Eyman continues legal fight against the city despite court rulingBILL CHRISTIANSON

[email protected]

Tim Eyman is not backing down in his legal fight against the City of Redmond, despite last week’s state Supreme Court ruling that stated local voters don’t have the right to ban red-light cameras.

Eyman said he has no plans of withdrawing his appeal with Division 1 of the Washington Court of Appeals, which Eyman hopes will reverse a county court decision that blocked Redmond’s citizen-driven initiative to ban traffic-enforcement cameras through a vote of the people.

But if Redmond City Council approves an upcoming recommended joint plan by the Redmond police and public works departments, there will be no traffic-enforcement cameras to ban.

Eyman, a Mukilteo resident and state initiative advo-cate, has organized many anti-traffic-ticketing-camera petitions across the state that have caused legal battles in

several cities, including Redmond. Redmond’s petition effort began

in early 2011, but was halted last Oc-tober when a King County Superior Court judge tossed out a lawsuit that Eyman filed over the city’s refusal to hand the petition over to King County elections for verification.

“We are arguing in Redmond that the signatures should have been counted,” Eyman said. “The lawsuit

and appeal will continue. It is an important principal that we continue this fight.”

NEW pLAN: No SpEED CAMERAS The recommended long-range, comprehensive traffic

safety plan will be presented to the City Council’s public safety committee at its monthly meeting March 27 and “we are not recommending speed cameras in school zones as we move forward,” according to Redmond Police Chief Ron Gibson.

Instead, the school-zone traffic safety plan recom-mends using speed indicator signs — which flash the speed of oncoming vehicles, along with flash beacons at crosswalks, Gibson said. The plan will also include increased public education efforts and targeted enforce-ment, Gibson said.

Gibson said there are still a lot of questions con-cerning funding of the recommended plan and the timeline for a City Council vote on the issue is still to be determined.

“This is just the start of the process of informing Council of our plans and wish list,” Gibson said.

The city’s red-light program — the use of traffic-tick-eting cameras at intersections — ended Jan. 31 of this year after City Council unanimously voted last Novem-ber to end its contract with camera vendor American Traffic Solutions (ATS). Council members said the cameras did not conclusively have an impact on safety, based on collision data. However, the Council decided to keep two speed cameras near Einstein Elementary through the end of the school year.

Last Friday, Hayden Wong arrived at Faith Lutheran School in Redmond ready to learn just like any other school day.

But rather than an education in reading, writing and arithmetic, the 8-year-old spent the day learning about what it takes to be a school principal. From greeting students and parents first thing in the morning and collecting classroom attendance sheets to conducting a fire drill and giving school tours to potential students’ families, Hayden gained firsthand experience in what it takes to run a school. And while there was a lot to do, he was not surprised.

“I really expected it to be kind of busy,” the third grader said, adding that he’d watched a video of last year’s student principal.

The Principal for a Day experience has been an annual tradition at the school for about 15 years and comes from Faith Lutheran’s annual auction, which helps pay for programs at the school including special arts, music and physical education classes that bring instructors from outside the school that go beyond tuition-covered teacher salary.

This year’s auction will be March 23 at the Redmond Marriott Town

Center hotel, located at 7401 164th Ave. N.E., at 5 p.m.

Heather Wong, Hayden’s mother and a teacher at the school, said fac-ulty members offer different “teacher experiences” as auction items and Principal for a Day is one such experi-ence. She and her husband Dutchin Wong bid on it for Hayden because they wanted their son to experience being in a leadership position and learn how a school is run.

“It’s really important to us for our kids to have a wonderful experience at school,” Heather said.

Faith Lutheran has about 100 stu-dents ranging from 2 years old to the fourth grade and the principal experi-ence is open to all ages -- whoever places the winning bid at the auction. Principal Barbara Deming has been on the job for six years and said each year she has had an elementary-age student principal, adding that having a younger student would be difficult, but they would figure out what to do.

In addition to running the school for a day, she said student principals receive a commemorative key to mark the special occasion.

Throughout the day, Deming walked Hayden through her typical daily tasks as he performed them.

One of these tasks was making the morning announcement, which included reciting the Pledge of Al-

legiance and the morning prayer. Hayden had a small case of nerves during the prayer and came down a bit hard on himself for it, but as he visited classroom during morning attendance, he saw that others were pretty forgiving.

Hayden said the classroom visits were among his favorite duties as principal.

“I actually liked walking around the school and getting attendance and meeting the kids,” he said.

