Potala project poses no significant impact to neighborhood, study says

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ AND MATT PHELPS Kirkland Reporter

The proposed Potala Village project has drawn much opposition for potential surrounding neighborhood impacts. But a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) released July 12 concluded that the project would not have any significant impact to neighborhood character or transportation, according to city standards.

However, project opponents say that the project will still impact the neighborhood and the EIS fails to address several important issues.

City officials stress that this is not the final document and the community still has the opportunity to weigh in on EIS findings.

The city will accept written comments about the EIS through 5 p.m. Aug. 24. In addition, the public will have the opportunity to comment on the EIS during a public hearing at 7 p.m. Aug. 14 in the City Hall Council Chamber.

Following the public comment period, the city will issue a final EIS in October that will include responses to comments received during the public comment period.

The EIS examines the height, bulk and scale of the proposed building, residen-

Kirkland man has been charged with attempted rape of a child after being caught in a sting trying to have sexual contact with his girlfriend’s daughter.

Ryan D. Firoved, 36, went to the Baymont Inn in Kirkland expecting to meet his girlfriend and her 9-year-old daughter for a sexual encounter on July 5 and instead was arrested by Kirkland police.

The woman’s daughter was not at the hotel at the time and the mother was cooperating with the sting, according to police records.

Seattle police previously investigated the man for soliciting sex with minors online and he was convicted in 1999 of child rape. Firoved, who is also married to another woman, told his girlfriend

that he wanted to have sexual contact with her daughter in phone calls recorded by Kirkland police, according to court records.

Firoved’s girlfriend came to the Kirkland Police station on June 25 to first report conversations she had with the man about sexual encounters he told her about involving himself and minors. Firoved told his girlfriend on several occasions that he had sexual contact with other minors, one as young as 8-years-old.

He told her, “I guess you could say I am a pedophile, but at least I am not a predator. People come to me and I make it consensual,” according to charging documents. Firoved then told his girlfriend that he would like to have sex with her daughter, the documents continue.

The resignation of Juanita High School baseball head coach Sherman Leach has prompted the Lake Washington School District to end its investigation into bullying and gay slur allegations against him.

The district placed Leach on administrative leave with pay from his position on April 13, after a JHS student accused the coach of bullying him and making gay slurs about the student and his friend. Leach resigned from

his position on May 1.

“In this case, the investigation was not completed because the coach resigned,” said Kathryn Reith, communications director for the district. “There were no formal, official findings.”

In his resignation letter to the school dated May 1, Leach said the accusations are untrue and denied any wrongful conduct, according [ more COACH page 7 ]

www.kirklandreporter.com project proposal includes the extent to which it would result in significant transportation impacts.

Kirkland resident Chuck Pilcher, who lives near the site, said traffic in that area is already out-of-control.

He said he and his family recently pulled their car out onto Lake Washington Boulevard at Houghton Beach to go to Santorini Greek Grill.

Traffic was backed up all the way to Carillon Point, so Pilcher got out of his car and walked to the restaurant, ordered his food, and got the food before his wife and son got there.

“Yeah, it’s really walkable and pedestrian friendly,” he joked of the area.

Pilcher said the EIS findings were “a mixture of interesting and unacceptable.”

He was disappointed that the study only looked at major intersections, some of which were at least a halfmile from the project site.

He was also disappointed that the EIS didn’t address the traffic volumes on Lake Street and Lake Washington Boulevard.

According to the study, the project would result in increased traffic volumes and delay at several intersections near the site. However, the operational effects of the additional vehicles do not exceed the city’s adopted threshold for significance and are therefore not considered a

BRIEFS Expect traffic delays during Kirkland Uncorked Commuters should expect traffic delays due to Kirkland Uncorked on Friday, July 20 through Sunday, July 22, at Marina Park. The Lakeshore Plaza Lot, Lakeshore Plaza Drive, and Kirkland Avenue from Lake Street to the city dock will be closed from Friday at 5 a.m. to Sunday at 10 p.m.

The city’s boat launch will remain open all weekend, however boaters should expect delays. More than 40,000 attendees are expected during the threeday event. Event goers are encouraged to plan for their parking in advance. For public parking, including the Kirkland Municipal Garage, go to www.kirklandwa. gov/parking. For event information, go to www.

significant impact, according to the EIS. Pilcher said significant or not, the project will still cause adverse traffic impacts, including during construction that “is going to cause massive congestion,” he said.

All Traffic Data Services, Inc., a traffic data collection firm, collected hourly traffic data for seven days, beginning May 12, on Lake Street South south of 10th Avenue South, near the project site.

The firm used existing traffic volumes to help determine future conditions, which were evaluated for 2014, the year the proposed project would be complete.

Other pipeline projects - including the Yarrow Bay expansion, South Kirkland Park & Ride expansion, Northstar Junior High relocation, McCleod and Parkplace redevelopments - are also expected to impact transportation in the study area.

Projected traffic volumes without the Potala development on Lake Street South are 1,095 total vehicles during the Saturday peak hour, and 1,100 vehicles during the Sunday peak hour.

