Expect some organizational changes to the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) as it plans to take part in the creation

of One Redmond, a new developing public-private initiative that focuses on economic vitality and commu-nity building.

Members of the GRCC’s board of trustees voted unanimously to move forward with the partnership

at its annual retreat, according to a Monday press release from the chamber.

Andrea Lachmann, a board member and the incoming 2012 board chair, said the partnership will allow the chamber, along with

the city’s two other economic, community-focused entities — not-for-profi ts Redmond Economic Development Alliance (REDA) and Realize Redmond — to strengthen

HIGH-TECH TEACHINGMicrosoft program offers computer skills to high schoolers

Emily Wilson entered Lake Washington High School (LWHS) in September expecting to pick up a paintbrush and

express herself through art. But a scheduling confl ict in the system now has her inputing data, creating programs and learning about today’s growing high-tech world.

Th e 15-year-old sophomore is one of about

30 students enrolled in a computer science class at LWHS that is part of Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS), a program that has Microsoft Corp. employees teaching high schoolers how computers work.

Wilson said in today’s digital age, she sees the value in having such a class at the high school level.

“We’re all on computers or cell phones,” she said.

TEALS founder and ringleader Kevin Wang agreed, saying young people these days are digital natives, familiar with technology. How-ever, while they may be sending e-mails at all hours of the day, they don’t know how the messages get from point A to point B. TEALS teaches students this — among other things.

Wang said the program began when Is-saquah High School contacted him because

City Council votes 7-0 to terminate contract with camera vendorRed-light cameras on the way out; school-zone speed cameras may stay in placeBILL CHRISTIANSON

[email protected]

Starting Feb. 1 of next year, Redmond will no longer be a photo-enforcement city — at least at intersections.

Th e Redmond City Council voted unanimously at Tuesday’s meeting to terminate the city’s traffi c-en-forcement camera contract with the vendor, American Traffi c Solutions (ATS), eff ective Jan. 31, 2012.

Th e Council’s all-aye vote, which sparked applause from a handful of crowd members, came two weeks aft er an Oct. 11 study session, where all seven council members agreed that the citation and collision data, compiled by the Redmond Police Department, was too inconclusive to justify extending the contract with ATS for another four years.

“Th e fact is this program did not make any diff erence in the number of people who go through the lights and make right hand turns,” said council member Hank Myers, who is the chair of the public safety committee. “I’m looking forward to fi nding better solu-tions to traffi c safety. … I think simply this was an ineff ective program.”

While the fi ve red-light cameras at three busy city intersections will be turned off at the end of January, there

is a possibility that the two speed cameras in place on Northeast 116th Street near Einstein Elementary School will continue.

Tuesday’s approved proposal, drafted by Mayor John Marchione in

a Tuesday memo, directed city staff to negotiate a new contract with ATS that would keep the two speed cameras active near Einstein Elementary from Feb. 1, 2012 through the end of the school year in June.

The city has yet to begin negotiations with ATS, but

it plans to have a possible contract proposal in place for Council action some-time in January, according to Mayor John Marchione.

Council member Kim Allen suggested the city find a new vendor for its traffic cameras at the study session last month,

but agreed Tuesday that continuing with ATS would work for now since the new agreement would only last four months.

Marchione’s recommen-dation also calls for the council to consider expand-ing the use of traffic speed cameras at other school zones, along with “research and develop intersection safety recommendations for future consideration and implementation.”

If the city does expand the speed camera program, the contract bid would be open to other camera vendors beyond ATS, Mar-chione said. He did point out that there might be other non-camera options

that would improve traffic safety in school zones such as speed-limit indicators.

All the council members agreed something must be done to make drivers more attentive and aware.

“I just wish folks would be a little bit more con-scious of what they are doing when they are driv-ing,” said council member David Carson. “I’ve almost been hit twice in the last two months by someone who was plainly not paying attention.”

Council member John Stilin pointed out that “20 percent of the tickets handed out” were to repeat offenders, showing the program did not change

driving behavior. “I hope when we come

back we have something that does a better job of getting people to just wake up and pay attention,” Stilin said. “I’m not sure it has to be a ticket. I think we need to do something at these intersections to make sure people are safe.”

Council member Hank Margeson said the mayor’s proposal gives the city more “options moving forward.”

“Anything we can do that makes us more aware as we drive our vehicles on the roadway is a good thing, because it is a privilege and not a right to operate a mo-tor vehicle,” he said.

