Park plans ‘not in concert with neighborhood,’ opponent says

BILL CHRISTIANSON

[email protected]

Harold Zeitz says he has nothing against the two decade-old, make-shift community bike park near his house on Education Hill.

But he is against to the city’s plans for expansion.

Zeitz said he is one of more than 100 resi-dents who oppose a planned bike project that would add more dirt-jump style bike trails to a piece of city-owned utility property within Hartman Park.

Zeitz is concerned the expansion of trails for BMX and mountain bike riders will draw more people from outside the neighbor-hood, creating parking, noise and crime problems inside his quiet residential neigh-borhood. In addition, Zeitz said he worries about the impact the expansion will have on the wetlands and wooded area near the bike jumps.

“It’s not in concert with the neighbor-hood,” Zeitz said of the expansion plans. “It will have a huge impact on the neighbor-hood. We hope our concerns are heard.”

Zeitz, along with fellow Education Hill resident Rob Katz, will be representing an appellant group of 32 other neighbors at an upcoming Redmond City Council appeal hearing concerning the city’s plans for the new Redmond Bike Park.

Education Hill resident Stephen Gasser has also filed an appeal application with the city and will speak at the upcoming hearing, set for 7:30 p.m. May 8 at Redmond City Hall during a regular City Council meeting.

REDMOND BIKE PARK

Rogan Kooper, 12, was one of more than 100 residents who planted several hundred trees and shrubs on a one-acre downtown site next to Bear Creek on Saturday as part of the Northwest Adopt A Stream Foundation program. “Plants next to Bear Creek provide shade that helps keep water temperature cool just the way salmon like it,” said Adopt A Stream Foundation director Tom Murdoch. “The roots hold soil in place and leaves and twigs that fall into the creek become food for micro-organisms, which become food for underwater insects, which become food for fish. Everything is connected together.” On Saturday, volunteers helped make those connections with the guidance from Adopt A Stream Foundation ecologists and technicians, City of Redmond Public Works biologists and Earth Corps youths.

Students strolling through the Univer-sity of Washington’s Bothell campus are confronted with countless challenges — tests, research papers and many more — but invading robots fighting a biological battle isn’t the typical academic bout.

Nevertheless, three students there used that idea in a technology competition that gives high school and college students the opportunity to create technology solu-

tions to help improve education, health-care, the environment and more.

Their entry was designed to teach players about the threats of germs and bacteria and to educate about hygiene. It was one of many at the U.S. finals of Microsoft’s Imagine Cup held Monday on the company’s Redmond campus. The Bothell team took third place in the Game Design — Windows/Xbox category.

“One of the biggest problems in devel-oped cities and countries is we all touch the same handrails and tables without washing

our hands enough,” said Evan Harris, of the Bothell team Credit/No Credit. “That’s how these epidemics begin,” he said, referring specifically to concentrated populations with constant contact such as at middle and high schools.

The winners in the three cup categories — Arizona State; Carnegie Mellon Univer-sity in Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Drexel Univer-sity in Philadelphia, Pa., will represent the United States in Sydney this summer.

Bill Campbell has always enjoyed building things and when paired with his love for math, science and prob-lem solving, it’s no surprise his passions led him to the City of Redmond Public Works Department.

“Working in public works is all about that stuff,” the City of Redmond public works director said.

Campbell, who had previ-ously worked as an engineer-ing instructor at Spokane Community College, was hired as a project engineer for the city’s public works department in July 1990 and worked his way up in various positions before becoming department director in 2007. On Monday, he will retire af-ter a 22-year career that has included projects ranging from the installation of vari-ous traffic lights throughout Redmond to the Northeast 36th Street Bridge.

The very first project Campbell was in charge of was the installation of the traffic signal at the intersec-tion of West Lake Samma-mish Parkway and Bel-Red Road, which has been designated to be converted into a roundabout, though Campbell said he doesn’t know when that will be.

When asked about his very first project scheduled to receive a makeover, he laughed.

“That means I’ve been here a long time,” Campbell said.

And during this long tenure, he has come in con-tact with a lot of different people at the city, includ-ing former City Council

member Richard Cole, who retired in December. Cole was elected to Council two years before Campbell was hired and described Camp-bell as a gentleman.

“He’s just such a class act,” Cole said.

He said Council began working more with Camp-bell when he became the city engineer in 1997 and since then, Campbell has always been a professional. Cole said Campbell was able to anticipate any ques-tions Council might have about projects and would provide answers before the questions were even asked.

