Federal court dismisses Cross Kirkland Corridor lawsuit

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

After more than a month of litigation, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed a motion for a temporary restraining order for the removal of rails at the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

The city of Kirkland planned on removing the rails along the 5.75

mile corridor in April to be replaced by gravel for an interim trail. But plans came to a halt when the city was met with a lawsuit from a Ballard railroad company.

On May 3, Judge Marsha Pechman denied the Ballard Terminal Railroad Company’s lawsuit against the city and stated that federal court lacks the jurisdiction to order an

injunctive relief of rail removal. Instead, she ruled the Surface Transportation Board (STB) holds the authority to hear the injunctive relief that would alter their 2008 Notice of Interim Trail Use (NITU) agreement.

“This is one very good

step,” said Mayor Joan McBride. “This is good news for Kirkland.”

Lawyers representing the Ballard Terminal Railroad Company, LLC and partner in the lawsuit, the Eastside Community Rail, LLC, claimed their reasons for going to federal court was

that the city was facing counts “that involved an action arising under” U.S. laws, specifically the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act (ICCTA) of 1995.

The railroad company’s request for a temporary restraining order was to keep the city from removing the rails and other materials until the STB has made a decision on

Ballard’s pending petitions. One petition is an appeal that seeks the right to reactivate rail service along the Woodinville to Bellevue rail line “for the public interest of removing trucks and promoting commerce with new freight business.” The other is a request that the STB order the transfer of the rail assets along the [ more LAWSUIT page 5 ]

Sound Transit driver claims brakes failed

BY MATT PHELPS Kirkland Reporter

A car accident involving a Sound Transit bus and an SUV left two dead Monday night at an Interstate 405 Kirkland exit.

Robert H. Rotta, 76, died at the scene when the bus, exiting northbound 405 in the carpool lane, slammed into the 2010 Ford Escape he was in while driving on Northeast 128th Street overpass, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Elizabeth E. Rotta, 75, who was also in the SUV, died from her injuries early Tuesday morning at an area hospital.

A third passenger in the SUV, Kirkland resident Kendall L. Rotta, 51, was transported to Harborview Medical Center with

undisclosed injuries. All three were wearing their seat belts.

There has been no conformation of the relation between the passengers in the SUV; however, other news outlets reported the deceased were married and their son was driving.

Passengers on the bus called 911 at around 9:30 p.m. to report the bus had hit an SUV, according to Washington State Patrol trooper Julie Judson. Some of the bus riders were reported to have injuries.

“One was transported [to the hospital] but the rest had minor injuries and were treated at the scene,” Judson said.

The bus, a 2008 Gillig, finally came to a stop on the carpool on-ramp to [ more CRASH page 2 ]

NAMI Walk in Kirkland draws support for mental illness

BY MEREDITH BARRETT Special to the Reporter

Travis Miner was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder when he was in his early 20s.

Since then, he has used his disability as a chance to educate others about mental illness in hope of normalizing something that many people, even today, are afraid of.

Minor and others speak at local high

schools and colleges to share their stories about mental illness as part of a program called In Our Own Voice. The program is funded by the Washington chapter of the NAMI. “It makes me feel good to be there helping them learn about something that may be affecting someone that they know or someone in their family,” said Miner, who has

been involved for two years.

This year, Kirkland will host Washington’s NAMI Walk to show support for those who have or know someone with a mental illness.

NAMI provides many resources, including free courses for people with mental illness, as well as for families who have loved ones with a disability. Miner said Peer

to Peer, a 10-week free program designed for people with mental illnesses, allows people to connect and learn from each other.

NAMI also coordinates various support groups for those who have a disorder. From knitting to walking, NAMI facilitates bonds and friendship between people.

“We are still standing by to find out the results of the vehicle inspection,” Judson said.

Judson said that she could at around 8 p.m.

A stool near the window and a suicide note indicated the death was likely a suicide, said Kirkland police officer Audra Weber, however she noted the case is still under investigation.

The Medical Examiner’s office will rule the woman’s cause of death in the near future.

The Reporter’s policy is not to report on suicides unless it is made public.

