Cross-Kirkland trail is moving forward, officials say TriFreaks

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

King County executive Dow Constantine proposed paying the Port of Seattle $15.8 million for nearly 20 miles of the Eastside Rail Corridor last week. If accepted, the disused railway that occupies the corridor would go to public ownership and connect the Eastside in more ways than one.

“This corridor is poised to become an important transportation link among Eastside

suburbs,” said Redmond Councilmember Kathy Lambert in a news release. “The opportunities for dual use of the corridor could include a path for non-motorized use alongside passenger rail transit. Establishing public ownership and access to this transportation resource is a major achievement for King County.”

The corridor spans from Redmond to Renton and cuts through many Kirkland neighborhoods. It has been an ongoing project for the council for about 20 years.

“We see it as a good thing,” said David Godfrey, transportation engineering manager of Kirkland. “If developed, it will help connect the north and south region.”

The city is in the process of developing the use of its own corridor, the Cross Kirkland Corridor, bought from the Port of Seattle last spring.The Council purchased 5.75 miles of the 44-mile long Eastside Rail Corridor on April 13, 2012 for $5 million. [ more TRAIL page 7 ]

Kirklanders can expect about 500 to 750 participants to be running, biking and swimming around Kirkland’s Juanita Beach Park for the city’s first TriFreaks triathlon in late September. The race will make Kirkland’s 10th triathlon overall.

he Totem Lake Malls have long been under-occupied by businesses but a new tenant on the south end and other surrounding developments could help to revitalize the Totem Lake area.

“The plan is that Totem Lake will become a major site over the next few years,” said Eric Shields, city planning director. “We are welcoming new developments.”

Despite the nearly empty Totem Lake Malls, the Totem Lake neighborhood has been an area of growth. Recent data indicate 36 percent of Kirkland jobs are located in Totem Lake with only 11 percent of Kirkland’s population on 13 percent of the city’s acreage.

The Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, located in the neighborhood, is one of Kirkland’s biggest employers and employs 3,290 workers.

But plans to further develop the neighborhood include a nearly finished 50,000 square foot L.A. Fitness scheduled for a grand opening Oct. 1, a 108-unit apartment complex called Slater 116 – expected to finished near the end of 2013 and a 24 Hour Fitness, which has yet to apply for building permits.

“We have zoned Totem Lake to accommodate high-density development,” Shields said.

The L.A. Fitness will employ more than 40 workers and is the

The gym will include a basketball and racquetball court, a “Kids Klub,” a lap pool, saunas, an Emerald City Smoothie, cycling classes and group fitness - yoga, kick boxing and cardio classes and personal training. Hundreds of weights and cardio equipment are also available for members who want to pay between $29 and $50 a month.

General manager Kristi Tran said the construction costs equate to about $30 million. There are currently 500 L.A. Fitnesses nationwide and this will be the 23rd in Washington.

The gym will replace Dan’s Sporting Goods. And Tran said they’ve expanded the building by a significant amount.

Developers chose 12618 120th Avenue N.E. because of various demographics, nearby residential and corporate areas and also because of its proximity to Trader Joe’s, which

The new gym will see competition when the 24 Hour Fitness’ permit application goes through.

Barber said a big truck will be available to drop off donated canned food or nonparishables for Hopelink. She said that one year when they had an indoor race they ended up with 700 pounds of food with only 200-300 people.

Kirkland wants urban forestry survey filled out Kirkland is reaching out to the public through a 16-question survey to understand how the public values its trees. Citizens have until Sept. 14 to respond.

The survey results will be included into a “strategic plan,” which will be presented to the Kirkland City Council at an Oct. 2 study session.

Ultimately, the plan will guide the way Kirkland manages its urban forest.

For more than a decade, Kirkland has upheld street tree-planting requirements in developments through piecemeal policies, city officials say.

With these measures, Kirkland steadily progressed toward its city-wide 40 percent tree canopy cover goal, improving from 32 percent in 2003 to 36 percent in 2010. And then, on June 1, 2011, Kirkland achieved its canopy goal all at once with the annexation of Kingsgate, North Juanita and Finn Hill.

