Woman taps into passion for horses to help patients

New business, Unbridled Counseling, opens in Bridle Trails neighborhood BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@kirklandreporter.com

Kirklanders take the plunge

Above, Approximately 100 people plunged into the chilly Lake Washington at Marina Park on New Year’s Day, while hundreds of spectators looked on, during the 11th annual unofficial Polar Bear Plunge. Some City of Kirkland dignitaries were also daring enough to take the plunge, including Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and Councilman Bob Sternoff. Right, Kirkland resident Rob Butcher garnered many chuckles as he went all out this year and dressed as a drag queen. Many others also wore silly hats and costumes to ring in the New Year during the event. PHOTOS BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter

orses have surrounded Kelsey Devoille since she was a girl. She grew up in Duvall, where as a girl she rode horses and competed in three-day eventing, known as the horse triathlon. By the time she was in middle school, she taught other kids horseback riding. Devoille opened Next Phase Eventing, her Redmond-based business that specializes in training riders, while attending the University of Washington where she earned an undergraduate degree in Finance and Psychology. But through her work as a trainer and coach, she realized she wanted to do something more with her passions for horses and people. “Through that process I recognized the impact that

horses have on people, not just riding for competition, but also on their emotional well-being,” said Devoille. “I got to experience situations where my students were going through a very tough life event and I got to see how the horses helped them through that.” So she went to graduate school at Seattle Pacific, pursued her psychology degree and learned about the art of equine-assisted psychotherapy. The Kirkland resident opened Unbridled Counseling in the Bridle Trails neighborhood in June. Her practice offers traditional and equine-assisted therapy to youth and adults struggling with eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression and family issues.

90-pound elderly woman fought back during attack; suspect charged BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@kirklandreporter.com

A 26-year-old man accused of violently attacking and raping an 80-year-old Kirkland woman on Oct. 25 was charged with first-degree rape and first-degree burglary on Thursday in King County Superior Court. Redmond police on Wednesday arrested Moses Kelly, who detectives believe is transient and his residence is currently unknown. They located Kelly near a gas station in Redmond and took him into custody on Kirkland’s felony warrant. The warrant was obtained when DNA evidence gathered from the October assault came

back as a match to Kelly. Kelly’s bail was set at $1 million due to the “extraordinarily violent” manner in which he allegedly raped the woman, said Lisa Johnson, senior deputy prosecuting attorney, in charging documents filed on Thursday. According to the police report, the 90-pound woman who is small in stature returned home on a Metro bus from a visit to Seattle on Oct. 25. When she got home, she went to close her front doors and saw the suspect swiftly walking towards her and assumed he might be a salesmen. However, Kelly allegedly forced open her doors

before she could lock them, “grabbed her by the throat/ mouth area, choking her as he did so and forced her backwards into her residence,” according to the police report. In her bail request, Johnson said during the sexual assault the defendant allegedly “wrapped his hands around the frail and elderly victim’s throat, choked her with his hands and threatened to kill her if she didn’t keep quiet.” However, despite the woman’s age, she fought back, bit the man’s hand and the defendant responded by biting her, said Johnson. “Close to losing consciousness and unable to breathe,

there were moments that (the victim) was convinced she was going to die,” the prosecutor continued. The suspect conversed with the victim during the assault and he told her he is currently homeless and had recently broken up with his girlfriend, according to charging documents. When she asked him why he was raping her, he said, “I need sex,” the documents continue. After the sexual assault, the suspect left and the woman called her husband who took her to the Group Health Urgent Care Center in Bellevue. She was later transported and treated at Harborview Medical Center.

A Washington State Patrol Crime Lab forensic scientist matched DNA from the assault to Kelly’s DNA typing profile. His photo ID was also a very close match to a composite sketch that a Kirkland police contract sketch artist prepared in November. Police also reviewed Kelly’s recent case reports that showed he is frequently listed as transient/ homeless, which was consistent with statements the suspect made to the victim while he was raping her, according to charging documents. Kelly has no felony convictions, but his criminal history consists of two convictions for criminal trespass in 2008 and 2011 and additional

MOSES KELLY

convictions for malicious mischief and fourth-degree assault. He is being held in King County Jail and his arraignment is set for Jan. 3.

