Kirklander’s Night Out for a Cure raises $185,000

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland native and Lake Washington High School graduate John Fiala has done a lot with his life.

After playing football at the University of Washington, he went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. But probably one of the most rewarding accomplishments is his contribution toward fighting cancer.

“When I was in college, my mom had ovarian cancer,” Fiala said, who currently works in Kirkland with Windemere Real Estate. “She’s doing well and hasn’t had any more problems there, but it’s a scary time especially for children having parents have cancer.”

Since then, Fiala’s dad has had a form of leukemia and his mother-in-law has passed away from the disease.

As a way to combat the illness that kills millions around the world, Fiala helped found a nonprofit deemed The Madhouse Project.

Once a year since 2005, Fiala and six college friends from the University of Washington put on an event called “Night Out for a Cure” under The Madhouse Project.

This year, held on May 3, the 10th annual Night Out for a Cure generated $185,000 through a live and [ more CANCER page 2 ]

The 2014 “Night out for a Cure” event raised $185,000 for cancer research. Contributed by Phototainment

silent auction. The project has raised more than $600,000 to support the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance through The Madhouse Project Critical Needs Fund since it’s inception.

Madhouse Project’s board members Fiala, Phil Friedman, Mitch Morando, Brad Newcomer and Kurt Shintaffer got the organization’s name from a house they had all lived in around 1996 after attending the University of Washington.

The house, an older fraternity, was “affectionately” nicknamed The Madhouse.

But the six slowly grew apart throughout the years as jobs and continued-education dispersed them throughout the country.

Finding themselves back in the Seattle area wanting to help out their community in some way, the six reunited.

“We realized we have a good source of people we know,” Fiala said. “We decided that cancer was something that had affected our families or someone we

had all known.”

In their first year, they raised about $16,000 and now they raise more than $170,000 annually.

“We’re beyond ourselves now,” he said, “in just how gracious society is.”

The funds go beyond the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance’s regular operating budget and are designated toward the smaller things, Fiala said.

“We’ve helped fund a theater for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance house,” he said. “We’ve bought a shuttle

that takes patients places.

Classes, retreats, we’ve helped build a children’s play room.”

The Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is a cancer treatment center that connects doctors from Seattle Children’s Hospital, UW Medicine and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

“What I’m truly honored about is the people I’m associated with on the board,” Fiala said. “We all come from different backgrounds and we’re all here for a common cause.”

We stand together.

Cancer doesn’t stand a chance.

EvergreenHealth and SCCA are united in the fight against cancer. If you have cancer, you deserve the best treatment possible. That’s why we’ve united the leading-edge research of Seattle Cancer Care Alliance with EvergreenHealth’s commitment to innovation and compassionate care. Together, we’re delivering national quality cancer care on the Eastside in one world-class location. For more information, visit HalvorsonCancerCenter.com or call 425-899-6000.

the school.”

Photos in the school’s yearbook and a terse final note in her academic records clip her North Central Bible Institute story: “Dropped Mar. 30 Japanese Evacuation,” according to school officials.

Cabanilla discovered that Ogata moved home to Helena. She left Montana on April 11 and school records show that she started school at North Central on April 13.

“The school gave her a transfer and a way out. Our university helped someone when other people would not,” Cabanilla said. “And since her father worked for the railroad, she found a way to get to Minnesota.”

The school’s strong ties allowed for Ogata to avoid internment.

“Our first president Henry Ness was also a founder of North Central

and likely arranged for her to be accepted as a student,” Castleberry said.

Cabanilla’s research of the 1930s and 1940s also uncovered the college’s diverse student body. Those students included Native Americans, several African Americans and many Filipinos. All the students lived together in nonsegregated housing despite racial codes, according to school officials.

Although Ogata died in 1966 at the age of 45, Cabanilla was able to contact surviving family members.

“When I contacted her family they indicated that she went to school in Minnesota,” said Cabanilla. “So they were confused by it and it seemed no one had the full story.”

Cabanilla asked Castleberry to petition the Northwest University Board of Directors to confer a posthumous four-year Bachelor

of Arts degree on Ogata and they unanimously agreed.