Ever the professional, “Principal Wong” went out of his way to shake hands with students of all ages, some of whom had no qualms about using a student principal to their advantage and requested special privileges.

“Everyone was asking questions like, ‘Can we have an extra hour of recess?’” Hayden said.

While Hayden wasn’t able to grant that request, he was able to extend second recess by a few minutes and let students have recess in the woods on the school grounds, which is more difficult to supervise and a privilege saved for special occasions.

Hayden said he enjoyed the whole experience but doesn’t know if he wants to be a school principal when he grows up. And at 8, he still has time.

“I might want to be a kid a little longer,” he said.

TRUTHFULLY, DO YOU FLOSS?Flossing between teeth may get second billing to tooth brushing, but it is equally important. Unless you floss between teeth regularly, decay-causing bacteria accumulate in places where toothbrush bristles cannot adequately penetrate. Yet, only 12% of Americans floss daily. In recognition of the fact that any method of removing bacteria-laden plaque from between teeth is better than none at all, dentists now have an alternative to flossing that is nearly as effective. A widely available handheld device quite similar to an electric toothbrush effectively cleans between teeth, by shooting microbursts of water accelerated by pressurized air with the press of a button. Users will find that this device cleans between teeth in less than a minute. If you are only brushing your teeth and not flossing, you are only cleaning about 60 percent of your teeth, which leaves you susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.At NW FAMILY and SPORTS DENTISTRY, we strive to teach you good oral hygiene. In the long run, you will have better dental health. We’re located in the Forest Office Park, Building F, at 14655 Bel-Red Road, Suite 101, in Bellevue near the Microsoft Main Campus, where we stress that health depends on healthy teeth and good dental care. A thorough examination and detailed explanation of all findings and treatment needed are routinely given. Preventing dental disease is less costly and more rewarding than correcting the problems after they occur. We’re always happy to discuss improving your smile, and thus, your total feeling of self-esteem. We welcome you to call 425.641.4111 for an appointment.

Let’s limit the city’s urban sprawl

Why not turn the old Group Health site, which is slated for a large mixed-use development, into a park?

Otherwise it becomes like “the other Redmond,” an urban sprawl, only much, much worse.

Elizabeth Stead, Redmond

Stop the bureaucracy and let business thrive

It was a surprise to see that Mr. Grubb had to resort to name calling.

I thought our politicians (and for-mer politicians) were above that.

I am sorry that I didn’t place enough blame on the City Council back then as well, as Mr. Grubb has pointed out, they share much (if not all) of the blame.

The fact remains that the hoops that

the City Council (and Mayor Ives) placed on Nordstrom’s kept them from feeling like they were welcomed in Redmond Town Center, and they chose to take their business elsewhere. If Nordstrom’s had been welcomed to Redmond with open arms, then perhaps the dozens of small businesses that have failed in Town Center over the years would be thriving today.

That is my point with the old Group Health site. We need to relax our bureaucratic red tape and let busi-nesses thrive in our city. The ratio of

businesses to housing has nothing to do with the health of business in our city. The more businesses the better. Let people commute to Redmond, and spend money here. It is a very simple economic model.

I don’t expect the former Mayor and Councilman to understand. Instead, I will take solace in the dozens of small business owners, neighbors and colleagues who read my letter and supported what I had to say.

David J. Levesque, Redmond

The first time I met a Washington State Patrol Trooper, I had reported a drunk driver on SR 520.

It was around midnight, and I was head-ing home from an internship at the Seattle P-I when I saw the woman’s car sway between lines wherever the road snaked. She was totally

sloshed.Less than a minute after

calling dispatch, I saw the man in blue speed by my little red truck. Help arrived, and I gained this unexpected sense of pride.

I never met Trooper Tony Radulescu, whose life was

snatched away last month, but he was the type of man who believed with each DUI arrest, he was saving a life. He wasn’t wrong.

As I waited behind the trooper’s Crown Vic, watching the driver in the Volvo sob in her guilt, my annoyance and anger turned to fear. She was driving a death machine 80 mph down a highway without the coherence to drive straight, much less stop. She could have killed me or some unlucky kid waiting at a red light.

Like all troopers, Radulescu saved lives we never knew were endangered. It should be to no one’s surprise that when our protectors are turned into murder victims, it strikes a bitter chord in the community.

The men who have gunned down several of our officers these past few years didn’t just murder good people, they attacked society.

They’ve declared war on a system that we’ve crafted to keep people accountable for their crimes.

