The Kirkland City Council will hold public hearings

on two proposed ballot measures, one for parks and one for roads, that could

raise property tax revenue a combined $5.3 million. � e hearings will take place during the council’s regular meeting on Tuesday at Kirkland City Hall.

� e city has battled tough budget issues during the past � ve years with sales-tax

revenue dropping from $16 million annually to $12 mil-lion. � e levies are meant to bring in revenue to help areas of city maintenance that have been hurt by the economic downturn and seen as important by public surveys.

Nine-year-old Aja Wil-liams had a di� erent agenda than simply watching TV or hanging out with her friends on the weekends like most kids her own age would do.

Instead, she recently

made about 200 bracelets that she sold for $1 apiece to raise money for cancer research.

And she had perhaps the greatest motivation to do so - her father, Leslie. He was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, amyloidosis, last October.

“I was really freaked

out and scared,” said Aja of when she found out her father was sick. Aja, of Kirkland, is a � � h grader at Cedar Park Christian School in Bothell.

Leslie went in for a rou-tine doctor check-up and a urinalysis found he had too much protein. A� er a kidney biopsy and several

bone marrow biopsies, doc-tors diagnosed Leslie with the rare blood disease.

“It’s called amyloidosis and the blood cells basically clone themselves and then they attach to live organs and they shut down the live organs,” he explained. “� ey treat it as cancer and it’s rare. I’m one of the rare,

few lucky ones.”Leslie said at the time of

road conditions. Road condi-tions are rated on a scale of 0-100 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) with an 85 PCI being optimal. The overall PCI of Kirkland roads is at 66, with arterials at a 59 PCI. The levy is projected to improve the arterials to a 76 PCI. The city has an existing back log at $39 million of work.

“The challenge with roads and streets is that if you don’t do it now you will pay more to fix the problem later,” said Triplett.

Triplett said that the levy would help to fix over 90-lane miles in Kirkland or over half the major arterials. The levy would also allow the city to perform preventative maintenance on 650-lane miles of local and neighbor-hood streets.

“This will touch every single area in Kirkland,” said Triplett.

The city has changed course when it comes to paying for road maintenance. City officials briefly took up the idea of a Transportation Benefit District, or car-tab tax. But the issue became a lightning rod, drawing opposition from Kirkland residents and even Mukil-teo resident Tim Eyman to a public hearing to speak against the idea.

The property tax would also pay for more sidewalks

and safe walk routes in the city. Kirkland was the first city in the state to implement a Complete Street Ordinance in an attempt to make all modes of transportation safe. Prior to annexation, 25 percent of Kirkland roads did not have sidewalks and the new neighborhoods of Kingsgate, Juanita and Finn Hill are much worse. The city has also targeted many areas where crosswalks are needed or that need improvements to current crosswalks. Levy funds would allow the city to re-stripe an estimat-ed 230 crosswalks and upgrade 50 cur-rent crosswalks.

The proposed streets levy would add 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for a property owner. It would generate an estimated $3 million annu-ally. The estimated annual cost is $71.20 at the median home value for Kirkland.

The parks levy would cost voters less but also goes towards a quality of life for Kirkland residents, said Trip-lett. Citizens came forward to the council last summer to request a parks ballot measure.

Property owners would see a tax increase of 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and would annually generate an estimated $2.345 million. The estimated annual cost is $55.84 at the median home

value for Kirkland.The parks levy would help

in the maintenance of local parks, including the new Cross Kirkland Trail, allow the city to take over O.O. Denny Park on Finn Hill, restore lifeguards to local beach parks, such as Juanita Beach Park and Houghton Beach Park, and supply forest and habitat restoration.

The levy would help the city to move forward with the Cross Kirkland Trail Master Plan. The trail is to

be built on a 5 mile stretch of land that used to be

owned by the BNSF rail line. Triplett said that the project is projected to receive

as much as $3 million in state and federal funds

for the renovation.The only park affected

in the new neighborhoods will be O.O. Denny Park. All other parks in the those neighborhoods are run by King County. But city officials point out that most residents do not just use the parks in their neighbor-hoods.