“Many of the old ‘To Do List’ items are checked off,” said Deb Powers, Kirkland’s urban forester. “The City has taken huge steps to manage its tree resource. But, if we’re thinking about sustainable cities, the questions now are: were these measures effective? Where do we go from here?”

To answer these questions, the City of Kirkland contracted the Davey Resource Group to analyze the City’s existing policies and practices. The resulting Urban Forest Strategic Management Plan, paid for with a Washington state Department of Natural Resources grant, will be Kirkland’s first complete guide for creating efficient urban forest operations, policies and programs.

To take the survey, visit www.research.net/s/ K28JXQ5. For more information or for questions about the survey, contact urban forester Deb Powers at dpowers@kirklandwa.gov.

Dishonesty at GOP convention

“Suicide is the number two killer of teens, it’s a huge national issue,” said Kjell Oswald co-founder of the new Cadence Family Therapy. “ But why should a family have to send their child away? The tools (for treatment) are lost in a different environment.”

T

his past week, the Republican Party held its 40th national convention in Tampa, Florida, where more than 2,000 delegates nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to be their standard bearers for president and vice president.

I watched much of the convention on C-SPAN, because although I disagree with just about everything Republicans stand for, I strongly believe in a free exchange of ideas.

At press time, Mitt Romney had yet to address the convention, but most of the other scheduled speakers had.

I didn’t care for Paul Ryan’s acceptance speech. To say that it was dishonest would be an understatement. I can’t respond to everything Ryan said here, but I’ll cover a few lowlights.

“I have never seen opponents so silent about their record, and so desperate to keep their power,” Ryan said early on. “They’ve run out of ideas. Their moment came and went. Fear and division are all they’ve got left.”

Fear and division? Those are good words to describe how Republicans like to campaign. Contrary to what Ryan says, Democrats have many ideas for strengthening our country. This week, Democrats came together in Charlotte to approve a platform that will lay out the party’s vision for a stronger America - including a plan to lessen money’s influence in politics. The platform were expected to call for passage of the Disclose Act and a constitutional amendment to overturn Supreme Court decisions that wrongly equate corporations with people and money to speech.

Ryan also had the gall to accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible: “They have no answer to this simple reality: We need to stop spending money we don’t have. It’s not that hard,” he said.

OPINION

[4] September 7, 2012

All I could do when I heard that pronouncement was laugh. It’s not that hard, eh? When Paul Ryan’s party controlled Congress and the White House, they spent like there was no tomorrow.

They speedily wiped out the surplus that President Clinton had left them and kept on going. No exaggeration: Since he was elected to the U.S. House more than a decade ago, Paul Ryan has voted to add a staggering total of $6.8 trillion to our national debt. That’s right, $6.8 trillion. Trillion, with a T! Most of that debt was created during the Bush years, when Republicans pushed through multiple rounds of budget-busting tax cuts, overhauled Medicare Part D without paying for it, and financed the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan on America’s credit card.

What’s more, Ryan’s disingenuously named

“Path to Prosperity” budget would pile on even more debt, because Republicans have made it plainly clear they are unwilling to either reduce defense spending or raise taxes. The position they’ve adopted means we’d definitely be spending money we don’t have have under a Romney/Ryan administration – even if we completely shredded our safety net.

Ryan also characterized the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as a failure during his speech. He didn’t mention that in 2009, just after ARRA had passed with bipartisan support, Ryan sent letters to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis asking for ARRA [ more COLUMN page 5 ]

Trails volunteer sets a high standard

Love as Jesus did, OK marriage for all

After reading your article (“Keeping the trails alive: volunteer keeps parks walkable,” Aug. 1), I am fairly certain that your Stu Clark was my scoutmaster in the early 1970s while I was living in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

He was such an inspiration and a cool leader, and he took us to wonderful places.

We were in the Sierras for two weeks, hiking many miles with heavy packs.

I was using one of the standard issue Boy Scout backpacks, and it had an aluminium bar that rubbed on my lower back, actually down to the bone.

We were far from anything, but Stu remained calm, assuring me that all would be well. He stayed with me, even though I was dead last for most of the trip.

I’m glad that Stu is still an inspiration. All of you are blessed to have Stu in your neck of the woods.

