SEARCH FOR SKY METALWALA
MATT PHELPS
Reporter Newspapers
Investigators have received more than 1,100 tips in the disap-pearance of a 2-year-old Sky Met-alwala of Redmond, but remain no closer to fi nding the boy who has been missing since Nov. 6.
“None have led to high priority actionable material,” said Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson. But he re-emphasized that anyone with
any information should contact authorities.
Th e boy’s mother, Julia Biryukova, told police she left her son bundled in a blanket in her Acura Integra on
Nov. 6 in the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast of Bellevue. She told investigators that the car ran out of gas and took her 4-year-old daughter, Malie, with her to walk to a gas station. Th e boy was gone when they returned to the car about an hour later, she told police. Bellevue authorities later found there was gas in the car and could not fi nd any mechanical issues.
Despite inconsistencies in Biryukova’s story, police have not publicly named her a suspect or person of interest in the case. Investigators have said Biryukova holds the key to fi nding Sky. Po-lice still have the option of arrest-
ing Biryukova for neglecting her son and leaving him by himself in an unlocked vehicle. In that scenario, police would have her in custody and could question the mother about her missing son.
“At this point, I’m not going to say we are going to rule that
out…” Johnson said. “But as we stand here today we are not mov-ing down that road.”
Police have not ruled out the possibility that Sky may be with other family or friends of Biryu-kova, Johnson said.
Following the initial search Nov.
6, investigators have undertaken several other searches or the boy.
Johnson said that the search of the 640-acre Marymoor Park in Redmond last weekend, along with a doubling back over

Redmond man arrested in connection with homicide
BILL CHRISTIANSON
A Redmond man was ar-rested aft er investigators said he shot and killed a man, who was allegedly having an aff air with his wife, at a downtown Bellevue apartment building Tuesday morning.
Th e 43-year-old Redmond man was booked into King County Jail Tuesday and police have recommended charg-ing him with second-degree murder in connection with Tuesday’s homicide, according to the King County Prosecu-tor’s Offi ce. Bail was set at $2 million Wednesday aft ernoon and the Redmond man has not yet been formally charged. Th e deadline for a charging deci-sion is today, according to the prosecutor’s offi ce.
At 10:07 a.m. Tuesday morn-ing, Bellevue police responded to the Belle Arts apartment complex, located at 111 108th Ave. N.E., where they found Jin Kim, who was pronounced dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the head.
Kim, who works for the sus-pect’s wife, was shot aft er the Redmond suspect confronted him about having an alleged aff air with his wife.
According to court docu-ments, the suspect’s wife said her aff air with Kim was “emotional, not physical.” She told investigators that she and Kim were at the Belle Arts unit, where she runs her business, when her husband came to the apartment to talk to them. Th e suspect told Kim that his wife was going to fi re him, accord-ing to court documents. When Kim argued back, the suspect pulled a hand gun from his pocket and shot Kim in the face and then threw the gun out the window.
Th e suspect told police he

At 7 feet, 2 inches, former NBA star James Donaldson says he is known as the “big
man on small business.”He opened Th e Donaldson Physi-
cal Th erapy Clinic in Mill Creek in 1990 and since then, has expanded and downsized his business as the economic climate has changed
throughout the years.On Wednesday aft ernoon, the
former Seattle Supersonic spoke at the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce’s economic vitality luncheon, off ering advice to small businesses on how to be successful.
“It’s so diffi cult and challeng-ing to run a business,” Donaldson acknowledged.

On Wednesday,
Seattle Supersonic James Donaldson
spoke at the Greater Redmond Chamber
of Commerce’s economic vitality
luncheon. He shared advice on how to be
successful in business.

He said one of the most important things for a business owner to have is a vision. They need to see in their mind what they want and focus on that, rather than any possible negative outcomes, Donaldson said. Things may not pan out for whatever reason, but a clear
vision is one thing business owners can control.
“A lot of stuff is really outside our control,” Don-aldson said.
TEAM EFFORTHe emphasized the im-
portance of having a strong support team that will help tackle tough challenges. He also stressed that business owners and leaders need to
empower their teams to be the best they can be.
“None of us gets through this by ourselves,” the Se-attle resident said.
Donaldson drew on his experiences as a basketball player, sharing a story of when he was empowered by George Raveling, his basketball coach at Washing-ton State University. Raveling had given Donaldson a key to the school’s gym and weight room and encouraged him to practice and condition on his own to build up his skills and strength. Donaldson said he did not play basketball until his junior year in high school and therefore, had doubted his abilities. But Raveling’s encouragement and support helped build Donaldson’s confidence.
Donaldson said this was important as it helped him
believe in his talent, which is something that applies to all areas of life, from sports to school to business.
Shelley Kloba, who works as a licensed massage thera-pist at the Donaldson Clinic and attended Wednesday’s luncheon, said her boss practices what he preaches.
She has worked at the clinic since 1992 (with a leave of absence from 1997-2001) and said Donaldson gives the clinic staff members oppor-tunities to succeed and fail, the latter of which she said is extremely important.
“You learn more from your failures than from your success,” Kloba said.
ACKNOWLEDGING SUCCESSDonaldson also said it is
important to set team goals and Kloba agrees.
The Kirkland resident
and Lake Washington Schools Foundation trustee said she has seen her per-sonal productivity increase because she wants to help the clinic meet its goals.
Another important part of having a strong support team is to realizing you don’t know everything and can’t do everything, Donald-son said. He said business owners need to learn how to delegate duties as well as recognize workers who go beyond their assigned duties, which goes with empower-ing employees.
Kloba said recognizing employees is something they do regularly at staff meetings at the clinic. She said every-body shares with the group something they appreciate, which usually ends up being something a coworker has done to help them.
“It’s a very simple and powerful thing we do,” she said.
In addition to establish-ing a strong support team within a business, Don-aldson said small busi-ness owners should also network.
“It pays to network,” he said. “You’ll notice your peers are going through the same things as you.”
Donaldson said it also pays to be current with
new technology and not be afraid of change as this will enhance your knowledge and in the end your busi-ness’ bottom line.
CONSTANT MOTIVATIONDonaldson, who grew up
in Sacramento, is also an author. His book, “Standing Above the Crowd,” gives readers advice on how to succeed in sports and life.
Donaldson said his speaking engagements range from business groups such as the chamber to ath-letic teams to bookstores. He said it is important to be motivated on a regular basis because it is in human nature to become compla-cent.
Donaldson said the strat-egies he discusses don’t just apply to athletics or busi-ness. He said setting goals and working to achieve them can also apply to suc-ceeding in music, academ-ics and other areas of life.
With many references to coaches and others in his life, Donaldson said the role of a mentor is very important and does not stop after we leave school. He is a board member for Washington State Mentors and said it is a necessity to to have some-one who can motivate you throughout life.

