City, utility officials at odds over utility hike

Accident leaves local man a quadriplegic

BY PEYTON WHITELY pwhitely@kirklandreporter.com

It all comes down to lineal feet. Or the type of lineal feet. Or maybe it’s because when Kirkland annexed some parts of what had been unincorporated King County last summer, it didn’t dig up all the water pipes and put in new ones. Instead, customers there continued to get their water from the Northshore Utility District. That would seem pretty simple. Instead, it’s become something of a financial quagmire. To Kingsgate resident Toby Nixon, who’s running for Kirkland City Council, it’s an ethical issue, with him arguing the money matters have become unfair. To Margaret Wiggins, a utility-district commissioner, the questions partly seem to involve a mistake — about lineal feet. To the utility district itself, in a Sept. 28 letter to its customers, the questions seem to involve the discovery that much of the annexation area consists of single-family homes, not buildings like hospitals. And to the City of Kirkland, summarizing the situation in a Sept. 14 memo, the issue also seemed a surprise, with Kirkland officials not [ more HIKE page 5 ]

“You can’t stop it,” says Lovada Lambright, who has made that discovery about aging in the past 1-1/2 years. That’s why, on a blustery October day, Lambright was standing outside at the Gardens at Juanita Bay, showing her giant pumpkin. She really has two stories,

Erik Baker’s life changed in an instant. A former Kirkland resident now living in Gold Bar, he was helping his neighbor install lights for the local 4H Club Horse Arena when he fell from a pole in May. He broke his neck and suffered permanent spinal-cord injury, making him a quadriplegic. Baker, 40, was always very active, including volunteering at Friendship Adventures, a nonprofit based in Kirkland that supports people with disabilities. His favorite hobbies were skiing, horseback riding, riding quads, hunting and fishing. But, his active lifestyle

had to be redefined after the accident. “I was initially very scared,” says Baker, who graduated from Lake Washington High School in 1989. “But then it got me really motivated.” After being released from the hospital, Baker has continued with physical therapy and recently started outpatient therapy at Providence Regional Medical Center. “I am still planning on doing everything I used to,” he says, “just at a different capacity.” Despite Baker’s grueling therapy, he has managed to maintain a positive attitude. “He has not had any major meltdowns,” said his wife, Kelly.

ampaign sign alterations, bickering and even physical altercations – these are all signs that the Kirkland City Council election campaign is heating up. But they shouldn’t be. Campaigns should be civil. Instead, Kirkland politics are getting dirty. And real ugly. There have been reports that someone is putting false firefighter endorsement tags on candidates’ signs. Others are taking candidates signs down or blocking them with other signs. A police report even noted a disturbance over campaign signs in north Rose Hill on Sept. 30. Two of the parties involved were campaigning for a council candidate and allegedly saw a third party remove signs. A physical altercation ensued and police found both sides equally responsible, the report continued. An election should be won fair and square, with no dirty politics involved. It is not only uncivil, but it makes a mockery of our city. Cut it out. The better – and more civil – way to go is to attend a candidate forum, ask candidates ques-

tions or engage in a robust discussion. There are three issues of the Kirkland Reporter left before the Nov. 8 general election. However, ballots will go out next week. This means, if you have something to say about a council candidate, you should submit a letter by 5 p.m. Monday if you want to see it published in the Oct. 21 issue

City of Kirkland cannot be trusted Yes, it’s still a matter of trust. I recently received the notice from the Northshore Utility District informing us of our rate change. I also remember that the Kirkland City Council couldn’t garner enough votes to do an annexation with assumption of debt, so they resorted an annexation without it. Yet it appears that they are finding ways to turn the annexed area into the “cash cow” that many of us felt we would be used for. Higher costs, a closing of the fire station in Kingsgate and the list seems to continue growing. In the notice from Northshore it explains the cities’ franchise system that the city chose to use instead of just levying the utility tax like they do for all other Kirkland residents. We knew we were getting higher rates for exactly the same service and that Kirkland was getting the $200,000 influx of cash from Northshore. But now there is a new twist. Originally it was expected by Northshore that the city would use a franchise rate of 10.5 percent, which would be the same as what is used in the utility tax for all other pre-annexation residents. No, the city chose to use their existing structure that applies an additional 2.34 percent resulting in essentially a tax of 12.84 percent. This will certainly result in a higher amount to the city than the $200,000 originally announced.

