Toastmasters Club is more than public speaking BY ALYSHA ALIBHAI UW News Lab

International Ballet THEATRE Kirkland’s International Ballet Theatre will perform the quintessential romantic ballet, “Giselle,” at 7:30 p.m. March 11-12 and 2 p.m. March 13 at the Meydenbauer Theatre, 11100 N.E. Sixth St., in Bellevue. The oldest continuously-performed ballet in history, Giselle first premiered in 1841 at the Theatre de l’Académie Royale de Musique in Paris, with choreography by Coralli and Perrot. It was re-choreographed in the Russian style by Petipa for the Imperial Ballet at the turn of the century. While studying for her masters in choreography in St. Petersburg, Russia, IBT’s Artistic Director Vera Altunina had the privilege of learning from professors who were pupils of Petipa’s dancers. Wellknown Seattle guest artists Mara Vinson and Le Yin will grace the stage as the leads, Albrecht and Giselle. Tickets are $50 adults; $40 students/ seniors; $25 children. Call 800-838-3006.

However, the club is much more than that. “We like being together and we have a good time,” said the club’s secretary Sharon Rice, who has been a member for two years. “It’s something to do and get involved in.” Glen Rollman, who has been a member for 38 years, values the club for enabling him to “speak without fear.” He enjoys the Thursday evening meetings because they’re “the cheapest entertainment around, and you can participate,” he said in an interview. “(Members) also learn how to express themselves,” said Paul Yarbrough, who attributes his main source of inspiration to the weekly meetings, which he has been regularly attending for 15 years. The club has won the “President’s Distinguished Club” 10 years in a row, said immediate past president Vi Duong. In addition, out of a pool of 170 clubs in the Puget Sound region, the club was recently honored as the Most Inspirational Club of the Year. What is truly inspirational is when members give “speeches in their second language,” said Ade. English is the second language for many club members, and the club is an arena

added that the club has been growing by more than three members per month. When asked what attracted her to the club, new member Danielle Blackburn said she had read that some of the most influential people in the world have been Toastmasters. After looking into

this, she found that “the most important friends they had and all of the most uplifting people they had ever met had been through the Toastmasters Club.” Blackburn decided to “give it a shot,” and when she attended the first meeting in Kirkland, she said she was “blown away.” The club is “so supportive and friendly,” said Xuewei Wen, vice president of public relations, who added that it is also a great way to network and make friends. Wen said this is why the Kirkland chapter is so popular. Members and visitors often leave Merrill Gardens feeling enriched and inspired. Not to mention, said Rice, “it’s very fun, and you feel safe and welcome.” While the club is about public speaking, said Yarbrough, “it’s really about your whole life, it’s self improvement, and when you improve one area of your life you improve all areas.” Meetings are every Thursday evening at Merrill Gardens, 201 Kirkland Ave. For more information visit http://kirklandeclecti. freetoasthost.us/.

Springer idea could slash annexation costs Counting the people who will be added to the City of Kirkland by the June 1 annexation will cost Kirkland taxpayers an estimated $225,000. But much of that money could be saved if the Legislature listens to Rep. Larry Springer and allows the count to be based on the new federal census. An estimated 33,000 people will be annexed to Kirkland on June 1, but state law requires a specific and expensive process for counting residents in annexed areas. The counts are used to share state revenues from the gas tax, liquor profits and other sources. House Bill 1336 would reduce duplicate counts and taxpayer costs when recent federal census numbers are available.

Eddy’s proposal could mean lower utility bills statewide For more than a

decade, Eastside residents have benefitted from an innovative partnership of the area’s cities and water districts known as the Cascade Water Alliance. The partnership has allowed the local governments to provide essential water services and conservation programs far more efficiently than on their own. It’s proven to be a successful and cost-efficient model of governance that other cities and municipalities are hoping to emulate. But costly and time-consuming legal limitations restraint its usefulness. That’s why Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland, has introduced a bill to make it easier for municipalities to come together and jointly provide essential water, sewer, storm water and flood control services by authorizing a partnership that does away with the legal problems. The bill was heard recently in the House Committee on Local Government.

