Redmond's planned new secondary choice school remains in the permitting process, but it received a substantial fi nan-cial boost Tuesday from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to help fund equip-ment for the school's four laboratories and professional development for teachers.

Th e foundation announced a $400,000 grant award to the Lake Washington School District's new STEM school for "creations of labs and professional development for teachers who will be embracing STEM education," according to Bonnie Benjamin-Phariss, the founda-tion's program director for education.

"I think there is a role for private phi-lanthropy in assisting the public school system," said Sue Coliton, the founda-tion's vice president. "Th is grant will help catalyze a type of teaching."

Th e choice school would serve students in grades 9-12 from throughout the district on a lottery basis and have a cur-riculum dedicated to science, technology, engineering and mathematics — also know as STEM. Th e seven-acre building site is located on property next to Alcott Elementary at 4213 228th Ave. N.E. in unincorporated King County between Redmond and Sammamish city limits.

Th e Lake Washington School District (LWSD) school board could vote to hire its preferred new superintendent candidate as early as Feb. 27, according to LWSD communication director Kathryn Reith.

Feb. 27 will be the next time the topic will be on a board meet-ing agenda and Reith said the outcome will depend on how the

conversation goes that evening.“(Th e board will) discuss it,”

she said. “Th ey could conceiv-ably decide to vote (on hiring a new superintendent).”

Th e earliest the board could have made a decision previous-ly was Jan. 30. However, due to the snow, wind and ice storms Jan. 16-20, the district had to reschedule three of its meet-and-greet events with preferred candidate Dr. Traci Pierce originally set for that week.

Th ese meetings are an op-portunity for the public to meet Pierce, who has been with LWSD for 17 years and is cur-rently the deputy superinten-dent of instructional services, and provide feedback for the LWSD board of directors. Th ree events have already been held Jan. 10 at Redmond City Hall and, Jan. 25 at the LWSD Resource Center and Th ursday

at Kirkland City Hall. A fourth and final meeting will be held Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Samma-mish City Hall, located at 801 228th Ave. S.E. in Sam-mamish.

The new timeline will allow more residents the op-portunity to meet Pierce and give their input by filling out comment cards at the meet and greets or online through LWSD’s website at lwsd.org.

“We’ve extended the date for community comment,” Reith said.

The new deadline for online comments is the end of the day Feb. 22, exactly one month after the original deadline. This will give the LWSD board time to review all the feedback and input they receive before the Feb. 27 meeting.

LWSD School Board President Jackie Pender-grass said she couldn’t say much about what may hap-pen at that meeting other than that the board will be discussing Pierce’s candi-dacy for superintendent.

“At this time, all I can say is that it will be on the agenda Feb. 27 for the board to decide either to accept Traci as superintendent or not,” Pendergrass said.

The board did an inter-nal review before naming Pierce as their preferred candidate last December to replace current superin-tendent Dr. Chip Kimball, who will leave LWSD at the end of the school year to be superintendent at the Sin-gapore American School, Pendergrass said. She said the board will not be look-ing outside the district for Kimball’s replacement.

A hearing date for those appeals has yet to be determined and a permit cannot be granted until the appeals are decided upon by the hearing examiner, said Miller, who declined to comment on the appellants' case. Miller said the start date for construction on the new school is still up in the air because of the pending appeals, but the district is shooting to open the new school — at least part of it — by this fall.

The planned opening of the new STEM school is set to coincide with the district's switch to a new grade configuration in the fall. Starting in the fall, all LWSD high schools will serve students in ninth through 12th grades, while junior highs will be changed to middle schools for sixth- through eighth-graders and elementary schools will serve students through fifth grade.

A THREE-PHASE PROJECTOnce the district gets

approval for construction, the entire foundation of the school would be built and from there, the project would be built in three phases because "there is not enough time to build the entire school by fall," Miller said. The first phase of the project is expected to be open to 150 freshmen and 150 sophomores by this fall for the start of the 2012-13 school year. The second phase is expected to be complete by Janu-ary of 2013 and the entire construction project done by May or June of 2013, according to Miller.

The district chose the three-phase construc-tion approach for the new STEM school because there will be only 300 students using the school that first year, Miller said.

