Bellevue squatter found guilty of trespassing in Kirkland luxury home BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com
A
Kirkland jury found a Bellevue woman accused of squatting at a luxury home in Kirkland guilty of first-degree trespassing on Thursday at Kirkland Municipal Court. Jill Lane, 32, was sentenced to 364 days in jail, with 362 days suspended. This means if she complies with her sentence and serves her jail time, she will
not have to serve the additional 362 days in jail. She was also ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, with $4,750 suspended on the condition that she spends two days in jail and pays a $250 fine and has no contact with the property or property owners. Lane was arrested in June 2010 after she had taken up residence in a lakefront home that was owned by a local bank in Kirkland’s
Market neighborhood. The home overlooking Lake Washington was valued at more than $3 million, but construction had stopped before it was completed and the building had been abandoned and left unsecured for months. At the time, people who occupied the home said they were taking possession under a legal concept known as a “Living Trust.”
A Kirkland police investigation determined that Lane had no authority or permission to be living in the residence. Bank officials and their security team observed Lane living out of the residence for several weeks and reported the trespassing violation to the Kirkland police. This was the first time a case of this nature had ever occurred in Kirkland.

Kirkland’s Fourth events celebrate veterans too
Three sets of triplets graduate in class of 2012

The chances of a pregnancy resulting in triplets is about one in 8,100. So the chances of having two sets of triplets in the same school is truly rare. But what about three sets? How about three sets in the same grade level? The statistics may be astronomical, but it has been everyday life for three Kirkland families. The Carters, Hobbs and Whites all celebrated graduation with the rest of Juanita High School’s class of 2012 on June 19 at the school’s field house. “They are all like my brothers and sisters,” said Jamie Hobbs. The triplets are a mix of boys and girls within each family. “People ask us all the time ‘why aren’t you identical?’ But that would be really creepy,” said Jamie Hobbs. The odds of having identical triplets are one in 150,000, according to several studies.

Mother Lynn Hobbs met the Whites during a multiples support group and it gave her some needed confidence.

The annual Fourth of July parade and fireworks show organized by Celebrate Kirkland has become tradition for many families during the past 13 years. Thanks to some hardworking volunteers, and donations from some of Kirkland’s biggest businesses, that tradition will continue. “Almost an entire generation of children have had Kirkland’s Fourth of July as a serious part of their childhood,” said event organizing chair and Kirkland City Councilwoman Penny Sweet. “These kids are the ones who will require that their own kids have the same kind of experience, wherever they are.” The events will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the annual kids’ parade, where Kirkland youth are invited to participate along the parade route. The experience is a celebration of pride in country. But the Kirkland parade is also a celebration of military veterans. “(The parade will have) the biggest contingent of veterans in any parade [ more FOURTH page 3 ]

land Summerfest, which will be held Aug. 11. Duck Dash organizers are moving the event in order to have more time to fund raise and so members can spend the Fourth of July with their families. For those families and residents who plan to attend the public fireworks display, Sweet has one recommendation - walk. “It’s really good for you and the walk home on the Fourth of July is absolutely spectacular,” said Sweet. The fireworks show will be held just off of Marina Park in Lake Washington and is visible from most Kirkland waterfront parks. The event is produced by Western Fireworks, starts at 10:15 p.m. and will last approximately 20 minutes. The fireworks display has become even more important as personal fireworks are illegal in the City of Kirkland. That ban was imposed on the newest Kirkland neighborhoods to the north, including Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate, following annexation last year. Anyone observing nonemergency violations of the fireworks ban should contact police at (425) 577-5656. The public fireworks make up most of the approximately $61,000 that was raised for the day’s events.

The car dealer also pledged to match up to $10,000 in contributions. With the downturn in the economy during the past few years, fund raising has been difficult, said Sweet. This year was tough as well. “Fund raising started very slowly this year but finished on target,” said Sweet. “It was a very different combination of donors and far less individual donors.

