Judge rules in favor of Potala Village developer

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

King County Superior Court judge Monica Benton ruled on May 9 that the city of Kirkland must accept and process the Potala Village developer’s permit application per February 2011 zoning laws, when it was originally filed.

For one year, plain-

However, when Dargey met with the city to scale down the project, he agreed to 150 units per acre. The density limit was again revised to 143 units per acre “to allow

About 100 Kirkland business owners, city officials and interested citizens rushed through morning traffic to get to the Eastside Tennis Center in Totem Lake on Tuesday.

But it wasn’t to play a tennis match.

The 7:30 a.m. Kirkland Business Roundtable meeting was the first of many public outreach efforts to learn what the community wants out of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s master plan.

Those who attended were automatically deemed a member of the the city’s Cross Kirkland Corridor Founders Club.

“Let’s start this conversation, this process of imagination, to develop this corridor,” said Mayor Joan McBride. “Let the dreaming begin.”

And with ideas such as a Gondola transportation system or a brewery abutting the corridor, Guy Michaelson of Berger Partnership agrees that the sky is truly the limit.

“We’re only limited by our imagination,” Michaelson said, whose company is the chosen architecture firm to develop

Business group brainstorms on Cross Kirkland Corridor future

A group of business owners, city officials and interested citizens brainstorm ideas on what they want out of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s master plan.

Ideas ranged from a Gondola transportation system and brewery next to the corridor, to a hub for shopping and biking. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter the master plan. “The Cross Kirkland Corridor is not just a trail, it can be so much more.”

Whether the corridor is a hub for eating, shopping, biking or a place to walk, its development is sure to have a positive impact on surrounding businesses. According to the city, 1,173 businesses with 10,904 employees are located within 2,000 feet (less than a half-mile) of the 5.75 mile long corridor.

But City Manager Kurt Triplett said the common idea for the master plan -

a paved trail to be 30 feet from the rail bed - will cost an estimated $115$120 million to achieve but “ultimately we’ll get there.”

And Lisa Picard with Skanska USA Commercial Development said it’s an investment that would have a positive economic impact longterm.

Picard described that a business can flourish simply by being located near the corridor’s trails and future transportation access. Although the lifespan for businesses has dramatically decreased in

the past 70 years, she said successful businesses have found a way to sustain themselves by finding connections.

She anticipates tenants of a multi-use building called Stone34, which is currently being constructed in Fremont, would benefit from the nearby Burke-Gilman Trail. “[Brooks Sports, Inc., the major tenant of Stone34,] will create an urban trail head with their business by creating a large open plaza, and by hosting running events and activities,” Picard said.

Similarly, one perk of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s master plan will be to attract new business to the current companies nearby, such as Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corporation and EvergreenHealth Medical Center.

The Google expansion and Transit-Oriented Development projects are also expected to benefit from the corridor’s development, as well as the Par Mac Business District that is a “sleeping giant that will awaken with the [ more CORRIDOR page 3 ]

Five candidates have filed for the five open Kirkland City Council positions so far this week during the King County candidate filing period.

Candidates have until May 17 at 4:30 p.m. to file for an elected position to be considered during the November general election.

Incumbent council members Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione, Penny Sweet and Amy Walen are in the mix with Shelly Kloba, who was recently chosen by the council to temporarily fill Position 2 after former Councilman Bob Sternoff resigned in March.

But one new candidate, Jay Arnold, filed for Position 1, which will be vacant after Mayor Joan McBride steps down from her seat at the end of the year. Arnold announced his bid for the seat back in February.

Since then, he has received nearly 30 endorsements from elected officials, former council members and community leaders some of which include McBride, Rep. Larry Springer, and Jon Pascal, vice chair of the Planning Commission.

Hopelink launches annual End Summer Hunger campaign to feed kids For more than 16,000 children in north and east King County, summer vacation means something other than a chance to spend the day outside playing with friends: It means no longer knowing for sure that you will have breakfast or lunch.

End Summer Hunger – running through August – is Hopelink’s annual grassroots campaign aimed at ensuring that local kids in low-income families have enough to eat while they’re on summer break. The fundraising drive brings together local businesses, organizations, schools and individuals to help provide food for kids who receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year.

