STAFF REPORT

Since the Sammamish River fails to meet state clean-water standards for temperature and oxygen content, scientists from the Washington Department of Ecology will place a non-toxic pink- or rust-colored dye in the water for two days of testing on July 27-28.

Researchers will release the “Rhodamine” dye where the river � ows under Northeast Marymoor Way in Redmond at dusk on July 27 as part of a study to help solve the stream’s water-quality problems. � e dye will dissipate downstream and will not harm people, animals, � sh or plants. It may be used on other dates if needed.

“You needn’t worry if you see a slight pink or tan tint in the water,” said Ralph Svrjcek of Ecology’s water-quality program in a press release.

“� is dye is commonly

used for this type of scien-ti� c study,” added Svrjcek, who is coordinating the study. “Research has shown it has no e� ect at all on hu-man health or aquatic life at the very low concentrations we use.”

City works with equestrian community to make trails safer

Summer and early fall are busy seasons on Redmond’s 40 miles of trails. Hikers, bicyclists, dog walkers and horse riders are among the users who share the trails.

Recently, members of the local equestrian community reached out to the City of Redmond with suggestions for signage and educational material designed to inform the general public about how to interact with horses and their riders on city trails.

“We want everyone to have an enjoyable and safe experience on multi-use trails in Redmond,” said Mark Hickok, recreation division manager with the

City of Redmond. “And so we encourage all trail users to be responsible and considerate of others when biking, hiking or riding.”

According to information provided by the Lake Wash-ington Saddle Club, when approaching a horse on a trail, it is important to make yourself known; stop, stand and speak. Step to the side of the trail, remain visible and speak to the rider and horse in a friendly tone. The sound of your voice will help the horse understand that you are a human, not a predator.

Over the next two weeks, the city plans to install ad-ditional simple, visual signs designed to raise awareness about sharing the trails at Farrel-McWhirter Park and the Watershed Pre-serve. In addition, the city will be adding educational information with more details about trail etiquette to the park kiosks at both Farrel-McWhirter Park and the Redmond Watershed Preserve.

Ayron Jones and the Way kick off In Real Life Block Party

Ayron Jones and the Way will kick off the In Real Life Block Parties, a series of free block parties in differ-ent locations throughout downtown Redmond, on July 31.

In Real Life celebrates stepping away from tech-nology and enjoying real life experiences with our friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. The block parties are presented by the Redmond Moving Art Cen-ter and showcase premier northwest talent in the performing arts including blues, comedy and contem-porary music and dance.

The Blues In Real Life Block Party opens at 7 p.m. on July 31 in Downtown Park with a performance by Lady A. The Lady’s high-energy show has been compared to the likes of Tina Turner and Chaka

Khan. Ayron Jones and the Way take the stage at 8:30 p.m. The three-piece blues-rock band reinterprets that iconic Seattle rock sound with the raw energy of punk and the inner-city attitude of hip-hop.

Each block party is centered on the new Red-mond Moving Art Center. This sculpture by day, art center by night, is the latest artwork by Brooklyn-based artist Janet Zweig. Bring your picnic blankets and lawn chairs.

the river is too warm, the temperature can harm salmon, trout and other aquatic life, and decrease the oxygen-carrying capac-ity of the water.

Scientists will track the dye plume with a fluorom-eter — which detects the small amount of dye in the stream, even after it is no longer visible — and they will take measurements at

several downstream loca-tions.

A team of eight Ecol-ogy researchers will collect samples of river water and use electronic probes to gather data on the stream. They will collect informa-tion on temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen and nutri-ents in the Sammamish and its tributaries.

“These tests and samples will help us understand riv-er conditions and how long

water takes to travel down the river,” said Teizeen Mohamedali, an envi-ronmental engineer with Ecology’s Environmental Assessment Program, in the press release. “The informa-tion will help calibrate and validate a water-quality computer model that we will use to analyze tempera-ture and dissolved oxygen during critical summer conditions.”

In favor of propositions to keep neighborhoods, parks and trails safe and beautiful

I am the mother of three boys and love rais-ing my children in Redmond. We spend long a� ernoons in our favorite parks and many hours on the trails and sports � elds. I care about living in a walkable neighborhood as well as the parks and trails staying safe and beautiful which is why I am voting “yes” to propositions 1 and 2 on the upcoming levy.

Proposition 2 raises needed funds that directly impact the parks and trails we use on a daily basis. � e plan includes renovation and expan-sion of the Idylwood parking lot and the replace-ment of the concession and restroom building. Idylwood is a much loved and popular park in our community and anyone who visits that park on a sunny day is familiar with the overcrowded parking situation. Anyone who visits with a toddler is familiar with the unpleasant restroom situation. Both of them are long overdo for an overhaul.

