[email protected]

Whole Foods Market has announced it

will open its first store in Kirkland, which will act as a retail anchor for the redeveloped Village of Totem Lake - the land that currently houses

Totem Lake Malls.The 40,000 square

foot store will be located in the mixed-use de-velopment at I-405 and Northeast 124th Street and is anticipated to open during summer 2017 when the redevelopment is finished.

According to Whole Foods, the store will fea-

ture a community butch-er, fishmonger, baker and a team of chefs who will prepare take-out meals. The store is expected to have 150 employees.

“We’re so excited to be joining the community in Kirkland and we look forward to sharing our mission and values with our new neighbors,“

Whole Foods Market’s Presi-dent of the Pacific North-west region Joe Rogoff said in a press release. “Creating jobs, supporting lo-cal producers and finding opportuni-ties to partner with area schools and non-profits are core to our philoso-

phy and prac-tices, and we’re eager to begin this work in Kirkland. In the next few months, we’ll be working very closely with the

people of Kirkland to design a store experience that reflects the needs of

In 2013, when Amy Goings accepted the position of president of Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech), she said the biggest challenge for the institution was funding.

Now, as the Board of Trustees has renewed her contract for another five

years, she said the fund-ing challenge remains. She was unanimously chosen as school’s ninth president in 2013 after a seven-month public process to replace the college’s late president, David Woodall, 67, who died in September 2012 from a heart attack.

“We have a board of trustees who take their role very seriously and

they are great partners with me leading the college forward,” she said. “I see that (contract renewal) really, it was in-tended as an affirmation of the work the college has engaged in during the last several years.”

Goings cited her two visits to the White House and increased local recognition for both student and teacher ac-

complishments. “We have great fac-

ulty and inspirational students who have been recognized,” Goings said. “The community has just been so supportive of the college. I hope to con-tinue that for a number of years to come.”

Despite some positive outcomes from the latest legislative session that

Inaugural Rave Green Run this Sunday in KirklandBY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

Sounders FC fans and runners will be partici-pating in the inaugural Rave Green Run in Kirk-land on Sunday, which will include sections of the Cross Kirkland Cor-ridor (CKC).

The event, sponsored by EvergreenHealth, will include a kid’s 1k, a 5k and 9k course. Jeff Orswell, president of Orswell Events, said they hope for the event to be-come an annual tradition. They were inspired to create the event after the Seahawks 12k Run at The Landing in Renton. The popularity of the race made them look at doing the same thing for the Sounders FC. Looking for a place to hold the event, they went with Kirkland due to the strong fanbase and popularity of run-ning on the Eastside.

“The Sounders thought it would be fun to have an Eastside event close to home for the Eastside fans,” Orswell said. “We

Junior Softball Little League World Series � nal this weekendBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

� e Junior So� ball World Series is being played in Kirkland this week at Everest Park with 10 teams from around the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Asia Paci� c region.

� e tournament began on Aug. 2 and the � nals, played tomorrow at 2 p.m., will be broadcast on ESPN.

In all, the teams will play a combined 34 games during the six day pool play round and championship tourna-ment.

Latin America and Canada were the � rst two teams to win games on the � rst day of the 2015 Junior So� ball World Series.

Latin America overpow-ered Europe-Africa, 20-3, while Canada edged the U.S. Central team, 11-10.

� e event will also host a skills competition, sponsored by Les Schwab.

For the � rst time in three years, the host team is from

Bellevue. � e team has struggled during its � rst two games as of Tuesday, losing to Central, 3-0, and Southeast, 13-0, both teams from the United States.

Last year the host team from Kirkland nearly won the championship.

New this year are the Chal-lenger Division games.

In 1989, the Little League Challenger Division was established to provide a Little League experience to children with physical and intellectual challenges. In 2001, Little League gave two Challenger Division teams the opportunity to play a game at the Little League Baseball World Series.

� is year, for the � rst time, Challenger Division teams participated in a game at the

Junior So� ball World Series.“� e Little League So� ball

World Series Tournaments are some of the most exciting, competitive events in youth so� ball,” said Sara � omp-son, Little League Director of So� ball Development. “� e Little League So� ball World Series Challenger Exhibition Game is one of the favorite things on the schedule in Portland, not only for the fans, but for the teams and players, as well. We are look-ing forward to bringing these fun, inspirational games to all of the so� ball tournaments this August.”