So there are now two classes of Kirkland citizens: The pre-annexation ones and the post-annexation ones? What happened to equal treatment promised? Once again the Kirkland City government has shown that it cannot be trusted. Since 1991 I have watched the efforts to transform Kirkland from a really nice little town into Washington’s version of Sausalito, Calif. with its same problems and the same attitude to the taxpayers. There is an election coming up. The existing council membership has lost all credibility and accountability. It needs to be fully cleaned out and new accountable people put in who are ethical, fiscally responsible and who actually understand who their real employers are.

Greenway supported property tax increase Councilwoman Jessica Greenway’s campaign treasurer, Bea Nahon, recently denied that the 8.86 percent property tax increase Greenway supported for 2006 was really much of an increase, because the millage rate didn’t go up much. That is just plain false, and unbecoming of a licensed CPA to provide such misleading and inaccurate interpretation. Kirkland Ordinance No. 4025 is absolutely clear. Anybody can read it for themselves. In 2005, Kirkland collected $10,275,198 in property taxes. In

2006, the city collected $11,559,174 in property taxes - an increase of $1,283,976, or 12.49 percent over what the city collected in 2005. Of that 12.49 percent increase in total property tax collected, 8.86 percent was an optional $910,000 increase voted in by the city council. The assessed valuation of all properties in Kirkland rose from $7.87 billion for 2005 to $8.75 billion for 2006. This meant that the millage rate only needed to be increased a little bit in order to collect the higher amount of taxes. But we don’t pay the millage rate -we pay the millage rate multiplied by our individual property assessed value. There is no denying that Kirkland property owners wrote significantly larger checks for their property taxes in 2006 than in 2005, largely because of this vote by the city council - which Jessica Greenway supported. Nahon does admit that a typical $400,000 home paid $54.39 more in taxes in 2006 than in 2005. What she doesn’t say is that if the council hadn’t voted in that optional property tax increase, the 2006 millage rate would have been $1.217 instead of $1.322. Because of this property tax increase, the city property tax bill on a $400,000 home in 2006 was $528.80 instead of the $486.80 it would have been - almost 9 percent higher. My statement in the recent candidate forum was factual. During the debate on this tax increase at the Dec. 13, 2005, city

council meeting, Councilman Dave Asher, who opposed the tax increase, said the council “didn’t consider material cuts to existing programs before we layered additional requirements on top … we didn’t go and look for additional savings (anywhere) else, in other places, before we added the taxes on top of everything else.” I would have voted with Asher.

Greenway has kept city on fiscal path I write to endorse Jessica Greenway for reelection to the Kirkland City Council. She is the right person for this job. I am an advocate of people who walk the talk, unlike professional politicians at the state and federal levels who promise whatever you want to hear. Greenway is the chairperson of the finance committee. With her guidance she’s kept Kirkland on the fiscal path to achieve a AAA financial rating. She is a longtime resident and advocate of the City of Kirkland. She believes in: open government, conservative fiscal practices, environmentally sound practices for parks and the waterfront and cohesion with her fellow council members on city matters. Greenway is pro-residents and is pro-business. These are just a few reasons I support the re-election of Jessica Greenway.

www.kirklandreporter.com learning of the fiscal difficulties until June, when the utility district told the city about the money problems. “We’re a little frustrated with the district at the moment,� said Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett. “We have been dragged into the middle of a budget battle,� said Wiggins. The root of the dispute centers on how customers in the annexation area got their water from the utility district, and continue to do so.The city estimates that, with annexation, about 45 percent of Kirkland customers are served by the district. Wiggins estimates 8,000 of the district’s roughly 20,000