Opponents of Referendum 74, the referendum that legalizes same sex marriage, will soon deluge us with literature, television and radio adds that are fear based, inaccurate, and full of half-truths.

They will do this in the name of “religious faith.”

It will not matter that Jesus gave us the great commandment to love one another as we have been loved

by God. It will not matter that Jesus cautioned all of us not to judge lest we be judged.

It will not matter that the Referendum clearly states that religious institutions do not have to perform or recognize same-sex marriage.

It will not matter that the referendum will in no way penalize those same religious institutions for not performing or recognizing same sex marriages.

Have no doubt: you will not be presented with facts or the truth.

The appeal from the opposition will be to emotional fear.

What does matter is that ap-

proving Referendum 74 will honor the long term, committed, loving relationships of couples that happen to be of the same gender.

What does matter is that there are many people of faith who assert that love is stronger than fear.

What does matter is that there are many of us who are people of faith who believe we are being faithful by approving Referendum 74.

One of the founders of my faith tradition, Francis David, made the statement in 14th century Europe that I believe applies to our time and this issue: “We need not think alike to love alike.”

As a person of faith, recognizing that we do not all think alike, I ask you to join me in loving alike: Vote to Approve Referendum 74.

I was also excited to get back to working while she was in school.

In hindsight, I should have called the police. Instead I just kept doggedly replacing the signs. It was a mistake. I never dreamt things would get personal.

A couple of days before the election, a neighbor asked if she could have one of my signs to put in her yard, so I gave her one of the foam-core ones.

During the night, the sign was ripped down and her house was T.P.’d.

The attacker must’ve thought she was the one who’d been putting the signs up down at the parkn-ride and was punishing her for it, and had moved from neutral space onto our street, trespassing, and targeting our homes.

I felt physically sick.

Eastside’s Silicon Mechanics is growing fast The company manufactures rackmount servers and related equipment

BY ANDY NYSTROM

W

anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

hen disastrous floods hit Thailand last fall, Eva Cherry and her Silicon Mechanics crew had to wrack their brains in order to complete their rackmount-servers orders.

What happened a world away affected the Bothell company since the servers need hard drives, and Thailand is the place where nearly 45 percent of the world’s devices are produced, according to an NPR report.

“The hard-drive manufacturing capacity was reduced by almost 30 percent,” said Cherry, 46, a Kirkland resident and Silicon Mechanics president and chief executive officer. “We just got creative about how to fulfill our orders.”

With fewer hard drives available and prices for existing ones skyrocketing, Cherry ordered some devices at reasonable prices from Amazon’s Germany location and some from the United Kingdom. She had some hard drives delivered to her mother in her native Germany, and they were soon shipped to Bothell.

“It’s about building flexibility into your business, into the culture to feel, ‘Well, whatever comes

Eva Cherry, president and CEO of Silicon Mechanics, gives a tour of the production facility in Bothell. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter our way, we’ll somehow find a way to deal with that and make it through,’” said Cherry of her company, which manufactures rackmount servers along with storage and high-performance computing clusters.

The Puget Sound Business Journal recently named Silicon Mechanics one of the Eastside’s 50 fastest-growing private companies. It made $30 million in 2011 and has been profitable for the last 27 months, said Cherry, adding that the company hopes to hit $35 million in revenues this year.

Most of its business is generated in the U.S. and it has 80 to 90 percent repeat customers, from small businesses to larger firms.

“The atmosphere right now is extremely busy, which is great,” said Steve Wiechert, chief operating officer and chief financial officer. “I think key to our success, especially in this difficult economy, is our ability to work more efficiently than the other guy. We’ve put a lot of things in place that have ensured processes are followed; we’re doing better at documentation, we’re getting the

right people on board.”

ON THE RISE Cherry, originally from Zwickau in the former East Germany, received her master’s in business administration from Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has more than 20 years of executive management experience in technology and manufacturing, including 10 years as a management consultant in Deloitte’s Strategy & Operations and Enterprise Applications practices.

She joined Silicon Mechanics in 2008 and stepped into her current role a year later. The company has been located in Bothell since 2006 and presently has 50 employees, with more on the way, Cherry said.

Her journey from Germany to South Africa and beyond began after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

She was in Berlin at the time, and soon a family friend from South Africa suggested she head to that country to Wits University.

