tag represents the wish of a victim or child who is heal-ing from abuse …”

LifeWire has been helping families of domestic abuse since 1982. In 2011, LifeWire sta� answered 10,716 crisis line phone calls and served 5,179 individuals.

Funding for the organiza-tion has been fairly steady from the cities around the Eastside, but this year Hen-kens traveled to a Bothell City Council meeting to ask them to reconsider funding cuts.

“We must protect our mothers, sisters and daugh-ters and we must educate them to be aware of the early warning signs of domestic violence,” Henkens told the Bothell City Council in November.

LifeWire development director Kelly Becker said funding from cities has usu-ally been pretty stable but because the cost of living is always increasing, the steady funding they receive is o� en

not enough to accommodate everyone, hence the im-portance of donations such as those from � e Game Neighborhood Grill and Bar.

To donate, visit www.lifewire.org or contact development director Kelly Becker at 425-562-8840 ext. 253.

we could do, something more personal than giv-ing money.”

Melissa and Nick Rossi from Woodinville-based Division 9 Flooring con-tacted LaBou and offered to truck the bricks to Newtown, Conn.

She’s procured someone to donate bricks and she’s

currently in the process of securing a warehouse and forklift to set up shop. She’s already raised a couple thousand dollars and says the money will be used for installation of the monument, brick pathway or garden patio, depending on how many bricks she gets.

LaBou contacted a representative with the

St. Rose of Lima Catho-lic Church in Newtown about her idea and she said he was very thankful and planned to announce her efforts at mass.

LaBou said on Tuesday evening the church had been doing two funerals a day for the victims and that when she spoke to the church official last Saturday, he was “over-

wrought with grief.”“There are no words,”

she said. “From the west coast to the east coast, this great country of ours can show Sandy Hook our support, hope, our

love and concern.”Citizens can donate to

the Brick by Brick Sandy Hook Memorial Fund at any Key Bank.

For more informa-tion on brick decorating,

email LaBou at [email protected] or visit the Brick By Brick Sandy Hook Memo-rial Fund Facebook page for updates.

On behalf of the sta� at Youth Eastside Services, I o� er our

condolences to the families of the victims of the shoot-ing at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and the shooting at Clackamas Town Center in Oregon.

� e news of 29 deaths, 20 of them children, is heart-breaking news for adults; it is even more unfathomable and frighten-ing for children.

In the past year, it seems we have been bom-barded with stories about senseless violence.

And while such trag-edies may create worry for even the most hardy adult, the intensity and constant be especially confusing and frightening for children and teens.

So how do we help our kids cope? As parents,

we may not be able to protect our children from crisis, but we can react in a way that prevents it from causing undue

stress. When disaster

or violence hits the news, we sometimes want to hold our kids closer and avoid similar settings. But it’s important to let them go

about their usual activi-ties—even if it includes a trip to the theater.

When kids hear these stories, they often have fears about whether it will happen to them. Talk with them honestly about what happened, but don’t overly focus on it.

Sometimes fear can be allayed in older children by helping them plan what they would do to stay safe if they were caught in a dangerous

situation. Here are some other

tips for helping kids:• Encourage children to

talk about their feelings. Ask what they have seen or heard and if there’s anything they’re worried about.

Then give them only as much information as you feel they need, and let their responses guide you.

• Let your children know their fears and emotions are okay by acknowledging their feelings while providing reassurance.

Don’t minimize their concerns by telling them not to worry, especially since any subsequent in-cident will diminish that line of logic.

• During the heat of the crisis, keep the news off when your kids are in ear shot and try not to bring it up excessively.

Even young kids absorb more than you realize, even when they don’t ap-pear to be paying atten-tion.

• Use the news as a teachable moment when you can share your family values.

For instance, you might point out the importance of helping those who are unable to help them-selves.

• With older children, use the news to discuss tough issues raised in these stories, like accept-ing people from different religions or cultures.

• Keep the news off when your kids are in earshot and reduce talk-ing about it when they might overhear.

It’s important to re-member that as scary as these recent random acts of violence have been, more kids are harmed by guns in the home.

Figures gathered from emergency rooms across the US show that around 20,000 children are injured by firearms each year, and 900 incidents are fatal.

If you own a gun, this is an ideal time for a safe-ty check: keep it locked, out of reach of kids, and unloaded.