More than 30,000 athletes participate in more than 900 Challenger programs in 10 countries around the world. For more information, visit LittleLeagueChallenger.org.

the community.”� e city of Kirkland’s

Economic Development Di-rector Ellen Miller Wolfe said the store will be a welcome addition to the city’s existing grocery stores.

“� ere have been a num-ber of groceries that have gone out over the years, so this � lls a gap as far as that goes, for people who are cur-rently living here,” she said.

Wolfe added that it rep-resents forward thinking on the part of Centercal, which owns the property.

“It’s a great anchor for this shopping center, for a retail center,” she said. “� ey’re thinking not just about the retail anchor. � ey’re think-ing this is a new neighbor-hood…it’s not just ful� lling the needs of this mall, it’s go-ing to help this have a sense of place.”

� e announcement has also received unanimous support from the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Com-merce, according to Director Bruce Wynn.

“Everybody thinks it’s a positive thing,” he said.

“Whole Foods Market will be a tremendous addi-tion. � e quality o� ering of Whole Foods Market will complement the redevel-oped 800,000-square-foot project. � e Village at Totem Lake, a walkable, mixed-use community will also include a theatre, residential, o� ce and retail to serve the needs of this wonderful trade area,” CenterCal Properties Presi-dent Jean Paul Wardy said in a press release statement.

� ere is currently a Trader Joe’s at Totem Lake Malls. According to their corporate o� ce, they have no plans to relocate at this time.

CenterCal purchased the Totem Lake Malls property earlier this year and expects construction to begin in about a year. In addition to a proposed 400 residential units, the redevelopment will have a village commons, park and high-end restaurants. � e master plan anticipates Metro Transit will add a bus stop along 120th Avenue Northeast, the location of a joint e� ort 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.

� e � rst conceptual design conference with the city’s design review board was held July 6.

Summer School students soar with special poetry lesson

John Muir Elementary summer school students received a special visit from nationally known poet Janet Wong on July 22. Wong shared her chil-drens poems, stories about po-etry and how to be a poet.

Wong brought a large brown alligator suitcase with special props inside. She had student helpers choose something from the case and she told a story or poem about the item. Students engaged as Wong read stories about food, family, and immi-gration. She read a story in Spanish, and stories about her own father. She also taught the teachers a special noodle dance. � e students learned to speak Wookie.

Wong’s message to the children was clear. “Do you have an idea?” she asked. “Write it down. Don’t worry about making it ‘good’ - just try. � e key is getting started. Getting those big wheels in your brain to move. If you sput-ter, if you stall, no prob-lem. Wait a little while and start it up again.”

King County Library System librarian Jennifer Du� y arranged for Wong’s visit.

Corn ethanol now driven by Democrats

In his letter last month, Mr. Jeffers confers blame for support of the ethanol fuel indus-try upon Republicans, but the Energy Policy Act of 2005, a wide-ranging bill that provided tax incentives and loan guarantees for a wide variety of energy sources, including nuclear and coal, was predated by the Energy Tax Act of 1978, which created the first ethanol tax credits in an effort to decrease the nation’s vulnerability to oil shortages while boosting the price of corn, which had been depressed by federal agricultural subsidies. Apparently axiomatic for career politicians: the anti-dote for one piece of bad legislation is to dream up another one.

A check of the non-partisan tax-payer.net website, however, con-firmed my suspicion that support for the production of corn ethanol (dba “biofuels”) is a solidly Democrat issue.

Of those members of Congress serving on committees with jurisdiction over biofuels subsidies and mandates during the period leading up to this legislation (2009-2012), 10 of the Top 15 recipients of individual federal political contributions from the biofuels industry were Democrats.

In 2013 the intensive and persistent lob-bying effort by the biofuels industry paid off in spades, and Democrats were running the show:

“In Sept. 2013, Sen. Harkin (D-IA) intro-duced the Biofuels Market Expansion Act of 2013 which would boost subsidies for the

mature corn ethanol industry. The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tim Johnson (D-SD), and Al Franken (D-MN), would increase subsidies for ethanol blender pumps and storage tanks and create new federal supports for ethanol pipelines.”