Words of wisdom for graduates
T
he four high schools in Kirkland held graduation ceremonies for a combined 688 seniors during the past two weeks. We wanted to acknowledge these students’hard work and have printed each name in the pages of the Kirkland Reporter during this and last week’s issue along with some photos. We solicited some advice from some of the most prominent people in Kirkland and here is what they want you to consider as you embark on your new journey:
“My words of wisdom are simple: be happy, be nimble, work for a more just world, keep learning and remember you are our hope for tomorrow.”- Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride “I encourage each of you to become the best that you can be and to celebrate each step of the way. Our future is up to you.”- Kirkland City Councilwoman Penny Sweet “I often use this Nelson Mandela quote and my own words that follow to inspire kids. ‘There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.’ Find a passion and pursue it. You will live a much happier life.”- Kirkland City Councilman Bob Sternoff
“Be guided by your principles – stick to your values – apply yourself and continue to represent your family and your school.”Juanita High School principal Gary Moed “This is something my dad passed on to me that I’ve never forgotten. ‘You may be exceptionally talented, intelligent and unique but the most important quality you need to develop is persistence.
You will be frustrated and at times feel defeated, but persistence will get you through while others will give up. It is the one thing that will get you to where you want to be in life.’”- Executive Director of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Bruce Wynn And to all the Kirkland high school graduates, congratulations and good luck in the real world!

Outrageous sermons about killing gays in the national news In reply to the letter written by Elizabeth Samse, I would first of all like to come to the defense of the Reporter. Maybe it was incorrect of me to not substantiate the claims of the outrageous sermons. Honestly, I did not feel it necessary as they had been all over the national news, but I will be more than happy to substantiate them now. I love reading our local news but also follow the news outside of Kirkland as well. The comment that was made about rounding up all gays and putting them behind electric fences came from Pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, N.C. The children who were singing about homosexuals not going to heaven happened at Apostolic Truth Tabernacle Church in Greensburg, Ind. I also spoke about a pastor who wanted the government to kill all gays – that comment was made by Curtis Knapp, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kan. and this was followed by Dennis Leatherman of the Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church in Oakland, Md., who suggested that his flesh kinda likes the idea of killing the gays. If you would care to take the time to search for any of the attacks that I have clearly outlined for you above, you will very easily see that I am in no way being paranoid and psychotic,
as they really did happen. I would like to ask you when the last time anybody called for your death during a religious service, or that of your partner and millions of other people? I think that I can very confidently state that you have not – I have, and I was deeply disturbed. I’m fairly certain you seemed to just skimmed my letter and not actually read it as I did not once refer to the people who made these hateful comments as being in the Kirkland neighborhood at all – all I said was that I was worried that it would happen here. I didn’t even suggest that these people were Christian leaders – I just called them church leaders. It also doesn’t matter how many people are preaching this – for one single person to stand in front of a group of people who look up to him, and for that person to call for the government to kill a huge number of people is unconscionable. It needs to stop, and it needs to stop now. The reason for writing my original letter was because I was tired of reading about gay children committing suicide after being bullied, and that it is time for everyone to re-evaluate their thoughts and start to be more inclusive. Children should be taught that it is not appropriate to bully, but when they are hearing it from a bullypulpit there is no wonder that they do not know any better.

Emotions inspired during Broadway concert I attended the Joyful! Noise Sings Broadway concert recently at the historic First Baptist Church in Seattle. Kirkland’s own Melissa and Jeff Thirloway are part of the wonderful choral group that arranged and performed this thoroughly enjoyable musical concert. The program featured songs from Broadway musicals, some very familiar and some undiscovered gems. The selection was a perfect combination of upbeat, inspirational, soulful, sad, mournful, joyful and energetic. Start with the depth and variety of the program, add the 22-member chorus that sang these songs in a manner that showed them off at their best, and you have a memorable evening that inspired a variety of emotions. The Joyful! Noise Choir sounds more like 52 people, with a range and volume so large they filled the sanctuary with music. The program included songs from Godspell, Guys and Dolls, Oliver!, Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof, The Fantasticks, West Side Story, and many more. Particular favorites of mine were “Comedy Tonight” from
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum; “Good Morning Baltimore” from Hairspray; “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha; “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” from Rock of Ages; and the Hawaiian arrangement of “Somewhere over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz. There were solos, including violin and vocal solos by Ballard High School students, duets, and songs sung by the entire chorus. It was a tremendous experience that made the audience feel as if we had actually been to a Broadway musical. So many emotions were inspired: joy, excitement, sadness, appreciation for love and loss, humor. The chorus captured and overpowered us with their songs. Jeff Thirloway directed the chorus and arranged the songs. He was full of enthusiasm and obviously a great director with the ability to keep the chorus energized. The highlight of the show was Melissa Thirloway, with a voice of incredible range and emotion. Melissa stole the show with her commanding, soothing, and powerful singing talent. She brought down the house with her emotional solo of “How Could I Know” from The Secret Garden. If you have an opportunity to experience the musical talent of Melissa and Jeff, take it! The only negative thing I can say about the concert is that we were confined to our seats. The music made you want to jump up and dance around the room! We look forward to hearing more from this amazing chorus.