“The world’s open all of a sudden,” Cherry said of the wall falling and her ensuing travels.

Cherry has found success along the way, but the struggling economy affected Silicon Mechanics a few years ago.

In order to weather the economic storm, Cherry, Wiechert and their staff pulled together, were up front with their customers about the firm’s financial situation and kept them on board, informing them that things would soon improve. That’s exactly what happened, and now profits are up, Silicon Mechanics and its valued customers are tighter than ever and Cherry’s employees are thriving under her leadership.

“Internally, I started ‘fireside chats’ and we talked about our financial performance, what the market was looking like and what our plans were,” said Cherry, who is married, has a German Shepherd and enjoys skiing, biking and golfing.

“It’s neat to see how people have grown over the years, through the tough times,” she added.

already begun to schedule consultations with eager families, which can be competitive when it comes to getting help or a spot on the wait list.

Oswald said it is sometimes up to a year before a child can get the proper therapy for a mental health issue such as autism, which is most prevalent in Washington.

And with the National Institute of Mental Health estimating 20 to 25 percent of adolescents have emotional or mental disorders,

nationwide, Cadence Family Therapy may be a boon to many families in need.

The facility will serve children ages 2 to 21 and offers many different techniques for treatment, with each plan central to the individual.

Children who experience a range of issues - depression, anxiety, ADHD or anorexia - can expect various “evidence-based” methods to help them through.

Some of these techniques include:

applied behavior analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and family therapy.

“Cadence’s mental health experts partner with families to identify strengths, assess areas of concern, and develop innovative treatment solutions,” said Cadence Family Therapy advisor Mark Fadool in a news release. [ more CLINIC page 7 ]

However, transforming the railway that occupies the corridor will cost more.

On Aug. 7 the council unanimously voted to allocate $203,000 of Surface Water Reserves to add to the combined total of $3.2 million from direct state appropriations and a Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant. The money will be used for rail removal and an interim trail scheduled to commence early 2013 and finish late 2014.

The estimated cost of the project is $3.6 million.

An additional $450,000, with a $50,000 local match, is being sought through other grants. The funding of those grants will be decided during the 2013 legislature.

Godfrey said the $100,000 difference between the cost and the total funding if the grants are successful will act as a buffer in case it ends up costing more.

The council approved funding from the Surface Water Reserves because, according to Aug. 7 city documents, the trail will improve access to surface water facilities in need of repair. Money in the reserves comes from ratepayers that pay into the surface water utility.

The trail will consist of crushed gravel, similar to the East Lake Sammamish Trail, with fences and chain links to protect “sensitive” areas.

A Master Plan for future

to prioritize.”

The Master Plan will expand off of the 2009 Eastside Rail Corridor Interest Statement in which they adopted it in April 2011.

The Eastside Rail corridor was formerly known as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway but the name soon changed after the Port of Seattle obtained the railway in 2009.

During prior transportation commission meetings, some Kirkland residents were opposed to rail removal. Many said they were concerned that if the rails are uprooted, businesses would not be able to use the current or future railway.

They said upgrading rails would be easier if existing

rails were already in place.

There was a fear that if they were taken out, they would never be reconstructed.

Some were also worried the rails would not be able to be used as a “redundant line” for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway mainline.

The commission countered the concerns with a list of reasons why removal was necessary. Future use of the railway is unlikely, the commission said, because the Port of Seattle has made no effort in its three years of ownership to operate it. If it did operate, it would operate at very low speeds. And a redundant line is obsolete because the Wilburton tunnel was removed from

I-405 and made into a trail.

The commission also said more people would use the corridor if it were replaced by a trail.

For those who want to be involved, Kirkland residents can “adopt” a section of the corridor to keep it clean with the city’s “Adopt-aTrail” program. An event to kick off the program will be on Saturday Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the intersection of NE 87th Street and 112th Avenue N.E.

ADOPT A TRAIL For inquiries on a “Adopt a Trail” contact Kirkland Public Works Street Division at 425 587 3900 or pwservice@kirklandwa.gov

The proposed Cross-Kirkland trail would follow the route of an unused rail corridor. MAP COURTESY OF CITY OF KIRKLAND transportation throughout the corridor is in the works.