[2] January 4, 2013 “Equine therapy can be a really unique and nonthreatening way to approach challenges in life,” said Devoille, who still competes and has her A rating in the United States Pony Club – the highest rating a rider can achieve in the sport. “Counseling doesn’t always have to be so serious or intimidating. This can really just be a different way for people to be able to look at their own growth and challenge themselves.” At Unbridled Counseling, clients can either opt for traditional talk therapy, or equine therapy. If they choose the latter, Devoille will introduce them to the three therapy horses she uses: 8-year-old Poppy, an Irish Sport, Arabian mix; 12-year-old Dublin, an Irish Sport horse; and 26-year-old Ria, a Morgan horse. She said her patients interact with the horses and can choose which horse to stay with during subsequent visits. So why horses? Part of it, Devoille says, is because of their size. “They are huge, 1,000-plus pound animals, so they are

naturally intimidating,” she said, noting the horses’ size helps some of her clients with power and control issues. She said one of her clients had a difficult time standing up for herself with her family. When she interacted with the horse, “she really struggled pushing the horse away from her or sticking up for her space and so the entire first session, the client was unable to back the horse up,” noted Devoille. “I think the horse really recognized her hesitancy and pushed back a little bit.” However, the client was eventually able to control the horse and weave it through an obstacle course. “It was amazing how the horse picked up on her need to be assertive that day and really rewarded her for that,” said Devoille. “Then the client was able to imagine how she could do that with other people in her life.” Horses are also intuitive and can pick up on certain cues that she may miss, she said. “When a client is anxious, horses act anxious,” she said. “It’s a great way for clients to see how their anxiety or fear

is affecting the horse.” Devoille specializes in working with people with eating disorders and says that equine therapy is also a great way to work on topics like assertiveness or control that sometimes arise in recovering from an eating disorder. Horses are particularly powerful working with adolescents, she said. Some adolescents are reluctant to walk into her office and talk about their feelings, so the horse acts as a “great mediator” in that situation, she said. For people with an autism spectrum disorder, “horses can be really powerful working through relational or social skills, which people on the spectrum sometimes struggle with.” She noted that research shows how horses and people with autism spectrum disorders see the world similarly, in pictures rather than in coherent stories. “So oftentimes horses and people with autism connect in ways that are almost indescribable,” said Devoille. Horses have played a big part in her life as well. Horses have helped her to focus in the “present moment and

Devoille says equine-assisted therapy is useful in helping people struggling with issues such as eating disorders and autism spectrum disorders. CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter alleviate stress. My relationship with my horse also built self-confidence during a time I was struggling to find my identity,” she said. “They are incredibly intuitive animals, so I feel like they really pick up on people’s emotional state … They’ve always been a huge support to me, not only through my business, but on a personal level.” So far, Devoille says business is going great. About half of her clients use traditional

therapy, while the other half use equine therapy. Some inpatient treatment centers have also brought therapy groups to her business to engage in therapy with the horses. The most challenging part about getting her business started was the financial risk, including the high cost of insurance for using horses. But it’s all been worth it, she says. “I always knew how horses

have affected me, but seeing the changes that have happened in my clients’ lives and the realizations and growth that has come from it is really exciting,” she said. “So it gives me hope that I’ll continue to be able to do work that I’m passionate about.”

EDITORIAL

Survey results for free speech and politics

irkland Reporter contributor, Bill LaMarche, wrote the article “Money – free speech and politics” regarding the concept of “corporations are not people and money is not an expression of free speech,” on Nov. 12. According to LaMarche, more than 80 percent of Americans want limits to the amount of money that individuals, corporations and membership organizations can give to political campaigns, and more than two-thirds want to do away with Super PACs altogether. With his article, he included a survey in which 54 people participated in. The following statistics were collected from Nov. 12 to Dec. 17 and are intended to represent the feelings of the 54 surveyed. Survey results: • 92 percent of the respondents felt there should be a limit on the amount of money that could be donated to campaigns or candidates in local, state and federal elections. • 94 percent of the respondents felt that out-ofstate money influenced the 2012 elections. • 92 percent of the respondents thought that unlimited corporate and PAC/Super PAC contributions to political campaigns unfairly overwhelm contributions from the general populace. • 96 percent felt that citizens and voters should