Over the next several months, Hopelink is encouraging groups and individuals alike to get involved with the campaign.

The proceeds from End Summer Hunger will stock the agency’s five food banks for the high-demand summer months when kids are not in school and the subsidized school programs are not available. In 2012, the End Summer Hunger campaign served nearly 5,000 children in 2,300 homes.

Hopelink President and CEO Marilyn Mason-Plunkett said End Summer Hunger helps families continue to move toward selfsufficiency by ensuring they have enough to eat and are able to focus their energies on getting back on their feet.

“Food is essential. It is a building block.

When families are hungry, stability is impossible,” Mason-Plunkett said.

“We know that consistent access to nutritious food enables our low-income families to direct their limited resources toward other basic needs – such as heat, transportation, and childcare – without worrying about whether their children have enough to eat,” she said.

“And we know that having nutritious food and enough to eat is essential to helping kids learn, thrive and grow into healthy adults.”

In 2012, Hopelink’s five food banks provid-

ed nearly 2.7 million pounds of food to more than 15,000 people in the community. The End Summer Hunger program provides additional healthy breakfast and lunch-type foods to current food bank clients with school-aged children, including fresh fruit and fruit juices, peanut butter, cereal, ramen and snacks.

“Hopelink’s proven formula for addressing gaps in food security impacts thousands of families in Seattle, but hunger doesn’t take a summer break — it’s always in session,” said Bob Peters, Seattle and Washington state president, Bank of America. “The End Summer Hunger campaign reminds us that many families continue to struggle in this recovering economy, and that we can do something to improve the lives of those in our community, even if our own pantry is full.”

Schools that support the End Summer Hunger program encourage children in classrooms to collect coins, while businesses, organizations and civic or community clubs hold food drives, fund drives, or both.

For more information on how to get involved, contact Emily DeWitt at edewitt@ hope-link.org or visit www.hope-link.org/ take_action/end_summer_hunger.

City attorney Robin Jenkinson said city officials are looking at their options for judicial review and will ask the judge to reconsider her decision on May 20.

Best gift for breast cancer patients is to make connections

M

y experience with breast cancer began when I was 24, when my mother was diagnosed.

She was a florist and ran her own business. She raised my siblings and me without our father, and was very strong and independent.

I remember her telling her friends that she was “just battling this little bit of breast cancer,” and laughing about it, so that they could feel better. I remember these were the days when we didn’t even use the word “breast” much.

Mom’s lumpectomy became a mastectomy, her radiation became chemotherapy, then it was everywhere, and she died within 18 months of diagnosis.

We took care of her at home. When the hospice people wanted to medicate her so that she “wouldn’t remember anymore,” we made that decision.

Our mother was young and beautiful. She was my best friend. Life without your mother is, I think, quite different. My choices and priorities are not what they would be if she were here.

But I always know what mom would think, would say, and when she would laugh, so she really is always with me.

When I was 37, I felt a lump under my arm. I thought, “This isn’t good” but I didn’t think that I had breast cancer.

I went in right away and had a mammogram, ultrasound, then saw the breast surgeon, who said, “That needs to come out, what are you doing this Thursday?” The word came back on the day we were moving to Kirkland, I left packing boxes to get blood drawn and chest X-rays.

I’d planned to have a double mastectomy in Portland. I had a great relationship with my doctor there, even though we had just met, he invited me to talk to his sister who was a survivor.

He was a lifeline for me, as I was very afraid. My breast cancer buddies call this Amy Walen

time, between diagnosis and the beginning of treatment, “the pit of hell,” because of the fear.

When mom was sick, I had read that those who join support groups survive more. I wanted her to join one so much.

One of the first things I did when we moved was to call Bosom Buddies at EvergreenHealth. The lady who answered the phone there, another lifeline, encouraged me to call Marion Johnson, breast surgeon at EvergreenHealth.

When I called Marion’s office, they were scheduling four to six weeks out. Because I knew what I wanted to do, and because my mother had “waited 90 days to see if the lump went away,” I couldn’t wait six weeks.

I faxed in my pathology, which said things like “highly active cells” and “areas suspicious for vascular invasion.”