This fall Lake Washington High School art students joined hundreds of students from Oregon, Washington and Idaho in submitting their works to the annual High School Art Northwest juried art exhibition at George L. Fox University in Oregon. The LW Visual Arts program announced that Lake Washington seniors Katie Murray and Rosalyn Johnson were selected to have their artistic achievements honored in this exhibition. Murray is best known for her exquisite line work and subtly layered textural detail. Johnson expresses her passion for the arts through her bold use of color and daring compositions. The show runs through Feb. 20.

[ 520 from page 1] progresses, WSDOT continues putting in place the equipment for tolling. WSDOT Tolling Director Craig Stone said it will take 30 days to get everything operational. WSDOT hasn’t been able to name an opening date thus far because the results of the Legislature remain unclear. “We’ve been saying spring 2011 because we’re still waiting on the Legislature to see how things will come together,” he said. State Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima), one of the Senate bill’s sponsors, said the plan is to pass the bills by the end of the month. It still has to make it out of several committees, before going through the

www.kirklandreporter.com House and Senate. “I think the hope is we will have this process done through the Senate and through the House and through the governor some time before the end of February, so DOT has 30 days in which to inform the public and do all the due diligence needed to start tolling the first of April,” King said. The bill endured its first hearing in front of the Senate Transportation Committee Feb. 8, with all speakers in favor of tolling. Construction unions with unemployment between 30 and 50 percent urged the committee to move forward and put some of their men back to work. Representatives from WSDOT

warned the commission that without the toll money to back bonds the project would have to be delayed, and the state would lose millions on cancelled contracts. It remains unclear exactly how much revenue the tolls will produce, Stone said, though $1 billion of bond proceeds are projected to be repaid through tolls. The bill was also scheduled for a public hearing in the House Committee on Transportation on Feb. 16, after the Reporter’s deadline. The effectiveness of the tolls will shape future policy. Should tolls fall short of expectations, the bills contain authorizations for the Transportation Commission to

decision to come back to the Legislature so the decisions, and the accountability for those decisions, can be traced back to elected officials. King said tolling represented the clearest option. Tolling has been used throughout the state to pay for bridges in the past. “I think it’s about the only solution we have considering the economic climate we’re in,” he said. Toll rates on SR-520 would fluctuate based on the time of day, and the $3.50 peak price will apply to drivers who have an installed a Good-to-Go transponder on their vehicle. Those who don’t have a transponder will have their license plate photographed and received a bill for driving across the bridge with an additional $1.50 charge. Those who initiate the extra payment receive a 50-cent break. Toll prices on the weekend, a time when many infrequent users will cross the bridge, will decrease significantly. According to project documents, the cost will be $2.20 (during the 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. peak) for transponder users and $3.70 for the pay-by-mail option. The decision features exemptions for emergency vehicles and transit, but not for any type of carpool. Tolls will not apply between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Account sign-ups for Good To Go! pass, SR 520 tolling Good To Go! passes for upcoming State Route 520 tolls are now available online, by phone and at two new customer service centers, one of them in Bellevue. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) also is deploying mobile customer service centers to help bring Good To Go! directly to drivers before toll collections begin on the SR 520 floating bridge this spring. The Bellevue Good To Go! center is located at 13107 NE 20th St., Suites 3 & 4. It is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tolling is a critical funding source for replacing the vulnerable 520 bridge,â&#x20AC;? Washington Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond said at a press conference Tuesday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starting tolling this spring helps keep project costs down while improving the safety and reliability of this vital corridor.â&#x20AC;? Construction of pontoons for a replacement bridge begin next month in Grays Harbor. Good To Go! is the new statewide electronic tolling system. It allows tolls to be collected on all vehicles at highway speeds with no

stopping or slowing. The SR 520 floating bridge will be the first bridge in the state to use all-electronic tolling, with no traditional cash collection toll booths. WSDOT also announced a special introductory offer at the Tuesday launch event. Drivers will receive a $10 credit towards SR 520 tolls if they purchase a Good To Go! Pass and activate an account by April 15. There are five new passes available ranging in cost from $5-$12. Among the new passes are smaller and movable options. Beginning Friday, Feb. 18, the Standard Sticker pass, costing $5, will be available at 84 participating Safeway stores throughout Puget Sound. Proposed toll rates will vary by time of day, encouraging some drivers to use off-peak hours, alternative routes and other modes of travel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which reduces traffic congestion on the floating bridge during the busiest travel times. To encourage this shift, 130 daily bus trips have been added to 600 existing trips in the corridor. Customers purchase a Good To Go! pass, set up a prepaid account and mount the Good To Go! pass in their vehicle, or register their license plate for photo identification. When driving

