T

he future of law enforcement in Kirkland is centered on the Totem Lake neighborhood. The new public safety building will expand the city’s Municipal Court, give Kirkland Police officers more room and provide a central location for all

law enforcement duties. The building is due to open in 2014. “That’s huge for our response,” said Kirkland Police Chief Eric Olsen, noting the building will also be visible in the new center of Kirkland, near businesses and transit. The expansion of the force due to annexation and a growing city has made the need for a change. “In the existing footprint of City Hall we’re squished,” said Olsen. “We’ve taken conference rooms [ more POLICE page 19 ]

Kirkland resident and Google engineer Steve Lacey, who was killed July 24 during an alleged road rage accident, was remembered Sunday afternoon during a memorial service as a loving man who cared about his friends, and most importantly his family. “I know we will never see our wonderful husband, father, son and brother again, but he will always be in our hearts and minds,” said Lacey’s mother Janet, during the memorial service held in Bellevue at East Shore Unitar-

A lot of buttin’ heads at first ‘Goatalympics’ BY PEGGY KUNKEL UW News Lab

Greg Sheehan of Kirkland speaks affectionately about his Nigerian dwarf goats, Ben and Cooter. “These are my boys, not unlike any two 5-year old brothers. I refer to myself as the ‘old goat’ and Benny and Cooter, the ‘two young goats,’” he says. Sheehan and his “boys” recently won eight ribbons in the Goatalympics held July 9 at Evergreen State Fairgrounds. When Sheehan first heard about

this event, he decided right away that his goats would participate. The competition was the brainchild of a Ellen Felsenthal who rescues, rehabilitates and tries to find families to adopt animals no longer wanted, Sheehan said. More than 40 events were held throughout the day to raise funds for New Moon Goat Rescue and Sanctuary. According to Sheehan, “On the day of the event, you just hope they will [ more GOATS page 18 ]

n 1968, former Bellevue resident James Dalgaran bought his wife, Irene, an unusual gift for Mother’s Day - a 1931 Model A Ford. Forty-three years, numerous parades, and a complete restoration later, this gift has remained in the family as a valued memento. Model A cars were conceptualized by Henry Ford in the late 1920s and were one of the first cars built on the assembly line, an innovation that was designed to make cars affordable so that every family could own one. Dalgaran, 89, said he has always been fascinated by antique cars and has been a member of the National Model A Car Club for 50 years. But his fascination did not stop there. According to his wife, Dalgaran and a couple of his friends thought it would be “real fun� to tear the car down to the ground and put it back together again like a “picture puzzle� in 2000. “It took them almost three years to accomplish this,� said Irene. “But they had a wonderful time and it turned out beautifully.� She watched him and his friends build it in their garage on Whidbey

Island, sometimes working as often as five days a week over the nearly three years. “They loved doing it,� she said. “There’s no one who loves cars more than the old Model A people.� The Dalgarans’ car will be one of hundreds featured in the 13th Annual Antique and Classic Car Show on Aug. 20. It will take place from 2-4 p.m. at Kirkland Life Care Center. The event is free and open to the public. “It’s a chance for the community to interact with the residents that are here,� said Linda Riel, the activities assistant at Kirkland Life Care Center. “This is something they look forward to every year.� For the residents at the center, the show is a chance to reminisce about automobiles and reflect on memories that are triggered from seeing the cars they once drove. “For some residents like (Dalgaran), the Model A was their first car so it gives them a stroll down memory lane,� said Riel. Dalgaran was receiving rehab at the Center when many residents noticed his unique car in the parking lot. Residents were enlivened when they saw the remod-

eled vehicle and eagerly took photos with it. It also caught the attention of the directors, who asked him if it could be part of the car show. It was not the first time the Dalgarans’ car received attention from strangers. The vehicle is noisy when driven and has a horn that goes “ahooga� when rung. Irene said the first time they drove the car into their neighborhood, all the children in the vicinity ran up to see what it was because it was so unusual. She also noted that the Model A had a rumble seat an exterior seat in the rear of the car that became the ideal place to give the neighborhood kids a ride since it was only big enough for children. The car has also been featured in many July Fourth parades in local cities such as Bothell and on Whidbey Island, she added. As for the Dalgarans’ own three kids, they grew up with the car and have many fond memories of it. Irene reminisced about how her son used to drive it to Interlake High School in Bellevue where it would receive a great deal of attention while parked in the parking lot.

