A � re destroyed a home and two vehicles Monday

night on North Rose Hill in Kirkland. Fire� ghters were able to gain control of the blaze but a male resident in his 60s was taken to Evergreen Hospi-tal with smoke inhalation. No � re� ghters were hurt during the event and the

� re’s cause is under inves-tigation.

“We were in bed reading when I heard a crackling and I thought they were having a barbecue,” said Lyman Petersen, who lives next door. “I saw the � ames in the garage.”

Rose Marie Petersen said she will never forget looking past her curtains.

� e Lake Washington High School drill team is tak-ing two tragedies and turning them into hope - and helping to ful� ll a dream.

� e team’s drill coach, Lindsey Beck, underwent surgery for a spinal tumor three years ago. � at ex-perience came seven years a� er a cancer-survivor, studying dance therapy, died in New York. � e two tragedies will intertwine next Friday.

� e Kang drill team will host a performance from nine dance teams across Washington State to raise money for Dréa’s Dream at 7 p.m. on Aug. 24 at Lake Washington High School.

Dréa’s Dream is a nonpro� t organization dedicated to helping children with cancer or special needs through dance therapy.

“It’s an important contri-bution that our community can make for an important goal,” said Mary Stephenson, publicity chair.

She expects 150 to 200 people will attend.

Andréa (Dréa) Rizzo’s dream stems from a passion for dance during a rough time in her life: overcoming childhood cancer. She even-tually began to work toward her goals when she started taking classes for a master’s degree in dance therapy at New York University. But then, Rizzo was killed by a drunk driver in 2002 at age 24.

Despite the sorrow of Rizzo’s unful� lled goals, her mother created the Andréa Rizzo Foundation to achieve

Kirkland woman charged in DUI crashBY MATT PHELPS

A 42-year-old Kirkland woman was formally charged with vehicular homicide and three counts of vehicu-lar assault on Friday. Kelly Hudson remains in the King County Jail a� er bail was set at $500,000 on Aug. 9 in King County Superior Court.

Hudson is suspected of driving while under the in� uence of alcohol and prescription drugs, crossing the center line on Kirkland’s Juanita Drive, killing Joyce Parsons, 81, of Kirkland and injuring three other people on Aug. 7.

Her arraignment is set for Aug. 23 at the King County Courthouse.

Hudson was allegedly trav-eling south in a blue minivan on Juanita Drive when a woman in a car following her called 911 to report that she was driving erratically and failed to stop for a stop sign. While on the phone with dis-patch the woman witnessed Hudson cross the center line “as though to pass tra� c” and hit a silver Toyota Prius head-on, according to court documents.

� e Kirkland-based host team, Washington District 9, will continue onto the semi-� nals of the Junior League So� ball World Series today around 5 p.m. � e Kirkland American and National Little League players are the only team in their bracket to win two pool games as of Wednesday morning. Past

years have proven to be dif-� cult for the host team, but this year there is an obvious change.

“Kirkland is de� nitely looking good. � ere’s no rea-son they can’t compete, they just need to put their mind to it and forget about the stu� on the side,” said tournament director John Chadwick.

Head coach Nolan Radke said in order to win the world series the girls will

have to keep improving on basic things such as hitting, catching and running, but one thing has stood out - the pitching.

� irteen-year-old Tori Bivens said she’s been preparing “since the � rst districts game.”

“Just being here is extraordinary,” said Bivens. “It’s phenomenal to compete with the best teams in the world.”

� e team is primarily made up of 13-year-olds, which, Chadwick said, gives them a disadvantage while competing with girls a year older.

However, other teams have disadvantages as well.

“Prague has a di� erent system, a strong club system with the Prague Baseball Club,” said Chadwick. But unfortunately, many of the

ers were the � rst on the scene. � ree people in separate cars behind the Prius, and a second car behind the minivan, also witnessed the crash, the documents continued.

Emergency personnel had to cut open the Prius, which was completely o� the roadway, to get Arthur Kamm, 85, Daniel

her daughter’s dream and help others. Now, the orga-nization has helped children nationwide.

“It is an honor and a privilege to support the Andréa Rizzo Foundation,” said Beck. “We want to bring smiles to the faces of fragile children and added joy to their hearts. We are proud and excited to make Dréa’s Dream come true through this important fundraiser.”

But Beck, who attended Lake Washington High School, did not pick Dréa’s Dream at random.

