A distinctive deep voice, Panama hat, mus-tache and dark

sun glasses. Very few entertainers have as unique and myste-rious of a persona as entertainment legend Leon Red-bone. Th e music icon will bring his one-of-a-kind live performance to the Kirkland Performance Center April 23.

“I dress this way when I walk out on stage to play guitar and when I walk out into the street,” said Redbone about his iconic look. “I dressed this way when I was a child, assuming I was a child.”

Th e eclectic show will also feature comedy queen and famed Seattle burlesque dancer Miss Indigo Blue.

Redbone is a skilled fl amenco guitar

player, banjo player, pianist, whistler and harmonica player. Redbone fuses com-

edy in between a playing style all his own as he plays music that

was written before the 61 year old was born.

“Some may not think it is comedy,” joked Redbone. “I’ll walk on stage, play a few songs and leave. No explosions, you can’t do that sort of thing anymore. Th e

world is turning into a strange place.”Redbone still main-

tains the mystery that dominated his early career in the 1970s. Roll-

ingstone Magazine did a story on the enigma before

his fi rst album, On Th e Track, was even released and he fol-lowed the album with many appearances on “Saturday Night Live.” But SNL gave the

musician another distinction. Because of the frequency that he played

the show, a rumor began that Redbone

Setbacks push Juanita Beach Park re-opening to summerBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

The first day of spring has come and gone and the gates to the south portion of Juanita Bay Park are still locked. Weather-related setbacks have pushed the initial spring open date back.

But residents can still expect to see Juanita Bay Park open by this sum-mer.

“We are hoping it will be partially open for the June 3 annexation event,”

said Michael Cogle, interim deputy director for the City of Kirkland’s Department of Parks and Community Services. “We anticipate that the beach will be re-opened before summer and right now we are projecting that construc-tion will continue through May … expect to see the pace pick up shortly.”

The park has been

closed since last May for major renovation work.

Since the project was a lump-sum bid, the city’s

concerns have little to do with money.

“The issue is less financial and more of a desire for the park to open

so residents can use it,” said

Cogle. “But when it is done I think it will be a nice mix of environ-mental conservation and recreational opportuni-

ties.”Cogle said that he un-

derstands resident’s frus-tration with the project: “It is such a big park that people wonder if anything is going on. The workers just get lost in the size sometimes and they are hard to see. But they are there.”

The construction com-pany has an incentive to finish the project before the end of May when the city can begin imposing monetary penalties.

“It is not like we are constructing a building

Antonio Madana works on the new concrete promenade like the one at Marina Park in downtown Kirkland. The City of Kirkland anticipates that the park will be at least partially open by the June 3 annexation celebration. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter

where you just put the roof on and keep working,” said Cogle. “Th e contrac-tor has been slowed by the weather over the last few weeks and has had to overcome some short-term fi nancial challenges. I think they had hoped to be done much sooner.”

Cogle said a December rainstorm actually dam-aged some of the work be-ing done, setting the con-struction company back.

Th e planting of vegetation has also been set back.

“I think initially, some of the grass and wetland areas might be fenced off ,” said Cogle of when the park re-opens. “Some lawn areas will be protected initially to ensure that they get well-established to handle the foot traffi c and picnic blankets.”

Many of the issues with the park prior to construc-tion had to do with water drainage. Lake Washing-

ton was lowered by nine feet when the Montlake Cut was constructed in 1916. Th e water’s edge used to come in as far as Juanita Village.

Th e project aims to clean up the swimming area by fi ltering storm-drain run-off . Water fowl has also forced closures from the threat of E. coli for decades.

“We have always had poor water quality in the swimming area and we are trying to improve that,” said Cogle.

Environmental enhance-ments also include the ren-ovation of Juanita Creek, creation of new wetlands and quality marshes, for-mation of re-graded lawn areas and irrigation sys-

tems. New walking paths - including an accessible concrete beachfront prom-enade extending the length

of the waterfront - is beginning to take shape. A new parking lot will be con-structed with as-sociated lighting and landscaping.

“When that begins it will probably take less than a week to be installed,” said Cogle.

Other im-provements include a new

open-air amphitheater for small community events, new site furnishings, including benches and pic-nic tables, and extensive new native landscaping.