O.O. Denny Park is owned by the City of Seattle but maintained by the Finn Hill Park and Recreation District, which has taxing author-ity over some residents on Finn Hill. The levy would allow the city to take over the maintenance of the park.

The current taxing

authority for the Park and Recreation District expires in 2014. District officials have not decided if it would disband immediately if the levy passes or wait until 2014 and use those funds to make improvements.

The council also autho-rized the recruitment for members to serve on the “pro” and “con” commit-tees who will be tasked to write statements in support and in opposition of the proposed ballot measures to be included in the voter’s pamphlet.

The hearings will be held during the regular council meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber, Kirkland City Hall, 123 5th Ave.

ond street is Market Street – from Forbes Creek Drive to 16th Ave.

The two other streets include NE 124th Street - from 93rd Ave NE to 100th Ave NE - and NE 124th Street, from 124th Ave NE to Slater Ave/132nd Ave NE.

It is possible that con-struction schedules may change due to weather conditions. Typical hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. For more information, contact Kari Page, Neighborhood Outreach coordinator, [email protected], or 425-587-3011.

Thank you for giving community a sense of connection

I want to say thank you for publish-ing the graduation announcement for Grant Wilson. We have lived in Kirkland since my son was 5, so I feel it’s nice to have his teachers see that all the hard work they put into educating their students has contributed to their success. I attribute their dedication to instilling a love for learning into both my grown childrens’ outlook on life.

So this note is simply a thank you for providing this service, which helps give our community members a sense of connection, as time moves forward and native Kirklanders try to make a di� erence in this world.Barbara Wilson, Kirkland

Tell us the whole truth about health care costs

Now that the health care mandate has been modi� ed (it’s a tax stupid) and passed by the Supreme Court, we are going to hear waves of informa-tion about reducing health care costs. One very important element that is not talked about is our own personal responsibility for good health. We are a very overweight society, which drives up health care costs. It has been reported that Medicare costs could be reduced by one-third if we eliminated obesity, which is rampant in the U.S.

Will one of our leaders from DC (or locally) ever come before us and

tell us the whole truth about health care costs? � ese costs could be reduced dramatically if each of us would take responsibility for personal health by eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. I know our lead-ers can’t dictate our habits, but they can at least identify and talk about what each of us can and should do to improve personal health and thereby reduce health care costs.Don McConaghy, Kirkland

Thank you for stepping up to feed kids in need

I want to share a success story with you that says a lot about Kirkland. � is summer there will be at least 100 additional sack lunches ready to aug-ment the federally-sponsored, Kirk-land Summer Feeding Program that begins on Tuesday at 132nd Square Park. Because federal rules penalize over-ordering, the incentive is to un-der estimate the number of lunches. Since this is the � rst year Kirkland is running the program, there is no experience to form a good estimate of how many kids will show up for the sack lunches. Yesterday, an appeal went out to as many emails as I could � nd that I guessed were not involved in ongoing food programs. I provided opportunities for folks to provide � ve extra lunches in case the estimates were short. Kirkland responded!

Next Tuesday, there will be 20 extra sack lunches for the kids. In fact, Kirkland volunteers � lled every slot within 24 hours to ensure there will be up to 20 additional lunches, if

needed, EVERY week throughout this summer’s program.

Still, there are a couple of organiza-tions that mustered support beyond the available slots. � e Band of Brother NW and the Lake Washing-ton Optimists have generated power to spare, beyond this program. � ey are eager to assist even more and are coordinating with other programs in the area to see where they may, yet, be of help.

As one volunteer said, “It is much better to have extra that some child may take home than to look a hungry kid in the face when you have just given out the last sack lunch.” � is rapid response to need is a great testament to Kirkland’s character and generosity. I salute all those who were able to sign up.