Tucked in a quiet, forested corner a few blocks from the busy freeway, warmth is materializing amidst this cooler July at the Madison House Retirement and Assisted Living. During the last month, Madison House residents have worked nimbly to create 30 fleece blankets that were donated to Evergreen Hospice on July 19. Bert Fisher, Madison House resident and Evergreen Hospice volunteer, inspired the project. “People needed a blanket to cover their lap when they went out,� he explained, referring to terminally ill patients at the Hospice. “One old gentleman said to me, ‘Young fella, I’m cold. Will you get me a blanket?’� Soon after, Fisher and his wife, Marilyn, decided to make the blankets. The couple has acted as the “spark plug� for the project, encouraging other Madison House residents to work on the blankets, as well. [ more HOSPICE page 8 ]

COMMENTARY

Question of the week:

Steve Lacey lived an extraordinary life but died while running a most ordinary errand. The forty-three year old father of two was born and raised in England where he showed an aptitude for computers as a child. His career path led him to Microsoft, then Google, where his skills as a programmer and innovator catapulted him to the top of his profession. Steve Lacey was on his way to Costco on Sunday afternoon, July 24, and was sitting in traffic, waiting for a light to change when his life ended. A minute before he was tragically killed, a 52-year old driver, Patrick Rexroat, was allegedly speeding southbound on I-405, carrying three and a half times the legal limit of alcohol in his bloodstream, and chasing a car that he thought had cut him off in traffic. While in hot and drunk pursuit of the other driver, Rexroat failed to negotiate the turn he attempted at high speed and slammed into the driver’s side door of Steve Lacey’s car, killing him instantly. Witnesses report that the 52-year old Rexroat got out of his car and pounded his chest in a defiant gesture. When he was told that he had killed another person he shrugged his shoulders and started to walk away. Drunk drivers kill an average of 250 motorists each year in our state. Sometimes they kill themselves, but often they emerge unscathed while an innocent life is taken. Given this annual carnage, you would think that the law would throw the book at DUI killers, if for no other reason than to protect ourselves and our highways. What sort of justice awaits the victim’s family, the community and the defendant in this case? The answer is as infuriating as the crime. Under Washington State

sentencing guidelines, the killer of Steve Lacey faces no more than 41 months in prison, minus one-third of the sentence that will almost certainly be reduced for good behavior. That means that vehicular homicide offenders actually are removed from our streets for less than 2 and half years. Does that make you feel safer about running your next errand? Oregon, Idaho, and Steve Lacey’s England all have laws that keep a DUI killer behind bars for two or three times as long as Washington’s law. Last year the Legislature considered HB 1646, which would have put a DUI vehicular homicide sentence on par with a first-degree manslaughter sentence, or up to eight and a half years. Why should a drunk who kills with a two-ton automobile

be treated more leniently than a person who recklessly handles a gun? A legislative hearing room was packed with families like Steve Lacey’s who begged the committee to change the law. The bill did not get out of the Judiciary Committee. Prosecutors throughout the state have the dreadful task of explaining to grieving families like the Laceys that the drunk driver who killed their loved one will be back on the road in about two years. It is an indefensible state policy, and we must change it now, for the safety of each of us who travel on the road.

Dan Satterberg is the King County Prosecuting Attorney.

Kirkland deserves better than Sternoff In 2009, Kirkland City Councilman Bob Sternoff, who is running for reelection, admitted to sending hundreds of inappropriate and lewd emails to his girl friend, wrote emails that made disparaging remarks about fellow Kirkland City Council members, and even comments about the public. This was all done by Mr. Sternoff during city council meetings and study sessions. He used the City of Kirkland servers to send his messages, and now he wants your vote for a second term. Are you kidding? If he had any sense of ethics, he would have stepped down during his first term when it was discovered how he spent his time during council meetings. To add insult to injury, the tax payers of Kirkland paid legal fees to investigate his actions. Now he wants us to vote for him and forget about his lack of professional ethics. Mr. Sternoff ’s campaign signs say, “I work for you”. Afraid not! You may represent the business community, but you don’t represent me. The Kirkland City Council has been dragging its feet on developing a code of ethics. For well over a year, they have debated about an ethics code, but they have made little progress. Perhaps it’s a problem of having

the fox guard the hen-house.