On the west side of the park will be a nature area with trails, walking paths

and foot bridges over new water areas the crews are creating. Th e park also promises to be more handicap accessible.

But there is one big as-pect that will not change.

“Th e bath house will stay the same,” said Cogle. “Until we have more money we can’t do any-thing to it.”

The renovation project is the city’s initial imple-mentation of the Juanita Beach Master Plan. The plan was formally adopt-ed in 2005 following an extensive public partici-

pation process. The $2.8 million project is funded in part by the 2002 park bond approved by Kirk-land residents. Additional funding is provided from the State of Washington Recreation and Conserva-tion Office ($1 million) and a grant from the King County Flood Control District ($100,000).

Phase two will deal with the north side of the park where a skate park, new parking area and rose garden are to be constructed.

was actually comedian Andy Kaufman.

“I didn’t know anyone on that show and I was the odd man out,” said Redbone. “It was a slightly eccentric and hectic show.”

Redbone continued to support his albums on TV as a regular on the “To-night Show” with Johnny Carson throughout the late 1970s and 80s.

“Television is very dif-fi cult,” said Redbone. “I have a hard time getting comfortable. You’re not in control of anything and it makes it awkward.”

Despite his dislike for live TV, Redbone has also done many commercials, including an iconic Bud-weiser spot. He also wrote the theme song for the TV show “Mr. Belvedere.”

Many may know his voices from the Christmas movie “Elf,” starring Will Ferrell. Redbone lent his distinctive deep voice to the animated frosty the snowman character and sang “Baby it’s Cold Out-side” with actress Zooey Deschanel during the fi nal credits. Redbone also recorded an iconic version of Frosty the Snowman on his 1987 record Christmas Island.

Redbone recently was invited and played the wedding of comedian

Adam Sandler and Jackie Titone and appeared on the “Bug Beard” episode of the PBS children’s show “Between the Lions.” His eclectic mix of musical appearances also includes the song “When You Wish Upon A Star,” for the 2010

movie “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.”

Beyond TV and movies, Redbone has released 15 solo records, his last came out in 2005.

“I keep thinking about it,” Redbone said about going back into the studio,

“but then the thought goes away.”

He said that he is infl uenced musically by everything he hears and reveres the great fl amenco guitar players.

“Music is one of those things that if you stick with it long enough you can cre-ate an expression of your own,” said Redbone. “But you really have to play to satisfy yourself.”

Redbone spends most of this time playing live shows, which are a throw-back to the days of the Vaudeville era.

“Th ere is something about songs from that era that resonate with me,” said Redbone. “... Th ings are changing so rapidly. I fl y occasionally but it is getting so diffi cult. It is getting to the point where you are go-

ing to have to get a license to travel from state to state.”

Redbone’s travels have taken the Toronto native around the world, but whether he has played Kirkland before he can’t be sure: “It does ring a bell. But then again the bells don’t ring as clearly as they used to.”

Bias media coverageDemocrats watch MSNBC, NBC, etc.

and for the most part detest talk radio. Republicans like (or love) talk radio and watch Fox news. Much of what passes for news these days, particularly on the cable channels, is presented with that channel’s bias viewpoint. A news story deemed important on a given news channel may not run at all on a news channel with a diff erent political leaning. Th e American press, “watchdog of government,” I don’t think so!

Th e problem as I see it, is that many of us watch, listen to or read only what we agree with, which drives us to become more extreme and completely unable to see the other side. In some cases, people refuse to debate an issue because their minds are al-ready made up. Oft en, these people would rather conduct a lecture than argue a point. In my opinion, we should be willing to look at issues from both sides, then form our opinions based on the facts. If we are atten-tive only to what we like to hear and see, we don’t have to learn or know anything; we can just parrot our favorite bias news. Don McConaghy, Kirkland

Uncertainty looms amongst youth and parents at the

Kirkland Teen Union Building.

Two weeks ago, the Bellevue YMCA laid off the entire

staff , which took eff ect April 2. The YMCA, which has operated

the city-owned KTUB since last July, cited the move was an

eff ort to reorganize the staffi ng structure at the teen center.

KTUB doors are closed this week and have left youth won-

dering what will become of the teen center’s future.

