Rooting for their MustangsTeen center closed for 3 days after small � reSAMANTHA PAK

The Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) in Redmond was closed last Thursday, Friday and Saturday due to a small fire that occurred in the building’s media lab in the early morning of Feb. 12.

Janessa Rosick, public information coordinator for the Redmond Police Department (RPD), said one police unit responded to the fire, which was reported at 3:24 a.m. She said the Redmond Fire Department assisted.

The fire was limited to a mixing board in the

room and was contained by the sprinkler system.

Rana Shmait, pro-gram coordinator for the OFH, said the center was closed just for clean up and there were no safety concerns.

Ken Wong, teen pro-grams director for the City of Redmond, added that a show scheduled for last Friday evening at the teen center was moved to the Redmond Senior Center, just as a precau-tion so staff can finish up cleaning at the OFH.

Shmait said there was a dessert-making event planned for last Satur-day evening, with the treats being donated to a local women’s shelter. The event was moved to the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center.

The cause of the fire is still unknown and Shmait said they are still investi-gating.

Come next month, the Albertsons at 3925 236th Ave. N.E. in unincorpo-rated King County near Redmond will be con-verted to a Haggen.

Deborah Pleva, spokes-person for Haggen, said a speci� c date for the change is still tentative, but it is looking like some-time in early March.

� e Redmond-area store is among 26 Washington stores that will be converted to Haggen stores. Overall, the Bellingham-based company plans to acquire and convert 146 stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona in the � rst half of this year.

WHAT WILL CHANGE AND WHAT WON’T

With the conversion will come a number of changes, but one aspect that will not change is the store’s current employees.

Pleva said Haggen has invited all employees to stay on board if they so choose.

“� at was a huge part for Haggen,” she said.

For the next few weeks, o� -duty deputies from the King County Sheri� ’s O� ce will be patrolling several parks and trails in the area to provide patrons with information about leash laws — as well as to enforce those laws — and other rules intended to keep everyone safe.

Doug Williams, spokes-person for the county’s Department of Natural Resources and Parks, said the deputies, who are contracted by his depart-ment, are not targeting a particular area and they will be visiting parks and trails throughout the county. He said they want to be able to reach the most people possible and patrols will be primarily on the weekends.

“� e goal isn’t to write a bunch of tickets,” Williams said, adding that the county has done these types of extra patrols in the past, though it has been a couple of years. “It was just time to do it again.”

He said the goal is to just remind people about these laws that already exist.

KEEPING EVERYONE SAFEWilliams said the law is

that all dogs must remain on a leash at all times except in designated areas. One of those areas — the only area within King County’s 28,000 acres of parks and open space — is the 40-acre o� -leash dog park within Marymoor Park.

“It’s a safety issue,” Wil-liams said.

Avoid IRS telephone scams

this tax seasonAccording to the Redmond

Police Department (RPD), they’ve received a few calls concerning Internal Revenue Service (IRS) impersonators during the 2015 tax-� ling season.

A release on the RPD’s Twitter reads:

� e IRS reports a surge in phone scams in recent months. Agent impersonators are known to call citizens and demand payment, sometimes threatening police arrest, deportation and license revo-cation. Scam artists o� en alter caller ID numbers to make it appear like the IRS is calling and use fake names and badge numbers. � e criminals

rely on such threats to scare citizens into providing their � nancial information. � ose whose � rst language is not English and the elderly com-munity are among the most commonly targeted groups.

� e IRS will never initiate � rst contact with taxpayers over the phone; noti� cation is typically made via mail. A new video was recently released by the IRS with tips to avoid being scammed.

� e IRS will never:• Call to demand immedi-

ate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without � rst having mailed you a bill.

• Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.

• Require you to use a

speci� c payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.

• Ask for credit or debit-card numbers over the phone.

• � reaten to bring in local police or other law-enforce-ment groups to have you arrested for not paying.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what you should do:

• If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. � e IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.

• If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov.

A middle-schooler coping with the loss of a family member. A teen who was new to town and just wanted to fit in. A high-school athlete. The daughter of a Seattle news anchor.

Depressed, rebel-lious, ostracized, troublemaker: These words don’t describe many of the kids we see at Youth Eastside Services (YES) for sub-stance abuse. They’re the kid scoring the winning goal at the big game. They’re the kid who just aced the IB chemistry exam. They’re your neighbor’s kids. They could be yours.