Even if the questions aren’t asked, it is likely Campbell will still know the answer as many of his colleagues said he has an extensive knowledge about anything related to public works in Redmond.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione described Campbell, who came to Redmond when Marchio-ne’s mother was mayor, as an encyclopedia of knowl-edge and he will miss that when Campbell retires.

“There will be a hole in my directors team,” Mar-chione said.

Marchione has appointed former Redmond Fire Chief Tim Fuller as the interim pub-lic works director while the city conducts a national search for a permanent director.

“While current pub-lic works managers will continue to oversee the day-to-day departmental functions, Tim will lead

the department for several months in continuing to align operations with our vision and customer service goals,” the mayor said.

Marchione said the search will begin next month and they hope to hire the new director by September.

Campbell said he will miss the people he has worked with during his many years. He said they are smart, hardworking and dedicated.

One particularly proud moment for Campbell came earlier this year. He said after the 2008 snowstorms, he worked with his staff to see how they could improve on the city’s response in such weather and went to Council to get members to authorize funding for more equipment and training. Campbell’s department was tested during the mid-Jan-uary snowstorms this year and he said they passed.

“They didn’t need me

around to do well,” Camp-bell said, explaining that he was in Hawaii during this time but was available by phone and email.

Campbell’s love for his staff is reciprocated. Public works Assistant Director Ron Grant said in addition to a good working relation-ship, he and Campbell have also shared a good personal relationship, which Grant will miss.

“Even more than (work-ing well together), we’re friends,” Grant said.

Campbell said he will probably try to get some work done around his house on the Sammamish Plateau, but isn’t sure what else he will do with his newfound free time yet — especially on Tuesday nights now that his atten-dance is no longer required at City Council meetings.

“It’s a little weird,” he said about having those evenings free now. “I’m not sure what Tuesday will be like.”

The Port of Seattle and the Manufacturing Industrial Council raised an interesting $3 billion issue last week: a third sports stadium in the area of the Mariners’ and

Seahawks’ facilities might cripple the marine-cargo business along the Seattle waterfront.

Why, you say, should we here on the Eastside care? Every-one in King County is part of the Port of Seattle district and our taxes support it. Equally, the success of the Port is vital to the success of the region.

As the groups see it, a third stadium would add more congestion to an already crowded corridor and threaten the ability to move goods in and out of the region. Seattle isn’t the only option to ship goods out or in to the United States. The more difficult conditions here become, the more likely companies are to seek a different port.

Just this month, The Port of Tacoma lured three shippers from Seattle – about 20 percent of the Seattle Port’s business – which will make Tacoma the biggest container port on Puget Sound by cargo volume.

OK, we know that another stadium won’t wipe out the Seattle Port’s $3 billion business. But, as Dave Gering, head of the Manufacturing Industrial Council, says, “what part of $3

billion do you want to give up?”We’d prefer none of it.The problem with another stadium isn’t the stadium itself,

but the do-nothing attitude on the part of Seattle to deal with congestion. Three overpasses were promised to deal with freight movement around the two stadiums we have now, but only one was built.

Also, while Seattle has found the money to update its

bicycle master plan, it says it doesn’t have the money to update a freight-mobility plan. Perhaps Seattle is banking on everyone riding bikes to those football, baseball and basketball games.

Or making it impossible to drive there.Seattle isn’t the only option for a basketball/hockey arena.

Bellevue has several sites – one right on I-405 – that would do nicely. And it wouldn’t put $3 billion in jeopardy to build it.

Don’t put jobs at risk for proposed Seattle stadium

Proposed bike park plans doesn’t fit with our neighborhood

I’m writing in regards to the up-coming Redmond Bike Park Appeal to the City Council on May 8.

My husband and I have lived in the Education Hill neighborhood of Redmond for more than 12 years. We were drawn to this area largely because of the true Northwest look and feel of the neighborhood – lots

of open spaces, mature evergreen trees, and trails right in our own backyard.

For the most part, the City of Red-mond Parks Department has done a wonderful job developing and pre-serving our city parks. But recently, plans for developing a HUGE bike park on the perimeter of Hartman Park has gone askew. Homeowners in the adjacent neighborhood were told numerous times by parks staff that the existing illegal bike park would just be “improved” to make it more safe and accessible to novice

riders, but that the footprint of the jumps would remain the same. This sounded fine, so a lot of neighbors didn’t really take any notice.

