ormer Seattle Mariner Dave Valle spent 12 years behind home plate in Major League Baseball. But some of his fondest memories of the game come from his first home growing up in Bayside, N.Y. “My dad was really involved,” said Valle. “I was the fifth in the family and we always had teams at the house.”
Playing the game with family and friends at “Chicken Coop Stadium,” which his father built in the backyard to facilitate the game, was how he learned the basic skills for his career. Valle knows how important the game can be for families and communities and said that is why he decided to be a part of the Kirkland National Little Leagues’ (KNLL) annual FanFest on Saturday. “It brings me back to
when I was 11 years old,” said Valle, who is also part of the Mariners’ current broadcast team. “It makes me jealous. I wish I could turn the clock back and do it again.” FanFest played host to 47 KNLL, tee-ball and softball teams and more than 500 people at Big Finn Hill Park. Valle’s participation came courtesy of Frontier Communications’ program “Get Your League in Gear,” along with the Seattle

Juanita Friday Market shows eclectic mix of vendors and beautiful surroundings BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Frogs, crepes and soap have very few things in common – until now. The Juanita Friday Market at Juanita Beach Park opened Friday with 22 vendors selling everything from living aquariums to fresh vegetables. But the big topic of discussion for market goers and vendors was what side of the street the market was set up on.
“I think it is going to be beach side of the park. But a lot better than last year this year the market moved as long as they back across “I think it will do a little more Juanita Drive marketing,” said increase the number to the delight of Tal Chang, who of people who come vendors. runs the Living “I think it down because of Aquariums busi- the setting.

Kirkland City Council members were deeply divided Tuesday evening. In a 4-3 vote, the council recommended to the Planning Commission that a hotly contested Business Neighborhood (BN) zoned property on Lake Street South be changed from a Residential Market designation to Neighborhood Center. The move is just a recommendation and does not mean that the property, which is slated for the controversial Potala Village development, will necessarily be changed to neighborhood center - but it is a move in that direction. The commission asked for a recommendation from council as they review the city’s Comprehensive Plan and the BN-zoned properties in the city. The other BN-
zoned property is already designated as a Neighborhood Center. The difference between the two designations is an up-zoning for the commercial use of the property. The Neighborhood Center designation would allow for commercial use of the space to be more broad, including something like a grocery store. A residential market designation would limit the commercial use of the space to a smaller retail store such as a drug store. Neither designation deals with the density of the residential part of the mixed-use project. Many in the audience, who have fought the Potala development’s high density, were not pleased with the decision as a larger commercial use could ultimately bring more traffic to the area.

