Kirkland hydroplane Miss DiJulio to race in Seafair Cup
Cousins’ love of boat races drives them to give back to community BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
E
ach year Kirkland residents hear the thunder of the Blue Angels flight team during Seafair and know a big party is going on at the other end of Lake Washington. Many take their own boats across the lake to join the party and watch the
Albert Lee H1 Seafair Cup unlimited hydroplane races. But many don’t have a civic or emotional interest in the races themselves. Two Kirkland cousins are trying to change that by also taking their own boat to the south end of the lake - to compete for the cup. “We all grew up in the Seward Park area,” Brian
DiJulio said. “We love it. It is what the Northwest is all about.” Cousins Brian and Chris DiJulio co-own the hull of the old 48 Snoqualmie Casino boat and rechristened it the Miss DiJulio. The two cousins live 13 houses apart in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland.
“We used to go the races and tie up to the boom together,” Brian said. “It is more than a boat to us. It brings tears to our eyes when we see it out there.” This is not the first year the cousins have sponsored a boat but it is the first time they have co-owned one. “We got the opportunity three years ago [to sponsor a boat] and jumped at it,” [ more DIJULIO page 6 ]
Healthcare workers picket hospital over staffing, wages and CEO’s raise BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
Healthcare workers from EvergreenHealth Medical Center are protesting a pay raise for their hospital’s CEO, claiming more workers are needed. A picket and rally was held July 17 outside of the center in Kirkland led by SEIU Healthcare 1199NW, hoping to raise support and gain attention from the hospital. EvergreenHealth is part of King County Public Hospital District No. 2, which covers Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, Kenmore and Sammamish. According to the hospital’s website, the facility receives about $14.9 million from taxpayers each year. SEIU Healthcare 1199NW represents nursing assistants and lab techs, among other support staff at the medical facility. The workers main source of contention is that the CEO, Rob Malte, was given an 18 percent EvergreenHealth worker James Victorian pickets the hospital with co-workers on July 17 in Kirkland to pay raise, bringing his protest staffing, wages and CEO pay.

City considering boardwalk along Lake Washington Blvd Council concerned about parking issues BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The city of Kirkland has proposed the idea of a boardwalk for downtown. The proposed boardwalk, known as the “Lake Washington Promenade,” is intended to help improve the waterfront experience and accessibility for vendors and other activities, according to the July 3 City Council packet. The boardwalk as conceived would go from downtown to Carillon Point, though it is possible it could be extended further both ways. City Manager Kurt Triplett said there are a variety of ways the boardwalk could be designed. It would be 15-20 feet wide and could be tiled or bricked. The idea is to create a clear pathway that would provide opportunities for tourists to travel downtown, as well as have street musicians and community presentations. As part of the project, parking along the west side of Lake Washington Boulevard would be removed to create a wider walkway, and it is this
that the council is most concerned about. Although city staff has come up with several solutions, they are also recommending further study. The Transportation Commission has recommended an urban design study that would allow for public comment and examine potential alternatives. The issue was first discussed at the City Council’s April 15 meeting, when the council expressed concerns about its impact on traffic and asked for more information. At their July 15 meeting, the council decided to have the boardwalk in the Transportation Masterplan, and in several years the idea can be explored further when the Masterplan is adopted. Doing so, Triplett said, will allow the city to apply for grants and funding for the project when it is examined in three to five years. But even then, he said that the work would involve preliminary plans assessing the practicality of the boardwalk and developing solutions for the likely impact on parking and traffic.

Our patients deserve better and Evergreen does not have its priorities in the right place,” said Kim Steinbaugh, a cook at EvergreenHealth, in a release to the media. Kay Taylor, vice president of communications for EvergreenHealth, replied in an email that the hospital has been attempting to find common ground with the union and declined to comment further, as she said they are still trying to come to an agreement. In response to complaints about the CEO’s pay raise, she stated that Malte’s compensation is comparative to other similar healthcare organizations.