Instead, the district pays the franchise fee and remains intact, he said. The most recent agreement on the fee was negotiated in 2008 and became effective in 2009. The deal called for the district to pay the city $3.21 cents for every lineal foot of right-ofway within the district service area, city documents explain. Both city and district officials stress the figure is based on street right-of-way, not pipes. That means, in effect, that the bill is calculated on

how many miles of streets are involved, not miles of buried pipe. The result of the agreements was that before annexation, the district could make its payment to the city by imposing a 7.5 percent fee on customers. Then came annexation, which was discussed for years before taking place June 1 this year. Much of the talk involved things like whether utility bills would be affected, with estimates made that the

fee would be raised to 10.5 percent. Now Nixon and others say they were misled during all that talk, that they were assured their utility bills wouldn’t change much. “Now we hear that the effective tax rate is not going to be 10.5 percent, but almost 13 percent,� Nixon complained to the Kirkland City Council. “This isn’t fair. This isn’t right. It isn’t how we build trust.� Exactly how such a change came about, however,

customers now are in the City of Kirkland. It’s not enough, however, simply to provide water and other services. As part of the relationship between the district and the city, a “franchise fee� was negotiated between the governmental units. Wiggins compares that to a cable-television or phone bill. In effect, it means the district has to pay the city for having its pipes in the ground. That’s true, says Triplett, but the reasons really go back to the 1990 state Growth Management Act, which would have allowed the city to take over district operations in the city during annexation, radically cutting district size and staff.

PSE seeks route for new Sammamish-Juanita transmission line BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

Puget Sound Energy has begun the process of weighing potential route alternatives for a proposed transmission line from Redmond to Kirkland. The utility wants to construct 4.5 miles of 115 kilovolt line that would run from the Sammamish substation (9221 willows Rd. N.E. in Redmond) to the Juanita substation (10910 N.E. 132nd St. in Kirkland). PSE officials gave a project overview to more than a dozen city officials and neighborhood leaders from both cities during its first stakeholder advisory group meeting at the Baymont Inn in Kirkland on Sept. 29. Customers in the area can expect more reliable service once the project is completed, said Barry Lombard, PSE project manager. He explained the electrical system in the northern Redmond-Kirkland area, known as the Moorlands system, is comprised of the Sammamish, Moorlands and Cottage Brook substations,

plus 12 other local substations. Those substations are all served by three local 115 kV transmission lines, which supply power to approximately 150,000 customers in residential areas. The system faces two problems – reliability and capacity, said Lombard. “If two of the lines should go out, the way the system is now, that would result in all 12 substations in that area losing power,” he said. “So we’re building a new line to make sure we have enough reliability so that if there’s an accident like that we don’t lose 150,000 people all at once.” Demand for power is also growing in the Kirkland, Redmond, Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville areas, as customers use more electronics and more houses are built. The transmission lines are reaching their capacity limits, said Lombard. Under certain conditions, such as during summer and winter peaks, the existing system can be overloaded and result in loss of service to

le

nd ilab a a ts lo av ch ow a n Be ing c an

customers. Adding the new Sammamish-Juanita transmission line will allow PSE to accommodate the area’s future need for power and reduce the possibility of system overloads in the next 20 years or so, added Lombard. The first phase of the project – the Sammamish-Juanita line – will allow PSE to move two substations off the Moorlands system, while increasing available system capacity and improving reliability. The company plans to begin construction on the approximately $5-$6 million project in the summer of 2013. Phase 2, likely years in the future, would involve adding another JuanitaMoorlands transmission line. Over the next few months, PSE will work with the advisory group to develop possible route alternatives that reflect community input. “We’re using a geospatial model that layers all of the different constraints, land uses and zoning areas,” said Lombard. “Then depending on how (the community)

values different things – like wetlands or forest or residential areas – it will find the path of least resistance.” PSE plans to hold a public open house this fall to gather community feedback on possible route alternatives. The advisory group will also consider community input that was gathered during initial community meetings in 2008 and 2009. “They certainly had strong opinions where this line should go,” said Lombard of the earlier meetings. “So we’ll take it all into consideration and we just hope to find the route that is the most acceptable to the community.” PSE expects to choose a preferred route by February 2012. The next advisory group meeting will be held from 5:30-8 p.m. on Oct. 17 at the Baymont Inn and Suites, 12223 N.E. 116th St., Kirkland. The group will review past routing alternatives.

