Two pit bulls attack, injure women near Kirkland school Dog owner claims doors locked, wide open when he returned BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
T
wo pit bulls, Yogi and Luna, somehow recently managed to get out of their home on N.E. 80th Street and bite two women near a Kirkland school.
Now, Kerri Osmulski, 49, is left with a great fear it will happen again and Yogi and Luna face being “humanely destroyed” if their owner doesn’t redeem them or abide by the Regional Animal Services of King County’s (RASKC) sanction.
“Dangerous dogs are Regional Animal Service’s top priority, to make sure they aren’t an extreme threat,” said RASKC manager and veterinarian Jene Mueller. This is not the first time one of the dogs has attacked, according to a Kirkland Police report.
Osmulski was walking home for lunch heading west on N.E. 80th Street from her job at Rose Hill Elementary when she felt a dog bite the back of her thigh just under her buttocks on Sept. 14. The attack blood soaked her jeans, according to a Kirkland Police report. “I flung around and went
into the middle of the road,” Osmulski said. “I was terrified.” She said the dogs circled around and lunged at her. She said she screamed for what seemed like “hours” before her neighbor drove up beside her and told her to get in her vehicle. “I’ve never been so scared in my life,” she said. “But
I’m just glad I was attacked and not a child.” Rose Hill Elementary is one block away from the location of the attacks. After multiple witnesses called police, officers “dry fired” Tasers to keep the dogs at bay until RASKC arrived. The police report said Yogi was unneutered [ more DOGS page 7 ]

Energy Savings with Energy
Q/A | with
Q A
How did SUNDANCE Energy get started? Back in 1981 we primarily did solar water heating and pool heating. We did that until 1985 when the federal government stopped offering a tax credit for installing solar energy systems. At that point we had to reinvent ourselves. We wanted to keep the same theme, which was saving people money and offering environmental solutions for the home. What made the most sense to our business was natural gas and it’s sustained our business since. We’ve been around for over 30 years now.
Q A
How does your company promote the use of clean energy? When we burn coal, oil, diesel, wood – all of these things are bad for air quality. They put pollution in the air and cause health problems for our families. Natural gas is a clean burning fuel source. The beauty of burning natural gas is it produces water, heat and carbon dioxide which has no particulate pollution in it. Natural gas fireplaces are the most romantic and clean way to heat your home and provide comfortable heat in a power outage. Heating our homes is an essential
What’s good for the environment is good for your wallet!
need for everyone so we really believe the most environmentally friendly way over the years has been natural gas or high efficiency heat pumps. The new product on the market is ductless heat pumps. They do use electricity but because of its efficiency, they are probably the most environmentally sound way to heat. It also makes a lot of sense financially as it is 3 times more efficient than electric heat and 5 times more efficient than oil or propane heat and half the cost of a high efficiency gas furnace. Homeowners can find substantial savings on their heating. Whenever we do something that’s really good for the environment, it tends to be really good financially as well.
Q A
Why is your business important for the Puget Sound? The largest energy cost is heating. People need reliable, comfortable heat that doesn’t cost them an arm and a leg. On a cold winter, people end up spending too much money and sometimes unfortunately, they start being uncomfortable in their homes. We want to make sure that people can afford to be comfortable and not too cold.
Q
How does the US compare to other countries in ductless heat pump installation? In 2009, Japan installed 7 million ductless heat pumps, China installed 16 million units, and Europe installed 7 million units. Comparably, the U.S. only had 300,000 new installations. We have traditionally used horribly inefficient heating systems. Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Lights and Snohomish County PUD offer their largest rebates as they recognized ductless heat pumps
A
are the best way to heat and cool your home. They are easy to install and make your home the perfect climate.
Q A
Can you tell us about some of the awards and recognition that SUNDANCE Energy has received? We are one of only a few companies that have been awarded the Puget Sound Energy’s Platinum Performance Award for Customer Service. We’ve gotten Angie’s List super Service Award for the last five years and have gotten Best of Northshore with the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter every year they held the contest. We’re one of the only Mitsubishi Top Diamond Dealers, which allows us to give people a better warranty on their products. In addition, we’re one of the original Rheem Top Contractors in the state and we’ve been featured on New Day Northwest on King 5 three times.
Q A
What are the costs for your services?
We’re very competitive. When you consider value, which is the quality of the product and service, we feel we are unmatched. In fact we’re so confident, we will match the price of any product we supply. Most of our products pay for themselves with the energy they save and start putting money into our customer’s pockets.
Q A
What areas do you serve?
We serve Snohomish and King Counties from our Bothell location and we also serve Skagit County from our Mount Vernon location.