“We do not frame this honoring of Yeiko as an apology, but rather as a ‘fulfillment of all righteousness.’ This is a celebration and reclaiming of a long forgotten Northwest University heritage,” Castleberry said.

Cabanilla will accept the honor on behalf of Ogata and her family during the ceremony and the school will present more historical information.

“When I tell other people they are shocked and surprised,” Cabanilla said.

“It is nice to bring a positive story to light for such a dark time.”

Northwest University’s 2014 Commencement will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 10 at Overlake Christian Church Auditorium, located at 9900 Willows Road NE, in Redmond.

Yeiko Ogata is seen here in the lower left corner of the 1944 yearbook for the Northwest Bible Institute of Seattle.

Potala Village throws its garbage in the face of Kirkland citizens Citizens learned in October 2012 that the Potala Village apartment project lacked any garbage management system for dumpsters. Waste Management trucks would clearly not fit down the sloped driveway. No options were shown on the plans.

When citizens asked the Planning Department about this, they were told “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Well, we’ve reached that bridge, near the very end of the permitting process. And guess what Joe Zlab, VP of Path America, has asked the city to approve at the eleventh hour: To move multiple dumpsters onto Lake Street/Lake Washington Boulevard and park them there several times a week so Waste Management can empty them. As many know, Path America is a company created by Lobsang and Tamara Agassi Dargey with the dual purpose of soliciting what appears to be their sole funding source from wealthy Chinese seeking to fast-track obtaining Visas for themselves and their families; and their construction firm of record.

On April 24, the day after submitting plans, Zlab sent Tom Radford, Kirkland Planning Department, an email in which he says: “Our schedule is extremely tight on all these matters… we have complied with all the city comments/requirements… regarding the trash pickup and we believe we have this one solved as well in the most recent drawings submitted yesterday. Hopefully this last review should just be checking the boxes that we have complied with all the requirements. We would like to be notified when the review is complete so that we can pay the permit fees and get the project bid...”

Where do you get off trying to steamroll the city of Kirkland, Joe Zlab? Again! Just check the boxes, indeed. You wish. Didn’t think people would catch wind of your arrogant maneuvering of the Dargeys’ ridiculous garbage disposal plan, did you?

The developers have this problem because they are trying to cram 88 apartments onto a parcel envisioned for only 14 to 15 in the Comprehensive Plan. To achieve this density and stay within the height restriction for this zone, the ground floor will be sunk five feet below street level. With minimum setbacks and a driveway that thus slopes downward into the parking garage, there is no way for Waste Management trucks to access the Potala garbage dumpsters that meets the requirements of the Zoning Code.

So the questions are: Why should our public streets be a parking lot for dumpsters?

Why should the city allow Waste Management to block vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic on Lake Washington Boulevard while dumpsters are emptied?

Why should Potala Village be exempt from the requirement that service vehicles must be able to access trash containers onsite?

For obvious reasons, Kirkland does not and should not allow such an exemption anywhere in our city, especially on our signature lakefront pedestrian boulevard. Can you imagine how many garbage dumpsters and recycling bins will be required to haul trash from 88 households, plus the commercial businesses planned for the site all lined up on Lake Washington Boulevard several times a week? This ludicrous last minute proposal to permanently commandeer a vital stretch of the boulevard as their private dumping ground is more evidence that the Dargeys have marched into Kirkland as rank amateur “developers” with an ill-conceived project. Time and again, they have demanded preferential treatment. The city has to stop this now!

Kirkland, King County officials to celebrate opening of pump station The public is invited to join city leaders and elected officials to celebrate the completion of King County’s pump station in downtown Kirkland.

A ribbon cutting ceremony followed by guided tours will take place from 2-4 p.m. on May 13 at King County’s Kirkland Pump Station, corner of Third Street and Park Lane in Kirkland.

King County began construction on the $20 million pump station upgrade project in 2011 to ensure safe, reliable wastewater operations for the city of Kirkland’s growing population.

The new, larger capacity pump station will meet current seismic codes, operate more quietly and efficiently, and employ state-of-the-art odor control. The project was completed several months ahead of schedule in spring 2014.