What crime is happening in your neighborhood? BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
The Kirkland Police Department has gone through a lot of changes during the past year to keep up with demands of a growing city. The building of a Public Safety Building in the Totem Lake neighborhood and the addition of more officers are just some of the tools that help the department better serve the community. But there is one tool that is a big help to any police department – informed and alert citizens. “A priority goal of the Kirkland Police Department is to work with the community to reduce crime through a better informed citizenry,” said KPD Capt. Bill Hamilton. “Reducing the potential for victimization through timely information sharing is a great benefit to our community-oriented policing efforts and has been proven effective in combating crime in other communities.” The department is now using the national service CrimeMapping.com (www. kirklandwa.gov/crimemapCRIME

It is a resource where citizens can sign up to see where and what crimes have taken place within the last 180 days. “If a neighborhood quickly learns of recent car prowls or burglaries in the area, they will be able to take certain precautions to reduce the likelihood of becoming victimized themselves,” said Hamilton. “They are truly the eyes and ears of their police department.” Kirkland residents can sign up on the site, enter a home, business or school address and see what has taken place. Residents can search various parameters, including date range, crime type or distance from a specific address. Data is transferred from approved police case reports to the system every Tuesday through Friday. Crime types displayed include arson, assault, burglary, public disturbance, robbery, motor vehicle theft, along with other crimes, and are depicted by different icons on the map. Less serious crimes such as general traffic stops are not shown. Police Department reported 552 traffic violations (five DUIs), 45 alarm calls, 30 noise complaints, 15 thefts, 13 car prowls, seven domestic violence calls, six calls for harassment, 18 acts of fraud, nine calls of a disturbance, four assaults, seven burglaries and three animal calls.

“This system is offered nationwide and each state may categorize a crime differently, such as our disorderly conduct may be another state’s public disturbance,” said Hamilton. “Because of this, the system displays 16 different general crime categories and we have linked our particular corresponding crime types to each category.” The icons will expand to show general details of the incident but the names of those involved are not shown. Users can also subscribe to receive free automatic customized crime alerts via e-mail for their neighborhood and can also access crime prevention tips through the site. The program may be eyeopening for some residents as to how many criminal incidents there are in the city, as most go unseen by the general public. “People may be a bit surprised at first to how busy their police actually are and to see crime icons depicted on a community map,” said Hamilton. “But I don’t see this as a negative thing, I actually think it’s the right thing to do.” According to the Crime Mapping system, Kirkland, a city of 81,000 people, had 29 crimes committed from June 14-20.

CONTRIBUTED 9,000 people, had 62 crimes and Bellevue, population 122,000, had 61 crimes committed during the same time period. “The Kirkland community is safe, this empowerment through information will help us keep it that way,” said Hamilton. The service was acquired through a grant from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority and is only offered so far in 11 other cities in Washington state and with the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Department, although similar services are available nationwide. The KPD took on the service thanks to its concerns about the theft of personal property
in the city. “We want to be proactive, and when we examined auto thefts and thefts of property from within autos, we realized that many times the car keys and other expensive personal property were left in the vehicles, very often in plain view,” said Hamilton. “We also found that people were sometimes reluctant to call the police when something seemed a bit odd or suspicious for fear of wasting our time or being wrong.” Hamilton said that the KPD wants people to trust their instincts when it comes to crimes and not be afraid to call police. “We would rather they be wrong, than not call at all,”
said Hamilton. “We knew that we could reduce victimization and increase two-way communication by making people more aware that such crimes were occurring, but we needed to do it in a timely manner.” Kirkland Police officers will also be using the program to help them more easily identify crime trends in their assigned patrol districts. Residents can find a five minute crime mapping tutorial video on the city website. “We hope that the use of crimemapping.com will raise awareness, reduce victimization and allow the community to help us catch the bad guys,” said Hamilton. “We enjoy that very much.”