ou’ve got two choices: put your garbage out or don’t. These were essentially the last words I told a disgruntled Waste Management customer who called me in July before I left on maternity leave. Waste Management workers had gone on strike that week and by the evening of Friday, July 27 it was still unclear whether workers would collect garbage the following week. There are some things that happen in the newsroom that we are glad to walk away from. Stinking garbage is one of them. That Friday, I was 39 weeks pregnant and had contractions all day, but they were so far apart I didn’t think anything of it. So I went home for the weekend and at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, I turned over in my sleep and my water broke. That was the start of my nine weeks away from the newsroom. While I enjoyed spending time with my newborn daughter, I missed chasing the news. The garbage strike ended and other things happened in Kirkland: a new SummerFest, the Junior Softball World Series and election coverage. And then there was the bad news: the death of Lake Washington Institute of Technology President, Dr. David WoodCarrie Rodriguez

all, a deceased man found at Juanita Bay Park, two home-invasion robberies and a tragic DUI accident. I found myself reading about these news stories as I held my newborn on my lap, propped up on a Boppy. I discovered that journalism is not just my job – it’s an integral part of my existence. Needless to say, I am thrilled to be back in the newsroom this week and ready to get out and cover Kirkland news. I’m back with an energized passion and fresh
outlook on community news. It’s that same vigor I came into the newsroom with when I took over the editor seat five years ago. And just like I did at that time, I’m coming to you – our readers – again to ask you how your community paper is doing. Do you like our coverage of city and breaking news, schools, etc.? Is there more coverage of a particular thing you would like to see? Give me a call or shoot me an email and let me know! Thanks, Kirkland, and again, it’s great to be back.

Prop. 2 adds $55 a year to property taxes, forever Proposition 2 is the Kirkland parks levy and if passed will add 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to your property taxes each year. This will increase your taxes by an average of $55 per year. Forever. The fact sheet provided by Kirkland shows a good breakdown of where the money will go and what will be accomplished with the funds in the next seven years. Personally I think the projects are well thought out and that we would all benefit from them. However, if we have a nice seven-year plan, why don’t we have a nice seven-year levy? I am concerned that once the projects are finished the entire levy amount will get rolled into general Parks Department operations leaving the original Parks Department budget to be absorbed by the city for other priorities. This is how you end up with Chihuly chandeliers in City Hall. The citizens of Kirkland should be able to look back in seven years and see if the proposed projects were completed and that our money was well spent. We should also be able to see what new projects are on the table and deter-
mine if we want to fund them. I would like to see these projects go forward, but I’m not sure I want to commit the funds forever or send this back to City Hall and force them to be more accountable.

OPINION
nity residents make a commitment of support. A couple of examples. Given current land values, can you imagine how difficult it would be today to acquire land for a series of waterfront parks? Now that took vision. Or how about converting an old golf course into a world class nature park? Juanita Bay Park took courage! These parks are the legacy left by earlier generations of the Kirkland community. We are the lucky beneficiaries. To pay for this park system, much of the funding came from previous Park Bonds and Levies. By supporting these measures, Kirkland residents made a commitment to the present and the future. Another one of these Park Levies will be on the November ballot – Prop 2. Now it’s our turn to carry forward this very important legacy. It’s our opportunity to continue the commitment of a high quality Kirkland park system for everyone to enjoy. So, please join with me and so many of our neighbors in voting YES on Prop 2. After all, our parks go a long way to making Kirkland, Kirkland. Let’s keep it that way.

Applaud youth for political involvement
I read with interest the recent letter to the editor on Sept. 21, that warrants a reply. The letter writer stated he was “appalled” by the audacity of this “young fellow” to shake him out of his comfortable slumber by expressing his political opinion. This “young fellow” should be applauded for his interest and action in the political process regardless of his opinion. It is scarce, and great to see. The youth of today are our hope for the future and should be encouraged to take part in a process that will, more than certain, affect their destiny. Maybe if the armies of today would be made up of retired men and women in their 60’s for example, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, (a Vietnam War draft dodger by the way), would have had a harder time deceiving these older folks with their fabricated self-serving reasons to start and go to an unprovoked war in Iraq. It was our youth who carried the burden of this senseless war and died in the thousands for it. That is “appalling” sir! This “young fellow” along with his many peers has the opportunity and right to decide as much as possible their destinies. I am proud, encouraged in our democracy, and applaud this young person, as well as all our youth, for their participation in our political process.