However, revised plans for the bike park were submitted by the Parks Department to the City Council in June 2011 that expanded the park five to six times larger than the existing park today and includ-ed the removal of hundreds of trees from the area. Now the neighbor-hood has sat up and taken notice. Not only are the plans completely different than what had previously

been communicated to the neigh-borhood residences, but the size and scale of the project as it stands today is completely inappropriate for a residential neighborhood.

The last chance to appeal to the City Council is coming up on May 8 at 7:30 at City Hall. I urge all Education Hill neighbors to come to the meeting and help us preserve the true Northwest look and feel of our wonderful Education Hill neighborhood.Jean Chenevert, Redmond

I’m beginning to feel like one of those car-toon characters who

walks around with a big target on his back.

We have survived decades without serious botheration, but all of a sudden the telephone scammers have our number. We have had multiple calls in the past two or three months that have been variants of two scams that are cur-rently in vogue. I’ll describe them both, hopefully in enough detail that you can catch the drift early in the conversation.

The first is the “Grandma I need bail” scam. You get a call from a youthful-sounding person who starts out maybe cheerily (“Hi, Grandpa, this is your oldest and best-looking grandson”) or sound-

ing stuffed up and hassled (“Hi, Grandpa, it’s me. I need your help”) The caller will do his best to convince you that he is indeed your grandson, sometimes with the help of information gleaned from Facebook, public announcements, etc.

If you let him keep talking, he will quickly get to the point. He is in an embarrassing situation, in fact he is under arrest, and desperately in need of money to bail himself out. He is (sometimes) in a foreign country – Spain or Canada are favorites – and they won’t take his check. He wants to get out of there, and of course he doesn’t want Mom or Dad to know anything about this.

The next step in the process is for him or an accomplice to come

up with explicit directions for wire transfer of a specific sum to a particular account somewhere. In one case in Oregon, the “grand-parents” were directed to go to the Multonamah County Justice Center and meet with a specific individual. They did, and only the alert intervention of a custodial officer prevented the scammer, who was actually serving prison time at that moment and was in the center on an unrelated hearing, from consummating the deal.

If you pose too serious a chal-lenge early on, the caller will suddenly realize that you aren’t the grandparent after all, that he had dialed a wrong number.

This scam has probably been around for a long time, at least a dozen years and likely more. We all want to help our grandchildren,

of course, but exercising a little healthy skepticism when you get a call like that will help ensure that it is in fact your grandchild that you are helping.

The second is the “Windows Technical Staff ” scam. I am par-ticularly annoyed with this caller because he woke me up at about 7:15 the other morning with his pitch.

This one works by the caller insisting that he is “certified” by Microsoft and that Microsoft has received reports through the auto-matic system that your Windows computer has been the subject of cyber attacks, and he has been authorized to solve the problem, no charge to you of course. All he needs is some information about

UW Bothell had two teams competing. Kine-ctMath used Microsoft’s motion-capture technol-ogy, Kinect, to illustrate mathematical concepts in a way that allowed students to participate.

“What we set out to do was develop an application that can make math more approachable,” said Jeb Pav-leas, a senior at UW-Bothell.

As UW-Bothell students were trying to eradicate disease, two booths down found the youngest team showing the tradeoffs involved in technological advances. The team from Springbrook High School in Silver Spring, Md., devel-oped a game based on the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011.

Players go through a vari-ety of levels where they must build a network of hydro-electric power, while still controlling a water wheel that blocks harmful materi-als such as cement from get-ting into the river. As players climb through the levels, the technology gets better, but the environmental conse-quences increase. By the end, dams can cause buildup, but more homes have power.

“Technology has positives and negatives and they have to be weighed to figure out if it’s worth it,” said Andrew Dicken, a member of the Springbrook team known as Digital Infinity, which finished in second in its division.

The contest, which Microsoft created 10 years ago, was built to help prepare aspiring program-ers and developers for a growing computer industry. Microsoft estimates that by 2016, an additional 800,000 high-end computing jobs will be created.

Harris, who is just a few months away from graduat-ing, is hoping to end up in one of those jobs. His ultimate goal is to work for either Google or Microsoft as an algorithmic developer.

At least for the next few months, he will have to settle for eradicating dis-ease, one Xbox at a time.

