Inslee visits Lake Washington HS seniors for Democracy Day BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Four decades ago a group of teachers led the charge to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 with the 26th Amendment. The push was with the thought that any person old enough to be drafted to fight in the Vietnam
War had the right to vote. The organization Rock the Vote celebrated the 40th anniversary March 23 with Democracy Day, in which they held 20 assemblies to teach high school seniors nationwide about the importance of voting. One of those assemblies took place at Lake Washington High School with a

White gloves, bright red jackets and honking horns brought vibrancy to downtown Kirkland at 6 a.m. on Friday. It was all a part of remembering Kirkland resident Bill Petter who brought joy to many Kirklanders. Petter died of a heart attack earlier in the week at age 79. “He touched thousands of people’s lives,” said Bill’s son Terry Petter. “We had a little doubt at first that people would show up this early. But this is dad’s day.” More than 150 people took Petter’s place on his morning walk from Sur Le Table in downtown Kirkland, south down Lake Washington Boulevard to Houghton Beach Park and back. The walk drew family, friends, Kirkland City Council members, Kiwanians and many others. Local TV news crews even showed up to cover the event. “This is Kirkland. It doesn’t surprise me,” said Councilmember Bob Sternoff about the turnout. “My dad used to walk with Bill. I always had a connection with him because I used to be in the auto industry.” The start of the walk near the corner of Lake Washington Boulevard and Central was fitting as [ more PETTER page 2 ]

But the thing that made the group standout were their white gloves, which motorists knew Petter to wear in order to be seen waving at them before the sun came up. “My wife gave him his white gloves,� said Terry. “It was partially so people could see him in the dark.� The other reason was Pet-

Amina Chinnell-Mateen, (second from left), a Lake Washington High School senior, speaks to other youth about the recent changes at KTUB during a youth meeting at the teen center Tuesday. The Bellevue YMCA laid off the entire KTUB staff last week in a reorganization effort. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter
[ KTUB from page 1] senior director for Eastside operations, said the YMCA “hasn’t had any conversations about discontinuing any of the programs.” She said the organization has discussed particular internships and programs at KTUB that are “not well defined,” such as the youth-run café. “We’d like to see a little more structure about what the expected outcome and impact is of those internships and programs.” She added within the past nine months, the YMCA has spent quality time evaluating current programs and staffing. “We feel we really needed to make the changes to move this organization forward,”
said Steberl, noting she would like to see the teen center’s Youth Advisory Board well represented in the decision-making process for hiring new staff and implementing potential new programs. Since the layoffs last week, she said YMCA staff has
talked to kids one-on-one. “Some are angry and we get that,” said Steberl. “But I am confident that it’s the right decision and we’ll all take a deep breath and it’ll be fine.” She noted that current employees in good stand[ more YMCA page 23 ]

