Garbage strike taking its toll on Kirkland residents

Congressional debate dominated by five democrat candidates

Waste Management hires replacement drivers

ust behind Hector’s, the popular restaurant on South Lake Street in downtown Kirkland, dumpsters stood packed to the brim Monday morning.

Recyclable cardboard filled the crevices in between and behind the green cast-iron bins as the strike by Waste Management truck drivers continued into its sixth day.

That strike has now surpassed a week.

Substitute drivers were brought in this week to help combat the food and yard waste, garbage and recyclables that have accumulated.

Waste Management plans to hire permanent replacement drivers, which the union says

is illegal. Residential pickup took place for the first time on Wednesday. But restaurants, who typically receive pick ups multiple times a week, were still left with some trash.

“The city has been very helpful, but (Waste Management) couldn’t get all of our stuff,” said Dave Plumb, Director of Operations for the Hector’s and Milagro Cantina property. He said the substitute drivers were able to empty two of the four dumpsters and that recyclable items were not the highest priority.

The biggest concern has been maintaining garbage control among hospitals, nursing homes and day cares.

National Night Out brings neighbors, police together

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Police officers cannot be everywhere. One of the biggest weapons that law enforcement has in the community is an active citizenry.

That is the main reason behind the 29th annual National Night Out events that will take place on Aug. 7 in Kirkland and around the country.

“The event is to make an impression on criminals as far as neighborhoods taking a stand against crime,” said Kirkland Neighborhood Resource Officer Audra Weber.

National Night Out is a nationwide campaign aimed at involving communities in crime and drug prevention awareness.

Activities that neighborhoods may want to host include cookouts, flashlight walks or contests.

Weber said that the events work as an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other.

“Being able to have contact with your neighbors is good,” said Weber.

“People get wrapped up in their own lives. But (Kirkland residents) are the eyes and ears of the police [ more POLICE page 9 ]

Six of the seven candidates in the 1st Congressional District race faced off in a debate at the Microsoft, Corp. campus in Redmond on July 25.

Democrats Darcy Burner, Suzan DelBene, Steve Hobbs, Darshan Rauniyar and Laura Ruderman and Republican John Koster participated in the debate, which was presented by Seattle City Club and Microsoft. The race’s seventh candidate is Independent and Redmond resident Larry Ishmael, who did not attend the debate.

The debate was moderated by Joni Balter, an editorial writer from the Seattle Times, who questioned the candidates on various topics including the issue they are most concerned about and would want to address if elected.

Burner said she wants to bring democracy back to the people.

“If there is one thing that I would like to be identified with, it’s this idea that we need to restore government of, by and for the people — not government of, bought and paid for by large corporations and multimillionaires,” she said.

DelBene said she wants to stand up for the middle class and get the economy moving again. She touched on her family’s experience with unemployment, explaining how they moved around the country after her father lost his job and how her parents moved in with her after she finished college because they didn’t have another place to go.

DelBene also stressed the importance of education and how that led to a career where she could take care [ more DEBATE page 2 ]

“That’s what everyone wants and that’s what everyone’s struggling for right now,” she said. “And I’m not sure if I were growing up now I could tell that same story.”

Hobbs said he wants to bring civility back into politics because the country and Congress are broken.

“Everyone’s trying to oneup one another,” he said.

“We’re in a crisis where we need to have someone who can bring people together … I’ve done it in Olympia, where I brought Republicans and Democrats together to create a bipartisan budget that protects the most vulnerable, protects education.

I want to bring that to the other Washington.”

Koster, the lone Republican in the debate and the race, said he believes the solutions to the nation’s issues are found in people, not in bigger government programs. “(If) we set free the creative juices of the American people and allow them to innovate and allow them to create and allow them to go out and create businesses and provide goods and services for their fellow man, then it’ll create opportunities and jobs for people,” he said.

Rauniyar said he is different and Washington D.C. needs a new kind of leadership. He said as an

immigrant, he has been able to live the American dream, but that dream is fading away for many hardworking families because Congress has failed.