Once the first phase is complete, "the school will have enough space for 300 students," Miller said

As those 150 fresh-man and 150 sophomores matriculate, the STEM school will continue to accept ninth-graders and will have students in every high school grade level by the fall of 2014, according to district communications director Kathryn Reith. By 2014, there will be 600 full-time students attending the STEM school, Reith said. The new 66,000-square-foot school would accommodate up to 675 students, allow-

ing another 150 part-time juniors and seniors from other high schools to enroll in elective lab classes at the STEM school, according to Reith.

The new STEM school, a modular prefabricated building, will feature 24 classrooms, four laborato-ries, two common areas and a presentation hall. There will be no gymnasium or athletic fields. Once the permits are issued, work will begin on site, while construction of sections of the school will be built off-site in Oregon and trucked up to Redmond, Miller

said, adding that is the first modular prefabricated school in the state.

TEACHING STRUCTUREWhile the construction

has yet to begin, Cindy Due-nas, the planning principal for the STEM school, along with her planning team, have been finalizing the academic structure of the school.

The STEM school's cur-riculum and graduation re-quirements will be the same as those at other district high schools, with a focus on prob-lem-based learning, digital literacy, inquiry, integration and research, Duenas said.

Students and staff will use STEM education to pursue solutions to real-world chal-lenges, such as clean energy, infrastructure and biomedical issues, Duenas said.

The first two years of study in the school are the "foundation years," Duenas said. Teachers will use an integrated approach to core classes, weaving the STEM theme of physics, engineer-ing and humanities into all areas of study, she added. Then in the students' junior and senior years, they will select a STEM lab concen-tration, which will combine several classes in a specific

focus, such as environmen-tal engineering and design or computer science.

"We want the student to provide viable solutions to real-world problems," Due-nas said. "The students will work with experts in the community and science-based businesses in the community. We want to get our kids ready for that type of work in college and in

their future professions."An informational meet-

ing about the new STEM school was held last Friday and district officials handed out 450 applications, show-ing a "real enthusiasm" for the new school, Reith said. The STEM school applica-tion deadline is Friday and notification letters will be sent out by Feb. 15, accord-ing to the LWSD website.

Good to see bipartisan support for gay marriage

It is wonderful to see politicians from both sides of the party spectrum come together to support marriage equality.

As the discussion about the rights and moral-ity of gay marriage have taken place over recent years, it is heartwarming to know that as people, we can evolve and be open to learning the merits about this debate.

I would like to thank all of these political representatives who have stepped up to make a stand for civil rights. In a time that has been so politically polarizing in the nation it is uplift ing to see true leadership transcend the status quo.Jaye Kinsella, Redmond

Same-sex marriage is not a civil right

How come the editorial page doesn’t have a name associated with the main editorial?

Is it safe to say it’s Bill Christianson? Was it his off ensive comments that were written in the editorial, “Same Sex, Same Rules”?

Your editorial appears to be supportive of this legislation.

How do you fi gure gays and lesbians deserve the right to be married? It is not a civil right.

Th e only people that deserve the privilege and right to marriage, is a man and a woman. It’s God’s design, so that mankind could reproduce.

Regardless of public opinion, mine, yours or anyone else ... just remember, God’s opinion is all that counts. He did destroy a city, Sodom and Gomorrah that was given over to this perverted lifestyle. It’s not just a Biblical fable.

God’s judgment is not something to mock or make fun of. I fear we’re on the same slippery slope, by yielding to these type of decisions.Ron Fleet, Redmond

Group Health needs to revise its Overlake plans

Th e board of the Redmond Historical Society, a group 130 dues-paying members and a base of around 1,000 people who receive our newslet-ter, urges Group Health to develop its Overlake property around — not without — most of the signifi cant and landmark trees that make it a special place.

History, and the landmarks that refl ect it, is made not just with people, events and build-ings, but nature too can provide the inspiration and sense of place that roots us as a community. Group Health’s board recognized that in 1977 when it acquired the property and built a beauti-ful campus around the trees.

We are not against the development, and we acknowledge that designing around most of those trees, especially the 65 landmark ones, might require a creative approach, but we also think doing so would make an incredible state-ment about Group Health’s vision as a valued community member.