Comedian Jeffrey Ross to roast Kirkland at Laughs BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
S
eeing Jeffrey Ross on the street one might think he is either a radio personality, has personally waged a war against hair brushes or is the before-picture model for a rhinoplasty catalog - good thing he is a comedian. The man who has earned the monicker “Roastmaster General� as a part of the “Comedy Central Roasts� and the “New York Friars’ Club,� will return to the Seattle area to make fun of anyone who gets in his way with love, of course. He plays Laughs Comedy Spot in Kirkland April 8-9. “The audiences up there have a good sense of humor,� said Ross, who speed roasts the audience at the end of every show. “The last time I was in Seattle a war veteran threw his fake leg on stage.� Ross’ career has been full of surprises, from his book “I Only Roast the Ones I Love,� to roles on CSI and Showtime’s “Weeds.� “I take any chance to get out of my comfort zone,� said Ross. “I think comedians make good actors because we wear our heart on our sleeve.� Ross also had a fantastic
Comedian Jeff Ross is known as the “Roastmaster General� for his work on the Comedy Central Roasts. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO showing on “Dancing with the Stars,� where he got a scratched cornea from being poked in the eye. “It was a good experience,� said Ross of learning to dance on national TV. “I think I got voted off during the first commercial break.� But his work as Roastmaster General and producer on the “Comedy Central Roasts� has garnered some high praise from critics, as he has been compared to the likes of comedians Rodney Dangerfield and Buddy Hackett. “It feels ridiculous to be compared to them. They are my idols,� said Ross, who
grew up in New Jersey. “Just to be mentioned in the same sentence is amazing. They are some of the greatest ever.� Ross is one of the few comedians in the industry with a college degree and actually uses it. He earned a Bachelors in Communications from Boston University. “It has helped me as a storyteller ... and it got me out of New Jersey,� joked Ross, who has also produced the documentary “Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie.� It received the Best Feature Film Award at the Montreal Comedy Festival. The Roastmaster General
said that his standup work is a little different from what most people know of him. “My standup is more story and heart,� said Ross. “I usually end it with love poems.� But Ross’ place in the longstanding tradition of roasting has been cemented in producing and performing in the majority of the “Comedy Central Roasts.� He has roasted such entertainment icons as William Shatner, David Hasselhoff, Rob Reiner, Jerry Stiller, Drew Carey, Emmitt Smith, Carson Daly, Gene Simmons and Hugh Hefner. Hefner’s roast was one of the most difficult to produce. “We were really nervous about the show because it was just a few weeks after 9/11,� said Ross of the comedians set to roast Hefner. The show had one of the most shocking moments in standup comedy history as a Gilbert Godfrey joke about the twin towers completely bombed. In desperation, Godfrey turned to “The Aristocrats,� a comedy-insiders’ joke. Ross buried his head in his hands when Godfrey began, but the joke had most gasping for air from laughing so hard. The joke is designed to be one of the most
vulgar jokes ever told and the program was being recorded for TV. “It was a tension lifter,� said Ross. “It was complete hysterics.� Another difficult “Comedy Central Roast� to produce was that of Donald Trump. The roast followed the death of Ross’ friend and fellow roaster extraordinaire Greg Giraldo. “It was devastating and sad,� said Ross. “But the roast must go on ... We booked one less act to save a place for him.� But the actual show was made more difficult by the “Jersey Shore’s� cast member “The Situation.� Ross said
that “The Situation� was the worst roaster he has ever seen: “Gaddafi almost surrendered.� It is the only time Ross has had to help a roaster get through the set. “Snoop helped me ‘relax’ during the break,� said Ross. Ross works for weeks on his material for the roasts and through all the breaks during the tapings. He said that he views roasting as a sign of respect and added: “I hope they roast me some day.�
Ross will roast Kirkland on April 8-9 at Laughs Comedy Spot. Visit www. laughscomedy.com for tickets.

he prospect of getting up at 4:45 a.m. is never appealing to me. Going out and standing in the rain, taking photos in the wee morning hours of a dark downtown Kirkland is an even worse idea. But covering the walk that was organized by family and friends of Bill Petter, who passed away last week, was a pleasant surprise. I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my editor gave me the assignment, wondering to myself “would there be more than a handful of people out to walk in the rain at 6 a.m.?” I realized, by the story I had written on Petter’s passing less than a week earlier, that he was a special and giving individual. Petter helped establish Petter Court, two lowincome four-plex housing developments with Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing. Petter had such an impact on the organization that they established an annual award in his honor - the Bill Petter Homeless Advocate Award. Petter also raised nearly $150,000 for the March of Dimes March for Babies during the past 12 years. This year he was in the process of raising $40,000 for the March of Dimes. He also served on the City of Kirkland’s Civil Service Commission and was a very active member of the Kirkland Kiwanis. By all accounts he was

also one of the friendliest people in Kirkland. The walk traced the route that Petter would take each and every morning from the heart of downtown, down Lake Washington Boulevard and back, waving to morning commuters. When I arrived at 5:30 a.m., I was stunned to see about 40 people huddled in the drizzle outside Sur Le Table with coffee in hand and two TV stations there to cover the event. As I stood there and slowly watched the crowd grow larger and larger it seemed like everyone and their dog, literally, in Kirkland had showed up. The actual start of the walk got pushed back to 6:30 a.m. to accommodate the TV news crews. More than 150 people walked with signs and white gloves down the boulevard. The rain
held off for the most part but the cold and wind was surely enough to keep some away. But all of them walked with smiles and waves to remember a family member, friend, volunteer and activist. Bill Petter was not a politician, celebrity or victim, as many of these types of events commemorate. He was an ordinary Kirkland resident and business owner who chose to use his life and spare time to help others. The event should remind us all that one person can have a big impact on many, many lives. I was glad to be there to share the event with the greater community, even at 5:30 a.m. I felt privileged to help everyone in the community say thank you to Bill Petter.

