Tuesday, there was a major break-through for 18-year-old Redmond resi-dent Chanel Cogan, who was critically injured in a hiking accident on July 31.
She said her � rst full words since the accident, telling her mom Mimi Cogan, “Goodnight,” “Love you” and “Bye.” � e night before, Chanel had uttered her � rst two audible syllables, “OK,” since the accident.
Cogan, a 2010 graduate of Red-mond High School, was camping with friends near Kachess Lake when she decided to go for a hike and fell 100 feet from a cli� . � e terrible fall re-sulted in brain trauma, a stroke, severe cuts and numerous broken bones.
Initially hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Cogan was recently moved to Bothell Health Care for rehabilitation and was still techni-cally in a coma, “but I feel she’s coming out of it,” Mimi told the Redmond Re-porter in a phone interview Sept. 14.
Chanel has been gazing at fam-ily and friends, showing signs that she recognizes them and trying to communicate through touch or facial expressions. She has also tried to mouth words but Monday was the � rst time her family and friends heard her actually speak again.
“Her boyfriend just about fell over,” said Mimi, referring to Chanel’s long-time boyfriend Charlie Culbert, who works at Redmond’s Emerald Heights retirement community, as did Chanel and many of her friends.
“He holds the key to most of Chanel’s success. When he stares at her, she smiles. ... Her mom and dad, she just tolerates having us around,” Mimi added, laughing.
“Chanel is improving every day, has her fan club coming to see her. � ey play guitar in her room, talk and laugh. We think she hears them and understands,” said Mimi.
During her recent physical therapy, Chanel is “really using her stomach muscles, back muscles, which are really strong because she was an athlete,”

Weird instruments, fun times

The club meets every Thursday evening at the teen center. There’s no fee to join and all local teens are welcome. “We have a core group of teens that attends weekly and helps organize the meetings or jams,” said Dylan Wall, the media lab coordinator at the OFH. “People have brought all kinds of small noise makers and shakers, children’s toy instruments, industrial signal generators and proper weird instruments including the bazooki, castanets, accordion, xylophone, djembe, conga drums and lots more. We’ll also allow electric guitars, as long as the sound is manipulated in a creative way.” See story, PAGE 8. CHAD COLEMAN, REDMOND REPORTER

Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in Redmond and nationwide, with the 2009 U.S. victim population esti-mated at 10.4 million, accord-ing to Lt. Doug Shepard of Redmond Police Department (RPD).
Shepard shared facts about identity the� and tips on how to prevent it at the Greater Redmond Chamber of Com-
merce’s Sept. 15 luncheon at Matt’s Rotisserie, Redmond Town Center.
WHO’S YOUR BUDDY?Half of all identity the� is
committed by someone the victim knows, said Shepard.
While the elderly are fre-quently targeted, the largest number of victims are actually in the age group between 20-29, the most likely to freely use social media.
“Facebook is a huge source of information for fraudsters,” Shepard warned. “Everybody puts everything on Facebook and it’s not as secure as they say it is.”
Stolen or lost credit cards or
driver’s licenses o� en lead to identity the� , he added. Other scams happen via telephone or the Internet.
� ese include advance fee schemes, job scams, sweep-stakes/prize scams, foreign lottery scams and so on.
Shepard showed a bogus document made to look like a sweepstakes claim noti� cation. � e scammer asks the recipient to send a tax payment of $2,995 in advance of receiving a prize of $250,000.
“If it’s too good to be true, it’s not,” Shepard stated.
SCAMS GALOREShepard outlined other com-
mon scams:
• Pharming occurs when criminal hackers redirect Inter-net tra� c from one Web site to a di� erent, identical-looking site to trick you into entering your user name and password.
• Phishing is the solicitation of personal and account informa-tion through realistic-looking account veri� cation e-mails.
• Vishing (voice phishing) is using the phone to obtain your personal information, usually in an automated recording.
• Smishing refers to social media schemes involving text messaging to your cell phone that sends you to links that ask for your personal information.

