What do you get when a cross dressing former Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce director, Elvis and a Viking show up at Marina Park on New Year’s Day? � e 12th annual Polar Plunge in Kirkland.

Hundreds gathered to watch their friends, family and neighbors start 2014 with a dip in chilly Lake Washington. � e tempera-

ture of the water was about 45 degrees.

“� is is one of several selections in my closet,” said Kirkland resident Timmy Woods, who tied for best costume by dressing in a Viking hat, rainbow tutu and not much else. “� e water was surprisingly warm.”

Woods and Doug Davis, clad in a thick robe, pink wig and evening gown, won the uno� cial costume contest. Local blogger Rob

Butcher dressed as Elvis, while his wife, Kate, was dressed as a bunny.

Kirkland resident and Polar Plunge veteran Mary Ahrensfeld came in her robe and swim suit.

“It is a good challenge,” said Ahrensfeld. “� is is my seventh or eighth year. I have decided to do it every year so I know exactly what year I can’t do it anymore.”

Big last-minute push for marijuana licenses in KirklandBY RAECHEL DAWSON

[email protected]

The Washington State Liquor Control Board is over satu-

rated with marijuana retail, producing and processing license applications now that the application dead-line has closed.

And although sta� con-tinues to update the long list of license applicants with prospective locations, it’s clear Kirkland is an attractive place for those looking to make a buck o� recreational marijuana.

As of Jan. 7, 33 marijuana retail license applications were submitted for various

locations around Kirk-land, despite the law that states Kirkland is allowed two marijuana stores. � e Liquor Control Board has received 12 marijuana pro-ducing license applications and 14 marijuana process-ing license applications for locations in Kirkland.

� e most popular loca-

tion for a potential marijua-na store is the controversial 1818 Market St. address, which currently has � ve hopeful applicants using the address for licensing pur-poses. � e property owner placed the 660-square-foot o� ce space for sale a� er learning business owners were hoping to use that

location for a marijuana shop.

� e property price was originally $769,000 but has since jumped to $850,000, according to Skyline Prop-erties, Inc.

Several Kirkland resi-dents were upset about this speci� c location because the commercial zone is in

a heavily residential area, surrounded by homes.

“Kirkland is a progressive city, but progressive does not mean ‘anything goes,’” said Kirkland resident Kirstin Larson. “Marijuana businesses do not belong in residential neighborhoods. City leaders need to take

Council approves Totem Lake master planBY RAECHEL DAWSON

� e hidden, and some may say ‘forgotten,’ lake in the heart of the Totem Lake business district � nally has a plan for greatness.

But � nding the funds to implement that plan could take some time.

Last month, the Kirkland City Council approved the Totem Lake Park master plan, which would turn the 17 acre piece of land and lake into a park with a loop-ing boardwalk, a restroom facility and a play area.

However, construc-tion could cost between $9.7-12.5 million and those funds will take a couple of years to secure, said Parks and Community Services Deputy Director Michael Cogle.

“I think [the biggest chal-lenge is] probably just going to be the funding,” Cogle said. “It’s de� nitely a doable vision, but it’s going to take considerable funding. People need to be patient, it’s not all going to happen at once … When you’re talking about projects $10 million-plus, those can take several years, if not decades, to get fully implemented.”

Because there are no funds designated in the cur-rent Capital Improvement

Program, city sta� will be preparing a recom-mendation to include Totem Lake Park in the 2015 Capital Improvement Program update. Work on the recommendation will begin as early as this spring with approval by the end of 2014.

Between now and then, city o� cials will submit a 2014 grant application to the State of Washington’s Recreation and Conserva-tion O� ce for matching funding for the � rst phase of project construction.

“It’s a good candidate,” Cogle said. “We think it’s a very exciting project that meets a lot of the goals of the state’s Recreation and Conservation O� ce.”

City o� cials will also negotiate the transfer of Totem Lake from the King Conservation District to the city, as it is currently co-owned between the two entities. However, the improvements could still occur without land acquisition from the King Conservation District as they occur on the park property itself, Cogle said.

City o� cials will also pursue partnership oppor-tunities with developers of adjacent and surrounding private properties so they can fully implement the plan.

“In looking at the ad-jacent properties around the lake, the Yuppie Pawn site has met all objectives,” Cogle said. “Brian Lurie, the owner, has been part of the process and has encouraged us to consider that property for an upland parcel.”

