Many voice opposition to buses on trail during open meeting at KPC

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

esidents packed the Kirkland Performance Center (KPC) Thursday night during an open meeting with city officials as part of an ongoing discussion about the future of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). While the city is looking to lobby Sound Transit to include bus rapid transit along the CKC on their planned ballot measure next fall, many residents have voiced strong opposition to the plan for a variety of reasons.

Following an informal meeting inside the KPC’s lobby, where residents were able to discuss the concepts with city staff, the city gave a formal presentation in the theater before soliciting questions from the audience, many of whom wore green in the form of shirts, bandanas and scarves to express their opposition to BRT. A group called “Save Our Trails” has also set up a website voicing their belief that “buses and trails don’t mix.”

City Manager Kurt Triplett said during the presentation that they’re attempting to address several related but not directly connected issues, one of which is traffic congestion.

In a 2014 Citizen Survey, which the city does every two years, they found that citizens rated traffic very low in terms of how the city was performing, while simultaneously rating it as moderately important.

“Our goal is always to make the corridor better and more useful to people,” he said. “We’re thrilled to know you all love it. It’s a

good thing.”

The city’s hope is for Sound Transit to build a two-lane BRT system from Totem Lake to downtown Bellevue, with around 6-8 stations in Kirkland, where electric buses would stop every six and a half minutes. Sound Transit has an easement on the CKC. Earlier this year the City Council approved a $250,000 conceptual design plan for a BRT they hope to present to Sound Transit in order to convince them to place it on the ballot.

Triplett has previously said the design plan would provide the city with a strong vision of what the BRT would look like in terms of scale and feel, which he said would be a smaller, less expensive and less impactful BRT system.

The BRT would take up about 24-36 feet of space out of the 100 foot-wide corridor, which the city said, if built on the east side of the corridor, would allow them to keep the interim trail where it currently sits on the corridor while allowing for an additional trail. Triplett referenced the Google section of the trail, which has a park and recreational space, as an example of what they see existing elsewhere along the CKC. Another potential project would install a light rail system on the corridor, an idea which has drawn the support of some residents who believe it would take up less space and be more efficient than BRT. One resident during the question and answer segment referenced the Amsterdam Metro, which uses a combi [ more TRAIL page 2 ]

Juanita football season comes to an end

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The Juanita High School football team’s season came to an end against Bishop Blanchet, 73-28, on Saturday during the 3A quarterfinal state playoff game in Seattle at Memorial Stadium.

The Braves wasted no time getting on the board, scoring on its first play from scrimmage, a 60-yard run. The private school would build a 20-7

first-quarter lead and never look back.

Juanita stayed in the game but trailed 40-21 at halftime.

The second half was all Braves, as they outscored the Rebels, 34-7.

Two players for Blanchet were responsible for nearly 750 yards of offense.

Quarterback Alex Freeman threw for 430 yards

and the Rebels gave up 300 yards and four touchdowns to Braves running back Oshea Trujillo.

Despite the lopsided loss, Juanita finishes the season 9-3 under firstyear head coach Lele Te’o. This was the first time in nearly 25 years the Rebels have advanced to the state quarterfinals.

The Kirkland Winterfest Holiday Tree Lighting and Music Festival will be held from 2-6 p.m. on Sunday at Marin Park in downtown Kirkland. The event is presented by the Kirkland Downtown Association.

The festival will include performances, carols, kids’ activities, games, Santa arrival, refreshments and food. The annual tree lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. will mark the beginning of the Winterfest celebration.

Carriage rides will be available, along with pictures with Santa for $10. The pictures will be available in print onsite, as well as a digital copy. The Seahawks game will also be televised at the park starting at 1:30 p.m. Food trucks and vendors will also be available.

Carolers will perform on the Argosy ship and children will be able to sled thanks to snow brought in by Life Church.

As part of the festival, the entire Lakeshore Plaza and Kirkland Avenue up to Lake Street will be closed.

Prior to the festival, the city will celebrate Small Business Saturday with a ribbon cutting for the new art-work on Park Lane, which will also include pictures with Santa and princesses at 11 a.m. in the hallway near Flatstick Pub.

nation of rapid transit and light rail.