On the bottom of it, I wrote about my mother’s rapid illness and asked if Dr. Johnson would see me sooner. Marion called me the same day and I was in her office that week.

My husband Jim and I got married the night before my mastectomy surgery, at the Bellevue Courthouse.

Dr. Johnson created the team who saved me. She thought that I would connect with my oncologists, Dr. Van Haelst, and Dr. Taylor, and she was right.

During my “lost year” of chemotherapy and radiation, I made friends in treatment.

People reached out to me in grocery stores.

Friends of friends called me. I’ve lost some of these friends to breast cancer. I’m still losing them.

Talking to my doctor’s sister was the beginning of something. The best gift for a newly diagnosed person is to connect with someone who had what you had, and is alive.

People reached out to me, and now I reach out to them. Women meet me and I talk about what happened – as my mother could not.

I tell them that I had aggressive, triple negative breast cancer that had traveled, and that I am OK. And that they will be too.

More information Evergreen Cancer Lifeline - Bosom Buddies Network is a support group for breast cancer patients and survivors. The group meets from 10 a.m. to noon the first and third Wednesday of the month at EvergreenHealth, room Tan 119. For information, call 206-832-1297 or visit cancerlifeline.org.

Kirkland Events Foundation commends council The Kirkland Events Foundation wishes to express thanks to the Kirkland City Council for stepping up and supporting our proposal to produce Kirkland Oktoberfest this autumn. The inaugural Kirkland Oktoberfest will support those community events that struggle for funding such as the Fourth of July, the Summer Concert Series and the Holiday Tree Lighting. The council supported the proposal for Oktoberfest at their May 7 study session.

The council’s decision has an added benefit: It saves $15,000 from the city budget.

Oktoberfest will fund community events, freeing public money for more pressing needs.

We commend the council for having found a win-win for the community and for the city budget.

The Kirkland Events Foundation is a nonprofit organization. We produce Kirkland Summerfest and Kirkland Oktoberfest. Summerfest, Kirkland’s largest festival of art, music, food and family fun, returns in 2013 on August 9-11. Admission to Summerfest is free.

Amy Goings named Lake Washington Institute of Technology president Amy Goings was unanimously chosen as Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s (LWIT) ninth president by the college’s board of trustees at a special board meeting May 8.

Goings most recently served as the vice president of Operations and College Relations at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood. She will begin her position on July 1.

The board’s decision completes a seven-month inclusive and transparent public process, which involved participation from college faculty, staff and students and community members. Goings will replace Dr. Sharon McGavick, who has served as interim president since November 2012.

“Amy Goings is a collaborative leader who possesses the qualities, values and commitment that are critical to the long-term success of the college,” said Bruce J. Reid, chair of the LWIT Board of

Trustees. “We are extremely pleased to have found Amy from a pool of very strong candidates. Throughout the presidential search process, the board received input from the college’s Presidential Search Committee and the LWIT community regarding the qualities they sought in a president. We believe she embodies those qualities and her qualifications fit with both the school’s mission and the board’s vision.”

“I’m honored to be chosen to serve as the president of Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Washington’s only polytechnic institute,” said Goings. “I look forward to working with the college community and industry partners on the Eastside to expand educational opportunities for the students and communities we serve.”

Goings began her community and technical college career at Bates Technical College. She joined Clover Park Technical College as vice president of College Relations and Resource Development in 2004, and assumed additional duties in 2009 as the vice president of Operations and College Relations. Prior to her community and technical college career, Goings served as the deputy director in the Office of Congressman Norm Dicks with responsibility for higher education and workforce outreach. She is a 2013 doctoral candidate in Higher Education Administration at the University of Nebraska Lincoln as part of the National Community College Leadership Cohort.

Massage therapist, composer creates music for healing

We think the best way to care for our neighbors is to be in the neighborhood.

BY KEVIN LEE UW News Lab

Coming home from an exhausting day of work, Microsoft engineer Mike Wall often found himself listening to music for relaxation, focus and healing. Not only was it a way to relieve stress, but over time it evolved into his true passion. The desire to heal himself and others with sound eventually drove Wall to leave his work and change career paths.

Wall, who currently lives in Kirkland, is now a licensed massage therapist at Bothell Integrated Health, multi-instrumentalist, and composer of healing music. His albums “Passage” and “A Time for Healing” were created with intentions of conveying peace, calm, healing and relaxation.

