State Rep. and Kirkland resident Roger Goodman announced early Monday morning that he will run for Congress in the 1st Congressional District instead of the 8th Congressional District. The democrat’s decision Roger Goodman to switch comes on the heels of former 8th Congressional District democrat Jay Inslee’s announcement that he will run for Washington State Governor. “Today I filed my statement of candidacy for election to the United States Congress, running from the 1st Congressional District, where my family has always made our home,” the announcement stated. “My campaign for Congress attracted enough support [ more GOODMAN page 6 ]

suddenly in a firearm accident on Friday, according to his family. Many youth wore KNLL and Juanita Rebel Pride jerseys to remember their fallen friend. A banner was also raised in Drew’s honor, followed by a moment of silence. During the event, many

Holding up signs like “Happy trails, happy tails,” “Unleash the fun,” and “Kirkland dogs just want 2 have fun,” a crowd of nearly 100 dog owners unleashed their enthusiasm and support for an off-leash dog park in Kirkland during a rally at Marina Park on Saturday. The event was part of a videotaping of local dog park supporters to help the City of Kirkland win $100,000 for the park as part of a national dog park contest. KDOG (the Kirkland OffLeash Dog Group) nominated the city for PetSafe’s Bark for Your Park contest in May for a chance to win $100,000 to build an off-leash dog park. Kirkland was recently selected as a semi-finalist and participants were asked to create a short video highlighting Kirkland’s support for the new dog park.

[ BARK from page 1] Hour on Wednesday and worked on the video’s final scene at Marina Park on Saturday. During the event, the crowd, along with many pooches, howled in support for the long-awaited dog park. “My gosh, I cannot tell you how much I want a dog park in Kirkland - this dog loves to run,� said Kirkland resident, Tricia Stromberg, of her 2-year-old airedale terrier, Cassi. Stromberg said she often drives to Edmonds - 50 miles round trip - which has a fenced dog park where her young pooch can romp. Julie Metteer was at the

event with her two young canines, Maya and Daisy. “There’s a big need for a dog park here,� said Metteer, who lives next to the site the city approved last year for the dog park in the Totem Lake neighborhood. “It’s such a huge dog community and we’re the only city (on the Eastside) that doesn’t have a designated dog park. So it makes sense.� Megen Opsahl agreed. When she first moved to Kirkland six years ago, “it was amazing to come downtown and see so many people with their dogs,� said Opsahl, who is a KDOG member. “It’s such a dog-friendly town.� She also commented on

the social impacts an offleash dog park would have for local dog owners and their pets. “If you have a very friendly social dog that does well offleash, it’s a really great exercise for them to run and play hard as opposed to a leashed walk,� said Opsahl, who has fostered more than 30 dogs in the past three years as a volunteer for Northwest Airedale Terrier Rescue. She also has two airedales of her own - Hamilton and Lady. “And (dog owners) can also stand around and talk about our dogs and things about dogs while our dogs run and play.

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week. Between June 20-23, the Kirkland Police Department reported 328 traffic violations (one DUI), 12 alarm calls, eight car accidents, 13 noise complaints, nine thefts, two car prowls, three domestic violence calls, one call for harassment, six acts of fraud, 13 calls of a disturbance, three calls for illegal substances and 14 calls of civil disturbance.

A.G. Bell breaks ground

The city has awarded a contract to Reed Trucking and Excavating to construct a sidewalk along the north side of 12th Avenue from Sixth Street to the back entrance of Peter Kirk Elementary School on 110th Avenue N.E. The project focuses on pedestrian safety by providing children a safe alternative to riding the bus or being driven to school. The project will help close a gap in the pedestrian facilities linking the neighborhood to the Peter Kirk Elementary School. This project will construct approximately 1,050 linear feet of curb, gutter and sidewalk with a planter strip. The sidewalk will capitalize on areas where sidewalk has already been constructed with prior development. Construction is expected to be completed before school starts in 2011.