The study looked at how the project would impact traffic conditions. Currently, the study area does not have any intersections that are “approaching congestion” or at a “high level of congestion.”

The study found that without the project, three intersections would reach the level

The third conversation about Totem Lake continues at Café Veloce from 12-1:30 p.m.

In 2010, the city hosted a Totem Lake Symposium where financial, development, and design professionals and local property and business owners shared ideas about how to revitalize the Totem Lake Business District. Their concepts were integrated into the Totem

of “approaching congestion,” while a fourth would “high congestion.”

The project is expected to add about one to three seconds of average delay at each of the signalized study area intersections. During the AM peak hour, all signalized intersections are expected to see some delay.

During the PM peak hour, the project would add one to three seconds of average delay at the four intersections projected to operate at at the “approaching” or “high” level of congestion in the 2014 conditions without the project.

At the unsignalized intersections, the project is expected to add one to 12 seconds of average delay to the stop-controlled movements, degrading the Lake Street South/10th Avenue South intersection, to “approaching” congestion during PM peak hours in the eastbound direction.

Neighborhood character Another area of controversy is whether the project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood character.

Many opponents are concerned that the project is too dense.

With 143 units on a 1.21 acre site, the proposal would result in a density of approximately 118.4 dwelling units per acre. This is at the high

end, but within the range of densities found in the study area, according to the EIS. The proposal would also result in a greater density of land use on the project site.

However, this change to the land-use pattern to include multi-family use is consistent with the surrounding landuse pattern and the Kirkland Zoning Code. With recommended mitigation, no significant unavoidable adverse impacts are anticipated, the study continues.

According to the study, the proposed building footprint is larger and lot coverage higher than much of the development in the study area. However, the study emphasized that the footprint and lot coverage are allowed under the existing development standards for the Neighborhood Business (BN) zone.

In addition, the style of the proposed development, while permitted by the city’s development standards, is generally not consistent with development in the area, the study continues.

The study cites aesthetic elements that appear to be out of scale with the neighborhood, including the building size and mass, landscaping, building colors and building street relationships. The study

The Potala site is located at the southeast quadrant of Lake Street South and 10th Avenue South, about a half-mile from downtown. FILE PHOTO suggests three alternative development scenarios that could be used to mitigate those impacts, including a central courtyard, three buildings and an “H”-shaped footprint.

Project background The city issued a Determination of Significance, requiring an EIS on Aug. 4, 2011. Prior to starting the EIS, developer Lobsang Dargey of Dargey Enterprises delayed moving forward with the study because of the city’s pending parallel actions to review the existing BN zone.

The proposed project lies within the BN zone, which permits such uses as retail,

office and residential. Those actions included a councilimposed moratorium on development in the BN zone that was originally set to expire on May 15, but was extended to Nov. 15. The moratorium will provide the Planning Commission time to study potential changes to the BN zone, which opponents say conflicts with the city’s Comprehensive Plan.

Calls to Dargey from the Reporter requesting comment on the EIS were not returned by press time.

Dargey’s attorney filed a lawsuit against the city over the building moratorium in May. At the developer’s request, the city reinitiated the EIS process in April.

Kirkland seeks user feedback to help revamp city website Kirkland officials are preparing to revamp the city’s government website, www. kirklandwa.gov, and are consulting their citizens and website visitors on how to enhance it. An online survey is now available to answer questions about its usability, ease and difficulty in finding information, and how users access the site. The survey is available at www.research. net/s/KirklandWebSurvey12 until July 31.

“The city website is a vital communications tool for us,” noted Kirkland’s webmaster Rob Mullin. “We are intending to give it a fresh look, ensure information is meaningful, and design it current standards and trends so that all users can access it from all technology devices.”

EDITORIAL

Watch for local candidates on the primary ballot

I

f you have not received yours yet, ballots for the Aug. 7 primary were mailed this week.

There are several local candidates Kirkland residents should look for on the ballot to decide who should represent you in Olympia.

The Reporter recently featured profiles of each of the candidates running for the 45th Legislative District, Pos. 1. Those candidates include incumbent Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland; political newcomer Jacob Bond, a Democrat from Kirkland; and Republican Joel Hussey, of Redmond.

Goodman, who is seeking a fourth term in his seat, said he is running again because he feels like Olympia is getting things done.

He wants to add to that and build on his own record of things he accomplished, including introducing 123 bills, with 68 enacted.

Just one of nine in the state legislature who has a law degree, Goodman has put his background to use in Olympia, helping to reform domestic violence, DUI and wage garnishment laws.

Bond, however, says that Olympia is broken. The 27-year-old combat veteran vows to bring common sense back to Olympia. His priorities include veterans, education and job creation.

Also a political newcomer, Hussey wants to bring some “business sense”to Olympia’s growing debt disasters. A University of Washington MBA graduate, Hussey founded his own company, Tailwind Capital, which leases commercial aircraft to clients all over the world and manages their investments. The fiscal conservative believes the state’s top priority, education, can be properly funded by trimming other expenditures, not additional revenue.