The information, of course, is what he is after. There may be vari-ants where he asks for credit card information, as well, or even for pay-ment, but the real value to the thief is informa-tion that can lead to accessing anything that is on your computer

Microsoft has stated that they never make nor do they authorize representa-tives to make, unsolicited calls and the company further has issued explicit warnings about this scam. Just tell the caller you don’t have a problem and hang up immediately — or if you have an air horn handy, give it a blast into the phone.

There seem to be increasing numbers of scams out there, so pro-tect yourself by question-ing any unusual call, no matter how plausible it appears to be.

Fashion is coming to SoulFood Books and it’s all for a good cause.

On Sunday night from 6-9 p.m., the bookstore and cafe at 15748 Redmond Way in Redmond will open after hours to hold a fashion show and silent auction to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital and the American Cancer Society (ACS).

“Reaching Extraordinary is Never Unattainable” (RENU) is the brainchild of organizers Maryam Rouhfar of Redmond and Asha Singh of Sammamish, both of whom have personal ties to the event’s two beneficiaries.

Rouhfar moved to the Pacific Northwest from Iran 20 years ago with her family so her sister, who had been diagnosed with a type of bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma, could be treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Half of the proceeds from RENU will go toward uncompensated care at the hospital to help families who can’t afford it — some-thing Rouhfar is familiar with as her family had limited funds when they moved from Iran.

“This is just my way of giving back,” she said.

Rouhfar and Singh chose the ACS, which will receive the other half of the proceeds, as their second organization to donate to as a way to honor Singh’s father, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago.

Singh, a senior at Eastlake High School, has participated in the ACS’s annual Relay for Life fund-raiser in the past but said she wanted to do something more. She came up with the idea of organizing a silent auction, which will include jewelry, handbags, outerwear, children’s toys, artwork and more.

The event is also Singh’s senior project and Rouhfar, who has some marketing experience is Singh’s men-tor for the project. Singh said throughout the process she has learned a lot, but there is one thing she has found to be the most vital.

“I’ve learned that organization is the most important thing,” she said about putting on any type of event.

This is also Rouhfar’s first time organizing any type of event as well.

She and Singh work together at Janie and Jack in Redmond Town Center and the two decided to collabo-rate around late December last year and early January. The fashion show will feature and promote Rouhfar’s developing shoe designing business, Stroke of Midnight, while at the same time, pro-vide Singh with a quality se-nior project and raise money for two good causes.

Both Rouhfar and Singh

said finding a venue for RENU was a little difficult as not many places were willing to host an event put on by individuals who had no experience. But when Rouhfar, a regular at Soul-Food, approached owner Clint McCune about the event, he was all for it.

McCune’s store holds events on a regular basis, so he was familiar with what it would take, but he admitted

that he had no experience with fashion or putting on a fashion show.

“We’d never done one be-fore,” he said. “I’ve had to pull up different fashion shows, watch them and see what their key ingredients are.”

McCune said it was a challenge figuring out the logistics of turning Soul-Food’s space into a runway, but he was excited to try something new. He also

said it has also been great to work with Rouhfar and Singh.

“(Rouhfar) is a great designer,” he said.

About Singh, he said, “I’m always impressed when I meet a youngster who is driven with a mission.”

The first two hours of RENU will be for the silent auction, announcements and a short video. The fash-ion show, which will feature about 10 shoe designs by Rouhfar, will begin at 8 p.m.

FIRMLY EMBEDDED IMPLANTSBecause they are firmly embedded in the jawbone, dental implants provide a prosthetic-tooth solution that feels as natural as it looks. In fact, the titanium implant that the dentist inserts in the bone underlying the replaced tooth may actually be more solidly anchored than the tooth root it replaces. Once the implant is solidly screwed into the pilot hole in the bone, it undergoes a process known as “osseointegration,” which means that the titanium metal fuses to the surrounding bone. Once this process is completed, and the implant site is fully healed, it is ready to receive the crown (visible portion of the tooth) restoration. The result is a freestanding replacement tooth that will not move or slip.

As much as an implanted tooth resembles a natural tooth in terms of structure and appearance, it must be brushed, flossed, and cared for in the same ways that the other teeth are.

Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we can give you a smile so beautiful, friends will comment on how much more radiant you look. We provide a full range of dental treatments, including preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Every patient is given the most relaxing, stress-free dental visit possible.