“We, as citizens, really need to stand up and say, ‘Enough is enough,’” he said. “We cannot continue to elect the same politicians again and again and expect a different result.”

Ruderman stressed the importance of rebuilding the economy and said she would like her role in that to be continuing to focus on expanding access to affordable, high-quality health care. She said the Affordable Care Act was a good start, but they need to build on that.

“Lack of access to health

insurance is driving middle class families into bankruptcy,” Ruderman said. “And that is just wrong.”

The debate also had a lightning round during which Balter asked yes or no questions about whether they support certain issues including same-sex marriage, legalizing marijuana, the Dream Act and increasing the age for Social Security. Candidates also had the option to “waffle” if they weren’t sure where they stood on an issue.

During this round, party lines were drawn as Koster was often the odd man out, holding up opposite response cards from his Democratic opponents.

“Our recycle bin is still overflowing,” said Johnson on Monday.

Some retail property management officials in Kirkland said people from nearby apartments are dumping their personal trash in retail business dumpsters during regular business hours. Most residents don’t want to spend the $20 minimum for garbage - and more for recycling and yard waste - disposal at the transfer station.

“Our own staff is now monitoring the garbage,” said the Hector’s property management.

Waste Management recycling and yard waste truck drivers in King and Snohomish counties went on strike July 25 following failed contract negotiations.

Service was disrupted to approximately 20,000 Kirkland residents.

Waste Management delivered its final contract offer to the union on June 6, which proposed wage and benefit increases averaging more than 4 percent per year. Mediation between the union and company ended on June 14, after the parties failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the contract that expired on May 31.

In total, recycling and yard waste drivers service 220,000 customers in the Puget Sound region.

“I hope it gets done with soon,” said Plumb.

Customers who do not receive service are encouraged to remove their garbage, recycling, and yard waste carts from the street.

Waste Management said that double load of garbage and recyclables will be collected at no additional cost on the next regularly scheduled service day. But when that service day comes is anyone’s guess.

Young artists needed for SummerFest

City makes King County’s Waste Prevention list

BRIEFS

Young artists are needed for an exhibition at Kirkland SummerFest, which will take place Aug. 10-11. The Young Artist Exhibit is the part of SummerFest and will display artwork created by youth in the area. The goal of this exhibit is to provide a showcase that celebrates the talents and creative expressions of our young artists. The participating youth will range from preschool age to 18 years old.

SummerFest organizers encourage all young artists to create a piece that relates to the theme chosen for SummerFest: “summertime.”

The City of Kirkland and 16 other Kirkland businesses are among King County’s 92 “Best Workplaces for Waste Prevention and Recycling for 2012.” In the annual list released July 25, King County commended organizations from an array of sectors, including hospitality, medical services, professional services, retail, finance, government and arts and entertainment.

King County honored the following Kirkland organizations: Allyis, BladeGallery/Epicurean Edge, City of Kirkland, D’Amico Photography, LLC, Eco Cartridge Store, Evergreen Healthcare, Google Inc. Kirkland, Honda of Kirkland, Neil Levinson Enterprises, PACE Engineers, Inc., Pagliacci Pizza Kirkland, PCC Natural Market Kirkland, Simplicity ABC, Simplicity Décor and Twelve Baskets Catering, Voldal Wartelle & Co., P.S.

Two Great Organizations Dedicated to Helping Kids consists of three organizations, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Children’s Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a staff of over 1,200 professionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000 patient visits, including visits to off-site clinics. Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds of diseases and disorders in fields such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland and is now affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in several communities

around the state of Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington. Like Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is quickly translated into new treatments. Specific areas of research include cardiology,

neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.

Both Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital believe that children should have compassionate, family-centered care. Both are at the

forefront of pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the

In a perfect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But fortunately, many of those young people who have health issues have two premiere northwest institutions to turn to for some of the best pediatric care in the country. They are Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon. QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities of the month for August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to advance new treatments.

Children’s Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless of race, religion, gender or a family’s ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million in uncompensated care in 2011.

