Summer Concert Series brings out silly fun
Car tab-tax hearing draws over 70 people to city hall
BY MATT PHELPS
Seventy-three people packed the Kirkland City Council chambers
Wednesday night for a public hearing on the proposed congestion reduction charge to help fund King County Metro services.
Th e proposed fee would last for two years and add an extra $20 each year for license tab renewals.
But the extra revenue would help the county agency bridge the remaining $60 million shortfall. Without the extra revenue, Metro would have to reduce the transit system by 17 percent.
“Metro is a workhorse for this region, mainly in getting people to and from work,” said King County Council-man and Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee chair Larry Phillips. “Th is will provide us some very valu-able input from the public.”
And input is exactly what they got, as nearly half the people in the room took the opportunity to speak their mind.
Th e voters in this state have consistently said they want a $30 (car-tab) tax and you should let the voters decide this issue, said anti-tax initia-tive activist Tim Eyman, who lives in Snohomish County. One of Eyman’s biggest initia-tives was to cap car-tab taxes.
Th e issue before the com-mittee is whether to let the congestion reduction charge go to voters, have the King County Council take the vote - which would need a supermajority to pass - or to force Metro to forgo the proposal by King County Executive Dow Constantine and make deep cuts.
“We would like to see the King County Council adopt the ordinance instead of spend-ing $1 million on an election,” said Kirkland City Council-man Dave Asher, who presented
a letter from the council in favor of the ordinance. If the King County Council opts to vote on the ordinance, the measure would need a supermajority to pass. “Th is is an economic issue. Th is is a jobs issue. Th is is a human services issue ... I guess we would ask you to be ‘super.’”
Temporary $20 fee would hold off deep King County Metro Transit service cuts

Spuds hit by counterfeiters, KPD urges vigilanceBY MATT PHELPS
Anyone who has been to Juanita Beach on a Friday night in July knows that it is a popular place. Th e Juanita Friday Market, along with Juanita Beach Park and open businesses, make for a social environment. But a crowded Juanita Spuds Fish and Chips restaurant made for a silent crime that could
happen at any Kirkland business.
Th e business unknowing-ly received three counterfeit $20 bills and the problem is getting more frequent for establishments.
“It’s kind of like musi-cal chairs and it stopped on us,” said Spuds owner Larry Marion. “I don’t want anyone else to have to go through this.”
Kirkland Chamber of
Commerce President Bill Vadino said they heard about the crime on Tuesday morning.
“We are working on something to send all of our members to let them know what happened so they can keep their eyes out for this type of thing,” said Vadino.
Kirkland Police Depart-ment Detective Don Carroll, who works with the Secret Service Electronic Crime
Task Force, said that busi-ness owners need to inspect bills carefully.
“Th is happens a lot,” said Carroll. “We have a lot of counterfeiting. We had a case of 100s in North Bend, Redmond and in Kirkland and those 20s have been running around for awhile.”
Marion admits that his employees did not check the money close enough but

The lawsuit fi led by neighbors of a controversial Puget
Sound Energy substation in Juanita was dealt a blow as a judge threw out the claims against the City of Kirkland on June 24.
Th e decision states that the neighbors did not exhaust all legal avenues prior to the city’s approval. In particular, the judge deemed the neighbors failed to fi le a judicial review of the city’s variance at the time of the ap-proval process.
Under the Land Use Protection Act (LUPA), a judicial review of land-use decisions must be sought within 21 days of the issuance of the land-use decision.
“Th e judge has made it pretty clear in this case that she is not going to make any decision that is outside of her very limited comfort zone, as such she sided with the city and dismissed our claim.” said Michael Heslop, one of the neigh-bors involved in the lawsuit. “Th e judge did say that she felt for the homeowners
in this case and said that it seemed that we tried to show the city that they were doing was wrong. She also asked the city what options we had regarding this issue. Th e city, as usual dismissing any account-ability, responded, ‘We are not their legal counsel so we can’t comment.’”
Th e neighbors now plan to take the case through the appellate process.
“Th ey know what they did was completely
wrong and illegal,” said Heslop of city staff
and offi cials. “Th ey broke their own ordinances, gave special privilege to
PSE, and completely stepped all over the ‘little
guy’ they were elected to protect. Th e city and PSE were betting on the fact that we didn’t have the money to take them to court on a LUPA appeal, so even if what they approved was illegal and devalued our properties, they believe that we shouldn’t be able to fi ght them. We are hopeful that an appellate court will fi nd otherwise.”