Summer Grilling with QFC
S
ummer is finally here in the Pacific Northwest and that means it is time to dust off that patio furniture and fire up the grill! We interviewed QFC’s Meat Merchandiser, Jason Taylor, for some tips on grilling, picking the perfect cut of meat for your summer BBQ, and how to keep your food safe with the warm summer weather. Q: There are so many great options when you walk up to the meat counter. How do you pick out a good steak?
Jason Taylor
Jason: There are many steaks perfect for a summer BBQ! Ask the associates behind the counter for suggestions, or choose your favorites. Here are my top picks:
A bone-in Certified Angus Beef ® brand N.Y. strip steak is delectable option for summer grill gatherings. Strip steaks are one of the lean cuts, yet they also have abundant marbling for tender, juicy flavor. My personal favorite is the Certified Angus Beef ® brand boneless ribeye. It’s priced at $10.99/lb. all summer at QFC. This cut has a rich, beefy flavor that’s hard to beat. And because of the brand’s significant marbling, it will always be tender and juicy. It’s a great option for a summer dinner party. Finally, Certified Angus Beef ® brand boneless tenderloin steaks are amazingly tender. The tenderloin is also flavorful and juicy. This is an ideal steak for a special occasion.
Q: You mentioned the Certified Angus Beef ® brand in your steak options. What is it?
Q: What other food safety tips do you have for cooking outdoors this summer?
J: To put it simply, the Certified Angus Beef ® brand is the best Angus beef available. It is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy thanks to superior marbling. Other labels may say Angus, but that’s where the similarities end. To earn the Certified Angus Beef ® Small Modest Moderate brand label, beef must grade upper Choice and Prime, passing the brand’s 10 quality standards to ensure great-tasting beef. It’s truly the best of the best — and you can USDA Choice find it at QFC here in the Pacific Northwest.
J: Food safety is our top priority at QFC. There are easy steps you can take to make sure that the products you purchase are always safe and of the highest quality.
Q: What are some tips you have for an amateur griller? J: Our highly skilled meat associates are a great resource! If you’re not sure how to pick out a good steak, how to cook it, or what sides would best complement a particular cut, just ask our folks behind the counter. They are always eager to help make you the hero of the kitchen or grill! There is a balance between cooking meat to a safe temperature, while also ensuring optimal flavoring. You should use a instant-read meat thermometer to be sure beef has reached a safe internal temperature. Ground beef should be cooked to 160 degrees. Steaks should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees for medium-rare. And don’t forget to allow meat to rest for several minutes before slicing, so those tasty juices can be reabsorbed.
•
When you are shopping, buy cold food right before checkout. Separate raw meat and seafood from other food in your shopping cart to help guard against cross-contamination.
•
Refrigerate all meat and seafood immediately once you arrive home from your trip to the store. Keep meat and poultry in a cooler when you transfer the meat for grilling. A good practice is to always pack beverages in one cooler and perishable meat and seafood in a separate cooler.
•
Don’t use the same platter and utensils for raw and cooked meat or poultry.
•
Always cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature. To ensure optimal accuracy, use an instant-read meat thermometer. Again, steaks, pork, lamb, and veal steaks must reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground beef 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and poultry to a minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q: What if someone is looking for something quick and easy to grill? J: QFC has a variety of high-quality, ready-to-cook meat items at all of our stores. Two of my favorites include our popular Kalbi Marinated Flank Steak as well as our Beef & Vegetable Kabobs. Our ready-to-cook products take most of the prep work time out for you so that you spend less time in the kitchen and more time with friends and family! Paid Adver tisement