on a tolled facility, the pass is scanned or the license plate is photographed and the correct toll is deducted from the prepaid account. Automatic account replenishment is available. Drivers are encouraged to set-up a pre-paid Good To Go! account if they use the SR 520 bridge more than once a month. For drivers without a Good To Go! account, cameras will

take photos of the license plate and a bill will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Under the proposed toll rate schedule, the Good To Go! toll rate might be $3.50 during peak periods, compared to $5 for users who pay by mail.

This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over eight years old. Because, yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely true, you can actually replace your old (and probably very inefficient) furnace and air conditioner as a package for at least $2,159.00 less than you would have to pay at any other time. Please allow me to explain. Every year, the months of January, February, and March can â&#x20AC;&#x153;destroyâ&#x20AC;? my business. I end up losing a ton of money during these â&#x20AC;&#x153;business destroyerâ&#x20AC;? months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for the same thing to happen this year. That is whyâ&#x20AC;Ś My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You I employ great people and I want to keep them working during these long hard months. That is why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to give up trying to make a proďŹ t during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;business destroyerâ&#x20AC;? months. If I can only minimize my losses during January, February, and March, I will come out ahead of the other nine months. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how this (admittedly daring) offer came about: Every year, the big manufacturers of air conditioners have to guess how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never exactly right. So, they always have some inventory that must holdover until next summer season. I went to one of these companies, Coleman and contracted for the purchase of 64 premium air conditioners and furnaces in the four most popular sizes used in Seattle. And, because of the quantity and time of the year, I was able to buy them at drastically reduced, dirt cheap, â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of seasonâ&#x20AC;? prices. They are brand new models and they are NOT the seconds or â&#x20AC;&#x153;blemsâ&#x20AC;? or standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;builderâ&#x20AC;? models. They are factory-fresh, premium air conditioners and furnaces and have full factory warranty. Keep Reading To Learn How To Get A Furnace For Peanuts By putting this furnace and air conditioner package together (then â&#x20AC;&#x153;jaw boningâ&#x20AC;? the factory) and committing to a do-or-die purchase agreement of 64 systems. I was able to buy both the furnace and air conditioner for less than anyone should have a right to pay! So, if you buy one of these normal 64 new, premium air conditioners (but only if one of the four sizes I have will ďŹ t your house, of course), I am â&#x20AC;&#x153;givingâ&#x20AC;? you the furnace and all I ask for is the $541.00 in labor it cost to have your furnace installed. Perfect Fit For Your Home Just call me at (425)562-5162 anytime. I will come out and measure your home (and determine the availability of the proper size). Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, I only have 65 matched systems in four sizes. When they are gone, this remarkable offer ends also. I will show you the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real worldâ&#x20AC;? price on the air conditioner that ďŹ ts your home. Then, I will show you the substantial savings. And it will include all labor and installation materials. Nothing is left out. What A Really Simple Concept By letting you win big now, I will win at the end of the year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting that if I make you an offer that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;irresistibleâ&#x20AC;? (at least it should be if your furnace or air conditioner is over 8 years old) and barely mark it up above the price I paid, I will accomplish two things: 1. I can pay my professional staff of nine employees to work instead of paying them or not paying them to sit at home. 2. I will cover my rent, utilities insurance and taxes in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;business destroyerâ&#x20AC;? months. If I can accomplish these two objectives, I will minimize my losses and the rest of the year, I can be a winner. Absolutely No Obligation Even after I completely explain the installation, there is absolutely no obligation. If you decide you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay. I will give you a surprising gift worth $100.00 because you are kind enough to read this letter and give me a chance to solve my challenge. I want you to think well of OutToday. Com even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy. You Can Buy With NO Cash You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to pay me right away. I have set up a terriďŹ c bank rate ďŹ nancing plan. I even decided not to mark up the interest rate like some companies do. Consider this; if you decide to make monthly investments instead of paying cash, the entire amount of your payments might be more than off set by the savings on your utility bills. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like â&#x20AC;&#x153;having your cake and eating it too.â&#x20AC;? In some cases you can receive up to $250.00 or more in tax credits and rebates. Why This Offer Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Last You must act before March 15th. Here are two reasons why: 1. I can only have sixteen of each of the four sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces are â&#x20AC;&#x153;givenâ&#x20AC;? away in a particular size, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. There are no more at this price. 2. If I have any of the 64 systems left on March 15th (although I doubt I will), this offer still ends. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whyâ&#x20AC;Ś The only reason I am making this virtually no proďŹ t (for me) offer is because of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;business destroyerâ&#x20AC;? months. My business always starts to improve in April and because furnaces cost me so little, I can sell them at 2011 prices next November and December and still come out ahead. Give me a call now at: (425) 562-5162 and I will set an appointment for your no obligation survey.