� e master plan, created by sta� at the architecture � rm Berger Partner-ship, divides the park into six par-cels, each with an upgrade.

� e upland parcel is located near the Yuppie Pawn Shop and Tavern, and Cafe Velocé. It is the park’s current entrance and would continue to be a gateway into the wetland area. Hoping to eventually purchase the Yuppie Tav-ern owner’s property, city o� cials plan to create an area with a restroom facil-ity, 10 stall parking lot, a lawn terrace, play area, benches, picnic tables and bike racks. � e area would serve as an entrance to the boardwalk that would loop around the lake.

� e north edge parcel, where the current over-look pier is located, would be served by a new and improved overlook deck, a seat wall and some wet-land enhancement. � is section could also include pathways to two sets of switchback stairways leading up Evergreen Hill toward EvergreenHealth Medical Center. But

because the pro-posed Evergreen terrace climb is along the Seattle City Light right of way, city of-� cials will need to negotiate with Seattle City Light to address concerns over the high trans-mission lines overhead.

� e east edge will add an entirely new sec-tion of board-walk, surrounded by untouched wetlands. � e boardwalk will

connect to the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s sec-tion by a bridge. � e Cross Kirkland Corridor, which has its own master plan by Berger Partnership, will include amenities along the regional bike trail. � e east edge bridge will continue over the corridor and to the King County parcel, reconnecting a small stream to the lake.

� ere will be a seating and viewing area along

the Cross Kirkland Cor-ridor, which meanders south and will connect to a spiral overpass. � e overpass, which connects to the west edge of Totem Lake Park, will also allow pedestrians and bicyclists to bypass tra� c at Totem Lake Boulevard Northeast and at Northeast 124th Street.

� e west edge of the park will cut through wetland and is adjacent to Totem Lake Boulevard Northeast. � is piece of boardwalk is the last section, completing the loop around. � e master plan calls for additional wildlife habitat pond enhancements that would be achieved by creating shallow pools.

Because there are some sensitive wildlife areas, bi-cyclists will be encouraged to slow down when biking the looping boardwalk.

Cogle said while there may be some trees or vegetation removed dur-ing construction, the end result will be a net positive impact. � e city will add more conifer trees, they’ll revegetate native plant species and improve the overall wildlife habitat.

� e Council will prioritize the construc-tion phases during the bi-annual budget process. Cogle said that depending on which phase is under construction, it could be done in a way that doesn’t close down the park.

“One of the things we’ve heard a lot from the community was to create a looping-trail experience around the lake,” Cogle said. “We can begin to accomplish that by doing an initial phase that would connect the trail to the Cross Kirkland Corridor

and then from that you can pretty much walk around the lake.”

� e phases would be completed as funding al-lows, which could include construction of multiple phases at once or each consecutively.

� e city will go through the typical permitting re-quirements and will begin to hash-out details as they go through the “robust” permitting process.

But for now, many rejoice that the forgotten lake now has a concrete plan for the future.

“I’m really excited to have a vision of how this beautiful underval-ued hidden asset can be shared as a jewel in the Totem Lake area,” Cogle said. “When you think about how that area is going to redevelop over time with taller buildings, there’s just not a lot of green.”

The new year brings opportunity. No one knows that better than new Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen and the rest of the

Kirkland City Council. � e Reporter sta� would like to congratulate the new leaders of the Kirkland City Council. But the council has many issues to deal with this year and they will have an impact on Kirkland residents’ lives for decades to come.

For a long time now the biggest issue in Kirk-land has been the underachieving Totem Lake area. Just o� I-405 and right next to the biggest employer in the city, the area has been underuti-lized by retail for far too long. � e Totem Lake Malls is a big part to the puzzle. Ownership has been locked in a contentious court battle for years, making it impossible for the property to be redeveloped. And while that part of the equa-tion has not changed, the city has been working on making redevelopment in the area more desirable for when the court case has come to a close.

� e redevelopment of Totem Lake - and yes, there is an actual lake - would help exponentially in making redevelopment desirable. � e lake is just a stone’s throw away from the malls. It sits next to one of the city’s biggest projects, the Cross Kirkland Corridor, which will link major parts of the city with a biking and walking trail. � e lake is also just down the hill from Ever-greenHealth. A redeveloped park would bring working professionals from the hospital down the hill and closer to the malls.