In the end, whether you blame Republicans or Democrats (there is surely lots of blame to spread around), I think we can all agree that corn ethanol - perverting a foodstuff into a motor fuel, then mandating its use through legislation, creating a market that would not otherwise exist - is a very bad idea.

Source: http://www.taxpayer.net/library/article/updated-political-footprint-of-the-

corn-ethanol-lobbyI am old enough to remember seeing

President Jimmy Carter on TV during this time, sitting by a roaring fire-place with a sweater on, addressing the country. He earnestly reminded

us to turn down our thermostats, drive slower, get used to (his) idea of “eco-

nomic malaise.” He would later have a similar ‘fireside chat’ to ask us to have patience as he and his State department tried their best to negotiate with those pesky Iranians to please the release the 52 US hostages they had taken when the Islamic Revolution stormed our embassy in Tehran.

Alas, the Carter administration was unsuc-cessful in their negotiating attempts, despite their repeated apologies for our previous support of the Shah. Mere minutes after Rea-gan was sworn in as President, however, the hostages were unilaterally released. This is a testament to the value the Islamic Revolution placed (then, as now) on a credible threat

of overwhelming military force being used against them. Touchy-feely diplomacy does not work with a 13th century mindset.Roger Clarke-Johnson, Kirkland

Recycle your glass at Juanita Beach so it is not a hazard

I enjoy Juanita Beach and all the fun activi-ties – paddleboarding, swimming, playing in the sand. Yesterday, I was at the beach and I picked up 12 pieces of glass in half an hour. The pieces were broken and jagged. I went and spoke to the lifeguards at the first-aid tent and inquired how often people step or get cut on glass. The lifeguards stated that it has happened six to seven times this summer and that it happens a lot. On July 3, an 11 year old cut his knee on glass and went into shock.

I am concerned for the safety of the beach and the safety of the people in Kirkland Washington.

Come on adults! Recycle your glass bottles and keep kids safe.Mary Madaline Roe, 10, Kirkland

Sound Transit got all it asked for and more than it wanted from state lawmak-ers this year.

Its leaders sought and obtained permission to put their next phase of expansion known as ST3 and the buffet of taxes to pay for it in front of voters.

This is the $15 billion undertaking Sound Transit says will enable it to make good on its promise to provide light-rail service to Everett and Tacoma.

Voters in Snohomish, King and Pierce counties could decide as early as November 2016 whether to fund this added service through a combination of higher taxes on property, retail sales and motor vehicles.

But if it’s approved, Sound Transit will be putting millions of those new tax dollars into building affordable housing and funding schools in those counties before any light rail trains reach Lynnwood let alone Everett.

That’s what state lawmakers demanded of Sound Transit in exchange for fulfilling the regional transit authority’s request.

If that sounds like a negotiation, it re-ally wasn’t. Lawmakers didn’t consider any counter-offers. It was take-it-or-leave-it so Sound Transit took it.

Now, here’s what must happen if voters ap-prove the ST3 plan and taxing authority:

• Sound Transit must put $20 million into a revolving loan fund to finance affordable

housing projects. Sound Transit, which will administer the fund and cut the loan checks, must ante up $4 million a year for five con-secutive years. It must start depositing that money within three years of voter approval.

• Sound Transit must plug a $518 million hole in the state’s general fund with payments starting in 2017 and lasting through at least 2031.

Those dollars will go into a new Puget Sound taxpayer accountability account. They will be doled out to Snohomish, King and Pierce counties to distribute “for educational services to improve educational outcomes” in early learning, elementary and secondary

schools, and colleges.Counties, which aren’t in the education

business, must figure out where to send the money. Right now there are no rules on where the money will go so it could go to public, private or parochial schools or col-leges. The only condition is the “educational services” occur within the Sound Transit boundaries.

The two directives emerged in the heat of negotiations among lawmakers on a state-wide transportation package and resolved a seemingly irreclaimable dispute on what to do with sales tax the state pays on road

Sound Transit got all it asked for and more

Endless Summer DaysWhen we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to doto hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring.

Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax.