Godfrey says the plan is currently unfunded but is analyzing how the corridor will handle a paved trail.

“In order to keep drainage improvements to a minimum the trail needs to be about the width (8-10 feet) of the existing rail bed,” Godfrey said, “and that’s narrow for a paved trail where bike speeds can be higher.”

Potential funding for the paved trails is likely to come from the King County and Kirkland park levies. But

funds from these levies would only pave portions of the corridor because city documents say paving the path could cost up to three times the amount of a gravel trail.

While Kirkland resident Bob Style agrees there should be a corridor for pedestrian use, he says voters do not want funding to come from park levies.

“That fund can be paid for without new taxes,” said Style. “That’s what the poll indicated. The council needs to not kick the can down the road. They need

Co-founders Kjell Oswald, Jim Bosler and Steven Daly stand in front of Cadence Family Therapy at Carillon Point. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter Because of the need for children’s mental health help, Oswald said many families are forced to resort to extreme cases. Some families need to use out of state facilities or quit their job for treatment. But Oswald said Cadence will be a “one stop shop where people can come for any mental health issue.”

“Suicide is the number two killer of teens, it’s a huge national issue,” Oswald said. “But why should a family have to send their

child away? The tools (for treatment) are lost in a different environment.”

The outpatient therapy is a way to help families and children maintain their regular lives while still getting the help they need.

Families should check with their insurance providers to see what can be covered under their plan but visits will typically cost about $160 per hour.

“This unique approach values the family’s voice, which allows for substantial improvements in the shortest amount of time.”

Fadool is the clinical director of mental health services of the Odessa Brown Clinic at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Oswald said they will treat each case by using a team approach. Currently, the center has 10 psychologists and masterlevel therapists and is led by clinical director Ronnie Cunningham. Oswald said there is a possibility of expansion in the future and hopes to train many interns throughout time.

The mental health center has informal ties to the Seattle Children’s Hospital, University of Washington and local doctors and schools on the Eastside.

Jim Mazza is a professor and director of the School Psychology Program at the UW and Elizabeth DexterMazza is a dialectical behavior therapy consultant.

REAL ESTATE & FINANCE Knowing Your Home Buying Power Invest Early - and Wisely - for College KIRKLAND

Your guide to Real Estate and home buying & selling

Mark J. Hanna, Chairman/CEO. NMLS-91462, MLO-91462

As one of the largest independent mortgage companies in the Northwest, Directors Mortgage understands that buying a home can be one of life’s largest purchases. Using our experience and dedication, we provide excellent service to our clients guiding them through the home buying process.

When you decide to purchase a home, getting pre-approved for a home loan is the best way to begin. Getting started is as simple as speaking with your Sr. Mortgage Specialist and completing an application. Preapproval gives you the advantage of knowing your buying power and identifying any qualifying areas that might need attention. You will also learn the loan amount that you can be approved for. You and your Sr. Mortgage Specialist can

then sit down and decide on a comfort level for monthly payments within your price range. This knowledge will help you shop with confidence during your home search.

Being pre-approved will save you time and energy by eliminating extra time that may be spent looking at homes that do not fit your budget. Alternatively, you may discover that you qualify to purchase more home than you anticipated. Another benefit is enhanced negotiating power, because completing pre-approval shows that you are prepared to buy. Understanding the boundaries of your approval allows you to negotiate with confidence to reach the outcome you desire.

Being pre-approved is different than being pre-qualified. A prequalification is an educated, informal estimate of a borrowers purchasing power based

on income and asset information as provided by the borrower. An underwritten pre-approval means that a potential borrower’s information has been seen by a qualified underwriter and verified. The borrower’s purchasing power is formally identified, which provides proof to real estate agents that you mean business. Being preapproved shows that you are prepared to purchase, and this is what gives you leverage during home purchase negotiations.

Move into the buying process with knowledge and confidence by contacting your local Sr. Mortgage Specialist.

Directors Mortgage knows local, and is ready to work with you to complete the pre-approval process. Call our Kirkland Office at 425.629.3002 to get started today. (Equal Housing Opportunity; Consumer Loan License NMLS-3240, CL-3240.)