Gasser agrees with Zeitz that the project is too large in scope for the surround-ing neighborhood and also expressed concerns about the public notice process by the city in his two-page appeal application.

The planned park, locat-ed on two acres of wooded land near the corner of 171st Avenue Northeast and Northeast 100th Street, calls for extending the two dirt-jump style trails that are currently there and adding three more trails. The trails would feature jumps for all levels, from beginners to advanced. In addition, a multi-use trail would be built around the perimeter of the park.

“I don’t want to back an amusement park,” said Katz, whose property borders the proposed bike park. “This is going to be a big attraction, so why are they putting this in a neighborhood?”

CONSTRUCTION PUT ON HOLD

After several community design meetings, construc-tion of the new Redmond Bike Park was set to begin last summer. But those plans were put on hold after Zeitz, Katz and other neighbors appealed the

site entitlement plan and the State Environmental Pro-tection Act (SEPA) plan to a hearing examiner, who ruled in favor of the city last December.

At the upcoming May 8 appeal hear-ing, the Redmond City Council will evaluate the hearing examiner’s decision regarding the proj-ect’s site entitlement plan. Only Zietz and Katz, along with Gasser, the other formal appellant, and city representatives will be able to address the Council dur-ing the hearing, but anyone may attend the hearing.

Robin Jenkinson, the Kirkland city attorney, will be acting as the Redmond City Council’s legal advisor on the matter. Redmond City Attorney, James Haney, will represent the City of Redmond Parks Department, Planning Department and Technical Committee.

Council will vote to grant or deny the appeal and will serve as the final decision of the city, according to a city proceeding notice.

“I am confident that when the Council reviews the record made before the hear-ing examiner and the argu-

ments made by the parties, the Council will deny the appeal and uphold the permits, just as the hearing examiner did,” Haney said in an email to the Reporter.

If Council denies the appeal, then Zietz can appeal to the King County Superior Court, which he said he plans to do if the May 8 appeal is denied.

Zeitz and Katz have already filed a Com-plaint for Declaratory Judgement in King County Superior Court regarding the project’s SEPA plan. That appeal won’t be heard by the county superior court until August of 2013, according to Katz, meaning this project could be delayed by at least another year.

Katz said the park’s expansion plans would in-terfere with the buffer zone around the wetlands area east of the bike park.

“We would lose that pro-tective barrier,” he said. “It’s the city’s job to validate and protect the wetlands. Why don’t they want to protect the wetlands?”

If Council denies the site entitlement appeal at the May 8 hearing, then Katz and

Zeitz can add that appeal to their current SEPA lawsuit in King County Superior Court.

“We want the Council to take a good, hard look at this,” Zeitz said. “We don’t intend to stop. We intend to see this through.”

The hearing examiner’s decision can only be over-turned by City Council if council members find “that the hearing examiner had erred someplace along the line,” according to Council President Pat Vache, who could not share his opinions about the bike park because the issue is quasi-judicial.

Redmond resident Doug Schmitt, the co-chair of the bike park’s citizen steer-ing committee, said he is frustrated by the opponents who have delayed the bike park project, which is de-signed for giving neighbor-hood residents a healthy, recreational outlet.

“I think they are wasting a lot of people’s money and time,” he said. “The kids need something to do. It’s constructive and good. It’s exercise. If this gets kids out of the house and spending energy, then I’m all for it.”

SO WHAT’S THE BEST SOLUTION?

The dirt jumps near Hart-man Park have been around for about 20 years, during

which time residents would construct dirt ramps and jumps on the parcel, only to have the city come bulldoze them down when they got too high or dangerous.

Plans for the Redmond Bike Park began in 2009 when Mayor John Mar-chione instructed staff to look into a way of legitimiz-ing the dirt jumps in the wooded area into a city park. City officials say the park would be built mostly by volunteers who use the park so the construction budget would be minimal. In addition, this will create a sense of ownership and responsibility for users to-ward the park, city officials and bike park supporters say.

Schmitt said no matter what the final decision is, the bike park will continue to get used and built up by the bike users.

“They would have to fence that place off with barbed wire to keep people off those trails,” Schmitt said. “They are never going to get rid of that park. That’s the reason the city wanted to do something.”

Zeitz said the best solu-tion is to keep the park the size it is now and establish it as a city-sanctioned park.

“It’s been used for 20 years, so it must be pretty good as it is now,” Zeitz said. “Let’s formalize it, but keep it the same size. Let’s keep it a neighborhood park, not a regional park.”

