irkland City Council candidate Martin Morgan owes the city more than $8,000 in unpaid utilities, which he said stems from an ongoing civil dispute with his neighbor over his water line.

Records from the city’s Finance and Administration Department show that Morgan has a delinquent balance of $8,078 in water and garbage fees from one of his three adjacent Kirkland homes in the 8000 block of 122nd Ave. NE. The city issued a second lien against

Morgan’s home on March 7, 2012 for two years of unpaid balances totaling $7,336.

The first lien was issued in 2011 and is no longer active.

The last payment Morgan made on the delinquent account was on May 20, 2011 for $250, according to his utility bill account history report.

But Morgan said he refuses to pay the balance, at least for now.

“It’s all caused from my neighbors,” said Morgan, who is vying for Position 1 against Jay Arnold.

New businesses to open with Slater 116

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

New businesses are coming to the Totem Lake area as workers put the last touches on Slater 116, an apartment building set to be complete by the end of this year.

So far, executives have secured TD Curran, Urban Coffee Lounge and Main Street Builders to occupy three of the six retail spaces available within the 10,000-squarefoot base.

“It’s been great fun leasing the project,” said Pat Lindsey, the associate vice president of Kidder Mathews, the listing agent for the space. “It’s beautiful, the apartments are renting very well.”

Lindsey said there’s been quite a bit of interest in the remaining three retail spaces that face 124th Avenue Northeast. The list-

ing agent is continuing to look for food-type businesses and quasi-retail or office-type tenants that might include a dentist, optical, interior design or attorney business.

But it’s certainly an exciting time for those who have already committed, tenants say.

TD Curran TD Curran, an Apple retail specialist store, will celebrate their grand opening at 10 a.m. on Oct. 26 with $5,000 worth of computer accessory freebies and a drawing for a free 13-inch MacBook Pro. TD Curran is an independent Apple dealer that offers Mac computers, iPhones served by Verizon Wireless, iPads, iPods, accessories and provides a learning center for Apple users to learn the technology for $99 a year.

dispute with his neighbors in 2009, when he unsuccessfully ran for council against Mayor Joan McBride.

Police records showed nearly 40 calls were made to the Kirkland Police Department between 2006-2009 by Morgan or his neighbors.

Many of those calls were prompted by a dispute over a utility easement in which Morgan’s water line, which runs under his neighbor’s driveway, is located.

The city first notified Morgan of a possible leak in his water line in 2005, according to city documents. At that time, he said his bills were consistently more than $1,000 per month.

However, he said after an altercation with his neighbor in 2008 that resulted in his arrest, Morgan said he avoided fixing his water leak. During that incident, Morgan sprayed three of his neighbors with a garden hose after an argument about the water main, according to the police report and Kirkland Municipal Court charging documents. An officer also discharged his taser and shot a dart into Morgan’s back after Morgan fled inside his house, the documents continue.

He later pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault and resisting arrest, but he said the court would dismiss his guilty conviction, pending a one-year

[ JAMES from page 1]

probationary sentence.

Morgan said he was forced to avoid fixing his water leak in an attempt to stay out of trouble with his neighbors to get his guilty conviction expunged from his record.

“I also couldn’t fix the leak without fear of being arrested on my property,” Morgan said, noting his neighbor also sprayed him with the hose a week before his arrest.

He noted in correspondence with the city, assistant attorney Oskar Rey “was always insinuating that if I was out there digging that I would be arrested. So I had enough of that,” he said.

However, in a letter the city sent to Morgan in 2008 and again on April 28, 2011, Rey said the Kirkland Police Department was aware that Morgan needed to repair or replace his water line.

“If you do so in a lawful and reasonable manner, the city will not get involved,” Rey said, noting that the city was not in a position to provide legal advice regarding the utility easement because it is a civil matter. “In this regard, you may want to consider retaining a licensed plumbing contractor to do the work - doing so would likely minimize the possibility of disputes with your neighbor.”

Morgan said he asked the city to shut off his water main in 2011.

“Finally I said, ‘Screw you, I’m not paying it,’” Morgan recalled of his

utility bill. “I quit paying the bill to force the issue that the city would have to turn the water off so I could fix [the broken water main] … They knew the day they shut it off I would go in and get a back hoe to fix it.”

He also questions why the city waited so long before staff turned off his water on June 15, 2011.

“Why wait? This is one of the reasons why I do what I do because I know the city is flawed down there and I know who it is,” Morgan said.

