Most-read stories of 2015

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

There was a little bit of everything in the news this year in Kirkland. From a bear that was captured in the Totem Lake neighborhood, tolls being placed on I-405 and the ongoing dispute over transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor, to the beginning of two major redevelopments, there was something big every week in the pages of the Reporter. The following is a list of the most read stories on kirklandreporter.com for 2015.

Parkplace renamed Kirkland Urban Earlier this year Talon Private Capital renamed their planned mixed-use property at Kirkland Parkplace “Kirkland Urban.” Redevelopment is planned for some time this year, and they recently finished their last meeting with the design review board concerning their conceptual design.

Principal Owner Jim Neal said that they settled on the new name after submitting a new master plan to the city last October once they realized it needed to have a separate brand to represent.

Phase 1 of the redevelopment will include the demolition of 505 Parkplace Center where Todd’s Crab Cracker is located and the building across from the QFC, where

an underground parking lot will be installed. Businesses will be moving out by Dec. 1, and some have already either closed or made the move to a new location. Three new buildings will then be constructed, two office and one residential featuring 190 apartment units. Each business will have its own storefront and, excluding the restaurants, the spaces range from 800-10,000 square feet.

The underground parking lot will have 1,650 stalls, which Neal and Investment Director Bill Leedom said allows for more open space on the property than included in the original master plan.

Bear Captured in Kirkland Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife captured what is believed to be the first bear in at least 30 years in Kirkland after he was found in October up a tree in the Totem Lake neighborhood.

The male black bear was later released by the Fish and Wildlife in Fall City, according to Sgt. Kim Chandler, who tracked the bear on a map when it was first reported near the Microsoft Campus in Redmond a month prior to his capture.

Despite the dozen reports made by residents, not one of them described the bear as being aggressive, who Chandler said mostly rummaged through people’s garbage or [ more 2015 page 3 ]

Local 10-year-old Angel helps her mom Renay Ferguson move into their new apartment. CONTRIBUTED

Kirkland family finds steady ground through Hopelink

BY DAN AZNOFF Special to the Reporter

Ten-year-old Angel has literally become the poster child for the ability of charitable organizations to help families regain their stability and become contributing members of the community.

Angel and her little brother Achillis were living in the backseat of their parents’ car on the streets of Kirkland on a cold and damp winter night hoping

for an extra pair of warm socks while her parents huddled in the front seat and prayed for a miracle.

“We were ready to give up when we called 211, the health and human services referral number in Washington State,” her mother Renay Ferguson remembered. “They gave us more than just a handout and a warm bed for the night. We moved into the Hopelink shelter in Kenmore. We had hot water and real beds for

the kids.”

Once the family had food and shelter, Hopelink helped Ferguson and her husband find jobs. Renay began working in the supply room at a local hospital and her husband, Ronald George, secured a position as a driver for Habitat for Humanity. The organization also helped the young family repair their finances and apply for permanent low-income housing.

The family wanted to do

more than just say thank you for the generosity that literally saved their lives.

“We’ve come full circle,” Ferguson said proudly.

“Ronald and I now volunteer at the Hopelink food bank in Shoreline.”

Ferguson and George have also sponsored a complete two-bedroom apartment through Hopelink, providing all the essentials from pots and pans to bedding to help another [ more HOPELINK page 9 ]

City hosts second Sound Transit 3 Community Update Jan. 11

In late August 2015, three projects that could provide high capacity transit service to Kirkland advanced from a draft ST3 priority project list to the “candidate” project list. These projects are of interest to the City of Kirkland as they offer high capacity transit alternatives that support Kirkland’s multi-modal transportation policies and goals. If implemented, these projects could help mitigate Kirkland’s traffic

Bus Rapid Transit on I-405 (Candidate Project E-02) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on I-405 in the Express Toll Lane would run from Lynnwood to Renton.