GUEST COLUMN
New generation of technology connects Kirkland to the past
I
n 2001, Jack Kellett from England wrote a note on an internet message board asking for information about his Kellett ancestors who came to America in 1888. Jack’s grandfather, Peter Kellett had returned to England, leaving a mother and four sisters behind. On another forum, I too had left messages asking for history of the Kelletts, who had slipped through our historic fingers after Arline Ely wrote “Our Foundering Fathers: The Story of Kirkland.” Because we used different message boards, our messages did not cross. In 2011, I found Jack’s message and wrote a reply. It then took another year before Jack’s youngest daughter, Lulu, said he should check his 2001 post. When Jack found my post, he searched the internet and found the Kirkland Heritage Society website. He learned that on that very evening Marin Harris was presenting her program on the Kellett home, which is owned by her grandmother, Joann Harris. That evening Harris was awarded the Christine Neir Scholarship for her research and program. Former Kirkland mayor Bob Neir and his son Jim Neir presented the scholarship to Harris, who gave a wonderful program. She was not expecting the scholarship. It was an amazing evening. And the evening got better when I returned home to find an email from Jack Kellett, who was named for his great grandfather, John Kellett but he is called Jack. From that time on, the Kirkland Heritage Society and the Kelletts have been exchanging information and photos. Jack did not know that John Kellett was one of Kirkland’s founders and is responsible for naming Kirkland after his employer Peter Kirk, that two of his grandfather’s sisters were born in the family home in Kirkland, or that he had cousins in California. In turn, we did not know when and why Peter Kirk returned to
England. We now know that Kirk had loyalty to his mother country and returned to serve England during World War I. He had wanted to serve during the Boer War but his father was dying and begged him to remain in America, serving as the head of the household until his sisters were older. Jack has the original 1900 letter, which he scanned and shared with the Kirkland Heritage Society. It is heartbreaking. John Kellett feared he had as little as five years to live. In reality, he only had two years, dying at age 48 and leaving his wife Martha with five children, the youngest not yet one year old. When Kirk could, he did return to England only to learn he could not serve because he had lost an eye in America, possibly while working at a shipyard. There is still much to learn. But we do know that Kirk married and had children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren. Jack remembers his “grandpa Kirk” very well because he saw him every few weeks. As always, he wishes he had asked some questions.
But what we must learn from this saga is that the internet is a wonderful tool. We should check any postings from time to time, kind of like when we change our smoke detector batteries. We need to thank this younger generation for keeping history alive. The Kelletts have now visited Kirkland. Jack and his daughters Issy and Lulu stayed at the historic Loomis Bed and Breakfast for two nights. The Kellett ancestors would have been well acquainted with Kirkland’s only historic Victorian home. The Harris family hosted a dinner where the Kelletts got acquainted with the latest generation to live in their ancestral home. And of course, they toured the historic Kellett/Harris home so they could listen to the bricks talk. If only they could talk. The more we learn, the more we want to know.
Loita Hawkinson is the president of the Kirkland Heritage Society.

Bring a fresh face into the 45th District We have a great opportunity this year to bring a fresh change to the 45th District. Joel Hussey has a proven track record of accomplishments in solving difficult challenges on a local level and can meet the challenges in Olympia. The Washington State House of Representatives seems to be stuck in a rut when it comes several issues, especially education. This is simply not acceptable to voters in the 45th District or our Washington Supreme Court, we can do better. As the former president of Bellevue Christian Schools, Joel understands how to increase student performance without over burdening tax payers. He also helped reorganize our Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association, which benefits more than 6,000 local youth. Who is Joel? Joel is local who grew up in Everett, attended SPU and UW, and has resided in our District for 19 years. He owns and operates Tailwind Capital, an aircraft leasing business in Redmond. Joel is committed to solving gridlock in the House and is passionate about education;
“It is both our moral and legal obligation to ensure that our children have the education, skills and resources necessary to meet the challenges of today’s rapidly changing world...” Stand for Children endorsed Joel because of his, “commitment to helping all children attend excellent public schools and incredible leadership experience.” Joel is clearly doing his part in solving our problems, now we 45th District voters need to do our part and send Joel to Olympia to get to work.