It has consistently been ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Children’s

‘Pornographic’ book being sold at Costco It has come to my attention that Costco is selling the book series “50 Shades of Gray”. I’m not sure of the spelling of this “book” but as I understand it, this book borders on pornographic. I cannot believe that a store as good as Costco would sell a book this terrible. No, I have not read it.

Negative campaigns must stop As we receive our voter’s pamphlets and ballots, I’ve noticed an increase in negative campaigning against candidates for state office. For instance, in the race for state senate (District 1) the NSEA’s union president is again making false and misleading accusations against Northshore School Director Dawn McCravey, who is challenging the incumbent Rosemary McAuliffe. He attempts to obfuscate her strong leadership and dedication to our children’s education with statements that she is an “outlier” and takes a “My Way or the Highway” attitude (MLTnews.com).

Habib says he is an education, transportation advocate Cyrus Habib was 8 years old when he first learned to advocate for himself.

A second round of retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer, had just taken the last of his eyesight and his freedom at recess. He was forced to play close to the school playground monitors because officials at Stevenson Elementary School in Bellevue didn’t want him to get hurt.

“This was hugely demoralizing to me,” said Habib, who now lives in Kirkland.

His mother, a lawyer, stood up for him.

She signed a liability waiver, absolving the school from responsibility if Habib

was injured, and brought him to the playground on weekends so he could learn his way around the equipment without his eyesight.

Now 30, Habib is the Democratic candidate running to replace retiring Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland, for the 48th Legislative District, Pos. 2. He wants to fight for others as his mother did for him.

Budgeting by priorities is Hank Myers’ goal Hank Myers is getting quite a workout these days as he advocates for improving education and government efficiency in his bid for state office.

Myers, a Republican who is serving his second term on the Redmond City Council, has spent his afternoons and evenings riding his bike from door to door, campaigning for Pos. 2 of the 48th Legislative District, which includes parts of Redmond.

He has pedaled his way throughout the district — where he has lived for the

last 37 years — talking to constituents, stressing the importance of education and budgeting reform for state government.

Myers, who describes himself as a fiscally conservative, socially moderate politician, said his top priority is improving public education. A big issue Myers has heard during his bicycle doorbelling is that many parents have enrolled their children in private schools because of the lack of classroom funding in public schools.

He said lawmakers need to cut back on school administration costs, which account for more than 40

percent of the state educaIn addition to enrolling tion budget. their children in private “We need to put that schools, Myers said many money toward classrooms parents tell him they are and teachers,” said Myers, using tutorial services like a retired transportation Dartmoor and Kumon consultant and forbecause of the lack mer Coast Guard of funding in the air rescue crewpublic school sector. man who hopes “Education fundto replace retiring ing is inadequate,” Rep.

Habib has worked as an intern for U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and, while studying at Columbia University in New York, he interned for U.S. Sen. Hilary Clinton.

His first day with Clinton’s office was three days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Habib, an Iranian American, said this was a very intense time to work for a U.S. senator.

“I spent most of that time helping businesses and individuals relocate (from lower Manhattan to other areas of New York),” he said, adding that this experience gave him insight into how public officials can help the public. he will work to put more money into the classrooms and help fulfill the state’s constitutional obligation to provide financial support for schools.

Myers, who has served on the curriculum development committee and the gifted education committee of the Bellevue School District, said in order to adequately fund education, the state’s budgeting process must be reformed.

“We need to shrink the rest of the general budget, which has grown,” he said.

Meanwhile, funding for education has shrunk, he said. One way to improve education funding is to improve efficiency through technology, he said.

“The use of technology could enhance education,” said Myers, who has lectured at the university level. “We have two excellent tech companies in the 48th District — Microsoft and Google.

The less we spend on other things, the more we can spend on education.”

Myers is a big advocate of Budgeting by Priorities (BP) — a financial strategy the City of Redmond adopted in 2008 when Myers was first elected to the Redmond City Council. He said the state needs to adopt a prioritiesbased budgeting approach that is predicated on public input and eliminates partisan politics.

