A total of 3,813,536 residents in our state were registered to vote as of Oct. 3. Sadly, a fair number of them won’t vote Nov. 6 in our state and national election.
Every week, more than 100 women in our state are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Being diagnosed with this disease is as scary as you can imagine. I would know. Two years ago, I was diagnosed. Because I had the unending support of my family, a great job with a compassionate staff, health insurance and — most importantly — an early diagnosis, I was fortunate.
This month marks my two-year anniversary with the Redmond Reporter and during my time here, one thing that has always struck me about this community has been just that: community.
When I think of the crosswalks and pedestrian safety issues featured in this issue’s cover story, I can’t help but return to my youth.
As a 5-year-old, my mom arranged for me to meet up with a police officer in my hometown of Redondo Beach, Calif., for a newspaper article on crossing the street safely. (Yes, I was in the paper as the subject of a story before becoming a writer myself years later.)
Most of us have been bullied at some point, whether we endured teasing, name-calling, or even physical aggression. Although the initial sting may go away, the memories of the experience haunt some people for the rest of their lives. You may forever be self-conscious about a crooked nose, your weight or the way you dress — all because a bully made fun of you in middle school.
The Republicans have nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as their candidates for president and vice president. The Democrats have nominated Barack Obama and Joe Biden as their choices.
As I strolled through the halls at Redmond Elementary on Wednesday, taking back-to-school photos of students and parents, I, too, got caught up in the moment of transitioning from one grade or level to another.
This past week, Democrats from all 50 states and several territories gathered in Charlotte, N.C., for the 46th Democratic National Convention (DNC). There, delegates unanimously voted to renominate Barack Obama and Joe Biden for a second term, and approved a platform outlining the party’s beliefs. I traveled to Charlotte last Saturday to represent our state as a delegate, and have greatly enjoyed being in the middle of all of the action.
This week, the Republican Party held its 40th national convention in Tampa, Fla, where more than 2,000 delegates nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to be their standard bearers for president and vice president.
It’s sad to say, but I’m leaving as editor of the Redmond Reporter to take on a new job and begin an exciting new chapter in my life. I will soon work for the most demanding — and rewarding — boss in my life.
The Legislature wants our state parks system to become 100 percent operationally self-sufficient. Our response is that the idea is – where do we start? – “misguided,” “unattainable,” “self-defeating.” OK, let’s just call it what it is – “stupid.”
Here are my top three attractions and repulsions of Redmond.
I am writing in reference to the editorial cartoon in the Aug. 3 edition of the Redmond Reporter depicting the cartoonist’s thoughts on the separation of church and state I would like to clarify.
On behalf of the homeowners of Sammamish Forest Manors, we would like to applaud and thank the City of Redmond for its support of National Night Out on Tuesday night.
A few days ago, counties across Washington began tabulating ballots and reporting results in the state’s 2012 winnowing election.
I am pleased to introduce a new column that will be featured on the Redmond Reporter on a monthly basis as of now.
The Youthful Words column is a place for sharing organic ideas, thoughts, and inspirational words by and for young people. As an avid writer and involved teen in our community, my personal belief is that young people have an incredible amount to say and opening windows of opportunity for them to share these words with the rest of the world is immensely important.
Every four years, in addition to electing a governor to serve as our state’s chief executive, the people of Washington are called upon to elect several other officers to fill out our state’s executive department, which includes the offices of lieutenant governor, treasurer, auditor, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, commissioner of public lands, insurance commissioner, and secretary of state.
Redmond’s annual summer extravaganza is ready to rock — and roll through town.
This weekend, the Redmond Derby Days Summer Festival — highlighted by a spirited, downtown parade and the nation’s longest-standing bicycle race — will be in full force.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s upholding of most of President Obama’s health care law doesn’t end the discussion of health care in this country. Fixing the system has a long way to go.
