LWHS hosts DUI vehicular homicide simulation BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
A teenage girl hung out of the passenger window of a Ford Bronco as red streaks dripped down the door. The vehicle’s front end was a mass of crumpled metal that twisted with the grooves of a smaller car’s crushed front end. Sirens blared as ambulances and police cars approached the Lake Washington High School football field. Police officers arrived to open the car’s driver-side door. Beer cans rolled out. What was once a place for happy memories and sport victories, was now the scene of a DUI vehicular homicide accident – or so it appeared. Hundreds of Lake Washington high schoolers sat in the rows of the Kangaroos’ football stadium on the morning of May 17. All eyes were glued as Kirkland firefighters carried out a lifeless looking body from the truck window, only to be covered by a white tarp. They stared as firefighters
Lake Washington High School students look on during a mock DUI crash on May 17. CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter used the Jaws of Life to rip off a door to reach the others. And mouths hung open when an emergency helicopter hovered above the field and landed between the scoreboard and football goal post, a narrow space. Students watched as firefighters, EMT’s, police and their peers acted out a tragic DUI vehicular homicide simulation.
“We hope that especially in light of this, and with the holiday weekend coming up and prom, that these kids will choose to make a difference in the way that they celebrate,” said Andrea Frost, LWHS drug and alcohol counselor and organizer of the simulation. Frost’s leadership class and the presenting group worked all school year on
not only the DUI simulation, but to spread the word that driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not “cool” and especially not OK. “I’m just really proud of them,” she said. “These kids are stepping up and taking on leadership roles, whether they were in leadership class or the [ more DUI page 7 ]

wenty years ago, gas was at $1 a gallon, a movie titled “Sleepless in Seattle” just premiered and a young mother named CJ Taylor-Day brought together a small group of friends and volunteers to establish the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Losing her mother to breast cancer at age 17, CJ was passionately committed to ensuring “no child should ever grow up without a mother because of breast cancer.” Since that beginning, Komen Puget Sound has grown to rank fifth out of 120 Komen affiliates nationally. As a result of this growth, the affiliate has been able to invest over $7 million into medical research to better diagnose, treat and ultimately cure breast cancer. But the majority of the affiliate’s grants, over $19 million, have been invested right here in our community to fund breast health education, screening and treatment support. Komen Puget Sound continues to be the largest
private provider of free mammogram support to low income and uninsured women. The Komen Patient Assistance Fund has provided thousands of breast cancer patients in our community with financial support for life’s basic needs, allowing them to continue their lifesaving treatments. Women like Kate B. from Renton, Washington said: “I have been incredibly anxious because my treatments for breast cancer have meant missing work. I was SO thankful for the money I received from the patient assistance fund because it allowed us to catch up with my mortgage payments. Without the Komen fund, we would have faced the stress of possible foreclosure. I want to say thank you very much for your help.” The fight against breast cancer has come a long way in the last 20 years. Komen Puget Sound will continue this fight until Komen’s promise of a world without breast cancer becomes a reality.

