Giving Totem Lake Malls new life Part one: My Home takes over anchor position in Totem Lake’s south mall BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

anagement at My Home Furniture and Decor is confident they can help change business at the sluggish Totem Lake Malls. So much, that they dropped $250,000 to remodel the anchor store. “We felt (store Manager) Barb (Jelly) and I could turn the mall around,” said My Home owner Merlin Smith. The furniture and home improvement store opened in the anchor store location of the Totem Lake Malls on July

10, which Smith said is ironic because it was the three-year anniversary from the business’ first launch in 2009. Its original location was behind the Fred Meyer in Totem Lake on N.E. 118th Street. “It was like moving 1,500 homes,” Smith jokes about the furniture store’s relocation. But it appears My Home’s presence has definitely drawn some attention. Smith said it has been fun seeing new customers come in for the first time. “One woman walked in, stopped and took a look

left and right and just said ‘Wow,’” Smith said. Jelly agrees. She says they’ve been getting that reaction from “everybody.” One problem they face now is getting the attention of the 22,000 clients who frequented their old location. But Jelly and Smith attribute new clients to the many TV and radio ads, along with the signs out front. Even though a good chunk of money was invested into the store’s appearance, Smith said they weren’t left without help. Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis Group, Inc.,

CBRE also provides the security service at the front entrance of the mall. “(The guards) walk around and have to send in their locations,” Jelly said as she explained that the previous security guards had a different system. Smith added that there have been no homeless people “hanging around” the mall since June. In recent history, people

First officer-involved shooting since 1970s by a Kirkland police officer BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland police officers were conducting a foot patrol in the parking lot of the Totem Lake Motel 6 late Monday night when they heard a woman screaming for help. The incident would result in the first officerinvolved shooting since the 1970s, according to a Kirkland Police Department spokesman. When contacted, at approximately 11 p.m., the woman told the officers she had been robbed and pointed out a white male adult who was running through the lot. Officers gave chase, yelling at the man to stop. The suspect got into an SUV and began to leave at a high rate of speed. Officers continued to order the man to stop, when he suddenly swerved his vehicle at an officer, driving eastbound through the parking lot. The officer, feeling threatened, drew his gun and fired at the vehicle. “(The suspect) was hit in

the left shoulder,” said Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray. This caused the driver to steer away from the officer as he continued out of the parking lot. Officers pursued the vehicle as it left the parking lot. The suspect lost control of the SUV approximately four blocks away, crashing in front of the Infiniti of Kirkland parking lot. Murray said he did not think there was any damage to cars in the lot. But a service manager at Infiniti of Kirkland said there was some property damage. Debris such as broken glass and bits of mirror were scattered around land that was damaged from the SUV. The suspect got out of the vehicle and attempted to run from officers, who eventually caught the man and took him into custody. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he is in stable condition with a bullet injury to his left shoulder.

Republic Services simplifies recycling with sorting facility BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

Recycling is a lot easier than it used to be. The painstaking process of separating out every piece of material into three or four bins that have to be lugged to the curb every

week has been largely eliminated in this area. Republic Services’ Material Recovery Facility in Seattle’s SoDo area plays a big part in this enhanced convenience. The 50,000-square foot site takes in more than 200,000 tons of recyclable materials

annually and sorts them out, category by category, to be sent off for reuse. “There are more materials that can be thrown in that single can because we’ve made the investment in the equipment and the people to effectively sort it and send it back to market,”

said Jeff Borgida, general manager at Republic Services. The company, formerly known as Waste Management, collects trash in Kirkland and surrounding communities. The Material Recovery Facility was first built in 1988. Since that time, [ more RECYCLE page 3 ]