For those who still want to help, HopeLink has a very well-run, and more comprehensive, End Summer Hunger Program that serves a much broader audience than the Summer Feeding Program that is just starting. You may join in helping that program by visiting: www.hope-link.org/take_action/end_summer_hunger/

I just can’t express su� cient thanks to everyone whose heart was touched by the need. � e community need is certainly great right now. You will have additional opportunities to become part of Kirkland’s Nourishing Network as a new program is rolled out this autumn. In the meantime, if you want to be added to Kirkland’s Nourishing Network email list, just send me ([email protected]) your email. � anks, Kirkland!Dave Asher, Kirkland Councilman

My God teaches only love towards all

Several weeks ago a writer men-tioned some of the hate remarks of a few ministers concerning gays. As a Zionist Christian, I apologize for the apostic remarks any so-called Chris-tian minister makes. � ose were not the remarks of true Christians. Today the Body of Christ is having a problem with apostasy in church ranks. Most of Christianity today is in turmoil, because it has forgotten the Word of God or ignored it over the centuries to satisfy the unfaith-ful within their ranks. � e Christian words of today are not necessarily those written down by our Apostle Paul, as told to him by our Lord.

Christians would rather listen to a minister, Bible teacher or learn from church literature that is far from accurate, than really put some e� ort into the personal study of all Bible scripture. � e church of today is not the church that the Apostle Paul taught us about. Otherwise, there would be no church denominations in Christianity.

Because the physical church has wondered so far from the Truth of God, many will not � nd it. I could sit here all day talking about the false traditions of today’s Christianity, but what good would that do, it is only going to get worse.

So when you hear hateful words coming out of a so-called Christian mouth, remember what I just said. Because my God, the God of Noah and Abraham, teaches only love.Ed Malkowski, Kirkland

The U.S. Supreme Court’s upholding of most of President Obama’s health-care law doesn’t end the discussion of health care in this country. Fixing the system has a long way to go.

The court’s 5-4 decision was somewhat of a surprise. Conserva-tives had argued that Congress could not use the concept of interstate commerce to force everyone to buy health insurance. The court’s majority decision essentially agreed with that.

However, Chief Justice John Roberts and the four liberals on the court said the government’s move amounted to a tax – and that is something well within the power of Congress. People still won’t have to buy health insurance, but they will face a tax liability if they don’t.

As much as the health-care debate has centered on legal argu-ments, the fact remains that our health system is � awed. The new law will � x some of that, but we still have a long, long way to go.

Most Americans have health coverage provided by large employers. They won’t see major changes. The real impact is for the poor.

There are 32 million people in this country who are shut out from having health care. Either they are too poor to a� ord it or they are so sick that a private insurance company won’t provide them coverage.

The law will change much of that, by expanding Medicaid – the federal/state program that helps the poor – and by making Health Bene� t Exchanges available where people can compare costs and bene� ts of health insurance programs.

However, these improvements come at a cost – or at least a concern. Making sure all people have health insurance means

more people will be seeing physicians. Today, there are not enough doctors to treat all these new, potential patients.

The health-care debate will continue – it is, after all, a presiden-tial election year. But if it’s done nothing else, the Supreme Court’s decision has forced politicians and the public to face this issue. That, at least, is a start.

When people think of the USO, many think of entertainment and the stage shows that have li� ed the spirits of troops in combat and remote military locations around the world. And while entertainment has been and continues to be a valuable service provided by the USO, it is only a small part of the many programs and services provided by this nonpro� t organization.

Since 1941 the USO, United Service Organizations, has been supporting American troops and their families in a multitude of ways. � is is why QFC is proud to support the great work of the USO by making it our Charity of the Month for July.

Just about wherever the U.S. military goes, the USO is also there trying to help make the lives of our troops a little bit better. � ree of the services that the USO provides to troops in remote locations are Care Packages, MEGS and USO in a Box.

Care package items are purchased directly from or donated by manufacturers and are purchased using donations. � e USO works

closely with the Department of Defense to distribute packages. MEGS stands for Mobile Entertainment Gaming System. It is a highly durable, easy-to-assemble and disassemble multimedia platform that troops can use to play video games. It supports up to four players and can be set up wherever soldiers are stationed. USO in a Box is small, 250-square-foot portable building that can accommodate up to 20 troops. It has heat or air conditioning for whatever environment it is in and holds features such as Internet access, two rugged laptops, four � at screen televisions, a DVD player, Voice Over Internet Phone and more.

