City gets green light to remove tracks

People wearing orange “Save Juanita Pool” T-shirts packed the Lake Washington School District boardroom Monday night to show support for a bond measure that would include the pool in the school’s modernization.

The school board voted against the measure.

Federal board denies injunction seeking rail reactivation

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland city officials say the goal is children just out of school will be able to use the Cross Kirkland Corridor next summer now that the city is free from legal dispute and can go forward with rail removal and trail plans.

Just barely making the city’s deadline on Aug. 1, the federal Surface Transportation Board denied the Ballard Terminal Railroad Company’s injunction, which sought to block rail removal along the 5.75-mile city-owned Cross Kirkland Corridor, until their petitions seeking rail reactivation for freight service were considered and granted.

“We are incredibly happy,” said city manager Kurt Triplett. “At noon on Thursday I was like ‘Dang, they’re not going to do anything.’ I didn’t hear about it until 2:30 p.m.”

The board delivered a “late release” decision at around 5:30 p.m. Eastern time as the board is located in Washington DC. The Aug. 1 deadline was especially important because of contract agreements and the potential for the city to lose a lot of money.

Triplett said the city contacted their rail removal contractor A&K Railroad Materials Thursday afternoon to let them know the good news. They estimate rail removal will begin between two and four weeks.

“For sure we’ll begin in August,” Triplett said. “Once they start, it depends on [ TRACKS page 2 ]

LWSD board’s bond decision excludes Juanita pool

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

T

he Lake Washington School District School board unanimously passed all recommended levies and one controversial bond measure at an emotionally charged board meeting on Monday, which even led to one man’s outburst.

The taxes, which will go before voters next February, would help the district accommodate the estimated

4,200 extra students by expanding, modernizing and building new schools in Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish.

But because of financial constraints, the board was forced to exclude the Juanita High School pool, essentially proposing the end of the only all-year public pool in Kirkland.

“It’s important to highlight the committee is not anti-swimming or antipool,” said district Super-

intendent Traci Pierce to a boardroom full of people in orange shirts with a mission to save the pool. “The committee was charged with a difficult task of providing a recommendation that we believe meets the district’s needs and will garner the support of the Lake Washington School District community at large, who are the taxpayers.”

The bond will include modernization of five phase three schools: Kamiakin

Middle School built in 1974, Peter Kirk Elementary built in 1975, Margaret Mead Elementary built in 1979, Norman Rockewell Elementary built in 1981 and Evergreen Middle School built in 1983.

Three new elementary schools, a new middle school (or equivalent space), an east side internationalfocused choice school, a west side STEM-focused choice school, a modernized Juanita High School and an

addition to Lake Washington High School also are included in the bond measure.

Modernization for the other phase three schools - Alcott, Smith and Wilder elementaries - are scheduled for the next bond cycle in 2022.

Pierce said on top of issues of high cost to acquire new property for a pool, the $15 million to rebuild the pool and additional funds to [ more POOL page 9 ]

Four arrested for patronizing prostitutes at Motel 6, search warrant executed

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland police officers sat in an undercover vehicle, watching a motel room of a supposed prostitute the night of July 10.

At 9:48 p.m., a 54-year-old Asian man with a green shirt left her room. He was soon arrested.

At 9:53 p.m., a heavy-set 53-year-old Asian man with a blue baseball cap entered

her room and left about an hour later. He was also arrested.

At 11:12 p.m., a 30-yearold Hispanic man wearing all black went into the woman’s room and left after 10 minutes. He was arrested.

And at 11:34 p.m., a 33-year-old white man wearing a bright multicolored shirt entered the room of the supposed prostitute and left 20 minutes later. He, too, was arrested.

What began as routine patrol for Kirkland police one Wednesday night, soon became a “john” bust after the four men were arrested for patronizing a prostitute at Motel 6, a low-priced motel in Kirkland’s Totem Lake neighborhood.

“We’ve dealt with this for many years at Motel 6 and other motels,” said Lt. Mike Murray with the Kirkland Police Department, adding Police arrested four men at Motel 6 (pictured) for patronizing prostitutes on July 10. MADDI MILLER, Kirkland Reporter [ more MOTEL page 3 ]

Just as the original plan outlined, the rail bed will remain in place.

The Surface Transportation Board, consisting of Chairman Daniel R. Elliott II, Vice Chairman Ann D. Begeman, and Commissioner Francis P. Mulvey, issued a seven-page decision explaining the Ballard Terminal Railroad Company cannot afford to reinstitute rail service, nor is there a demand for the service.

Furthermore, the board found that one of two prospective shippers who wrote letters on behalf of the Ballard Terminal Railroad Company’s injunction also had previously submitted a bid proposal to the city of Kirkland for the rail removal project, “requesting to be

chosen to remove the very track it purportedly supports using to transport freight.”

The board refuted nearly every claim for injunction with a counterargument similar to the city’s and deemed that a railroad that hasn’t carried traffic since 2006 is not in the current state for future freight without extreme additional revenue and funding.

“In fact, the record shows that the city, as well as King County, Sound Transit and other interested parties would be harmed by an injunction,” the board wrote in their decision. “In this case, parties have invested years and millions of dollars of public funding toward their interim trail use and other public projects in the area the line traverses.”