Kiddie Academy opens in Kirkland Kiddie Academy of Kirkland opened its doors earlier this month to local families. The new Kirkland business provides education-based child care programs for infants, toddlers, pre-school and pre-Kindergarten kids. “We’re extremely excited to officially open our doors and provide high quality child care to the Kirkland community,” said Raman Thind, owner of the new business located at 12620 N.E. 85th Street. “We believe that it’s extremely important to foster bonds, not only between our educators and children, but educators and parents, and academies and the local community. We look forward to being an integral part of the local community.” In addition to serving children ages six weeks to 5 years old from 6:30 a.m to 6:30 p.m., the new Kiddie Academy offers nutritious wholesome meals and snacks, served family style; webcams through the WatchMeGrow provider, several enrichment and language immersion

programs and two age-appropriate playgrounds. Kiddie Academy, founded in 1981, began with the idea to combine learning with child care, and made a commitment to be a leader in the industry. Kiddie Academy has developed a comprehensive education-based child care philosophy, called Life Essentials®, for its academies. The Kirkland location will utilize a branded, proprietary curriculum created to promote learning through play. According to Thind, the programs emphasize continuous, open communication between teachers

and parents concerning each child’s development. “We invite families to stop by or to call to arrange a tour of our brand new facility and

see firsthand how Kiddie Academy delivers Life Essentials,” Thind said.

Workers move at high speed to remove materials such as textiles that could harm the equipment at the Material Recovery Facility. Nat levy, Bellevue Reporter

[ Recycle from page 1]

Republic has made extensive investments to add machinery that makes it easier and faster to sort the stream of materials that enter the facility every day. A 2008 investment of more than $5 million added more sorting machines, which led to simpler recycling for customers. The human element still plays a big role in the effectiveness of the facility, Republic Services Marketing Manager John Caputo said. The facility runs 24 hours a day, in three shifts, and a total of 160 employees work the area during a typical day. They are essentially

responsible for quality control. They are stationed near pieces of machinery, and at extremely high speeds remove and toss materials such as textiles - that can be damaging to the equipment. The machinery works as an intricate, and interconnected system. Materials come in, and a variety of screening methods will filter out some of the smaller pieces - cans and glass from things like paper and cardboard. Each piece goes through parts of the system to separate bailers that compact materials to be delivered for repurposing back into such items as corrugated

boxes and recycled beverage containers. While not the biggest of Republic Services MRFs that honor goes to the San Jose facility which opened last month - the Seattle facility is the most prolific. “The Pacific Northwest gets it. It’s been just a bit further along in the program and how to go about recycling,” Borgida said. No major investments in the facility are planned in the short term, officials said. But the company does want to create a customer-friendly awareness center that will allow people to see exactly how the facility works.

EDITORIAL

Balancing political editorial coverage

wo weeks ago the Kirkland Reporter ran a column from Andrew Villeneuve in the editorial slot of the opinion page. Villeneuve is a regular columnist in our other papers, such as the Redmond Reporter. He is a Redmond High School graduate, so seeing his words in his hometown newspaper takes on more meaning for those to the east. We at the Kirkland Reporter do not publish Villeneuve’s columns regularly, as his columns are usually very partisan and we do not have a conservative columnist to present the other side. We feel we have a good pulse on the Kirkland community and what our readers want. Our stance on this topic is not one that was known to the interim editor, who was in place during the first two weeks September. Both longtime editorial staff members were out of the office on maternity and paternity leave during that time. Our editorial policy to not run one political opinion without the other viewpoint on our opinion page is an unwritten rule. We strive to be balanced in our news coverage and try to make that balance bleed over to our opinion page. But that balance is not always obtainable on the opinion page. Just because we received a letter to the editor from a resident endorsing a candidate for an elected office, does not mean that we will receive one from their opponent’s supporters. Some residents were angry that the column was written about national politics. While we strive to be he hyperlocal in our news coverage, we do run letters to the editor on national topics. It is a grey area as to whether or not we will run columns on national topics such as the presidential election. The topic of the presidential race does ultimately effect those of us in Kirkland. It is different from covering other national stories, such as hurricanes in Florida or a major earthquake in California.