Tracey Dunlap, director of the city’s Finance and Administration Department, said that Morgan did not request for his water to be shut off until his water line was already leaking for several years.

“In 2011, he asked why we didn’t turn off the meter when we knew there was a leak but we don’t do that,” Dunlap said. “We notify the customer that water is leaking.”

City records show that staff informed Morgan about his water leak on several occasions, including in 2005 when the leak was discovered.

Morgan said he did not seek a legal resolution to his civil dispute because it would be too costly.

But he has since replaced his water line.

He also said he hopes voters will look past this issue.

“It’s just what it is,”

Morgan said. “I don’t want to make this about me. What I realized during this is how the city doesn’t care. We work for them and I don’t like that; they should work for us. They should help us resolve things. Residents deserve better.”

He said if voters elect him, he hopes to “be the guy who’s easily accessible by every resident. I’m not a politician; I’m not a rubber stamp. I want the city to be run by citizens.

I want the city to be held accountable … I want to be a council member who echoes the citizens’ concerns.”

But his opponent asks voters to decide.

“I do think it’s a distraction for him, at least that he’s got some personal things to settle,” Arnold said. “I think it’s something voters should consider.”

Meanwhile, Dunlap said Morgan’s utility bill will continue to accrue additional base charges for water and garbage.

She said city staff are currently having conversations with Waste Management to find out if the company is picking up garbage at his home with the lien, which will determine if the city reduces

the outstanding balance on his utility bill.

“I want to find a true resolution,” Morgan added. “If there’s some part of what I owe by my average usage, I’m good with that. I’m not trying to get out of obligations; I just want it to be fair and amicable.”

The city of Kirkland has also sued Morgan twice for various code enforcement violations, with the first lawsuit resulting in a $20,000 fine he currently owes the city’s collection agency. Morgan has until 2016 to pay the fine, according to a settlement agreement.

Hirt is best person for the EvergreenHealth job I care about listening to the needs of the people that EvergreenHealth serves. That is why I’ve been spending countless hours calling more than 1,000 voters in this last month alone to find out their concerns and health care needs and directing them to my website at reelectrebecca.com where they can not only learn a bit more about me, but also learn a little more about the job of a hospital commissioner via a short video.

As an experienced commissioner on the hospital board, I’m proud of the work I’ve been a part of - building Evergreen from a small community hospital to an awardwinning regional medical center in the 21st century. I have a solid record of always looking to the future, promoting improvements at EvergreenHealth as evidenced by the Booth Gardner’s Parkinson’s Center, MS Center, Cancer Center, Home Health Services, Senior Services, Family Maternity Center, Hospice and most recently Midwifery Care Center.

During the time I’ve served, the Family Maternity Center quickly became the model of care adopted by other hospitals and in the 1990s, Evergreen continued to provide home health services when other hospitals stopped.

These were groundbreaking endeavors and I hope that the voter will re-elect me so that I can continue to promote more of the same.

The president of the board Al DeYoung has stated that my opponent is the best man for the job. And if the voter chooses who to elect based on gender, well, I certainly can’t pass for a man! I believe that our community deserves a balanced board made up of both men and women and based on my experience and track record, I believe that while I’m not the best man for the job, I am the best person for the job.

Rebecca Hirt, Kirkland

Vote for Hirt to continue excellent leadership It is important to continue to have qualified women’s voices on the EvergreenHealth board of commissioners and the qualified voice of Rebecca Hirt is one we need to retain.

I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Rebecca Hirt on the Evergreen Community Advisors since 2007.

Rebecca brings a wealth of experience and solid judgment to her job and her background as a medical technologist provides the board with analytical skills and health industry background. This is one of the many reasons voters should choose to re-elect Rebecca Hirt to the EvergreenHealth board of commissioners.

Women are often the ones making the health care decisions for their families and so it is important that the hospital board is gender-balanced to closely match our community’s demographics. Of the five current commissioners, only two are women. If challengers in positions 2 and 5 win, there would be no women at all representing our community on the hospital board. This election is our opportunity to keep that balance.

Rebecca has shown continued commitment to the hospital and community through a period of population growth and changes in technology that better serve the hospital patients. At a time when we have seen many local hospitals struggle financially, merge with private hospitals, and patients experience a subsequent loss of access to reproduc-

tive care, Evergreen has not needed to go down that path.

