Owner gets his money back SAMANTHA PAK
At around 7:15 p.m. Monday evening, Emily Pearce pulled into the QFC parking lot at 15800 Red-mond Way in downtown Redmond with one goal in mind.
� is was the third gro-
cery store she had visited and she was on a mission to � nd mint chips for her daughter’s upcoming holi-day party. But as she and her 4-year-old son stepped out of the car, she found something else: a Bank of America envelope that had been ripped open.
Pearce could see there was money in it and said she was a little wary of the envelope at � rst. Initially, she toed it with her foot, before eventually picking
it up. When she looked inside, she found several $100 bills.
“I realized it was a lot of money,” she said.
Pearce, a Snohomish resident who works in Bel-levue, called the police to report what she had found and while she waited for them to arrive, she began counting how much money was in the envelope. She stopped at $1,000.
“How do you drop this amount of money?” she
asked.Once police arrived,
Pearce’s son was excited to tell them what had happened and where they found the envelope. She said the o� cers seemed happily surprised by her reporting what she had found.
“Our o� cers love to respond to these types of calls,” said Becky Range, public information o� cer for the Redmond Police Department (RPD). “She
could have easily taken this cash, but instead, did the right thing and immedi-ately turned it in.”
For Pearce, there was no question in her mind that she would turn in the envelope.
“Keeping it did not cross my mind,” she said.
A� er completing the necessary paperwork, the o� cers thanked her and Pearce continued on her way and with her shopping. � e cash was submitted
into evidence.Range said at about 7:45
p.m., a caller contacted RPD to report that he had lost some cash in the spe-ci� c area of where Pearce had found the envelope. A� er verifying the enve-lope, its exact contents and location, the man was identi� ed as the owner of the cash.
� e man was then con-tacted and the money in full — nearly $6,000 in cash

Ever since recreational marijuana became legal in Washington in 2012, city sta� has been looking into what this means and would look like for Redmond.
For about three years, most of the discussion has been focused on the pro-duction and processing side of the business. Redmond was allotted two marijuana retail businesses but as previously reported, there was nowhere they could be located per the city’s zoning for retail businesses.
� is may change as earli-er this year, state legislation was passed that gave cities the option to reduce previ-ous bu� er zones between retail businesses and certain other uses down from 1,000 to 100 feet — or anything in between.
Jason Rogers, a senior planner in long-range planning for the City of Redmond, said the types of uses the bu� er zones apply to include game arcades, libraries, recreation and community centers, daycare or childcare centers, transit centers and parks. � e two
exceptions to this are uses that are schools and play-grounds, meaning there still must be a 1,000-foot bu� er between themselves and a marijuana retail business.
In addition to this legisla-tion change, the city also received an application for a zoning code amendment regarding retail businesses.
With all of this in mind, Rogers said the city is seek-ing public input to see what the community’s thoughts are on the topic.
� is input began with a workshop at City Hall on Dec. 10. Attendees included a real estate broker, the in-dividual who submitted the zoning code amendment application, a representative from Higher Life Marijuana Boutique in Kirkland and a few residents.
� e city has also put up an online survey on its website that people can take to provide feedback. � e survey takes about two minutes to take and will be available through the end of January 2016. People can take the survey at redmond.gov/marijuana.
“We want to hear from people,” Rogers said.

On � ursday, teams of employ-ees and volunteers from Hopelink visited Microso� Corp. in Redmond to collect gi� s donated by the tech company’s employees.
� e Redmond-based human services nonpro� t has partnered with Microso� for more than 12 years to provide gi� s for children through a Giving Tree campaign and Darrell Bulmer, senior communication man-
ager at Hopelink, said this year, they have received more than 5,000 gi� s.
� e gi� s correspond with tags on giving trees that list items Microso� employees can buy and place under the trees, unwrapped until pickup day. Bulmer said the gi� s are for children ranging from newborns to 18 years old and include books, elec-tronics, games, clothes, toys, stocking stu� ers and more.
“� e cool thing about this is the partnerships that stem from this,” he
said.� ose additional partnerships
include � re� ghters and paramedics from the Redmond Fire Department and volunteers from the moving company, Two Men and a Truck, as they help with transporting the gi� s.
Bulmer said once the gi� s are col-lected from Microso� , they are then taken to � ve Hopelink food banks in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Shoreline and Sno-Valley. � e food