Then she added: “It’s the small things that make us smile.” Of course, there’s a history that led to that conclusion, and for Lambright it included many of life’s common experiences. She was born in Shelton, lived in such places as Olympia, Centralia, Puyallup and Seattle, married, had two kids, divorced. About 1-1/2 years ago, she was living on her own, at an apartment in Olympia, working in a department store, with her children in Monroe and California.

Without going into specifics, but somewhat bitterly, she arrived in Juanita, at the residence founded as the German Retirement Home in 1977 at 11853 97th Ave. N.E., which she now calls “a great place.” Which leads to the pumpkin. “They found I have a green thumb,” she said, and soon she was working with the groundskeepers, helping out. Then on a nice day last spring, something very routine took place. “I stuck my thumb in the ground and put in the seed,” she said, explaining that she’d just found the pumpkin seed on the ground, probably left by a bird. The months passed. Remarkable events took place. The pumpkin vines spread from the tub where the seed was planted and sprawled across the garden. Four pumpkins appeared. One was bigger than the others. Now it’s fall. That big pumpkin nestles near a fence in the garden. Everyone who hefts it is certain it must weigh at least 30 pounds. “Some of the residents, they’ll have family come through and say, ‘Oh, my gosh, where did that come from?’” said Lambright. “It’s been fun,” she said. “It’s always a fun thing to do with kids, plant a seed and see what happens. It was a magic seed.” Of course, Lambright adds that it’s also helped her make a significant discovery, about what’s important. “Every day, I go out and look at it,” she said.

Fall is the ideal time to plant! Mild temperatures during initial root growth give plants a head start and root growth can continue into the winter months. Trees, shrubs and perennials can take up to three years before they are fully established. Planting in the fall provides the time and moist conditions for healthy root growth and ensures plants are better prepared for the flush of spring and summer growth. You can also save a great deal of water when you plant in the fall – especially compared to the summer – because the plants will get enough moisture from natural rainfall alone. 534581

Rotary Club of Kirkland partners to provide school shoes For two nights at the end of September several members of the Rotary Club of Kirkland provided assistance while local elementary students selected a new pair of shoes for the school year at the Totem Lake

Fred Meyers. It was part of Kirkland Rotary’s Annal Shoe project, which has been occurring for several years. This year Rotary Club of Kirkland and Totem Lake Fred Meyers provided 49 pairs of shoes to students who qualified. Last year 60 pair of shoes were provided. As always, the Rotarians enjoyed meeting the students and their parents.

In 2005, Kirkland Rotary decided to “adopt” the John Muir Elementary School in the Kingsgate neighborhood of Kirkland. Rotary had already partnered with the school on several programs, when some other sources of assistance to the school went away. Several projects have been undertaken since then with four continuing through this year: Reading Bud-

dies, the Warm Coat program, New Shoes program and the Accelerated Reading program. Rotary Club of Kirkland has been active in the Kirkland community for 73 years and raises money for this, and other projects, with their annual Duck Dash currently run on the 4th of July. The club meets at 6 p.m. every Monday night at the Woodmark Hotel at Carillon Point.

Investigators still are trying to determine the source of a small petroleum spill that caused a sheen on Lake Washington Sunday. The spill was reported about 10 a.m. Sunday near David E. Brink Park, 555 Lake St. South, just south of downtown. The state Department of Ecology, the Kirkland Fire Department and the King County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the report of the sheen, estimated at 100 feet by 30 feet by the DOE. About 900 feet of oilcontainment boom was spread around the sheen to absorb the petroleum on Monday. The cause of the sheen was traced to the Shumway Condominiums, which are directly east of the park along Lake Street South, said Bobbi Wallace, city wasteand-storm-water manager. The Shumway condo association is hiring an environmental-research group to try to determine the cause of the sheen, said Wallace. “We’re still baffled,� she said. Several storm drains on

