City of Kirkland sees slight increase in panhandling BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Jim’s daily goal is to secure his half of $66.75. After that, he can breathe easy. After that, he no longer needs to worry if he’ll have a bed to sleep in at night. “If we get our room and
a little extra, I’m happy,” Jim said of he and his brother, who are both Kirkland panhandlers. “Then we can get out of here and we don’t have to stand here all night.” Jim stands on the sidewalk of 116th Avenue Northeast in the Totem Lake neighborhood on Friday afternoon. His brother stands across the street from him and they hold up signs that read “hard times, homeless
and broke, anything helps, thank you and God bless.” The two have been homeless for three years, living day by day at Motel 6 in the Totem Lake neighborhood. Throughout the three years, Jim and his brother have only spent three sporadic nights without shelter. During those times, they sat at Denny’s all night long. Things turned for the worst when Jim and his
brother had a roommate who suddenly moved out of their Totem Lake residence at Woodlake Apartments. Jim and his brother “came up $50 short” on their paperwork because he said his brother couldn’t locate one W2 that proved he was working. As a result, Jim said the apartment’s management rented the apartment out from under them. “I had to pack everything up and put it in storage,” said Jim. [ more STREETS page 3 ]
FBI searching for ‘Mustachioed Bandit’ who robbed Kirkland Chase Bank BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
The ‘Mustachioed Bandit,’ who is the suspect in a Kirkland Chase Bank robbery that took place on Jan. 22. COURTESY OF THE FBI
A man wearing a fake mustache with poor handwriting robbed a Chase Bank in the Bridle Trails area Tuesday afternoon. The “Mustachioed Bandit,” wearing dark clothing and a Kangol cap, walked into the bank located at the Red Apple Market at 6625 132nd Ave. N.E., and passed a note to the teller at approximately 3:30 p.m. “The funny thing is
the teller couldn’t read the note,” said Lt. Mike Murray with the Kirkland Police Department. “The handwriting was so bad, she didn’t know what he meant.” But after the man showed the outline of a gun in his pants pocket and yelled that it was a robbery, the teller complied. “It wasn’t a lot of money,” Murray said. The man left but was seen getting into an older
dark green minivan, said Murray. According to the FBI, the minivan was parked nearby and is described as a late 1990s or early 2000s, forest green-colored Dodge or Plymouth Voyager-type vehicle. This is the third Kirkland bank robbery this winter. On Dec. 19, 2012, the Juanita Branch of a Wells Fargo Bank was robbed by an armed man with blue eyes, who wore a half-mask.
The next day (Dec. 20) three unarmed black men robbed a Wells Fargo in the Bridle Trails neighborhood by jumping over the teller counter. “Robberies, at least bank robberies, usually come in clusters,” said Murray. “We’ve had a bit of a run, (within the last few months) there’s been about four or five, but they’re all spread out, not the same people.” [ more BANDIT page 7 ]