But even if you don’t own a gun, remember your child may still play at a home that has guns, or be exposed to a gun if someone brings it to school or the park.

Tell your children that if another child shows them a gun or they see an adult other than a police officer or soldier with a gun in a public setting, they should absolutely tell you or another adult immediately.

If they are alone and have a cell phone, in-struct them to dial 9-1-1.

Assure them that they won’t be in trouble, and that it could help avoid someone getting hurt or killed.

Grateful for the opportunity to serve on council

As I approach the end of my � rst year as a council member, I feel prompted to express to the people of Kirkland my gratitude for the opportunity to serve on our Kirkland City Council.

I am humbled by the trust you have placed in me and all the members of the council to make di� cult decisions on your behalf. I appreciate very much all the emails, letters, calls, and meetings in which you share your opinions and provide the information council members need to be fully informed on the issues, the opportunities you provide by your suggestions for im-provement, as well as for your prayers and other expressions of support.

I’m also grateful to have the opportunity to work together with the other members of the council, our city manager, directors, and other city sta� , all of whom have the best interests of the city at heart, and who have been very pa-tient and giving of their time, knowledge, and experience in helping me through this � rst year. While council members have not been unanimous on every decision this year, our deliberations and interactions have always been respectful and civil.

I look forward to con-tinuing to work together to improve the quality of life for everyone in Kirkland. � anks very much to all of you, and Merry Christmas!Toby Nixon, Kirkland City Council

Lake Street Place building is monolithic

� e proposed Lake Street Place development, the 5-sto-ry monolithic building in the heart of downtown Kirkland, hard against its neighbors to the north and east, will forever change the down-town’s open and refreshing character. And once erected, there is no going back.

Once built, the resulting dark 15-20 foot wide tunnels along the building’s north and east sides (which one of the DRB members termed “medieval”) will never receive the sun, and will repel, not invite Kirkland’s citizens. Tinkering with wall surface treatments does nothing to ameliorate this dreadful situation. Only by lowering the building’s height is there hope of retaining Kirkland’s human scale and inviting

personality.Ron and Barbara Hansen, Portsmith owners

Forcing cars to wait for holiday runners is negligent

Sunday morning I was on my way to work at Bel-levue Square. I went up State Street to 68th, where I hit the beginnings of a major road block: the 12ks of Christmas Holiday Run. � ere were police o� cers at the corner letting pedestri-ans walk, jog, trot and run by. I was just between the entrances into the Hough-ton Market, about six cars back. As I looked in my rearview mirror I saw cars and a Metro bus starting to form a long line going back down to State and Lakeview.

A� er about 10 minutes, I called the non-emergency police number and asked if someone could com-municate with the o� cers directing the pedestrians to please halt them every now and then to let some cars through to relieve the backup congestion. � e dispatcher told me that if there were uniformed o� -cers directing tra� c, no one would contact them.

Frustrated, I turned o� my car, got out and locked it, then ran up to the o� cer closest to me directing the pedestrians. I asked him to please let some of the cars through, that the conges-

tion was starting to get dangerous as people were trying to pull away, turn around, blocking driveways and making U-turns. He refused.

As I was walking back to my car, people were open-ing their windows asking me what his response was, and getting angry when I relayed it. I was able to turn around in the parking lot and tried taking a few back streets to go towards Belle-vue. Finally, I came up to an area where the pedestrians were heading toward the South Kirkland Park and Ride. Another o� cer tried to tell me to turn around, and I told him I couldn’t as there was nowhere to go “back.” Finally he allowed me to slip through a break in the foot tra� c and I managed to get past the pedestrian tra� c.

Kirkland needs better tra� c control in such situa-tions. Luckily, I had le� with an hour to spare, but forcing me to wait for half an hour just to get across Northeast 68th and causing serious tra� c issues all to allow pe-destrians to move forward in an uninterrupted line across a major city street is tantamount to negligent. Why did the o� cers not halt pedestrians every so o� en and allow cars to go through? What is the justi-� cation for creating a major tra� c jam in a residential area? How can we prevent this from happening again?Kristen Fife, Kirkland

Woodlands Park Tot Lot needs community support

� e Woodlands Park Tot Lot needs your support as it is not part of the recently passed levy. � e small play area near Mark Twain El-ementary School, funded by city bond funds in 1986, has now been removed for safety reasons due to deterioration. � e North Rose Hill Neigh-borhood Association and Kirkland Kiwanis have been raising money for over a year to replace the structures and so far have only reached just over $4,000 of its approxi-mate $12,000 goal.