Triplett said the city figured they would prevail on the merits of the case, which

“The reason we’re happy is for the citizens of Kirkland,” Triplett said. “Now, they’ll get to use the corridor they bought.”

The Ballard Terminal Railroad Company filed petitions in April with the Surface Transportation Board to reactivate the rail line. Shortly after, company officials filed an injunction in federal court, causing the city to halt rail removal. After the federal judge denied the injunction because it wasn’t within the court’s jurisdiction, the company filed another injunction with the Surface Transportation Board in June.

“Since this ruling, there’s a lot of people getting excited,” Triplett said. “It will be a true game changer when people can use [the interim trail] next summer and then they’re going to want to see the paved trail.”

Triplett said Berger Partnership, the consultant for the corridor’s master plan, will make a presentation at the Sept. 17 Kirkland City Council meeting.

daughter was approached on a chatline by an “unsavory character” who solicited sexual behavior. The girl’s mother had checked her daughter’s cell phone and discovered an adult man had been propositioning their daughter for sexual pictures. The case is under investigation.

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers.The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.

July 31

Between July 25 to Aug. 1, the Kirkland Police Department reported 598 traffic violations (13 DUIs), 26 traffic accidents, nine animal calls, 61 alarm calls, 43 noise complaints, 10 calls of disturbance, 18 thefts, 11 car prowls, one car theft, 28 calls of civil disturbance, nine reported burglaries, 15 domestic violence calls, 10 calls for harassment, three reports of illegal drugs, five alleged assaults, 11 acts of fraud, six malicious mischief reports, one sex offense and seven calls for vice. At least 49 people were arrested.

Domestic violence: 11 p.m., 11100 block of NE 123rd Lane. A 19-year-old woman was taken into custody after her mother told police she had been in a fight with her 21-year-old boyfriend. The woman admitted to punching her boyfriend after an argument that involved a food fight.

Aug. 1 Sex offense: 5:15 p.m., 12200 block of NE 66th St. A man told police his 13-year-old

Warrant: 4:11 p.m., 10600 block of NE 68th St. A 21-year-old woman was arrested on a felony drug warrant after she was found at Metropolitan Market during a theft call. The woman was with a man who allegedly took food from the deli.

July 29 Reckless endangerment: 7:15 a.m., 12700 block of NE 120th St. A 36-year-old man was arrested for firing a round of ammunition from his apartment into his neighbor’s kitchen cabinet. No one was injured and the man said he thought the handgun was unloaded as he went to clean it. Three guns,

her and her children feel safer and she said that while motel management seems to be trying to combat the problem, she thinks they should be more aware of the situation.

Laura Rojo-Eddy, a Motel 6 spokeswoman, said the motel’s staff are trained to be observant of their environment and to contact local authorities should they observe any suspicious activity.

“Management at Motel 6 Kirkland maintains a positive working relationship with the Kirkland Police Department and will continue to work with them on an ongoing basis, alerting them of any suspicious activity, and to determine together what, if any, additional steps

may be necessary to respond to any concerns,” Rojo-Eddy added.

Based on the evidence, the search warrant seeks all information for the Seattle postings, including billing information, methods of payment, copies of payments, credit card information, email communications, phone numbers, internet logs and IP address information.

Murray said Craigslist. com was once the place where “escorts” advertised their services but after the state attorney generals put a stop to that, prostitutes and pimps have simply found another web page to use.

“They’ll probably shut that down now and go to another

one,” Murray said. “They’re more interested in looking at Backpage.com and human trafficking, which [the website] does.”

On July 24 the Washington Attorney General’s office announced Bob Ferguson recently joined a bi-partisan coalition of attorney generals across the country to help fight prostitution and sex trafficking by urging Congress to amend the Communications Decency Act. The amendment would provide state and local prosecutors criminal jurisdiction when it comes to online crime, such as Backpage. com, which promotes and profits from human trafficking, according to the attorney general’s office.

Officers finally approached the women’s room at 12:23 a.m. The 22-year-old was positively identified from her North Carolina driver’s license and the other was found to be a 32-year-old from Puyallup.

Search documents state both women admitted to being prostitutes and confirmed their monikers, “Avionne” and “Kim.” “’Kim’ admitted, postMiranda, to Officer Carlson that she had seen four or five customers on July 10,” the documents continue. “[She] stated that she was not working with, or for, anyone. She stated she had no pimp.”

The women were jailed but have not yet been charged.

Crystal Faustino, a mother of two children who has been staying at the motel for about three months, said prostitution at Motel 6 is a “huge problem.”

“Usually there’s one or two girls. One will go out and a guy will go in. Then 15, 20 minutes later, the girl comes back and another guy comes in,” Faustino said. “My kids have even asked me why there’s so many men going in and out [of those rooms] and they’re 6-and-a-half and 8 years old.”

Faustino said she witnessed two black females in a room with similar circumstances. She said she alerted Motel 6 staff and believes they were “busted” shortly after.

But Faustino also said a woman running an escort service told her she could make $500 a night without having to have sex.

“She was basically trying to recruit me,” Faustino said. “ … This is Kirkland, this is generally a good, safe area.”