www.kirklandreporter.com Although Jim and his brother have lived in Kirkland for more than 25 years, and each have worked various blue collar jobs, Jim said obtaining a job has been hard with the current state of the economy – especially for older people. The 53-year-old explains that his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung disease with chronic bronchitis as a symptom, prevents him from working in factories or other jobs that may entail poor air quality. Jim acknowledges that standing near car exhaust all day and his smoking habit don’t help his health, but even so, he says employers don’t want to hire older people. When Jim was on unemployment, he went to a WorkSource workshop and he said “there was this expert on older people getting jobs. The first thing out of his mouth was ‘Well, if you’re over 40 years old, good luck’ because people don’t want older people for jobs anymore.” Older people tend to be less healthy, they get tired quicker, they’re worth more money, usually, than what (employers) want to pay, said Jim. “It took me a long time to get used to this because I didn’t want to do it. I felt guilty, I felt bad, it just didn’t feel right,” he said. “But later, you just figure well, hey, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.” Fortunately for Jim, there’s a lot of generous people in Kirkland. “I’ve got regulars that I see and they’re happy to help,” said Jim. “A lot of panhandlers are aggressive, but we’re not aggressive. We just stand here and if people want to help us out, they do. If they don’t, they don’t. “Nobody really knows what to do and I sure as hell
Registration for Emergency Response Team Registration is now open for Kirkland’s eight-week Community Emergency Response Team training program. The program will run from 6-9 p.m. Mondays, beginning Feb. 25. To register, visit www. kirklandwa.gov. Registration is $35 per person. Classes will be held at Kirkland Seventh Day Adventist Church, 6400 108th Ave. N.E., Kirkland. In this FEMA-developed curriculum, participants will learn how to support their neighborhoods and their community by preparing for and responding to disasters.
don’t want to stay in a shelter because there’s sick people all over the place in those shelters.”
The Law Lt. Mike Murray with the Kirkland Police Department said panhandling has never been a real issue in Kirkland, nor is it a crime. He said very few people have made formal complaints about panhandling within the last few years. But Murray has seen a slight increase. Murray speculates t hat Kirkland sees only two to four panhandlers “at any given time” and the city doesn’t have many in comparison to other cities. “This time is pretty rough for them and we don’t see as many folks out,” said Murray, adding that panhandling is more common in the spring and summer because it’s not as cold to stand out on a street corner. When panhandlers do come out, many of them frequent Kirkland’s Houghton, downtown and Totem Lake neighborhoods. Last year Kirklander John Stubb proposed an ordinance to the Kirkland City Council. Although it was turned down, Stubb believes a panhandling measure is possible because Issaquah and Spokane made the motion a few years ago. Cities throughout the United States have panhandling ordinances in place, which when challenged, are often successfully overturned due to constitutional protections, said Murray. Murray compares the concept to when the Fire Department stands at busy intersections as they collect donations for their Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Fill the Boot charity fundraiser. “Fortunately for us, we have existing Kirkland Specifically, they’ll learn skills relating to disaster preparedness, fire suppression, triage and basic first aid, light search and rescue, disaster psychology and team organization. The program culminates on April 28 with a simulated disaster. Instruction is provided by Kirkland firefighters who have been certified by FEMA. For registration information, contact, Christina Brugman at cbrugman@kirklandwa. gov.
New interim Public Works director to lead major projects Pam Bissonnette joined the City of Kirkland on Tuesday
ordinances and state traffic laws, which although not specific to panhandling, allow us to adequately address the specific concerning behaviors usually associated with panhandling, such as overly aggressive or menacing type actions or obstructing traffic, walking into roadways, etc.,” Murray wrote in an email. “It has never been a major issue here in Kirkland, most of them are law abiding and peaceful.”
Turf War But sometimes there is the occasional “turf war.” Within two weeks in January, police responded to two different incidents at the Northeast 124th Street and 116th Avenue Northeast intersection near the Totem Lake Wendy’s. The Reporter witnessed four police cars surrounding some panhandlers at the southbound 405, exit 20 on Jan. 21. “They were upset at each other for one ‘taking over’ the corner that another person had felt was theirs because they work it more often,” said Murray, noting that these incidents occur fewer than five times per year. “Kind of a ‘turf’ argument. It was merely verbal altercations that were handled peacefully by our officers.” Jim, who saw one of these incidents ensue, said an intoxicated man started pushing another man who sells roses. When police arrived, both were ordered to leave the street median they were on. But the man who had been drinking - what Jim said was a Four Loko - came back. “Next thing you know, he’s on the ground, people called the cops, the same cops came back out and a few extras, and once they got him on his feet, they cuffed him,” Jim said. “So, he’s in jail as its interim Public Works director. Ray Steiger, who has served as director since June 2011, assumes the duties of deputy director. Bissonnette will lead the Public Works Department’s major projects, including completing construction of the Public Safety Building near Fred Meyer in the Totem Lake Business District, securing transportation funding from the State Legislature for congestion relief and new Northeast 132nd Street ramps to I- 405, implementing the voter-approved street maintenance and pedestrian safety projects and completing the Master Plan and interim trail for the Cross Kirkland Corridor.
for however long they do for trespass.” Kirklander Andrea Fuentes said in a Facebook comment she has contacted the City of Kirkland about a group of panhandlers who allegedly work together on all of the corners by Wendy’s. But according to Fuentes, city officials said they couldn’t do much about the panhandlers unless they were harassing people. “I would like to see them in a shelter and not on the corners of Kirkland,” Fuentes said, also noting she’s seen some with cell phones and speculates “they all live together at the Motel 6.” Dave Gover also said he’s seen panhandlers on mobile devices in the same area. “If they are able to afford a luxury item such as a mobile phone, they should not need to panhandle,” said Gover. “Give up the phone and buy some food. I am sympathetic to those who are less fortunate than I, but when I witness stuff like that happening, it makes me truly second guess how honest some of these people are in stating they are ‘homeless.’” However, Jim said it is these panhandlers that come to Kirkland who are from other areas that ruin it for the longtime Kirkland panhandlers. “You get them out here and they’re drinking in public…
(they) got their own little group of people that go out and… it’s their own little business is what it is,” he said.
The Public Nearly 20 Kirklanders see panhandling here as a problem. “I have been very surprised recently by the increase in the number of people panhandling in Kirkland,” said Shaun Kelly in a Facebook comment, adding that he sees them in west Totem Lake and Juanita. “I find it very discouraging to see so many people who feel the need to stand on the street asking for money this way. There has to be better options for making sure that nobody is in such need in this country.” Others, like Ty Roberts, have seen one gal who “likes to show up on 85th (Street) who is sometimes pregnant, sometimes not” and an older man who sits outside of the Rose Hill Starbucks. “Just never give them money. Ever. You’re not helping if you do,” said Roberts. “If you want to help, hand them a card for a shelter.” At least two women said they “hated” the panhandling and several agreed it shouldn’t be allowed. “These people put a bad mark on an otherwise pleasant town of Kirkland,” said Leandra Fuentes. “Not sure what visitors must think
when the first thing they see getting off the exits to the city are all these vagrants with their hands out.” Randy Kaiser believes that Kirklanders aren’t helping panhandlers find solutions to their emotional, economic or employment issues by allowing the practice to continue. And yet, those such as Cecilia and Josh Brown believe even if money can’t be given, a smile should. Josh, who recently moved out of Kirkland, believes that unless a person has been in a panhandler’s shoes, they shouldn’t assume they have the answers for them. “You never know what brought a person to that place and anyone, at any given time, could be in that same spot,” said Cecilia. “I’ll give if I can. When I can’t, I can always afford to give a smile or say hello.” The most recent annual One Night Count from the Seattle/King County Coalitions on Homelessness indicates the Eastside has seen a 43 percent increase of homeless people. On Jan. 25, the organization reported 197 homeless people who slept outside - 138 were reported last year.