Support Prop 2 for great Kirkland parks Prop 2 will help the Green Kirkland Partnership. This volunteer program is amazingly successful and the benefits are huge to the entire community and to every one of us. Since the program started, 38 acres of natural areas are in restoration, more than 20,000 native trees and shrubs have been planted and more than 37,000 hours of volunteer work have been logged. That translates into an estimated total value of $767,000 that the city has saved! This program provides the best “bang for the buck,” and it creates healthy natural areas that provide clean air, better water quality and homes for bird and other wildlife. The city provides coordination of all the volunteer work. Private donations and grants have provided much
of the funding for the small staff and for the work done in the parks. Unfortunately, grants are drying up and it is difficult to rely on yearly private donations. With current funding, the city is struggling to just maintain the program, much less expand the program in areas where there is neighborhood interest. Park Proposition 2 on the November ballot will make the program sustainable so that it will be able to continue its crucial work in natural area parks throughout the city. The program is creating a better environment for all of us and for future generations. Please vote YES on Proposition 2 to help improve our parks!

McAuliffe wants to dig deeper into our wallets
elderly and the average consumer, then she is no longer working for us, but against us, for the benefit of a few. And that just ain’t right. It’s time for new faces in Washington state, starting right here in Legislative District 1. Her challenger for Washington State Senate, LD1 is Dawn McCravey. Dawn offers experience, reason, common sense and has the courage to solve state problems, not seek increased taxes for more studies. Sandy Guinn (R) and Mark Davies (R) are also running in Legislative District 1 to change the tide of excess spending and taxation, and the erosion of property rights. They are challenging incumbents Derek Sanford (D) and Luis Moscoso (D) for Representative positions 1 and 2, respectively. Derek and Luis have, in my opinion failed us, just as I believe Rosemary McAuliffe has done.

Disappointment that yard sign was removed Recently, a Referendum 47 yard sign in support of Marriage Equality was removed from our property. We are deeply disappointed in the lack of respect this displayed for first amendment rights and the wider political debate. My husband and I moved to Kirkland from a community where political yard signs were routinely stolen and defaced. We sincerely hope that Kirkland is a community that is more thoughtful about the the democratic process and values productive discussion over cheap shots and petty theft. It was in this spirit that we erected the sign to inspire our neighbors to think critically about the upcoming election. We will remain optimistic that the person responsible for this theft has a value system and approach to politics that is the exception and not the rule in our town.

LWSD can’t keep track of schedule This is a follow up letter to a previous letter I wrote to the editor. Lake Washington School District has been judgmental in response to my repeated requests for a school calendar and schedule that respects and supports working parents. Usually they respond that we are given our school calendar in plenty of time to prepare for early releases and random days off. Monday was our first noon release of the school year for elementary conferences. I was waiting at our school for my students’ conferences. My phone rang with a call from a parent with a child on my bus line. She had been waiting for 30 minutes for the bus to arrive. One of the LWSD bus drivers had forgotten to show up and when I peered around the corner of the building, I could see that the elementary students were standing outside with a teacher, 40 minutes after the noon release. I ask and ask for a normalized schedule, and I was the one who was left to call parents at different stops along the bus route and explain that they are waiting for their children to arrive at their bus stop after school because LWSD staff can’t keep track of their own schedule. I fully enjoyed the irony!

Vote yes for Kirkland parks As a past Chamber
president and a local real estate broker with Keller Williams, I am encouraging all of you to consider voting for Proposition 2, the levy for Kirkland parks, in November. Kirkland has always been known for the water, parks, trails and green spaces. This levy ensures that the critical funding necessary for the Cross Kirkland Corridor and the Green Kirkland program is in place. A city with great parks, trails and water provides a robust and vibrant lifestyle sought after by many. This in turn provides a fertile environment for some of our nation’s best companies that recognize how special it is. As part of this levy, the cross-corridor trail system, when developed, will provide some relief for our traffic congestion by offering alternative commuting options to many of our residents and employees. It offers the opportunity for home-to-work bike or pedestrian commutes, along with direct linkages to many of Kirkland’s schools, parks and business districts. Having a first class park system comes with responsibility. They must be main-
tained in order to provide maximum return on investment and useful for future generations. This comes at a small price tag of about $5 a month for the average homeowner. Kirkland is a vibrant, well loved, and well cared for city. Let us do our part to keep it that way.

Health care should include sterilization coverage More and more politicians are stating that they are prochoice. What choice are they talking about? Shouldn’t men be part of the equation? As far as I know, they are an essential contributor to the life of a child. Just as women have a clear choice, men do as well. Our public policy and health care reform should require coverage of male sterilization without cost-sharing. I would like to see more politicians stand up and be counted as pro-choice.