Proposition 2 includes upgrades to other popular parks including Grass Lawn, Per-rigo and Farrel-McWhirter Farm Park as well as smaller neighborhood parks. It would also increase sta� in the parks during peak hours, helping to ensure garbages are not over� owing, restrooms are clean and sta� is on site to assist citizens if needed.

Proposition 1 will improve pedestrian safety by replacing broken sidewalks, curbs and gut-ters, making crosswalks more visible and adding missing sidewalks near school zones. I love walking my children to and from school. I consider it my little gi� to the teacher that my kids get a 15-minute walk or eight-minute dead sprint and some fresh air before they arrive at the classroom. Living in a walkable neighbor-hood contributes greatly to our quality of life in Redmond.

Our walkable neighborhoods and our amaz-ing parks and trails make Redmond such a unique and wonderful place to live. Please support keeping them well maintained, safe and beautiful and vote “yes” to propositions 1 and 2.Lara LockwoodRedmond

Six reasons for voting ‘no’ on propositions 1 and 2

I think it is important to send a message to the Redmond City Council that we need to consider existing residents and safety before engaging in large-scale spending associated with new development.

� e City of Redmond has directed a large amount of capital in areas that are close in proximity and appear to bene� t areas of new development. While requiring maintenance of existing infrastructure, police and � re depart-ment improvements are to be funded by raising taxes on existing residents.

In the past few years, the City of Redmond has directed:

1. Almost $9 million improving Cleveland Street in front of the newly developed apart-ments. � at is the major improvement on Cleve-land Street and without a doubt, it is the highest end section of road in the entire Eastside. Who bene� ts that most from that improvement? � e developers, owners and residents of those apart-ments.

2. Almost $5 million building a sidewalk behind those same newly developed apartments to link them to town center. � at sidewalk was built even before the apartment complex was completed. Who bene� ts that most from that improvement? � e developers, owners and resi-dents of those apartments.

3. Almost $2 million improving sidewalks behind the post o� ce. Who bene� ts that most from that improvement? I have no idea, I rarely see anyone walking on them.

4. Almost $9 million improving 116th Street to accommodate the new development. If you happen to drive along 116th, you will see notice a higher-end road development with the widest and nicest curved sidewalks in all of Redmond (except for the sidewalks behind the new devel-opment on Cleveland Street). Who bene� ts most from those improvements? � e developers and owners of those properties.

5. Almost $15 million improving wastewater management required for the new development in downtown Redmond. I am not sure if this is a loan, but I hope so. When I built my house on Education Hill in 1994, I was presented with a bill twice a year because by building a new house, I increased wastewater needs of the area and I had to pay for that.

6. Almost $1 million improving a crosswalk on 51st near 520. How can improving a single crosswalk cost $1 million?

We seem to have money for these items (I am sure there are more), which seem to be bene� t-ing new development in Redmond, but when it comes time for “important” items for the people who have lived here, paid taxes and built the city, we don’t have the money and need to raise taxes on the existing residents. An argument could be made that new development is requiring existing residents to pay higher taxes to maintain existing levels of lifestyle. Now, City Council wants to spend a whole bunch more money turning our one-way streets into two-way streets. Who is that going to bene� t?

We already have a levy from 2007 that was supposed to be used for police, � re and park improvements that was required because of growth. � e increase in police and � re support (in terms of head count) is very marginal. What is being done with that money? We have several new parks downtown near new development, but we don’t have the money to � x up parks in established neighborhoods.

� e City Council is telling us we need these important things. Well, if they are important, why are they not � rst in the budget? Why does

adequate police and � re coverage rank behind a sidewalk behind new apartments?

� e danger in the manner in which City Council is approaching providing residents with � re and police coverage, is that the residents of Redmond can say “no.” Wouldn’t that be nice? We have a wonderful new Cleveland Street and a sidewalk surrounding the new development, but it isn’t safe to walk on at night and heaven forbid if there is a � re.

It’s time to tell City Council: put priorities � rst; “nice to have” second; make development pay for itself; look a� er existing residents � rst and stop asking existing residents to pay more money to maintain infrastructure, police and � re coverage at existing levels.Brent SchmaltzRedmond

Propositions 1 and 2: The choice is yours

Until Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m., you have the opportunity to vote on two Redmond levies that support maintenance and enhancements to parks, public safety and the infrastructure that makes our city function on a daily basis.

I have read numerous letters of support in the Redmond Reporter and to me this is strong validation that our city is delivering value to our community and that voters want to support the additional services provided by the levies proposed on the Aug. 4 ballot. � ese additional services will continue to make Redmond a great place to live, work and play.