If you can help our children have a better place to play this summer, make a year-end holiday tax deduct-ible a 501(c)3 contribution to the Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation, 328 19th Ave. 98033-4927. It would be a shame to not see this portion of the park reopen in six months a� er 25 years of use. Matt Gregory, Kirkland

Support bi-partisanship resolution of economic issues

Elected o� cials must work together to keep from going over � scal cli� . Right now, we are not Democrats, Repub-licans or Independents. We are simply “Americans,” and

as Americans we must stand up for what is best for our country at a critically impor-tant time. For far too long, a “� scal cli� ” has loomed over the U.S. � e issue is serious, and CEOs across the nation are working together to encourage Congress to demonstrate that principled compromise is alive and well in this country.

Many employees of Frontier Communications live in Kirkland. I have asked them, and I ask all who read this piece, to reach out to their congressional members and support bi-partisanship resolution of the economic issues that demand immedi-ate attention. As we all know, our country is capable of great things; when the cause demands it, we can work to-gether on any issue. � e time is long overdue for Congress to do just that.

I am proud to be part of a campaign led by CEOs across the country to encourage Congress and the Adminis-tration to do the right thing. We are asking our elected o� cials to work together to prevent the signi� cant nega-tive economic, employment and social consequences of going over the � scal cli� and the resulting across-the-board tax hikes and dramatic spending cuts scheduled to occur on Jan. 1, 2013. A fail-ure to act will be devastating to the U.S. economy and will harm future generations. Maggie Wilderotter, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Communications

Officials of the Tent City 4 homeless encampment have

not mandated weekly sex-offender checks, contrary to what St. John Catholic Vianney pastor Ramon Santa Cruz told the com-munity last month.

The decision to forgo the checks came after SHARE staff met with parish leaders on Nov. 29 to discuss concerns that arose from the arrest of a man ac-cused of child rape who was living at Tent City 4 during his appre-hension.

Archdiocese spokesman Greg Magnoni said parish officials agreed that Tent City 4’s current system for warrant checks works well because police are able to locate residents from their initial background checks during the application process at Tent City 4.

“SHARE and parish leaders agreed to improve communication efforts so that incidents at the encampment will be re-ported in a timely fashion to the host,” said Magno-

ni. “I would describe the discussions as serious and constructive. Everyone walked away feeling that important issues were placed on the table and that all legitimate con-cerns were addressed.”

A day after Robert Bruce Mckay-Erskine’s arrest, Cruz sent out a letter to the community to explain Erskine was detained and had been given a background check but was accepted into the encampment before his criminal charges were filed. The letter states:

“The morning after the incident, par-

ish staff met with Tent City staff and have taken steps to implement a

system of random weekly sexual offend-

er checks for residents to assure the safety and security of our neighbors, parishioners and all who use our parish facilities.”

The random weekly sexual offender checks were never implemented. The two parties held a meeting and came to an agreement, but church members and neighbors were never told other-wise.

“I live in the immediate vicinity,” said a neighbor who wishes to be uniden-tified. “That has been the issue, any level of com-

munication and expecta-tion - it’s never there … It was a big enough deal the priest wrote a letter. It seems that there should be some follow up com-munication.”

The resident’s home abuts Tent City 4 and he says he believes the par-ish officials and SHARE members are “very well intended individuals,” but that the organizations’ transparency is lacking.

Magnoni said the par-ish did not reach out to the public because the weekly random sex-of-fender checks were never implemented and the people who wanted them in place ended up leaving Tent City 4.

SHARE officials, who established Tent City in 1990, stated on their website that sex offender checks are always per-formed prior to admit-tance and the camp also does outstanding warrant checks as part of their “Good Neighbor Policy.” The issue with Erskine was simply that he had no warrants and was not in the Sex Offender Registry at the time he was ac-cepted to live at the camp, according to SHARE.

“Imposing random sex offender checks on individuals because they live in a homeless en-campment isn’t based on

the record; it is based on fear,” said SHARE officials on their website Nov. 16.

Nonetheless, a select few of Tent City 4 resi-dents made a decision to meet with the pastor on the issue and thus break SHARE’s policy, and eventually break away from SHARE itself to form Camp Unity East-side. Both SHARE and the barred nine members acknowledge there were deeper issues regarding the split.

