Kirkland Reporter

Just behind Hector’s, the popular restaurant on South Lake Street

in downtown Kirkland, dumpsters stood packed to the brim Monday morning. Recyclable cardboard � lled the crevices in between and behind the green cast-iron bins as the strike by Waste Management truck drivers continued into its sixth day. � at strike has now sur-passed a week.

Substitute drivers were brought in this week to help combat the food and yard waste, garbage and recycla-bles that have accumulated. Waste Management plans to hire permanent replacement drivers, which the union says

Democrats Darcy Burner, Suzan DelBene, Steve Hobbs, Darshan Rauniyar and Laura Ruderman and Republican John Koster participated in the debate, which was presented by Seattle City Club and Mi-croso� . � e race’s seventh candidate is Independent and Redmond resident Larry Ishmael, who did not attend the debate.

� e debate was moderat-ed by Joni Balter, an edito-rial writer from the Seattle Times, who questioned the candidates on various top-ics including the issue they are most concerned about and would want to address if elected.

National Night Out brings neighbors, police togetherBY MATT PHELPS

Police o� cers cannot be everywhere. One of the biggest weapons that law enforcement has in the community is an active citizenry. � at is the main reason behind the 29th annual National Night Out events that will take place on Aug. 7 in Kirkland and around the country.

“� e event is to make an impression on criminals as far as neighborhoods taking a stand against crime,” said Kirkland Neighborhood Resource O� cer Audra Weber.

National Night Out is a nationwide campaign aimed at involving com-munities in crime and drug prevention awareness.

Activities that neighbor-hoods may want to

host include cookouts, � ashlight walks or contests. Weber said that the events work as an

opportunity for neighbors to

get to know each other.

of her family.“� at’s what everyone

wants and that’s what ev-eryone’s struggling for right now,” she said. “And I’m not sure if I were growing up now I could tell that same story.”

Hobbs said he wants to bring civility back into poli-tics because the country and Congress are broken.

“Everyone’s trying to one-up one another,” he said. “We’re in a crisis where we need to have someone who can bring people together … I’ve done it in Olympia, where I brought Republicans and Democrats together to create a bipartisan budget that protects the most vul-nerable, protects education.

I want to bring that to the other Washington.”

Koster, the lone Repub-lican in the debate and the race, said he believes the solutions to the nation’s issues are found in people, not in bigger government programs.

“(If) we set free the cre-ative juices of the American people and allow them to innovate and allow them to create and allow them to go out and create businesses and provide goods and ser-vices for their fellow man, then it’ll create opportuni-ties and jobs for people,” he said.

Rauniyar said he is dif-ferent and Washington D.C. needs a new kind of leadership. He said as an

immigrant, he has been able to live the American dream, but that dream is fading away for many hardworking families because Congress has failed.

“We, as citizens, really need to stand up and say, ‘Enough is enough,’” he said. “We cannot continue to elect the same politicians again and again and expect a di� erent result.”

Ruderman stressed the importance of rebuilding the economy and said she would like her role in that to be continuing to focus on ex-panding access to a� ordable, high-quality health care. She said the A� ordable Care Act was a good start, but they need to build on that.

“Lack of access to health

insurance is driving middle class families into bankrupt-cy,” Ruderman said. “And that is just wrong.”

� e debate also had a lightning round during which Balter asked yes or no questions about whether they support certain issues including same-sex mar-riage, legalizing marijuana, the Dream Act and in-creasing the age for Social Security. Candidates also had the option to “wa� e” if they weren’t sure where they stood on an issue.

During this round, party lines were drawn as Koster was o� en the odd man out, holding up opposite response cards from his Democratic opponents.

A Kirkland couple were both arrested

following a domestic dispute that left the man in the hospital with a stab wound early Saturday morning.

The 22-year-old Kingsgate woman alleged that her boyfriend choked her during an argu-ment and officers observed injuries to the woman consistent with her story.

The woman then stabbed her 28-year-old boyfriend in the back “out of fear for her safety,” said Kirk-land Police Lt. John Haslip in a release.

Police responded to the stabbing report at 4:29 a.m., finding the injured man uncoop-erative in the 12300 block of N.E. 150th Court near the Kirk-

land border with Woodinville in the Kingsgate neighborhood.

He was even-tually trans-

ported to the hospital for treat-

ment of the non life-threatening wound.

The man was ar-rested for domestic violence/second-degree assault and an outstanding Felony warrant of the State Dept. of Corrections.

The woman was also arrested on an outstanding felony harassment warrant.

Two Great Organizations Dedicated to Helping Kids

In a perfect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But fortunately, many of those young people who have health issues have two premiere northwest institutions to turn to for some of the best pediatric care in the country. They are Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon. QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our chari-ties of the month for Au-gust. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to advance new treatments.