Habib also has been part of a movement to make U.S. currency accessible to the blind and testified before Congress on the issue. He said other countries’ currencies can be differentiated tactilely — whether by different-sized bills, with Braille or other methods.

Habib noted that 70 percent of the country’s working-age blind population is unemployed and part of this is due to the fact that many entry-level jobs require the ability to differentiate among bills.

For Habib, this experience showed him there are pockets of injustice in areas that often go unnoticed, but still affect a lot of people.

“I believe my perspective will be new to Olympia,” he said.

Don’t fret over bond prices When you own stocks, you know their prices will fluctuate. To ease the effects of this volatility on your portfolio, you could add other types of investments, such as bonds.

Yet bond prices will also rise and fall. But there may be — in fact, there should be — a big difference in how you

view the ups and downs of stocks versus bonds.

Any number of reasons can cause stock prices to go up or down. But in the case of bonds, prices go up and down largely, though not exclusively, for one reason: changes in interest rates.

Suppose you purchase a bond that pays 4 percent interest and then, a year later, newly issued bonds pay 3 percent.

You could now potentially

sell your bond for more than its face value because it provides more income to investors than the new bonds.

Conversely, if newly issued bonds pay 5 percent interest, the value of your existing bond would drop because it’s unlikely that someone would pay full price for a bond that provides less income than newer bonds.

Pirates invade Kirkland Classic Car Show

“A” Suraphong Liengboonlertchai, owner of Kirkland’s Simplicity Decor says he’s “tickled pink” to announce the Grand Opening of his new sister store, Simplicity ABC. The festivities will start at 5 p.m., with a ribbon cutting by Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione at 5:30 pm.

Ten percent of all proceeds from sales during the Grand Opening weekend, Aug. 10-12, will go to The Kirkland Boys & Girls Club of King County, aiding in the $40,000 Sum-

for more gifts, toys and books, what began as a small corner of kids’ items quickly expanded.

“Eventually, we ran out of space,” he said.

A knew the only way to answer all the requests from his customers would be to expand into a new space in the neighborhood. So he began looking.

“A few years later, I learned Georgie, owner of Lakeshore Gallery across the street, had plans to retire,” said A. After few short months, a lot of renovating and hard work later, Simplicity ABC was born: a place for children and their parents to live, laugh and learn.

Simplicity ABC is located at 107 Park Lane in Kirkland, across the street from Simplicity Decor.

lives or who do not have a secure attachment to a parental figure may develop anxious responses, even without a genetic susceptibility.

Anxiety may also be a learned behavior, since a parent’s ability to handle stress influences the child to react to certain situations in the same way.

As a parent, it’s important to recognize anxious behavior in your child. Some warning signs include severe shyness, sleeping or eating problems, excessive worrying, or compulsive (repetitive) behaviors.

If your child exhibits one or more of these signs, you can try to help overcome the fears which lead to his or her anxious behavior.

One tip is to acknowledge your child’s worries and encourage a discussion about the issue. Avoid telling any child not to worry, as the fear will not go away on its own, nor simply because you say so.

tate Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina) is aiming for his sixth term in the 48th District this fall. In his reelection effort, Hunter has drawn only one challenger, Bill Hirt, a Bellevue resident.

Hirt is a Republican running on the issue of East Link light-rail, a plan he thinks will bring more harm than good to the region. He has testified at numerous Bellevue City Council meetings about the project.

“I’m running because Eastside legislators have abetted East Link, a monumental fraud perpetrated by Sound Transit and the WSDOT that will be a disaster for the entire east side,” he wrote in his statement on the King County Voters Pamphlet.

Hirt has not raised any funds for his campaign, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission. Hunter has raised more than $96,000, with about $15,000 spent.

Hunter, the chair of the state House Ways and Means Committee, is one of the more influential Democrats in the House.

He is a key figure in state budget negotiations.

Hunter said in the voter’s guide that he will continue to work toward creating a financially stable state, while making sure to focus on some of the Eastside’s most pressing projects.

“With your support I will continue to emphasize a strong, fully-funded education system, balanced state budgets, and work to ensure the 520 bridge project remains on time and under budget,” he said.