Boy collects hundreds of baseball items for kids around the world rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
F
our hundred baseballs, 126 baseball bats, 47 helmets, 46 pairs of gloves and 15 catcher’s masks are piled to one side of the Goldstein’s garage in the Norkirk neighborhood. The Goldsteins plan to ship the equipment to underprivileged youth who play baseball around the world. And they have 13-yearold Spencer Goldstein to thank. “It just feels nice to do something this big when you know it’s going to help somebody else,” said Spencer, who has played baseball since he was 2 years old. “...That’s nice to know that they can have that stuff and that I can make a difference.” As a part of his bar mitzvah in March, Spencer’s family and members at his place of worship, the Temple de Hirsch Sinai, encouraged him to complete a mitzvah volunteer project, or a good deed, which is designed to teach young Jewish adults responsibility. “There’s this idea in Judaism called ‘Tikkun olam,’ which means repairing the world,” said Spencer’s mother Meredith Goldstein. “And that’s something we’re encouraged to do all the time.” Spencer chose to collect baseball equipment after he saw an ESPN story about how the Ugandan team at the Little League World Series last year had come so far, yet practiced baseball with unfavorable circumstances such as dirt fields, cracked baseball bats or no gloves and catcher’s gear. Spencer began to seek donations from many
local families earlier this year so that he could donate the goods by the end of May to Pitch In For Baseball. The national organization collects and distributes gently used youth baseball and softball equipment to underserved communities in the U.S. and around the world. With help from his father, Spencer was able to collect the hundreds of donations by emailing family friends, families he knew from playing baseball and people associated with the Kirkland American Little League and Bellevue West Little League. “A lot of it was individual donors,” Spencer said. “They gave most of the stuff. It was very generous of them.” The Goldsteins also found unique ways to collect the donations. One Saturday during Little League tryouts, Spencer and his dad managed an “equipment swap” and after it was finished, they took what was left. And during his bar mitzvah in March, a box was set out for friends and family - who had been emailed prior - to donate to Spencer’s cause. “I think people were happy to have a place to give [the equipment],” said Meredith. “Every
year they need new shoes because their feet grow, new bats because the kids are growing. You can’t necessarily use it so you feel kind of bad because the stuff is still in good condition.” Meredith said as a way to honor Spencer’s hard work, some of the baseballs and batting helmets acted as table centerpieces during his bar mitzvah celebration. While Spencer knows Pitch In For Baseball will distribute the goods to youth in any country who needs equipment, he and his mom do admit it would be special if the Ugandan team could benefit from their donations. About four years ago the Goldsteins hosted two Ugandan students as part of a program with an organization called Sister Schools. The local nonprofit is registered in Washington, Uganda and east Africa with a mission to distribute school supplies to underserved schools. Children have their photo taken with their pencils, crayons or scissors, donate them, and then receive a photo of another child from around the world with their donated school supplies. “It’s a great organization. It’s an organization that I’ve stayed involved

with,” Meredith said. “It’s the idea of teaching little kids that they can have an impact on the world.” In putting this much work into Spencer’s project, he’s realized that if he sets a goal and works hard enough he can accomplish his goal and maybe even “blow [it] out.” “I would really like to thank all of the people that just donated equipment or that helped me, that encouraged me to accomplish my goal,” Spencer said.

EDITOR’S NOTE
(24 people voted)
s the end of the school year wraps up and our kids look forward to a fun summer, there’s a stark reality that looms. This reality demands our attention because it’s killing our kids. For me and my family, the issue of teen suicide was no more close to home than it was last week when my kids’ classmate attempted suicide. My children attended a couple of candlelight vigils with the school community and the classmate’s parents. They came home saddened and confused that such a seemingly jovial young man would try and take his life. As a mother, I was saddened too. While I don’t know the student personally, I know he grew up with my kids and their group of friends. I know he danced in the hallways and made my daughter laugh. I know he sang in the choir with my stepson. The school sent home a letter with my kids that said the boy was in critical condition. It said the school wanted to work closely with families to help young people make sense of situations that cause stress, anxiety, fear and oftentimes isolation. The boy died on Sunday as a result of his injuries. Sometimes we don’t know why things like teen suicides happen. But as the end of the school year draws near, students are more pressured than ever to score well on finals and to complete end-of-class projects on deadline. Stress, anxiety and depression can all lead to

George Fraser recall how his 19-year-old son Geoff died as the result of a DUI accident. He said his son was sober, but he made a decision that night to get in the car with his friend, knowing he was drunk. The look on the students’ solemn faces showed that they were getting the message. With prom and graduation around the corner, driving under the influence is also a timely discussion that we need to have with our kids. I told my three teenagers that it’s much better for them to risk annoying me to come pick them up in the middle of the night than to risk their own lives. Talk to your kids. They may roll their eyes at you. But you may also open their eyes.

suicide. In a story on page 8, Debbi Halela of Youth Eastside Services says currently teen suicide is a “huge concern” for the organization. There have been a couple of teen suicides in Kirkland in the past couple of years and the organization is aware of that trend on the Eastside as a whole. As parents, we need to talk to our kids about the pressure they feel about school, and about life. We need to be aware of the issue of depression and how it affects teens, according to YES. But there is also another issue facing youth that we should pay attention to. Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a DUI vehicular homicide simulation event at Lake Washington High School.

