Former Kirkland nurse charged with drug tampering A
nurse who worked at a Kirkland plastic surgery clinic was recently charged for tampering with painkillers and
stimulants — an alleged act that caused a patient to seizure on the operating table in a “possessed” state. Angela Ann Huffman of Seattle was charged with one count of tampering with consumer products
on Nov. 8 in an ongoing investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration that also claims she stole several drugs. A special agent with the DEA alleges Huffman, a registered nurse since July
2012 in her mid-30s, tampered with a drug vial that was supposed to contain fentanyl, a narcotic painkiller and anesthetic. On May 16, a 20-yearold woman was to undergo plastic surgery when anoth-

The nurse told the DEA agent the patient was “writhing in an extremely unexpected and unnatural fashion, and appeared ‘possessed.’” Ten days prior, charging documents state the nurse who administered the drugs was on vacation and Huffman was responsible for keeping inventory of the controlled substances, which are kept in a lockbox. But as soon as the other nurse returned, she noticed a bottle of fentanyl and two vials of hydromorphone - commonly known as Dilaudid, a painkiller - were missing. When asked where they were, Huffman allegedly suggested the items had been wasted during a surgical procedure, “a statement inconsistent with the recollections of medical staff present during the surgery,” charging documents state. Blood analysis on the 20-year-old patient revealed that the bottle labeled “fentanyl” contained a different substance. And according to the doctor at the plastic surgery clinic, the patient’s reaction was consistent with symptoms of taking a dose of epinephrine, a cardiac stimulant. Charging documents state the drug could have caused a heart attack if the woman had been older or had a heart condition.

Probable cause documents state Huffman is currently employed at a medical office in Tukwila that does not administer controlled substances and it is unknown whether her employer knows of her work history. At this time, Huffman’s Registered Nurse license is still active, according to the Washington State Department of Health. However, according to a Department of Health spokeswoman, the Nursing Commission has opened her case for investigation.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with a twist I
n the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m inspired to celebrate “outside the box” this year. Care to join me? I’ve decided to be grateful for things often not considered. While heartfelt and purposeful to turn toward the goodness in our life as we give thanks, it’s also easy. Giving thanks out of places of pain and imperfection - now, that is challenging. It’s also exquisitely beautiful. And, it’s certainly outside the box. As you practice gratitude this season, I invite you to offer Thanksgiving “with a twist” in these powerful places: 1. You. That’s right. Give thanks for you. You are wonderful and messy and in progress — just like everyone else. Give thanks for all of you. Be thankful for the parts of your life you love and the parts you wish were different. Give thanks for the work behind you because it deserves to be honored. Give thanks for the place you find yourself now because you are learning, growing and becoming a better version of you. Give thanks for the road ahead, for it holds the goodness that’s coming. Give thanks for the journey. You’re not done yet, and neither is your story. 2. Regret. I know that sounds strange, but finding gratitude in regret has the power to set us free. Everyone has regret. Some regrets are big, others are small. All regrets are great teachers. Be thankful for your teachers. Shannon West

OPINION
[4] November 22, 2013
What’s the first regret that comes to mind? Gloss over the sting. Go straight to the learning. What did that specific regret teach you about life, about yourself, about others? Simmer in those thoughts and swarm around with a grateful heart for the wisdom you have moving forward. While you’re there, forgive yourself and let it go. 3. Public Enemy No. 1. OK, maybe that’s a little harsh, but you get the idea. Who’s brought pain to your life? I’m certainly not suggesting we become thankful for those who have committed acts of harm and hurt. I am suggesting we find gratitude in surviving hardships and trials. Who’s brought you to places of pain that allowed you to experience your own strength, or whatever inner quality you felt rise up in you to endure? What’s the legacy they leave in your life? Conjure the good, acknowledge the bad. Sit in
the awareness of how their place in your life changed you. Take it all in and give thanks. Give thanks for the attributes that rose up in you through the fire. Give thanks for how hearts heal across time. When we are grateful, it’s nearly impossible for the bitterness of pain to infect our lives. Let gratitude begin to heal injury. How’s that for “Thanksgiving with a twist?” When we find ourselves living in gratitude for the good, the bad, and everything in between, we’re one step closer to a life lived well and with great peace — a gracious gift we all deserve this holiday season.

