F Former Lake Washington boys basketball head coach Barry Johnson pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to sexually harassing a female student.

ormer Lake Washington boys basketball coach and instructional assistant Barry Johnson was placed on administrative leave in December despite the team’s success on the court.

The coach never returned to the sidelines even though the Kangs played in the state tournament.

At the time, Lake Washington School District officials declined to comment on why

Johnson was placed on leave.

The coach resigned on March 13.

But according to the Kirkland Police Department, Johnson was charged April 3 with communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.

Johnson pleaded not guilty to the gross misdemeanor on Tuesday morning at the Kirkland Municipal Court.

Johnson is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on June 4.

Kirkland police submitted the criminal citation along with a probable cause affida-

vit on Jan. 13.

Johnson did not return phone calls from the Reporter.

According to the results of an internal investigation by the Lake Washington School District, obtained by the Reporter, a 17-year-old female Lake Washington High School student, who has not been identified, asked to be excused from class on Dec. 13, 2011. She wanted to alert a counselor that she believed she had been sexually harassed by Johnson, 38.

The counselor took the issue to associate principal Prato Barone, who talked with the student and subsequently placed Johnson on leave with pay later that day. Parents of Lake Washington basketball players were also notified that day of the change via email, but were not told why Johnson was on leave.

Investigators determined that Johnson’s conduct could reasonably be interpreted as grooming and that he intended to peruse a sexual [ more COACH page 7 ]

‘Pete’s Workshop’ visits Juanita Elementary for Earth Day

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

More than 30 hammers pounded away with youthful fervor Friday at the Juanita Elementary field house.

The incessant noise felt and sounded more like a freight train barreling through the open-air field house than a

school art project.

About 50 students at a time, out of the 400 kids who participated, took their turn creating a birdhouse with the help of 10 volunteers from the Bothell Home Depot, 25 or so parents and one special conductor.

“There is a lot of effort that goes into this one hour,” said

Pete Klinefelter, who has been running Pete’s Workshop on Saturday mornings at the Bothell Home Depot for over a decade. “They select the nails, glue or whatever they need. It pulls the creativity out of the kids. It is just fun.”

Klinefelter – with a short white beard reminiscent of Santa in summer and

wearing a painted white lab coat, giant tie, leather hat and goggles with a fake eyeball hanging off the lens to emphasize safety first – got the kids started by telling them about the project.

The free class at Home Depot teaches kids how to build small wood projects, [ more PETE page 2 ]

“I built a boat when I was 13 and went out on Lake Washington,” said Klinefelter. “It sunk pretty fast because I used the wrong glue. But you have to try things.”

Klinefelter, who worked construction for 50 years, loves to work with kids.

“I was a Seafair clown in 1957,” said Klinefelter, who drives 45 minutes from Index to the Home Depot to volunteer to lead the class. “I learned how to be a clown from JP Patches.”

Klinefelter’s loyalty is returned by his students, including one girl who has been attending the Home Depot class for five years.

The idea to bring the class to the school came from two of Klinefelter’s loyal students - Juanita Elementary students Kaizen Mouw and Hannah Schleer.

Klinefelter said that when he retired his wife told him to find something to do.

“The schools are cutting down so much. There is so much out there to do and no one is doing it. I love it.”

And if the wide smiles and pride on on the kids faces are any indication, Klinefelter’s job is secure.

Former Kirkland resident sentenced for embezzling from Ronald McDonald House charity A former Kirkland resident was sentenced Monday in Seattle’s U.S. District Court for embezzling more than $112,000 from Kirklandbased charity Ronald McDonald Holiday Cruise (RMHHC).

Randall Morrison, 50, who now resides in Tallahassee, Fla., is the former treasurer of the non-profit organization, which solicits volunteers and charitable donations for the Ronald McDonald House, and organizes activities, gatherings, and events throughout the year for medically fragile children and their families. Morrison embezzled $112,000 from the organization between 2006-2009 In addition to prison time, U.S. District Judge James L. Robart also sentenced Morrison to three years of super-

vised release and $112,220 in restitution for wire fraud.

The concerns emerged from a financial saga that dates to 2009 and resulted in a federal grand-jury indictment being issued Aug. 25 against Morrison. The indictment accuses him of two counts of wire fraud relating to his work as treasurer of the RMH Holiday Cruise, which was started in 1982 and operates with a volunteer staff from Juanita.