Three years ago, when Beck was just 25, she was diagnosed with a heman-gioma (tumor) in her spinal cord. After major neurosur-gery and intense physical therapy, Beck was able to greet her drill team during the drill state championship for which they won. Beck won Coach of the Year as well.

Beck said her own ex-periences with undergoing physical therapy, her love of dance and her hemangioma all compelled her to find Dréa’s Dream.

“Because of what I had been through personally, I found this organization that combined both my passion for dance and therapy,” said Beck.

And connecting that pas-sion to giving back through dance therapy is her goal.

“It is important for our girls to come together to give back to the community in a non-competitive way,” said Beck.

Although this is the Kang’s first year fundrais-ing for Dréa’s Dream, Beck says it won’t be their last. She expects it will become an annual event and, as a result, hopes Dréa’s Dream dance therapy will branch to the Children’s Hospital.

“By raising $5000, we’ve already started the ball roll-ing,” said Beck.

The goal is to reach $10,000 with a combined ef-fort of the other nine teams. However, according to the Kang’s FirstGiving website the Kang’s have already raised just over $6,500.

The Kangs will be danc-ing on the Lake Washington High School football field hosted by Emerald City Productions. Junior Kangs (5th through 8th grade) will have a chance to dance and learn the drill routines with current members. The event will include burgers by Buns and ice cream sandwiches from Sweet Wheels for an extra cost.

A minimum donation of $5 is required for admis-sion.

[ dream from page 1 ] [ dUI from page 1] ers were the first on the scene. Three people in two separate cars behind the Pri-us, and a third car behind the minivan, also witnessed the crash, the documents continued.

Emergency personnel

had to cut open the Prius, which was completely off the roadway, to get Arthur Kamm, 85, Daniel J. Grieshaber, 72, Jenny L. Grieshaber, 69, along with Parsons, out of the vehicle. Parsons, who was sitting behind Kamm, according to

charging documents, died on scene.

When officers ap-proached the blue minivan they contacted Hudson and noticed signs of intoxica-tion including the smell of alcohol on her breath, droopy, watery, bloodshot

eyes and slurred speech, the documents continued.

Hudson allegedly told officers that prior to driving she had taken an anti-anxiety medication with wine, according to police documents.

Kamm and Jenny Grie-shaber were transported to Harborview in critical con-dition. Kamm had internal bleeding, while Grieshaber sustained a broken neck. Daniel J. Grieshaber was transported to Evergreen Hospital with a broken arm, among other injuries.

Hudson submitted to a blood draw while at the hospital to determine the level of alcohol or drugs in her blood stream. The results of that test are pending, according to court documents.

Kirkland Police Lt. Mike

Murray said that neighbors of Hudson told detectives she was seen hitting a large rock in her driveway with her minivan as she at-tempted to drive the vehicle out to the road sometime Tuesday. The crash was violent enough to rip the bumper off the minivian but the vehicle still drove away. Hudson lives a little more than a mile from the scene of the accident in the Finn Hill neighborhood.

Hudson has no criminal record but has received eight traffic violations in the last five years, according to court documents.

“She is a danger to the community, especially on the road,” said the prosecut-ing attorney Amy J. Freed-heim in court documents.

University of Washington Husky-themed sports bar, Dub Pub, will begin hosting KJR Sports Talk radio and Dawgman.com live shows every Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. starting Aug. 22.

“� ey’re going to be broadcasting a combination of things,” said co-owner Jus-tin Boyd. “� ey’re going to be talking about the games in the week before, and the players that are going to be recruited to the team and how they’re performing. As well as the high school foot-ball that goes on around here too because they have such a following.”

Boyd exclaimed that Dawgman.com has about 4,000 followers and that the � rst time they had a live broadcast, back in June, just under 70 people attended. � e shows are projected to last through the end of foot-ball season - about 16 weeks.

Not only is this sports bar an obvious Husky-stomp-ing-ground with Husky memorabilia strategically placed, but customers are greeted with a large purple ‘W’-shaped table that could � t the starting lineup upon � rst entrance.

Brett Brophy, co-owner of

the sports bar and restaurant, said he wanted to make a big statement with the gigantic piece of furniture.

“We really want to em-phasize pub University of Washington. But the funny thing is people don’t even notice it, which blows me away,” said Brophy.

Dub Pub opened three months ago when Brophy and Boyd decided to expand business to Kirkland a� er Danny’s Pub closed in the same location. But also because Kirkland seems to like its purple and gold, said Brophy.