� e city recently � nished the Totem Lake Park master plan to redevelop the park. It calls for new walking trails and turning the old shrouded lake into a destination point. But there are no delusions with this project. It will be very expensive and the funding is easily the biggest hurdle. But the potential economic impact, not to mention to Kirklanders’ quality of life, cannot be overlooked. � e cost with this project has to be balanced with the economic rewards.

� e city has already worked to improve the area for drainage and transportation, among other things. � e city will complete the building of the Public Safety Building behind the Fred

Meyer and near Kirkland’s only dog park. It is working toward making the malls and the Totem Lake area as a whole an irresistible redevelop-ment opportunity. We have already begun to see many businesses and developers move in to capitalize on the work with the construction of Slater 116 and the new Toyota of Kirkland deal-ership. A redeveloped Totem Lake Malls would be a crown jewel and a big piston in Kirkland’s economic engine of the future.

� e new city leadership will have many proj-ects to consider this year. We hope they con-tinue to focus on the Totem Lake revitalization because we are starting to see results.

Reusable bags’ positives outweigh negatives

� e letter titled, “Find another solution other than reusable bags” points out the potential drawbacks of reusable bags. While there is no perfect solution to our pervasive use of plastic bags, I believe reusable grocery bags’ positives far outweigh their negatives.

According to FoodSafety.gov, a food safety informational site, reusable cloth bags can be washed regularly in the washing machine with laundry detergent and thoroughly dried to eliminate harmful bacteria. To educate shop-pers, signs could be posted in grocery stores to remind them to wash their reusable bags when needed. One key exception to the bag ban is that plastic bags would still be used for produce and meat products to prevent cross contamination.

It is true that some reusable bags have been found to contain lead. � e San Francisco Chronicle reported that a Seattle laboratory tested 71 di� erent reus-able bags, and 16 cheaply made bags contained high levels of lead. Richard Geller, the medi-cal director for the California Poison Control system, notes in the article that you would have to eat the bag for there to potentially be a prob-lem. � e majority of bags do not contain lead. � e public should be encouraged to buy them and avoid those that do contain lead. Ideally, those containing lead would be taken o� the market or remanufactured without lead.

� e anti-reusable bag movement is led by groups such as the Center for Consumer Free-dom, quoted by Ms. Lupton in a previous letter. � e center according to the Washington Post,

is a non-pro� t advocacy group largely backed by the tobacco, liquor and food industries. � e group was started by Richard Berman, a lob-byist and lawyer who also has a hand in other restaurant-supported groups. � e group has received large donations from Philip Mor-ris, the nation’s largest tobacco company, and has previously fought against banning indoor smoking. As the Washington Post article notes, they have disputed � ndings from the Centers for Disease Control and other agencies dedi-cated to protecting citizens’ rights and health. Other advocacy groups have asked for the IRS to revoke their 501(C)(3) status.

� e Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a British Environmental Agency study found that a non-woven polypropylene bag needs to

be used only 11 times, compared to 131 for a cotton bag, to make a positive environ-

mental impact. I would urge the city to encourage the right reusable bags to be used by consumers to reap the great-est environmental bene� t. I like Ms.

Lupton’s idea of using cardboard boxes in the way Costco does, although that may not

be practical when buying fewer items in non-warehouse stores.

I do not believe shoppers would drive to other cities to avoid a � ve cent fee. � e added fuel cost in doing so would far outweigh the minimal fee. � e purpose of the fee is to dis-courage environmentally harmful bags, such as plastic and paper bags. We are already seeing in cities such as Seattle that consumers will form the habit of bringing their bags with them to the store. To encourage this habit in Kirkland shoppers, stores could post signs reminding consumers to bring their own bags.

In conclusion, I’d like to encourage the people of Kirkland to check the facts on the environmental impacts of reusable bags in place of plastic bags. Our number one con-cern is keeping Kirkland safe and healthy for generations to come. I truly believe that ban-ning plastic bags at the checkout line is best for Kirkland’s future.Ryan Boyle, Kirkland

Why rush I-502 things?� e Center for the Study of Cannabis and

Social Policy published the following stats. Out of about 75 jurisdictions three dozen cities, ranging from Redmond to Pullman, have im-posed moratoriums of six months to one year. O� cials in about two dozen cities have passed zoning rules dictating where the shops, gardens and processing facilities can open. Wenatchee, SeaTac and Lakewood have banned pot until it is federally legal. Fourteen cities have taken no action, including Kirkland. � e Kirkland City Council is in the minority and other cities are proceeding more cautiously or listening to their constituents.