In 2014, 37.4 percent of U.S. 12th-graders reported using alcohol in the last month, and more than 20 percent reported using marijuana. Good grades, involve-ment in sports and clubs, and even great friendships don’t always translate to a drug-free youth.

Being a kid is stressful, and kids are still in the process of developing the emotional tools they need to cope effectively. One of the most fundamental things we do at YES is teach kids how to deal with tough emotions like insecurity, loneliness and frustration in healthy ways. It’s a hard task to learn — many adults are still working on mastering it.

The good news is that every parent can take action to greatly reduce their child’s risk for using drugs or alcohol. And let’s face it — every percentage point decrease is a huge victory.

SEVEN WAYS TO RAISE A DRUG-FREE CHILD

1. Talk with your kids openly. Emphasize why it’s important to their development to wait to consume legal substances. Kids who consistently learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are up to 50 percent less likely to use drugs than those who don’t.

2. Deliver honest, age-appropriate

information. Start as early as age 5. For a kindergartner, a simple statement like, “Alcohol and drugs are not for kids, and even adults can get into trouble using them,” may suffice. As your child gets older, increase the sophistication of your dialogue, and make sure your information is balanced and accurate. Look for teach-able moments rather than having the “drug talk.” Check www.drugfree.com or www.nida.nih.gov for resources.

3. Listen carefully and without judg-ment. It’s hard to broach sensitive issues. Be sympathetic and try to understand situ-ations from your child’s point of view.

4. Develop their self-confidence. Praise your child’s efforts, and help them deal with peer pressure and acceptance. Discuss the importance of real friendships and being an individual. Help them discover their interests and passions; young people

who are engaged in activities are less likely to abuse drugs.

5. Be a parent, not a friend. Kids are less likely to abuse substances when their par-ents strongly disapprove. Set clear bound-aries and real consequences. Be prepared to withhold privileges if there’s a breach in trust.

6. Know where your child is, who their friends are and how they’re spending their free time. Keep the lines of communication open, and don’t make assumptions: Just because your child appears to have re-sponsible friends doesn’t mean they’re not experimenting with substances.

7. Team up with other parents. Form a group with the parents of your child’s friends and get to know them. Learn from the experiences of other parents. If you want to hear from a parent whose child struggled with substance abuse, listen to Emmy-Award-winning journalist Penny LeGate’s story at our annual Invest in Youth Breakfast on March 4.

Even great parents can have a child who’s using substances. What matters most is

Letting go of ‘not my child’

Be a parent, not a friend. Kids are less like-ly to abuse substances when their parents strongly disapprove. Set clear boundaries

and real consequences. Be prepared to with-hold privileges if there’s a breach in trust.

Energize Eastside is needed to maintain reliable, a� ordable electricity

A recent letter to the editor suggested that Puget Sound En-ergy’s (PSE) Energize Eastside project was conceived to help balance treaty requirements between the United States and Canada. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Energize Eastside — a project to build a new electric sub-station and higher capacity

transmission lines — has al-ways been about improving the local electric delivery system for PSE’s Eastside-area custom-ers in the face of more than 50 years of unprecedented growth. Responsible agencies such as the Puget Sound Regional Council project this dramatic growth to continue. Energize Eastside is needed to maintain reliable and affordable electric-ity for nearly 400,000 current and untold future PSE electric customers on the Eastside.

Because the electric system is interconnected for the benefit of all, it is a federal require-

ment to study all electric transmission projects to ensure there are no adverse impacts to the reliability or operating characteristics of PSE’s or any surrounding utilities’ electric systems. Energize Eastside has been studied to ensure it passes that test, and it does.

Since the inception of the Energize Eastside project, PSE has publicly discussed these studies and how the Energize Eastside project fits into the interconnected system. Details can be found in the published studies available on the Ener-gize Eastside project website:

www.PSE.com/energizeeastside.

The studies also clearly dem-onstrate that Energize Eastside is about local Eastside electric-ity delivery needs. This local need isn’t diminished by the project’s ability to safely inte-grate into the interconnected electric system.Jens Nedrud, professional engineer and senior projec t manager for the Puget Sound Energy — Energize Eastside projec t

The diet of LentWednesday marked the

beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry.