“Composing, playing and recording is a wild ride,” said Wall. “I create and bask in lush soundscapes, improvise to the sound of the ocean or a dawn chorus, or Zen out to a Tibetan bowl drone.”

Growing up in the ‘70s, Wall was a big fan of the progressive rock music genre.

His love for psychedelic guitar tunes plays a big part in his musical choices when it comes to designing sounds.

“I love using electric guitars with classic tones and taming them so they complement the Native American flutes, Tibetan singing bowls and numerous classical and world instruments,” explained Wall. “At a ‘New Age’ trade show, many people were surprised to see and hear singing electric guitar as a part of this peaceful music.”

To stay innovative and inspired at the same time, Wall spends a lot of time traveling and being in nature. Wall and his wife, Pam, often venture into the outdoors to Oregon, California and Hawaii to

Kirkland resident Mike Wall went from Microsoft to massage therapy and music after he found himself continuously stressed after work. Now, he’s pursuing his passion at Bothell Integrated health. CONTRIBUTED take photographs and record sounds. Other times, a simple stroll out of the house is more than enough for the couple.

“We are fortunate enough to be in the Pacific Northwest, with its natural diversity, beauty and occasional quiet. … I have found deep peace and healing on the coast, in the rainforests and the alpine meadows [near] our home,” said Wall.

Pam Wall, who also turns to Wall’s music when she is busy at work, was one of the first people to experience this magical healing process.

“Before Mike started creating his music, I don’t think I gave music much thought as an avenue for healing,” she said. “But seeing it work for Mike, myself, and others has really opened my eyes and my heart.”

Wall believes that music has the power to evoke memories and emotions, while also affecting blood pressure, breathing and heart rate. “If I can record and share sounds that help people focus, meditate, relax, or just quiet down and listen, then that’s what I should be doing,” said Wall.

Phil McAdams, a Seattle native who listened to Wall’s music for the first time recently, talked about the experience. “The best word to describe it is ‘soothing.’…

I can totally imagine myself being really calm and at ease after listening for a while,” said McAdams.

Wall has produced more than 30 successful nature sounds and New Age compilation projects, which are available on Amazon and iTunes as well as streaming sources like Pandora. He also performs live in the Seattle area.

Hall will be performing at East West Bookshop in Seattle on July 13, as well as trade shows in Denver from June 22-24.

Wall’s biggest pleasure comes from knowing that music may help others find their place of deep healing.

“I believe that positivity ripples out like waves in a pond and contributes to transformation,” said Hall.

it difficult to change their long established eating habits, said Dr. Yu Ma, an economics professor at Alberta School of Business and author of the study. Another highly influential factor is price, he says. If they get a good deal on a particular item, they will go for it, and if it’s too expensive, they will stay away, no matter how much they would benefit health-wise.

Another issue is what he calls the “health halo effect.” Most people divide foods simply into two categories: healthy and unhealthy, he says. If something is considered healthful, e.g., a salad or a breakfast cereal, as opposed to a cheeseburger or a sugar-laden donut, people tend to overindulge in the “healthy” stuff without much further thought. We have seen that phenomenon when, for example, fat-free cookies came on the market and many believed they could consume those in almost unlimited quantities because of the absence of fat.

Shelley Kloba, current councilwoman in Position 2, looks at her interim term as a great opportunity for the Kirkland voters.

“I do have confidence that hard work and doing my homework will show people that I’m a person that operates with integrity and has the best intentions,” Kloba said, “and that my positions are consistent with my values.”

Kloba acknowledges

she has a busy summer ahead while she balances being a first-time councilwoman and campaigning to maintain her spot.

She said she plans to do a plethora of public outreach activities such as attending neighborhood meetings, picnics, regional meetings and having campaigning parties to learn about her constituents.

But at the end of the day, she will maintain her platform that the council continues to be transparent,

specifically, as the Comprehensive Plan is updated within the next two years.

Councilmen Dave Asher and Toby Nixon will continue to serve Kirkland until their terms expire at the end of 2015 and are up for re-election.