The City has clearly informed Sound Transit that, in addition to the existing freeway stop at 128th Street, I-405 BRT must have new connections to downtown Kirkland at NE 85th Street and southern Totem Lake so that transit links can reach major employers, transit centers, and park and ride lots.

To view project descriptions (“template”): www.soundtransit3.org, select Document Library, click East Candidate Projects, and scroll to the following segments: • E-02a-Segment A: Lynnwood Transit Center to Bellevue Transit Center (Lower Capital) (Pg E-8) • E-02b-Segment A: Lynnwood Transit Center to Bellevue Transit Center (Intensive Capital)(Pg E-30) Sound Transit 3 Candidate Projects proposed on the Cross Kirkland Corridor: The Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) is multi-purpose transportation corridor that extends 42 miles between Snohomish and Renton, WA. In 2011, prior to the City purchasing the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) segment of the ERC, the City adopted an Interest Statement for the ERC which seeks active use of the corridor and serves the transportation needs of Kirkland, connects Totem Lake to the region and designs transit to efficiently move people. The adopted CKC Master Plan captures the community’s vision that the CKC be multi-model transportation corridor. It is a popular destination now, especially for the Interim Trail, and a future corridor for transit.

Sound Transit has a transportation easement along most of the ERC, but including all of the CKC, that allows the agency to place high capacity transit there.

In addition to the Candidate Project that would place BRT on I-405, there are two options for high capacity transit that are being considered for the CKC: EITHER: Candidate Project E-03: Kirkland/Totem Lake to Issaquah via Bellevue Light Rail Transit (LRT) Candidate Project E-03 proposes Light Rail Transit (LRT) on the ERC/CKC that would connect Totem Lake to the East Link in Bellevue and continue to Issaquah, generally following the I-90 corridor.

E-64) OR: Candidate Project E-06: BRT on Eastside Rail Corridor from Kirkland to Bellevue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the ERC would connect Totem Lake to the East Link in Bellevue and the Bellevue Transit Center. BRT on the ERC (including the CKC) would provide connections to employment centers within the cities of Kirkland and Bellevue and provide an easy transition onto State Route 520 (SR 520), avoiding the SR520/I-405 interchange. BRT can be a less impactful alternative to light rail.

congestion. City officials have been engaged with ST regarding these projects to express Kirkland’s expectations and desires should they be included in the final ST3 System Plan that is presented to voters.

For the past several months, city staff have presented at dozens of neighborhood meetings and other forums to discuss potential ST3 projects. On November 19, 2015, Kirkland officials hosted a community Open House to provide information on the City’s high capacity transit needs and an update on the ST3 ballot measure. Attendees expressed a strong sentiment to preserve the Interim Trail on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). Other community members have also expressed the need for high capacity transit in the City and support for transit on the CKC, if done appropriately. Other feedback has included concern about the ability to successfully co-locate the trail with high capacity transit. Concerns have been raised regarding environmental, visual and noise impacts, property values and safety.

On December 4, 2015, ST released a detailed analysis of each of the Candidate Projects. Kirkland staff and consultants are reviewing the results of ST’s analysis and will respond by ST’s deadline of January 21, 2016. Through March 2016, ST will continue to develop the “Draft System Plan” and will initiate a public involvement process in April 2016. The ST Board of Directors will approve the Final System Plan in June 2016. To subscribe to receive ST3 updates, go to www.soundtransit3.org.

Kirkland officials are committed that any transit on the CKC addresses community concerns, is the right scale and fit for Kirkland and that implements the CKC Master Plan vision, which includes a first class trail.

On July 1, 2015, the Washington State Legislature granted Sound Transit (ST) the authority to ask voters in the region to approve new revenue sources for mass transit expansions.

The Sound Transit 3 (ST3) ballot will be on the November 2016 general election ballot. Registered voters in the City of Kirkland will have the opportunity to vote on ST3.