“SHARE’s our parents so we have to go by their guidelines and their rules,” said Joe Gladson, the current Tent City 4 camp advisor of 37 residents. “They (the nine barred) spoke out of turn.”

Now, it seems the 70 or so residents in Camp Unity and their host, Lake Washington United Meth-odist Church (LWUMC), are meshing well together. Pastor Kelly Dahlman-Oeth said the members of Camp Unity are “pro-gressing forward” and are in the process of building a shower. He says six to 12 people regularly at-tend the church services and one person has even joined the church choir.

“We make it available without expectation or obligation,” said Dahl-man-Oeth about attend-

ing church.Tent City 4 was origi-

nally scheduled to move to LWUMC but because Camp Unity moved in, Dahlman-Oeth said there is a limitation on hosting two camps at the same time. Tent City 4 will move to St. Jude Par-ish in Redmond on Jan. 12, while Camp Unity is planning to move to Wooden Cross Lutheran Church in Woodinville by Feb. 14.

Dahlman-Oeth con-firmed that Camp Unity is currently applying their own random weekly sex-offender checks. He says the church has had two community meetings about Camp Unity’s move to the church and there are about three people who are still concerned about the encampment.

“We’re all fearful of the ‘stranger in the neigh-borhood’ and so now we have 70 new people in the neighborhood,” Dahl-

man-Oeth said. “So, I’ve encouraged the people to meet with them, go watch football. Folks are always welcome to have a tour or meet the people.”

The pastor said resi-dents of Camp Unity have been very helpful and are regularly looking around to ask how they can help the church.

Although Camp Unity is nearly set up, residents are still in need of bat-teries, warm clothes and blankets, tarps and plenty of other items, which a list can be found at campunity.org/index.php/about-us/needs-list

The church will host their own Christmas cel-ebration for Camp Unity and other homeless orga-nizations such as Sophia’s Way on Dec. 25.

“Any folks who don’t have a place to go on Christmas day are wel-come,” Dahlman-Oeth said.

KIRKLANDSAFETY

� e Kirkland City Coun-cil adopted the 2013-2014 budget, the 2013-2018 Six Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and the 2012 Property Tax Levy during its Dec. 11 meeting.

� e two-year budget totals approximately $540 million, which is a 13.2 increase increase from the previous biennial bud-get due to the full two-year cost of providing services to the new neigh-borhoods, increased health bene� t costs, the passage of Propositions 1 and 2, con-struction and occupancy of the Public Safety Building and anticipated increases in revenue from Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), impact fees, and lodging tax due to the improving economy.

In order to balance the budget, $5.3 million in cuts were necessary to ensure the city’s expenses would

equal its revenue.In his budget message,

City Manager Kurt Triplett conveys, “� is budget funds the priorities and vi-sion of our citizens as iden-ti� ed by our community

survey and achieves progress on the

goals adopted by the city council.” He further states, “� is budget

provides the opportunity to

recalibrate the pro-jected revenues and service needs now that the city has been operating in the new neighborhoods since June 1, 2011.”

� e budget is comprised of 24 separate funds that are independently bal-anced (i.e. revenues equal expenditures). � e CIP is a six-year plan that addresses construction, repair, main-tenance and acquisition of major capital facilities and equipment to improve transportation, utilities,

parks and buildings in the City.

� e property tax levy establishes the total dollars in property tax that the city will receive, which is trans-lated into a rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation. � e preliminary budget is currently available online at www.kirklandwa.gov/

budget; the � nal budget document will be available in hard copy and online by the end of March, 2013.

When 77-year-old Carol Mahre heard who she

thought was her grandson plea for her help on the tele-phone, she had one thought – he’s in trouble.

“First he said, ‘Hi, grandma,’ just like my oldest grandson says,” Mahre re-called of the Nov. 28 phone call. “I said, ‘Hi, Lewis, how are you?’ He said, ‘I’ve got a problem and I’m in jail. I’m being held against my will in a jail in Mexico and I need $2,200 to be released.’”

� e man told Mahre that he was in an accident and a woman from the U.S. Embassy would call and tell Mahre how she could help her grandson with his release.