However, city officials said it would include fewer stops in Kirkland and also add complications at intersections, whereas buses could simply drive onto the roads.

Public Works Director Kathy Brown stated that other city-based solutions, such as building more streets or widening existing roads, would be far too costly and most residents have already expressed their opposition to those plans. Additionally, she said even if they did, drivers from Interstate-405 stuck in bad traffic would turn off into Kirkland and clog up those extra lanes.

www.kirklandreporter.com

Aside from population growth, one of the main causes for traffic congestion is the fact that those who work in Kirkland don’t live in Kirkland (92 percent) and those who live in Kirkland don’t work there (90 percent), which means both have to drive in and out of the city every day.

“Traffic congestion is only going to get worse unless we do something about it,” Brown said. “Our goal is to keep our options open and our projects on that list.”

One of the possible projects to be included in Sound Transit’s ballot 2016 measure is BRT on I-405. Although city officials stated it might not serve Kirkland’s needs as

well, some residents like Suzanne Welton, who handed out fliers and green-colored clothing articles outside the KPC, believes they should look to the infrastructure already present on I-405 rather than use the corridor for what she believes would be an inappropriate use.

“To me, it’s like the BurkeGilman Trail,” she said. “You wouldn’t want buses on that trail.”

The Burke-Gilman trail is a 27-mile recreational

trail that runs along a nowabandoned railway corridor in Seattle.

Throwing a wrench in the works is the fact that although the city purchased the CKC section of the Eastside Rail Corridor from the Port of Seattle, Sound Transit still retains easement rights to put in rapid transit. On top of that, Sound Transit’s own process for determining projects to go on the ballot was shortened significantly when the state legislature went into

special session, forcing them to wait until the legislature gave them the authorization to place a measure on the ballot.

One of the city’s fears, Triplett said, is rapid transit going in that didn’t take into account Kirkland’s transportation needs would geographically and politically divide the city. Also, because it sometimes takes a decade for a Sound Transit project to actually get built, Triplett said, if the city is going to get regional help with traffic congestion it needs to be included in this next ballot measure.

However, the city’s explanations didn’t satisfy many of the audience members.

At one point they laughed sarcastically when city officials tried to assure them that the two possible rapid transit projects on the CKC wouldn’t wreck the interim trail. During the question and answer segment, some residents questioned the feasibility of a BRT on the CKC and how it would be able to cross intersections

every few minutes, along with the logistics involved for constructing it. Others also questioned why the BRT was being promoted now but hadn’t been as promoted when the city had approached residents about buying the corridor.

Triplett replied that because Sound Transit decides what type of rapid transit would go in, if at all, they chose to focus on what they could build, such as the interim trail. Concerning actual construction, Brown stated that it would most likely be done in stages, requiring the corridor be closed at certain points, though the actual logistics really depend on what goes on the trail.

However, city officials also said that property along the corridor wouldn’t be impacted unless the owners had built within Sound Transit’s easement.

Kirkland-based Bluetooth celebrates milestone, sets goals for future kind of centralized unit in the home. It might be the same as your internet access point. It might be your computer. To the extent that it can see all the different devices around your house, it can service that kind of central controlling point. You don’t have to go to it but you might be on your smart phone from some place else in the house and someplace else in the world and be able to come in through this centralized device and be able to access all of the other devices in your home.”

The longer range is made possible by cranking up the power for the device and also

encoding the signals so that the receiver is more sensitive and blocks out the noise coming from other electronic devices, all of which will be a large benefit to sports and fitness-related devices in which fast speed is needed to get data as quickly as possible.

“If you’re just trying to get from your headset to phone, power set is low,” Nixon said.

“If you’re trying to transmit from home to home, multiple walls, that’s when you need higher power.”

The result of these improvement is a longer battery life for Bluetooth devices.

“It’s the simple fact that

if you only have to have the radio half as long, you only lose half as much battery,” Nixon said. “I think about the higher speed mostly as making them last.

With concerns over digital security growing in

recent years, Powell said that they working to keep them compliant with all Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS).

Recently the Kirklandbased Bluetooth Special Interest Group, which oversees Bluetooth technology, celebrated the 28,000-member mark of companies who use its technology and products.