know who is giving money to campaigns. • 77 percent felt that the Seattle Times contribution and involvement in the Rob McKenna campaign for Governor should not have been allowed. • 77 percent felt that Costco’s massive contribution to the campaign to privatize liquor sales should have been limited. • 92 percent of those responding favored a res-

olution stating that corporations are not people and money is not an expression of free speech. LaMarche says a request is in front of the Kirkland City Council to pass a resolution stating that “corporations are not people and money is not an expression of free speech.” To take the survey and read LaMarche’s original article, visit www.kirklandreporter.com/ opinion/179008311.html

Thank you, mystery lady at Taco Time I was in the drive-through lane of the Totem Lake Taco Time the evening of Dec. 21, and when I handed money to the young man at the window to pay for my meal he said that the lady in the car ahead had already paid for it and had asked him to wish me, “Merry Christmas!” What a sweet thing to do – and I am going to pay it forward. It gave me a lovely warm feeling – thank you, mystery lady!

Letter is ignorant of gay people I was stunned by the ignorance of Edward Bell’s letter “Gay people who want to adopt should prove they don’t have AIDS.” I am not gay, HIV positive, or adopting children but could not let such a silly letter go unanswered. Mr. Bell’s assertions fly in the face of a wide body of knowledge regarding the transmission mechanisms for HIV. According to the CDC: “HIV is most commonly transmitted through specific sexual behaviors (anal or vaginal sex) or sharing needles with an infected person. It is less common for HIV to be transmitted through oral sex or for an HIV-infected woman to pass the virus to her baby before or during childbirth or after birth through

breastfeeding or by pre-chewing food for her infant. In the United States, it is also possible to acquire HIV through exposure to infected blood, transfusions of infected blood, blood products, or organ transplantation, though this risk is extremely remote due to rigorous testing of the U.S. blood supply and donated organs. “Some health care workers have become infected after being stuck with needles containing HIV-infected blood or, less frequently, when infected blood comes in contact with a worker’s open cut or is splashed into a worker’s eyes or inside their nose. There has been only one instance of patients being infected by an HIVinfected dentist.” As far as I can tell, the implication of Mr. Bell’s letter seems to be that gay adoptive parents will either be having risky sexual behavior with their adoptive children, pumping them full of heroin with dirty needles, or performing organ transplants on them. I doubt that anyone willing to endure the adoption process would be doing these things and would be more than well informed about any risks from breastfeeding and/or pre-chewing of food. Mr. Bell states that “there are millions of homosexuals in the United States with HIV/AIDS, but screening for the disease is not widely done or routine.” Once again, according to the CDC, “At the end of 2009, an estimated 1,148,200 persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV in-

fection in the United States, including 207,600 (18.1 percent) persons whose infections had not been diagnosed.” Not quite the plague of “millions of homosexuals” Mr. Bell estimates are lurking everywhere. Mr. Bell should be ashamed of his lack of knowledge and his apparent projection of gay people as pederast organ transplanting junkies.

Jason Shaw, Kirkland

Adoption process should treat everyone equally There are a few points I wanted to share regarding Mr. Bell’s suggestion in the Reporter that gay people should “prove” they do not have AIDS to adopt: 1. There are federal laws barring discrimination against those that are HIV positive. 2. There are health care confidentiality regulations, such as HIPAA, that would make forced disclosure problematic. 3. Having AIDS is not limited to the gay/lesbian community. 4. Most Americans who are HIV positive today live a normal life, including raising a family and having children after diagnoses. 5. Just because someone is HIV positive does not mean others living in the same household will get AIDS. 6. Being a good parent and creating a good family can happen in spite of a particular medical condi-

tion. The primary reason that gays and lesbians were granted the right to marry was for equality under our law. Many were already parents, either having them on their own (there are many ways for this to occur) or through adoption. No doubt, there is and should be a long and somewhat arduous process in selecting a perfect home for a child. However, that process needs to be fair and treat every individual equally. It could well be that the perfect home for a Sally or John is with a new parent who is HIV positive and there is no reason that this medical condition alone should eliminate them from consideration in starting a new family.