“We know the demo-graphic of Washington Husky alumni is fairly heavy over here and, plus, you have the Bothell campus over here,” said Brophy.

Boyd and Brophy grew up major husky fans. As youth they both lived around Mountlake Terrace.

“I was born and raised around husky game days,” said Boyd.

Brophy owns another sports bar, Ringer’s Pub, which focuses more on the Mariners and other local teams. But he said if they were to expand Dub Pub, they’d probably locate it around the U-District and keep the same name.

As for the future of the Kirkland Dub Pub, a pos-sible autograph signing may be in the future.

“We’d really like to get in-volved with some of the old players and get them in here to be able to meet some of our customers and do some signing,” said Brophy.

Brophy said possible can-didates for the autograph-signings include Steve Emt-man, Marques Tuiasosopo and Don James.

Boyd and Brophy say business is going well and that they are concentrating on emphasizing the food they provide as “upper-end.”

“Most of the time you think, ‘oh, it’s just a sports bar’ but this is a really great place to eat,” said Boyd. “It just happens to be we have all of these TV’s and tons of liquor.”

Dub Pub is located at 11516 124th Ave. N.E. in the Totem Lake neighborhood.

and the cars were on fire as well,” she said. “I am aston-ished we are sitting here this morning.

“We heard pops and they rattled the windows and that was when we got out of the house.”

Firefighters received the call at 10:06 p.m. Firefighters from Kirkland, Redmond and Bothell responded to the blaze.

“When we got there the entire structure was on fire” said Kirkland Fire Battalion Chief Joe Sanford. “We tried to protect the exposures (sur-rounding area) first. We were also concerned about the structural stability.”

As a result, Sanford said that firefighters used the ladder truck to get above the home in order to spray water onto the blaze in a safe manner.

Rose Marie said that a man and his two sons live in the home. One of the sons told her that he was able to get out through the front door and he thought the fire began in the garage.

“It spread amazingly fast,” said Lyman.

Adjacent homes, including the Petersen’s, are fairly close to the home where the fire began. Large fir trees, along with the dry weather, also increased the threat of the fire spreading. Firefighters worked to make sure the trees did not catch on fire as well.

“Thank God Lyman hosed down the garden last night,” said Rose Marie.

Sanford said that August can be a dangerous time of the year and many fires are started because of the dry conditions.

“The dryness is always an issue, especially when you have a couple of weeks with 80 degrees or more,” said Sanford. “The moisture level in plants is so low. We were really watching the trees. We didn’t want a Roman Candle situation.”

One of the adjacent homes had damage to the backyard grass but no other structures were damaged.

“We had a live power line drop and that may have set the grass on fire,” said Sanford.

The Petersens said that they were let back into their home at 11:30 p.m. but like many of their neighbors were cautious about going to sleep.

“The firefighters said that they would be around all night but we slept in the liv-ing room,” said Lyman.

Rose Marie said that there was another house fire about five years ago, just two blocks away.

“We don’t know how safe it is around here any more,” said Rose Marie.

Support McAuliffe in November

I read with interest two recent letters to the editor related to the candidates running for the Dis-trict 1 state rep position. I agree with the writers that Dawn Mc-Cravey and Rosemary McAuliffe represent very different choices for this district.

I am proud to be a teacher in the Northshore school district, and grateful for the thoughtful leadership provided by Rosemary McAuliffe on education issues. Some may consider it a problem that she does not support charter schools, but I, and my colleagues, support Rosemary McAuliffe’s stance on this question.

As professionals, teachers wel-come an evaluation system that is rigorous, fair, substantive, and tied to our performance and that of our students. Such a system for both teachers and princi-pals is now in implementation

stages. For those who fear that the teacher union protects bad teachers (despite the fact that as a group we do not want to protect our jobs at all costs, nor do we welcome working alongside non-performing teachers), the new evaluation system is an appropriate and supportive response to teachers who need inter-ventions in order to meet standard.

Charter schools are not the “magic bullet” solution to under-performing schools that those outside the field would like to believe. They are businesses that may or may not be run in a man-ner that best addresses educa-tional high standards. Studies have shown that in comparing charter schools to public schools, a larger percentage of charter schools perform worse rather than better, and most perform around the same. They may or may not provide professional

development for teachers which is critical to the outcomes for students, may or may not have good curriculum support or curriculum that is non-biased,

do not have economy of scale when it comes to adminis-

trative support, and have little oversight. At best, I find this kind of solution to low performing public

schools a risky and expen-sive experiment.