Approve Prop. 1, Veterans and Human Services Levy Our men and women in uniform are currently involved in the longest deployment in the history of our nation. Whether it be in Afghanistan, Iraq, or elsewhere, they have fought for their country for over a decade, most serving an average of 3-4 tours, leaving loved ones behind, uncertain whether they’ll ever see them again. But when they return home, too often these veterans do not find the support they deserve. That is why we urge you to approve Proposition 1 on your August 16th primary ballot, and join us in renewing the King County Veterans & Human Services Levy. Importantly, this is not a tax increase but simply a continuation of the Levy, which has been collected for the past 5 years. Since it was first approved by voters in 2005, the Levy has helped more than 82,000 veterans, their families, and others in need. It helps them find jobs, housing, and treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). But this vital

funding will end this year if the Levy is not renewed. As elected officials, we are charged with representing our citizens and providing them efficient and effective public services. The Veterans Levy is one of the bestmanaged programs we have seen to date. Two citizen oversight boards track and evaluate every dollar spent. As a result, 84% of veterans served by Levy programs have improved their housing, employment, or income, and 95% of those receiving treatment for PTSD have shown reduced symptoms. These are real results. Pete Smith was a Marine for 5 years and served honorably in Iraq. Returning home after his deployment, Pete struggled to readjust to civilian life. When staff from the King County Veterans Project met him, he was living in his truck and suffering from PTSD. Levy funded programs helped him find a home and get back into school. He’s now a full-time student and founder of the Bellevue College Association of Veterans, which helps other veterans succeed after leaving the service. Today, there are far too many veterans like Pete returning to an economic recession like few of us have ever seen, returning home to homelessness. They need our help

now more than ever to get back on their feet after serving their country. For roughly $17 a year for the typical homeowner, we can ensure services are available to provide Veterans and their families the help they need and have certainly earned.

Free screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm Local physicians in Kirkland are teaming up with a national

awareness campaign to help stop a “silent killer.” Lake Washington Vascular and the Find the AAAnswers national awareness campaign will offer free health screenings Aug. 13 to detect a deadly vascular condition called abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAA is a silent killer because it has no symptoms but there are more

than one million people living with an undiagnosed AAA. It’s the third leading cause of sudden death in men over 60, but a simple ultrasound screening can detect it before it’s too late. The free screenings will take place from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and advanced registration is required. To register call 206-2902361.

driver of the other vehicle was dead, as she had checked Lacey’s pulse. Rexroat replied: “eh” and walked away. According to court documents, a state trooper asked Rexroat just after the accident how much he had to drink and the man replied “way too much.” The trooper stated that Rexroat had blood-shot watery eyes and extremely slurred speech. The trooper stated in court documents that while at Evergreen Hospital Rexroat said: “I can’t go to prison. Just can’t do it. I’ll kill somebody again,” and “shoot me right here,” while pointing his figure at his head. Rexroat told the trooper that he was cut off by another car on 405, got angry and was attempting to follow the car when he exited the freeway. “It is difficult to explain to a family who has lost a loved one in this random and senseless way that the perpetrator will face such a short punishment,” said Satterberg. At the request of the prosecutor’s office, Rexroat’s bail was increased from $50,000 to $1 million. “The tragic death of Steve Lacey was not an accident,” said Satterberg. “It was the predictable result of aggressive driving under extreme intoxication.” Rexroat will be arraigned on August 9 at 8:30 a.m. at the King County Courthouse.

Charlie’s Flame-Broiled Burgers serve up everything but ordinary has been in the burger business since he was 14 years old. The Kirkland location is the seventh Charlie’s he’s opened up and is now the only one in existence. Urenda had been watching the building on Kirkland’s Lake Street for a few years, and when it became available he moved Charlie’s from downtown Seattle to Kirkland. “I knew downtown Kirkland would be the perfect location” for the next Charlie’s, Urenda said. Apparently it was, as

BY LAUREN DIRE UW News Lab

Charlie’s Flame-Broiled Burgers, “not your ordinary neighborhood joint,” recently opened its new location in Kirkland. “It’s one of those secrets,” Steve Lamson, a Kirkland burger enthusiast, said of the restaurant. “The burgers are flame-broiled, a good grade of beef, not greasy. The steak fries are huge and everything’s fresh.” Charlie Urenda, the owner of Charlie’s FlameBroiled Burgers, said he

Lamson is one of many who’s discovered the restaurant just while walking along Lake Street. He saw the sign that read “not your ordinary neighborhood joint” and decided to give it a try, he said. After sampling the avocado burger he was hooked. “It’s unbelievable. It’s your old-fashioned burger,” Lamson said. “Places like this don’t exist anymore.” In addition to their flame-broiled burgers, Charlie’s also offers 12 flavors of wings.