BRAIN FOOD While small amounts of “trans-fatty acids” (hydrogenated fats) oc-cur naturally in meat and dairy products, they are largely artificial fats that are added to processed foods to extend their shelf life and lend a buttery flavor. However, not only do trans-fats cause a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, they are also linked to impaired cognitive function and brain shrinkage. Thus, people of all ages, and seniors in particular, are strongly encouraged to avoid foods containing trans fats. On the other hand, they are urged to eat brain-healthy foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. A list of these foods includes fatty fish, nuts such as walnuts, antioxidant fruits (berries) and vegetables (spinach), and whole grains. P.S. To maintain sharper thinking ability, avoid processed meats, high-fat dairy products, and meats rich in omega-6 fats.The experienced and caring staff at PETERS CREEK RETIRE-MENT/ASSISTED LIVING knows the importance of providing healthy, delicious and nutritious meals and snacks to our senior residents.

...YOUNG @ HEART

REPORTER STAFF

John Urquhart announced Tuesday that he will run for the office of King County Sheriff this year.

Urquhart will challenge Chief Deputy Steve Strachan, who is also running and currently serv-ing as the interim sheriff.

If elected in November, Urquhart will finish out former Sheriff Sue Rahr’s term, which concludes at the end of 2013. Rahr stepped down on March 31 to become director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC).

Urquhart joined the King County Sheriff ’s Office (KCSO) in 1988, when it was called King County Police, and worked as a public information officer and ad-ministrative aid for Rahr and her predecessor-turned-U.S. Repre-

sentative Dave Reichert.Urquhart retired from

KCSO earlier this year, but has remained active in the local policing community.

Urquhart, who grew up in north Seattle, has served as a police officer in Washington for 36 years including stints as a patrol officer, field training officer, mas-ter police officer and street-level vice/narcotics detective.

“It was not a decision made lightly, but made after careful con-sideration and with input from of a variety of individuals both inside and outside the sheriff ’s of-fice, as well as my family,” he said in a written statement about his decision to run for sheriff.

In his statement, the Mercer Island resident had two messages, one to the citizens of King County and one to the deputies in the KCSO.

To the citizens, he said his cam-paign will be based on leadership and accountability. He said he

doesn’t want to risk losing citizens’ support and if that happens, “it will not be because our deputies don’t care. It will be be-cause of a lack of leader-ship within the agency.”

He added that citizens want many things from the KCSO, including

balance.“They want a police agency that

is tough on crime, but understands you can’t arrest your way out of every problem in society,” he said.

Urquhart said it is important for the sheriff ’s office to listen to its citizens before taking action and be held accountable for those actions.

“That means we have to hold ourselves accountable first,” he said in his statement. “We have to take organizational responsibility for what we do.”

Urquhart’s plan to do this is four-fold: First, he said he would increase the KCSO’s Internal In-vestigations Unit staff experience to include at least one experienced

detective-sergeant immediately. Second, he would stop the

practice of transferring citizen complaints to unexperienced and untrained patrol sergeants for investigation.

Third he plans to ensure that administrative reviews of officer-involved shootings are done on a timely basis as required by KCSO’s policy manual.

And finally, Urquhart said if elected, he will form a Use of Force Review Board, specifically to examine force issues where there is a serious injury to a citi-zen or deputy.

“In the weeks and months lead-ing up to the election, I will put forth additional proposals regard-ing changes I will make as sheriff, including how domestic violence, gang crimes and burglaries are investigated,” he said in his state-ment. “I will talk about how we can get back to an emphasis on community policing and prob-lem-solving police work.”

Urquhart added that it is also time

for sensible reform to drug laws, specifically regarding marijuana.

To the deputies of the KCSO, he said in his statement that they are given “an incredible responsibility.”

“You have the power to take someone’s freedom away and to use force to ensure compliance,” he said. “You have the power — and some-times the duty — to take a human life. Citizens expect you to use that power wisely, fairly and judiciously, as I will when I am sheriff.”

He continued to tell deputies that he will expect them to use that authority and be proactive in their police work, adding that he will provide them with the train-ing and tools to do so.

Urquhart graduated from Ingraham High School in Seattle and later from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in business, which he said will help him if elected.

“I have a very strong business background so I know what it means to balance a budget and make a payroll,” he said.