Along with the milestone, the company has also announced its plans for next year to improve consumer experience by improving speed times, longer effective range, and the batter, life for their products.

Their long-term goals are to have Bluetooth in just about everything.

“You integrate it with your life,” Executive Director Mark Powell said. “You’ll know things about yourself that you didn’t know before.”

Originally starting as a wireless headset for phones, Bluetooth technology is now present in tens of thousands of products ranging from door locks and light switches to soccer balls and car systems. Three billion Bluetooth-enabled devices were shipped in 2014, with the hottest selling items wireless speakers and headphones.

As the company continues to expand its membership base, it’s also taken a new direction on how Bluetooth technology can improve people’s lives through what is called the Internet of Things (IoT), which refers to the network of products capable of collecting and exchanging data digitally.

Chairman Toby Nixon said that in practical terms it means being able to control your home’s lights, appliances, heating ventilation, thermostat and other electronics wirelessly through Bluetooth.

One specific example he gave are television sets.

Traditionally used with an infrared, line-of-sight remote control, he said Bluetooth will enable users to control the device not just somewhere in the house outside of the living room, but anywhere in the world.

“It’s basically enabling people to control everything in their life from everywhere,” he said.

Other home-based products can include the sprinkler system, rain sensors, and outside lighting.

“Being able to reach the end of your property is a real benefit,” Nixon said.

A relatively new application, he added, are tags users can use to keep track of things such as your keys. If they’re lost, you can use your smartphone to track them

down.

Another industry Bluetooth has the potential to radically transform is healthcare, where data collection speed and range can reduce unnecessary appointments.

Powell also said that it will enable medical providers to receive vital data on patients quickly, especially for people with conditions where delayed treatment can make a difference in the outcome.

“You see weight scales with Bluetooth, thermometers, blood pressure meters, and the Bluetooth in those is used to synchronize your health carrier information and automatically load it up to database in cloud so a doctor or nurse can be notified if something unusual happens,” Nixon said.

Their goals for 2016 will allow such products by extending Bluetooth’s maximum distance between the user and the product itself.

“You can be farther away from a device and still be able to access it,” he said. “When we think about the internet of things we think of some

How the Great War undid Europe

E

arlier this month our country celebrated Armistice Day, when Allies and Entente forces signed the armistice in a train car, ending the first World War, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Recently I read a book about World War I, “A World Undone,” by G.J. Meyer. Anyone who wants to understand the current situation in Europe should check it out.

Although World War II killed far more people, I consider its predecessor to be worse for several reasons. For one, the second war was, in many ways, just an extension of the first.

When Britain declared war on Germany in August 1914, the British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey remarked that ”the lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.” At that moment, England, France and Germany were at the forefront of the world in terms of banking, military strength, cultural achievements and the arts, with Russia attempting to finally remove the last vestige of Medieval serfdom and feudalism. A mere four years later, their wealth was drained, tens of millions had died and Russia was in the hands of the Bolsheviks. While the war brought leaps in military technology, it was a steep price to pay for their once proud armies, now reduced to shambles of their former selves, their finest troops buried by the millions around small French villages.

It can be extremely difficult for us to grasp just how horrific the costs were to these nations. The War Between the States, as appalling as the casualties were at battles like Antietam and Gettysburg, pale in comparison to the Siege of Verdun or the First Battle of the Somme, the latter of which cost the British Army around 20,000 men in the first

OPINION

[4] November 27, 2015

day’s fighting - in comparison, America lost 58,000 men in the entire Vietnam War. The war destroyed more than just buildings and lives. It also destroyed future generations; their potential contributions to the world can only be speculated. And for those who survived, the war shattered their faith in their respective cultures and left a bitter cynicism. The troops anguishing in the trenches, while their officers were barracked in better conditions, came to empathize with their fellow infantrymen on the side of No Man’s Land, and the first year of the war they even came out of the trenches to celebrate Christmas together, even playing soccer.

Adding to the tragedy was how the war became self-perpetuating, aided by modern propaganda campaigns portraying the enemy as barbarians unworthy of pity or compassion. By the time the nations’ leaders finally tried to negotiate, they realized they had lost too many men to merely return

things back to the pre-war situation. Something had to be gained in order to justify the loss of so many of their countries’ men. Thus, it became a zero-sum game, neither side would capitulate, and young men continued to die by the thousands for a few meters of land.