The third annual Redmond Lights Win-ter Festival Chili Cook-Off is scheduled for Dec. 3 at Redmond Town Center — its new location.

As a new twist this year, the festival planning committee is recruiting interested restaurants and sponsors for the contest.

Entry into the competition is free with all participants providing a minimum of 2,500 free samples of chili to compete for bragging rights and their business name on the City of Redmond’s website for one week after the event.

All entries will be judged by the public

and a winner will be announced at the conclusion of Redmond Lights.

The Chili Cook-Off is part of the Red-mond Lights celebration which begins at City Hall Campus at 15670 N.E. 85th St. at 4 p.m., continues along the Sammamish River Trail and concludes at Redmond Town Center at 7525 166th Ave. N.E. with the Chili Cook-Off, music, and children’s activities from 5 to 8 p.m.

and streamline their eff orts in a more collaborative and effi cient way.

For example, fundraising will be handled by one group — One Redmond — and not three diff er-ent entities, which will eliminate “the risk of alienating our funding sources,” according Tom Martin, the GRCC board chair and a senior vice president at Evergreen Hospital Medical Center.

Martin pointed out that while the chamber’s structure and organization will more than likely change moving forward, the ser-vices provided by the chamber to its 450 members will be main-tained — and enhanced — by the new partnership.

“It’s a chance for the chamber to reinvent ourselves,” Martin said. “It’s a chance to get our missions aligned.”

Initially, there will be no chang-es to membership dues or staffi ng at the chamber, but that may change once the One Redmond structure is in place, Martin said. In addition, the chamber will hold off hiring a permanent chamber president until the structure of One Redmond is fi nalized early next year and then make a deci-sion on what it will do, Martin said. Currently, Danielle Lynch has served as the acting president since Chris Hoff mann resigned in April and moved to Florida.

Besides helping with the city’s common eco-nomic development vi-sion, the chamber chose to partner with One Redmond to expand its declining membership, which has dropped from 550 to 450 members over the last fi ve years, according to Martin.

“We needed to evaluate ourselves carefully,” Martin said. “Th ere are business leaders who don’t participate in chamber activities. Th is partnership will help attract diff erent kinds of members. We know this will make membership services even better.”

A COMMON VISIONLachmann added the partner-

ship will also improve effi ciency as all of Redmond’s economic leaders will combine forces rather than “swim upstream” with over-lapping eff orts.

“At the end of the day, we all want to have a vibrant community here in Redmond,” said Lach-mann, the leasing director of PS Business Parks in Redmond. “It’s getting that message out and get-ting everyone on the same page. Th at’s the exciting part. Now we have to fi gure out the structure of all the players.”

Th e other “players” of the One Redmond Initiative, pro-posed by Mayor John Marchione earlier this year, are the City of

Redmond, REDA and Realize Redmond, a community-building group focused on fundraising for improvement and enhancement projects in the city.

It was quickly realized aft er the formation of REDA and Realize Redmond that these two recently formed entities, along with the chamber, were “asking similar questions to similar people,” said Marchione, a board member for Realize Redmond. “We realized that we need to come together and explain to people how we have one common vision.”

Th e boards of trustees from both REDA and Realize Red-mond are expected to vote on a proposal to join the One Redmond Initiative within a month, according to REDA chair Bill Biggs, the vice president of administrative services for Group Health. Aft er that, board mem-bers from all three entities will meet. Th ey are hoping to have a structure of One Redmond in place by the end of next January, Biggs said. Once the structure is established, fundraising for One Redmond will begin.

An independent consultant was hired earlier this year to

explore the needs of the community and examine the pros and cons of a possible economic develop-ment collaboration — a recession-busting, streamlining strategy

by other municipalities across the state and nation. Earlier this year, Snohomish County executed a successful collaboration when the Everett Area Chamber of Com-merce partnered with the South Snohomish County Chamber of Commerce to form the Eco-nomic Development Council of Snohomish County. Th e alliance was formed in response to falling revenues during the recent reces-sion, and also as part of a strategy to unify and coordinate economic development eff orts in Snohom-ish County — similar reasons why Redmond is creating One Redmond.

GRCC, REDA and Realize Redmond will be the “bound-ing partners” of One Redmond, which is designed to attract both people from both the private and public sector, including City of Redmond offi cials, according to Marchione.