During Rebecca’s tenure as a commissioner, EvergreenHealth has weathered a very difficult economy while maintaining excellent quality of care and staying in great financial condition. Please vote to continue this excellent leadership and re-elect Rebecca Hirt.

Shelley Kloba, Kirkland City Council

Al DeYoung’s professional conduct in question According to Public Disclosure Commission records (the people at the state who keep track of campaign expenditures), more than $50,000 has been given by Al DeYoung (president of the EvergreenHealth board of commissioners) and family to the opponent of one of his fellow commissioners.

The question we all should be asking: Why? As a long-time school board director and currently holding a similar position as Al DeYoung, I am hard-pressed to explain his actions to unseat another board member.

There doesn’t seem to be any logical reason for this type of investment, which makes me ask the question “why” again.

A board needs to be made up of independent voices — not ones beholden to the president or chair of the board.

Jackie Pendergrass, Kirkland

Hirt is impartial, with indepth background Both anecdotal and real information available to us, it’s pretty obvious that Rebecca Hirt is the better choice for the EvergreenHealth board of commissioners. Impartiality and an in-depth background in the health care industry is pretty important. I hope that readers are paying attention to this race.

Rosanne Cohn, Redmond Kirkland Council needs Henkens, Morgan Is diversity a good thing that government should support? A deliberative problemsolving organization is best served when its members aren’t all of the same yes-man philosophy but bring diversity of backgrounds and approaches. Two heads are better than

one, the saying goes.

The current Kirkland City Council, and most of the first-time candidates, are of the public sector or government school of thought. While experience in government sounds relevant, a council with a supermajority of government-think has only one head; it will not innovate “out of the box” to adapt positively to changing times with the agility of a small business - like the one candidate Bill Henkens owns - or the innovation of a tech company like Google.

Two specific and relevant differences of a business compared to government are that businesses create rather than receive wealth, and businesses live or die on results, not intentions. Bill Henkens has grown a business and employed more people, and has done so at well above typical service-economy wages.

He and Amy Walen are the only serious job creators on or running for the Council.

In contrast, Doreen Marchione has been either a politician or a political party official who fund raises or taxes but hasn’t created wealth. Jay Arnold touts himself as a small business founder, but his main claim to fame is with Fuse Washington (he’s the second person listed at fusewashington.org/about/ staff.html), a close ally of the Occupy Wall Street movement (fusemagazine.org/2011/10/ occupy-politics critiques the Occupy movement only in that the Occupy name appears colonialist and oppressive rather than supportive of oppressed peoples; the article describes its own intention as “the intention here is to radicalize the rhetoric around the movement and orient it clearly towards social justice and anti-imperialism – not to “shut it down” or create division.”).

Whatever you think of Occupy, we can agree it is not the socioeconomic model for Kirkland’s livability.

The council has plenty enough government experience already. It needs diverse and contrasting views to be well-rounded. It needs Bill Henkens and Martin Morgan.

K-Y Su, Kirkland Hypocrisy on display on editorial page I find the hypocrisy on display on the editorial page of the Oct. 11 edition of the Kirkland Reporter stunning.

Your editorial comment on ending the [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

www.kirklandreporter.com (partial) government shutdown includes the sentence “[T]his mess (the government shutdown) never should have happened in the first place.” This is an observation everyone could agree on; however, you then proceed to place the blame for the stalemate solely on the shoulders of “some House Republicans,” leaving the implication that any efforts to rein in the out-of-control spending binge that has put the country on an unsustainable trajectory are “a disservice to the American public.”

You then proceed to characterize the actions of those members of Congress who have voiced a legitimate concern about the excesses in government spending as “the unseemly conduct of a few House Republicans.”

You proceed to ask, “Will House Republicans next target Medicare? How about Social Security?” Well - how about Social Security? It is no secret that failure to “target” Social Security will result in a bankrupt system unable to pay benefits to qualified recipients.

You then have the temerity to publish, on the same page, a political cartoon depicting Monsanto, DuPont, et al. as evil corporate entities attempting to deceive and poison the public with food from genetically-modified crops (GMOs). Have you not read the actual text of Initiative 522? You apparently believe that scare-mongering is more effective than truthful and accurate reporting based on sound scientific research. The letter by Ms. Bastien, which appears on the same page, says it all. You could do your readers a real service by attempting to educate, rather than mischaracterize efforts by others to actually inform the public on the issue.