Another valuable service is USO Centers. � ere are over 160 USO Centers in countries around the world where thousands of troops and their families can come to relax, contact loved ones back home, get something to eat and take advantage of various USO programs and services. � ese centers are o� en the � rst support stop for wounded, ill or injured servicemen and women and their families before returning to the U.S.

Back here in the U.S., the USO is constructing two warrior and family centers -- one at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and one in Fort Belvoir, Va. as part of Operation Enduring Care. � e program’s goal is to provide physical and emotional support and to help troops restore their wounded lives in a warm and caring environment.

Unfortunately, not every military member returns home alive. When troops die outside the U.S., the USO has a program to help their loved ones called Families of the Fallen. � e bodies of those who have died

overseas are � own to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and many families travel there to witness the return. � e USO works with families to expedite the travel process to Dover, supports the families’ on-site needs, and introduces parents, spouses, peers and children to special programs to help cope with their grief when they return home.

� e USO stands an exemplary organization that is making a di� erence in the lives of thousands of troops and their families. If you would like to support their e� orts we invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand. � ank you for your support!

Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett gave the State of the City address at the Cham-ber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon at � e Woodmark Hotel on Tuesday. But in Triplett’s way of thinking, it is more of a state of livability address.

“Kirkland is a quality of life city,” said Triplett. “For busi-nesses, two-thirds are here because the founder or owner lives here.”

He said the state of the city is looking brighter, but there is still more work to do.

With the economy no longer in steep decline, the city has moved forward with the 2012 Work Program that includes many needed improvements to keep up with last year’s annexation, needs in the business com-munity and regular city-wide maintenance.

Triplett explained that the city received $16 million in sales tax revenue in 2007 but that income declined to $12 million last year. � ere is still a forecast of a 4-5 percent reduction in the budget this year as well.

“� e good news is that this is based on very conservative assumptions,” said Triplett.

� e city is attempting to resolve some collective bargaining agreements that would help in closing the continued budget gap.

“We have had a great relationship,” said Triplett of recent negotiations that resulted in wage freezes.

Triplett said that King County instated health care reforms, which has saved $61,000 and the city is at-tempting to do the same.

� e Kirkland City Council is also expected to pass two ballot measures for Novem-ber on Tuesday. � e mea-sures will let voters decide if they want to � ll the budget gap for road maintenance and parks with new property tax levies. For more on this, see the story on page 1.

A recent survey the city conducted showed that 85 percent of Kirkland residents surveyed said the city is a very good or excellent place to live. Triplett showed the survey results to his son, who is in middle school.

“He said that we got a ‘B,’” said Triplett. “I told him that if a ‘B’ isn’t good enough in his report card it is not good enough for me or the council.”

Survey participants expressed that funding public safety is their top concern.

� e city is preparing to reno-vate a building in the Totem Lake neighborhood for a new public safety building, which will house the police depart-ment, jail and courts. � e project will cost an estimated $40 million.

“Our AAA credit rating saved us a lot of money on this project,” said Triplett.

Renovating the building, as opposed to building a brand new one, also saved the city an estimated $12-15 million, said Triplett.

Triplett also noted other large city projects to improve Kirkland’s livability, such as the Northeast 85th Street Corridor improvements and the Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan.

� e city purchased the old BNSF rail line earlier this year to be used for pedestrians and other modes of transpor-tation.

� e project could have an estimated $3 million in fund-ing for renovations of the old rail line. If the parks levy passes, it would substantially add to that total.

� e survey also showed that recycling is also very important, said Triplett, as a Waste Management o� cial in the audience agreed.

But along with recycling, the survey showed concern

for street maintenance, along with attracting and keeping local businesses.

Triplett talked about how the city dodged a big budget cut as the annexation sales tax credit remained intact through the state’s budget cuts.

Totem Lake continues to be a priority for the city as it rezoned much of the business neighborhood to make it “easier to bring in jobs,” said Triplett. � e city has also done work to make sure that Totem Lake Boulevard does not � ood during heavy rains as it did in 2010.