KTUB One Song, One Chance competition starts Saturday BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
T
he Ninth Step band members Jonny Koch, Zach Burrill, Ben Guyer and Michael Honn is just one band that will compete against other teens in One Song, One Chance for an opportunity to win a development package and grand prize from Guitar Center. “It’s a good opportunity to get our name out in the Kirkland community,” Koch said. The Ninth Step finished recording in July and have popular songs on Spotify. One Song, One Chance is the Kirkland Teen Union Building’s second band and artist competition that will take place over the span of two shows on Oct. 6 and 13 and one final contest Oct. 27. Twenty-two bands comprised of teenagers 13 to 19 years old will compete for one grand prize and five development packages that include studio time, the opportunity to record their first CD, time with mentors and workshops for improvement. But teen coordinator Emily Smith said, “this is more than music, it’s

BRIEFS
Kirkland students named National Merit semifinalists As announced by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), 27 Lake Washington School District (LWSD) high school seniors qualified as semifinalists in the 58th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. A total of 16,000 academically talented high school seniors nationwide have qualified. These students will have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,400 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $32 million, that will be offered next spring. Students qualified for
youth development at its finest” because band members learn music business and how to market their music in multiple ways. “The people here are awesome,” said Alex Menne, band member of As It Starts, who played last year. “There’s always something going on.” One Song, One Chance engages other YMCA teens by bringing in those who are involved with the cafe, art and technology programs KTUB provides. Teens who work in the cafe are trained to earn their food handlers permit so they can serve drinks and refreshments during KTUB events, while teens interested in technology can work on taking photos and shooting live footage of band performances. And merchandise and posters are created by teens to promote the event and spread the music. “It’s framed by staff but the kids are the vehicle for what they want to see,” Smith said. Smith said their goal to sell out every night is definitely attainable. KTUB has a capacity of 305 seats and she said they are in the process of figuring out additional
seating. Last year 175 guests attended the first show. Patrick May with Katherine’s Broadcast said the key to being successful in the competition is to accrue a lot of fans. “Sell tickets! Call everybody, call your grandma,” May said. Katherine’s Broadcast was one of six bands that made it to the final competition last year. Each band sells their own tickets at a discounted price before the show and tickets are available at the door as well. Five or six local judges base their decision from the crowds’ response, the quality of how the bands performed and the number of tickets they’ve sold if it comes down to a tie. This year five winners will get to partake in a development package that provides 35 hours of recording time or five songs, image development, a mentor, and graphics and tools to make shirts. “It’s to set them up for success,” said music coordinator Matt Bacnis. The grand prize includes strings, picks, drumsticks, a guitar tuner pedal and a $100 gift card courtesy of Guitar Center.
these awards by completing the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. Redmond High School had the highest number of recipients in the district, with 16 students named as semifinalists. Lake Washington School District National Merit Semifinalists from around Kirkland include: International Community School, Kirkland: Amanda Collyer of Woodinville, Priya Ganesan of Redmond, Yena Han , Amanda Lin of Redmond, Smrithi Sukumar of Sammamish. Juanita High School, Kirkland: Gabrielle Hsu. Lake Washington High School, Kirkland: Kather-

Lake Washington students on ACT college readiness benchmarks More Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students than ever scored high enough on each of the four ACT tests to meet the college readiness benchmark for all four subjects – English, math, reading and science. While nationally only 25 percent of students met this standard and 38 percent met it statewide, 57 percent of the students in LWSD who took the ACT qualified. That is up from 55 percent last year and continues a rising trend over the last five years, from 50 percent of students in 2008.

Peerman and Osmulski say they both have a love of dogs but these dogs were vicious. Both say they didn’t provoke the dogs at all - they were minding their own business. Chavez said when he returned home, the dogs were shaking as though they were terrified. One week before the accident, an officer met with Chavez for an unrelated incident, according to police documents, and during the encounter Chavez said: “The male pit bull had attacked a child at a park approximately one month ago.” The report continues: “(Chavez) told her that he would like to give the dog away but felt that he would have to neuter it first.” Yogi and Luna will be put down if Chavez doesn’t redeem them by the end of the week and relocate them to another county, he said. “We can’t afford to take them back (from RASKC),” he said. Chavez sold all of Luna’s recent puppies but hopes that he will be able to get one back if his dogs are put to sleep.