EDITORIAL
Let’s hold off on armageddon
S
ome in our state are having an OMG moment because Sens. Rodney Tom and Tim Sheldon — both DEMOCRATS — have sided with Republicans to take control of the state Senate. Apparently, armageddon is just around the corner. Interesting those same people weren’t howling when Tom, as a Republican state senator from the Eastside, actually changed parties in 2006 and became a Democrat. Apparently outrage is a one-way street. Tom also is being blasted because people in his 48th Legislative District support Democrats. Yes, they do – but we think voters around here are more likely to vote for the person rather than the party. That’s one reason why our Top Two Primary was supported by a majority of voters. People know that a “D” or “R” after your name on the ballot doesn’t necessarily make you best for the job. What’s also amazing is that this doom-and-gloom is being raised before the Senate, with Tom in control, even before any bills have passed. Apparently, he is guilty until proven innocent. Funny

that we don’t hear this same cry when both Democrats and Republicans come together in a bi-partisan manner to pass legislation. Count us incurable optimists, but we think the state will survive – and perhaps improve – with the Senate
having both Democrats and Republicans in charge. Laws passed after both parties and both houses have had a chance to be heard usually are superior to what we get when one side is running the railroad.

Happy ending for lost dog and her owner Mandy, the therapy dog missing since a Jan. 11 car accident and fire in the Finn Hill neighborhood, was found Saturday morning, Jan. 25. Her owner is one happy man. Some cyclists spotted her in the woods near Northeast 138th Street. They tracked her until she tired enough so she could be cornered in a back yard. Her owner, who was also out searching, was notified and hurried to the scene, where they were reunited. Mandy was very wet, and had a sore rear paw, but was otherwise in good shape. She was taken to Inglewood Veterinary Clinic, checked out, bathed and dried, and released to her owner. Several neighbors participated in the search in addition to the cyclists. There were a lot of smiles and congratulations exchanged in a story that has a happy ending.

Bills could deny public right to public information Two bills making their way through the Washington State Legislature aim to take away the public’s right to transparent government and review of public decision making. If your city, or the state ever made a decision you questioned, or if you joined a committee to have your city council members or state officials hear your side of a controversy, then write your senator and representative immediately and STOP House bills 1128 and 1185. Laws on our books protect citizens’
right to information RCW 42.56.030 “The People, in delegating authority DO NOT give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know.” Yet HB 1128 is titled “Limiting Public Records Requests.” HB 1185 creates a cost environment wherein those who ask to see “records belonging to them as the public” will be charged fees up to the salary of government employees. The public is already paying the salaries to maintain and retrieve public records for the public, so this is asking citizens to pay twice in order to make it too expensive to ask to see the materials upon which decisions are made.

Transportation Commission causes commotion It’s time to do what’s right in Kirkland regarding its role in regional planning. The Transportation Commission’s desire to attain regional transportation goals is reducing our quality of life, a life that includes the freedom of movement that can only be attained using cars? Instead, the commission has created more traffic jams. Our traffic engineer has become a congestion engineer. We moved here because Kirkland is a suburban city, a city that’s role is to provide regional housing, parks, fire and police protection, and infrastructure for those who can afford it. Our quality of life has become a standard that should not be degraded. The commission’s desire for
regional transit in Kirkland has been a failure. The Growth Management Act requires local communities to improve capital facilities that support regional transit. In Kirkland, that means buses. The city has refused to provide the necessary infrastructure to accommodate mass transit. Buses unload their passengers at a rate of 45-60 people every 15 minutes in Kirkland, passengers get into their cars to go home. Almost all go through Kirkland. More traffic jams are not what we need. More infrastructure is not what citizens want. They want their street to remain residential. Adequate infrastructure that would prevent traffic jams are not what they want even though it would help prevent traffic jams. Residential streets may become collectors, collectors may become arterials, and arterials may become highways. So, what to do? What the commission should do is prevent more growth from degrading our quality of life. Concurrency should be enforced and not manipulated to allow more growth without adequate infrastructure. The Growth Management Act calls for a six-year capital improvement program, not annual programs that are changed every year to accommodate growth. Kirkland is not in compliance with growth management. Citizens who think their street is only a residential street when in fact their street has a greater function in preventing traffic jams, need to recognize what their street is and can be used for. If they don’t want it to change, it means less and possibly no more growth, so be it. To change it would degrade their quality of life. The commission is overly
concerned with global warming produced by cars. American cars are more highly regulated to prevent pollution. Some pollution from cars exist; however, much less due to federal guidelines. We’re not China. Kirkland should remain a suburban city. I for one don’t want more traffic jams created by mass transit. Either provide the infrastructure or reduce growth. The Cross Kirkland multiple transit proposals are good ones if planned properly. In the meantime, let’s hope the Transportation Commission stops degrading our quality of life. They need to keep Kirkland, Kirkland. We don’t need more commission commotion that takes tax dollars out of our pockets to subsidize mass transit, including rail service in Seattle and Bellevue that will not benefit Kirkland and only cause us and other jurisdictions in the same situation problems.