� e Washington State Liquor Control Board has asked the state attorney general for a legal opinion on whether cities and counties have the authority to bar the businesses from opening. � is is uncharted territory, even for the board. So why rush things?

A “Pizza delivery” type of operation is not prohibited, resulting in delivery drivers congre-gating at the retail outlets, waiting for delivery calls.

The Lego Brick Fest was held at the Boys and Girls Club in

Kirkland on Jan. 4. � e event was directed by Bekki Jo Kahler, an enthusiastic Kirkland resident with two Lego-loving kids. � e family was inspired to organize this fundraising event a� er they attended the Brick Fest in Oregon hosted by the Lego Com-pany.

Kahler and her kids

decided to donate the proceeds from the event to charities that are meaning-ful to their family. � ey

chose the Ameri-can Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Keystone Club. ASPCA provides abused or neglected animals with the care and help they need.

� e Keystone Club is a national teenage leader-ship group that focuses on college preparation, career

development and commu-nity issues and is a division of the Boys and Girls Club. Erik Touhey, coordinator of the Kirkland Keystone club, explained that the group is raising money to attend a national conference in Anaheim, California later in the year.

� e event had several sponsors; both companies and individuals who do-nated money toward buying Legos. Some sponsors donated Legos they already had. With these necessities taken care of, the event was ready to start! Set up was done by Kahler, her sister, and her family along with the Boys and Girls Club. “Going forward, we really want this to be an annual

event that will become big-ger and better,” says Kahler of the Kirkland Brick Fest.

At the event, kids of all ages came and played with Legos. � ere were lots of Legos available, and between a bridge building competition and a whole room of other Lego-lovers, everyone was excited! Five year old Aidan and his dad were having fun building jet planes and other construc-tions. Aiden’s dad works at PCL, one of the event spon-sors, and had found out about the event through an email from the company.

And despite the sunny weather, which made it tempting to play outside, die hard Lego Lovers still kept their head in the game,

arriving to the event ready for fun. Look out for next year’s Brick Fest which promises to be even bigger

and better.

Allison Ho� is an 11-year-old Kirkland resident.

Sports are so much more than just good fun. Getting involved with sports leads to physical � tness and robust health. For children, its bene� ts include healthy weight maintenance and improved blood circulation and cardiovascular health. Best of all, participation in sports has also been shown to have a bene� cial e� ect on academic success.

Scienti� c studies have demonstrated that participating in sports activities has a positive impact on school drop out rates. � is can be explai-

ned in terms of an increased sense of con� dence and be longing. Phy sical ac tivity also im proves one’s ability to concentrate. When students are more concentrated in the classroom, the learning process is facilitated.

Children who participate in a sport on a regular basis also have im proved lifestyles, including better sleep habits and diet. � ese students tend to opt for healthier foods, avoid smoking, and get better rest at night. In general, their moods also seem less volatile, which makes them much more pleasant to live with!

� e social aspect of team sports should not be forgotten either. On a team, children learn to communicate better and integrate themselves into a group environment. For those who could bene� t from learning better social skills, playing a sport can help them build friendships and learn to deal with disappointment.

Even though participating in sports ac tivities can in crease the risk of injury for children, the bene� ts they gain greatly surpass the risks. It is important that children enjoy their chosen sport, so giving them the opportunity to try a few di� erent activities is de� nitely the right way to go.

1,000 reasons to do a sport

Participating in a sport can helpboost a child’s academic success.

Remember the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Unfortunately, that’s just not enough in the case of children and teen agers. Scienti� c research con� rms that in addition to a healthy diet, we have to do one hour of physical exercise every day of the week in order to ensure proper development and overall good health.

But between school, homework, and spending time with friends, it’s not always easy to � t physical activity into their busy schedules. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to � nd a way to include some movement or sports in their daily lives. � is can be done with a few small changes that will barely be noticed by children.

