irkland police are searching for the man who has robbed seven Kirkland businesses, with the most recent business hit on Saturday, as of the Reporter’s deadline.

The Chevron on Northeast 85th Street was the latest Kirkland business targeted. More than 20 other armed robberies have occurred since Oct. 21, 2012.

The robberies have spanned from Everett to Renton.

The man, who matches previous descriptions, took an undisclosed Police sketch of suspect amount of money from the Kirkland Chevron at around 11:20 a.m. on Jan. 16, but Lt. Mike Murray with the Kirkland Police Department speculates it was between $150-$200.

In each incident, the suspect is wearing gloves and displays a black handgun. The businesses robbed have included Subway restaurants, Baskin Robbins, various gas stations and coffee stands. The suspect demands money from the till and leaves on foot.

The suspect has been described as a white or Hispanic male ranging in age from 25-30 years old, 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, with a stocky build. He typically wears a stocking type hat with a hood pulled up and a bandana concealing the lower portion of his face.

Police believe that the suspect left the scene in a nearby staged getaway vehicle and may not be working alone.

A Bellevue native, Rob Butcher noticed the events taking place throughout the year when he frequented Kirkland to dine out.

“Events are wonderful things.

It’s what attracted me to Kirkland,” said Butcher, who is now a long-time Kirkland resident.

As city events boomed from 26 last year – including the first annual SummerFest event that Butcher spearheaded - to 33 events this year, Butcher discovered something.

“Unfortunately, events don’t fund themselves,” he said.

That’s why he and a group of about 20 passionate Kirkland residents formed the Kirkland Events Foundation this year. The nonprofit organization produces and promotes Kirkland events for the betterment of the Kirkland community. The foundation’s mission is to present festivals of art, music and entertainment that enrich the cultural and economic vitality of Kirkland.

“It is Kirkland residents producing Kirkland events for the benefit of Kirkland,” said Butcher.

He said the foundation will initially produce two events that will serve [ more EVENTS page 13 ]

At least 50 volunteers chose to spend their Martin Luther King Jr. Day giving back to the Kirkland community.

More than 20 volunteers with United Way gathered at the new Friends of Youth building located on Northeast 132nd Street to

help organize its donation storage room.

Lisa Keeney-McCarthy, president of United Way, said this was the first time United Way had dedicated a day of service within the company. Friends of Youth was chosen because much of the company’s business comes from the Eastside, despite its location in Seattle.

“Many people in our community continue to struggle even though we are seeing signs of economic recovery,” said Jared Erlandson, public relations manager for United Way. “Dr. King encouraged people to come together to help people in need and to strengthen our communities. The work these volunteers will accomplish

will make a very real and tangible difference in the lives of thousands.”

Friends of Youth delivers a broad range of services to youth and their families to improve their self-sufficiency.

Volunteers with the Green Kirkland Partnership also took time out of their day to help the environment at Carillon Woods park, located on 106th Avenue Northeast.

More than 30 children, teenagers and adults bundled up with gloves, boots and coats to remove invasive species, such as ivy and Himalayan blackberry bush, to make way for Washington’s native plants.

“It’s important because Himalayan blackberry takes over and kills our native plants and wildlife,” said Michaela Lovelady with Americorps.

Lovelady said animals maintain a better diet as volunteers replace the invasive species with the proper plants and vegetation.

fter a decade of work, King County and our regional partners have an unprecedented opportunity to provide transportation and recreational connections to our East and South King County communities. Stretching from Renton to Woodinville, in an area already confined geographically between water and mountains, the 42-mile Eastside Rail Corridor is a priceless public passageway. Now that its final acquisition has been completed, we must ensure that the region succeeds in maximizing its value and usage for the benefit of all King County residents.

Acquisition of the corridor means the possibility of creating a north-south public transportation corridor and turning a patchwork of dozens of small trails into a regional system connecting hundreds of miles of trail. Imagine riding light rail or a commuter train down this corridor and completely avoiding the snarling I-405 traffic. Imagine a future where you can not only bicycle east from the Burke-Gilman trail through serene farmlands and wine country, but continue north to the lovely Snohomish County trails or go south through the key economic centers and charming suburbs.

