Family faces hardship after baby born prematurely

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

The Stewarts have had their fair share of strife after their baby was born three months early. But even after facing eviction and job loss, among other financial hardship, their biggest concern is keeping their son alive.

Valdar Ulfernon Stewart was born June 25 at 24 weeks old via emergency C-section. After doctors at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland worked to delay Katherine Stewart’s

labor, her water broke from a placental abruption when her pregnancy was at 19 weeks.

“It was nerve-wracking,” Katherine Stewart said, noting she went into labor several times but was able to ward it off with magnesium.

Katherine Stewart, 27, started to have pregnancy induced hypertension five weeks into her pregnancy and she believes this is what caused her membranes to tear, eventually causing the [ more VALDAR page 6 ]

Kirkland police are looking for a suspect who attempted to rob at gunpoint the Check Into Cash shop in Kirkland on July 22.

The incident happened at approximately 1 p.m. at the business located at

11420 NE 124th St. in the Totem Lake neighborhood.

The suspect presented a note to a business employee and displayed what appeared to be a handgun in his waistband, said Audra Weber, Kirkland police officer.

ore than 2,000 students, families and Kirkland residents disagree with the Lake Washington School District’s recommended bond option that seeks to add new schools and upgrade others, but would also tear down the Juanita High School swimming pool if passed by voters next February.

On Aug. 5, the Lake Washington School Board is expected to vote on one of five bond options to go before voters. But some feel the district has already decided after a citizen’s advisory committee recommended on June 24 the board adopt a $755 million

measure - pool excluded.

“We have a building that’s nearing the end of its useful life,” said district spokeswoman Kathryn Reith of the swimming facility. “If we were to continue with that building, the expectation is there would be higher and higher costs of keeping the building open.”

Reith likens the pool to a car with 200,000 miles that needs constant repair before it finally breaks and stops performing reliably and safely.

Just last month the district spent $20,000 on repairing the ceiling tile grid system after ceiling tiles fell into the pool, she said.

the swim program could also be cut without a pool that serves multiple school districts.

“Swim teams not only build skills in swimming, but provide a team experience,” said Lashley, who will be a senior in September. “It’s a good environment for kids to be in.”

Reith said if the bond passes, construction wouldn’t be until at least 2017 on modernizing Juanita High School and taking down the swimming facility but, if that time comes, the district intends to find another place for swim teams to practice.

“We’ve had to do that short-term when other teams have lost access,” Reith said. “We’ve had to be creative in finding places for teams to swim and we’ll do that in the future.”

But Lashley said the prob-

lem is there’s not anywhere else to practice. He said teams have had to practice in outdoor pools in the winter before, due to the high demand for the low number of pools that do exist.

District officials say because the pool greatly serves the community they are looking to the cities of Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish and WAVE Aquatics for a partnership in an alternative plan.

WAVE Aquatics, the Lake Washington Masters and Seattle Synchro are just a few groups that use the pool.

Reith said there are no plans yet but she noted there have been meetings with city officials to gauge their interest.

Kirkland resident Christiane Grove said she would more likely support the bond –which will fund three new elementary schools, mod-

ernize and expand Juanita High School, build a Lake Washington High School addition and include a STEM high school on the west side, among other improvements – if she knew of the alternative plans the district said they will explore.

“I’m willing to support [the district], I just need to know what they’re doing,” Grove said, whose daughter has been competitively swimming for five years and plans to start at Lake Washington High School in September. “… I think they’re being vague about all this because they want to get the bond passed and then they’ll come out and say they haven’t made any progress [with an alternative plan].”

Grove is one of 2,000-plus who joined the “SaveJuanitaPool” Facebook page created by high school swim captains in the Lake Wash-

sible for major repairs, while WAVE Aquatics incurs operating costs and general maintenance costs, a contract that was agreed upon in 2009 to stave off another potential pool shutdown.

Reith said the district brought in more than $123,000 in revenues, with more than $251,000 in expenses during the 2008-09 school year, the last time the district operated the pool.