Join QFC at Komen Puget Sound for the Cure This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. Great strides have been made in the fight against breast cancer during those 20 years, but the fight is not over.

Advances in research, detection and treatment have saved thousands of lives and Komen has in some way touched every major breast cancer advance in the last 30-plus years. There is still more to be done and QFC is committed to helping continue the important work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

The Komen organization is QFC’s charity of the month for May. On June 2nd, QFC will also be the presenting sponsor of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®. This great event brings together thousands of runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-filled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health

education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help.

This support is critically important because despite the many advances that have taken place, over 200,000 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. One of every eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 95% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the U.S. occur in women over 40. However, the good news is that the 5-year survival rate for women who have had their breast cancer diagnosed before it spread beyond the breast is 99%. This is up from 74% in 1982.

25% of the funds that are raised through local events like the Puget Sound event are used to fund a wide range of research.

There are over 750 ongoing projects in the U.S. and many other countries. The research focuses on using current knowledge to discover new ways to reduce risk, identify cancer cells at earlier and earlier

stages when treatment is most effective, develop new treatments and ultimately to prevent breast cancer altogether. Research funding has been provided to a wide variety of college graduates, doctoral studies graduates and established scientists and doctors, including to three Nobel Prize winners. Research applications are rigorously peer reviewed by clinical and scientific experts and trained advocates.

If you would like to join QFC in supporting the valuable work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, one way would be to join us and thousands of others at the Race for the Cure on June 2, 2013, at

Seattle Center. Information on signing up can be found online at komenpugetsound.org.

A second way to support the organization is to donate at our checkstands. We have donation scan cards in $1, $5, and $10 amounts and also change jars for your spare change. We thank our generous customers for their great support and joining with us to support a truly worthy organization.

Rep. Hunter talks Washington State budget issues

G

overnor Inslee has called the Legislature back in special session next week to finish work on the budget. In January, most observers agreed we had three main issues to address: 1. Balance the budget over both two and four years complying with our four-year balanced budget requirement.

2. Fund the K-12 educational improvements called for by the state Supreme Court in the 2012 McCleary decision without making cuts our citizens don’t support.

3. Implement the expansion of Medicaid called for by Obamacare, covering nearly 300,000 additional Washingtonians largely at federal expense.

When fully implemented in 2018, the K-12 improvement called for by McCleary will move us from the bottom 10 percent of states in fundingper-student to about the middle of the pack. The Joint Task Force on Education Funding estimated the cost of meeting the new funding requirements will be an additional $4.5 billion per two-year budget by 2018.

The plan includes lowering class size in kindergarten through third grade, all-day kindergarten, increases in instructional time in middle and high school, and paying for the regular operating costs of schools with state money instead of depending on local taxpayers for things like transportation, materials, supplies and compensation for staff the state says the district needs to hire.

The Medicaid expansion will cover nearly 300,000 additional Washingtonians, and the state will actually save $250 to $300 million in the next two years. More people will be covered, it will be easier and cheaper for small businesses to cover their employees, and our hospitals will have much less uncompensated care. It’s a good deal for taxpayers, a good deal for individuals, and a good deal for the state.

The House Democrats and Senate Republicans each have budget proposals and we’re currently engaged in serious negotiations. The House proposal calls for closing a few tax loopholes that our performance audit committee believes are no longer justified and extending some existing taxes, putting every dime of that money toward the new K-12 funding required by the Supreme Court.

We feel it’s important to maintain our current safety net for at-risk children, the elderly and the disabled and make modest improvements in a few places, like our troubled mental health system.

The Senate Republicans have taken a different approach, demanding that no new revenue be adopted - even common-sense things like fixing a problem in our estate tax caused by a change in federal law that makes single people pay but lets married couples off, or an industry-supported modernizing of our telecom taxes.

That demand results in unacceptable cuts in services that people depend on. Some of their reductions are petty and overtly partisan, like a 31 percent cut to the general fund allocation to the Rep. Ross Hunter

court system, and cutting half of Ecology’s general fund. The use of questionable techniques, such as absurdly high savings estimates for policies that will be difficult to administer, unconstitutional transfers, and hidden cuts that will only show up later will only result in endless special sessions to fix self-inflicted problems.