His first novel deals with a not too distant future where a Cold War-like genetic contest produces specialized killing machines. How did you become interested in science fiction writing? I think, if I trace it back far enough, the movie Star Wars is what got me started down that path. I was three years old, and I remember seeing Star Wars at the drive-in with my parents. It was raining out, and the sound stopped working halfway through the movie when the window speaker got wet, but still, seeing those space ships, and storm troopers, and androids left a big impression on me. All that action and excitement. I didn’t understand any of it, but I knew I wanted more. As I got older, I just became more and more interested in all kinds of sci-fi. In second grade I had to write a story for school, and of course it was a science fiction story that I wrote. It was a time travel story with saber tooth tigers. I still have that story in a trunk somewhere. Later, as I kept writing, I realized that science fiction is a great lens through which to do little thought experiments with the world. You can take the world as it is now, change one little thing, and explore where that takes you. Were there some science fiction writers you particularly admired? Did you ever get to meet/talk with any of them? I really admired Ben Bova’s fiction growing up. Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Piers Anthony, and C.S. Lewis were also favorites of mine. I did get to meet Ben Bova at an awards ceremony in Florida, so that was a huge fan-boy moment for me. He was actually seated right next to me at the table, and we got to chat for a bit, and the whole time I was thinking that I couldn’t believe I was talking to Ben Bova. I don’t even remember what we talked about. It’s all a blur to me now. Was it a struggle to get published? It was a definitely a struggle to get published. I wrote the whole time I was growing up, but I didn’t get
serious about submitting my work until college. From that point on, I wrote stories and submitted them to magazines for 10 years with no success whatsoever. I had a whole desk drawer full of rejections before I ever sold my first story. I kept all the rejections because I read once that Stephen King had kept all his rejections on a spike on the wall, and I think I had this idea that one day when I finally sold my work, I’d be able to point to all my rejections as a learning curve, or a triumph over adversity, or something. But the problem came when the drawer filled up. I was pretty sure that Stephen King hadn’t needed two spikes, but I was going to need two drawers to hold my rejections, so that was definitely a low point in my writing. What was your first break as a writer? I seemed to have slid past the gate keepers by slow degrees. My first sale was for $50 to an online publication that went silent not long after buying my story. After that, I had some success with writing a play, and then I finally sold my first pro story to Asimov’s Magazine. After the sale to Asimov’s, I started selling short stories on a regular basis to various genre magazines like F&SF, Ideomancer, and Lightspeed. Many of these stories were later reprinted in Year’s Best anthologies, and translated into other languages. You’ve won a number of writing awards. Did you feel that you had made it as a writer? No, not at all. Award attention is nice when it comes along, but I can’t let myself think about that kind of thing too much. I’m just happy that my work is being published. I wrote for a lot of years where my stuff just ended up in the trunk, so just having my stuff out there where people can actually read it is very gratifying. That’s really the only thing I could ever ask for. What was the driving force to write the novel, “The Games?” Like most of my stories, writing The Games was a way for me to think deeply about a subject that I was interested in. In The Games, I was exploring the limits of genetic engineering, virtual reality, and what it means to be a conscious, self-aware be-

The three threads kind of intersected in an interesting way in my head, and I was able to play them off of each other as I wrote the novel. I also wanted to explore the question of whether the end really justifies the means when it comes to certain moral questions related to scientific advancement. You work at Valve Software as a a full-time writer. Did the story lines for the software titles that you worked on shape your thinking for the novel? No, I actually wrote The Games before I ever started at Valve. It does seem like the kind of story that might make a fun game for genetics geeks to play though. I’d love to play genetic engineer for a day – actually tinker with the genetic code, create new organisms, see what is possible. Of course, a game like that would only be as fun as the strength of its scientific support, and there’s still so much that isn’t understood. The book deals with scientists creating “gladiators” from the genes of non-human life
forms. Any idea if science is close to creating the gladiators in your book? I don’t think they’re close right now, but I think it’s the kind of thing that might be possible in the future. Genetic engineering is getting more and more sophisticated all the time, so I wouldn’t want to rule anything out. Of course, just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do—but it often means that somebody, somewhere will try it. How hard was it to explain technical/scientific terms/techniques in the book, yet keep readers engaged? That was a huge, central concern I had when writing the book. I’m infinitely fascinated by genetics and all its associated minutia, so I can go on and on about it. I can think about it, and write about it, for hours without ever tiring of it; but I realize that I’m in the minority in this regard, and I could very easily bore the pants off of readers. I usually have a very low tolerance for boredom in fiction, but genetics is kind
of my blind spot. When it comes to how much science to keep in the book, I rely a lot on my editors and first readers. The last thing you want is for readers’ eyes to glaze over. Do you see yourself as any of the characters in the book? Maybe a little of Silas. A little of Ben. A little of Evan. I think its hard to write characters that you can’t inhabit to some extent or another, at least for a little while. Even the villain Baskov probably had a touch of me in there somewhere. Do you have another book in the works? If so, what can the reader look forward to? I do. The book is called Prophet of Bones, and it should come out in 2013. It’s an alternate history thriller set in a world where carbon dating has proven that the Earth is 5,800 years old. Although the Earth is young, the fossil record is identical to ours, and the novel follows what happens after archaeologists dig up the bones of Homo floresiensis.