The Juanita Drive Corridor study that the city of Kirkland is conducting is a welcome step in improving that roadway. Safety is and should be a prime consideration. However, there are many other issues that should be studied with a view towards making Juanita Drive not only safer, but also a more enjoyable driving experience. The lower section of Juanita Drive where commuter congestion is the worst is an ugly mishmash of power poles and power lines, with jersey barriers, driveways, and garbage cans lining both sides of the road. I have never seen so many overhead electric, telephone, cable and other utility lines in one place. That section of the road looks out to the south at Lake Washington and could be a beautiful and scenic drive. It is not. Two of the study’s “guiding principles” are to: “Maintain the corridor’s unique identity and natural landscape” and “protect the extraordinary natural environment.” These principles should be an integral part of the study to ensure that recommendations related to improving the overall aesthetics of the roadway, including the removal or mitigation of utility poles, power lines, and jersey barriers, remain a significant priority. Unfortunately, it appears that very little attention has been given to these “guiding principles.”
A four-lane highway with jersey barriers on both sides of the road would likely serve the purpose of moving more traffic more safely through the Juanita corridor, but I doubt many Kirkland residents, especially those most closely affected who live in the Finn Hill and Juanita Bay areas, want a super highway in their backyards. I encourage local residents to provide input to the study so it becomes a worthwhile project with recommendations that make sense for our area and that improve the overall driving experience and beauty of Juanita Drive.

Big Finn Hill Park process mis-characterized I served as a volunteer on the Big Finn Hill Trails Committee set up to work with King County Parks on a trail plan for Big Finn Hill Park. The committee consists of residents of Finn Hill, Bothell, Kenmore and Kirkland, as well as hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers. Two committee members are on the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance board. Ms. Yori’s and Mr. Cash’s recent letters completely mis-characterize the process that unfolded during 2012-2013. There was nothing “closed-circuit” about this, from start to finish. Finn Hill neighbors and parks staff posted notices all over the park announcing the very first meeting in June, 2012, as well as
the last public meeting held June 20, 2013. In between times, the trail committee meetings were open to the public, and the committee and parks staff made progress reports to well-attended general meetings of the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance. A board member also posted a progress report on their website while the committee was meeting. The final version of the trails plan adopted by King County Parks in August reflects extensive input from the community at large as well as the work of the committee. The plan calls for the park’s existing character to be maintained, for repair/restoration of areas where illegal trail-building activity has occurred in the past (a major reason for doing the plan in the first place), and clear designation of trails where bike-related features will and will not occur (all trails remain open to everyone). Projects done so far include one trail improvement on a walker-oriented trail, one on a bike-oriented trail, and two work parties restoring and enhancing walker-oriented trails. All of the work done has been approved by King County Parks after detailed on-site review, as called for by the trail plan. I understand King County Parks has responded to Ms. Yori’s past emails. I asked them to forward her my contact information so that if she wishes, we can meet on-site to discuss her concerns.