“I was just astounded and thought, oh, he’s been in a car accident,” said Mahre, who lives just blocks from her grandson in Bothell. “I was so sure I was talking to him. I should have tried to contact my grandson � rst, but he said, ‘Don’t tell anyone in the family, I’ll tell them when I get home.’”

A woman who identi-� ed herself as Anna Marie Weston called Mahre and told her that there’s a gag order in place and if she didn’t tell anyone about the accident that the Embassy would send her grandson home right away. � e woman, who was very ar-ticulate, instructed Mahre to go to the Rite Aid pharmacy in Kirkland’s Totem Lake neighborhood and wire $2,200 in cash to Mexico City via Western Union.

When the transaction did not go through, the woman told Mahre to go to a di� er-ent Rite Aid in downtown Bothell and wire the money to Manila.

� is time, the transaction went through. � at night, Weston called Mahre and

said the money got there too late for the Embassy to get her grandson out of jail that night. She said she would meet with the judge and prosecutor in the morning to discuss his release.

� e next morning, the woman called back and said the accident was alcohol-related and Mahre would need to send $10,000 in cash.

“I just gasped,” said Mahre, noting that the woman reduced that amount to $6,300 based on her reaction and asked Mahre to send the money in two installments.

She went back to the Totem Lake Rite Aid and an employee said, “Weren’t you just in here yesterday? She said, ‘� at doesn’t sound right,’” Mahre recalled.

Regardless, she wired another $3,900.

But when she went to wire the second installment of $2,400 via a MoneyGram to Mexico, an employee at the Lynnwood Walmart no-ticed something was wrong.

“Oh, that’s a scam - don’t you send one more penny,” the employee told Mahre. “� e woman said we get people in here all week long that get caught in this scam, don’t send another penny.”

Mahre says she fell for the scam “hook, line and sinker. I just feel so stupid - I should have called (my grandson).”

She said while most people in this situation would want to hide from embarrassment, she wants to warn as many people as she can so that it doesn’t happen to others.

� e Washington At-torney General’s O� ce warns residents about the “grandparent scam,” where cons posing as relatives try to convince elderly victims to wire cash to help pay for emergency car repairs,

medical bills, or even post bail.

� e Federal Bureau of Investigation said the grandparent scam has been around for several years, noting its Internet Crime Complaint Center has received reports about it since 2008.

But the scam and scam artists have become more sophisticated, the FBI reports.

� e Internet and social networking sites like Fa-cebook help criminals un-cover personal information about their targets, which makes impersonations more believable.

“� ey are so slick,” said Mahre. “� e police said they call these family names up on a computer and pick people in my age bracket. We love our grandkids so much that we’ll do anything for them.”

Mahre said her grandson, who she is really close to, was “just sickened” when he found out what happened.

“My kids said, ‘Oh, mom, how could you be so gull-ible?’”

Mahre warns others not to be fooled by the scam. And make the call, she says.

“Even though you’re told not to contact your family member, make the call to the person who supposedly needs the money and you’d prevent all of this heart-ache.”

She also said to invest in a caller ID, which she now has to identify callers.

Luckily, the cons did not completely ruin Mahre’s Christmas. � e Bothell police helped her get her $3,900 back from Western Union. However, they were not able to recover her $2,200.

“� at’s still a lot of social security checks,” she added.

Bothell police o� cer Steve Kerzman, who helped Mahre get some of her

money back, said this type of scam is “unfortunately becoming a common trend where elderly people are being targeted.”

Some of the issues the Bothell police have seen are cons calling the elderly and saying they are in jail or the hospital and need money.

“� e other thing we’re seeing is callers who say the person has won the sweep-stakes and asking them to wire the tax money from the sweepstakes,” said Kerzman. “� is is all getting wired to other countries, unfortu-nately, so this makes it very hard for police enforcement to get it back.”

He said the department has seen several people recently fall prey to similar scams at the Green Acres Mobile Home Park retire-ment community in Bothell.

“We have people there who’ve been targeted and who have sent well and above $10,000,” he noted.

He said the department is in the process of trying to work with local senior com-munities to bring awareness about scams that target the elderly.

“� e elderly tend to be more giving, so there’s not as much hesitation from them,” noted Kerzman.

� e Bothell Police De-partment has also discussed ways to alert employees at various Western Union locations about the scam, such as creating an informa-tional brochure.