All proceeds from fund raising go directly to children and families in need, including student scholarships, Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing , March of Dimes, Eastside Baby Corner and many other charitable causes. The club also sponsors four different leadership youth groups in our local junior and high schools, known as Builder’s Club and Key Club, as well as offers mentoring and support to the Kirkland Teen Union Building. Each year Kiwanis sponsors a pancake breakfast in support of KITH over Memorial weekend and hosts the community Easter egg hunt held at Park Place as well as offers support to many community events such as the annual Music in the Park

Separate from other Kiwanis Club activities, the Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation assists with fund raising for the Eliminate Project, a joint effort between Kiwanis and UNESCO, whose goal is to eliminate the scourge of maternal neonatal tetanus that kills so many tiny newborns around the world. Another soon-to-be launched program is the Bill Petter Memorial Scholarship, which will focus on helping young high school graduates pursue technical careers in transportation technology at the Lake Washington Institute of
Technology. The Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation has also been instrumental in helping to raise money to replace the dilapidated playground equipment at Kirkland’s Woodlands Park “Tot Lot.” This work will take place in late Spring.

but no, Kirkland should not run an ice arena. If the market won’t bear it, then so be it. But like private skating rinks, I can guarantee you there would be affordable private pools to swim in with privatization. Should Kirkland subsidize a water park with slides and high dives? How about a golf course? No. Let the private sector handle those. Remember, there is no “right to recreation” or “right to entertainment.” You don’t have a “right to a pool.” So that justification for government involvement is gone. And if its not a true public good, then there’s no argument at all for public subsidy. Just because something is a good thing, doesn’t mean government should provide it. Privatization maximizes the overall economic pie and leads to increased standards of living and prosperity for a burgeoning middle class. The sky will not fall under privatization. Privatization shouldn’t be a scary or dirty word. Its what has created the great American success story over 235 years.

house still gets protected. 2. Common pool good, or “public good.” Like birds in the air or fish in the sea. A common pool good is such that a seller can’t enforce property rights; he can’t “exclude.” Fish already caught I can sell, but fish in the sea, I can’t. This leads to the “tragedy of the commons,” where fish are over-harvested because property rights in them can’t be enforced. 3. Uninternalized externality. It’s like dumping poop on my lawn and not picking it up, or playing loud music, or polluting the air. It’s an “externality,” or damaging spillover onto others, that the seller doesn’t have to pay for. To “internalize” means to make the producer reflect the cost of the externality in their product, that is pay for its cleanup; like a lawn mower catching the cut grass. But a swimming pool is not a natural monopoly, common pool good or beset with externalities. I can easily invest, exclude (patrons enter through one gate only), charge and seek profits from a pool. Thousands of Americans have pools in their backyards. A pool is a very private good. So if in a private market the cost to use Kirkland’s pool went up to $8 (from $4), then that’s the natural price. If it’s unfeasible to run it at that price, without subsidy, then the “market won’t bear it,” and there should be no pool. If a free market won’t provide a private good, then the people don’t want it. That’s what economics teaches us: let the market decide. Should Kirkland subsidize a skating rink? Skating is great, as is hockey,

rivatization. For many liberals, it’s a bad word. Patrick Harris’s September 2012 letter criticizing my proposal to privatize Kirkland’s pool states, “there are some things that are done for the greater good of the community and not just to make a dollar.” He also noted that 40 percent of Kirkland pool’s costs are borne by the city (read “taxpayer”) and that it would cost $8 to use the pool without subsidy versus $4 now. But it’s not good for the community to put tax dollars into inefficient areas. And that’s just what subsidy does. If a private pool wouldn’t exist because it’s unprofitable at $8 per person, that means the people don’t want it, or don’t want it bad enough. Subsidy is bad, even when supporting good things like swimming pools. Subsidies distort the natural forces of the market by misdirecting resources into inefficient areas, shrinking the overall economic pie. It’s like putting wood into an inefficient fire for heat: less “bang for your buck.” Mr. Harris believes a pool (like buses) is a “public good.” But he is mistaken. The only justification for government subsidy is for a true public good, and swimming pools and buses are not at all “public.” There’s only a public good when there’s a market failure. The three market failures are: 1. Natural monopoly where there is the “free rider” problem. For macro goods like national defense. If I don’t pay my taxes, the airspace over my