Children’s Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless of race, religion, gender or a family’s ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million in un-compensated care in 2011. It has consistently been ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pedi-atric and adolescent refer-ral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Children’s

consists of three organiza-tions, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Children’s Hospital pro-vides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, reha-bilitative, behavioral, emer-gency and outreach ser-vices. It has 254 beds and a staff of over 1,200 profes-sionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000 patient visits, including visits to off-site clinics. Seattle Children’s Research Institute has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds of diseases and disorders in fields such as cancer, genetics, immunol-ogy, pathology, infectious disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Can-cer Research Center.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland and is now affiliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in several communities

around the state of Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington. Like Chil-dren’s Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is quickly translated into new treat-ments. Specific areas of research include cardiology,

neurology, weight regula-tion, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.

Both Children’s Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital believe that children should have compassionate, family-cen-tered care. Both are at the

forefront of pediatric medi-cal research so that they can advance new treatments in their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the

said his dumpsters got too full over the weekend and it was “pretty bad.” He explained that his garbage and waste were taken care of Monday, but over the weekend people from the condos behind his restaurant complained about the lack of garbage control.

“Our recycle bin is still overflowing,” said Johnson on Monday.

Some retail property man-agement officials in Kirkland said people from nearby apartments are dumping their personal trash in retail business dumpsters during regular business hours. Most residents don’t want to spend the $20 minimum for gar-bage - and more for recycling and yard waste - disposal at the transfer station.

“Our own staff is now monitoring the garbage,” said the Hector’s property management.

Waste Management recycling and yard waste truck drivers in King and Snohomish counties went on strike July 25 following failed contract negotiations. Service was disrupted to ap-proximately 20,000 Kirkland residents.

The city contracts with Waste Management for residential, multi-family and commercial garbage, recy-cling and organics collection services.

Kirkland Solid Waste Pro-grams manager John MacGil-livray said the city delayed fines for the first week so that Waste Management had time to restore services.

“If the City elects to assess performance fees, then they would be assessed after the fact, after we confirm what services were and were not provided,” said MacGillivray.

Waste Management could face up $500 in fines for each block that remains unat-tended per day.

At issue are the 153 recycle and yard waste drivers employed by Waste Management, who have been work-ing without a contract since May 31, accord-ing to Local 117. The drivers unanimously voted on June 2 to authorize a strike after they said the company committed a series of labor law violations.

Teamsters’ Local Union 117, whose membership includes recycling and yard waste truck drivers for Waste Management, Inc., accused the company of several federal labor law violations, including bad-faith bargain-ing, coercing and direct dealing with its employees and threatening to retaliate against workers. According to the union, The National Labor Relations Board is currently investigating those violations.

Teamsters’ Local Union 174, whose membership in-cludes garbage truck drivers, are honoring the Local 117 picket lines.

“Waste Management has forced this labor dispute through its blatant disregard of U.S. law,” said Local 117 secretary-treasurer Tracey A. Thompson, in a statement. “Now they are on the verge of provoking a public health cri-sis. Waste Management needs to realize that this commu-nity will not sit idly by while

they put our families at risk. We call on Waste Management to re-turn to the bargain-ing table immedi-ately and bargain a

fair contract in good faith that recognizes the

health and safety hazards its drivers face on the job.”

Waste Management spokeswoman Robin Freed-man said Wednesday the company is “extremely disap-pointed that union leaders decided to take this unneces-sary step.”

She added after more than six months of contract negotiations, the company put forth 16 comprehensive proposals that were “very generous.”

Freedman denied that Waste Management had vio-lated any federal labor laws.

“That’s a typical union tactic during labor nego-tiations to claim there were

unfair labor practices,” said Freedman. “We are extremely confident the National Labor Relations Board will find (their accusations) without merit.”

Waste Management de-livered its final contract of-fer to the union on June 6, which proposed wage and benefit increases averaging more than 4 percent per year. Mediation between the union and company ended on June 14, after the parties failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the contract that expired on May 31.

In total, recycling and yard waste drivers service 220,000 customers in the Puget Sound region.

“I hope it gets done with soon,” said Plumb.

Customers who do not receive service are encour-aged to remove their gar-bage, recycling, and yard waste carts from the street. Waste Management said that double load of garbage and recyclables will be collected at no additional cost on the next regularly scheduled service day. But when that service day comes is anyone’s guess.

City solid waste cus-tomers are encouraged to stay informed by visiting the WMI website at www.wmnorthwest.com/service-delays.

‘Pornographic ’ book being sold at Costco

It has come to my attention that Costco is selling the book se-ries “50 Shades of Gray”. I’m not sure of the spelling of this “book” but as I understand it, this book borders on pornographic. I can-not believe that a store as good as Costco would sell a book this terrible. No, I have not read it.Bonnie Baker, Kirkland

Negative campaigns must stop

As we receive our voter’s pam-phlets and ballots, I’ve noticed an increase in negative campaign-ing against candidates for state office. For instance, in the race for state senate (District 1) the NSEA’s union president is again making false and misleading accusations against Northshore School Director Dawn McCravey, who is challenging the incum-bent Rosemary McAuliffe. He attempts to obfuscate her strong leadership and dedication to our children’s education with state-ments that she is an “outlier” and takes a “My Way or the Highway” attitude (MLTnews.com). How-ever, this is a desperate attempt to, once again, try and manipu-late the voters from making well

informed, independent decisions about the best, most qualified candidate to vote for. He also used this failed strategy during McCravey’s previous campaign for re-election to the Northshore School Board.