About 900 feet of oil-containment boom on Lake Washington absorbs a diesel spill on Monday. PEYTON WHITELY, Kirkland Reporter the condo property were plugged to prevent possible future leaks, she said, but it hadn’t been determined whether such drains were involved in the leak at all. It’s possible the leak could have developed behind retaining walls at the condo development or even in an older fuel-storage tank that may have been improperly decommissioned, she added. The size of the spill was unknown, said Wallace, but a small amount of petroleum can cause such a sheen. The DOE estimates that a quart of oil can foul more than 100,000 gallons of water. The property where the condos now stand formerly

was the site of one of the most renowned buildings in Kirkland, the Shumway mansion, built on seven acres in 1909 for a prominent Massachusetts family. It later became a nursing home and in 1985 was the center of a community spectacle as it was moved through downtown and north along Market Street to the Juanita area, where it became a bed-and-breakfast inn; in a footnote to history, it was at a 1994 retreat at the Shumway that Microsoft first became involved in what became known as the “browser wars,� involving Internet search processes. In 2008, the Shumway became an adult-family home.

Examples of healthcare fraud include: Billing for services not provided; billing for unnecessary services or equipment; counterfeit prescription drugs; and used equipment sold as new. Here are a few things you can do to protect yourself: 1) Keep a record of your medical activities by date, service received, equipment provided, tests run, etc. 2) Ask questions.

Juanita’s Haili Adams tries to work the ball around Lake Washington’s Emily Bunnell on Oct. 4. MEGAN MANAGAN, Kirkland Reporter

Girls soccer In their first meeting of the regular season, Lake Washington shut out their cross town rivals Juanita on the soccer pitch. The Kangs earned both goals in the first half, followed by a stalemate in the second, but it was enough to earn the Kangs a win. Shelby Bergren connected with the goal off an assist from Kennedy Nicholson in the 25th minute of the match. Seven minutes later the team made a run again, this time with Kaiti Brixey putting the ball past Juanita goalie Shelby Hill. Brixey was assisted by Sara Crauer and Cassie Lively. In 3A KingCo standings, the Kangs sit in third place with a 5-2 league record and at 5-3-1 overall. The Rebels

are currently 0-6-1 this season in league games, and 1-7-1 overall. Lake Washington hosted Mercer Island, shutting down the Islanders 2-0 on Oct. 6. Bergren had the first goal of the night, with assists by Emma Holm and Emily Bunnell in the 17th minute. The second goal of the night came in the 79th minute of the game from Emily Robinson, assisted by Bunnell. Oct. 6 the Rebels hosted Sammamish, winning 2-1. Juanita’s first goal came courtesy of Danika Bethune, assisted by Caitlyn Glenn in the 71st minute, followed by a Sammamish goal five minutes later.

Mike Gregoire, First Gentleman of the state of Washington, joined Kari Ely’s kindergarten class at Rose Hill Elementary School in Kirkland on Oct. 6, to participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. John Marchione, the mayor of Redmond, joined Monica Peter’s kindergarten class at Redmond Elementary for the event as well. This program, presented in partnership with the Pearson Foundation, is a world-record-breaking campaign that brings together more than two million children and adults to read the same book on the same day. The event focuses attention on the importance of early education. Both “First Mike” and Mayor Marchione read the official campaign book, “Llama Llama Red Pajama,” by Anna Dewdney. Each student received their own copy of the book to take home, courtesy of the Pearson Foundation, which also provided copies of the book for other pre-K and kindergarten classes around Lake Washington School District. “First Mike” also gave each student a Trooper the First Dog trading card, with information on the Gregoires’ Shiba Inu.

I write to endorse Councilman Bob Sternoff for reelection to the Kirkland City Council. As one who has devoted much of his life to studying Kirkland’s history, and from that study authored over 200 articles and one book, it is clear to me that Mr. Sternoff is a council member on par with the best Kirkland has ever had, going back to its incorporation in 1905. This man is an incredible asset to our community and we are very lucky to have a person of his caliber willing to serve in this often thankless position. Sternoff is an area native and raised his family here, so he is a “hometown guy,� which affords him strong perspective. Through much hard work and effort, he established himself at a younger age than most as a business leader. At a point in business success when many start to focus on hobbies and vacations, Sternoff made time to concentrate his energy on various boards and commissions, including nine years service on the Kirkland Parks Board. He was elected to the council in 2005 and also serves on the Puget Sound Regional Council Executive Board and Regional Transit Committee (Metro) and too many others to mention. Kirkland derives incalculable value from having Sternoff as a strong Kirkland advocate, since these entities made decisions about land use, transit, public safety, transportation, economic development and a host of others which substantially impact Kirklanders’ day-to-day lives. Owing to his business background, he understands well the critical importance of fostering a culture of “customer service� at City Hall. That same experience makes Sternoff a diligent watchdog on budgetary and financial matters, ensuring both efficiency and responsible prioritizing so that Kirklanders, not special interests, remain the top priority. Even with all of this on his plate, he makes time to volunteer in groups like Green Kirkland and Ku-