Prosecutors hoped that by convicting those who helped Maurice Clemmons after he gunned down four police, others would learn to disown suspected murderers. Clemmons never made it to trial, but his getaway driver earned 420 years in prison.

This effort wasn’t in vain, but as far as we know it didn’t do much in Radulescu’s case.

The Legislature did the right thing in recent-ly passing the Blue Alert system. Similar to the

Amber Alert, it will help officers track down suspects in incidences where officers have been seriously injured or murdered.

The law had been tied up in legislation for a few years, but Radulescu’s sacrifice brought attention to the legislation. His memory is now immortalized with the law.

His son, Erick, put it well by reading a poem at his memorial.

It finished: “Do not stand in my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.”

Death of slain patrolman Radulescu wasn’t in vain

Host a foreign exchange student, bring the world to your kidsBy MiCHELLE HARtWiG, AyuSA

If you’ve read the newspaper lately, you know that the world can be a scary place: wars, eco-nomic crisis, revolutions, climate change, border disputes, refugees and protests.

So, how do we teach our children about the world and the variety of people in it when most of the examples we read about in the press are so negative?

One life-changing way to broaden your child’s world view is to volunteer to host a high school foreign exchange student. Foreign exchange programs have been around for almost 100 years, and their mission has always been the same – to educate people about

different cultures through person-to-person exchange.

What better message to pass on to your children?

There are quite a few miscon-ceptions about foreign exchange programs – especially around who can host. The biggest misconcep-tion is that you must have high school-aged children when you host a high school exchange student. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Host families of all shapes and sizes, including empty-nesters, families with young or no chil-dren, and single parents are all welcome to apply.

The key requirements for a host family are to provide a safe and nurturing home environment,

genuinely love children, and have a desire to learn more about a dif-ferent culture.

Families with young children find that hosting an exchange student provides their children with an especially unique educa-tional experience in the form of an international big brother or sister. Without even realizing it, chil-dren learn about different types of people and different cultural traditions.

“We’ve been hosting high school exchange students for 10 years, and the experience has given us a different perspective about many things in our lives,” said Jody Sauls, a host mom from Tennessee, who is hosting a high school student from Hong Kong. “My children

have learned not to take clean running water or three meals a day for granted, and to be respectful and tolerant of others,” Sauls said. “My younger daughter recently made the comment that having an exchange student each year is like living in a world geography lesson. I cannot say enough about how the hosting experience has positively impacted my family.”

Volunteer host families provide foreign exchange students a nur-turing environment, three meals a day and a bedroom (either private or shared with a host sibling of the same gender). Each host family and student is supported by a pro-fessionally trained community

exchange organization.“In Tunisia, we always

hear about Americans and American lifestyle, in movies, media, songs, everything, and I know it is different, and I wanted to figure out this difference myself,” said Asma,

a bubbly high school student from Tunisia who spent the 2010-2011 school year living in Anchorage, Alaska.

Foreign exchange students come from all over the world. Ayusa matches host families with students from

more than 60 different countries including Argen-tina, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, Pakistan, Sweden, Thailand, Tunisia and Turkey. All high school foreign exchange students are fully insured, bring their own spending money, and are proficient in English – and all high school exchange programs are regulated by the U.S. Department of State.

Interested host families

are required to fill out an ap-plication, pass a background check and interview with a local exchange program representative in their homes. Once accepted to a program, host families can view profiles of students to find the right match for their family.

Hosting an exchange student is a life-changing experience – for the student, the host family, and the host community. There is no better way to teach your children about the world around them than through welcoming an international

high school student into your home.

Eyman said Redmond’s traffic safety plan recommen-dations are “a healthy develop-ment,” but that is not stopping his legal battle. He said he feels that city leaders are compro-mising the integrity of the city’s initiative process by not forwarding the petition to the county for verification.

Union Hill resident Scott Harlan, along with a group of volunteers, collected more than 6,000 signatures from people who opposed traffic-ticketing cameras.

In the King County Supe-rior Court case, the judge did rule that Redmond city clerk Michelle McGehee does have a “clear duty to transmit the petition to the county auditor” within three days of receiving the petition according to state law. But the judge concluded that it would be a “useless act” for the city to turn in the petition, saying the issue con-cerning traffic-enforcement cameras falls under the power of city legislature rather than the initiative process, based on a September 2011 ruling

in Bellingham by Division 1 of the Washington Court of Appeals.

Last week’s high court rul-ing was similar to the appeal court ruling in Bellingham, saying that red-light cameras are to be approved by local elected lawmakers, not local voters. The City of Redmond filed a cross-appeal to the appeals court, concerning In-veen’s decision that McGehee had a clear duty to turn in the petition.