But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to Christ. It helps re-duce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation and animal abuse. Dozens of medi-cal reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated

risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer and other killer diseases. A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being beaten, caged, crowded, deprived, mutilated and shocked.

Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Christ’s powerful message of compassion and love by adopting a meat-free diet for Lent an beyond. After all, it’s the diet man-dated in Genesis I-29 and observed in the Garden of Eden. Sherman Peters, Seattle

It’s a well-known saying that, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

And for Bruno Gral-pois, the idiom became really clear with the arrival of his daughter. After she was born, the former Microsoft Corp. executive said, that was when he realized that there are so many things girls and women struggle with when it comes to their physical appearance.

“I felt that we lost sight of what real beauty is,” he said about his realization.

Gralpois, who worked as an executive at Visa af-ter leaving Microsoft, said society has an unhealthy standard of what beauty is and he wants people to look at it in a more bal-anced way.

It was with this goal that he wrote his latest book, “Magnifique Inside & Out.” According to the synopsis on its website, the book “is a personal guide to understand-ing how beauty fits in our busy lives, building and strengthening core competencies and healthy habits, standing out in crowds and being your absolute best in every situation.”

In the book, Gralpois interviews former Miss USA winners, execu-tives, published authors, field experts and more as he covers four topics: body (nutrition, exercise sleep, etc.), mind (com-municating, listening and connecting), confidence building (how to lead and inspire) and projecting yourself (personal brand, creating a purpose and conveying that to the world).

As a man, Gralpois said in writing a book about

female beauty, his opinion was actually welcomed into the conversation among those he spoke with during the process. He said men have been largely absent from the dialogue regarding female beauty and how they can help change things.

Gralpois — who also wrote “Agency Mania: Harnessing the Madness of Client/Agency Re-lationships For High-Impact Results” — is a native of France and grew up near Paris. Accord-ing to the “Manifique” website, he was an adviser for two-time Academy Award-winning actress Emma Thompson. His

“passion lies in protecting human rights and helping others realize their true potential,” the website reads.

Gralpois said his hope

for “Magnifique” is for his daughter and other girls and women to feel beautiful no matter what. He said he wants them to think about themselves and others in a new way and come away from reading his book feeling hopeful.

In addition to the epiphany he had when his daughter was born, Gral-pois said he had another eye-opening experience when he was asked to be a celebrity judge for a couple of Miss USA pageants. He admitted to having his own precon-ceived notions and ideas of what a pageant par-ticipant would be like, but when he met and got to know some of the young women, Gralpois saw how remarkable and inspiring they were. Some of the participants were entre-preneurs and owned their own companies. Others were excelling academi-cally. And others still focused their energies on giving back to their local communities.

“I was just blown away,” he said about the young women.

Gralpois added that some of the women he met through the pag-eants overcame great adversity. For example, one participant had been legally blind since she was a child but instead of using her disability as an excuse, Gralpois said she used it as an advantage.

It was through these experiences that Gralpois came to the conclusion that society has been focusing on the wrong type of beauty. He said the media’s and advertise-ments’ focus on outer beauty have led to many girls and women with low self-esteem. Through writing “Magnifique”

and looking at various study results, Gralpois has learned that most women do not find themselves beautiful, which he said is a “tragedy.”

“Magnifique” is now available in paperback as well as for Amazon Kindle readers. Gral-pois said there will be a

book-launching event beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at Hotel 1000 at 1000 First Ave. in Seattle. To learn more about the event, visit www.magnifiqueinsideout.com and click on the “RSVP Launch Event” link at the top of the page.

LWSD students selected as candidates for scholars

programSix Lake Washington

School District (LWSD) high school students have been selected as candi-dates for the U.S. Presi-dential Scholars Program.

Andrew Chronister and Christopher Yu from Nikola Tesla STEM High

School, Lila Balakrishnan and Oleksandra Ianchen-ko from Redmond High School, Cheng Shan of Eastlake High School and Mia Richards of Interna-tional Community School are among the 72 students statewide selected as candidates.

