Kirkland Summerfest struggling to raise enough money Classic Car Show, Uncorked project good events this month
BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
A
s several major summer events approach, the Kirkland Summerfest is suffering from large drop in donations and sponsorships. According to Sum-
merfest organizer Scott Becker, this year’s budget was originally set for $125,000, but so far they have only received $75-80,000 in donations and sponsorships. The minimum amount to run the event is around $108,000. Becker said that because donations tend to
come in early, organizers are anticipating the total amount raised to be below that necessary to run Summerfest as planned. As a result, cuts will need to be made, including the stage for live band performances, as well as food vendors and the kids’ area.
Becker said the discrepancy is the result of last year’s sponsors, including those from outside the area, who have chosen not to take part this year. In total, $25,000 worth of sponsorship was counted on but has yet to come forward. “We’re assuming that we’re not going to have enough money to do it
and we have to cut back,” he said. Kirkland Summerfest is scheduled for Aug. 8-10. The festival involves performances, activities, exhibitions, dancing, comedy, circus and street arts, and family entertainment. Established in partnership with the Kirkland Downtown Association, Kirkland Summerfest was
first held in 2011. It is expected to draw roughly 50,000 people. To sponsor Summerfest, visit www.kirklandsummerfest.com/ sponsors-funders. The 12th Annual Kirkland Classic Car Show, set for 8 a.m. on July 27, is at the other end of the spectrum and has received the [ more EVENTS page 11 ]

A dream come true Cosgrove commits to play at the University of Washington BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
Juanita High School graduate Andy Cosgrove has signed on to catch for the University of Washington baseball team after helping the Rebels to one of their best seasons in recent memory. Like a lot of kids, Cosgrove started out playing catch with his dad in the yard and later played
T-ball. Like many kids growing up in the greater Seattle area his baseball hero was Ken Griffey, Jr. “He played the game the way I think it should be played,” he said. When he was 14, Cosgrove focused on catching and playing shortstop. In high school, Cosgrove ultimately settled on playing catcher, which he enjoys for the ability to see the overall
layout of the game. “It’s really about vocal leadership and the ability to control people,” he said. “You’re paying attention to everyone on the field. You have to figure out the pitchers and the team and the other team and what they’re focusing on. It’s about talking to people and getting them going on everything.” Although he played basketball and football in high school, he started concentrating on baseball exclusively. “I don’t really know what it is, but I love baseball,” he said. “I look forward to it. I enjoy practicing.” [ more UW page 5 ]

A 23-year-old Kirkland resident is missing after rafting on the Klickitat River. Christopher Dube went missing just before 8 p.m. on Saturday night after he went under water near Lyle Falls, according to the Klickitat County Sheriff ’s Office. He was rafting with a group of friends when his individual raft was overturned in rapids. Dube’s friends searched for him but called for help when they couldn’t find him. A member of Dube’s fam-
ily declined to comment and was overcome with emotions during a phone conversation with the Reporter. The sheriff ’s office stated that section of the river is particularly treacherous. Deputies and SAR volunteers searched for Dube into Monday morning and were unable to locate him. The search effort has been suspended indefinitely, according to the press release. Dube is a North Juanita neighborhood resident, member of the St. John Vianney Church in Kirkland and is a photographer.

Endless Summer Days When we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to do to hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring. Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax. Now I’m her caregiver with life responsibilities and kids of my own. And I know what she knew back then – summers fly by in an instant.
If you are caring for a parent, full or part time, you deserve a break. Go ahead and plan that summer get-away, it’s important to reconnect with your spouse and kids – slow down, breathe.

GUEST EDITORIAL
State Superintendent focuses on improvement
S
Jerry Cornfield
tate Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn doesn’t want to use the word “failing” when talking about Washington’s public schools. So he’s figured out how school district leaders in Washington can exclude it from letters they must send parents at schools deemed as failing to make the grade on a federal curve known as adequate yearly progress. At the same time, Dorn is trying to convince the U.S. Department of Education to drop its demand that such letters be sent as required under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). That’s because the rules are such that letters will wind up going to parents of children at pretty much every school in Washington. Avoiding an “F” requires students to perform at grade level in math and reading. So when standardized test time rolls around, if a student doesn’t pass in grades 3-8 and 10, their school likely won’t show enough progress to quash the need to notify parents. It’s a dilemma faced in just about every state. But Washington is the only state facing the letter requirement because the others snagged waivers from the U.S. Department of Education. This state had such a waiver, but lost it this year following a legislative deadlock on including student test scores in the evaluation of teacher performance. Dorn last month asked federal education officials to again waive the requirement to send letters. He also pledged to make sure parents are well aware of their school’s progress, and their options, which include transferring their child to