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONSScammers can easily ob-
tain your personal informa-tion by stealing your mail, prowling your car, digging through your trash or installing skimming devices at ATMs, said Shepard.
“Your cell phone nowa-days is the computer of 20 years ago,” said Shepard. “But it’s a great source of information for us to inves-tigate fraud.”
Just as text messages can try to infect your phone and gain access to personal data, police can use stored data from your phone to track down the bad guys. Of course, don’t respond
to suspicious messages, Shepard said.
And with regard to social networking, via sites like MySpace and Facebook, Shepard commented, “As a cop, it would be a bad idea to tell everyone where I live, what I like to do, what my family looks like. ... It’s a bad idea for police or anyone. ... And if employees use Facebook at work, now your company is vulnerable because they may provide access to sensitive infor-mation. Craigslist is also a huge source of scams.”
“Is there any safe way to use social media?,” a lun-cheon attendee inquired.
“No,” Shepard replied.Other tips from Shepard
include minimizing the number of credit cards you carry. He said you shouldn’t carry your Social Security Card or print the number on checks or anywhere else.
Shred � nancial state-ments and credit card o� ers and faithfully monitor your bank statements, he added.
Don’t put outgoing mail in your mailbox.
Be suspicious of aggressive customer service representa-tives and never give personal information to someone who initiated a call to you.
Never leave valuables or personal documents in your car.
Watch out for people hanging around ATMs and call 911 if you see something that makes you uneasy.
WHAT ARE REDMOND POLICE DOING?
Shepard said RPD and other law enforcement agencies are sharing infor-
mation on suspects, trends, schemes and hot spots involving identity the� .
� rough a similar ef-fort, car the� s have been drastically reduced in Redmond and our region,
he remarked.“Coordination, collabo-
ration and cooperation” are key factors, said Shepard — “and it takes help from the private sector, too. Educate yourself and others, be
alert, take preventative measures and act quickly if your information is com-promised.”
If you have questions for Lt. Doug Shepard, e-mail [email protected].

Redmond Police Department Lt. Doug Shepard said social media is a “huge source of information” for identity thieves. MARY STEVENS DECKER, Redmond Reporter
Mimi continued. “We don’t know the long-term outcome, we’re just thinking positive. With a stroke and brain injury, she’s basically still in a coma and trying to come out of it. ... It’s been a little over six weeks, but it looks promising. ... It’s such a weird situation to talk to educated doctors and hear, ‘I don’t know.’ With the brain, you never know how it will recover.”
But Mimi and the rest of Chanel’s family, including her dad Pat and older sister Ti� any, a student at Uni-versity of Arizona, have felt very blessed by the outpour-ing of love and encourage-ment from the community. People have brought them meals, taken care of their dog and made generous donations to � e Chanel Cogan Special Needs Trust at Bank of America and to upcoming fundraising endeavors to help o� set the astronomical medical bills.
Because Pat is self-em-ployed as a general contractor and Mimi recently switched jobs, they did not have medi-cal insurance when Chanel’s accident occurred. Just one of the bills from Harborview was more than $365,000.
However, Mimi remains upbeat, asking friends and neighbors to support the fundraisers for Chanel, to pray and o� er “positive thoughts for Chanel to
wake up and recover.”� e fundraisers include a
garage and bake sale this Sat-urday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at and around 16713 NE 87th St. in Redmond. For details or to o� er donations,
contact Pam Tschumi at [email protected].
Also, a family friend, Da-vid Schulman, has organized a special ra� e to take place at a University of Washing-ton vs. Washington State
University hockey game on Saturday, Oct. 2, with ra� e proceeds and most of the ticket proceeds to be donated for Chanel’s medical bills.
“We have a mixed mar-riage,” Mimi quipped. “I’m a Husky and my husband is a Coug, so we’re hoping the game will be a fun rivalry, as well as there being some great ra� e prizes. I wish Chanel could come to the game, that would be so much fun. But we’ll see. Maybe she’ll surprise us.”
For information about the hockey game and ra� e,
contact David Schulman at [email protected].