So, let’s put aside all the negativity and look at what we need from a State Senator. Both the leading candidates, Dawn McCravey and Rosemary McAuliffe, are hard working and dedicated to public service. Both their strengths are in education. This is not an insignificant issue because educational needs and priorities take up about half of our state’s budget. And, at the school district level the fiscal needs run to the hundreds of millions of dollars. Therefore, we need a senator that understands and puts in place educational policies that are effective. In other words, have our children’s lives and educa-tion been improved by their terms in office? Do we have well qualified and adequate staff and teachers? Have the candidates demonstrated fiscal responsibil-ity? One ongoing, highly debated, and extremely costly issue in education has been high stakes testing – McAuliffe, as the Chair of t he Senate Education Com-mittee, supports and funded high stakes testing for the past

decade, Dawn McCravey opposes it as a measure of student ability. More recently, there’s debate over the inclusion of charter schools as alternatives to regular pub-lic schools – Dawn McCravey supports charter schools as an option for students, McAuliffe does not support this option. As voters, these are some of the is-sues in education that we need to consider when making our senate selection.

Additionally, and just as im-portantly, District 1 constituents

need to consider how our senator will help improve our quality of life. Are we happy with our current economic situation – do

we see more economic opportunities for ourselves

and our children, or have our opportunities dwindled? Is the state mindful of maintaining our natural resources, support-ing our parks, and ensuring our waterways, air and soil stay unpolluted? These are a few of the issues we need to ask ourselves when deciding which candidate can we depend on to work towards the best interests of all of us.

As you can appreciate, se-lecting our district senator is a big responsibility. Therefore, I encourage everyone to care-fully research the candidates, ask questions and seek answers,

and make the best decision that you can make. We need to be in control of the future of our state and our lives, and we should not allow ourselves to be manipu-lated by individuals and groups broadcasting false and mislead-ing information.

Support Habib for State Representative

As a 35-plus year resident of Kirkland and local REALTOR®, I strongly support Cyrus Habib for State Representative in the 48th District. I have known Cyrus and his family for many years and find him bright, perceptive and ready to work with all legislators to get the work done in Olympia. He will champion our quality of life, strong schools and common sense in government. I urge my fellow citizens to support Cyrus in the 48th. Wolf Puls, Kirkland

The pages of the Reporter are filled with the changes in the Kirkland commu-nity. Residents have become like fam-

ily to many of us at the paper, letting us into your homes and sharing your stories with us. We have recently experienced some life-changing events of our own that we would like to share with the community.

Kirkland Reporter editor Carrie (Wood) Rodriguez gave birth to Mercedes Cecelia Rose Rodriguez at 8:59 p.m. on Saturday. Carrie, and her husband Miguel, welcomed the 8-pound, 2-ounce bundle of joy four days early. Both Carrie and Mercedes are happy, healthy and home today. Carrie and Miguel married during the spring of 2011 and have three kids from prior marriages. Carrie plans to officially change her last name to Rodriguez professionally when she returns from maternity leave in October.

Reporter Matt Phelps has been selected as interim editor for the Reporter while Carrie spends some quality time with Mercedes.

Matt has worked for Sound Publishing and the Reporter newspapers since 2000 as a reporter and sports editor. He has also been acting editor both on Mercer Island and in Kirkland for short periods of time.

Matt will also take a few weeks off this month, as his wife Brenda is nine-months pregnant with the couple’s second son, Byrun. The newest addition to the Reporter

family is due on Aug. 22 and will be born at Evergreen Hospital.

The newspaper would also like to welcome a new reporter to the staff while Carrie is on maternity leave. Raechel Dawson is a recent University of Washington graduate but she has experience reporting on major issues for Kirkland residents. She was a legislative correspondent through UW News Lab for Sound Publishing and the Kirkland Reporter during the last legislative session in Olym-pia. Dawson, who grew up in Renton, is

passionate about community journalism and dedicated to maintaining the Reporter’s repu-tation for accurate, unbiased and in-depth news coverage.

While these changes are life altering and joyous for our news room, we remain dedi-cated to bringing the Kirkland community up-to-the-minnute news coverage.

We also look forward to telling more of your stories in the pages of the Kirkland Reporter in print and online.

CRIME ALERTThis week’s…

Police Blotter

[ LETTERS from page 4]State has fallen to 45th in the nation in terms of education funding. Class sizes have increased, leaving our classrooms among the most crowded in the nation.

Our state legislature wasted over a bil-lion dollars on a failed experiment called the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). School districts were burdened with hav-ing to purchase expensive curriculum designed to “teach to the test”. These curricula left many of our students ill prepared for the rigors of college.