Apparently, although you are clearly supportive of President Obama and the Democrat Party (of which he is the leader), you seem to have forgotten his words at the University of Arizona following the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords: that it was time to “pause for a moment, and to make sure that we are talking to each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds. We need to sharpen our instincts for empathy.” “We can question each other’s ideas without questioning each other’s love of country.”

Please cancel immediately my subscription to the Kirkland Reporter. I have no time or interest in biased reporting that passes for “journalism.” Oh, I forgot, I never actually subscribed. It just occasionally appears in my driveway without invitation.

Williams passionate advocate for community I have served on as a trustee of the foundation board for EvergreenHealth Medical Center with Kinnon Williams since 2010.

We have worked together in board meetings and on committees, and have come to know each other well.

I have found Mr. Williams to be a passionate advocate for the well-being of this community. He has a strong work ethic and energy. He brings his legal expertise, and his common sense approach to the work of the board. He is also a careful steward of public resources.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Williams to the voters, for the position of hospital commissioner. He has my vote.

Amy Walen, Kirkland City Council

Government shutdown is entirely accurate In response to Grand Beaver’s letter printed on Oct. 18, I would like to say that the term “shutdown” is entirely accurate to describe the government’s situation. All non-essential services had no funding approved, and were

shut down. Essential services kept going, despite lack of approval for funding, which does not make the non-essential services any less shut down. Workers were furloughed, in the public and private sector as well, just as Boeing Co. stated they might have had to start giving some of their employees notice. The Department of the Interior did have to shut down the parks and memorials they maintain, while keeping some staff on duty. They had no funds.

Republicans submitted multiple proposals to reopen the government, all with some grand Republican demand, and wouldn’t simply pass a clean funding bill. They’d only fund the government if they could defund Obamacare, or delay the individual mandate, or deny Congress insurance plan subsidies, or block net neutrality, or change the rules on the debt ceiling so the next time it would be worse. As Rep. Marlin Stutzman said, “We have to get something out of this. And I don’t know what that even is.”

Democrats passed a clean resolution with no Democratic demands. They didn’t want the government shutdown at all and wanted to fund everything as it was - definitely not to extend hardship or finger point. And that’s why the Tea Party and Republicans are rightfully seen as responsible for the shutdown, with approval ratings lower than ever.

Congress is elected to work for the people, not to shut down the government. The Tea Party is not doing what they are elected to do, and that fight is not the right thing. The Tea Party is not elected to create a shutdown that costs us an estimated $24 billion.

You’re free to oppose the Affordable Care Act, or any other act passed into law. That isn’t an allowance to shut down all of government over your demands, to threaten going over the debt ceiling, because of one law that Congress doesn’t even need to pass a budget for.

Alex Guenser, Kirkland

Misinformed editorial on government shutdown I was a little surprised to see that there was no name attached to your recent editorial page, interesting. At least if you are going to give a liberal point of view, give a contrasting one by someone else.

Consequently, I won’t be reading your paper any longer, as I think that is very smallminded of you and the person who wrote the editorial regarding the government shutdown.

If you were well-informed, you would know that there are pros and cons but you obviously don’t know any better, nor do you care.

Kathryn Hale, Kirkland

Disgust at city over parking citation I am writing to express my displeasure and disgust at the city of Kirkland for giving me a parking citation on the Columbus Day holiday. I had dinner at the Wilde Rover, and although I usually park at the library and walk, I have a broken foot and was unable to walk that far so I parked behind the restaurant.

My calendar said Oct. 14 was a holiday, my bank was closed in observance of the holiday and I got no mail that day. The parking sign said no payment is needed on Sundays and holidays. The parking money collector didn’t have any signage as to which days Kirkland considers holidays, so I didn’t pay the lousy $3 and went to the restaurant, only to return to my vehicle with a $35 fine.

Rest assured that next time I wish to dine out I will drive to nearby Bellevue, where there is plenty of hassle-free parking. If the city of Kirkland is so ticket happy, then business will fail due to no fault of their own.

Teen hit, injured by SUV in Kirkland crosswalk

By Raechel Dawson rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

A 17-year-old boy sustained minor injuries when a vehicle struck him in a crosswalk on Oct. 17.

The accident caused traffic backup that evening as Kirkland police and fire assessed the incident in the Finn Hill neighborhood.