Faustino said the heavy police presence makes

EDITORIAL

Notes on the news: Microsoft, baseball and Sir Paul at Safeco

O

bservers were harsh recently when one of them described a large entity’s economic news as “an absolute abomination.”

No, it wasn’t Detroit going bankrupt, but Microsoft reporting its quarterly financials. The company missed analysts’ expectations on quarterly revenue and earnings per share.

So, how bad is bad? Microsoft earned only $19.9 billion in the quarter and only had a profit of $4.97 billion.

Only?

Analysts expected more, but we’re still talking billions in revenue and profits – staggeringly large numbers.

So, no need yet for Wall Street stockbrokers to leap from their buildings or contemplate selling apples on the street corner.

F

ormer National League MVP Ryan Braun made the right choice when he accepted a penalty for being tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.

Braun is suspended for the rest of the season and the

postseason, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary.

Another dozen or so baseball players – including former Mariner Alex Rodriguez – have been targeted by Major League Baseball following a report they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic. Will they all own up as well as Braun?

Let’s hope.

F

rom all reports, Paul McCartney’s concert July 19 at Safeco Field wowed the 47,000 people in the stands with a three-hour set of mostly Beatles songs. Not bad for a 71-year-old playing a lot of “oldies but goodies.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAID ONLINE

City should do better job getting info to citizens In response to James Truhan’s Aug. 2 column, “Ideas to improve Kirkland’s zoning process,” I completely agree with 3D visuals, including aerials of the proposed project in relationship with the surrounding area. Developers’ renderings are purposefully deceiving - some more than others.

City outreach should do a much better job of pushing this information out to the citizens.

Notice becomes a joke when it is disseminated on the city’s website late Friday for council to vote on the following Tuesday.

Preference should be given to the community rather than outside developers who have no stake in the community other than profit.

The only way to rectify this is for citizens to become vigilant, organized, vet the candidates’ leaning (not always possible) and vote.

Maureen Kelly, Kirkland

Ignoring citizens is not proactive James Truhan’s Aug. 2 column is an incredibly articulate recipe for improvement.

When the city answers that it does not give notice because it isn’t required to, it does not get it. When the city takes the developers’ side and tries to push through approvals, it does not get it.

When city leadership does not have a customer service ethic that includes responding to emailed questions from its

citizens, it does not get it.

Ignoring the citizens as a way to quiet the concern is not the route to productive/ proactive leadership.

Having attended many Design Review Board meetings, a 3D presentation made its way into the room at least five or six years ago. All in attendance applauded the presentation and yet it was treated as simply a novelty.

Current technology should be required when available. It becomes very evident that the city prides itself on development.

It does not pride itself on simply improving and protecting those businesses that exist today. There is an attitude that improvement will only come from developers providing that improvement.

In addition, the city needs a newfound determination to listen to the citizens (also known as voters).

There is a proven track record of assigning tasks and discussions to committees only to simply bury the recommendations that come from those efforts.

Look at the marina discussions in the late 90s, the downtown plan from the early 2000s and the proposals that came from the parking discussions. Look at the stance that there is no traffic issue on Lake Street and Lake Washington Boulevard.

Thank you, James, for what I hope is the beginning of a discussion on how to balance the needs of the city, the landowners and the citizens.

It is time for a change in city leadership to one that prioritizes service to its citizens, not just one that prioritizes the collection of development fees or prioritizes improvement of infrastructure simply through finding a developer that is willing to pay for those improvements in return for project approval.

Rob Brown, Kirkland

Warning signs a senior should stop driving

F

or most, driving means independence. The ability to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and take yourself from point A to point B exudes liberty, but what happens when you begin to lose your edge and driving modifications need to be made?

The United States expects the number of drivers over the age of 65 to double within the next 15 years, which means accidents for seniors could be on the rise.

Most people do not think about the time when their age prevents them from driving safely. However, age and health do play a significant role in safety behind the wheel.

Should the time come, and it will, it is important to be aware of the warning signs that you or your loved one should stop driving and give up the keys. Some of the most prominent warning signs include: • An increase in “close call” accidents or fullblown crashes. The accidents may involve other vehicles or objects, such as mailboxes, trees, fences and garage doors. If you find dents and scrapes on the vehicle of your beloved senior, it may be time to pose some questions.

• If your loved one frequently gets lost behind the wheel and is late for engagements, appointments or visits because of this issue it may be time to discuss a driving assessment with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

• Frequent experiences of road rage or getting angry behind the wheel may not be the most common sign of an inability to drive, but accompanied with other concerns may lead to a significant warning sign. If your loved one causes other drivers to get angry, honk or complain then you should pay attention to the problem. [ more SENIOR page 5 ] Sandra Cook

Volunteering and politics

– and then, get involved, volunteer to assist the campaign of your choice, or several.

An important thing to remember here is that council members generally have other jobs; they don’t have the time to make a full-time commitment – another reason they need our assistance.

Volunteering on political campaigns gives the volunteer an enormous advantage and inside look at civics and how our government is run at both the local and national level.

This experience is not provided today to our children in school.

You can demonstrate role modeling regarding activism and involvement in community affairs.