“That duty applies to peti-tions that are authorized by

law,” said city attorney Jim Haney, who pointed out that both the state appeals court and supreme court have ruled that initiatives concerning traffic-enforcement cameras are not authorized by law.

Haney said the city plans to send its brief to the state appeals court this week. After that, the court will set a date for oral arguments before deciding on the appeal, Haney said.

“We are confident the court of appeals will rule in favor of the city,” Haney said.

SUPREME COURT RULINGThe state Supreme Court

ruling concerning a 2010 ballot initiative in Mukilteo invalidates traffic-enforce-ment camera initiative efforts in other cities, including Redmond.

The court ruled that the Legislature gave “exclusive power” to local city and county councils to decide whether to use the traffic-enforcement cameras.

“The Legislature’s grant of authority does not extend to the electorate,” Justice Barbara Madsen wrote for the five-justice majority.

In response to the ruling, Eyman filed a state-wide initiative to ban all traffic-en-forcement cameras through a state-wide vote. He called last

week’s ruling “arrogant,” and said “the ruling doesn’t have any impact on the litigation in Redmond.”

Redmond Mayor John Marchione said that last week’s ruling “strengthens the city’s legal position and reinforces representative democracy in Redmond.”

Despite the high court rul-ing, Eyman said he feels that Redmond should still have a duty to turn the petition over to the county — even if the topic of traffic-enforcement cameras is deemed invalid for the initiative process. If the city is not required to turn in the signatures in this particu-lar case, it sets a “really, really dangerous precedent,” Eyman said. “It is destructive to the legislative process.”

ulvestad shines at collegiate ski nationals

Redmond High graduate Katie Ulvestad, (Class of 2010) who is

now attending St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., raced well at the United States Collegiate Ski Association (USCSA) Collegiate

National Championships in Maine last weekend. She placed seventh

in the slalom and 15th in the Giant Slalom for ninth place overall.

Ulvestad’s performance helped St. Olaf place fifth in the field of 19

teams in the Alpine division.

harper qualifies for u.s. olympic trials

Two-time high school state breaststroke champion Heather

Harper qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100-meter

breaststroke last Saturday in Federal Way, clocking a time of 1

minute, 12.14 seconds. Harper, who swam for Redmond High

School, qualified seventh for the breaststroke championship finals of the USA Swimming Sectionals,

where she climbed up to fourth and barely got under the time

standard of 1:12.19 to earn her first Trials berth.

What a difference a year can make.

For the Redmond High baseball program and head coach Dan Pudwill, this season’s team rep-resents an entirely different group of players from his 2011 squad that placed fourth at the state tourna-ment, but he has the same goal in mind - a Kingco championship.

Gone are the D-I caliber bats and golden arms of Michael Conforto and Dylan Davis (Oregon State) as well as Zach Ab-bruzza (Gonzaga).

Also gone is the team’s No. 1 preseason ranking. This year the Mustangs are definitely on the outside looking in, and that’s just the way Pudwill likes it.

Instead of having a target on their back, it will allow them to zero in on their opponents.

“It’s not going to be something where we’re a front-runner,” he said. “We’ll have to track some teams down and really gel in all three phases (pitch-ing, hitting, defense) at the end of the season.”

senior poWerEven with the talent the

Mustangs graduated last year, the deep program brings back a tremendous class of 13 rostered upper-classmen for 2012.

That group will be led by three returning start-

ers, Patrick McGrath – a shortstop and closer who hits for power and aver-age, Peter Hendron – who comes up big at the plate and will share innings with fellow senior Adam Cline,

and Cody Beliel – a speedy second baseman who will bat leadoff and steal bases.

“We have a de-cent core there, and we also have 10 other seniors that have been in the program for a cou-

ple years, which is helpful,” Pudwill noted. “We have some younger players that are going to find their way onto the field as well.”

At the forefront of that group will be the team’s only rostered junior, Brent Firth, who provides power from the left side of the plate, and a group of three sophomores that have solid bats: Kyle Francis, Lucas Eliason and Bran-don Burditt.

Another notable statistic is that a total of 11 players on the team’s roster have the letter “P” as one of their indicated positions, allowing the Mustangs to have open auditions to see who can perform the best on the mound.

“After (Hendron and Cline), it’s anybody’s guess,” Pudwill said. “So many kids can pitch, we’ll see who can do it (best) at this level, consistently and successfully.”

small BallWhile the eighth-year

coach said that this year’s offense, compared to years past, will be more of a “small ball” game, the Mustangs players still feel they have plenty of pop to hold their own.