A police traffic collision report, obtained through public records, states the boy walked into a designated crosswalk on 84th

Avenue Northeast at the intersection of Northeast 141st Street. He was then hit by a 55-year-old woman driving a 2009 Ford Explorer northbound and he flew backwards several feet.

The boy suffered a chipped tooth, cut lip, scraped elbow and knee.

He was taken to EvergreenHealth Medical Center to be further evaluated after giving a statement to police.

He told police he intended to get to the bus stop on the west side of 84th Avenue Northeast. Wearing headphones, he saw the SUV but “thought that they would stop as he was entering the crosswalk.”

The woman and two witnesses state it appeared the boy did not look both ways before quickly walking directly in front of the SUV. The vehicle was no more than 20 to 25 feet away from the crosswalk, the

Man robs frozen yogurt shop of $235 rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland police are searching for a man who robbed $235 from a Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt cash register Oct 15.

Menchie’s owner Ramon Cruz said the robbery, which occurred at 9:43 p.m., went pretty fast and his employees handled it very smoothly.

“My team members did a fantastic job of just complying,” Cruz said, who opened the Totem Lake yogurt shop in August. “Nothing else occurred, nobody was hurt.”

He said a white man wear-

ing a hood and his sweater pulled up over the bottom part of his face told the cashier to open the till.

Cruz said he grabbed the money and left, adding that it seemed he knew where the store cameras were because his face wasn’t captured on film.

Police arrived shortly after and stayed until midnight, Cruz said.

“The nice thing was that they got footprints and some fingerprints,” he said.

Cruz said he had no worry or concern about the potential for robberies when he moved his business

to Totem Lake because “it looks pretty safe” but now he hopes to speak with some of his neighboring tenants to understand if this has been a problem before.

“I was thinking nobody would be foolish to do it because people can see inside,” he said. “All the lights were on.”

Although the store has security cameras, Cruz said team members will now be advised to lock the doors as they prepare to close the store, which closes at 10 p.m.

A second witness said she didn’t think the SUV driver would have time to stop. After the boy was hit, she saw the driver immediately pull over and the boy pull out his cell phone to tell someone he was just involved in an accident shortly after impact.

BluesBusters to ease depression for seniors during holidays

W

ith daylight growing shorter and holiday decorations beginning to festoon the stores, it can be a sensitive time for seniors.

Already more prone to depression than young people,

the problem can be exacerbated for those worrying about how the circumstances and processes of aging may change the coming holiday season.

The Emeritus “BluesBusters” will be out in force

this month to help local seniors not only survive the holidays, but thrive.

Depression affects 15 percent of Americans over age 65, according to the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation; this figure is 5 percent higher

It is that time!

than the overall population.

“From experience, we know that for seniors, this time of year can be a trigger,” said Tami Moore a regional director in Emeritus’s Mountain Division. “Increased hours of darkness can lower their spirits. Additionally, they may be thinking about how the inability to travel will keep them from spending the holidays with family. For those who have lost spouses or others dear to them, they might be worrying about getting through seasonal festivities without their loved ones at their side.”

To combat the problem, the “BluesBusters,” a group of professionals from Emeritus in the Seattle region, will

be visiting area seniors in their homes this month to conduct a complimentary emotional wellness check, providing tools and resources to engage them in activities known to fight depression.

“These include exercise, which is a natural mood elevator; activities that give a mental and physical lift; and socializing,” said Moore, noting that numerous studies have shown engagement with other people improves health mentally and physically.

As part of the BluesBusters’ initiative, the seniors will be invited to take part in six free activities and events at Emeritus communities, such as exercise and art

classes, concerts, parties and dining opportunities.

The BluesBusters effort is part of Emeritus’ complimentary Home Visits program, in which professionals periodically visit area seniors in their homes to provide companionship and support.

In the past year, Emeritus Senior Living has conducted more than 70,000 free home visits.

If you would like to recommend a local senior for a visit by the BluesBusters, locate and contact your nearest community at www. emeritus.com. Emeritus at Kirkland is located at 6505 Lakeview Drive, Kirkland.

ties accept diabetics who can self-manage their insulin if they are using this as a way to care for their health. The issue arises when seniors are not able to do this, because of mental deterioration, blindness, or other physical needs.

DSHS requires that a community have a nurse there to provide the insulin shots.

What if a senior can do his/her own insulin shots? DSHS is still very clear on asking for a plan B. And as most seniors move in to a community alone, that plan B would need to be a nurse.