Th e neighbors state that their lawyer at the time said it would cost around $100,000 to fi le a LUPA ap-
peal and fi ght the decision. “We knew that PSE and
the city would fi ght us every step of the way on a LUPA appeal and unfortunately, we didn’t have the money to go that route, which was what both PSE and the City of Kirkland were gambling on,” said Heslop.
But it will be an uphill journey for the neighbors in their suit against the City of Kirkland.
“Th is entire process has been disheartening from the start,” said Heslop. “We supplied the City of Kirkland with information showing that they were granting special privilege to PSE, a foreign corpora-tion, breaking their own ordinances, and would be devaluing our properties. Sadly, due to the corruption and incompetence of the city staff and city council they didn’t listen to a word we said and did whatever would make them more money. Mayor McBride even stated, on the record, that she wouldn’t want that facility in her backyard and would be very sad if it was in her neighborhood, yet she still approved it...very sad indeed.”
Th e neighbors’ lawsuit against PSE will continue.

Spuds Fish and Chips owner Larry Marion tests a $20 bill to see if it is legitimate by looking for a watermark or security thread. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter
CITY OF
KIRKLAND
said he would have not caught it either.
Th e counterfeit money was spotted when he dropped them off to be deposited at the bank.
“Th ey (the 20s) got kicked out on Saturday and the bank would not take them,” said Marion. “Someone at the bank said that they have received others like this ... Sixty dollars isn’t the end of the world but it makes you mad.”
Marion put the fake bill next to a real one with no real discernible diff erence. Th e only major omis-sion from the counterfeit note was the absence of a watermark and embedded security thread.
“If you look at them they are quite good but that is the
problem. We use the pens for the $50 bills and higher, but that wouldn’t even have been enough on this,” said Marion, demonstrating that the pen had the same aff ect on the fake bill as the real one.
Marion said that he has fi led a report with the Secret Service Electronic Crime Task Force. He was told by the task force that using the pen should not be a business’ only method of detection.
“Th ey should look at the details on the edges and check them carefully,” said Carroll. “If someone buys a $5 item with a $100 bill, that is suspicious because they could be trying to launder the money.”
But when the counterfeit money gets into circulation it can be awhile before some-one fi nds it.
“It is a game of musical chairs and it stopped on me,” said Marion. “Th e person who gave us this was prob-ably not the same person who made it in their garage. It keeps circulating until the music stops and someone spots it.”
To report counterfeit bills, contact the Kirkland Police Department at 425-577-5656.

[ METRO from page 1]Some were in favor of the
charge, but would like to see it imposed diff erently.
“A $20 tax is a hardship on those who can’t aff ord it,” said Linda Seltzer of Red-mond. “I would like to see a waiver for senior citizens and those who are unem-ployed.”
Others want to see Metro look more at the way it does business.
“Our transit drivers are the third-highest paid in the country,” said Birch Hand of Me-dina. “Why isn’t it more in line with the national average?”
Cindy Springer, who lives near the downtown Kirkland Transit Center, said, “Th ere are 400 buses that run past my home every day. My kitchen window looks into those buses when they are stopped and the majority of them are empty.”
Springer also brought a printed out eBay posting for a 99 cents Orca Card, which is to be sold to the public for $5.
Two other speakers echoed the empty bus senti-ment.
“I work in downtown Bellevue and all day long all I see is empty buses,” said
Lori Sotelo of Mercer Island. “I’d like for you to fi x your budget before you come aft er mine.”
One Kirkland resident suggested privatizing the bus system. Another took the committee members to task for being late to the hearing. Some even took issue with the name of the proposal and the fact that “tax” is not included.
Others saw scare tactics by Metro in the informational
packets handed out for the hearing.
“Th e staff has done a great job of scaring people by telling them their
route will be cut,” said James Watkins of
Redmond. “Every time you promise and each time you under deliver. What will be diff erent this time? And now you want to have a $1 mil-lion vote you’ll lose.”
According to Metro, fi ve main bus routes would have to be cut on the Eastside alone and at least six others would have to be reduced.