In the Municipal League’s annual review of candidates running for local elected office, the organization gave Goodman the highest rank of “outstanding.”The league also rated Hussey “very good”and Bond “not qualified.”

Residents in the Finn Hill neighborhood should also keep an eye out for candidates running for the 1st Legislative District that represents that area.

That district will present one of the longest-running incumbents in Olympia – Democrat Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, 71, who is running for state senator.

In the primary, McAuliffe will face-off against two-term Northshore School Board member and former president, Republican Dawn McCravey, and Democrat Guy Palumbo.

Both McCravey and Palumbo are running to improve state education. Palumbo also emphasizes helping small businesses.

There are also several candidates on the primary ballot for the 1st Legislative District, Pos. 1.

Three candidates are challenging incumbent Rep. Derek Stanford, a Democrat, including Republicans Sandy Guinn and Brian Travis, and Democrat Greg Rankich. Guinn has served on the Bothell City Council and as deputy mayor.

Travis cited transportation, education and state’s rights as his top priorities. Rankich is the president and CEO of Xtreme Consulting Group, a business and IT consulting firm based in Kirkland.

He recently made a $3 million donation to the Washington State University athletic department.

The top two candidates from each primary race will advance to November’s general election.

Statewide, there are other several important races to look for too, including governor, lieutenant governor (Kirkland’s Bill Finkbeiner, a Republican, is one of the candidates), attorney general and state auditor, to name a few.

Don’t forget to return your ballot through the U.S. Postal Service or at a ballot drop box.

The deadline to return ballots is election day, Aug. 7. Ballots must be postmarked by then or in a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on that day.

If you don’t receive your ballot within 10 days of election day, contact the Elections Office at (206) 296-VOTE (8683).

We need Richard Sanders If you are concerned about the encroaching control of government overreach in our lives and want to do something about it, here are two actions you can take: 1) The primary ballot is coming this week - vote for Richard Sanders for Supreme Court and tell everyone you know in the state as well. He did a great job on the court previously defending citizens’ individual and property rights. We need him back.

2) Tell the Kirkland City Council that we want to cancel our affiliation with ICLEI, the local government arm of U.N. Agenda 21. The push for “sustainable development” is not benign, it is a worldwide agenda to force everyone to conform to elite visions of the perfect utopian society. Agenda 21 affects ownership of land, private transportation, and in general, controlling all human activity. “Individual rights will take a back seat to the collective,” said Harvey Ruvin, vice chairman of the ICLEI. For more information,

a great primer on Agenda 21 is at freedomadvocates.org The City of Kirkland has been a member of ICLEI to help move this agenda forward, and citizens must demand it be STOPPED.

Where are the yellow pedestrian flags?

The question is asked over and over again as follows: “What do people do with all those yellow pedestrian flags?” I have lost count on how many people have asked me that question. I can tell you how many are lost but I can’t imagine what people do with all of them.

In the first six months of this year, the city lost 287 yellow pedestrian flags. The good news is that this year’s losses so far are smaller than in past years. Some interesting statistics: there are 15 crosswalks with yellow pedestrian flags, normally stocked with a total of 140 flags. After our recent nice sunny weekend, we replaced 25 yellow pedestrian flags on Monday morning. Once again, I ask: “What do people do

with all those yellow pedestrian flags?”

Oops, I said it again Councilman Nixon, you could be the birth of yet another “oops.”

To finalize a formal action on the parks and roads ballot measures is language that implies a decision has already been made. You are just looking for an undeserved pat on the back, a re-enforcement of what you’ve already decided and a blessing of yet another unnecessary tax increase. The public hearing to put or not to put the measures on the ballot should have occurred before the Kirkland Council took action to finalize their decision. It was not.

I believe what the council meant was to make the public think their voices will be heard and that it will influence the council’s decision on whether it will put the measures on the ballot. I don’t believe it will.

They might as well be just talking to the wall. Whatever the public wants, you are going to do what you want with or without them.

The hearing will be a farce, a

showcase to give the public a sense of caring. But you don’t. Such was the case of annexation, with allowing unlimited multi-residential densities, creating more traffic jams, and changing zones by the Planning Director as a “corrective” action without public hearings only because it would take too much time.

You are not protecting or improving our quality of life.

Your autocratic methods continues to prevail. It too can be interpreted as yet another “oops” forgetting to include the public at the proper time. But then again, you’re a politician.

You want endorsements. You only put issues of fire, police, and parks on the ballot if you think you are going to win. I believe the pubic also needs to know enough to make an informed decision. If you desire to befuddle the public, thank goodness for the pro and con statements on the ballot. Finally, memory is something that is really hard to change. I would hope citizens remember the way you do business with or without them. “Oops, I said it again.”

Serving in the community provides personal satisfaction GET T tion of effective service.

So many times those who want to volunteer are hesitant, for numerous reasons including: Do I have the skill?