Jobs magazine compiled the list through research and data-driven analysis of surveys from more than 12,000 schools nationwide, along with a survey of more than 3,000 student veterans.

and Luna appeared to have just given birth. This was just moments after Suzanne Shaw Peerman, 81, was bitten on the upper leg in her driveway in the same area and treated for a similar bite. She was able to get inside her house and close the door. Osmulski and Peerman went to Evergreen Hospital’s emergency room for bite wounds. Doctors packed Osmulkski’s gash with antibiotics, wrapped it and diagnosed her with post traumatic stress disorder because she described feeling very anxious and fearful of being around the dogs again, she said. She doesn’t live far from where the incident occurred. Both women feel the dogs’ owner Louis Valente Lopez Chavez, 19, should pay for their medical bills. Animal control fined Chavez, a student with a part time job, more than $2,500. That day, Chavez and his mother left the house at around noon - just 30 minutes before the incident. Chavez said he locked the doors and shut
the blinds. “When we got home, the front door and the back slide door were completely open,” he told the Reporter. And stranger, he said, was that his mother found blood on the couch inside their living room. Chavez speculates someone could have let the dogs out. He said he’s seen immigration agents around his home, one even taking photos of his fence, and has had officials pull him over while he was driving his dad’s vehicle. He believes they are looking for his father, who has been away for some time. A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the agency would not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation in the Kirkland area. Chavez has had the dogs since they were puppies. “They’re good dogs,” he said. “They’re loyal and they protect my little sister. They like to be loved just like any other dog. But when I (take them on a walk) people look at me like I have a gun in my pocket.”

Let’s consider some of the reasons why you should volunteer as a team, where multiple people from a single organization volunteer to serve needy organizations who in turn are serving the needs of our communities. Focusing upon the served organization, teams can do the following: • Bring a group used to working together to focus upon a single project. • Due to the collective synergy already existent in the group, providing leadership in separate tasks within the project. • Concentrate an enormous amount of leverage (numbers, bodies) over a short period while getting a great deal done. • Demonstrate to other organizations that they can volunteer as a team as well in future projects.
Volunteer
B
usinesses are often known for contributing to their communities and neighborhoods. More often than not this takes the form of financial contributions, sponsorships, donations of equipment etc. Consider volunteering your time and the time of your colleagues in serving some of the community needs in a “hands on” fashion. Giving money and “stuff ” is important and needy organizations and services depend greatly upon the kind donations given by businesses. But it is the “hands on” where businesses and organizations show their true colors. Volunteering as a company in a “one-off ” effort (specific task or service project rather than a weekly commitment) takes some forward planning including scheduling the amount of time to be given, who will be involved, what organization will you provide volunteer services to and – not the least – what message are you giving regarding your “hands on donation?” Needy organizations are conscious of the pre-planning required for these efforts and the work it takes for an organization to provide a “team” of people to help.
that each one makes. • A chance to establish the business / organization as a community citizen that actively participates in serving the need of the community, and • Providing a legacy of service, of public involvement so necessary to the positive reputation of a community involved business or organization.

Benzaoui is focused on sustainability with leadership team SAMANTHA PAK Reporter Newspapers
S
ustainability is a word that has been used with increasing frequency in the last few years, and one Redmond teen is learning firsthand what exactly the word means as a member of the Watershed Report Student Leadership Team. Josef Benzaoui, a junior at the International Community School in Kirkland, joined the team about a year and a half ago after learning about it at a Redmond Youth Partnership Advisory Committee (RYPAC) meeting. Peter Donaldson, executive producer and leadership coach for the Watershed Report, came in as a guest speaker and shared with the teens an overview of what they do. Benzaoui said he became interested because the project would give him an opportunity to draw on technical skills he gained while creating a documentary video for the National History Day competition. He would also have the chance to learn more about how he could help the environment. “(The Watershed Report) seemed like an interesting combination,” the 16-year-old said.

sites such as the Bullitt Center in Seattle, the greenest commercial building in the world, and the zHome in Issaquah, which uses a net energy of zero at the end of the year. “That was one of the big things that was an eye opener for me,” Benzaoui said.
The program is one of four with Friends of the Cedar River Watershed, a nonprofit whose mission is to engage people to enhance and sustain watersheds through restoration, education and stewardship. The Watershed Report is a series of short videos produced by high-school students that track positive sustainability trends in the 13 school districts and 28 cities of the greater Lake Washington Watershed. This is the land area in which rainwater drains to Lake Washington and out through the Hiram Chittenden Locks in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. The students cover all aspects of sustainability ranging from green infrastructure to transportation to waste management. “Every habit we have, especially with storm water…has a huge impact,” Donaldson said. Benzaoui said one interesting thing he has learned from his time on the team has been how much green and sustainable work is being done in King County and the greater Seattle area. He said they have learned about and visited various
A STUDENT-RUN PRODUCTION
This is the Watershed Report’s third year and they currently have 16 student members representing seven school districts — Lake Washington, Bellevue, Issaquah, Northshore, Seattle, Shoreline and Tahoma — Donaldson said. New videos are produced each year with the most up-todate information collected by the students, who do the research work, as well as the video work. This process students go through is called Watershed College and they receive more than 100 hours of training in systems thinking, project management, policy analysis, public speaking and broadcast journalism, Donaldson said. He added that the program has now partnered with Bellevue College and students can now earn college credit through Running Start.
International Community School junior Josef Benzaoui speaks at the recent third annual Watershed Report event at REI in Seattle. COURTESY PHOTO The new videos recently premiered at a special screening event at the REI store in downtown Seattle. The annual event is student produced and members from the Watershed Report team present their findings and share their personal experiences to a crowd of 150-200. Donaldson said people who attend include local decision makers such as city council members, school board members, King County officials, local chambers of commerce, rotary clubs and other civic organizations.