he tragic death of 12-year-old Drew Hanson rips at the heart. For those of us who are parents, the thought of a child that young dying is tough to handle. We are sure that, just like those of us in the Kirkland Reporter newsroom, all Kirkland residents’ thoughts and prayers go out to the Hanson family in a time of need that very few us could ever understand. The outpouring of support that some 200 people lent at Peter Kirk Park on Monday evening is a testament to the impact this one boy had on those around him. Friends, family, teammates and acquaintances packed the park to share memories, try to make sense of the tragedy and say goodbye. But it is also a testament to the people of Kirkland and surrounding neighborhoods. It shows how much people care about each other in this community. It is also becoming a pattern that those in Kirkland should be proud to have continue. Editorial staff has lived and worked in many different cities with vast differences in social and economic standards. Working in the news industry, we have gotten to know each one intimately. None of those communities even comes close to this area in compassion. The recent completion of the Milkin house is one of the largest examples of the compassion that this community exudes in a time of need. The fact that an entire community would come together for one person, Leonid Milkin, is amazing. Volunteers, community leaders, everyday citizens and local companies joined forces to literally attempt to help rebuild one man’s life after his family was murdered and the house burned to the ground in an attempt to hide the crimes. But it is not the only example. The outpouring of support for the Bardinelli family last year was also amazing. Jodi Bardinelli, the former director of the Kirkland Wednesday Market, was a big part of the Kirkland and Bothell communities and was raising three daughters when she got cancer.

Not having health insurance put her and her daughters in a difficult situation when she began to get treatment. After her passing a bartender at Russell’s Restaurant in Bothell put together a fund raiser for her family. Friends, family and community members helped out. The Kirkland Wednesday Market showed their support as well and honored her memory and her family with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in 2010. Another example is Mary Anne Kobylka who was diagnosed with Stage 2 ovarian-cancer in 2004. Her treatment and spirit kept her alive for five more years. But it was the community that helped to fulfill her final wish. Kobylka hoped to raise $50,000 for research, and friends, family and strangers came to her side. She was able to accomplish such a lofty goal just after her death and eventu-

ally exceeded that total getting to $60,000. Her son’s swim team, the Kirkland High Woodlands Dolphins, raised more than $6,000 through a swim-a-thon by itself. And while none of these exceptional events of generosity, emotional support and love can change tragic history, it can give us hope for the future and comfort in knowing that our neighbors, even people we don’t know will be there in our time of greatest need.

How you can help The Drew Hanson Memorial Fund has been set up at U.S. Bank in downtown Kirkland where donations can be made to help support the Hanson family with funeral arrangements.

Kirkland has always been a town that has supported sports and recreation. Traditionally, we have been known for super high quality little league baseball and massive involvement in youth soccer, but we also support everything from kayak water polo to ultimate frisbee in our public parks. Today the new hot sport is lacrosse, the number of interested kids is increasing at huge rates, but unfortunately the number of suitable practice fields is not. In fact, without more fields the lacrosse program will have to turn away some of the kids who want to play. To fix this Kirkland Lacrosse is working with King County to take an existing field that is unusable most of the year because of poor drainage, and make it into a nice new usable field. I don’t ever remember when I was growing up in Kirkland hearing about a sports program

turning away interested kids. I think it would be unconscionable if we didn’t give our kids the same opportunities we had growing up. I hope everyone lets King County and the Kirkland City Council know that they support this field renovation. Our kids need a place to play.

Just wanted to follow up to Russ Perman’s letter “Kirkland is not a police state” from June 17. While I am “for” annexation into the city limits of Kirkland, I have never, in 23 years of living on Finn Hill, seen so many police officers patrolling my neighborhood since annexation took place. I have always felt safe and secure on this particular ridge in western Washington but wonder, what gives? While I am happy to have the “extra security” patrolling my ‘hood, it makes me wonder: is something bigger going on that we all need to know about or watch for? I hope our tax dollars for all City of Kirkland residents are being put to good use by patrolling all of Kirkland, and not just your new digs. Russ is correct - this is a pretty nice neighborhood. Really ... it is.