A speaker at a recent event I attended struck me with what he said. He said, “You really can’t complain if you don’t get involved.” Hmm – that hurt.

Volunteering in this manner has a leverage effect. If you can get your candidate or candidates elected, and they make the kind of representative decisions that you favor, you have changed outcomes. Imagine that.

Good luck, see you in the council chambers or ringing doorbells, or encouraging people to get out and vote.

Remember, send in suggested volunteer opportunities to the Kirkland Reporter, attn: Bill LaMarche.

VOLUNTEERS

O

h boy, I can’t wait for the feedback generated by this column.

I’ll put on my rain gear.

I and several colleagues recently had an enormous experience working with the Kirkland City Council to pass a resolution regarding corporate personhood and money in politics.

We had the chance to see how our local council worked, the pressures they are under and how private citizens (volunteers) can become involved to the point of benefiting the community. It was a great lesson.

So here goes.

The city of Kirkland now has election and reelection campaigns underway for a number of City Council seats that voter’s will choose in November.

Reelection campaigns are being held by incumbents Penny Sweet, Amy Walen and Doreen Marchione. And someone will replace Mayor Joan McBride.

Here’s what you can do: get involved.

That’s what it takes to make a difference. If you favor one of the incumbents or any of their challengers, get involved and help with the campaigns. This is our city.

These are direct-action opportunities that would profit enormously from volunteers like you and me who are willing to get involved.

But I can’t stand politics, you say.

Nothing ever changes, you say. Believe me, I’ve been there and done that as well. But this is our community and the council makes decisions based on the knowledge they have and the input from the citizenry (that’s us, by the way).

Look into the voting history of the incumbents, watch the videos of the Kirkland City Council meetings, get informed.

Talk to your neighbors – seek out advice and counsel on our local issues

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

• Difficulty performing head checks and having a hard time turning around in the seat before changing lanes can present a significant problem when driving and should be considered a warning sign.

Safety is critical when driving behind the wheel.

• Having trouble reading road signs, being able to tell if the light is green or red, and an inability to assess pavement markings is a prominent warning sign that your senior should stop driving because safety has become an issue.

• If your senior constantly becomes distracted while behind the wheel and has difficulty concentrating while driving it may be time to take a driving examination to see if there is a problem.

• Misjudgment in gaps of traffic at intersections and highway entrances and exits may mean that there is a problem with driving.

This issue may lead to compromised safety and security of the driver and others on the road.

If you know someone who shouldn’t be driving, you can visit the page Report Unsafe Driver (www.dol.wa.gov/ driverslicense/reportunsafe.html) and complete a driver evaluation request (forms can be found at: www.dol. wa.gov/forms/500008.pdf ).

Any physician or concerned citizen can complete this form.

The Washington DOL website states under state law, information the department receives about unsafe drivers isn’t confidential and will be provided to drivers or their attorneys upon written request.

However, don’t let that stop you from intervening when safety is at risk, according to the website.

of cancer at an early age.

“The crucial element is to be all heart,” Reed commented on his approach to public speaking. “Pour out your heart like a pitcher of love and hope for each person in your audience.

Love each and every one of them individually.”

In the competition, involving 30,000 people worldwide, Reed rose above hundreds of Toastmasters from the vast region between Kent and the Canadian border.

Eighty-six district-level winners from around the world advanced to the semifinal round after a six month process of elimination through club, area and district speech competitions. Their five-

to-seven-minute speeches were judged on content, organization, gestures and style.

“Toastmasters speech contests are another way to build your confidence, because you sharpen your skills and speak to many different audiences,” said Reed. “I am looking forward to competing on a much larger stage in Cincinnati.”

Reed’s work as a Microsoft software architect prompted him to join Toastmasters, which is known for its success in developing public speaking skills.

“Before I joined Toastmasters, I saw myself on a video speaking to thousands of people at

two different technical conferences,” recalls Reed.

“I could tell the guy on the video was terrible.”

Three years ago, Reed joined MicroToast, a Toastmasters club at Microsoft.

“I joined with the stated goal of learning to shut up,” said Reed. “I am still learning how to say effectively what needs to be said without rambling on.”

Since joining Toastmasters, Reed and his wife, Samia, have plunged into the organization in a major way. In addition to starting Redmond’s Wordwise Toastmasters, they find tremendous satisfaction in supporting the Voice Masters gavel club for 12 to 17 year-olds, to provide an accelerated head start

Ellen Webster has joined Otak as a civil engineering designer. She brings experience in roadway and site design for a variety of municipal projects. Prior to joining Otak, Webster served as treasurer and build leader for the Habitat for Humanity Club and was a Honduras project member for Engineers Without Borders.

Ahmed Kayanda has

joined Otak as a CAD technician. Prior to joining Otak, Kayanda was a CAD intern at a private engineering firm. He also has experience working with conservation architects for UNESCO to renovate and restore historical buildings in Zanzibar.

Nancy Acton has joined Otak as a receptionist and project assistant.

She brings more than 20

years of experience in administrative assistance and office management.

Acton earned her executive assistant certificate from the Business and Medical Training Center in Seattle.