Cannot afford to risk city’s future A recent Sunday Seattle Times article called “Summer Shopping Safaris” highlights some of the great places to visit around Seattle during the summer, including Kirkland. As one reads the information about Kirkland in the article, one can see that what is attractive about Kirkland is exactly the opposite of what the Comprehensive Plan seems to have as a vision for the area described. As we update our Comprehensive plan, we need to keep this in mind. What we now call the “Central Business District” and have
made part of the Moss Bay neighborhood deserves serious reconsideration. Our waterfront is our greatest asset. We need to capitalize on it. Our true “Central Business District” should be at Totem Lake, an area with good freeway access and a variety of zoning opportunities. Our waterfront commercial area needs to be protected, almost as much as we value our parks. As we look at the Comprehensive Plan in the next year or so, I believe we should eliminate the term “Central Business District” from our lexicon (as it applies currently). I believe we should include the word “waterfront” in any future description of what we now call the Central Business District. Examples would be “Waterfront Commercial District,” “Central Waterfront District,” or “Waterfront Business District.” Other options abound. We can then use the term “Central Business District” or “New Central Business District” to apply to the area around Totem Lake, which will soon include our new Public Safety Building, and perhaps in the future, a new City Hall.
Doing so would assure that 10-20 years from now the Seattle Times will still be able to extol the beauty and benefits of coming to Kirkland to enjoy our “eateries,” “marina,” “parkland,” “galleries,” “coffee shops,” “pedestrian- and dog-friendly scenery,” “outdoor sculptures,” “views,” the “Grape Choice,” etc. We cannot afford to risk our future by encouraging excessive high-rise development in this unique waterfront asset.

City wasted taxpayer money on moratoriums The Kirkland City Council and our appointed officials have a duty to represent all of the taxpaying residents of Kirkland. I want you to represent all of us, not just a few opposed to the Potala Village project. Our land-use plan, zoning and regulations on land use were developed through a public process intended to serve all of the residents of our city. The owners of the Potala Village project have rights to
develop their property, and those rights were vested to the owners through a timely application for permits. The owner’s right to develop should be protected, not opposed by the city of Kirkland. In hindsight, a few residents of our city that will be affected by the development may see our zoning and development regulations as wrong. However, they were created through a public process intended to benefit all of us. Those few residents of our city opposing the project had the opportunity to affect the process, or to leave the area if they did not like the result of our city’s effort to equally protect the interests of all residents. I have pointed all of this out to City Manager Kurt Triplett and the council previously in a Jan. 14 email. It would have been easy for the city to confirm the law and its application to this situation. Now a judge has confirmed the law. It is wrong to attempt to circumvent our regulations through moratoriums and legal actions. It is a waste of taxpayer money. It is attempted theft.

Kirkland firefighter’s wife kills home intruder wounds. “The family does not appear to know the suspect,” West said in a phone call. In the first intrusion, West said, a man entered the home through an unlocked back door. The wife, her mother-in-law, and the baby were in the house when the intruder hit the wife, stole some money from the house, and fled. Deputies searched the area with dogs but were unable to locate the suspect. Roughly 12 hours later, 1:40 a.m., deputies were called to the same home for another home invasion. West said Kirkland firefighter Kyle Jacobson and his wife were asleep, but heard their dogs barking, and when Jacobson got up to let the dogs out, he met the intruder. “The husband and
the intruder got into a physical fight,” West said, and the wife also joined in. During the struggle, she grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed the intruder, who was pronounced dead at the scene. West did not believe that any charges would result from the man’s death, but could not say for certain. “There’s no indication that the homeowners were doing anything but protecting themselves,” she said. “Right now the family is recovering from a tremendously stressful event,” said Joe Sanford with the Kirkland Fire Department. Deputies searched the house and discovered several screens had been removed from windows, but it’s not clear how the intruder gained entry.