The Washington State Library can add online technology training to its list of free services thanks to a partnership with Microsoft, which has expanded its IT Academy from classrooms to anyone looking to advance their tech skills and gain a competitive edge in the global job market. “In many ways, it’s a dream come true,” said Bill Ptacek, director for the King County Library System. “The library has always been, if you will, the people’s university.” Washington residents will be able to go to more than 385 libraries across the state, including public, technical colleges and tribal, to set up an account to choose from up to 250 online information technology courses at no cost. The King County Library System is already up and running. Microsoft is footing 90 percent of the bill after the state Legislature back in June approved financial support
for the academy in the state library’s 2013-15 operating budget at $1.5 million. Secretary of State Kim Wyman pushed for the funding. “This is a 90 percent discount that Microsoft is providing,” said Wyman inside the Bellevue Library during the Nov. 12 launch for the academy. “What a wonderful bargain for Washington and its libraries.” Washington will be the first state to offer the IT Academy with its training and certification programs to both its public schools and public libraries, the former launching in late 2011. More than 50 percent of jobs in the United States require some form of technology training, said Margo Day, vice president of U.S. Education, Microsoft. That number is expected to increase to 77 percent in the near future. She added Microsoft Office is a critical requirement for most jobs requiring technology training based on data research. “IT Academy is the best thing to happen to my
Meetings ahead for Metro bus cuts Due to inaction to date on stable funding for public transit, Metro must begin three months of meetings across King County to inform riders of proposed bus cuts due to the absence of funding. A meeting in Kirkland will be held from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Peter Kirk Community Center, 12421 103rd Ave. NE. Facing the proposed cancellation of 74 bus routes and revisions to 107 other routes, Metro is working hard to help riders understand the details and consequences of cutting up to 17 percent of the transit agency’s service. Thousands of riders have visited Metro’s website to see how the cuts affect them. The question of whether these cuts can be averted is in the hands of the state Legislature, which has not yet approved stable funding authority sought by King County. Metro must take steps to reduce
school since peanut butter and jelly in our lunchroom,” said Kathy Schmit, business and technology instructor at Kalama High School in southwest Washington. “It is a phenomenal resource, and now I have parents saying, ‘How do I get into that,’ and I can now say, ‘Go down to the library.’ “ Student Brady Harmon said his IT Academy training, which took him and two other students to the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championship in Washington, D.C. earlier this year, even led to a job offer from a private contractor with the city of Kalama composing Excel spreadsheets. But, sports got in the way. That, and being a sophomore in high school. “After getting the certification stuff, you just become a lot more comfortable performing the programs,” Harmon said. “And if your teacher says, ‘Hey, I need you to make a PowerPoint by tomorrow about this broad range of subjects,’ you can just, ‘OK, I got it,’ and you’re
costs in 2014 and in 2015 as temporary funding expires and reserves are exhausted. The proposed cuts could mean a loss of an unprecedented 14 million rides annually, and would revert Metro’s service to levels not seen since 1997 – even as ridership nears all-time highs. Metro provides about 400,000 rides each day and is nearing the annual record of 119 million riders reached in 2008. Also, Metro staff will be out at certain transit and community centers to share information and answer questions, shown in an online schedule. Metro faces an annual funding shortfall of $75 million needed for 600,000 hours of service and bus purchases. Another 150 daily bus trips between West Seattle and downtown Seattle – buses that ease construction congestion during the Alaskan Way Viaduct project – also are at risk of being canceled in June when state funding ends. The King County Council is

Kirkland seeks 600 PSE sign-ups One challenge down; one to go. Thanks to 732 Puget Sound Energy customers in Kirkland, the city was awarded $20,000 from PSE as part of its Green Power Challenge. The second challenge is for Kirkland to beat out the cities of Snoqualmie, Anacortes, Tumwater and Bainbridge Island as the city having the highest percentage rate of new enrollments by Dec. 31 to receive an additional $20,000. Currently, Kirkland is in fourth place; Snoqualmie is in the lead. Kirkland would need an additional 600 new participants to pass Snoqualmie at its current standing. The money awarded from both challenges will be put toward installing solar panels on the city’s Public Safety Building, which is currently under construction. By

Kirkland is getting a boost from community groups Kirkland Kiwanis Club, Kirkland Rotary Club and Sustainable Kirkland, which will be conducting outreach. PSE will provide $10 for every new enrollment and the group that brings in the highest number of enrollments will get an additional $5 per enrollment. Local Girl Scout troops are also on the horizon for utilizing this as a fundraising opportunity. As of the end of October, Kirkland’s Green Power enrollment number stood at 2,301; 301 participants more than the original goal set by PSE. The current