According to case records, Morrison was hired as the treasurer for RMHHC in 2005. In August 2006, he moved to Ohio, but remained as the treasurer for RMHHC, making his reports to the non-profit’s board by email and telephone.

Beginning in September 2006, Morrison began writing checks and wiring funds from the RMHHC accounts Bond, who lives in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood, and Republican Joel Hussey, of Redmond.

Goodman said he looks forward to expanding his legislative work to “build

that appeared to be for the legitimate business of RMHHC, but were in actuality diverting charitable funds for Morrison’s personal uses.

Morrison concealed the thefts by falsifying reports that he emailed to the RMHHC board in Kirkland.

RMHCC was first alerted to the theft in early 2009, when Morrison’s employer in Ohio contacted RMHHC, because of suspected embezzlement at that company. Morrison was terminated from both the Ohio employer and RMHHC in early 2009.

LWSD needs new policy to inform parents of sexual misconduct

T

he Lake Washington School District acted quickly when a Lake Washington High School student alleged that Kangs basketball coach Barry Johnson sexually harassed her late last year.

The female student accused Johnson, 38, of sexual harassment on Dec. 13, 2011; the district placed the coach on administrative leave the same day, in accordance with the LWSD’s sexual harassment policy.

An April 14 Seattle Times article lauded the district for following its procedures: “The (case shows) that despite high-profile cases that could be viewed as procedural failures, such as the case at Penn State involving former football coach Jerry Sandusky, the system can be effective when alleged abuse occurs.”

We commend the district for doing what it was supposed to do, placing the coach on administrative leave and protecting students.

However, that is not enough.

Most parents are just learning about the incident through the media – four months after the student brought forth these allegations. Why didn’t the LWSD inform parents about the alleged misconduct as soon as the district placed the coach on administrative leave?

According to Kathryn Reith, LWSD communications director, the district essentially did.

In a vague email, and one that was hardly cause for concern, the school’s athletic director notified basketball parents on Dec. 14, a day after the incident: “Currently, Barry Johnson is on leave of absence from his assignments at LWHS.” The email emphasized the upcoming holiday basketball tournament over winter break, asking parents to contact the director with questions concerning the trip to San Diego.

Reith said the district also included in a recent board agenda that Johnson resigned on March 13.

Parents have the right to know the circumstances surrounding such cases of misconduct that may involve their children. The LWSD should inform all parents of any alleged sexual misconduct immediately.

The district has policies to remove a staff member when an allegation is raised, but there are no policies in place to notify parents in the community.

So why not adopt a new policy?

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) recently did after outraged parents criticized the district for giving them no explanation when it pulled teacher Mark Berndt from class at Miramonte Elementary in early 2011, according to the Los Angeles Times.

A year later, the teacher was charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct, including allegations that he spoon-fed semen to blindfolded students.

Before Berndt’s arrest, LAUSD limited the release of information, saying they didn’t want to risk compromising the investigation, said the Los Angeles Times report.

Parents criticized the district for not informing them, saying it created the impression that LAUSD was deliberately withholding information.

In response, the LAUSD adopted a new mandate a few weeks ago that schools notify parents within 72 hours if a teacher is removed from a classroom for allegations of sexual misconduct with

students.

Under the mandate, parents won’t be informed of the teacher’s name, grade level or other identifying information, to protect the presumption of innocence.

It’s an appropriate mandate, and one that the LWSD should adopt.

Not releasing such information causes public mistrust. Parents and the community want to hear the information from the school district, not just the media.

And they have the right to. This would also give other potential victims the opportunity to come forward as well.

The LWHS student who alleged that Johnson sexually harassed her feels the same. In an email she sent out on March 3 informing the school community about what allegedly happened to her, she wrote: “… Anyone who wants to read (this) can and I’d encourage you to if you’re interested because I feel like every person at school has some sort of right to know what’s going on around them and why.”It takes some courage for a victim to come forth and go so far as to broadcast to the school community what allegedly happened to him or her. So what’s holding the school district back?

Thankful for the man in the green truck The man in the green truck comes by our place every Thursday morning at the Springtree Condominiums by Juanita Village. You can hear him coming a few houses away. When that happens the ritual begins. Iraina (my 2-year-old daughter) quickly grabs her shoes and jacket waiting for mommy or daddy to take her outside and sit on the porch.