A recent conversation with a charter school teacher from Phoenix confirmed my worst fears. He noted that the teachers in his school were consistently threatened with losing their jobs if they didn’t like directives, were given a 15 percent pay cut at the end of the year due to cost over-runs, and had no professional development or curriculum guid-ance. Needless to say, morale was at an all time low and those who could (including him), jumped ship. Obviously, students were

negatively impacted. No one can perform to optimum standards in a threatening, and non-support-ive negative environment.

I’m thankful for Rosemary McAuliffe’s work in support-ing teachers, rather than blindly blaming teacher unions. We are the resource that most affects your child’s education. A rigor-ous evaluation system, strong curriculum support, continuing professional development, along with fully funding education, will go a long way toward improving education in our state. This is the kind of leadership that has been provided by Rosemary McAu-liffe. My hope is that voters will not embrace the charter school solution, and those who sup-port them. I believe the future of education in Washington State is at stake.Jennie Knapp, Kirkland

Too many times during the last year have we read the words “DUI, vehicular homicide” in the pages of the Kirk-

land Reporter. It would be too much if it was written just once. Writing those words means that someone innocent, just going about their normal day-to-day life, paid the price for someone else’s carelessness and sel� shness. And each time it could have been any Kirk-land resident. All three incidents in the last year have occurred on main thoroughfares in Kirkland. Two of the three occurred at times when most people are out running errands or enjoying time away from work.

� e most recent occurred on Juanita Drive at 8:45 p.m. on Aug. 7. � e wreck took the life of Kirkland resident Joyce Parsons, 81. She, her brother and friends were coming home from an Argosy Cruise on the waters of Lake Washington. And while Parsons’ family comes to grips with the passing of their loved one, the rest of us read about it in the local media. For most, the realization of where and when the accident took place holds an impression. We realize that could have been our sister, brother or friend. Juanita Drive, just like N.E. 124th Street and N.E. 85th in downtown Kirkland before it, now holds a great signi� cance for Kirkland residents. � ey may now hold some trepidation.

Juanita Drive is traveled by thou-sands of cars each day, not to mention hundreds of bicycles and some runners. It has no sidewalks. A cyclist was also killed on the road last summer in a non-DUI related accident.

Some have blamed the police - somehow if there were more patrols on the road the DUI vehicular homicide incident would not

have happened. I do believe that if there was a police o� cer patrolling at that exact mo-ment maybe the incident would have been

prevented. But the police cannot be everywhere. Finn Hill residents have complained, since annexation, about the number of police cars patrolling the area as well. I personally travel that road every day and there are weeks when I see multiple patrol cars on duty, keeping the road safe. � ere are months when I see no patrol cars. And yet, they can’t be there all the

time.I have heard some complaints that the

speed limit is too high. � at 35 mph is too much for a hilly road with so many curves and cyclists. But we need to remember that the blame for these accidents rests with one per-

son and one person only. Finn Hill resident Kelly Hudson is innocent until proven guilty. She is the woman who allegedly slammed her minivan into the Prius in which Parsons was riding. She supposedly told o� cers that she took medication with wine earlier that day. If convicted she will lose her freedom.

Nathan Jeremie Godwin of Redmond is awaiting his day in court for being charged with killing Kirkland cyclist Bradley Nakatani. Patrick Rexroat also got his time in court and was found guilty of DUI vehicular homicide in March.

We have to remember that we are all responsible for our own actions. � e people responsible for these horri� c incidents are those who choose to drink and drive. � ey are the people convicted in a court of law, and no one else.

Cat and dog own-ers might want to consider checking

up on the status of their pet license. Late fees apply a� er the annual duration of a pet license. With summer being a popular time for pet adoption, many Kirkland pet owners may � nd themselves looking at a bill, which could range $15 to $30 or more.

Pet owners have 45 days until the � rst late fee and then it gradually increases in cost as the days grow.

Marie Stake, communica-tions manager for Kirkland City Hall, said city hall has been working from a list of about 300 expired pet licens-es in which they call the pet owners to remind them of an end-of-the-month deadline. She said she received the list from King County on July 23 and will likely receive another list during the third week of August.