HCC’s future should rely on transparent process The recently proposed state legislation that would affect the Houghton Community Council (HB 1812) created quite a stir in Kirkland. After much discussion and feedback, the legislation was pulled. Potential changes like this should have been the result of an open and transparent process. Anything less creates suspicion and mistrust between citizens and government. I want the Houghton community to understand that the proposed legislation was just as much a surprise to me as it was to the citizens of Houghton. I regret that this legislation was proposed because the Kirkland City Council has a good working relationship with the Houghton Community Council, and I hope this will not damage that relationship. An even bigger issue, however, is government’s responsibility to honor its commitments. The Houghton Community Council was established by a commitment that was made when Houghton and Kirkland were
combined into one city decades ago. The Community Council was created as part of an agreement to convince Houghton to become part of Kirkland. It was part of a “trade-off ”: Houghton became part of Kirkland in exchange for the creation of the Houghton Community Council to preserve local control over land use decisions. A commitment was made and this commitment should be honored. How can citizens trust government if it does not honor its commitments? The Houghton Community Council is a Kirkland institution and I believe it should continue. Yes, it can make land-use planning and other decision making more complicated and time consuming. We have learned through experience that we can make the process more efficient and get a better outcome if we work together on important decisions and that we start working together early in the process. Open communication and working together leads to successful decision making. If there is to be a change in the Houghton Community Council, it should come from the Houghton community, and should be the result
of an open and transparent community process. As long as the Houghton neighborhood supports and values the Houghton Community Council, I support and value the Houghton Community Council.

Letter on DCNA was hypocritical Kathy Robertson’s recent letter calling Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance narrow-minded and an obstructionist was over the top and hypocritical. Kathy disagrees with DCNA’s position in opposition to the proposed park land location of a new fire station and 20 stall parking lot on Finn Hill. The position statement was respectful and polite. It called for questions to be answered, questions a lot of people besides DCNA have been asking. The search for a location has been going on for eight years but until late February when DCNA issued a position statement and a backhoe appeared without notice to take soil samples, little information had
been shared with the area residents regarding the project. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to ask for information. Fire District 41 commissioners themselves admitted that some of the questions at the public hearing raised points they had not considered. In fact Kathy herself asked the city directly for information in January. Good for her. Is DCNA not allowed to do the same? Kathy says supplying the answers will create delays and push a decision past the annexation date. Welcome to democracy. Further charges that the city will shift the funds raised for a new station into its general fund were put to rest by the city finance director at the public hearing last month. With thousands of voters in the annexation area, city officials would be fools to make a money grab. DCNA has long worked cooperatively with King County and other agencies. It continues to do so and representatives last month met directly with fire district commissioners, the fire chief and city officials. After DCNA supporters contributed $500,000 to save the woodlands and have given tens of thousands of hours in [ more LETTERS page 7 ]

