‘Thank You Twice’ accused of fraud, theft by some patrons Customers report business did not uphold contracts; owner may file for bankruptcy BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

ants from designer True Religion can go for hundreds of dollars. Lululemon Athletica’s yoga outfits are also top-of-the-line garments. Juicy Couture’s designer sweats and t-shirts are sought after by many women.

A few have reported the store to the Better Business Bureau and at least four people have filed reports with the Kirkland Police Department. “We are actively investigating this to see if it is a civil matter or if there is theft here,” said Kirkland Police Det. Allan O’Neill.

One victim stated that the sale price of clothing sold at the store would be split 50/50 with the consigner, according to a police report filed with the Kirkland Police Department on Oct. 24. But many of the customers also want to know where Potter went. The Reporter obtained Potter’s cell phone number and attempted to contact him with no reply. The business’ phone has been disconnected and no reply was given to the company’s email. The business also had a website that was apparently [ more THANK YOU page 7 ]

The 15-year-old sophomore is one of about 30 students enrolled in a computer science class at LWHS that is part of Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS), a program that has Microsoft Corp. employees teaching high schoolers how computers work. Wilson said in today’s digital age, she sees the value in having such a class at the high school level.

Residents file nine appeals over controversial Potala Village project BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The proposed Potala Village mixed-use apartment complex along the Kirkland waterfront is making neighbors and the Kirkland City Council see red. The surrounding residents are upset at the scale of the proposed development. Council members saw a sea of red during the Oct. 18 council meeting as approximately 50 people showed up, all wearing red t-shirts, to protest Potala Village. Residents have also filed nine appeals with the city over the proposed project - a four-story building with 316 underground parking stalls located at 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South. “If you take a look at the number of dwelling units or houses (in the surrounding area) and you see the new proposed development, which is 143 units with 6,200 feet of retail, it is so far out of scale and I can’t understand where this thing came from,” said Peter Powell during the council meeting, showing an aerial view of the area. “If you look at it as part of a scale project with 143 units, you

can’t find one other piece of property around that is even close.” One of the biggest issues with this, and many other recently proposed developments in Kirkland, is the Comprehensive Plan, which often conflicts with zoning codes. The Comprehensive Plan is what city officials and residents use to determine what is best for the different neighborhoods in the city. The Growth Management Act requires cities to adopt a Comprehensive Plan. The plan aims to help the community and city agree on zoning regulations. The conflict between zoning laws and the Comprehensive Plan makes the Potala Village development highly controversial. “We’re building it within code,” said Lobsang Dargey in an Oct. 7 issue of the Reporter. “We’re not asking for a variance.” And he is right. The land is zoned BN or Neighborhood Business. That zoning code calls for the ground floor to have 75 percent commercial use, which Potala has planned for, with no restrictions to multifamily units above.

Apply for Kirkland Senior Council membership Membership applications for the Kirkland Senior Council (KSC) are being accepted through Nov. 7 for interested adults who live, work or serve adults age 50 and over in Kirkland. The KSC is an advisory board that makes recommendations to the Kirkland City Council on matters affecting Kirkland adults ages 50-plus. The KSC educates, promotes and encourages the advocacy of issues that have a positive impact on the health, safety and well being of older adults in the com-

But the Comprehensive Plan, approved in 2004, for the Moss Bay area has greater restrictions. The plan states that the area is a “Residential Market” and allows only for a “very small mixed-use building.” Potala Village would have 116 residential units per acre. “That is more than 10 times the density of anything built on or around those properties. That is a far cry from the 12 units per acre allowed in the Comprehensive Plan,” said neighbor Charles Greene, during the council meeting. “Allowing the density to be decided by the developer is not right. That should be decided by the city.” According to Steven Gillespie, an attorney representing the group, the council asked staff to address the discrepancy between the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning codes in 2004. However, city Planning Director Eric Shields said the city never intended to change the codes. “It was always presumed to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,” said Shields, noting city officials didn’t expect such a large de-

velopment on the property. Prior to 2004, the city had planned to review areas zoned as “Residential Markets.” “It kind of went away and never got back on the table,” said Shields. During the meeting, two council members seemed confused on what they could do about the situation. City attorney Robin Jenkinson advised that the council could implement an Interim Emergency Regulation that would change the zoning codes. No action was taken, but the council directed staff to prepare more information on the Potala project. Developers must abide by the zoning regulations that are in place when they apply for building permits, said Shields. Dargey has not yet applied for the permits. Residents have filed nine appeals over traffic issues that will be heard before the Hearing Examiner on Nov. 17. The group claims that is a record for one project in Kirkland. Each appeal filed cost individuals $207.