In Kirkland, route 277 from Rose Hill and Juanita to the University District would be eliminated and the 236 to Woodinville and the 238 to Bothell would be dis-continued aft er 7 p.m. Route 930 from Redmond to To-
tem Lake and the 935 from Totem Lake to Kenmore would be reduced to hourly and the 251 from Redmond to Bothell would be reduced in frequency and stop at 7 p.m. instead of 8 p.m.
In Bellevue, the 925 from Newcastle to Factoria would be eliminated. Overall, the agency would have to cut 85 routes and reduce 106 throughout King County.
For some, the issue was very personal like a blind man from Seattle, who said the bus is his only means of transportation. Others won-dered how their children, who take mass transit, would get to school and back.
Speakers from the audi-ence also included a spokes-man from the University of Washington, who adminis-ters the U-Pass, a reduced fare bus card for students.
Th e 17 percent service cuts would reduce passenger trips by 9 million a year. Metro, which is primarily funded by sales tax, has had to deal with a revenue reduc-tion of $1.2 billion from 2009-2015 due to the down economy.
Metro has closed that gap to $60 million through lay-off s and four fare hikes of 83 percent during the past four years and deferred service expansion. But Metro only
estimates that the $20 car-tab tax, which is authorized by the state Legislature and Gov. Chris Gregiore, would generate $50 million.
Metro also estimates that 95 percent of bus riders own a car.
Th e Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee will have to make a decision by July 25, but will hold two more pub-lic hearings: 6 p.m., July 12 at at the King County Council Chambers and 6 p.m. July 21 at the Burien City Council Chambers. Testimony can also be submitted online through the Metro Web site.

HEARING
July 15, 2011[4] www.kirklandreporter.com
Finn Hill was a Fourth of July war zone
Kirkland needs to take its own fi re-works ban seriously. I live in the Finn Hill annexation area, or what should be known as “the war zone” during the Fourth of July. My neighborhood is notorious for having many danger-ous and illegal fi reworks including M-80s, bottle rockets, and other loud and exploding type aerial fi reworks.
I had hoped this year that the Kirk-land fi reworks ban would limit the amount of noise and chaos that re-sults from the use of these fi reworks. However, the fi reworks were just as bad as ever, and there appeared to be little if any enforcement of the ban. I attempted to report violations to the city, however it was extremely diffi cult to get through on the non-emergency phone line publicized by the City of Kirkland. I truly hope Kirkland beefs up patrols and citations consider-ably next year and starts to actually enforce the ban they have in place because our neighborhood children, pets, and elderly deserve a true ban.Matt Saavedra, Kirkland
Pleased to see more police in neighborhood
As a new resident of Kirkland I’ve noticed with interest the enhanced patrolling of Kirkland offi cers in the
annexation area. Let me fi rst state that yes I’m a police offi cer with 25 years of service and no I’m not with KPD. I’ve seen the letters in the Reporter over the last few weeks concerned about the increased police presence and to be frank I’m a little shocked. Th ese offi cers are doing what I would expect, learning a new area, and how to respond to the neighborhoods within it. We all know the King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce has had bud-get cuts for several years that reduced general patrolling in most of the county and we got used to it. So I’m pleased when I see a police car rolling by trying to prevent crime in my community verses simply responding to incidents as they occur. William J. Archer, Kirkland
Police deserve thanks for doing their job
To those annexed area residents who complain there are too many po-lice offi cers in your “safe” neighbor-hoods: Please educate yourself. Th ere are eight patrol districts in Kirkland. Kirkland Police patrol offi cers are each assigned to a district and during their shift s, they are to proactively patrol their districts. For those of-fi cers assigned to the annexed area, they are also trying to get to know the neighborhood streets, residents and businesses. Th ere may be crimes/inci-dents that you just are not aware of.