fundraisers and Chanel’s progress are also available at www.caringbridge.org/

The City of Redmond held a community visioning event to celebrate its acquisition of the Redmond section of the former Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Corridor on Sept. 15.
A downpour forced participants to grab umbrellas or scramble into tents, but music by a group called the “Toy Boats” and “park bench” interviews conducted by representa-tives of Seattle-based theater simple brought a touch of whimsy to the festivities, at the northwest corner of Leary Way and Bear Creek Parkway in downtown Redmond.
The Redmond Central Con-nector includes a 3.89-mile-long linear corridor that extends from
the east end of the Bear Creek Trail in Redmond Town Center to Northeast 124th Street.
“The railroad has been at the heart of Redmond since the city incorporated,” explained Carolyn J. Hope, senior park planner for the City of Redmond. “As the city grew into a suburb, the railroad began to divide the city — the north from the south, the new and the old and the industrial from the commercial. Over the past 10 years, the city has continued to develop further into an urban center. In 2008, the railroad abandoned the tracks in Redmond. Now the rail corridor is in the hands of the city and it is time to revitalize Redmond again as the Redmond Central Connector.”
The plan is to make the corri-dor a lively place with pedestrian
and transit connections, places for neighbors to meet and mingle and increased visibility for nearby businesses.
“Redevelopment of this corri-dor will both redefine the heart of Redmond and respect Redmond’s history,” Hope stated.
The city’s goals for this project are to create an award-winning park/trail corridor, incorporating art and entertainment as well as transit options like light rail.
Repurposing the corridor should ultimately make down-town Redmond an enticing desti-nation — not just a place to drive through, from point A to point B. That, in turn, will benefit down-town merchants and increase economic vitality.
“I think it’s fabulous,” said Rep.
Ross Hunter, a Democrat from the 48th Legislative District, who attended the event and took a walk along the corridor with Red-mond Mayor John Marchione.
“Walking along the corridor gives you a new orientation on Redmond,” Hunter commented. “It gives Redmond a center that it doesn’t have now — it makes urban centers and density be cool and fun, not ugly or industrial. The condos here are selling out. People want to be part of this.”
Downtown Redmond resident Mary Kellison confirmed that notion.
“I love it here. I moved here so I could walk to shopping and entertainment. In fact, I just walked over here for this event,” said Kellison.
Guests at the event were asked to jot down ideas about what would make the park most ap-pealing, how the corridor can express “what Redmond is all about” and how it can function as a multi-modal transportation center.
Comments from this vision-ing event and other community feedback will be used to develop alternative conceptual designs, which will be presented for review at a public meeting, tentatively scheduled for November.
If you missed the visioning event, you can still be part of the planning process. Visit http://www.redmond.gov/insidecityhall/park srec/parksplanning/BNSF/BNSF.asp or e-mail comments to Carolyn J. Hope at [email protected].
City aims to turn old rail line into downtown connector
September 17, 2010[6] www.redmond-reporter.com
A major employer in our region is making big changes in its bene� ts package. Boeing’s non-union workers are going to pay more for their health insurance. And it’s likely that union workers won’t be far
behind.The news should serve as a dose of reality to private and
public employees alike.According to Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief Jim
Albaugh, the aircraft maker pays about 89 percent of total health care costs for employees. The problem is that other major corporations pay less. For example, Lockheed Martin, General Electric and 3M pay about 70 percent of the employee health bill.
Worse, employee health care costs, which are estimated at $2.4 billion this year, are expected to rise to as much as $3.1 billion by 2015.
Taken together, Albaugh says, and it “adds about $2 mil-lion to the cost of every airplane we build.”
Ouch.The news that employees are being asked to pay a greater
share of their health care costs shouldn’t come as a surprise. That’s been the trend for some time now with private companies.
Now that change needs to be understood by union employees of private business and government workers.
At Boeing, as with many large employers, contract agree-ments govern wages and bene� ts. But make no mistake
– what worked in the past isn’t likely to � y in the future. As Albaugh noted, health care cost increases “will be discussed as those contracts are renegotiated.”
What Boeing, other large companies and even govern-ment o� cials understand is that there is a major change coming because of the recent Health Care Reform Law passed earlier this year. Those companies and governments giving Cadillac health plans to their workers could be subject to a
substantial tax.Boeing’s non-union workers will � nd out next month what
the company’s new health care plans will cost them.Boeing’s union workers should pay attention.The International Association of Machinists (IAM) and
with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) will bargain new contracts in 2010.
What they see on the non-union side is likely what they’ll get.

A new reality for health costs
In just a couple of months, voters will decide on a number of
initiatives that will shape our state.
While ostensibly the ballot measures are about the price of candy, soda, bottled water and beer, or privatizing liquor, remember each measure will carry a he� y price tag in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the midst of this recession, they will force cuts in some of our state’s key priorities. And those cuts will come on top of the $4.3 billion we’ve already cut from the state budget over the last two years.
In fact, the main response to the recession has been to cut and slash. And that’s meant that many of the things we hold dear as a state have been going up in smoke. In other words, we’ll decide in this election whether we want to take more steps backward from the things we hold dear.
Let’s look at what the recession has already forced us to cut. � e current 2009-2011 budget will spend 10 percent less than the amount necessary to maintain our previous commitments to educa-tion, communities, health care, and economic security. � ese are cuts to practical, common sense values we share as a state.
We know that education is
fundamental to our future, especially in a global economy where the states with highly trained work-ers hold an advantage in attracting businesses. Yet we have cut early-learning, the voter-approved I-728 measures to improve K-12,
and access to higher education.All together, we have cut our
investments in education and op-portunity by 11.3 percent during a time when education is critical to our future prosperity.
We know also the state plays an important role in protecting natural resources and maintain thriving communities. Yet we’ve made bud-get cuts that have hurt our ability to manage wildlife, protect habitats and enforce laws that protect re-sources and endangered species.
We’ve cut funding for juvenile re-habilitation community supervision for misdemeanants, and programs intended to assist adult o� enders’ re-enter society and turn away from a life of crime. In total, we’ve cut funding for the things that support our quality of life by 7.3 percent.
We’ve cut Basic Health, the program that provides a� ordable health insurance for lower income families, most of whom are work-ing but lack employer-provided coverage. � e 43 percent cut will eliminate coverage for over 44,000 people and increase premiums for
the remaining enrollees by 50 to 100 percent. It’s part of a 9.3 per-cent cut we’ve made in funding for the health of our neighbors and the environment.
We’ve cut child care and health care that allows parents to work, as part of a 9.7 percent cut in funding to help those struggling in this economy survive. And that doesn’t include the $51 million in cuts Gov. Gregoire recently an-nounced for Work� rst.
When we’re resorting to cutting thousands of families o� a program in which people have to have children and be working or actively trying to � nd work to qualify, we’ve hit the depths of what can be cut.
On top of all that, the governor is planning to make 4-7 percent in across-the-board cuts on Oct. 1.
It’s in this context that voters will go to the polls in November.
Initiative 1107 would cost the state $352 million by repealing taxes of candy, gum, bottled water and soda passed by the state. � ese modest and mostly temporary increases – which was in line with
what other states passed, by the way – was made to prevent even more damaging cuts.
Risky liquor deregulation Initia-tives 1100 and 1105 would force more cuts. I-1100 comes with a he� y price tag of $115-$123 mil-
lion; I-115 is an even more Cadillac plan, costing $513-$547 million.
Meanwhile, I-1053 is an irresponsible measure that would allow a minority of legislators to block the state from taking a balanced ap-