One of the five bond options includes a $906 million bond, $15 million of which would go towards replacing the Juanita High School swimming facility.

All other options do not include the 40-year-old pool, which was built in the early 1970s.

Kirkland raises transparency bar with new public disclosure rules

O

pen and transparent government is essential to liberty, and access to public records is a key element of open government.

As an advocate for government transparency and accountability, as well as a Kirkland City Council member, I believe that the council placed the city on the cutting edge of public records access by its recent unanimous adoption of two pieces of legislation.

Ordinance O-4414, “Access to Public Records,” and Resolution R-4987, “Public Records Act Rules,” will govern how Kirkland handles public records requests going forward.

They define open processes for establishing the level of resources allocated to public records access within the context of the overall city budget, for public reporting of the performance of city staff on handling records requests, and for how records requests will be managed, tracked and completed using a system of online queues of pending and active requests and logs of completed requests.

Together, these processes make the records access service itself more transparent to the public.

The logs and queues will be available on the city’s website by Nov. 1.

Kirkland has elevated the city service of providing access to public records to “first class” status like other essential city services, requiring that the handling of public records requests be evaluated and funded as part of all future budget deliberations by the city council.

The ordinance and rules create a performance management system for records requests, with goals and performance metrics like every other essential city service.

The ordinance and rules shine a light on how Toby Nixon

the city is performing on records requests, giving the public and the council tools to know whether additional resources are necessary to meet public expectations of responsiveness to requests.

Just as importantly, they put the public records service in the appropriate context of all of the other essential services that a city provides such as public safety, environmental protection, human services and infrastructure investments. Budget allocations for records requests will be evaluated along with these other critical services so that all city services receive a reasonable allocation of resources based on citizen priorities.

As with other essential services, spikes in demand for access to public records will be fulfilled within the constraints of allocated resources and

spread over time when necessary to avoid interference with other services.

This approach respects both the right of the people to access their records and their right to receive other essential city services, at a level of performance they expect and can afford.

By adopting this ordinance and resolution and following through with the required oversight, the council fulfills our commitment to the people of Kirkland to use the resources they provide as efficiently and effectively as possible, to provide the services they need and expect and to merit their trust and confidence.

Toby Nixon is a member of the Kirkland City Council.

Pirates are a tradition Just visited Cody, Wyo. where, during the summers, they have a nightly gun fight on Main Street.

Before the “fight” there is a gun safety message and they test one blank gun to show the damage to a soda can and demonstrate the loud bang. Even warned, we all jumped.

The families in the front were warned that the noise could scare children, especially babies, and that the noise could hurt dogs’ ears.

No one moved. Halfway through the program, parents reluctantly left with their howling children. The pet owners moved back but did not leave.

Years ago we visited Marineland, where the Orcas were put through their maneuvers. The front rows were warned that the lower seats were splashed and viewers were often soaked to the skin. They seldom moved but the park routinely received complaints about the soaking. Yes, the pirates are loud and Moby Duck is large. It is the Seafair Pirates - a tradition. They give a warning, they make us jump, we tell the kids the pirates are daddies and they mean to make us jump.

Welcome back to Kirkland.

Thank you volunteers The 11th annual Kirkland Classic Car Show was a great success. There is something to be said about looking every direction from Lake Street and all you see are hot rods and classic cars. While my brother Rocky and I were out judging, I was watching a young man with an elderly woman looking at a 32 Ford Coupe.

The elderly woman with a cane looked up at the young man and said, “We had one of these, your grandfather and I. Your grandfather loved that car, and I could tell you stories about that car.” He replied, “Grandma, not too much information, OK.” She laughed and said, “We should have kept that car.”

I want the community to know how much work over the past year went into putting on a one-day show.

This was all done by volunteers. I would like to thank the Legends Car Club for hosting the show. I would also like to thank our family friend Harold (Butch) Kent for providing his antique fire truck for the kids.

The kids actually somehow dislodged the gearshift, but being the master mechanic he is, he fixed it.