EDITORIAL
City should designate Reporter as its official newspaper of record
T
hose of you reading this newspaper today obviously get your local news from the Kirkland Reporter. As the city’s only print newspaper, we provide local news coverage to the widest cross-section of our community – roughly 26,000 households. Yet, the City of Kirkland designated the Seattle Times as the city’s official newspaper of record in 2007. Before that, it was the daily King County Journal that is no longer in service. By law, the city must make its residents aware of legal notices, such as public hearings, ordinance summaries, request for proposals, requests for qualifications and bids and land use/ building notices. This must be done through a print publication. What does this mean for you? You must subscribe to the Seattle Times if you wish to keep abreast of these city happenings. There is certainly a financial burden involved with paying for a newspaper, as opposed to getting one – like the Reporter – delivered free on your doorstep. But beyond finances, the city should designate the Reporter as its official newspaper of record because of who we serve. Yes, the Times is the largest daily newspaper in the Seattle-Metro area. But who in Port Orchard or Duvall cares about a public hearing in Kirkland? The Reporter offers hyper-local news to a targeted audience – those who truly care about Kirkland City government live and work in Kirkland. The city justifies its decision to use the Seattle Times because smaller newspapers, such as the Reporter, “do not have the circulation and/or do not publish frequently enough to adequately meet the city’s needs,” according to city records.
But publishing notices is not so immediate that it would require a daily newspaper. According to the city’s Ordinance No. 4082, which designates the Times as the city’s official newspaper, all notices should be published “not less than five days prior to the hearing.”We could accommodate that. The City Clerk’s Office has also indicated that it does send all notices to the Reporter, but the city cannot control what we do with the information. However, the city can control what is printed by guaranteeing a spot in print via advertising. Sure, the Reporter would have some advertising dollars to gain if the city designates this paper as its official newspaper. But this is not about money – it’s about providing a service to the city and our readers. It’s about being the newspaper of record in the city we represent. And Kirkland residents have named the Reporter as their No. 1 source for news about local government, according to a 2012
city community survey, conducted by Elway Research. In the letter below, Kirkland resident Robin Herberger summed it up best: “As long as we’re paying for the survey, I think it would be prudent for the city to take advantage of the results and include the Reporter in its notification process.” Herberger continues: “Consequences of decisions made by city council members have a major impact on the quality of life for all who live in and love Kirkland. The more people know about what’s going on, the more they will want to participate with their neighbors and have a hand in guiding the future of their city.” We agree. Publishing public notices in the Reporter would empower the community to get involved. As a direct conduit to Kirkland residents, publishing notices in the Reporter would preserve public access to the legislative process and provide a service without which fewer would know what their elected leaders are up to.

Reporter should be official newspaper of record As Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, said, “All politics is local.” So why is the Seattle Times the only newspaper in which the City of Kirkland places notifications for public hearings? Historically it has served as the city’s official newspaper. Well, we’re not Seattle, and we need an update. I think it’s high time that the Kirkland Reporter be included as an official newspaper of record, to broaden the city’s reach in informing the community about important public hearings, such as the upcoming EIS hearing and the one to be held by the Planning Commission with regard to the 143-apartment Potala Village project proposed to be built on the corner of Lake Street South/10th Avenue South Residents have named the Kirkland Reporter their No. 1 source for news about local government, according to the “2012 Community Survey,” a biannual citizen survey commissioned by the City of Kirkland, which
was conducted by Elway Research this year. The report states: “The Kirkland Reporter is the top source (31 percent mention) for news about city government.” As long as we’re paying for the survey, I think it would be prudent for the city to take advantage of the results and include the Reporter in its notification process. I’m sure city officials would want to inform as many interested residents as possible about their right and opportunity to participate in local government. Consequences of decisions made by city council members have a major impact on the quality of life for all who live in and love Kirkland. The more people know about what’s going on, the more they will want to participate with their neighbors and have a hand in guiding the future of their city. To that end, I hope that the City of Kirkland will include Kirkland’s No. 1 newspaper as an official newspaper of record.

King County Council members balk at ICE detainer program It’s a felony if someone who files a
tax return uses a false Social Security number for employment. That person becomes a criminal. If it’s someone other than an illegal or legal alien, they are normally prosecuted. Not so with aliens. Citizenship should be determined. Fingerprint records need to be sent to the FBI to be checked against a national immigration database. The program has been adopted by 2,792 jurisdictions in 49 states. Checking against the data base takes time. It’s the reason why Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) place a 48-hour detainer. Now, we have three King County Council members - Gossett, Phillips, and Patterson _ who are “balking” at the ICE detainer program. Are these Council members willing to abet felons and give up millions of tax dollars currently being held by SS in a holding fund established on questionable returns? Are our three Council members humane concerns for us or for illegal aliens who become felons if they use a false SS number? It is not a minor offense. The 48-hour detainment helps to insure the safety for our citizens and instead of abetting
criminal activity, it helps prevent it. It should not be balked at by elected officials who should uphold the law.