If a pet is discovered to be unlicensed, pet owners could face a $125 fee for spayed or neutered pets and a $250 fee

for unaltered pets. Animal Control o� cers check the status of pet licenses when they respond to animal-related complaints. Regional Animal Services of King County periodically “can-vass” neighborhoods in per-son to verify pet licenses as well as “spot patrols” in dog parks. Otherwise, licensing is a voluntary compliance.

“Overall, 19 percent or about 8,200 pets in Kirkland are licensed, which is slightly higher than the RASKC (Regional Animal Services of King County) service area average of 18 percent,” said Cameron Satter� eld, com-munications manager for the King County Department of Executive Services. “Of course, we would like for that number to be 100 percent, and we’re working to increase pet licensing.”

Since January 1, Satter� eld said 4,501 pets were licensed in Kirkland, which shows a positive trend compared to last year’s � gures (2,955) in the same time frame.

But that trend might not be as positive as it seems because last year Kirkland

annexed 30,000 people with many pets to follow.

“We don’t have an exact census of pets in Kirkland city limits, but based on a formula from the American Veterinary Medical Associa-tion, we estimate there are 43,000 pets in Kirkland,” said Satter� eld.

Dr. Judy Hung, veterinar-ian for Eastside Veterinary Associates said licensing is important but in the case of lost animals, the microchip and licensing combination is the most e� ective in � nding their homes.

Eastside Veterinary As-sociates o� ers microchip-ping for roughly $65, which includes the piercing fee, the actual microchip and the registration with the micro-chip’s company. Hung said her microchips belong with Home Again.

When animals are brought into Eastside Veterinary Associates, many don’t have identities, but if they do, the contact information on their microchip is outdated.

“� e goal is to try to reunite the pet quickly with the owner whether they have a license or not,” said Hung.

But even if a cat or dog has both, the process of � nding owners can range between three to � ve hours. Hung said the veterinary clinic is not obligated to reunite the pets but they do it because of the “huge burden” lost pets face.

When the clinic is presented with lost animals they are sent to King County animal control. Hung said her clinic is not required to disclose whether the pet is licensed or not.

Pet owners are promised certain bene� ts from the

$15-to-$60 license.If a licensed, lost pet is

found by RASKC o� cials, they are reunited with their owner via a “free ride home” for their � rst time. If by some chance the licensed pet makes it to the Pet Adoption Center, they will be cared for longer before being put up for adoption.

When pet owners go on vacation Animal Services guarantees it to be stress free. If owners sign up for the Va-cation Pet Alert they will be noti� ed if their pet escapes.

In addition to personal bene� ts, Satter� eld claims the fees help support return-ing strays to their owners, � nding new homes for

homeless cats and dogs and funding investigations of animal cruelty.

Animal services encour-ages all pet owners to license their pets - even if they’re indoor.

“Animals who stay indoors do need licensing and micro-chips, as well, because they can escape,” said Hung.

Hung has two licensed, indoor cats.

When pet owners pur-chase licenses, permanent steel tags that should “last the lifetime of a pet” are provided.

Licenses are sold at more than 100 locations in King County, including Kirkland City Hall.

Holmberg company upgrades KITH Salisbury Court

Twenty employees and family from Holmberg

Company employees replaced plumbing in kitchen and bathrooms of four apartments. � ey also replaced three decks and painted one apartment in preparation for a homeless family to move in soon.

� e group completed yard work to make the property look tidy and inviting. KITH Executive Director Jan Dickerman o� ered hearty thanks to the enthusias-tic and skilled team from Holmberg Plumbing, led by the company president Je� White, for all they were able to complete to enhance the lives of vulnerable people.

Founded in 1989, KITH is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization which assists individuals and families on the Eastside who are facing a homelessness crisis by providing housing and ser-vices to help families become stable and self-su� cient. For more information visit www.kithcares.org.

Evergreen seeks volunteers

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care is actively seeking compassionate community members to join 200-plus volunteers who have the ful-� lling experience of provid-ing assistance at the hospice center in Kirkland and at patient homes throughout King and Snohomish coun-ties.

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care volunteers provide comfort and support to patients and families living

with terminal illness in homes, skilled-nursing facili-ties, assisted-living facilities and adult family homes and at the hospice center.

Priscilla Wiest is one such volunteer, having worked in every aspect of the EvergreenHealth hospice program since 2005.