But, unlike the other Washington, we actually talk to each other and find common ground.

Even with all the challenges, I look forward to working with my Senate Republican counterparts to negotiate a budget that meets the basic goals of our Washington: It’s fair, balanced, meets our educational investment requirements, and doesn’t depend on tricks that won’t wind up working out.

The other Washington hasn’t adopted a balanced budget since the Clinton administration nor any budget at all in the last four years. In this Washington we’ve managed it every year since 1889, and will get it done this year as well.

Ticket trap by Evergreen is disrespectful It was so gratifying to read Ms. Caldwell’s letter in the May 3 Kirkland Reporter. I’ve been wondering for the past year if I am the only victim of the ticket trap over by Evergreen Hospital who minds being ambushed, robbed and slandered by the city of Kirkland and the Kirkland police.

Do other citizens really think that it is OK for the city to set out a couple of cleverly and, according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, illegally placed No Right Turn On Red signs so that unsuspecting drivers will be enticed into “breaking the law” so that the police can then hand out huge fines to people who have done virtually nothing wrong?

The answer to her query

Investors are influencing how we will consume food in the future

I

by Vinod Khosla, a former CEO of Sun Microsystems, for example, has spent seed money on half a dozen food-related startups, especially the kind that seek to improve manufacturing methods in terms of nutritional quality and environmental impact.

One of Khosla’s beneficiaries is Hampton Creek Foods,a food technology company based in San Francisco that has developed a plant-based egg substitute. The idea is to give food manufacturers an alternative to using regular eggs in their products. “Beyond Eggs,” as they call their invention, can not only help to cut costs because it’s cheaper than eggs, it’s also safer and does not involve cruelty to

Like Tetrick, his financial backers see a future in food safety and sustainability issues.“Part of the reason you’re seeing all these V.C.’s get interested in this is the food industry is not only massive, but like the energy industry, it is terribly broken in terms of its impact on the environment, health, animals,” he says.

Small startups are in a better position to come up with alternative solutions.

Big food will have a much harder time in the area of innovation. “I wouldn’t bet my money that Cargill or ConAgra are going to innovate here,” said Samir Kaul, a partner at Khosla, to the New York Times.

Not all investors in food-related startups want to get involved with the manufacturing side of the business, which is consid-

ered complex and not as profitable. Many are more comfortable with serviceoriented ideas like how to better connect fledgling enterprises with customers through new technologies.

But the field is widening.

Of course, food companies have enjoyed backing from risk-taking venture capitalists in the past.

Starbucks, P.F. Chang’s and Jamba Juice, all dominating in their respective markets now, could not have gotten off the ground without help from their early investors.

But what seems different with this latest trend is that it takes place in a climate of changing consumer behavior. More than ever, people want to know what goes into their food, whom they can trust, how their choices affect their personal wellbeing as well as the environment. They

Kirkland removes the rail before the reactivation decision,” said Montgomery, who added the Ballard railroad company wants to keep with the “status quo” until the STB decision is made.

Nevertheless, Triplett thinks the city will be able to make their case with the STB, noting one big argument will be that the two railroad companies that want to reactivate rail use on their Snohomish to Woodinville line still need $6 million from the state to get started, which has been a cause of frustration from the city.

“Get your first phase in order, then come talk to us,” said Triplett, referring to the railroad companies.

“In the mean time, we’re moving on with our plans.”

However, Triplett stressed that if an injunc-

rail line to Ballard at net liquidation value.

The STB is expected to make their reactivation decision by January 18, 2014.

“The removal of the city’s rail assets along the Woodinville to Bellevue line will deal a severe blow to restoration of rail service,” wrote Lisa Miller, a paralegal with Montgomery Scarp, who represented the Ballard railroad company. “The removal of the rail assets along the city’s segment of track will also result in the loss of the opportunity for Ballard to expand the market for its rail transportation services in the area, and other irreparable harm.”

But city officials, who have tried to work with the company to discuss a phased approach, disagree.