Johnmichael Monteith, Kirkland

Don’t disseminate gay bashing hate mail The degree of ignorance Edward Bell displays in his letter to the editor (Gay people who want to adopt should prove they don’t have aids, Dec. 28) regarding the means by which HIV is transmitted is exceeded only by the poor journalistic judgment shown by the Kirkland Reporter for printing the letter. As long as you are going to litter our driveways once a week, please do so without disseminating gay bashing hate mail cloaked as concern for children.

Kirkland author’s new book to launch on 25th anniversary of Pete Maravich’s death BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Norm Vener has been collecting Pete Maravich memorabilia for 15 years. His dog’s name was Pistol Pete and he’s written a children’s book titled “Floppy socks and Moppy Hair: The Legend of Pistol Pete Maravich.” Vener agrees Peter Press Maravich was more than a mentor - a hero - as he grew up playing sports, which is why Vener compiled 300 photos of Maravich’s basketball career and created “Pistol Pete in Pictures - A Pete Maravich Pictorial.” “I think anybody who is a sports/basketball fan will appreciate it,” Vener said. “It brings you back to a time pre-steroids where people more or less played for the love of the game.” Maravich was an NBA basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Jazz in the 1970s. But Vener’s book is special in more ways than one. Although people can pre-order the 150 page coffee-table read, its release date is Jan. 5, which is the 25th anniversary of Pete Maravich’s death. And when people open the first few pages they will notice the book has been dedicated to Vener’s father and his dog, who both recently passed away.

BRIEFS Tree-cycle services for Kirkland residents

Waste Management will be collecting holiday trees free of charge in January. Trees must be no more than six feet in length; larger trees should be cut in half to meet the length requirement. Trees must be un-flocked and undecorated. • For single family residents: Place the tree on the curb on regularly scheduled service day. Tree collection service will be through Jan. 18. • For apartment and condo residents: Christmas trees will be collected through Jan. 17. Trees should be placed next to the property’s garbage dumpster. Collection days: Mondays and Thursdays for complexes located west of I-405 and

Ironically, Vener says Pistol Pete (his dog) died of a heart problem in a similar way Maravich died. “They both had heart problems and he just literally dropped on a walk,” Vener said of his dog who died at age 11. Maravich’s death was also sudden as he suffered arrhythmia on the basketball court at age 40 because he had a heart condition that provided him with only one coronary artery. Pistol Pete’s heart had a large mass. “It’s kind of interesting that he was named after the basketball player and both died a little before their time,” said Vener. Vener plans on traveling to Raleigh, N.C. and Clemson, S.C. for book signings Jan. 24-28. Maravich spent his junior and senior years in high school at Raleigh where he became a high school All American. Clemson marks Maravich’s childhood, where he would often go to its movie theater and dribble the basketball during intermission. The movie theater has since turned into the Tiger Shop, which is where Vener will have the book signing. Vener hopes to have a book signing in Kirkland or Redmond after his travels in the East but hasn’t secured a location quite yet. On top of publishing his

Pistol Pete books, Vener owns a sports marketing memorabilia company, Yes I Can, which specializes in Maravich memorabilia and Seattle sports teams as well as his website dedicated to everything “Pistol” at ThePistol.net. “Pete broke just about every NCAA scoring record that existed and still holds most of them,” reads Vener’s website. “At 44.2 points per game and 3,667 career points in three seasons, these records are not likely to be broken in our lifetime.” Vener played track, tennis and basketball in high school and tennis at Oregon State University. During his time in Seattle, he’s worked as a teacher and coach for high schoolers and created his Tennis One Tennis Camp. Now, he referees basketball at the Boys and Girls Club in Kirkland when he’s not tending to his company, website or creating pictorial books on Pistol Pete. “As far as (Maravich) as a person, you know what, I just admire him - that he changed his life after being an alcoholic,” Vener told the Reporter in an earlier publication. “He left a legacy that was different than just the average, selfish, superstar athlete, where he gave back.”

phones, computers, a flat screen TV and more missing from her property for a total loss of $14,316. That morning, the suspect walked up to the Kirkland home with a long-board skateboard, knocked on the front door and then walked around the residence to the back after no response. He smashed open a back door, left the residence but returned after