After years of empty storefronts, the Totem Lake Malls was purchased by Centercal Properties during the spring, with the intention of redeveloping the 40-year-old center to give it a village-style feel. As with Kirkland Parkplace, they also renamed their redevelopment to the Village at Totem Lake, with construction expected to begin this year.

In all, the new mall is expected to include one million square feet of space.

The master plan anticipates Metro Transit will add a bus stop along 120th Avenue Northeast, the location of a joint effort between the city and CenterCal as part of a redesign in order to make it more friendly to pedestrians that could include more sidewalks and walkways. In all, the new mall is expected to include one million square feet of space.

The news also came with the termination of leases for business there, including some like Denny’s Pet World that were among the first to open at the mall. Whole Foods Market has announced they intend to open a store there.

Correction The procedure to implant a new knee into a patient from 3D imaging take 30 minutes, not as reported in the Dec. 25 story in the Kirkland Reporter.

The Reporter strives for accuracy in all reportage and regrets the error.

In February, five Juanita High School football players were charged with second degree rape after a hazing incident in the boys’ locker room in October 2014. The incident shocked the local community and has resulted so far with at least four of the five defendants pleading guilty to lesser charges.

The five players, all freshman C-Team players on the JHS football team at the time of the incident, were accused by the King County Prosecutor’s Office of having planned to sodomize the student as part of hazing ritual known as “jubie,” according to court documents.

Carjacking suspect killed Kirkland police shot and killed a 35-year-old man a with a history of violent crime in October after he physically resisted arrest and tried to take one of the officer’s handguns following several failed carjacking attempts.

Robert Burgess, Jr. was a convicted felon for kidnapping, possession of a firearm and assault. Police were initially called to the 11800 block of 115th Ave NE after Burgess walked up to a woman who was sitting in her car and tried to give her his 3-year-old son.

The woman instead called 911 and followed Burgess as he walked away with the child. When police arrived to the scene they attempted to confront Burgess, who handed his son to one of the officers and then fled.

It was then one of the officers reported seeing him with a gun in his hand.

Shortly afterward another 911 call reported a suspect with a gun, matching Burgess’ physical description, had attempted to carjack a delivery van near the 11500 block of NE 118th St. Officers contacted Burgess, who was still armed, just after the carjacking attempt and a physical fight ensued when the officers tried to apprehend him. During the struggle, Burgess was able to gain control of an officer’s handgun and raised it at the

officers, at which point one of the officers fired a shot, killing Burgess.

Tolls placed on two lanes of Interstate 405 Citing a need to meet state and federal requirements, the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) voted to place tolls on Interstate 405’s HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lanes. WSTC also set the toll minimum at 75 cents and the maximum at $10. The toll affects existing carpool lane on I-405 from State Route 522 to Interstate 5, along with two lanes between Northeast 6th Street in Bellevue and SR 522 in Bothell, a total of 17 miles.

The commission justified the toll saying that I-405’s HOV lane is not meeting state and federal requirements for vehicles to be traveling at 45 miles per hour 90 percent of the time.

Instead, vehicles are driving at that speed only 60 percent of the time, despite adding nine transit centers, 5,000 new park and ride parking stalls and 1,700 vanpools since 2002.

Among the more controversial aspects of the tolling were the exemptions for carpools with three or more people, rather than two, during peak hours between 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m.

Potala owner sued by SEC During the summer, the developer of the Potala Village project in the Lakeview neighborhood found himself being investigated by the federal government for allegedly misappropriating millions of dollars from overseas investors.

Lobsang Dargey is currently being sued in federal court by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for allegedly raising more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 investors for Path America and the Potala Place development in Everett. The SEC complaint alleges that Dargey and Path America used the EB-5 system to raise money from Chinese

investors by encouraging them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower, but then misappropriated $17.6 million, $14.7 million involving Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Village Kirkland LLC, which are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program.

Dargey allegedly promised his backers that their investments would make them eligible for U.S. residency but didn’t disclose those investments would not qualify under the EB-5 program if they weren’t used for those dedicated projects, according to the complaint.