Germany only surrendered when it was on the verge of starvation, and the Treaty of Versailles, which forced them to accept sole blame for starting the conflict when nearly all parties involved in the scene shared culpability, guaranteed that it would merely be “an armistice for 20 years,” as one diplomat called it.

Europe survived to fight another world war, but as Meyer demonstrates in his book, the “Great War” may have delivered a fatal wound to their civilizations.

We oppose any kind of rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. No matter how clean-running light rail cars or electric buses might be, they are noisy and would despoil the nature and intent of this walking/biking trail, even if they ran 30-feet away.

Instead, put rapid transit on the new, underused express-toll lanes on I-405. That could be done almost immediately.

Current trend in large, modern, box-housing designs Is anyone else concerned about the present and future architectural character of our Kirkland community?

Over the last several years, Kirkland has experienced a lot of infill housing throughout our community. I’ve noticed that recently, the design trend in residential housing is to offer large, modern “box” architectural styles, with large rectangular windows and big price tags.

This new design trend seems to be dominating the new single family housing market around our town. What ever happened to more traditional housing styles like Craftsman, etc. which seem to stand the test of time, and never go out of style?

If think about what has happened with much of the commercial real estate in the downtown Seattle commercial core, where the dubious office

building architecture of the 1950’s and 1960’s is now being torn down and replaced with new development, while much of the high quality architectural structures from the 1920 and 1930’s are value d and preserved. Everyone has different tastes, and that of course extends to our various housing types. But a note to area developers doing work in our city, let’s see some real choices in housing styles in our neighborhood infill areas.

wouldn’t show up at Ford of Kirkland and leave in a new vehicle with the terms being “we’ll let you know what it costs later.”

If the city is serious about having a new aquatic facility they need to find a suitable location, get numerous bids for its construction, figure cost overruns (because there always are) and then present an actual funding plan that taxpayers can consider.

What is the cause of pedestrian injuries?

In Kirkland we still have vehicle pedestrian injuries in spite of the flags and some flashing poles mounted LED cross walks.

An engineering technique called root cause analysis show why and what we as a city can do to increase the safety of our streets.

This technique has been used to improve many other key transportation networks like rail, ships, freight, freeride and passenger airlines.

Lets call for a process improvement effort like this in our city.

It should be a crowd sourced video web site so we tap the best and brightest tech and transportation minds.

Kirkland is a city of thinkers with the skills to lead the country in safe and efficient transportation.

The Board of Directors of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and Kirkland Downtown Association voted last month to separate the combined board of directors for the two organizations, after five years of operating with a combined board structure. This change comes because the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce is working to grow all of the major business districts in Kirkland, while the Kirkland Downtown Association is focused solely on downtown.

“The expansion of the Kirkland Downtown Board of Directors is an exciting endeavor, as it will allow us to pull in more participants with an interest in the vitality of the downtown area, including business owners, residents and property owners,” said Kirkland Downtown Association President Kristen Gonzales.

The Kirkland Downtown Association will continue to focus on events and projects that bring people to downtown Kirkland to shop and play, including events such as Celebrate Kirkland 4th of July, Kirkland Summerfest, Kirkland Classic Car Show, Kirkland Summer Concert Series and the upcoming Kirkland Winterfest.

The Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce has made great strides to incorporate participation from each business district in Kirkland and seeks to continue encouraging participation from all areas of Kirkland. The organization has been intentional in bringing networking events to each neighborhood in 2015, including after hours, networking lunches, and special events taking place in Juanita, Totem Lake, Kingsgate, Bridle Trails, Rose Hill, and South Kirkland, as well as downtown.

Youth Eastside Services expands psychiatric care In response to community needs, Youth Eastside Services (YES) has kicked off a collaboration with Seattle Children’s Hospital that expands its psychiatric services.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 13–20 percent of children living in the United States experience a mental disorder in a given year — and additional research has shown the prevalence of these conditions is growing.

“We heard from parents and the community that they wanted our psychiatric services to be more accessible,” said YES Executive Director Patti Skelton-McGougan.