Help Support the Great Work of these Hospitals Two of the best children’s hospitals in the country are located right here in the Northwest – Seattle Children’s Hospital and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Both of these facilities consistently rank among the best pediatric medical institutions in the United States.

Both also support and benefit from state-of-the-art research organizations that are leading the way in pioneering new treatments and finding cures for many vexing childhood ailments. These two hospitals are making a huge difference in the lives of thousands of children from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska every year.

Seattle Children’s Hospital and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are our Charities of the Month for August.

Seattle Children’s goal for every patient and their family can be summed up in three words: hope, care, cure. Offer every patient hope and care, and do everything possible to affect a cure. Whatever medical problem a child arrives with, there will probably be an expert doctor to treat it.

Seattle Children’s can call on the expertise of physicians in nearly 60 pediatric subspecialties who can provide inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. Patients also benefit from the wide-ranging research that is part of Seattle Children’s. As noted on Seattle Children’s website, “Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers, and is internationally recognized for its work in cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. It is among the top five pediatric medical research centers in terms of National Institutes of Health grant funding. In its quest to cure childhood disease, the research institute brings discoveries to

the bedside in partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.” The Foundation helps assure that every child from the geographic region that Children’s serves can count on being cared for, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

Like Seattle Children’s, Doernbecher Children’s Hospital combines patient care with cutting edge research. Doernbecher is part of Oregon Health & Science University.

This nationally ranked research institution has more than 4000 research studies underway and is involved more than 80 active pediatric clinical trials and databases. Doernbecher offers a broad range of pediatric care and treatment including: •

Pediatric bone marrow/stem cell transplants

•

Pediatric epilepsy surgery

•

Phase I clinical trials for new pediatric cancer therapies

•

Comprehensive care for infants, children and adolescents with brain tumors

•

Pediatric hemophilia services

•

Pediatric renal transplant

•

Treatment for inborn errors of metabolism

•

Most advanced non-invasive treatments for heart defects

TO CONTRIBUTE, HAND A DONATION CARD TO YOUR CHECKER.

Join QFC In Helping Children In Need.

A donation of as little as $1.00 could provide two diapers for babies weighing under 2 pounds in our Doernbecher Neonatal Care Center.

QFC is proud to support Seattle Children’s and Doernbecher Children’s as our Charities of the Month for August. If you would like to make a donation to support these institutions please hand a donation card to your cashier.

Thank you for your support.

Because of its stellar reputation, more than a quarter of all physicians in the U.S. pursuing pediatrics apply to Doernbecher each year as interns and residents.

the Washington State Department of Transportation faced challenges managing a complicated project that involved collaboration across the department, where roles and responsibilities were unclear, including who made decisions, who was accountable, and how the vendor was to be managed.

While the Washington State Department of Transportation has taken some steps to address the issues, the report notes the importance of resolving the challenges since the Legislature has authorized tolling on SR 99, I-405, and the I-5 Columbia River Crossing.

The report also said that while the department wanted a statewide system that would be easy for customers to use on multiple highways and bridges, the need to track tolls at each facility went beyond what was used by other states.

A complication was that the vendor didn’t understand the accounting needs until several months into the project.

The state also was working under a tight deadline in order to avoid losing a Federal Highway Administration grant to pay for the new tolling system.

Finally, because the department of transportation’s primary goal was to have an operational system, it delayed assessing damages and did not apply all available financial penalties for poor performance by the vendor, the report says. However, once

Kirkland team to reclaim Junior Softball World Series host berth

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The Washington Little League District 9 players include Tori Bivens, Carly Campana, Alex Hanger, Kayla Henry, Tatum Kawabata, Juliana Lynch, Lisa Nelson, Gianna Paribello, Brynn Radke, Natalie Vetto, Hannah Walker and Kristina Warford. Nolan Radke is the team’s manager, assisted by coaches Steve Bivens and John Warford. CONTRIBUTED

The Junior Softball World Series had one of its most controversial finishes in its history last year. Allegations of teams quitting on offense to take advantage of tournament rules in order to advance out of pool play overshadowed a historic performance by the host team.

But this year organizers are hoping to put the successes on the field back into the limelight by taking the tie-breaker by runs scored out of the pool play equation.

“Last year, and many years in the past, people have claimed that teams threw a game to avoid a tie,” said Junior Softball World Series Tournament Director John Chadwick.

“We made the change right after the tournament last year.”

The event will take place at Everest Field near downtown Kirkland on Aug. 11-17.

This year the 10 teams will compete in pool play from Monday through Thursday. Their pool play record will determine seeding for the championship tournament, held Friday through Sunday.

The bottom two teams in each pool-play division will not qualify for the tournament.

“It was done to avoid the conflicts with the [total score] ties. We were just annoyed, but that isn’t a strong enough word, at the continuous bickering last year,” said Chadwick.

“We worked with Williamsport to make the change right after the tournament last year. It is now win or you’re out, single elimination. You can’t manipulate the pool play standings anymore.”

Williamsport, Penn. is the home of the Little League Baseball and Softball organization. The tournament in Kirkland is the premier event for girls softball players ages 13-14.