As a City Council member and chair of the Public Administration & Finance Committee, I take great pride in knowing that our city is well run both � scally and operationally. Redmond has built an impressive record of regional, state and national awards over the past several years. � is recognition demonstrates that we are mak-ing good decisions and solid investments to ensure that Redmond remains one of the best run cities in the state.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you. In 2007, the voters of Redmond stepped up to commit funding for parks, safety and infrastructure. Since then, the purchasing power of those funds as declined. So it’s time for you to decide. Do you want to trim and cut city services and amenities? Or, do you want to fund and invest in Redmond to keep our city on a trajectory of delivering great value to its citizens, and sustaining Red-mond as a community that is the envy of the

region and a place you are proud to call “home”?

I plan to vote “yes” on Redmond propositions 1 and 2 and I hope you join me.

If you would like to discuss the levies in more detail, please stop by to visit with me during my weekly coffee hour from 3-4 p.m. Tuesdays at Soul Food Books.John StilinCity of Redmond Council member

Redmond residents are already over-taxed

Vote “no” on Redmond propositions 1 and 2. Ask-ing the already over-taxed residents to support a prop-erty tax increase to enhance public safety is a violation of public trust and decency.

Public safety has priority over all other needs, leaving levy votes for optional en-hancements. Public safety is a given and not subject to levy votes. For almost eight years, Mayor Marchione has touted the merits and wonders of Budgeting by Priorities, which should have resulted in a budget that “lives within its means.” Budgeting by Priorities has failed as well as costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting fees and city staff time.

In addition, the City of Redmond informa-tional piece (looked like a campaign brochure to me) on the propositions sent a couple of weeks ago states that the levy rate would only increase from $1.49 to $1.84 per $1,000 of assessed valuation or 0.35 percent. Looks small, but that is a 23.5 percent increase on top of the current rate. Taxes tend to be cumulative and build up fast — just look at your through-the-roof residential water and wastewater bill. These rates, as compared to eight years ago, are up an estimated 27 percent. So don’t be fooled by little numbers. They grow into big numbers very quickly.

In summary, Mayor Mar-chione is putting our public safety (neighborhoods, seniors and school resource to name a few) in jeopardy to make up for his failure to manage city resources. Redmond, given all the massive and ugly develop-ment projects and more extremely well-paying jobs than residents is simply a

boom town by any standard with plenty of money to meet current needs. Vote “no” and send the mayor back to get it right — put public safety first and leave the extras for a levy vote.Jim RobinsonRedmond City Council, 1992-2007

Your opinion counts with props

I would like to take this opportunity to correct a misrepresentation about King County property taxes. In a recent letter to the editor, a correspondent stated “keep in mind prop-erty values have increased significantly in the last year so local governments have revenue cushions.”

Nothing could be farther from the truth. When voters approve levies, they authorize the total amount of property taxes that a ju-risdiction can collect from property owners. Increas-ing property values do not increase the total amount of taxes that a jurisdiction, like Redmond, can collect. Increasing property values only causes a recalculation of the levy rate, which is the ratio of total taxes to be collected divided by total assessed value of all prop-erty in the city. In times of increasing property values, the property levy rate actu-ally decreases.

While it is true that changing property values may reallocate taxes col-lected between individual property owners, the total amount of property tax col-lected by the city remains unchanged.

Unfortunately for cities, while the amount of prop-erty tax collected remains constant, the cost of city services increase in propor-tion to the rate of inflation. In that scenario, each year the dollars collected from a stable property tax purchase less and less of the goods and services necessary to maintain the services pro-vided by the city.

This simple fact of how King County property taxes are levied, calculated and collected is one of the reasons why the proponents of propositions 1 and 2 urge you to say “yes.”Pat VachéRedmond

Former Redmond mayor voting ‘no’ on propositions

As a former mayor who

cares greatly about public safety, parks and open space and our transportation options such as sidewalks for getting around Red-mond, I never thought I’d have to take a position that could be construed as being against them. What I am against is unwarranted and irresponsible tax increases: Proposition 1 and Proposi-tion 2. Basics like public safety and transportation maintenance should be funded first. Why aren’t our substantial, increasing tax resources sufficient to cover such priorities? Because our current city leaders have been spending in the wrong ways, the wrong places.

This is an opinion that I can support with a good degree of expertise. During my 16-year tenure as mayor, 1992-2007, I formulated every budget with a commitment to the residents of Redmond and their top priorities first — being safe in their homes, walking around Redmond and enjoying our parks and open spaces. My first choice as mayor and now as a resident of Redmond is for those services and facilities to be paid as a top priority and from existing revenue.

While my knowledge of city operations and finances is extensive as a result of

my many years in office, I have been challenged to decipher the latest informa-tion that average taxpayers are expected to base their decisions on. I find that it’s more bureaucratic rhetoric than financial substance with clarity. If you attended the two open houses on the levies as I did, you likely en-countered lots of “spin” but no specifics about actual costs. It was like looking at a restaurant menu with lots of choices but no prices!