These students will now complete applica-tions for the chance to become presidential scholars. Each year, up to 141 students nationally are named as scholars,

one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students. The U.S. Presi-dential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the president, to recognize and honor some of the nation’s most distin-guished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extend-ed to recognize students who demonstrate excep-tional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts.

a recent uptick in reports by park and trail visitors about potentially dan-gerous situations such as dog � ghts involving one or more o� -leash dogs. Williams added that they haven’t had any cases lately in which a dog has attacked a human, but they have had them in the past. He said if a human is hurt, it has usually been the result of them trying to break up a dog � ght.

In the last year, the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC), received a total of 212 animal bite reports. Of those, 178 were from dogs, 33 were from cats and one was from a squirrel. Pit bulls, pit bull mixes and American bulldogs were involved in 36 of the 212 incidents. German shepherd dogs and German shep-herd dogs mixes were involved in 14 reported incidents. Rottweilers and Rottweiler mixes were involved in six reported incidents. Labradors and lab mixes were involved in 28 reported incidents.

� ese and other violations of the county’s “code of conduct” has created the need for an education and aware-ness campaign — and possibly big � nes for � agrant o� enders.

A violation of the leash law can result in a monetary � ne of up to $500.

“King County’s parks and trails are valuable assets that link communities and enhance our region’s tremendous quality of life,” said Washington Trails Association (WTA) Executive Direc-tor Karen Daubert in a King County press release. “By following a few basic rules, visitors are ensuring that these wonderful places can be enjoyed by all.”

A PARTNERSHIP TO EDUCATEKindra Ramos, communication and

outreach director for WTA, said their nonpro� t organization is partnering with King County to help spread the word about the leash-law enforcement.

As Williams said, Ramos keeping dogs on their leashes while hiking the area’s trails is a safety concern and courtesy. She said other hikers may not be comfortable with o� -leash dogs and even a small to medium-sized o� -leash dog could be pretty scary for small children.

� e leash laws are also for the dogs’ safety, Ramos said. She said while out on the trails, a dog could get distracted by the wildlife in the area and take o� away from its owner.

In addition to spreading the word about the leash-law enforcement oc-curring in King County, Ramos said WTA also o� ers tips on their websites on how people can hike safely with their dogs. Some of those tips include making sure to provide dog with its own water source and bowl, carrying

plastic bags to clean up a� er them, practicing on-leash skills and com-mands ahead of time and putting booties on your dogs paws if you plan to hike in a tougher terrain.

OFFICER INVOLVEMENTJanessa Rosick, public information

coordinator for the Redmond Police Department (RPD), said police don’t typically respond to animal control-related calls unless a situation becomes extreme such as a severe dog bite or an assault on a RASKC o� cer.

“Should RPD respond to a danger-ous situation involving a dog, King County dispatch will be noti� ed by Redmond police and they will have (RASKC) respond to the scene,” she said.

Cameron Satter� eld, communica-tions manager for RASKC, said when they receive a call or complaint regard-ing a vicious dog, they will send out an o� cer to assess the situation, take a look at the dog that was bitten — or if a human was bitten, speak with them.

Depending on the severity of the bite, Satter� eld said a dog owner can receive civil penalties, monetary � nes ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars. He said a case may also be turned over to the prosecuting attorney’s o� ce and criminal charges can be brought upon the dog owner. � ose could be cases in which the suspect dog is a repeat o� ender, the animal that was attacked was actually killed or if the dog had bitten a human.

Satter� eld said they can also issue a notice of removal, meaning the animal can no longer be kept within RASKC’s jurisdiction — 25 cities including Redmond, as well as unincorporated King County. He said this could hap-pen when a dog is determined to be vicious.

In very rare cases, Satter� eld said, a dog may be put down. He said this would only happen a� er the dog was put through a behavioral testing process and was determined to be particularly vicious and then it would be humanely euthanized.

RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSSatter� eld said it is important for

people to be responsible pet own-ers and to keep their dogs leashed or fenced if they know their dog has a propensity toward aggression.

“No matter the size of the dog, any dog can bite,” he said. “� ere’s always that potential.”

Satter� eld added that this is par-ticularly important to remember with spring just around the corner and more people will be out and about in parks and along trails.

He said it is also important for people to license their pets.

Ben Floyd, the store man-ager for the Albertsons, said he is excited for his roughly 70 store associates.

“Everyone’s coming over,” he said. “We need everyone.”

Floyd said he has a friendly group of associates at the store and their customers are glad that they are all staying on board a� er the change to Haggen.