The championship game, which draws between 1,500-2,000 spectators, is perennially broadcast on ESPN. This year will be no different, with the cameras fixed on Everest Park in Kirkland and Chadwick is expecting the tournament to bring in 10,000 people

overall.

The teams will come from as far away as Asia and Italy to play in the tournament. The squads have to win tournaments in the home areas. Those areas include the East (US), Southeast (US), Southwest (US), Central (US), West (US), Philippines, Europe (Italy), Latin America (Mexico) and Canada (BC or Ontario).

Chadwick hopes that attendance will be higher than last year with increased advertising and with some of the areas participating this year.

“We are hoping more in the Hispanic community will come out and support the team from Mexico,” said Chadwick. “They have had good support in the past.”

The Southwest team is expected to be from the Tampa, Fla. area.

“They were here two years ago and brought a good crowd,” said Chadwick.

The host team will again represent Washington Little League District 9 with 10 of the 13 players from last year.

That team from Kirkland achieved something last year that no host team has since 2002 by qualifying for the semifinals and ultimately placing third overall.

The team’s players are predominantly from Kirkland and the roster includes Tori Bivens, Carly Campana, Alex Hanger, Kayla Henry, Tatum Kawabata, Juliana Lynch, Lisa Nelson, Gianna Paribello, Brynn Radke, Natalie Vetto, Hannah Walker and Kristina Warford. Nolan Radke is the team’s manager, assisted by coaches Steve Bivens and John Warford.

Nolan Radke has managed a portion of the host team since they played tball at 5 years old. He said in addition to placing third in last year’s World Series, the team also won state in 2009-2011.

He said the team’s biggest challenge this year will be playing against the southern teams, which play year-round. His team has only played for three months.

However, this year the Kirkland team has maturity on their side.

“We were the youngest team in the tournament last year, with three girls who were 13 and the rest were 14, whereas the west (Alaska) team had one girl who was 14 and the rest were 15,” Nolan Radke said. “We will be an older team this year, bigger, stronger, more experience.”

He added the team also has two outstanding pitchers - Nelson and Bivens who “keep the team in the game.”

“It also helps that the team has been together so long that the girls know each others’ strengths and weaknesses and can help each other out,” he said.

Nolan Radke said his team also believes they can win.

“They know at any given time in the game someone can come through and break it open. They have confidence in their teammates to make a play or get a hit, so they are always supportive and cheering each other on,” he said.

“Historically the host team doesn’t do very well because they don’t have to go through state and regionals to qualify. Last year, we surprised a few folks, so that was fun.”

Chadwick hopes that the experience for the girls participating is one they will remember for the rest of their lives.

“I ran into some girls who played in the tournament four years ago and they said they still correspond with players from Europe,” said Chadwick. “We want them to develop friendships with new people from different cultures and just have better citizenship.”

That aim will be aided by the new format, with more focus on competition and less focus on the rules of the tournament.

“It was disappointing to have such a focus on that last year,” said Chadwick, who has been director for a decade-and-a-half. “The biggest change during the past 15 years has been the skills of the girls. They are phenomenally better and a lot more competitive than 15 years ago. We want to have that be the focus this year.”

After winning the District 9 title on July 11, the Kirkland American Little League (KALL) 11U All-Stars, fought, scratched, clawed, and played their way to a state championship in Gig Harbor.

The KALL All-Stars lost their first game to Camas 6-3 in six innings on July 20. It was a game of a few ups and one regrettable inning filled with errors. After the loss, the players hung their heads in defeat for a few short minutes and then set their eyes towards the next game on Monday.

At game time on July 22, the team took the field as if they had something to prove. They faced Salmon Creek and immediately began to climb their way back to the top with a 12-2 win in four innings.

Now the boys from KALL only had to win seven straight games to win the state title.

Moving into July 24, filled with confidence, KALL faced Burlington-Edison, and crushed them 15-2 in five innings. The trend continued for the next two days while the KALL boys stomped Walla Walla Pacific 17-5, then Chehalis 9-1, both in six innings.

Revenge is best served with a win. The Kirkland boys were now set against the team that beat them in their first game of the tournament, Camas. With all of their confidence that had built through the last four games, the KALL boys started out hot scoring one run in the first inning.

The rest of the game up until the sixth inning consisted of a few run-scoring threats for both sides, none of which materialized, leav-

Public meeting to discuss mayor, council salaries Aug. 27 The city of Kirkland Salary Commission is holding a public meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27 at City Hall in the Council Chamber to receive public input and discuss possible adjustments to the salaries of the mayor and council members.

Public comments may

ing the score 1-0 KALL in the top of the sixth. During the top of the sixth inning, Kirkland widened the gap with a three run, sixth inning and eventually winning with a score of 4-0.

Now needing only three more wins to become state champs, KALL faced North Bothell, a well coached, great defensive team. This game was also a pitching duel much like the game versus Camas. Kirkland managed to scratch together a run in the first and third innings and that was the difference in the game.

Having played seven games already, the KALL All-Stars now had to beat Pacific twice, the team hails from the Lynnwood/Edmonds area. The theme for these games coincided with the last two, displaying great defense, good pitching and clutch hitting.

Game one began with a double by KALL, but the threat was ended quickly by two strikeouts and a pop-up.