Political ad goes too far Anyone who has ever been involved in a divorce action understands how emotions run high, accusations run fast and loose, and truth often gets trampled under anger and the desire for revenge. Toss in kids and the animosity and rage become even more wild and vicious. A recent TV ad, produced by a radical national PAC whose objective is to turn the Washington State Legislature red, is a derogatory rant about incumbent 45th Legislative District State Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirk-
land), based on claims made by his estranged wife during their divorce proceedings. His then wife stated that Roger, under the influence of marijuana, often drove with their two children in the car. The ad also states that Goodman has been delinquent in payment of both child support and income taxes. The forms they make public are not public record and contain private information. I have known Roger for several years, working on his campaigns in the past and this year. We have talked about how the media makes a circus of his divorce and the pain it is causing him, as well as his ex-wife and their two children. Roger loves his children, would never put them in danger, and has never been in trouble with the law. Does he smoke marijuana? The TV ad described it as “illegal drugs.” Perhaps, although I have never noticed any sign of it. Has Roger fallen behind in his tax and child support payments? Not that I know of, nor is he a ‘deadbeat dad.’ Roger is one of the most effective, hardworking legislators in our state, recognized on a national level for the DUI laws he has sponsored and gotten passed, as well as his work to keep [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

minors in our state away from the lure of drugs. In 2011 and 2013, Roger was recognized and awarded by MADD for “commitment to advancing MADD’s mission in Washington by promoting effective DUI countermeasures.” The TV ad currently being aired is one of the nastiest works ever seen in Washington state politics. Even Roger’s opponent has backed away, claiming no part in it. His ex-wife has requested the information posted by the PAC on Facebook, and this disgusting ad, be removed. What this PAC is doing is appalling and underhanded. Common decency and fair play demand its immediately removal. We cannot allow politics here in Washington to become mired in the sludge of gutter politics.
Barbara Manley, Redmond
What McBride would bring to the 48th district
a piece about it on the evening news last night. It featured an interview with the “friend” of his opponent who is spearheading and funding this smear ad. The ad is about as ugly as it gets, dredging up two-year-old divorce papers and dragging Roger’s family through the mud. Really folks, is dirty politics the best his opponent can do to get into the news? Joel Hussey must not have much to recommend him for this office if he has to stoop to such tactics or allow someone to act on his behalf. This effort should violate anyone’s standard of common decency. I know Roger to be a responsible parent and a dedicated legislator who has the support of many local groups and large numbers of citizens. He’s earned my support by his accomplishments in office and his responsiveness to the needs of his constituents.

City lets contractors walk all over homeowners
Jeanette Merki, Kirkland
She denied Kirkland citizens their right to vote on annexation. She politically acted on her own making promises to outside agencies without Kirkland City Council approval. There has not been a time when she has not tried to circumvent the public process to fund charities of her choice, money we need to fund charities of our choice. She diverts local funds creating artificial nonexisting budget shortfalls in order to justify tax measures on the ballot. She believes regional issues are more important than local issues. She wants older fixed income citizens to bear the financial burden of unsubstantial tax increases by using expensive reverse mortgages. She believes in higher density developments creating more jams. She has lowered the quality of life and reduced our hard fought level of service we voted and paid for. She has censored our ability to question and denied us to speak on how concurrency of the Growth Management Act is interpreted. She and others adopted an ordinance that prevents us citizens from speaking. She preferred to muzzle us. Do we want the same?

Regarding the article by TJ Martinell on July 16, “Lockhart’s passion for the arts will drive Kirkland Performance Center.” I am concerned and sincerely hope Jeff Lockhart will also bring classical music and live theater to the Kirkland Performance Center, in addition to rock bands and rock music. The KPC was created for all Kirkland residents and in the past has presented excellent theater like “Defending the Cave Man,” jazz and classical music performances. I want to ensure, as the KPC directive states, that Lockhart brings “quality and professional music, theatre and dance to the Eastside.”