Several years ago I had an opportunity to meet with Rosemary McAu-liffe. We discussed the WASL and its negative impact on the children of Washington State. She agreed that the WASL was a flawed test that was not meeting the needs of our students. When asked if she would sponsor or support a bill to remove the WASL, she adamantly refused to do so, stating that, as a democrat, she did not want to put such a bill before the Gover-nor, knowing that the Governor would veto it. She said that she wouldn’t want to put a fellow dem-ocrat in such a position. It was clear to me that her party politics and friend-ship with the Governor was clearly more impor-tant to McAuliffe than the children of Washing-ton State.

Despite McAuliffe’s opposition, the WASL was eventually removed as an assessment tool. Although it was too late for many of our children: the damage had already been done.

McAuliffe has repeat-edly blocked efforts to improve education for our children. Her refusal to even allow key pieces of education reform to even be heard in Olympia is part of the reason the Seattle Times has refused to endorse McAuliffe, stating that as education committee chair McAu-liffe “resisted and stymied key reforms” and that she failed to provide the leadership necessary to affect positive change in Olympia.

Washington does not need 4 more years of wasted money and wasted time. Our children deserve better. Dawn Mc-Cravey is willing to listen to parents and educators. She has proven during her time on the North-

shore School Board that she is willing to make the difficult choices, putting the needs of the students above all else.

Dawn McCravey has often been the sole voice on the Northshore School Board, voting against cut-ting school nurses, stand-ing firmly and consistent-ly against school closure. Kraig Peck WEA/NESPA Staff person stated that “Dawn McCravey showed her thoughtful indepen-dence, and voted against the cuts. She deserves the heartfelt thanks of every member of Northshore’s community.”

Dawn McCravey is the strong, thoughtful and independent voice that Olympia so desperately needs. That is why I sup-port Dawn McCravey for State Senate.Berta Phillips, Kirkland

V O T E 2 0 1 2 • E A S T S I D E P O L I T I C S

BY SAMANTHA PAK

[email protected]

Cyrus Habib was 8 years old when he � rst learned to advocate for himself.

A second round of retino-blastoma, a rare type of eye cancer, had just taken the last of his eyesight and his free-dom at recess. He was forced to play close to the school playground monitors because o� cials at Stevenson Elemen-tary School in Bellevue didn’t want him to get hurt.

“� is was hugely demoral-izing to me,” said Habib, who now lives in Kirkland.

His mother, a lawyer, stood up for him.

She signed a liability waiver, absolving the school from responsibility if Habib

was injured, and brought him to the playground on week-ends so he could learn his way around the equipment without his eyesight.

Now 30, Habib is the Democratic candidate run-ning to replace retiring Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland, for the 48th Legislative District, Pos. 2. He wants to � ght for others as his mother did for him.

Education and transportation

Habib, a Bellevue attorney whose opponent is Redmond City Council member and Republican Hank Myers, said that, if elected, the biggest battle he wants to � ght is for higher standards in public

schools. A product of the Bellevue School District and member of the second gradu-ating class of the Interna-tional School, he said it is an important investment for society as a quality education leads to a trained workforce.

Habib also wants to work to improve a� ordability and accessibility in higher education. As a board member for Bellevue College, he said he is worried about the cost of commu-nity college being shi� ed to students — especially since many are putting themselves through school.

Habib � led to run for of-� ce in February when Eddy announced her retirement.

He said since then he has knocked on more than 7,000 doors in the district, adding that it is important to meet voters and learn what issues

they are concerned about.

Like him, he said many of the people he spoke with were concerned about Washington’s educa-tion system.

Habib said he also wants to address

transportation, including the congestion on Interstate 405. He said it is important to invest in projects and services such as link light rail and RapidRide because they are vital to the state’s 21st century transportation grid.

Political experienceHabib has worked as an

intern for U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and, while study-ing at Columbia University in New York, he interned for U.S. Sen. Hilary Clinton. His � rst day with Clinton’s o� ce was three days a� er the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Habib, an Iranian Ameri-can, said this was a very intense time to work for a U.S. senator.

“I spent most of that time helping businesses and indi-viduals relocate (from lower Manhattan to other areas of New York),” he said, adding that this experience gave him insight into how public of-� cials can help the public.

Habib also has been part of a movement to make U.S. currency accessible to the blind and testi� ed before Congress on the issue. He said other countries’ cur-rencies can be di� erenti-ated tactilely — whether by di� erent-sized bills, with Braille or other methods. Habib noted that 70 percent of the country’s working-age blind population is unem-ployed and part of this is due to the fact that many entry-level jobs require the ability to di� erentiate among bills.

For Habib, this experience showed him there are pockets of injustice in areas that o� en go unnoticed, but still a� ect a lot of people.

“I believe my perspective will be new to Olympia,” he said.

Habib says he is an education, transportation advocate

Hank Myers is getting quite a workout these days as he advocates for improving education and government e� ciency in his bid for state o� ce.

Myers, a Republican who is serving his second term on the Redmond City Council, has spent his a� ernoons and evenings riding his bike from door to door, campaigning for Pos. 2 of the 48th Legisla-tive District, which in-cludes parts of Redmond. He has pedaled his way throughout the district — where he has lived for the

last 37 years — talking to constituents, stressing the importance of education and budgeting reform for state government.