Details are provided in the complaint and hundreds of pages of supporting documents. Among other things, they show that each investor who bought a $500,000 partnership interest in either of the two Path America projects also was charged a $45,000 administrative fee.

The investment capital was wired to an escrow account in the United States while the administrative fee was wired to an account in Hong Kong.

The SEC complaint and request froze Dargey’s financial assets and brought new uncertainty over the fate of the Potala Village project.

ARC funding During the November election, Kirkland voters overwhelmingly rejected Proposition No. 1, which would have a metropolitan park district (MPD) to fund the Aquatic and Recreation Center (ARC).

Nearly 65 percent voted “no.”

The proposed MPD was pitched to the community by the city as a flexible and viable way for funding the ARC, as many of the costs are still unknown.

Teacher walkout Kirkland schools closed in May when teachers and faculty in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) participated in a walk-out in protest of the state legislature over basic education spending. The walkout was repeated throughout the state, where other teachers unions have also walked out or voted in favor of a walkout in response to the state legislature’s failure to comply with the Supreme Court’s McCleary decision, in which Justice Debra Stephens ruled that the legislature had failed to fulfill its paramount duty under the constitution to “make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders...”

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 combination of rapid transit and light rail.

Complicating the discussion has been Sound Transit’s easement on the CKC, despite the fact that the city owns the part of the corridor within their jursidiction.

One of the possible projects to be included in Sound Transit’s ballot 2016 measure is BRT on I-405, an idea that has received support from residents, as well as the Houghton Community council. However, city officials stated it might not serve Kirkland’s needs as well

transit on Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) in their ballot measure planned for November 2016. 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.

An open meeting between the city and residents packed the inside of the Kirkland Performance Center in November, where city officials defended their vision for the CKC, which they believe will 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. City officials also stated during the public meeting that 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.

The city’s preferred project would create a two-lane BRT system from Totem Lake to downtown Bellevue, with around 6-8 stations in Kirkland, where electric buses to stop every six and a half minutes. Another potential project would install a light rail system on the corridor, an idea which has drawn the

Then on Oct. 15 near midnight Kirkland Police found the bear 12-15 feet up a maple tree near the Fred Meyer. Arriving with another officer from Fish and Wildlife, Chandler and others were able to retrieve the bear after administering a tranquilizer.

The bear had no eartags to indicate prior captures. As to why the bear was roaming through Kirkland, Chandler said most likely the bear was “opportunistic,” taking advantage of the lack of competition for food.

“One of the reasons they come here is all the other spots are already taken,” he said. “Bears are very territorial.”

KPD Spokesperson Mike Murray said it’s the first bear captured in Kirkland in at least 30 years.

School break food box support vital to many young students

O

nce again, Kirkland has shown its generosity, commitment, and care for our neighbors in need. Nourishing Network held its annual holiday food box event on Dec. 16 to help families with elementary school students who don’t have enough nutritious food to eat over the two-week school break. Hundreds of you made the simple pledge, ”I’ll bring a box.” To you all, we say a well-deserved “thank you.” The impact you have with that simple act is profound to those without sufficient food to eat.

The north and south food drop locations served more than 120 families from 12 Kirkland elementary schools, referred to us by school counselors and teachers. That’s more than 8,000 pounds of food. The standard menu provides not only shelf stable food for pantries, but also lots of fresh produce to help with good nutrition. The generosity didn’t stop with just the menu provided, though.

Boxes sometimes arrived with additional items tucked in. Some highly-valued extras included diapers, wipes and formula, for the elementary school student is often one of several children in the home.

We talked to a number of families struggling with a variety of challenges: loss of a job, serious illness, last minute request to host more foster kids, or newly settling from foreign countries. To them, you have made a key difference. One mom came to pick up her box and said she was so thankful for

the help. She and her son loved the bag of apples (from the Thanksgiving food box) and they spent an afternoon making apple recipes together which they hadn’t done in a long time. There was also a high school boy who walked three miles to come pick up the box for his little sister and family while mom was at work.