Pitching and defense stood up throughout the first three innings, but in the fourth, the KALL boys scratched together a run with the help of a base hit that bounced over the second baseman’s head.

Heading into the sixth inning, KALL had a 1-0 lead.

A walk began the inning that would seal the deal. Kirkland scored five runs in the top of the sixth inning, highlighted by a three-run blast off the bat of Jordan Sacks. Evan Liggett pitched great through five, one-third innings, and Dylan Kennedy came in and closed it for a win.

Game two was another hard fought, well-played game by both sides that started off with a bang. The Pacific team’s shortstop hit a soaring, deep home run in the second inning to give Pacific a 1-0 lead.

Just as you felt the momentum heading in Pacific’s direction during the bottom of the third, Jordan Sacks hit a solo shot to left field to tie the game and regain momentum for the Kirkland boys as they scored two more in the inning. After a few errors in the top of the fourth by Kirkland, Pacific scored a run and closed the gap to 3-2. After a scoreless fifth inning, the Kirkland starting pitcher, Alex Levine, recorded two quick outs in the sixth just to have to face the Pacific’s home run hitting shortstop again.

You could feel the electricity in the air as the at-bat went on with the count running to 2-0. The next three pitches would ultimately seal the game, all strikes, finishing a complete game gem thrown by Alex Levine.

The Kirkland American Little League 11U All-Stars displayed all of the things that you want to see in an individual, a player and a team.

Their resilience, drive, positive attitudes, and sportsmanship were prevalent throughout the tournament and are commended by their parents, coaches and fans.

The Kirkland American Little League 11U All-Stars consisted of the following players: Nicholas Anderson, Blake D’Ambrosio, Andrew Davis, James Gardner, Dylan Kennedy, Alex Levine, Evan Liggett, Taylor Rickels, Stephan Rohacek, Sean Royal, Jordan Sacks, Kyle Uber and Kobe Westre.

The team is managed by Todd Kennedy and coached

by Hunter Liggett and Kevin Rickels.

Unleash your inner pirate. Get a taste of life on the high seas as two historic ships dock in Kirkland, including one used in the 2003 film, “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.”

Both vessels will be moored at Carillon Point from Aug. 27-Sept. 2.

The Lady Washington may be better known to movie buffs as the HMS Interceptor from the first film in the Disney “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy.

In the film, Capt. Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, steals the Interceptor with the help of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom).

When not playing a role in the movies, the Lady Washington is the official ship of the state of Washington. The vessel is a fullscale reproduction of the original Lady Washington, the first American vessel to reach the West coast in 1788.

The modern version, 112 feet in length, was

constructed in Aberdeen, Wash., by master shipwrights. The second ship is a topsail ketch, Hawaiian Chieftain, a replica of a typical European merchant trader popular during the late 19th century. Built in 1998, it was originally designed for cargo trade.

A full schedule of public dockside tours, evening sails and battle sails (family-friendly or adultsonly) will be available during Labor Day week at Carillon Point.

For the dockside tours, crew in period dress will demonstrate basic seafaring skills, share stories and make maritime history come alive. On the ticketed sails, passengers get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn about life on the high seas while enjoying stunning views of Lake Washington. Adventure sails and battle cruises depart from the Carillon Point guest dock.

Here is the daily schedule: • Wednesday, Aug. 28: 6 p.m. evening sail on the Hawaiian Chieftain.

BRIEFS

Evergreen named among best hospitals in Washington EvergreenHealth is proud to announce it has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the top two hospitals in Washington state and the Seattle metro area for 2013-14. The U.S. News “Best Hospitals” rankings, released today, are now in their 24th year of recognizing hospitals that excel in treating patients with challenging conditions and medical issues.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized as one of the best options for healthcare not only in the Puget Sound region but in the entire state,” said Bob Malte, CEO of EvergreenHealth.

“This distinction from U.S. News & World Report is a first for our team and we are honored to share this recognition across our entire organization.”

According to this year’s report, EvergreenHealth is the highest ranking non-teaching hospital in Washington. The rankings also indicate that EvergreenHealth is the No. 2 hospital in both the region and the state for providing the best care for the most serious or complicated medical conditions and procedures.

U.S. News publishes its annual “Best Hospitals” rankings to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or added risk because of other health problems or age.

In addition, U.S. News recognized EvergreenHealth for high performance in 10 specialty areas, which is the highest number of specialty recognitions earned by a hospital in Washington state.

Those high-performing specialties include cancer, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology.

Among other topperforming hospitals is Virginia Mason Medical Center, a strategic partner of EvergreenHealth. Virginia Mason is ranked among the best hospitals in Seattle and Washington state for the fourth consecutive year, and earned recognition for several of its high-performing specialties.

U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 adult specialties.

In most specialties, it ranks the nation’s top 50 hospitals and recognizes other high-performing hospitals that provide care at nearly the level of their nationally ranked peers. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.

“A hospital that emerges from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of,” said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. “Only about 15 percent of hospitals are recognized for their high performance as among their region’s best.”

The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Triangle Park, N.C. U.S. News produced the state and metro rankings using the same data.

The rankings have been published at http://health. usnews.com/best-hospitals and will appear in print in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2014 guidebook, available in bookstores and on newsstands August 27.