School is back in session. If you have school-age children, you’re probably busy getting them acclimated to another year of hitting the books. But the school years go by quickly, so it won’t be long before your kids are ready to head off to college. Will you be financially prepared to help them?

It’s certainly a challenge, especially given rising costs of higher education. Consider these figures from the College Board: For the 2011-2012 school year, the average cost (including tuition, fees, room and board) was $17,131 per year for an in-state student attending a public, fouryear college or university.

For a student attending a private four-year school, the comparable average cost was $38,589 annually. And these numbers are likely to increase in the years ahead.

So, what can you do to help meet the high costs of higher education? For starters, you need to save and invest — early and often. And you’ll also want to choose investments that are particularly well suited for college. Here are a few suggestions: 529 plan — When you invest in a 529 plan, all withdrawals

will be free from federal income taxes, as long as the money is used for a qualified college expense for your child, or even your grandchild. (However, non-qualified withdrawals may be subject to federal, state and penalty taxes.) Contribution limits are quite high so, in all likelihood, you’ll be able to put as much as you want into a 529 plan; although you generally can’t exceed the annual gift tax exclusion, which is $13,000 per beneficiary in 2012.

Furthermore, if you participate in your own state’s 529 plan, your contributions may be tax deductible on your state taxes.

Coverdell Education Savings Account — Depending on your income level, you can contribute up to $2,000 annually to a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) in 2012. Your Coverdell earnings and withdrawals will be tax-free, provided you use the money for qualified education expenses. (Any non-education withdrawals from a Coverdell ESA may be subject to a 10 percent penalty.) Unlike a 529 Plan, in addition to college expenses, Coverdell funds can be used for kindergarten through 12th grade expenses and

you can place Coverdell ESA contributions into virtually any investment you choose - stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, etc.

Zero coupon bonds — A zero coupon bond is priced at a discount to its principal or face value. You receive the principal value when the bond matures.

So, you could purchase a zero coupon bond that matures in the year your child is ready to go to college. Although you won’t receive regular interest payments throughout the life of the zero coupon bond, you’ll still be liable for the taxes on this interest. So, before purchasing a zero coupon bond, consult with your tax advisor.

These investments have proven popular among many parents and grandparents.

However, you’ll need to consult with your financial advisor to determine which collegesavings vehicles are appropriate for your needs. But don’t wait too long — because, before you know it, today’s grade-schoolers will be packing for their college dorms.

Should You Prepare for “Fiscal Cliff”? simultaneously, the Bush-era tax cuts — including the reduction in capital gains and dividend taxes — are set to expire.

This combination of spending cuts and higher taxes could take some $600 billion out of the economy, leading to a possible recession — and maybe something much worse, at least in the eyes of the Fed. Still, there’s no need for panic. Despite its political infighting, Congress is likely to

reduce the “cliff ” to a smaller bump, though it probably won’t happen until after the election. But as an investor, you may need to be prepared for two significant events: market volatility, at least in the short term, and higher taxes, probably for the foreseeable future.

To combat market volatility, you need to own a broadly diversified portfolio that can handle “bumps,” “cliffs” and other rugged

This means you’ll need a mix of stocks, bonds and other securities that are suitable for your needs. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market volatility, it cannot guarantee profits or protect against losses.) You may also need to “rebalance” your portfolio to ensure that it’s still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, despite the impact of volatility.

As an investor, you can sometimes still feel you’re at the mercy of forces beyond your control. This may be especially true today, when the Federal Reserve has warned of an approaching “fiscal cliff.” What can you do in the face of such a dire prediction?

First of all, you need to understand what led to the Fed’s remarks. Here’s the story: Some $1.2 trillion in spending cuts are scheduled to begin in 2013 while,

Now, let’s turn to taxes. Even if taxes on income, capital gains and dividends do rise, they will still, in all likelihood, be much lower than they’ve been at various points in the past. Nonetheless, you may want to consider a variety of steps, including the following: Take advantage of tax-deferred vehicles.

Contribute as much as possible to your traditional IRA, your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, and any education savings accounts you may have, such as a 529 plan.

Consider converting

your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA provides tax-free earnings, provided you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½ and you’ve had your account for at least five years. (Be aware, though, that this conversion is taxable and may not be appropriate if you don’t have money readily available to pay the taxes.)