You have made real differences in our neighbors’ lives. We are in awe of Kirkland’s generosity. Our special thanks to Kirkland Kiwanis for their donation to supplement the food boxes for each family.

Also to Ford of Kirkland, Jigsaw Junction, city of Kirkland and the many businesses and groups

that put together boxes for this special event. Our personal kudos go to the volunteers who gave their time to help carry and load these 40-pound boxes all day.

We look forward to another successful food box day in February for mid-winter break. We’d love to shake your hand in deep appreciation if you, too, can say, “I’ll bring a box!

Is SEC’s receiver incorrectly using Potala Tower money?

[On Dec. 18,] just as many folks were heading off for a couple weeks of vacation, the news broke.

On Jan. 4, just as folks return to town, there will be a Design Response Conference for Potala Kirkland.

This progress on Potala Village Kirkland likely comes as a great surprise. An additional surprise occurred [on Dec. 18], as Potala Village Kirkland filed papers continuing its legal fight in the Court of Appeals.

Citizens are asking where the money has come from. How are the architects being paid for Design Response Conference materials and preparation?

Similarly, how is the attorney being paid for the Court of Appeals briefs?

The court appointed receiver is Michael Grassmueck. It seems that his team has asked to be able to continue using (and paying) Lobsang Dargey’s attorney for Potala Village Kirkland. This seems so odd since the SEC has alleged that funds previously used for Potala Village Kirkland belonged to EB-5 investors and were for the sole purpose of building Potala Tower. Other EB-5 funds were raised for the Path America project in Everett and similarly some were misused for other unrelated projects.

So, if it were wrong for Lobsang Dargey to use Potala Tower or Potala Farmers Market funds for Kirkland, why is it now OK for the receiver to do the same thing? Is this what is happening? Isn’t this syphoning off funds that should either be returned to the EB-5 investors or left with their projects as they hope to still complete these and get their green card?

Maybe the funds are coming from somewhere else, but it appeared that Wednesday the receiver asked to be able to keep paying the attorney for the Kirkland “Relief Defendant.”

Mark your calendars for Jan. 4, there will likely

be some new faces in front of the city arguing for the enlarged Potala Village building. We will need the tireless red shirt wearing citizens to be in the council chambers and speaking during public comment period.

Replace tolls with gas tax Regarding the toll lane situation on I-405, I would recommend that the Washington State Legislature consider raising the State gas tax 10 cents a gallon as a way to raise transportation revenues to pay for needed improvements in our transportation systems versus the toll approach. With gas now down to under $2.50 a gallon in many areas, now is the time to provide needed revenue to our state to help fix our roads and bridges across our state that need repair or improvement. To encourage carpooling, address peak hour traffic issues, and to help reduce carbon emissions, the Department of Transportation should return the left lane on I-405 for its entire length to HOV-2. The second restricted lane now constructed on the middle portion of I-405 could be exclusively dedicated for buses in peak Monday through Friday commute hours. When and if Sound Transit gains approval to fund bus rapid transit on the I-405 corridor, this peak hour bus lane could also serve the Bus Rapid Transit program.

The tax on gasoline is equitable because the more miles people drive, and the more fuel they consume, the more they contribute to improvements in our transportation system.

Keith Dunbar, Kirkland

City Council should lead our fight against Sound Transit The Sound Transit (ST) ST3 Candidate Projects

are pretty revealing. The list clearly shows that ST has put much more thought into and spent more effort on: 1. A LRT (Light Rail Transit) option from Totem Lake to Issaquah via Bellevue (their long-term choice), and 2. BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) on the CKC-ERC (Eastside Rail Corridor), rather than on three. BRT on I-405 (option E-02c1). In fact, Sound Transit’s E-02c1 option looks like a last-minute addition (a “bone” for Kirkland) and consists only in creating a single BRT Inline Station on Northeast 85th Street, without any parking.