“We have done some dredging and removed some beaver dams,” said Triplett. “When we had the record rainfalls, we did not have a single road closure.”

Much of the Totem Lake issue revolves around the Totem Lake Malls’ land, which is mostly out of the city’s control as the property’s co-owners are in court with a large lawsuit.

Park Place is also at a standstill with redevelopment as developer Touchstone is currently seeking anchor tenants for the property, said Triplett.

� e Democrat and Re-publican candidates running to replace retiring Democrat Deb Eddy in the 48th Legisla-tive District plan to � le complaints with the state Public Disclosure Com-mission (PDC) concerning the lack of transparency with campaign funding.

Republican Hank Myers, a Redmond City Council-man, claims Democrat Cyrus Habib — or one of his supporters — is responsible for a misleading “push poll,” which attempts to in� uence voter opinion under the guise of conducting an impartial survey without saying who is paying for the campaign messages.

Both candidates deny responsibility for the poll, which asked provocative and suggestive questions about both candidates, according to 48th District voters who received the lengthy, non-automated phone survey.

Myers is concerned that the push poll, which makes negative insinuations against both candidates, will lead to personal attack ads.

“We are tying to establish a record with the PDC that this

has happened,” Myers said of the poll, which he believes is being conducted by the same � rm that allegedly conducted a push poll on behalf of an Eastside Democrat in 2010. “It’s a sleazy-type campaign.”

Habib, a Bellevue at-torney from Kirkland, said that Myers’ push-poll accusations are a distraction tactic and added that he plans to also � le a complaint with the PDC con-cerning Myers’ failure to comply with PDC deadlines.

“My opponent has missed several disclosure deadlines since commencing his cam-paign in May and I do intend to follow up with the PDC to ensure that he is aware of and complies with the law,” Habib said. “I certainly think it’s possible that he and his sup-porters want to distract vot-ers’ attention away from the fact that the mayors of Belle-vue, Kirkland, Redmond and Medina have all endorsed me over my opponent and that even a majority of his own colleagues on the Redmond City Council have chosen to endorse me over him.”

Myers said he has resolved his issues with � ling his reports to the PDC and said all of his reports are current and up to date.

As of Wednesday, Habib has raised $155,100 and spent

nearly $40,000, while Myers has raised $16,347 and spent nothing, according to the PDC website.

Myers, along with the King County Republican Party, is convinced that Habib was somehow � nancially involved in last month’s push poll phone survey of voters in the 48th District.

HARD TO FIGURE OUT

It is di� cult to decipher who is behind the poll, according to voters who received the phone survey.

Former longtime Red-mond City Councilman Richard Cole, who retired last December, said he received the call from a person who asked questions and made positive and negative insinua-tions about both candidates.

“It was so balanced with pluses and minuses on each side,” Cole said. “I have no idea which party paid for it.”

Cole said the phone caller made several “blatantly untrue, outrageous” claims against both candidates, mak-ing it a “distinct possibility that neither candidate knew about it.”

Cole, who is working for the campaign of Democrat Laura Ruderman in the 1st District Congressional race, says he is staying neutral in this race because of his past

work with Myers on the Redmond City Council.

When asked if the poll could be funded by a third party, Myers said “these are not cheap polls. What third party would bene� t from this?”

� e survey asked questions about Habib’s Iranian-American ethnicity, triggering one Re-porter reader to write a letter to the editor that said the poll started out “merely insulting to candidate Cyrus Habib, then became viciously racist.” � e letter writer wrote that she believed the poll was being done on Myers’ behalf.

Another 48th District voter who received the phone survey responded to that let-ter a week later with a letter to the editor and said he got “the impression it was paid for by the Cyrus Habib and/or a Democratic group.”

“I thought there were more negative questions concern-ing Hank Myers than for Cyrus Hybib,” including one question that falsely insinu-ated that Myers did not pay his taxes, the letter writer wrote. � e letter went on to say that “the poll went on way too long and based on the large amount of questions you could make anything you want out of the poll.”

GOP, DEM PARTIES DENY INVOLVEMENT

Myers said he believes the poll is being conducted

by Mountain West Research, an Idaho-based � rm that was � ned in 2010 for a push poll that was a� liated with a Democrat Senate candidate in New Hampshire.