In a nutshell, families and seniors with diabetes looking for a community should always ask about the community’s diabetes care plan. We are so used to hearing about people with diabetes that most people inquiring will forget to mention this and it

SENIOR LIVING

As we grow older, diabetes tends to be one of the diseases that affects the most our seniors. In fact, the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3 percent of the total United States population has diabetes, of which 18.8 million people are diagnosed and about seven are undiagnosed. Out of all these people, 10 million people are age 65 years or older.

In a study from 2007, diabetes was believed to have contributed to 231,404 deaths that year. The complications from diabetes are many, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, neuropathy, amputation and more.

One of the many issues diabetic seniors encounter is finding a place to live. Typical assisted living communi-

While they may not last forever or even be perfect, first experiences of intimate relationship, which often occur during adolescence, are deeply significant.

Dating relationships during these years provide a relational environment for exploring areas of physical attraction, emotional and sexual intimacy, and skills of communication. It’s a developmental time for young people experiencing themselves as relational beings and learning to assert their desires and

needs within an intimate context.

Early dating experiences offer great teaching and lay foundational imprints which help shape the choices we make about love as adults. For this reason, it’s an important time for parents and young people to engage in conversations about healthy or abusive relationships, sexual decision-making, and how our dating choices impact life directions.

As adolescents develop dating relationships, it’s especially crucial for parents to assist their teen in creating a dating experience honoring and

respectful to both parties. Currently, abuse and violence have increased dramatically among dating youth. It’s estimated one in three girls will experience an abusive dating relationship by the time she graduates high school.

Controlling behavior by either partner must be addressed in order to prevent this climbing trend of abuse. Texting and sexting deserve our attention here.

The power of family matters. The greatest contexts for teens discovering expectations, desires, and behaviors for dating relationships develop from the modeling within their own

Google campus site.

Event parking is available at the South Kirkland Park and Ride, 10610 NE 38th Place, and a free shuttle will run until 4 p.m. between the end and start locations. Participants are encouraged to complete the entire 5.75 mile corridor and will be eligible to receive an original rail spike. Event information is available at www.kirklandwa. gov/crosskirklandcorridor.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for walkers, joggers, and wide-tire bicyclists to experience the Corridor and learn about what the community is envisioning for the long-term development of the corridor,” noted Mayor Joan McBride. “The corridor is an incredible community asset and we intend to develop it to meet the needs of the community and region.”

REDUX benefit auction on Oct. 5.

More than 200 people filled the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue to sustain and support the center’s programs and outreach, as well as the continued preservation of its historic landmark building.

This year, the Kirkland Arts Center celebrates 51 years of establishment as a pillar of the Kirkland community and the predominant art center in Eastside Seattle.

Thanks to more than 60 local artists who provided the backdrop for an art installation, and the generosity of many individuals and businesses, the live and silent auctions were able to generate real energy and funds during the bidding process. An auction committee and numerous enthusiastic volunteers worked tirelessly to make the event a spectacular success.

And, the center could not have accomplished REDUX without the very generous support of its sponsors, including Washington Holdings, Coughlin Porter Lundeen, Foster Pepper, Main Street Property Group, Stuart Silk Architects and Museum

Quality Framing.

“I am excited to see such strong support of this community treasure, and grateful to be able to start much-needed repair work to our building and implement additional art programs,” said the center’s Executive Director Pamela Kirk Rembold.

Kirkland Arts Center promotes artistic mastery and public participation in the visual arts through innovative classes, contemporary exhibitions and events.

The organization was founded as the Creative Arts League in 1962 by a group of artists and citizens interested in providing local opportunities in the arts and concerned about the preservation of a Kirkland landmark, the Peter Kirk Building. For more than 50 years, the Kirkland Arts Center has owned and maintained this historic structure and transformed it into an exhibition gallery, community arts studio and education facility serving students of all ages and skill levels.

all is in the air — and so are the rituals of high school. Past weekends have been filled with homecoming traditions of football games and formal dances.

While many students attend these events as friends, this is also a time when teens launch into dating.

These years are priceless as young people navigate matters of the heart. The encounters of infatuation and first love are among the most meaningful relationship experiences we know in early years.

family, in their community, and from exposure to media messages. What is your son or daughter learning about relationships from the modeling he/she experiences in your home, on your television, or in your social circles?

Are these images supporting or preventing the desires you have for your son or daughter’s experience in relationship?