Now I’m her caregiver with life responsibilities and kids of my own. And I know what she knew back then – summers fly by in an instant.

projects.That money now goes

into the general fund to pay for schools, among other things. The House Democrats wanted to keep it going there but Senate Republicans sought to divert it to transportation projects.

The majority parties in the two chambers found a compromise — Sound Transit.

As part of the trans-portation package Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law earlier this month, the state will begin

diverting sales tax paid on new road projects in 2019. This will siphon an estimated $518 mil-lion from the general fund through 2013.

Sound Transit must backfill those dollars. To do that, Sound Transit will now start pay-ing sales tax on labor costs associated with its expansion projects. That will make those projects a little more expensive, but it’s the political price the agency leaders felt they had to pay.

“We didn’t ask for that,” said Everett

City Councilman Paul Roberts who is the vice chairman of the Sound Transit board of direc-tors. “It was the cost of doing business. This gives us the chance to build the system voters approved and expect.”

No foul play connected to body found in north KirklandBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

Kirkland police don’t believe foul play was involved in the death of a local man whose body was found last week near Edith Moulton Park in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood. � e body was found in a wooded area and it was there for about two weeks, accord-

ing to the King County Medical Examiner’s o� ce.

“� ere were no imme-diate signs of foul play,” said Kirkland Police De-partment spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray.

� e heat, along with the duration between the death and when the body was found, has contrib-uted to decomposition, making it di� cult for authorities to identify the deceased male, ap-proximately between the ages of 25-35.

Kirkland police visited the home listed on the man’s identi� cation and

talked with the residents.“We located the family

and we are 99 percent sure we have the right person,” Murray said. “But we are waiting for dental records to come back to get a positive ID.”

� e report is due back at the end of the week or beginning of next week.

Murray said that the man once lived in Kirk-land but had recently moved just outside of the city.

Police are also waiting on a toxicology report to determine what was in the man’s system at the time of his death.

included tuition cuts for students and cost of living adjustment for employees, Goings said they still have a ways to go.

“We’re still not funded to the levels where we can be growing programs without support,” she said. “The state funding continues to be a chal-lenge, which is where our innovation comes in.”

To remedy this, the institute has been turn-ing to organizations to help grow and expand those programs. Recently, LWTech received their first ever grants from the National Science Foun-dation (NSF). The two grants provide a total of $800,000 in funding. The NSF awarded a $199,380 grant for the development of the Pacific Northwest Photonics Technology Project (PNW Photonics). LWTech plans to offer a 70-credit photonics tech-nology certificate within

the advanced manu-facturing AAS degree programs, making it the only employer-validated, NSF-affiliated photonics program in Washington.

“That really speaks to the innovation,” Goings said. “We’re one of the few colleges in the coun-try involved in that. That will be a great addition to our electronics technol-ogy program, which is in-novative in itself already.”

The other NSF grant will provide $580,000 grant for the Future Tech Stars NSF S-STEM Scholarship Program (Future Tech Stars) to develop a scholarship program for low-income students studying Science, Technology, Engineer-ing or Math (STEM). Through it, LWTech will award $500,000 in student scholarships, $125,000 a year in scholarships to around 25 full-time students, with each scholarship approximately

$5,000. Goings said the

scholarship program will ideally help student completion rates and prevent students from ending their academic studies prematurely due to financial constraints, as well as help their plans for more diversity on the campus.

“Certainly, funding full scholarships will help with that,” she said. “One way the STEM grant sup-ports that (diversity plan) is by the fact that it’s fo-cused on low income first generation students. It’s very much in alignment with where we’re going as an institution.”

Overall, the two grants, Goings said, fit with the institute’s mission of preparing students for

tomorrows opportunities. “That fundamental

work mission, whether at the technical high school level, is very much still front and center,” she said. “It’s an integral part of our mission as a work college that we’re keeping pace with the industry.”

Another thing they have focused on, she said, is making the institute attractive, not just for students, but to educators as well.

“We want to be the

workplace education of choice, the employer of choice,” she said. “My goal is to make sure we’re focused on our strategic plan and we implement that plan.”

One thing that has changed, Goings said, since she first stepped in as president, is the level of awareness about LWIT in the greater community.