In the morning, encourage them to walk to school, if it is feasible, instead of catching the school bus. � ey will not only bene� t from the fresh air but they’ll also be more attentive in the classroom. At lunchtime, register them in a sports program o� ered at their school. Swimming, basketball, and track and � eld, for example, are all sports that expend a lot of energy.

Organize some family sports

activities in the evenings and on weekends. Parents can set the example to help their children understand the importance of physical exercise. Register for some classes that all the family can attend if this is within your means. If not, take advantage of the sports facilities in your municipality.

If children are overweight or have a fragile state of health, it is very important to adapt to their reality. Choose amusing activities, without a competitive element, and you’ll have a better chance of maintaining their interest and enjoyment for much longer.

Some exercise every day keeps the doctor away

Organizing a family sports activity will allow you to spend quality time with your children.

Marijuana license applicantsThe following is a list of marijuana license applications for potential businesses in Kirkland, as of Jan. 7

proactive steps to ensure dispensaries are located in safe, commercial, well-lit locations. The contrast is stark -- the application for 12700 NE 124th … makes so much more sense than Market Street -- it is commercial, surrounded by other businesses, not bordered by a neighbor-hood, out of the footpath of kids.”

At least three other ap-plicants have used different Market Street addresses as well.

“There are many other applications also for sites all along Market Street -- none of these sites are appropriate as there is no buffer between Market Street businesses and homes,” Larson said. “Market Street is in the middle of a neighborhood, filled with walkers and kids riding bikes to and fro.”

Another popular spot is at 12525 Totem Lake Boulevard NE, with three applicants listing the ad-dress. The address is in front of Totem Lake Malls and appears to be a vacant space in the west part of the mall parking lot near Key Bank.

The other marijuana re-tail license applicants have used other addresses that spread across Kirkland but have a heavy concentration in the Totem Lake Business District.

As the board goes through the licensing process, which may take between 60 and 90 days ac-cording to Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter, several factors will be considered for each individual application.

Operating and floor plans, personal and criminal history statement, fingerprint cards, identifi-cation, business structure forms, lease information, purchase agreements, source of funds statement, copies of bank statements and affidavits are all docu-ments the board will be sifting through during this time.

At some point in the li-censing process, the Liquor Control Board will notify the city or local authority that a marijuana license application was submitted for that city. The head of that city then has 20 days to respond with an approval, objection or no response

letter for each individual application.

City of Kirkland spokeswoman Marie Jensen said the city’s Licensing

Division will be noti-fied, in which they’ll

send the application to the planning department, police department and city attorney’s office.

After the city sends the Liquor Control Board their letter, the board will return to their investigation and if the license is approved, the city will be notified again. If the business meets the city’s criteria then the business will need to apply for a business license with the city, another sometimes lengthy process.

“We have not ever re-ceived an official notifica-tion per their process,” Jensen said. “They haven’t sent us anything to com-ment on.”

Jensen said the city staff were informed of the ap-plications using the 1818 Market St. from the raw

data the board updates every Tuesday.

She said the city has had internal discussions on whether or not they’ll publicize when they are notified by the Liquor Con-trol Board on such business applications.

After a final inspection is done by a Liquor Control Board officer, a lottery will be done for those business owners who have listed the same address as their hopeful marijuana store location.

Carpenter said details of these lotteries will be issued as public information but doesn’t anticipate when that could be.

“There are 5,000 applica-tions, each one is unique,” he said. “They’re being dealt with in the order received.”

The public comment period is still open, ac-cording to Carpenter. But Larson urges the commu-nity to give input to the city of Kirkland because they ultimately have authority.

“… The city should be helping the state under-stand where these busi-nesses make the most sense here in Kirkland, rather than taking a ‘do nothing’ stance,” Larson said. “I-502 is written to allow for input from municipalities just for this reason.”

Kirkland has a Planning Department

problemKirkland city govern-

ment has a big problem in the Planning Department. The department con-tinues to operate selectively issuing special favors to builders and indi-viduals regardless of the city’s zoning code, rules

and Comprehensive Plan.Like Potala Village,

Touchstone Corpora-tion’s re-development

plans for Parkplace received a multi-million dollar gift from our Planning Department by

way of approval to construct 2,000 fewer

spaces than required by city code. While Potala

Village and Parkplace are the best known, these are not the only examples of the largesse of our Planning Director. No resident or business owner of Kirkland should feel that their investment is insulated from the subjective actions of his department.