Affordable housing projects taking shape in Kirkland BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Although Kirkland is known for having beautiful lakeside mansions, throughout the next few years, Kirklanders can expect a bit more of a balance when it comes to affordable housing. New homes for youth, families and seniors with low to moderate income are taking shape around Kirkland’s Totem Lake, Kingsgate and Lakeview neighborhoods throughout the next three years. Nearly all of the projects will provide stable housing for those transitioning out of homelessness.
Homeless Youth Services Campus Project Friends of Youth organizers will finally hold a grand opening for their new Kirkland Youth Services Center this month. The ribbon cutting and open house will officiate the center, despite its recent opening this past December. The new youth center is a part of Friends of Youth’s Homeless Youth Services Campus Project and broke ground June 2012 with the remodel of the former Grace Chapel at 13116 N.E. 132nd St. The Youth Haven building, two homes for five boys and five girls in crisis, broke ground October 2012 on the two-acre parcel and is expected to be complete in the Spring of 2014. “This new campus will give us the ability to give youth a safe place and brighter future,” said CEO Terry Pottmeyer in a summer news release. The homes are meant for young adults 18-24 years old who need specialized support for mental health issues or if they have problems maintaining sobriety. The youth may only stay up to 18

months due to the terms of Department of Health and Human Service’s grant for services. The ARCH Housing executive board recently requested from the city a $240,000 grant and two lowincome housing vouchers for the Friends of Youth project. “Most people I meet don’t quite believe that there are any homeless youth on the Eastside,” said Pottmeyer in a November newsletter. “They’re pretty sure those kids must come here from somewhere else — like Seattle. But I can tell you that every single zip code on the east and north side of the lake is included in the homeless youth we serve.” Friends of Youth delivers a comprehensive range of therapeutic services for youth, young adults and families. With 60 years of experience, national accreditation and 21 program sites, the agency provides safe places to live and emotional support for youth and families in challenging circumstances across Puget Sound.
South Kirkland Park and Ride apartments As part of a larger project deemed the Transit Oriented Development, Imagine Housing’s 58 apartment complex is scheduled to break ground in the Lakeview neighborhood during the last few months of 2013 and will be open by December 2014. The apartments will be for low-income individuals and families with 29 apartments dedicated to households earning 30 percent of the King County area median income or below, or $21,120 for two people; 15 will go toward households earning 40 percent of the area median income, $28,160 for two, and below; and 14 apartments will be dedicated to households earning 60 percent of the area median income, The 24 Hour Fitness Kirkland Totem Lake Sport club located at 12526 Totem Lake Boulevard N.E. replaced the original 24 Hour Fitness Kirkland club, which closed its doors at 529 Parkplace Center on Jan. 25. Kirkland City Councilwoman Penny Sweet and Councilman Bob Sternoff joined 24 Hour Fitness at the community celebration.
$42,240 for two, or below. That mix will include 12 apartments dedicated to families transitioning from homelessness and nine that will be set aside for people with disabilities. “We believe that a community is made stronger when there are housing options for people at all income levels,” said Ann Levine, the Imagine Housing executive director. “The fact is that it is incredibly expensive to live in this community.” According to a Dupre and Scott Apartment Advisors, Inc. vacancy report, the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in Kirkland is $1,221. “There are so many jobs on the Eastside - retail, baristas, hair stylists, entry level teachers, hotel staff and many others - that pay far less than what a single parent would need to afford housing on the Eastside, near where the parent works,” Levine said. As a result, she said this lack of affordable housing in Kirkland and other Eastside cities forces workers to commute long distances between work and home, which is often located in communities they can afford. “This adds to traffic congestion and family stress,” she said. “By creating affordable housing communities on the Eastside, we make it easier for people to continue working on the Eastside.” Rent will range from as low as $462 for a studio to $686 for a three bedroom for families with the lowest earnings. Households earning 60 percent of the area median income could pay up to $990 for a one-bedroom apartment. However, all rents are based on income and the size of household. Studios will be 500 square feet, one bedrooms will be 600 square feet and two and three bedrooms will be 800 square feet. The bottom floor of the complex will have a media Sweet took part in a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony and proclaimed Jan. 26 as “Healthy Kirkland Day” in honor of the grand opening. “24 Hour Fitness is excited to open the doors to our newest club and celebrate ‘Healthy Kirkland Day’ with our friends and neighbors,” said Dan Benning, division president, 24 Hour Fitness. “Our team is passionate about
Imagine Housing’s Totem Lake Senior Apartments project will provide low-income seniors, 62 years and older, with 95 affordable homes. The project is expected to be complete in 2015. CONTRIBUTED center, library and exercise room and the top floor will offer a community room “to hold supportive service programs for the residents, including after-school activities for kids and life skills training programs for adults,” a community kitchen and an outdoor deck. Homework clubs, summer camps, trainings and workshops for adults, community meals, yoga classes and other activities and resource referrals will also be available for residents. Interested individuals and families can begin putting their names on the wait list as early as May 2014 by contacting a representative at FPI Management, Imagine Housing’s third-party management company.
Totem Lake Senior apartments The Kirkland City Council recently approved a resolution that allocated $300,000 of Kirkland funds from the Fall 2012 ARCH Housing Trust Fund to Imagine Housing’s Totem Lake Senior Apartments project. Although the funds exceeds the city’s budgeted amount of $291,000, the total includes funds that have been “recaptured” as loan repayments from previous projects, according to city documents. The senior project will be located near Imagine Housing’s other affordable housing helping our members and guests reach their 2013 fitness goals, and we know the new club and all its featured amenities will help them stay motivated to succeed.” Club manager Michael Schwamberger, a three-year veteran of 24 Hour Fitness, will lead approximately 40 team members at the new club, which spans approximately 25,300 square feet.
community Francis Village, which was completed in 2011. The senior apartments will break ground at the end of 2014 with expected completion in September 2015. The project will provide low-income seniors, 62 years and older, with 95 affordable homes. Fifty-seven units will be available for seniors who earn 50 percent of the area median income, $30,800 for one person; 38 units for seniors who earn 30 percent of the area median income, $18,480 for one person; and 15 units will be dedicated to low income seniors who are transitioning out of homelessness. “The need for affordable housing for seniors is rising as the population of seniors rises,” said Levine. “…Our two existing senior communities - Ellsworth House in Mercer Island and Kirkland Plaza in Kirkland - have long wait lists and very little turn over.” Levine said by offering affordable senior housing, seniors are able to age in the community they’ve spent their life in, even on a fixed and limited income. Rent will range from as low as $462 for a studio, to as high as $990 for a two bedroom. Studios will be 500 square feet, one bedrooms will be 600 square feet and a two bedroom will be 800 square feet. Although seniors will have access to Francis Village’s
services, such as adult classes, trainings, community meals, events and some light case management, the homes are meant to be for independent living and does not provide medical care. Imagine Housing has received funds from cities all over the Eastside but is still in the process of securing the rest of its funding for the project. Levine said they will request $2.1 million from King County, $2.5 million from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund through the Department of Commerce, $12.5 from low income housing tax credit equity and they hope to secure a private loan of nearly $3 million. “We are excited to have been awarded funds from the Eastside cities through ARCH to develop this important affordable housing community for seniors,” Levine said. Interested seniors may put their name on the wait list in February 2015 and should contact a representative at FPI Management to do so. The Totem Lake Senior Apartments will be Imagine Housing’s 14th affordable housing community on the Eastside.