Do I have the passion? Do I have the commitment? Very understandable. I might add to this list of reservations concerns about: Length of time? Distance from home?

What if I have to miss a shift? What if it turns out that it isn’t a match to my passion, interest or time schedule? Again, very understandable.

three new sewing machines in addition to five we donated in 2009. When the ladies were able to start using them they were so happy! Our goal was to teach them how to sew and teach others the basics of sewing. Word spread fast and a total of 28 women came to at least one (of our four) classes.

The lessons included understanding the basic parts of a machine, using a pattern, identifying different types of fabric, and knowing how to use measurements. After just four lessons they were able to make purses, headbands, hair scrunchies and skirts. On the last day we held a recognition ceremony and fashion show. The fashion show gave our very excited students the opportunity to show off what they made. Six women attended all four days and we gave them an award for this because they made a commitment and stuck to it. As a finale, and to our amazement, the ladies put on a program with singing and dancing and gave us each a gift. We all cried! Because of this project these ladies now have a skill that they can: teach others, make clothes for their families and make clothes to sell and support their families.

The project budget was $80,000 plus travel (all 23 people traveling to Antigua paid their own way). This was made possible by contributions from: BBRC, RCKD, the Ballantine Family Fund, Rotary district 5030, and a matching grant from Rotary Jan Martinka

This system will allow the Ministry of Education to do teacher training and teach special classes to the students on Barbuda. Previously, in order to accomplish these things it would take a threehour ferry ride each way for all parties.

3. As part of the project, all 1,500 third grade students were given an illustrated dictionary. Rotarians from BBRC, RCKD and ARC personally presented a book to each student. The smiles are worth it when we tell them we came from America to give them their dictionaries. We also tell them about Rotary and that it is because of Rotary that they are getting dictionaries. What a thrill! Imagine their feelings when they are told they can put their names in the book because for most of these kids this is the first book they have owned.

4. We continued Americas Foundation for Chess First Move Program. This program teaches chess to second and third grade students as part of the curriculum. First Move has proven to increase math comprehension, strategy and thinking skills.

Amazingly, attendance is up on “Chess day” because the children don’t want to miss school when the chess lessons are being given.

5. We also introduced sewing lessons for ladies in a poverty-stricken area of Antigua. Terri Lingenbrink, Connie Thompson and I taught the classes in a community center. We donated

MY TURN

P

articipating in a Rotary international project is enlightening and gives you a fantastic perspective on the scope of Rotary and its tremendous impact on the world.

In February I went on my fifth trip to the country of Antigua and Barbuda in the East Caribbean, West Indies.

Our project was a joint effort with the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (BBRC), the Rotary Club of Kirkland Downtown (RCKD), The Rotary Club of Antigua (RCA) and Newport High School’s Cisco Networking Academy.

Rotarians John Martinka and Morris Kremen from the BBRC, 14 Newport students and two of their teachers, Jeff Mason and Rod Thompson, Terri Lingenbrink and Connie Thompson helped me with the sewing project and to them I am thankful. I am a Rotarian from RCKD and this was our eighth trip and the fifth one to Antigua.

Each year we have focused on the needs that have been expressed by Antigua’s Ministry of Education and the Rotary Club of Antigua.

This year was amazing!

Why? Because here’s what we accomplished: 1. We installed more than 250 computers in schools, half in new labs and half upgrading existing labs (we did in prior years). This brings the total number of computers we have put in Antiguan schools to almost 1,500.

2. We installed a video teleconferencing system between the State College in Antigua and the Sir Mc Chesney George School in Barbuda!

Kirkland prepares community for the Big One

BY M.J. HOECHERL UW News Lab

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training program isn’t your typical class. It’s a hands-on course instructed by actual Kirkland firefighters who prepare ordinary citizens to take care of each other in the event of a natural disaster.

Residents of the Puget Sound region have been increasingly warned about an impending natural disaster in recent years, mostly with talk of a major earthquake or volcanic eruption.

The Nisqually earthquake back in 2001 did a decent job of indicating this, measuring 6.8 magnitude on the Richter scale. It also killed one person and injured more than 400. In response to this, the City of Kirkland offers an eight-week class that is geared toward preparing community members for the event of a natural disaster.

Karen Lightfeldt is a city volunteer in the Office of Emergency Management.

She describes the training as a way to help residents respond to disasters where first

responders who provide fire and medical services cannot meet the demand. She believes that more community members who know what to do if a catastrophe strikes will help the community thrive as a whole.

“It helps the public to be more aware of being prepared and confident in their ability to help,” Lightfeldt says. “Also, there are many statistics from other disasters where it was the volunteers who were injured, or worse, because they didn’t know how to protect themselves.

The more CERTs we have in the community, the more prepared we are.”

And since Kirkland has nearly doubled in size due to last year’s annexation, Lightfeldt adds that it is the program’s goal to continue to offer classes and provide as many CERTs as possible.