“We’ll custom-make sauces for customers,” Urenda said. “Sometimes they’ll take the spicy barbecue and mix it with the honey barbecue. Or mix the sweet garlic with the spicy garlic. They like to mix and match our flavors.” While the most popular chicken wings are the honey barbecue and the original, both Urenda and his son, Josh, prefer the spicy wings. “This guy can sit down and eat 20 wings no problem,” Urenda said of Josh. When it comes to Charlie’s Flame-Broiled Burgers, appetite is key. “You can’t go in there semi-hungry,” Lamson said. He recalled the time he first visited Charlie’s and saw his burger. “The thing must have stood 6 inches high,” he said. Each burger at Charlie’s comes with a side of steak fries, but customers can substitute the fries for onion rings, fried mushrooms or even mozzarella sticks. The prices range from $8.49 for your basic hamburger (with Charlie’s secret sauce, of course)

Josh Urenda is the son of Charlie Urenda, who owns Charlie’s FlameBroiled Burgers in Kirkland. LAUREN DIRE, UW Newslab

to $12.99 for the “manly burger,” which is an entire pound of beef in one patty. Although the prices aren’t the lowest around, “you get what you pay for” when it comes to the caliber and size of the meal, Lamson said. “We offer a quality burger,” Urenda said. “We use 100 percent fresh-ground chuck and we make all of our sauces in house. It’s a grown-up burger. It’s not a kiddy burger.”

Charlie’s Flame-Broiled Burgers is located at 1006 Lake Street South Kirkland and is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. From the mouth of Charlie himself: “Come try us out, enjoy a good burger.”

QFC PROUDLY SUPPORTS SEATTLE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

In early March, members of our QFC Corporate Office team put a few hours of their own time toward helping achieve an extremely important goal – raising $1 million dollars for Seattle Children’s Hospital. The event was Jackie and Bender’s 10th annual “One Big Kiss for Seattle Children’s Hospital Radiothon,” a 2 day fundraiser which was broadcast live from the Hospital. Radio hosts Jackie and Bender brought the stories of Children’s patients, families, staff and volunteers to their listeners across our region, who responded with generous donations. QFC associates helped answer phones to take pledges from these callers and during the event, QFC provided two $5,000 miracle matches: t

QFC’s first $5,000 match generated 96 gifts totaling $7,894

t

QFC’s second $5,000 match generated 148 gifts totaling $10,440

Overall, our $10,000 match motivated 244 people to donate $18,334 to Seattle

Children’s and the event did meet its goal – the radiothon raised $1,090,396.72! “I was grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a worthy cause. My older brother, Christopher, was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 2 and Children’s Hospital was a very large part of the first nine years of his life and the first seven years of mine. Dr. Barbara Clark was our primary care physician and she took a special interest in our family. She is now retired but will forever be considered a member of our family. My brother was expected to not live through the night on more than one occasion, lost his hair 3 times due to radiation treatment, and the suffering and worry my parents must have experi-

enced with every cold and flu throughout those years is unimaginable. The hospital and its staff were supportive beyond what was expected. They helped where it was truly necessary. I am proud to be able say that my big brother has been in complete remission since his late childhood and is happily married with a wonderfully bright adopted son.” – Josh Dooley, QFC Shrink Manager This summer, we all have the same opportunity to aid Seattle Children’s in their mission to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. Starting August 7th and running through September 3rd,

Seattle Children’s Hospital will be QFC’s Check Stand Charity Partner. QFC customers can donate at any check stand using the $1, $5, or $10 scan cards, by dropping change in coin boxes or by designating their 3 cent bag reuse credit as a donation to Seattle Children’s. In addition, QFC will make a donation of $10,000 to the Hospital. Your willingness to donate will make a difference in the lives of children and their families, and that is something to celebrate!

Juanita Bay Park: Then and now

History Originally the wetland area was part of the lake, but in 1916 when the Montlake Cut was dug, the lake lowered about 9 feet. In the early 30’s Guy Ferrar bought the land

and built a nine-hole golf course. (Golfers may be interested in knowing that a Kirkland native, Joanne Gunderson Carner, who learned to play on this course, is honored in the World Golf Hall of Fame.) In the 70’s the land was slated for residential development, but luckily the city council and Kirkland residents were eager to save it. A couple of park bonds successfully passed in the 70’s and 80’s that enabled the City of Kirkland to purchase the “old golf course” and wetlands. Over the years the city acquired additional properties in Forbes Valley that now make the entire park more than 120 acres. Nona Ganz

uanita Bay Park is one of the largest and most loved passive parks in Kirkland. Not only do Kirklanders enjoy it, but people from around the region visit it because of the lovely setting and because of the abundant and varied wildlife. Due to the large wetland area, it is a fabulous urban wildlife sanctuary that supports more than 200 species of birds and numerous species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects and fish. Some of these animals reside there all year and others are there only temporarily while they stop there on their migration routes. There is always something new and interesting to see in the park!