In this year of Redmond’s Centennial, it’s worth remembering that those trees are much older than our human presence and represent a part of our heritage for which we have few remaining examples.Christine Himes, president of Redmond Historical Society

New SR-520 bridge will be Disneyland on pontoons

Your writer, Matt Phelps, wonders why people are so disdainful of the tolls on SR 520 in his Jan. 13 column, “Hypocrisy taking its toll on State Route 520 bridge.”

Let me answer a few of your questions or respond to your uninformed observations, Matt.

First, people question tolling I-90 to prop up the tolling of SR-520 because they were con-cerned about that eventuality back when the end of tolling on the old (and, still, the “current”) Evergreen Point Floating Bridge was in sight.

Laws were passed to codify the principle that you shouldn’t toll one route to support another, and people made long-term decisions about where to locate a business, buy a home, etc. based on those laws and the reality on the ground.

But Matt has drunk the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) grape Kool-Aid when it comes to describing what’s going on along the SR-520 corridor as a “replacement.”

A replacement would be to have a new, four-lane (two-each-way) bridge constructed, as-sembled, and fl oated into place. Th is could have happened years ago with funds that the WSDOT had in hand.

A slightly better replacement would have been to build a new bridge just wider enough to provide for a break-down lane on each shoul-der, giving disabled cars a place to pull over and allowing emergency responders to more quickly reach accidents and medical emergencies.

What we are getting as a “replacement” is, instead, Disneyland on pontoons with new lanes for transit, pedestrians, and bicycles. We’re build-ing massive lids on the Eastside, so where bridges once stood there will be parks and traffi c circles.

On the Seattle side, where they don’t have a clue as to how to fund another $2-billion-plus to complete their “vision,” the DOT will be putting in a 1,400-foot long lid to make it both pretty and quiet for those folks.

Th e WSDOT even “volunteered” some $22-million in SR 520 funds so the University of Washington could turn an $8-million pedestrian overpass into a grand “front porch.”

Th e $22-million represents fi ve months worth of tolls, so why not give it away?

Maybe Matt can explain why the SR 99 tunnel beneath Seattle is so worthy of tolling, too.

Aft er all, it will have fewer lanes, no down-town exits or on-ramps, and allow other people to enjoy the windfall of better views and prop-erty development opportunities.

Why avoid paying tolls on SR-520? Because this so-called “replacement” is jam-packed with goodies for just about everyone except the mo-toring public that’s paying for it.Bruce Haigh, Kirkland

Banning all cell phones is not the answer

In reference to the Reporter’s Jan. 6 editorial “Deadly Devices,” banning all cell phone use while driving may not be the answer. Cell phone use is addictive and is perceived by many as safe, especially when it is done hands-free. Addictive behavior is diffi cult to stop even when it is illegal.

In states where cell phone use is now banned there is evidence that many accidents are caused by drivers trying to hide their phones while using them.

One of the things to consider is that Ameri-cans don’t obey laws if they think the law is unfair, feel they won’t be caught, can aff ord the fi ne, or can get out of being convicted because they have a good lawyer.

People fl aunt the cell phone law that is cur-rently in eff ect because they mistakenly believe they are safe doing so and the chance of getting caught is so slim.

You can’t ban everything that is a distraction — we have all seen people eating a burger, putting on makeup, programming a GPS, or turning around to check on a toddler sitting in the back seat.

It oft en isn’t the distraction that is truly the cause of the accident but rather the fact that a driver may be following the vehicle in front of him too closely. How oft en do you see a line of cars traveling at 60 miles per hour with only two car lengths between them?

Whether a driver is distracted or not, if the ve-hicle in front of him slows suddenly, he will not be able to stop his vehicle in time to avoid a crash.

According to studies, the “thinking, reacting, stopping” distance of an alert driver is at least 240 feet. It takes about 3.5 seconds before you can bring your car to a stop.

I fully support a ban on texting while driving but I wonder if the law will actually keep a teen from overcoming the urge to look at his phone when it buzzes.