Jeff Lyons, a recent CERT graduate and member of the CERT Steering Committee, felt that being able to learn from the firefighters who taught the class was a big benefit. Members of the class are shown how to properly extinguish a fire, how to safely search a disaster site, Kiwanis, which meets each Wednesday at the Crab Cracker in Kirkland at noon, is kicking off a membership drive through August. They are looking to add to their

Registration is now open for the next program that begins on Sept. 17. CONTRIBUTED how to assess injuries and to set up facilities where the injured can be treated until professional care is available.

Lyons feels that many, including himself before taking the course, simply would not know the proper actions to take if a disaster were to happen.

“I think the average untrained but well-meaning person makes a number of assumptions about what they might do in the event of an emergency,” he said. “For the most part these assumptions may be honorable, but they’re often dead wrong and could simply lead to greater loss of life and limb than is necessary. What CERT teaches you is to analyze an emergency situation in a rational way, to keep yourself and your fellow

responders safe, and to do the most good for the most people in whatever situation you’re in.”

Participants receive supplies throughout the course that will aid in the event of a disaster, and will even have the chance to put their newly acquired skills to work in a simulated volcanic eruption.

Christina Brugman strives to keep the skills taught in class as current as possible as the Kirkland CERT class coordinator. She is also an instructor. She feels the need for CERT classes because Kirkland simply doesn’t have the manpower to handle such a situation by relying on trained professionals alone.

for a city of 80,000 people. If we have a major earthquake, they will be overwhelmed,” Brugman said. “The deputy fire chief likes to use the word ‘resilient community,’ and I think that having an adequate number of trained CERTs would go a long way toward making Kirkland resilient.”

woman confirming those parts of her story. A later series of text messages confirmed Firoved’s desire to have sex with the woman’s daughter. The woman told detectives that she began to “play along” leading him to believe that she was in agreement, according to court documents.

Seattle police informed Kirkland detectives that they had investigated Firoved. In the case, the Kirkland man had answered an online ad looking for people who had an interest in exploiting minor female children. The online ad was set up by the SPD task force on child sex crimes, according to police records.

On July 3, detectives recorded a phone call between the girlfriend and Firoved discussing the possible sexual encounter. During the call, the suspect was very apprehensive about details and paranoid about the police, stated court documents.

The woman got him more comfortable by asking him about previous sexual encounters he had experienced with other minors.

During the conversation, the woman asked if he wanted her there for the encounter with her daughter. She asked Firoved, “So I would be your partner in crime?” and he replied “yes,” the documents continue. When the phone call ended the woman received a text message from the man that said, “so turned on.”

All the parks in the new neighborhoods of Kirkland, including North Juanita, Kingsgate and Finn Hill, will benefit from the proposed parks levy that may be on the November ballot. The only parks that will not benefit are Big Finn Hill and Juanita Woodlands parks, which are controlled

by King County, not as reported in the article on the ballot measures in last week’s issue.

The Reporter regrets the error and strives for accuracy in its reportage.

During a recorded phone call later that night, Firoved stated that he wanted to have sexual contact with the woman’s daughter, according to charging documents.

Detectives recorded a phone conversation between the suspect and the woman setting up the meeting at the Baymont Inn with the woman’s daughter. When Firoved arrived at the room he was met by detectives and attempted to flee. He told police he was there to break up with his girlfriend as he was arrested, according to police records.

Firoved later admitted in a written statement that all the recorded phone conversations were of him and his girlfriend but that it was all just fantasy. He told detectives that “It is made up, sick and a fantasy, but at the end of the day I never touched anyone,” police records continue. In Firoved’s 1999 conviction, he met a 14-year-old girl online and eventually had sex with the girl. He is currently being held in the King County Jail on $300,000 bail and was arraigned on Thursday, after the Reporter’s deadline.

of respondents believed the current obesity epidemic was caused by personal diet and lifestyle choices alone. Half supported the idea of charging obese patients higher health care premiums.

Views like these are also reflected in the job market, where obese candidates on average fare much poorer than their slender peers, according to a Reuters’ report. Statistically, obese workers receive lower wages, are more often passed over for promotions, and are less perceived to have leadership potential than their slimmer colleagues.

The effects of stigmatizing obesity have not yet received wide attention in our society.

Unlike discrimination based on race, gender, or religion, exhibiting bias against the overweight is not illegal and would in any case be difficult to prove. One of the reasons for this discrepancy may be cultural. Many of us like to think that hard work leads to success and that failure results from weakness. The same applies to our standards of health and beauty. We each are responsible for our own well-being, so the thinking goes, and if we don’t manage, we have only ourselves to blame. So it shouldn’t come

besity rates may be on the rise worldwide, but thinness continues to be the standard for physical beauty and attractiveness. Conversely, obesity is often linked with poor body image and low self-esteem, which only adds to the struggle with weight and weight-related health problems.

“Modern Western culture emphasizes thinness, denigrates excess weight and stigmatizes obese individuals, making it likely that obese people internalize these messages and feel badly about their physical presence that brands them,” said Dr. Kelly D. Brownell and Dr. Marlene B. Schwartz of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University in a study on obesity and body image.