So, how do we fulfill this vision?

Acquisition of this corridor represents incredible partnerships between both public entities and public and private stakeholders. At King County, we have determined that a regional planning process will be critical for properly coordinating plans between the public and private entities that have a legal stake in the County’s portion of this corridor: King County, Sound Transit, the cities of Kirkland and Redmond, and Puget Sound Energy.

This regional group will create a work program

e and outreach process to acquire input from the public as well as all of the jurisdictions located along the corridor.

A key outcome will be coordination and cooperation of corridor use for the betterment of our community and the taxpayers who will contribute to all of the potential uses. After all, future funding to pay for trail, transit, and utility infrastructure will all come from the same taxpayers and ratepayers. So, let’s make sure that we keep those costs as low as possible through good coordination.

We are known as a region of highly educated and innovative people who provide for a vibrant local economy. Thanks to regional cooperation, we now have a flagship acquisition to underscore our regional image.

We are planting the seeds for unmatched regional transportation connections and recreational opportunities to meet future population growth throughout King County. Let’s work together on a plan for bringing to fruition a corridor of our collective dreams. Let’s ensure that our children and grandchildren will have a wonderful array of travel options through dense urban centers and beautiful open spaces.

Please join us in making this vision of the Eastside Rail Corridor a reality.

Don’t let your dog poop in the cemetery In early December, I went to the Kirkland Cemetery to put flowers on the grave of my mother and father.

It was a rainy and cold day but that didn’t matter, this was something I did every Christmas season. As I approached the gravesite I saw dog poop on my father’s head stone; it was extremely upsetting to me. There is a sign that says no dogs, that means your dog! You are at a cemetery, not your backyard.

Letter writer made erroneous conclusions about Potala Village Roger Lowe made several points accompanied by erroneous conclusions in a recent letter about the Potala Village project. His points, and the facts, are these: “My understanding of zoning law is that it provides rights and obligations and that they vest at the time a build-

ing permit is requested.” The developer of Potala Village has not filed an application for a building permit. City permit records indicate only that he and the city held two “pre-submittal meetings” in 2010 at which time he was given the conditions he would need to meet if he wanted to file an application for a building permit.

“Fairness and justice demand this.

You cannot change the zoning after an owner has made a proper effort to get a permit under the zoning and terms in effect at the time the permit was filed. Check with your lawyers.”

As noted, he has not “made a proper effort to get a permit.” With regard to “fairness and justice,” that cuts both ways. The citizens have an equal right in that regard. The problem is that the city passed an ordinance adopting our Comprehensive Plan, then the Planning Department failed to update the applicable section of the zoning code to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Citizens spent a huge amount of time helping produce that Comprehensive Plan, and expected the plan to be codified in zoning.

as a natural way, especially for people in our region, to connect with each other and hang out. It’s a catalyst more than anything else.”

Church members agree.

“It’s nice to have (a space) that’s not built around a commercial establishment,” said Catherine Smith, a regular host for the project.

“Once Camp Unity goes, we’re going to have to work hard to bring in neighbors.”

Camp Unity residents are set to move out in February.

Camp Unity has been providing coffee beans, Rutherford supplies the syrups and, so far, the project has amassed $350 in donations.

Rutherford says people don’t need to pay for the coffee but donations are always accepted.

“We are thankful if people are able to pay for what they normally pay for a cup of coffee, but if not, please still come and enjoy a cup with us,” Rutherford said.

Even though The Neighbor Project is still in its infancy, the thought of what it could be is not far from Rutherford’s thoughts. He hopes to build a sustainable model that would keep the project afloat, but also so that it can expand to other churches and organizations. Groups such as Camp Unity or Tent City 4 might also become an impetus for the project as they go from church to church.