Myers, who describes himself as a � scally con-servative, socially mod-erate politician, said his top priority is improving public education. A big issue Myers has heard dur-ing his bicycle doorbelling is that many parents have enrolled their children in private schools because of the lack of classroom funding in public schools. He said lawmakers need to cut back on school ad-ministration costs, which account for more than 40

percent of the state educa-tion budget.

“We need to put that money toward classrooms and teachers,” said Myers, a retired transportation consultant and for-mer Coast Guard air rescue crew-man who hopes to replace retiring Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland.

Myers, who � led for election May 18, is running against Democratic candidate Cyrus Habib, a Bellevue attorney. Both candidates are seeking their � rst seat in state o� ce.

Education and budgeting

In addition to enrolling their children in private schools, Myers said many parents tell him they are using tutorial services like Dartmoor and Kumon

because of the lack of funding in the public school sector.

“Education fund-ing is inadequate,” he said. “More and more people are taking their kids to private schools. I think it’s absolutely

a shame. First of all because it’s an admission that our schools are not doing the job.”

If elected, Myers said

he will work to put more money into the classrooms and help ful� ll the state’s constitutional obligation to provide � nancial support for schools.

Myers, who has served on the curriculum development committee and the gi� ed education committee of the Bellevue School District, said in order to adequately fund education, the state’s budgeting process must be reformed.

“We need to shrink the rest of the general budget, which has grown,” he said. Meanwhile, funding for education has shrunk, he said. One way to improve education funding is to improve e� ciency through technology, he said.

“� e use of technology could enhance education,” said Myers, who has lectured at the university level. “We have two excellent tech com-panies in the 48th District — Microso� and Google. � e less we spend on other things, the more we can spend on education.”

Myers is a big advocate of Budgeting by Priorities (BP) — a � nancial strategy the City of Redmond adopted in 2008 when Myers was � rst elected to the Redmond City Council. He said the state needs to adopt a priorities-based budgeting approach that is predicated on public input and eliminates parti-san politics.

Don’t fret over bond prices

When you own stocks, you know their prices will fluctu-ate. To ease the effects of this volatility on your portfolio, you could add other types of investments, such as bonds. Yet bond prices will also rise and fall. But there may be — in fact, there should be — a big difference in how you

view the ups and downs of stocks versus bonds.

Any number of reasons can cause stock prices to go up or down. But in the case of bonds, prices go up and down largely, though not exclusively, for one reason: changes in interest rates. Suppose you purchase a bond that pays 4 percent interest and then, a year later, newly issued bonds pay 3 percent. You could now potentially

sell your bond for more than its face value because it provides more income to investors than the new bonds. Conversely, if newly issued bonds pay 5 percent interest, the value of your existing bond would drop because it’s unlikely that someone would pay full price for a bond that provides less income than newer bonds. more story online…kirklandreporter.com

When you own stocks, or stock-based investments, you want their price to rise because you probably plan on selling those stocks someday — and you’d like to sell them for more than you paid for them.

Simplicity ABC opens in downtown Kirkland Aug. 10

“A” Suraphong Lieng-boonlertchai, owner of Kirkland’s Simplicity De-cor says he’s “tickled pink” to announce the Grand Opening of his new sister store, Simplicity ABC.

� e festivities will start at 5 p.m., with a ribbon cutting by Deputy Mayor Doreen Marchione at 5:30 pm.

Ten percent of all proceeds from sales dur-ing the Grand Opening weekend, Aug. 10-12, will go to � e Kirkland Boys & Girls Club of King County, aiding in the $40,000 Sum-

mer Camp Scholarships provided to youth who need us the most.

A said that Simplicity ABC will be a unique com-bination of a wonderful shopping experience and a community gathering place, o� ering parents and children a warm, welcom-ing destination in the heart of downtown Kirkland.

“We’ll o� er the same very personalized service people have come to ex-pect at Simplicity Decor,” A said. “And Simplicity ABC will also be a social center for the community, o� ering all kinds of fun activities and classes for children and their par-ents.”

� e idea behind Sim-plicity ABC actually came from A’s customers at Simplicity Decor. As more and more people began enjoying the store’s unique children’s items and asking

for more gi� s, toys and books, what began as a small corner of kids’ items quickly expanded.

“Eventually, we ran out of space,” he said.

A knew the only way to answer all the requests from his customers would be to expand into a new space in the neighbor-hood. So he began looking.

“A few years later, I learned Georgie, owner of Lakeshore Gallery across the street, had plans to retire,” said A.

A� er few short months, a lot of renovating and hard work later, Simplicity ABC was born: a place for children and their parents to live, laugh and learn.

Simplicity ABC is lo-cated at 107 Park Lane in Kirkland, across the street from Simplicity Decor. Visit Simplicity Decor online at www.simplici-tydecor.com.