“They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too,” said city manager Kurt Triplett. “[They’re saying] ‘the rail is so valuable that we cannot have an economically viable freight line without it,’ and yet it’s ‘so valuable we want it turned over to us … but at bargain prices.’”

The federal court backed up the city’s argument that the railroad company’s complaint could not be heard in federal court because the STB’s NITU decision had already authorized salvage of the tracks and ties along the lines upon rail removal. Challenges to that order, which was

Laying hens in industrial egg farms are confined to small wire cages that afford each a space smaller than a sheet of letter-sized paper. That’s not only hard on the hens but also increases the risk of disease outbreaks like Avian Flu and salmonella poisoning, says Josh Tetrick, the company’s founder and CEO. And in terms of costs, industrial egg production is not sustainable either, he says. The reason egg prices keep rising is that laying hens require enormous quantities of feed to generate this many eggs. “It’s an outdated and inefficient system that is a breeding ground for food-borne bacterial illnesses.”

f you want to know how food will be manufactured, distributed and consumed tomorrow, just follow the money.

Venture capital firms in Silicon Valley and elsewhere have begun shifting their almost exclusive focus on high-tech startups to more mundane enterprises such as food producers and food sellers. Is the food trade turning into the next gold rush? Maybe not right away. But there are developments on the horizon that will possibly change the food industry as we know it.

Last year, venture capitalists have reportedly poured over $350 million into startup companies that deal in one way or another with food. That’s a sevenfold increase from 2008.

Teacher Gregg McDonald with RHS explained their program will focus on the policies, problems and solutions surrounding global health.

“The social studies content of the program will involve an examination of the social, political and cultural issues facing medical professionals globally, using a problem-based model,” he said. “Students might investigate what cultural challenges have impacted vaccination efforts in parts of Africa and the Middle East and develop a plan for how best these challenges can be overcome.”

Rebecca Townsend, a teacher at JHS, looks forward to partnering with Evergreen Health Medical Center to bring real world applications of global health that aren’t available in the classroom as her students also study global health issues.

EHS students will learn about food and sustainability during the last six weeks of school. In addition to reading and analyzing books, a garden/ green house will be created by students and teachers so specific questions about food production and hunger in the U.S. may be examined.

YMCA Kirkland’s teen-run café fosters job-training skills

BY KATHERINE LOH Secial to the Reporter

Michelle Johnson, a 17-year-old Juanita High School student, is one of many teenagers spending their weekday afternoons learning how to make espresso drinks and acquire job skills, she is a part of a youth training program hosted by the YMCA Kirkland Teen Union Building (KTUB).

“It would be a dream of mine to have my own café because I really like to cook and bake,” Johnson said. “I feel like this is something I could do for the rest of my life and I would enjoy it very much.”

At the teen-run café, young people ages 13-18 learn how to be successful baristas as well as how to build a resume, conduct effective interviews and attain a food handler’s card.

Established in 2001, the YMCA KTUB teen center does not turn any teens away and gives each an equal opportunity to participate in the fiveweek café program for $75, with a financial aide option. Samantha Field, the café staff lead, said she has received positive feedback from the teens and continually encourages them to achieve their business goals.

“I’d say all the teens

that are here under the age of 16 are getting their volunteer hours in and are really excited to have the opportunity to have these job skills before they have the opportunity to get work,” Field said.

“I’m trying to get them all the skills they would need in any job. I asked them on the first day of class what their dream job was and kind of plan out how to help them get there.”

Open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m., the café already has returning customers. The café is located in the heart of Peter Kirk Park, with live music and a scenic atmosphere.

“I guess our main

selling point is that all cafes and they are really the proceeds go toward supportive of coming in keeping the café open and and conducting interviews also to whichever teen is and coaching these guys,” volunteering that day,” Smith said. “We’ve had Field said. people from Microsoft The teens are able to who are really from the create any coffee drink business community that you would see at your come in and educate our local roaster.

strongly supports NAMI’s care for suicide prevention and the programs they create for families who have a loved one with a mental illness.

For Miner, this is his third NAMI walk. Miner and his mother Nelle are taking charge of fundraising and leading the In Harmony team in the NAMI Walk this year.