Adults in Washington aren’t setting a good example by ignoring the “hands free only” law now in eff ect. I am one of the few people I know who doesn’t own a cell phone and I know I am a better driver because of it.

Common sense should be a greater motivator than the fear of a penalty.

If you can’t ignore the ringing or buzzing of your phone while driving, then turn it off or leave it at home!Margarette Bull, Kirkland

MAIDA SUL JEVIC AND SCOTT PANITZ

WNPA Olympia News Bureau

As Senate President Brad Owens announced that the same-sex marriage bill, ESSB 6239, had passed, an anxious audience of hun-dreds watching attentively during tense floor debate erupted with applause.

The bill, which had bipartisan support, passed in the Senate 28 to 21 late Wednesday. The bill has already garnered enough support in the House after it moves through commit-tees to pass and is expected to be on the governor’s desk early next week.

“I think it’s one of the more powerful experiences of my life,” said Sen. Kevin Ranker (D – 40th District, Orcas Island). “This, getting married, and having my little girl. This is amazing. It’s an incredibly powerful experience.”

Sen. Ed Murray (D – 43rd District, Seattle) the main sponsor of the bill was pleased with the outcome of the debate. “It was one of the best debates I’ve ever seen in my time in the legislature,” he said. “And when we finally won, it was incredibly moving.”

Opponents to the bill, including Redmond pastor Ken Hutherson, are ex-pected to file a referendum if the governor signs the bill into law. A referendum would allow Washington’s voters to decide whether to adopt, ratify or reject the legislation. A minimum of 120,577 signatures of regis-tered voters are required to qualify a referendum for the fall ballot, which must be submitted by June 6.

Voters in 2009 easily rati-fied the state's "Everything but Marriage" domestic partnership law, a precursor to the marriage equality bill approved by the Senate.

During the debate, Sen. Brian Hatfield (D – 19th District, Raymond) pro-posed an amendment to place the measure before Washington voters with-out requiring signatures. Hatfield believes that the legislation would create a significant enough change that the Legislature should give citizens “the right to have their voice(s) heard,” he said.

The amendment was rejected 26 to 23.

All told, seven floor amendments were passed,

most of which provided pro-tections for religious organi-zations, including churches, faith-based and religious educational institutions and religious officials that could refuse services related to the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.

An amendment proposed by Sen. Mary Margaret Hau-gen (D-10th District, Ca-mano Island) to ensure that the law has no effect on the way religious or nonprofit organizations currently handle adoption, foster care, or other child-placing ser-vices was also approved.

Speaking in opposition to the legislation was Sen. Dan Swecker (R – 20th District, Rochester). He said that the legislation would silence “those who believe in the traditional definition of marriage.”

Many tears were shed as members of the Senate delivered their testimonies. Ranker spoke in support of the legislation and recol-

lected memories from his childhood and the hardships his father faced as a gay man.

Should the governor, who requested the legisla-

tion, sign the bill into law next week, Washington becomes the seventh state in the nation to legalize gay marriage.

A TRIP THROUGH THE CANALWhen a tooth becomes badly infected, it can only be saved by a root canal procedure that involves removal of the nerve and pulp inside the tooth. This “endodontic treatment” is preceded by injections of local anesthetic, after which an opening is created in the tooth’s crown and into the pulp chamber. After the pulp is removed, the chamber is cleansed and enlarged. Then, a temporary filling is set into the tooth’s crown. On the next visit, the temporary filling is removed and the root canals are filled with special rubber-like material and permanently sealed. Again, a temporary filling is set in place, which is subsequently removed when a crown is placed on the restored tooth.At CHRIS CLAVE DMD, FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we perform a variety of procedures including root canal therapy. We recommend regular checkups, periodic cleanings, and x-rays when needed. We provide preventive, cosmetic and sports dentistry for all members of the family. We are located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, where we strive toward sharing with each patient our exceptional oral hygiene best practices.

Redmond resident Sarah Smale was introduced to the literary world at a very young age when her father would tell her bedtime sto-ries about a group of bunnies and their many adventures.