How to evaluate a volunteer opportunity ered some trends in the “volunteer business.” (1) In general people like to volunteer yet oftentimes can’t find a match to their interest or time commitment constraints. (2) Organizations (sorry) often don’t have a clear picture regarding how to both recruit and to utilize volunteers. (3) Organizations oftentimes resist “supervising” volunteers out of fear of losing them, therefore lack direction and accountability. (4) Quite often volunteers leave because they are bored rather than being overworked, or because Bill LaMarche

H
ow do you evaluate a volunteer opportunity – not only regarding linkage to your personal interests and passions but also in terms of the actual need for service, or – and this is the touchy one – does the organization actually do what they claim to do, provide the service they claim to provide, and furthermore, are volunteers treated with respect and gratitude rather than being taken for granted? Whoa – now that I’ve opened the can of worms … In working with numerous organizations and volunteers, I’ve discov-
they feel unappreciated for their efforts (a warning to the organization)! In considering volunteer opportunities potential volunteers should look for: a match between their passion and the opportunity; a match to the passions of other family members that might additionally be involved; a convenient travel distance and a convenient volunteer schedule; the want or desire for potential training, either formal or on the job; an understanding for potential emotional strain (often in health care); the ability to take time off without guilt; the overall length or term of commitment (months versus shifts) and most certainly – the working
environment, including supervision and/or direction provided by the organization’s professional staff. Additionally, (some think this is unfair) inquiry should be made regarding the volunteer opportunity to ensure that it actually does what it claims to do; that it has a history of successful implementation of defined services; that it is managed well; that its cadre of volunteers seem enthusiastic and focused – and ever increasingly important to funds raising efforts – do they manage their funds well? I would add to this litany, do they manage their professional staff well? Volunteering is very rewarding and greatly
needed – but one must also be careful to hold the organization itself accountable for vision and mission and overall effectiveness. Let us not forget, as well, that the volunteer needs to be accountable, to do what they agree to or say that they will do, and be responsible in their efforts.

Kirkland’s City Council on June 19 authorized City Manager Kurt Triplett to sign a new, three-year animal control contract with King County. Under the new agreement, King County will assign one animal control officer to the northern district, which includes Kirkland and eight other cities. And, for three years beginning in 2013, King County will continue to license, control and shelter Kirkland’s animals. This new contract is a significant improvement from the original King County contract, which expires at the end of this year. One of the new contract’s most significant improvements is a change to the way King County charges Kirkland for animal control services. The new system bases 20 percent of the costs on population size and 80 percent on use. The county’s old system based 50 percent of animal services costs on the city’s population size. The other 50 percent was based on use. The new formula results in a decreased cost to Kirkland for all three years of the new contract. The new contract also caps program costs in the first year, and restricts increases to inflation and major

Pet of theMonth Meet Maura!
Maura is a beautiful 2 year old kitty girl. She has sleek black fur. She can be a little shy when you first meet her but as soon as you begin to pet her she melts–she loves being petted from head to toe and if you run your finger nails down her spine she is in heaven! She is very playful–and loves to attack the “toys on a fishing pole” with young or old visitors in our store. It is so much fun to see her race around our store and then to the top of the cat trees and finally chase her tail just for the sheer joy of it! She has grown accustomed to the store cats and dogs and would no doubt become part of a “pack” of a gentle dog or other cats after a little transition, but she would also enjoy being the princess of your household. She has been spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped. You can come to meet this beautiful young cat at Dooley’s Dog House, 1421 Market St. in Kirkland. Pet of the Month is sponsored by:

population shifts in 2014 and 2015. For Kirkland and other cities, this new approach controls costs, minimizes financial risks, and ensures predictability. “The commitment to cap costs and establish predictability in 2014 and 2015 was critical to the City of Kirkland,” says Kurt Triplett, Kirkland City manager. When the city’s leaders analyzed the possibility of a Kirkland run system for the same time-period, they discovered that the required start-up costs exceeded the price of King County’s system. Kirkland’s leaders will continue to monitor the effectiveness and cost efficiency of the regional model’s service provision. At the same time, they will continue to evaluate a local service delivery option, which at some point, could be the city’s more cost-effective channel of delivering animal services.

Small rooftop fire leads to evacuation at Madison House BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Fire crews from Kirkland, Bothell, Redmond and Woodinville responded to a small rooftop fire on Monday, which caused an evacuation at Madison House retirement community. CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter
Approximately 120 residents, some with wheelchairs and walkers, and staff filled the parking lot of Madison House on Monday afternoon, as a small fire from rooftop construction work triggered an evacuation at the retirement community. “Everything worked as it was supposed to and
there were no injuries,” said Diane Umayam, Madison House general manager. “The response was really wonderful.” Fire crews from Kirkland, Bothell, Redmond and Woodinville responded to the call that came in at about 1:30 p.m. Umayam said that the roof of the building has been under construction and some welders’ smoke

It is pretty special.” The Carter and Hobbs triplets are even close in age. Alex, Kelly and Nicole Carter are just seven days older than Jamie, Shannon and Jacob Hobbs. “We all met in first grade,” said mother Christy Carter. “We have been very close ever since. It is fun and there is never a dull moment and very loud.” Jacob Hobbs and Kelly Carter are best friends. All of the Hobbs and Carter graduates will continue on in school together as they move on to Cascadia College. But the togetherness will not last forever. Nicole Carter plans to transfer to a university after a year at Cascadia.
“We all get along and we are all pretty close,” said Nicole, who was voted most likely to become president by her graduating class. “It will be hard to be so far away.” But they have not always done everything together. “We went our separate ways for prom,” said Jamie, who was voted best laugh by her graduating class. “We do like separation sometimes.” And there have been definite advantages academically for the triplets. “If I leave my textbook at home my brothers always have one,” said Nicole. But paying for college for three kids isn’t easy for any family – especially when they are all in the same grade.