A neighborhood group put out fliers along Lake Street South last week informing residents of how the Potala Village project could impact the neighborhood. CONTRIBUTED But the group, which has approximately 100 members and has the backing of eight homeowner groups, plans to attend the hearing wearing their red t-shirts, even though the appellants are the only ones allowed at the meeting. One of the biggest reasons for the appeals is the addition of more cars to Lake Street, which is one of the most congested areas of Kirkland at rush hour. “I have thought about this, 143 units across the street with 200 to 300 parking spots right across from my driveway, now I can barely get in and out of that driveway as it stands,” said Jack Rogers, who lives across the street from the proposed site. In an effort to get greater support, the surrounding

residents distributed a flier in the neighborhood this week noting the scale of the proposed project. It says the Comprehensive Plan, zoning codes and city ordinances are in conflict. The flier also claims the developer plans to remove “over 3,000 truck loads of dirt.” It urges neighborhood residents to get involved and show up for council meetings to voice their opposition. Community organizers also hope to get the development scaled back for a second time. The original plan called for over 180 units. The group hopes that if all else fails, the Comprehensive Plan will be considered as part of development regulations during project review through the State Environmental Policy Act.

[4] November 4, 2011 [ VOTE from page 1] get ballots postmarked or returned to a ballot drop box. Kirkland resident Lynda Haneman noticed that she had not yet received her ballot when some residents commented about voting during an event on Oct. 23. “I started making calls on

www.kirklandreporter.com this a couple of days ago and I sent an email out to people surrounding my house,” said Haneman, vice chairperson of the Evergreen Hill Neighborhood Association who lives in the recently-annexed Kingsgate neighborhood. She heard back from several people in her neighborhood who informed

Haneman that they also did not receive their ballots. “I thought, okay, I need to call the Elections Office,” said Haneman. “It’s important to vote for any election, but especially in this election for those of us in this area. I wanted to make sure nobody lost out on that opportunity.” Kim van Ekstrom, Elec-

tions chief communications officer, said the department discovered the error thanks to the many voters like Haneman that contacted the office. “This isn’t a problem that we have ever experienced before,” said van Ekstrom. “Fortunately, we were able to identify every single voter affected by this and many

voters contacted us.” The Elections Department cited a technical problem with the voter database as the reason why the ballots were not sent out. The department constantly reviews calls to its phone bank to determine if there are any issues arising in the course of every election.

Although call volumes for the current election have been consistent with past elections, in the last couple of days, calls from voters about not receiving ballots in the mail were more concentrated in several Eastside areas than normal. “We investigated the matter and discovered a technical problem associated with part of our voter database that resulted in exclusion of these ballots from being mailed on the date originally scheduled,” said Sherril Huff, Elections director. “Quality assurance is an important component of our elections processes and while we regret that this event occurred, I’m pleased that the reviews we have in place helped us in identifying and problem solving the issue.” A small percentage of voters contact King County in the course of every election about not receiving their ballot. The Elections Department encourages voters to call the voter hotline (206296-VOTE) if this happens. Voters are encouraged to contact the Elections Department if they have not yet received a ballot in the mail or if they have any questions about voting in the November general election. Voters may also go to one of the accessible voting centers and vote in person. For information, visit www.kingcounty. gov/elections/voting/accessible.aspx.