More “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas” signs appeared last weekend, courtesy of a mystery poster.
One resident, who asked not to be identified, said signs were placed on public property around Redmond High School on Dec. 12 and that they had been removed. The resident also noticed that on Monday more signs recently posted on public property around other local schools were gone.
Kathryn Reith, Lake Washington School Dis-trict communications di-rector, said: “I understand
that one staff member removed the signs in front of Redmond High tempo-rarily, thinking they were actually on school prop-erty, but quickly replaced them once she did some research and determined they were on public prop-erty after all.”
Reith added that she’s heard allegations that other signs were removed, and she’s only been able to verify that they have disap-peared from in front of Horace Mann Elementary. She’s confirmed with the Mann principal and office manager that they neither took down the signs nor directed that they come down.
“We have no idea what happened to those signs or any others that may have disappeared,” Reith said.
Erika Vandenbrande, City of Redmond deputy
city administrator, added: “Whoever put them up, we haven’t heard any com-plaints from them about the signs coming down.”
Vandenbrande noted as to whether anyone can be prosecuted for removing signs: The city doesn’t deal in hypotheticals, and they’d have to receive a spe-cific complaint and have specific facts to investigate, she said.
As previously reported, City of Redmond em-ployees first noticed the green signs with white lettering in late November near churches on 166th Avenue Northeast. The Reporter and one resident spotted signs near the City Hall campus and the Redmond Regional Library on Northeast 85th Street/160th Av-enue Northeast and the Redmond Fire Head-
quarters on 161st Avenue Northeast. One sign was reported to be posted near a mosque.
The signs — which have been posted for four consecutive years — fea-ture a Bible verse on the front side, and on the back there’s a nativity scene, which is new to this year’s signs. Reporter readers have strongly voiced their opinions on the signs via the paper’s Facebook page and website.
Mayor John Marchione said: “The ‘It’s OK to say Merry Christmas’ signs are a form of free speech that is permissible on public property. The city has no plans to remove the signs. Since the signs began ap-pearing three years ago, the people placing the signs have removed them by New Year’s day.”

STAFF REPORT
An elderly man who was struck by a car on Wednesday night died at the scene.
At 5:11 p.m., members of the Redmond police and fire departments responded to the report of the collision located near Northeast 80th Street and 133rd Avenue Northeast in Redmond, according to Redmond Police Department Pub-lic Information Officer Becky Range.
A preliminary inves-tigation reveals an adult male with no passengers was driving westbound on Northeast 80th and
struck the pedestrian on Northeast 80th just west of 133rd.
The driver of the Subaru wagon stayed at the scene and cooper-ated with investigators. At this early stage, inves-tigators do not believe the man’s driving was impaired. Range said it wasn’t raining at the time and there was no water on the road.
There was a witness in another vehicle behind the driver who provided information to police at the scene.
The case is under investigation by the Redmond Police Traffic Division.

A 17-year-old male driver sustained serious injuries after his car collid-ed with a power pole and split in two on Wednesday night in Redmond.
Members of the Redmond police and fire departments responded to the high-speed colli-sion at about 9:15 p.m., according to Redmond Police Department Public Information Officer Becky Range.
Range said the silver vehicle was traveling east-bound on Redmond Way and hit the pole on the southeast corner of Red-mond Way and Northeast 80th Street. The teen, who was the authorized driver of the vehicle, was ejected from the car. After he was rendered aid, he was immediately transported
to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
No one else was in the vehicle and it was a single-car accident.
Range said it was dif-ficult for responders to survey the scene because downed power lines fell on top of the car. Mem-bers of Puget Sound Energy soon arrived and de-energized the pole — so the wires were no longer live — allowing the responders to do their job.
Responders used thermal imaging equip-ment in the nearby grassy area — which contained debris from the wreck and a broken stop sign — to determine that there were no other passengers, Range said.
Range said officials have yet to determine the circumstances that caused the driver to be speeding.