Present Over the years, invasive plants such as Himalayan blackberries moved in and took over large areas in the wetland buffer and in the upper wooded area. Today a number of restoration projects are underway to remove many of

the invasive species and to replant the areas with a large variety of native vegetation. More than 7,200 new plants have been placed in the last few years that will benefit the wildlife in the park by providing better habitat and a more diverse menu. Those plants will help attract even more birds! The restoration work is being done by The Green Kirkland Partnership, which consists of the city, volunteers, community groups, EarthCorps, businesses and by a couple of Native Plant Society groups. To read more about the Green Kirkland Partnership, please Google Kirkland Parks or go to www.kirklandwa. gov/depart/parks/Green_ Kirkland_Partnership. htm.

of the upcoming events. We welcome individuals, groups, clubs, schools, businesses - anyone who would like to help! If an individual, business or a group would like to maintain a section of the park on an on-going basis, we could arrange for

that. If someone would like to donate financially to the restoration effort, it would be most appreciated as plantings and EarthCorps work require money. If there is some other way you would like to help, please let us know and we will try to make it work. What else you can do: Take a guided tour with a park expert. Tours begin at 1 p.m. the first Sunday

of each month. Look at “Kirkland’s Wildlife of Juanita Bay,” a very nice book, by Aaron Baggenstos. If you have any questions about the park, please contact me at nonaganz@frontier.com. Lastly, enjoy the park!

Kirkland resident Nona Ganz is a steward of Juanita Bay Park.

[10] August 5, 2011 [ HOSPICE from page 4] Karen Thoresen, activities director, has witnessed the Fisher’s unique role first hand. “They’re a couple that can rally and motivate other people to get involved in projects,� she said. To make the blankets, several women, along with Fisher, carefully cut strips along the edges of a large square of fleece. Another piece of identically cut fleece is layered on top of the first, and the

www.kirklandreporter.com strips are tied in knots. The result is a thick, fiveby-six foot blanket. Resident Lu Harrison helped make blankets alongside many of her friends. “It was just an act of love,� she said. “He (Fisher) was there every day. He really helped a lot.� According to Fisher, the project was simply, “a nice thing to do.� A couple years ago, he also organized to have hummingbird feeders placed outside Hospice patient’s

windows. Before Fisher retired 14 years ago, he was too busy to volunteer. Still, as the president of his company, Northwest Protective Service, he was a self-proclaimed “people person.� Frequently, he would visit his security guards during the night to drop off food or extra coats. Now, his dedication to making blankets serves the families of loved ones in hospice at Evergreen. Often, the blankets become keepsakes for family members, and a way to remember their loved one. To Fisher, the blankets symbolize warmth, happiness, and peace of mind. House resident Minnie Tachiyama still uses the blanket given to her late husband, Jack. “He’s gone now, but I still use it when I go to football games,� she said, smiling. The blankets presented Tuesday were patterned with bright orange flowers or steel blue Seahawks logos. “They’re a cheery thing to give away,� Fisher

said. For one friend, nicknamed “The Colonel,� he made a camouflaged blanket a few years ago. The project has taken place since 2006, and was made possible this year by a $2,000 grant from the Evergreen Hospice Auxiliary. Thoresen calls the donation a win-win situation. “It gave us something to do, and we were contributing to a good cause,� she said. Fisher plans to continue the project next year, as long as fleece is donated again. He also hopes to return to the Hospice as a volunteer. A heart operation took him away for a year, but he is almost fully recovered. “The hummingbird feeders and the blankets were two of the best things I’ve done in my life,� he said. “It’s very gratifying to volunteer there. I’m ready to go back again.� Evergreen Hospice accepts volunteers from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Call 425-899-1070.

system covers roughly 55 percent of the cost to raise a child today. Many of these kids enter the foster care system with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. Any way they can, the Gaskills support families who take in these siblings. Sibling House started in 1997 helping to support seven children in foster care. Today they now reach nearly 500 children in three states. For those of us who are not familiar with the life of a foster parent, the call to take yet more children into your home often comes without notice. Placing these children is an immediate need that must be filled. They are exhausted and often traumatized. What must it be like for a child who has been ripped

away from their parents? They are involuntarily forced to live with people they have never met. What a comfort it must be for those who are fortunate enough to be with their siblings. For many foster parents the difference between an answer of “yes” or “no” to taking both or even more siblings can be determined by something as simple as enough beds, or clothing. Or, the challenge may be as monumental as the need for a larger vehicle to accommodate so many children. Like every non-profit, Sibling House depends on the generosity of people like you and me.