Voters of the August primary will narrow the race if a council position has more than two competing candidates. Washington’s primary voting period is from July 19 to Aug. 6, the day of the primary.

much lawn at all.

Gardens for homegrown food have been an important part of American homes from the early pioneers to World War II Victory gardens. Now, however, a recent survey has found that food gardens have re-emerged as a new technique to increase the sustainability of a home.

Nearly one in five residential landscape architects is replacing part or all of traditional grass lawns with vegetable gardens, according to a sur-

vey by the American Society of Landscape Architects.

“Not only do you benefit from fresh produce, but these gardens offer lower maintenance time and utility costs compared to turf- grass while substantially increasing the sustainability of a home,” said ASLA President Gary Scott.

“Plus, there’s nothing more convenient or sustainable than homegrown food.”

Food gardens can be easy, rewarding and sustainable.

said Ridgway, who underwent a double mastectomy in 2000. “We do a lot of work in areas that are underserved.

I’m proud to be a part of that.”

Breast cancer has never and will never discourage her from staying active and living life to the fullest, she said. She has completed 13 marathons and more than 50 half marathons, while also enjoying long distance cycling and competitive tennis.

Her active lifestyle is also a crucial part of her business.

Marathon Health and Wellness functions as an education and coaching service for those looking to improve their diet, fitness and overall health. Ridgway says breast cancer is just one of those things she has had to deal with in her life.

Seventy-five percent of the Puget Sound affiliate’s net income is spent in the community, funding mammogram screenings, outreach and treatment and better education, while 25 percent supports research. This year, the organization has been awarded $2.9 million in grants and has provided care to 35,200 individuals.

Jim Clunes is the communication manager for Puget Sound’s Race for the Cure. He will be attending the event for the second time.

“It’s more than just a race,” he said. “It’s also an opportunity for survivors to come together. … It’s very emotional, but also a lot of fun. It’s just a great event.”

Two of Clunes’ dearest friends are breast cancer survivors and he feels that everyone has been affected by breast cancer in some way.

Marie Strohmayer is among those who have ties to the disease. After her aunt

Pamela Ridgway is a three-time breast cancer survivor. CONTRIBUTED died of breast cancer, her mother began having routine check-ups and was diagnosed for the first time in 2008, in Strohmayer’s final year of high school.

“It was really important she got checked up early,” Strohmayer said. “With my aunt, they found it really late.

They didn’t know as much about breast cancer back then.”

She cautions against giving credence to any stigmas associated with breast cancer.

While lung cancer, for example, is intrinsically linked with smoking, breast cancer should not be blamed on

lifestyle choice or unhealthy behaviors of any sort.

Strohmayer is encouraged by the work that the Komen Foundation is doing.

“It’s really important,” she said. “You have to keep funding if you want to find a cure.”

Community members can show support by taking part in the 5k or 1-mile race on June 2 at Seattle Center. For more information visit www. komenpugetsound.org.

RACE FOR THE CURE

Survivor now a volunteer

enn Nudelman, 46, knew the odds were stacked against her. Breast cancer runs deep in her family so she knew her chance of getting the disease was one in three.

Her grandmother died from breast cancer, and she has two aunts who are survivors.

Knowing this, she has been vigilant and aware, keeping up with her yearly mammograms and checkups. But the odds caught up with her.

“My family has a gene mutation that hasn’t been identified yet,” Nudelman said.

A lump found in her breast was so small that it was only detected by a radiologist at Overlake Hospital as a result of her regularly scheduled mammogram.

The first biopsy came back atypia, meaning there was an abnormality in a cell. A subsequent MRI revealed three areas with increased blood flow, which can indicate malignant activity.

“It lit up the screen,” Nudelman said.

An MRI guided biopsy confirmed that all three areas were malignant. What’s unique about her story is she never felt a lump. Even with her family history she was a bit surprised.

The diagnosis was multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma. The recommendation was mastectomy.

Even though the cancer was only in one breast, Nudelman opted for a bilateral mastectomy.

“When I made that decision, even though the other side didn’t have cancer I looked at it as a ticking time bomb,” she said.

Fortunately, since it was caught so early she didn’t have to endure chemotherapy; the cancer had not crept into her lymph nodes and her margins were all clear of cancer.