The mayor and the council should not put citizens’ top priorities of personal safety and cher-ished parks on tax-raising levies instead of funding these with existing and suf-ficient revenue sources. The choice to take these forward as ballot measures may be “strategic” for politicians, but it looks much more like “bait and switch” to me! Could it be that your elected officials have been spending your city dedi-cated taxpayer dollars on the wrong things and in ways inconsistent with most citizens’ priorities?

You be the judge. Given a chance, how would you have voted (had you been asked) on the $24 million already spent by the mayor and council on the down-town park and the $12.5

million approved just last December to develop the park for a total of $36.5 million? Why isn’t the new downtown development footing the bill for the amenity that it seems to benefit most by? And how can the city leaders find a total of $36.5 million for a downtown park but cannot find the $2.4 million they are now asking us for to develop two small neigh-borhood parks on land that was purchased more than nine years ago when I was in office and to update longtime Westside Park?

How would you have voted (had you been asked) on the city’s contributions of more than $800,000 to OneRedmond, an eco-nomic development orga-nization that continues to create more gridlock, more demand on services and faster deterioration of our roads? Is that how residents prioritized having their money spent? If so, that is a complete turnaround in the eight years since I retired from office.

Although the city has done citizen surveys, the mayor and council fail to recognize and acknowl-edge the residents’ growing dissatisfaction with their performance with regard to impacts of rampant growth,

everyday gridlock and com-munication without real engagement with residents. Perhaps they are not asking the right questions, or per-haps they are not listening.

Bonds and levies are mechanisms that should be used for the extra things we want, not basic safety, ser-vices and maintenance. If “money is tight,” it’s because of unwise spending choices not insufficient revenue.

It’s time for a wakeup call for the mayor and the council. Vote “no” on both Proposition 1 and Proposi-tion 2! In fact, it’s time to think about who we elect to make the important deci-sions on our behalf.Rosemarie Ives Mayor of Redmond, 1992-2007

Hoping fellow citizens will vote ‘yes’ on propositions

I voted “yes” on Red-mond propositions 1 and 2 and hope my fellow Redmond citizens will do the same.

Passage of these two measures is essential to helping Redmond maintain its current character as a

SAMANTHA PAK

[email protected]

For 20 years, Dale � omp-son had a wood shop at his home.

Over the years, he col-lected his own set of tools and while he and his wife of 50 years were living in San Francisco in the 1990s, he joined a large woodcra� ing group and built bookshelves and other items a growing family would need. � is was a� er leaving a 30-year career in engineering at Chevron.

Now, as a resident of the

Emerald Heights in Red-mond, � ompson no longer has his own woodwork-ing shop, but that has not stopped him from working.

Shortly a� er he came to live there about a year and a half ago, he discovered the retirement community’s woodworking shop and saw it as an opportunity to keep up his skills.

� ompson invited some of his fellow Emerald Heights residents to join him at the shop and together, they have formed the Wooden Toys for Charity group. “In this group, residents

use saws, sanders and other hand tools to create beautiful and unique toys to bene� t local organizations,” he said.

� ose organizations include YWCA, Habitat for Humanity’s thri� shop, Se-attle’s Union Gospel Mission (SUGM), Ronald McDonald House and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

“� e wooden toys were works of art that cater to a child’s imagination,” said Scott Swansen, major gi� s o� cer for Gi� In-Kind Op-erations at SUGM.

He said the Wooden Toys group made beautiful “old school” wooden toys for the children at SUGM’s shelter Hope Place.

“In an age of electronics and gadgetry, it was a bless-ing to receive these wonder-ful handmade toys for the children in our shelter,” he said.

Since 2014, � ompson said the Wooden Toys group has made more than 200 items that have been donated to these organizations.

“We expect to more than double that number this year,” he said.

� ose items range from wooden cars and trucks, to boats and planes, to various wooden animals — includ-ing an articulated dinosaur, which � ompson said is a new addition to their reper-toire. � e group also creates

sets of about 50 rectangular wooden blocks.

“I am a great fan of blocks because they require imagination to see them as spaceships, cows or books,” � ompson said. “And their batteries never go dead.”

With the block sets, he said a cra� s group at Emerald Heights has been supporting them by creating cloth draw-string bags for each set.

In addition to the toys, the Wooden Toys group also has made handheld mirrors and keepsake boxes.

� ompson came by wood-working through his father. He said growing up, their house was full of tools and his father had the skills and a yearning to learn, which was passed down to � ompson as he quickly began to learn the cra� of woodworking.

“If my dad had the time

and knowledge to make or � x something himself, he would do it,” he said. “So I learned as a kid that if you want something painted you go out, get some paint and paint it yourself.”