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 800 per week. Between Feb. 4-10 the Kirkland Police Department reported 481 traffic violations (five DUIs), 17 traffic accidents, 10 noise complaints, seven thefts, seven domestic violence calls, 19 alarm calls, one car prowl, 12 cases of civil disturbances, three burglaries, nine disturbances, five cases of fraud and five harassment calls. At least 40 people were arrested.

Kirkland halts impact fees for existing buildings to boost business REPORTER STAFF

The Kirkland City Council unanimously adopted legislation at its Jan. 18 meeting that suspends transportation impact fees charged to a business when the use of an existing commercial building is changed. The temporary suspension applies city-wide and will be in effect until Dec. 31, 2013. The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal for the suspension is to fill vacant storefronts and offices in Kirkland as the vacancy rate has risen to between 25-30 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tenant improvement and other costs are substantial when moving into an existing space; impact fees were a significant deterrence to choosing Kirkland,â&#x20AC;? notes Ellen Miller- Wolfe, Economic Development manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has now removed a major hurdle for new ventures to locate here.â&#x20AC;?

from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competitive Assessmentâ&#x20AC;? conducted in 2010 by Berk & Associates which recommended ways for Kirkland to remain competitive and reduce vacancy rates during recessionary times. One specific recommendation was to suspend transportation impact fees for changes in use that do not involve

adding new square footage. State law authorizes the collection of impact fees to help defray the costs of new transportation infrastructure. Currently, the city collects impact fees on all new development including development/redevelopment of an existing structure from one use

(e.g. furniture store) to another use (e.g. auto parts store). The temporary suspension does not affect the collection of impact fees for new development or the enlargement of existing buildings. The fee suspension will be reviewed when the city conducts an impact fee study in 2013.

Pros and cons of full-day or half-day kindergarten

Your child is entering school for the first time and you have spent much of your time as a parent raising your young child to be an independent and lifelong learner. Like most parents, I am sure you want your child to love school and a great beginning can definitely help foster that love of learning. I wish I could tell you that there was a clear body of research that supported the half-day kindergarten or the full-day program. There are many different studies out there that show students who attend full-day kindergarten often do better in first grade and on standardized tests. However, there are also studies that show data that by the end of fourth grade there is no difference and children who took more time to play, create, and imagine, actually had better higher level thinking skills long term. There are other studies that say

students in full-day experienced more behavior issues compared to those in half day, but then others that said children’s lack of sleep or family involvement were the major factors in poor school behavior. I have consulted preschool teachers, kindergarten (both half-day and full-day) teachers, and first grade teachers and there are of course many opinions. When it comes down to it, most educators agreed that it really depends on the child and the family situation. All agreed the biggest factor of students being socially, emotionally, and academically ready for first grade was not that they had attended a full-day or a half-day program, but that the child had a very involved family. After teaching first and second grade for 10 years, I agree that family involvement is a big factor in determining if a child is ready for first grade, or any grade for that matter. As a half-day kindergarten teacher now, I am obviously a huge advocate of the half-day program. Our typical day is two-anda-half hours compared to a six-hour day. Students in half-day kindergarten must meet the same state and district standards as students in full-day kindergarten and take the same district-wide assessments. Because of this, there is a lot to learn in a small amount of time, but we do! In my classroom we have reading, writing and math workshops, some science, art and social studies, music Joy Brooke

Share your views with us, and you will be entered for a $1,000 cash drawing and a $500 gift certificate for Fred Meyer. “This information is critical as we strive to provide the best product to our community ,” said Mike Walter, publisher. “Our readers’ input will guide us in adapting to an ever-changing environment.” Partnering with us in our market research is Pulse Research of Portland, Ore., an independent firm that works with media and retailers nationwide.