Kirkland Wednesday Market boring this year on Park Lane The Wednesday Farmer’s Market was wonderful last year at the Marina. Not so much this year. Last year the open feel of the venue, the many vendors that included several food and beverage stands, made for a festive time. This year, cramped into Park Lane, there is barely room to walk, and the only food available is pastry and popcorn. Going in the first time, I was looking for my slice of Veraci pizza, but I was told that there is no room for food vendors this year. After two boring weeks of looking at flowers and trinkets, I will spend

: How do we find out if the City of Kirkland has restrictions of inflatable characters, arches, the waving man tube, etc.? : Inflatable characters are regulated by the city’s sign code (which is contained in Chapter 100 of the Kirkland Zoning Code).

should you choose to attend a fireworks display. Daytime parades can be over-stimulating and scary so leave your pet at home. There may be little shade while watching a parade for your dog to escape the heat. 2. Fireworks may be set off in and around neighborhoods days before and after the Fourth so be prepared if this is legal or even illegal in your city. Keep your pet indoors during festivities. If your dog has access to a doggie door think about securing the door to keep pet inside.

3. Pets may bolt out an open door, jump or climb a fence to escape, dig under a fence, chew through drywall trying to get out of the house and jump through screens and even windows. If you don’t have AC then an open window is important, but be careful if the dog has access to that window. 4. Make sure outdoor gates and front or side doors are secure so a dog cannot bolt from home. If a dog sees an open door to an open garage an escape could occur. In these situations you may find it best to confine your pet in

I’d say leave the economic development to the private sector like the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and Kirkland Downtown Association, and lower the license fee/tax correspondingly.

The Fourth of July is a fun holiday for humans, not so much for our pets unless a tasty morsel of steak, chicken or burger falls off the BBQ and the dog can score the bounty. Pets frightened of thunder will usually be frightened of fireworks.

WWII images that belong to the Hudson family and have only been seen by a few people. The photos depict some of the most famous political and military figures of the era, including Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. James also helped to create V-mail with the Eastman Kodak company while in Cairo. The Victory mail procedure took original letters and documents, transferred them to microfiche for transport and then back to paper for delivery. The purpose was to reduce the cargo space the mail took aboard boats and airplanes. James’ life after the war and CIA included being editor of Systems Building News magazine and he contributed to National Wildlife Magazine. “He was also featured in the Smithsonian Magazine for his unique designs for covered building projects on high rises in New York City,” added Jim.

The Pasteur was used as a hospital and military transport. “My father wrote the book ‘The Ship that Won World War II,’” said Hudson, adding the book chronicled the dramatic mission. The Pasteur’s trip across the Atlantic helped to turn the tide of war as the 5,000 GIs aboard the ship helped to defeat a field marshall for the Nazis - Erwin Rommel in Africa. While stationed in Cairo, Egypt, James had an unusual opportunity that has become an archive of sorts for his family. As the liaison between the military and media, he got to work with various photographers and even keep some of the photos. “All of the TimeLife reporters had to report to him,” said Hudson.

Hudson and his family have had to deal with not only losing their patriarch, but also worldwide media attention about his father’s work. “It has really reinforced the importance of history and remembering people from World War II,” said Hudson, who served in Vietnam and received the Purple Heart. “Each one had an important job to do.” Some former members of the OSS have contacted Hudson to exchange information about the agency for a museum that is being created. “I found out some new stuff about my dad,” said Jim, whose father was cremated and his remains will be interred in Arlington National Cemetery. “He was very helpful to other people trying to find family members after the war.” James was also involved in one of the most dramatic

But James, who served as a high ranking Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative during World War II and for some years after, died at 93 years old on May 28 in Fredericksburg.