In addition to the pump station upgrades, King County’s project entails

sexually explicit photos of themselves, according to court documents.

He was living in an apartment complex in the 10000 block of NE 17th Court in the Juanita neighborhood before his arrest on April 18 by Kirkland police detectives.

He is charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of communications with a minor for

immoral purposes and one count of possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct in the second degree.

Kirkland detectives believe Hartung communicated with a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy, both in Colorado, for nearly two years. He is accused of trading gifts for nude photos with one of the boys. Hartung also discussed visiting

the boys in Colorado this month before being arrested, the documents continued.

He used the alias “Andrew Jarratt” through texts, Skype and during online gaming sessions with the children. When the 13-year-old’s father questioned him about disturbing texts he found that Jarratt had sent, the boy stated that Jarratt was a 34-year-old gay man from Washington

state. The father immediately called the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

Hartung had a previous conviction 12 years ago in Pullman, Wash. for possessing child porn and never registered as a sex offender. If he had registered he would not have been allowed to live in the Juanita apartment complex, which detectives described as “brimming with children.”

“Since that time, the

defendant has groomed children across state lines via the Internet, enticing them with expensive gifts, electronics, money and cigarettes in exchange for photographs [of their privates],” prosecutors state in court documents.

Court documents also allude to the possibility of more victims across the country.

Hartung will be back in court on May 15 for a case setting hearing.

Instead of becoming a “heat-seeking” investor, focus your efforts on building a diversified array of quality investments appropriate for your needs.

If you only own one type of financial asset, and a downturn hits that asset class, your portfolio could take a big hit. But by diversifying your holdings, you can help reduce the effects of volatility. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss.

As we’ve seen, some of the same principles that apply to creating a vacation may also be applicable to your investing habits. So, put these principles to work to enjoy a pleasant vacation — and a potentially rewarding investment experience.

What can vacations teach you about investing?

you will also want to chart your course — by creating an investment strategy that is designed to help you work towards those goals based on your specific risk tolerance, investment preferences and time horizon.

Keep enough gas in the tank. As you set out on a road trip, you need a full tank of gas in your car, and you’ll have to keep refueling along the way. And to “go the distance” in pursuing your financial goals, you will need to have sufficient “fuel” in the form of investments with reasonable growth potential. Without a reasonable amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your portfolio, you could lose ground to inflation and potentially fall short of your objectives — so, over time, you may need to “refuel” by reviewing your portfolio and rebalancing if necessary.

Protect yourself from getting burned. If your vacation plans include a stay at the beach, you’ll need to protect yourself and your family from the hot sun — so make sure you’re all using sunscreen. When you invest, you can also get “burned” if you are not

To make our home energy efficient, we added solar panels on our roof that heat water and produce electricity.

We moved to the Eastside about eight years ago when we purchased a cute “not so big house.”

It was built in 1950 and we bought it with the goal of remodeling it into the cozy home. Our goal was to create a place that honored its original roots and would also include many “green” features.

Throughout the remodeling process, we frequented The ReStore in Ballard to find reclaimed building materials to use in our home including doors, window trim, tile,

Renaise’s doodle was selected from the thousands of entries received this year. Students’ amazing ideas ranged from water purification to advanced robotics and nutrition solutions.

To help their favorites succeed, everyone across the USA can vote for their favorite doodle from the 50 state winners. Voting is open through today at www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html. The public vote will determine the five national finalists (one in each grade group).

Google will announce these five national finalists and one of them as the national winner on May 21 at an awards ceremony at its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., which all 50 state winners will be invited to attend.

expect a nearly 6 percent reduction in their monthly bills for one year, from June 2014 through May 2015. That’s a drop of $5.89, which would take the average monthly statement from about $99 down to roughly $93.

The increased credit -made under an agreement between the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and PSE -- passes through a nearly $63 million payment for PSE customers from the federal Columbia River benefits supplied by BPA. The payment trues up the full amount owed to PSE customers of the residential and farm exchange benefits established under the 2008 Residential Exchange Interim Relief and Standstill Agreements.