“We haven’t developed the structure of this yet, but our objective is to be inclusive, not exclusive,” Marchione said. “Th is is an opportunity to expand com-munity engagement to everyone.”

CHAMBER PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN COLLABORATION

Th ere have been rumors that the services the chamber provide will die under the new structure of One Redmond, but that is far from the truth, according to chamber board members.

“Th e services and benefi ts that the chamber historically provides will continue under One Red-mond,” Martin said. “In fact, they are critical to the success of One Redmond.”

Th e chamber’s name and structure may change, but its ser-vices and membership will only strengthen under the One Red-mond initiative, said Biggs, who is also a chamber board member.

“We know there are stakehold-ers in Redmond that have not been at the table,” he said. “We need to fi nd a way to attract those stakeholders and put an end to the fragmentation. If you are going to be eff ective, you have to be aligned. We have put all these pieces together so we can attract the brightest and best of this com-munity.”

Bottom line, the chamber, alongwith REDA and Realize Red-mond, want to “create a common vision for Redmond and show that Redmond is a great place to live, work and play,” Martin said.

For more information, contact GRCC at (425) 885-4014 or visit www.redmondchamber.org.

Changes coming for chamber, but services will remain


Others have cut their budgets; the state can, too.

Legislators return to Olympia for a special session

Nov. 28. For the fourth year in a row they will try to

balance the state’s budget.

It won’t be pretty.

Just months after the Legislature passed a budget that included

$4.6 billion in cuts, the state faces another $2 billion shortfall. Those

billions mean real people with real needs will be hurt.

The options to balance the budget will be many. Gov. Chris

Gregoire already has proposed $1.5 billion in cuts, including:

There’s more – painfully more. And the Legislature hasn’t

even weighed in yet.

There will be a rush by some for tax increases, but that

should be a last resort – if considered at all. Almost every

household in the state is facing its own budget shortfall. They

can’t be expected to bail the state out of its.

A better approach would be to look at tax breaks and state

services that don’t put our most vulnerable residents in the

crosshairs.

It’s true that eliminating such things also has a downside.

But the bottom line must be, which is worse: telling a poor

person with a painful dental or medical condition to just live

with it, or telling a business or industry that the rationale for

a tax break has outlived its benefi t to the state?

Likewise, while the state has eliminated a number of

boards and commissions, can anyone in the Legislature say

We doubt it.

Finally, Gregoire and the Legislature once again must try to

No one should relish what the governor and Legislature

will have to face starting Nov. 28. But that has become the

ongoing reality for individuals and other institutions in our

state. Others have adapted; the state can, too.

Stewart brings safety to our schools, city

I’m voting for Sue Stewart for Redmond City Council.

She’s able and passionate about keeping our schools and our chil-dren safe. She cares about the safety of our kids — she’s got two of them!

Do you remember the anxieties over that traffi c signal installation on Northeast 104th Street and 166th Avenue Northeast? All the meetings at Redmond High School? And, changes we had to make?

Sue rolled up her sleeves on this one. I’ll never forget watching Sue at the intersection in the rain monitoring the turning radiuses of buses. For almost 30 years Sue worked as a safety offi cer for King County Metro Transit and she wanted to make sure the long, articulated buses would safely make the turn. Sue cares.

Her family experience with Lake Washington schools is invaluable. An active PTSA member and an involved RedWest Little League parent, Sue knows our district.

She’s fully aware of the value and security a school resource offi cer (SRO) can bring to the commu-nity. In the 1998 city budget safety committee, Sue took a lead role to support SRO re-funding. As a mayor-appointed commissioner for more than 10 years Sue Stewart has

credibility with city government to get things done for our district. I’ve known Sue as a neighbor and friend for more than eight years. She will keep our schools and neighborhoods safe. Please vote for Sue Stewart, Redmond City Council, Pos. 7. Bob Yoder, Redmond

Flynn has deep concern for city

We would like to express our support for Tom Flynn for City Council.

We fi rst met Tom over a decade ago, when he coached our oldest son in Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association. In the eight years our son spent on his team, we came to know Tom as a strong leader who taught the young men life skills like sportsmanship and teamwork. He was both supportive and caring, while also showing a drive to succeed and to help the players bring out the best in the people around them.