another campus or receive tutoring. His chances of succeeding are far south of slim. It relies on the feds giving up what is arguably their most punitive tool against states which fall off the NCLB waiver wagon, as Washington did. The letters publicly shame individual schools and entire districts. Many parents will be quick studies on what’s really going on behind the scenes. Dorn is worried about consequences in the community if these bureaucratic badges of dishonor are sent out. “The letters’ misrepresentation that our schools are failing will erode public support for local funding — and, we think, will needlessly and dangerously distract Washington’s voters and lawmakers at a time when transparent, truthful information about our schools is most critical,” Dorn wrote to Assistant Secretary of
Education Deborah Delisle. In the meantime, Dorn drafted a model letter for districts that doesn’t specifically say schools are failing. Rather, it explains in some detail the process of how the school did not meet one or more measurements for progress and are considered to be in “Step 1 of Improvement” — a term ripped from the federal law itself. And it closes by pointing out the fault is not with the school, but with the federal law. “Please keep in mind the only reason you are receiving this letter this year is because Washington state lost its waiver from NCLB requirements,” he wrote.

Join us for Steptember My name is Kelly and I am a mother of a son with Cerebral Palsy and one of the founders of The Determined Parents Foundation. We are asking our community to help us support kids and adults living with disabilities by joining the charity event Steptember (www.steptembernw.org). For the month of September we are challenging teams of four to walk, run or roll 10,000 “steps” a day while raising funds and awareness for people living with disabilities. All proceeds go to Provail (www.provail.org) and The Determined Parents Foundation (www.thedeterminedparentsfoundation.org) to help people with special needs receive the therapies that they desperately need. Our hope is to engage our community to come together and get active while supporting those who can’t. We are ending Steptember with an “awareness climb” to the summit of Mt.

the agency past a tipping point. “But those federal reductions account for about half of the current deficit,” Seinfeld said. Reductions would impact a range of core public services – such as reducing the capacity for disease investigations, and curtailing Public Health work on tobacco and obesity prevention. “This is painful and, like you, I’m concerned about our clients,” wrote Fleming in a message to staff. “We’ll work with our communities to try to find ways to mitigate some of these cuts, but at the end of the day, this is likely to result in a loss of services for some of our clients.” Altogether, the proposed reductions could potentially lead to more than 200 layoffs. EMS and restaurant inspections will not be impacted. Seinfeld said the department’s top priority is preserving the core, irreplaceable functions that only Public Health is able to provide. Most Public Health funds come from grants, levies or fees that are dedicated for specific purposes, and cannot be shifted to other services. For example, emergency medical services (EMS) are funded by levy dollars that can only be used for EMS. Restaurant inspections are paid for by fees. The proposed cuts would not impact all areas of Public Health. Most will occur in three areas that rely on more

The Bothell clinic offers family planning services and reproductive health care that includes HIV and STD screening and pregnancy tests; maternity support services and maternity screening; and a teen clinic that provides education and services for pregnancy prevention and for pregnant, parenting and at-risk teens. Seinfeld noted maternity support services account for most of the visits at the Bothell clinic, as well as other Public Health clinics. “The good news for Bothell area clients is that we already have created a partnership in that location,” Seinfeld said. “We have worked with HealthPoint at their new Bothell facility and currently offer both MSS and WIC at that location.” Public Health is looking into the idea of creating a Satellite Team based out of Eastgate Public Health Center. It would provide rotating staff at Northshore’s current satellite clinics at HealthPoint Bothell and in Carnation, and potentially add other satellite clinics through additional partnerships. This would result in an elimination of services for roughly 40 percent of the WIC/MSS clients served by Northshore PHC, according to Seinfeld. For more information, visit www.kingcounty. gov/healthservices/ health/budget.aspx. lege at Boston University has their own criterion for the dean’s list, but students generally must attain a 3.5 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale), or be in the top 30 percent of their class, as well as a full course load as a full time student.

t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.
That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle.