Four retirement moves to make

G

ive yourself a pat on the back. You thought the day would never come, but here you are very close to retirement. Sure, you’ve been saving and planning all along, but there are a number of steps you can take today to help you transition easily and stress-free to the next stage of your life. 1. Visualize retirement. Experts say it is better to “retire to” than to “retire from.” So, prior to checking out from your 9-to-5, spend some time thinking about what you want to do in retirement. Of course there are a few great dream vacations you want to take, but what will your everyday life look like? Is there a hobby you want to pursue? Will you volunteer in your community? Will you work part-time? Some pre-retirees take a vacation week and stay at home and live as if they were retired in order to get a real sense of the rhythm of retirement. Keep

in mind that you and your spouse may have conflicting timetables or different definitions of the ideal retirement, so make some time to discuss your dreams and resolve any differences that may arise. 2. Take field trips. If you’re considering a major move in retirement, plan on a little travel to check out potential new homes. Remember, it’s a lot different to live in a location than it is to vacation there. Your checklist for evaluating a new community should include everything from a suitable year-round climate, cost of living, and quality medical facilities to access to cultural and sporting events, outdoor recreation and continuing education programs. Also, don’t underestimate the importance of keeping your family and friends within reach. 3. Save more. Although you may have always been a disciplined saver, your peak earning years afford you a valuable opportunity to boost your retirement contributions significantly. Remember, if you’re over 50 years of age, there’s a federal catch-up provision that enables you to contribute an extra $5,000 into your employer’s retirement savings plan. Anything extra you sock away in these last few years of your working life could have a positive impact on how you will live for the rest of your life. 4. Double-check your retirement funding calculations. The traditional rule of thumb has been that you need 70-80 percent of your pre-retirement income to live on during retirement. However, recent studies, and what I see in my practice, suggest that people tend to underestimate retirement expenses. All that leisure time, including travel, can lead to more spending. And healthcare costs continue to rise dramatically. For the first few years of retirement it’s now considered safer to use 100 percent of your current expenses to figure retirement funding.

“It seems like such a simple concept. Keep siblings together while they are in foster care. But it isn’t that easy.” These are the words of Michael Gaskill, cofounder of Sibling House, a non-profit organization in Kirkland. For more than 14 years, Mike and Lynne Gaskill have championed the cause to keep siblings together while they are in foster care. From their modest home in Juanita, they work to provide clothing, toys, bedding, furniture, school supplies, tutoring, transportation and enrichment programs for children in foster care. In some cases, the support of Sibling House is the only thing that allows foster parents to bring all of the siblings from one family into their home. If that isn’t enough, the Gaskills also offer mentoring to other foster parents, as they have fostered and then adopted six children of their own. The state foster care

Finally, staging patios and porches is important. From family gatherings to al fresco meals, these hot spots get lots of use. Start your staging with a thorough cleaning. Power washing decks, patios, and furniture can make dirty items look new again. For furniture that needs a bit more TLC, apply a fresh coat of paint. Next, stage for an “event.� Replace wornout cushions and invest in simple outdoor accessories. A selective

arrangement of candles, glasses, and even a nice table setting can be the icing on the staging cake. The bottom line is that caring for the indoor AND outdoor living spaces of your home can make or break a sale during the summer.

child, so practice positive thinking so you don’t feel bad! Remember, though, not everyone is the sort to dash into a situation and feel immediately comfortable. Some like to find a quiet spot to watch before venturing out. Adults should acknowledge those children’s powers of observation and gently help them feel comfortable in more parts of the room. Some like to shadow a teacher before wanting to go off on their own. Adults can let those children know how appreciated their companionship is and slowly introduce them to other children. Some have to voice objections every single day before arriving at school and by doing so, release their anxieties.