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) seniors scored higher overall on the SAT last spring than in previous years.
District students con-tinue to score well above state and national averages. District scores by subject increased in the reading and writing tests while dropping one point on mathematics. At the same time, Washington state and national scores gained one point on average in math and remained the same in reading. State scores gained an average of one point in writing while national aver-ages fell one point.
Over the last � ve years, average SAT scores in Washington and nationally have fallen or remained the same. At the same time, LWSD’s average scores have increased by 11 in math, 13 in critical reading and 14 in writing on average.
“We are seeing steady, sustained improvement in SAT scores,” LWSD super-intendent Dr. Chip Kimball said. “Hard work by our teachers and students led to the continuous improve-ment we are a� er.”
� is year, the largest increase came in writing scores. LWSD college-bound seniors averaged 555 in writing, up four points from 551 in 2009. � e mean for all college-bound seniors who took the test is
492, down one point from 2009. Washington state students scored 508 on av-erage, up one point. LWSD students have improved their mean score every year in the � ve years since the
writing test began.Mean math scores
decreased by one point for LWSD college-bound seniors, from 574 in 2009 to 573 in 2010 a� er a four-point jump from 2008 to
2009. State scores averaged 532, up from 531, and scores for all students who took the SAT averaged 516, up one point from 2009.
Scores for LWSD seniors rose one point on average
in critical reading. � ey av-eraged 560 in 2010, up from 559 in 2009. � at score compares to 524 for all students statewide and 501 for all students who took the SAT. Washington and
national scores were the same as the previous year.
� e number of district students taking the test did fall slightly this year, from 1174 in 2008 to 1123 in 2009.

Dr. Demento would be so proud.Redmond’s Old Fire House (OFH)
Teen Center, long famous for its all-ages rock concerts, now features a Weird Instrument Club, dedicated to adventurous music-making.
� e club has been meeting � ursday evenings throughout the summer at 16510 NE 79th St. and plans to continue through the fall. � ere’s no fee to join and all local teens are welcome.
“We have a core group of teens that attends weekly and helps orga-nize the meetings or jams,” said Dy-lan Wall, the media lab coordinator at the OFH. “People have brought all kinds of small noise makers and shakers, children’s toy instruments, industrial signal generators and proper weird instruments includ-ing bazooki, castanets, accordion, xylophone, djembe, conga drums and lots more. We’ll also allow electric guitars, as long as the sound is manipulated in a creative way.”
Wall noted, “Our de� nition of ‘weird instrument’ can get a bit loose, but we’re just trying to stay away from a typical rock and roll jam. � e goal is to create a unique
Award-winning recording artist and leading philanthropist John Legend will discuss his philanthropic work and inspire all with his music at Hopelink’s annual Reaching Out Bene� t Luncheon, pre-sented by Comcast, on Monday, Oct. 18 at the Meydenbauer Center in downtown Bellevue.
Legend, a winner of six Grammys with more than � ve million album sales, has been hailed as one of the most compelling and important singer/songwriters of his generation, o� en called an “elegant ambas-sador of soul.”
But it is his philanthropic e� orts that are inspiring the humanitarian community to
rally around Legend and his � ght against the causes and e� ects of poverty at home and abroad.