Consider municipal bonds. If you’re in one of the upper tax brackets, you may benefit from investing in “munis,” which pay interest that’s free of federal taxes, and possibly state and local taxes as well.

Not all these choices will be suitable for your situation, of course.

Before taking action on these items, you may want to consult with your tax and financial advisors. But give these options some thought because they may prove helpful in keeping your financial goals from going “over a cliff.”

Establishing Your Family Routine great! And, going back to the first point, the last thing that you and your child need to be feeling on top of the excitement of the transition is the feeling of being rushed.

Establishing routines take time. Everyone needs to be patient and not be discouraged when witnessing some less-than-desirable behaviors come out. Some of the common behaviors you will witness during these transitions include being clingy, increased emotional outbursts or crying, excessive tiredness or lack of tiredness, vocalizing that they don’t want to go to school (we would all love to be on summer vacation all year round!), or changing eating or toileting habits.

Just remember, that it is our job to use our self-soothing techniques to model for our children that changes can be fun and exciting as long as everyone works together and remembers to breath.

As many of you know, this is a very stressful time of year. To help you and your family work together to get through this stress and move forward to establishing a new routine, please keep the following thoughts in mind.

Keep children safe in school zones It’s that time of year when children return to school and this means that drivers will once again have to slow down in school zones at least twice per day.

Pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of injury-related death in the United States for children ages 5 to 15, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 33,000 children are treated in emergency rooms for pedestrianrelated injuries annually.

This is one of the reasons for the 15 mph speed limit around schools.

To help make school zones safer for children you can do the following:

• Be on the lookout for children darting between cars.

• Slow down to 15 mph or less in school zones and school crosswalks when children are present and this applies to high school lunch hours where children can leave school grounds.

• Stop completely at stop signs.

• Refrain from using your cellphone or any other distraction while around school zones.

• Consider practicing with your child at the school drop-off area to become familiar with it.

• If you have to drop off a child at school, give yourself adequate time so that you do not have to speed to get to work on time.

• Remember to look both ways for children when using roundabouts.

Depth remains a challenge as the team builds on last year’s 2-8 mark

hen head coach Steve Supple took over the Lake Washington football program in 2010, he had a vision of where he wanted the Kangs to be.

Entering his third year, the skills and work ethic are there – but the numbers, not quite yet.

“If you watch us practice and see the things we are doing in practice, you can see we are a football team,” said Supple, whose team started out 2-0 last year before dropping their last eight games of the season.

“Guys are well coached, we know, and they know what they’re doing. What we don’t have yet, what hasn’t been established, is the depth you need to compete in this league.”

The Kangs cleared 90 kids for spring ball and about 80 turned out this fall, certainly an improvement over recent years, but not nearly ideal for a school of LW’s size.

Supple said that while most teams’ backup players are juniors, with the occasional sophomore in the mix, most of his “twos and threes” will be sophomores and freshmen.

While the numbers game is difficult to overcome, the Kangs still possess a good deal of talent.

Shawn Gray, the team’s starting quarterback, is back and healthy after being derailed by a season-ending knee injury against Bellevue only four weeks into last

Third-year head coach Steve Supple (above) keeps a watchful eye on his players as they stretch before practice. Supple’s shorthanded squad dropped down to the 2A level this season due to low enrollment numbers.

year’s campaign.

“He’s had a really good offseason, works real hard and spent a long time throwing in the summer, went to team camp,” said Supple on Gray, a 6-foot, 175-pounder. “He’s been doing a good job.”

Max White, an athletic tight end/defensive end and Gavin Santjer-Goetz, a vocal leader who plays a solid halfback and defensive end, will also be go-to guys for the Kangs.

Undoubtedly, the key piece to the Kangs’ puzzle will be Gray, as he was

effective during the team’s two early victories last year against Garfield, 14-0, and Redmond, 39-17, before getting injured.

“My knee feels good, and I’m excited to see what we have this year,” Gray said.

“It’s a small group, but we have some good talent. We gotta play fast.”

Lake Washington did drop to the 2A classification for this season, due to enrollment numbers, which greatly improves the team’s chances to play in the postseason.