While the cause of exces-sive anxiety in kids is uncer-tain, research suggests there may be a genetic component. Scientists have found that

a particular genetic varia-tion related to introverted personalities also involves the processing of fear and anxiety. Does this mean that

anxious parents will have anxious children? It may, but not always.

Environment plays a big role in the manifestation and severity of anxiety—as much or even more than genes. For example, children who expe-rience many changes in their

lives or who do not have a se-cure attachment to a parental � gure may develop anxious responses, even without a genetic susceptibility.

Anxiety may also be a learned behavior, since a parent’s ability to handle stress in� uences the child to react to certain situations in

the same way.

As a parent, it’s impor-tant to recognize anxious behavior in your

child. Some warning signs include severe shyness, sleeping or eating problems, excessive worrying, or com-pulsive (repetitive) behaviors.

If your child exhibits one or more of these signs, you can try to help overcome the fears which lead to his or her anxious behavior. One tip is to acknowledge your child’s worries and en-courage a discussion about the issue. Avoid telling any child not to worry, as the fear will not go away on its own, nor simply because you say so.

Is anxiety hereditary?

Your child may be at more risk if you are an anxious parent

Bellevue Reporter

State Rep. Ross Hunt-er (D-Medina) is aiming for his sixth

term in the 48th District this fall. In his reelection effort, Hunter has drawn only one challenger, Bill Hirt, a Bellevue resident.

Hirt is a Republican running on the issue of East Link light-rail, a plan he thinks will bring more harm than good to the region. He has testi-fied at numerous Bellevue City Council meetings about the project.

“I’m running because Eastside legislators have abetted East Link, a monumental fraud perpetrated by Sound Transit and the WSDOT that will be a disaster for the entire east side,” he wrote in his statement on the King County Voters Pamphlet.

Hirt has not raised any funds for his cam-paign, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission. Hunter has raised more than $96,000, with about $15,000 spent.

Hunter, the chair of the state House Ways and Means Committee, is one of the more influential Democrats in the House. He is a key figure in state budget negotiations.

Hunter said in the voter’s guide that he will continue to work toward creating a financially stable state, while making sure to focus on some of the Eastside’s most press-ing projects.

“With your support I will continue to empha-size a strong, fully-fund-ed education system, bal-anced state budgets, and work to ensure the 520 bridge project remains on time and under budget,” he said.

The Municipal League of King County rated Hunter as “Very Good,” while it said Hirt was “Not Qualified” for the position.

Pro golfer and Kirkland native golfs at ‘Swing for the Cure’BY ANDY NYSTROM

[email protected]

When JoAnne Carner started shaping her golf game back in the 1950s, Inglewood Golf Club and the old Juanita Golf Course were her stomp-ing grounds.

Carner, now 73, didn’t possess a bag of golf clubs at � rst, but a pair of de� hands used for ball hunting at Juanita with her brother, Bill Gunderson.

“We would clean them up and sell them on the week-end,” she said with a laugh about 90 minutes before teeing o� last Sunday at the LPGA Legends Swing for the Cure Golf Tournament at Inglewood in Kenmore.

Carner, a World Golf Hall of Famer, had 43 tournament wins — including two U.S. Women’s Opens — during her career.

“We were allowed to play a� er the paying customers, so we played a lot of golf when everybody was having din-ner,” said Carner about hit-ting the links as a youngster. “We used to play moonlight golf with the neighbor kids — there would be 10 or 12 of us. � at’s why it never bothers me, people talking in my swing — growing up with them, everybody’s yelling in your backswing.”

A small, but loyal, gallery of golf fans cheered for and joked with Carner — paired with fellow legend Nancy Lopez — as she strolled up to the � rst tee on Sunday.

Carner and Lopez cracked nice drives to start their rounds, and many people followed the duo — the last to tee o� for the day — along the course.

Bill McDonnell, who traveled from Mukilteo to attend the event with his wife, Sue, noted about Carner and Lopez: “Boy, they still got game.”

Carner � nished with a 6-over 79 and tied for 24th on the Legends Tour stop, while Nancy Scranton picked up her fourth win on the tour with a 2-under 71. Lopez tied for 16th with a 4-over 77.

All proceeds from the Legends Swing for the Cure Golf Tournament will go to

the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound organiza-tion to � ght breast cancer. About 1,000 people attended the event.

“Not only is Susan G. Komen such a great char-ity — everybody wants to do something to give back a little bit,” said Carner, who now lives in Palm Beach, Fla. “And, of course, being from this area and having played Inglewood a lot, it’s fun to be back here.”

Komen and Mulvanny G2 Architecture of Bellevue paired up to host the bene� t tournament for the 10th year, and the � rst with the LPGA Legends on hand.

Gail Lapasin, Komen’s

Puget Sound a� liate director of development, said that when breast cancer is caught in its earliest stages, there’s a 99-percent, � ve-year survival

rate.“� at’s our most impor-

tant message,” she said at the tournament. “People are walking away with a pretty full, robust experience: It’s a great sporting event, a great gol� ng event and something important for your health.”

