RPA students win honors
in ‘If I were mayor’ contest
Redmond Proficiency Acad-
emy students Chaela Baker
and Harrison Swift earned first
place honors in annual “If I
Were Mayor” contest. Baker, a
senior at RPA, won first place
at the state level in the high
school video category. She said
increasing recycling opportu-
nities would be one of her ma-
jor initiatives, even adding a
recycling center to Redmond.
Baker would also ensure that
Redmond city parks were safe
and clean.
Swift, a seventh-grader, won
first place at the state level in
the middle school essay cate-
gory. Swift pledged to tackle
the issues of homelessness,
writing, “I would propose the
city build a designated home-
less camp, somewhere along
Maple Avenue. It would have
bunkhouses, an area for tents,
and a program to help people
get jobs. The camp would be
built on tax dollars, and would
charge its patrons 5-10 dol-
lars a night. I think that this
would really help homeless-
ness in Redmond (and Oregon
as a whole), and could aid the
homeless in getting back on
their feet.”
First place-winning students
and their families will be in-
vited to attend the OMA Sum-
mer conference in North Bend
at the Mill Casino on July 31,
to have their prize presented at

We will all miss Chuck and he has etched a special place