That’s it. It is clearly a ruse and a joke, which demonstrates their priorities and long-term intentions.

Unfortunately, given the other two options, Sound Transit’s E-02c1 option is still the least bad longterm alternative at this time.

ST continues to avoid considering and presenting serious alternatives to LRT and BRT on the ERC. There are alternatives that can achieve both having effective transportation and the best possible future urban environment for the area. For example, a serious medium-term BRT program along all of I-405 should include many BRT stations with park and rides, and with frequent and convenient east and west transportation connection options to key urban areas and employment centers, especially during rush-hour periods. Private and public incentives for minimizing single-occupancy vehicles should also be encouraged by private and public companies. Additionally, ST should consider and encourage other King County Urban Planning departments to improve and expand a network of separate, safe, and quiet route options for nonmotorized transportation on the Eastside.

A serious Long-Term transportation plan should also include an outline for an additional major future north and south transportation corridor from Woodinville to I-90. Without a clearer vision about what we want the whole Eastside to look like in 100-plus years for [ more LETTERS page 8 ]

Kirklander films at Performance Center, enters Samsung contest A Kirkland native recently took advantage of the Kirkland Performance Center’s stage for the set of a short film using a 360-degree camera.

Connor Hair, who currently works at a service production company in Los Angeles, returned to Kirkland late last month to shoot a 60 second film he plans to enter into Samsung’s “There In 60 Seconds” Virtual Reality Film Competition. The competition has filmmakers use a Gear Indie device to create 360-degree virtual reality films, with a $10,000 cash prize for the winner.

Hair’s film, “End Point” tells the story of a ballerina (played by Lindsey Williams) dreaming of landing the part in a ballet she’s applied for.

Although she doesn’t get the part, Hair said, she goes onto the empty ballet stage and performs the dance, trying to envision the audience in front of her. There are no speaking lines in the film.

Hair, a Bellevue High graduate, said that through the editing process they give the film a very dream-like state, aided also by the new camera.

“It is experience-based, putting you in their place,” he said. “It’s almost like a ride, if you think of a ride at Universal Studios.”

It’s not the first VR film he’s shot, having filmed a 12-minute film that he said has received positive feedback, as well as six feature films. He’s also shot projects for Microsoft, VW, Boeing, Delta Airlines, T-Mobile, Wells Fargo and Nintendo.

Although many films

using the VR camera utilize its ability to convey a sense of the viewing experience the film, Hair said he also likes to tell stories.

“People seem to really respond to it,” he said. “We think that could be very powerful in VR. When planning the production, Hair said they looked for local venues to use as a location and were able to get the KPC to lend their stage.

“It’s way easier to film in Seattle than in LA where I live,” he said. “We knew we couldn’t secure a theater down there. I thought that it (KPC) would be a nice little theater we could use.”

The film will be available on GearVr, Google Cardboard and YouTube 360 sometime this month.

Washington State moved up four slots from 2014, ranking as the ninth-healthiest state nationwide, with Hawaii topping the list, and Louisiana coming in last.

Nationwide, adult smoking decreased from 19 to 18.1 percent of the population,

and dropped from 16.1 to 15.3 percent in Washington.

People were more active this year too, with national inactivity rates dropping from 25.3 to 22.6 percent of the population. State figures show a decrease in inactivity from 20 to 18.1 percent with the highest rates of inactivity being in people who didn’t finish high school, seniors

and those earning under $25,000 a year.

Drug related deaths are down in the state from the five-year high of 15.9 deaths per 100,000 in 2012, but still remain at 14.1 deaths per 100,000, higher than the national average of 13.5 deaths per 100,000.

49-28, one of the season’s highlights. Not only did they defeat them on their home turf for the first time since 1976, the win also secured the Kangs’ slot in the playoffs.