In addition to major crimes, police
also must respond to calls such as (false) alarm, welfare check, suspi-cious activity, domestic violence, child abuse, neighbors dispute, theft , and most of the time, they must respond to the scene with two or more offi cers. You may not be used to seeing offi cers patrolling your neighborhoods as of-ten when you were in unincorporated King County, but you are now City of Kirkland residents, you are getting better police service and response. Unless you have something to hide or you are a criminal, why would you be against offi cers doing their job, patrol-ling your neighborhoods? Would you rather the offi cers just sit in the police station, and then get in their patrol vehicles, wasting precious time driving from downtown Kirkland to you when you need their assistance? I don’t think so. So stop complaining, instead, thank the offi cers for doing their job well, serving and protecting you.Annie Mathews, Kirkland
Disappointed in Kirkland Wednesday Market
I agree with the dissatisfaction of the Kirkland Wednesday Market this year. Th e crapes, pizza, food, beach, all the fun and what seems to be a mini version this year compared to the Marina Park and family fun has been missed by many. We visited the market one time this year, as
opposed to last year’s weekly family and friend’s outing. Extremely disap-pointing!Johna Welling, Kirkland
Marina Park aff ected Kirkland Wednesday Market operation
I think there might be some misunderstanding as to the amounts of fruits and vegetables to purchase at the Kirkland Wednesday Market. Let’s not forget the rainy, cold May and June we had that certainly af-fected the growing season. All local products were late this year. I agree Marina Park was a nicer venue for all of us, however it’s my understanding the switch to Park Lane was made because of the weather last season with wind and rain that made it diffi cult for the vendors. Th e Marina location being on the edge of the lake aff ected the operation of the market. Canopies were blown over, which made it hard to protect the merchan-dise. If we could depend on every Wednesday through the entire season to be as nice as the Fourth of July was, it would be diff erent. But our climate is changing and we all have to make adjustments because of it.Bonnie Fletcher, Kirkland
Since the June 1 annexation of the Finn Hill, Kingsgate and
Juanita neighborhoods, one main issue continues to spark readers’
opinions.
The visibility of the Kirkland Police Department and their
contribution to the new neighborhoods has been seen in many
diff erent ways.
Some residents have been so passionate about their views they
have fi lled the letters section in the Reporter since annexation.
The King County Sheriff ’s Offi ce had the resources for just three
deputies to cover more than 30,000 residents in the three neigh-
borhoods. In contrast, the KPD has hired 34 new offi cers to increase
the police presence in post-annexation Kirkland.
Opinions have varied on the police presence.
Kirkland resident Russ Perman said he’s “seen more cops in the
past two weeks than all the previous 19 years!” He continued, “we
don’t live in a police state where cops outnumber the residents.”
However, Dick Fredlund welcomes more police.
In a recent letter, Fredlund applauds the KPD and their enforce-
ment of the law in his neighborhood. “Enforcing traffi c regulations
does not constitute a police state, unless of course you are one of
the violators,” he said.
Responding to some of these concerns, we will launch a four-
part series beginning next week in the July 22 issue.
The series will examine how residents have received the
KPD’s presence in the new neighborhoods, and how the KPD has
responded. The issue of traffi c enforcement has also been at the
heart of the debate.
The series will also look at how the fi rst year of the fi reworks
ban went and how it compares to previous years in Kirkland, what
resources were used to enforce the ban and how the KPD will use
this information in the coming years.
Issues with expanding the KPD also have to do with the city’s
budget. We’ll examine the creation of a public safety building in
the Totem Lake neighborhood that is budgeted for $37 million
and will include a much larger jail than the city’s current facility.
The building will also house all Kirkland Municipal Court and KPD
functions.
As always, we encourage our readers to keep engaged and

Restrooms, services to be restored in Kirkland parks
Some Kirkland parks and public works maintenance services aff ected by budget reductions will soon get restored, thanks to a new state law that allows fl exibility in the use of existing revenue from Real Estate Excise Taxes.
At its meeting on July 5, the Kirkland City Council unanimously approved amending the city’s current budget to include the revenue to be realized once House Bill 1953 takes eff ect on July 22. Th e bill, supported by the Wash-ington Realtors, allows local REET taxes to be used for maintenance and operation expendi-tures of existing capital facilities through 2016.
Planned improvements for city parks and restoration of maintenance services include:
rooms at North Kirkland Community Center, South Rose Hill Park, and Phyllis Needy Houghton Neighborhood Park
Tot Lot Park, Spinney Homestead Park, Ter-race Park, Forbes Creek Park, and Rose Hill Meadows Park
near the new Transit Center
painting and staining and cemetery mainte-nance
Park and Houghton Beach Park restrooms
crew members to support shoulder and me-dian maintenance
The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statisti-cal round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.