This is my chance to do what I’ve always wanted to do.” Cosgrove plans to study business management and organization at the UW, though he said he still dreams of playing professionally in the major leagues. “Baseball is always the dream, I couldn’t imagine calling it quits,” he said. “If I have the power to play I’m going to play.”

With the Eastside slated for significant growth in the near future, preparations are being made to accommodate the influx of people to the area. Part of these preparations is Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Energize Eastside project. According to its website, the project will bring new, higher-capacity electric transmission lines to the Eastside, which will “provide more dependable power for all Eastside communities for many years to come.” Energize Eastside is still in the planning stages and PSE is seeking public input on the project. One group with some things to say about the project is the Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy (CENSE). The organization was formed a few months ago and is made up of residents from various Eastside neighborhoods throughout Redmond, Newcastle, Bellevue, Kirkland and Renton. Co-founder Don Marsh said the idea for CENSE came when he and some of his neighbors began learning about Energize Eastside and thought the project would degrade their neighborhood with proposed power-line poles that would be about three times taller than the existing poles. “It gives a different feeling to a neighborhood to have giant utility poles and trees cleared out,” he said. Marsh soon discovered that residents from other neighborhoods had similar

concerns about the project and he thought they would be more successful in voicing their concerns if they all came together. In addition to neighborhood character, other concerns about the project include the fact that the transmission lines could potentially share the right of way with the Olympic Pipeline. Marsh said the idea of having high-voltage electricity lines in close proximity of oil has raised some safety concerns. Others are concerned about electromagnetic field radiation from being close to the transmission lines, he added. The proposed 18-mile transmission-line route will run from Redmond to Renton with about nine miles running through Bellevue. Because such a large portion of the lines will run through Bellevue, Marsh — a Bellevue resident himself — said CENSE has a strong Bellevue contingent compared to other cities, though there is participation from all cities. Marsh said CENSE works to educate the public about the Energize Eastside project as there is a lot of information out there and not everyone may be getting it all. In addition, he said there may be alternatives to what PSE has proposed. CENSE is also working to convince the five Eastside cities affected by the project to hire an independent expert to study the situation and determine the size of the need. Currently, one of the ways PSE is receiving input from the public is through
a Community Advisory Group (CAG) — which is made up of 28 individuals representing the communities affected by the project. Redmond resident David Chicks is a member of the CAG and said, there has not been too much discussion yet as they are still gathering information about the project. The transmission line route is broken into various segments and Chicks said there are 18 different combinations of routes. The route will begin in Redmond at the PSE Sammamish Substation at 9221 Willows Rd. N.E. and depending on the routes selected, quickly hits either the Kirkland or Bellevue city boundary. “Redmond is not nearly as affected as Bellevue,” Chicks said. He said he has spoken with some members of CENSE and said, “it’s always good to have a robust conversation. “It’s always good when people get active in the community and active in the process.” According to the CENSE website, this is why the coalition was formed: To “fill an obvious void that existed for public feedback.” For more information about CENSE, visit www. cense.org. PSE will hold an Energize Eastside question-andanswer session from 6-9 p.m. on Monday at the Redmond Marriott Town Center at 7401 164th Ave. N.E. For more information about the project, visit energizeeastside.com.

The cost for the course is $18 per person. Madison House is located at 12215 NE 128th St. in Kirkland. Pre-registration is required. For enrollment information, call 206-2433564.

Nick Merriam, who worked at a Friends of Youth housing program early in his career, is currently the director of operations of Vittana – a Seattle-based organization that specializes in international microfinance loans for students. Rick Antezana is the vice president of the Dynamic Language Center. “The commitment demonstrated by Rick, Jeff, and Nick over the six years of their board service is inspiring,” said Friends of Youth President and CEO Terry Pottmeyer. “We are so grateful for their leadership, service, and heart for children.” Theft: 7:19 p.m., 8000 block of NE 128th St. A 38-year-old man was arrested after he stole his 71-yearold father’s debit card and made purchases without his permission.