Puget Sound Blood Center issued an appeal for donors after collections began to dip sharply as a result of the heat wave earlier this month. During the previous two weeks, more than a half dozen blood drives were suspended or cancelled as temperatures soared. Drives disrupted by the heat wave typically take place in community centers or places of worship not equipped with air conditioning. It takes about 900 donors per day to maintain a sufficient blood supply for more than 80 hospitals in the Pacific Northwest served by PSBC. To avoid a crisis PSBC is asking eligible donors to schedule an appointment at one of its 11 centers, or to find a drive in their community close to where they live or work. Information about locations and times to give blood can be found at psbc.org. Appointments can be made online at schedule.psbc.org or by phone by calling 1-800398-7888.

Memorial for football coach Chuck Tarbox A memorial will be held for former Juanita High School head football coach Chuck Tarbox at 6 p.m. on Monday at the Juanita High School Field House. Tarbox was the football coach at the high school during the 1980s, won back-to-back league titles in 1984 and 1985 and was induced into the Washington State Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1991. Juanita High School is located at 10601 NE 132nd Street in Kirkland.
DelBene raises $457,000 in second quarter First Congressional District U.S. House Rep. Suzan DelBene reported July 16 that her campaign raised $457,939 for the second quarter of 2014, the final full quarterly report before August’s primary election. The campaign also reported
having $1.1 million cash on hand. “It’s exciting how much support is building for the campaign. Our most recent quarter’s report demonstrates the depth and enthusiasm that will make the difference in November,” DelBene said. “As I travel throughout the district, I hear loud and clear that people want representatives who can break the gridlock in Congress. They want someone who will fight to create jobs, grow our economy and expand economic opportu-
nity – priorities I’ve been fighting for since first elected. As we go forward, I will continue to work to deliver results that help working families.” The campaign has now raised a total of $1,717,750 from 2,801 donors for the entire 2014 cycle. The report filed today represents the period between April 1 – June 30 of this year. The next report that will be filed is the pre-primary report was due yesterday. That report will be the last comprehensive report before the Aug. 5 primary.
day. Earlier this summer, Kirkland’s street maintenance crews resurfaced one lane of Northeast 132nd Street beneath Interstate 405. In August, the city of Kirkland is also preserving nearly 30 lane miles of neighborhood roads. Those roads are in the Market, Norkirk, Bridle Trails and South Rose Hill neighborhoods. The material used in this process is a mixture of emulsified asphalt and small aggregate consisting of tiny pieces of gravel and sand. This is “slurry seal.” Slurry seal can extend by five to eight years the lives of neighborhood roads that are already in good condition at a cost of roughly $1,600 per city block. “Slurry seal is not structural,” Kirkland Streets Engineer George Minassian said. “It is only a preservation tool.” The city uses slurry seal on its less traveled roads and on neighborhood access streets that have not already deteriorated.

tion, however, the project will have to remove the two-way, left-turn lane that begins at 116th Place and continues to the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Northeast 124th Street is another arterial that will receive a new surface this construction season. And it will be completed by three different projects—most likely at three different times. The Washington State Department of Transportation will resurface the freeway overpass—probably during the August 8 weekend as part of its I-405 widening project. Construction of the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s interim trail includes the resurfacing of its intersection with Northeast 124th Street—as well as removing the rails that are embedded there. Kirkland’s street overlay program will complete the rest. By the end of the year, these three projects will provide a new surface for Kirkland’s second-most traveled arterial, carrying nearly 37,000 vehicles every