Juanita crushes Holy Names for district title BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirkland.com
The Juanita High School softball team has been an infinite post-season contender. In 2011 they won the state title and last year they beat cross-town rival Lake Washington for the district title. This year is proving to be no different. The Rebels showed their power and defense as they defeated Holy Names, 13-2, for the 4A Sea-King District title on Thursday at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle. Juanita broke a threeinning-long stalemate with a run in the third, but their offense broke loose during the fourth, scoring five runs to take a 6-0 lead. The Cougars kept it close, scoring two runs during the bottom of the fourth. Juanita hammered the ball during the sixth inning for five more runs to end the game early via the mercy rule. The Rebels pounded out 18 hits during the game. Madison Hedlund ac-
The Juanita High School softball team won the district title by defeating Holy Names. The Rebels now move on to the state tournament in Lacey , Wash. this weekend. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO counted for two of those hits, including a home run and three RBI. But the biggest weapon for Juanita was in the pitching circle, as Milly Kawabata shut down the Cougars. She threw six innings, giving up six hits, while striking out four and allowing no earned runs, despite two errors behind her in the field. The game was the second consecutive game for Kawa-
bata, as she had shutout Bishop Blanchet to get to the title game. The Rebels defeated Blanchet 3-0 as Kawabata struck out seven batters. Juanita is now 19-6 on the season and finished the regular season 12-2. The Rebels now move on to the state tournament to be held in Lacey next week, where they will be a No. 1 seed.

Kirkland woman with cerebral palsy will begin her 300-mile wheelchair odyssey in her hometown on June 8. Tania Finlayson plans to drive her electricmotor wheelchair from Kirkland to Spokane to raise money for people she says are less fortunate than her – those who are blind. Finlayson – with the support of Machinists Union District Lodge 751 in Seattle – has been collecting donations for Guide Dogs of America, a California-based charity that provides guide dogs and training free of charge to people who are blind or visually impaired from across the United States and Canada. Her goal is to raise $42,000, which is the cost of breeding, raising, training and pairing one guide dog with a blind person. She’s calling her effort the “Spokane Dash
for Puppy Cash.” As Finlayson heads across the Cascades, she’ll be in her wheelchair. She’ll be escorted by her family, in a motor home, and by Machinists Union volunteers in a brightly colored red and blue van. Her husband, Ken, will ride alongside much of the way on his bicycle. If all goes to plan, Finlayson will arrive in Spokane’s Riverfront Park on June 11. Finlayson’s journey started last year in Everett at the Flight for Sight fun run, one of several annual events sponsored by Machinists District 751 to raise money for Guide Dogs of America. District 751 is the top fundraiser in North America for the charity. Over the past four years, union volunteers have collected more than $1 million for Guide Dogs of America, including a record of $299,000 in 2012. Finlayson – who

You can follow her preparations on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SpokaneDash4PuppyCash communicates through a computer device she controls with her head using Morse code – said she tagged along to cheer on Ken, who works for the union as an information technology tech. Ken had been training for months to run the 10k portion of the Flight for Sight. On the way to Everett, Ken convinced his wife that she too should take part in the race. “As I was doing the race, I thought of how it would be if I was blind,” she said. Trying to drive a wheelchair without her vision “would be pretty scary.”
“Not to mention it would put limits on my independence and that would be something that I would just hate,” Finlayson said. “My independence is something that I treasure and value every day.” That experience got her thinking about what she could do to help Guide Dogs of America to help other people. When she first approached him with the idea for the Spokane Dash, “I thought she was crazy,” Ken said. “But, I mean, she’s come up with a lot of crazy things. We met skydiving.” “One thing I learned about Tania,” he continued, “is that it’s a lot more comfortable and safer to get behind her when she gets her mind on something, than get in front of her. Because if you get in front of her, she’ll probably just run you over.” “People say driving to Spokane is an amazing

presenting group, simply to get a message across.” Although Frost said it doesn’t appear students at LWHS have any issue with DUI’s, presenting the DUI simulation every other year does have an impact on students. Ashley Aldrich, a LWHS student who played the role of “drunk driver” said she’s anticipated being in the simulation for a while and was glad to be a part of the mock accident. “Getting to be able to be in it really gives you a hands-on experience,” said Aldrich. “It really could happen if you do drive drunk or under the influence of anything. It can have an affect on not only yourself but on people around you like friends and family and even people you don’t know.” As the presentation transitioned from a teen boy being “airlifted” to a hospital while Aldrich faked a drunken sobriety test, a man named George Fraser prepared to give a speech on his own experience with the horrors of a DUI accident. On Aug. 2, 2000, Fraser’s 19-year-old son Geoff went out at night to go to Gasworks Park from their home in Kent. But he never showed up. “My phone rang at 3:30

in the morning. It was Geoff ’s girlfriend Amy,” said Fraser, as he spoke to the LWHS students. “… She said please go downstairs to his room and make sure he didn’t come home.” After discovering his son was gone, Fraser called 911, who then directed him to Washington State Patrol. “I remember exactly where I was, I was sitting in a chair and I was rock-
ing in that chair. It wasn’t a rocking chair. I had the hand-held telephone up to my ear and I was praying to God someone was going to tell me what hospital to go to. That someone was gonna tell me what jail to