The Cascade Water Alliance announced that it is joining the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett in moving to the lowest stage of their Water Shortage Response Plans, the advisory stage, saying conditions no longer warrant being in the “voluntary” stage in which customers were asked to reduce water use by 10 percent.

Cascade and its members,

“We’re excited to be able to better meet the needs of the families we serve.”

The expansion was prompted in part by the retirement of Dr. Robert McConaughy, YES’ current psychiatric provider. In McConaughy’s place, YES has hired two new practitioners, who will work with YES’ therapists and clinical directors to support youth and families in YES’ care: · Robyn Bennetts, ARNP, has been a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for 10 years. She has extensive experience in treating a variety of social and emotional issues in children and adolescents including ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression and more. She also has experience treating behavioral issues including anger,

substance use, excessive video game and technology use, and others. Before joining YES, Bennetts held Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner positions at Fairfax Hospital, Group Health and Navos. · Rebecca A. Hopkinson, MD, completed both medical school and her psychiatry residency in New York, and came to the West Coast to complete her specialty training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Washington. Hopkinson has a wide variety of interests, including mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and LGBTQ issues.

“My goal is to help people at all stages of development achieve their greatest potential,” Bennetts said. “I consider it a privilege to help children and families on their journeys to optimum mental health.”

Kirkland couple shows how caregivers make the difference when illness strikes

BY CYNTHIA FLASH Special to the Reporter

I

t was a business relationship turned midlife romance for Carolyn and Alan Yabui. She sold multimedia software and he was a teacher of intercultural communications who bought software on behalf of Bellevue College.

They bonded after she mentioned she’d won a trip to Hawaii, and he gave her travel tips based on his years growing up there. With visions of future adventures together, they married 15 years ago.

Fast forward to today.

Alan Yabui is retired from the college after a 22-year teaching career that ended last November. At age 75, he’s been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure and Alzheimer’s disease. Carolyn, nine years younger, has a new role as his primary caregiver. As with many caregivers, her life now revolves around her husband’s needs.

“Caregiving is much more complicated than most people imagine,” the Kirkland woman said. “There’s the daily problem-solving or things to fix or clean up

due to some of the things Alan does without thinking.

There’s the usual cleaning and cooking and finances and driving. I do everything, basically.”

But, she adds, “Being a caregiver is more than daily chores. It includes how we feel and the symptoms we saw developing in our loved ones as the years went by, and not being able to do anything about it until finally a neurologist puts a brain problem into perspective. ‘It will only get worse,’ they say, but one has no clue how long one’s caregiving must go on. The future looks dim as life seems to pass us by while we age.”

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to recognize caregivers and all they do. This year’s theme is respite – the chance to take a breather, the opportunity to re-energize, an important item on any caregiver’s to-do list.

“People think of respite as a luxury, but considering caregivers’ increased risk for health issues from chronic stress, those risks are a lot costlier than some time away to recharge,” notes The Caregiver Action Network, a

“Respite is the key to your own well-being. Respite protects your own health, strengthens family relationships, prevents burn-out and allows your loved one to stay at home up to three times longer.”

Although Carolyn understands the need for respite, it’s actually a luxury since she doesn’t have friends or family to help with Alan. Instead, she hires another caregiver to

fill in for her two Saturdays a month so she can get away to spend time with friends or her children.

Life these days isn’t how she imagined it would be 15 years ago. Carolyn takes Alan three times a week to Northwest Kidney Center’s Kirkland dialysis clinic for treatments to remove waste from his body and keep him alive.

When the couple traveled to Maui last year, she needed

to arrange for him to receive dialysis treatments at a clinic there. It’s just one of the many activities she must do to help keep Alan healthy.

“It’s frustrating and it’s sad to see somebody go downhill,” she said. “And it’s overwhelming to have to do everything and to think of everything.”

Yet Carolyn works hard to keep Alan as healthy as possible – both mentally and physically. Sitting beside

him, she makes him sort and count the 19 pills he takes each day. She has him take out the trash and get the mail, even when it means reminding him to come back in. They take cooking classes together so he has to pay attention as he cuts, stirs and tastes. “Since he likes to eat and he likes the company, there he does focus as best he can,” she said.

Despite early complications, Alan is doing well with dialysis now. Some of his former students work for Northwest Kidney Centers.