Jessica Greenway is open and honest We truly want to be represented by Jessica Greenway on the Kirkland City Council. She listens to citizens, is open and honest, and explains her decisions clearly. She works first and foremost for the best interests of the citizens of Kirkland. Now that we too are part of Kirkland we want her ear and her voice for our community. With her as chair of the finance committee, Kirkland’s Standard & Poors AAA rating has been maintained in a very trying financial period. We want to help Jessica and Kirkland to win with her re-election.

Story on Potala Village is troubling The article in the Oct. 7 Reporter entitled “Tibetan-themed development stirs disharmony� is deeply troubling. The tone is unmistakably biased, ironically in diametric contrast to the very facts presented. It will be misleading to many readers who will skim the piece but not ponder those facts. Halfway through we learn that the development is not “Tibetan-themed� at all, just that the name “Potala� was chosen in tribute to the Tibetan Dalai Lama. The subtitle inexplicably, misleadingly says “based on Dalai Lama’s home.� I was expecting something resembling the Taj Mahal, comically out of place in Kirkland, instead the picture of the developer’s similar building in Everett looks very like the 101 Apartments just down the street from the proposal. The “disharmony� of the title, while it is stated emphatically, goes

unsupported by facts or figures: “To say the Potala project has attracted community interest is to vastly understate vehemence (sic).â€? Where is all the protesting outrage this insinuates? “... letters and emails protesting the projectâ€? in city files? I imagine there is not one large development project anywhere that does not get its share. Yet this is characterized by the reporter as “frenzy.â€? However, the most troubling aspect of the article is the ugly tone of intolerance: “It’s almost impossible to overstate how unusual Dargey’s life has been. He’s from Tibet.â€? (Oh my God) “He studied to be a monk.â€? (Now we’re in trouble) “He didn’t come to the United States until 1997.â€? (14 years? He’s fresh off the boat.) “He didn’t speak English.â€? (Now that’s going too far - they don’t speak English in Tibet?) How is any of this unusual? The writer, Peyton Whitely, goes on to equate the developer’s wanting to earn a profit of perhaps 10 percent with being somehow contrary to the concept of altruism, and to state that his having been able to undertake and complete similar projects “is, of course, something of a mystery.â€? The fact that he has been successful during hard times in the economy lends legitimacy to his being able to carry out this project. His intention to build a LEED-certified environmental development should be lauded. His plans include more than ample parking. This is the kind of development we should want. He agreed to reduce the number of units by 40, apparently demonstrating willingness to compromise with the aforementioned protests, and the writer suggests reducing by an additional 43 units (another 33 percent), then reports that the man was not immediately amenable to that suggestion. Such insolence! Whitely sniffs judgmentally at the developer’s “taste in dĂŠcorâ€? in his Everett office, which contains “photos of Tibet and philosophical ponderings (sic),â€? and then comments that his business dealings are somehow in conflict with “what might seem to suggest life choices based on serenity and contemplation.â€? The reporter does not inform us what s/he thinks would be a preferable development of the site or more crucially, whom the reporter thinks should be carrying it out.

Kirkland students are semifinalists in national scholarship program

Ford of Kirkland goes green with energy-efficient lighting

Two Lake Washington School District students, Shelby Jennings from International Community School and Elizabeth Alexander from Lake Washington High School, are among the 1,600 Black American high school seniors who have been designated as semifinalists in the 2012 National Achievement Scholarship Program. This program is a part of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and recognizes scholastically talented young men and women. Jennings and Alexander are among the 1,600 students from the United States selected as semifinalists for these awards. They will now go on to complete for one of the approxiNBUFMZ "DIJFWFNFOU 4DIPMBSTIJQ BXBSET worth more than $2.4 million to be offered next spring. To be considered for a National Achievement Scholarship, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. The National Achievement Scholarship Program is a privately financed academic DPNQFUJUJPO FTUBCMJTIFE JO TQFDJÄ• DBMMZ UP honor scholastically talented Black American youth, and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding participants in the annual National Merit Scholarship competition.