Two-alarm fire in Totem Lake neighborhood BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

he Kirkland Fire Department responded to a two-alarm fire in a five-unit commercial complex in the Totem Lake neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon. An employee in a nearby business alerted Kirkland Fire and reported smoke at approximately 1:46 p.m. Tuesday, said Mike Dettmer, incident commander of Kirkland Fire. Sixty firefighters and 21 units from the Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, Northshore and Woodinville fire departments responded to heavy smoke and flames at the Parmac Business Park located at 11100 117th

Place. Postal Express employees Isreal Paredes and Quy Tang sat just blocks from their work waiting to get past the line of fire trucks and ambulances to start their work day. “I have been here since 2 p.m.,” said Paredes. “And we can’t get up the hill.” “I heard they were putting out the last of it, but there is debris everywhere,” said Quy. “I think half the warehouse is burned.” Charred pieces of what looked to be paper could be found blocks from the Parmac Business Park. Dettmer said firefighters were able to control the fire after 45 minutes. The fire started in an industrial bay with heavy

BRIEF

LWSD extends next school year to maintain teacher pay Lake Washington School District’s school year calendar for 2011-12 has been extended to 181 days from 180 and the last day of school moved from June 20 to June 22. May 25 will become a non-student day. These changes result from an agreement with the Lake Washington Education Association to maintain current salaries, in spite of the state salary cuts, through the addition of two workdays. The state legislature cut funding for teacher salaries by 1.9 percent in the recently completed session. Dr. Chip Kimball, superintendent, noted that teacher compensation affects retention and

recruitment of good teachers, a priority that he shares with district parents. “Teacher salaries, in real dollars adjusted for inflation, have been declining for 30 years,” noted Kevin Teeley, LWEA president. “Despite that fact, the legislature is asking teachers to take another cut in pay.” Dr. Kimball proposed to the LWEA keeping teacher compensation at the same level as 2010-11, using local levy dollars to make up the difference. As part of the proposal, teachers would work two additional days, focusing the time on preparing for the district’s change to a new grade configuration in the fall of 2012. Teachers voted overwhelmingly to accept this change to their contract. “In talking to parents about the grade configuration change, I found they care deeply about the quality of staff teaching their students,” said Kimball.

has touched in his life,” said Drew’s mother, crying. “It’s just so amazing.” Drew’s best friend, 12-yearold Luis Hernandez, said he will never forget one of his last moment’s he shared with his friend last week. “The day that we graduated from elementary school, that same day I took him to the theater with me,” he said. “We had a lot of fun - I’ve

never seen him as happy as he was that day. He was so happy.” He described Drew as a tall

kid with red hair and freckles. He was also funny. “What I remember was that each time he tried to

make us laugh or he interrupted the class. He made everybody laugh, like he made funny monkey noises,” recalled Hernandez, adding he was looking forward to going into the 7th grade at Kamiakin Junior High with his friend. “I’m going to miss him so much and I’ll always be his best friend.” Jessica Johnson, Drew’s aunt, said her nephew had also just made the varsity football team for Juanita High School. “He was happy and funloving and adventurous and he loved life and he loved sports and he loved his sister and mom and dad and they loved him,” said Johnson, adding that The Drew Hanson Memorial Fund has been set up at U.S. Bank in downtown Kirkland where donations can be made to help support the Hanson family with funeral arrangements. Many members of the sports community also described Drew as a happy, fun-loving kid. Alan Lofquist, Drew’s Kirkland National Little League coach, said the boy was “effervescent.” “There was always a few kids on the team going, ‘yes, coach. yes, coach.’ He was one of them,” said Lofquist. He said Drew was a very good third baseman, outfielder and had a lot of power. He also had a lot of hair. “He would just be cracking jokes in the dugout, messing around with his big mass of red hair,” recalled Lofquist, laughing. “His hat didn’t really fit so every time he’d do something, he would take his

as possible while still protecting the city’s financial interests,” said Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett. “Thanks to the swift action by the city council, our agreement with Marshbank Construction gives us the best opportunity to meet both of those goals. The waiver granted by the council allows us to bypass the six to eight weeks of a formal bidding process and maximize the chance that the beach will open this summer.” The city council took

steps to move the process forward with a resolution on June 7 to wave the standard bidding process. Marshbank was not one of the original bidders for the project, but has done numerous park projects for the city. “We are pleased the city has selected us to help reopen the park,” said Marshbank Construction owner David Marshbank. The city has heard from many citizens concerned about the delay in the park opening and other issues

surrounding the project. It is also dealing with a time constraint for one of the permits on the construction project as it expires on Aug. 31 for concerns about spawning salmon. Those issues have led the city to expedite the process of finishing a park project that was to be completed by June 1 for Kirkland’s annexation celebration. During a recent council meeting, Spud Fish and Chips owner Larry Marion, whose business is across the street from the park,

suggested that the city require the new contractor to put signage out that tells residents the work is under new management and a countdown as to when it will open. The issue with the park has kept residents from using it and has also become a public-relations problem for the city. But officials have decided to focus on the former instead of the latter to solve the entire issue. “We want to move quick and cautious about a date,” said Cogle. “Once Marsh-