BPA has provided the residential exchange credit since 1981 to customers of investor-owned utilities under the Northwest Power Act of 1980, which requires the sharing of federal power benefits with all residential and small farm customers in the region.

www.kirklandreporter.com [ LOTTERY from page 1] must not be within 1,000 feet of a school, park or other area where children congregate, per Initiative 502.

The 1,000-foot buffer disqualifies the Higher Vibrations, according to a city of Kirkland zoning map.

And because the city imposed a moratorium banning marijuana stores in two Market Street zones and along Kirkland School Walk Routes, The Novel Tree and Retail Marijuana are also disqualified if they do not find other viable addresses.

Officials with the Liquor Control Board have stated in the past that applicants can update their business address in their application before a license is issued.

None of the potential addresses fell within the three industrial zones city officials added for marijuana retail as they made the interim zoning regulations back in March.

With three locations already knocked out, three remain at this time.

Four businesses Twisted Green Corps., 420 PM, Twisted Sacks Corp. and Stoner Haze - will compete for the address near Kirkland’s Costco.

It’s a multi-story single-

family home with several landscaping trucks for Niendaber Landscaping LLC parked out front.

The Reporter tried to contact Paul Nienaber, owner of the landscaping business, but received no response.

Eric Shields, the city of Kirkland planning director, said this location is a “challenged site” because there are some wetland regulations in which potential business owners would need to comply with. But that’s not to say it “won’t work out,” he said, adding that he and other city officials recently checked out the site after the information was released.

Another potential spot is a where a RadioShack in the Totem Lake area is currently located. Sam, a RadioShack manager, directed the Reporter to call RadioShack’s corporate office, to which we received no reply, but not before stating he hadn’t been told about the marijuana businesses and that the electronic store has been at that location for seven years. Before that, it was at the mall.

Dan’s Herbs and Cema Investments will compete for that location.

In the same building as RadioShack, Kush and Buddy’s Bud have used the address of Vortex

This house at 8734 120th Ave. NE by the Kirkland Costco is just one of the locations used on applications to start a marijuana retail businesses. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter Music and Movies in their license application.

Vortex owner Daren Compton said right now there’s a lot of “maybes.”

“I can tell you there’s been a lot of people poking around and asking me questions regarding who’s the landlords, what’s my lease, what would it cost for me to move away or go away,” Compton said, adding that his landlords were at first against the idea of leasing to a marijuana retail business but have since become more open.

Compton said because his lease is still active, his landlords have told him to expect the phone to be ringing. He said people have been very antsy.

“If one moves next door to me, that’s good

for business,” he said.

“We’d probably share some of the same demographics.”

But as far as taking his business location?

“I don’t want to close my business, I don’t like the idea of relocating,” he said. “Now, I’m just saying whatever comes up I’m willing to consider it.”

Vortex Music and Movies has been at the Totem Lake location for about two years. Compton wouldn’t disclose how many years were left on his lease.

The Liquor Control Board contracted with the Social and Economic Research Center, Washington State University, the accounting firm for Washington’s Lottery, and

Kraght-Snell of Seattle to “independently produce” the rank-ordered list for each Washington jurisdiction that qualified.

“Being identified as the apparent successful applicant is not a guarantee that the selected applicant will receive a license,” according to a Liquor Control Board’s news release.

Shields said city officials have only been notified about one potential marijuana license application, which was announced last week as the “Producer Tier 3 and Processor” applicant using 13513 NE 126th Place as his or her potential address.

When the city is notified by the Liquor

Control Board for any of the above mentioned marijuana applications, each application will be reviewed by the Planning and Community Development department, Fire, Building, Public Works and the Police Departments. City officials will have 20 days to respond with approval, objection or no response.

Each approved applicant will also be required to go through the city’s business license application process before a business is certified within Kirkland.

The board expects to begin issuing retail licenses no later than the first week of July, according the board’s most recent news release.

For more information on this process, visit www.kirklandwa.gov/ marijuanakirkland.

For more information about the lottery, email licensingretail@liq. wa.gov or send letters to Washington State Liquor Control Board, Licensing and Regulation, P.O. Box 43098, Olympia, WA 98504-3098. The Liquor Control Board also offers an email notification subscription at www.liq.wa.gov/ marijuana/email-notifications.