As a result, we will not be publishing the second part of Villeneuve’s column on the Democratic National Convention in print. If you would like to read that column, you may visit www.kirklandreporter.com and read it under the “opinion” section. Instead we prefer the words of another editor in our company, Craig Groshart of the Bellevue Reporter: Two weeks ago, the Republicans nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as their candidates for president and vice president. Last week, Democrats nominated Barack Obama and Joe Biden as their choices. This means the race for the White House – and all the other political offices – shifts into high gear. Unfortunately, it also means voters will be bombarded by attack ads and untruths. Despite what you may read and hear in the next

few months, we doubt that the people running for office are ax-murderers, child molesters or serial killers. OK, so they really won’t be accused of that, but much of what opponents say about them won’t be true, either. It’s sad that negative advertising has become such a force in our elections, but studies say voters are swayed by such tactics. As a result, almost anything goes. But that doesn’t mean you have to be taken along for the ride. Voters are served best when they seek out and understand what a candidate champions and what he or she says are his or her priorities if elected. If a candidate’s priorities align with yours, you may have someone you should support. It’s also worthwhile – but it takes some work – to see what type of experience and/or background a candidate would bring to the job if elected. While [ more EDITORIAL page 5 ]

Appalled at Reporter editorial I was appalled to read the editorial in the Sept. 7 issue of the Reporter. After suffering through two weeks of the two political convention speeches the last thing I wanted to read in the paper was a lengthy diatribe by a left wing liberal writer expressing his opinion of the speakers at the Republican convention. Then the young fellow advised at the end of the article that he is a delegate to the Democrat convention and would be writing about that convention this next Friday. Pray to God, spare me. I can write that article for him. I am sure he will have nothing but praise. I am of the opinion that the Kirkland Reporter is a nice little publication for the Kirkland community. I am also of the opinion that most readers of the Reporter are not that interested in what some young graduate of Redmond High School thinks about the GOP. There are many issues and matters concerning the community with could receive the attention of the paper rather than the prejudice opinion of a political activist of the Democrats criticizing the Republicans.

OPINION

Jared is wrong on privatization In a recent editorial in the Kirkland Reporter, Jeff Jared suggested that privatizing the Peter Kirk pool and the Lee Johnson field would be a better use of public assets by introducing a profit motive incentivized by letting these facilities operate under the management of private business owners. Mr. Jared’s assumption is that these assets could become profitable, if only they weren’t in the hands of government. Think about his argument for privatizing public assets. If operating public pools were profitable, wouldn’t we see for-profit companies operating pools? The fact is, public pools are subsidized by tax payer dollars because pool fees do not fully recover the operating costs. A decent cost recovery rate for a public pool is 60 percent, meaning that pool admission fees cover approximately 60 percent of the operating costs. Pools are extremely expensive to operate. If the Peter Kirk pool was operated as a “money maker” the current $4 admission would have to double just to break even for an operator. [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

New lessons for a new school year

Beginning of the School Year: • Hopefully you got all doctor and dentist appointments out of the way if possible. It is of course understandable when an emergency takes place, but routine exams should be scheduled out of the school day. We know when kids are absent they miss things and many times the class experience is hard to make up no matter how hard teachers try. • Thoroughly read all information that comes home and visit the school website. Store all numbers and emails in your contacts, now. As more information trickles home in backpacks, try to read and fill out forms right away. You may feel overloaded and miss out on valuable information if you wait. • Coordinate the school calendar with your own, so you are aware of important dates such as early release days, holidays, Winter and Spring Break, Conference days, etc. If you plan to take a vacation during the school year, let the teacher know once school gets going, and always follow up two to three weeks prior and even a few days before, as a reminder. • If you are interested in volunteering at your child’s school or in your child’s classroom, find out the appropriate protocol. In every school district there is usually a system in place where background checks are a part of this volunteer process and these may take time to process. Getting this done ahead of time is a good

few. Using your privatization model, we would pay to check out books at the library or have a few to enter a city park. There are some things that are done for the greater good of the community and not just to make a dollar.

