State-of-the-art Lake Washington High School nearly completeBY PEYTON WHITELY
A new Lake Wash-ington High School almost is done.
Construction equipment still is working outside, demolishing the old school, but when the new school opens Sept. 6 for about 1,000 students, they’ll fi nd themselves in one of the most modern educational structures in the state.
“We want to see learning hap-pen,” said Forrest Miller, director of support services, as the new build-ing was shown at a preview Tuesday.
Th e particular feature Miller was showing was a viewing window looking into a spiff y music classroom, but other unparalleled features abound throughout the building - which really is a complex of fi ve structures built around things like a central cafete-ria and sunken gardens at 12033 N.E. 80th St.
Th at’s not to say the old Kang spirit has been put aside. Trophy cases promi-nently display reminders of past glories, a lifesize kan-garoo - the school mascot - stands inside the entryway,
and a wall in the cafeteria is made of fl ooring from the old basketball court.
It’s the array of 21st, or maybe 22nd, Century stuff that sets the tone for the school, however, construct-ed for about $85 million since 2009. Th e school was fi nanced as part of a $436 million 2006 bond measure.
An “energy kiosk” in the cafeteria shows things like how much power the
school is using. A grid of rooft op solar panels provides enough electricity to power six class-rooms. Th ere’s a geothermal heat-ing-and-ven-tilating system and burnished-concrete fl oors that never need polishing. And in the classes be-ginning in 2012, every student will get a net-book computer,
said Christina Th omas, principal.
“Next year, in 2012, everyone gets a netbook,” said Th omas. “We’re mov-ing to one-on-one comput-ing.” Th at means buying about 1,400 of these small computers.

Asher, Sternoff advance to generalCandidate hopeful Gardiner takes early lead, preliminary primary results showBY PEY TON WHITELY
Two incumbent Kirkland City Council members are headed for the November gener-al-election ballot, but one set of results from the Tuesday primary vote was remark-ably close.
Preliminary figures from the primary voting had Councilmem-bers Bob Sternoff and Dave Asher both going to the general election.
Sternoff, however, was narrowly outpolled in those primary results by a challenger, Jason Gar-
diner.The King
County elections division showed that 8,514 of Kirk-land’s 47,724 registered
voters bothered to cast ballots in the mail-in Tuesday election, about 17.84 percent, with these
results:For Council Position
2, Sternoff drew 3,485 votes, or 46.2 percent,
while Gardiner got 3,566, or 47.28 percent, of the vote.
A third can-didate, Chuck Hinson, who had not actively cam-paigned, drew 443 votes.
For Coun-cil Position 6, Asher got 3,942 votes, 51.35 percent, while James A. “Jim” Hart drew 2,064, or
26.89 percent.A third candidate,
Martin Morgan, drew 1,625 votes.
Sternoff said he “looks forward to a full and complete discussion of the issues” and that he wasn’t bothered by the initial results.
“I don’t even look at that,” he said. “It’s a primary. Only 18 percent of the voters voted. It’s a big city.”
In a statement, Gar-diner said he’s also pre-paring for the November ballot.