Juanita Safeway’s restrooms stink I have to say I’m so disappointed and frustrated with my local Juanita Safeway and their bathroom upkeep. It seems the bathrooms are constantly either filthy or out of service. I moved to Kirkland a little over a year ago from Ballard and Safeway there seemed challenged by bathroom maintenance as well. I understand high volume low margin sales, that the effect the homeless population puts on public restrooms can be great but Safeway is a multi-billion dollar company and why they can’t put a courtesy clerk in charge of hourly bathroom checks is beyond me. I’ve walked out of the one working restroom before and seen a woman waiting to come in and have been truly embarrassed and thought to myself if that were my mother/wife/ daugh- [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

ter I would prefer her to use a public rest area or gas station restroom. I have written their corporate office before but with no response, just that my message was being sent to the store manager. I spoke to an employee who said that the syringe/hazardous material disposal units were being filled by people and the management decided to close the restrooms. This just seems ridiculous to me. Fred Meyer doesn’t have a problem with bathroom upkeep, possibly it’s because they have larger restrooms that I believe their employees use as well and have regular checks. Safeway spends a ton of money on surveillance cameras I think they should move the syringe disposal unit outside the restrooms and put a camera on it if it’s such an issue. I just know that I’ve been a Safeway customer for more than 25 years and between groceries, gas and prescriptions we probably spend close to $2,000 a month at that store and because of my principals I’m going to be forced to no longer shop there and that upsets me.

Make sure if you are unable to make it on your day to email or send a note with your child prior to that day if possible. If the teacher is counting on you and you don’t show that may cause some inconvenience for all. 8. Be positive and respectful. Teachers usually always welcome another smiling face that enters the classroom. Although we may seem engrossed in what we are doing often we notice the little words of encouragement given to the students and the respectful interaction volunteers show that help to add to that culture of respect and joy of learning in the classroom we work so hard to create and for that we are so grateful. As a teacher I don’t know what I would have done many times without my invaluable volunteers. The other students in the classroom benefit so much from dedicated individuals and so does your own child. As your child’s first and most important teacher, by volunteering in your child’s classroom you gain new insights in to your child’s learning and also show your child that you want to be a part of their world.

Dear Parent, I appreciate your willingness to be a volunteer in the classroom. I realize that all parents’ time is indeed very important, so I want you to know every minute is very much appreciated by your classroom teacher. I also love that you want to know how to be a “valuable” volunteer. Classroom teachers want this volunteer experience to be the best for you and the students in the classroom. Here are some expectations that will hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect and also enable you to be a valuable part of your child’s classroom: 1. Although it is exciting to be in your child’s classroom, realize that you will not be working solely with your child. Many times you may not even get to work with your child that day. You are there to work with the class and give your full attention to those kids who you are assigned to help. There are many times you may just be wandering the room helping students who need help, working in small groups, or even working one and one and your child may not be involved in the activity. Please explain this to your child as well. Remind them you are here to work with the class! 2. Remember that your own child’s behavior may not

be “typical” when you are present. Frequently, children act out or are very emotional when their parent is present. This may just be out of excitement and joy that you are there, but sometimes it takes a different form. Try to reinforce the class rules by directing your child to show appropriate behaviors. 3. Remember to follow all school rules and safety procedures. For instance, schools do require that all volunteers and visitors to the school sign in and out at the office and wear a name badge for identification. 4. Confidentiality is something all educators must display as a professional in this field. Teachers expect volunteers who work in the classroom to be “professionals” too. Never discuss academic progress of other students or issues involving other students outside the classroom. 5. Be flexible. Often times an assembly is scheduled last minute, or fire drill, etc. The teacher will try to forewarn you, but in some cases may not get a chance. Also, remember that you may not always be doing the same activity. Some days you might help prepare materials while other days you may be at a math station or reading with a child. 6. Try to make as little distraction as possible when entering the room. You are entering a learning environment and you want to add to student learning, not take away. Many teachers have a certain area or bin full of copying and other tasks designated for volunteers to do if they come in the middle