sion or drug addiction, there are common warning signs that friends and family should be aware of. According to Youth Eastside Services, warning signs of teen suicide include: •Increased use and abuse of alcohol and drugs •Giving away prized or valuable possessions •Sudden changes in behavior, including increased risk taking, severe withdrawal and avoidance of activities that had been enjoyed in the past •Altered eating and sleeping patterns •Subtle or obvious verbal threats such as, “I wish I was dead,” or “You’ll be sorry when I’m gone.” •Drawing or writing about death on book covers, in journals, etc. •Increased discouragement, depression, anxiety or anger Teenagers are often more aware of their friends’ suicidal thoughts or changes in their mood, Halela said, and that telling an adult could prevent the worst. “This is an issue that definitely warrants us raising our awareness of the issues of depression and how it impacts teens,” Halela said. “School personnel are really in-tune but we need the whole community to come together to have awareness of teen depression and suicide so that we can appropriately respond.” For those at imminent risk, call 911 or the National Hopeline Network at 1-800-784-2433 or contact YES at 425-7474937 for an appointment or visit www.youtheastsideservices.org.

running out of money. Health disruption is especially worrisome because it’s unpredictable, can be very expensive and can force people to retire earlier than they had planned or were ready to because of disabilities, says Dr. Ken Dychtwald, a gerontologist and bestselling book author who took part in conducting the survey. The good news is that baby boomer retirees have more and better tools at their disposal to improve their health and age better than any of their prede-
cessors. The key word is prevention. Just as important as putting money aside for a rainy day is to take care of one’s health by eating right, exercising, staying within a healthy weight range and keeping the mind sharp. For this, it is never too soon or too late to start. Undoubtedly, baby boomers are about to face many unprecedented challenges as they approach retirement in great numbers. But they are also well equipped to handle them with the same adventurous and pioneering spirit
that got them through life so far.

When Merrill Lynch, a wealth management company, asked in a recent survey (http://wealthmanagement.ml.com/wm/Pages/ Age-wave-Survey.aspx) thousands of Americans age 45 and older about their perspectives on retirement, the prospect of serious health problems topped the list of worries, followed by becoming a burden on loved ones and

are also reported to suffer more from mental illness and alcohol and drug addiction than their parents did. In other words, baby boomers appear to be heading for retirement in worse shape than those born before World War II. According to a report by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private nonprofit research organization specializing in economic studies, some of the lifestyle choices of this generation are resulting in “hazardous trends” in terms of health and aging. Especially the drastic increase in weight problems and obesity over the last few decades raise serious concerns about the future health and physical functioning of aging baby boomers, the report concludes. At the same time, a large percentage is woefully unprepared for retirement in terms of finances and coverage of their health care needs. Nearly 90 percent are not sure they will have enough money to live out their years in comfort and financial security. About 44 percent have little or no faith that they can sustain themselves without outside help, and 25 percent don’t think they will ever be able to retire, according to a survey by the Associ-
HEALTHY LIVING
Baby Boomers – those born between 1946 through 1964 – will live longer than any other generation before them, but they will not necessarily be healthier. In fact, many are already burdened with more chronic illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes than their parents and grandparents were. Most of these health problems are lifestylerelated and could be prevented through changes in diet, exercise and weight management, but for some reason these messages seem hard to get across. A recent study conducted by the West Virginia University School of Medicine found that despite better education and greater awareness in health matters as well as advancements in medicine, baby boomers will likely face more sickness in their twilight years than generations before them. The study found that the number of boomers who have high cholesterol has more than doubled compared to the previous generation. Nearly 40 percent are obese, an increase of over 10 percent in just 12 years. Fewer than half exercise regularly, and a rapidly growing number can’t walk without using a cane or a walker. Boomers

It’s All About
SERVICE
Fast. Professional. Friendly. Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating
Q
“How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?” :
A
: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.
plumbing services do you offer? And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :
A
: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-
ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.
Q “Do you guarantee your services?” A :
: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.
Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :
A
: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time. It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.
an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :
A
: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.
James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service. He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years. - Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.