However, Murray noted the robber who has hit several Eastside businesses within the last few months is a “big deal” because the crimes have been so close together and the suspect is still at large. Police say the Chase Bank robber is either white or Hispanic, in his 20’s, between 5-feet, four-inches to 6-feet tall and weighs between 145190 pounds. The FBI Seattle Safe Streets Task Force is seeking information about the suspect.

Love is in the air as
Valentine’s Day rolls around again. During the course of your life, you’ve probably sent your share of flowers and candy. But if your valentine is also your spouse — and,
in particular, your long-time spouse — you may want to go beyond roses and chocolates this year to give a gift that can help lead to financial security.

You can choose to make financial gifts in a number of ways, of course, and some of them could provide an immediate financial impact. But you may want to look even further down the road and consider what you can do for your spouse in the areas of insurance planning and estate considerations. For starters, do you have sufficient life insurance to help provide for your spouse and any children who may not yet be adults? Many people rely solely on their employers’ group insurance, which is often insufficient to adequately cover all the costs associated with maintaining their families’ lifestyles. How much life insurance do you need? There’s no one right answer for everyone, so you may wish to consult with your financial advisor. Life insurance isn’t the only type of protection you need
to consider — because you don’t have to die to lose your income. In fact, statistically speaking, you are more likely to become disabled during your working years than you are to die — which is why you need adequate disability income insurance. Your employer may provide disability coverage, but it may not be sufficient. So you may also need to consider adding a private policy. While it’s important to maintain adequate life and disability insurance, it’s still not enough to ensure your spouse will be taken care of if he or she outlives you. You also need to ensure that your estate plans are in order. Toward that goal, you will need to work with your legal advisor to create the necessary legal documents, such as a will, a living trust, a durable power of attorney or whatever other arrangements may be appropriate for

your situation. In generating your estate plan, you must consider many factors: the amount of assets you have, how you want them divided, when you would like them distributed, and so on. In any case, estate planning can be complex, so you will need to work with your legal and tax advisors before putting any strategy into place. Life insurance, disability income insurance and an estate plan don’t sound like particularly romantic gifts. And you can’t really just “give” them on Valentine’s Day because it will take some time to assemble the insurance coverage and estate planning arrangements you need. But if you haven’t fully worked on these key parts of your financial strategy yet, perhaps Valentine’s Day will be a good time to start because once they are taken care of, you’re really giving your valentine some gifts that are designed to last a lifetime.

Kirkland firefighters saved a 58-year-old man trapped under his vehicle in the Highlands neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon. The man found his lower legs pinned under his large white van at the 9500 block of 112th Ave. N.E. around 1:20 p.m. Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray said the man was working on a job site when he parked and
assumed he put the emergency break on, but failed to do so. When he noticed the van start to roll, he climbed back inside to stop it. “The man tried to stop his van from rolling back down a driveway and the vehicle turned and then rolled over, trapping him inside the vehicle with his legs outside the passenger compartment…,” according to a Kirkland Firefighter’s Facebook post.