� e King County Republican Party,

which also denied respon-sibility for the poll, issued a press release Monday, saying Mountain West is the same � rm that used a push poll for Democrat Marcie Maxwell in her 2010 election in the 41st Legislative District, which includes Mercer Island, Bellevue and Sam-mamish.

“� e same company used the same unethical tactic in 2010 for another Eastside Democrat,” King County Re-publican Party chairwoman Lori Sotelo said in the press release. “Cyrus Habib is simply the latest Democrat to use this sleazy tactic that is used to illegally spread false rumors without having to include a disclaimer saying who paid for it. It is clear that Habib knows who is doing this.”

Habib said he had nothing

to do with the poll. “I didn’t authorize nor do I condone push polling,” Habib said. “I am not aware of any push polls from supporters and would urge any supporter to not engage in such activity. I feel strongly, as I hope my opponent does as well, that moving our state forward on education, transporta-tion and job growth should be the focus of this race, not insinuations regarding my ethnicity.”

� e King County Democrat Party was also not responsible for the poll, according to the party’s communications and tech-nology chairman Andrew Villeneuve. “Our view is that people who pay for push polls are wasting their money,” Villeneuve said. “If you’re trying to do legitimate opinion research, you have to ask neutral questions, otherwise the answers you get will be of no use.”

Mountain West o� cials did not respond to Reporter’s attempts for comment.

If either candidate was responsible for the poll, it will come out July 17, the next PDC � ling deadline, according to PDC spokes-woman Lori Anderson. Any campaign spending must be itemized and reported to the PDC each month.

48th District candidates Myers, Habib deny involvement with push poll

Goodman receives highest Municipal League rank

� e Municipal League has conducted its annual review

of candidates running for local elected o� ce.

In Kirkland’s 45th and 48th Legislative districts, Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, was the only candidate to receive the highest mark of outstand-ing.

Seeking his fourth term as a state legislator, Good-man is running for Pos. 1 against Republican Joel Hussey, who was rated very good, and Kirkland Democrat Jacob Bond, who was rated not quali-� ed.

For the 45th District’s Pos. 2, both incumbent Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, and Republican Jim � atcher, of Union Hill, were rated very good.

Both candidates for the 48th District’s Pos. 2 also received “very good” rat-

ings, including Kirkland Democrat Cyrus Habib and Republican Hank My-ers, who is also a Redmond City Council member.

For the 48th District’s Pos. 1, Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, was rated very good, while the Municipal

League rated Republican Bill Hirt as not quali� ed.

� e full list of candidate evaluation ratings is posted on the League’s website at www.munileagueratings.org, along with candidate questionnaires and cam-paign websites.

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fi ts your budget ... in just one day!*

A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were diffi cult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems.

Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS

The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their fi eld. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualifi ed specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care.

them,” he said. Leslie received a stem

cell transplant last De-cember at Seattle Can-cer Care Alliance – the treatment arm of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Re-search Center.

Because he didn’t have any symptoms, he said he went into Seattle Cancer Care Alliance feeling great and came out “feel-ing like I had just been through it … I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It totally destroys your GI tract from one end to the other com-pletely.”

He said the chemo-therapy left him without an immune system, so he couldn’t be around his children for several months.

“We stayed with my mom when he was gone,” said Aja. “We got to visit him a few times at his house. It was really hard.”

Following his treat-ment, Leslie had a lot of unused equipment and supplies leftover that he gave back to Seattle Can-cer Care Alliance.

“Part of the conversa-tion was, what happens when people don’t have money, and that was kind of the impetus behind this,” said Leslie. “Aja said she wanted to help

people who didn’t have money who needed to go through treatment.”

Her first goal when she began making bracelets was to raise $50. But she ended up raising $200 for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

“This is one kind,” said Aja, as she pulled up her dad’s sleeve to show an orange and yellow knot-ted bracelet she made for him out of string. “I also have ones that are braided and I did have a sample of knots going diagonal and one called swirl.”