� e Washington attorney general made a multi-state agreement with Money-Gram in 2008 that aims to prevent U.S. residents from becoming victims of wire transfer scams. MoneyGram paid $1.1 million to fund a national peer-counseling program to be overseen by the AARP Foundation. � e company also agreed to print an attention-grabbing warning on its form that is used to send money and provide enhanced train-ing to branch agents. State attorneys general reached a similar agreement in 2005 with Western Union.

Kerzman said the biggest way for people to protect themselves from the grand-parent scam is to verify and follow-up with their loved one before sending money.

How to detect a scam

� e Washington State Of-� ce of the Attorney General o� ers the following tips to detect a scam:

1. Don’t � ll in the blanks for the scammer. For ex-ample:

Caller: “It’s your grand-daughter.”

Grandparent: “Which one?”

Most likely, the con will then hang up.

2. Do whatever is neces-sary to con� rm the real rela-tive’s whereabouts. Call your grandchild’s home, school or work.

3. Don’t send money unless you have veri� ed that your relative is really in trouble. If a caller asks for your bank account num-ber or urges you to send money via Western Union or MoneyGram for any reason, that’s a good indica-tion of a scam. Cons prefer wire transfers because they are fast, there are transfer agents in most communities and funds can be picked up in multiple locations.

Grandma falls victim to scam, warns others

Carol Mahre, 77, sits in the living room of her Bothell home. She was conned into wiring thousands of dollars at several Western Union locations, including Kirkland, to help her “grandson.” CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter

Police BlotterGoogle grant to support trail development

An effort to convert an unused rail line into 42 miles of trails connecting six cities and two counties was bolstered by a $10,000 grant from Google.

Google awarded The Trust for Public Land a grant to engage a diverse group of public officials, nonprofits, community members, corporate part-ners and citizen groups to plan the Eastside Rail Corridor. The Trust for Public Land will work to develop and implement a comprehensive commu-nity engagement strategy to disseminate informa-tion about the Eastside

Rail Corridor, gain input for determining the future of the corridor, and build broad support for the project.

“The support from Google’s Washington offices is instrumental in launching the Eastside Rail Corridor project. This grant will help us lead the effort to create and realize the vision for a recreation-al trail and transportation route that will connect six cities and two counties,” said Mike Deller, Washing-ton State director of The Trust for Public Land.

The grant will help provide multiple oppor-tunities for community groups and the general public to learn about the status of the project and provide input. These will

include public open house meetings where The Trust for Public Land and part-ners will display maps of the Corridor and present an overview of potential options for its future. The public will have opportu-nities to review maps, ask questions, and offer their opinions about various alternatives.

“We see Google’s part-nership and financial com-mitment to the Corridor as an opportunity to leverage and engage local corpora-tions and businesses and ensure residents’ needs are met,” said Deller.

Through their Com-munity Grants program, each Google office location makes grants to local nonprofit organizations and schools.

...healthy living

Whether we celebrate at home with family and friends, attend lots of parties or take a vacation to get away from it all, the holidays

always tempt us to consume more food and drink than we normally would – and more than may be good for us.

� e average American

adult devours about 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat in one � anksgiving meal alone, according to surveys by the American Council on

Exercise (ACE), a non-pro� t � tness advocacy organiza-tion. � ose � gures can quickly swell to 4,500 calories and more when all the feast-ing is considered.

Many people start by snacking throughout the day, which combined with the meal can lead to substantial overeating, accord-ing to Dr. Cedric Bryant, an exercise physiologist at ACE. How-ever, those casually added calories are rarely remem-bered.

Another source of un-counted calories are o� en alcoholic beverages. It’s no secret that alcohol consump-tion escalates during the holiday season. � e distilled spirits industry alone makes more than 25 percent of its annual pro� ts from � anks-giving to New Year, accord-ing to reports by Forbes, based on data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

“Many may not realize that even a little daily drinking can lead to weight gain over time,” says Dr. Samara Joy

Nielsen, a senior fellow at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

She admits that even health experts tend to forget how many calories from bev-

erages contribute to the total calorie in-take among adults. “Although the risks of excessive alcohol consumption in terms of injury and chronic disease are well known, less

is known about the calories consumed from alcoholic beverages. As with calori-cally sweetened beverages, alcoholic beverages are a top contributor to calorie intake but provide few nutrients,” says Dr. Nielsen in a study report published by the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While people are becoming increas-ingly aware of the e� ects of sodas in terms of weight gain, alcoholic beverages have so far escaped similar scrutiny.