By allowing the Plan-ning Department to

continue to operate as an unpredictable entity, the city of Kirkland will nev-er move ahead to fulfill its potential. Smart home and business owners will avoid Kirkland in favor of municipalities where the codes and plans are taken seriously and applied consistently.Cindy Smith, Kirkland

Terri Fletcher came decked out in Seahawks gear, while others were dressed in everything from a toilet seat to but-ter� y wings. Nearly all of them entered the water at 1 p.m. in their costumes.

But most, like Scott Brackett and his son Brayden, would not agree with Woods’ characteriza-tion of the water’s tem-perature.

“It was refreshingly cold,” said Scott Bracket, who lives on Finn Hill. “I couldn’t tell you if it is warmer or colder than in years past. I can just tell you it is cold. But it is a great start to the New

Year.”� e Bracketts, like many

in Kirkland, have made it a family event. Eric Fuller and his family of seven came from Sammamish.

“We wanted to make it a family tradition,” said Fuller, who participated for the second year in a row. “We are here with another family of 10.”

Most would acknowl-edge it takes a little more than guts to brave the cold.

“It is crazy,” said Jana Fuller. “Because I am middle aged it makes me feel young again.”

� is year the entire park was packed full of people who did everything from, watch, dip a toe in the

water, to swim all the way out to the warning buoy about 25 yards from shore.

� e King County Ma-rine Patrol was on hand in case anyone was unable to get back to shore. A deputy said that there were three emergencies at other Polar Bear Plunge locations around King County prior to 1 p.m. on New Years’ Day. � ere were no visible emergen-cies at Marina Park.

� e city of Kirkland used to host the event but it is now an unsanctioned gathering.

“� ere are more people, more of a buzz and no bon� re,” said Brackett. “I guess stupidity reigns.”

Hundreds of people showed up at Marina Park in Kirkland on New Years’ Day for the 12th annual Polar Plunge. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter

said at the Council meet-ing. “We have a stellar line of previous mayors and I’m going to work very hard to live up to the legacy that they’ve left.”

Walen said she was very thankful for Councilwom-an Doreen Marchione’s service as Deputy Mayor because “her experience, wisdom and regional con-nections” served the city well. But Walen is excited to have Sweet’s energy, en-thusiasm and work ethic as she fulfills the Deputy Mayor position.

Sweet was Deputy Mayor for the first two years of her first term in 2010.

“I loved it but I really didn’t know what I was doing,” Sweet said. “My second term, I’m really excited because I think, particularly with Amy coming on board with so much energy, we’re going to do a whole lot of great things to keep Kirkland the special place that it is.”

Walen, Position 5; Sweet, Position 3; new Councilman Jay Arnold, Position 1; Councilwoman Shelley Kloba, Position 2, and Councilwoman

Marchione, Position 7, took the Oath of Office administered by City Clerk Kathi Anderson, as Councilmen Toby Nixon and Dave Asher watched nearby.

Walen and Sweet both began their terms on the Council in January 2010.

Both have served on the Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committees.

Walen has also served on the Finance Commit-tee and the City/School District Coordinating Committee, while Sweet has served as the chair of the Public Safety Commit-tee and vice chair of the Disability Board.

Kirkland City Council meetings are typically held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at City Hall in the Council Chambers at 7:30 p.m. Public comment opportu-nities are available at the beginning of the regular meeting and at the end if the meeting reaches that point before 10 p.m.

BY JOHN BOYLE

Herald Writer

Despite boasting an impressive college resume, Russell Wilson watched NFL teams pick 74 players ahead of him in the 2012 dra� , including a punter. � e snub was not based on Wilson’s skills or productivity, but on something beyond his control — his height.

Yet where most teams saw 5-foot-10 5/8 as an insur-mountable hurdle for an NFL quarterback, the Seahawks

saw a player with enough go-ing for him to overcome his lack of height. Here’s what has allowed Wilson to transcend his diminutive — by NFL quarterback standards, at least — stature:

HEADWilson’s work ethic is

legendary. He will out-work, out-study and out-prepare just about any opponent, and has the intelligence not just to be prepared for a game, but also to know how to

keep himself safe on the run, a key element for a mobile quarterback.

EYESPlenty of quarterbacks can

buy time with their legs; few are as adept at keeping their eyes down� eld as they move, leading to huge plays when the coverage breaks down. Vision is also key for shorter quarterbacks who need to be able to � nd passing lanes through taller linemen.