[ COUNCIL from page 1] Councilmembers Bob Sternoff, Toby Nixon and Dave Asher voted against the change, while Mayor Joan McBride, Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione, Penny Sweet and Amy Walen voted for it. Some on the council voiced displeasure with the decision as well. “What has been expressed earlier in the generalization is where we want to ultimately go and get more businesses into neighborhoods that now require driving to go anywhere to get anything,” said Asher. “And in doing that you don’t want to, to put it ineloquently, screw the neighborhood, like I am concerned we are doing here tonight.” His comments led to outbursts from angry residents in the audience dressed in

The aquarium also comes with a year supply of food. “Kids like them and some people buy them as a desktop pet,” said Chang, who will also be at the Kirkland Wednesday Market at Marina Park this summer. Haas, who has done the Friday Market for years, said that while small, the market has given her some of her most loyal customers. “We had a good crowd last
year,” said Haas, who does multiple markets each year. “If we can get more booths it will help.” The Trimmed Wick sells handmade soy-based candles and soaps and has been in business for 10 years. The homemade products have been so successful that “cut your own slice” vendors have been available at Thriftway stores. The Trimmed Wick can also be found online at www.trimmedwick.com “My son was born with eczema and started making
our own soaps,” said Haas, who is from Woodinville. “The markets really help our product because we depend on word-of-mouth.” Many of the businesses at the market depend on word-of-mouth to advertise and the market gives them a place to display their goods without the cost of a storefront. Some just sell delicious goods for the day at the beach like the Oak Hills Farms Hawaiian Shave Ice, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
their trademark red shirts. “The comp plan envisioned an island of commerce and mixed-use without dramatically greater density,” said Walen. “I don’t think that anyone envisioned unlimited density in that particular area … What I think we need to do is allow significantly more density than 24 units per acre but we do need a density cap. I am interested in a compromise.” The council ultimately came to compromise on many issues. The issue with the project’s density has a direct impact on traffic on Lake Washington Boulevard, which can be one of the most congested streets in the city. Sweet said that she understands the traffic concerns of the residents but “a person went out and
purchased that property under an understanding of what they can do with this property. That implies a contract to me to a certain degree that I believe we have to pay attention to.” Sternoff agreed with Sweet but pointed out the same argument could be made for those who already live in the area. “Zoning is to give some kind of certainty and that is not just for the developer. Truth be told, I am a developer,” said Sternoff. “… The certainty is for the people that already live there.” Many residents have complained about not being able to get out of their driveways because of the traffic volume on the street. The issue of bus access to the area, in order to help mitigate traffic conges-
tion for residents, was also discussed. “The big bus doesn’t go on Lake Washington Blvd., okay, big problem,” said Sternoff. “Buses go to centers. Buses go to where people are. Just because you put people somewhere doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to have a bus there.” But personal opinions fueled a lengthy discussion. “I do believe that there needs to be more density there than folks are asking for,” said Sweet. “… I have read every single email about the traffic. I am in that traffic all the time as well … I don’t believe that 100 more units or something in that number is going to break anything.” Those emails and citizen activism changed the mayor’s mind - to a point - stating

CARIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter that she could have supported the original 163 unit proposal but has scaled back her opinion of the size of the development. The maximum three residents spoke on the issue during the public comment portion of the meeting. “Kirkland is a community with a small-town feel, not a big inner city feel with high rises,” Kirkland resident Tom Grim told the council. Council members agreed that they want to encourage businesses and not office space in the structure and did so through a recommendation on buffers for each. The council recommended that the commercial space be limited to 4,000 square feet. Despite the recommendation to change the commercial designation, the
council did agree on most other recommendations for the property, most of which impact the residential density of the project. One of the biggest was that there should be a residential-density limit for the land, something that had not been imposed. But that exact limit was not recommended during the meeting. Nixon said that he believed the density should match or be close to the surrounding buildings, a statement that all the council members agreed with. But Sternoff pointed out that the council’s recommendation of a 13-foot height limit for the commercial space on the bottom floor, along with current height restrictions for the building, will limit the size of the building and its density.