“We have strong hitters all throughout the lineup, so we should be pretty good on moving runners around,” Beliel said. “We can play to our strengths by just (string-ing) base hits, doubles after doubles, bringing guys in.”

Added McGrath, “Our whole lineup is potent, up and down. We’re going to hit the ball hard, and also bunt a lot.”

As defense has never been a problem for the Mustangs under Pudwill’s watch, the team’s success this year will

depend not so much on its ability to hit balls out of the park, but moving runners around and coming up with clutch hits.

“We’ll be playing for a run at a time instead of a big inning,” explained Pudwill, adding that offensive execu-tion will be a focal point of his team this year. “We have to make sure everyone can get on base, everyone can move runners up and get a

runner in from third with less than two outs.”

Finally given a chance to shine, the Mustangs’ 13 se-niors will look to gel as a team over the course of the year, and peak in the postseason.

“They’ve worked hard, and been an instrumental part of the program for three years,” said Pudwill about his upperclassmen. “I’d like to see them rewarded with a great experience.”

Redmond’s 13 seniors are more than capable of another deep postseason run

Redmond’s all-state hoops trio

Three Redmond athletes got nominated for the WIBCA All-State team in their respective divisions, and got to play in the all-state game last Saturday at Curtis High School. Pictured from left: Lucas Fernandez (Bear Creek School, 2B), Jason Harrington (Redmond High School, 4A), and Dean Poplawski (Overlake School, 1A). Bear Creek senior Erik Domas also made the team, but did not attend due to a scholarship interview. Courtesy photos

• Head coach: Mike Davidson, 11th season

• Last year: 8-4, 3rd place 1A Emerald

City League, 12-8 overall

• 2012 turnout: 28

KEY RETURNERS• Sr. Jackson Umberger, 2B: First-team all-leaguer looks to go out with a bang before heading to play at Claremont-McKenna in California.

• Sr. Aaron DiGenova, 3B: Another first-team selection, had a breakout power season last year.

• Sr. Michael Andrea, P: Missed entire 2011 season due to injury, but is back strong and expected to be the No. 1 starter

• Sr. Steven Sacia, OF: Versatile player and speedy top-of-the-lineup threat will be team’s utility man.

TOP NEWCOMER• Fr. Peter Perkins, 1B: Team’s only freshman will fill a hole at first base and in the middle of the lineup.

KEY GAME• Overlake vs. Bellevue Christian Friday, May 4, 3 p.m.: This home game will likely be the final matchup between the Owls and the Vikings, as Bellevue Christian, along with Cedar Park Christian, will be leaving the Emerald City League after the 2011-12 school year.

DID YOU KNOW?The team will be headed to the Dominican Republic in the first week of April for a seven-day trip which will combine service work with four games against local teams.

“Our kids will have the chance to do some good in a place that looks nothing like Redmond, and play against some guys who have much less than they do and see baseball as one of the few avenues to success,” said head coach Mike Davidson. “Our kids are collecting a shipping container full of baseball gear to bring with us and leave there.”

COACH’S CORNER“Overlake-Bear Creek returns a deep and veteran team that expects to compete for a league title and a state tournament berth. If we can get more consistency from our pitching staff and replace the production of our two best hitters from a year ago, this could be the year we break through.” — Owls’ coach Mike Davidson

On offense, Elaine Wang went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs, Ashley Walls went 2-for-3, Ashley Mitchell had a 3-for-4 day and Blake Gransee was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate.

The Mustangs played Kentridge on Thursday night at 5 p.m., after the Reporter’s deadline.

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is adding a new online payment system beginning next week. The new system will allow parents of most secondary school (high school and junior high) students to go online and pay student fees, fines, make do-nations, buy yearbooks and more using a credit card.

Starting next week, online payment options will be available to LWSD’s second-ary schools. The district’s choice high schools, Inter-national Community School and STEM, will be included next year. Online payments will not be available at choice junior high or middle schools due to the low volume of transactions at those schools. Once the first phase of this

project is implemented, the district will work to deter-mine the cost and benefit of adding online payments at other sites.

The district is charged fees for accepting payment using credit cards. For this service to be self-supporting,

the school board approved a processing fee for online payments. The fee is 3.5 per-cent per transaction with a minimum charge of $1 and a maximum charge of $10. Fees

will not be assessed on dona-tions made to the district.

To make an online pay-ment, log in to Parent Access and find the new “Online Payments” icon.