As the green truck approaches the man gives a wave and a smile. Just before he pulls away he gives another wave and a smile. This past Christmas Iraina gave him a Christmas card. The smile was even bigger and the connection between the man in the green truck and Iraina grew. Today the man in the green truck stopped and walked up to Iraina and her mommy sitting on the porch. He spoke for the

first time and said today was his last day. He has been on this route for 15 years and said he had brought three suckers with him today for three families and this was his last one and handed it to Iraina.

Mommy and daddy were amazed to think how much just a wave and a smile had meant to Iraina. There was even a tear in Iraina’s daddy’s eye. As mommy and daddy watched Iraina they realized life is just beginning in so many ways. I wonder what the other two families felt that day.

Wonderful leadership Dag nab it! Route 9 going to Snohomish is pretty much a parking lot in the afternoon through evening.

Double dag nab it! Route 405 going anywhere in the afternoon is so slow, even the state police seem to avoid it

at that time of day. Why, if it wasn’t for the “old people’s lane” I don’t think my wife and I would go anywhere. I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am that they’re replacing the old Renton through Snohomish rail bed with a hiking/bicycling trial. Dag nab it! We certainly have wonderful political leaders!

Trash throughout parks needs an Earth Day clean-up Today I went for a walk in the beautiful afternoon warmth we experienced. Strolled down from the newly annexed North Juanita neighborhood. First stop was the newly refurbished Juanita Beach Park. Looks nice and I am sure once the spring blooms turn to full foliage it will be a beautiful refuge; as it is, I liked what

I saw. I continued over to Juanita Bay Park. Watched the turtles for a while and then took a journey toward town along the back roads. Throughout my trip I kept noticing trash everywhere I went. Nothing exceptionally bad aside from the half-sheet or less of plywood out along the pier at Juanita beach.

Looks like it’s been there a while.

However, on my way back down the Old Market Street Trail I decided to walk along the boardwalk on the right side away from the bay. Here is where I took wonderful photos of the incredible wildlife that is so abundant back here. Is there a reason there is so much of this here? I haven’t done this walk in a few years. It wasn’t like this back then. There was some actual wildlife back here as well. Personally, I don’t think they approve of this behavior. Maybe you can get something going with the Parks Department to organize a clean up day?

‘Cash mob’ shows support for small downtown business

BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

Bruce Wynn threw the strap of his new all-purpose utility bag over his shoulder.

The executive director of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce was the first customer at the register at Simplicity Decor as a “cash mob,” assembled under his leadership, descended on the small Park Lane business in downtown Kirkland on April 11.

As the new executive director, Wynn is putting his money where his mouth is. He called for a cash mob at the business on Wednesday as an effort to support local small businesses.

A cash mob event is mirrored after flash mobs, where people show up at the same location to do a choreographed dance. With cash mobs, the group shows en masse at a particular business to shop.

Summit Vitality now open Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and Bruce Wynn, executive director of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, welcomed Dr. Lexi Lain to Kirkland during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Summit Vitality on April 11.

It was the first cash mob of more to come, said Wynn.

Chamber members were asked to show up at Simplicity Decor at noon ready to spend at least $10.

“I’m not much of a shopper,” said Wynn, showing off his new green bag – a $59.95 purchase. However, he said, the event was a good way for him to visit a small business like Simplicity Decor to see what they have to offer.

“That’s a challenge for a lot of small businesses,” said Wynn, adding that with these types of events, people can see what businesses have to offer “and then they become regular customers.”

Throughout the afternoon, Chamber members - such as Ruthie Smith, retail banking manager of Opus Bank, and Lake Street Diamonds owner Vince Issacson -browsed through the various home and office furnishings and decorations at Simplicity Decor.

Store owner A. Suraphong said

Dr. Lain, who owns Summit Vitality, is a naturopathic physician who graduated from Bastyr University in June 2011. Her goal with every patient is to create a healing space that will instill hope and inspiration for you to feel better, have more energy, and be excited about life.

CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter he just heard about the event on Wednesday morning and posted an announcement on his Facebook. His business did around 20 sales because of the cash mob event.

“I am so appreciative,” said Suraphong, who is a Chamber Board member. “That’s about 20 people more than we would have had if we didn’t have the cash mob. I really ap-

She began the email by stating that she would not make any false accusations and understood the magnitude of her accusations.

“Things like this could potentially ruin someone’s career. Their life,” the student wrote.

The student said she told Johnson to stop his behavior to no avail.