“I’d be in favor of trying this every place we go,” said Steve Wiggins, the chief

operations officer for Camp Unity. “Each neighborhood has its own flavor, its own personality… whether this will work every place, I don’t know, but I think it’s a good idea to try.”

The Neighbor Project is hosted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday at Lake Washington United Methodist Church, located at 7525 132nd Ave. N.E., Kirkland.

Booming multimedia experience enhances new gym’s classes

BY ALYSSA KEEHN UW News Lab

Bassline Fitness is settling into its first month of business on Central Way in downtown Kirkland and so far, seems to be a great fit.

The innovative fitness studio is the latest creation of workout guru Dave Fox and his wife, Angela, a Seattle native and former professional model.

Having owned his own gyms since 1995, Fox is no novice in the fitness game. He has created and operated gyms from coast to coast in the last 18 years: from fitness facilities in San Francisco and Portland to yoga studios in Charleston, S.C. A decision to move closer to extended family has brought the couple and their three children to greater Seattle.

Fox’s wife has enjoyed a long professional modeling career closely tied with

fitness. She has graced the cover of Health magazine and has traveled around the world for commercial work.

She is a certified Spinning and Barre instructor and teaches the Lean 425 class at the studio.

In a city that’s arguably more health-conscious than most, Bassline’s classes have really seemed to resonate with Kirkland clients since its opening in December.

The group synergy that builds within the gym’s high-tech studio rooms creates a user experience that is both music-driven and appears to be fun.

“It’s not like you’re just clogging along on the treadmill for an hour listening to your own headphones,” Kirkland resident and new Bassline Fitness member Lisa Fakes said.

“The videos keep you interested,” added her husband, Tom Fakes, referring to the music videos projected on two 180-inch

screens at the front of the main studio’s wall.

Fox’s biggest challenge so far has been “getting people to understand what we’re doing” because it is unique.

Bassline fills 4,200 square feet and is comprised of two studio rooms, as well as a child-care facility for class members.

The larger studio houses Fox’s signature MashUp group exercise class, which allows gym-goers to alternate between 40 spinning bikes, 12 non-motorized treadmills and 10 Krankcycles — all while three subwoofers and impressive visual enticements keep the class operating on the same beat and rhythm.

The adjacent studio is home to Lean 425, a class that focuses on weight training and resistance intervals for those looking to tone up while using a variety of novel workout equipment.

Fox preaches time ef-

Kirkland mayor welcomes Savrika Tea to downtown Kirkland Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride officially welcomed Savrika Tea into the Kirkland community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday.

Monday marked the four-month anniversary of the business, located at 115 Kirkland Ave. The owner, Rupa Dalal Gadre, greeted Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce members, customers, and her immediate family, and remarked how much she appreciated being welcomed into the Kirkland community. She expressed her idea of having a serene space where customers could sit and sip on fine tea and get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, if even for a short time.

Savrika Tea has seen its customer base grow every week and loves seeing its repeat customers who have become part of the Savrika family. An alternative to the traditional coffee shop, Savrika Tea offers more than 190 varieties of premium loose-leaf teas, tea accesso-

Kindergarten registration begins Feb. 7 For parents in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) whose children will be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31, it is time for kindergarten registration.

Registration will take place at neighborhood schools, beginning Feb. 7 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

To register their child, parents should bring proof of the child’s birth date such as a birth certificate or passport, the child’s health history, including current immunizations and emergency contact information.

LWSD offers half-day kindergarten for all children

in the district. At times, the district may need to transport students to a school other than their neighborhood school due to enrollment levels. If that happens, a lottery will be held Feb. 13 to determine which students will be affected.

Most schools in the district offer an all-day kindergarten program as well. The district must charge tuition for the all-day program. The state pays for half-day kindergarten; parents of all-day kindergarten students pay for the other half of the day. Tuition for 2012-13 was $3,300, but the fee is subject to change. The 2012-2013 tuition for those who qualify for a reduced fee was $1,180. The fee was $650 for those who qualify for free lunch. All fees are subject to change.

The conciseness of the workouts doesn’t make them any less sweat-inducing, however.