The following people made this happen: Dick Beazell, Alan Weiskind, Amber Chenoweth, Rod Graham, Samantha Sefton, Rob Butcher,

Rocky Fletcher, Bill Hickok, Rick LaValley, Sues Husband, Austin Berendes, Kellie Jordan, Gina Casanova, to name a few.

But most importantly, thank you to the guys and gals who brought the cars. We wouldn’t have a show without you. Build it and they will come.

Community outreach efforts lackluster Regarding the proposed enhancements to the Big Finn Hill Park trail system, I’d like to reference a quote from the June 19 Kirkland Reporter: “King County staff held two public meetings in 2012 to collect public feedback on trail and park management issues, then formed the Big Finn Trails Committee for weekly meetings. The committee has acted as the advisory group to King County Parks, and is composed of Finn Hill neighbors, park users, hikers, mountain bikers and dog walkers.”

I was totally unaware that these public meetings occurred, nor was I aware that a resulting committee would be tasked with making decisions that directly affect the daily quality of life for myself and my neighbors.

There are approximately 100 homes directly bordering the trails

within Big Finn Hill Park, west of Juanita Drive, along with another 100 within close proximity (yes, I counted). My question is this: the Kirkland Reporter is delivered weekly, without fail, to every driveway throughout the Finn Hill neighborhood and beyond. So, why couldn’t the King County Parks’ staff similarly have targeted these 200 homes with a flyer announcing the public meetings held last year? If they had made that effort, then the Big Finn Hill Trails Committee might have better reflected the concerns of the neighborhood, which will be most directly affected by the proposed trail enhancements.

Instead, my neighbors and I who attended a public meeting with Parks Department staff on June 20 were lectured – somewhat harshly – that decisions had been reached by a crosssection of our neighbors. This was clearly not the case, as the committee was not truly representative of residents whose homes are situated closest to trail heads. I’m fairly certain the Parks Department strives to maintain transparency and fairness in pursuit of its goals. However, it appears that their efforts to act inclusively while pursuing this particular project were rather lackluster. I strongly urge the department to take the necessary steps to correct this oversight.

Ideas to improve city’s zoning process L

Affix a warning label When the city announces proposed zoning changes, it typically couches them in neutral terms that fail to portray the potential impact of the changes that are being contemplated.

Instead, we need the equivalent of a “Surgeon General’s warning” on the zoning approval process.

For example: “If this zoning change is approved, your community could see X many new condo units, causing Y in extra traffic times, Z additional taxes, new building heights X taller than the highest adjacent structure, view blockages, solar impacts, etc … ” I’m not being facetious.

Citizens must be informed of the consequences of their failure to participate in the process.

enough. Highly technical written texts mostly aggravate an alreadyconfusing muddle.

To be comprehensible to citizens, proposed zoning changes need to be conveyed in a form that is most meaningful to the average person. Technical issues need to be conveyed in plain, jargon-free language.

MYTURN

ast week, I discussed the abnormal level of controversy over redevelopment in Kirkland and how the zoning process currently works.

It is time to step up, insist on changes in how the city works with developers and bring balance back to our city’s zoning approval process.

I am offering the following handful of practical ideas to help bring balance back to the process.

Create a citizen advocate position This position would report directly to the mayor and act as an independent watchdog on the rezoning and planning approval processes, ensuring that adequate, plain language notices are given, looking for and eliminating technical jargon, making sure that resources are adequate and that all parties follow the rules.

Consider a ‘juryadvocacy’ model In architectural competitions, a small group of judges (called a “jury”) are often used to evaluate and provide feedback on design proposals. The designer often stands before the jury accompanied by drawings, models, etc. and presents the proposal.

The jury asks questions, challenges assumptions and provides critique to improve or change the design.

Given the power imbalance between developers and individual citizens, implementing a citizen advocacy model based on a jury concept could provide a basis to even the playing field. With volunteer members coming from a range of backgrounds event transform Kirkland’s Marina Park and downtown into a lively arts and entertainment destination.