“When I first came to the college two years ago I heard a lot of feedback from the internal commu-

nity feeling like they were the best kept secret,” she said. “Now, it is no secret. The community knows…We’re doing great work and being as responsive as we can be to meet the needs of the community.”

The PNW Photonics program will begin dur-ing the 2015-2016 aca-demic year. Students who are interested in applying for the Future Tech Stars scholarships will be able to do so in the 2015-2016 academic year.

NU signs four prep athletes for women’s basketball

Northwest University women’s basketball head coach Ken Crawford an-nounced the commitment of four high school seniors for the fall 2015 fresh-man class at the Kirkland school. Signing letters of intent to attend school and compete for the Eagles are

Mariah Stacona of Madras, Ore.; Jessalyn Henry of Seattle, Wash.; Emily Fiso of Seattle, Wash.; and Miranda Langenhorst of Susanville, Calif.

Stacona graduated from Madras High School in Oregon and the 5-foot-5 guard was named to the Oregonian’s first team, all-state squad after the 2014-15 season. She was also named the MVP of the Tri Valley League in the same year. Stacona scored 1,604 career averaging 15.7 points and 3.5 assists per game for her career at MHS while shooting 45 percent.

Fiso played her prep bas-

ketball at West Seattle High School in Seattle’s Metro League where the 6-foot tall wing was named to the Seattle Times All-Metro League team in 2014-15. Fiso also helped lead her Wildcat team to a Metro League championship and the WIAA State Tourna-ment and was named to the Olympic All-Metro League Team by the Kitsap Sun.

Langenhorst, a 6-foot-2 post, played for Lassen Union High School in Northern California earn-ing varsity letters in both volleyball and basketball. She was two-time all-league team member in

both sports as well and earned Northern League CIF first team honors. Langenhorst was also a member of the Northern Section All-Star team.

Henry comes to North-west University from Se-attle Christian High School where the 5-foot-10 post was a team captain and earned varsity letters in basketball, volleyball, cross country and track. An out-standing student, Henry was also a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society.

“We are very excited about this recruiting class as there is the blend of tal-

ent and leadership that we look for in all of our ath-letes,” Crawford said. “Each of these athletes will add to our program, both on and off the court. All four of them were team leaders in high school and all of them possess the types of skills that will make them an important part of our con-tinued success. They are the type of individuals that will expect to compete for playing time right away.”

The four freshman will help bolster an Eagle roster which only graduated two seniors last season and included six freshman on the 2014-15 team.

Kirklander earns second academic honors from Clark University

Kirkland resident Naomi Shmueli has been named to second honors on the Clark University dean’s list. This selection marks outstanding academic achievement during the Spring 2015 semester.

Kirkland-based X Gym is moving from downtown to a location near the South Kirkland Park and Ride, where the owner plans to offer free afternoon school programs for chil-dren living at the Imagine Housing across the street.

According to owner PJ Glassey, the gym is moving due to maintenance work in their current building located on Central Way, though he added that other issues influenced their decision as well, such as parking and traf-fic congestion.

“It’s just too hard for our clients now to find parking,” he said. “And then there is traffic. Clients have trouble get-ting to us who don’t live downtown. It’s really been worse in the last year, and now that they’re building so fast there, it’s exacer-bated the problem. It’s not getting better downtown. I think it will continue to get worse. We love being in kirkland but we just need to be outside of that whole thing.”

Additionally, Glassey said the new location, which is located near

the boundary with Bel-levue, will allow him to draw more customers from south of Kirkland. Although they won’t have a lot more space than before, Glassey said it’s more open, which will make group training more

feasible. “Our new space

is going to be perfect for that,” he said.

Glassey said they also plan to

offer a new 45-minute after-school program for kids to work out and talk about living healthier lifestyles through things such as nutrition.

“We really want to ser-

vice the immediate com-munity first,” he said, “the schools across the street and then the surrounding neighborhoods.”

“Our emphasis is on health first,” he added. “That’s what we’re all about, coaching people about that.”

X Gym plans to open up at their new location at 10724 NE 38th Place in Kirkland by September.