McCauliffe can’t fix education Education in this State, as in so many other states across this nation, is suffering from a plethora of problems. Among them are lack of appropriate and effectively focused funding, together with the unwillingness to objectively address the many operational issues hamstringing efforts to improve the delivery of first class education to our students. As Dawn McCravey has pointed out, the present incumbent, Sena-

ther unable or unwilling to address these issues. Good intentions are not enough and it is time for a change in leadership. The status quo simply will not produce the needed improvements. Dawn McCravey is well placed to bring about the changes needed to improve our education system. Her record as an experienced school board member and involvement in all aspects of the school/ community relationship is outstanding, her dedication unquestioned. She is a clear thinker, passionate about education, well aware of what is at stake and willing to make the hard choices. She is clearly someone who can be trusted to dedicate her total effort in making the improvements in education we so desperately need.

there’s no guarantee that it makes for the best candidate, it can give a voter a feeling if the person is up to the task. How to ferret all of this out? The Reporter will help by publishing profiles about the local candidates, which include how they define the issues in the campaign and how they would deal with them. Voters can also be helped by attending candidate forums to see first-hand if they are able to give the public a clear, concise answer to a question. Finally, if birds of a feather flock together, see who is supporting the various candidates. Do these backers represent special interests? If so, are they yours, too? And finally, don’t believe everything you see in a TV political ad or what comes into your mailbox. Do your own homework – and vote what you decide.

Dear Concerned Parent, What a great question and one that many parents often wonder. As a parent with a child entering kindergarten this year I asked myself the same question. There are many things we can do as our child’s first and most important teacher to ease this back-to-school transition and set them up for school success. Below are some tips that I have recommended to parents of my students in the past and that I am already implementing in my own home with my son.

idea. Most teachers invite volunteers into the classroom at the end of September, or in early October. Although some parents may think this is a long wait, teachers need time to bond with the students, assess their academic needs and figure out where classroom volunteers are most needed. Other volunteer opportunities are usually available right away through the school Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) at each school. Joining this organization and getting involved allows you to be part of other aspects of the school including family nights, enrichment programs, art and science programs, etc. Find out more information at your individual school’s PTA website. • If you bought school supplies and had them ready to go the first day of school, good for you! This is super helpful to teachers so they can have an organized and fully stocked classroom from the beginning. Sometimes teachers need to ask for more items later on, so it is always nice for parents to understand this and also inquire about, or donate, other items the teacher might need. • Re-establish routines! If your family was like mine, and summer allowed you some days at the beach, pool, camps, and trips, it is time to get back to a routine. Leave plenty of time before school for children to get dressed, brush their teeth, and eat a healthy breakfast, so your morning isn’t rushed before each school day, or worse, your child is late to school. Being late to school is no fun for the child, the teacher, and the students whose learning is interrupted when other students enter the class after the bell has rung. • Create new boundaries around technology, especially in the morning hours before school. Many studies show that children who watch TV before school often have a harder time focusing on schoolwork. Quiet activities such as playing cards, reading, building legos, or solving puzzles/word searches, will allow an easier transition in the morning. After school, make homework a priority over screen time too.

How would you feel about paying $8 or more to use the pool? The same can be said of public sports fields. The City of Kirkland subsidizes the cost of maintenance of all the sports fields in Kirkland, not just the Lee Johnson field. Other cities do the same. If the local government didn’t subsidize sports user groups, leagues and teams, I can assure you that their costs to utilize the field, even with commercialization, would increase significantly. There are many things that the private sector does efficiently and cost effectively, but operating public assets like pools and small ball fields using a capitalize approach doesn’t work. Mr. Jarad, public libraries are subsidized, roadway maintenance is subsidized, bus service is subsidized, and park maintenance is