Most shifts are just three hours long, so volunteers will have plenty of time to enjoy the festival.

Activities include: Shakespeare in the Park, live music on several stages, Northwest Folklife, Cardboard Boat Regatta, Fish Frolic along Lake Washington, Rotary Duck Dash, gourmet food trucks, kids games and rides, Touch-a-Truck, TechZone with Robotics, Young Artists Exhibition, street performers, Dragonboat Races, beer and wine garden, artist and business booth, Street Team* and photographers*.

Volunteers can sign up

from around the city, the jury would not have approval power, but would allow community concerns to be focused in a body with one foot in the community and the other in the design arts.

This “jury” would participate in public presentations, working sessions and the like as citizen advocates.

‘Show’ is better than ‘tell’

renderings is that the developer controls what you see and from where you see it.

Conversely, 3D models created in physical or computer format cannot be so easily manipulated, which wrests control back from the developer and puts it back into the public realm where it can support a more honest evaluation of the impacts.

Don’t just inform, mobilize

Physical and “real time” Our elected officials computer models need to must do more than inform be provided that clearly communities of proposed show the impact of zoning changes.

dividual not to be within the reach of the city government that wants to engage and mobilize them as participants.

Hold on, we’re not ready yet The public is not given enough time to respond. For citizens and communities to compete on a level basis with developers, they must be afforded more time to do what the developer has already done. Prepare.

“Prepare” in this context is affording enough time for citizens to coalesce into groups that collectively can participate on an equal footing with the developer.

While developers come to the table fully organized and resourced to move forward, citizens need time to understand the issues, coalesce and prepare.

While it’s true that individual citizens can and do come to hearings without extended notice, pitting an individual citizen, or even a group of uncoordinated citizens against a developer with deep pockets does not constitute representative government.

Finally, as I write this, the city is completing a thirdparty study focusing on accelerating the building approval process – something developers are pushing hard for but that would likely put another barrier in the way of citizens seeking to exert their will on the form of their community.

A call to action Our challenge as a community is to preserve what we view as the fundamental character of our neighborhoods, while still encouraging development. Without active and forceful participation by its citizens, the city of Kirkland’s destiny will be determined not by its citizens, the quality of life for the people of Kirkland through educational and community events, volunteerism, and funding nonprofits serving our community.

Last year, Summerfest generated donations of over $7,500 which went directly to local nonprofits, including the Lake Washington Schools Foundation.

When I moved to Kirkland in 1994, I was attracted to its walkable streets, intimately scaled downtown and independent small-scale shops. When I volunteered for the city’s Design Review Board a few years ago, it was because I highly valued these aspects of our city and viewed the board as a way for me to help my city maintain its unique identity.

The Kirkland of old still exists, but is gradually giving way to something very different. We should embrace that as a natural and potentially healthy process. But, in embracing that fact, it remains to us to determine (by our willingness to forcefully engage) whether “different” is also “better.”

to respond to Heritage Park where officers and a Parks Department crew member found a dead eaglet on park property. The 911 caller reported observing the bird falling out of the nest.

The city notified the Washington State and U.S. Fish and Wildlife agencies and the Eastside Audubon office. The Federal Fish and Wildlife has removed the remains of the young bald eagle.

According to the Eastside Audubon website, it is estimated that in early May two eaglets were born. Eagles have made their nestlings at Heritage Park and are one of the city’s favorite natural attractions, city officials say.

GOING ONCE… GOING TWICE…

In a July 26 story regarding an author’s book about his parents’ 1978 death, the U.S. attorney never prosecuted Gary Edwards in part because there was a lack of forensic evidence and by prosecuting him without a reputable witness, there was a risk of incurring jeopardy, according to Larry Edwards.

Also, the bodies were dumped over the side of the boat, not as reported in the July 26 issue.

“We would love to get a home in Kirkland or nearer to the hospital because when we were living in Sultan, it was $10 every day to get there and back,” Alan Stewart said.