Topics. These issues are not insignificant — but should they keep you from investing? After all, in any given year, you won’t have to look hard to find warnings and negative news events — and many people do use these ominous-sounding headlines as a reason to head to the investment “sidelines” for a while. But if you’re not investing, you’re unquestionably missing out on opportunities to make

progress toward your financial goals. So, instead of focusing on the news of the day, make your investment decisions based on the fundamentals of those investments you may be considering, along with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Keep whittling away your debt. Over the past few years, Americans have done a good job of lowering their debt burdens. Of course, the

chain and a bracelet, which matched the description of stolen items from the Kirkland home, according to court documents. Police arrested the woman, and she confessed to pawning the items and dating Wollum. “She indicated that he had given her some jewelry to pawn about three to four weeks ago, and she had given him all the money from the pawned items,” said charging documents. “She stated that it was ‘probably bad stuff ’ and confirmed it was probably stolen.” Wollum’s girlfriend, who has not been charged, said the two had broken up and Wollum was an unemployed heroin addict, stating “everything he does is in an effort to get more heroin.” On the day of his arrest, police used a Kent K-9, as they approached Wollum at a Federal Way residence.

economy is still tough, and it can be challenging to avoid taking on new debts. But the less debt you have, the more you can invest for your retirement and other important objectives. Rebalance your portfolio to accommodate your risk tolerance. If you spend too much time worrying about the ups and downs of your investments, then your portfolio’s potential for volatility may be too great for your individual risk tolerance. On the other hand, if you continually see little growth in your holdings, even when the financial markets are going strong, you may be investing too

conservatively — especially if you are willing to take on some calculated risk to potentially boost your returns. So review your portfolio at least once in 2013 to see if it needs to be “rebalanced” to fit your risk tolerance. Get some help - navigating the investment world by yourself is not easy. For one thing, there’s a lot to know — different types of investments, changing tax laws, the effects of inflation, interest rate movements, and much more. Furthermore, when you’re making investment decisions on your own, you may have a hard time being objective — so you might end up investing with your heart, and not

your head. The need for knowledge and objectivity point to the advantages of working with an experienced financial professional — someone who understands both the financial markets and your individual needs and goals. These aren’t the only financial resolutions you could make for 2013 — but if you follow through on them, you may well need to make fewer ones when 2014 rolls around.

A man carrying a skateboard burglarized a Kirkland home in mid-November. The suspect is believed to be Johnny Clayton Wollum, who was charged Dec. 26 with burglarizing the Kirkland home, plus a home in Federal Way. CONTRIBUTED

720924

The so-called “skateboard burglar” was charged with two counts of residential burglary on Dec. 26 in King County Superior Court. Johnny Clayton Wollum, of University Place, was charged with breaking, entering and stealing from a woman’s Kirkland home at the 14100 block of 107th Ave. N.E. in mid-November. Wollum also faces the same charges of residential burglary after allegedly breaking into a Federal Way home on Dec. 19. Wollum’s bail is set for $100,000, due to the nature of the crimes and because of his admission to police that he committed 15 to 20 additional burglaries in the last six months, according to the charging documents. The 42-year-old was arrested on Dec. 20 after viewers that recognized him on Washington’s Most Wanted submitted tips to Crime Stoppers. On Nov. 13, the Kirkland resident reported jewelry, clothing, cell

he had retrieved a silver Volvo, the documents continue. The suspect backed the car into the driveway and began loading the stolen items into the car before he drove away. But what the suspect didn’t know was that his every action was captured by a multi-camera video surveillance system strategically located around the victim’s home. It was this video that was used to create still images of the criminal, which were circulated throughout the region’s law enforcement agencies, news outlets, including the Kirkland Reporter, and Washington’s Most Wanted TV show. Four separate tips were sent to police officers and Crime Stoppers, all indicating the suspect in the photos appeared to be Wollum. After one of the tipsters said the Volvo used in the crime is owned by Wollum’s girlfriend, detectives searched the 42-year-old woman’s home and discovered she possesses a 2004 Volvo S60 and that she had recently pawned earrings, a butterfly ring, a silver