“Barry sexually harassed me. He made me uncomfortable. He made me dread coming to fourth period. It sucked. Well no, it more than sucked,” the student wrote.

“It made me feel skeevy and icky. All I wanted after I left was a shower. I don’t think people realize that it doesn’t stop after you leave. It is always there, in the back of your mind, making you feel sick and slutty and stupid and guilty.”

She goes on to say that she

became “frightened” of him.

“Frightened that maybe it would become more than comments, talk and invading questions,” she wrote.

She explained that she felt like people were blaming her for Johnson’s dismissal and apologized to the basketball team.

The LWSD gave Johnson the opportunity to resign from the coaching position via email on Feb. 27. Johnson, who is married and has children, officially resigned on March 13.

“Words do not adequately express the pain this situation has caused me and my family,” wrote Johnson in his resignation to the LWSD. “I am making the choice to move forward with my life and to find a new way to support my family. I realize that if I were to fully challenge these allegations and win, I would never feel comfortable at Lake Washington High School again.”

where he allegedly commented on the female student’s appearance, attempted to grab her hand, asked her if she was afraid of him and what her favorite drugs were. The female student told investigators the alleged conversation made her feel harassed and afraid.

A friend of the female student told police that “she decided to report (what was going on) after Barry asked, ‘are you afraid of me?’” The question alerted the alleged victim that Johnson knew what he was doing was wrong, according to the friend’s statement.

That same friend told police that Johnson’s hand was also seen brushing against the student’s breast. Johnson said that he apologized to the victim and that it was inadvertent.

The report also states that Johnson discussed his own drug use with students.

The female student sent out an email to Lake Wash-

On Dec. 12, Johnson “friended” the female student on Facebook. That night the teacher engaged in a texting conversation from his “Kanghoops” Facebook page where he allegedly asked for her phone number, asked personal questions and what it would take to become one of her “besties” or best friends, the investigation continued. The conversation also referenced the drug Ketamin, a horse tranquilizer.

Johnson does not dispute the conversation, according to the investigation. The Facebook page and “friendship” with many students in social media directly violates the district’s policies. Johnson told investigators that he created the page to encourage support for the team and was trying to help students with drug and alcohol problems.

One student defended Johnson in a statement to police, saying he thought both the female student and Johnson “just took it too far.”

He also told investigators that Johnson “helped him stay clean.”

Johnson and the female student had a conversation the next day in the cafeteria

relationship with the female student.

According to the investigation, the incidents began in September 2011 when Johnson gave the female student a hug, which Johnson has admitted to but different witnesses have given contradictory accounts.

The inappropriate interaction between the two began to take a more dramatic turn when Johnson allegedly began to ask the student about her personal life.

Johnson was also found to have acted in direct conflict with the district’s personal conduct policies in other situations.

During a 2010-2011 evaluation, the district warned Johnson about maintaining professional boundaries with students after administrators voiced concern about his interactions with female students. But in the actual evaluation Johnson was given a grade of “satisfactory” in the student relations category.

The only unsatisfactory marks Johnson received were in punctuality and quality of work, but he showed improvement from his prior evaluation.

He also allegedly made comments during the 20092010 volleyball season to another coach about female student-athletes.

In another incident last fall, Johnson admitted to calling the female student a slut in front of another LWHS employee and told investigators that he apologized for the comment, according to the district’s investigation.

In December 2011 Johnson allegedly used the word “Sandusky” as a euphemism to describe sexual acts between two men, referring to the scandal involving Penn State University former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. He allegedly told a male student, while looking at the alleged 17-year-old victim, that those acts were okay if it was a 16- or 17-year-old female student because she would know what she was doing, according to LWSD documents.

And the issues with the female student are at the heart of the investigation.

Johnson purposefully sat closer to the alleged victim, in the back row, during the fourth-period class in which he was an instructional assistant. Many of the students in the class have corroborated this allegation.

“I would guess that Barry spends about 80 percent of his time in class with (the female student),” one witness told police. “As far as I know Barry is not assigned to one particular student or table.”

But the investigation alleges that Johnson would interact with the female student in a “flirtatious” manner.

He even resorted to pulling the girl’s hair, purposefully bumped her chair if she was ignoring him and would make sure their feet would touch. He allegedly asked the student, “Why don’t you like that? When a guy likes a girl, he picks on them,” the documents continue.