But the agreement that Marshbank is working under is different from the lump-sum contract given to DMSL. Because city officials want the project to move fast, the project will be paid for when each aspect of the work is completed. “Our goal is to open up Juanita Beach Park as soon

surrounding his son’s death on Friday. According to Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Allen O’Neil, “the victim was found unresponsive with a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound.” Police officials wouldn’t release any further information regarding the death as the case is currently under investigation. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has not determined the boy’s cause of death and officials said results are pending further police investigation. Dana said on Friday, his son was “laughing and giggling on his bed” when Amee told her son she made him a tuna fish sandwich and that she would be back soon after she ran some errands. When she returned home, she saw the neighborhood kids playing up the street, so she assumed he was with them. But Amee became concerned soon after when her son still hadn’t come home. “So she walked upstairs and he wasn’t in his room and she didn’t see his shoes, so she assumed he was outside playing,” recalled Dana, adding his wife found Drew in their bedroom, unresponsive. Less than a week ago, Dana and Amee had just celebrated their son’s 6th-grade graduation from John Muir Elementary on June 22. They were both overwhelmed by the outpouring of support during the remembrance event on Monday. “I’m just so amazed by how many people that he

hat off, whether it was running bases or, he’d pull his hat off in the outfield coming in.” Trevor German also coached him for a couple of years during Drew’s six years with KNLL. “He was one of those absolute ideal kids to have on the team,” said German, whose son played football with Drew. “He showed up ready to play all the time at practice and games, and always had a smile on his face and was happy to be out there playing baseball.” German, who is on the KNLL Board, said many emails have circulated within the organization and greater community about the tragic news and the remembrance event. He said the turnout was “very impressive. Drew obviously touched a lot of people with how many people are out here today to show their support for the family.” Christian Blackburn, 12, was also on the KNLL Rockies team with Drew, and The Boyz team. The Boyz is a north Kirkland baseball organization that was started by a couple of Kirkland National coaches. Christian said The Boyz recently won a pre-season Pat Downes Memorial Tournament in Woodinville, in which Drew hit a home run and made a “couple good plays.” The boys on the team each got to take the trophy home for a week. He said he was “shocked” by the tragic incident, but will always remember Drew as the kid who always smiled. “I don’t think there was a time when he wasn’t smiling.”

Why is Landscape & Curb Appeal So Important? the move, squaring away all the details for your new housing arrangement, trying to work, care for family, and still have some sort of personal time. That’s a lot to handle. However, it’s no excuse for not making your landscape appealing, especially when you think of the consequences. The consequences are: not selling your home at all. Lots of people ask me what the return on investment is for landscaping. It’s a hard decision for many to spend more money on a home in order to sell it! The reality is: home buyers look at pictures on the internet and make split second decisions about whether they are going to even call their broker about walking through a home. How do you know that investing in the landscaping for your home will give you a good return on your

lates there. When buyers come to view the home, they often feel like they are intruding instead of viewing a property that they might be purchasing. Keep in mind that the home buying process is emotional ‌ not logical. You may be thinking that the clutter will go away once you move but buyers simply don’t think that way. They easily get “turned onâ€? and “turned off â€? by your stuff ! Pull the weeds and ditch the empty planter boxes. A lot of times homeowners will leave an empty planter box, intending to get some flowers for it, but somehow that doesn’t happen. The “dead spaceâ€? is bad fengshui and even if the buyers don’t follow that philosophy,