...today’s parent Infants are at the highest risk for serious illness, hospitalization and death from pertussis. Fortunately, pertussis is preventable with a widely available vaccine. Women should be revaccinated with every pregnancy because protection is passed

from mother to baby. Vaccinating the mother, ideally between week 27 and 36 of her pregnancy, provides temporary immunity until the baby is old enough to get immunized, beginning at 2 months of age. Assuring that all family members and other close contacts are up-to-date with

their pertussis vaccine provides additional security, or a “cocoon” around vulnerable babies. Persons with cold or cough symptoms should stay away from babies because even people with mild symptoms can spread pertussis, influenza, and other infections. In addition to women

with each pregnancy, Tdap is recommended for all adults and teens 11 years of age and older if they have not received it previously. Children under 11 years should be up-to-date with their childhood pertussis vaccinations.

Pertussis data In King County: • Pertussis cases to date this year: 752 confirmed cases. Because not everyone with pertussis is diagnosed and reported, the actual number of people infected is even higher. • Deaths in 2012: The infant death reported in this news release is the first pertussis death in the County this year. • Number of hospitalizations in 2012: 12 • Peak illness: Case reports are declining after a peak in May, 2012. The number of reports received each week continues to be higher than this time in 2011, and higher than the five-year average for this time of year. • In 2011 there were 98 confirmed cases, four hospitalizations, and zero deaths.

On Dec. 13, a newborn King County child died from pertussis, which is commonly known as whooping cough. In 2012 to date there were 752

confirmed cases of pertussis reported among King County residents, the highest number in over a decade. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, most details about the circumstances surrounding this death are not being shared publicly.

Volunteers needed in areas of critical need

Community

BRIEFS

One hour can make a difference in a child’s life Do you have an hour each week to make a difference in the academic and social success a student experiences during their school day? One hour of your time can have a significant impact on a student’s academic and social achievements! Bell Elementary in Kirkland will start a Homework Club in January. Volunteers are vital to the success of the new Homework Club. Many students will need one-onone support. The school is turning to the community to help fill the tutoring gaps during the before and after school program. Bell teacher Judith Higgins shared, “The more volunteers we have, the more students we can serve.” The program is designed to provide an environment for kids to have a safe and positive learning atmosphere before and after school. Volunteers will work with kids and encourage them to complete homework and give them the necessary support to succeed. Student academic success is dependent on not only what they learn during the class day but also what is reinforced after school and at home. Higgins said, “Some of our students do not have the structure or support at home to help them practice the necessary skills they need for daily success at school.” The Homework Club will provide a place for students

to response from readers. Keep those letters coming – I’ll do my best to get the word out. Consider: YouthEastsideServices.org, 425-747-4937 YES is a great organization, active in our community, makes a definite difference, and guess what – needs volunteers. Just the thing for Kirkland Volunteers. YES can use volunteers to help mentor others; general office and handyman help; marketing internships; in the Adopta-Family and Adopt-a Program venues; in the

Supply drive program; party providers and in the Thank-a-thons efforts. Of these opportunities, I especially like the Healthy Start efforts designed to provide support to young families. A mentor in this focus can: reduce isolation by visiting young parents in their homes, promote positive parenting, encourage family independence, share your own knowledge and life experience, and learn more about your community resources. YES is especially looking for English speaking and bilingual (English-Spanish) volunteers. Call Karen at 425-586-2320 or email her

at karenW@YouthEastsideServices.org. Consider: The King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. This organization interacts with a multitude of social services groups, medical facilities, legal and police groups. These are all focused on providing helpful resources to combat this serious issue within our society – one that is often hidden and denied regarding the need. One of the key programs within this effort is the Sex Offender Management Team in King County wherein they provide: community education, community advocacy

and public policy work and legislative advocacy. The efforts of this group are designed to keep communities safe. This team began in June of 2001 and brings together the disciplines of law enforcement, corrections, prosecution, housing providers, victim advocates and sex offender treatment specialists. Volunteers are needed throughout the organization and candidates are encouraged to call or email to see if there might be a fit. Call Lindsay Palmer, director of Education and Prevention, at 425-2820353 or email lpalmer@ kcsarc.org.