— was returned to him at the police department.
Pearce said RPD contacted her just as she was leaving QFC to let her know they had found the envelope’s owner and that it had been claimed.
The owner of the cash let officers know that he wanted to contact Pearce to thank her so she gave them her contact informa-tion.
Pearce said the owner emailed her to thank her and expressed that he would like to give her a reward or gift. But Pearce said she didn’t want him to feel ob-ligated and that accepting anything from
him would feel insincere for her.Pearce added that she used the situa-
tion as a teaching moment with her son, discussing the importance of returning things to their rightful owners if you find something that doesn’t belong to you. She said she was glad she was able to show how she would want him to act if he found himself in a similar situation.
And while Pearce was able to return the money back to the person who needed it, the same could not be said about her.
She said, with a laugh, that she still hasn’t been able to find those mint chips for her daughter’s party.

Part 2| Responding to letter about ‘Merry Christmas’ signs
Editor’s note: The following letters are in response to a letter in the Reporter’s Dec. 4 issue, stating that “the cross and manger are offensive to many people of many religions” regarding their inclusion on the “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas” signs around Redmond.
• Yes the Redmond area has a growing population of Muslims, but there has always been citizens of other religions or people of NO religion.
But they have accepted that the majority of the population in Redmond and throughout the USA are Christian and they celebrate the Christmas holiday.
I must confess I have never worked with anyone of the Muslim faith, but have worked with many people that are Jewish.
They always joined in the Christmas celebrations and wished everyone “Merry Christmas” and never heard any of them complain about the celebrations.
A very recent Pew Research poll shows 70.6 percent profess some affiliation to a Christian faith.
Non-Christian faith 5.9 percentNon-affiliated 22.8 percentDon’t know/refused 0.6 percentI happen to fall into the non-affiliated
group, but have no problem sharing the Christmas celebrations and wishing people “Merry Christmas.”
Rajan Amani finds the cross and manger offensive, too bad.
You are allowed to practice your religion how you wish, please accept that the majority of people around you want to celebrate their religion. It is called freedom.Fred RedmanWoodinville/Redmond
• Rajan, tolerance is a two-way street. You cannot ask for others to be tolerant of your views or beliefs without being willing to tolerate the views and beliefs of others. It is your choice to take offense at the beliefs of others though I would recommend you just let it go. Have some fun with it and post competing signs about Hanukkah, Eid
or even your kids’ birthdays. Free speech is protected by law for better or for worse, so there’s no sense in getting upset over such a small thing.Bob BrownRedmond
• Here in the United States we welcome im-migrants of all faiths. I hope they will learn to show the same tolerance of the many religions here as we show theirs, rather than complaining about the symbols of one religion or another.Robert O’HaraRedmond
* I’m responding to Rajan Amani and their complaint about the presence of crosses and managers during the Christmas season.
Welcome to the United States and the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably to assemble, and to petition
Last week, the presidents from Washington state’s community and technical colleges met on the Kirkland campus of Lake Washington Institute of Technology for a Washington Association of Community and Technical College (WACTC) president’s meeting. The primary agenda item was filling critical state funding gaps for our community and techni-cal college system.
After three special sessions that ended last July, the Washington state legislature approved its 2015-2017 operating budget. While those of us who work within the state Community and Technical College System were pleased that tuition was reduced by five-percent for our students, and that the state funded cost of living adjustments for our staff (the first increase since 2008), the final budget didn’t include enough money to offset that. In fact, it only funded 83 percent of those cost of living adjustments, and left the colleges short by 17 percent. The final state budget also didn’t cover lost revenue in our applied bachelor’s degree programs. So, while it looks like our state community and technical colleges received additional support for our students and staff, we in fact, are still facing budget cuts, on top of all of the cuts the colleges have endured over the past several years.
There are 34 community and technical col-leges in Washington state, and combined, we
are facing a budget shortfall of $10.9 million through just the funding gap for the cost of living adjustments, and an additional $1.98 million funding gap from the tuition reduc-tion.
As the chairs of the legislative and capital committees that represent the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges, we, along with our fellow presi-dents, are committed to working with our state legislators to find a way to backfill these budget gaps. If they aren’t closed, our col-leges will have to look at additional cuts to important workforce education and transfer programs.
As our legislators prepare for the upcom-ing short session, we encourage them to adjust the operating budget, making our colleges whole. Without that, the impact will not only be felt on our campuses, by our stu-dents, but also throughout our communities.
Our economy is strong, and at a time when employers are in desperate need of a trained
workforce, we are in an uncomfortable posi-tion of not being able to respond fully to those needs. Without additional funding, we won’t be able to expand our program offer-ings in high-demand areas and will be at risk of cutting programs, preventing us from responding to the needs of our communities.
While we appreciate our hardworking legislators and the time and effort they put in during the legislative sessions last year, more needs to be done. Our state community and technical colleges provide a critical path for students to get an education, and directly enter the workforce. Without additional funding from the state legislature, all of our communities are at risk of feeling the eco-nomic impact for years to come.
Dr. Amy Morrison Goings is president of Lake Washington Institute Of Technology.Dr. Eric Murray is president of Cascadia College.