For larger wrists like her father’s, it took her nearly one week to make a bracelet. Other bracelets only took her five minutes to make. She made the bracelets on the weekends, after school and even dur-ing lunch sometimes at school.

Aja said that some people ordered bracelets and she would give them a delivery date; others bought bracelets that she had already pre-made.

“They were like, oh, cool I’ll buy one, after I told them what I was

doing,” said Aja of how people reacted. “My best friend, Brianna was like the one who bought a lot of them.”

Leslie recently found out he is cancer-free.

“I’m in the clear now,” he said. “The only thing I’ve got is a little bit of back problems from some nerve damage that was caused from the biopsies. A little bit of pain, but

I can live with that.”

Aja says she is “really happy” that her father is doing well. She recently toured the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to donate the money she raised. She said she hopes it

will help the facility to “buy medicine and get the right stuff for cancer patients who can’t afford treatment. I think it’s re-ally special that they get to do that.”

What does Leslie think about what his daughter did?

“I’m massively proud of her,” he said. “She has demonstrated an ability to think about others at a very young age and that will serve her well as she grows older.”

K I R K L A N D

As an avid down-town Kirkland restaurant patron,

I feel qualified to opine on the top 10 restaurant and bar tables in downtown Kirk-land.

Here they are: 1. Thin Pan.

(across the street from Anthony’s). Tables in the sun on the bar side, and the corner barstool seats. People watching, Thai food and great views of Lake Washington.

2. Tiki’s (north across the street from Bank of America). The two outdoor tables when the windows are up. Great

people and car watching. 3. Olive You. Corner

bar seats inside and any outdoor table. Great views of the boats, Seattle

skyline and Ma-rina Park, along with quality Mediterranean food.

4. The Slip. Corner bar stool seat in front of the kitchen. Watch the food

come out and people watch.

5. Milagro (“miracle” in Spanish). The six-top, private table outside by the front door. Private, yet outdoors, on the bustling sidewalk on Lake Washington Boulevard.

6. Cactus. Any outdoor table on my favorite street in Kirkland, Park Lane, the street that feels a little like Greenwich Village, N.Y. Cactus has ceviche!

7. BeachHouse Bar & Grill (old Foghorn). Most any table overlooking Lake Washington, but my favorites are the high barstools in the middle of the bar.

8. Vovina. The seats in front of the fireplace. Martini bar, good food, and of course, a view of Marina Park and the boats.

9. Bin on the Lake (Car-illon Point). Any of the outdoor tables overlook-ing the lake and marina.

10. Time Out Tavern. The two outdoor tables on Northeast 85th Street.

See if you can visit all

10 of these tables before summer’s end!

Clean cars, clean creeks

� ough a time-honored tradition, we now know that washing your car in your driveway or on a

neighborhood street pol-lutes waterways via storm drains. � e rinse water from your car contains road grime, oil, grease, heavy metals, and soap. Even small amounts of these pol-lutants are toxic to � sh and other aquatic animals.

Letting your car wash water go into a storm drain not only pollutes your lakes and creeks, it’s also against the law (Kirkland Munici-pal Code Chapter 15.52).

What can you do? Wash your car at a commercial car wash. � ey are required to send polluted wash water to the sanitary sewer system, which cleans and treats water before it is dis-charged to Puget Sound. If you wash your car at home, wash it on a grassy or gravel area, where the wash water will soak into the soil and won’t drain directly to a storm drain.

What about car wash fund raisers? If hosting a car wash fund raiser, make sure to borrow a required Car Wash Kit from Kirk-land City Hall to keep dirty car wash water out of creeks and lakes, or consider rais-ing money by selling com-mercial car wash tickets through the Charity Car Wash Program instead.

Stewards learn during � rst Green Kirkland training event

� e Green Kirkland Part-nership held its � rst train-ing session for volunteer park restoration stewards on June 9. Sta� from the City of Kirkland and For-terra (formerly the Cas-cade Land Conservancy)

trained 14 Green Kirkland stewards, each of whom is assigned to one of six parks currently being restored.