The Municipal League of King County rated Hunter as “Very Good,” while it said Hirt was “Not Qualified” for the position.

Pro golfer and Kirkland native golfs at ‘Swing for the Cure’

BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com

When JoAnne Carner started shaping her golf game back in the 1950s, Inglewood Golf Club and the old Juanita Golf Course were her stomping grounds.

Carner, now 73, didn’t possess a bag of golf clubs at first, but a pair of deft hands used for ball hunting at Juanita with her brother, Bill Gunderson.

“We would clean them up and sell them on the weekend,” she said with a laugh about 90 minutes before teeing off last Sunday at the LPGA Legends Swing for the Cure Golf Tournament at Inglewood in Kenmore.

Carner, a World Golf Hall of Famer, had 43 tournament wins — including two U.S. Women’s Opens — during her career.

“We were allowed to play after the paying customers, so we played a lot of golf when everybody was having dinner,” said Carner about hitting the links as a youngster.

“We used to play moonlight golf with the neighbor kids — there would be 10 or 12 of us. That’s why it never bothers me, people talking in my swing — growing up with them, everybody’s yelling in your backswing.”

A small, but loyal, gallery of golf fans cheered for and joked with Carner — paired with fellow legend Nancy Lopez — as she strolled up to the first tee on Sunday.

Joanne Carner stands with Nancy Lopez at The Legends Swing for the Cure Golf Tournament that took place Sunday, July 29. ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter Carner and Lopez cracked nice drives to start their rounds, and many people followed the duo — the last to tee off for the day — along the course.

Bill McDonnell, who traveled from Mukilteo to attend the event with his wife, Sue, noted about Carner and Lopez: “Boy, they still got game.”

Carner finished with a 6-over 79 and tied for 24th on the Legends Tour stop, while Nancy Scranton picked up her fourth win on the tour with a 2-under 71. Lopez tied for 16th with a 4-over 77.

All proceeds from the Legends Swing for the Cure Golf Tournament will go to

the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound organization to fight breast cancer.

About 1,000 people attended the event.

“Not only is Susan G. Komen such a great charity — everybody wants to do something to give back a little bit,” said Carner, who now lives in Palm Beach, Fla. “And, of course, being from this area and having played Inglewood a lot, it’s fun to be back here.”

Komen and Mulvanny G2 Architecture of Bellevue paired up to host the benefit tournament for the 10th year, and the first with the LPGA Legends on hand.

Gail Lapasin, Komen’s

Puget Sound affiliate director of development, said that when breast cancer is caught in its earliest stages, there’s a 99-percent, five-year survival

rate.

“That’s our most important message,” she said at the tournament. “People are walking away with a pretty full, robust experience: It’s a great sporting event, a great golfing event and something important for your health.”

Seventy-five percent of the net funds raised will help provide mammograms, treatment support and education for local women. Twenty-five percent of the net funds will go directly to global research to find a cure for breast cancer.

Mulvanny G2 board chairman Jerry Lee noted that the tournament raised $830,000 for Komen in the first nine years. (Sunday’s totals weren’t available at press time.)

“Every $150 we raise is for one mammogram,” said Lee, whose late wife, Patricia, died of breast cancer 15 years ago, and his current wife, Charlene, is a breast-cancer survivor.

“We were active with Komen when (Patricia) was alive, and after we lost her, we continued carrying the banner,” Lee said.

Back on the course, the McDonnells followed Cindy Rarick during her round.

“I’ve always loved it. My husband used to say, ‘You know, you’d be happy if I dropped you off at eight in the morning and picked you up at dark at night.’

I can play with anybody or play by myself and just enjoy it,” said Carner, who learned to hit the ball long during driving contests with her brother’s buddies at Juanita back in the day.

Patty Sheehan, who tied for second with a 1-under 72 on Sunday, summed up the ladies’ feelings about golf after driving off the first tee. She turned to the crowd, waved and said: “If you can’t have fun, do something else.”