� is year a bipartisan coalition of state legislators worked together to provide an historic investment in our state’s K-12 educa-tion system, boosting school spending by $1.3 billion, an increase of $1,237 per student. It was the largest edu-cation budget increase in state history and continues the major turn-around in education spend-ing currently underway.
Since 2013, education spending has increased by $4.5 billion and state spending per student has increased 33 percent. For 30 years education was not a budget priority, but over the past few years, we’ve seen what a dramatic change is possible across the spectrum of education when we work together to
make it our priority.In fact, this dramatic
change made national news when we passed the � rst college tuition reduction in
the nation this year.
� e question I’m hearing from parents is what these new invest-ments mean for their children’s schools. In other words,
what are we buying with all this new money?
First, we are � lling in gaps created by decades of underfunding. � ese in-clude paying for the actual transportation costs of the school districts, providing full funding of materials and supplies for the school districts and paying for all-day kindergarten statewide by next school year.
Once we addressed the chronically underfunded
areas, we focused on the greatest opportunities for turning around Wash-ington’s record on educa-tion. � at meant major investments in reducing class sizes in kindergarten through third grade class-rooms where research says it’s most e� ective, nearly doubling support for high poverty students, reform-ing bilingual education and providing salary increases and improved health ben-e� ts for teachers.
Achieving these results required the support of a broad, bipartisan coali-tion. Parents, teachers, advocates and legislators came together to agree on directing this major invest-ment in schools, passing the Legislature by landslide margins in both the Senate and House.
We began this year with many budget chal-lenges but Republicans and Democrats came together
on education, agreeing on many of the results you see listed here, even before the � nal budget agreement was reached.
� is huge improvement toward fully funding edu-cation came in addition to historic expansion of early learning access and quality. Research shows that high quality early learning pays major dividends through-out a student’s education and life. � is led us to pass the Early Start Act which improves the quality of early childhood education while rapidly expanding early learning opportuni-ties in the budget by 85 percent.
Our focus on educa-tion did not end in high school, but addressed the full spectrum of education from preschool through college. We are now a na-tionally recognized leader because our budget actually reduced the cost of college
for our state’s students. A� er decades of sky-
rocketing tuition rates, we successfully fought for and passed a signi� cant reduction of college tuition. Students at our major research universities such as University of Washing-ton will see tuition drop by 15 percent. Regional colleges such as Western Washington University will drop tuition by 20 percent. Community colleges will drop tuition by 5 percent.
Once again, these were bipartisan victories that will fundamentally alter Washington’s trajectory for education. Rather than see-ing new state investments go two-to-one toward pro-grams other than educa-tion, we are now on course for the opposite: education spending is rapidly rising at a rate of two-to-one over non-education spending.
� ese monumental investments were made possible by the economy roaring back to life in the Puget Sound Region, pro-viding $3.2 billion more in revenue than the previous
budget — a 9 percent in-crease. As other parts of the state struggle to recover, we made sure that all of our education investments put the highest-need school districts � rst to ensure equal and fair education advancement across the state.
� irty years of neglect will not be undone in just one or two budgets, but if the progress we’ve made working together is any indication, we are set for a major transformation of education across the spectrum, from preschool through college.
� e news on education in Washington is good and our children’s schools are already bene� tting.
Sen. Andy Hill repre-sents Redmond, Duvall, Kirkland, Sammamish and Woodinville (45th Legislative District) in the Washington State Senate and serves as chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