How can we better serve

and library once a week, and most of all fun! For five and six-year-olds, developmentally a half-day program is a perfect balance. I am the first to admit that sometimes I wish we had more time, but then I think of all the wonderful experiences my students are having in the afternoon – playing with younger siblings, creating, imagining, visiting museums, zoos, and parks, having play dates, and spending quality time with family. These experiences are those that I could never give and lessons that I could never teach. Children rise to meet expectations, but do you want your child to “handle” kindergarten or do you want them to “love” it? If you are fortunate enough to be with your child in the afternoon, what is the rush to get your child into a full-day program? They will be attending school for at least the next 12 years, so allow that extra time for them to read, write, move, explore, create in their own ways, experience new places and practice socializing with friends. As I continue to remind myself, our children are only young for so long, so why not truly treasure every moment. Many studies also show when we rush our children too soon, too fast, much of the joy of learning is lost. One thing is clear, in whatever program, joy and fun should be a part of a child’s day for a child’s love of learning to continue to grow. Now, I understand most families do not have the luxury of one parent at home, both parents work and so half-

day kindergarten many times is not a choice. In that case, we are fortunate in this community because there are wonderful full-day kindergarten programs in many of our schools. We have incredible educators who hold high expectations for students, yet understand the developmental needs of children and so offer a balanced full-day kindergarten program. For more information, you may find the kindergarten handbook on the Lake Washington School District Web site helpful. Kindergarten registration is underway and I know many parents of soon-to-be kindergartners share these same concerns. As a parent, I understand the pressure to get your child “kindergarten ready.” Everyone is feeding you different advice. No matter what I say, your neighbor, the preschool teacher, listen to your heart. In the end, you know your child best and whatever your decision, enjoy the days ahead in the magical land of kindergarten. And always remember, you are your child’s first and most important teacher.

(In response to the Feb. 11 letter “Abortion is a fancy way to say selfish”). As a mother who is now past childbearing age, I know from experience that there are many reasons why a woman over 40 might appreciate that the laws of this country allow her to make her own health decisions, including those regarding abortion. For most women, terminating a pregnancy is not a choice that is made lightly and for merely selfish reasons. I have never had to make this choice but have a concern about a very real problem that exists in our modern society that might have caused me to seriously consider it. Many medicine bottles have a warning to consult a doctor if you are pregnant. No one knows how many drugs may actually affect the fetus in the first two months of gestation, a time when many women are still unaware they are pregnant. Most people would agree that it is immoral for scientists to undertake double blind studies

involving drugs that are suspected to be the cause of serious birth defects using pregnant women. The decision to accept or refuse a prescribed medication that has known side effects, including those that cause damage to a potential fetus, is one that women make every day. In the past, giving up all prescription medications on the infinitesimal chance that I might become pregnant with a third child would have had a significant impact on my health. When a woman considers whether or not to terminate a pregnancy due to health concerns, would you accuse her of selfishness? There are choices in life that an individual needs to make in private, according to her own conscience. I believe this is one of them. Fortunately, most woman do chose to carry a pregnancy to term. However, this means that many children will have health challenges related to the use of legal medications. My hope is that the children born with the myriad of birth defects and mental disabilities caused by a mother’s use of drugs will receive the voting public’s support for increased funding for

programs that improve the lives of children and adults that need special care. I wish those who spend time opposing abortion would instead put their energy into making sure that every child in the foster care system in this country is adopted into a loving family without regard to their physical or mental health.

What is best use of rail corridor? The “Summary of Interests” within the Eastside Rail Corridor Draft Interest Statement is a very good wish list of reasons why citizens should focus on the future use of the BNSF Corridor. However, it does not provide solid arguments to support its conclusion: “Ultimately, the best use of the corridor is as the site of a welcoming, transportationoriented facility for pedestrians and bicyclists and a high capacity transit system that connects Kirkland to the region.” This is a major flaw that leaves aside all the known technical, economic and potential commuter considerations.