MUSIC-MAKING WITH A TWISTTeen center now features Weird Instrument Club
orchestration using a very assorted collection of instruments.”
At last, there’s a venue for folks who play spoons, a saw or an Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle. And there’s no need to master “Stairway to Heaven.”
Said Wall, “It’s hard to classify the songs that are played as anything other than avant-garde. Most rely heavily on a basic rhythm and treat pitch as an a� erthought. Rather than focus on composition with the club, we rotate participants from instrument to instrument and ex-plore the di� erent sounds that each can make. It would be an absolute
blast to assemble a group that could perform, but it would require a re-visioning of the program.”
Of course, there still are plenty of opportunities for serious teen musicians to play and record at the OFH. Wall studied at Shore-line Community College and has worked at recording studios and music organizations throughout the greater Seattle area.
Casey Catherwood, who also helps with the Weird Instrument Club, graduated from Redmond High School in 2006 and played many shows at the OFH while
working toward an associate’s de-gree at Seattle Central.
“I wrote a weekly music column about all-ages music for � e Strang-er, worked at a record store and now I’m proudly the event coordinator or the best teen center in the world (the OFH),” said Catherwood.
Teens with questions about the Weird Instrument Club or other performance opportunities at the OFH can e-mail Dylan Wall at [email protected] or Casey Catherwood at [email protected] or call the OFH at (425) 556-2370.

Members of the Red-mond Rotary Club, which meets � ursday a� ernoons at the Redmond Marriott Town Center, are raising funds to purchase a $40,000 bus for a girls’ orphanage in Zagazig, Egypt and collect-ing donations of toys and school supplies to brighten the girls’ holiday season.
Suzy Burke-Myers, a local � nancial advisor and director of community service for the Redmond Rotary Club, will accept donations from the general public at her Edward Jones o� ce, 8103 164th Ave. NE in Redmond, Monday-� ursday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. throughout the fall.
Burke-Myers explained that her parents came from this same part of Egypt and she discovered, during a recent trip there, that the
girls in the orphan-age “have nothing.”
“We will have a basket at the o� ce to collect things, toys, art supplies, anything people can give,” said Burke-Myers.
So far, she and her fellow Rotarians have purchased a washer and dryer, refrigerator and stove for the orphanage and she personally bought some bedding for the girls.
“Our hope is to set up a long-term relationship
between Redmond Rotary and the girls at this orphanage, to give them schol-arships, maybe send them to college, give them options instead of being forced to marry when they are 17 or
18,” Burke-Myers noted.Redmond Rotary mem-
bers will travel to Egypt in November and December to personally deliver dona-tions from the community. Burke-Myers is making
the trip in December and can answer questions from community members at (425) 867-5187 or [email protected].

Seattle optometrist helpslegally blind to see again
Paid Advertisement
By Elena LombardiFreelance Writer
Just because you have macular degen-eration or other eye diseases like diabet-ic retinopathy doesn’t mean you mustgive up driving.
Ever look through a pair of field glass-es or binoculars? Things look bigger andcloser, and much easier to see. Dr. RossCusic is using miniaturized binocularsor telescopes to help people who havelost vision from macular degeneration orother eye conditions.
“Some of my patients consider me thelast stop for people who have visionloss.” Said Dr. Cusic, a low visionOptometrist. “People don’t know thatthere are doctors who are very experi-enced in low vision care.”
Irv Matthes drove all the way fromPenticton, BC to Kirkland, “Thank youfor putting some living back into my life.I could never have done this withoutthese reading glasses. Now I can writethis letter and solve the daily cryp-togram in the newspaper.”
Macular Degeneration is the mostcommon eye disease amongst the seniorpopulation. As many as 25% of thoseover 65 have some degree of degenera-tion. The macula is one small part of theentire retina, but it is the most sensitiveand gives us sharp images. When itdegenerates macular degeneration leavesa blind spot right in the center of visionmaking it impossible to recognize faces,read a book, or pass the driver’s visiontest.
The experts do not know what causesmacular degeneration. But it is knownthat UV light from the sun is a majorcontributing factor. Other factors aresmoking, aging of course, and impropernutrition. 15 to 20% of the time is isgenetic.
There are two types, wet and dry. Thewet type involves leaky blood vesselsand can be lasered shut. Unfortunately,it’s a temporary fix since other leaks usu-ally occur.
“Our job is to figure out everythingand anything possible to keep a personfunctioning.” says Dr. Cusic.
Washington and Oregon are amongmany states that allow the use of tele-scopic glasses to help meet the visionrequirements for driving.
Donald Pauerre, 72, a former countyassessor from Anaheim, California wasseen last November. I could not read mysaxophone music anymore.”
The doctor fit him with bioptic tele-scope glasses. “Amazing!” says Donald.“I can read the street signs twice as far asI did before. I can play my sax again.Happy day!”
Dr. Cusic also provides special pris-matic reading glasses to make the news-paper a little easier to read.
Carole Buckles, 71, of Arcadia,California came on the advise of afriend. “I wanted to be able to keep driv-ing and do the fun things in life.” One ofthose fun things is baseball. “I lovegoing to baseball games and now I cansee those close plays again,” say Carol.
Bioptic Telescopic glasses were pre-scribed to read signs and see trafficlights farther away. As Carole put it,“These telescope glasses not only allowme to read signs from a farther distance,but make driving much easier. I’ve alsoused them to watch television so I don’thave to sit so close. Definitely worth the$1950 cost. I don’t know why I waitedtwo years to do this. I should have comesooner.”
Peter Rhodes traveled fromManchester, UK to be fit for specialamorphic glasses for RetinitisPigmentosa. He is one of the firstpatients in the United States or the UKto be helped with this rare eye disorder.
Ellen Imboden traveled for Swedenand was helped with two pairs of glass-es. Special $475 prismatic glasses that lether read newsprint, as well as bioptictelecopes to continue driving in Sweden.
Low vision devices are not alwaysexpensive. Some reading glasses cost aslittle as $375 and some magnifers under$100. Every case is different becausepeople have different levels of visionand different desires.
Dr. Cusic sees patients in his offices inKirkland, Bellingham and Olympia, andcan be reached at:
425-285-1230or tollfree at 1-877-823-2020.