Eventually she began tell-ing the bunny tales and now at age 9, her stories have evolved to feature a young girl named Rosie and have been recognized by a num-ber of writing contests. One of her latest stories, “Th e Treasure Decision,” was a grand prize winner in the third annual Mrs. P’s “Be-A-

Famous-Writer” Contest.“It felt kind of exciting and

surprising,” Smale said about her recent award. “My fi rst fi rst place!”

Th e national contest is organized by MrsP.com, a free website for kids that encourages them to read and inspires them to love books, according to creator and co-

president Dana Plautz. She said the contest was launched in November 2008 as a way to encourage kids’ creativ-ity and cultivate potential writers.

Plautz said the fi rst contest had barely 500 entrants from 23 states. Th is year, there were more than 1,000 entrants from 27 states.

Plautz said students enter as part of a class project as well as individually. Sarah entered individually with the help of her parents.

Th e panel of celebrity judges for this year’s contest were best-selling author of the “Mouse and Bear” picture books Bonny Becker, Los Angeles Times literary edi-tor David L. Ulin, “A Place Where Hurricanes Happen” author Renèe Watson and Mrs. P herself, played by actress Kathy Kinney.

Th e contestants could write about any topic, fi ction or non-fi ction, but were limited to 250 to 1,000 words. Entries were divided into two age groups: 4-8 and 9-13.

Sarah, a fourth grader at Open Window School in Bellevue, was the grand prize winner in the former as she was 8 when she wrote and submitted her story. As a winner, Sarah’s story has been made into a book with il-lustrations by award-winning illustrator Robin E. Kaplan from Portland, Ore. She has received two copies — one for herself and one for her school’s library.

Sarah said writing contests like Mrs. P’s are important because they can help inspire kids to read and write. She said she hopes having her book in her school library will do the same for her classmates.

Additionally, as a winning story, Plautz said Sarah’s story will also be read by Mrs. P on the website.

Although this is the fi rst writing contest Sarah has won, “Be-A-Famous-Writer” was the third contest she entered. She has previously entered the PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest, in which she received an honorable men-tion, and Th e Betty Award writing contest, for which she received second place.

Each of the three stories she entered feature Rosie and they follow her on dif-ferent adventures she has with her friends. In “Th e Treasure Decision,” Rosie and her friends Stefanie and Violet follow clues from a book to fi nd treasure on a nearby island.

Sarah said she gets her story ideas from what she thinks would be a fun and exciting life for herself. She said she will probably write a few more Rosie stories, but has other characters she wants to write about as well.

...TODAY’S PARENT

The main ingredi-ent in a recipe for emotionally healthy,

capable, and happy chil-dren: Parents giving their children undivided atten-tion at set times throughout the week. In our fast-paced society, the demands on a parent’s time are endless.

Th erefore, parents have to mindfully make the deci-sion to slow down at certain points to play with their children.

STEP ONETh e parent’s fi rst task is

to schedule “special times” for their kiddo. For some parents, this may be 30 minutes every Sunday. For others, their schedule may allow for 30 minutes a day. Th e key is a consistent weekly schedule and follow through so the child begins looking forward to their “special times.”

STEP TWOParents must remove

all distractions from the environment during “special times.” For example, my wife and I will turn off our cell phones and hide them along with our laptops, turn off our television, and then sit down beside our 2-year-old daughter. When distractions are alleviated and all eyes are on the child, the child feels important thus strengthen-ing her sense of self.

STEP THREEParents allow the child

to lead the play for the allotted time. Th is takes practice because oft en a parent’s instinct is to teach and guide, not follow their child’s creative impulses. During play, the parent can use labeled praise (“Great job stacking those blocks!”) and refl ect back the child’s moves. By giving your child a chance to lead play, you are helping them gain self-confi dence as they practice controlling their environ-ment while using the lan-guage and skills you have taught them in creative new ways. By giving your-self permission to follow your child’s lead, you can let go of the compulsion to control while reconnect-

ing to your spontaneous, creative inner child. When the “special time” ends, the parent can resume the role of teacher and guide and reset firm boundaries with

their child.At times, being a parent

can be stressful. I think you’ll find that these dis-traction free moments help to calm both you and your children.Jay Prospal is a licensed child and family therapist, and co-owns Blossom Family Wellness with his wife Christine Kaiser, a licensed acupuncturist.