So far, NAMI has raised 47 percent of its $225,000 goal. More than 700 donors and several local sponsors, including Kokesh Retirement Strategies and Recovery Innovations, have contributed.

As a community, NAMI hopes to continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those who have a mental illness or who have someone with a mental disability in their family.

“I have heard so many stories from staff, volunteers and community members about how NAMI helped them when they didn’t know what else to do,” Uradnik said.

“Mental illness has such a stigma behind it and NAMI provides people with hope that they can manage their illness – they are not alone.”

As Miner’s grandfather once said, “Your disability is your opportunity.”

NAMI’s values and support for those with mental disabilities is just that. It gives people a chance to create something positive and to educate society in hope to make it more normalized.

The walk is May 18 at Kirkland’s Marina Park.

Check-in is at 8 a.m. and start time is at 9:30 a.m.

Juanita Friday Market opens Friday, offers new special events

By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

K

irkland’s Juanita Friday Market kicks off this Friday with 32 vendors to serve market patrons this summer.

The farmers market at Juanita Beach will host nine new vendors that will offer products ranging from handmade bookmarks to ice cream and sorbet.

But Kirklanders can also expect four new special events to be held on the last Friday of each month. Kids Days will continue each first Friday of the month and will include kids crafts and a puppet show. A special “Kirkland’s Walk ‘n’ Roll Safety Fair” is planned for June 7.

The safety fair will include safe walking and biking, a puppet show from the First Baptist Church and a fire truck will be onsite for children

to learn about.

Juanita Friday Market’s special events were designed to include more of Kirkland’s local businesses that might not be centered around the typical farmers market product.

“At the end of the day it is a local market,” said Tina Lathia, program assistant with the Parks and Community Services.

“This way, local health care related businesses [can participate].”

The first special event will be the “Juanita Youth Fair” on June 28. Youth through high school age may sell their handmade products at the fair.

The intent is to provide young, aspiring entrepreneurs a “real world environment” to learn and practice their business skills.

The Juanita Friday Market’s first annual “Juanita Health Fair” will be on July 26, and will

encourage networking with local health care businesses as well as an opportunity to promote health care services and products.

Lathia said because Go Dog Go will not be available this summer, they hope to give the community something back by creating a smaller-scaled version - the “Juanita Pet Fair” on Aug. 30. The pet fair will have pet-related businesses and two pet adoption agencies for the community.

The last Friday of September (Sept. 27) will mark Juanita Friday Market’s first annual “Juanita Craft Fair,” which will promote local art and handmade crafts and products.

And the last Friday the market is open in October will be a Kids Day with donated pumpkins from a farm.

“Our main goal is to draw as many people [to

the market] as we can,” Lathia said. “We don’t get that many customers if the weather isn’t good. We want people to hang out, eat at the local market and enjoy themselves.”

The 2013 Juanita Friday Market sponsors include Betsy Weyer, a Windermere realtor, Julie Metteer with Real Living Northwest Realtors and

Kat Cannon with the Kirkland Kiwanis Club.

The Juanita Friday Market will run from May 10 to Oct. 4 every Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is located at Juanita Beach Park on Northeast Juanita Drive in Kirkland.

“Renovation Celebration” for Public Safety Building

T

he Kirkland City Council invites community members to the “renovation celebration” for the future Kirkland Public Safety Building at 10 a.m. on Friday. City officials will speak to the importance of the new facility which colocates the Kirkland Police Department and Kirkland Municipal Court. The event will be held on site at

11831 120th Avenue NE. Project team members will be on hand to answer questions about the building renovation. Light refreshments will be served.

For information about the project, go to www. kirklandwa.gov/publicsafetybuilding.

“The City has long planned for a new public safety building that would better serve the

community’s needs and have a central geographic location within the city,” notes Mayor Joan McBride.

“We anticipated the need for a more well-designed relationship between our Police and Court services with such a building prior to annexing more than 30,000 new residents in 2011 and we are pleased it’s becoming a reality.”