At least one nearby busi-ness owner is concerned about a large number of mature Maple trees being removed on Northeast 90th Street near Willows Road, to install a sidewalk and bike lane, but City of Redmond o� cials say the trees must go for safety reasons.
“Even though Northeast 90th is a bit like an industrial park area, the nice thing
about Redmond is that usually they try to maintain green area anywhere they can. � ese trees were gor-geous, 40-foot tall trees that squirrels and birds lived in, and it’s a shame to see that it has to be turned into a typi-cal barren ‘warehouse row’ kind of street without much green. Replacing 50-year old trees with saplings doesn’t do much good until 25 years down the road,” commented Charles Graves, owner of the Aqua Sports Kayak Shop on Northeast 90th Street.
Phil Day, the construc-tion project manager for the City of Redmond’s
2010 Sidewalk Improve-ments Project explained, “� e project will provide a new sidewalk, curb, gutter and wheelchair ramps on the south side of North-east 90th Street between Willows Road and 154th Avenue Northeast.”
Day said, “A total of 33 trees are being removed and the reasons vary. Most are in con� ict with the new sidewalk, which is restricted by the existing road on one side and parking for businesses on the other. Several trees were in the line of sight for drivers and are being removed for safety.
Twenty-three new trees will be planted and 15 existing trees are being preserved.”
Day noted, “Tree removal decisions are part of the de-sign process, which includes participation by various de-partments, including Public Works, Planning, Parks and Transportation. Each department has input.”
Property owners on North-east 90th Street were noti� ed and given opportunities to participate in the planning process, as well, said Day.
In addition, information about the 2010 Sidewalk Improvements Project was posted on the City of Redmond’s Web site at http://www.redmond.gov/insidecityhall/publicworks/construction/downtown.asp.
Redmond City Council president Richard Cole said the project was approved by
the council and added, “We are putting in a sidewalk and a bike lane along 90th. In order to build the sidewalk, the trees had to be cut down. Had there been another alternative, such as wind-ing the sidewalk around the trees, we would have chosen it. � ere are more and more pedestrians and bikers using 90th. It has become a real
safety risk. As part of our plan, we will be installing landscaping next to the side-walk that will include trees. However, it will take several years before they mature.”
Cole continued, “� is sidewalk was part of our annual sidewalk funding which is part of our capital improvement program. We have a list of missing side-walks in the city. We build some of them each year. � is project has been on the list for several years.”
While some residents and business owners may be unhappy about the loss of trees, Cole remarked, “Safety is one of our most impor-tant concerns. � e situation along 90th was a hazard for pedestrians and bikers. While we always try to save trees, especially mature ones, it was not possible on this project.”