Local author’s memoir to aid homeless families in transition A local non-profit is receiving a gift of books from a Kirkland insurance agency with hopes the story will encourage men and women faced with the challenge of homelessness.

John Cysewski, owner of Insur-All Agency in Kirkland, purchased 20 copies of “Pieces of Me: Life of a Recovering Dysfunctional” for donation to Vision House.

Vision House, founded in Renton in 1990, provides transitional housing and services to homeless single mothers and their children.

Residents are allowed and encouraged to stay up to 36 months in order to gain stability and self-sufficiency.

Its new Jacob’s Well housing complex in Shoreline is opening this fall, increasing Vision House’s capacity to accommodate 35 families.

On-site counseling services, case management, child advocacy programs and licensed, accredited daycare are some of the key services available to residents.

“Pieces of Me” is a personal story of perseverance in the face of many struggles endured by local business-

woman Diana Lynn. Lynn overcame the challenges that accompanied young motherhood, an abusive relationship and divorce, estrangement from one parent and death of another, starting a business, and finding a new relationship. Through it all, she remained optimistic and upbeat. Her story is an inspiration to readers of all ages.

Lynn met Cysewski at business networking functions. He heard her story and sought a way that it could help others. Vision House’s mission offered that.

Cysewski’s Insur-All Agency at 11416 Slater Ave. NE in Kirkland supplies Allstate Insurance products that provide support of one sort.

His donation of Pieces of Me will lend support in another manner.

Learn more about Vision House at www.vision-house. org. “Pieces of Me” can be found online through Amazon.com or can be ordered at local bookstores.

Friends of Youth welcomes Evergreen as new Safe Place Friends of Youth recently welcomed its newest partner, EvergreenHealth, as a new King County Safe Place.

In keeping with Safe Place’s mission, EvergreenHealth’s Kirkland and Redmond emergency departments now will be available to connect youth in crisis with immediate help.

The new partnership was announced recently with the assistance of FOY at the Healthiest Best Fair at EvergreenHealth, which serves the same Eastside population as FOY programs.

King County’s Safe Place is part of a national network of more than 20,000 partnering businesses and community locations that display the yellow diamond Safe Place sign. When youth enter the designated Safe Places and ask for help, trained staff members are able to connect them with resources to help them stay safe and resolve the crisis.

Safe Place was launched in King County in August 2011 as a collaboration among three nonprofit agencies serving the county’s children and teens: Friends of Youth in north and east King County, Auburn Youth Resources in south King County and YouthCare in Seattle.

As awareness of the program and the number of Safe Place sites has grown, requests for help are increasing, said FOY CEO Terry

Pottmeyer.

“It is critical that young people in crisis have a safe way to seek help, instead of turning to the streets where they are vulnerable to predators,” she said. “We are pleased to welcome EvergreenHealth to the Safe Place collaboration to increase outreach into the community. The King County program has become one of the largest Safe Place networks in the country.”

Barbara Jensen, trauma and preparedness program manager for EvergreenHealth, added, “This new partnership with Friends of Youth is an incredibly important one for our organization and the community. We are proud to join many of the other businesses and groups in King County to extend the Safe Place program and connect teens with resources when they need them most.”

Since launching, more than 170 young people have accessed services through Safe Place King County partners and agencies. Expansion of the program to include additional partners such as EvergreenHealth is made possible by a generous grant from United Way of King County to fund outreach. Additional Safe Place sites on the Eastside help get children and teens

off the street and linked to shelter, counseling and services: Metro Transit buses, King County Library System libraries, YMCA of Greater Seattle facilities, Kirkland Teen Union Building and the Redmond Old Firehouse Teen Center.

FOY provides a comprehensive range of therapeutic services for youth, young adults and families on the road to self-sufficiency.

With more than 60 years of experience, national accreditation, 20 sites and programs serving 17 cities, the agency provides safe places to live and emotional support for youth and families in challenging circumstances.

Registration open for Kirkland’s CERT Registration is now open for Kirkland’s eightweek-long Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training program.

The program is scheduled to begin Wednesday, Sept.

11 and continues for eight consecutive Wednesdays from 6 to 9 p.m.

Classes will be held at the Northshore Baptist Church, 10301 NE 145th St., Kirkland. To register, visit www. kirklandwa.gov/cert.

Registration is $35 for

Kirkland residents; $50 for non-residents. The fee includes a learning manual, hardhat, vest, backpack and emergency supplies and must be paid at the time of registration.

Community Emergency Response Training is a hands-on course taught

by Kirkland firefighters that trains citizens how to support their neighborhoods and community by preparing for and responding to disasters when first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand.

Participants learn about readiness, how to help others, quick decision making skills and rescuer safety.

Classes include instruction in disaster preparedness, medical operations, fire suppression, light search and rescue operations, disaster psychology and team organization.

The series of classes ends with a disaster simulation held on Nov. 3. A graduation ceremony will be held before the City Council.

Additional information and registration forms are available at www.kirklandwa.gov/CERT or by contacting Christina Brugman, volunteer, Kirkland Office of Emergency Management at CBrugman@kirklandwa. gov.