• True, our local population is very reli-giously diverse.
I would venture to say however, that the majority of Redmond’s population is Christian. I’m sorry if the cross and manger are o� ensive to you and “to many people of many religions.” I suggest you look the other way when you see these Christian icons and accept them as part

I read with interest the article regarding thieves removing parcels from the front door steps of homes a� er deliveries by UPS and USPS. We have experienced this in our neighborhood in the past and work to be diligent to discourage this from happening.
What I � nd interesting in the article is that the victim was home at the time of the delivery. From our personal experi-ence, not only is the doorbell not rung, but the USPS may not even get the parcel to the front door, leaving it on the sidewalk 8-plus feet from the door. It seems a good customer service gesture would be to place the package to the side of the door and ring the doorbell. We have trained our regular UPS driver to do this, but seasonal drivers and USPS deliveries seem to pass
up the great opportunity for customer ser-vice. I can always put a note on the button if I have a sleeping baby.Sam WeirbachRedmond
Salon partners with YWCA of Redmond
C. Joy Salon of Redmond has catered and specialized in women’s beauty since 2009. In 2011, they started a relationship with the YWCA of Redmond.
C. Joy, a small family owned salon, has provided services to the ladies, including hair cuts, hair style, hair color and facials. � ese women were striving for a better future for themselves and their children. It would o� en be right before a big interview, which provided con� dence and hope! � e women would give them letters sharing their life story. Hearing their stories and knowing that they were a positive part in them bettering themselves was a joyful reward for the C. Joy girls.
In 2013, Christmas for 10 families at
the YWCA was a bit brighter as C. Joy cheerfully shopped for the ladies and the YWCA’s children. � e owner, Carolann Schmidt, included her own daughter in this act of kindness. She loved providing a great gi� to them as well as the gi� of giving!
Just last weekend, C. Joy hosted an event called “Ladies Night.” Attendees were encouraged to bring donations for the YWCA. Not just an ordinary donation, but a “beautiful garment,” a piece that they’d be proud to give to a friend, a piece that sparkles and brings beauty!
C. Joy is proudly accepting garments for the Redmond women community till the end of 2015. Stop in and meet the C. Joy girls with a beautiful garment from your wardrobe that you think could be better used by one of these amazing women at the YWCA. � e salon is located at 16122 N.E. 87th St.C. Joy SalonRedmond