he Kirkland Reporter, along with most newspapers, have a long-running and simple rule for submitting letters to the editor – sign your name. The idea of making a letter writer own their words serves many purposes. Most people are not going to outright lie in something that has their name on it. They may err by not doing their homework, but most people do not want to be known as a liar. Being ignorant on a subject is not so much of a faux pas in our society as attempting to make a point without the truth to back it up. And while some people may attempt to twist the truth and even fewer may lie, it still makes the writer think twice about their reputation with their neighbors. Signing your name makes it difficult to slander or demean an individual. If the subject takes issue with your words they only have to look at who wrote the column or letter to see where they should direct their anger. Journalists are held to the same standards as a letter writer. All journalists have to take credit for their work with a byline. It is a way to hold journalists to the old axiom of presenting a story as objectively as possible. It is also a way to let the community know who to thank or correct. Anonymous sources are also frowned upon in journalism. Although they are sometimes the only way to print information, every journalist knows that the public will heavily scrutinize a story with anonymous sources. The internet has taken letter writing into an area of anarchy. Nearly every story on a news site has a comment section at the bottom that acts as a digital letter to the editor. Anyone can have a voice. And while most news agencies attempt to moderate the section, it is a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Most websites make the user give an email address. But that does very little if someone wants to post a comment in obscurity and most of the time a sir name will do. That anonymity allows many to lie about topics to make a point. It allows many to post mean and hateful things about people without recourse. It is also a legal liability for newsrooms that don’t constantly police the comments. On Nov. 17 the Reporter will attempt to end the anarchy on its website and we have turned to Facebook for the answer. Our website readers will have to have a Facebook page in order to comment on a story, column or letter to the editor. Comments will be linked to that person’s personal Facebook page. The social networking site does due diligence in making sure that users are who they say they are. Yes, there are some who have multiple Facebook pages and use several aliases. But there is recourse. This system will help ferret out those people. In return, the commenters will have to take ownership of their words on our website. The implementation of this policy will hopefully bring a more civil and honest discourse among our readers. The new way of commenting will also be accompanied by a new policy of restricting comments on personal tragedy stories. While most people will not post hurtful words if their name is attached, some will do it inadvertently. We feel it is unnecessary to leave a comments section at the end of a personal tragedy story. Many who comment on such stories do so out of extreme emotion and without great thought. If you want to comment, do it the oldfashioned way, the way that newspapers have given their readers a voice for centuries – write a letter to the editor and mail it to: 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, WA 98034. Or, as the digital age has given us, email: letters@kirklandreporter.com.

Kirkland needs people like Gardiner

I would rather follow the advice of former Kirkland Mayor and current state Rep. Deb Eddie of the 48th District: “ … It’s critically important to bring people from the newly annexed areas onto the council …” I also know Don and Merrily that in the last election you had no qualms about supporting candidates who had little or no previous experience in being on boards or commissions before running for council. So apparently your concern about “on the job training” is because Jason is from the annexation area and “only recently became a citizen of Kirkland.”

Jody McCrain, Kirkland

We need Greenway’s wisdom on council We need to make sure that Jessica Greenway remains as a Kirkland City Council member, one who clearly represents ALL of us. With her depth of experience in Kirkland affairs, not only on council but prior to that as a Planning Commissioner, Parks Board chairperson, and founder of the South Rose Hill/Bridle Trails Neighborhood Association, she brings a broad perspective and deep understanding of Kirkland’s issues and history. Equally important, she is the one person on council who stands out as a person who shows up, asks questions, listens and responds. As a member of the Norkirk Neighborhood Association Board, I feel that citizens should know how much Jessica does for our neighborhoods — things big and small. She is present at many more neighborhood meetings than any other council member, she volunteers to maintain one of our traffic circles and helps others to do so, she always contributes when there is a project that needs funding or volunteers, and most significantly she is THERE to hear citizens’ concerns. She brings a balance to council as a person with a strong financial background and concern for keeping Kirkland’s economy strong, but who also cares about the average neighbor and truly shows up to stay informed and understand the concerns of all Kirkland’s citizens. Please re-elect Jessica Greenway - we need her wisdom and caring on council.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I noticed they sold more than clothes so I brought some more stuff in and picked up some stuff that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell,â&#x20AC;? said Schafer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt awkward asking for money and he assured me that he was going to mail it.â&#x20AC;? At that point Schafer was due $125 from two bags of shoes, jewelry and other various accessories and clothes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That stuff would be worth probably about $2,000 retail,â&#x20AC;? said Schafer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The frustrating part of this is that I never, at any point, received a phone call or email. Not even when the store closed. That is critical from an integrity standpoint and really makes me mad.â&#x20AC;? The last time Man was in the store she noticed how much merchandise Potter had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went down there he still had a lot of stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had so much inventory.â&#x20AC;? All of the alleged victims say they signed a contract with the store, which stated the clothes would either be sold, with payment coming back to the original owner. The second part of the contract stated that the original owner had the choice of picking up unsold clothes or having them donated to charities. Most chose to have the clothes returned.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me $100 is not a lot of money,â&#x20AC;? said Man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that â&#x20AC;Ś there was some stuff there that was my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and I told her I would get it to someone who would appreciate it.â&#x20AC;? Anyone who has consigned with Thank you Twice and did not recieve money or their contractually-bound items back should contact the Kirkland Police Department at 425-577-5656.