These years of adolescent dating will likely be filled with both great joy and tender heartache.

Amidst the journey, it’s important for teens to have several trusting and supportive relationships with adults to lend a listening and compassionate ear. Fostering relationships with other parents,

extended family members, mentors, teachers, counselors, and youth leaders within your religious or community organizations can all be foundational for providing both support and guidance.

Additionally, if your teenage son or daughter is in an intimate relationship and you would like to provide them with additional support, TeenLink (1-866-TeenLink) is a confidential hotline available each weeknight between 6-10 p.m.

Vet’s license suspended second time

By Carrie Rodriguez crodriguez@kirklandreporter.com

A

Kirkland veterinarian’s license was suspended on Oct. 14 for the second time in two years due to allegedly abusing drugs while performing surgeries on animals.

Cathy A. Johnson-Delaney’s Kirkland clinic, the Avian and Exotic Animal Medical Center, is now permanently closed due to “unforeseen circumstances,” according to her company’s website at www. eaeamc.com.

An employee witnessed Johnson-Delaney in the clinic’s operating room in June wearing a mask used to administer an inhaled anesthetic called sevoflurane, according to the Washing-

ton State Department of Health Veterinary Board of Governors statement of charges.

The employee said Johnson-Delaney admitted that she inhaled the drug and promised not to do it again, the documents continue.

Another employee heard the machine that administers an anesthetic being used during the early morning hours on at least a dozen occasions, between April and June.

Surgical staff also witnessed Johnson-Delaney inhaling and abusing an anesthetic while performing surgical procedures on animals, according to the charges.

The Veterinary Board of Governors on Oct. 11 found that Johnson-Delaney violated state law

by committing unprofessional conduct.

In response, a Veterinary Board of Governors judge suspended Johnson-Delaney’s veterinary license on Oct. 14.

Her license will remain suspended, pending a disciplinary hearing.

Johnson-Delaney’s license was also suspended in August 2011 for similar conduct.

She allegedly took isoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic, on five occasions in March and April of 2011, according to charging documents.

It allegedly made her intoxicated, agitated and unconscious while she was at her veterinary clinic.

The Veterinary Board agreed to allow her to practice again, pending a two-year probation with conditions.

She was ordered to un-

dergo an evaluation for substance abuse, dependence and mental health issues at the Talbot Clinic in Atlanta, Ga., according to Department of Health documents.

Also, between May and June of 2012, JohnsonDelaney was accused of professional misconduct after she boarded a pet turtle named Rocky, according to Department of Health documents.

The turtle’s owner expressed health concerns with the turtle and after two weeks under Johnson-Delaney’s care, Rocky’s condition deteriorated significantly, the documents continue.

The turtle’s owner took Rocky to another veterinarian, who was unable to assess the pet’s care at the Avian and Exotic Animal Medical Center because of a lack of records.

Take online parks survey by Nov. 3 How often did you visit a Kirkland park this past year?

What recreation programs are important to you and how satisfied are you with what Kirkland offers?

The city of Kirkland is asking residents about what makes Kirkland’s parks, trails, natural areas, and recreation facilities and programs great and what’s needed in the future to make them even better. Residents are encouraged to take a brief online survey at www. kirklandwa.gov/parkssurvey by Nov. 3 to share their experiences and opinions.

Information gathered from the survey will be used to help the city update Kirkland’s Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. The plan will guide the city’s planning efforts and establish a road map for providing parks, trails, natural areas and recreation services throughout Kirkland for the next six to ten years.

The veterinarian diagnosed Rocky with a life-threatening infection and the turtle died shortly after.

Johnson-Delaney admitted that she only completed boarding logs for one day during the two-week period that Rocky was in her care, according to the documents.

The Veterinary Board on Aug. 1 agreed to forego further disciplinary proceedings concerning the allegations; however, the board required Johnson-Delaney to complete six hours of continuing education and reimburse $1,000 in board costs.

Johnson-Delaney has practiced avian and exotic companion animal medicine in the greater Puget Sound area for more than 25 years, according to the clinic’s website.

(NAPSI)—What happens when you have communities with more dogs than homes and others with a need for adoptable pets? Call in the PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin’ vehicle! More than 60,000 dogs and puppies have taken the ride of their lives since the lifesaving transport program began in 2004.