Joey Buong, whose family just moved into the house next door to the one on fire was not able to return home after learning of the fire. “My brother saw the smoke and called me at school,” said Buong. “It is kind of weird that this happens in the first month that we are here.” The fire was contained to the one house and did not spread to neighboring property. Buong said that his neighbor’s house was an active place with a family. “They have a lot of people there all the time,” said Buong. “I think they have a band or something.” Firefighters moved three drum kits out of the house to the sidewalk.

Kirkland officials to host Totem Lake conversations Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and City Councilwoman Amy Walen invite Totem Lake Business District companies, interested stakeholders, and citizens to talk about the future of a vital urban center. In 2010, the city hosted a Totem Lake Symposium where financial, development, and design professionals collaborated with local property and business owners on how to revitalize the Totem Lake Business District. Participants expressed their current and future vision of the area, which were integrated into the Totem Lake Action Plan, adopted by the council in late December 2010. The conversation about Totem Lake continues with McBride and Walen over lunch from 12-1:30 p.m. May 21, June 25 and July 23 at Café Veloce. For reservations, call the City Manager’s Office at 425-587-3001. Attendees are responsible for the cost of lunch.

Teresa Richter
in our current society. Stress can come from a major event such as a death, divorce, or automobile accident. There are other forms of stress that can cumulatively add up, such as a bout with the flu, an unhappy relationship, pressure at work and poor diet. Our adrenal glands help our bodies deal with major stress. If we are in a life-threatening situation our bodies produce adrenaline so that we can fight for our lives or flee. However, with the constant stress of running around, eating on the go, and trying to fulfill demands life puts on us, our bodies get stuck in flight or flight mode. This is where the troubles start.

You have heard the words adrenal fatigue and stress. What do they mean and what do they mean for your health and well being? If you have difficulty getting up in the morning, wake feeling unrefreshed by sleep, or are craving salt, you may be experiencing adrenal fatigue. Additional symptoms of adrenal fatigue include: lethargy, increased effort to accomplish daily tasks, decreased sex drive, decreased ability to handle stress, light-headedness when standing quickly, increased recovery time from illness, mild depression, less enjoyment of happiness with life, increased PMS, increased caffeine usage, thoughts that are less focused, memory is less accurate, decreased tolerance to other people, and decreased productivity. If you don’t feel awake until about 10 a.m., feel very low around 3-4 p.m., and then feel better after the evening meal than you may be experiencing adrenal fatigue. What causes adrenal fatigue? The most common things are lack of sleep, poor food choices, staying up late even though fatigued, using food and drinks as stimulants when tired, trying to be perfect, lack of enjoyable and rejuvenating activities. The biggest and most important cause is stress. Stress is part of daily life
When in fight or flight mode our bodies pump out epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. Adrenaline causes a physiological response in many systems. The responses most relevant to our dayto-day health include our immune system and gastrointestinal system shut down. This causes gastrointestinal conditions, malnutrition, and frequent illnesses. When our adrenal glands are no longer able to respond to stress we are then in some stage of adrenal fatigue. There are adrenal stress tests available, as well as other physical tests your doctor can do. Consult your naturopathic doctor for the right assessment and treatment options.