During the Kirkland Council meeting on Tuesday, many

youth and parents came to show their support for KTUB staff

and to express their outrage and disappointment about the

decision.

In a simple but powerful gesture, one young lady handed

out some fl owers to each of the council members.

“I brought you fl owers because I wanted to give you some-

thing beautiful,” she told the council, explaining how KTUB staff

has contributed to her individual growth. “KTUB has something

special … They have staff that doesn’t just say they work for

me, but they work with me. And they have all given me very

beautiful gifts.”

Many applauded her comments.

Others asked the council to suspend the lay-off s and

questioned the YMCA’s new staff model. New staff will be con-

sidered “generalists,” according to Joan Steberl, senior director

for Eastside operations of the YMCA. However, many youth feel

a program specialist with specialized experience, under the old

model, would better serve their needs.

We believe the Bellevue YMCA should have consulted with

youth before they made the decision to lay off KTUB staff .

Because youth were not consulted, the layoff s and subsequent

temporary closure of KTUB seemed abrupt. It’s no wonder many

youth feel alienated from their “second home” at KTUB and feel

left out of the decision-making process.

KTUB is a teen-driven, teen-inspired facility and as such any

decisions involving the center should involve teen input.

YMCA Executive Director Keri Stout said the reorganization

eff orts are intended to “ensure the continued viability, growth

and community impact at KTUB.”

“It saddens us that there are youth that are questioning our

commitment to them,” Stout said during the council meeting

Tuesday. “Staffi ng changes were driven by our dedication to

creating only the best environment for them, and we’re sorry

that those changes have been perceived otherwise.”

We believe that the Bellevue YMCA is deeply committed to

the well-being of Eastside youth. However, we question the

YMCA’s abstract answers. How will these new changes create a

better environment for youth? How will these changes ensure

KTUB’s continued viability?

During Tuesday’s meeting, Sara Biancofi ore, Eastside

regional youth director for the YMCA, said the organization

has a long history of seeking and incorporating youth’s voices

into programming and activities. To that end, she said, the

YMCA surveyed KTUB youth in March and asked for their input.

Several youth told the Reporter last week that based on that

survey, the two most important areas to KTUB teens are staff

and programs. But the YMCA laid off the entire KTUB staff and

therefore did not listen to youth.

Whatever the staff model and programming at KTUB

becomes, we hope the YMCA consults with youth moving

forward. The YMCA should involve youth with the hiring process

and any program changes and honor KTUB’s history of youth

involvement.

The disaster in Japan is so disheartening. Th e Japanese are probably the kindest,

most polite people on earth, and Japan is one of the wealthiest na-tions in the world and probably the most prepared, yet this earthquake-tsunami-nuclear meltdown is bringing it to its knees.

Th is tragedy inevitably makes one think about the U.S. nuclear industry. Nuclear power plants are in 32 states. Washing-ton State has some as well as the Trident nuclear submarine base on the Olympic Peninsula at Bangor. Are we safe? And what’s a proper energy policy for America, espe-cially regarding nuclear power?

Well, for starters, “energy” is not in the U.S. Constitution. So there really shouldn’t be any “energy

policy” just like we don’t have a federal “grocery policy.” Let the market decide.

Ideally, the market should decide which energy type is used, whether oil, natural gas, nuclear,

coal, water, wind, solar, etc. So the best energy policy is really no policy at all. But before we get to that, we must make the energy industry a free market, which it is not right now.

Remember, where there are subsidies or unequal tax breaks, there is no longer a free market. Th is is what we have now. So the oil and nuclear power industries, for example, should not get subsidies or tax favors. And with nuclear power, there should be no limited liability laws, which shield the nuclear industry from

liability for environmental damage they cause. So there should be no subsidies, no tax breaks and no limits to liability or other corpo-rate welfare for any form of energy. Th en we’d have a proper free market in energy.

With nuclear power, this is not what we have now. In the U.S., we have a federal law, fi rst passed in 1957, called the Price-Anderson Act. It was last approved and renewed by Congress in 2005. It artifi cially limits the legal liability of nuclear power companies for an accident through the year 2025; it is meant to encourage nuclear power. But this limit on liability acts as a subsidy, and could lead to environmental disaster.