Local authors launch new Books on the Bus program BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com
R
iding the bus can be a solitary experience. Some plug in their earphones, look out the window, or take a nap until they reach their destination. But a new communitywide book program for bus riders, Books on the Bus, aims to make mass transit commuting more of a conversational experience. “We are all so busy being in our own different little worlds – being behind our computers, in our cubicles and in our homes,” said Garth Stein, Seattle author of the New York Times best-seller “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” during the program’s launch on Thursday at the Kirkland Transit Center. “With mass transit, we all come together with a common goal. We may go our separate ways when we reach our destinations, but for a few minutes we form an ad hoc community on a bus. The Books on the Bus program will take that community and grow it.” Transportation Choices Coalition, King County Metro, Richard Hugo House, King County Library System, and Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association partnered to form the new program. Each quarter, Books on the Bus will highlight a book for participants to read on their
bus rides. The first selection is “Hotel Angeline: A Novel in 36 Voices.” A project of the Seattle7Writers group, “Hotel Angeline” was written live on stage as part of a weeklong collaboration among 36 Pacific Northwest authors. Half of the proceeds from sales of the book will support local literacy nonprofits. The majority of selections will be written by local authors or take place in the Pacific Northwest. During the reading period, riders will have many opportunities to discuss the book—on buses, at stops, or in gathering places across the county. At the end of the reading period, Transportation Choices will host an event to celebrate the book and encourage further discussion. Stein, who came up with the idea for “Hotel Angeline,” said the Books on the Bus program “civilizes” everything that the book’s authors believe in – a community coming together around books. “Conversation and dialogue are essential to our society,” Stein added. “The act of literature necessitates that a book be read to be valid. This is the epitome of conversation and so stands at the center of our communities.” Several regional and local officials attended the event, including Kirkland Mayor
Garth Stein, (left) Seattle author of the New York Times best-seller, “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” signs a copy of “Hotel Angeline” for Mayor Joan McBride during the launch of the new Books on the Bus program at the Kirkland Transit Center on June 21. Also pictured is Redmond author Dave Boling (center), who, along with Stein, co-wrote the book with 34 other local authors. The book is the first selection for the program. CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter Joan McBride, Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee and King County Councilman Bob Ferguson. Ferguson knows firsthand how valuable reading on a bus is. He takes time to read during his daily work commute to Seattle on Metro Route No. 41. “One thing that really resonates with me is finding time to read in our busy lives,” said Ferguson. “With a full-time job and now 4-year-old twins, I value more and more every day that 25 minutes I
get on Route 41 that takes me downtown to read the books I’m reading.” Several years ago, Ferguson started a segment in his online constituent newsletter called “Bob’s Bus Books.” “As I would ride the Metro buses, often the person sitting next to me would say, ‘Hey, what book are you reading?’ or ‘I’ve read that book too,’ or ‘What do you think of that author?’ which is a good conversation starter and it was a little bit of community on that bus that I would take
every day,” said Ferguson. “It’s that sense of community that bonds around books and bonds around literature that is simply different than so many other mediums we have.” Carla Saulter, membership manager at Transportation Choices and author of the blog Bus Chick, Transit Authority, said public transit also provides many opportunities for interaction. “Buses create mobile and very diverse communities all over the county, all day long,”
Middle School in Mukilteo as a shop/problem-solving and math resource instructor. His unique approach to teaching mathematics resulted in his students achieving the highest test scores ever. What else made Rory such a valuable member of our community? He was involved in many local activities and even started some of the groups himself. As a 16-year member of Washington Cathedral Church, Rory organized and led a “Wild at Heart” ministry for men. He and his family ran a latte stand at the church with all proceeds going to children who couldn’t afford camp. This was very dear to Rory’s heart as he himself had received a scholarship to church camp after the traumatic death of his closest brother when he was a teenager. He also participated in the “Santa Conspiracy” where he dressed up as St. Nick and brought holiday spirit to retirement home and assisted
living residents. His last act of service at the church was providing lattes and carnations for women on Mother’s Day. Over the past 15 years, Rory’s business, Beacon Marketing Group, provided quality apparel and promotional merchandise for local schools, booster clubs, sporting teams as well as many school districts such as Mulkilteo, Edmonds, and the Lake Washington School District. The business name was in reference to “a Beacon of Light.” Rory loved helping people by problem solving and never shied away from difficult deadlines or tricky orders. He also serviced many local businesses such as Evergreen Academy, the Pacific Institute, Fairplay, Sound Mortgage Inc., Kirkland Volunteer Fire and EMT, Bridge Ministries, Town and Country and Girly Girl Wine and Gifts. Brittany, Garrett and Amanda played sports throughout their school years
and Rory/Beacon helped all their schools (Robert Frost Elementary, Kamiakin Jr., Juanita High) and several of their sports teams. Rory and Beacon Marketing served the Juanita Rebels Booster Club as merchandiser, as well as local neighborhood swim teams and sport teams such as LWYSA and Hot Dog USA. When going through the orders, if Rory saw that even one athlete on the team had not ordered a t-shirt, he would put in an extra so no child was left out. His passion for supporting kids was evident in everything he did. As son Garret described, “There was a lesson in every conversation; a moral to every story. He taught you something every time you talked with him. There was always something to learn.” Those learning moments were probably lifesaving during Garret’s recent deployment to and safe return from Afghanistan in the US Army. Recently, Rory took up wine making, learning ev-
added Saulter. Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee, who travels a lot internationally, says its universal that people who ride public transportation usually keep to themselves. Lee said the new Books on the Bus program will create opportunities for others to “know their neighbors” and to break the ice. During the event, local novelists Stein, Jennie Shortridge and Dave Boling read chapters of “Hotel Angeline.” “My mother and father met on a bus, by the way, so we have them to credit or discredit,” laughed Boling, who lives in Redmond. As he read, Metro buses pulled up to the bus bay, unloading passengers who briefly listened as they passed by. Boling described the experience of helping to write “Hotel Angeline,” as “pros in a pressure cooker.” He added the funniest part about the writing process was that people watching the streaming video were allowed to see how the process works. “I thought the hilarious one was when (author) Carol Cassella showed up in her blue, fuzzy bathrobe because that’s how she writes at home.”