In the years since, we have also gotten to see Tom’s deep concern for the local Redmond community. He has volunteered countless hours for the Arts Commission, the Red-mond Association of Spokenword (RASP), and most recently on the Planning Commission. His strong leadership skills ultimately led him to become the chair of the Arts

Commission.As I (Scott) am also involved in

the planning commission, I know fi rsthand that he cares about a wide variety of community issues, considers all sides when a decision is made, and listens to all opinions before drawing his own conclusions.

Tom is running for City Council for all the right reasons. He cares about our community, listens to all sides of an issue, and works hard to build consensus. He is smart, thoughtful, and a natural leader. We fully support Tom, as he will be good for the Redmond community and will bring thoughtfulness and deep commitment to our government.Scott and Laurie Biethan

Traffi c lights not timed properly

Not long ago a friend asked me what I thought of Redmond giving tickets for driving through red lights.

I said I think it’s great, because if people are breaking the law they ought to be caught.

Within weeks early one Sun-day morning I was about to cross Union Hill going north on Avon-dale, driving the speed limit. As I approached the green light it turned yellow, and within less than two seconds turned red.

No one could possibly have stopped that quickly. Since then I’ve timed other yellow lights on

the Eastside and they average 4-5 seconds.

I went home and told friends I’d just driven through a red light, fi rst time ever. Soon I got a ticket in the mail for $128, along with a website link showing my infraction in mo-tion. Th e video clearly showed the two-second yellow light. I appealed the ticket and my fi ne was reduced to $89.

Could this be a scam by Red-mond to make money, as NO DRIVER COULD POSSIBLY STOP IN TWO SECONDS.

Most interesting is that I have never before gotten a ticket.Dorothy Billington, Redmond

A plus for both liberals and conservatives

Th e congressional panel charged with producing a defi cit reduction plan should consider eliminating the deductibility of health care insurance.

Doing so would reduce the defi cit by $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion over 10 years, a number that would surely please conservatives. Th ose 47 percent who currently pay no income tax would see little or no increase, while the highest income earners would pay up to 35 percent of the insurance costs. Surely that would please the liberals.Bill Hirt, Bellevue

the school’s computer science program was in danger of disappearing. School district officials asked Wang, who taught computer science for three years at a high school in the San Francisco bay area, if he would teach for them.

The planning process for TEALS began more than two years ago and last year

was the program’s pilot year. The program was in four schools throughout the Puget Sound area. Now in its second year, TEALS has tripled in size with more than 800 students in 13 partner schools from four school districts. In the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), TEALS has also partnered with Juanita and Eastlake high schools.

TEALS offers three

classes: Introduction to Computer Science, Web Design and Advanced Placement Computer Sci-ence A. The first two classes are one term long, while the AP class is yearlong.

The classes are offered dur-ing first period because Wang said many Microsoft employ-ees don’t have a nine-to-five work schedule and have the free time at that hour.

Wang said even though

money and contracts are involved, donations and other funding has allowed schools to participate in the program at no cost to them.

LEARNING FOR ALLWilson is enrolled in

the introductory class and while she never intended to sign up for anything com-puter related, she said her experience so far has her reconsidering. She added that having the option to take a computer science class in high school would be beneficial for students interested in the field as well as those who are not.

“I think it’s definitely good for the kids that are interested in it,” she said. “(Students not interested in computer science) would find it interesting so it would open up their per-spective on things.”

Wilson said she has also enjoyed learning about what has been happening at

Microsoft.Wang — who doesn’t

teach in the classrooms, but trains the TEALS instruc-tors — said his team is made up of individuals who are at the top of their game and contacted by recruiters on a regular basis. He said with the level of expertise they offer, high schools can’t compete because not many computer and technology teachers have that kind of background.

While the TEALS in-structors have the technical background, very few have the teaching experience beyond being graduate school teaching assistants, which is why the Microsoft employees team up with a faculty member to help them with administrative duties, grades and other lo-gistics involved in running a classroom.

“You just don’t think about being a teacher,” TEALS instructor Rubai-yat Khan said about their lack of experience in this department.

Leanne Fike, the LWHS teacher who partnered with Khan and her TEALS part-ner Robert Goins, teaches

various career technology education (CTE) classes including web design and business applications at the school. She said this year was the first year the school would offer computer pro-gramming class and when TEALS came on board, she was able to go with their curriculum.

Fike, who is in her 27th year of teaching, said she does not have much of a background in computers and said most of her time is just spent trying to keep up with the industry.