BRIEFS

Recent updates that Ford of Kirkland made to its lighting system are expected to reduce the dealership’s energy output by more than 70,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year and save more than $141,000 in energy costs over the next 20 years. “In a continuing effort to look for ways to be environmentally friendly, our team made a decision to upgrade the lighting in our facility,� said Jim Walen, dealer principal at Ford of Kirkland. “We put out to bid a year ago and we were able find two great partners to help us realize our vision: Dan Petitt and his Seahurst Electric crew, and Jeff Petersen from Puget Sound Energy.� The project cost $50,000 and included upgrading Ford Of Kirkland’s standard lighting fixtures to energy-efficient models. According to Seahurst Electric estimates, the new lighting system will dramatically reduce output of environmental pollutants such as carbon dioxide and mercury. The estimate also compares the reduced environmental impact to the following equivalent benefits: t 1MBOUJOH BDSFT PG USFFT QFS ZFBS t 4BWJOH HBMMPOT PG HBTPMJOF QFS ZFBS t 3FEVDJOH PJM EFNBOE CZ HBMMPOT QFS year Aside from being environmentally friendly, Ford of Kirkland also found the project to be cost-efficient. “With the help of Jeff at Puget Sound Energy, we found that we qualified for a large rebate to help defer the large initial cost. Further, we estimate that this upgrade will actually pay for itself in the next 2 1/2 years in the form of lower energy bills due to less energy use,� Walen said. The entire Ford of Kirkland team is pleased with the changes. “Not only did we go green with energy savings, but our technicians are quite pleased with the improved shop lighting,� Walen said. “We are real excited that our store is brighter and we are saving energy at the same time,� said Tom Olson, service director. “I look forward to taking advantage and using the savings to explore more ways to make our business green,� said Heather McVey, office manager.

Admission to new STEM School by lottery for some Plans for Lake Washington School District’s new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) School are beginning to take shape. When fully operational, the school will serve students in grades nine through 12. The academic program will focus on problem-based learning, inquiry, integration and research. Students and staff will use STEM education to pursue solutions to real world challenges like clean energy, infrastructure restoration and biomedical informatics. The school will open in the fall of 2012 with 150 ninth grade students and 150 10th grade students. The school will be open to all students in those grades no matter where they live in the district. Students will be selected through a lottery if more than 150 students per grade apply. Information on how to apply will be provided to parents of current eighth and ninth grade students. A high school options publication with information on all district high schools will be mailed in early December.

BREAST CANCER KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. KomenŽ funds patient navigator programs to ensure quality health care for all women. Last year, it provided $2 million dollars in grants to local organizations for screenings, breast health education, and treatment support. Imagine feeling a lump on your breast and not knowing where to turn. Or being diagnosed with breast cancer and having to navigate the maze of doctor appointments by yourself. If you don’t speak English, it’s even more overwhelming. Through its community grants program, the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. KomenŽ funds bi-lingual patient navigators like Agueda Fernandez-Webster. Their job is to ensure that women, in FernandezWebster’s case mostly low-income Latinas, are aware of the risks of breast cancer and have access to mammogram screenings that could save their lives. “Not only do patient navigators connect underserved women to medical and community resources, they help remove barriers by providing transportation and translation services,� said Cheryl Shaw, Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. KomenŽ executive director.

“My job is to empower my clients through knowledge and make getting a mammogram or being diagnosed with breast cancer a little less scary,� said Fernandez-Webster. “Knowing they have someone who speaks their language that they can rely on is a huge emotional relief.� La Mujer Hispana is a new Susan G. Komen initiative launched last month to promote early detection of breast cancer and increase the number of Hispanic women screened in the Komen Puget Sound Affiliate’s 16-county service area.