Seventy-� ve percent of the net funds raised will help provide mammograms, treat-ment support and education for local women. Twenty-� ve percent of the net funds will go directly to global research to � nd a cure for breast cancer.

Mulvanny G2 board chair-man Jerry Lee noted that the tournament raised $830,000 for Komen in the � rst nine years. (Sunday’s totals weren’t available at press time.)

“Every $150 we raise is for one mammogram,” said Lee, whose late wife, Patricia, died of breast cancer 15 years ago, and his current wife, Charlene, is a breast-cancer survivor.

“We were active with Komen when (Patricia) was alive, and a� er we lost her, we continued carrying the ban-ner,” Lee said.

Back on the course, the McDonnells followed Cindy Rarick during her round. � ey met the Silvara vine-yards co-owner in Leaven-worth at their daughter’s wedding last summer and found out she’d be playing Inglewood.

“� e course is beautiful, and Cindy’s playing really well, which makes it really

nice to watch. � e players are incredible,” Bill said. Rarick � nished tied for 12th with a 3-over 76.

Carner said she’s just as competitive as ever on the Legends Tour. Her ball � ight and speed may have taken a hit with age, she noted, but there’s no stopping her from giving her clubs a workout.

“I’ve always loved it. My husband used to say, ‘You know, you’d be happy if I dropped you o� at eight in the morning and picked you up at dark at night.’

I can play with anybody or play by myself and just enjoy it,” said Carner, who learned to hit the ball long during driving contests with her brother’s buddies at Juanita back in the day.

Patty Sheehan, who tied for second with a 1-under 72 on Sunday, summed up the ladies’ feelings about golf a� er driving o� the � rst tee. She turned to the crowd, waved and said: “If you can’t have fun, do something else.”

Carner tied at 24th with a 6-over 79. ANDY NYSTROM, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

All in the Timing–and–

BY MATT PHELPS AND RAECHEL DAWSON

Kirkland Reporter

On a hot sunny summer day, nearly 100 patrons lined up inside the Kirk-land Fred Meyer � ursday. But they weren’t waiting to buy hot dogs or beer. � eir patience was for a chance to meet Seattle Mariner Casper Wells.

� e out� elder auto-graphed posters, baseballs and bats for an hour to promote Seattle baseball and the Miller and Coors beer, which was dutifully stacked behind him. It is the � rst time a professional player visited the Kirkland Fred Meyer in four years for an autograph session, according to a Fred Meyer spokesperson.

Danielle and Phil

Rapoza said they decided to meet the Mariner to support the team. � e Rapoza’s and their two sons were dressed in Mariner gear and, they said, had been to about 20 games this season.

“Hopefully he’ll be the right � elder in the future,” said Phil. “…� at he’ll � ll the void of Ichiro.”

For Wells, 28, the signing was a chance to connect with fans a� er less than a year with the Seattle team.

“It is good to be a part of the community,” said Wells. “It is nice to show them what I am like out-side of baseball.”

Wells has had his share of ups and downs this season - literally. He was sent down to the Mariners’ AAA a� liate in Tacoma

during a portion of this season a� er struggling at the plate. When he was recalled to the big-league club his o� ensive produc-tion picked up. He even batted third in the lineup for a few games. � at spot is normally reserved for the team’s best hitter.

“It is whatever skip (manager Eric Wedge) wants,” said Wells. “I am just glad to be in the lineup.”

� e trade of Ichiro was heartbreaking to some fans but also presents an op-portunity for young players such as Wells.

“� ere are changes in baseball all the time and you have to take advantage of any opportunity,” said Wells. “� ere were changes when I came over from Detroit.”

Like Ichiro this season, Wells was part of a midsea-son trade last year.

“I am excited for (Ichiro) and I hope it ends up in something exciting to-wards the latter part of his career,” said Wells.

Ichiro’s trade to the New York Yankees moved him from a last-place team, to the team with the best record in the American league, a shot to play in the post-season and maybe the World Series.

As a young player with just under a year with the Mariners’ organization, Wells admitted that he did not get to know Ichiro very well. But he still had an impact on the out� elder.

“We never had any conversations,” said Wells. “But it was just the way he carried himself and went about his business.”

instituted a priority-based approach to budgeting for the state 10 years ago, but current Gov. Chris Gre-goire switched back to a more traditional process, where cuts and addi-tions are made using the baseline of the previous budget. A priority budget-ing approach uses a zero baseline and funds items that citizens value most.

Myers said BP has worked well in Redmond and it “reduces leadership power and politics.”

“We are looking at services we want to pro-vide, not whether we are Democrat or Republican or whose idea it was,” Myer said. “A side benefit of budgeting by priori-ties is that it lowers the tension to come up with partisan solutions.”

Using this method,

the City of Redmond has established a stable budget and council members get along collegially as they put together a financial plan that reflects the priorities of the citizens, Myers said.

Longtime resident with experience

Myers, who has lived in south Redmond for nearly 40 years and earned a bachelor of arts in English from California State University, has 35 years of civic and regula-tory experience. He has developed software for improving government efficiency and won awards for innovative transporta-tion programs.