� ompson began mak-ing wooden toys in the early 1990s. A� er 20 years of working and creating with his hands, he sees the Wooden Toys group as a mu-tually bene� cial opportunity for all of those involved.

“When you retire, a lot of people miss the rush and thrill of working every day, and being a part of this group is a win-win situa-tion,” � ompson said. “� e children receive something that they can enjoy, play with and share, and we feel reward for giving them that and sharing our cra� with the community.”

Wooden Toys for Charity group on a roll at Emerald Heights

safe, livable city with wonderful parks and green space amid a period of rap-id growth. As a volunteer member (and current vice chairman) of the Redmond

Parks & Trails Commission, I have gained a � rsthand view of the � scal prudence of the city government. I have seen the list of impor-tant park projects that can-not move forward based on lack of available funding to provide public recreational space to underserved areas of the community.

Passage of the ballot propositions will help move some of these projects for-ward as well fund impor-tant maintenance programs. I live in the Grass Lawn Park neighborhood and see its tremendous daily usage and high value to the com-munity. Places like Grass Lawn Park, Anderson Park, Perrigo Park and Farrel-McWhirter Farm Park make Redmond the place we want to live.

Please join me in sup-porting Redmond proposi-tions 1 and 2 to preserve and extend our parks and to provide funding for important infrastructure, transportation, � re, police and safety programs.Aaron KnopfRedmond

R E D M O N D -

A� er � ve years, the 17-year-old reached the rank of cadet commander, overseeing all of the cadets in the OCS program. In addition, Wienke also re-ceived the Gen. Ira C. Eaker Award, which less than 2 percent of CAP cadets nationwide have received since it was created in 1995. Wienke received the award about a month ago and is the 2,885th CAP cadet to receive the award. � ere are about 25,000 CAP cadets nationwide, who range from ages 12-21.

Wienke, who just gradu-ated from Raisbeck Aviation High School in Tukwila, said the Eaker Award is the second-to-last promotion award a cadet can receive. According to the CAP web-site, Eaker Award recipients must receive all the prereq-uisite awards leading up to the Eaker Award, write a 300-500 word essay, present a � ve- to seven-minute speech to the unit on one of three pre-determined topics to be evaluated by a senior CAP member. Candidates for the award must also participate in a character-development forum, one of a number of pre-selected CAP activities and pass a � tness test.

For his pre-selected CAP activity, Wienke attended the CAP Cadet O� cer School last summer. � e school is located at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

“It’s well worth it,” he said about the experience.

During that time, Wienke said he learned a lot about how to lead others strategi-cally, how to delegate and more.

Wienke said it’s been a good feeling to make it as far as he has and to receive the Eaker Award a� er all of the hard work he has put in during the last � ve years. As a cadet in his earlier years, he said he always looked up to the other lieutenant colo-nels in the cadet program

and now he has been in that position for others to look up to him.

Maj. Mike Holliday, pub-lic a� airs o� cer for OCS, remembers when Wienke joined OCS.

“He had super-long hair when he showed up,” Hol-liday said.

He described Wienke in those early days of OCS as real shy. But over the years Holliday said he has seen the teen become “a really outstanding young man” and an enthusiastic and high-achieving cadet, par-ticipating in various CAP activities on a national level such as the cadet o� cer school.

When Wienke took over as cadet commander, Hol-liday said he knew there would be no need for him to micromanage because the cadets would be in good hands.

“He was so organized,” Holliday said.

Over the years, Hol-liday has enjoyed Wienke’s growing leadership. He said Wienke has created such a positive environment for the cadets as well as the OCS sta� . Holliday said Wienke is good at motivating others to do their best.

And while Wienke said receiving the Eaker Award has been great, it has been his entire experience with CAP and OCS that has stuck out for him.

Over the years, he said he has made some really close friends and has learned skills that will transfer when he attends Arizona State University come fall, where he plans to study business and entrepreneurship. He does not plan to join the military or become a pilot — as some young people who join the CAP do — but Wienke said skills he’s devel-oped such as working with di� erent types of people and marketing himself will still help him in the future.

“� ose will be super ben-e� cial,” Wienke said.

[ WIENKE from page 1]

for Station 11 in down-town, which was also serv-ing north Redmond, by 22 percent and more than 200 percent for the area now served by Station 17.

Gibson said Proposition 1 will help RFD maintain those 18 positions funded by the 2007 measure.

GETTING AHEAD OF TRENDSIn addition to main-

taining current levels of service, Gibson said RPD is also asking voters to sup-port the department hiring � ve more employees.

Two of those employees would be neighborhood resource o� cers (NROs), bringing the city’s total to four. Gibson said these o� cers would focus on neighborhood problem solving. By adding two more NROs, he said the o� cers would be able to spread out more through-out the city and it would give the city the capac-ity for a part-time bicycle patrol in downtown during the summer.