he Kirkland Fire Department began its Basic Life Support (BLS) Transport User Fee Program on March 1. The program was established to create a sustainable revenue source to support essential emergency medical services. Fees from the BLS transport user fee will help cover the cost of providing emergency medical service to the Kirkland community. Without this new revenue, the Kirkland Fire Department would have had to reduce service levels. Emergency medical transport user fees are common among fire departments. The city has established this fee in a fair and equitable way with a focus on collecting fees from insurance providers who have already collected premiums to cover the cost of the service we provide. The city ordinance and billing policy have been developed to minimize payments required by patients while preserving the ability to legally bill insurers. We estimate that more than 90 percent of the actual revenue we collect through this user fee will be paid by insurers. The fee is currently set by the Kirkland City Council
at $600 plus $14 per mile. The revenue generated by the user fee along with funds from King County EMS Levy, property and sales tax revenue, and other funding sources support all of the services provided by the Kirkland Fire Department. The expected revenue from the transport fee is equal to about one-fourth of the total cost of providing transport services and less than 7 percent of the fire department’s annual budget. Some patients will still have to pay. Non-residents will have to pay copayments and deductibles just the same as they would pay for any other medical service. These fees will be waived for residents of Kirkland. They will not receive a bill unless there is a problem contacting the insurance provider or they do not have insurance. In most cases, there will be no out-of-pocket costs for patients or these costs will be small, and the city has a financial assistance program for cases where the fee creates a hardship. Anyone who is having a medical emergency should still call 911. There is no fee for calling 911, the response to a medical emergency, or the initial evaluation and treatment for any medical emergency. If, after initial
evaluation and treatment, a medical transport is recommended the patient can make an informed decision about going to the hospital for further treatment and how to get there. Patients who decide to be transported for further care will not be asked for payment by the EMS crew and they will not inquire about the patient’s ability to pay. If the patient is able, he/she will be asked to sign a form acknowledging responsibility to pay the transport fee and authorizing the city to bill the patient’s insurance provider. The council has established this user fee to generate new sustainable revenue to support emergency medical services in the current difficult economic environment. The fee is focused on collecting user fees in a fair and equitable way while supporting emergency medical services.

Spring into your Kirkland parks If you look carefully, there are many signs of spring in the parks. The trillium are blooming by the restrooms and the staircase to the parking lot at Juanita Bay; a few salmonberry are beginning to unfurl its blossoms, and a lonely skunk cabbage is out. In other parks, with different microniches of light and temperatures, skunk cabbage are blooming in abundance. Things are leafing out and budding all over. Red flowering currants by the Juanita Bay parking area are blooming, although the large area by the community trail is not so far along. The willows are flowering, elderberry leafing out, green spikes of the yellow iris are sprouting in the wetlands, as are new shoots of bleeding heart by the restrooms. The camellias are blooming, the Oregon grapes budding. Some of the winter migrants are gone, while
a few hardy early migrators are coming into the park. Tree swallows have been reported, a new redtailed hawk with a banded leg has taken up territory on the west side of Market Street where he is often photographed, and all kinds of small birds are singing again. Saturday afternoon three immature bald eagles treated some of us hardy souls out in the rain with a wonderful aerial display of synchronized flying at close range. Some early nesters are already nestbuilding, including a new flicker hole in a stub off the west boardwalk. An especially welcome sign of spring is when Janice Johnson

Plenefisch receives scholarship for Spanish immersion program Kamiakin Junior High 9th grader Elena Plenefisch, a Spanish 2 student, has received a full tuition scholarship to attend a two-week Spanish immersion program this summer at the Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota. Only 10 in the country received the scholarship. Applicants for the scholarship had to be in grades 8, 9 or 10 this year and have received medal placement in last year’s National Spanish Exam sponsored by the AATSP (American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese). The exam last year for secondary students drew more than 120,000 total participants nationwide. Elena scored in the 96th percentile earning a gold medal for her performance. To apply for the scholarship, Elena had to submit a DVD with an interview conducted by her teacher Rona Chumbook in Spanish. She also had to write an essay to address what it means to be a global citizen, why studying Spanish is important, submit a transcript, and include two letters of recommendation. Elena also chose as her culminating CAPstone project to teach Spanish to John Muir 6th grade students after school.
selves is to vote. “We want and need their brilliance. We need new ideas that are creative and many of those will come from this generation.” Inslee was introduced by two Lake Washington High School students and spoke to the seniors for about 15 minutes before opening up a question and answer session. “I knew this was a cool school when I saw the pictures of Elvis on the doors to the office,” said Inslee, who graduated from Shoreline’s Ingrahm High School in 1969 and won a state title as a high school basketball player. Inslee told the students how he got involved in politics and touted the new health care bill passed last summer. Some of the students took the question and answer session as an opportunity to ask Inslee about serious current issues that will affect their generation. Lake Washington senior Alexandra Mariani asked what the Congressman’s stance was on nuclear energy in the wake of the recent earthquake in Japan. “There are obvious dangers associated with nuclear energy and we are seeing it in Japan today,” said Inslee. “But there are downsides to