“My classes are going to be a challenge,” Fox said, “and that’s the kind of clientele that I want to attract. I want someone who wants to come to me and get better, and get stronger, and kind of gets swept up in it. I push and I want them to try just a little harder.”

The layout of both MashUp and Lean 425 classes allows gym-goers of all fitness levels to push themselves—whether that’s by simply breaking a sweat or by spinning at a higher resistance level than ever before.

Bassline has a strong social media relationship all-day kindergarten will need to bring their checkbook as they will be asked to pay for the first month of kindergarten at the time of registration. Arrangements can be made for automatic withdrawals from parents’ bank accounts for monthly payments during the next school year.

If more than 22 children register for all-day kindergarten classes, a lottery will be held on Feb. 13 to determine the students in those classes.

Parents will be able to register their children for kindergarten after Feb. 7, up through the beginning of the 2013-14 school year. However, they are less likely to be able to get into an all-day kindergarten class and may be more likely to have their child assigned to a different school.

For more information, visit lwsd.org/Parents/ Student-Registration/kindergarten-registration.

On Feb. 5 the Kirkland City Council will continue their consideration of a petition signed by more than 350 Kirkland residents asking that they pass a local resolution declaring their support for a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s infamous “Citizens United” ruling that, in essence, results in treating corporations as persons and equates money with free speech.

Democracy is consequently being sold to the highest bidder. Normal citizens with limited incomes and strict restrictions on their campaign donations have no chance of effectively competing with the enormous amounts of money that large corporations have been able to contribute to election campaigns.

Public disclosure of donations would be helpful, but cannot possibly create a level playing field allowing free speech of an individual to compete with the expensive media ads created by corporations. It will not stop corporations and PACs from creating smear campaigns or ads that are untrue or intentionally deceptive.

Concerned about gay marriage and adoption Whenever one comments about the homosexual lifestyle, the pejorative responses I received are not unusual.

However, as a retired doctor, I assure the very gentle men that I am neither ignorant nor silly. I became concerned about the gay marriage/adoption issue not only by the television emphasis with children, but by an informative article in a local newspaper describing the lack of screening for HIV/AIDS. That reference to the article was deleted from my published letter, but it should be read by those concerned about the disease. It should be obvious that the state of Washington must not order children to live with infected persons who may then infect the children and condemn them to a life of expensive medical treatments, pain and worse. A simple blood test can prevent it. All parents know that raising a child inevitably involves exchanging bodily fluids. It is definitely not “in the best interest of the child” if the parent has HIV/AIDS. In discussing this with my son who treats infected children in his medical practice, he made a valid suggestion that the law should also prohibit placing children in foster homes where the providers are positive for the disease. For the sake of the innocent children, I hope that the homosexual

Edward Bell, Kirkland

Kirkland approves Potala for 143 units The City of Kirkland Planning director recently approved the Potala Village shoreline permit for 143 units and fewer parking spaces. So this is the shoreline permit and not the building permit. The Planning director did a good job making sure the developer knows he must still meet all zoning code requirements, etc. But there is much that is concerning about what could still happen since 143 units were approved AND EVEN MORE CONCERNING is less parking will be required!

The Planning director did a very good job with a couple things. First, he made sure to let the developer know that this is only a decision on the shoreline permit, which is an “overlay” on top of all zoning and other Kirkland policies that will still have to be met when a building permit is submitted.

Also, at first glance it appears that the concern about contaminated soils may be pretty well addressed as the remediation and oversight seems mandatory. The concern here is that the city picks out who does the oversight and the neighbors have previously been concerned because those chosen for oversight of things were part of an “inner-circle” and the oversight seemed more like a rubber stamp. Let’s hope this time we have someone quite objective!

The owners of a dog who ran into the woods following a car accident in Kirkland Jan. 11 are searching for their dog, Mandy.

The black flat-coated retriever ran off after the car she was in was involved in a collision in the Finn Hill neighborhood. That LOST accident resulted in the dog owner’s car crashing into gas pumps at the 76 gas station. The car caught fire and Mandy’s owner was injured.