“Our customers are just as excited (as our employees),” he said.

Floyd said a change that will be happening with the conversion is the store will be expanding its produce department, which will also feature a larger organic sec-tion. He added that under the Haggen banner, his store will also be receiving produce deliveries 6-7 days a week.

“It’s just a great opportunity for the Redmond area,” he said about the conversion.

Pleva said Haggen focuses on sourcing locally and work-ing with regional farmers and other local food producers.

MAKING THEIR MARK IN THE COMMUNITY

Jane Hague, King County Council member who rep-resents areas around Red-mond, said she likes Haggen’s commitment to local foods as it will give the store a more neighborhood feel to it.

“I think it will be a fabulous addition to Redmond,” she said. “I think (customers will) get a better sense of com-munity.”

She added that this will help customers view Haggen as “their store.” And Hague is not just talking about her constituents. She is count-

ing herself among the store’s future customers.

“I’ll probably shop there,” she said.

In addition to working with local food producers, Pleva said Haggen also supports the communities where its stores are located and they plan to partner with local nonpro� t organizations to support their causes.

“We want to meet with them,” she said. “It’s a way for us to get to know the commu-nity and for the community to get to know us.”

Floyd said he is looking forward to continuing exist-ing partnerships his store has with the community, such as those with local food banks. He said this will help the store grow more connected with the area they serve.

A SHORT CLOSUREPleva said once the big day

to change from Albertsons to Haggen comes, the store will close at 6 p.m. Haggen will take ownership at 12:01 a.m. the next day and the store will remain closed the follow-ing day as changes are made throughout the building. � e store will reopen the follow-ing day, Pleva said.

� e main changes will be signage, but she said the store will also receive a fresh coat of paint and in some cir-cumstances, � ooring may be changed, as well. In addition, she said, the store’s produce section will be expanded and highlighted. � ere will also be some changes customers won’t see such as a change in the point-of-sale system at the registers, Pleva said.

While the store will remain closed during the conversion, Pleva said it is their goal to

keep the pharmacy open so people have access to any medications they may need.

FROM LOCAL TO REGIONALAccording to a Haggen

press release, the company’s acquisitions are part of the divestment process brought about by the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) review of the Albertsons LLC and Safeway merger. � e FTC approved the divesture on Jan. 27 and the merger of Albertsons and Safeway Inc. was completed on Jan. 30.

“� is momentous acquisi-tion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rapidly expand the Haggen brand across the West Coast,” said John Caple, chairman of the Hag-gen board of directors and partner at Comvest Partners, a private investment � rm that owns the majority share of Haggen, in the release. “Now that the deal has closed, our team is focused on seamlessly converting these 146 stores to the Haggen brand over the next � ve months.”

Haggen will expand from 18 stores with 16 pharmacies to 164 stores with 106 phar-macies; from 2,000 employees to more than 10,000 employ-ees; and from a Paci� c North-west company with locations in Oregon and Washington to a major regional grocery chain.

“We’re excited about the changes we’re making to enhance these stores and we’re con� dent customers will like the new look, the new o� erings and their new full-service grocery destination,” said John Clougher, Haggen CEO Paci� c Northwest, in the press release.

Hip replacements are one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries. Total hip replacements were � rst performed in 1960s. Over the next 40 years, research and development resulted in improved implant de-sign. During the last 10 years, the primary focus in hip replacement research has been on enhancing and speeding recovery periods.

� e results of this re-search have led to minimal-ly invasive procedures using new techniques and instru-ments to lessen so� tissue damage while performing a total hip replacement. We can now perform most hip replacements with a one- to two-day hospital stay,

or even as an outpatient surgery under optimal con-ditions. Minimally invasive techniques result in quicker recov-eries, smaller in-cisions, less blood loss and earlier return to normal lifestyles.

Minimally invasive hip re-placement can be done through an anterior or posterior approach. One bene� t of using these tech-niques is minimal so� -tis-sue trauma and the avoid-ance of cutting tendons and muscles in approaching the joint. � ese techniques require special training and instruments. In addition,

new techniques in pain management of postop-erative pain are available.

Multimodal pain control is a method of combining long and short acting numbing injec-tions done at sur-gery, with various oral medications postoperatively to

control in� ammation and pain. � e need for postop-erative narcotics is less a� er a minimally invasive hip replacement.