McBride and Walen said at the Sept. 4 council meeting that bike sharing is dispersed throughout Europe and is quite successful. “I have traveled in Europe - Paris and Barcelona - and seen the bike share program,” McBride said. “They’re convenient, they’re safe. It’s just the kind of thing Kirkland would be interested in. (There’s) no more beautiful place to bike than on Lake Washington and Cross Kirkland Corridor (once that’s finished).” Puget Sound Bike Share is currently looking for an executive director and has asked for expenses associated with the director. The City of Kirkland allotted $5,000 with the approved budget within the Public Works Department. The executive director will develop additional private funding partners. Puget Sound Bike Share hopes to have this position filled by October.

sorships, it is possible for Kirkland to start earlier. “I would love to see Kirkland be in the second phase,” McBride said. McBride said that the next steps will be to continue to have staff participate in meetings, observe how the first phase goes and then understand how those kiosks work. The Cascade Bicycle Club, King County Metro, Sound Transit, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Microsoft, REI, the Seattle

Children’s Hospital, the University of Washington, the City of Redmond and the City of Seattle are among the local agencies that have been actively involved. When the bike kiosks finally come to Kirkland, they will most likely be 1,000 to 1,300 feet apart and central to areas of high density. The council discussed Carillon Point, downtown Kirkland and city park-and-rides as areas that would most likely see a lot of traffic. “It’ll help us advance the goals of transportation in Kirkland as put forward by the Kirkland City Council,” said City of Kirkland Transportation Engineering Manager David Godfrey, who is also on the project’s board of directors. City documents indicate that the bikes are meant to be used for short trips that involve transit and in areas with “high movement.” “I think that it’s both an economic development strategy as well as good for tourism,” Walen said. Bike sharing has been a popular mode of transportation in many cities such as Denver, Washington

A Kirkland man pled guilty to attempted voyeurism in connection with an incident last fall in which hidden cameras were found in a bathroom at a sleepover involving the Juanita High School girls volleyball team. Steven C. Meeks, 24, is currently serving 90 days in King County Jail, with credit for two days served, after his 364-day sentence was suspended. Meeks began serving his time on Aug. 17. Following his release, Meeks will receive 24 months probation and is not to have contact with minors, except with permission. Meeks is also to submit to DNA testing, register as a sex offender and is prohibited from contacting any of the victims. Meeks was accused of videotaping five victims in a restroom during a non-high school sanctioned team sleepover on Nov. 5, 2011 according to court documents. Meeks’ wife, who was a coach for the Juanita High School volleyball team and a former coach of the Kamiakin Junior High volleyball team, arranged for the Rebel volleyball players to have a sleepover at her father’s Woodinville warehouse, in the 14200

block of N.E. 200th St., the documents continued. During the evening, a hidden video camera was spotted in the ceiling tile of the women’s bathroom by a 17-year-old high school student as she was using the toilet, the documents continued. Meeks confessed to placing a camera in the warehouse bathroom for his “sexual gratification,” according to court records. As part of his sentencing, Meeks also had to obtain a sexual deviancy evaluation. Dr. Paul Spizman wrote that Meeks confessed to placing a camera in a relative’s bedroom as well. “Regarding any possible sexual interest in teenagers, there is a possibility he specifically set up the camera in the current incident to record teenagers (rather than an adult female, as he reported),” the psychologist wrote in court documents. “Therefore, there is a degree of concern regarding this area of sexual interest … However, to his credit, he demonstrated a clear understanding of the harm that his actions caused.” He also said that a polygraph should be used to assure Meeks is not setting up any more cameras and his Internet use be monitored. Meeks is now awaiting a restitution hearing.

Assault: 11:49 a.m., 10202 N.E. 65th Street. A 40-year-old man was arrested for allegedly grabbing his 36-yearold wife, throwing her against the kitchen counter and kicking her in her the buttocks.