It took a few more hours than expected, but the King County Council passed a two-year, $20 car tab fee Monday to avoid a drastic reduction in King County Metro bus service.
Th e vote came aft er a nearly four-hour recess of the council at which point those in opposition hammered away at councilmembers Kathy Lambert and Jane Hague, who last week reached an agreement with County Executive Dow Constantine to support the plan. Aft er a weekend of heavy constituent feedback, Hague and Lambert appeared to be on the fence, but in the end they stuck to the deal. Th e fee passed by a 7-2 vote.
As part of the plan, Metro Transit would phase out its free downtown Seattle ser-vice and add buses to routes aff ected by highway tolling as a way to make a proposed $20 car-tab fee more palatable.
“We have an agreement that creates value for car owners who pay the mod-est fee in the form of both clearer roads and access to
transit,” Constantine said. “In contrast to the divisiveness in the other Washington, we’ve worked together to fi nd a package that responsibly ad-dresses everyone’s needs.”
Th e two voting against the plan were Reagan Dunn and Pete von Reichbauer. Both were disappointed to see an issue that has proved contro-versial at the ballot box taken out of the hands of voters.
“I’m deeply disappointed that the majority of my
colleagues found it necessary to deny the people the right to vote on this very important matter,”
said Dunn, chair of the council’s Regional Transit
Committee. “Th ere have been numerous votes on car tabs through the years and the people expect to have a say.”
Th e plan, which county Councilmembers Hague and Lambert said has been dramatically revised from an original version, also involves giving eight free bus tickets ($24 value) to those subject to the $20 fee increase and providing more sharply discounted tickets to human services and home-less programs. Some of that increase will come from an
opt-out program for those who do not wish to receive the eight free tickets. Nearly 150 human services agencies would receive the tickets and distribute them to those in need.
Th e plan represents a com-promise that will save King County from a 17 percent cut in Metro service, which is the equivalent of cutting all weekend transit service or all weekday rush-hour bus service for commuters. Con-stantine and others cited an increase in Metro ridership and a dependency on Metro for employers and employees alike as reasons why making those cuts was not a desirable option.
“Clearly it is a very diff er-ent package than the package originally proposed by the executive and authorized by the Legislature,” said Hague. “Th is is a subject I have not taken lightly and it is a pack-age that has required a lot of negotiation and a lot of give and take.”
In Kirkland, that give and take saved several routes that would have been completely eliminated and others that would have been faced with reduced service. Route 277 from Rose Hill and Juanita to the University District would have been eliminated while others including routes 236 to Woodinville and 238 to Bothell would have faced cuts in service.
But with the formerly dis-senting Lambert and Hague now on board with the revised, fi ve-part plan, those routes seem to be safe. “I am proud to be standing here today to say it is a great deal for the Eastside,” Hague said. “It is a great deal for King County.”

“This is going to be a tough race, as only 80 votes separated Bob and I,” noted Gardiner.
Asher said he was pleased with the primary results, but thinks his opponent needs to do more homework.
“I am certainly glad to
have a majority of those primary votes,” said Asher in a statement, adding that Hart “dem-onstrates he has not done his homework.”
Hart, in turn, was out picking up his campaign signs Wednesday morn-ing to get ready for the fall.
“He wants to be sure
they can be used again,” in November, said his daughter, Keri Hart. “He doesn’t want them sitting out for two months.”

A 420-seat Performing Arts Center is part of the new school, although the name of the former Cadle Th eater will be dropped.
Th e school’s expected to open with about 1,076 students, said Th omas. In
the fall of 2012, there’ll be about 1,400, as ninth-grade students transfer from junior high schools that are being converted to middle schools, she added.
All of it represents a move toward what’s probably one of the most advanced learning experi-ences available in the state,
said Th omas, showing the school library with a suspension-bridge walkway arching over the books and computers there, with the books bringing something of a rueful smirk.
“And, of course, there are books,” she said. “We don’t know how long books will be a part of libraries.”

LWHS reunion set for Saturday at Cannery
Some 50-year grads of Lake Washington High School had such a good time at a reunion last year that they’re doing it again tomorrow (Saturday, Aug. 20).
Th e gathering will be at the former Kirkland Custom Cannery, 640 Eighth Ave., said Don Borden, a Kang grad who now lives in British Columbia. Th e event will be hosted by Th ad Pound, retired cannery owner. Other Kangs are invited, with about 50 guests expected, some bringing their hot rods, said Borden.
S&P affi rms city’s AAA bond rating
Stating that the City of Kirkland “has a fi nancial position that we consider very
strong,” Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Financial Rating Service affi rmed the city’s credit rating of AAA and its stable outlook. Th e rating review was conducted as part of an upcoming refunding of selected city bonds to achieve savings for Kirkland taxpayers through lower interest rates. Kirkland was the second U.S. city to have its AAA rating affi rmed since the recent downgrade of the U.S. sovereign debt rating to AA+, outlook negative.
Th e report cited the city’s “maintenance of very strong available reserves, strong fi -nancial policies and practices, and low debt burden relative to market value” as factors for the high rating. Th e report further notes that the “stable outlook refl ects our view that the city’s strong fi nancial management policies and practices have positioned it well to handle the transition and ongoing costs associated with its service area expansion” due to the recent annexation.