� e approach that is best for you is best determined by a personalized discus-sion with your surgeon. � ere are many factors that

can impact which surgical approach is best for you. Some factors are: your weight and how you carry it, sti� ness, prior incisions, muscle tightness and bone deformity.

Minimally invasive hip replacement result in less postoperative need for medication, a lower inci-dence of post-replacement hip dislocations, and an average of 14 days limping versus 24 days, which has been the standard for many years. � ese advances in the recovery period allow for a shorter time o� work and a quicker return to normal activities. Many of these procedures can be done as an outpatient surgery, thus allowing you to be safely cared for in a familiar environment by those who love you.

� e total joint team at ProOrtho has pioneered these techniques, and is excited to be the � rst to of-fer outpatient total joint re-placement in select patients.

Dr. Stickney will present a free patient seminar re-garding advancements in joint replacement at 7 p.m. on March 12 at 12911 120th Ave. N.E., Suite H210, Kirkland. To reg-ister, call (425) 216-7017 or visit www.myproortho.com.

Special to the Reporter

Why is fitness such a talked about topic? There’s no mystery to it right? Just simply exer-cise and watch what you eat and you will have the body and confidence you desire.

Well, if it were that easy then you wouldn’t see millions of books and magazines explaining how to get the best body now, there wouldn’t be televi-sion programs showcasing the importance of health

and fitness. According to Marketdata Enterprises, a company that spe-cializes in tracking niche markets, Americans spend a little more than $60 billion a year on fitness-oriented items, that’s anything from gym mem-berships to drinking reduce fat items. There are a lot of things you could spend $60 billion on, and I feel pro-tein shakes don’t make the top of the list. There are a few reasons for this and why it is important to take fitness seriously.

It’s not easy. It’s that simple. When it comes to fitness, figuring out what you need for your body and how to ensure you are at your optimal per-formance at all times is a tricky thing if you don’t know what to look for. There are more than 600 muscles in the human body, which make up 35-40 percent of your body’s weight. All these muscles are moving in different directions, all with different functions, all needing different things. To walk into a gym and know how to properly work all these muscles the correct way without the assistance of anyone would be a nearly impossible task.

Insert personal training. These people are designed to understand your body for you, taking away any guess work you may have, while at the same time making sure you do the safest workout with the best results. Would you question a master chef about how to cook food or a doctor on how to check a pulse? Similarly, personal trainers are there for the benefit of the public to ensure you get

the confidence and look you desire. As long as you are honest with them about your habits — key word being honest — these personal trainers can map out a plan for you that will ben-efit you wholly. How?

There are many benefits to physical activity. The Mayo Clinic narrowed down the benefits into seven key sec-tions. First being exercise controls weight, second being exercise combats and controls health conditions and disease, third is exercise improves your mood, fourth is that exercise boosts your energy, fifth is that exer-cise promotes for better sleep, sixth is that exercise increases the enjoyment in your sex life and lastly exercise can be fun adding to overall enjoyment in your life. Of the seven things just mentioned, which one would you say harms your life or doesn’t improve it in any way, shape or form? After you get out of your argumentative mode, you will realize that the answer is none of them. Exercise simply improves the quality of your life.

So the next time, you are feeling down, or not confident, or that signifi-cant other is just in a bad and grumpy mood, tell yourself or your close one to go exercise. There are plenty of gyms in your surrounding area with qualified individuals that can get yourself or your close one started on the right path. All you got to do is get up!

EvergreenHealth hos-pital has recently intro-duced a new program to help patients determine their out-of-pocket costs for medical procedures.

Designed to help patients considering vari-ous options and provide stronger healthcare trans-parency, hospital officials have said the program has received positive feedback from patients who have used it since they first started using it in Decem-ber.

“Just in the few months that we’ve been offering this service to our pa-tients, we’ve been pleased by both the volume of inquiries by our patients, and by the positive impact it has on their care,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte in a release. “We’ve had patients tell us that amid the tumult as-sociated with any medical procedure, having clarity

around cost relieves them of the stress that many patients experience.”

They also say their estimates, so far, have matched that of actual out-of-pocket expenses patients end up paying.