Kirkland city officials receive first marijuana processing license application months, but may be effective for up to one year if a work plan is developed for additional study and a public hearing is held by the City Council.

Future application notifications will be posted to the city’s webpage and citizens encouraged to check it regularly.

The city of Kirkland does not approve the marijuana license application; that authority is with Washington State Liquor Control Board.

The city’s website has an informational webpage about marijuana licensing which contains background

information on the interim regulations, links to the Liquor Control Board, and a zoning map showing the locations in Kirkland where marijuana retailing, production, and/ or processing could be located, if licensed by the board.

A new feature to the webpage will include information about pending marijuana applications received by the board for locations within Kirkland city limits.

Once notified by the board, the city will have 20 days to provide any written objections to the application. The notice from the board will be reviewed by the Kirkland Police Department and the Planning and Community Development Department for zoning compliance.

The city will then respond with any concerns it has with respect to a particular application. All

called for in these actions. A total of $40 million in unallocated funds is available from bonds sold from the 2006 measure as well as unspent state construction funding assistance. Using funds from either source would require that the board hold a public hearing and vote to repurpose the use of the funds.

The board had previously indicated that unspent funds from the 2006 bond measure could be used to support pool and athletic field partnerships, if a bond measure passed. Board members at the work session noted that this interest was contingent on passing a bond, which did not happen.

• Send Sammamish area students entering middle school Quest in 2014-15 to Evergreen Middle School instead of Redmond Middle School • Limit variance approvals at all levels • Modify facilities at Redmond and Evergreen Middle Schools to increase capacity The district-wide process to adjust attendance boundaries is expected to rebalance enrollment.

The Lake Washington School District outlined the specific actions it will take over the next year and beyond to accommodate its rapidly growing enrollment on May 6. The total number of students served by the district grew by more than 1,600 in the last two years, more than any other King County school district. An increase of approximately 4,000 students is expected over eight years.

The district proposed two bond measures this year, in February and April, to provide funding to build new schools. Neither measure gained the supermajority or 60 percent needed to pass although both received a majority of votes.

The boundary process may leave in place the current temporary boundary changes or could further modify those school boundaries.

Other actions that may be needed between 2015 and 2017 include limits to all day kindergarten, continued limits to variance approvals, moving district programs to other schools, adding portables and modifying the facilities at Juanita High School to increase capacity.

At its work session on May 5, the district’s board of directors discussed potential funding for some of the items

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Join QFC at Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure®

T

here are personal reasons why each of us Race for the Cure®. At QFC, we know that so many of our 5,000 employees and thousands more of our customers have been touched by breast cancer in some way. So lace up your pink shoelaces and join QFC for a fun-filled event on Sunday, June 1, 2014 at Seattle Center packed with walking, giveaways and live entertainment, oh my!

This year’s event marks the 21st anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®and QFC’s eighth year as local presenting sponsor.

We’ve also proudly claimed the title for largest corporate team sponsor for four years running. The more the merrier, we say! Join our QFC corporate team or create your own at komenpugetsound. org. This great event brings together thousands of

runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-filled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help. Don’t forget to stop by our booth and QFC’s friendly employees will be handing out thousands of free product samples as we groove to terrific live music from local bands and cheer on the runners and walkers of the race. Survivors are invited to join QFC at the Survivor Tent where we’ll be toasting your bravery with sparkling apple cider, chocolatedipped strawberries and other decedent goodies.

Another way you can support the Puget Sound chapter of Susan G. Komen is to drop your change

in the coin boxes located at the checkstands of any of our QFC stores from now until May 31st. We also have donation scan cards in $1, $5, and $10 amounts available at checkout – just hand the card to the cashier and he or she will add that amount to your order. Last year, your generous donations raised more than $15,000! That change really does add up!

We are grateful for the generosity and compassion of our customers and amazing team of employees.

Whether you are racing at Seattle Center, sleeping in for a cure, or dropping change in our coin boxes, you are making strides towards a world without breast cancer!