Hunger and Recovery observed in Sept. By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Mayor Joan McBride proclaimed September as Recovery month and Eastside Month of Concern for the Hungry. Both proclamations were made during the Sept. 4 city council meeting with the goal of bringing attention to two very debilitating issues. According to the 2010 National survey on Drug Use and Health, 2.6 million adults are affected by substance abuse addiction and 31.3 million adults received services for mental health problems. A Feeding America’s Hunger study in 2010 says that 37 million americans are served by the organization annually. “Kirkland is a compassionate town and we are a welcoming city,” McBride said. “We have citizens who struggle with addiction and recovery and we need to be supportive of them and the great nonprofits that help them with those issues. “Same with hunger awareness. Sometimes when you live in an affluent city, sometimes people don’t realize it could be in your own neighborhood.” Recovery month is now in its 23rd year and was requested by the King County Community Organizing

Carole Lynn Breeden of Kirkland, Washington, passed away peacefully in her sleep while vacationing in Victoria, British Columbia, on September 7, 2012. Carole was 45 years old and was preceded in death by her father, Lennus T. Breeden. Carole graduated from Juanita High School in 1985. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Washington in 1990, followed by her Master of Business Administration in Global Management in 2006. She received additional certificates as a Certified Payroll Professional by the American Payroll Institute in 2003 and as a Senior Professional in Human Resources in 2008. In 2006 Carole joined the T-Mobile family as the Director of Human Resources where she made lifetime friendships. Carole was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing with friends and teaching them the sport. She even played the prestigious Pebble Beach golf course for her 40th birthday. Carole also enjoyed wine tasting with friends, tending to her garden and hummingbirds, and spending time with her two Bernese Mountain dogs, Mulligan (3 years) and Birdie (10 months). Carole is survived by her mother, Carole Browning of Kirkland, WA; her brother and sister-in-law, Brian Breeden and Gina Koehl of Kirkland, WA; cousins, Steve and Candy Breeden, Ray and Rhonda Breeden of Spokane, WA, and many of her beloved friends. The celebration of Carole’s life will be held on September 23, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at The Golf Club at Newcastle, St Andrews Ballroom with reception following. 15500 Six Penny Lane, Newcastle,WA 98059.

Program. This year’s theme is “Join the Voices for Recovery. It’s worth it.” The mayor’s proclamation calls upon people to observe recovery this month by becoming involved with programs, activities and ceremonies to support a healthy mental health and addiction recovery. Kirkland’s concern for feeding the hungry stems from a five year collaboration with Redmond, Bellevue, Issaquah, Sammamish and Mercer Island in support of the Seattle Emergency Feeding Program. In addition to recognizing hunger this month, neighborhood associations and volunteers will collect nonperishable food donations on Sept. 15 and 29 in local stores. Seventy-four volunteers have signed up but the City hopes to have at least 120. The annual Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hungry is on Sept. 22 with the Emergency Feeding Program. “No parent should have to send a child to school hungry, no baby without the comfort of the feedings needed for mental and physical growth, no elderly person’s health should be jeopardized by lack of appropriate foods,” McBride states in her proclamation. Hopelink communications manager Glen Miller said that the mayor’s proclamation helps “drive in new donations” by creating awareness of the thousands who hunger. Donations can be made to Hopelink, Renewal Food Bank, Issaquah Food Bank, the Mercer Island Food Pantry and the ARAS Foundation throughout September.

A Regional Approach Produces Efficiencies, Competitive Edge Message from the Chair | John Marchione, Mayor, City of Redmond I’m pleased to announce that Cascade has progressed from its original status as a watershed management partnership, to a municipal corporation. This important step provides Cascade with flexibility to address future challenges as we continue to strive to provide water resources to the region for the future. the change in status was made possible through the recently adopted joint municipal utilities services authority act (JmUsa) that allows more efficient use of public dollars when municipalities and special districts combine to provide essential public services. Legislators saw the benefit and the act gained broad support. JmUsa was adopted in 2011. in July, Cascade became the first municipal corporation in the state to be formed under JmUsa. Our customers, residents and ratepayers will all benefit as a result. A Competitive Edge for Puget Sound | according to a pronouncement made earlier this summer by Cascade and all the major water providers in King, pierce and snohomish counties, the puget sound