“� e experience you have with the patients and their families during this transi-tion time in their lives is very much a learning process for the volunteer and the patient. It doesn’t have to be a sad time; rather, it’s o� en a time of re� ection,” said Wi-est. “Every day I volunteer, I learn something new, and that keeps my mind open to learning new things in the future. � e sta� are also so appreciative of the time you spend with the patients.”

EvergreenHealth Hospice Care has many available opportunities for Eastside community members to join

the Wiests and the rest of the hospice volunteers, includ-ing roles such as:

• Visiting with patients at either the hospice center or in the patient’s home

• Calling patients at home to make sure they’re “tucked in” for the weekend

• Providing brief respite care for families

• Greeting and guiding hospice center visitors

• Assisting with volunteer training

• Serving comfort items such as blankets for patients

Hospice Care volunteers must be at least 18 years old and are asked for a one-year commitment of up to four hours per week.

To learn more about volunteering with Hospice Care, visit the volunteer pages of the Evergreen-Health website or contact Criss East at (425) 899-1049 or [email protected].

...healthy living

To our modern society plastic is one of the most useful and

versatile inventions. Every day practically everything we touch, eat or drink involves some sort of plastic. We buy our food in plastic bags and containers, we buy drinks and water in plastic jugs and bottles. Many of us use plastic plates and cups at home and store our le� overs in plastic containers. We wrap things in plastic wrap. We use plastic baggies for a variety of things. Plastic protects our phones, our books and important papers. Plastic lines the inside of canned foods for protection. Plastic has many useful applica-tions not just for our homes but also major industries as well. Medicine, computers, chemistry, culinary, dentistry, agriculture - the list goes on and on. Plastic has revolu-tionized our society.

Too much of a good thing is actually a� ecting our health. Have you ever tried to go a day without coming in to contact with plastic? It

is almost impossible. Plastic is a polymer, meaning a bunch of the same molecules loosely strung together with weak chemical bonds. � is allows some of the molecules

to break o� . All of our exposure to so much plastic is starting to interfere with our hormones. Many types of plas-tics have a “Xeno-estrogenic” e� ect in excess. Once we get too much in

our bodies we can begin to see hormonal imbalances in women and men that look like excess estrogen. � is can have many negative e� ects es-pecially on fertility, menstru-ation, growth and develop-ment, and overall health and well being. Xenoestrogens disrupt our normal endo-crine system and in women it has been implicated in breast cancer, endometriosis, and can even disrupt neural signaling during fetal growth. For men Xenoestrogens have an e� ect on testicular function, spermatic concen-tration, growth and motility. Environmentalists are even seeing a trend in � sh due to

so many Xenoestrogens from our waste water getting into streams. Male � sh are show-ing partial and compete sex reversal to female � sh.

� e most important expo-sure that we have control over is using plastic for food and water. Heating food in plastic containers is one of the worst ways. � e heating of the food in plastic allows the mole-cules to break o� more easily. Frozen vegetable packs that advertise putting the packs in the microwave to “steam” in the bag, frozen meals in plastic trays and pouches, and putting hot cooked food into a plastic container for storage or covering it with plastic wrap are all ways the plastics can adversely a� ect our health. Drinking water in plastic bottles also allows the harmful chemicals such as bisphenol-a, Polychlorinated biphenyl and phthalates to leach into the water as they can leach into food.

What can you do about it? Try to use as little plastic as possible in your daily life. Use Pyrex or other types of non-plastic containers for food storage and heating. Drink water out of glass or

stainless steel bottles. Use your own cloth grocery bags and produce bags instead of using the plastic ones. Limit or avoid frozen meals and

processed foods. Don’t mi-crowave or heat anything that is plastic. Try to eat as little canned food as possible. By implementing these simple easy changes it will not only help your own health but the health of the planet as well.

Keep your allergies in check

The United States Department of Agri-culture (USDA) has

predicted substantial price increases for numerous food items in 2013, if not sooner, due to the devastat-ing impact of the current drought on farms across the country. According to its latest Food Price Outlook, the agency expects prices to go up substantially, especially for meat and poultry because of reduced inventory and higher feed expenses.

Average beef prices are already 6.9 percent above last year’s. Steaks cost 8.1 percent and ground beef 7.3 percent more than 12 months ago. The price of chicken is now 4.2 percent higher, and turkey is a whopping 8.3 percent more expensive. Consumers will also have to pay more for eggs and dairy products. Even fats and oils are becoming more costly due to surging corn and soybean prices.