Everyone speeds on Juanita Drive
Th e reason that the bicyclist was recently killed on Juanita Drive was because he had to avoid cones that were surrounding a hole in the bicycle lane. As he moved out to avoid the cones the pickup driven by an 18-year-old could not have avoided him. Perhaps the Kirkland police ought to get serious about ticketing and removing cars that are parked in the bike lanes on Juanita Drive and other areas before some-one else perishes. Everyone speeds on Juanita Drive because King County never patrolled it - it was
a dead end in their jurisdiction. Hopefully the Kirkland police will step up and make the roadway safer for everyone. Ken Luplow, Kirkland
Morgan’s plight with city codes
In response to Neil Goldberg’s recent letter about Martin Morgan, what Mr. Goldberg fails to mention is that the city has had Mr. Morgan in court more than a dozen times and Mr. Morgan has won each and every time. He has had to spend all of his money defending baseless charges leveled by the code enforce-ment offi ce. If it weren’t for the
city, that property would have been developed and would be producing far more tax revenue. Th e real issue is why the city has been relentless in pursuing Mr. Morgan. Could it be his complaints against the Building Department for the clear cut lot and three-story building the department approved? Th en that same department refused to enforce the double tree buff er? One has to wonder. Bill Henkens, Kirkland
Keep up the good work, Kirkland police
In response to the Aug. 12 article about the Kirkland Police Depart-
ment, I found it to be refreshing to see the proactive approach of the chief and department offi cers. I re-cently noted that there were a num-ber of stops on vehicles, by marked patrol units, around the Comfort Inn on 124th Street. As a retired of-fi cer (Georgia) I found it very com-fortable to see their presence in the area that I had lodgings at for two nights. I applaud the chief and the offi cers for their proactive approach rather than just reactive. From career experience I found that most negative complaints were generated by those who had a tendency to think that they were above the law. KPD, keep up the good work.Donald B. Lively, Georgia
Fate brought us to Kirkland.Now fate has brought me to this, typing on
a keyboard again.I thought this was all in the
past, since I accepted a buyout off er from the Seattle Times, where I spent a career as a reporter and editor. But then an opening came up here, at the Kirkland Reporter, to fi ll in for a reporter on leave, so I’m back at a keyboard.
Th at’s a great opportunity in a number of ways, but one of them, for me, leads to pondering that role of fate.
It’s why my family and I arrived here in the fi rst place. We were trying to buy a house in Montlake, in Seattle, mostly because it was an easy commute to my job. But the deal fell through, and we found a back-up place, a 1909 house in downtown Kirkland.
We’ve been here ever since, with me spending decades at the Times, and in Kirkland. Th at’s come to have some odd implications, like how it’s nearly impossible for me to walk along a street and not think of how maybe something just looks like a house to other people, but to me it brings thoughts of who lived there, of things like people in the neighborhood who failed or succeeded, divorced or stayed together, of kids that got in trouble in junior high school and how others graduated from college.
It was living in that house that also perhaps fi rst got me to seriously thinking about how a city func-tions.
We bought it from a man who worked at the Lake Washington Shipyards, where Carillon Point now stands, and we’d oft en come across remnants of that life—old metal-working hammers, a dustpan fabricated in a shop.
Th at came to make me sometimes think of how his life must have been, and how mine was so diff er-ent, and the consequences for a city.
Th e home’s former owner, I came to think, would have commuted about two miles down Lake Washington Boulevard to work. On his way home, he could stop at Richardson’s 5-and-10, the J.C. Pen-ney’s, where a new Mexican restaurant is going now, aft er a Mediterranean place failed, and maybe stop for screws or nails at two hardware stores, Coast-to-Coast or Bryant’s.
Th en the shipyards closed. People like me bought
the houses. And instead of living and working and playing in the town, things like such transporta-tion improvements as the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge made it possible for us to work far from where we lived.
So we did, with disastrous eff ects for the city. Th inking it through, I came to ponder how Kirk-land then was a city of maybe 40,000 people. If half of them were kids, that left maybe 20,000 adults. And if half or more of the adults, with two-parent working families becoming the norm, went off to work every day, that would leave maybe 5,000 people in town.
How, I wondered, could a city survive if most of its population went somewhere else every day?
Th e answer, over the years, became readily apparent. Th e stores closed. Th ose transportation improvements not only made it possible to leave for work, but to buy things. Malls thrived.
Of course, the city has partly prospered in other ways. Restaurants and coff ee shops abound. Con-signment shops have arrived. Soft ware industries unknown in the shipyard days have brought several thousand workers to the city.
Yet it’s still impossible to buy an electric drill or a ski jacket in Kirkland, and unanswered questions remain of whether increasing number of condos and apartments can provide the sense of communi-ty once provided by someone stopping at the dime store on the way home.
Aside from such issues, which perplex cit-ies across the country, there are more personal questions lingering for me, among them how my career seems to have both started and is ending in Kirkland.
It’s impossible for me to forget how it began. I was working as an editor on what’s called the city desk at the Times, when a woman and her child were killed in a head-on collision on a rainy aft ernoon on the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge.
Perhaps because the woman was from Kirkland, where I lived, I happened to mention to another editor that I wondered what really happened.
Unknowingly, I had asked a question that would essentially guide the rest of my life.
To answer the question, the kind of work that I would come to do for years played itself out. I learned the woman’s car had been taken to a tow lot, a place a few blocks from the Times, which would come to be renowned for how a pink “toe” truck was parked there.
I went to the wrecking lot, and in a reminder to how once upon a time, there were no guards at airports and you could just walk into a towing lot, I found the car. I went through the glove compart-ment. Inside, I noticed a receipt dated a day or so before the crash, from a Kirkland gas station.
I went to the Texaco station on State Street, which later became Cypress Tree Furniture Refi nishing and now is an apart-