SAMANTHA PAK
Since it was founded in 2011, the mission of VALA Eastside has been to con-nect artists to artists, artists to the community and the community to art.
Founder Jessica Lambert said the work the nonpro� t does is to honor and recog-nize local artists for their work. And currently, the organization’s latest installa-tion is doing just that.
[R]evolution is at the VALA Art Center at 7330 164th Ave. N.E. in Red-mond Town Center and features � ve local artists and activists: Rebecca DeVere, Latha Sambamurti, Gwen Maxwell-Williams, Eva Moon and Laura Lee
Bennett.Each artist had their
portrait painted and those portraits are hanging at the art center.
“Each portrait represents a di� erent stage of the cre-ative process,” said Moon.
� e portraits were painted by Savvy Dani.
“When VALA invited me to paint these amazing artists, I jumped, of course,” Dani said during a talk at the installation’s opening at VALA on Dec. 10. “To be able to paint � ve interesting women from life was an in-credible opportunity for an artist focused on realism.”
Dani said what excited her more was the chance to explore the artists’ common thread such as how an artist faces inspiration. Her por-
traits for [R]evolution are based on the answers she found as she painted them.
“� e artist is in the state when the inspiration is just the seed of a dream, very nebulous and just a hint somewhere,” she said. “� e artist is a dream weaver at this stage. A happy place to be.”
In a statement to Dani, DeVere said, “My inspira-tion comes to me ‘down-loaded’ — a feeling, a passion with an urgency to complete or from my ma-terials or plein air light and shadow, colors and shadow: combinations I learn from.”
� ese � ve artists featured in the VALA installation represent Redmond and the greater Eastside.
Lambert, who is also the installation’s curator, said while [R]evolution has a been about a year in the making, the idea for it has been there since VALA started.
“� e seeds have been there for � ve years,” she said.
Tamar Alsberg also cu-rated the installation.
[R]evolution — which will run through January 2016 — was initially titled Women in Art as nine times out of 10, it is women artists who come to VALA
to � nd their voices, reinvent themselves as artists and to connect to a space that allows them to showcase their work, Lambert said.
“As the idea for the show evolved, we started to see a common thread woven into their work,” she said. “� ey have all been advo-cates within the Redmond community…� ese people needed to be honored.”
Lambert described the artists as having evolved and pushed art forward.
“� ey have all, in their own disciplines, broken the mold,” she said.
Each of the � ve artists is in a di� erent � eld of art. DeVere is a painter who is also an activist for the arts. Sambamurti is a dancer, singer and producer who has organized a number of Indian cultural events in the area and currently sits on the Washington State Arts Commission. Maxwell-Williams is a � ber artist who also lectures and teaches quilting and textile art and is the founder of the Paci� c NW African American Quilters Guild and co-founder of Eastside Art Quilts. Moon is a per-formance artist who feels it is important to be involved in the community, not just to share her art but also as an activist to keep art alive in the community. Bennett is a writer, poet and editor who has helped develop and run writing programs
through the Redmond As-sociation of Spokenword, or “RASP.”
“� ese are pretty in� u-ential people that we’re lucky to have in our midst,” Lambert said.
For Bennett, being asked was both exciting and dreadful.
“I’m not used to the lime-light,” she said. “I’m used to focusing on the next task, whether it’s setting up chairs or emceeing a poetry reading.”
Now that the show is up, however, something has changed, she said. Bennett is engaging more with the community — both in con-versation and performance as an artist.
“I feel it in my bones,” she said. “� ere’s no turn-ing back. It’s a thrill to be honored and challenged in this way.”
Moon was equally hon-ored. She said being asked to be included in the instal-lation was unexpected, but it was also inspiring to have this type of responsibil-ity to work harder to be worthy of the honor.
“To be recognized like this is sort of a call to ac-tion, too,” she said.
Sambamurti is also motivated to explore new horizons in her art.
“New pursuits will make me learn new things in life and help me grow,” she said. “I also want to serve the community more through arts. I want to be an inspiration to people to bring out their creativity, inspiration, passion and perseverance.”
Sambamurti’s work re� ects this. She said the

festivals she organizes allow people to understand other cultures and art forms and encourage people to learn new art forms from di� er-ent parts of the world.
In a statement to Dani, Maxwell-Williams said art allowed her to � nd her voice.
“It excites me to sketch a piece and then take that working drawing and through the use of vari-ous techniques, colorful fabrics — turn those raw techniques into my per-sonal statement,” Maxwell-Williams said. “I become thoroughly fascinated with the work at hand. I have the freedom to change, alter the work until it says ‘well done - it is � nished, it is you.’”

Jeff Pinneo experienced an up-close glimpse into what Syrian refugees are going through in Lebanon’s Beqaa
Valley and the Greek islands of Chios and Samos. The Medical Teams International (MTI) president and CEO recently returned from an eye-opening and heart-wrenching one-week journey
to gain firsthand insight into the work that his charitable organization and its partners are doing in response to the refugee crisis.
Based in Portland with its Western Washington head-quarters in Redmond, MTI is a global relief and develop-ment organization serving people affected by disaster, conflict and poverty around the world.
MTI predominantly raises money for medicine and health products with long-es-tablished partners to distrib-ute to refugees. At the end of November, MTI mailed 10,000 care kits — many of which were assembled in a Redmond warehouse — to Lebanon, Greece and other countries.
LEBANONFor the last four years —
since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war and the first wave of refugees that fled their homeland — MTI has focused its work in Lebanon, which now has 1.2 million Syrian refugees.
“The level of vulnerabil-
ity there we deemed much higher and so we focused our efforts there,” said Pinneo, who was accompanied on his trip by a videographer.
MTI now has an 11-per-son staff, which includes a doctor, a dentist and other community health profes-sionals who have been there for about a year and half or two years. Health workers — including a dentist who is a Syrian refugee — try to make twice-monthly visits to the 40 different refugee settle-ments that MTI focuses on in Zahle.
Pinneo described the MTI-focused settlements as a loosely planned series of structures that are tied into a power grid with open power boxes to create some electricity. In harsh weather, the refugees are exposed to bacterial waterborne diseases and must deal with other health issues.
“Nothing’s guaranteed at all. They’re so resourceful in terms of gathering, garnering support on just basic food and water,” said Pinneo, who