The community has organized a search for the dog.

Jim Branson of Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue offers the following advice: • People are certainly welcome to go out searching for Mandy at any time.

The more people who look, the better, as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.

• Don’t call Mandy’s

name. She won’t come to you if you call her under normal circumstances, and she certainly won’t come to you now. Calling her name will probably cause her to run further away.

• If someone tells you they’ve seen Mandy, get as many details as possible, including contact information so Branson can call this person back. The search effort has been hampered by the inability to get details such as time of day, direction of travel, did she still have a harness, etc.

• If you see Mandy, ignore her, accidentally drop some food or treats, and walk away. Keep her in sight from a distance, and call Branson at 206-5520304. He will arrange for the dog owner to come to that location as soon as possible.

For more information, email Branson at jim@3retrievers.com or call 206-552-0304.

go to Olympia, and our Legislature can ensure that Washington state can be the 12th state to send a resolution to the U.S. Congress to amend the Constitution to protect our democratic processes. “One man, one vote” should not be usurped by “many dollars, many votes.”

exceptionally well-thought, well-documented process to resolve this matter. Government entities prevail in the vast majority of land use cases in the state of Washington. The surprise here is that the developer thinks he can beat those odds.

When Mr. Lowe says, “I have followed the Potala Village story in the Kirkland Reporter and now the Seattle Times,” I believe he would have a completely different perspective if he were a more active participant, like the dozen or so leaders who represent the 800-plus involved citizens. This team has spent thousands of hours understanding the history of zoning and planning related to this issue and appreciate immensely that our city leaders have finally faced the music, done the right thing, and are willing to defend this matter in court, rather than be walked over by a clever developer.

Finally, to the likely surprise of most readers, nearly everyone opposed to the Potala development, including several developers, are pro-development. We look forward to this property being developed responsibly and will support anyone with plans to do so.

loopholes and such obscure language that regulation enforcement is virtually impossible, and funding is woefully lacking to enforce the rules.

Individuals can’t pay for lobbyists, and when corporations invest their assets to influence political outcomes favorable to the corporations, stockholders are seldom allowed to vote on these huge donations. He who has the gold rules, a sad day in America and a serious threat to democracy.

Corporations do not have the responsibilities of citizenship, cannot be prosecuted, jailed or executed in the same way as natural born persons, and live far beyond the lifespan of natural born persons.

Corporations should not be granted the same rights as human citizens. The word corporation does not occur in the Constitution. Unelected, unaccountable judges chose to give corporations their rights.

The 14th Amendment says that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States …” (Read the whole amendment at wikipedia. org) Corporations are NOT born or naturalized in the way that real human beings are. Corporations are merely legal entities.

The way that corporations are structured separates humans from their actions.

This destroys responsibility and hijacks decision-making.

Corporations are required by law to make money at any cost, making them dangerous to people and to democracy.

Corporations have no mind, no conscience, and exist to amass money. Human beings think and make choices based on ethical considerations that protect family and community.

Corporations should NOT be considered to be “persons” or given an equal voice in a democracy.

Free speech comes out of the mouths of living, breathing persons. To pretend that using vast sums of money to promote a corporation’s vested interest is equal to free speech of a human citizen in a democracy is ludicrous.

I urge Kirkland residents to call or email City Council members no later than Jan. 30 to encourage them to join with more than 300 municipalities in the U.S. who have already passed local resolutions declaring that corporations are NOT persons and money is NOT free speech.

Email citycouncil@kirklandwa.gov or call 425-5873001.

Parkplace Books will host a book release party for author Lisa Murphy and her second novel, “The Wyrmstone,” from 3-6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at 348 Parkplace Center.

The event will include a live performance of old-time music by artists Murphy & Middaugh. The musicians frequently play at the Urban Coffee Lounge in Kirkland.

Pastel artist Denise Hastings and photographers Lois Farrington and Janice Lovelace will also display some of their art during the event.