If you ask, “Are you ready for me to go?� you can imagine the answer. If you keep saying that you’re going and don’t, or if you keep coming back for one more hug, your child may become more and more upset.

espite our less than summery summer, maybe you and your family have still had some swimming time. How do you like to first get in the water? How does your child? Are you so eager you just jump right in, splashing and laughing? Do you like to dabble your toes first and get used to the temperature? Are there days when you just want to stretch out on a lounge chair, reading a book, and your child just wants to play near but not in the water? Just like your feelings about getting in the water, you and your child have many feelings about “jumping into school�. How can your eager ones, cautious ones, and really-not-so-sure ones “test the waters� and all end up feeling positive and successful? At home, you can help your child develop a comfortable anticipation for school. You can “play school�. With stuffed animals, puppets or dolls, children can practice how to ask for a turn with a toy or how to join a group who are already playing together. You can reinforce how to ask teachers or other children for help, thus empowering your child. Besides pretending to be “the student�, children like the power of being the one in charge and telling their grown-ups what they need to do! It’s helpful to keep a positive, calm attitude about school, even if YOU are the not-so-sure one. Establish ahead of time some kind of good-bye ritual that you use whenever you separate (even if it’s only to the bathroom!) Possibly, you have a secret wink or a special combination of hugs and kisses or some silly goodbye rhyme. When the first day of school arrives, even all these preparations may seem to fail. Still, it’s best to keep the positive, calm approach. Use your special good-bye and reassure your child that you will be back after school. Since young children hear us talk about their “school day�, please be sure to specify how long school really is --- morning children’s parents come back before lunch, for

www.kirklandreporter.com when designing a jail because the populations have to be separated. “Prisoners are booked and released from jail 24 hours per day, seven days per week. More than 2,500 prisoners were admitted into the Kirkland jail in 2010. On an average day a prisoner is admitted or released from the Kirkland jail every two hours,” said KPD Capt. Michael Ursino in a memo to council. The average daily jail population was 56 prior to annexation, with the overflow being contracted out to other facilities in the area. Between 2002-2010, the total daily population for the Kirkland Jail and all contracted facilities increased by 50 percent. In 2010, Kirkland had the seventh highest incarceration rate compared to population in King County, with Auburn topping the list with a 106.6 average daily population. Projections show that by 2025 the Kirkland Police Department will have an average of 149-166 prisoners per day. Those contracted beds cost the city $1.6 million in 2011 alone. “Fifty (beds) is really an unrealistic number because of the efficiencies that we gain from not having to transport over material distances,” said Asher. “The payback is just astronomical.” It also takes up a significant amount of work hours. “Transport consumes a significant amount of the corrections staff time ... Staff estimates that as much as 35 percent of the total available corrections division staff time is consumed by transport activities,” said the memo from Ursino. Assistant City Manager Marilynne Beard was quick to point out that there will always be a need for some prisoner transport to other facilities because there are some prisoners with special needs the city will never be equipped to deal with. But a larger facility means more options. “The city’s ability to maxi-

that have been identified, will increase the project size by 12,000 square feet. Moving the KPD to the new public safety building will also free up room in City Hall for new city staff. “The new public safety facility will be a tremendous asset, not only for the community, but also for the police department,” said Olsen. “Ultimately, my goal is to have rooms available for community meetings or make it a real center piece in the community so people can come to it for whatever they need.” The additional construction will mean a review through the State Environmental Protection Act and by the city’s Design Review Board. Both processes will provide an opportunity for public comment on the project. The city plans to keep the public updated on the progress of the project through a Web page and Neighborhood Hot Sheet, a project newsletter and “Totem Lake: On Track,” presentations to neighborhood associations, email notifications by request, the city newsletter articles and Currently Kirkland TV show highlights.

A memorial service was held July 31 at the church. What stands out about Rachel, Johnson noted, is that for her 9th birthday wish, she partnered with charity instead of asking for presents. A goal of raising $300, to help supply clean drinking water to children in African villages, has been exceeded beyond anyone’s expectations. She hit $220, and “while most people would have considered this a success, Rachel wasn’t satisfied. She immediately determined that next June, on her 10th birthday, she would figure out a way to raise more money,� read a message on the church’s Web site. In Rachel’s honor, Eastlake churchgoers and many other people who have heard about her story are continuing her dream. More than 21,000 people have donated money.

Hersman currently lives at the Life Care Center of Kirkland, but spent the majority of her life at a residence along Northeast Lynden, an area she lovingly refers to as the Northwood Corner. “She’ll tell you what’s on her mind,” Wendy Mejia, the environmental director at Life Care Center, said of Hersman.