“We’re a 2A team and

Sammamish is a 2A team, so one of us is going to be in the 2A playoffs,” said Supple, adding that whichever team has the better league record will advance.

“That’s what our goal is, to be playing for something in November.”

Supple, who formerly coached as a defensive coordinator at Redmond and Eastlake High, maintained that his team’s key to success will be to go out and compete daily, regardless of the opponent.

Should the Kangs be fortunate enough to earn the

...obituaries Allen Francis Long

Allen Francis Long passed away gently at home in Kirkland on August 21, 2012, after gracefully enduring multiple health challenges. Born in Minneapolis, MN on January 22, 1922. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present to share his last days.

He grew up in Beaulieu, MN and graduated from Mahnomen High School. He attended St. Olaf College and North Dakota State. Enthralled with flight from an early age, Allen plucked turkeys to earn money for flying lessons.

At the earliest opportunity he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.

Initially rejected for being underweight, he passed on his second attempt after eating seven pounds of bananas. A P-38 fighter pilot, he flew 50 missions over Europe during WWII earning five air medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

After seeing a photo of a fellow pilot’s pretty sister, he finagled a meeting with Catherine (Betty) Nicholson. They were married in Chico, California and together raised three children. Following the war, Allen completed his education at the University of Washington, earning a degree in pharmacy.

After Betty’s death, Allen found love again and married Catherine (Kay) Skinner, becoming a father to her children.

Allen ran Long’s Federal Drug for many years on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill before relocating to Kirkland.

After retiring, Allen and Kay and their dog Shadow hit the road in their RV traveling widely throughout the United States. After Kay’s death, Allen found companionship with Jackie Carskadden who shared his love of dancing.They were known to practice in the kitchen because it had the best floor in the house. Allen was active in his church and a devoted member of the Queen Anne Masonic Lodge.

Predeceased by his parents Frank and Iva Long. He is survived by his sister, Margaret Johnson of Oak Harbor; brother David Long of Mountlake Terrace; children Janet (David) Sieberns of Tacoma and San Jose, CA, Richard Long of Elma, Jan (Brian) Berg of Tacoma, Judy Francis of Littlerock, Michael Tryon (Karen Honz) of Chelan, Jim Tryon (Karin Patterson) of Seattle and Bellingham, Steve (Gretchen) Tryon of Seattle, and Carol Grosely of Marysville. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

He was dearly loved, and will be missed by all.

A memorial service celebrating Allen’s life will take place at Rose Hill Presbyterian in Kirkland on Sept. 8 at 1:00pm. Memorials to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital appreciated.

What the 2012 Rebels may lack in size, they more than make up for in pure speed.

Leading the way in that regard is senior Kendrick Murphy, who was named “Punt Returner of the Year” in 3A Kingco and a first team all-league defensive honor.

Trayon McNairy is another first team all-league selection at linebacker, and returners Harley French (TE, LB) and Ty Griffith (WR, DB) look to be impact players on both sides of the ball.

“We feel really great about our skill positions,” Tarantola said. “Our running backs, receivers, quarterbacks, DBs, linebackers can fly around and make plays.”

For Juanita High head football coach Shaun Tarantola, the last couple years have been a tale of two seasons.

In 2010, the Rebels took full advantage of a talented group of transfers, made the state tournament for the first time since 1994, and finished with a 9-2 record.

Last season, the squad struggled to a 4-6 record, with three of those losses by one possession.

This year, the Rebels possess an incredible amount of speed and athleticism, as well as contributions from all four classes, which Tarantola is excited about.

“We’re looking really good, (with) a lot of guys coming back,” he noted.

“We’re really excited to have a lot of returning players in our senior class, but we have a lot of newcomers that are making an impact on Varsity. A lot of sophomores and even a couple freshmen are making an impact, and we’re excited about the combination of the two.”

his players, believes that the Rebels are capable of beating anyone, provided they stay healthy and play well, and Hilliker said that the team’s preparation in the weight room and on the field will give them the edge.

“The way we know we’ll finish strong this year is our conditioning,” said the 6-1, 180-pound senior. “We’ll beat teams in the fourth quarter because we’re the most conditioned out here… and we know we can outrun any team in the Kingco conference.”

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.