Of course, the impact of alcohol on the waistline is not limited to the holidays. About one-third of men and one-� � h of women in Amer-

ica consume calories from alcoholic beverages on most days, according to the CDC report. For most Americans, the average intake is less than 100 calories per day, how-ever, 20 percent of men and 6 percent of women consume more than 300 calories from alcohol on any given day.

One of the reasons why the consequences of alcohol consumption are not always understood may be that many people don’t even know what constitutes a “drink,” says the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). A “standard drink” in the U.S. is de� ned as any drink that contains 0.6 � uid ounces or 14 grams of pure alcohol. For regular beer that is equivalent to 12 � oz, for table wine 5 � oz, and for 80-proof spirits 1.5 � oz. For beer that’s about 150 calories and for wine 100 calories. For hard liquors, especially when mixed or combined with other in-gredients in cocktails, those numbers can be much, much higher.

Beware of hidden calories in all the good holiday cheer

LWSD superintendent: Student safety is always at the forefront of efforts

In light of the the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Lake Washington School District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce has sent an email out to parents and guardians stating that student and school commu-nity safety is “always at the forefront” of their efforts.

In the letter, Pierce said the district does think about the possibility of these types of incidents and prepares for them with response plans that address a range of emer-gency situations.

“We have lockdown pro-cedures that we practice, as a way to keep intruders from getting into classrooms and other parts of the school,” Pierce wrote. “We have com-munications tools, both for alerting police of a situation and alerting parents to what has happened and where to go to be reunited with their children. We do drills to prepare for emergencies, whether natural or man made.”

Pierce’s letter also said that the district practiced their parent-reunification proce-dures in October.

She said the district will encourage schools to review their crisis plans and reinforce school security and campus visitor procedures.

“As part of this effort, we will also reach out to our families and school com-munities to build greater awareness and knowledge regarding these plans,” Pierce added in the letter.

Pierce’s letter has also been posted on the LWSD website.

Hughes reelected to Washington State Board of Education

Close on the heels of the 12K’s of Christmas, Kirkland now celebrates the holidays in yet an-other way – with its local neighborhoods’ extravagant Christmas lights. From brightly-lit Corgies to arches that � ash along with

“Jingle Bells,” houses across town are stepping up their holiday-decoration game, and bene� tting a variety of causes in the process.

First on the tour are the McConnells, who reside at 12837 101st Place N.E. � eir decorations have been a community favorite for years, with more than 50,000 lights serving to

draw visitors from far and wide. Set to 22 minutes of music streamed from an FM radio station (107.3), the couple’s display, which includes a 15-foot-tall rotating tree, is so impres-sive that one year a stranger actually paid their electri-cal bill for them. “It’s like a winter wonderland,” says Barbara McConnell. “We have a stream, a waterfall, deer and trees, as well as lights on the house that look like falling snow.”

However, they didn’t do it for the fame. � e lights are

...obituariesRobert E. Lightfeldt

Bob Lightfeldt passed away December 15, 2012 at the age of 94 after experiencing a stroke last month.

Mr. Lightfeldt was instrumental in changing the face of downtown Kirkland. He spearheaded the drive for the reconstruction of award winning Lake Plaza, converting Commercial Avenue to the tree lined curving Park Lane, and creating the Lake St. parking lot. He successfully worked with property owners to provide the funding to support these projects. He also served on the Kirkland Planning Commission for 8 years, was a Chamber board member and was president of several downtown merchant associations and worked tirelessly on parking challenges.

Bob and Betty, his wife of 63 years, owned Betty’s Apparel in Kirkland for 40 years before she passed away in 2003. They purchased the former Burke and Farrar building in 1965 and remodeled three downtown buildings. They also owned Shady Lady in Totem Lake and Factoria, Satin Lady in Factoria, Betty’s Juanita Village, Kids Stuff and Pants’n Tops. Bob was active in the business after early retirement from Boeing. He also enjoyed doing most of the build outs for his stores.

He will be greatly missed by daughter Karen, son Lorn (Linda), grandson Trevor (Tania), and many nieces and nephews. A graveside memorial service will be held January 14, 2013 at 1:00 at Sunset Hills cemetery with reception following. Donations in Bob’s memory can

be made to Evergreen Hospice.719442

Alice Mae LilienthalAlice Mae Lilienthal went home

to be with Jesus, her Lord and Savior, December 12, 2012.