Between July 1-7, the Kirkland Police Department reported 589 traffic violations (12 DUIs), 42 alarm calls, 24 car accidents, 29 noise complaints, 12 thefts, six car prowls, 12 domestic violence calls, eight calls for harassment, 11 acts of fraud, 11 calls of a disturbance, five burglaries, 125 complaints of fireworks, five calls for illegal substances and 19 calls of civil disturbance. At least 65 people were arrested.
July 7Theft: 8 p.m., 10000 block of N.E. 137th Street. A 43-year-old Kirkland man was arrested for shoplifting $16.51 worth of deli products from the Juanita Safeway.
July 6Domestic: 12:52 a.m., 12600 block of N.E. 132nd Street. A 30-year-old Seattle man was arrested for domestic violence,
residential burglary, fourth-degree assault, malicious mischief and third-de-gree theft after he assaulted a 25-year-old Kirkland female and attempted to steal an iTouch. During the incident, a flat screen TV was broken, two holes were punched in the walls and a door lock along with the frame was broken. A friend of the man was also taken into custody on a felony warrant.
Assault: 2 p.m., 123 5th Ave. A 58-year-old Shoreline woman came into the Kirkland Police Department to report that her 14-year-old granddaughter as-saulted her. She stated that the girl went into a rage and stated that she was going to kill her. The girl then threw a metal rimmed basket at the woman, striking her in the left breast and causing pain. She also threw multiple kitchen knives and forks at the woman, narrowly missing her face. The woman fl ed to the KDP as she was fearful for her life.
July 5Theft: 2:20 a.m., 11800 block of N.E. 85th Street. A 17-year-old Kirkland boy stole an 18 pack of Budweiser from a Union 76 gas station. The boy was later contacted on a traffic stop and arrested.

I’ve always loved Edith Moulton Park, a 26-acre jewel in Juanita and now
part of the City of Kirkland. Ever since I moved to the area in 1992, I have enjoyed the wooded trails at the park, along 108th Avenue Northeast at Northeast 136th Street.
A path winds through the evergreens, and by deft ly balancing on a fallen log, you can cross Juanita Creek.
With some imagination, the traffi c rushing by on nearby I-405 sounds like a waterfall.
Since towering trees shield the view of the free-way, you almost feel like you’re in the wilderness.
From the trail, you can walk down a closed
private driveway, past the remnants of an apple orchard, and back to 108th Avenue Northeast. A paved
path circles a grassy area, nice for baby strollers, walk-ers and informal sports.
But I lament that the park is a casualty of the eco-nomic downturn and King County’s budget woes. Th e park fell victim to arson, vandalism and neglect. Once, young teens with toy guns (with plastic bullets that could put an eye out) startled my young son and me. Tree roots are ruining the paved path. A wooden boardwalk rotted, becom-ing a safety hazard. Picnic shelters were tipped over. Garbage piled up. Th ank-fully, the county removed the boardwalk and some shelters in the last year, a request from the City of Kirkland during annexation negotiations.
Despite its current state, I have high hopes for the park. When Edith Moulton wrote her will, donating 19 initial acres of land to the county for future genera-tions, she had high hopes as well.
“Every child should have access to a little bit of wil-derness,” Miss Moulton said.
Th ere’s reason for opti-mism. Volunteers, including Inglemoor High School students, neighbors, scouts, and the Totem Lake Neigh-borhood Association, have
pitched in recently. Th ey re-moved blackberries, brought in gravel for sections of the trail, and more.
With annexation of-fi cial, the City of Kirkland will keep up the park as it does all other city parks, maintaining trails and mowing regularly during the growing season. Waste Management is now provid-ing regular trash pick up (although the number of garbage cans will decline from one to two, eff ective July 1).
Regular maintenance comes as a relief to Kristi
Tvrdy, who grew up across from the property and knew Edith Moulton as a grandmother fi gure. Tvrdy’s mother was elemental in the transfer of Edith Moulton’s property to the county, serving as Miss Moulton’s executrix.
“I would just love for the property to be cleaned up and taken care of on a regular basis,” said Tvrdy, now of Redmond.
It’s possible that the park may eventually get more than just maintenance. Th e Kirkland City Council has decided to form an “exploratory committee” to look into options for a po-tential parks funding ballot measure.