Johnson admitted to asking the female student about her breakup with her boyfriend over text message during class on Nov. 10. Johnson said the female student initiated a discussion a few days later about her sexual preferences. The girl told investigators that Johnson initiated the inappropriate discussion before class.

During the conversation, Johnson allegedly asked the student inappropriate questions in which the student responded, according to LWSD documents.

In another instance, Johnson allegedly asked the victim inappropriate questions, including if she would have sex with someone his age or if she was a virgin.

How to find the best products for your pet

W

hen Kirkland residents Chuck and Marti Bartlett opened Dooley’s Dog House seven years ago they had several goals for their business: to provide high quality food, treats and supplements for dogs and cats, to provide excellent customer service and expertise regarding the nutritional needs of their customer’s pets, to work closely with local animal shelters to facilitate adoptions for rescued cats and dogs, and to become a community hub for animal lovers.

Chuck continuously researches the ingredients and sources for all food, treats and supplements sold at Dooley’s.

He drops items that don’t continue to meet his high standards and replaces them with better products that become available.

You can count on good service from attentive and knowledgeable people when you shop at Dooley’s. They seek to understand the needs of your pet and to provide the right food, treat or supplement to insure a healthy and happy cat or dog.

While good nutrition is top priority, Dooley’s also carries great toys, bowls, beds and leashes to meet your pet’s

other needs.

And if you bring your dog into the store, they can always count on some ear scratches and treats!

Many neighborhood dogs stop by regularly for some of this customer service while out on “walkies” with their humans!

Their humans also like to stop by just to chat about their pets, community events or politics. There are always chocolate treats available for the humans!

Dooley’s always has cats in the store for adoption from both Purrfect Pals and Pasado’s Safe Haven. They generally allow the cats to roam free in the store so they can observe how well they get along with other cats, dogs and children so good adoptive matches can be made.

The wall behind the counter is filled with photos of happy adoptions! They also hold many adoption events with local rescue organizations that bring dogs or cats for these one-day events.

Dooley’s also holds an annual “Happy! Healthy! Parking Lot Pet Fair” (this year: Saturday, May 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) that features a variety of rescue organizations with cats and dogs for

Each summer Dooley’s partners with The Grape Choice to hold an auction/ wine tasting event to raise money for animal rescue groups as well as for Kirkland’s off-leash dog park.

In the winter, they sponsor Pet Photos with Santa to benefit rescue groups. Chuck appears as Father Christmas

or Hawaiian Santa and uses all his skills as an animal whisperer to get the best photo!

And every few months Dooley’s holds a Yappy Hour complete with beverages, appetizers and “puppetizers” to raise money for rescue groups.

All of the merchandise racks are pushed back to make room for the socializing of dogs and people.

HOW TO GUIDE 2012

How to choose a certified arborist boriculture, Deutsch became an ISA Certified Arborist in 1999, and a Certified Hazardous Tree Risk Assessor in 2009.

He has been the owner/ manager of tree service companies since 1997. His company, Certified Arborist Tree Care LLC, serving the Eastside of Seattle, allows him to share his knowledge and skills with his community and contribute to improving our urban trees.

Trees have a great impact on improving the aesthetic environment and are a major factor as to where we chose to live. Here are some other benefits of trees:

Trees combat the greenhouse effect Global warming is the result of excess greenhouse gases, created by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rainforests. Heat from the sun, reflected back from the earth, is trapped in this thickening layer of gases, causing global temperatures to rise. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas. Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing the oxygen back into the air. In

one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.

Trees clean the air Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.

Trees conserve energy Three trees placed strategically around a single-family home can cut summer air conditioning needs by up to 50 percent. By reducing the energy demand for cooling our houses, we reduce carbon dioxide and other pollution emissions from power plants.

Trees save water Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.

Contact Certified Arborist Tree Care, LLC at www.certifiedarboristtreecare.com/ or call 425-739-6730.

C

ertified Arborist Tree Care, LLC’s mission is to protect both urban and rural, by providing professional arborist services for new and established trees.

The Kirkland company is not a tree removal company.

They are a team that is truly passionate about the health and safety of your trees.

Caring for our environment stems from a deep knowledge of trees. How they work, what keeps them healthy, and knowing when to remove a hazardous tree is all part of the company’s training.