Prejudices against the overweight seem to develop early. One study found that children as young as 3 believed fat people were “mean, stupid, ugly, and had few friends.” A majority of adults responded similarly, associating obesity with selfindulgence, laziness and lack of discipline. One poll conducted by Reuters found that more than 60 percent

as a surprise that obesity, especially when it’s seen as a self-inflicted disorder, is judged so harshly.

Fat people are increasingly becoming scapegoats for all sorts of cultural ills, said Dr. Linda Bacon, a nutrition researcher and author of “Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight.” “There is an atmosphere now where it’s okay to blame everything on weight.

We have this strong belief that it’s their fault, that it’s all about gluttony,” she said.

Even health care professionals are sometimes found to have prejudicial attitudes towards heavier patients, as studies have shown. In one survey, more than half of the interviewed doctors said obese people were “less likely to comply with treatment.”

Consequently, they tend to spend less time with them and, as a result of feeling embarrassed and disrespected, the patients themselves avoid seeking the care they need.

In sharp contrast to many popular views on the causes of obesity, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently published a report that identified the increasingly “obesogenic” environment we live in as the root of the crisis, rather than individual behavior. Dr. Rebecca Puhl, a psychologist at Yale’s Rudd Center, agrees with the IOM’s conclusions, but she warns that “as long as we have this belief that obese people are lazy and lacking in discipline, it will be hard to get support for policies that change the environment, which are likely to have a much larger impact than trying to change individuals.”

People suffering from emotional distress in connection with weight problems are much less likely to succeed in their efforts to improve their health. Dissatisfaction with one’s size or body type can produce great amounts of stress. The results can be eating disorders like binge eating or bulimia, social isolation, depression and other psychological dysfunctions.

Comprehensive counseling and support from family members, friends and people with similar experiences can be lifesaving. For our society in general, a shift in attitude would help as well.

Kirkland filmmaker takes on suspense genre

BY ANDREW GOSPE UW News Lab

After a late night of work in 2007, Doug Stapleton headed into the parking garage at Expedia’s Bellevue offices. Upon entering the nearly empty garage, two things struck him. The first was a sense of uneasiness — the feeling that he wasn’t alone. The second was, eventually, inspiration.

Flash forward to the present day. Stapleton quit his job at Expedia, earned a certification in film production from Bellevue College in 2008 and now works as an independent filmmaker while running his own production studio, Photo Finish Films.

And despite opening his studio just two years ago, the lifelong Kirkland resident has quickly incorporated himself into Seattle’s vibrant, tightknit film community while emphasizing the necessity of local filmmaking.

“I want to produce my films locally, hire a local crew, work with local actors,” he said. “That’s important to me.”

Stapleton, 40, completed

his first short film last year, the Mafia movie “Take 38,” and is now at work on his second, which he’s writing, directing and producing.

Entitled “Deadline,” it was inspired by that disquieting walk to his car five years ago.

(His fears, fortunately, were unfounded.)

Though his experiences sparked the concept for the movie, which centers on a woman forced to spend an unnerving late night in an abandoned office, he said his film’s general plot is universal.

“It’s really about how we as individuals manage our fear and what scares us,” he said.

“It’s not a horror blood-andguts type movie; it’s more of a suspense thriller. It’s got a Hitchcock kind of feel to it — lots of red herrings and twists and turns.”

To finance the film, which is still in its fund-raising phase, Stapleton started a campaign with Indiegogo, a funding platform. So far, he’s raised $4,700 of his $10,400 goal. He said that while finding money is always a struggle for independent filmmakers, he’s confident he’ll raise enough by the July

29 deadline. It also helps that he has the support of the local film community, whom he’s impressed with his leadership skills and business acumen, acquired through his years working in sales at Expedia.

“He hires the best people for the job, people who have the best credentials, and then gets out of the way to let you do the job for him,” said Aaron Levin, who worked as Stapleton’s casting director on “Take 38” and is a 51-year veteran of film and theater production. “Whether he’s new to the business or not, he’s someone you want to do your best job for, and there’s not many people who function like that.”

Russ Kay, an actor in “Take 38,” was similarly enthusiastic about Stapleton’s directorial skills, most notably his ability to strike a balance between taking charge of a project and letting others do their jobs. “(Some directors) don’t want to take any input — they have a vision and they want to stick to the timeline and keep it moving along,” he said. “That wasn’t the case with Doug at all. He’s very organized. You don’t find that

Kirkland filmmaker Doug Stapleton. CONTRIBUTED very often in film shoots.”

Such high praise is encouraging for Stapleton, whose late start in film doesn’t faze him.

“There’s no one way to get to become a filmmaker,” he said, “and I think that my past career in business has only benefited me, because I can take the creative side and the business side. Film is very much a business.”

It’s an approach he’ll

continue to take as he begins filming “Deadline” in late August as well as when he starts on his future projects: a series of web videos and a fulllength film, both of which will be produced in Seattle.

Don’t miss the race ... at Marina Park.