In 2010, the City pur-

chased an existing 100,000 square foot building in the Totem Lake Business District to be remodeled to house police, corrections, and court personnel.

The purchase and retrofitting of an existing structure rather than building a new one resulted in significant cost savings. The building will enhance operational efficiencies between police and court functions, reduce inmate transport costs, and increase public parking for Municipal Court clients and jurors.

An updated crime lab and community meeting space will be included in the new facility.

The award of the construction bid is expected mid-May with construction anticipated to begin in June.

program the best in the world in providing lifesaving care.”

Along with its recommendation that EMS services continue to be supported through the voter-approved levy, the plan calls for: · Continued ALS operations with the 26 Medic One units currently in service; · Fully funding eligible ALS (paramedic) costs; · Maintaining the system of local partnerships with fire agencies and other support services such as dispatchers and hospitals; · Maintaining regional coordination and strategic initiatives to ensure efficiency in the delivery of emergency services.

The Regional Policy Committee recently amended the Plan to include an independent study to analyze the appropriate number of ALS providers needed in the region.

The County Council is currently reviewing the levy proposal that would fund these Medic One/ EMS services through a voter-approved levy which is proposed to be placed on the November 5 general election ballot.

“Medic One works for all residents of King County, it is the service that gives 24 hours a day,” said Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, chair of the Regional Policy Committee. “King County has set the gold standard in response time and quality of service. If residents had to choose between Medic One and King County government, I know which would win.”

King County’s Medic One/EMS system provides the area’s residents with essential life-saving services.

The system is delivered on a regional basis, so that no matter where in King County - whether at work, play, at home, or traveling between locations – patients receive consistent, high quality medical care.

It is recognized as one of the best emergency medical services programs in the country, and is

acclaimed for its patient response model to ensure outcomes. patients receive proper “Emergency medical medical care by the most services are a collabappropriate care provider. orative effort with a single The system relies heavily focus: ensuring that if you upon coordinated partneed medical assistance nerships with fire departanywhere in King County, ments, paramedic agenit will come quickly with cies, dispatch centers and people equipped to assist hospitals to deliver services you,” said Council Chair in a “seamless” manner.

he Metropolitan King County Council today gave its unanimous support to the 2014-2019 Strategic Plan that will guide King County’s Medic One/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system’s nationally-recognized model for delivering pre-hospital emergency care.

The integrated emergency medical services offered throughout King County earned this region an international reputation in excellence, and the distinction of being the “best place to survive a heart attack.”

“I am very proud of King County’s partnership, leadership and reputation in emergency medical services,” said Councilmember Kathy Lambert, chair of the Council’s Law, Justice, Health and Human Services Committee and prime sponsor of the ordinance. “I’m pleased that the diverse members of the EMS Advisory Task Force created a plan to ensure that we can continue to offer our residents the finest life-saving services available.

Kirkland author releases children’s fantasy book Kirkland resident Marissa Burt is pleased to announce the release of her middle-grade fantasy “Story’s End” last month.

“Story’s End” is the sequel to “Storybound.”

“Inkheart” meets “The Never Ending Story” in the sweeping sequel to “Storybound.” A deadly enemy has returned to the

The Kirkland Women’s Club awarded LWHS seniors Sora Wilson, Holly Sullivan and Juanita High School senior Itzell Rolon scholarships on May 2. Applicants were judged on specific criteria. Contributed magical land of Story and 12-year-old Una Fairchild may hold the key to defeating him.

Long ago, a king ruled the land of Story. During his reign, heroes, villains and characters of all kind lived out tales filled with daring quests and epic struggles. Then the king disappeared, and over the years nearly everyone forgot that he had ever existed.

Now an evil enemy has emerged, determined to write a new future for Story. And an ordinary girl from our world named Una Fairchild must find a way to defeat him.

Una and her friends Indy and Peter set off on a quest for answers, facing warlocks, beasts, and enchantments at

every turn. But Una soon discovers that the real key lies in her own mysterious ties to Story’s past—and to the long-forgotten king who may be their only hope for survival.

“Storybound” has been praised by Kirkus Reviews for its “richly imagined world” and by Publishers Weekly as “an