Heart Disease. Did you know it’s the No. 1 killer of Americans, taking more lives than the next five causes of death combined? One person in this country dies of heart disease every 37 seconds. That’s the bad news. The good news is, heart disease can be prevented and treated. That’s why there is Hope. The Hope Heart Institute is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to serving humanity through cardiovascular research and education. We have a 50+ year history of revolutionary advances in medicine and educational curricula. Most everyone knows someone who has had a bypass, but many may not know that Seattle’s Dr. Lester Sauvage was one of the pioneers of bypass graft surgery. It changed the way heart disease was (and is still) treated around the world, and his founding of The Hope Heart Institute played a significant role. Dr. Sauvage taking notes Dr. Sauvage, now retired, is known as a caring cardiovascular surgeon who went the extra mile to care for his patients. Beyond their hearts, he cared about their happiness, too. He’d often ask a patient before surgery, “When we save your life, what are you going to do with it?” Dr. Sauvage gave hope to his patients, and helped them think positively and plan to live long lives.

Patients like Allen Sinear and his wife Virginia know what that feels like. “We are ever grateful for the pioneering and compassionate work of Dr. Sauvage & The Hope Heart Institute. A triple bypass in 1975 gave us 35 more years together, and after traveling seven continents hand in hand, the experiences and love we share continue to grow.” Begun in 1959 in Seattle, Dr. Sauvage founded what was originally called the Reconstructive Cardiovascular

Symptoms may include pain in the lower back, abdomen, and pelvis especially during the menstrual period. Other symptoms can be pain during or after sex, intestinal pain, painful urination or bowel movements during menstruation, spotting between periods, and an inability to get pregnant. Some women with have no symptoms at all. When a woman is diagnosed with endometriosis, the symptoms are categorized in two ways: pelvic pain, which most often occurs during the menstrual cycle, and infertility. According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 30 to 40 percent of endometriosis patients develop infertility as a consequence of their condition.

It may also effectively be treated with medications that decrease estrogen, but this approach can only be used in women who do not want to get pregnant. The third approach to treatment is surgical. To reduce your chances of getting endometriosis, The National Women’s Health Information Center recommends exercising regularly, avoiding excessive use of alcohol and caffeine, and keeping a lower amount of body fat. If you have symptoms, talk to your OB/GYN. Your doctor may recommend a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or laparoscopy to determine the presence of endometriosis.

Sound off on Eastside Rail Corridor The City of Kirkland

www.kirklandreporter.com has long been interested in the future development of the Eastside Rail Corridor. Through public comment gathered since last summer, the Kirkland Transportation Commission has authored a Draft Interest Statement about the future development of the corridor. The commission seeks

to hear from community residents and businesses whether the Draft Interest Statement accurately reflects the ideals and goals of the Kirkland community about the corridor’s future development. To read the statement and take the online survey, go to www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/

eastsiderailcorridor and submit your comments by Feb. 28. The statement will be used to gauge the compatibility of future development proposals for the corridor. The statement contains 13 separate interests that are intended to function as a whole.

For background information on the Eastside Rail Corridor and to view summaries of public comment, go to www. ci.kirkland.wa.us/eastsiderailcorridor or contact Dave Godfrey, Kirkland Public Works, at 425587-3865 or dgodfrey@ ci.kirkland.wa.us.

Dentist offers help to parents As many as one in five children in King County may now be going without very basic dental care, according to Dr. Lindsay Barry of Kirkland. “As the economy suffers many families can no longer afford the very basics, including dental care. This means that common childhood dental problems go undiagnosed, which then only makes that dental problem much worse down the road,” said Barry. Barry’s answer to the problem was to help create a new national network of reduced fee dental services called Quality Dental Plan (QDP). Kirkland was one of the first cities in the nation to fully implement this plan, which includes free basic dental checkups for children and their parents when they first join. “We looked at the costs associated with giving quality dental care to our patients and we saw that we could significantly reduce our treatment rates if we saw patients early in the process and encouraged the whole family to take part in good and ongoing care,” said Barry. She points out that many common dental health problems, especially among children, are easily addressed, but become much more costly and time consuming if left unattended. “When a kid is in pain they miss school. Even worse, the cost to treat a painful situation can be three or four times more expensive than it would have been if the problem had been diagnosed a few months earlier.” QDP has begun to receive national attention for its innovative approach to health care, with Barry being one of the first in the nation to understand the significance.