The 12 hours he spends on dialysis every week give Carolyn time to run errands and catch up.

“Familiar, ongoing support is what keeps a lot of people going in the face of significant health challenges,” said Louise Kato, director of patient quality of life services at Northwest Kidney Centers.

“And the caregiving job is probably the toughest there is. Respite is necessary and well-deserved.”

“For many dialysis patients and others with chronic illness, caregivers are absolutely essential to the patient’s success with treatment,” she said.

Author discusses how to graduate from college early, save money meant less time to accrue debt.

In the end, she graduated in 2007, two years early, at age 20 — and on top of that, debt free.

After she left college, Stephens said people began asking her how she did what she did. It got to the point where she thought she should write a book as many of these strategies were unknown to most of the people who approached her.

And that is exactly what she did.

“College, Quicker: 24 Practical Ways to Save Money and Get Your Degree Faster” was released in July and offers tips and strategies on how people can do what she did.

BY SAMANTHA PAK Reporter Newspapers

K

ate Stephens’ family let her know that they did not have any money for her to go to college.

Being left on her own and with this in mind, the Redmond resident applied for financial aid. She received nothing and so she had to find other ways to pay for school. Stephens — who attended Northwest University in Kirkland — did not want to end up under a mountain of debt, so she had to figure out ways to save money.

One of those ways came to her one day while in her school’s registrar’s office. She was going over her transcript with an analyst and they said her participation in a high school summer scholars program at Washington University in St. Louis could count toward graduation credits and that would put her a semester ahead in her graduation requirements.

“It was a lightbulb moment,” Stephens said.

One of her goals from that point on was to see how she could graduate early, as that

Testing and traveling for credits One of Stephens’ favorite strategies that she shares in her book is CLEP exams. She said these exams are administered by the College Board — the same company that does the SATs and PSATs. The exams are advertised and

geared toward adult learners, but Stephens said anyone can take them. The 90-minute tests are $80 each and in various subjects and you can earn anywhere between 3-12 college credits.

“I actually earned 30 credits,” Stephens said, adding that this equated to about a year of credits (on a semester schedule).

The 28-year-old said intersession abroad programs can also help you graduate early. These programs are short-term study abroad programs that typically take place during winter or spring break or maybe an extended holiday break. Stephens said in these programs, students will usually travel to another country, take a class or two and can earn a few credits.

When she was in college, she did a 10-day trip in Europe, traveling to the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, and earned two credits. Class sessions were in the morning and she and her classmates were able to explore during the afternoons.

Stephens added that sometimes in these programs, there are some class sessions before or after the trip and

usually run a few hundred dollars to $1,000 and often include some sort of volunteer or service project.

Life experience counts

KATE STEPHENS

sometimes they involve a paper, project or presentation after the students return stateside.

Stephens noted that these types of programs run about $2,000, which is a good value because it includes travel and the college credits. However, she realizes that not everyone can afford this, so she said another option is alternative spring break programs.

These types of programs

The final tip Stephens shared with the Reporter was geared more toward adult learners. She encouraged those returning to school to put together a prior learning portfolio, which documents what they have learned from their work and life experiences and how that equates to classes and credits.

Stephens said students can typically earn between 15 and 18 credits.

And for all students, Stephens encourages them to look into their prospective school’s transfer credit policy as that will tell them what the school will accept from outside sources.

When one door opens…

For Stephens, publishing a book was never really something she had in mind to do. She said she always wanted to be an occupational

therapist and was studying this in graduate school at the University of Washington right before she began writing her book. Eventually, Stephens, who has a genetic disorder called EhlersDanlos syndrome that affects her ligaments, realized occupational therapy was too physically intensive for her body to handle and she left school.

“It was hard,” she admits, adding that leaving school was her hardest “break up.”

But after that, Stephens began working on “College, Quicker.” The book took a long time to get published as the editing process was much more involved than she had realized.

The book is available in Barnes and Noble and there are 15 copies circulating in the King County Library System. Stephens, an avid library patron, admitted that seeing her book on a library shelf was more thrilling than seeing it at the bookstore.

“It was amazing,” she said about having a book published, adding that this experience has opened her to other avenues of writing.