Safety and customer service are Certified Arborist Tree Care’s number one priorities. This is why they are proud to say that in 14 years of business, they have never had a significant accident with any job.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Certified Arborist Tree Care owner John Deutsch has always had a keen interest in trees. His involvement in real estate development and house construction during the last 30 years has made him acutely aware of the importance of trees in urban environments.

To increase his knowledge and develop his skills in ar-

Discussing retirement and assisted living

A

s many seniors approach retirement and the decision to move into an assisted living facility, they say, “I sure have a lot to think about.” The reality is that many seniors are really not thinking, they are worrying. They are trying to anticipate what could go wrong. It is important that they ask questions. What do I need? Should I be close to my family? Will I have room for my hobby?

Can I bring my pet? What can I afford? These are all good questions that once answered can help ease your loved one’s fears.

It’s My Parents’ Decision The truth is, sometimes it is just too big of a decision for your parents to make without your assistance. It is touching when family members want to respect their parent’s dignity, but few seniors come to their children and say, “I’m ready to move.” It is supportive if family members drive the process, but respectable to include their parents in every step. In some cases, the senior is not capable of making this decision due to memory loss, and asking them to do so can cause frustration and anger. Some loved ones feel relief when you offer a solution to issues that are burdening them.

Independence Run Amuck Your family and ours.

Many seniors are moving from homes they’ve lived in for many years. In their minds, the only responsible thing to do is to go through everything by themselves, to get their house in order before they move. Another approach, if the resources are available, is to make the move first. Find the apartment that is the right fit for them. Only move in those things that are essentials, the things that make a house a home. Then, you and your senior

parent can spend time at the house conveniently sorting through their items. Each evening your senior can come home to their new clean apartment, without being overwhelmed.

Things Over Well-being Seniors can become overwhelmed by an attachment to their things. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of them losing a sense of their well-being. The attachments can be to things they have collected over the years or gifts given to them. Be aware that special actions may need to be taken, so your senior can let go of some of the extra stuff. For example, imagine how wonderful a gifting party would be! Mom or dad would have the joy of giving important treasures to family members.

Waiting for the Perfect Time The perfect time for going through change is when someone feels good, has support, and has a positive expectation for the future. In many cases family members wait until a crisis to approach this discussion. Whether it’s a fall or a hospitalization due to an accident, they find themselves being managed by the crisis, instead of them managing the situation.

Permission!

This generation of seniors has known sacrifice, and saving their whole lives. Yet, depression, loneliness and boredom are major threats to seniors’ health. Many seniors need their family’s blessing to make a change. The best gift a senior can give a family is to let them know they are happy, safe, and enjoying the last chapters of their life.

Both types of responses lead to increased intestinal inflammation, damage, and permeability, leading to leaky gut syndrome.

What is leaky gut syndrome you ask?

Leaky gut syndrome is when the intestinal lining is more permeable or porous than it should be.

When the intestine is constantly offended by foods that are irritating, it begins to produce mucous to protect itself.

This protective mechanism is also the leading cause of the damage. The increased mucous results in not only decreased nutrient absorption and malnutrition but inflammation as well.

It is this inflammation that breaks down the barrier between intestinal cells, allowing particles that are too large and not properly processed to enter the blood stream.

This is when food reactions occur; either the immune system mounts a response, or the intestines respond to the irritation.

As you can see, the cyclical relationship [ more GUT page 13 ]

Food intolerances occur when there are lack of enzymes to digest food or food irritates the digestive system, which then causes an intestinal response.

When a food eaten irritates the intestinal lining, the resulting symptoms include nausea, stomach pain, heartburn, cramping, gas, headaches, irritability/ nervousness, diarrhea and vomiting.

Rebels defeat Kangs in head-to-head track battle

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Kang Dance Team beats long-time state champions When the Lake Washington Dance Team recently assembled onto the court in the Yakima Valley Sun Dome for the state competition, the girls had every intention of bringing home a trophy, and they did just that.

Wowing the judges with an intricate routine that they had been preparing for 11 months, the team brought home a second place trophy in the kick category, one of the three scored areas they competed in.

But what made the win even sweeter for the Lake Washington athletes was that they beat out Hanford High School, the state champions in kick for nine years.

Ever since the dance

program at Lake Washington sprouted into that of a competitive, title-winning one five years ago, the team has been a force to be reckoned with.

Ranking within the top three every year following 2007, the team flourished this year, competing against more competitive schools in more difficult categories.