REPORER STAFF

Kirkland naturopath Mark Chan Monwai, 42, pleaded guilty in King County Superior Court on July 17 to two counts of filing a false insur-ance claim in connection with his Kirkland medical practice.

The judge sentenced Monwai to repay the insurance companies for the false claims. The amount will be determined at a later date. He must also pay $600 in court costs and fees and perform 240 hours of community service over the next year.

Monwai was charged in April 2015 with first- and second-degree iden-tity theft and two counts of filing false insurance claims after an inves-tigation by Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler’s Special Inves-tigations Unit (SIU).

Monwai owns and operates the Cornerstone Family Health Clinic. Two health insurers, Premera Blue Cross and Regence, canceled Mon-wai’s contracts in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Not having a contract

left him unable to bill those insur-ance companies at the higher in-network rate. According to the charges, Monwai billed Regence and Premera for services he pro-vided to patients

using the names of two naturopaths who had left his practice at the end of 2013.

“Doctors are in a posi-tion of trust and using that trust to commit in-surance fraud is particu-larly egregious,” Kreidler said. “Defrauding health insurance companies raises rates for all people, many of whom struggle to pay their monthly premiums. I encourage

consumers to scruti-nize their explanation of benefits statements and to report anything that seems strange to my office.”

The charging docu-ments state Premera paid 47 fraudulent claims totaling more than $1,100 and Regence paid 116 fraudulent claims totaling more than $5,200. Monwai told SIU detectives that he falsified the signatures of the two naturopaths to endorse 33 checks from the companies.

At this time, Mon-wai retains his medical license through the state Department of Health.

Kreidler’s Special In-vestigations Unit inves-tigates insurance fraud and works with the At-torney General’s Office and local prosecutors to prosecute criminal cases. Consumers can report suspected insurance fraud on the Insurance Commissioner’s website.

Kirkland hospital named among 2015 Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems

EvergreenHealth has been recognized as “Most Im-proved” in the 2015 Health Care’s Most Wired survey from the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum and the College of Health-care Information Manage-ment Executives (CHIME). � is marks the � rst time EvergreenHealth has ap-peared in the prestigious annual survey published by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.

For 17 years, the Most Wired survey has bench-marked the information technology (IT) use and adoption among hospi-tals and health systems nationwide. � e survey of more than 741 participants, representing more than 2,213 organizations, measured IT excellence across four focus areas including infrastruc-ture, business and adminis-

trative management, clinical quality and safety and clinical integration. Organizations designated as “Most Im-proved” are those that have demonstrated signi� cant improvement in IT practices from the previous to current survey period.

“Technology is rapidly evolving the way we care for, interact with and provide the best experience and outcomes possible for our patients,” said Evergreen-Health CEO Bob Malte. “We are constantly looking to identify opportunities where we can apply technology to help us improve. Streamlin-ing our patient portal to make it easier for patients to enroll and developing a process for gathering quality data from a large network of providers and reporting that back in a shared electronic quality dashboard are a few of the many technologies implemented at Evergreen-Health in the past year to bene� t patients.”

EvergreenHealth joins 17 other Washington State organizations recognized by the survey, six of which are located in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area.

Most recently, the integrated two-hospital health system serving northern King and southern Snohomish coun-ties, achieved Stage 6 of the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model.

A full copy of the 2015 Most Wired survey is available in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks or online at www.hhnmag.com.

LWSD receives clean audit

� e Washington State Auditor’s O� ce issued two reports in late May concern-ing Lake Washington School District. � e district had no � ndings of noncompliance on either the accountability audit report or the � nancial and federal audit report. � is is the sixth consecutive year the district has earned both accountability and � nancial audits free of � ndings. Both reports covered the district’s last � scal year, September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.

� e highlights in the � nancial section noted that general fund reported an increase in revenues of close to 8 percent to $251.6 million. Expenses rose by about 6% over the previous

year, to $247.7 million. Both increases were in� uenced by continuing growth in student enrollment. � ere were over 800 more students in the district in 2013-14 than the year before.

� e � nancial audit as-sesses the District’s � nancial statements and processes, using governmental auditing standards. � e accountability audit examines how well the District complies with its own policies, as well as state and federal laws. � e ac-countability report examines areas representing the high-est risk of noncompliance, misappropriation or misuse.