LWSD honors community partners, celebrates success

BY ANDY NYSTROM Reporter Newspapers

L

ake Washington School District (LWSD) Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce proudly displayed the button she and others were wearing, emblazoned with the district motto: “Growing together, serving our community.”

About an hour earlier on Nov. 18, Dr. Pierce gave a state of the district address to a roomful of about 70 people, including elected officials, heads of agencies, business leaders and parent leaders, at the inaugural Community Leaders Breakfast held in the district’s Resource Center Board Room in Redmond.

“We could not do our work without all of you,” Pierce told the attendees.

During her address, Pierce shared LWSD’s mission and vision for its students, highlighted some of its programs — from preschool through high school and a New Teacher Support Program — and thanked the community for its support and involvement.

She also read from President Obama’s proclamation to celebrate American Education Week, which focused on communities recommitting to helping schools be the best they can be and helping students achieve their dreams.

Pierce noted that she believes if the district stays true to its four core values and five strategic goals, then LWSD will be on the road to completing its mission and vision.

The core values are being student centered, learning focused, community connected and results oriented; the strategic goals are ensuring academic success for every student; providing safe and innovative learning environments; recruiting, hiring and retaining highly effective personnel; using resources effectively and being fiscally responsible; and engaging its communities.

“I’m most proud of the fact that we have such a great community who cares about public education,” Pierce said.

“Everyone’s willing to work together, whether you’re from the city or from business

Lake Washington School District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce addresses the crowd at the Community Leaders Breakfast on Nov. 18 in Redmond. ANDY NYSTROM, Reporter Newspapers or community to help our schools be great. I’m just proud to be a part of that.”

Here’s some of LWSD’s student successes that Pierce highlighted at the event: • The district’s graduation rate has risen over the past three years from 89 percent to 92 percent. The state average is 77 percent.

• Ninety-two percent of seniors graduated on time last spring, and half of the students who did not graduate on time are still enrolled and working to complete their high school diploma.

The target is 100 percent graduation by 2018.

• Currently, 81 percent of students enter a two- or four-year college directly after

high school compared to 62 percent statewide. The target is 88 percent post-secondary enrollment by 2018.

• Eighty-nine percent of students earn college credit while still in high school.

• LWSD students outperform state and national averages on tests. Average SAT critical reading scores in the district rose by 11 points over last year. Reading scores across the state of Washington fell by eight points, and nationally, reading scores decreased by two points.

• SAT writing scores rose by 11 points; state scores fell by seven and national scores fell by three.

• SAT math scores were the highest they have been in

November 27, 2015 [11] the past four years. They rose nine points over last year, while state scores fell eight points and national scores fell by two points.

• Students in grades 3-8 performed 23–27 percent higher than the state average on the new state assessments.

Another highlight of the event was a Skype session with Lake Washington High School astronomy teacher Ryan Palmer and his students. LWSD communications director Kathryn Reith noted that Palmer and one of his students spoke about having one-to-one laptops and communicating through a learning management system called HAIKU. Pierce added that LWSD received awards for reducing waste and saving energy and dollars; got clean results from audits; and saved taxpayers money through bond refinancing.

Pierce also spoke about the district’s enrollment growth, which has averaged an additional 625 students per year over the past five years.

LWSD is now the fourthlargest district in the state with 27,830 students.

“Our biggest challenge right now is really connected to our second goal to provide safe and innovative learning environments, in that based

on our growth and our need to address the aging facilities, we just don’t have enough classroom space for students,” Pierce said.

She said by the end of next year, LWSD will have 168 portables across the district and the district grew 1,114 students in the last year. To solve the growth challenge, they convened the LongTerm Facilities Planning Task Force last year. From December 2014 until November 2015, the group engaged with the community, did analysis and research. They recommended that the district needs to build more schools, and Pierce said LWSD will be taking the next steps in 2016 toward making that happen.

“I’m proud of where we are and where we’re headed,” Pierce said. “There’s always work to do. We don’t rest on our laurels. We’re always trying to see how we can improve and do things better.”

On the teacher front regarding student growth, Pierce added: “As we grow, we’re going to need more teachers, just like everyone else across the state. So that challenge of how do we set ourselves apart as a place where people will want to come and work, that’s something we’re focusing on.”