irkland’s overlay contractor began prep work Monday on 120th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 112th Street, two of the six arterials scheduled for overlay this summer. To prepare for the grinding, patching and repaving that will take place on these two streets in the next few weeks, Watson Asphalt’s laborers were “lowering iron” on Monday, process that removes the exposed four to five inches of sewer, water and stormwater utility iron. “We’ll probably do 30 to 40 of them [in one day],” said Chris Schroeder, a Watson Asphalt’s heavy equipment operator. In addition to 120th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 112th Street, the city will also resurface sections of Lake Washington Boulevard, 124th and 132nd streets, as well as 132nd Avenue Northeast. By November, 11.8 lane miles of the city’s more
traveled streets will have new asphalt surfaces—double what the city was able to resurface prior to the passage of the 2012 Streets Levy. Northeast 112th Street is getting more than a new surface. Kirkland is adding bike lanes and a crosswalk island to Northeast 112th Street, as well. The westbound bike lanes will extend from 120th Avenue Northeast to 116th Place Northeast. The eastbound bike lanes will extend from 116th Place Northeast to the yet-to-be-installed pedestrian islands at the Cross Kirkland Corridor. There, the bike lanes will taper into a shared lane, which the city will mark for both bicycles and automobiles. Together, these pedestrian and cycling features will enhance the connection between this southwest quadrant of Totem Lake and the Cross Kirkland Corridor, the 5.75-mile-long walking and cycling trail, which the city began improving this month.

LWIT, CWU offer four-year degree Students at Lake Washington Institute of Technology can now earn a bachelor of applied science degree in information technology and administrative management (BAS-ITAM) from Central Washington University, thanks to a new agreement between the two institutions. The BAS-ITAM program, with specializations in administrative management, information technology and cybersecurity, teaches students how to manage people, projects and information. The program accepts any applied or technical degree, giving students credit for degrees that otherwise would be non-transferable to fouryear degree programs. The BAS-ITAM degree will be delivered in hybrid classes at LWTech and online starting in the fall. Students enrolled in the CWU ITAM program at LWTech will have access to resources at both institutions. They also will be supported by CWULynnwood, co-located at Edmonds Community College, for additional financial aid assistance, library resources, writing help, career services and academic advising.

The Lake Washington School District Board of Directors has made adjustments in student fees for middle and high school students for the 2014-15 school year. Specifically, the cost for Associated Student Body (ASB) membership cards will increase while athletic participation fees will decrease. Athletics fees rose significantly in the 2009-10 school year as part of budget cuts required after significant cuts in state funding during the recession. After a lengthy public process, parents and community members favored higher fees rather than teacher layoffs or cuts to classroom services. As a result, Lake Washington School District’s high school athletic participation fee of $275 per sport has been the highest in the area since then. “We appreciate that our community put its priority clearly on keeping resources in the classroom,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “Through these efforts, our district was one of the few that did not lay off teachers at that time. Now that our budget picture has improved somewhat, we wanted to bring our athletic fees closer to those in surrounding districts and reduce that burden on families.” The high school participation fee will be $200 per sport in 2014-15, a reduction of $75. No individual student will pay more than $400, no matter how many sports they play. (The old cap per student was $550.) No family will pay more than $725 in athletic participation fees to the same school, down from the previous cap of $1000. The cost per sport in middle school will be $75, a reduction of $40. The maximum for an individual student will be $150, down from $210. The cap for fees for a family to the same
school will be $225 at middle school, as opposed to $315 last year. Families who are unable to afford the fee can apply for a fee waiver. ASB fees, which had not been increased since 2006, rose by $5 at the middle school level from $20 to $25. The cost at high school will be $50, up from $40. The exception is International Community School and Tesla STEM High School, where the ASB cost will be $30 since those schools do not have athletic programs.

Kirkland Fire Department: Be fire wise The Kirkland Fire Department reminds Kirkland residents that as the summer season progresses, extended periods of hot, dry weather are expected to continue across Western Washington. During this time, Be Fire Wise. Be proactive to prevent uncontrolled fires and be prepared if one should occur. What you can do to be “fire wise” and proactive? Residents are encouraged to take care when enjoying recreational fires, barbequing and when discarding smoking material. If you have a fire, always keep it attended and always make sure it is “dead out” when you are done. Clearing of dead or
dry brush from property lines and from around houses can also reduce the dangers from uncontrolled fires. Residents in areas with dense undergrowth and tree cover should take extra precautions to keep defensible spaces clear around their homes. We recommend reducing combustibles and brush within 30 feet of homes and mowing all grass within 70 feet.

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.