erything he could to produce the perfect end product. His final result was praised by many wine connoisseurs as “Spectacular!” Rory always strived to be the best person he could be. He believed there was always room to better oneself – that you should never be complacent – never allow yourself to be stagnant. He had an infectious personality that brightened every room he entered. He had a gusto and passion for life. Each day was a celebration to thank God for one’s existence. He had three priorities in life: Faith, country, family. He loved his family deeply. He cherished his children and as he did he reminded them, “I love you but I love your mother more. You will all move out of the house someday. She and I will grow old together.” Rory’s legacy lives on because of his actions and service he gave. Rory was the neighbor and community member we all need.

Maya Li Pearl Giddings received the top award of $2,000 and will be attending Oregon State University in the fall where she hopes to pursue a degree in renewable materials and forestry. Maya, who volunteers with the city’s Green Kirkland Partnership, hopes she can help shape “a more efficient and greener world for future generations.” Receiving an award of $1,000, Riley Toher distinguished herself as a top scholar and committed volunteer for the Special Olympics, Tent City and environmental youth groups. She stated that her various volunteer activities “led me into my role towards a just community.” Riley will be attending Whitman College. Zakaria Cherif was awarded $500 and will attend Washington State University this fall. He was this year’s ASB president and was active in food drives and numerous other activities. About social justice he wrote, “I firmly believe that a community cannot be considered ‘just’ without equality, so I make sure to spread and endorse equality each day of my life.” Sarah Krause, who will also attend WSU, received an award for $500 because of her outstanding volunteer service. “It is a pleasure to acknowledge the academic achievements of these three exceptional LWHS scholars,” said Gabe Waluconis, a trustee of the scholarship fund. “This memorial scholarship honors my sister, Lily Waluconis, who graduated at the top of her class from Lake Washington High School in 2002. She went on to win a scholarship from Carleton College and was about to graduate at the top of her college class when she passed away in 2006, receiving her Bachelor’s degree posthumously.”

sustainable village. The purpose of this trip was to establish relationships with the 25 village families and to learn from each other. The team met with every family and heard their personal stories. Team members were struck by the fact that the hopes and dreams of the villagers were similar to their own hopes and dreams. The villagers told the team they wanted better housing, the opportunity to make a profitable living, and a better life and good education for their children. The team helped two families plant new plantains on their plots of land. In addition to growing plantains, a large tropical plant resembling the banana tree and bearing similar fruit, the villagers grow watermelons, corn and peppers. Other activities included craft projects with the women and children, games, dances and serving a meal to the villagers.
space in Kirkland, at 10230 N.E. Points Drive. The new space offers more opportunities for technology integration, providing Mortenson and its design and industry partners with a more collaborative environment to work on projects. While packing for the big move, Mortenson found a way to further its support of the community. The company donated more than 1,000 3-ring binders and other supplies to schools, including Benjamin Rush Elementary, Redmond Junior High, Bailey Gatzert Elementary, Kings School, Parkside Elementary and Apex Facility Resources warehouse for school teachers.

The last day at the village proved to be very emotional as more than 100 villagers shook hands, hugged and waved goodbye to the church team. Although the communication was difficult with the language barrier, the heartfelt emotion was evident. One team member said, “While it’s difficult to leave, I feel that we are leaving these villagers in a very good place. They are very happy people who are working hard and have a strong community to support them in creating hope for their future.”

dent. “We have a history of strong badminton programs at the junior highs in our district, it is an Olympic sport and we believe it will be a popular offering at the high school level.” There was a list of 25 different sports in the interest survey with 166 out of the 782 high school girls who responded picking badminton as their No. 1 choice, Reith said. “(Badminton) is something that has increasing interest,” said Reith, who added that the sport is already very popular at the middle school level. The district reviewed the feasibility of adding girls’ badminton, including the availability of facilities, coaches and competition. The girls’ badminton team from LWSD’s four high schools — Redmond, Eastlake, Lake Washington and Juanita — will compete against each other along with teams from Bellevue, Interlake and Sammamish high schools. Newport and Mercer Island high schools also plan to add the sport, Reith said. Badminton is not a WIAAsanctioned sport, but with the potential of up to nine Eastside schools offering girls’ badminton, Kingco officials are discussing the possibility of forming a girls’ badminton league and “some kind of championship event,” Reith said.