“I’m hoping to be able to live close so that I can maybe go back to work.”

The Stewarts currently have a website set up for people who want to help them out financially at www.gofundme. com/3hn2pc. They have raised $3,490 for living expenses so far.

“I despise shaking the tin can online but when you sign up to be a dad, shame goes out the window when it’s for your kids,” Alan Stewart said.

The Stewarts said they are very grateful to the doctors at EvergreenHealth who have cared for Valdar and his mother “exceptionally well.”

She has been staying at the hospital since June 11.

On the morning Valdar was born, his heart rate kept dropping. The next thing his mother knew, she was on the operating table being given a spinal tap.

“We didn’t think he would make it past delivery because he had been a couple of hours without oxygen,” she said. “No one expected him to make it.”

However, Katherine and Alan Stewart were shocked to learn he was alive.

Faced with no child care, Alan Stewart stepped up to care for their children as soon as his wife was hospitalized; she normally watched the kids while her husband worked as a steel worker for the local 66 steel metal union.

“I love to work,” he said. “My work is literally my fun time. I like to make stuff … There is a sense of hopelessness because I’m a construction worker. If it’s broke, I fix it. But this is not something I can replace if it’s not able to be fixed.”

With Katherine Stewart at the hospital and Alan Stewart unable to work, the couple tried to come to a rent agreement with their landlord. But soon after, they say their landlord went through the process to evict them. After battling it out in court, the family was only given a five-day extension and were forced to lean on the generosity of a family in Redmond.

But the family of nowseven wants somewhere to call home in a location close to EvergreenHealth Medical Center because they anticipate Valdar will be there until his due

His mother said he also has right and left brain ventricle bleeds, frontal lobe trauma and swelling from built up spinal fluid, which could give him learning disabilities or various levels of cerebral palsy.

“We can’t tell right now what the conditions are going to be when he’s older, so we really try not to get wrapped up in what could possibly be an outcome from different medical issues that he’s dealing with because it could change,” Katherine Stewart said. “There are people who have babies born extremely premature and their babies have absolutely no issue and there are babies that have been born around 28 weeks … and they have tons of issues later on. It’s so hard to predict.”

Right now, the focus is one day at a time, and getting him to gain weight, of course.

...today’s parent for many other studies over the past 15 years.

The foundation of the adverse childhood experiences research is the correlation between the number of traumas in a child’s life and chronic diseases that develop as an adult, as well as social and emotional problems in adulthood. Researchers have found that exposure to traumas can cause physical damage to a developing brain, literally creating issues in the way a child’s brain becomes wired.

Patti Skelton-McGougan

The study categorizes 10 types of childhood trauma and they fall into two categories. The first one involves family members and includes alcoholism, mental illness, domestic abuse of a mother, a family member in prison, or loss of a parent through divorce, death or abandonment.

The other category involves those things that happen to the child and includes physical, verbal or sexual abuse as well as physical or emotional neglect.

This list is by no means exhaustive because there are so many types of childhood trauma, such as overcoming a severe illness

All of our kids experience pain and trauma at some point in their life. Try to name a family that hasn’t gone through a difficult stretch — I can’t. Sometimes, though, life’s bumps and curves rise to a level that can cause lasting impacts on a child’s health and well-being, well into adulthood.

Researchers have looked into serious events that a group of adults reported they experienced as children; these were named adverse childhood experiences.

The events studied were traumatic, and much more than the typical “bumps” of childhood.

The original study, conducted between 1995 and 1997 by Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has helped us understand how events in childhood, and even infancy, impact people later in life. It has also served as a platform

What constitutes a co-operative divorce?

This can range from a couple that agrees on everything and asks an attorney to draft final documents, a mediated divorce model where the couple works with one attorney on resolving the various issues and preparing the final documents, and all the way to a complex situation in which both sides have attorneys but the attorneys and parties contract to keep the matter out of court.