artist and dyed environmentally-friendly fabrics to use in her work. She still continues that line; however, it’s clear she’s fully immersed herself into working with upcycled materials. A typical work day could include making eight dog collars in eight hours or spending half a day working on a new design for a business or custom order. In the last year, she’s sold more than 350 dog collars and confidently states they are her most popular product, which can run between $14 to $25. “I cannot believe how many customers name their dogs off of beer,” she laughs, adding that soda brand names are popular too. On Borders’s blog, tracyborders.blogspot.com, she recalls how she made 11 Twisted Tea dog collars for her first customer who had 11 dogs. The customer loved Twisted Tea so much she entered herself with her dogs into a contest that would put the winner’s photo on a carton of Twisted Tea. Many of the Squigglechick Designs customers are regulars and Borders often creates custom products with up to half of her orders individualized. Her second bestseller, luggage tags, and third bestseller, wallets, sell best around Christmas time and range between $8 to $30, depending on the product. But getting enough material to make her products can sometimes be a challenge. Although she gets the material for her art through friends and her husband’s coworkers and her own stash, she will often find it on the street. “It sounds awful but you find stuff picking it off the street,” she said. “I don’t see it as trash, I automatically pick it up and think it’s a product I can use.” Borders found the most milk labels, pop cans, beer bottles and cardboard packaging when she took the bus to and from work, adding that she also feels it does some good for the environment. Beer companies will also send her labels to make custom products. Her work is sold in many brick and mortar businesses throughout the country, including Marshall Brewing Company, Reconstructed Clothing Co., Dog Dish, High Gravity Homebrewing & Wine Making, to

The scouts talked to friends and family and brought canned goods, rice, pasta, soups, applesauce and much more. Kirkland Nourishing Network member Lynette Apley is coordinating the food drive day on Nov. 25. She and other volunteers will accept the boxes from the Cub Scout pack in the morning and then hand the boxes out to the deserving families in the afternoon. “This is a fantastic and generous donation from Scout Pack No. 550. Every box counts and we’re very grateful for their support,” Apley said. “We are helping more than 51 adults and 99 kids - some families with eight and 10 children - so these food boxes truly make the difference for them, especially at a holiday time. One family said it will be the first time they can host a family Thanksgiving because they have enough food to feed everyone.” Anyone interested in helping the Kirkland Nourishing Network food drive can get instructions and sign up to bring a box at mysignup.com/thanksgivingfood.

Lake Washington Schools Foundation welcomes new executive director Lake Washington Schools Foundation received an infusion of energy and talent this fall with the addition of a new executive director and five new board trustees. As Lake Washington Schools Foundation’s new executive director, Kristina Williams will oversee all foundation activities and work with the board, staff and community to further the foundation’s mission of “raising funds to support academic excellence and success
for all students in the Lake Washington School District.” Williams is a successful leader with more than 22 years of experience in nonprofit, educational and community leadership roles. Prior to joining the foundation, she served as the executive director of the SAMMI Awards Foundation and has held key management roles in a number of non-profit organizations, including the Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center, Colorado I Have a Dream Foundation, Blind Childrens Center of Los Angeles and Glendale Family Service Association. Her experience teaching in the Burbank and Castro Valley Unified school districts in California, and the Evergreen School District in Washington gives Williams insight into the needs of students and teachers.

Eight-year residents of Sammamish, Williams and her husband Larry share a love of outdoor activities such as biking and hiking.