July 20, 2012 [13]

Kirkland residents Jeremy Parkhurst and Duke Fanning are leading the Eastside Cutters baseball team to a successful 21st year of quality competitive summer baseball.

Under a scorching 100-plus degree sun, team veteran infielder Parkhurst led the offense by going 3 for 3 with a walk driving in two RBI’s and scoring two runs himself to get the Cutters off to a great start in the annual July Invitation baseball tournament in Walla Walla last weekend. Fanning, who had to miss the first three games of the series, flew cross state just so he could take the hill and hurl a series of stingers against longtime rival Bothell Dyed. The 19u Eastside Cutters is one of the oldest and most successful baseball organizations for select baseball players and they have a long history of providing teenage athletes an opportunity to play competitive summer baseball.

hen Ray Keane told his two young sons they would be moving halfway around the world, their initial reaction was predictable.

Neither Killian nor Karl, now ages 13 and 11, were interested in the prospects of leaving behind their lives in Ireland for the uncertainty of the United States.

But with the help of a game that runs in their blood, the Keanes, and many other ex-patriots who have come to the Eastside, have found a new home among a familiar community.

Love and rugby Josh Young doesn’t have a long lineage of rugby, or childhood tales of his conquests as a youth player.

The former Boeing employee and teacher didn’t get into a scrum or do any rucking until he was a junior at South Kitsap High School, when he and a friend stumbled upon the local youth rugby club.

A basketball and football player throughout much of his life, Young found that rugby provided a crosssection of his favorite aspects from other team sports - the quick pace and frequent ball movement of basketball, the physical nature of football and matched it with a sense of community not common among other sports. But it wasn’t until joining the team at Washington State University that Young found a true passion for the game.

“We had a really good team, got to win quite a few games and I made a lot of

Growing the game With his collegiate career over but his interest in the game at an all-time high, Young began searching for ways to remain connected to rugby. But without a youth club in the area and no one truly invested in bringing the game to the masses on the Eastside, he found himself at a dead end.

Then he connected with Waisale Serevi.

Known around the world as “The King of Rugby 7s,” Serevi is the foremost ambassador of rugby in the United States and in 2010, selected Seattle as the base camp for Serevi Rugby. Shortly after, he tabbed Young to head the youth programming, giving him a chance to make a career in the game he can’t live without.

“It’s a joy,” Young said of working for Serevi. “To be able to live my dreams and grow the sport of rugby for a job is a great opportunity.”

Along with his work for Serevi, which includes organizing youth camps and integrating the sport in elementary school physical education programs, Young is the backbone of the Eastside Lions. Founded in 2007, the Lions are the only rugby club on the Greater Eastside and has doubled in size each year of its existence.

The club was founded by Matt Hudson, but after a year

at the helm, an opportunity to coach his alma mater at WSU was too good to pass up, leaving Young in charge.

“It’s been great meeting people from all the cities and finding out their interest in rugby,” he said. “It has been a lot of fun to have my passion as a job.”

At home on the pitch When the Eastside Lions began in 2007 as the Bellevue Tyrants, the program had fewer than 15 kids all ranging from 14-18 in age. Today, the program has grown to field sides at the U8, U12, U14, U16 and U19 levels, in addition to the Super Lions men’s team and a girls program that is still in its infancy but with a dedicated following.

Many of the Lions come from football or another sport hoping to stay in shape during the offseason, but the program has also proven popular with the large expatriot communities around the Eastside, including the Keane’s.

Ray said one of the concerns his boys voiced about the move to the U.S. was how it would impact their opportunity to continue playing a game they hope to make a career of.

“The guys have done a really good job,” Keane said of Young and others involved in growing the Lions’ base. “The key thing is kind of spreading the word.”

Young estimates 15 percent of the 150 players in the Lions’ system are ex-pats.

Most come from European nations, making rugby a fitting and reliable transi-

Killian and Karl Keane and another player look on as Eastside Lions coach Josh Young gives instruction during practice. JOSH SUMAN, Reporter Newspapers tional tool. Keane has been so impressed that he has not only kept his own children involved, but along with another ex-pat from Ireland, helped Young found the “minis” program. Designed to ensure the accessibility of the sport for the next generation of athletes, the minis program is for kids ages 5-12 and was started two years ago with only the Keanes and a few others. Keane sees it as the next step in the Lions’ evolution.

“It is great to get kids at that age,” Keane said. “I talk to Josh about setting their sights very high.”

More than one player in recent years has done that, as the Lions have players at a handful of collegiate programs around the West and even one, Aladdin Schirmer, who made the United States U20 National Team. With rugby 7s joining the Olympic fold in 2016 and collegiate scholarships available at a handful of schools, Keane and Young believe the opportunity for sustainability is there.

Young said many of those who excel at the game have a great deal of athleticism and

toughness, but may lack the refined skill set or position - specific attributes desirable for other team sports.

Regardless of where one fits on his or her other teams, there is a home for everyone on the rugby pitch.

Hobie Sisk, a 2012 Juanita graduate and football player, started playing rugby in 2009.