To do so, you will need to consider at least three key factors: Age — You can start taking retirement benefits as early as 62, but your benefits may be reduced by up to 30 percent unless you wait until your “full retirement age,” which is likely 66 or 67. If you delay taking benefits until 70, your monthly benefits may be up to a third larger than if you started collecting Social Security at your full retirement age.

ments based on your own earnings record or collect a spousal benefit of up to 50 percent of your husband’s Social Security benefit. The benefit will be reduced if you start taking it before your full retirement age. To start collecting Social Security spousal benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and your husband must also have filed for his own benefits. If you’re divorced, and you’re not currently married, you can generally receive benefits on your ex-husband’s Social Security record, as long as you meet certain conditions. (For example, you had to have been married to your ex-husband for at least 10 years.) No matter how much Social Security you ultimately receive, it’s almost certainly not going to be enough to provide all the income you’ll need. So during your working years, try to contribute as much as you can, for as long as you can, to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. At the same time, look for other investment opportunities. And when you reach retirement,

Kirkland hospital reports historically low induced labor rates EvergreenHealth officials announced that the medical center has had zero elective inductions for early term pregnan-
borns and moms is always our top priority, and part of that means we wait for birth to occur naturally when it is safe to do so,” EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte said. “Our goal is for spontaneous labor at or after 39 weeks whenever medically possible, and we are very proud of our providers and staff for coming together and taking great strides to exceed national averages.” According to the CDC’s report, the rate of induced labor for single births
nationwide is declining for the first time in two decades. Across the U.S., rates decreased from 23.7 percent in 2011 to 23.3 percent in 2012 for both medically necessary and elective inductions, a trend encouraging to the CDC. Risks of induced labor can include mandatory Caesarian section and, in some cases, increased risk for neonatal infection and respiratory complications. The CDC advises against induced labor for babies before 39 weeks gestation unless medically necessary. While some medical indicators mandate induced labor, particularly in high risk pregnancy, EvergreenHealth providers evaluate each opportunity for the safety and optimal health of the baby and mother, said Trish Anderson, RN, director of women and children’s programs at EvergreenHealth. Low early-term induction rates are just one of the ways EvergreenHealth Maternity Care provides high quality care for mothers and babies. The center has been recognized with a five-star rating for nine consecutive years from HealthGrades, the nation’s leading

Local business sponsors classic car show

necessary funding to go forward. Although only a little more than 150 cars have registered so far, Legends Car Club Director Dave Dunn said that is normal, as anyone is free to register on the day of the show. Overall, he anticipates around 450 cars to participate, which is up from previous years when construction was going on in the area. In fact, Dunn said they get such so many diverse cars they have changed their 21 awards to reflect it. While other car shows have the contestants judge, Dunn said he and other show officials decide
who gets the 64 trophies they offer. “None of us are professional but we’ve been around cars our whole lives, so we can judge them pretty well,” he said. “We love doing it. We’d have to be really sick people to be showing up at 5 a.m. and staying until 5 p.m. if we didn’t enjoy doing it.” The only concern Dunn has is the weather, which he said can turn away drivers who don’t want to get their vehicle drenched. “It’s the state of Washington,” he said. “You never know when it’s going to rain. A nonprofit event, the car show helps support
various charities including the Forgotten Children’s Fund and the Royal Family Kids Camp. For more information about the show, visit www. legendscarclub.net. Meanwhile, Kirkland Uncorked, scheduled for July 18-20 at Marina Park, is seeking to add culinary to the wine tasting. John Thorburn said last year they added a food truck feast to the event and this year chefs from Von Trapps and Radiator Whiskey, along with other restaurants, plan on being there as well. During the three-day festival they have a Friday Burger Brawl that features 750 sliders from several
restaurants. “The event has kind of grown into a Washington summer food and wine festival” he said. “It’s celebrating the great food options on the Eastside and the city. I think we’re excited about continuing to grow the event and finding new ways to celebrate the flavor of Washington — and that’s what the event has become.” The festival is split into two sections, a tasting garden and an all ages street fair. The tasting garden will include wine tasting, grilling demonstrations and live music. For more information go to www.kirklanduncorked.com.
Emerald State Roofing announced that it is sponsoring the Legends Pacific Northwest Car Club’s Kirkland Classic Car Show. A company spokesman said that Emerald State is proud to support local community events such as
the car show and is always looking for ways to give back. “We are especially proud to support an organization like the Car Club that both brings the neighborhood together and raises money for worthy causes,” said Todd Sinicrope, owner of Emerald State. Emerald State will also be hosting a booth at the Kirkland Classic Car Show.

