In brief

Sports champions get parade: The state champion Redmond High boys tennis and Ridgeview girls golf teams, as well as individual golf champion Isaac Buerger of Ridgeview, will get their own parade through downtown Redmond, starting at 5 p.m. Thursday. According to an email from Police Chief Dave Tarbet, the parade starts at the corner of NW Sixth Street and Birch Avenue, and will move south down Sixth to SW Glacier Avenue, where it will turn west toward Redmond High. Tarbet wrote that the fire truck escorting the vehicles has a control device that changes traffic signals green, preventing the need for road closures. He wrote that no disruption to normal traffic flow is expected.