HANDSWilson may be under-

sized for a quarterback, but he actually had the biggest hands of any quarterback at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine. � at’s imperative for ball security, especially for a quarterback who plays in a soggy climate.

ARMO� en times undersized

quarterback means under-sized arm, but that’s not the case with Wilson, who has a powertful arm, even by NFL standards. And, perhaps just as important, that arm is extremely accurate.

What makes Russell so good?

LEGSWilson’s weekly Houdi-

ni acts don’t just keep him out of harm’s way, they set up some of the Seahawks’ biggest plays. Wilson could thrive as a pocket passer, but his elusiveness and running ability only make Seattle’s offense that much more difficult to defend.

FEETWilson’s arm strength

helps him make those impressive throws on the run, but so too does his ability to get his feet in proper position even while evading pressure. Proper footwork within the pocket is essential for any quarterback, but es-pecially for an undersized one who needs to be in the right place to find the right passing lanes.

HEARTNo matter how physically

talented or intelligent Wilson is, he still had to overcome a lifetime of people telling

him he was too small, that he should stick with baseball or move to safety or wide receiv-er. Wilson’s belief in his ability to be great is a big reason why he’s become one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks.

Welcome to Bishop’s Ale House ! If you haven’t yet been to Bishop’s, please stop in. Our motto is “Eat, Drink, Enjoy Life” and it is at the root of what we have become-A Neighborhood Bar. Hopefully, we are your “Go-To” bar.

Viewed from afar, Bishop’s looks very much the same since it was established in February 2003. But, we have been evolving since we opened our doors. We have focused on improving our service, our food and drink. Our goal has always been to provide an enjoyable experience.

In addition to our food and drink, we tried a lot of different diversions including live music, Karaoke, pool tournaments, trivia, “Open Mike”, the list goes on. And, we tried the latest liquors, beers and wines. In the end, we felt that Bishop’s should be built around “Consistent Quality” and a warm, fun but laid-back atmosphere. We want our establishment to be a place where folks above the age of 21 can sit down with friends and family to “Eat, Drink, Enjoy Life.”

To that end, we are constantly reviewing our offerings of food, wine, beer and liquor. We want our customers to � nd something that pleases them and everyone in their party.

Lately, we have begun to integrate more premium liquors, more micro brews from quality local breweries and a new line of wines. The changes in our food offerings have been more subtle. We will always serve “Pub Food”, but the search for better ingredients, dressings and condiments is where we see our opportunity to excel.

Finally, all of us on the staff at Bishop’s want to make your next visit one of many to come. We promise to give you prompt and courteous service. We will listen intently to your needs and � ll them to the best of our ability. We want you to say to yourself when you leave, “The food was delicious, the drinks were great, we had a terri� c time!!”.

For some near the Kirkland and Kenmore boundary the New Year started with a bang – literally.

An explosion from medical marijuana manu-facturing rocked an apart-ment complex in the 7000 block of Northeast 142nd Street just off Juanita Drive Northeast at about 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday.

“The guy has a le-gal medical marijuana license to grow for some patients,” said Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray. “They left the butane stuff running and then went to heat it up. It would be like leaving the propane on in a covered barbeque and then going to light it.”

The two people inside the apartment where the blast took place were tak-en to Harborview Medical Center for possible burns but were later released

with minor injuries.“It was enough to singe

their hair but they were lucky,” said Murray. “The force of the blast blew out a sliding glass door and buckled the walls.”

A lamp was also ejected through a window on the front side of the apart-ment.

Residents of the apart-ment unit below the blast were not injured during the event. Authorities are not allowing tenants of ei-ther apartment unit to re-enter until they can make sure it is safe. Both units were damaged by the blast and ensuing small fire.

Murray said that because the man has a license to grow medical marijuana the only charg-es that could be pursued is reckless endangerment.

LWSD’s LINKS program needs volunteers

Lake Washington School District’s LINKS program, which helps students achieve their goals and make a di� er-ence in their overall school experience by matching them with volunteers, is recruiting community volunteers.