contributed to the federal deficit,” said Inslee, citing the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Bush tax cuts, the recession and stimulus spending. “I was opposed to four of those. We spent $1 trillion for the Iraq war and borrowed it all. I voted against the Iraq War. I think we should bring the troops home from Afghanistan.” Other students opted for the lighter side of politics, asking “If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?” To which Inslee replied “to be humble,” and was booed by many. The Congressman then changed his answer: “To be humble and fly.” Inslee was originally scheduled to come speak to the seniors two weeks prior, but the announcement and press conference for the new Boeing tanker contract with the U.S. military meant that the Congressman had to cancel. The Democracy Day event was the perfect opportunity to reschedule. “We are super excited to have both in the same day,”
said Lake Washington High School teacher Lindsay Rogers. “Our main goal is for them to learn that they can have an impact and they have a voice.” Rock the Vote has registered more 18-25 year olds to vote than any other organization and the event coincided with 20 other similar assemblies in places such as Los Angeles, South Carolina, Virginia and Cleveland. “This is usually something we do in a classroom,” said Thomas Bates from Rock the Vote, who was also accompanied by the Washington Bus, a separate organization aimed at getting young people registered to vote. “This is great to get to do this with the Congressman.” The event also included a mock vote and a video on the history of the 26th Amendment. “I have been in a lot of schools and I don’t think people realize how bright this generation is,” said Inslee.

QFC and The Nature Conservancy BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
When Quality Food Centers launched our first reusable totes in the spring of 1990, we formed a unique partnership with The Nature Conservancy. For every bag reused in our stores regardless of whether it was paper, plastic or tote bag, we made a donation to the Conservancy on behalf of our customers. More than two decades later, our commitment to the environment continues. We encourage you to reuse your bags when grocery shopping and we now offer a choice: you may keep your 3-cent credit per bag reused, or you can elect to have it donated to QFC’s Checkstand Charity. During April, that charity is The Nature Conservancy, with its mission of Protecting Nature. Preserving Life.TM Since 1959, The Nature Conservancy has helped protect more than 550,000 acres of Washington’s irreplaceable natural lands. It owns and manages 55,000 acres across our State and many of those acres are in preserves the public can enjoy. Priority conservation areas include the Puget Sound, Washington’s Salmon Coast and Eastern Washington. These regions are
home to an amazing diversity of life, from 800-year-old trees to orcas and one of the largest wintering eagle populations in the country. Thanks to The Nature Conservancy and the work of their almost 100,000 members in Washington, more than: t 23,000 acres of coastal rainforests have been conserved. t 350 river miles that feed into our treasured Puget Sound has been preserved. t 30,000 acres of sagelands have been preserved. t 1.6 million acres of east Cascade forest are being managed for long-term health. t 100 nature preserves have been established by the Conservancy in Washington. The work being done is pretty amazing, and a great way we all can celebrate is during Picnic for the Planet. April 22, 2011 is Earth Day and people around the world will be heading to their favorite outdoor spot to enjoy good food in the company of great peo-
ple. Created by The Nature Conservancy, Picnic for the Planet is a global celebration of the planet we live on, the food it provides and the people with whom we share it. It’s a great way for people to make the connection between Healthy Food and a Healthy Planet, which is an initiative of the Conservancy. As the Picnic unfolds around the world, cities vie for the titles of: Picnic with the Best View, Largest Picnic, Cleanest Picnic (most positive impact on the location), Northern-most Picnic and more. The Nature Conservancy will be mapping Picnic locations around the world and gathering photos and video from as many locations as possible and posting them online. Be sure to visit www.nature.org/washington for more information about The Nature Con-
servancy and Earth Day 2011. Growing up in the Midwest was a wonderful experience for me, but I continue to be amazed at the beauty of this state and the experiences that Washington’s geography makes possible. Thanks to the work of The Nature Conservancy, I know that the sights, sounds, and adventures I currently share with my family will be available for many generations to come. I invite you to support The Nature Conservancy this April by making a donation at your neighborhood QFC.

Icelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crash offers lessons
FINANCE
John Klevens
lapsed under enormous debt. He is then asked what, in his research, made him believe Icelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market was so stable. After fumbling for an answer, he came up with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You talk to people, you have faith in the central bank.â&#x20AC;? When asked how much money the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce paid him to write the report, Mishkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was $124,000. This certainly leads one to reconsider how much forethought and practical knowledge those in control of monetary policy really have. But, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. The next question the interviewer asked leaves the poor man momentarily speechless. Mishkin is presented a copy of his paper, on which the title of the 2006 report has been changed to Financial Instability in Iceland. All Mishkin could do was mumble something about a typo. I bring this up not to attack
Mishkin, but to highlight that central bankers can get things wrong. And, in the case of the bailout fever that firmly grips the U.S. and is spreading quickly in Europe, evidence is emerging that our monetary policy chiefs are exactly that: Wrong. Again. Take Iceland. The country let its banks fail, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use taxpayer money to bail them out, and the country and its currency have paid a heavy price. However, just a few short years after its crash, Icelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget deficit will be 6.3 percent this year and will vanish by 2012, the European Commission estimates. Contrast this with Ireland, which will leave a 32 percent deficit as estimated by the European Commission.

Looking for a good movie? I highly recommend a documentary that played in theaters titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Job.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the financial collapse in the U.S. and includes interviews with some key players involved, explaining the incestuous relationships among banks, rating agencies, government officials and paid consultants. One of the more eye-opening interviews is with Frederick Mishkin, former Federal Reserve governor and current professor at the Columbia School of Business. In the interview he is asked about a paper he co-authored titled, Financial Stability in Iceland, in which he writes in glowing terms about the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong and stable financial markets. Keep in mind that this was mere months before the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banks and economy col-

they often have fears about whether it will happen to them. Even very young children, who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be paying attention, absorb more than we realize. Debbi Halela, director of Youth & Family Counseling at Youth Eastside Services, recommends minimizing news exposure for young children because it can create unnecessary worries and fears. Sleep problems, headaches, stomachaches, excessive irritability and clinginess may be signs that a child is harboring too much stress. If you suspect your child is scared about something, imaginary play toys and drawing materials can help them express fears or feelings that they may not be able to put into words.

Parenting & Summer Camps
Dear Julie, Thanks, Julie. Your question is great and one that I get asked often actually, but one I wish many parents would think more about. Once again, I believe this is an answer that is truly dependent upon the child. However, in most cases I really believe it is best for most children to start a year later. There are many disadvantages for starting a child too young too soon. From my experience as a teacher, it is quite rare to find a child ready cognitively, socially and emotionally. I hear parents all the time say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But my child is reading and adding and subtracting.â&#x20AC;? However, just because your child is ready academically, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the rest of the child is ready. If your son is turning 5 in August that means
receiving. I totally understand that too and so do many educators. Research has shown that a child who may receive a better education at school than at home or in another care environment should go to school earlier. However, when research suggests â&#x20AC;&#x153;schoolâ&#x20AC;? here it means early learning programs, not necessarily formal schooling or kindergarten. As a teacher I know firsthand that if there is any kind of academic or behavior concern with a child and the child is young for their grade, there may be a need for retention, especially in kindergarten. This is, of course, in an extreme case, but it can be very damaging to a child. This young child begins school with [ more BROOKE page 20 ]

whole child now and in the future. As far as your child being a boy, there is plenty of research that shows typically boys and girls do develop at different rates, with boys developing a little later in certain areas such as fine motor skills and language development. However, we must once again remember to always look at each child as a whole and on an individual basis. There are plenty of boys who are more ready or just as ready as their peers who are girls. From a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, another reason to start your child a year later might be to fit in a little more quality time with your child. My mother tells me I was â&#x20AC;&#x153;kindergarten ready,â&#x20AC;? but her reasoning for starting me a year later was that I was her baby and she being a stay-at-home mom and with my three older brothers and sisters in school, wanted to savor that time. I appreciate that now as an adult and I actually treasure those memories of my mom and I going to lunch and to the library together, helping her with her Avon orders, just me and her. Now, once again everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation is different. Many parents both work full-time now, and think school would actually be a better place than the childcare option they are