The game against Liberty during September was a last-minute comeback, with the Kangs down 17-0 before tying the game and scoring a winning field goal in overtime.

Despite losing to Juanita during their annual rivalry game, 38-28, he thought his team played well. The Kangs have not beat the Rebels since 2006.

“Our kids just played at such a high level and the high atmosphere,” Parnell said.

Parnell said he thinks the award represents what a coach is able to get out of the players in terms of performance and effort. Lake Washington had four players named to five different positions on the All-KingCo Tirst Team: Wide receiver and safety Jake Wikel, tight end Sean Gordon, guard Jared Menssen, linebacker Dylan Bacher; seven players to the second team: center Matt Malloy, tackle Parker Wikel, punter Stossi Tsantilas, defensive tackle Jared Menssen, defensive end Sean Gordon, linebacker Caleb Rickels and cornerback Colby Coco; and Adam Long, D.J. Mann, Will

Pliska and Rudy Wilkes were given an honorable mention.

“A lot of it is reflected on record,” he said. “That’s where it starts. What the coach was able to get out of those athletes. There’s a ton of guys who do a great job at all the difference schools.

It’s easy to go into the room and think we had the ability to win some games this year that were really tight. It’s a product of what we’re doing as a program.”

He added that the way to tell a good coach is by just by watching individual players throughout the season.

“I always look at how a kid plays in all the different scenarios in a game,” he said.

“When they’re facing adversity, when they’re facing success, how do they play? They’re kind of a product of the coaching. Are they sticking together? Are they able to play as a team? Team dynamic is quickest way I look at it.”

And the first way for coaches to get that performance out of players, he said, is by showing they care beyond their play on the field.

“I have the ability to coach them because they trust me.

It’s all about building relationships. It’s all about build-

ing them up. If there’s no relationship built you make your job harder as a coach.

They don’t know how much you know until they know how much you care. They got to know you care about them before you can really start to coach them.”

Juanita Rebels football The Rebels also took home many All KingCo awards, including junior running back Salvon Ahmed who was named offensive player of the year.

Five players were named to six positions for the All KingCo First Team, including quarterback Tavin Montgomery, Ahmed at running back and safety, guard Alex Camilleri, kicker Jackson Clemensen and linebacker Jaspreet Singh. Juanita also had five players on the second team, including wide receiver AJ Peacocke, tight end Nick Rhodes, tackle Cade Totten, linebacker GJ Hurst and safety Makiah Gilmer. Dylan Moctezuma, Tristan Morgan, Anes Mesac and Romey Sassauoung were given honorable mentions by the league’s coaches.

our grandchildren, we won’t be able to preserve what makes this urban area so special today. That is, we will repeat the past errors of the early Seattle settlers and King County officials.

Since the above options are not being considered at this time, ST’s current fixation on Light Rail and BRT transportation along the ERC will continue to degrade the urban environment on the Eastside.

They have put all their energy into discussions and communication tricks to push the public to vote for one of their two chosen projects (LRT or BRT on the ERC), instead of an effective BRT on I-405.

Kirkland is a narrow city that is already cut through the middle by I-405, and should not be cut again to accommodate more north and south through traffic. Our City Council should lead this fight, not undermine it.

OPINION

of her colleagues to the ever-growing ranks of klepto-environmentalist officials?

The story in your paper was correct in that we in Kirkland can’t build enough roads to reduce traffic congestion. This city lies dead-center in the double-H grid of freeways, where I-90, SR-520, and SR-522 form the legs and 1-405 is the cross.

Thirty years ago the pattern was a double-U, but development far to the north and east of Kirkland has changed that.

I-405 will be jammed forever and traffic will divert to Kirkland’s arterials, until another major north-south roadway is built east of Lake Sammamish, transforming I-405 into an “inner beltway.” All the scheming and trying to force lifestyle changes on us won’t improve traffic one bit until the rapidly growing areas of Issaquah, Sammamish, Duvall, Woodinville and points beyond get their own freeway and the [people] at WSDOT stop trying to widen and toll ours.

family in crisis.