ment complex, and asked the owner if he remembered anything about the sale.
He remembered it all. Th e woman had been on welfare. All the tires on her car were bald. She only had enough money for two tires, so the owner put them on the back, the best place for driving in rain, but warned her the car was unsafe. She shrugged, he remembered. She had to get to Port Townsend for Th anksgiv-ing. She died on the way home.
Th e implications were clear. If she’d had enough money for four tires, she’d still be alive.
Fate, I thought. Partly because of the crash and the story, the state installed an anti-collision “Jersey barrier” across the bridge, and in another sobering thought, it’s worth considering how the bridge originally was built with just a paint stripe separat-ing four lanes of opposing 60-mph traffi c.
I also thought the story was unusual. It wasn’t. I would come to write thou-sands of such stories, about people who were shot or stabbed or died in colli-sions.
One that I can’t forget
now, because of a recent event in Kirkland, involved a woman named Mary Johnsen, who was walking with her husband along a road on the Sammamish Plateau one aft ernoon in 1997.
A minivan came from behind them and struck Johnsen, killing her.
Th e minivan was driven by Susan West, who turned out to be the drunkest driver ever then arrested in state history, with a 0.34 reading.
At her sentencing, a judge described West as a “human bomb.” She spent six years in prison, was released, and once
more was arrested for driving under the infl u-
ence.Fate, I thought again.
What are the chances that someone would be walking along a Sammamish road on a nice aft ernoon and the drunkest driver in history would come along and kill them?
A good question, I thought. In 2006, I tried to answer it, with myself and another reporter spending months looking at some 200,000 DUI tickets issued since 2000.
What we found, as reporters oft en do, was both surprising and upsetting.
A main conclusion: Just 43 percent of DUI tickets ever result in a DUI convic-tion. Th e bulk of them are reduced to a lesser charge, such as reckless driving.
Still, it seemed like that was the end of that, for me. Th e questions had been answered. Enough.
Th en came this Kirkland Reporter off er, and I’m thinking of perhaps how I missed being at a keyboard.
Yet, as I type this, I’m also thinking of that major Kirkland news event.
On a nice Sunday af-ternoon last month, Steve Lacey, a Google engineer who lived close enough to his work that he could walk from his home near Everest Park to Google’s Kirkland offi ces, went to Costco on an errand.
On his way home, an SUV driven by a man now accused of vehicular homi-cide crossed over several traffi c lanes and landed on Lacey’s car, killing him.
For me, and probably countless other people, it seems nearly impossible to consider what happened that day and not wonder how such an event could come to occur.
Unfortunately, it’s some-thing I’ve considered in-numerable times. I’ve never found the answer.
But I take some solace in
words from another writer. “Th ere is no new thing un-der the sun,” someone wrote in Ecclesiastes more than 2,000 years ago. So there is perhaps some strength to be found in realizing the chal-lenges we face now, whether they concern the growth of a city, the death of a driver, or even how a weekly news-paper in Kirkland should be published, are not unprec-edented, and somehow, it all works out.
It’s nice to be typing again.