“My first practice, I knew it was something I was going to do for the rest of my life,” said Sisk. “I didn’t know if it would be college or just something to help in football.”

Sisk says he enjoyed the camaraderie playing rugby. “… Everyone is so nice to each other and there isn’t a bunch of trash talking. It’s like a brotherhood even with a rival team, everyone comes together after the game.”

He added that rugby also helped him on the football field.

“I was kind of the workhorse on the team, they put me wherever I could go,” said Sisk. “There was a couple times I returned kicks and rugby really helped prepare me for that because it gets you ready for any situation in any sport.”

“That was definitely when I fell in love with rugby.”

Ever since, his mission has been finding people to share in that love.

Cooper passed away April 29, 2011. And yet, her work at Houghton Beach and throughout Kirkland has inspired one last change to the park she helped champion.

On April 17, the council voted unanimously to rename the park to Doris Cooper Houghton Beach Park.

As a result of that decision, the city is replacing the existing park sign with a new one that reads “Doris Cooper Houghton Beach Park.” It is also installing an interpretive sign that describes Cooper’s contributions to the park.

“She was a friend and a mentor and I’m so happy about this,” said Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione.

partment look at the force being used by officers and makes changes as needed.

“One of the things that I want to do, other than what we’ve talked about, if elected, I want to have a use of force review board.

We don’t have that now,” he said. “I want to train our sergeants and I want to establish a use of force review board that we can look at uses of force to determine if we need to retrain a deputy or is there a way the use of force could have been avoided, including deescalation, or do we need to retrain the whole department.”

Another goal is to reestablish the domestic violence unit that was cut in 2010 because of funding.

“For years we had a unit that had specially trained detectives dedicated to the follow up investigation.

Here’s why that is so important, besides the fact it’s a horrific crime, but often times the victim recants or

the top and working its way down through the organization.”

Over the last several years, largely thanks to the recession, the King County government’s budget has been slashed, including large portions of the Sheriff’s office. Despite the cuts, Urquhart feels there are still ways to work with what is available, as well as working with other local agencies.

“The first thing is there is not enough money, especially in government,” he said. “Cities don’t have enough money and the counties have even less.

That means I have to manage the resources I do have very, very well. But I also have to be able to convince the elected leaders, the county executive and the county council, that funds are needed to maintain public safety in King County. That can be a battle. What I don’t want to do is fight with social service agencies over what money is available. I’d rather go hand in hand with them and go to the County Council and the executive and explain why we each need more money rather than fighting each other for it. They are just as important to the community and to keep the community safe as we are. We are equal partners in keeping communities safe and we shouldn’t fight over the few dollars that are there, even though that has happened in the past.”

Some of Urquhart’s top priorities if elected include creating a use of force review board, to help the de-

If you’re happy with your dentures, don’t read this!

The ClearChoice team of specialists provides 21st century solutions to people struggling with dentures or bad teeth.

WHY SUFFER WITH DENTURES? For centuries, removable false teeth, or dentures, have been used to replace missing teeth. But denture-wearers report that many undesirable side effects come along with this less-than-ideal solution: Dentures are uncomfortable to wear and often slip or click; they can cause bad breath, and require ongoing and inconvenient maintenance; they often result in a weak bite, a fakelooking smile and an overly active gagging reflex.

Care and comfort aside, those with dentures also are prevented from eating many of the foods and participating in many of the activities they enjoy.

With today’s science, there’s simply no reason for anyone to struggle with dentures. In fact, many of the problems denture wearers struggle with can be solved in just one day* with the help of your ClearChoice team of dental implant professionals.

Denture wearers tend to struggle with: • Shame or embarrassment when smiling • Feeling limited in social situations • Maintaining a fully active lifestyle • Appearing older due to bone loss • Health issues related to their teeth

THE SOLUTION IS DENTAL IMPLANTS. Dental implants provide far better results than do dentures, because implants can prevent potential bone loss. Because they’re anchored into the jawbone, the fusion of the implant and bone provides stability, just as the natural teeth did. Implants perform and are cared for just like natural teeth!

If you’re missing some or all of your teeth, dental implants can stimulate the bone, protect against atrophy and help preserve your natural facial features.

Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place, perform like your natural teeth, and can last a lifetime!

CHOOSE A BETTER LIFE TODAY. Most people who choose dental implants report the decision to be life changing. Not only do dental implants look great and boost your confidence, but they can also restore you to the active lifestyle you’ve been missing. Swim, ski, laugh and sing. Give business presentations. Eat what you like. Do it all without worrying about how your smile looks, or that your teeth will slip or fall out!

I had friends who had dentures, so knowing what they had to deal with, I just refused to go down that road.

ClearChoice was absolutely the best option for me!

— James, ClearChoice patient

WHY TRUST CLEARCHOICE? In addition to being the No. 1 provider of dental implants, ClearChoice has industryleading customer satisfaction and success rates. In fact, an independent study† of thousands of patients showed that those who chose ClearChoice would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others.