Nudelman waited three months for all of the pathology reports to be analyzed, then she moved forward with reconstructive surgery. Since her mastectomy was skin and nipple sparing, she was able to go the route of expanders,

which over time are gradually filled with saline solution to expand the skin, in preparation for implants.

Two and a half weeks after having the expanders put in, Nudelman walked in the Komen Foundation’s 3-Day for the Cure, a three day, 60-mile walk to raise money for breast cancer research.

She walked all 60-miles and has done so a total of seven times — she was walking it before she got cancer, in honor of her grandmother.

This year she will walk for the eighth time. She even has seven pink-ribbon tattoos on her leg for each time she has participated in the 3-Day. “My body was tired,” she said of the walk after her surgery.

In her last 3-Day she was nominated to be part of the survivor circle and was honored to carry the “optimism” flag into Century Link Field.

What she has learned from her cancer experience is how strong she really is.

“In a way, I consider cancer as a blessing,” she said. “I was laid off half-way through

my treatment, so I had time once I started feeling better to volunteer for Komen.”

Her work with Komen has taken her to large employers like the FAA and the IRS, and also a private school in Kirkland to talk to them about the importance of fundraising for Komen. She found it gratifying to talk to high school kids.

“It’s being able to touch someone, to be able to talk to someone that age and make them see why this is important,” she said.

She was also the surprise speaker at Mammography Reporting System, which provides software for mammograms, breast MRIs, nuclear imaging and ultrasounds.

She said it was helpful for them to put a human face on breast cancer.

Nudelman, who lives in Issaquah, plans to re-enter the workforce soon, but in the meantime she started fostering and rehabilitating dogs.

Along with a friend, they are starting a Shar-Pei rescue group called “Aleks Angels.”

Breast cancer survivor Jenn Nudelman now volunteers for the Komen Foundation. CONTRIBUTED She will participate in Race for the Cure on June 2 in Seattle. Seventy-five percent of funds raised from Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure stay right here, and

25 percent goes to national research. The percentages flip for the 3-Day, with 75 percent going to national research and 25 percent staying in the Puget Sound area.

Trooper Julie Judson said the woman was riding in a blue chevy going northbound, just south of the Northeast 85th Street exit, when she intentionally jumped out of the passenger side, witnesses said.

A semi-truck driver had struggle to have to pay for their care,” said Habib. “Insurance companies can and should find it in their capacity to pay for medicine that sick children need to live.”

Those who suffer from the disorder are unable to breakdown proteins, meaning they must take proteins through a special formula.

If the treatment must be delivered through an invasive feeding tube, the expensive formula is generally covered by insurance. However, if the patient is able to swallow the formula, many private insurers will not cover the cost.

The treatment costs approximately $1,200 per month and many families have great difficulty covering the out-of-pocket cost for the treatment. Mandating insurance coverage

would help those families afford life-saving treatment for their children.

Jeff Schwartz, a parent of a child with eosinophilia, brought the issue to the attention of Habib and Frockt and testified on several occasions before legislative committees.

Schwartz’s citizen advocacy was a major part of the effort to rally support for the bill and demonstrated to legislators on both sides of the aisle the importance of putting this protection for families into law.

The bill would require the state Department of Health to conduct a sunrise review on requiring that all insurance plans cover treatment for eosinophilia regardless of delivery method.

The department would examine the impact on insurance plans and report back to the Legislature no later than 30 days prior to the 2014 legislative session and the Legislature would take appropriate action.

A STEP IN THE

RIGHT DIRECTION Join QFC and the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure as we raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Ensuring that all women have access to breast cancer early detection and quality treatment support is the ultimate goal, and QFC is committed to seeing this happen.

Understanding the facts about the disease and knowing the warning signs can help protect you and your loved ones. Here are some useful tips: • Talk to your family and learn about your family health history • Complete monthly breast self-exams • Be alert to any changes in your body • Notify your doctor immediately if you notice any changes or have any concerns • Have yearly check-ups and mammograms, as recommended • Spread the word by talking and sharing with mothers, sisters, family and friends. Love and knowledge are powerful weapons in this battle.

QFC is proud to be the Local Presenting Sponsor of this year’s Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure. We will see you at Seattle Center on June 2nd!