“My research led me to the best remodeling company for my livelihood.”After 20+ years in residential remodel-ing, Wim Vanders-pek’s award-winning company suffered the fate of the 2008 recession. In Sep-
tember of 2011, he was hired on as a Project Consultant at Tenhulzen Remod-eling, Inc. For the first time in 3 years, Wim has found stability with the high standards of quality and integrity he has lived his life by.“Now I can truly convey to homeown-ers the value of this company, because I chose it myself,” says Wim, “Their entire process really does wonders for manag-ing expectations.” The Design/Build pro-cess Wim refers to begins with a detailed understanding of the short and long term goals for each project. Throughout design and construction, the customer is guided to solutions that meet their aesthetic and
functional goals while maintaining con-trol of the budget. “I’ve always advocated for the customer’s best interest,” contin-ues Wim, “Now I can truly function as their Expectations Manager.”Tenhulzen Remodeling, Inc. has been rec-ognized locally and nationally for design composition, quality craftsmanship and safety practices. The awards that adorn the office reception area exemplify the depth of good will to the community and the remodeling industry. Winning the National SAFE award in 2009 recognized the company for their policies and pro-cedures that promotes safety at all levels. Wim characterizes the honor by adding “A drug-free, non-smoking construction company that conducts regular safety meetings is a rare thing.”President Michael Tenhulzen has contin-ued to enhance the reputation his com-pany has enjoyed for over 3 decades. One of the secrets to his success is learning
from the experience of others. He pro-motes some of the oldest adages in busi-ness, which results in excellence at all lev-els in the company. “Choose your words carefully,” Michael coaches his team at staff meetings, “and allow your actions to speak louder than your words.” Sound advice that has the company morale at all time high levels. He continues, “Even though we are all experiencing the reces-sion, it’s the attitude we choose that makes our individual efforts worthwhile.”Tenhulzen Remodeling services residen-tial homes for virtually any type of proj-ect. Their “no project is too small” attitude has kept their vehicles visible in different parts of the community. “People say they see our trucks everywhere.” says Michael, “It’s one of the reasons we only service a limited geographic area.” Because they don’t typically travel to Renton, Seattle or Everett, they have maintained a list of ap-propriately qualified contractors. If there
is an improvement they feel is better suit-ed by a specialty contractor, Tenhulzen will gladly pass on the referral.For additional information about Ten-hulzen Remodeling, visit their website at www.tenhulzen.com. Beyond their port-folio of gorgeous after photos, a 10-min-ute video on the About Us page endears customers to the people who sincerely en-joy their craft. The Consumer Resources section provides countless articles about the contractor selection process, design trends and product solutions. After vis-iting their online presence and exploring the fun atmosphere of the Redmond-based office, it’s easy to see why their slo-gan is “quality improvements designed for life”.

was so upset with his wife’s affair that he could not work at his job at Microsoft, so he came to the apartment to “talk” to his wife and Kim, according to court documents. The suspect told Kim he wanted him out of his life and to leave his family alone, the court papers said. The court papers went on to to say that Kim began to argue and told the suspect that he would leave his family alone for $500,000. That’s when the suspect became so angry, he pulled out the gun and shot and killed Kim, according to court documents.
The Redmond suspect then threw the gun out the window and waited for police to arrive. The suspect told police he meant to scare Kim and “didn’t come to the apartments to kill anyone,” the court documents said.
After the suspect killed Kim, the suspect said “My life is over, and I’ll never see [my son] again,” the wife told investigators.
[ HOMICIDE from page 1] Biryukova’s Redmond condo yielded no leads in the case. Police also used a search-and-rescue dog on Biryukova’s downtown Redmond apartment that didn’t uncover any “powerful investiga-tive leads,” said Johnson.
Marymoor Park is close to the Redmond apartment, where the boy lived with his sister and Biryukova.
Johnson also confirmed that police have been talking to tran-sients in the area who may have seen something.
“Our canvassing is not lim-ited to those under a roof,” said Johnson. There were many media reports of Bellevue police being seen in Belltown in Seattle, where Biryukova’s brother lives. But Johnson said that they are untrue.
Authorities also set up a com-mand post on Sunday morning in the area where the car was abandoned, a week after the boy went missing. Along with the FBI, about 20 officers from Bel-levue, Redmond, Mercer Island
and Medina asked people if they remembered anything about the day the boy disappeared. How-ever, nothing materialized from the efforts, said Johnson.
The boy’s disappearance comes at the height of a custody battle and divorce between Biryukova and Metalwala, who have both ac-cused each other of being a threat to their children, according to court documents.
Solomon Metalwala, the boy’s father who lives in Kirkland with his younger brother, Sam, has em-barked on his own search. He and approximately 30 others gathered at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency Sat-urday to hand out fliers. He made the trek to Issaquah Wednesday, where Biryukova lived with her mother in 2010.
A handful of volunteers sat at the Costco Food Court Wednes-day in Issaquah, stuffing fliers into plastic liners.
The group planned to hit five different areas in Issaquah and Sam-mamish, posting photos and descrip-tions of the boy around town.
A CONTENTIOUS DIVORCEBoth parents accused the other
of contributing to the demise of the relationship. Biryukova, 30, stated the Solomon had severe anger management problems and was verbally abusive. She also stated in court documents that Solomon beat her on Christmas Day 2009 for letting Sky sleep later than expected and on two other occasions.
Solomon, 36, accused Biryu-kova of developing an obsessive-compulsive disorder that would lead to 10-hour cleaning binges where she would neglect their two children. He said that on occasion Biryukova would not let them in the house for fear of it getting dirty. Court documents also state that a doctor evaluated Biryukova and testified that she was still able to care for her chil-dren. Solomon also said Biryu-kova told him of a dream she had that she strangled Sky.
Two weeks before the disap-pearance of Sky, the couple had an 11-hour mediation session
for custody of the two children. During the session the two sides agreed to some visitation rights for Solomon, but Biryukova called him later in an attempt to get out of the agreement, police said.
Johnson told reporters that Biryukova acknowledged a his-tory of leaving the children alone for extended periods of time. Police say they know whether the mother left her kids alone during the mediation, but will not release that information.
Solomon also has a history of leaving the children home alone, according to court documents.
Maile is currently in foster care until a hearing on Dec. 5. During a hearing last week, Biryukova asked the court to grant custody of the child to Solomon, even after a year of attempting to gain sole custody of both children and alleging abuse by the father.
Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact police using the tip line at (425) 452-2564 or email Pdtipline@ bellevuewa.gov.