Chrissy Yamada, EvergreenHealth’s chief financial officer, said the program is part of an overall trend for health-care systems providing greater transparency for patients in order to avoid unnecessary or unex-pected costs. One of those areas is out-of-pocket expenses, which is what a patient pays directly for procedures.

“This is all in the spirit of trying to be transpar-ent for health care costs and how much patients have to pay,” she said. “We started to think about how we could do it more transparently with a tool that provides actual out-of-pocket (costs), not what we charge.”

Yamada said that whereas before the hospital would have to have determine the costs manually, the program takes care of the calcula-tions for a procedure us-ing the patient’s insurance information, their to-date coinsurance and deduct-ible, as well as the hospital costs of the procedure, to determine what the pa-tient will pay themselves. Though it is estimate and does not account for unknown changes, such as complications be-fore, during, or after the procedure, Yamada said it allows patients be more aware when they make medical decisions.

“If everything goes ac-cording to how it should then the estimate is quite accurate,” she said.

Patients can obtain quotes by visiting the hospital’s website at www.evergreenhealth.com/es timate or by calling (425) 899-3632.

USA Football has an-nounced a multi-year partnership with Red-mond’s Physio-Control as a supporting sponsor of USA Football, its Heads Up Football and U.S. National Team pro-gram. Physio-Control’s LIFEPAK CR Plus is the official automated exter-nal defibrillator (AED) for USA Football and Heads Up Football.

Physio-Control will provide grants making AEDs available to youth and high school football programs. The partner-ship will be launched during the USA Football National Conference on Feb. 20-22 in Indianapo-lis.

Physio-Control devel-oped the prototype DC defibrillator for medical devices used by emer-gency medical services and hospitals worldwide. Physio-Control continues to set the standard for lifesaving tools inside

and out of hospitals, serving as the world leader in the develop-ment, manufacture, sale and service of AEDs.

USA Football’s Heads Up Football program is a comprehensive collection of resources and medi-cally approved protocols to create change and advance player safety when it comes to sud-den cardiac arrest, concussion awareness and recognition, heat and hydration, proper tackling and blocking fundamentals and equip-ment fitting. More than 5,500 youth leagues and 750 high schools in 2014 participated in the pro-gram, covering 150,000 coaches and nearly 1 mil-lion players.

The USA Football/Physio-Control health and safety grant program will award AED grants through an application process for youth and high school football pro-

grams. Physio-Control will donate six USA Foot-ball Complete Solution Packages and provide 40 AED Trainers for USA Football Master Trainers to demonstrate to league and school Player Safety Coaches.

“This partnership has the real potential to save lives on youth football fields when cardiac emergencies oc-cur,” said Brian Webster, president and CEO of Physio-Control. ”We’re excited to team with USA Football to help protect young athletes. Having LIFEPAK AEDs avail-able to coaches, parents and players will be an important part of ongo-ing safety programs in youth leagues and a great way to build awareness in communities about how to respond to sudden car-diac arrest.”

“Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sports fatalities among

youth and teenage ath-letes,” said USA Football Executive Director Scott Hallenbeck. “Through our Heads Up Football program and together with our valued partner Physio-Control, we are committed to providing education and resources that can save lives.”

The USA Football National Conference will include a session about sudden cardiac arrest featuring Dr. Jonathan Drezner, professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the Univer-sity of Washington, and Matt Nader, who sur-vived sudden cardiac arrest thanks to an AED that was donated to his high school’s football program. Representatives from Physio-Control will be in attendance to offer information about the program to youth football leaders gathered for the conference.

Legislative video testimony bill passes Senate

Legislation passed unani-mously by the Washington

state Senate would expand options for people to provide legislative testi-mony remotely. SB 5267, authored and sponsored by Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, and supported by Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman, would develop a system for Washingtonians to record video of themselves testify-ing using their phones, computers, webcams or any other video cameras and then upload the video to a legislative server where lawmakers could view the testimony.

“Most people are too busy with their day-to-day lives to come down and tes-tify. � ey have jobs, school, family or a disability that might prevent them from appearing in Olympia. But that doesn’t mean their voice shouldn’t be heard,” said Habib. “Professional lobbyists are here at the legislature every day, ready to testify on bills in com-mittee, but we represent our constituents and they should have an equal op-portunity to be heard, even if they’re unable to appear in person.”