er professionals or adults interested in learning more about this growing issue. As baby boomers age and life expectancy increases, the population of older adults increases. In turn, the pool of potential victims increases. Combine this with a downturn in the economy, substance dependency issues, and what seems to be a growing need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep up with the Jonesâ&#x20AC;? and you can understand why elder abuse is on the rise. Elder abuse involves a wide range of topics, such

as physical, sexual, and mental abuse. Sometimes forgotten in this definition is financial exploitation. Financial exploitation involves a person who intentionally manipulates another for his or her own gain. The victims tend to be vulnerable adults who are targeted due to their medical, emotional, or psychological state. The victim may be lonely or suffering from dementia, whether diagnosed or not. Perpetrators may come from anywhere, including family members, caregivers, religious groups, social organizations, strangers, etc. Signs of potential abuse include the following: t $IBOHFT JO SPVUJOF

[ MARKET from page 8] very competitively, were sold more quickly and closer to their original listed price. In my observation, those homes have also been in excellent condition and well-updated. It seems we have weathered the poor housing market and economy much better than many of our neighbors and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting stronger every day. I see this as a testament to Kirklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime location

on Lake Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge, close proximity to many major employers, its strong community spirit and superb livability. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Kirkland resident thinking of selling, just keeping your home wellmaintained and upgraded and then pricing it well should bring you success.

LWHS football falls in finale BY MEGAN MANAGAN

ercer Island secured a last win of the regular season beating Lake Washington 52-7 on Friday, Oct. 28. Despite the loss, the Kangs played the final game of the season against Lakeside on Thursday night after Reporter deadline. Last Friday’s game started at Lake Washington with an 80-yard kickoff return for points with 11:48 on the clock by Steen Swedstedt, making it 7-0. Just a minute later the Islanders scored again, this time on a play involving a hand off from quarterback Jeff Lindquist to Brian Higgins, who lobbed it back to Lindquist, who tossed a 41-yard pass to Nicky Sinclair for a touchdown. The score was 14-0 with 10:15 to go in the first quarter. Blake Johnson scored on an 8-yard run with 5:45 on the clock, while Sinclair connected again on a 44-yard pass from Lindquist to make

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS ADVANCE TO STATE Both the Juanita and Lake Washington cross country teams will be represented at the state meet after earning spots during the SeaKing district meet Oct. 27. The runners will travel to Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco, Wash. for the Nov. 5 3A state race. During the district competition, held at Lake Sammamish State Park, the Juanita girls finished ninth place as a team with 199 points. Individually in the boys race Santos Zaid qualified for state after finishing 22nd overall with a 16:36 time. The top 25 runners made the state meet if their team did not qualify.

it 28-0 at the end of the first. Alex Wood began the second quarter with a 33-yard field goal for Mercer Island to up the score to 31-0, followed by an interception by Connor Bernal on the 17-yard line. He ran it in for the points. With 2:37 on the clock in the half, Lake Washington’s Jack Michels caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nick Young to score the only Kang points of the night. The score was 38-7. Before the half finished, Eric Stefanchik scored off a 91-yard pass from Higgins to make it 45-7 at halftime. During the first half the Islanders had amassed 270 yards, while holding Lake Washington to just 90 on the field. In the second half, the teams remained closer with Mercer Island gaining 75, and Lake Washington earning 48. The Kangs controlled the ball during the first half, despite the score, holding onto the ball for 14:30 minutes, while the Islanders had it for 9:30, with almost the exact same breakdown in the second half. After halftime, the Islanders scored in the third quarter when Higgins made a 6-yard run into the endzone, starting a running clock as the Islanders had 52 points. The fourth quarter was scoreless as the clock ran down, with the teams leaving the field under a 52-7 scoreboard. Mercer Island finished the regular season 7-2 overall and 6-1 in league. Lake Washington finished with a 2-7 overall record.

It’s nice to execute in that kind of situation.” Things didn’t begin nearly as well as they ended for Tarantola’s Rebels, which punted on the first drive

of the game before Todd galloped 83 yards to his first score of the night two plays later. Another punt and another Todd score, this time from a yard out, made it 14-0 at the end of the first quarter and had Interlake looking every bit the part of the top-seeded playoff team.