Kang baseball team loses to Mount Si, then Liberty to end season BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
The Lake Washington baseball team battled its way to the KingCo title game last week, but came up just short of the championship, losing to Mount Si 3-2 on Friday. But it was the loss to Liberty on Saturday in a loser-out game to compete at state that stunned the team. Both games took place at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue. Against Mount Si, the Kangs fell behind early
giving up an early run during the bottom of the second. But Lake Washington came right back during the next half inning, scoring a run to tie the game. Mount Si countered with a run during the bottom of the third for the 2-1 lead. The Kangs temporarily tied the game during the fifth, but Mount Si scored the winning run during the bottom of the sixth. Despite the loss, Kang starting pitcher Nick Johnson threw another good game. Johnson went
the distance, only allowing three runs on eight hits. Victor Mayorquin and Alec Wong both collected an RBI during the game. Against Liberty, the Kangs needed a win to advance to state but a four-run first inning for the Patriots put Lake Washington down early. Despite the deficit, the Kangs chipped away at the lead with a run during the bottom of the

A two-run sixth gave the Patriots the 7-5 lead and Lake Washington could only manage one more run before the game and their season came to a close. Steve Semler had two RBI during the game, teammates Zach Johnson and Jordan LaFave also
had an RBI each. The team advanced to the championship game of the KingCo tournament Thursday with a 6-3 victory against Bellevue at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue. The Kangs jumped out to a 4-0 lead after three innings of play, as starting pitcher Zach Johnson stifled the Wolverines. Lake Washington added to that lead, pushing their advantage to 6-0 during the bottom of the sixth. Bellevue showed life

The starting pitcher threw a complete game six-hitter, striking out just one and walking five. The offense was led by Steve Semler, who went 2-for-2 with three RBI and a double.

Juanita boys and girls finish second at KingCo track meet By Matt Phelps
mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
K
irkland high school girls athletes took nine first-place finishes out of the 16 events during the 3A KingCo championship meet held last week at Juanita High School, while the Kang and Rebel boys scored three individual first-place finishes.
Life
As a team, the Juanita girls finished second with 151.33 points behind Liberty with 154 points. “We had an amazing meet for both squads,” said Juanita head coach Neil Kells. “We desperately wanted to win it this year, but Liberty had to have twice as many girls as us to win. Our 14 almost beat their 28.”
...after
The boys also took second place overall with 117 points, behind KingCo champions Bellevue with 185 points. The Lake Washington boys (54) and girls (68) both finished sixth. Juanita senior Alanna Coker finished the meet with first-place finishes in three separate events. Coker won the 100-meters in 12.08 seconds and the 200-meters in 25.87 seconds. In the field events, Coker took first in the triple jump with a new KingCo record with 40-feet, 3-inches. She was declared the winner of the long jump with 17-feet, 1-inch on the first day of the meet but the

results were misinterpreted by a judge. Coker finished second in the event. Juanita senior Kate Cryderman won the discus with a career-best distance of 122feet, 2-inches. Cryderman also won the shot put with a distance of 38-feet, 4-inches. “Kate Cryderman and Alanna did an amazing job for us in individual events,” said Kells. Juanita’s Molly Grager won the high jump with 5-feet, 6-inches. The Juanita girls won two of the three relay events. Rebels Kathryn Wuchter, Kaila Bass, Regi Lammers and Mikayla Jones teamed up to
win the 400-meter relay with a time of 50.33 seconds and the 800-meters with a time of 1:48.02. “The team ... ran both races and got the baton around the track to Mikki Jones who came from behind in both races to win,” said Kells. Sara Wilson won the only event for Lake Washington, taking first in the 300-meter hurdles in 47.43 seconds. Rebels girls took three of the top five places in the 200-meters and the triple jump. “We are going to take the momentum we have started at the Kingco meet and take it to the Sea-King meet against
Metro,” said Kells. “Our kids are hungry and are out to prove themselves.” Juanita senior Alex Wallin won the 110-meter hurdles in a time of 15.25 seconds and the 300-meter hurdles (40.39).

sponded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in the 10400 block of Northeast 132nd St. around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Officers found the injured victim had a probable broken arm. The victim was crossing Northeast 132nd Avenue southbound in the crosswalk with two other pedestrians and had reached the eastbound lane when the male driver struck him, according to Kirkland police.