There has already been some speculation whether the impending sticker shock will cause Americans to change their food preferences

from a mostly meat-centered to a more plant-based diet. Since prices for fresh fruit and vegetables have steadily been climbing over the last few years and are unafford-

able as they are now for many families on a tight budget, it is not likely that we are going to see a mass conversion to vegetarianism, not even close. If anything, Ameri-

cans will look even harder for the biggest bang for their buck, and that, in many cases, means fast food, pizza, snacks and other low-cost eats.

Most Americans are aware, to varying degrees, that their eating habits are less than ideal and may cause many serious health problems, including obesity, diabetes and heart disease. According to one study, pub-lished in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly American Dietetic Association), only about 20 percent of Ameri-cans who were asked why they ate fast food said they thought it was healthy and nutritious. Still, the popular-ity of fast food remains as

high as ever. It’s an attractive choice compared to other kinds of food, including home cooked meals, because it’s convenient, inexpensive, tasty and fun.

In any case, changing deeply ingrained habits such as our food preferences is extremely hard to do. People form their likes and dislikes early in life and they stick to them unless they are forced to make changes for compelling reasons such as bad health. That’s why the fast food industry spends so much money on marketing to children to turn them into lifetime customers, said Eric Schlosser, author of “Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal” (HarperCollins, 2002) in an interview with CBS News.

Also, many of the ingredi-ents in fast food (as in almost all processed foods) have been identified as addictive. Salt, fat and sugar are hard to wean oneself from once a taste for them has been established. For many of us, undoing all that would require changing our entire food environment, accord-ing to Dr. Simone French, director of the Obesity Prevention Center at the University of Minnesota. That has consequences not only for what we eat but also how much we eat. “We’ve gotten desensitized about supersized portions,” said Dr. French in an interview with the Star Tribune. “There is no moderation in our food environment.”

At least, not yet, one might say. Perhaps there will be one positive aspect to rising prices, namely a chance to rethink our attitude toward the value of food, real food that is, and a commitment to quality over quantity and convenience.

Will rising food prices change America’s eating habits?

49-year-old Kirkland man trains to conquer the English ChannelBY MJ HOECHERL

UW News Lab

Mike Humphreys has dreamed about swimming the English Channel ever since he � ew over it in a plane as a child. � e 49-year-old Kirkland man has had a passion for swim-ming—among other vigorous outdoor ac-tivities including hiking, bicycling and running marathons—throughout his life. Why? His explanation is simple: He does it because he believes he can.

Humphreys moved to Kirkland in 2001 to work for Microso� a� er living all over the world - including Austria, India, New York, Florida and Atlanta. He has attempted to swim the Channel three times before, in 2006, 2008 and 2010. � e massive body of water is a 350-mile-wide stretch of the Atlantic Ocean that runs between England and France. Humphreys added that only 1,400 people have ever completed the English Channel swim.

“I was ready and waiting in Dover in the summer of 2011 [to try again],” he said, “but the weather never cleared su� ciently to make an attempt, so I came home empty-handed without even getting wet.” But that didn’t stunt Hum-phreys’ determination. He’s eager to complete the swim because, in his words, it’s “the top swim

in the world.”On days when the

weather allows here in the Northwest, Humphreys typically swims three to four times a week to prepare for the Channel, cross-training on o� days, and taking only one to two days o� every two weeks. He does this year-round—and yes, that also means in the middle of winter when the tem-perature is less than 40 degrees in waters such as Lake Washington, Bellingham Bay and else-where in the Puget Sound. He usually begins a day of training around 6 a.m., a brisk time even during the summer for climate in the Paci� c Northwest. Not many are motivated enough to brave such elements, though they are readily available to us in

our area. A “short” swim for

Humphreys’ training is a minimum of four hours, according to Microso� co-worker Tim Duerr, who sometimes lends his boat or accompanies Humphreys on his train-ing days.

“Being from the UK, I am aware of just how special this swim is, with not many success-ful attempts,” Du-

err said, “and I think his drive and determina-

tion will see him success-ful this time round. He seems to be increasingly � ne-tuning his nutrition; staying hydrated and nourished on the swim seems to be a challenge for anyone attempting the Channel.”

Arne Anderson, a long-time friend who also pro-vides a boat to assist in

training, adds that Hum-phreys puts in the time to train for the Channel not only physically, but also mentally by learning all that he can about its his-tory and networking with others who have defeated it. Humphreys has even written a book that will be published a� er his upcoming swim about the swimmers, crews, Chan-nel boat pilots, and others he’s met along the way in his Channel expeditions.