Regardless of any bal-lot measure, here is my modest wish list to polish our neighborhood gem and preserve “a little bit of wilderness:”
improvements to prevent erosion and provide safer surfaces
provements to ensure the
health of the creek
along the private driveway
tables
between nearby Helen Keller Elementary and the park
even portable toilets Other ideas, anyone?
Visit the park and send me an email at [email protected] with your thoughts!
Directions: From I-405, take the Totem Lake Blvd exit. Turn left onto Totem Lake Blvd. Turn left onto NE 132nd Street. Turn right onto 108th Ave NE. Head down the hill to the park on your right.

Still not fully awake in her Seattle abode, Star Anna answers the phone as her dog barks in the background.
It’s 11 a.m. on a recent Friday. For Star, sleeping in late is apparently part of her rock-and-roll world, one that has taken the singer/guitarist from her sleepy hometown of Ellensburg to Seattle, where she’s befriended and received glowing feedback from folks like Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and country star Brandi Carlile. NPR named her tune “Through the Winter” its song of the day two years back. Star has made a name for herself after trading in her drum kit for a guitar nine years ago as a 16-year-old in high school.
“I picked up my grandfa-ther’s guitar, and the strings were so far off the fret and were so thick. They killed my fingers,” said Star, who will perform with her band, The Laughing Dogs, from 7-9 p.m. July 21 at the Kirkland Summer Concert Series at Marina Park.
She’s rocking a Guild acoustic and an Epiphone hollow body electric these days and recently released her third album, “Alone in This Together.” On Sept. 3-4, Star
and her band will perform at the Pearl Jam 20 Destination Weekend at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wis.
“We put it all out there — we put our heart and soul into it. And when the audience goes with us, it sort of pulls everything together,” said Star, who is looking for-ward to the outdoor Kirkland gig because she can “wear sunglasses and look cooler.”
Star said the band plays rock and roll and proudly carries its Tom Petty influ-ences. She noted that when recording the new album, they used Petty’s “Wildflow-ers” as a template.
On “Alone in This To-gether,” Star added that the band opened up its sound
and played from the gut in the studio: “I feel that every note is intentional. It’s got a live feel, a band feel — it’s not just, ‘I’m the lead singer.’” The Laughing Dogs are: Justin Davis, lead guitar, backup vocals; Travis Yost, drums; Keith Ash, bass; and Ty Bailie, keys and organ.
Star’s voice has caught the attention of many music fans, including McCready. Writing lyrics has been a cathartic experience for Star, who said she struggles with depress-ing and dark thoughts (like the end of the world in “Five Minutes to Midnight”) and “I get them out of me and put them into a song.

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

One of the strong points of herbal medicine is the ability of herbs to safely and eff ectively help with com-mon issues that arise in the home, such as occasional head-aches, indigestion, diarrhea, heartburn, heat or sunburns, skin irritation, bug bites/bee stings, cold and fl u symptoms. A few choice ingredients and products can work for multiple symptoms that are mild enough to not warrant
a trip to the doctor, and in appropriate doses are safe and eff ective for children as well.
First, let’s address indi-gestion, which includes gas or bloating, an over-full feeling aft er eating, mild nausea, heartburn and diarrhea. Herbs are some of the most eff ec-
tive, safe remedies for these common problems. Th e fi rst thing I would recommend to have on hand is an herbal
tea with fennel, chamomile, meadowsweet, and perhaps mint (avoid in the case of heartburn) or ginger. Th ese herbs can relax the digestive tract, ease gas and bloating, decrease nausea, lower stom-ach acid, promote digestion, and generally soothe all types of stomach upset.
An alternative to tea is to have an herbal capsule combination or a tincture (liquid extract) that you can drop in a little water and drink as needed. Other herbs I would suggest you keep on hand are marshmallow root and/or slippery elm bark. I prefer them in powder form, because when mixed into water, apple juice, or yogurt, these herbs can be swal-lowed to soothe and coat the esophagus and stomach, easing heartburn symptoms and nausea, and lessen diar-rhea by absorbing water in the intestines and promoting healthy intestinal bacteria.