to go and receive the extra support needed to complete assignments and gain a sense of accomplishment in the process. This opportunity can have a long term affect on how a student performs during the school day and their overall outlook on their ability to succeed. The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) LINKS Program is working closely with Bell and other schools to help meet their growing volunteer needs. Requests for classroom tutors, academic mentors and lunch buddies will go unmet without the caring help from our communities. LINKS (Looking Into the Needs of Kids and Schools) connects community volunteers with our schools, in programs such as the Bell Homework Club and more. To learn more about how you can make a difference in the life of a child with just one hour a week, please contact Nanci Wehr, LINKS Program coordinator at nwehr@lwsd.org or 425-9361410.

Kirkland-based AAOA Healthcare has been named the Family Business, Best Practices Award winner by the Seattle Business Magazine. The award was presented at Seattle Business Magazine’s Annual Washington Family Business Awards. AAOA Healthcare provides employee benefit solutions for small and mid-size employers. AAOA Healthcare was founded in 2002 by Pat Chestnut, president and CEO. Today, the family business includes his wife, Cary Johnson, vice president of Administration and stepson Alex Johnson, CFO. “When I developed the concept for AAOA Healthcare, I wanted to build something of lasting value,” said Chestnut, “and I wanted to provide true solutions for small businesses.” It is estimated that 60 to 70 percent of businesses in

the new location will open on Jan. 26 at 12650 Totem Lake Boulevard.

State’s alcohol ignition

Alcohol ignition interlocks in Washington will soon have a feature designed to prevent others from performing breath tests for the driver. Starting Jan. 1, a camera will snap a picture every time the machine is used, verifying that the driver is the person who took the test. Interlocks are required on the vehicles of those who’ve been accused or convicted of impaired driving. The machine requires a legal breath sample from the driver before allowing a car to start. “We’ve had cases where impaired drivers asked passengers, friends or even children to take the test for them,” said Lt. Rob Sharpe, commander of the Washington State Patrol’s Impaired Driving Section. “We’ve even heard stories of people trying to use portable air compressors to take the test. Failures or attempts to tamper with the device get recorded by the machine’s software. The company which leases the interlocks downloads the information and in turn contacts the State Patrol. “We do make personal visits to drivers if we have evidence they have tried to fool the machine,” Sharpe said. “Having a picture will be the best possible evidence that someone was trying to cheat.” Washington has what’s called an Ignition Interlock License, allowing those whose drivers’ licenses would normally be suspended to drive legally with an interlock. It was an acknowledgment that those accused or convicted of

One of 10 state community and technical colleges receiving the overall $3.5 million grant, LWIT will use the funds to develop open source curriculum for students in low-level English courses designed to accelerate their education toward a degree.

Remember – send in suggested volunteer opportunities to the Kirkland Reporter, attn: Bill LaMarche. Bill LaMarche is a 36-year Kirkland resident, retired, and active community, national and international volunteer. Bill’s prior career focused upon coaching and mentoring profit and nonprofit executives and company/organizational participants in professional development, leadership, organizational alignment and performance management, including planning for volunteer service as part of existing company/organizational culture. Bill can be reached through the Kirkland Reporter at letters@ kirklandreporter.com. The Foundation funds were given in support of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges’ (SBCTC) Integrated Digital English Acceleration (I-DEA) project grant. The program — which builds on the success of the Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) initiative — creates open source curriculum for adult learners in the lowest three levels English as a Second Language (ESL) to help them complete school sooner. “Right now we’re seeing students in ESL 1, 2 and 3 infrequently making the jump to the next ESL levels, as well as to collegelevel courses, due to the time and financial commitment involved,” said Doug Emory, dean of Academic Core, Hospitality, Service at LWIT. “We are aiming to change that with this grant, using the funds to develop a hybrid program that essentially gets these students working with college-level course content from day one.” State I-BEST programs help students get through college and into the workforce sooner. Traditionally, students were required to complete all basic education and ESL courses before attending courses toward a certificate or degree. I-BEST allows students in higher levels of ESL courses (ESL 4, 5 and 6) to take college credit courses by providing both the course instructor and an ESL instructor in the I-BEST classes. This allows the student to complete both the ESL course and the college-level course in one class.