the home will lack appeal for the simple reason there is no “life� to the exterior therefore not inviting them to envision their own lives in the home. Paint and fix any hardware that looks extremely worn. Nothing beats a fresh coat of paint. Realtors/ Brokers have a saying, “A $100 of paint on the wall is worth a $1000 in the seller’s pocket!� Yes, it’s work and it costs money to do. That’s exactly what buyers will think - which is good news for you! They’ll think, “This homeowner put some TLC into this home.� When you’re selling your home, fresh paint is always recommended for the inside. If the outside needs it, you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor and increase the chance of a higher sales price. Make

sure your front door, foot threshold and knobs/hardware are shiny and new. An old, banged up, ugly front door area vs. a crisp, clean, modern front door area is the first impression a prospective buyer will have – which type of entry area would you be excited to walk into? The biggest thing today’s sellers have to realize is that selling homes in today’s market takes personal GRIT and MOTIVATION. It also takes an investment of TIME and MONEY in the preparation. If you don’t have all four of these factors, you may want to consider that this is NOT the market for you. You may simply want to either wait until you do have all four of these factors or wait for the market to improve where it won’t matter as much as it does today.

profitable trades. An insider selling stock through options grants that have a significant percentage not vested, can be a sign that they either do not believe in the company, the stock is overpriced, or the executive doesn’t plan on staying. If someone with more information than the market and the ability to earn a significant sum of money through stock or options is not willing to put their capital at risk in the stock, I certainly would be hesitant to consider that stock. Investors should do their homework, have a plan when they step into the batter’s box, and know how to give themselves every legal advantage. The insider tell that’s most important to me is a large buy by a cluster of a company’s executives. These cluster buys historically have been highly predictive of a rise in a company’s stock price.

These “tells� can be viewed as a parallel to an important step in investing – monitoring legal insider trading. Monitoring doesn’t do it justice though – you can monitor all day long, but if you don’t know what to look for, you will remain lost both at the plate and in the market. So, how can investors learn to spot the tells? First, you have to understand that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all insiders to disclose their stock transactions. Tracking insiders and being able to weigh the impact of their past movements has served as a leading indicator of the market. You must have a system that differentiates between the routine transactions and the tells. Corporate insiders buy and sell stock for a variety of reasons. The trading opportunity lies in being able to determine which actions have and will lead to

FINANCIAL

Insider trading can be a tell-tale sign of what is going on within a company. Every October, legends are created under intense pressures of the baseball diamond. What allows some hitters to thrive under pressure when others crumble? There are many very good hitters, but what separates the best from the very good? The fundamentals are a given: good hand-eye coordination, practice in the batting cage, and studying your opponent. All hitters do or possess these things, and some just have a natural gift when it comes to physiology. But, some hitters take it a step further. Some are such students of the game that they can predict with reasonable accuracy what pitch is coming next based on how the pitcher is gripping the ball. They recognize these “tells� and, in doing so, are able to increase their odds of success dramatically.

How can you get a child through a tantrum or avoid having one? There isn’t a magic cure. Tantrums usually happen when a child is completely overwhelmed. They can become manipulative if they are mishandled and the tail will begin to wag the dog. There are two kinds of tantrums: 1) The child really is having a hard time (hungry, hurt, scared, etc.). Get them into quiet/safe area. Repeat a simple litany phrase such as “when your body and voice are quiet, we’ll get you taken care of.� Hold them or let them alone as they wish and wait it out. Some children want physical contact, for

others it spins them even further over the edge. 2) The tantrum is manipulative. Again, get them into quiet/safe area, stay by them and occasionally repeat a litany phrase such as “When you’re done, we’ll talk.� Otherwise ignore the behavior and do not give in. Keep your voice and face neutral. Don’t fuel the tantrum by giving in, being sympathetic, or trying to artificially stop it. When the child is calm and a constructive conversation is possible discuss what the child could have done differently to mentor them into more appropriate behavior. Karen Hergert

Tantrums can increase as part of a “stage.� Physical and cognitive growth can create unusually rocky emotions or testing behaviors. Frustration, growth hormones, etc. can all combine to produce a period of tantrums that can last for a few days or weeks for even the easy/low persistent personality types.