He serves on the board of directors for the Together Center, a

Redmond-based, multi-social-services orga-nization, where he has helped plan and imple-ment several cost-saving outreach programs. An environmental advocate, he serves on the Salmon Recovery Council and is a certified forest steward with the Green Redmond program.

Before retiring in 2010, Myers for 20 years was the principal consultant for MTC, a transporta-

tion consulting firm. His clients ranged from small, rural airlines in Alaska to Microsoft, where he orga-nized its award-winning

commute-trip reduc-tion program.

In addition to his professional work in transportation, Myers was appoint-

ed to leadership po-sitions on three Metro

Transit Citizen Sounding Boards assessing Eastside bus service.

Throughout his profes-sional and civic career,

Myers said he has worked hard to “provide the most effective and efficient use

of funds” — something he hopes to bring to Olym-pia.

Keeping startups in Washington

After graduating from Columbia, Habib received a Rhodes Scholarship and studied English literature at the University of Oxford in England. He then followed his mother’s footsteps and attended law school at Yale

University in New Haven, Conn. He said he chose Yale Law School because it has a real commitment to public service and produces well-rounded lawyers who understand the role of the law in society.

Habib is in his fourth year as an attorney at Perkins Coie, a law firm based in Bel-levue. He works in the firm’s business practice and focuses

on emerging companies, licensing and technology and corporate governance and transactions. He mostly works with startups, largely in the high-tech industry.

Habib, whose father is an engineer at Boeing, said his job has given him insight to what the state can do to encourage and promote startups in Washington so they don’t leave for Silicon

Valley, Austin or elsewhere in the country.

Support from others

Since Habib filed for candidacy he has raised $187,393 for his campaign and spent $135,081, ac-cording to the state’s Public Disclosure Commission (PDC). He said his campaign

has held a few fundrais-ing events, but much of the money has been raised online.

Habib’s endorsements include Cantwell, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee. Locally, he has been endorsed by King County Executive Dow Constantine, the mayors of Redmond, Bellevue and

Kirkland and a number of city council members from each jurisdiction.

He said the endorsements from the city mayors, 48th Legislative District Rep. Ross Hunter (Pos. 1) and 48th Legislative District Sen. Rodney Tom as well as the League of Education Voters have been the most mean-ingful ones he has received.

LWSD receives nearly six million for two Kirkland schools

Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn announced $213 million in capital con-struction money ap-proved and released to school districts through-out the state, including close to $14 million for Lake Washington School District. The legislature made these funds avail-

able for school construc-tion, as approved by the governor.

Lake Washington suc-cessfully applied for state funding to help with the cost of four school construction projects that are part of the district’s modernization program.

“These additional state dollars help us stretch the modernization funds provided by local taxpay-ers even further,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superin-tendent.

Two Kirkland schools, Alexander Graham Bell Elementary ($3.1 mil-lion) and International Community School/Community School

($2.7 million), received construction funds. The two schools are among 10 in the district slated for modernization and are in the second of four phases. It ensures that district schools are updated every 30 to 40 years. A $436 million bond measure passed by voters in 2006 funds most of the cost of updating these 10 build-ings.

The four current LWSD projects are the last to be completed in this phase of modernization. All four have begun construc-tion and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2013. Three other schools – Muir Elementary, Keller

Elementary and Sandburg Elementary/Discovery Community School, all in Kirkland – are now being completed in preparation for opening in September 2012.

Bernstein among DUC lacrosse recruiting class

Lake Washington High School standout boys lacrosse player Cody Bernstein is among nine student-athletes that will play for Dominican Uni-versity of California Men’s Lacrosse team next year.

Head Coach Ned

Webster announced the Penguins’ 2012-13 re-cruiting class, bolstering a team which recorded the first winning season in the program’s history last year.

Bernstein, a first team all-state player and team captain in 2011 and 2012, will be reunited with his older brother, Jake Bern-stein, at Dominican. Cody followed a 32 goal junior year for the Kangaroos and was named a USILA All-American as a senior. He is one of only six high school lacrosse players in the state of Washington to earn All-American status this year. He also was named Adrenaline La-crosse All-American this year. Cody competed in basketball for the Kangs and was voted its best

defensive player the past two seasons.

“Cody is a tenacious athlete who is equally skilled as a dodger, a finisher, a shooter and a feeder,” Webster said. “He possesses excellent speed and a quick change of direction that help him gain separation from his defender. He’s the type of player who could have one goal and five assists one game, then five goals and one assist the next. He’s smart enough to take what’s given to him.”

Juanita Baseball Club tryouts

The Juanita Baseball Club will hold its 2013 tryouts for incoming 9th-12th graders, or U16 and U18 teams, at Juanita High School.

Tryout dates and times are Aug. 5 from 4-7 p.m., and Aug. 12 from 4-7 p.m.

The club asks that at-tendees arrive 15 minutes early to register.

For more information contact Scott Blackburn at [email protected] and see Juanita Base-ball Club on Facebook.