Proposition 1 would also pay for two more o� cers to focus on property crime investigating.

In a letter to the editor opposing the city’s levy measures last week, Red-mond resident Bob Yoder said he does not see the need for this.

“Personally, I don’t see a signi� cant rise in property crime in my neighbor-

hood,” he wrote.To this point, Gibson

said since 2012, there has been a 25 percent increase in property crime through-out King County.

“� at trend is continu-ing in 2015,” he said.

He added that in 2013, Washington had the high-est property crime rate in the country. � e proposed two new o� cers would help RPD keep up with this, Gibson said.

And � nally, the � � h new employee would be a full-time evidence techni-cian. Gibson pointed out that as property increases, the amount of evidence to process increases as well. Currently, RPD only has one full-time technician, making things di� cult if that employee is out sick or goes on vacation.

Gibson said police are responsible for the property they take in as evidence and they need to make sure they are being held accountable for it, adding that with an ad-ditional technician, they would be able to process items and return them to people more quickly.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

For neighborhood infrastructure safety and walkability, Proposition 1 will focus on a number of things.

Linda De Boldt, public works director for the City of Redmond, said part

of the proposal includes asphalt and pavement maintenance. � rough this program, she said the city would identify streets throughout the city to do asphalt overlay projects.

In his letter, Yoder also said he does not see the roads in his neighbor-hood deteriorating that would “justify such a large increase in (his) tax bill.”

“You don’t always see the deterioration,” De Boldt acknowledged, adding that when addressing deterio-rating pavement, waiting until there is signi� cant damage is more costly as it typically means complete reconstruction.

“� e cost is about 10 times higher,” she said comparing it to an overlay.

De Boldt said pavement usually has a lifespan of about 20-25 years, depend-ing on the type of tra� c it sees. It is ideal to do overlays once the pave-ment reaches 10-15 years, but again, this depends on the type of tra� c it gets.

“It’s preventative mainte-nance,” De Boldt explained.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETYIn addition to the

asphalt and pavement maintenance work, Propo-sition 1 will also address pedestrian safety through-out the city.

De Boldt said more people are walking around town and a� er doing a lot of work on vehicular safety, the city needs to make sure

other users are safe, as well.“Multi-modal is becom-

ing much more of the norm,” she said.

One of the main projects Proposition 1 would focus on is installing sidewalks in and around school zones to make sure kids walking to and from school are safe.

In a letter to the editor this week, Redmond resident Lara Lockwood explains she is supporting Proposition 1 because it will improve pedestrian safety.

“I love walking my chil-dren to and from school,” she said. “I consider it my little gi� to the teacher that my kids get a 15-minute walk or eight-minute dead sprint and some fresh air before they arrive at the classroom. Living in a walkable neighborhood contributes greatly to our quality of life in Red-mond.”

Work on these sidewalks as well as existing side-walks would also include making sure the curb ramps are up to Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act standards.

De Boldt said the measure would also pro-vide funds for the city to improve crosswalk safety, which could include speed radar signs and � ashing beacons. In addition, they could make improve-ments on current markings crosswalks, making them clearer for all to see.

Wednesday evening was a night of 1990s and 2000s nostalgia as Dashboard Con-fessional and � ird Eye Blind took the stage at Marymoor Park in unincorporated King County near Redmond.

� e two bands were the latest installment in the

Marymoor Park concert series this summer.

First up, following opener Ex Cops, was Dashboard Confessional.

� e band, who are originally from Boca Raton, Fla., performed songs from their various studio albums. From their 2000 debut “� e Swiss Army Romance,” to their most recent “Alter � e

Ending,” which was released in 2009, frontman Chris Carrabba and his fellow bandmates stuck to the crowd pleasers — especially those songs from their early days such as “� e Sharp Hint of New Tears,” “� e Best Deceptions” and “Saints and Sailors” — that had the crowd singing along.

Whether crooning about betrayals and broken hearts or the rush of falling in love, Dashboard reminded the crowd that it was OK to feel and be emotional. Not surprising as the band was on the forefront of the “emo” movement in the early 2000s that served as the soundtrack to many late Generation Xers’ and early Millennials’ lives.

At one point, he invited his

cousin, Shawn Zorn, on stage and the two performed a song by their folk band Twin Forks. Carrabba stuck to the guitar and Zorn banged away on the drum as the crowd clapped along.

Dashboard ended their set with “Hands Down,” a partic-ular fan favorite. Carrabba told the crowd that Wednesday was one of the best days they had ever had — a reference to the song’s lyrics — and if the

crowd’s singing along was any indication, they agreed with the sentiment.

If Dashboard had the crowd reminiscing about their early loves and post-adolescent angst, Third Eye Blind got them to rock out.