With La Niña expected to make a return trip to the
Northwest this winter, now is not the time to be
complacent.
La Niña is defi ned as cooler than normal
sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical
Pacifi c ocean that impact global weather patterns, according
to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“The Pacifi c Northwest is more likely to be wetter than
normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of
a well-established La Niña,” according to the administration’s
website.
Remember last November’s La Niña snow storm that hit
right before Thanksgiving? Or what about last December’s
record rainfall that forced the Snoqualmie River to fl ood?
It could happen again this year as forecasters are predict-
ing low temperatures and possible snow fall as early as this
weekend.
With La Niña ready to bear her ugly head again, it’s time to
“Take Winter by Storm.”
It’s more than just a catchy phrase — it’s a call to action.
“Take Winter by Storm” is a four-county eff ort, including
King County, urging families to create emergency-prepared-
ness kits in the home, workplace and vehicle — just in case
you are out driving when the worst of the weather hits.
The kits should include fl ashlights and extra batteries,
warm blankets, rain gear and copies of important documents,
among other important things.
The “Take Winter by Storm” website — www.takewinter
bystorm.org — suggests residents take these three steps to
get ready:
three-day supply of non-perishable food and water for your
home and offi ce. Kits prepared for vehicle road travel and
winter weather evacuation go-kits are also advised.
those who depend on you.
The website off ers other tools to help families get ready
for another harsh winter.
The Reporter is also providing helpful information in
the event of a winter storm that could possibly knock out
power and communication in the area. In this issue, we have
provided resources at the city and county level for storm
preparedness. In addition, we talked to city and county
offi cials about how each entity is prepared for action when
harsh weather hits.
Don’t be left out in the cold — or the dark — this winter,
make a plan and execute it when La Niña makes her expected
appearance this holiday season.
Prepare now for another La Niña winter
Everywhere you look, local, state and fed-eral governments are
turning over every rock to fi nd programs to reduce or eliminate. Taxpayers have made it repeatedly clear that non-essential pro-grams and services need to yield to those that are determined to be essential.
As a King County councilmem-ber and former federal prosecutor, I argue that our nation must not abandon its commitment to equal justice by doing what it can to pro-tect funding for the federal Legal Services Corporation.
Here in Washington and in King County we have been forced to scale back our fi scal commitments to those activities directly related to core governmental functions. Undeniably, the fair and proper administration of justice is a core function of government.
Th e federal government provides more than $400 million to the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) on an annual basis. Th is organiza-tion funds local legal aid programs designed to ensure pro bono legal services for our most vulnerable citizens – those at or below 125 per-
cent of the federal poverty threshold.
Although defendants in criminal cases are provided a lawyer, four out of fi ve low-income Washington residents are unable to get legal help for civil proceedings. Th ese
include landlord-tenant disputes, protection for survivors of domes-tic violence, and issues with child support, home foreclosures and bankruptcies.
Th e LSC helps fund Washington state’s fl agship legal program, the Northwest Justice Project, which handles approximately 18,000 cases annually benefi tting more than 40,000 people. In 2010, more than 5,000 Washington state at-torneys contributed more than 75,000 hours of pro bono assistance to low-income individuals and families.
Federal budgets are at a precipice as Congress rightfully looks to scale back the size and scope of our na-tion’s obligations. However, at a time when civil legal aid programs and volunteer attorneys are overwhelmed with cases, cutting federal funding is simply the wrong thing to do.
Access to equal justice goes be-
yond partisan politics. Legal volun-teers see the widening gap between those who can aff ord legal aid and those who cannot. Abandoning this eff ort now will send a disturbing message to those in need.
I serve on the Washington State Bar Association’s Pro Bono and Legal Aid Com-mittee, which works to expand access to justice for Washington citizens. Th e proposed federal cuts will not be made up by state or local governments and the private sector. Th e result will be less service to low-income clients and more citizens who are not served by our justice system.
Lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have many responsibilities, and they may not fully understand the work of the LSC. Th ey may not be aware that current proposals would return service to 1981 levels. Before it is too late, I implore Congress to realize that nearly one million cases are undertaken annually as a result of these funds that would not otherwise be handled.
Here in King County, we recog-nize and honor those who vol-unteer their time to provide legal services for those who otherwise could not aff ord it. Th is is a time for elected offi cials, businesses and the
community to com-mend the volunteer-ism of attorneys and the positive impact they have on people struggling to survive poverty.
Government is changing on every level. Based on cur-rent and projected revenues, we no lon-ger have the ability to support many public programs. As we enter what many are
calling the “new normal,” we need to reinforce the principal that every citizen has access to necessary legal resources.
My hope is that our elected fed-eral leaders will stand up to ensure that our justice system works for everyone.Reagan Dunn is the outgoing Chair-man of the Law, Justice, Health, and Human Services Committee in King County.