She said her family is living proof that charity can make a difference.

“Once people are stable, we focus on helping them gain the skills they need to exit poverty permanently,” said spokesperson Kris Betker. She added that Hopelink offers adult education classes for GED prep and English in the Workplace as well as family development case managers that establish and monitor goals for each member of the family.

Betker said 509 families were helped by Hopelink during the past year.

She proclaimed that 72 percent of the participants who went through the program in 2013 have been able to maintain stable housing.

Hopelink is just one of 275 of non-profit organizations in the Puget Sound region that strive to provide tangible results for each charitable dollar they receive through donations. The Redmondbased program serves more than 65,000 people every year through food banks, energy assistance programs, temporary shelters and transportation.

The winter holidays and

year-end tax deductions have made December the biggest month of the year for individual and corporate giving. Charitable organizations across the country reported an all-time high of $358.38 billion in donations for the year, an increase of more than seven percent compared to the totals for 2013.

Three-fourths of the donations were made by individuals. Religious organizations represented the single largest category of charities receiving tax-exempt dollars, garnishing 32 percent of all contributions ($115 million).

Education was the next largest sector with 15 percent of all donations.

Charities that focused on environmental and animal issues saw an increase of seven percent to $10.5 billion during the last calendar year.

The only area of giving that saw a decrease in 2013 were international causes. The two percent decline may have been the result of fewer natural disasters.

Specific goals United Way of King County has taken a different approach to providing

a safety net for the poor.

Director of Communications Jared Erlandson said the umbrella organization maximizes the impact of each donation by focusing on specific goals.

“We have big ambitions and only a finite number of dollars,” Erlandson said. “In King County, we are committed to reduce homelessness by 50 percent and work toward having 80 percent of children ready to learn when they enter kindergarten.”

According to the spokesman, the strength of the nationwide organization allows United Way to return 80 percent of every donated dollar back to the community in the form of social service programs. Many of the programs operate through endowments from major corporate sponsors. He singled out a program operated with funding from Kodak that has utilized peer counseling to boost the graduation rate in New York City by 40 percent.

“Individual donors in King County can make a contribution earmarked for United Way for a specific concern, whether they want to help Planned Parenthood or a small program that provides transportation for se-

niors,” Erlandson said.

Long term coalition The Seattle Foundation represents a coalition of community organizations and philanthropists who have combined their money and passions to make long-term investments to promote a stronger and more vibrant community.

The Foundation’s director of marketing services, Erica Klinger, explained that the Seattle organization manages more than $800 million in grants to worthwhile groups that share the agency’s vision for King County and the region.

The Foundation has been given responsibility to oversee 10 percent of the $392 million Best Start for Kids Program proposed

by King County Executive Dow Constantine and approved by voters in the November election.

The Seattle Foundation staff vets more than 17,000 non-profit groups based on causes that align with the mission of the organization. It recently launched an educational program designed to educate and inspire future philanthropists.

Judge the impact Jeff Clarke, the CEO of Philanthropy NW, recommends researching a charity before opening your checkbook. He said the cost ratio of expenses is not the best way to judge the impact an organization makes in the community.

Judge the group, he said, based on results.

“Start out by determining what issues you care about, and at what scale— local, statewide, national or global. Then do some research,” said Clarke. “Talk to friends and neighbors who share similar values.

Does the organization tell a clear story about what they do, and what results they are delivering?

“If you have questions, call the organization directly and ask questions.

They should be willing to talk to any prospective donor.”

Clarke stressed that the vast majority of non-profits are run by “smart, hardworking folks who really do care about making sure your support is used well.”

He added that foundations in each community are a great place to connect with high quality non-profits that have already been vetted by the foundation.

LET’S PLAY! Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots.

He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging. This friendly guy would love to meet you!