A Snohomish County task force made some big arrests after police tracked a stolen vehicle to its thieves. According to The Herald, the vehicle was stolen from a Kirkland motel earlier this week. The black 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe’s GPS led investigators to an Everett home where they found two stolen cars, 14 firearms (11 confirmed stolen), 3,000 rounds of ammunition, precious jewels and $50,000 worth of power tools. The Herald reports a 30-year-old man and his 23-year-old girlfriend were in the Tahoe as Snohomish County sheriff ’s deputies located it at the suspect’s grandmother’s house. The suspects were arrested and taken to Snohomish County Jail on Thursday. The Reporter will update this story as more information becomes available.

Gross and fine motor skills
ith the decline of funding over the past decade for music programs, you have probably heard the arguments that music is important to learning. But do you know why? Here are some facts you may not know.
One of the most easily understood benefits of music and movement is the development of both gross motor skills (large muscles, whole body movement) and fine motor skills (small muscle movement and hand eye coordination needed for handwriting). They learn to move their bodies with intent and accuracy while enhancing their fine motor skills with finger plays like “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and playing instruments.

Dear Brandi, You truly want the writing success for all students, including your own children and for this I am also very encouraged! One of my favorite resources regarding the most current research and best practices in education is a book called “Best Practice: Today’s Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools.” The authors – Steven Zemelman, Harvey Daniels, and Arthur Hyde – do an excellent job of laying out the best practices in each subject area all supported by the most current research. Below are the best practices in writing discussed and what I also know to be effective as a teacher and among experts in the field of teaching writing, including Lucy Calkins, Katie Wood Ray, Nancy Atwell, Ralph Fletcher, and Regie Routman. Qualities of the Best Practices in Teaching Writing -All Children Can and Should Write (allow time daily) -Teachers must help students find real purposes

information. For example, the ABC song helps teach letters in a much more effective way than simply reciting them. Why do you think that advertisers pay millions for great jingles in their commercials? Because they stick! Also, songs often emphasize words differently than when regularly spoken which also increases cognitive reception of language.

tion which increases mathematical awareness. Music also enhances spatial-temporal reasoning. This means that it supports the understanding of the physics of where they are in relation to the space, objects, and people around them. Working with rhythms also aid in the development of the concept of time and all of these are the building blocks of math, science, and engineering. As you can see, there are many benefits to learning through music and it is not only effective, it’s FUN!

I’m really excited about the approach our school is taking to create writers by using writing conferences and writing workshop schoolwide to meet each student at their level and help them to achieve their personal best. I’m a teacher and parent who truly believes if done correctly, writing conferences are a key ingredient to creating strong writers. Can you highlight the “Best Practices in Writing” and why these have been proven to work over time?
to write and real audiences to reach - Students need to take ownership and responsibility (their ideas) -Effective writing programs involve the complete writing process (drafting, revising) -Teachers can get students started, draft, and revise -Grammar and mechanics are best learned in the context of actual writing (not on separate worksheets) -Students need a classroom context of shared learning (working with partners) - Writing should extend throughout the curriculum (integrated) -Use evaluation constructively and efficiently and involve students in process of reflective and self- assessment (rubics/checklists/anchor papers) Writing conferences, as you mentioned in your question above, are an ideal opportunity for teachers to meet each child where they are and take them to that next level. The Writing Workshop allows you to teach a quick mini lesson (ideally by modeling using a mentor text, teacher’s own writing, or student work) on a writing strategy or topic to the whole class and then move on to students working on their own ideas while you meet one-on-one. Although, I am a fan of the Units of Study, a writing workshop curriculum, written by Lucy Calkins, we must always be careful to rely on one program to meet the needs of our learners, for each of our learners are different. We can remember to meet the qualities of the best practices in writing along with meeting the Common Core Standards to gauge our teaching. We also must remember that the Writing Workshop is just one component of a Balanced Literacy Program. A balanced Literacy Program

is one that allows for time for Read Alouds (so important), Shared Reading, Word Study (Phonics), Independent Reading, Reading Workshop, Writing Workings, Shared Writing, and Interactive Writing, not to mention integrating reading and writing throughout the content areas such as in science, social studies, technology, and math. The research of Zemelmen, Daniels, and Hyde concluded that we must decrease: the use of the teacher deciding all writing topics, providing instruction only through whole- class activity, spending times on isolated drills on “subskills,” assignments given with no context or purpose, finished pieces read only by teacher, teachers only talking about writing but never writing or sharing own work, the sense of class as competing individuals, cooperation among students as cheating or disruptive, writing taught only during language arts period, editing, revision done by teacher only with no student input, focused on errors, and not growth. Once again, I’d advise parents, teachers, and principals to always assess whatever program implemented by the children’s achievement and attitudes. Meaning, how are the children progressing and do they feel like “writers” and love to write. Too often we adopt “programs” in our schools that promise to do just this but in the end the program is a one size fits all approach and students are not engaged. A true test of effective instruction is not only watching students grow and gain skills over time, but walking into the classrooms where the teacher says, “It’s writing time!”

Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da: Beatles tribute band rocks Pike Place Market BY AVNEET CHATTHA UW News Lab
I
n 2009 Crème Tangerine performed its first annual rooftop concert. It was an instant success. A blockbuster hit. Now five years later, the band celebrated the fifth anniversary with another performance. On a chilly Friday, Crème Tangerine lit up Pike Place Market during the lunch hour by performing hit songs from the Beatles’ “White Album.” In the heart of the Market – not far from the famous fish throwers - the band rocked out on the Copacabana Café balcony. Despite the frigid and overcast weather, around a couple hundred people turned out. For Crème Tangerine, which got its start in Kirkland, the event started as a way to honor the 40th anniversary of the Beatles’ legendary rooftop gig. On Jan. 30, 1969 the Beatles rushed onto the Apple Records’ building in London to perform some of their songs off their “Let It Be” album. First-year attendees Julie and Arnold Arnan said the event was a blast. As friends and fans of the band, they said they enjoyed having a nice lunch while listening to live music. Despite a cloudy sky,

But band members still get butterflies before a concert. According to Lockhart, he could

Once I made that transition, anything that resembles butterflies is immediately turned into radiant sunbeams.” Maybe Erickson’s raw energy, paired with the rest of the band’s vibrant sounds, helped to clear the skies. As the band finished the final sounds of “Here comes the Sun,” the clouds hovering over Elliott Bay actually did part. The mood continued to be sunny throughout
Breaking the bean: Savrika brings a tea culture to Kirkland BY PETE TREPERINAS UW News Lab
It’s hard to go more than a block or two without seeing a coffee shop in the downtown Kirkland area. Aside from chains such as Tully’s and Starbucks, quirky local spots to get coffee have been popping up en masse. Savrika Tea has no desire to fit into that mix. “My goal is to really be the alternative of a coffee shop,” said owner Rupa Dalal Gadre, whose business opened just four months ago. “I think people are tired of going to the same cookie-cutter coffee places. There’s only one Savrika.” Gadre’s passion for tea began to develop when she would take her two infants to Gymboree at Alderwood Mall. A trip to Alderwood almost always meant a stop at Teavana, a tea shop inside the mall. Some coffee shops have
tea on their menus, but Savrika boasts a menu with roughly 190 varieties of loose-leaf teas, with plans for more than 200. Since deciding to open Savrika, Gadre has made a point to educate both herself and her staff on their products — she recently passed certification courses for Oolong and Pu-erh teas in San Francisco, Calif. Those certificates are proudly hanging on the wall inside the shop. Additionally, Gadre makes her employees pass a quiz and read some tea literature before they can start working. “I didn’t know about the different ways that teas can be treated and rolled,” Savrika manager Dina Phelps said. “So it’s been quite the learning experience.” The Savrika experience is centered on serenity and taking the time to relax. That starts with a concept

that Gadre believes is absent from many coffee shops — patience. “It takes three to five minutes for most teas to (steep) and you just wait,” she said. “Tea takes some time, and so when you get that mentality, the customer learns to take a few minutes for themselves. It’s about taking the time to enjoy the tea.” Paired with the tea are a
few small pieces of chocolate. Savrika employee Marianna Hanefeld compared having tea with chocolate to wine and cheese. “It’s just a taste-bud thing,” she said. Located at 115 Kirkland Ave., Savrika has grabbed the city’s attention. On its four-month anniversary, the shop was honored by Mayor Joan McBride with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
To Gadre, that was symbolic of the positive feedback she’s received from the Kirkland community as a whole. “My (real-estate agent) showed me this street and it just felt perfect,” she said. “It’s a very friendly area and people have gone out of their way to support me.” That support has been there since the beginning, according to Phelps. “We’ve had regulars who come in every day and order the same tea,” she said after greeting Sung Rhee, who is one of those regulars. Rhee tends to favor an iced green mango or a Moroccan mint tea. Some days he likes to try new varieties, but when he’s not feeling creative, the staff easily knows what his order will be. Both the selection and the atmosphere keep Rhee coming back to Savrika. “They have an incredible
the rest of the 90-minute performance. Crème Tangerine is already planning on coming back next year. “Long as people keep coming out, we plan to keep playing,” said Lockhart.

amount of choices from which to try from,” he said. “I also like the ambience.” Rhee is a self-proclaimed tea drinker who stays away from coffee, but there has also been an insurgence of coffee drinkers whom Savrika has swayed toward tea. “We’re not campaigning outside Tully’s or Starbucks, but people are obviously trying to be healthier and more enlightened about tea and we’re here to serve,” Gadre said. After just over four months in business, Gadre said her business has unfolded just how she envisioned it. It embodies the eclectic setting she sought out to capture. “I think it’s a great meeting spot,” she said. “But it’s also at the same time a good place to sit and reflect on tea.”