Milo Wilkes’ music career began in fifth grade at Em-ily Dickinson Elementary School in Redmond and will soon expand onto one of the grandest stages of all.
He started out playing the trumpet but switched to the tuba by the end of the school year because he was having difficulties hitting the high notes. From there, he never looked back.
Now the Redmond High School (RHS) senior is tak-ing his talent on the road as one of 225-250 high school students who will participate in the Macy’s Great American Marching Band in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade later this month in New York.
Wilkes is one of two stu-dents from Washington to be selected for the program. He is also the second stu-dent from RHS to partici-pate in the Macy’s marching band. Clarinetist and senior Sierra Allen participated in the program in the last two years as a sophomore and again as a junior.
“There’s a large sense of accomplishment to be one of the few people to be able to do this,” he said.
The second Washington
student is from Union High School near Camas.
In the upcoming parade, Wilkes will play the sou-saphone — an instrument similar in sound to the tuba but wraps around the body, making it easier to carry while marching. Because of the instrument’s size, Wilkes said a sousaphone
will be provided for him in New York.
RHS doesn’t have a marching band program, but Wilkes has participated in programs outside of school. His first experience was when he was at Ever-green Junior High School in Redmond. He said a fellow band member told him
about the Seattle All-City Marching Band (ACB), which brings together band students from the greater Seattle area to participate in up to 20 parades and com-munity events throughout the summer.
Wilkes said he joined for a number of reasons.
“The people in band are always a lot of fun,” he said. “(ACB was also) a good way to keep playing the tuba (during the summer).”
Wilkes — who would like to continue playing in college and beyond, but only as a hobby and for potential scholarship opportunities — said he is looking forward to marching again since he hasn’t done so for a few years.
APPLICATION PROCESSMacy’s Great American
Marching Band program began in 2006 as a way to commemorate the Thanksgiving parade’s 80th anniversary.
Wesley Whatley, creative director for the parade, said the band includes students in grades 9-12 from all 50 states. To participate, students must send in an application packet that includes an audition tape, resume and letter of recommendation from the
students’ band directors.Whatley said the ap-
plications are reviewed by a panel of college professors and the number of selected participants varies from year to year depending on the number of applicants per instrument — among other factors.
“We try for a balanced band,” Whatley said. “So there are certain numbers for each (instrumental) section.”
Despite the application process, Wilkes said he was automatically eligible to par-ticipate because he was part of Washington’s All-State Concert Band as a junior, which acted as his applica-tion for the Macy’s program.
“I was obviously very proud of him,” said RHS band director Andy Rob-ertson about Wilkes’ being selected. “I thought he would be great. He would have a great time.”
Although the parade is Thanksgiving morning, which is Nov. 24 this year, Whatley said the students arrive in New York about a week beforehand to get fitted for their uniforms as well as rehearse as a band.
In addition to honoring the parade’s 80th anni-versary, Whatley said the marching band program was
started as a way to give more students the opportunity to participate in the parade. He said they receive hundreds of applications from marching bands around the country, but usually only 10 to 12 bands are able to participate each year. Whatley added that this year will also feature a student composer as the band will play an original song composed by a high school student for the TV broadcast.
CELEBRATING THE ARTSWhatley said the marching
band program was also start-ed because marching bands are such a big part of parades. He said it’s also important for the band to have representa-tives from all 50 states.
“(The marching bands are) the heart and soul of our event,” Whatley said.
He added that giving young musicians a national platform is also important.
Robertson agreed.“I think it’s really great for
kids looking for additional experiences and different experiences,” he said about the Macy’s band as well as other band programs outside of the school.

For the second straight winter, La Niña is expected to bring inclement weather to the region, including Redmond.
Weather forecasters warn of another colder and wetter winter than usual, with the possibility of snow and ice as early as this weekend.
Now is the time to stock up on supplies and generate a game plan if severe weather strikes, accord-ing to city and county offi cials.
“Don’t wait until you have to step out into that foot of snow with your high heels on,” said Janeen Olson, an Offi ce of Emer-gency Management specialist for the City of Redmond. “Now is the time to prepare.”
Both the City of Redmond and King County are preparing to respond when roads get icy and the fi rst fl akes fall.
Th e common message to residents concerning disaster and
storm preparedness is “Th ree Days, Th ree Ways,” which means residents should have a three-day emergency kits inside three places — the home, workplace and vehicle, according to Olson. Th e staple items in these kits should include food, water, warm clothes, sturdy shoes and a fl ashlight, along with other comfort items, Olson said.
Olson also said it is important to have a communication plan in place with family members before a storm strikes that could pos-sibly knock out power and phone capabilities.
Th ree days is the recommended timeframe for stocking up on emergency supplies, but Lynn Miller, public information offi cer for the King County Offi ce of Emergency Management, suggests residents be prepared for one or two weeks.
“It’s important to get ready now before bad weather hits,” Miller said.

“Don’t wait for the snowflakes, be ready to be self-sufficient for several days.”
CITY RESPONSEIt is also important to be
aware of “who does what” and who will respond to your winter weather concerns, depending on where you live or work in the City of Redmond or unincorpo-rated King County.
In event of a huge snow storm, crews from both the city and county will be placed on 12-hour shifts to provide around-the-clock response to roads.
The City of Redmond uses four large plows, three large sanders, two de-icer applicators and a smaller plow and sander to make sure the roads are safer to navigate, according to Robin Brown, street operations super-visor for the City of Redmond.
Brown said the city uses com-binations of sand and Calcium Chloride with Boost (CCB) — a de-icing solution made of molasses, beet juice and calcium chloride — as a way to combat and prevent icy conditions. Salt is applied when unusually extreme conditions require extra treatment, Brown said.
Main arterials, such as Red-mond Way, West Lake Samam-mish Parkway and 148th Avenue Northeast, along with with hilly roads like Union Hill Road and 166th Avenue Northeast will be the first roads plowed, according to Brown. Streets near schools and hospitals will also receive top priority, Brown said. The city’s snow and ice removal routes can be found at www.redmond.gov/snowice.
When freezing conditions are expected, crews will apply CCB as a preventative measure to priority areas, including the city’s main roads, bridge decks, hills, curves and shady areas, Brown said. Depending on weather reports, the rest of the arterial plow routes will receive preventative treatment as well.
The city posts emergency updates on it website, www.red-mond.gov and its radio station 1650 AM.
New this winter, the city will be posting road condition updates via Twitter: @CityOf Redmond #redmondalert
The city has also coordinated with King County Metro on bus routes affected by weather problems, Brown said. Metro’s
snow and ice guide is available at metro.kingcounty.gov/up/rr/snow.html or residents can fol-low Metro Transit on Twitter at @kcmetrobus.
COUNTY RESPONSEThe county, which is respon-
sible for about 1,300 miles of snow routes, is also preparing for storm response with de-icing materials, snow plows and sanders. But due to budget cuts, the county’s Road Services Division will have few-er resources to clear those roads, according to Rochelle Ogershok, spokesperson for the King County Depart-ment of Transportation. These reductions mean some roads will be plowed and sanded less often depending on weather conditions, Ogershok said. Like the city, the county will make the main arterials, such as Union Hill, Novelty Hill and Avondale roads, its first priority, along with streets near schools and hospitals.
During minor snow events centralized to one area, the county road division will shift
crews from non-affected areas of the county to help keep roads clear. But during a significant regional snowstorm, the shifting of county forces may not be possible.
That’s why it is important for each resident to follow the forecast carefully and have an emergency plan in place, Oger-shok said.
As for bus riders, the county suggests riders do some “snow work” before the first flakes fall. Residents can call (206) 553-3000 or visit www.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot to check out all of Met-ro’s online resources.
The county advises riders to sign up for transit alerts, know the snow routing for buses they ride most often and plan for longer travel times.
“Our customers need to ex-pect and prepare for buses that are on snow routes, traveling at slower speeds and encountering traffic delays along the way,” said Metro general manager Kevin Desmond. “That is why bus rid-ers need to prepare in advance for winter travel just like we do.”