Legendary Juanita High School football coach dies at 77 BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
F
ormer Juanita High School football coach Chuck Tarbox died July 3 in Surprise, Ariz. at the age of 77. He finished his career with 207 victories and is a member of the Washington State Coaches Association Hall of Fame. His biggest victory during his decade at Juanita High School may have been his first, as he helped break a 47-game losing streak for the Rebels. But Tarbox’s impact was felt in his player’s lives, as well as on the scoreboard. “Coach was one of the people in life whose affect is etched into your being and his lessons you carry with you forever,” wrote Erv Kuebler on a Facebook memorial page for Tarbox. The Rebels won backto-back league titles in 1984 and 1985 under Tarbox. The Mercer Island High School football team became a rival of Juanita

BRIEFS Northwest University signs nine for men’s soccer Northwest University head men’s soccer coach Gary McIntosh has announced the addition of nine student-athletes as part of the Eagles’ 2014 recruiting class. The signees include: Chris Iacolucci of Shoreline, Wash.; Benjamin Nordlie of Auburn, Wash.; Aaron Becerril of Woodinville,
under Tarbox, as both schools battled it out during the 1980s. “We had some good bouts with them,” former Mercer Island High School football coach Dick Nicholl said. “I remember playing them and they weren’t very good. Then he arrived and their uniforms looked sharp and he had them doing calisthenics. He really turned that program around. “It was a combination of talent and his coaching. I really respected what he did in such a short period of time.” Tony Uskurs tried to articulate the impact that Tarbox had on the Juanita football program: “The Don James of Rebel football. It was a privilege to attend Juanita from 1982-1985 and be part of the historic run.” But Tarbox had an impact anywhere he went, especially in the classroom as a physical education and math teacher. “I was in the class of
Wash.; Josimar Evangelista of Luanda, Angola; Will Bishop of Port Au Prince, Haiti; Dominick Downer of St. Catherine, Jamaica; Tyler Ptacek of Everett, Wash.; and Harry Hanson III of Bremerton, Wash. “I think the class is pretty well-rounded as far as positions,” McIntosh said. There are three keepers, two defenders, three midfielders, and one forward in this group. “These players certainly fit the needs we have moving forward here at Northwest. I think we’ve always tried to recruit highly talented players who are high character individuals. Certainly,
1980 from Nathan Hale,” wrote Judy Goodheart Perry on the memorial page. “He wasn’t my coach, he was my math teacher for a very short while. I got sick and missed a lot of school. Once recovered, Mr. Tarbox and Mr. Lundberg tried to talk sense into me as I used my being sick as an excuse to play around. I did take their words to heart and did graduate with my class. I respected your dad and how much he did care for each of us. I wish I would have shown it more at the time. I have you and your family in my prayers.” During his four-decade career Tarbox also coached at Cleveland High School in Seattle (196667), Nathan Hale (196879) and Eastside Catholic (1992-99). “You have to have a certain amount of success and coach for the right reasons,” said Nicholl about Tarbox’s membership in the coaches asso-

Shaun Tarantola arrived at Juanita High School. “I have never actually met coach Tarbox but can tell you he is still highly respected in the Juanita community,” Tarantola said. “I hear many stories about how he built the program here in the 1980s and about the impact he made on the community.” It is Tarbox’s players, students and coaches who remember him best. “Every time I stood by him on the field he just gave me the confidence that we would win no matter the situation,” former player Bob Waskom wrote on the memorial page. His family set up the memorial page for those in Washington state to remember the coach. His daughter Mona wrote: “From my earliest memory, Dad would stay up all night with his assistant coaches poring over films, 8-mm in the early days, picking plays apart ... ‘here’s what we did wrong, here’s what we’ll do next
time.’ Winning was both an art and a science to him and he put all of his energy into it. He always felt he owed it to his players first and foremost, to lead them to win.” Mona states that her father loved to win. He was gracious when he and his team lost and always congratulatory and respectful to the winning team and coach. “As his daughter, I have to tell you, he cut no slack. Like many of you, he coached me to expect nothing less than excellence in my performance, my life and my expectations of myself. “It’s very painful now, trying to wrap my head around losing that 6-foot3 pillar of motivation and charisma. Thank you for sharing your stories and helping my family and me through this very sad time.” There will be a memorial in the Seattle area but details have not been announced.