Next, let’s talk about the skin. An all-purpose, herbal salve can do wonders for soothing all types of skin issues. I recommend fi nding an herbal salve that contains such herbs as calendula and comfrey (which are infused into an oil base and thickened with beeswax) and essential oils such as lavender, pep-permint, and/or tea tree. Th is salve can be used on cuts and scrapes to lessen infl amma-tion, inhibit bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration.

You may already know more about var-icose veins than you would like, because 10 – 25% of all adults and half of all Americans over age 50 have vis-ible evidence of these big ropey leg veins. Normally, the valves in your leg veins prevent blood from
flowing downward with gravity. The valves in varicose veins leak allowing blood to pool and causing the veins to enlarge. Symptoms can range from aching and fatigue to skin ulcers and blood clots. Women who have had more than two pregnancies are at particular risk, and heredity, weight and careers that require a vertical position throughout the day, like nursing or teaching are risk factors as well.
Back in the old days – (20th Century) – the only surgical option for patients with severe varicose veins was a procedure called vein stripping. Today, however, we have the next-generation medical technol-ogy to treat the problem – minimally invasive catheters that close the diseased vein from within. The physician pulls the device through the vein, delivering bursts of energy through the catheter’s heating element to heat and contract the vein walls. With the primary vessel sealed, the body automatically re-establishes healthier circulation and the varicosity symptoms quickly dissipate.
Catheter devices fall into two catego-ries – radiofrequency (RF) devices and lasers. Both are fast and effective, but there is evidence that the RF devices are better
tolerated by patients. One recent study found less post-procedure pain and bruis-ing in patients treated with RF compared with those treated with laser. The latest RF device, the VNUS® ClosureFAST™ catheter, seals the vein in three to five min-utes with virtually no discomfort to the patient. It can be done in the office with a local anesthetic, and the patient is in and out in less than an hour, usually resuming normal activity the next day. The leg pain and heaviness disappear almost immedi-ately, and visible changes are evident in a few weeks.
Clinical studies have found the new procedure to be more than 97% effective, and because it is considered a medical necessity rather than a cosmetic enhance-ment, it is covered by Medicare and private health insurance. After having the proce-dure, patients are delighted to have the zip back in their legs – and to be able to wear shorts – for the first time in decades.
Are you a candidate for RF Closure? Avena Vascular is offering free screenings in July to evaluate your legs in both Ed-monds and Kirkland, WA. Dr. Ben Lerner will be in Edmonds on Thursday, July 21 from 4-7pm and Dr. George Min will be in Kirkland on Wednesday, July 27 from 4-7pm.

You wouldn’t take a shower with your clothes on would you? No, you have to remove your clothes fi rst before you can wash your body.
It’s the same with your face, fi rst you have to remove your makeup before you can deeply cleanse your skin and pores. Double cleansing every evening has been a staple in Asian skincare for years and can be done on any skin type.
Two products are used in double cleansing, a facial makeup remover and a facial cleanser. Facial makeup remover is used as the fi rst cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, oils, sweat, pollution and the day’s accumulated grime.
Facial cleanser is used as the second cleanse to deeply cleanse pores and surface skin. Facial makeup remover can come in diff erent forms, from liquid, oil, gel, or cream, to plain old olive oil. Which form you choose will depend
on your skin type, and the product line you are using.
Begin your double cleansing in the evening. Put a small amount of facial makeup remover onto one
or two cotton pads and gently massage your face. If necessary, use a second set of cotton pads to remove any excess makeup remover and debris.
If desired, rinse with wet cotton pads.
If you don’t have a specifi c facial makeup remover, you can use olive oil, or in a pinch, you can also use your facial cleanser for the fi rst cleanse. But it’s best if you use the proper products for the proper step.
Facial cleansers also come in a variety of forms. Gener-ally they are creamy, foaming, or gel. Some newer cleansers for sensitive skin may also be oil-based. Again, the form you choose will depend on your skin type.
To deep cleanse, put a small amount of facial
cleanser into your hands and rub together, then pat onto your face and gently massage with water or a wet wash-cloth, or a Clarisonic brush. Massage thoroughly, then rinse thoroughly with water.
In all, double cleansing should only take about two to three minutes in your eve-ning skincare routine. Double cleansing your skin allows it to more easily breathe, excrete, and regenerate.