region will have enough water for the next 50 years. Better forecasting, wise infrastructure investment by the utilities, and smart use of water by consumers and the utilities means water will be available. this is not only important for us as we turn on the tap at home but it offers the region a tremendous economic advantage as we look out to the future. Unlike in other parts of the country, we can tell business that the region will have enough water to support population and economic growth. We are well positioned here in this region when it comes to the essential necessity of water.

this summer sharing with residents how our members have combined to form Cascade to ensure they have high quality great tasting water today and tomorrow. From local fairs to farmers’ markets and other events, thousands of Cascade area residents stopped by to visit our booths, getting information about Cascade and our water saving ideas. enjoy these last days of summer and the coming of fall—and use our wonderful water wisely!

market-type conglomerate, had a large customer following in the short two months it was open in the winter of 2011. They agreed to pay $2,000 a month as long as they cleaned up the space. But when Developers Diversified Realty and Coventry upped the lease rate just three weeks after Shopsmart Bazaar opened, the business was forced to close. Shopsmart Bazaar owner Sig Rudowicz said in 2011 he and his partner put over $9,000 into fixing up the location. Little is known about any lease agreements the mall’s management had with World of Decor, a furniture auction business that occupied the location before My Home. Although Smith wouldn’t tell the Reporter how long My Home’s lease is or how much he was paying for rent, he did say that the agreement was shorter than 10 years, but he hoped to be at the Totem Lake location “long term.” Smith said when the tenants do the work themselves, such as My Home, the lease costs are better and Coventry has been issuing longer leases and recruiting a variety of businesses. A new business next to My Home opened over the summer as well. The School of Oom Yung Doe Martial Arts also put money into contracting their space because they wanted it done a specific way. But owner Mackenzie Graham said CBRE did offer to put money into the contract work and has been great in maintaining the mall area. Graham echoed Smith in speculation that lease rates are discounted right now because there is a move to revitalize the mall. The martial arts school has a three-year lease and hope they can extend it later. In early September, planning director Eric Shields mentioned the possibility of another remodel for 24 Hour Fitness in the old CompUSA location.

Waste Management donates $225,000 for new LWSD programs The Lake Washington Schools Foundation announce Sept. 5 that Waste Management awarded the Foundation $225,000 for new signature programs in the Lake Washington School District. Signature programs are a new approach to interdisciplinary learning, designed to inspire and prepare high school students for college and careers. Signature programs focus on both academic content knowledge and the interdisciplinary skills and attributes required for students to meet the district’s vision of future ready. The award will be used to fund signature STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs for high school students to debut in the 2013-14 school year. Signature programs will consist of a three-course block

of two core subjects and one elective, taught by a team of three teachers. The program’s design allows for a versatile, open-ended environment for students to engage in research and projects that focus on finding innovative solutions to complex, real world problems. These programs will also draw on help from industry experts, business and community leaders and college professors, who will work in partnership with students. “These rigorous and relevant programs of study are modeled after other successful STEM-based, interdisciplinary programs we’ve observed around the country,” said Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “They will allow students to engage in collaboration, inquiry and problem-based learning.” Together with funding from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, this award will fund STEM concentration labs for environmental engineering and sustainable design, medical bio-engineering and global engineering. Dr. Traci Pierce noted, “This award from Waste Management will help with the critical, materials, supplies and equipment for these first signature programs. We are grateful for their as-

sistance.” This is the largest single gift ever awarded to the foundation. The district has been planning these signature programs over the past few years. The three programs funded through this award will be open to 11th and 12th grade students at the STEM School and a limited number of students from other district high schools beginning in 2013-14. All four comprehensive high schools and three choice high schools are developing their own signature programs. These initial programs at the STEM school will support and help create signature programs for high schools across the district. Foundation President

Peg Hunt noted, “We are very excited about connecting businesses with the kinds of educational partnerships that will help prepare a globally competitive workforce. Waste Management recognizes the value of investing in new and innovative approaches to learning, particularly in the STEM area.”