“Our business services o� ce is committed to the e� cient management and use of taxpayer funds,” noted Janene Fogard, Deputy Su-perintendent for Operations. “� e � nancial oversight required of a $250 million operation with multiple sites is complex. � ese audit results re� ect the integrity of our district and accountabil-ity to the community.”

� e full reports are posted on the Washington State Au-ditor’s website and the Lake Washington School District

website. All district audits from 2005 through 2014 are available.

PSE customers with solar arrays reaches 3,000

Even with a reputation of gray skies in western Wash-ington, solar energy works. More and more Puget Sound Energy electric customers are turning to solar arrays to help generate clean, renew-able energy at their homes, businesses and public build-ings. As of this week, that number hit 3,000.

“Solar equipment has become increasingly af-fordable, and that’s a main reason we’re seeing a greater number of customers deter-mining now’s a good time to make the investment,” said Jake Wade, manager of PSE’s solar program. “And the bene� ts can be seen im-mediately.”

In PSE’s service area, residential customers make up roughly 90 percent of those with solar arrays; the remaining 10 percent are commercial properties and municipal locations, such as a library or a city building.

• Solar arrays have been producing power daily in the PSE service area since 2000.

• PSE now adds � ve or more new solar systems to the power grid every day.

• Solar is increasing in all eight of PSE’s electric service counties, with Kittitas, What-com and Island counties adding the most per capita.

• King County just topped 1000 solar arrays; Island County has just over 200; and Kittitas recently topped 100.

• PSE’s leading solar com-munity -- by a wide margin -- is Bellingham with 427 solar arrays.

• Altogether, PSE’s solar customers have installed nearly 20 megawatts of solar modules, which is enough to cover 26 football � elds. � e electricity output meets the annual power needs of roughly 1,600 homes.

Customers with solar arrays are a part of PSE’s net metering program, which can help cut their energy costs. A portion of the electricity generated by the photovol-taic (PV) modules can be fed back into PSE’s power grid, creating credits for the customer. Another incentive is a state production payment program, which is adminis-tered by PSE. � e incentive runs through 2020, and PSE estimates paying more than $5 million to solar customers this summer.

A Prize Ride is an organized trail ride with a marked route. Riders collect cards along the way from Cowgirl Spirit volun-

teers. At the end, the rider with the best “hand” wins. It’s a casual, easygoing ride - no racing or wild riding.

“� is has been a fun and successful fundraiser for us in the past, and we know it will be the same for this year” said the orga-nization’s Vice President Belinda Jensen. “Come enjoy time with your horse on these beautiful, easy trails and make some new friends while supporting this important local cause.”

Participants can arrive early and warm their horse up in the practice arena and enjoy free co� ee and donuts. A� er the ride, lunch is available for pur-chase, along with a ra� e. Games will be set up in the Bridle Trails arena.

To attend the ride, par-ticipants must pre-register at www.CowgirlSpirit.org. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Reg-istrations received before Aug. 9 will receive a free t-shirt. Proceeds will bene� t the organization’s horses, rescued from slaughter and neglect.

Volunteers are still needed to assist at the event. Cowgirl Spirit is also collecting ra� e donations.

Cowgirl Spirit can arrange for pick up of donated items or donors can also mail items to the group at Cowgirl Spirit Equine Rescue, P.O. Box 2054, Woodinville, WA

98072, and a receipt will be sent back.

For more information on volunteering or donating to the ra� e for this event, contact o� [email protected].

Saint Edwards Park opened its gates and grassy knolls to some

visitors across the Atlantic ‘pond’ on July 25 as the All British Field Meet (ABFM) held its annual car show and swap meet on the bound-ary between Kirkland and Kenmore.

Car enthusiasts, of the UK-variety, clamored for space at the ABFM and for the opportunity to represent what their brand had to o� er, even DeLoreans representing Ireland and Aurora Cobras representing Canada came out to the park to partake of British motoring culture.

“It’s been a wonderful day, the rains held o� mostly, but being a British car show, that was rather � tting,” said Gary Cavett, the owner of a 1981 Delorean.