Green Kirkland stewards organize volunteer events to restore forests, wetlands and other natural areas. Without intervention, Eng-lish ivy, Himalayan black-berry and other invasive plants strangle or shade out the native trees and shrubs.

Green Kirkland Part-nership Education and Outreach Specialist Sharon Rodman said, “Natural areas are public assets that provide many bene� ts. � ey clean our air, bu� er noise, retain storm water to reduce � ooding, help � lter water, increase property values, provide habitat to birds and other bene� -cial wildlife, and generate recreational and health bene� ts for residents. It’s in everyone’s interest to keep them healthy.”

At the half-day training

event, stewards learned best practices for planning and managing restoration events in Kirkland parks, planting native plants and controlling invasive plants. � e training was funded through a federal grant received by Forterra.

Over lunch, Jim Cor-son, a Green Seattle Forest steward, talked about his experiences working at restoration sites and his involvement with Friends of the Burke Gilman Trail.

� e stewards received a bag of helpful tools, including pens that write upside down in the rain, thorn-resistant gloves, metal clipboard boxes and a newly-published Stew-ard Field Guide written by Forterra and the Green Kirkland Partnership.

Volunteer stewards work at Cotton Hill, Crestwoods, Juanita Bay, Kiwanis and Watershed Parks, and at Carillon Woods. Green

Kirkland stewards run their own restoration events with the support of the city. � e Green Kirkland Partner-ship hopes to hold training

events annually.For more information

Elderly missing woman found

Kirkland police located an 85-year-old Kirkland woman who went missing from her home on Saturday.

Family members reported the woman went missing from her home, located in the 13500 block of 131st Place N.E. They contacted police

after searching for about 40 minutes in the surround-ing area without success. Kirkland officers searched the surrounding area as did several neighbors.

King County Search and Rescue were contacted for assistance and responded with search dogs and several personnel.

They were able to locate the woman who was disori-ented but unharmed, sitting in the fenced backyard of a vacant home in the neighbor-hood. She was reunited with her family.

Home burglary allegation unsubstantiated

After responding to a report of a home burglary on Tuesday morning, Kirkland police determined that the allegation was unsubstanti-ated.

Kirkland police responded to the burglary in the North Rose Hill neighborhood, in the 12300 block of N.E. 97th St. at 8 a.m.

The caller reported seeing a male within the home with a weapon. Officers inves-tigated the allegation and conducted a K9 track.

There was no sign of forced entry to the home and nothing was taken, said Kirkland police officials.

No suspect was located. The investigation de-

termined the report was unsubstantiated and no further investigation will be conducted.

has not determined Rita’s cause of death.

The woman went missing on May 18 and a hiker found her body June 26 near Yelm in Thurston County. Charging documents allege that Kagawa killed his ex-wife because he owed her $67,000 in military retirement benefits. The couple divorced in 1997 and the woman sued him for the benefits owed. The woman’s 12-year-old daughter had received some text messages from her mother the day she went missing, which was unusual, said police.

[ kagawa from page 1] Council seeks volunteers for ballot statement committees

The Kirkland City Coun-cil is recruiting interested residents to formulate the statements that will appear in the voters’ pamphlet for and against two separate proposed ballot measures: a street improvement and pedestrian safety levy and a parks maintenance, renova-tion, and enhancement levy.

For each ballot propo-sition, the council will appoint one committee to prepare arguments in favor of the ballot measure and one committee to prepare arguments in opposition to the measure. Interested residents should contact the Kirkland City Clerk’s Office at (425) 587-3197 or [email protected] for more information

on the committees and how to apply.

Applications will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday, July 13. The council will make the committee appointments at its July 17 meeting.

The four committees, which will consist of no more than three members each, will be formed to prepare arguments that are limited to 200 words. The “statement for” and the “statement against” (in addition to rebuttals of the opposing statements) will appear in the King County Local Voters’ Pamphlet for the Nov. 6 general election. Arguments are required to be submitted to King County Elections no later than 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 15.

Arguments prepared by the “pro” and “con” commit-tees will be made available to the opposing committees for rebuttal after 4:30 p.m. on

Aug.15. Statements rebut-ting (optional) the argument made by the opposition shall be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 17.