Hyperten-sion (HTN)
is the term used to describe high blood pressure.
Blood pressure (BP) is usually given as two num-bers, such as, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). � e upper and lower numbers are called systolic and diastolic, respectively. In general, hypertension is de� ned as the blood pres-sure higher than 140/90, in either or both numbers. In the U.S., hypertension af-fects more than 74 million people.
Most of the time, hyper-tension is insidious and asymptomatic. However, undiagnosed, uncontrolled, or chronic hypertension could cause underlying changes of vital organs, in-cluding the heart, brain and kidney. Symptoms such as chest pain, irregular heart-beat, confusion, tiredness, ear noise or buzzing, vision changes are common in patients with hypertension. Also, rapidly raising BP could create a life threaten-ing emergency.
� e exact mechanism for about 90 percent of hyper-tension cases is unknown.
However, the major risk factors are:
• Males and the elderly are prone to develop hyper-tension.
• Genetics plays an important role.
• African-Amer-icans have more chance for HTN.
• Salty food could make people more susceptible.
• Obesity and sedentary lifestyle.
• Anxiety, intense anger, and suppressed anger.
� e side e� ects of certain medication, tumors, pain, and illicit drugs are among other causes. “White coat hypertension” is used to describe the BP elevation
when seeing a doctor. Even though o� en ignoring it, people with “white coat hy-pertension” are susceptible for developing true high blood pressure.
Early diagnosis and long-term treatment for hypertension are crucial to prevent its consequences, such as stroke, cardiovas-cular disease, heart failure and kidney failure. � ere are several classes of BP medications: diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE), Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers and beta blockers among others.
All medications have a variety of side e� ects and patients should discuss them with their doctors. Oft en

blood or urine tests are test-ed to monitor side effects.
Usually, doctor will tell you to exercise, lose weight, and follow a healthier diet as part of regimen. Once
BP is controlled, the risks of stroke, heart disease, and related death decrease significantly.
Because BP fluctuates every minute of every day, any single measurement is not enough to see the whole picture. If hyperten-sion patients have a BP cuff at home, checking it and writing down on a log could be very useful. Home-BP-monitoring will provide complete BP info to help doctors on the medical decision making.
Currently, both aner-oid and digital cuffs are available in all drug stores. The aneroid monitor has a gauge that is read by looking at a pointer on a dial. The cuff is placed around your upper arm and inflated by hand, by squeez-ing a rubber bulb.
Digital monitors have automatic cuffs operated by battery. It will inflate and deflate automatically. The blood pressure reading flashes on a small screen. The finger and wrist BP cuff are not as accurate as an elbow one. The home BP monitoring is recommend-ed by American Associa-tion of Family Physicians and other medical organi-zations.Dr. Pen Hou is a family phy-sician with Redmond Family Care.

No longer a secret on the tennis court, Jeff Jou has his sights set on a state berth. And Jou’s teammate, Scott Singleton, is aiming to make plenty of racket in his final high school campaign before taking flight at aeronautical school.
Buddies since seventh grade, the two Redmond High School tennis stars have high hopes this fall.
Jou: Small, but SolidJou, a junior who played
No. 1 singles as a sopho-
more last fall, was a relative unknown last year on 4A Kingco courts, but not any-more after a district quarterfi-nal run last fall.
“He’s good, he’s known now,” Singleton said.
Redmond tennis coach Marceil Whitney said don’t be fooled by Jou’s diminutive stature.
“For his size, he really knows how to put something behind that ball,” the coach said. “People who don’t know him and see his stature, they go ‘oh this is going to be a
piece of cake.’ But when he gets on the court, it’s a differ-ent story.”
Whitney admitted that many opponents underes-timated Jou in his first year playing varsity tennis last fall, but that has changed this year.
“Don’t let the size fool you, the guy is a solid player,” she said.
Jou began playing tennis in seventh grade at Redmond Junior High, where he first met Singleton. He said he spent five hours a day playing tennis when he first started.

Entering his 20th year of coaching cross country at Redmond High, head coach Denis Villeneuve has seen his fair share of amazingly talented runners.
Many of them have gone through the program in just the past few years, with Sarah Lord and Devin McMahon on the girls’ side and runners like Aiden Irish, Mack Young and Will Young for the boys’ squad.
While the team may not have that superstar runner of years past, Villeneuve said his young team has tons of potential, starting with his No. 1 runner on the boys’ team, senior Miles Hille, who was running in the shadows of Mack and Will last year.
“Miles is looking great,” said Villeneuve, adding that he won the season-opening Kingco Preview Meet at Lincoln Park last week. “His time was eight
seconds slower than Mack Young’s tie in 2009 ... he has high goals and if he can stay healthy, he should do well.”
Hille said that he has put in a lot of work during the
offseason, running as many as 50 miles a week and 10 a day on occasion.
“I just had a fantastic Kingco meet, had a personal best in it, and that actually
felt easy,” Hille admitted, adding that he has his sights set on the top 10 at state. “I’m really excited for the year ... I’ve really tried to lengthen my endurance.”
The rest of the boys’ side is looking especially solid, as four boys who were in the top 18 in Kingco all return, and the pivotal No. 5 spot will most likely be filled by incoming fresh-man Zach Kirwan.
“We’re feeling pretty optimistic,” Villeneuve commented.
On the girls’ side, the 2010 season should allow for last year’s runners to step up and have breakout years, and they will need to after the graduation of Mc-Mahon, who finished third at the 4A state meet last fall and now runs at Cornell University.
“We graduated a bunch again ... we’ve got Kelsey Dunn, a freshman who looks real good, and Lila Rice, a