Water damage can dampen your day as 250,000 families have their homes ruined and their lives disrupted each winter by water pipes that freeze and burst. When the outside temperature drops below freezing, water pipes with little or no insulation are likely to freeze and break.
Recovering from frozen pipes is not as simple as calling a plumber. An eighth-inch (3 millimeter) crack in a pipe can discharge more than 250 gallons (946 liters) of water a day. And, the result can include damaged fl oors, furniture, appliances and treasured family heirlooms.
Th ere is an advantage to spend-ing time preventing frozen pipes when you consider the soggy

Th ey say, “You are what you eat.” With that in mind, the rush to eating organic foods in the United States has been unparalleled in re-cent times. Consider some of these fi gures:
Americans buy organic food occasionally, and nearly one quarter buy it every week.
tail sales from organic food were estimated at more
than $20 billion in 2007.
from organic food climbed from $23 billion in 2002 to $52 billion in 2008.
nation’s grocery stores now carry at least some organic food.

you’ve decided you can. You’ve concluded your family is worth it, and the organic route is the road you’ve chosen-even if you
have to live in your car. Now you need to ask anoth-er question: What makes organic food organic? Th e answers might surprise you.
Th ere are basically three organic categories certifi ed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture:

mone free,” “free range” or “all natural,” what’s in the food still isn’t organic according to the USDA. Also be aware the USDA has stated there’s no real evidence that organic food is more nutritious than the non-organic variety.
So, why do you have
organically if organic foods
organic and they’re not necessarily better for you? Well, it costs more to farm organically. Conventional farming methods include spraying chemical fertilizers
for growth, spraying insec-ticides for death (of pests and diseases) and spray-ing chemical herbicides to contain weeds. Organic farming methods use natu-ral fertilizers for growth; birds, insects and traps for death; and tilling, mulching and hand weeding to con-tain weeds. All that costs
no wonder there are fewer organic farmers than those using conventional meth-ods. Th at means there’s a lot fewer organic ears of corn, heads of lettuce, etc., and that means higher prices for the organic consumer. And, as the demand for organic increases among a more health-conscious society, the price goes up.

Everyone seems to know that brushing and fl ossing is good for the teeth, but did you know it is good for your heart? Some of our patients are surprised to hear about their gum condition and the relationship between gum
disease and their medical conditions. Research studies indicate that chronic gum disease may contribute to the development of heart disease, which is the nation’s leading cause of death in both men and women.
How does this happen? Gum disease is a bacte-rial infection that can aff ect conditions inside your body in addition to your mouth. Th e heart vessels are one area aff ected by the bacteria. Th ey attach to the fatty deposits on the inner walls of these vessels and cause the walls to thicken, which decreases blood fl ow. Th e narrow arter-ies are susceptible to blood clots that cause the heart attacks that are common with coronary artery disease. Researchers have found that people with chronic gum dis-ease are more likely to suff er from coronary artery disease than those without chronic gum disease.
Th e Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health states that good oral health is integral to general health, therefore, brush and fl oss properly and visit your dentist for regular checkups.
disease, called periodontal disease, you may need more frequent checkups and clean-ings. You may benefi t from more advanced treatments such as deep cleanings or gum surgery. Be sure to ask your dentist!

You probably are wonder-ing what connection there could possibly be between Christmas and yoga? Well, think PEACE! Everyone knows yoga helps you become peaceful. And the theme of the holidays is “peace and goodwill to all!”
But for many people, the holidays (by which term I include the various religious, social, and traditional celebra-tions that are held around the world each December), are anything but peaceful. In fact for those who celebrate Christmas in what has become the “American” way, it too often leaves us frazzled, further in debt and ready to go on a diet!
So, where does “yoga” fit in? Or, can you fit yoga into Christmas! Yes! But first a word of explanation. The term
“yoga” can include meditation as well as the physical stretches that are popular around the world today. Yoga benefits our physical health, sharpens con-centration, improves memory, calms our emotion tenden-cies, and induces a lasting state of inner peace, compassion and contentment.
For all of these benefits and reasons, “yoga” can help you bring the spirit of goodwill, joy, and heart-felt giving BACK into the holidays. This is true regardless of faith or no faith.
Here are a few ideas for a more joy and peace filled holiday: gift giving can be more genuine and heartfelt if there aren’t so many gifts. Consider giving items that are homemade, handmade or ob-tained from a locally owned, independent store where the
owner herself might assist you! (I think of the stores, for example, in Bothell’s own and unique Country Village!)
Give some of your time to helping others: a co-worker, neighbor, homeless or family member in need. Spend quiet time at home reading, listen-ing to beautiful or seasonal music. Invite friends over for dinner. Balance your social ac-tivities of the season by taking a yoga or meditation class and if you do that already, don’t let the holidays interfere with your routine. Bring a friend with you to your class or give him a yoga gift card.
May your holiday posture bring to you and yours Peace and Goodwill!