The San Francisco-based band opened with “Graduate” from their debut, self-titled album. The song set the tone of the band’s set as it got the crowd on their feet.

Third Eye Blind performed other songs from that first album such as “How’s it Going to Be” and “Jumper” as well as numbers from their subse-quent releases. In addition, they played songs from their newest album, “Dopamine,” which was released on June 16.

They performed “Every-thing is Easy,” the first single from the new album. During the performance, as well as throughout the entire set,

singer Stephan Jenkins’ danc-ing on stage — which included some impressive somersault-ing — kept the energy levels in the audience high. Third Eye Blind also performed “Dopamine,” the title track off the new album.

At one point, all members of the band except for drum-mer Brad Hargreaves left the stage while Hargreaves performed an impressive solo drum set that included

a mini pad, sampling rapper Jay-Z. Not exactly what you’d expect at a rock concert, but Hargreaves’ solo was a great crowd pleaser.

Closing out the night, following the crowd demand-ing an encore, was “Semi-Charmed Life,” the band’s first hit single from their debut album. Despite the song’s high-tempo lyrics, the crowd sang right along with Jenkins, all the way to their cars.

Sleep Country holds School

Supply Drive for Foster Kids

� e � rst day of school inspires a variety of emo-tions for children and their families — excitement, anticipation and even nervousness. � is is espe-cially true for the North-west’s nearly 20,000 foster children who are o� en entering a new home with a new family and starting at a new school with unfamiliar teachers and peers.

To help ease � rst-day jitters and to ensure foster kids are set up for a suc-

cessful school year, Sleep Country — which has a Redmond location at 16760 Redmond Way — is host-ing its annual School Sup-ply Drive for Foster Kids now through Sept. 6.

“We believe kids should be excited for the start of a new school year as they look forward to learning new things, seeing old friends and making new ones. For many foster children, however, their worries about � tting in and keeping up overtake the excitement of the � rst day back to school,” said Gina Davis, vice president of branding at Sleep Country. “Our community can help make sure foster kids have the tools they need to keep up with their peers in the classroom by making a

simple donation of essential school supply items to this drive. It’s a donation for the � rst day of school and for their ongoing educational success.”

What do foster children need most? � e most frequently requested items from Sleep Country’s non-pro� t foster organization partners are backpacks, three-ring binders, packs of pens and pencils, � ash drives, multi-subject note-books and loose leaf paper.

How can the community give back? Sleep Country will be collecting new school supplies at every store location. Addition-ally, community members and businesses can host their own drive at work, school, church or among friends and family, using the needed tools at www.sleepcountryfosterkids.org.

And those who don’t have time to shop can make a donation online and Sleep Country representatives

will buy school supplies on their behalf. All donations will be distributed through Sleep Country’s nonpro� t partner organizations in the Northwest. Use the store locator at www.sleepcountry.com.

RACHEL LEE

Special to the Reporter

A native of the Ital-ian island Sardinia — the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea that features a 1,149 miles-long coastline — chef Fabrizio Loi is the co-owner of the recently opened restaurant, Blu Sardinia. An Italian eatery highlighting Sardin-ian cuisine, Blu Sardinia is located at 8862 161st Ave. N.E. next to the Bella Bottega Shopping Center in Redmond.

Blu Sardinia is not Loi’s � rst experience with the restaurant industry, as he is already the owner of Ris-torante Paradiso, an Italian restaurant located in down-town Kirkland celebrating its 25-year anniversary this year, as well as a restaurant in Sardinia.

Loi’s career in the culi-nary arts began at age 14, with his decision to attend a cooking school on the northern end of Sardinia, a three-hour drive from his home, for the next three years.

“I wanted to become a chef. I knew what I wanted to do,” Loi eagerly explained, recounting his 14-year-old self ’s mindset.

� e Sardinian cuisine, Loi explains, “Even though it is not very sophisticated, it is very authentic.” � e distinguishing factor of Sardinian cuisine from the other Italian cuisine is that the main ingredient is maintained and that the dish is kept minimalistic, not changing the “� avors that the (ingredient) natu-rally has.”

Loi labels Sardinian cui-sine as the “less elaborated,

simpler side” of Italian cuisine that is highlighted by its rustic elements. In addition to the simplicity of the dishes, Sardinian cuisine also heavily utilizes Pecorino cheese — a type of cheese made from sheep-milk of which Sardinia is the leading producer in the world — vegetables, and fo-cuses “more (on) meat than seafood, (especially) lamb and pork,” although one might expect seafood to be the highlight of Sardinian cuisine.

Sardinia is also one of world’s � ve Blue Zones, geographic areas in which people enjoy longer lives, and Loi attributes Sardinia’s longevity to the “quality of food and the quality of life-style” unique to the island. Sardinian cuisine, with its

emphasis on fresh, simple ingredients, includes the Sardinian Cannonau wine, which contains an amount of “an anti-aging chemi-cal... three to four times higher than in any other red wine,” and the Pecorino cheese, cheese made from grass-fed sheep with “as much omega-3 as salmon,” Loi proudly revealed.