noted that in at least one camp, children were attend-ing school. “So they’re able to keep some semblance of normalcy going for some of the kids.”
Pinneo said that his con-versations with some of the refugee families were often tear-filled.
One 23-year-old woman was just entering her fourth year of university in com-puter engineering on the day her seven-member fam-ily had to flee from Syria. The neighbors two houses down had been kidnapped and a school was bombed: They had to pack what they could carry and get out post haste.
“The future that she was that close to reaching, was taken from her. And to talk to her about that was really humbling for me, ‘cause I had this presumption that her giving up her future would be like the biggest grief. But her tears came when she talked about her brother in Sweden, worried about him and just worried about his future and their future together,” said Pin-neo, adding that the brother made his way to Sweden with family money — partly from the sale of their 300 head of sheep in Syria — to find a place to live, finish his education, find a job and save enough money to bring the rest of his family there.
The family lives in a settlement they made for themselves, adjacent to a potato field where they work.
Pinneo said the 23-year-old stoically told him that she hasn’t lost hope, and “she offered that in a way of encouragement to other 20-somethings around the world.”
GREECEIn Greece, MTI has a
long partnership with two agencies — International Orthodox Christian Chari-
ties and Apostoli — and has sent containers with medi-cines and health products to them to distribute there.
“With the emergence of this (refugee crisis), they went right into action,” Pin-neo said.
With Greece being the first port of entry to the Eu-ropean union and months and months of red tape to cut through to enter legally, thousands of people are contacting black marketeers to arrange illegal crossings from Turkey on the Aegean Sea. After a four-nautical-
mile trip to the eastern Greek islands, they hit the shore and begin the process of registering with the United Nations (UN) and applying to move deeper into Europe.
“It’s a very risky crossing, depending on weather and circumstance and all that, but mostly it’s one that is fa-cilitated by human traffick-ers, profiteers,” Pinneo said. “They’re charging on aver-age about $1,200 to $1,500 a person. And they’re doing it by supplying rubber rafts with outboard motors and
lifejackets, piling everybody in and then appointing somebody, just say, ‘You steer it over there and take it over across the island.’ So hundreds of drownings have occurred since the little boy that washed up on the shores in Greece that brought the world’s atten-tion.”
Pinneo shakes his head in disbelief when he told of seeing the beaches littered with lifejackets and popped rafts, and families drying their clothes by draping them across boats. The liv-ing conditions in camps are rough while they’re waiting to move along on their journey.
“The interviews with the people were the most poi-gnant. For them, this was their first landfall on (Euro-pean) soil,” Pinneo said. “As difficult as everything had been to that point, as trau-matized as they were, there was a hopefulness now that they were there, so that was really wonderful.”
One mother, son, aunt and sister had a difficult crossing and were looking forward to being reunited with the father, who was already ahead in Germany.
Pinneo said that from his observations, there was adequate security for the refugees in Lebanon and Greece.
If an uprising broke out in Lebanon, armed forces or intelligence support would be called on site.
MTI checks in many times a day with the two organiza-tions as they go about their work. In Greece, the UN in conjunction with Greek authorities are on hand if tensions flare up.
Pinneo felt safe on his journey and said they make a sophisticated assessment of the situation and adhere to security protocols and are attentive to allowed routings.
“I came back inspired to form a trip of concerned and connected donors who, on fairly short notice, could carve out a week to do what I just did. To go back with me, and to come back more deeply informed, go to their Bellevue rotaries and be able to talk to others about it, to generate more support for the effort,” Pinneo said.
“This is a work where you don’t have to manufacture any motivation for need,” he added. “So many people (are) counting on us to get it right every day, and I’m just so proud of the way our team is all motivated by that. Our faith inspires us to show up and they show up very, very well.”