Minnie Sternoff
www.northlakeuu.org
Minnie Sternoff left memorable impressions throughout her life. She was socially conscious, charitable, ethical, generous, fair, reasonable, insightful, fiscally wise, a close follower of politics, gave sound business advice, and was inspiring to her three children, two grandchildren and friends. She was kind, caring, educated and fearless. She was direct, didn’t suffer fools and told them. Long before women’s lib, Minnie was liberated. She never forgot the depression, clipped coupons, observed how fate or foolishness can cause you to lose everything and that nothing good comes from greed. She read thousands of books and for years, subscribed to 5 papers. Born Minnie Rosenkrantz October 24, 1920 in Aberdeen, WA, middle child to immigrant Russian Jewish parents, William and Mary, Minnie and brothers Oscar and Alex were raised to know how fortunate they were to be born here. Ahead of her time in many ways, Minnie swam, played victorious tennis over her gentlemen friends, and earned a business degree at the UW. In her early 20s, when her father had died and her brothers were in the military, she put her education and capability to work. She took over Western Machinery, the Aberdeen family business, selling equipment to logging mills run by men who, years later, remembered Minnie as formidable. Renamed Western Steel, she was on the board into her 70’s, and the company today is run by her brother Oscar and her niece Jill Rosenkrantz. Minnie met Irving Sternoff from Seattle on a blind date. They married in ’49 and moved into a small house in Magnolia. In’57, they bought in Bellevue, and eventually, Kirkland. Minnie encouraged her children to read, travel, and expand their world. Bill became a network news correspondent; Bob, a developer; and Sandy, a CPA. Irv and his brothers owned Sternoff Metals, and when her signature was needed on business documents, Minnie didn’t cosign blindly. She asked questions and insisted on changes that impacted the business and investments. Minnie and Irv dined at Canlis and Trader Vic’s, took the family to the Hong Kong Restaurant every Sunday night, supported the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, and numerous charities. They traveled to operas in the USSR, went to Israel, Egypt, Australia, drove through Europe, took cruises, and made friends everywhere. Never shy, if Minnie wanted to be seated at the captain’s table on cruises or wanted fresh fruit in Moscow where it was scarce, she got it! She loved her parents, her family, the sun, ocean beaches, deep tans, Palm Springs, cruising the Gulf Islands, oysters, Dungeness crab, razor clams, throwing parties, gardening, playing the horses, shooting craps in Vegas, and dressed with style, bought on sale or lay-away. She taught herself to cook, and her soufflés, blintzes, latkes, matzo balls, gefilte fish and corned beef were legend. Minnie adored and carried Charlie, her miniature Pekinese, everywhere. When retailer I. Magnin banned dogs, she never shopped there again. Minnie had character, common sense, was a person of integrity, honor, dignity, fortitude and purpose. In Yiddish, Minnie was a mensch. Bill, Bob, Sandy (J., John and Jennifer), grandchildren Sarah and Andrew, brother Oscar and his wife, Jackie, nieces Jill, Jody, Julie and nephew Bill survive her and will miss her deeply. Minnie turned 93 a few weeks ago, her life enhanced by her doctors and exceptional care and companionship provided by Patsie DeYoung and Ursula Schanne, to whom the family is very grateful. And true to form, Minnie was sharp, engaged, looking ahead, and laughing to the end. Minnie, and Irv who died in 2006, took nothing and no one for granted, valued their friends, were loved, and will forever be remembered as good people. Minnie requested no funeral, but in her honor, please consider contributions to the Jewish Family Service, Providence Hospice of Seattle or any charity that helps people in need. 926855

Celebrate the Christmas season as the Kirkland Choral Society rings in its silver anniversary with “Welcome All Wonders,” an evening of glorious traditional carols and beautiful new holiday works by prominent contemporary composers. Hand bells, oboe, harp, strings, and piano will complement the 90 voice choir under the direction of Dr. Glenn Gregg in evening performances Friday, Dec. 6, at Bastyr University Chapel in Kenmore and Saturday, Dec. 7, at First United Methodist Church in Seattle. Selections include “Seven Joys of Christmas” by Kirke Mechem and “Hymn to the Eternal Flame” by Stephen Paulus, a tender memorial to holocaust victims, “every memory woven into fire.” “Hark, The Herald Angels Sing” by Carol Barnett and “Il Est Ne, le Divin Enfant” by Donna Schultz are delightful contemporary settings of these favorite carols. John Gardner’s lively “Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day,” sets an early medieval text in which Christ himself tells the story of his arrival. His birth is “my dancing day.” The hauntingly beautiful “Dark Night of the Soul” by Ola Gjeilo has an entirely different tone. It is set to a late medieval text by St. John of the Cross, Spanish poet and Catholic mystic. Bastyr University Chapel is located at 14500 Juanita Drive NN in the heart of St. Edward State Park.