Firefighters respond to fire, explosion

By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Firefighters responded to a residential fire in the Juanita neighborhood on May 14 after hearing reports of explosions. The fire appeared to have started in a backyard shed, which spread to nearby trees and a fence around 4:50 p.m., accord-
ing to battalion chief Greg Picinich with the Kirkland Fire Department. No injuries were reported. Picinich confirmed there were reports of loud explosions; however, there were no explosions when firefighters arrived at the 14200 block of 100th Avenue Northeast, the
location of the scene. One witness said on the Kirkland Reporter’s Facebook page that he heard a boom that was “loud enough to feel the concussion from that blast two blocks away.” And that a pillar of dark smoke could be seen rising from the location. The same witness also
reported seeing multiple emergency vehicles arrive at the location. “When I drove by at 7:30 p.m., two ambulances and multiple police vehicles were still at the scene,” the witness said. Picinich said the cause of the fire and explosions are still under investigation.
strating that its specialized stroke care meets critical elements of performance to achieve long-term success in improving outcomes for stroke patients. The Joint Commission’s Primary Stroke Center Certification program, developed in collaboration with the American Stroke Association, is based on the Brain Attack Coalition’s “Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers.” Certification is available only to stroke programs in Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospitals. The Inpatient Diabetes Program has been certified since December 2011, in recognition of exemplary standards for healthcare quality and safety within EvergreenHealth’s diabetes education and nutrition services. The Joint Commis-
sion’s Advanced Certification for Inpatient Diabetes Care provides standards related to staff education, written blood glucose monitoring protocols, plans for the treatment of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, data collection of incidences of hypoglycemia and patient education. “These certifications from The Joint Commission underscore our commitment to developing practices and programs that yield positive outcomes in a setting that holds absolute safety and the patient experience in the highest regard,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “We congratulate these two programs for their well-deserved recognition in this area.” Joint Commission experts evaluated EvergreenHealth for compliance with the
requirements for The Joint Commission’s DiseaseSpecific Care Certification program, as well as inpatient diabetes care-specific standards, clinical practice guidelines and performance measures. “Certification is a voluntary process,” said Jean Range, M.S., R.N., C.P.H.Q., executive director, DiseaseSpecific Care Certification, The Joint Commission. “I commend EvergreenHealth for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves.” EvergreenHealth will continue to display The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval, helping patients identify EvergreenHealth as a facility of quality that has surpassed goals in the treatment of stroke and diabetes.
Evergreen certification for stroke and diabetes programs EvergreenHealth has maintained two prestigious advanced certifications from The Joint Commission, for both its inpatient diabetes care and its primary stroke center, following reviews in April. Achieving these certifications signifies EvergreenHealth’s dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission’s stateof-the-art standards, and to fostering better outcomes for patients. The Primary Stroke Center has maintained its advanced certification since November 2007, demon-

Looking for a feline companion for your family? Here’s an offer you can’t refuse: “Housecats are on the House” for two days only! Bring your whole family to adopt a kitty from Homeward Pet Adoption Center and we will waive the adoption fee for cats two years or older. Adult cats make great companions for all ages and are excellent for families with children. Homeward Pet’s adoption process is easy and worry-free since all of their adoptable cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. The event runs from 12-6 p.m. June 1-2 at Homeward Pet. 13132 N.E. 177th Pl., Woodinville. At Homeward Pet, skilled adoption counselors are ready to give you personal, one on one attention to help you find the best cat for you, one that will become a lifelong member of the family. Adoptions include a copy of the cat
behavior book, “Think Like A Cat”, by Pam JohnsonBennett and a pet carrier. June is Adopt-a-Shelter Cat Month, adopting a spayed or neutered animal helps reduce overpopulation and saves one more cat from being homeless. Homeward Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, no-kill shelter serving the Greater Seattle area since 1990. The organization gives homeless animals a second chance and have matched over 23,000 companion animals with loving, safe, forever families. Forty percent of the animals at Homeward Pet are surrendered by their former owners; the other 60 percent are rescued from shelters that are often forced to euthanize. While the animals in our shelter wait to be adopted, more than 400 volunteers make sure their basic needs are met and give them plenty of love and attention. For some of our animals, that is more than they have ever known. Visit www.homewardpet. org/catProc.html to learn more about our adoption process and see the available cats.