In addition to the privacy issues, a cooperative divorce costs about one-third of the traditional litigated divorce. Studies have shown that the outcomes do not have to be one sided or influenced by the person with the stronger personality. The structure of the process can provide even more fairness than litigation. Most importantly, the outcomes are resolved. Litigated divorces are often re-litigated and continue to be modified even years later. The evidence is that parties are more apt to keep the agreements they worked on cooperatively and don’t have to go back to court.

Most importantly: PRIVACY IS PRESERVED. Karin is available by appointment 425-2890293 or visit her website www.divorceforgrownups.net.

Did you know that divorce files are open to the public for anyone to read? Would you like to make your own decisions regarding property division, support and parenting?

If so, rather than the traditional route you’ve read about, you might consider a more co-operative approach. When engaged in a co-operative divorce a couple keeps court filings to the minimum required to obtain a final decree. The settlement terms, financial disclosure and other concerns remain private.

If there is a parenting recommendation by an evaluator or counselor, the information remains confidential to the parties and their attorneys. All the details are in a private contract that is not filed in any public record or even seen by a judge. No one even has to appear in court.

The privacy concern is probably one of the most important reasons to work with an attorney rather than on-line programs or DIY divorce. Often do-it-yourselfers ask me to review their documents and I am amazed at how willing they are to list all their assets, all their debt, company information and other private information in the documents.

No one tells them there is another way.

My version of do your own divorce means without court intervention. You don’t need a judge to tell you what to do about your children or your property. You can hire experts than can help you make those decisions, if needed. Experts will work with you to achieve your goals based on your interests and your children’s needs.

It’s always nice to be lucky.

But when it comes to financial matters, you’re better off not counting on Lady Luck — and focusing instead on setting and pursuing goals.

Here are some goal-setting suggestions: For starters, be specific. For example, instead of telling yourself that you want to retire early, set a goal of retiring at, say, 62. You can then use this target number to help guide your overall

investment strategy.

Also, prioritize your various financial goals. This will help you decide how, and when, to allocate resources.

Be prepared to change your goals as your circumstances change. You’ll find it easier to maintain this flexibility if your investment portfolio has sufficient resources to allow you to change direction. Finally, measure your progress regularly and make adjustments.

ohn Fowler is part of a volunteer group that organizes the singlelargest weekly exotic car show north of Los Angeles in Redmond Town Center.

But soon he and his team will bring one of the most unusual cars yet to Kirkland’s Lake Washington - a full size cardboard Formula One. The first annual Moss Bay Cardboard Boat Regatta is coming to the second annual Kirkland Summerfest event on Saturday, Aug. 10. Event coordinator Julie Metteer decided to include the cardboard boat regatta in this year’s Summerfest because she and her husband, Mike Metteer, saw two other cardboard boat regattas on St. Thomas island and thought it would be a fun addition to Summerfest.

Fowler, who heard about the event from Metteer, volunteers at Exotics At Redmond Town Center and is bringing their cardboard car-boat to the water.

This will be Fowler’s first time racing in a cardboard boat race. He said the event “sounded like a great idea to bring together our volunteer group [to do] something

His group, Exotics At Redmond Town Center, shows classic 1900s cars all the way to the current Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

It took Fowler and his team three weeks to put together a sturdy cardboard car-boat that will hold four of his team members.

“We started off with the six of us, thinking of what we could do to display what we do as volunteers,” said Folwer. “We started off with a whole design where we laminate the cardboard together also using the various glues that are allowed in the rules and then from that point we started to take the creative ideas and figure out how to fold the cardboard properly and how to bend the cardboard into a certain design and it evolved into a 16-foot-long, 8-footwide, 5-foot-tall race car,” Fowler said.

The most challenging part of building the boat was building the wheels and calculating how to fit four men weighing 200 pounds a piece in a cardboard boat, he said.

But they’ve gotten some help along the way from the community. They have had several supply donations from various

groups, such as Costco and Home Depot, just to name a few.

Fowler and his team are looking forward to competing in their first boat regatta.