Some nuclear proponents might say, “well, without limited liability, we couldn’t have nuclear power.” Good, that’s the way it should be. If private insurance companies won’t insure your business such that it can remain profi table, then you shouldn’t operate that busi-ness.

That’s how a free market is supposed to work. If you can’t pay the costs that your operation imposes on the rest of us (pollution or radiation), and/or can’t get private insurance to insure you for it, then you shouldn’t operate that energy business.

The Price-Anderson Act distorts (an important word economists use) the market by making it so that more nuclear power plants are built than the true free market would allow. This is because since nuclear companies are being artificially shielded from liability, they’ll take more and more risks and build in unsafe areas, because they will be bailed out by the feds if there’s an accident causing death and damage above $12.6 billion. Privatized profit, but socialized loss; this is not a free market. If you didn’t like the bank bailout, you shouldn’t like this, much more subtle, nuclear bailout.

So nuclear power should be allowed to be produced by the private sector, but with no socialized shields of limited liability. Same for other forms of energy. Level the playing field, end subsidies and corporate favors, and let the mar-ket decide. That should be America’s energy policy.

Healthy landscapes make clean, healthy water We all want beautiful landscapes with no weeds or pests, but we have to consider that many chemicals used in our landscape are unhealthy for people and pets; are toxic to wildlife, fish and beneficial insects; are damaging to the environment and end up polluting our lakes and streams. Studies conducted by the US Geological Survey found 39 lawn and garden pesticides in King County streams. Studies also show that pesticides applied to the lawn can be tracked into the home and have been found in carpet dust, window sills and other surfaces. Spring is here and it’s the perfect time to get our yards off to a great start. Consider doing some of the following in your landscape to keep it healthy:

go to seed. Spring rains can wash pesticides into streams and lakes where they can harm salmon and other wildlife.

tralize pH, compost also adds nutrients so you don’t need to apply fertilizer.

germination and makes it easier to pull the weeds that do grow. Another great benefit of mulch is that as it breaks down over time it adds needed nutrients to your soil.

Natural yard care minimizes the use of pesticides keeping our homes and landscapes healthy which also maintains a healthy water supply!

King County Fire District 41 Commissioners have begun setting up a structure to extend the public process and still preserve the option of a new fire station for Finn Hill residents.

The action is in response to requests for a more thorough public process that would extend beyond the June 1 annexation of the area by the City of Kirkland and the fire district being dissolved. The commissioners are negotiat-ing an interlocal agreement with Kirkland that ensures the change in governance will not harm the ability of cur-rent Fire District 41 property owners to build a new station.

A new strategically located fire station is needed to provide timely fire and emergency medical response times to the largest possible area of Finn Hill. The current two-station configuration is too costly and neither station is well located to serve the entire area.

Because of reductions in tax revenues, Station 24 is no longer staffed during the

day by career firefighters and is only staffed at night by volunteers for emergency medical responses. Station 25 was built almost 50 years ago, when the area was mostly rural, and is too far south for its crews to meet the goals for timely responses.

Fire District commission-ers are following through on the financing for the pro-posed station. The district has set aside reserves and plans to use proceeds from the sale of the two existing stations to

help pay for the new station. However, debt will need to be issued to finance construc-tion. As a result, a small, time-limited levy on properties in the current fire district will continue in order to build the new station. The levy would end when the debt is paid off. While the levy for the new fire station would continue after annexation, total prop-erty taxes will decrease as a result of annexation.

Commissioners are con-tinuing to review potential

properties in the area where a fire station would best improve response to fires and medical emergencies like heart attacks. A 1.8 acre parcel in King County’s Big Finn Hill Park at 138th N.E. and Juanita Drive is currently under consideration. The fire district has a draft agreement

with King County Parks for the site in return for park amenities.

Preliminary review shows the park site will accommo-date a one-story station and cost an estimated $1 million less than a site at Finn Hill Ju-nior High School that is also being considered. Construc-tion costs at the junior high site were estimated at $4.5 million and wetlands and

steep slopes would require a two-story station.

A one-story fire station is preferred because it allows firefighters to reach their trucks faster, and they suffer fewer injuries than in two-story fire stations.