RHS senior signs with Texas ChristianTIM WATANABE
To say it was an event-ful weekend for Redmond High School (RHS) senior Aly Davis would be quite an understatement.
Last Th ursday, she signed her national letter of intent to swim for Texas Christian University, a NCAA Divi-sion I school in the Moun-tain West Conference.
Th e very next day, she was on her way to Federal Way and the King County Aquatics Center with her Mustang teammates, to compete in her fi rst – and last – 4A state swim meet.
While the RHS team was able to sneak two relays into state via the wild card, nei-ther the 200 medley relay or 400 free relay squads swam fast enough to earn a spot in the consolation fi nals on Saturday.
To head coach Julie Ba-rashkoff ’s delight, however, that didn’t stop the girls from cheering on Davis,
who was gunning for a pair of individual titles in the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfl y.
“Th at’s exactly what I strive to bring to my team, the support,” Barashkoff said. “Th ey wanted a bus, they willingly wanted to come all down together as a group, and they’ve been fantastic support for Aly.”
GOING FOR GOLDDavis’ fi rst fi nals swim
was in the 200 individual medley, a race she placed third in during the pre-liminaries with a time of 2 minutes, 7.33 seconds.
In the fi nals, she re-mained in third place up until the fi nal freestyle leg of the race, when Sta-dium senior Casey Penrose overtook her, forcing Davis to settle for a fourth-place medal.
In her other event, the 100 fl y, heavy favorite and three-time defending champion Katie Kinnear of Skyline crushed the compe-tition, racing an All-Ameri-can automatic time of 53.46, and Davis ended up getting out-touched by a pack of swimmers at the wall, plac-ing seventh in 57.96.
Although the diff erence between third place and seventh in the 100 fl y fi nals was only .69 of a second, Davis was understandably disheartened at the fi nal results.
“I would have liked to do a little better, I’m a little dis-
appointed,” she said. “But it was my fi rst and last time at state … and coming in with basically zero experi-ence, I can’t be disappointed in what I did. I have great coaches, great teammates, and I had a lot of fun.”
Barashkoff added that the experience that Davis got from simply being at the state meet and swimming in a team atmosphere under intense pressure will help her as she goes on to the next level.
“I think she’ll go into college and understand what it’s like to be part of a group, part of a team,” she noted. “Swimming as a whole instead of as an individual.”
SUPER SENIORSTh e state meet is oft en an
emotional moment for girls on a swim team, knowing that that year’s departing swimmers have ended their legacies, oft en for four years, with the program.
Although Davis is a fi rst-year swimmer for RHS, Ba-rashkoff had a strong core group of upperclassmen
this year that she said was one of her best ever, includ-ing four-year varsity athlete and state relay participant Allison Binkerd.
“Th is one is extremely special,” Barashkoff said of this year’s senior class, add-ing that leadership was what made them so memorable. “I could keep going for more weeks with this group of girls. Th ey didn’t wear me out, get on my nerves at the end of the season, it’s just a really good group, and I will miss them terribly.”
It was no doubt that group benefi ted from hav-ing a swimmer of Davis’ caliber on the team, and the soon-to-be Horned Frog made sure to credit her teammates for their support during a fantastic swim season.
“I loved having these girls here and I’m so glad that they came (to the state meet), even though they weren’t swimming, to sup-port me,” Davis beamed. “Th ey’ve always been my rock this whole season … they have so much fun and they make me happy.”
Redmond’s Davis medals twice at state swim meet
DAVIS ON HER DECISION TO ATTEND TCU NEXT YEAR:”I went to Texas Christian the
fi rst week of September, and fell in love the second I got there. People said you get a ‘feeling’
when you fi nd your school, and I thought they were exaggerating, but they were 100 percent right. I’m so happy to be a ‘Frog,’ and I
can’t wait until next year.”
Redmond High senior Aly Davis placed fourth in the 200 IM and seventh in the 100 butterfl y last Saturday at the 4A state swim and dive championships in Federal Way. On Nov. 10, Davis signed to swim for Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. CHARLES CORTES, Reporter Newspapers

Bear Creek rebounds after loss to Reardan, takes fifthGrizzlies earn third consecutive state trophy
TIM WATANABE
Sometimes, in the brack-et-happy world of high school state tournaments, it comes down to the luck of the draw.
The Bear Creek School volleyball team swept Kit-titas in its opening round match last Friday at the Yakima SunDome, and were only two matches away from playing for the championship for the first time in school history.
Then Reardan stepped in.The No. 1-ranked Indians
ended up dashing second-ranked Bear Creek’s state championship hopes, sweeping them 25-22, 25-11, 25-22 en route to win-ning the 2B state title.
“Reardan is big and fast,” said head coach Sherrie Brown. “It’s tough to take out the defending champi-ons, but we played well.”
With that match finish-ing up around 11 p.m. on Friday evening, the girls were distraught, but a pep talk from Brown and a good night’s rest got the girls ready to rebound on Saturday.
“It was really disappoint-ing (because) they have im-proved so much this year,” Brown admitted. “We just talked about it, at the end of Friday, that it’s a game, that they’ve worked hard, and sometimes you don’t always get what you want, but you’ve got to go ahead and play the next day.”
In their Saturday morn-ing match against Pateros, the match that would guarantee them a trophy, the Grizzlies jumped out to an early lead in the first two sets, winning 25-14 in both, before losing momentum and the third set, 22-25.
Instead of allowing the tide to turn, Bear Creek dug deep, with the seniors leading the way, and took the fourth and deciding set, 25-21.
“They went to bed bummed, but got up in the morning with a desire to compete,” said Brown, whose team eventually took home their third-con-secutive state trophy after sweeping Brewster with ease, 25-17, 25-18, 25-16, in the 5th/6th place finals.
A number of Grizzlies
had impressive individual performances, includ-ing setter and Sea-Tac 2B League MVP Michele Brown who recorded 114 assists for the tournament, junior Makena Schoene (33 kills), and libero Morgan Cadigan (67 digs).
But it was the team’s seniors, playing for a final time in a Grizzlies’ uniform, that set the tone. Bethan Meyer ended up leading the team with 44 kills and 11 aces for the weekend.
“Bethan stepped up, and just kept swinging,” Sherrie said. “She’s been really sore, her knee’s been hurting, but she gave everything she had for the state tournament – as did all of them.”
In addition to Michele, four other players were named to the all-league first team: Schoene, Meyer, and seniors Elizabeth Fernandez and Nikki Peterson, who Brown says is the most ver-satile player she has ever had.
“Michele got hurt at the end of the year, she had to step in and set for a couple matches,” recalled Sherrie, adding that Peterson, in her four years, has played libero, middle, outside and setter. “I tease her that I have a highlight reel of her playing every position.”
Even though the Griz-zlies fell short of their ultimate goal, Sherrie was proud of her squad for their accomplishments, and her seniors in particular for their role in adding a fifth-place trophy to the case at Bear Creek to sit alongside hardware from 2009 and 2010 that they also helped earn.
“All of my seniors, they have poured their heart and soul into Bear Creek vol-leyball,” Sherrie said.
OVERLAKE GOES TWO-AND-OUT AT 1A STATE TOURNEY
Making its first state tournament appearance in school history, the Over-lake Owls volleyball team lost both of its matches at the Yakima SunDome last weekend.
In their opening round, the Owls won their first set against Zillah, 25-14, only to drop the next three 25-10, 25-15, 25-17, and were swept by eventual eighth-place finishers Ridgefield 3-0.