“It’s a lot harder for teams to get to state now,” said Coach Lindsey Beck, who also participated on the Lake Washington Dance team during her high school years.

Even with the increased bar, Beck was not only determined to get her team to state, but was determined to shine at the competition.

“We had been preparing for the state competition since tryouts last May” said Michelle Murakami, a senior

captain on the team.

Senior captain Molly Shipman said the team practiced over 24 hours per week, meeting six days a week for a month before the competition.

And all the hard work paid off.

The Lake Washington team members won more than just a trophy and a title.

As Beck describes, “the whole team found the true meaning of what being a team means.”

“This season has been truly incredible and it is really exciting to see how everyone has grown as dancers,” added Laura Duncan.

An exciting future awaits the Lake Washington Dance Team, especially as they add freshmen to their ranks next year.

Sydney Gildersleeve took second in the discus against the Islanders and Kangs. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter the meet separated by just a few tenths of a second in their best runs of the year.

The Rebels got the best of the head-to-head race with a time of 43.30 seconds to the Islander’s 44.20.

Murphy, Martin, Marshall and Alex Wallin earned a victory in the 800-meter relay with a time of 3:39.50 for the Rebels. Lake Washington’s Michael Smith, Kenyon Butler, Sean Whaley and Blake Owen finished second (3:45.20) during the race.

Lake Washington had a good day in the running events led by Butler with victories in the 200 meters (22.90) and 400 meters (51.60 meters).

“I am working on form and conditioning mostly,” said Butler, who downplayed the cross-town rivalry. “We come (to Juanita High School) a lot. We just want to run hard and that is that.”

The Rebels’ depth played a big part as Matt Nilson took first in the shot put (44-feet, 8-inches) and the discus (111-feet, 8-inches), while Murphy took first in the high jump (six-feet) for the Rebels. Wallin won the triple jump with a distance of 40-feet, 6.5-inches) and the 110-meter hurdles (15.80 seconds), while Marshall won the 100 meters [ more TRACK page 15 ]

Juanita hosted Lake Washington and Mercer Island Thursday for a KingCo meet and the friendly crosstown rivalry added a little more to some of the athlete’s competitive spirits.

“It is always fun to be able to compete against your cross town rival, but when it comes to track and field, it is less of a rival and more of a friendly get together,” said Rebels coach Neil Kells. “... A lot of the athletes from both schools know each other and have fun competing.”

Juanita defeated Lake Washington 104-41 in the boys competition and 93-53 in the girls team scoring.

The Rebels also beat the Islanders in both the boys (90-55) and girls (81-68) competitions, while Mercer Island held off the Kangs (boys 79-66, girls 95.5-52.5).

The Juanita boys had 10 first-place finishes, while Lake Washington had four.

One of the biggest events of the day pit Juanita’s 400-meter relay team of Travis Marshall, Alec Martin, Kendrick Murphy and Besser Rios against Mercer Island.

Girls results Rebel Mikayla Jones helped Juanita to four of the teams nine first-place finishes. Jones, Kaila Bass, Kathryn Wuchter and Regi Lammers took first in the 800-meter relay (1:49.70) and the 400-meter relay (51.30). Lammers, Molly Grager, Bass and Jones also took first in the 1,600-meter relay (4:26.40). Jones won the triple jump with a distance of 34-feet, 9-inches.

Rebel Lilja Jonsson won the long jump with a distance of 14-feet, 11.25-inches and the pole vault with 8-feet, 6-inches.

Alanna Coker raced to a 200-meter win in 25.10 seconds and the 100 meters (12.20).

Grager took first in the high jump (5-feet, 2-inches), while teammate Kate Cryderman won the shot put with 33-feet, 5.25-inches.

“We are really critiquing our technique,” said Cryderman. “Just trying to make sure the run through is good.”

Cryderman said her goal is to place at state in two or three events this year and to help her team win KingCo. Cryderman said facing Lake Washington adds a bit more competition to the meet.

“Everyone is a little more focused,” said Cryderman, who will play basketball in college.

Sophomore Sydney Gildersleeve stepped up for Juanita, taking second to an Islander senior in the discus with a personal best distance of 79-feet, 11-inches after Cryderman defaulted.

“We are doing well today. Everyone is getting (personal records),” said Gildersleeve. “We are all just trying to get better.”

Anneke Kniestedt was the only Lake Washington female to take first place during the meet, winning the 400 meters with a time of 1:02.50.