� e proposed program would allow citizens to record testimony from any location at any time. Once the testimony is recorded and uploaded, the com-mittee chair could show the testimony in a commit-tee hearing or committee members could view it on their own at another time.

“In an era of YouTube and sel� es, where any-

one can post a video of anything at any time, why shouldn’t the same options be available for legislative testimony? We have the technology,” said Habib. “� is will make it easier for people to engage in the legislative process and I look forward to this policy being put into law and receiving these videos from my constituents with their thoughts on the issues we’re working on. Today’s unanimous vote in the Senate sends a strong message that legislators of both parties and across the state agree with this open government approach to legislative testimony and I have every expectation that the House of Representa-tives will, too.”

Sen. Andy Hill pushes WSDOT to improve tolling customer service

Since the state began tolling State Route 520 in late 2011, countless stories surfaced about drivers that received substantial � nes for unpaid tolls, that in many cases they did not re-ceive a bill for. A proposal by Sen. Andy Hill provides solutions for the Washing-ton State Department of Transportation to improve noti� cation and customer service, address technology gaps and establish a one-time toll penalty amnesty program.

“� ere are too many instances of drivers not be-ing noti� ed of the original toll or even the � nes for a variety of reasons beyond their control,” said Hill, who represents Kirkland. “� e system places the entire burden on drivers with only a narrow ap-peals process – this is not the standard of customer service we expect from our government. � e goal of WSDOT should be to en-sure drivers pay what they owe, but don’t get caught in bureaucratic red tape and face unnecessary � nes.”

Frequent news stories have highlighted com-munication gaps especially with changing addresses, vehicle registration and other administrative issues. Hill’s plan would require WSDOT to email drivers during the 80 days before an unpaid toll became a civil penalty and follow up

by phone with those that provide a contact number within � ve days prior to issuing a notice of civil penalty.

Hill’s measure would also address technology prob-lems by ensuring the De-partment of Licensing and WSDOT could seamlessly share updated customer records. Additionally WS-DOT would need to create a mobile phone application where drivers could man-age toll accounts. WSDOT customer service agents would also gain the author-ity to correct errors that led to drivers not receiving notice if the balance owed was less than $100.

The King County Housing Authority re-ceived more than 22,000 applications for Section 8 rental assistance during a two-week application pe-riod that closed Feb. 10.

The 22,615 families that submitted an applica-tion represent more than 50,100 individuals living in extreme poverty and unstable housing includ-ing nearly 22,000 children − 35 percent of whom are homeless. Of these, one out of every four children are in a household fleeing domestic violence.

In addition, 12,116 ap-plicants are seniors and people with disabilities and 906 applicants are veterans who have served in America’s armed forces.

“These numbers show that there is simply not enough affordable housing for low-income households in King County,” said Stephen Norman, executive direc-tor of the King County Housing Authority.

“The region is becom-ing too expensive for many folks already living

here − seniors whose monthly Social Secu-rity check is less than the cost of rent; families with children where low wages aren’t keeping up with rising rents; veterans struggling to find stable housing. A staggering 42 percent of the households who applied are home-less.”

A lottery will be held in March to determine which of the 22,615 fami-lies will be placed on the waiting list, which will be capped at 2,500 slots. The first applicants on the

list will be issued vouch-ers in April. Depending on federal funding, those at the tail end of the list could face a wait of four or more years to obtain a voucher.

The Section 8 Housing Choice voucher pro-gram targets low-income households most in need of housing in King County. Applicants must be homeless or about to become homeless, live in substandard housing or be spending more than 50 percent of their income on rent. A typical house-

hold in KCHA’s program has an average income of $14,200.

Currently, KCHA Sec-tion 8 program provides rental assistance to 11,300 families in King County. More than 3,200 land-lords participate in the program.

Generally the pro-gram pays the difference between the rent charged by a housing owner and the assisted household’s rental contribution, which is set at approximately 30 percent of the household’s income adjusted for fam-

ily size and utility costs.“Finding decent, af-

fordable housing in King County is a tremen-dous challenge for poor people,” Norman said. “For elderly and disabled individuals on fixed incomes, for low-wage families, decent housing is often beyond reach − and the most vulnerable members of our com-munity are increasingly being forced to choose between food, medicine or rent. More and more are going homeless.”

Demand for housing help in King County still strong