The Overlake School in Redmond is among four schools in Washington to receive the U.S. Department of Education’s new Green Ribbon Schools Award.

The award recognizes public and private schools that excel in the areas of environmental impact and energy efficiency, healthy school environments and environmental and sustain-ability education.

Overlake, which serves 533 students in fifth through 12th grades, was the only private school to be recognized. The three public schools were Camelot Elementary School in Auburn, Tahoma Junior

High School in Ravensdale and Secondary Academy for Success in Bothell. The four schools were the only schools in the state to be nominated for the award.

Overlake’s Green Team of parents, students, faculty and staff was founded in 2007 after supporters donated nearly $100,000 at the school’s annual auction to fund a “green” program. Service Learning Direc-tor Chris Berry served as Green Team coordinator for the first several years.

Berry will represent Over-lake in Washington D.C. in June at the Green Ribbon Schools Award ceremony.

Also representing the school will be Melody Gulledge, project director for the construction of Overlake’s Outdoor Wise Learning Spaces (OWLS), which are outdoor learning and fitness areas and trails. Gullege now serves as the school’s director of sustainability.

“Green Ribbon Schools demonstrate compelling ex-amples of the ways schools can expand their course-work while also helping children build real world skill sets, cut school costs, and provide healthy learn-ing environments,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

Pet Tips - If you won’t talk to your cat about catnip, who will?

Here are four things every cat lover should know about this mysterious plant that preoccupies our furry friends!1. Catnip is an actual plant. A member of the mint family, Nepeta cataria L. (aka catnip)

grows throughout the United States. The plant features small, lavender flowers and jagged, heart-shaped leaves that smell faintly of mint.

2. It’s easy to grow. Cat lovers who possess a green thumb can grow catnip from

seed. This herbaceous flowering plant will return each year with proper care.

3. Your cat may have any or all of the following catnip effects.-- meow and roll in the catnip-- rub their cheeks against the spot where catnip has ben sprinkled-- roll on their back, or gaze up at the ceiling-- run around the room like a kitten playing with a friend-- settle into a dreamy pose4. Most cats love it.

In the rural parts of Dominican Republic, there are no plush turf baseball fields.

An open patch of dirt and weeds is where kids play baseball.

There are no fences around the ball field. Instead, grazing cows serve as the home run marker.

Players arrive at the baseball field on horse rather than in a car.

There is no such thing as conces-sion stands in this country, which has about a third of its population living under the poverty line.

Many of the kids love to play baseball, but can’t because they don’t have shoes or a shirt to wear.

The Overlake-Bear Creek baseball team recently got to see firsthand the harsh realities of this Caribbean country along with the passion and fortitude of its residents.

Earlier this month, three coaches and 13 players embarked on a one-week service trip to the Dominican Republic, where they held a skills clinic for underprivileged kids, visited an all-boys orphanage and provided food for families in need.

The Growls did play four baseball games against local teams, but this trip wasn’t about sharpening their baseball skills.

It was all about helping others while building team camaraderie, according to Growls head coach Mike Davidson.

“The truth is, it was never a baseball trip first,” said Davidson. “That was just the context to get this group together. It was first and

foremost a service trip.”The trip was part of Overlake’s

service project week. There were three students from the Bear Creek

School who went along on the trip and the school’s administration was in full support of the program, Davidson said.

The trip was administered by an organization called SCORE International, which specializes in mission trips to the Dominican Republic and other countries, in-cluding trips for sports teams.

During their trip, the Growls didn’t get any wins on the baseball field, but they scored plenty of victories with the people they met along the way.

Overlake sophomore Zander Go-sanko organized a used baseball gear drive before the trip that generated 200 pounds of baseball gloves, bats, shoes and more. During the trip, players gave the gear out to oppos-ing team members and the kids they taught at a skills clinic in Boca Chica.

Growl players also gave Do-minican Republic players their practice jerseys, hats and bats and sometimes even their shoes after the game.

“It was a great feeling that we were able to help kids play baseball, which is something they love to do,” said Gasanko.

Even in warm ups and in between innings, the Dominican Republic players played with an un-rivaled passion and fire, according to Growl players and coaches.

“Just watching them warm up, you could see they really love base-ball,” said Overlake senior Michael Andrea, one of six seniors who made the trip. “Coming back here we really realized how good we have it and that makes us love the sport that much more.”