Club of Kirkland has raised substantial money each year for a variety of local causes, but given the current state of the economy, few causes seem as critical as helping families who suddenly find themselves without a place to live. For this reason, Kirkland Kiwanis is conducting their third annual all-you-can-eat Pancake Breakfast, with 100 percent of the net proceeds going to Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (KITH), an Eastside organi-
zation dedicated to providing transitional housing to needy families. Co-sponsors are KITH, and the neighborhood associations of Market, North Rose Hill, Highlands, South Rose Hill/Bridle Trails and Kingsgate (Evergreen). This community event will run from 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 26, at the Peter Kirk Community Center, located at 352 Kirkland Avenue in downtown Kirkland. Breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, fruit and beverages. The suggested donation is $7 per person, although nobody will be turned away. The fund-raiser breakfast will be held in conjunction with the 7 Hills of Kirkland bicycling event taking place

Dorothy C. Hansen Dorothy C. Hansen, a long time resident of Kirkland, Washington, died April 25, 2012, in Claremont, California where she moved in 2007 to be closer to her family. Born Dorothy Rose Carlisle on March 1, 1914, in Kettle Falls, Washington, to Fred Green Carlisle and Ellen Agnes Carlisle, Dorothy grew up on her family’s apple farm along the Columbia River where she worked long days with her family throughout childhood. During the Depression the government purchased the farm, condemned to be flooded by the Grand Coulee Dam. Dorothy was the salutatorian of her graduating class at Kettle Falls High School. In 1935, she married Ralph L. Hansen, a neighbor and friend she had known since birth.Their first child, Ralph Alan, was born in 1936. In the first years of their marriage she worked at various jobs to help support the family and to enable Ralph to return to college to prepare to be a teacher. Upon his graduation in 1940 from the University of Washington, they moved to Ryderwood, Washington where Ralph began teaching at Ryderwood High School and worked for the timber company. Their second child, Mary Ann, was born in 1942. In 1943, they moved to Clarkston, Washington where Ralph taught at Clarkston High School and worked in the Potlatch Lumber Mill in Lewiston, Idaho. Their third child, Dorothy Jean (Jeannie), was born in 1944. In 1947, the family moved to Kirkland, Washington where Ralph taught science and math at Kirkland High School (later named Lake Washington High School) until his retirement in 1969.
Ralph died in 1975. After taking bookkeeping and typing classes, Dorothy began work in 1950 at the Kirkland Bank, the only bank in Kirkland at the time. She continued to work at the bank under its successive owners and name changes until she retired from the Bank of America in 1979. She was a member of the Eastside Business and Professional Women in which she continued to participate after retirement. She was also, after retirement, an active member of the Bellevue-Yao City Sister City Program, travelling to Japan and hosting Japanese friends in her home. After retirement she also travelled extensively in Asia, Europe and the United States, attending many Elderhostels which she loved. Dorothy spent a long life in service to others. She was actively involved and devoted to the work of the Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Kirkland, serving as an elder, Sunday school teacher and in many other roles. She drove people to doctor appointments, ran errands and cooked meals for shut-ins, and sat long hours at the bedside of those who were ill. For more than twenty years, she served weekly as a volunteer at Group Health Hospital in Bellevue. Dorothy was predeceased by her parents and her siblings, Marguerite Smith, Loren Carlisle, and Marie Moles; by her husband Ralph; and by her son Alan. She is survived by her sister Betty Abbott of Reno, Nevada; daughters Mary Ann Hansen (husband Rudy Larsen) of Glenn, CA and Jeannie Samuels (husband Don Samuels) of Diamond Bar, CA; grandsons Philip Jolley of Burlingame, CA, Dean Samuels of Diamond Bar, CA, and granddaughter Julie Salaz (husband Jack) of Hesperia, CA; great grandchildren Nicole and Ryan Samuels and Jenna and Joel Salaz; and eight nephews and nieces. A memorial service will be held at the Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Kirkland on June 27 at 3pm. 626078