With more than 11,000 pets euthanized each day in the United States, PetSmart Charities is addressing the problem at the community level. The Rescue Waggin’ program takes dogs and puppies from shelters in communities where their chance for adoption is low and transports them to shelters in areas of the country where they quickly find their lifelong, loving homes.

As Beth Maresh of the Wisconsin Humane Society puts it, “When the Rescue Waggin’ vehicle shows up at the shelter, it is so exciting!

Everyone—volunteers and staff—helps unload. I tell everyone that the Rescue Waggin’ program is the best part of the job.”

adoptable pets. The Rescue Waggin’ program works on a simple supply-and-demand principle.

• Adoptions happen fast.

When a rescued dog is settled into his new shelter, he’s usually adopted in three to seven days. Maresh says, “People often call to ask when the next Rescue Waggin’ transport will be arriving.”

• Both shelters benefit. The program works with shelters on both ends of the journey to find more homes for pets in their community. Local pets are never displaced and some shelters even “graduate” from the program and can manage their populations in a sustainable way.

an additional 10 employees. And the baristas from the original Urban Coffee Lounge will work at the new location as well.

“So all of the faces customers are used to seeing here, they will also see at the new store,” Wilson said. “We’re basically expanding the family and everyone will go back and forth between the locations.”

Jeff Miner said he and his wife eventually hope to open a third location nearby. But for now, they’re embracing the future of their second shop.

“We’re really confident,” he said. “We think it’s going to be really successful.”

Wilson agrees.

“It’s kind of cool to come into something that’s growing and developing and being on the front end of that,” she said.

“The store will be amazing, our best store yet,” said TD Curran owner Troy Curran of the 2,200-square-foot space.

“When you come into our stores, it’s a much more warm feeling. You get personalized attention.”

Curran said the store will have cast-concrete displays and a small fireplace at the learning center to make it a comfortable environment, as opposed to an Apple store, which can often feel too sterile, Curran said.

Curran was attracted to the Slater 116 space because he was promised six designated parking spaces for customers.

“If you have a service item, you don’t have to haul it through the mall, a million miles away,” he said.

The Kirkland location is the third TD Curran store, with other locations in Bellingham and Burlington. Curran said another store will soon open in Issaquah and he plans to further expand with a location in Ballard.

Curran founded the company in 1992, which has since recorded sales of $16 million last year and is on track to reaching $35 million this year.

Curran is looking to fill the new service and learning centers with Apple product professionals and Apple certified technicians.

“Our Kirkland location will have 15 employees and is well-equipped to serve our Apple customers in King and Snohomish counties,” Curran said in a news release.

TD Curran’s employees will be Apple certified and undergo continuous training to learn about new products, technical specifications, policies and procedures.

The new store, which will be managed by Mike Crawford, will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

new location at Slater 116 in the middle of this December.

“The experience with the first shop has been so nice,” said Jeff Miner, who designed the new space, which is under construction. “So great, that we wanted to get into it more and make this our future.”

Urban Coffee Lounge’s 1,650 square-foot space at Slater 116 will be at the corner of 124th Avenue Northeast and Slater Avenue Northeast.

Jeff Miner said the coffee shop will uphold the modern industrial, yet comfortable, environment the current Urban Coffee Lounge portrays.

“All of our space is very bright and open, a lot of natural light,” he said.

“There’s a nice patio area out there … this is more quiet, more beautiful.

There’s trees and stuff, so people can come here and be in a more natural setting and it’s not so loud.”

He said choosing the outdoor space was a big decision as they considered where they wanted to put their new store.

The mixed-use building also attracted the Miners because “there’s more of a community, versus just a storefront.”

Jeff Miner said they’re excited about expanding their reputation in the Kirkland community and look forward to providing the same quality experience for their new customers but in a more efficient manner, as they’ve made some changes to their system.

“We have kind of gotten almost to our max here where we’re just busy all the time,” said Kelsey Wilson, the manager at Urban Coffee Lounge.

“Our sinks are full all the time, we have a line all throughout the day. So to be able to continue to serve people in a growing way, we need more.”

Wilson said one of their goals, aside from providing speciality coffee, is to create and be a part of a tight-knit community.

“I think that’s why the main success of our location here is because of the great community we’re surrounded by,” she said.

“Honestly, our customers make coming to work every day a complete joy.”

Wilson likens their specialty coffee to the quality of craft beer, fine wine and dining.

Wilson and Alicia Miner will manage the Slater 116 Urban Coffee Lounge and hope to hire