The trip has certainly had an im-pact on the Growls as they have won four of their five games since return-ing from the trip. While the wins are racking up for the Growls, their new perspective on life and the meaning of team will never be forgotten.

“This trip was amazing,” Gasanko said. “It definitely made me value what I have and made be thankful that I get to carry a team bag to the ball park.”

The Redmond High School baseball team pulled out another win Monday night — one that looked impossible after the first inning.

Skyline led 8-0 after the first inning, but the Mustangs scored five runs each in the third and fourth innings to rally for a 12-8 victory at Hartman Park. The Mustangs have won 11 straight after Monday's Kingco 4A victory against the Crest Division-leading Spartans.

With that win, the Mus-tangs clinched a spot in the Kingco 4A playoff tourna-ment, which starts Saturday, May 5 at Woodinville High School.

Redmond improved to 8-4 in the division race and are just one game behind the Spartans. After starting the season 0-7, the Mustangs are now 11-7 overall. The Mustangs' game against Newport Wednesday night was rained out and was played Thursday after the Report-er's deadline. That was the final home game for the 12 Redmond seniors.

One of those seniors, pitcher Thomas Crosley, came on in relief in the first inning and shut down the Spartans, allowing just two base runners after the Spar-tans' first-inning outburst.

Redmond started its rally with a five-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run

double by sophomore Brandon Burditt. Redmond scored five more runs in the fourth as Cody Beliel, Peter Hendron, Lucas Eliason and Peyton Lutz all notched hits in the inning.

Burditt finished with two hits and three RBIs. Both Beliel and Hendron each went 3 for 5 and scored three runs.

The Mustangs scored two more in the fifth in-ning and senior Adam Cline pitched the final 2 1/3 innings for his third save of the year.

Klug leads OverlaKe sOccer tO victOry

Jesse Klug’s second-half hat trick propelled the Overlake School boys’ soccer team past Bellevue Christian, 4-0, in an Em-erald City League contest Tuesday at Overlake.

With the win, the Owls claimed the regular-season league title and a first-round bye in the upcoming Tri-District tournament.

Goalkeeper J.J. Cardenas earned the shutout for the Owls, who improved to 9-0-1 in league and 10-0-1 overall.

Klug kicked all of his goals in a five-minute span, scoring in the 53rd, 56th and 58th minutes.

redmOnd sOccer beats garfield, 3-1

Redmond High School junior Andrew Leadbeater scored two goals as the Mustangs beat Garfield, 3-1, in a Kingco 4A contest Tuesday at Walter L. Se-abloom Stadium.

Garfield scored first in the 20th minute, but Red-mond responded with the equalizer in the 42nd min-ute by Coop Bilginer. From there, Leadbeater took over the scoring duties, netting goals in the 55th and 60th minutes. Redmond's Tyler Bennett collected two as-sists in the win.

The Mustangs evened their Kingco record at 4-4 and improved to 8-5 overall.

bOthell nips redmOnd fastpitch, 5-4

The Redmond High School fastpitch team mounted a comeback against Bothell, but fell

short, 5-4, in a Kingco 4A game Wednesday at Hart-man park.

The Mustangs trailed 5-1 in the bottom of fifth, when they scored two runs to cut the lead to 5-3. Redmond scored another run in the bottom of the seventh, but Bothell pitcher Savannah Rose escaped with the win.

Redmond's Natalie Roberts had three hits and scored a run. Her teammate, Louise Chouinard added two hits in four at-bats. Hannah Raudebaugh fin-ished with two RBIs for the Mustangs, who fell to 1-6 in league play and 5-7 overall.

redmOnd girls’ gOlf KnOcKs Off sKyline

The Redmond High School girls’ golf team stretched its Kingco 4A winning streak to 93 with a 226-342 win against Roosevelt Tuesday.

Redmond’s Keira O’Hearn, Melissa Marquez and Cassie Helgeson all

shot 44s as the Mustangs recorded their lowest score of the season. Makaela Hay-ward shot a 45 after missing a month with an injury.

The Mustangs, who have not lost a league match since 2003, take on Newport Thursday in a key Kingco showdown at 3 p.m. at Bear Creek Golf and Country Club.

charles Wright slOWs dOWn grOWls

The Overlake-Bear Creek baseball had its four-game winning streak snapped

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.

To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning � rm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new of� ce and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-ef� cient of� ce building in the Paci� c Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certi� cation and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and of� ces — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed.

Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
