students would be
more inclined to attend the fair to taste the food and enjoy the perfor-mances.
Mahmoodzadeh ex-pressed her goal of “creat-ing something sustain-able,” with the cultural fair being hosted “hope-fully every two years.”
Rachel Lee is a senior at The Overlake School in Redmond.

SecondStory Repertory’s MainStage Series features ‘Little Shop of Horrors’
It’s everyone’s favorite boy-meets-girl, plant-eats-world love story: “Little Shop of Horrors,” which is playing through Nov. 15 at SecondStory Repertory.
Showtimes for the MainStage Series are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday with 2 p.m. select Sunday matinees.
For ticket information, visit www.secondstoryrep.org. The theater is located at 7325 166th Ave. N.E., Suite F250.
Take a musical jour-ney through the streets of Skid Row to a strug-
gling flower shop where a blood-thirsty plant from another world eagerly awaits its next victim. Seductive, tragic and full of delightfully demented humor, this long-running off-Broadway musi-cal comedy is based on Roger Corman’s B-movie and was later turned into a Broadway show and an Academy Award-nominated film starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.
Book and lyrics from Howard Ashman and mu-sic by Alan Menken, the legendary team behind the scores for Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.”
Enjoy a night of bloody good fun with doo-wop inspired songs like “Skid Row,” “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Feed Me” and “Suddenly, Seymour.”
Directed by Ken Mi-chels
Music direction by John Allman
Featuring: Brad Walker as Seymour Krelborn
• In the Theater for Young Audiences season, “Alice in Wonderland” will run through Nov. 8.
Showtimes are 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Follow Alice on a madcap adventure down the rabbit hole and into a magical fantasyland. Local author/composer John Allman’s spin on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” becomes curiouser and curiouser the further down you go and features characters from the book not typi-cally brought to life on stage.
Alice stumbles upon crazy tea parties, a wily
Cheshire Cat and has a bizarre encounter with the tyrannical Queen of Hearts.
Directed by Adam Minton
Archimedes School moves to larger space as student enrollment grows
In November, students returning to classes at the Archimedes School in downtown Redmond will come back to a new expanded school space, more teachers and excit-ing new classes to choose from.
“We are moving to a much larger space, located in the next build-ing. We will have larger
classrooms for our coding and math students, more space for one-on-one math tutoring and room for our new 3D printer,” reads a press release.
With the space expan-sion, Archimedes has ex-panded its coding classes for students. Students can learn to code in Scratch, Small Basic and Python and more advanced pro-gramming languages like JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Students learn tech-nologies actually used by professionals in the computing industry. And the 3D print revo-lution has arrived the Archimedes purchase of a Dremel Industrial 3D printer for student use. Students will learn how to draw models and use the popular SketchUp 3D modeling application to create designs that can be
3D printed on the school’s own 3D printer.
Archimedes students learn in a fun and safe environment on Archi-medes school computers, with a former Microsoft engineer.
“This year, I made the decision to keep teach-ing young minds how to program and resigned from Microsoft to fully commit to the Archi-medes school success. Offering high quality curriculums in computer programming cannot be a part-time position and requires dedication and commitment. Leaving Microsoft for Archimedes makes a strong statement of belief in the success of our school as a state of the art mind sharpener for our young genera-tion.” said Ivan Pavicevic, co-founder.

City accepting tourism applications
The City of Redmond will accept applications for its 2016 Tourism Promotion Grant Pro-gram until 5 p.m. today.

The grants are avail-able to help fund projects that stimulate tourism and the local economy in Redmond and are paid by a por-tion of the one percent sales tax on hotel rooms located in Redmond.
Grants may not exceed 50 percent of the cost of the project.
The Redmond Lodg-ing Tax Advisory Com-mittee will evaluate qualifying applications on a competitive basis,
using the official tour-ism promotion funding criteria, and will for-ward recommendations to the mayor and City Council for approval.
City Council will award the grants in January 2016.
For more information, call Jill Smith, economic development manager, at (425) 556-2448 or [email protected].