Casper Wells signs autographs for Mariner fans in Kirkland

BY MATT PHELPS AND RAECHEL DAWSON Kirkland Reporter

Seattle Mariner Casper Wells signs a poster for Austin and Ryden Rapoza at the Kirkland Fred Meyer on Thursday as their mom watches. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter

On a hot sunny summer day, nearly 100 patrons lined up inside the Kirkland Fred Meyer Thursday.

But they weren’t waiting to buy hot dogs or beer. Their patience was for a chance to meet Seattle Mariner Casper Wells.

The outfielder autographed posters, baseballs and bats for an hour to promote Seattle baseball and the Miller and Coors beer, which was dutifully stacked behind him. It is the first time a professional player visited the Kirkland Fred Meyer in four years for an autograph session, according to a Fred Meyer spokesperson.

Danielle and Phil

Rapoza said they decided to meet the Mariner to support the team. The Rapoza’s and their two sons were dressed in Mariner gear and, they said, had been to about 20 games this season.

“Hopefully he’ll be the right fielder in the future,” said Phil. “…That he’ll fill the void of Ichiro.”

For Wells, 28, the signing was a chance to connect with fans after less than a year with the Seattle team.

“It is good to be a part of the community,” said Wells. “It is nice to show them what I am like outside of baseball.”

Wells has had his share of ups and downs this season - literally. He was sent down to the Mariners’ AAA affiliate in Tacoma

during a portion of this season after struggling at the plate. When he was recalled to the big-league club his offensive production picked up. He even batted third in the lineup for a few games. That spot is normally reserved for the team’s best hitter.

“It is whatever skip (manager Eric Wedge) wants,” said Wells. “I am just glad to be in the lineup.”

The trade of Ichiro was heartbreaking to some fans but also presents an opportunity for young players such as Wells.

“There are changes in baseball all the time and you have to take advantage of any opportunity,” said Wells. “There were changes when I came over from Detroit.”

Like Ichiro this season, Wells was part of a midseason trade last year.

“I am excited for (Ichiro) and I hope it ends up in something exciting towards the latter part of his career,” said Wells.

Ichiro’s trade to the New York Yankees moved him from a last-place team, to the team with the best record in the American league, a shot to play in the post-season and maybe the World Series.

As a young player with just under a year with the Mariners’ organization, Wells admitted that he did not get to know Ichiro very well. But he still had an impact on the outfielder.

“We never had any conversations,” said Wells.

“But it was just the way he carried himself and went about his business.”

[ Myers from page 6] instituted a priority-based approach to budgeting for the state 10 years ago, but current Gov. Chris Gregoire switched back to a more traditional process, where cuts and additions are made using the baseline of the previous budget. A priority budgeting approach uses a zero baseline and funds items that citizens value most.

Myers said BP has worked well in Redmond and it “reduces leadership power and politics.”

“We are looking at services we want to provide, not whether we are Democrat or Republican or whose idea it was,” Myer said. “A side benefit of budgeting by priorities is that it lowers the tension to come up with partisan solutions.”

LWSD receives nearly six million for two Kirkland schools Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn announced $213 million in capital construction money approved and released to school districts throughout the state, including close to $14 million for Lake Washington School District. The legislature made these funds avail-

able for school construction, as approved by the governor.

Lake Washington successfully applied for state funding to help with the cost of four school construction projects that are part of the district’s modernization program.

“These additional state dollars help us stretch the modernization funds provided by local taxpayers even further,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent.

Two Kirkland schools, Alexander Graham Bell Elementary ($3.1 million) and International Community School/ Community School

($2.7 million), received construction funds. The two schools are among 10 in the district slated for modernization and are in the second of four phases.

It ensures that district schools are updated every 30 to 40 years. A $436 million bond measure passed by voters in 2006 funds most of the cost of updating these 10 buildings.

The four current LWSD projects are the last to be completed in this phase of modernization. All four have begun construction and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2013.

“Cody is a tenacious athlete who is equally skilled as a dodger, a finisher, a shooter and a feeder,” Webster said.