COMMENTARY

Some children are more prone to tantrums depending on temperament and persistency. There are three general temperaments: cautious, easy and feisty. Persistency is also a basic character trait. A feisty child is more prone to tantrums. Combine feisty with high persistence, and you have a long-suffering parent.

bonus – also looks good on your college applications. 3. Learn a new instrument! Mathematics and music are interconnected. By tackling a new instrument, your teenager will learn timing, logic, rhythm and meter. Learning elementary musical theory will help utilize and reinforce all of the concepts above. All of these skills will aid in increasing your student’s understanding of math.

Time is of the essence when parenting toddlers One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is time. But you don’t need to go to great lengths to create what we commonly think of as “quality time,� though weekend trips to the amusement park are terrific, too. Where young children are concerned, it’s just as important to give them quality time doing simple, everyday things together like house and yard work or running errands. You don’t need to try too hard to make every moment special or educational, either. What’s important is the connection. If work and life circum-

stances prevent you from spending more time with your youngster, you can improve the quality of the time you do have. Try setting aside 20 minutes of one-to-one time each day to really enjoy your child. “When you’re really present and focused with your child, it can be a real gift to you as well,â€? says Nell Robinson, parent educator at Childhaven. “You slow down, or maybe you speed up (toddlers are very busy), but you also start to notice lots of other things about your child. Plus, they will notice more about you.â€? In giving your time, you’ll be nurturing the most important relationship of your child’s life. The bond you build together is the cornerstone for your toddler’s healthy development, including his ability to relate well with other children and adults. Here are some more tips for making time with your toddler: ¡ Turn off the TV. ¡ The same goes for cell phones and other electronics. ¡ Get on your knees for some face-to-face play. ¡ Read together. ¡ Let your toddler’s interests lead the way. Into bugs? Take him out into the garden for some digging. ¡ Tap into your inner child. Have a picnic in the living room. Look at clouds. Enjoy this time while it lasts! Debra C. Ronholm

Proposed changes to Big Finn Hill Park spark conversations BY MEGAN MANAGAN mmanagan@kirklandreporter.com

W

ithin the 220 acres that is the Big Finn Hill Park off Juanita Drive, a grass field lies at the center of a proposed million dollar project. The field, which is primarily used by soccer and lacrosse teams in the fall and spring, is dire need of improvements to be useful. It fills with mud and water after the typically wet winters, making it almost impossible to play on in the spring. “The site has a lot of cancelations,” said King County Parks Director Kevin Brown. “There is a serious deficit of fields for lacrosse and soccer. We can never meet demand.” Big Finn Hill continues to be operated by King County, despite the area being annexed into Kirkland just last month. Currently, the county has a proposal from the Kirkland Youth Lacrosse organization to replace the field with a turf surface and to turn it into a multi-use field that can be used for soccer and lacrosse. The organization targeted the Big Finn Hill park because it has a field which isn’t being used to its full potential, but also because there aren’t many other options for lacrosse teams. “There’s a real pressing need for field space,” said Kirkland Youth Lacrosse president Steve Lytle. Two years ago when the club started there were 34 players. This season 182 turned out, and next year it’s expected over 250 will want to play. Lytle said they’ve worked with the Lake Washington School district and Kirkland Parks, but because there simply aren’t many fields in the area, it’s hard to get time and space.

BRIEFS

Northwest University signs four to men’s basketball team Northwest University has signed four players to play on its men’s basketball team. The group, from around the globe, signed letters of intent last week.

The proposed athletic field at Big Finn Hill Park would include a turf field for soccer and lacrosse, as well as a storage building. The project, which is still in the public comment process, has funding in place. CONTRIBUTED ART Lytle said many of their teams sometimes have to use partial fields when other teams are practicing, like sharing half a soccer field, or working on the edges of baseball fields, but that just doesn’t work as a long term solution. Without a solution to the field issue, they may have to turn kids away. But despite having worked with the county for the last year on the proposal, there are concerns from the neighbors of the park about the project.