Murphy’s second novel, “The Wyrmstone” is an adult/ teen novel and a magical realism tale about teen role-playing gamers trying to survive in a world in which their game, Age of Dragons, has come to life in Seattle.

Because much of the book is told from the point of view of an older sister trying to parent these youths, the book would also appeal to parents whose high school students are obsessed with “elves and dragons fantasy gaming.”

Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) recently received $10,000 from Puget Sound Energy Foundation to support the development of an emergency operations center for the college.

An operation center works as a centralized communications command post for police, fire, campus security and any other agency involved in a campus-wide emergency such as a fire, hostage situation, shooting, gas leak, or other life-threatening situation.

With the funding, LWIT’s security department will purchase a base radio, dedicated hand-held radios, a generator capable of operating emergency communications equipment, lighting for a communications center and a locking portable equipment cart that can secure all vital emergency operation center equipment and allow for set up of an operation center anywhere on campus.

The college plans to have the equipment in place by the end of January.

VOLUNTEERS

V

olunteering gets in your blood! It is something you do, a part of what you are as an individual, as someone who cares about others, and someone who wants to make a difference in our community and world.

It is making yourself available.

It’s an attitude - a part of your being.

I’m glad I’m a volunteer. This time, “think city.”

I found a number of additional ways for us to provide volunteers to the city! Imagine that.

An important part of the city government’s policy-making process is its various boards and commissions, which advise the council on vital public policy matters.

Recruitments start generally in February or as needed. Positions on all boards and commissions

as the nonprofit’s “engine” to boost economic support for other local events. This includes the Kirkland SummerFest – a two-day celebration of art, music and culture in August – and the Kirkland Oktoberfest event, which is new to the city this year.

When Butcher and other volunteers created SummerFest last year, they looked at other events in the region.

“We visited two dozen festivals last year, studying how the business models work in preparation to build our Kirkland Events Foundation and run things like a business,” he said.

The group discovered that there were business models that they could adapt to Kirkland, including the Oktoberfest event in Leavenworth that funds other city events throughout the year.

“It’s a great model in that one type of event will fund all those community events that can’t fund themselves,” said Butcher. “So we’re all about keeping things always running in the black and figuring out how we can be sustainable because events in town right now are not sustainable. The city council is dealing with these issues right now and we’re well aware of that.”

Organizers struggle to fund events Recent budget reductions have severely curtailed the amount of annual city funding available for events, according to a report presented at the city’s Jan. 2 meeting.

Although cities like Redmond and Issaquah have significant event budgets that pay for cityproduced events, Kirkland does not produce any of its own events.

Event organizers also continue to request city funding, even though the city eliminated a General Fund allocation for events, the report continues.

The Kirkland Events Foundation will partner with the Greater Kirkland Chamber

Contact Jeremy McMahan at (425) 587-3229.

• The Houghton Community Council is constituted differently and has a slightly different mission than city advisory boards and commissions.

This body exercises both advisory and approval authority over most matters related to zoning regulations and land use within the Houghton area.

No other board or commission in the city exercises jurisdictional authority. Contact Nancy Cox at (425) 587-3228.

• The Human Services Advisory Committee reviews funding requests from human services providers, and prepares recommendations to the council regarding funding of the city’s Human Services Program.

Contact Sharon Anderson, Human Services coordinator, at (425)

of Commerce and the Kirkland Downtown Association, which produce various events.

Last year, the downtown association received $2,700 in proceeds from SummerFest, which netted nearly $20,000. Funds will support the association’s many events, including the annual 4th of July parade and fireworks, Summer Concert Series, Kirkland Classic Car Show and holiday tree lighting.

Oktoberfest’s beneficiary will be the Chamber.

Bruce Wynn, executive director of the Kirkland Chamber, says the organization strongly supports the Kirkland Events Foundation.

“Kirkland Downtown Association events at best break even,” noted Wynn. “They are completely dependent on volunteers. The Kirkland Events Foundation pays its staff and focuses on fund raising, freeing up the Chamber and Kirkland Downtown Association to focus on fewer events. If they are successful, other (downtown association) events that are less successful with fund raising will have access to surplus funds generated by SummerFest and OktoberFest.”