Laid-back lifestyle and the positive mentality are also valued and nurtured by the residents in Sar-dinia’s small and intimate villages, who are “always looking towards tomorrow,” Loi said, and cultivate their friendships and families. With a smile on his face, Loi portrayed his native is-land as a place where “your thoughts and opinions are valued and appreciated.”

When asked to describe his favorite Sardinian dish, Loi chose culurgiones, a dish that he explains “makes me feel at home more than anything else.” Culurgiones features little ravioli-like pasta � lled with cheese and potatoes, which are then folded into half-moon shapes and served with fresh tomato sauce, basil and mint. He describes culurgiones as a “very minimalistic” and comforting dish, and the � rst thing he � nds on the table when he returns home to visit his mom.

Opening a restaurant focusing on Sardinian cui-sine, Loi explained, has al-ways been a dream for him, especially in the United States, a host to some the world’s best Italian chefs.

Loi described how he has always lamented that people “never hear about Sardinia” and its cuisine. For him, opening Blu Sardinia has become “an opportunity for (him) to display (the Sardinian) food and culture.” Blu Sardinia is a mélange of both Sardinian cuisine that emphasizes on simple and rustic authenticity and the

traditional Italian cuisine. As for his reasons for

choosing Redmond as the location for his new res-taurant, Loi responded that he prefers the way of living on the Eastside, where the lifestyle is more relaxed and family-oriented, reminis-cent of the intimate setting in Sardinia that he is famil-iar with.

In addition, Loi ex-plained how he feels personally connected to the Redmond community due to his children’s soccer activities revolving around the city, and that he has “learned Redmond (and) who lives in Redmond.” As a resident of Kirkland, Loi also explained that Red-mond was an ideal location

due to its proximity to his home.

Loi explained that the Redmond community has been welcoming to him and his new restaurant, laughingly recounting how surprised he was when a longtime Redmond resident told him that he would “bring in all of his neighbors and friends” to introduce them to the restaurant and followed through with his words by celebrating his birthday at Blu Sardinia.

From the blue light � x-tures, blue seats, to the blue tile work, the color blue is accented throughout the interior of the restaurant.

Loi brings a taste of Sardinia to Redmond restaurant

“I have been a long time resident of Redmond who at one time or another has been a member of almost every gym in the area. I went to Koko FitClub only to try it with a friend and quickly became addicted. I was pleasantly surprised at the results I achieved that I had been unsuccessful at attaining at previous gyms. The program is easy to follow and for the � rst time I have stuck to it consistently. I don’t have to think about it, I just get myself there and follow the computer screen. I’m in the club for 45 mins to an hour with an ef� cient workout. I have gained strength and muscle where my body had long ago forgotten.”

We Change Lives

“Blue is the color of Sardinia,” Loi explained. As he pointed to the large painting of Sardinia that hung on the back wall of the dining room, he de-scribed the Sardinian blue as a “type of blue that you don’t see o� en.” It is a shade of blue that captures the vibrant hue of the Mediter-ranean Sea and a color that

also represents Sardinia’s Blue Zone lifestyle.

Loi’s hope as a chef is to “bring a little comfort, a new way, (and) a new breeze” into Redmond through his restaurant and provide its residents with a “place that welcomes you for whatever it is that you want, (whether it be) for a dinner, gelato or an espresso to catch up with

your friends.” With the motto “Eat

well, live well,” Blu Sardinia is a restaurant seeking to introduce the simple and authentic Sardinian cuisine and Sardinia’s inviting and relaxed lifestyle into the Redmond community.

Rachel Lee is an incoming senior at � e Overlake School in Redmond.

Domestic ServicesChild Care Offered

Anny’s Daycare.My name is Anny, I am a mother of two beautiful children, ages eight and five, I live on a very con- venient location in Red- mond on 148th near Mi- c roso f t campus and Grass Lawn Park. My philosophy of the child care is for the parents who work full time jobs and looking for a safe, loving and interesting environment for their kids. I take ages three and up, but two and half are welcome too. Hours of operation are 7:00 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday five days a week. I provide full week, Half week, Full day, Half day, After school and drop in care. My daycare have a huge backyard for the kids to play and explore nature. I personally am a nature lover so I prefer children to learn about environment, birds, trees and flowers and I believe if we teach children to love nature they grow up to be kind and loving. I am a very good book reader for little children and they enjoy the way I read books to them. I do different creative crafts with the kids where their involvement is appreciat- ed. I am also bilingual and I can speak Urdu, Hindi and English very well. (425)753-9019