Th e Bear Creek School Grizzly soccer squads kept their magical seasons alive in their state tournament openers last Saturday at Sammamish High in Bel-levue.
Th e boys defeated Taco-ma Baptist for the fi rst time in three tries this season, 3-2, to advance to the state semifi nals at Sunset Chev-rolet Stadium in Sumner.
In that game, Mark Phillips put the Grizzlies up 2-0 with goals in the seventh and 31st minutes, with Gabe Rongve and Stan Leszynski providing assists.
Th e Crusaders struck back quickly, with two unassisted goals in the 33rd and 36th minutes to tie the score.
Midway through the second half, Luke Blan-kenbeckler, who missed an open-net goal early in the second half, came back with a clutch header goal off Nima Abtahi to put the team up for good and send Bear Creek back to Sumner.
“When you miss an easy
one, there are really only two ways to respond – you can feel sorry for yourself, or you can move on and work even harder,” head coach Chad Pohlman explained. “Nima played a beautiful cross into the box from the wing, and Luke elevated about 12 inches higher than I thought was possible over a defender to put a header in the far post. It was really an unbeliev-able goal in a pressure-fi lled moment.”
In two previous matches, the Grizzlies had only tied and lost to the Crusaders, but Bear Creek came up big when they needed it most. With the win, the Grizzlies improved to 15-1-1 and also ended the Crusaders’ season, who they lost to in the state championship match back in 2009.
“I am just so proud of my team because we knew this was going to be a battle, and we came out ready to give our best eff ort,” Pohlman said. “Th at’s all we want at this point is to play to our potential, and that is high ... for whatever reason, we
couldn’t get over the hump with Tacoma Baptist during the regular season, but we never believed for a minute that we were inferior.”
Th e boys will face off against Providence Classical Christian at 8 p.m. on Fri-day night, with the winner advancing to the champion-ship match.
Just aft er the boys’ team punched their ticket to the semis, the Bear Creek girls’ team defeated Seattle Lutheran 6-2 to make their fi rst trip to the state semifi -nals in school history.
In the game, youth was
served as sophomore Olivia Tillinghast and freshman Whitney Isbell each scored twice, with junior Elisa-betta Udeschini and senior Morgan Rial adding goals for the Grizzlies.
Th e Lady Grizzlies will play Crosspoint Academy at 4 p.m. on Friday night in Sumner in the 1B/2B semifi nals. In four previous meetings earlier this season, the Grizzlies have won three of them against the Warriors by a single goal, 3-2 (Sept. 22), 2-1 (Oct. 6), and 2-1 (Nov. 5), with a 3-2 loss coming on Oct. 24.
Redmond resident Jordan Linstedt recently qualifi ed for one of the most prestigious equestrian “eventing” compe-titions in the world, the 2012 Rolex Kentucky Th ree Day, which will be held from April 26-29 next year.
Eventing is essentially an “equestrian triathlon,” involv-ing working with a horse in three phases: dressage, endurance (cross country) and show jumping.
Aft er Linstedt’s horse, Tullibards Hawkwind, was injured at last year’s Concours Complet International (CCI) event at Galway Downs in Temecula, Calif., the pair made a comeback in 2011 and earned enough points to qualify for the Rolex event next year.
She fi nished with a score
of 112, fi nishing in 21st place out of 36 riders.
Tullibards Hawkwind is a 12-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding.
“It was great to be back in Temecula, he always runs strong at Galway,” said Lin-stedt aft er she completed the cross country course. “Th is was the toughest cross coun-try course I have ridden. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to ride with the world’s best riders at Rolex in April.”
Linstedt will be training over the winter to prepare for the Rolex and grow her own training and eventing busi-ness, Saddle Rock Stables, in Redmond.

Naomi Bashkansky began playing chess when she was 5 and has worked her way up to the top of the game.
Now 8, the Redmond resident and John James Audubon Elementary School third grader is com-peting in this year's World Youth Chess Champion-ship, which began this week in Caldas Novas, Brazil and runs through Nov. 27.
To qualify for the com-petition, Naomi had to be among the top three girls in her age group, as rated by the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF).
"You have to qualify at a certain level," said father Guy Bashkansky. "Th en you have to be at the top."
Naomi and her family learned she had qualifi ed last spring. Before leav-ing for Brazil this week, Naomi said she was excited "because it's the world chess championship."
She said the thing she is looking forward to most is just playing chess.
Naomi's love for the game came from her brother, who is fi ve years older.
"I thought it would be in-teresting to also play chess," she said.
Although both Naomi and her brother play chess competitively, chess is not something that runs in the family. Guy and wife Ludmila Bashkansky said they both know how to
play, but never pushed the game on their children. Th ey said their son initially became interested by ac-cident. Naomi's brother had seen people playing the game and wanted to join in, thinking it was checkers. When he discovered they were playing a diff erent game, he immediately wanted to learn.
Naomi's mother, Lud-mila said she initially tried teaching her daughter chess when she was 4, but Naomi had trouble grasping things. When Naomi turned 5, she got the game immedi-ately. Ludmila said waiting for the right time and not pushing was key.
"It's important to see when the kids are ready," she said.
While learning to play, Naomi said her brother would take it easy on her and occasionally let her win. Now however, the two siblings both play to win. Ludmila added that by the time they were 6, both of her children could beat her and her husband at chess.
Once Naomi got to school, she joined Audu-bon's chess club, which gave her the opportunity to face other opponents besides her brother. Naomi also worked with an instructor who also worked with her outside of school.
Naomi began compet-ing in chess tournaments immediately, participating in competitions in New York, Atlanta, Florida and Dallas in addition to local tournaments in the Pacifi c
Northwest. She has com-peted in Vancouver, British Columbia as well, but all of her tournaments have mostly been against her peers in North America.
Th is month's competition will be her fi rst major inter-national competition.