Dominick Downer is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound freshman goalkeeper is from the island of Jamaica and attended Jamaica College. Tyler Ptacek will be a freshman and play the defender position. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Ptacek played his prep soccer at Archbishop Murphy
High School in Everett, Wash. Harry Hanson III, 6-foot-1, 218-pound freshman hails from Bremerton, Wash., and played goalkeeper at Olympic High School. “I think when you consider all aspects, not just soccer talents, but the character of the players and the quality of the individual in the classroom, we’re really excited about this group as a whole and we’re excited to make them a part of the Northwest University family,” McIntosh said.

Highlights of the additions include staffing to provide quality training and professional learning for employees. That area was heavily cut in 2009 when the state significantly reduced funding for schools. The additions include 10 professional learning coaches who will work with teachers at all grade levels across the district. In addition, four literacy coaches will work specifically with elementary schools. These additions are aimed at the district’s goal to recruit, hire and retain highly effective personnel. Other additions that focus on the goal area of safe and innovative learning environments include funding for five additional school nurses, two mental health/social workers, plus additional grounds and custodial staff and equipment.

representative leadership team reviewed all budget requests. That group reviewed such considerations as whether the request could be funded from other resources and whether the request addressed a need that is impeding the organization’s ability to function well or if it added resources needed to accomplish a specific strategic initiative. “It is critically important that we make budget addition decisions that align to our strategic goals, objectives, and priority work, so we can continue to strive to achieve our mission and vision for students,” LWSD Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce said. “The budget reflects that we are being very intentional about linking our strategic work with our resource needs to ensure that we are appropriately aligning resources to accomplish our strategic work.”

enue comes to $17.1 million, including $5.3 million due to enrollment increases, $2.5 million in increased levy receipts, and $7.8 million in new state revenue. However, expenditures also increased by about 5.1 percent. A significant rise came in staffing to support increased enrollment. That need will require an expenditure of $3.8 million. Other costs are increases in staff compensation, health care and pension costs, another $3.8 million and $2 million for specific programs from grants and self-supporting programs. The district plans about $8.5 million in new expenditures. It went through a multi-phase process this spring to collect potential budget additions and review them. Surveys of staff and parents gathered feedback about specific district programs, both current and proposed. A

These budget additions are possible primarily because of an increase in revenues from the state. During the past two years, the state legislature has begun to take steps to fully fund basic education as a result of the McCleary state Supreme Court decision.

HealthSource Chiropractic Progressive Rehab and Wellness will host a special “Christmas in July” canned-food drive throughout the month of July to help replenish Hopelink’s local food bank. HealthSource doctors are offering a complimentary community service health screenings, a $210 value, in exchange for canned food/nonperishable donations. The 19-point screenings can help track down even the smallest amounts of pain, including those suffering from a wide range of problems such as low back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, bulging or herniated discs, leg pain, numbness and more. Even x-rays will be included if necessary. “Many people don’t realize that this can be one of the toughest times of the year for the local food banks, shelters and Salvation Army. We tend to forget about those in need outside of the holiday season. Even though we’re still half-a-year away from the holidays, we thought an early celebration could help jump-start the collections for local donations,” HealthSource CEO Dr. Chris Tomshack said. “Together, we can all help build a stronger, healthier community.”

LWIT graduates more than 400 students
at 14340 124th Ave. NE. “It’s still kind of surreal,” she told Lottery officials when she claimed her prize at the Everett Regional Office on June 9. The winner explained she has a friend who always checks her tickets for her. “I came back from lunch and he said, ‘you just won $310,000!’ I did not believe a word.” The woman did not want her identity released. The woman is a weekly Lottery player who has won small amounts in the past, making this her first big win. She plans to invest part of the money, and buy herself a new TV. This isn’t the first big prize sold in Kirkland. Just last month, Bargain Beverages at 12110 NE 85th Street sold a $75,000 winning Buried Treasure Scratch ticket. As for this particular 7-Eleven location, it has previously sold winning tickets of $70,000 and $100,000 on two different Scratch games. Proceeds from Washington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, providing scholarships to college students statewide.

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.