Benzaoui said he thinks it is very important for young people to learn about sustainability early — especially as he predicts a lot of sustainability-related jobs will be created in the next 10-15 years. Benzaoui isn’t sure if he will pursue a career in the field, but said he is considering studying business in college. He said will probably combine the green business mentality he has learned from his Watershed Report experience with whatever he pursues in the future. “In the long term, it’ll save you money,” he said.

Komen three day helps those who feel hopeless BY NAT LEVY Reporter Newspapers
D
an Kinley felt helpless. He watched as his mother suffered through breast cancer for more than five years. The disease eventually took her life, and her son had no idea how he could contribute. So he walked. And he kept walking. Kinley has been participating in the Susan G. Komen
3 Day walk ever since. The walk is another spoke of Komen’s wheel to fight and eradicate breast cancer. Kinley knows the pain the disease can inflict on families, so he continues to pitch in. “It is something I do to keep up the fight,” he said. The three-day walk happens in cities all around the country, and the Seattle area was the focus this weekend. Walkers began the journey at CenturyLink Field in Se-
attle Friday, Sept. 14, before making the trek across the Interstate 90 bridge over to the Eastside. Throughout the weekend, walkers will hike through Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland. Walkers go 20 miles each day before retiring to a camp put together by Komen with tents, a dining hall and other amenities. Each walker is required to raise $2,300 to walk. For many of the walkers, the disease has touched their family. Others, like Brian McSweeney, a firefighter from Joint Base Lewis McChord, saw the tragedy unfold amongst friends.

Seated next to her at the table was her neighbor, Molly, who was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after a normal mammogram. “You think you get a mammogram and you’re good to go,” Molly said. Not so.
Others at the table told of the aftermath of some treatments that caused lymphedema, swelling of the lymph glands that can be painful and delay further treatment or reconstruction.

As a breast cancer survivor myself, I welcomed the chance to share stories with those who knew exactly what I had gone through. At the table, we talked and laughed like we were old friends — already members of the sisterhood. Brigitte, from Everett, was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer nine years ago. She was told she had six months to live. “I never once thought cancer,” she said. She got a second opinion, different treatment, and she’s still here today, although she is living with advanced bone cancer now. She looks good. The loving support of her husband has sustained her, she said.
Shaw acknowledged that this has been a difficult year for the Komen organization. But she reminded the women that Komen is the largest private funder of mammograms in the state. Next, Oosterdam Captain, Arjen Van der Loo himself, welcomed the crowd. Guests of his ship have raised $3 million for Komen over the past five years by doing a 5K walk around the deck, he said. With that, a Vegas-worthy show began, filled with song, dance and fabulous costumes by entertainers who performed on their day off. We disembarked into the sunshine, feeling stronger, lighter.

As the walkers trudged around the Eastside this weekend, they were met by supporters along the way. Many of them also had an experience with the disease, while others were just there to support friends. Of all those in attendance, Ashlee McKenney and Kim Faretra may have stood out the most. They spent the day Saturday driving to the two rest stops along the way, and then, clad in giant chicken costumes, they danced to Salt ‘n’ Pepa’s Push It on repeat. It was by no means their first round with the suits, having used them several times for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. It gave the walkers a good laugh, and many stopped

tational, which can aggravate the situation. For example, discuss a made-up scenario or one from your childhood, and talk through ways that your child could respond. Check in regularly to ascertain if your child continues to be bullied. You may need to get involved and talk to school personnel. Unless you have an existing relationship with a family, it’s best to avoid confronting a child bully or the parents of a bully. This can backfire and result in more aggressive behavior. If your child is having a difficult time overcoming the harm inflicted by a bully, it may be a good idea to seek counseling to avoid longterm issues.