“And then Kevin jumped in and it was like, ‘Wow, this is perfect timing,’” she said, referring to her preparationsfor this year’s computer programming class.

Fike said she has been learning right alongside her students and is appreciative of Khan and Goins.

“I have been so im-pressed with these two,” she said.

Wilson agreed, add-ing she has witnessed the Microsoft duo adjusting their lessons to better fit the students’ needs.

“They’ve definitely improved over this time period,” she said.

THE NEXT GENERATIONAs they spend more time in

the classroom, the TEALS in-structors have been very pleased with their experiences and thrilled to share their passion with the younger generation.

“We’re educating tomorrow’s workforce,” said Juanita TEALS instructor Corinne Pascale.

Pascale, her TEALS partner Brent Axthelm and their col-leagues said they have been very warmly welcomed into their respective schools by students

and staff alike.One thing both Pascale and

Khan have particularly en-joyed about their involvement in TEALS has been working with the female students since computer science is still a male-dominated industry.

“There weren’t many female role models,” Pascale said about her experiences in college, adding that most of her professors were male.

Wang said at the high school level, the gender gap isn’t as big, but this could be because students originally signed up for other classes before being put into the computer classes. However, he said the AP classes do tend to have a smaller number of girls.

All of the TEALS instructors said they are impressed by their students, how easily some can grasp a concept and how willing those students are to help their classmates.

Khan said this helps both stu-dents because one receives help and the other gains a more solid understanding of the concepts.

Wilson, who struggles in some areas but excels in others, admits that being able to help her class-mates is her favorite part of the class. She also said she likes that the TEALS instructors are also accessible for help.

“I’ve definitely improved (but the instructors are) always there to help,” she said.

Before the season got underway, Redmond senior Aly Davis set a loft y personal goal for herself: earn “Ironwoman” status.

She wanted to post state-qual-ifying times in each of the eight individual events off ered in high school swimming: the 50-, 100-, 200- and 500-yard freestyles, the 200 individual medley (IM), and the 100 butterfl y, breaststroke and backstroke events.

One by one, those times fell by the wayside, until fi nally, at the Kingco 4A Championships last Saturday, Davis swam a lightning-fast time of 5 minutes, 8.13 seconds in the grueling 500 free to reach her goal.

“It’s gone pretty well, I can’t complain at all,” said Davis on how her season has gone. “I’ve obviously had all of the girls supporting me, from the very beginning. Th ere was no pressure at all, but I put some pressure on myself because I wanted to do (the Ironwoman) for myself, and for the team. When I got all eight, I was pretty excited about that.”

DIFFERENT STROKESHaving qualifi ed for all eight

events, Davis and Mustang head

coach Julie Barashkoff had the daunting task of deciding which events the senior would participate in during the postseason.

While she held one of the top three times in the league in the 200 free and 100 breaststroke for much of the season, neither of those are events Davis will compete in at the district meet this Saturday at Juanita High School.

She decided to focus on the 200 IM, and the ultra-competitive 100 fl y.

“I really like IM, I get a little bored swimming one stroke, so I like to mix it up,” Davis explained. “Th e 100 fl y is one of the most competitive races, Katie Kinnear from Skyline, she’s a great girl and one of my really good friends. I think it’ll be a really exciting race.”

Davis has her sights set on beat-ing Kinnear, who won last year’s state fl y title in 53.95.

While Davis might have an easier time winning gold in the other events, she added that she wanted

to race against the best.“I’m pretty all around, which can

be good and bad ... but I wanted to pick something where it’d be a good competition, because we come here to race,” she said.

As far as coaching the young phenom for the next two weeks, Barashkoff believes that, as talented as Davis is, her success will lie primarily with what’s going on between the ears.

“Basically we just work on hav-ing her stay mentally focused,” Barashkoff said. “Its very easy to get uptight when you want to perform well and get the best time. Stay mentally focused and stay relaxed.”

RELAY FOR STATEAlthough this is Davis’ fi rst year

with the program – as she cited wanting some team experience as preparation for swimming in college – the girls on the team have embraced her, and her ability in the pool.

Davis would like nothing more to share that success and be able to swim with her teammates at the state meet come Nov. 19.

In order to do that, the Mustangs will need to shave off approximately fi ve seconds off their medley relay time and six seconds off the 400 free relay this weekend at the district meet — a tall task, but far from impossible.