One question that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to have is whether to hold my son back a year or enter him into kindergarten next year. He has an August birthday. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if others have the same question, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes what some of the benefits and negatives might be.
ASK MRS. BROOKE
Dear Mrs. Brooke,
just two months prior to beginning kindergarten he was 4 years old. Most 4 and even 5-year-olds are just developing self control and focus, just realizing there are other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s points of views besides their own, learning how to solve problems, and becoming independent thinkers. Emotionally our children may not be ready. And then we have the social aspect as well. When our children were infants, we saw how fast our children grew developmentally by weeks, even days, and as 5 and 6-yearolds that developmental growth does slow, but a span of 11 months or even a few months between peers can still make a big difference in peer relations. We forget to look at the whole child and even the most academic-ready child may not be emotionally ready to be a part of a classroom with 21 other students and/or not socially ready to be amongst peers almost a year ahead of them developmentally. And then as responsible parents, we must think of the future of our child. Even if we have a child who is cognitively, emotionally, and socially ready for kindergarten, does that mean they are ready to enter high school when they are 13 or college at the age of 17? We must look at the

ummer camp is an opportunity for your child to enjoy time with friends and gain new experiences. And there are so many choices! Some basic questions to consider include your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperament, their age, individual interests, safety and location. Children ages 3-6 tend to thrive in programs that provide routine in one location versus constantly changing venues. A program offered at one
location with enough visits for your child to become comfortable, allows your child to enjoy their experience versus constantly readjusting to new places and faces. A good program should include a variety of structured and free play opportunities. For this age group, the social and emotional skills so recently acquired can continue to be enhanced with guidance from experienced teachers. A good program includes plenty of outdoor

Push, small business owner, push As small business owners we are excited one minute then knocked down the next minute. It’s the nature of our business. We get a new big client. Yay, we are up. The new big client doesn’t pay us for three months. Boo, we are down. But then, they pay us right when the rent is due. Yay, we are up again. Somehow we manage to pull it off, over and over. We are survivors. We make it happen. We make it work. Yes, there are more struggles than normal these days. Yes, the economy is scary. But we are still the same people. We still have the same drive, desire, and guts we have always had. We still ride that small business wave up and down. We hang on. We move forward. During these tough times we need to step it up. I know. I hear you. You are already doing everything you can. Step it up? You hardly have the time now to do what
you are already doing. I hear you. Now is the time. I went to Laughs Comedy Spot in Kirkland recently. Greg Behrendt was there. He is a famous comedian who wrote the number one bestseller, “He’s Just Not That Into You.” He talked about his book and how surprising it was to him the book was number one. He told the crowd he didn’t really think he was the right person to co-write the book. But reluctantly he did it. He said, “Everything I have ever been successful in, someone has had to drag me into it.” How many of us have things we know we should do to help grow our businesses or improve the business but we just don’t do it? We don’t have time. We don’t have the money for it. So we skip it. But maybe, just maybe, that thing we dread is the one thing we really need to help our small business grow during these tough times. What do you dread? Diana DeAndrea-Kohn

These teens will most likely turn their backs to KTUB, leaving a huge issue with servicing at-risk youth in the City of Kirkland.” He added the new contract between the YMCA and the city was based on the “agreement that they were going to come in and make the transition as smooth as possible.” But Michael Cogle, the city’s Park Planning and Development manager, said the city’s operating partner “certainly has the discretion to bring on the staff they feel is needed to run the facility and meet the scope of work in their contract. We respect their right to select their staff.” But teens like Best High School senior Mason McDermott say that KTUB’s current staff is irreplaceable. McDermott, who learned how to become a better guitar player at KTUB, said the teen center “won’t be the same with different staff. KTUB staff has a heart.”

Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers.
&INDĂĽTHEĂĽJOBĂĽOFĂĽ YOURĂĽDREAMSĂĽat pnwCareers.com
Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone. The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card.
PNWHomeFinder.com is an online real estate community that exposes your profile and listings to two million readers from our many publications in the Pacific Northwest. Log on to join our network today.
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper. This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method. To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips: t "TL UIF DBMMFS UP JEFOUJGZ IJNTFMG IFSTFMG BOE UIF PGĂĽDF IF TIF JT DBMMJOH from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.