On the day of release, “3 Steps To YOUR BEST BODY” skyrocketed to best-seller status on Amazon.com, reaching as high as No. 69 overall in the Amazon Top 100. The book reached No. 1 in both the Quick Work-outs and Weight Training Categories.
Acda built his fitness business by helping hun-dreds of busy clients – from top business executives to real estate agents and busy moms – achieve amazing
shape and regain their health and their bodies. His latest fitness system, “Fit In A Hurry,” is a culmination of his “in the trenches” work with his busy clientele, as well as his juggling of a very busy schedule running his business and being a new father.

Most of us are guilty of need-ing a little
pick-me-up to start our day or a caffeine charge to temporarily fix lack of sleep or a tiring after-noon. But when does this habit become harmful or an addiction? And what about when it comes to our children?
More studies are showing that caffeine has the potential to actu-ally be harmful for youth, especially when it comes to energy drinks that are increasing in popular-ity every year. In fact, as many as 50 percent of teens are now consum-ing energy drinks on a regular basis.
Nutritional labels on energy drinks offer caf-feine amounts, but they don’t tell the whole story. Herbs such as guarana, kola nut, cocoa and yerba mate are not required to be listed, yet many con-tain high, understudied and unregulated amounts of caffeine.
Thus, the total amount of caffeine in many en-ergy boosting beverages is significantly higher and can cause serious side
effects such as dehydra-tion, vomiting, tremors, insomnia, delirium, sei-zures and increased heart rhythms.
Kids are particularly sensitive to the effects of caffeine. According to the Journal of Pediatrics,
youth younger than 19 ac-counted for al-most half of the caffeine over-doses reported in 2007.
And emergen-cy room doctors are reporting an increase in “caf-
feine attacks” or patients whose symptoms mirror heart attacks – racing pulse and chest pain – but are actually caffeine overdoses.
As to caffeine’s ad-dictiveness, if you’ve ever tried to quit it, you know there are physical symptoms of withdrawal, which can be mild to severe including irritabil-ity, headaches, fatigue or drowsiness, muscle stiff-ness, difficulty concen-trating and chills and/or hot spells.
Talk with your chil-dren, so they are aware and open about the risks associated with caffeine consumption. Make sure
they understand that there are many ingredi-ents that aren’t listed and encourage them to limit their intake.
Let them know these drinks might temporarily boost performance, but can also cause dehydra-tion and other ailments and, in the long term, they can be addictive and harmful.

A Bothell man charged with robbing the Juanita Village Bank of America at gunpoint on Aug. 5 will be released on his own recognizance, a magis-trate judge ordered on
Thursday.The FBI arrested An-
thony Ray Shindler, 43, in Kirkland on Monday and he is currently being held in federal detention in Seattle. However, a judge ordered his release later this week.
During Thursday’s de-tention hearing at the U.S. District Court in Seattle, Nick Brown, assistant U.S.
attorney, argued for Shin-dler to remain detained, noting that anyone brazen enough to brandish a gun at bank employees is a danger to the community.
Prior to Shindler’s arrest, the FBI released bank surveillance, show-ing the man holding up a silver handgun as he robbed the Kirkland bank. A tipster recog-
nized Shindler from the surveillance, which led to his arrest at the Totem Lake QFC Monday.
Upon release, Shindler must wear a GPS tracking device so his location will be known at all times, the judge ruled. He was also ordered to meet several conditions, including to attend a gamblers 12-step program, submit to drug and alcohol testing and he is prohibited from pos-sessing or having access to firearms or dangerous weapons, according to bond documents.
He is due to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Aug. 23.