Volunteers meet once a week with a student or a small group of students to practice math, reading, writ-ing or science. Volunteer op-portunities include being an academic mentor, providing classroom help or tutoring students during a� er-school study programs. � e needs in middle and high school study

programs are increasing.Volunteers are needed

throughout Kirkland, Red-mond and Sammamish and they are asked to commit one hour per week. Cur-rently, LINKS has 40 unmet requests for volunteers from sta� , and the requests range from kindergarten through high school.

Elementary school requests include classroom volunteers to help kids with reading, writing and math. Middle and high school sta� have requested volunteers to work with students during lunch time and a� er-school study programs. While some students are struggling with science and math, others need help with writing and organizational skills. Organi-zational skills help students keep track of assignments and test dates.

To learn more about LINKS volunteer opportuni-

ties, visit the LINKS page on the school districtwebsite. To register for an upcoming volunteer orientation, email Nanci Wehr at [email protected] or call 425-936-1410.

Pfa� wins award for excellence in teaching math

Kirkland elementary teacher Nancy Pfa� was named the Washington recipient of the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching for mathematics. � e award is the nation’s highest honor for teachers of mathematics and science, including computer science.

“I am thrilled by the positive focus on elementary mathematics education the Presidential Award brings to our community and school district, and I am honored by the recognition,” said Pfa� .

“Nancy shares with her students her passion for problem-solving,” said Lake Washington School District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “She is truly dedicated to helping students learn mathematical thinking. She is very deserving of this recognition.”

� e award is given annu-ally to outstanding K-12 sci-ence and mathematics teach-ers from across the country. � e winners are selected by a panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians and educators following an initial selection process at the state level. Each year the award alternates between teachers teaching kinder-garten through sixth grade and those teaching seventh through 12th grades. � e 2012 awardees teach kinder-garten through sixth grade.

Winners of this honor receive a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation, to be used at their discre-tion. � ey also are invited to Wash-ington, D.C., for an awards ceremony and several days of educational and celebratory events.

Pfa� has been an educa-tor for more than 30 years, specializing for the past two years in sixth grade math-ematics at Horace Mann Elementary in Redmond and Inglewood Middle School in Sammamish in the Lake Washington School Dis-trict. � is school year, she is teaching gi� ed students in

an enrichment program at Blackwell Elementary School in Sammamish and � o-reau Elementary School on Kirkland’s Finn Hill. Her 26 years in the district include work in gi� ed and general education classrooms for third through sixth grade.

Pfa� shared her enthu-siasm for mathematics by developing a school-wide Math Night at Mann El-ementary. Her sixth graders led kindergarten through � � h grade students and their parents in mathematics

games and activities. She built online ex-tensions for students through personal-ized problem-solving and discussions. She adapted games to build con� dence and � ll in skill gaps for struggling students.

� emes evident in Pfa� ’s work with students and teachers include devel-oping mathematics concepts and building meaning through mathematics discus-sions. Beyond the classroom, she is involved in mathemat-ics professional development work for Lake Washington School District. Pfa� is also involved in teacher education at City University in Seattle.

Pfa� has a B.A. in math-ematics and education and an M.Ed. from Washing-ton State University. She is National Board Certi� ed in early adolescent mathemat-ics.

Q: “How did Fox Plumbing & Heat-

ing get started?”

A : Virgil Fox started the

company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment

of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping ev-ery customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.

Q: “What plumbing services do you o� er? And do you do both repair and installa-tion?”

A : If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both � x ailing

systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in � xing old systems. We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be � xed we � x it. We o� er a full range of plumb-ing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by o� ering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catch-ing problems early. We’re very excited to announce that

we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our sta� , provid-ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.

Q: “Do you guarantee your services?”

A : Absolutely, we have the best written war-ranties in the business. We provide our

customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experi-ence with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from cur-rent customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satis� ed customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.

Q: “In an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about a� erhours and on the weekends?”

A : Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks

and furnaces can’t tell time and o� en chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut o� videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we o� en get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we � x

the problem. A� er an emergency many of our custom-ers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great im-provements in their plumbing systems.

It’s All About

SERVICEFast. Professional. Friendly.

I have used FOX Plumbing several times over the years for various problems. Prior to calling them I had used 2 other local companies and found them more interested in selling their products than � xing my problems. FOX has always been responsive, they explain what needs to be done, why and how they will do it--and at a reasonable cost. I own an older home and their sta� know their stu� , they are polite and thoughtful of the customers needs.