transfer from Seattle Acad-emy,” Villeneuve said. “Those two make us a lot stronger. Holly Young is our fastest
returning girl, and then Jenna Sanders and Allie Nichols.”
The acquisition of Rice may prove to be huge for the Mustangs, as she placed second at the 1A state cham-
pionships last year, and gives the Mustangs a solid top five. And Dunn finished first on the team at the Kingco Pre-view meet, running her first high school cross country meet in 20:08.
And for those kids who don’t have those real fast times yet, what is the key to seeing improvement throughout the season?
“I’ve learned how to get these kids ready,” the longtime coach said. “The veteran runners are being really good about educating the younger runners about following the coaching pro-gram. It will just take some time, you need experience and to learn some pacing, and all that. If they can stay healthy and get some
races under their belt, then they will start to see that improvement.”
If the Mustangs improve as expected throughout their 2010 campaign, don’t be surprised to see them make a threat at the state meet at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course this November.
“We want to try and get as high as we can at Kingco,
go to districts and qualify for state (as a team),” said Villeneuve on his team goals. “If you can get in the top four at state you get a trophy, and that’s always our goal. It seems like we can get to state again if we’re healthy and working well.”

He gives a lot of credit to Singleton for driving him to tennis practices and matches and of course pushing him on the tennis court in practice.
Jou is hoping all that practice will pay off this season.
“Nothing’s for sure, but I’m really hoping to get to state. To my knowledge, there are some really good players, but nothing I can’t handle.”
Singleton: A riSing StArSingleton, a senior who
has played in a ton of United States Tennis As-sociation tournaments over the summer, said he has improved his game and is just looking to do his best every time out on the court and see what happens from there.
“I have a lot to work on,” he said. “I just want to do the best I can.”
Singleton said a state berth would be the ideal finish to his high school career. As a sophomore, he advanced to the district tournament in singles and last year, he teamed up with Matt Lee, to make a run to the district tournament in doubles.
“This year, I hope to go even farther,” said Single-ton, who currently plays
No. 2 or 3 singles for the Mustangs.
After high school, Singleton is hoping to enroll in the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida and become a com-mercial pilot. He sent his application in June and is still waiting to hear back if he got in or not. He said the school does have a tennis program and it’s a possibil-ity he may play.
Singleton, 17, said he first flew a plane at age 15 and spends endless hours on his flight simulator at home.
But right now, his focus is on taking flight on the ten-nis court and soaring past the competition.
teAm poSSeSSeS tAlent, verSAtility
Jou and Singleton are not the only two with high aspirations this season for the Mustangs.
Lee, a senior, is a long, athletic consistent player who can play singles or doubles. He will be one to watch as the season progresses, Whitney said. Johnson Hsieh is another versatile senior who will
help contribute to the Mustangs’ goal of finishing in the top six in the league. Junior newcomer Dhruv Balatzrishnan will be an-other impact player for the Mustangs, Whitney said.
Singleton said many of the players on the team
are “evenly matched. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. It balances out pretty nicely. We should have a pretty good team.”

www.redmond-reporter.com Stangs thump LW for first win of seasonTim WaTanabe
The Redmond High School football team won its first game of the season last Friday night at Lake Washington High School, defeating the 3A Kangaroos 28-7.
The Mustangs were in control from the get-go, scoring on their first drive — a 2-yard touchdown run by quarterback Michael Conforto — set up by a 47-yard pass from Conforto to receiver Nikolaj LaCour.
On the very next drive, Conforto, the second-year starting quarterback, launched a touchdown
pass — that head coach Jeff Chandler called one of the best plays he’s seen in 15 years of coaching high school football. The 27-yard tight-spiral pass landed into the outstretched arms of Cody Klepinger as the Mus-tangs opened up a 14-0 lead.
“That second touchdown in the first half was just pret-ty,” Chandler recalled. “He had time, he saw his read, picked the correct read, threw it right before the break and put it right on the money.”
Chandler lauded his offensive line for giving Conforto plenty of time to read the defense, something that did not happen during the Mustangs’ 41-7 loss to
Juanita last week.The Mustangs ended up
scoring on four unanswered drives to go up 28-0, before LW got on the board when sophomore quarterback Shawn Gray hit Alex Don-nelly for a 14-yard score with 2:14 left in the third quarter.
“This win was huge for us to get the momentum going and show everybody in the Redmond community that Redmond’s back, and we’ve changed,” said Conforto.
The Mustangs kick off their league schedule against Woodinville this Friday at home, with kickoff at 7 p.m. more story onlinewww.redmond-reporter.com

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