Rebels overcome Interlake in overtime BY JOSH SUMAN jsuman@bellevuereporter.com

When the Juanita defense needed it most, they got it, twice. The Rebels survived two fourth-andgoal runs from Interlake after an inadvertent whistle

on the first, and escaped Bergh Field with a 35-28 overtime victory over the 2A playoff bound Saints. An incomplete pass on third down set up the first of two plunges from allpurpose dynamo Jordan Todd, who neared the goal

line in a pile of defenders and blockers before the side judge inexplicably blew his whistle while the scrum was still being decided inside the one yard line. The Juanita defense and sideline believed the game

was over until officials came together and ruled the inadvertent whistle, meaning the ball would be re-spotted and the down played again. Todd took the snap directly before again fighting into the teeth of the Rebels’ defense

The planning process for TEALS began more than two years ago and last year was the program’s pilot year. The program was in four schools throughout the Puget Sound area. Now in its second year, TEALS has tripled in size with more than 800 students in 13 partner schools from four school districts. In the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), TEALS has also partnered with Juanita and Eastlake high schools. TEALS offers three classes: Introduction to Computer Science, Web Design and Advanced Placement Computer Science A. The first two classes are one term long, while the AP class is yearlong. The classes are offered during first period because Wang said many Microsoft employees don’t have a nine-to-five work schedule and have the free time at that hour. Wang said even though money and contracts are involved, donations and other funding has allowed schools to participate in the program at no cost to them.

computer science) would find it interesting so it would open up their perspective on things.” Wilson said she has also enjoyed learning about what has been happening at Microsoft. Wang — who doesn’t teach in the classrooms, but trains the TEALS instructors — said his team is made up of individuals who are at the top of their game and contacted by recruiters on a regular basis. He said with the level of expertise they offer, high schools can’t compete because not many computer and technology teachers have that kind of background. While the TEALS instructors have the technical background, very few have the teaching experience beyond being graduate school teaching assistants, which is why the Microsoft employees team up with a faculty member to help them with administrative duties, grades and other logistics involved in running a classroom. “You just don’t think about being a teacher,” TEALS instructor Rubaiyat Khan said about their lack of experience in this department. Leanne Fike, the LWHS teacher who partnered with Khan and her TEALS partner Robert Goins, teaches various career technology education (CTE) classes including web design and business applications at the school. She said this year was the first year the school would offer computer programming class and when TEALS came on board, she was able to go with their curriculum. Fike, who is in her 27th year of teaching, said she does not have much of a background in computers and said most of her time is just spent trying to keep up with the industry.

Wilson is enrolled in the introductory class and while she never intended to sign up for anything computer related, she said her experience so far has her reconsidering. She added that having the option to take a computer science class in high school would be beneficial for students interested in the field as well as those who are not. “I think it’s definitely good for the kids that are interested in it,” she said. story online… “(Students not interested in more kirklandreporter.com

Redistricting could force Finn Hill out of District 6 ments received at a public hearing we held earlier this year in the nearby Kingsgate community,â&#x20AC;? said Rod Dembowski a member of the King County Districting Committee in an email to the Denny Creek Neighborhood Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growth on the Eastside of the county has meant that we have had to shrink Eastside districts (in terms of geographic coverage) and expand formerly Seattle-centered districts. Lake Washington presents a geographic challenge, and requires that districts move north, or south, around the lake. We heard significant testimony from the Northshore suburban cities that they wished to remain in one council district.â&#x20AC;? The plan was submitted last week and the final chance for residents to comment came Tuesday. The meeting was the final of eight public comment sessions that were held during the summer from which the plan was devised. The plan would move Finn Hill from a district it shares with the rest of Kirkland, to District No. 1, which includes

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The race between King County Councilwoman Jane Hague and Mercer Island resident Richard Mitchell to represent District No. 6 is one of the most hotly contested races in the Puget Sound area. But for residents of Finn Hill, their vote may not matter in the end. The 2010 Census numbers forced the state and county to look at redistricting. A fivemember committee redrew the district lines and their proposal would move Finn Hill residents into Metropolitan King County Council District No. 1. The Census, which is taken every 10 years, shows an 11 percent increase in the county population. Districts must be redrawn with every Census to reflect population changes. Most of the population growth in King County came on the east side of Lake Washington since 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our committee has worked hard to keep communities of interest together and to incorporate community input, including com-

Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Shorewood, North Seattle and a portion of Woodinville. Many on Finn Hill are unhappy that they will be split from their new city, as the area was just annexed into Kirkland in June, said Scott Morris, president of the Denny Creek Neighborhood Association. Morris is also personally opposed to the Finn Hill neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redistricting, and said the new proposal doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Balancing all of the testimony received, and in order to comply with the mandate under the County Charter and state law, the committee and the Districting Master believe that the proposed map is a good resolution in light of all of the challenges posed by the shift in population during the last 10 years,â&#x20AC;? said Dembowski in the email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The newly proposed District 1 is 2/3 suburban city, and 1/3 Seattle in terms of population. Many suburban cities were, at their request, split into two county council districts, which presumably increases their access to members of

the county council. Following the Finn Hill annexation, Kirkland is now large enough that it is difficult to keep it in one county council district.â&#x20AC;? District No. 1 is represented by Bob Ferguson, who is not up for reelection this year. The change would also take parts of Seattle away from Ferguson and District No. 6 would gain parts of Redmond. The new district lines must be approved by January 15, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By law, the new district boundaries must be compact, contiguous, and composed of economic and geographic units,â&#x20AC;? states the King County website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the extent feasible, the districts must correspond with the boundaries of existing municipalities, election precincts, census tracts, recognized natural boundaries, and preserve communities of related and mutual interest. Population data may not be used for purposes of favoring or disfavoring any racial group or political party.â&#x20AC;? The districting committee was chosen by county council

A new proposal would move Finn Hill to District 1 for the King County Council representation as highlighted in this map. CONTRIBUTED ART members: two by Republicans, two by Democrats and the fifth was agreed upon by all of the council members. Former King County Superior Court Judge Terrence Carroll serves as chairman. The goal of the committee members was to bring all

districts close to the average of 215,000 people each. Three public hearings were held in May to gather community input. The committee released four draft district plans in June and scheduled four additional public hearings.

The Kirkland Parks and Community Services Department wants to know. Hence, they sponsored a couple open houses this week and sent an online survey seeking input from residents. Driving these efforts is the annexation last June of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate, which added more than 30,000 residents to the city. Michael Cogle, the deputy director of Kirkland Parks and Commut

and will help in setting priorities for future funding decisions. Sue Keller, board vice chair of Parks and Community Services, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outreach is an important part of what the city does.â&#x20AC;? Keller said that future designs and building will be based on what the community wants. According to Jenny Schroder, director of Parks and Community Services, the results of the open house events and survey will be discussed at the Park Funding Exploratory Committee meeting on Nov. 8 at Northwest University as well as the Park Board meeting on Nov. 9 at City Hall.

tions relating to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and trails. Those attending were able to rank priorities and voice their opinion on what should be done. For example, a large reader board asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What types of additional outdoor park and recreation facilities are needed in Kirkland, if any?â&#x20AC;? There were about 16 sticky note responses: ideas included community center pools, covered picnic table gazebo, spray park, more dog off-leash areas and all-season turf ball fields. Cogle said the information gathered from the survey and open houses will help the city improve its parks and programs

kids can do to maintain friendships while deflecting peer pressure, including using humor, suggesting a better idea or making an excuse and leaving. Families can agree on a code word or phrase for a teen to use when calling to indicate that there is trouble, knowing that a parent will come, no questions asked. Lastly, know your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and how they feel about their social status. Those who are more eager to be popular are more willing to compromise morals to fit in.

eer pressure is a reality of growing up. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of our control as parents, there are

Studies show that when a parent clearly disapproves of an activity, a child is less likely to participate. When children express and defend their own position with a caring adult, they gain extra confidence for times they will need to take a firm stand instead of following the crowd. As adults, we can help children think about what might work for them in various situations they can imagine. Telling a teen to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just say noâ&#x20AC;? or to â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk awayâ&#x20AC;? is overly simplistic and assumes that the child holds enough self confidence to risk social rejection. There are plenty of things

concerns and help them determine healthy boundaries for using drugs, drinking, having sex or engaging in illegal activities. Then help your children understand that if they give in and do something that is contrary to their core value system, they will feel distress and regret later. Be sure to let them know you will hold them responsible for their behavior and present specific, logical consequences.