Santos Contreras, who is on the foundation’s board, says the foundation’s goal is all about keeping money from events in Kirkland.

“Kirkland is a whole new city now – we’re much bigger and there’s a lot of stuff going on all year ‘round,” said Contreras, noting each year kicks off with the Polar Bear Plunge and ends with the downtown tree lighting event. “What we stand for is nonprofit, Kirkland events put on by Kirkland people for the benefit of Kirkland organizations. I would almost call that our mantra.”

The foundation also supports events throughout the year with co-marketing and other services. In addition, the foundation also funded a centralized database to help manage event volunteers. The database is available on the foundation’s website.

Oktoberfest oom-pah-pah and more So why Oktoberfest?

“Oktoberfest is something that a lot of us have always enjoyed and why travel for twoand-a-half hours over to Leavenworth for your oom-pah-pah when you can have it right here on the waterfront,” said Butcher.

The Kirkland Events Foundation will hold the event from Sept. 27-29 at Marina Park.

Oktoberfest will feature traditional German music, German beers, brats, wiener dog races and family-friendly activities, such as pumpkin carving contests, rides and bouncy toys.

Butcher says the foundation is open to the community’s ideas for any of the events they produce.

Foundation board members also have their eyes set on big plans for the future. While they haven’t announced plans for other events yet, Butcher hints at some potential events.

“If one were to do a search of domain names, one might come up with about 20 domain names that start with ‘Kirkland’ and end in ‘fest’ and fill in everything but banana in the middle,” he laughs.

Future foundation events could include anything from a Kirkland Ciderfest, to a Jazzfest or Winterfest, he says.

“Everything you can imagine,” said Butcher.

“We’re also looking into broadening the reach of events, so they’re not just all in downtown, but will reach out to Totem Lake or in Juanita… where, to date, not a lot of events have taken full advantage of them. So that’s a great opportunity in the future.”

Lawmaker puts emphasis on continuing education for engineers Keeping up with the latest advances in one’s field simply makes excellent common sense, especially in fields packing a potentially huge impact on public health, safety and peace of mind.

State Rep. Derek Stanford (D-Bothell), who represents the 1st Legislative District, maintains that licensed engineers should continue learning just like other professionals who are licensed by the state, such as architects and land surveyors.

“Continuing professional development is a basic and very important requirement for many professions,” Stanford emphasized.

Stanford is prime-sponsoring House Bill 1231, a measure that would bring licensed engineers in Washington up to the same level as 40 other states by requiring 15 hours per year of continuing professional development.

Currently, a professional engineer’s license in Washington can be renewed forever simply by paying the renewal fee.

For a timely example of why the continuing-education requirements in the bill are so very needed, one need look no further than the recently reported leaking-pontoon problems with the under-construction new Interstate 520 bridge.

The bill was scheduled for a hearing last Wednesday in the House Business and Financial Services Committee.

The measure will likely come up for a vote in the committee next week.

Recognizing his resolve to keep running, the EvergreenHealth team developed a comprehensive aftercare plan incorporating regular care from a cardiologist, neurologist and a team of pharmacists at the EvergreenHealth Anticoagualtion Clinic to keep Knakal healthy for the long-term and allow him to continue training for future marathons.

Today, Knakal is celebrating his personal record-setting Seattle Marathon performance, which he managed to achieve just one month after suffering his attack.

He continues to undergo additional testing and treatment by his multi-disciplinary team to prevent future incidents.

them scientifically, warns Dr. Robert R. Provine, professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Maryland, Baltimore and author of “Laughter: A Scientific Investigation.”

It’s difficult to determine cause and effect when it comes to understanding what laughter actually does, he says in an interview with WebMD. “But we all know that laughing, being with friends and family, and being happy can make us feel better and give us a boost – even though studies may not show why,” he concludes.