Recently, Frontier Communications announced that FiOS TV was “uneconomical.” They have taken a series of steps to
discourage new customers from signing up for FiOS TV, and encourage existing customers who have FiOS to switch
to other services like satellite TV.
Fortunately, there’s a far better option. With XFINITY® from Comcast you get access to over 60,000 On Demand TV
shows and movies, on TV and online. You can’t get that with satellite. You’ll also get access to the fastest Internet to
more homes than anyone, plus smarter home phone service for less.
Get home entertainment that’s here to stay with XFINITY.
Switch to XFINITY® and get the best entertainment for the best price.
Frontier agrees. FiOS TV is the wrong choice.

People have prac-ticed yoga in the usual places. At
times when the sun is shining in a park, or on a mountain trail, and more typically in a studio room with equipment and mats.
Not to be included in the typical, Kirkland’s newest yoga class can be found on the water – on a paddle board.
While paddleboarding is quickly becoming a well-known outdoor wa-ter activity, Andrea Ciri-gnano, the owner and instructor of YogaTone, figured combin-ing the two was a great way to get yoga outside. She teaches the YogaTone H2O class several times a week.
“I’ve just been doing it this year,” she said of her class on water. “It’s pretty new everywhere. There are only a hand-ful of places around the country.”
The class, which takes place at Marina Park in Kirkland, holds six to eight people and includes the use of a paddleboard. Cirignano said students don’t need to bring anything to class as the boards are provided.
With the cooler than usual summer weather, the yoga instructor said it’s been pretty quiet, but people are interested.
Cirignano had been looking for a way to teach classes outside and was introduced to Jeff Underwood, who rents paddleboards at the park. They clicked and her class was born.
The biggest difference between a typical yoga class and this one, Ciri-gnano said, is how much focus it requires.
“It’s way harder to bal-ance on (the board) and that’s the point,” she said. “It adds a new element. I love how when you are out there you really have to be in the moment, be-cause if you are thinking about your day or to-do list, you are going to get wet.”
While paddleboard-ing alone requires a lot of muscle use, Cirignano said even more are used
and needed for doing yoga on the boards.
Her classes, which are $40, start with a warm-up paddle
around the cove at Marina Park, followed
by the class, which lines up boards tethered to buoys. That way, she ex-plained, when the swells from boats come in, they don’t have to worry about floating away.
During a recent class, Cirignano was joined by Bryn Howell and Erin Underwood, Jeff ’s wife. Howell said she’d done the class once or twice before with Cirignano.
“If this was a regular yoga class it would prob-ably seem like a beginner class,” said the instructor. “But because it’s on the water it adds that new element.”
With yoga classes, Ciri-gnano said she can con-trol most of the elements – the type of music she plays and what is going on in the room. With the outdoor class, especially on the water, it’s helped her and her students learn that they have no control over their surroundings.
“Sometimes there are ducks floating by, or boats and people and you just have to go with it,” she said. “Then you can take that with you into your everyday life.”
Cirignano has been teaching yoga for al-most two years, mostly in Kirkland, she said,
because she lives here, but bounces around to vari-ous places.
Outside of the class at the park she said she is also interested in teaching pre and post-natal classes with moms.
Visit www.yogatone.net to learn more about
Ciri-gnano’s classes, includ-ing YogaTone H2O. Jeff Underwood, who runs Northwest Paddle Surfers, rents boards at the park throughout the summer. To learn more visit www.northwest-paddlesurfers.com.
Floating yoga comes to Kirkland waterfront park
The new YogaTone H2O class off ered at Marina Park combines paddleboarding and yoga to give students a more intense muscle workout, says instructor Andrea Cirignano. MEGAN