Residents and workers in Redmond can get a taste of the Caribbean without leaving city limits.
Th e Jerk Station, a mobile food truck serving up Caribbean cuisine, made its de-but in Redmond on Monday and is helping owner and chef Michael Cunningham get his food out to hungry people.
Th e Renton resident and former Boeing employee opened for business about two weeks ago in Woodinville, where he is stationed in the parking lot of the Woodin Professional Building at 13901 NE 175th St. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Right now, Cun-ningham is in Redmond on Mondays and his truck is parked at 6855 176th Ave. N.E.
Th e Jerk Station also parks in Renton on Wednesdays and Th ursdays in the Center Cycle parking lot at 3950 Lind Ave. S.W.
“My preference is to stay on the Eastside,” Cunningham said.
Th e Jerk Station off ers food in two categories: Caribbean classics and Carib-bean creations. Th e former features classic Caribbean dishes such as Jamaican patties, jerk meats, rice and peas and mofongo. With his creations, Cunningham said he has created original dishes that use Carib-bean preparation techniques. Some of Cun-ningham’s dishes include a Haitian lobster roll, Puerto Rican crab cake and Cubano cheesesteak.Michael Cunningham, owner and chef of the Jerk Station, opened his mobile food truck about two weeks
ago and made his Redmond debut on Monday. He off ers classic Caribbean dishes as well as original dishes prepared using Caribbean techniques. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter
Jerk Station brings tastes of Caribbean to Redmond
[ more JERK STATION page 19 ]
www.redmond-reporter.com [19]November 18, 2011
Cunningham received his culinary training at the Kitchen Academy (now called Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts) in Tukwila and graduated in 2008. Although he grew up in the South, Cun-ningham went to school in south Florida, which introduced him to Carib-bean food. This was one of the reasons he chose to focus on Caribbean cuisine.
“I always enjoyed the food,” he said.
To promote his new business, Cunningham, who has a masters of business administration in marketing, said he did a lot of footwork by passing out flyers before he opened, but he has also utilized social media, promoting the Jerk Station on Twitter (his handle is @CaribreosoCater) and Facebook. Through Twit-ter, Cunningham said he is able to communicate directly with customers, giving them real-time information about what he’s selling and even tak-ing suggestions on what people want.
Cunningham added that since he began Jerk Station, his Twit-ter account — which he also uses to promote Caribreoso, his catering company — has tripled in the number of followers.
“It’s been growing pretty quickly,” he said, add-ing that posting pictures brings in more followers as well.
The idea to start a food truck came to Cunning-ham when he was laid off from Boeing in 2010. At that point, he had already put the wheels in motion to start a cater-ing company, but he also wanted to offer a lunch service. Cunningham said he initially started with a delivery service, but that didn’t work because orders weren’t coming in with enough time for him to cook the food and get it to his customers.
Right around this time documentaries and shows about food trucks were airing and Cunningham saw that they were run by experienced, professional chefs.
“These are people who have extensive, well-estab-lished food backgrounds,” he said.
A food truck seemed like the perfect idea for Cunningham. He said
he didn’t want to open a brick-and-mortar restau-rant because the hours were too long and gruel-ing. He said he wants to be able to spend time with his wife and a restaurant would have him working opposite hours as her.
Eventually, way down the line, Cunningham can see himself opening a bed and breakfast with a full-service restaurant, somewhere on the beach. But that’s far into the future.
For now, Cunningham said he enjoys seeing people eat his food and interacting with his cus-tomers.
New food truck arrives in Redmond[ JERK STATION from page 18] The Overlake School in
Redmond has selected Mat-thew P. Horvat as its new head of school effective July 1, 2012.
His acceptance caps a yearlong, nationwide search for a new leader for the 44-year-old, independent college prep school.
Horvat, now principal of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools (UCLS) high school, succeeds current head of school Francisco J. Grijalva, who announced last year that he planned to step down on June 30, 2012, after 17 years as Overlake’s head.
President of The Over-
lake School Board of Trust-ees Deborah Black called Horvat a “gifted leader and educator” with a passion for academic excellence that will further enhance an already outstanding school.
“Matt has an impressive record at UCLS of academic advancement, progress on major initiatives and effective leadership, all while teaching a section of algebra,” Black said.
In announcing his succes-sor, Black praised Gri-jalva’s “outstanding years at Overlake.” Under Grijalva, Overlake has grown to serve 533 boys and girls in fifth through 12th grades, has added a global service pro-gram with partner schools and built and upgraded fa-cilities, including three new, state-of-the art classroom buildings during 2008-11.
Horvat has previously been
head of the Upper School at the Browning School, dean of students at the Collegiate School and a math and computer science teacher at The Chapin School — all of which are in New York.
For more information about Horvat, visit http://overlake.org/headsearch. For more information about Overlake, visit www.overlake.org or call (425) 868-1000.

Pushing Boundaries, a local nonprofit organization providing intensive exercise therapy to people with paralysis, announced the
passing of their co-founder, Allan Northrup on Nov. 11.
He was 70.“The staff, friends and
clients of Pushing Boundar-
ies have lost a tremendous advocate for the improve-ment of life with paralysis through exercise therapy. We are all greatly saddened by the loss of our friend and visionary, Allan Northrup,” said Executive Director Tri-cia Lazzar in a press release. “We will always remember Allan as a lighthearted, car-
ing, funny and devoted per-son. He always had a smile on his face that brought joy to all who knew him. The community has lost a true friend and wonderful person.”
After sustaining a spinal cord injury in an auto-mobile accident in 2001, Northrup and wife Sharon
founded Pushing Boundar-ies as a way to help others who were living with pa-ralysis. Pushing Boundaries started in 2005.
According to the press release, Allan’s vision for helping others in the com-munity, hundreds of people have seen their lives change for the better through their
relationship with him and Pushing Boundaries.
A celebration of life will be held Jan. 7, 2012. For more information visit www.flintofts.com, who will be arranging the event. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Pushing Boundar-ies, in honor of Allan.
The Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) at 16510 N.E. 79th St. in Redmond will host Island-Style Slam and Open Mic Night with emcee Chris Cashman this Saturday.
Host Cashman is the son
of Pat Cashman and an alumnus of Eastlake High School in Sammamish. Chris has made a name for himself as a local actor, radio personality and host.
The event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. and is the culmina-tion of a five-week creative writing class series during which students from the Lake Washington and Bellevue school districts learned about flash fiction, sketch comedy, poetry and songwriting from local artists and writers.
The island-style poetry slam and open mic night is for all teens. An island-style slam presents three words to everyone signed up, who must write a poem that
contains all three words and conforms to any po-etic form, as fast they can. Participants can also join together in teams to share in creation of the poem.
Cash prizes will go to the winners: $30 for first place, $20 for second place and $10 for third place.
The slam will be followed by a folklife open mic from 8 to 10 p.m. The events are free and refreshments will be provided.
For more information about the event, visit http://www.ci.redmond.wa.us/ParksRecreation/Teens. For more information about Chris, visit http://www.chriscashmanonline.com.