Kirkland and Bothell firefighters responded to an apartment fire early Friday morning in the Juanita neighborhood. Firefighters received the call at 1:43 a.m. and arrived to find a deck on fire with flames crawling up the side of the building. One resident was treated on-scene for minor smoke inhalation. “The deck fire extended into the wall but the damage was confined to the outside of the building,”

said acting Kirkland Fire Department Battalion Chief Capt. Ken Henderson. “We have deemed it an accident with no malicious intent.” Henderson said that fire investigators believe it was caused by someone smoking on or near the deck as cigarette butts were found close to the area. The Kirkland Fire Department has been busy during the past few weeks. “This is fourth or fifth fire we have had during the past week,” Henderson said. “But there is nothing that ties them

Red-flag warnings are issued when conditions reach a dangerous level for wildfires during the excessive heat, dry conditions and high winds. But conditions for wildfires are the same in the city and lead to residential fires if people are not careful. “Are people not being as careful?” Henderson said. “It is kind of an unknown.

Two men, one from Kirkland, convicted of fraud By Matt Phelps mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

wo men, one from Bothell and one from Kirkland, were sentenced to federal prison Thursday in connection with a mortgage fraud scheme that defrauded banks of more than $4 million. Bothell resident Robert Strong, 48, was sentenced to four years in prison, while Kirkland resident Anthony Waldron, 49, was sentenced to threeand-a-half years in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Between 2005 and 2008, the men used

fraudulent information to obtain more than $13 million in loans on 30 different properties, primarily in South King County. When the scheme ended, with the fall of the realestate market and the homes going into foreclosure, the lenders had lost more than $2.5 million. The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation unit. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Zilly told the men that they knew what they were doing was â&#x20AC;&#x153;false and fraudulent â&#x20AC;Ś (they were) defrauding the banksâ&#x20AC;? and their â&#x20AC;&#x153;motivation was

money and profit.â&#x20AC;? According to court records, the men recruited straw buyers with good credit to â&#x20AC;&#x153;purchaseâ&#x20AC;? the houses. These straw buyers were paid as much as $18,000 for use of their identity and credit score on the loan documents. The men submitted false employment information on the straw buyers, in one case claiming a woman made $22,000 per month working for an entity they created and controlled. Using this false information, the men got banks to fund the mortgages on the houses. The men would then quickly â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellâ&#x20AC;? the

house to another straw buyer at a higher price to claim the additional mortgage funds, court records continued. The men also rented houses on â&#x20AC;&#x153;rent to ownâ&#x20AC;? plans, asking the renters to pay an option, ranging from $400-$7,000, to purchase the home at a later date at an increased price. The men also falsely claimed repairs were made to the homes and increased their value based on those repair bills. Instead, the men pocketed the money that they claimed went to home improvements, according to court records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the course of

two years Waldron and Strong repeatedly made false representations on loan applications. Moreover, Mr. Waldron took the extra step of actually verifying this false information when called by individuals seeking to confirm the soundness of the application,â&#x20AC;? wrote prosecutors, including Assistant United States Attorney Tessa Gorman, to the court in sentencing documents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, over nearly a yearlong period, Waldron and Strong created and submitted eleven fraudulent invoices so that they could obtain an additional $400,000 in loan proceeds. Waldron and Strongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions affected approximately 30 properties, each of which were sold at a decreased price or foreclosed upon, thus causing a loss to each of the lenders, and damage to the neighborhoods.â&#x20AC;? The amount of restitution the men owe is still being calculated and will be considered by Judge Zilly at a future hearing.

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.