Davis, fellow senior Allison Binkerd, junior Emily Smith and sophomore Catherine Love will be aiming to clock 1:44.50 in the 200

Redmond High’s pool shark seeks goldDavis earns state times in all eight events; narrows focus to 200 IM, 100 fl y

Redmond High School senior Aly Davis has achieved “Ironwoman” status, earning state-qualifying time in all eight individual events. Now she is shooting for state medals in the 200 IM and 100 butterfl y. TIM WATANABE, Redmond Reporter

medley relay or 3:26.50 in the 400 free relay to earn that state berth.

“We are so close, we are so excited,” Davis said. “I care more about this relay than any of my individual swims. We have three girls in both our relays, we’re the same four (swimmers), and I love them to death.”

Last season, the Mus-tangs were in the same situation with Heather Harper, who was going to swim alone at the state meet until the final race at the district meet, when the Mustangs qualified a medley relay by the slimmest of margins, a scenario that the team hopes to duplicate.

At the large and cavernous King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, however, all eyes will be on Davis as she hopes to make it back-to-back individual titles for the Mustangs after Harper out-touched Eisenhower senior Emilie Pleger at the wall, win-ning the breaststroke last year in 1:03.92.

“I’m hoping to go in and put up some good times, race some girls and hopefully make Red-mond proud,” Davis said on her goals for state.

Added Barashkoff, “ I tend to have a lot more confidence in Aly than she does herself, but I think (a state title) is very doable. I’m hoping Aly says ‘hey, I’m gonna go out there and show (Kinnear) that I can do it too.’”

[ DAVIS from page 11]

REPORTER STAFF

The powerhouse Red-mond High cross country program achieved its goal of sending both its boys’ and girls’ squads to the 4A state meet this Saturday at Sun Willows Golf Course

in Pasco.The girls’ squad won the

regional title, finishing with 72 team points (adding up top five finisher’s places), followed by Snohomish with 91 and Henry Jackson (Mill Creek) with 92.

Individually, Redmond

freshman Megan LeGres-ley placed second in 18 minutes, 30 seconds, with sophomore Kelsey Dunn (18:48) close behind.

Also cracking the top 25 were McKenna Mossman (19:27), Holly Young (19:28) and Allie Nichols (19:31).

On the boys’ side, junior Johnathan Stevens led the way for the Mustangs in a big pack of finishers, finish-ing ninth in 16:07, as only six seconds separated the 11 runners that placed sixth through 16th in the race.

Also running well was Max Dunn, finishing 23rd in 16:19, and Zach Kirwan taking 28th in 16:28.

As a team, the boys fin-ished in the fifth and final

spot to earn a state berth.The girls earned their

11th consecutive team trip to the state meet, and the boys their sixth.

OVERLAKE GIRLS NAIL DOWN STATE BERTH

The Overlake School girls’ soccer team secured a berth to the 1A state tournament with a 3-1 Tri-District tour-nament win over Lynden Christian Tuesday night.

In the victory, junior for-ward Adrianna Gildner got things started with a goal in the 17th minute, and in the second half junior defender Kelsey D’Ewart booted in a penalty kick to make it 2-0.

In the 66th minute, Katie Hill volleyed a corner kick by

Gildner to put the game away, with Lynden Christian scor-ing just before time expired.

The Owls benefited with some great saves by fresh-man goalkeeper Catherine Cunningham, and also shut down superstar midfielder Coryn Bajema, who had scored 32 goals on the year heading into the game.

MUSTANGS’ SOCCER SEASON ENDS IN SHOOTOUT

Playing in a loser-out game in the 4A Kingco soc-cer tournament, the Red-mond girls’ team suffered a tough shootout loss, 2-1, to rival Eastlake on Tuesday night, ending their season in the consolation finals.

After the Wolves took a 1-0 lead late in the first half on a free-kick goal, Kelsey Costello tied it back up at 1-1 in the 70th minute, scor-ing unassisted on a 12-yard shot from the right side.

In the sixth round of penalty kicks, Costello’s low, left-side shot was blocked by keeper Bryce Kennedy to seal the Wolves’ win.

The Mustangs ended the season at 8-7-3 overall.

THRILLING ZOMBIES INVADE REDMOND TOWN CENTER

Th e City of Redmond will play host to “Redmond Transporta-tion 2030,” a fi rst look at the draft list of future transportation projects and programs coming from the yearlong public process to update the city’s Transporta-tion Master Plan (TMP).