“We want to be competitive, but yet throw a lot of fun in there, so to create a design that will give people some incentive to build something next year like ours,” Fowler said. “We just want to be creative and competitive, that’s what’s it’s all about.”

So far, Metteer said that five teams have signed up for the boat regatta but there are still five slots left to fill.

Trophies will be given out for most creative design and most dramatic sinking. If interested in participating in the Moss Bay Cardboard Boat Regatta, submit an entry by Aug. 6 at www.kirklandsummerfest.com, where there is also rules and guidelines for making a cardboard boat.

This year’s Summerfest will be held from Aug. 9-11, but the Moss Bay Cardboard Boat Regatta will be at 4 p.m. Aug. 10 at the Marina Park.

‘Big Top Bandit’ bank robbery suspect was former coach at Kirkland schools www.nw-ads.com

The FBI arrested two Renton men on July 22 believed to be the “Big Top Bandits,” involved in a series of takeover-style robberies throughout King County.

One of the suspects, 23-year-old Luther Ray Leonard, was an assistant boys basketball coach for the junior varsity team at Finn Hill Middle School this past school year. He was also a volunteer coach for the

Juanita High School football team, volunteering with the team last fall, said Lake Washington School District spokesperson Kathryn Reith.

The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force arrested, on probable cause, Leonard and Jeffery Lamont Pool, 47, of Wichita Falls, Texas at their current residence in Renton.

The two were arrested as task force investigators executed a search warrant at the location. Investigators soon after executed a second search warrant at another

Man pleads not guilty to robbery

By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

An Issaquah man charged with robbing a Subway store in Kirkland earlier this month pleaded not guilty in court the morning of July 22.

Ryan Arthur Mashek, 30, pleaded not guilty to first-degree robbery during an arraignment hearing at King County Superior Court.

His case setting hearing is scheduled for Aug. 7.

Mashek is being held on a $250,000 bail for allegedly robbing, at gunpoint, a Subway store, located in the Totem Lake neighborhood

at 11613 124th Ave. NE on July 7.

After help from a witness, police were able to locate Mashek in his alleged getaway vehicle and arrest him.

Upon receiving a search warrant for the vehicle, police found $160 in cash, an Airsoft pistol and clothing in the back of the seat that matched the suspect’s description.

The two men’s cases, who were in the car that picked up Mashek, have not been referred to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, a prosecutor’s office spokesman said.

The task force continues to investigate the bank robberies attributed to the “Big Top Bandits”: • Jan. 16 – Key Bank, Newcastle • Feb. 28 – Key Bank, Rainier Avenue Branch, Seattle • May 22 – Washington Federal Bank, Rainier Avenue Branch, Seattle • June 8 – Sterling Savings Bank, Burien • July 1 – Bank of America, Newcastle Information submitted by a Washington’s Most Wanted

county, state and federal law enforcement agencies will converge in an effort to improve water safety through impaired boating enforcement.

The staging area for the event will be at Proctor Landing on Mercer Island, the same as previous years.

The Washington State Patrol Mobile Impaired Driving Unit, temporary detention facilities and prisoner support vehicles will be available to assist in the processing of boaters suspected of boating under the influence, referred to as “BUI,” or other crimes involved

with unsafe usage of watercraft.

Boating under the influence is similar to driving under the influence, or DUI, in that the legal limit is 0.08 for blood alcohol content.

New “BUI” laws that recently went into effect include: *Boating under the influence becomes a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to 364 days in jail. *Law enforcement will be able to require operators suspected of BUI to take a breath or blood test.

*Law Enforcement will have the authority to issue citations to vessel operators during the investigation of collisions and accidents they did not witness, thus holding negligent and reckless boaters more accountable.

Officers at previous Seafair “BUI” emphasis weekends arrested 83 people boating under the influence in 2008, 110 in 2009, 59 in 2010 with 463 vessels contacted, 70 arrests in 2011 with 536 vessels contacted and 61 people boating under the influence in 2012 with 693 vessels contacted.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LeAder in dentAL impLAnt treAtment Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. teChnoLogy Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and crosssectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

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

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