Other potential sites will also be considered, includ-ing some that were excluded due to cost prior to the recent decline in land prices.

Public process extended for proposed Finn Hill fire station

Contractors are assess-ing damages after a burst water pipe inside the new Lake Washington High School building leaked water for at least two days on the weekend of March 19-20.

Kathryn Reith, communications director for the Lake Washington School District, said contractors discovered the leakage the following Monday, March 21.

“A pipe leading to an

eyewash station burst, leading to the water leak-age,” said Reith, noting the incident happened in a science room. “The con-tractor has been working to remedy any problems.”

She said the extent of dam-ages is currently unknown.

Kirkland resi-dent Jeff Ridley noticed “water running out of a second floor window” at the

school on March 19.

“I tried calling the contractor, but nobody was on-call for emergency situations,” said Ridley. “Sunday, the water was still running out the window and the windows were wet on the inside. Monday, I noticed an army of vehicles on-site working on a water-dam-age situation.”

He added a 24-hour emergency contact posted at the job site may have saved crews “a fair amount of damage.”

Pirates may not be known for their physical prowess,

but would-be scalawags can prove the stereotype wrong this weekend in the Captain Jack’s 8k.

The race, in its first year, benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. While the theme is pirates, coor-dinator Lancer Carter said he doesn’t expect many people to be dressed up.

“We’ll have a best dressed award,” he said. “It certainly won’t be ev-erybody who dresses up.”

Then why the theme?

Carter said he feels that people register for a race sometimes based on the T-shirt that comes with it and felt the pirate design was catchy enough to grab attention. Apparently it has, as over 500 people

have registered online. Carter said only on-line registrations will be taken, until April 9, because day-of registration

is the main cause for races starting late.“We want to be on

time,” he said.The race starts at 8:30

a.m., but athletes can check in from 6:30 to 8:15 a.m. across from Juanita Beach Park. An awards ceremony will follow the

race. The course loops from 124th Street, to 120th Ave., down Forbes Creek Drive and back into the park.

“I think it’ll be a run event and hopefully it’ll be nice weather,” said Carter.

The overall men’s and women’s winners will get prizes, and racers can enter in a raffle for other prizes. The top male and female finishers will get gift certificates for cup-cakes from The Radical Cupcake.

To register, go to www.bto-multisports.com and visit the Captain Jack’s 8k page, or call Carter at Everyday Athlete at 425-821-4301.

Kirkland dentist to offer free oral cancer screenings

Oral Cancer affects thousands of Washington residents a year and is commonly not detected in its first stages. On average, only half of those diagnosed

with the disease will survive more than five years. As a result, April has been named Oral Cancer Aware-ness Month.

Quality Dental Plan’s Dr. Lindsay Barry has part-nered with The Oral Cancer Foundation to help create awareness in the Kirkland community. Barry General Dentistry will offer free oral cancer screenings from April 11- 15.

For more information, call 425-821-9833.

Preschoolers invited to box car drive-in movie

The Kirkland Parks and Community Services De-partment and Ford Hyundai of Kirkland have partnered to sponsor a unique event for preschoolers – a Box Car Drive-In Movie – to be held from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, April 16 at the North Kirk-land Community Center, 12421-103 Ave. N.E.

Preschoolers age 5 and under are to bring a box (no bigger than two inches by two inches) and with their imagination, the help of their parent, and a selection of supplies provided by the center, will turn their box into the car of their dreams. KACHOW!

After a visit to the conces-sion stand for refreshments, they will settle into their “box car” and enjoy the Dis-ney movie “CARS.” Parents are encouraged to bring a low back beach chair for their comfort.

Tickets are $21 per child resident rate, and $25 for non-residents. There are only a limited number of tickets available so sign up now to save a spot, this event is going to be a sell-out! For registration and information go to www.kirklandparks.net, call 425-587-3350, or visit the North Kirkland Community Center.

Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution: Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone.

The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card.

The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper.

This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method.

To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips:

from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.

and expiration of your credit card.

If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call.

If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately

question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation.

Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.

If you are a victim of this scam please contact this office (800-388-2527), your local police department, or the consumer fraud division of the

Washington Attorney General’s office.