“The smell…well…it made you nauseous,” he said. “I remember how miserable I was. I had no feeling of being frightened or anything. My destiny had already been taken care of. I was just going with the flow.”

Using ropes to climb the seawall, Schladerman narrowly missed death when the man above him was shot and dropped to the ground. Reaching the top, he came across a group of GIs, including a sergeant. Handing Schladerman a rifle, he ordered him to remain put and help with the ammunition and supplies.

No GIs, he said, ever came up the seawall after him.

Omaha Beach would later prove to be one of the deadliest assaulted by Allied troops on D-Day. By the time his uniform had dried, he decided to join the GIs ahead of him, who

had gone to a crater. There, he discovered they had all been killed. Later, elements of the 29th Divisions found him with the bodies. Officers from the platoon of the GIs killed then had Schladerman sent back to England to provide notes to their regiment for the killed men’s citations. Shipped back to France, his unit was attached to Task Force A in the Third Army under Patton, carrying out recon missions in Northern France. Operating the radio, he also manned his tank destroyer’s .50 caliber machine gun. Participating in action around Saint-Malo, he had yet another near-death experience when he was carrying a wounded comrade back to Allied lines after their tank destroyer was blown up. Attempting to reach a farmhouse, he was forced to play dead on the ground with the wounded soldier when several Germans pulled up in a vehicle. Assuming he was dead, the German soldiers kicked at him, but otherwise left him alone.

Schladerman was also a POW for a brief spell when he was later captured by a small group of German soldiers, only to be rescued shortly after by other GIs. He had to first show his dog tags to provide that underneath his mud-caked uniform he

was an American.

Following their sweep across northern France, Schladerman was stationed on the Siegfried Line, a series of fortifications along the western border of Germany. Manning a .50 caliber machine gun in a dugout, Schladerman was wounded during an artillery duel between the British/Canadian and German forces. Taking shrapnel in his left arm, he still has the scars 70 years later.

During that time, Schladerman recalls the engineers, tasked with destroying German pillboxes with demolition charges, as “the bravest people I ever met.”

“They took the casualties, but I don’t think they got the credit for taking out those pillboxes,” he said.

Schladerman added that the 83rd Division, protecting their left flank, later pulled out to relive the 101st Division surrounded by the German army in the Belgium town of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.

“It left us with a very fragile line,” he said.

Following the end of operations, Schladerman acted as a guard for prisoners convicted of violent crimes.

He was eventually shipped home and arrived in Pomona in the fall of 1945.

While other veterans struggled to transition from the war zone they had lived in for years to the relatively peaceful home environment, and despite the many traumatic things he had seen,

Schladerman said it was not an issue for him. When he arrived back home, his hometown newspaper anticipated his homecoming with a write-up.

“Everybody knew I was a GI coming home, which I didn’t mind,” he said. “I was the first GI that came home early, so I had a choice of women.”

Unable to find a job in his hometown, he used the GI Bill first to go to junior college. He went on to earn a Bachelors of Science in advertising and art. While at college, he said, he continued to sketch out his wartime experiences.

Moving to Kirkland in 1966, he and his wife of 55-years, Donna, still own a home at Carillon Point.

Like many other World War II veterans, Schladerman has tried to maintain a low profile over the years and not seek the spotlight, but his war record has made that difficult, and he has received numerous write-ups in both magazines as well as his hometown newspaper.

During a high school class reunion years after the war, a classmate of his recalled finding a “Kilroy was here” graffiti in a French town after taking it from the Germans.

Schladerman admitted that he had signed the graffiti and added Pomona, his hometown, to the wall.

“I told him I was an advertising artist,” he recalled, “and we both agreed it pays to advertise.”

THANKS TO OVERLAKE URGENT CARE, HER BROKEN WRIST DIDN’T BREAK THE BANK. When you need a doctor right away but it’s not life-threatening, Overlake’s Eastside Urgent Care clinics can treat you for around the same price as a typical doctor’s visit. Our Issaquah and Redmond clinics are open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and our new Downtown Bellevue clinic is open Monday through Saturday from noon until 10 p.m. It’s the Eastside-focused care you need, when you need it. To learn more, visit overlakehospital.org/clinics.