Last year, Hopelink was able to provide gifts for about 7,000 children through its gift rooms. These were from contri-butions from Microsoft employees as well as donations from other busi-nesses, organizations and community groups.
This year, the Redmond groups participating in gift drives for Hopelink’s cam-paign include Iron Tribe Fitness, Emerald Heights, Nintendo and The Cleve-land Condos. A number of Redmond-area schools have also held drives for the cause.
Bulmer said there are more than 200 gift drives happening throughout the region for Hopelink’s campaign.
“This is definitely a re-cord year for Hopelink,” he said about communities’ participation.
And while all of these
drives provide gifts for the giving rooms, Bulmer said Microsoft’s contributions are the largest.
“We love supporting Hopelink,” said Stacey Key Quintella, an executive as-sistant at Microsoft who is also the project manager of the Microsoft Giving Tree. “There are also five other nonprofits who benefit from our Giving Tree pro-gram: Rainier Vista Boys & Girls Club, Snohomish Boys & Girls Club, Friends of Youth, Senior Services (in Seattle) and Seattle Children’s (Hospital).”
She said the estimated 25,000 gifts from Micro-soft employees will go toward these organizations and those they serve.
“It’s important for everyone to be a good hu-man in this day and age,” Quintella said. “I’m not biased to just Microsoft. The Giving Tree is just one of many options that Microsoft includes as part of their helping hands to the community.”
In addition to provid-ing gifts to those in need, the items donated by Microsoft employees are also eligible for the tech company’s matching gift program, meaning the organizations receive ad-ditional monetary dona-tions.
Quintella said the com-
pany uses the tax receipt of items purchased and matches the full amount for this campaign. “Em-ployees show us the receipt and Microsoft sends the dollar figure the employee spent to the nonprofit,” she said. “Last year, this program hit the $1 million milestone, meaning that Microsoft matched, over the life of the Giving Tree program, one million dollars’ worth of gifts. Mi-crosoft matches employee contributions to nonprofits up to $15,000 per employ-ee, per year.”
Bulmer said at Hope-link, the matched mon-etary donations can go toward additional gift pur-chases for the Giving Tree or toward other Hopelink services throughout their organization.
“The Giving Tree pro-
gram is one of many ways that Microsoft supports the community work of Hopelink throughout the year,” Bulmer said. “This program is very special, not only because of the amount of gifts that are donated by Microsoft’s employees, but because of the effect these gifts have on families throughout our community.”
He said more than 95 percent of the people Hopelink serves have a household income of less than $33,000 and parents in these households are more than likely working more than one job to just make ends meet.
Hopelink provides vari-ous services throughout the year to help people, but during the holidays Bul-mer said they help parents “provide special memories
for their children, who otherwise would go with-out at this time of year.”
“Parents face a difficult choice during the winter: heating bills, additional food and other pres-sures cause additional monetary strain,” he said.
“The support provided by Microsoft’s employees and many other businesses in our region means that we can alleviate some of those pressures and ensure that children everywhere, regardless of means, can enjoy the holidays.”

He said some of the issues they discussed at the workshop and will continue to discuss include where marijuana retail shops should be located, how wide the aforemen-tioned buffers should be and whether shops should be separated from each other. Some other points of discussion that came up during last week’s work-shop included parking concerns and where and how people use marijuana.
Currently, while city staff is collecting public feedback, they are also working to come up with recommendations to pres-ent to the city’s Planning Commission in the first week of January 2016.
“(At this moment) staff does not have any recom-mendations,” said Lori Peckol, long-range plan-ning manager for the city.
From there, the Plan-ning Commission will continue to collect input and feedback from the public — this includes holding a public hearing on Jan. 27, 2016. The com-mission will then present
its recommendations to City Council.
Peckol said the com-mission can present its recommendations as soon as after the public hear-ing if they complete their review then or it could take them until sometime in February.
City Council will take up the matter sometime in early March, she said. Council can decide to make an amendment to the city’s zoning code regarding retail businesses, reduce the required buffer zone or a combination of this. Or, Peckol said, they can decide to make no changes.
While Redmond was initially allotted two mari-juana retail businesses, the state’s Liquor and Cannabis Board increased the city’s number to four earlier this week.
Peckol said this means the city can give up to four licenses to marijuana retail businesses. However, it is hard to say if and how this will affect discussions on the topic as the city has not had to deal with retail businesses yet.