Bullying occurs at almost any age, but it’s most prevalent in middle school. As a parent, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of a child being bullied. These may include emotional signals such as withdrawal, a drop in grades or loss of friends; and visible effects such as torn clothing, bruises or other signs of fighting. Another indication of bullying is when your child becomes upset about going to school,

way of dealing with people, which is actually good for their development. Here are some tips to help navigate the waters of different parenting styles: • Honor the other person’s parenting style and don’t undermine it. • When you disagree over decisions that grow out of parenting styles, try to be flexible and meet in the middle. Don’t force the children to decide whose rule to follow or be punished — the caregivers must make these compromises first. • Decide on the bigger goal or picture for your caregiving team, and try picking duties based on your strengths. For example, your partner might enjoy taking the kids out to play soccer on the weekend, and you might do better at running the bedtime routine. Regardless of parenting styles and how caregivers decide to divvy up the duties, remember that

ing — Rules exist, but in a more democratic environment. Caregivers are responsive and willing to listen to questions. Experts agree that this model is most effective in terms of promoting development in children and encouraging cooperation. • Permissive parenting — These caregivers are responsive but lenient, making few demands of their children and rarely disciplining them. • Uninvolved parenting — These caregivers make few demands and show little responsiveness or communication. What if the other caregiver is more permissive and you prefer to lay down the rules? The reality is that there’s nothing wrong with different approaches — in fact, your children learn to adapt to more than one

n this article, we use the terms “parent” and “caregiver” somewhat interchangeably, since many families also include single parents, step-parents, grandparents, friends and daycare as part of their childcare network. Many parents and caregivers of small children are just happy to make it to the end of the day, after all the decisions, occasional tantrums, happy victories and skinned knees have gone by in a blur. The entire day can pass, seemingly without rhyme, reason or order. It could be surprising to know that researchers say most parenting activities fall into just a handful of recognizable categories, and that based on these factors, people generally display one of four parenting styles. So is it a sure recipe for disaster when two parents or caregivers have different styles? In a word, no. But more on that later. First, let’s take a quick look at basic parenting activities, and what parenting styles evolve from them. Most parenting usually revolves around disciplinary strategies, warmth and nurturing, communication styles, and expectations of maturity and control. Resulting parenting styles include: • Authoritarian parenting — Children are expected to follow strict rules or be punished. • Authoritative parent-

When My Home Furniture and Decor relocated to the malls in July, Jamieson Furniture Gallery, which paid for and shared showroom space with My Home, stayed in the old Costco building location. “One of the many reasons that I chose not to continue in business with My Home Furniture and Decor and move along with them to Totem Lake (Malls) was because I was advised by the property manager at Totem Lake Malls that the building was outdated and they planned to tear the mall down in 24 months and rebuild a more modern structure,” Jamieson Furniture co-owner Rich Jamieson said.
umbrella. “Business in Bellevue is good,” he said. “We’re selling close to triple than what we were doing before.” Jamieson opened his new location on Sept. 1 in Bellevue off of Main Street and will be liquidating his pieces at the original spot with special sales going on now and through the holidays. Relocating to the Totem Lake Malls wasn’t enough for Jamieson Furniture Gallery, along with two new Kirkland businesses - Be One Yoga Studio and Five Guys Burgers and Fries. However, those new businesses have managed to find one sweet spot in the Totem Lake Business District.
Be One Yoga Studio opens When Be One Yoga Studio co-owners Casey Stewart, Elena Radic and Kami Betker went into the Totem Lake Malls to check the space out they all perceived it as “completely dead.” But they wanted to keep
their business in Kirkland. They chose their current location at 11220 N.E. 124th Street near QFC because of its visibility, ability to stand alone and its natural light. “We all love Kirkland,” said Stewart. “We have good relationships and are well received in the community.” The women have been in a two-year process to figure out the logistics and location of their business, Be One Yoga Studio. The studio is set to open Nov. 5. “We want to offer something better, more complete. Our experiences have shown us the downfalls (of hot yoga studios),” Stewart said. Be One will specialize in hot yoga and children’s yoga for two years and up. Massage therapy will also be provided by Betker and her husband who are both massage therapists. The trio hope to fill their studio with 10 to 12 yoga instructors and have a goal of 500 new students in their first month. The yoga studio will share
a building with Five Guys Burgers and Fries. They say they have taken precautions for containing the smell of the food but are happy the fast food chain will be joining them. “We’re hoping it works to our advantage, where people go to eat and then come into our studio,” laughs Betker.
Five Guys Burgers and Fries Kirkland resident and Five Guys owner Joe Iraqi agrees. “(Having a yoga studio next door) is a good combinatio n. We joke and say ‘people can eat the calories and then lose them,” said Iraqi, noting the restaurant is set to open this January. Iraqi said he chose the location because of its proximity to the freeway and its high visibility. The malls in Totem Lake were not an option, he says, because “there’s not much business
there. Everybody was talking about redevelopment.” Despite the rumors, the malls’ redevelopment is complicated because co-owners Coventry Real Estate Advisors and Developers Diversified Realty have been involved in an ongoing lawsuit. Iraqi will put up nine Five Guys Burgers and Fries from SR 520 to the north border of King County. Five Guys Burgers and Fries has been ZAGAT survey rated every year since 2001 and has been voted the Washingtonian Magazine’s “Readers’ Choice” number one burger every year since 1999. Iraqi says he plans to hire 40 to 45 employees and is in the process of hiring management right now. “We’re different than other burger places because we don’t freeze, we make patties fresh, we hand cut potatoes, make our veggies fresh and go above and beyond (in the treatment of) our customers,” Iraqi said.