‘Keeping the trails alive’: Volunteer keeps parks walkable A seven-year South Juanita resident, Clarke is delighted to offer his trail maintenance expertise to the Kirkland community. “I’m a guy who can’t sit still,” he said. “There’s so much too that needs to be done in this world, and there’s plenty of opportunity.” Clarke has done anything but sit still during his life. As a student, he studied at University of Washington and then University of Southern California, earning a degree in accounting. He then worked as a consultant. “That got me involved in manufacturing, processing, and engineering,” he said. “(It was) a lot of creative sorts of things, and trail building is creating.” He went on to work in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and eventually Hong

As the weather grows warmer, walkers and joggers increasingly utilize Kirkland trails. Local trails such as those at Cotton Hill Park and Crestwoods Park have been renovated in the last few years, thanks to volunteers. Stu Clarke stands apart as one of Kirkland’s most cheerful and willing volunteers. In 2008, he donated more than 100 hours toward building a turnpike at the Cotton Hill Park trail site, and regularly checks up on several Kirkland trails. “They’re out there for people to enjoy,” he said of the trails, “and if they’re muddy, rocky, and unsafe people aren’t going to walk on them. I want people who are not outdoor enthusiasts to walk on the trails.” t

ing from nearby streams and springs. He aims to construct a way for water to flow off the trail. Usually, he builds “waterbars,” which capture flowing water and guide it away from the path, into the woods. “It’s a portable dam,” he said. Recently, he has observed the growth of new weeds along the Cotton Hill Park trail. While weeds are a hassle to gardeners, Clarke explained that the plants help hold soil down, which prevents mud. Since his days abroad, Clarke’s life has slowed down a little. Currently, he has no new projects beyond properly maintaining his past work, but he enjoys reminiscing about the generosity of fellow volunteers on trail projects. “I would still be there today, building, if not for them.”

Kong. During his time in Hong Kong, Clarke combined his love of hiking and background in Boy Scouts to organize a Scouts troop for American boys living with their parents in Hong Kong. He later received permission from the International School in Hong Kong to include boys from all nationalities. The group hiked all over Eastern Asia, including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. “I’ve been lucky enough to backpack not every place in the world, but a lot of places,” he said, smiling. Eventually, his work with the Boy Scouts led to nine years of involvement with the Scouts World Training Committee. In 1996, he was invited to celebrate the King of Sweden’s 50th birthday party.

cionados. They spent lots of their time travelling together and going on fishing trips in their camper. She also fondly remembers traveling around the perimeter of the U.S. Lewis, her husband of 64 years, passed away in 1995 due to emphysema. Her family currently sends emails to stay in contact with her, since she can’t hear on the phone, and they opened her a Facebook account. The computer she received at age 80 makes this communication possible. Sharlene Hague, Hersman’s daughter, said her mother’s long life is attributed to the fact that she grew her own vegetables, never drank alcohol and apparently because of genetics, since her father lived to be 100. Hague visits her mother a few times every week and is still a strong presence in her life. She said the reason her mother is doing okay in a nursing home is “partly because she has short-term memory loss and doesn’t know what she’s missing.�

is “un econo mical ”

Frontier agrees. FiOS TV is the wrong choice. Switch to XFINITY® and get the best entertainment for the best price. Recently, Frontier Communications announced that FiOS TV was “uneconomical.” They have taken a series of steps to discourage new customers from signing up for FiOS TV, and encourage existing customers who have FiOS to switch to other services like satellite TV. Fortunately, there’s a far better option. With XFINITY® from Comcast you get access to over 60,000 On Demand TV shows and movies, on TV and online. You can’t get that with satellite. You’ll also get access to the fastest Internet to more homes than anyone, plus smarter home phone service for less. Get home entertainment that’s here to stay with XFINITY.

After 3 months, monthly service charge for HBO goes to $10 until March 31, 2013 then regular rates apply. Comcast’s current monthly service charge for HBO ranges from $17.99 – $19.99. Comcast’s current monthly service charge for the Starter XF Triple Play is $129.99. TV and Internet service limited to a single outlet. Equipment, installation, taxes, franchise fees, the Regulatory Recovery Fee and other applicable charges (e.g., per-call or international charges) extra. May not be combined with other offers. TV: Basic service subscription required to receive other levels of service. On Demand selections subject to charge indicated at time of purchase. Internet: Actual speeds vary and are not guaranteed. Voice: $29.95 activation fee applies. Service (including 911/emergency services) may not function after an extended power outage. Call clarity claim based on August 2010 analysis by Tektronix.