“He researches the best way to train and over the years has built an impressive network of friends and colleagues of other channel swimmers and the army of people involved in their success,” said Anderson. “I think [he] takes a cold shower year round as part of his training for the Channel water temperature.” He added that Humphreys has also put on 20 extra pounds necessary for the swim as part of the nutritional aspect of his training.

Humphreys le� for England earlier this month. � ere, he will wait for clear weather until he is able to pursue the swim for what he hopes will be the last time. Kirkland may be in store for an Olympic-like champion of its own upon his return.

KIRKLANDSPORTS

rules aren’t the same as the U.S. Little League so� ball organization.

Chadwick said the Czech Republic has also had to deal with some language barriers.

But while the host team is younger, Chadwick said that if they were to stay on next year, they could be a “shoe in” because they’ve already competed at a world level.

Chadwick hopes that more people will show interest.

Just over two weeks ago, he estimated over 6,000 spectators would attend the Junior So� ball World Series. � e series brings people from all over the world, and yet, Chadwick explained Tuesday, “attendance has dropped about 20 percent” due to the poor economy and the Asia-Paci� c team dropping out.

Asia-Paci� c cancelled at the last minute, leaving the series with nine teams instead of the usual 10.

While he expects local turnout to grow during the semi� nals and � nals with Kirkland competing on the � nal two days, he said Mon-day’s game had 200 attendees out of the expected 400.

“� e economy is pinch-

ing,” said Chadwick, “which a� ects concession stands and everyone else.”

Despite low attendance, the World Series has been getting some special publicity. Chad-wick said the Seattle Mariners have been giving a “plug” at the end of every sixth inning and Honda has issued a public service announce-ment. And of course, ESPN will broadcast live during the semi� nals and � nals.

“(� e world series) has helped Kirkland so� ball because girls in the area can come and see the level they have to play at in order to be in the world series,” said Chadwick.

Having the host team be competitive during the past � ve or six years has also helped the Kirkland American and National Little Leagues grow as well as improve performance.

“Younger kids are excited to see how much fun it can be, and they want to be a part of that fun,” said Chadwick.

Scouts trek through NM Wilderness

A crew of teenage Scouts and their leaders from Kirk-land went on a summer trek through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M. Philmont covers 214 square

miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet. During their trek, Boy Scout

Troop 570 hiked between 60 and 80 miles over 10 days. With four crews of 11 and 12 boys each on the trip, that’s

over 3,200 total miles hiked.� e group of Scouts

and their advisors carried everything they needed to survive during the trek on their backs while hiking from camp to camp. � ey participated in backcountry programs along the way including rock climbing, mountain biking, � y-� shing and gold prospecting. � e trek included a conservation project where the Scouts learned and participated in the upkeep of Philmont’s ecosystem. Along the trek, Scouts endured tough chal-

lenges including backpacking in bear and mountain lion territory, steep climbs and o� en-inclement weather. Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s pre-mier high adventure camp and the largest youth camp in the world serving nearly one million participants since 1938.

When Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride walked out of her home on the morning of Aug. 9 to put her dogs out, she was greeted by more than 20 bright pink, plastic � amingos in her front yard.

McBride owns two small � amingos near her front door and, she said with a laugh, her � rst thoughts were: “How did they mul-tiply?”

But just beyond her fence sat a sign that read: “You’ve been � ocked! by the Kirkland Congregational Church.” McBride belongs to the church and has heard of one of the deacons get-ting “� ocked” a while back.

“It’s a fundraiser for our church,” said Terri Houla-han, the one in charge of � ocking. “We’re charging $15 for removal, $10 to send to friends and $25 for ‘anti� ocking’ insurance.”

Houlahan said the � ocking fees go toward the

church’s fundraiser, which help various outreach programs such as providing food for the homeless.

“It’s generating a lot of talk, which is exactly what we wanted to do,” said Houlahan.

Although Houlahan wouldn’t disclose who was up next on the list, she said they try to � ock every few days.

As for McBride, she’s thrilled.

“A construction worker came over here and said, ‘What the � ock?’” laughs McBride. “It’s kind of a very ‘Kirkland thing’ to do.”

McBride’s family along with neighbors all “love it” and she is still contemplat-ing whether she’ll take them down soon or not.