Jamieson Furniture closes
Malls’ co-owner Coventry Real Estate Advisors did not return a call from the Reporter regarding a potential redevelopment date. Kirkland City officials said during a recent Totem Lake Conversations event that the current leases for businesses at the malls are “less than 10 years.” Jamieson plans to stay in the building until the end of December until the city begins work on a new public safety building. Jamieson Furniture Gallery is very competitive, he said, because half of their work is custom design. His handcrafted wood furniture is uniquely created by wood imported from Indonesia and designed by Jamieson. The furniture crafter says he became a designer after he built kilms for a consultant in Indonesia. He says he didn’t care for their designs so he created his own and pitched his ideas. Six years later the firm is still using his ideas. Jamieson has been a Kirkland resident for almost a decade and says his work has flourished after being away from My Home’s

vergreenHealth and Valley General Hospital have announced the intent to form a new affiliation that will give Snohomish County residents more choices and access to the integrated, highquality services offered by EvergreenHealth and its partners Virginia Mason Medical Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Valley General Hospital’s Board of Commissioners voted unanimously last week to approve a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to enter into an agreement that would make Valley General Hospital an affiliate of EvergreenHealth. The EvergreenHealth Board of Commissioners is expected to review and approve the LOI in its board meeting scheduled for Oct. 2 (after Reporter deadline). Under the terms of the LOI, both organizations will remain independent and separately governed, licensed and accredited. The organizations expect to complete due diligence and finalize the affiliation agreement by the end of the year. Neither organization foresees any reduction in staff as a result.

Eating together as a family has multiple benefits
I
s the traditional family dinner a thing of the past? Is it overvalued as an institution that was once a cornerstone of the American home but has become obsolete with changing times? In today’s households where both parents go to work and kids have busy schedules with school, homework and an array of afternoon activities, finding time for a gathering at the table seems all but impossible. Yet, studies have shown time and again that eating together has multiple benefits for everyone involved, but especially for children, and not only for nutritional purposes but in many other aspects as well. According to a number of study reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA), children who eat at least five times a week with their family are at lower risk of developing poor eating

habits, weight problems or alcohol and substance dependencies, and tend to perform better academically than their peers who frequently eat alone or away from home. To be sure, the iconic family meal, as for example depicted by the painter Norman Rockwell, came only into American life in the mid-20th century. In the 6os and 70s, profound social, economic and technological changes quickly dissolved that short-lived idyll. Restaurant visits, takeout and TV dinners have since become the norm rather than the exception. There are indications, however, that the old customs are coming back, at least in parts. According to the latest CASA reports, 59 percent of surveyed families said they ate dinner together at least five times a week, a significant increase from 47 percent in 1998. Whatever drives this
trend, it is a development that should be welcomed. Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. It is about civilizing children, about teaching them how to become members of their society and culture, says Robin Fox, a professor who teaches anthropology at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Food has become such a ubiquitous commodity, so easily and cheaply available, we no longer appreciate its significance, he says. We have to rediscover its importance and its value. Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, he says, that can almost take on the form of a ritual or a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors for whom finding food was a constant struggle. Besides appreciation for the value of food and the work that goes into preparing it, there are also many social elements that come into play when families share meals, says Miriam Weinstein,
author of “The Surprising Power of Family Meals.” The dinner table can be the perfect environment where kids learn how to conduct conversations, observe good manners, serve others, listen, solve conflicts and compromise. Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family will save children from developing unhealthy lifestyles or making regrettable choices down the road. It may not make them more virtuous or socially more responsible. But it can lay the groundwork for a lot of things that point them in the right direction.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice! ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses. Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile. They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Actual ClearChoice Patient
TEAM OF SPECIALISTS The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their field. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualified specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab. Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now! SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.
“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.” - Kurt C., real ClearChoice patient
Tooth loss is not your fault. Doing nothing about it is. Come see how easy it is to live the comfortable life you deserve ...