She was born to Gotlieb and Mary Sorg, January 24, 1915 in Lemmon, South Dakota. This is where she met and later married her husband of 47 years, Amos (Jack) Lilienthal. They moved to Brook Park, Minnesota in 1934. There they resided on their farm in Pomroy

Township for 31 years. During this time they raised a family of 11 children.

In 1966 they moved to Kirkland, WA. Alice worked for 15 years, as a cook and a CNA at Lake Vue Gardens, and Fairfax Hospital in Kirkland.

Through the years Alice’s favorite pastimes were reading, crocheting, and bingo. She also was a trivia enthusiast and loved a good challenge. She was happiest when her home was filled with family and friends, and they could always look forward to the wonderful meals and desserts she was so well known for.

Alice was preceded in death by her husband, Jack, and three sons, Vernon Lillienthal, Phillip Lilienthal, and Leonard Lilienthal, 2 great-grandchildren, Jeffrey Peterson, and Angel Donat, and 1 great-great-grandchild, Hudson Will.

She is survived by six daughters, Joyce Cline (Don) Shawnee Mission, Ks, Judy Parker, North Bend, WA, Karen Steiner (Gary) Brook Park, MN, Vicki Wirtz (Richard) Mesa, AZ, Cheryl Potter (Alan), Clyde Park, MT, Bonnie Brown, Helena, Mt, 2 sons, Rodney Lilienthal (Dorothy) Helena, MT, Ronald Lilienthal (Maride) Snohomish, WA; 29 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren, 22 great-great-grandchildren, and 8 step-grandchildren, 2 sisters Irene Hintz, Faith, SD, and Mildred Crockett, Lemon, SD.

A memorial will be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday, December 20, 2012 at Maltby Christian Assembly in Maltby, WA. Graveside services will be held at the Fall City Cemetery, the following day at 11:00 a.m. Friday, December 21, 2012.

in memory of their late Corgie, Sam, who “used to love interacting with the people who came to see the lights,” Barbara says. “Ever since he passed away, we’ve kept making them bigger and bigger in his honor.” If visitors look closely, they can see a white, decorated Corgie, whose lights are kept on in Sam’s remembrance.

� e McConnells keep a bucket outside for do-nations to Pasado Safe Haven, an animal sanctu-ary located outside Seattle. While there is no pressure to contribute, Barbara admits that “it’s nice when we hear car doors opening and closing.”

� e display’s pro� ts are sizable enough to be fea-tured on Pasado’s website, and the couple makes it a priority to place the lights each year.

“We even put them up the year my husband broke his hip!” tells Barbara. “He was on the roof putting them up in the rain when he fell o� – all our friends came and helped us � nish.”

� e show runs from around 5-9 p.m. every night, but lasts until 11 p.m. on weekends and 12 a.m. on holidays (Christ-mas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day).

Mauricio Stoppa, at 12836 N.E. 132nd Place, is responsible for the next awe-inspiring display.

What started as a high school graduation project for the former Juanita student has developed over the past three years to include more than 20,000 lights, all of which are syn-chronized to music. Songs include All I Want For Christmas Is You, Jingle Bells, and Frosty the Snow-man, and can be listened to at FM radio station 101.9.

With the show running from 5-10 p.m. each night, Mauricio says the best compliment he’s received on his display is simply returning visitors.

“I was � attered when a woman came with her children and had the radio station memorized. She told me she’d been looking forward to seeing the lights all year.”

His favorite part about this year’s set-up are the arches over the driveway, which “kind of look like � reworks.”

� ere’s a basket outside for food donations to Hopelink, “a food bank close to home so visitors can be contributing to

their community.”You can’t miss Anthony

Mish’s Kirkland home, with a huge illuminated Seahawks’ logo welcom-ing visitors above his front

door. Mish, a contrac-

tor by trade, has thousands of lights strung outside his

home, but also of-fers a unique treat to

visitors.Inside his house, located

at 11217 N.E. 100th St. in Kirkland, is a mini-winter wonderland of sorts, with

several � owing streams and waterfalls, ponds, snow and illuminated min-iature houses.

He has set up donation boxes where visitors can drop o� canned food, or donations for Toys for Tots, Seattle Children’s Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Mish could not be reached for comment.