“I found my DeLorean through DeLorean Mo-tor Cars Northwest [DMC Northwest],” Cavett said. “I’ve had it a number of weeks, but I’ve been looking for a number of years. It’s a lot of fun.

DMC Northwest, located in Bellevue, is one of six DMC locations worldwide, most of which are in the US.

Of course, it’s not just about celebrating the cars people from the British Isles

have produced, but also about celebrating history and heritage of car culture.

“It was ‘62 when my grandfather bought this car as a wreck - a total - and he designed this body for his car; his design, his sheetmetal work,” said Michael Ibson, owner of a 1960 Tri-umph TR3 custom.

� e car had gone to other family members until it was garaged and found its way to Ibson.

“He did several cars through the years, but this is the one we’ve been able to keep in the family,” Ibson said. “He was an engineer,

a garage-based engineer without training, but what’s interesting is the little things he did on this car that I’m � nding. Just the little things

he would design and build that remind me of him.”

Of course, there’s also car culture, too, and celebrating the work that each and every person puts into their cars.

“I restored it from the ground up, including the bodywork, paint, mechani-cal - everything,” said John Wolslegle, owner of a TVR Vixen. “Just the joy it gives me, it’s such a unique body style and shape, it’s just a lot

of fun to look at.”Woslogle trailered his

TVR several hundred miles to get to the ABFM, but it was well worth heading down the road for the event.

“� is is my � rst time to this meet, it’s low key and a lot of great cars here, so I was very happy that I came,” Woslogle said.

� e heritage of British vehicles is long; it’s not just about the nation, but the journeys that these vehicles take us to.

“Since we le� South Africa… Since we arrived in Uruguay we’ve done about 60,000 miles because we circumnavigated South America, most of those

countries we went to twice,” said Graham Robert Bell, owner of a 2003 Land Rover Defender with a tent on the top, who is globetrotting with his wife, his 16-year-old son and his 10-year-old daughter.

“We really enjoyed most of them. It’s di� cult to pinpoint one. Brazil was fantastic, Columbia was amazing, Bolivia was mindblowing and the United States has been something fantas-tic,” Bell said. “One of my favorite places would be a co� ee growing town called

Cocarelle in Brazil, the kids went to school there and it was very peaceful.”

While they do miss South Africa, they still have a ways yet to go. � ey need to arrive in Alaska and head back out before the next month.

“We’re from South Africa, what do we know about snow?” Bell said. “I’m look-ing forward to the beer at the end of it, to celebrate, but from Alaska the idea is to get the LandRover back around through the US, maybe Mexico, for the winter.”

He’d like to head back up to Newfoundland, in the Northeast of North America, then ship the Defender to Greenland, then to Europe to tour around for a while.

To purchase their book, “We Will be Free”, please search on Amazon.com.

For one family, the ABFM was part of the trip, which started three years ago in South America, for others, the ABFM was a celebration of all things British Motor-ing.

DelBene honored for support of National Parks

Congresswoman Su-zan DelBene received the Friend of the National Parks Award from the nonpartisan National Parks Conserva-tion Association (NPCA) on July 15. � is award recog-nizes DelBene’s votes during the 113th Congress which contributed to the protec-tion and enhancement of America’s national parks.

“I am truly grateful to be among those recognized by the National Parks Conserva-tion Association,” DelBene said. “Protecting our national parks is vital to preserving the quality of life we cherish in the Paci� c Northwest for future generations. Wash-ington’s First Congressional District is home to some of

our country’s most beautiful open spaces – from Alpine Lakes Wilderness to the North Cascades National Park – and I will continue to be a friend of the national parks as we continue to grow and expand our park system.”

� is year, NPCA tracked votes for � ve national park-related votes in the House of Representatives. To receive the award, representatives needed to vote in favor of na-tional parks on at least three of scored bills and DelBene is proud to have exceeded this requirement.

“It’s an honor to recognize Congress-woman DelBene for sup-porting our nation-al parks on the � oor of the House during the 113th Congress,” said NPCA President and CEO Clark Bunting. “As the 114th Congress works on policies and funding levels impacting our national parks, I look forward to working with Congresswoman DelBene to ensure national parks have safe roadways, are well maintained, and have the resources they need to thrive for their upcoming centen-nial.”