The project Kirkland Youth Lacrosse has proposed a $1.5 million project at the park which would create a new synthetic turf field with lights and a perimeter fence. A small field house would also be built to be used for storage. Lytle said the field’s drainage in the early spring and late fall is so bad that kids were literally getting stuck in the mud, making it almost impossible to hold

Ryan Dornik, from Vancouver, Wash, is a transfer from Yakima Valley Community College. He went to Evergreen High School and was a co-captain at YVCC. Nemanja Grujicic, from Ratkovo, Serbia, is transferring from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls. The forward was a member of the Serbian U15 National Team and was rated as one of Serbia’s top 20 players. Cody Shackett, from Puyallup, Wash. played at Cascade Christian High

games or practices at the field. Brown said the county has been slowly converting fields in the various county parks to turf as they can. He said they have a preliminary design from the Kirkland Youth Lacrosse, but no permits have been submitted for the project. Despite being in a public, regional park, Kirkland Youth Lacrosse has all the funding in place for the project, including a $150,000 grant from the state capital fund which was secured by Sen. Andy Hill, who represents Kirkland. Because the funding is already in place, no taxpayer money is required to complete the project. The lacrosse season runs February through May, but Lytle said the organization may use the fields for camps in the summer and other off season events, while ensuring the field is also available to local soccer teams and other groups. The field, when not in use by teams, would be open for the public.

school. He was a two-time state tournament MVP and the 2011 1A AP player of the year. Nikola Djokovic, of Belgrade, Serbia, attended Seattle Prep for the last two year, helping the team to a Mountain Division championship in the Seattle Metro League and second place finish in districts. The Eagles finished the 2010-2011 season tied for third in the Cascade Conference with a league record of 12-6 and 22-9 overall.

Concerns Big Finn Hill Park lies in the Finn Hill neighborhood of Kirkland, just south of St. Edward State Park. Many of the families who live near Big Finn Hill Park have resided there for years. While the baseball fields are the current biggest sporting attraction to the park, the addition of a new lacrosse and soccer field have some neighbors worried. Chiefly among those concerns are the lights, as well as the extended use of the park. Alberta Allen, who has lived for 20 years adjacent to the park, specifically near the baseball fields, said she came to a neighborhood meeting on June 20 to learn more and get information about the project. She said she has some concerns about the noise and lighting, but came away impressed with Lytle’s presentation. “Steve Lytle did an excellent job of explaining the project and what they are

looking for and he has been very receptive to the neighbors about trying to address the concerns,” said Allen. She said the three biggest concerns she’s heard is about the lights, the extension of park hours, until likely 10 p.m. and how that might increase the noise. She said the neighbors have fought for years to not have lights at the baseball fields, and have largely succeeded, and while the county says they won’t be adding baseball lights, Allen understands if lights are in fact built for the lacrosse field, there is no guarantee they won’t be added to baseball. The issue with the lights, Allen said, is that many of the trees between the fields and homes are deciduous and not evergreen, meaning in the winter, light can easily spill through. “Then there are the problems with more people,” she said of the possibility of increased noise. “The tree buffer is a big thing.” Lytle said there is a 600 foot tree butter between

the field and the closest houses, which will help lower the impact of lights and noise to the neighbors during games. He said they’ve already worked with neighbors on some of the noise concerns, like horns and whistles. Lytle said they will not use substitution horns during games, which will make the games roughly the same noise level as soccer, which already competes there. There are also no plans to build a loud speaker system with the field, nor, at this time, a scoreboard. “With people there every day of the week and the noise impact of that, there are concerns,” said Allen. “Who wants to listen to whistles and such until 10 p.m. at night?” Brown said, concerning the lights, new technology has increased significantly since the parks master plan was last completed in 1994. “The technology allows for limited spillage,” he said of lights. He pointed to the recently completed athletic fields and park in Preston, where the same concerns were voiced prior to the project. Brown said it’s been highly successful. With the longer hours and higher usage of the park, some are concerned about traffic and influx of people. While many who live in the park consider it to be a dayuse park, Brown said, park use follows improvements, a policy consistent with other parks in the county. “There have been concerns about use of the park, because it’s anticipated that park use could go up,” said Brown. “It’s a regional park, so it’s always been for more than just Kirkland.”

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.