P.S. If you liked this article, you may also enjoy watching the movie “Patch Adams” (1998) with Robin Williams, which is based on the true story of a medical student trying to improve hospital patients’ quality of life through humor.

physical kind. A recent study conducted at the University of Oxford, England, found that belly laughs caused the body to release endorphins, which act like opiates by inducing emotional calm and enhancing an overall sense of well-being.

During my internship as a clinical dietitian, I observed these effects more than once.

I distinctly remember one occasion around Mardi Gras when a nurse dressed up in a clown costume and tried her best to cheer up patients, some of whom were desperately ill.

That night, the nursing staff reported having dispensed significantly less pain medication than on other days. The laughter in response to the nurse’s performance worked just like a painkiller.

Even if you are not seriously ill but just feel a bit run down, laughing can be good medicine for you, says R. Morgan Griffin, who writes for WebMD. We change physiologically when we laugh, she says, our blood pressure goes up and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen through our system – “like a mild workout.” Laughing may actually offer similar benefits as physical exercise.

Other possible side effects of laughter include stress relief, sounder sleep, better blood sugar regulation and strengthening of the immune system.

As plausible as some of these claims about the health benefits of laughter may sound, it is hard to prove any of

HEALTHY LIVING

t feels good to laugh once in a while. Everyone knows that.

But laughter as a healthpromoting exercise is not as widely practiced, despite of the fact that scientists have long known about the healing effects of good humor.

In his best-selling book, “Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient” (W.W. Norton & Co., 1979), Norman Cousins describes his own recovery from a life-threatening disease, which he credits in large parts to laughter.

What at first sounds like a good story – man cures himself by watching funny movies – is in fact an account of what scientists call the “natural recuperative mechanism” of the body, also known as “homeostatic response,” meaning that the body is able to heal itself and return to a state of normalcy from injuries suffered at a time of illness.

Of course, proper medical care can support and accelerate the natural healing process, but recovery almost always also depends on the body’s own defense mechanisms.

Among these defenses is the patient’s state of mind. In Cousins’s case, it seemed that a positive attitude and specifically a great sense of humor helped him muster the inner resources needed to overcome his ailments.

This, obviously, is a dramatic and rare example of the potential benefits of positive thinking.

More common are reports that laughter has helped ease pain and suffering, not just the mental but also the

Last fall, Mill Creek resident and avid marathoner Jeff Knakal experienced a sudden weakness on the right side of his body and had difficulty speaking. His wife recognized the symptoms as signs of a stroke, and called 911. When he arrived at the EvergreenHealth Medical Center emergency department, the hospital’s award-winning team of stroke specialists got to work to diagnose the cause of the otherwise healthy man’s symptoms.

Knakal was acutely attuned to his own body. As a veteran runner who logs hundreds of miles per year, he was in exceptional physical health and was in the midst of training for the New York Marathon, then just one week away, when he was sidelined by the attack.

“I went from training for a marathon to spending the night in the hospital and had no idea what put me there,” said 52-year-old Knakal.

EvergreenHealth’s emergency stroke treatment team, which relies on the collaboration of doctors across a range of specialties from emergency care to neurology, cardiology and hospitalist medicine, quickly intervened to treat his symptoms and identify the cause as a TIA, or transient ischemic attack – essentially a stroke

that resolves, but is a serious warning that another stroke may happen again.

Though his stroke symptoms quickly resolved on their own, diagnostic tests performed by his multi-disciplinary team revealed a heart condition that contributed to the TIA and put Knakal at greater risk for a stroke in the future. He is among the 20 percent of Americans who have a condition called patent foramen ovale – a hole between the sides of his heart. It’s also likely that genetics played a factor – his doctors identified an increase in his cholesterol, despite his active lifestyle.

Within mere hours, EvergreenHealth’s specialists helped Knakal understand why he had the attack, and the lifestyle and medication changes he needed to make to prevent future strokes.

“My doctors understood me, not just my symptoms.

In such a scary moment, that made all the difference,” said Knakal.