Th orough cleansing of your skin is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clear and radiant skin. So take the few extra minutes to give your skin the double cleansing it needs and it will reward you by growing healthier and stronger.
Don’t forget to moisturize aft er you have cleansed. You have now completed a basic evening skincare routine.

The importance of double cleansing
Spot this salve on bee stings and bug bites to ease itching, swelling, and overall discom-fort. Apply to a heat burn or sun burn, a rash, or eczema for instant relief.
Another advantage to having an herbal salve with lavender and/or peppermint in it? Rub on the temples and back of the neck for relief from tension or other occasional headaches. Lavender and peppermint oil can relax muscles around the neck and head, as well as the muscles around veins and arteries that are in spasm, and reduce infl ammation.
A deep inhale of these oils can provide instant relief as well. Other antispasmodic herbs with pain-relieving and anti-infl am-matory properties such as meadowsweet, willow bark, and feverfew can be taken to
relieve headaches as well. Finally, a tincture, capsule, or tea that
contains immune-stimulating herbs such as goldenseal, olive leaf, elder berry, and/or Echinacea should be taken at the fi rst sign of a sore throat or other bothersome symptom, and taken every two to three hours until symptoms subside. Essential oil of eucalyp-tus, oregano, spruce, or other lung and sinus-opening oils can be inhaled directly from the bottle, inhaled in a steam bath or rubbed on the chest in a salve or oil base for relief of congestion, coughs, and trouble breathing.

BY MEGAN MANAGAN
This is not traditional jump roping – the kind where school
children loop the rope around their head and under their feet in a school gym. Jumpers have taken it to a whole diff erent place – dance moves, music, choreography.
“Th e sport has evolved so much,” said Colleen Mc-Cary, a 17 year member of the Kirkland based Hot Dog USA jump rope team. McCary said when she fi rst started jumping, aft er attend-ing a summer camp before the third grade, the focus was more on speed and endur-ance. Today she’s part of the six person team, which just fi nished performing their fusion routine at the World Competition in Washington D.C.
Hot Dog USA started in the 1980s as an aft er school event at Helen Keller Elemen-tary in Kirkland. Th e team had 100 competitive jumpers at its height under coach Bob Nelson, a physical education teacher at the school.
Th e team, which for a while dipped in participation, has started growing again with 60 competitive jump-ers and 20 members on the junior team.
“It’s growing again,” said coach Allison Lord, a long time member and former na-tional and world champion. “We’re predicting to have 80 jumpers next year.”
Th e year round sport starts for kids on the junior team, fourth grade and under, working one day a week and “getting the taste of it” said Lord.
“If they like it they can get invited to the elite team,” said Lord. “Th ey practice three days a week in the beginning with another day for gymnas-tics. Th e closer they get to a competition, the more they practice. Jumpers travel the world and the main goal is just to get it out there.”
Hot Dog USA is known throughout the world for the showcases it performs,
but also in the competition realm like fusion, a new event this year. Because of their reputation, people from around the country have moved to the area to work with the team. Nick Woodard moved from Houston, Texas this spring to coach. He is also a mem-ber of the fusion team with McCary.
“Th ey are stopping their lives, putting everything on pause to focus on jumping,” said Lord.
Th e fusion team put the fi nishing touches on their routine earlier in the year and tried it out at a com-petition in Belgium where they took second. Woodard describe it as part hip hop, double dutch and break dancing, set to music. Th e teams have three minutes to work in required ele-ments, set to music, while adding their own personal fl air to the mix. Th e result
is high-powered dance with continual movement by each person all while navi-gating the swinging ropes.
Th e chance to work with this team also inspired a move for Chris Brown, originally from Akron,
Ohio. Brown decided to hold off on medical school for a year to come train with the team, and ended up on the fusion team. A jumper for years aft er his sister got involved in a team back in Ohio, he wanted to see how
the best did it.“It’s so much fun,” said
Brown of the fusion event. “I’m defi nitely not from a dance background, but it’s fun. I’d love to stick around for longer. Th ey have the best facility in the world and the coaching staff is all national and world champions.”
In fact, the team recently moved into a brand new gym space in the Bridle Trails neighborhood. Lord said the team has the only facility in the world that includes both space for jumping, as well as gymnastics, which is becom-ing a vital part for team members.
“We were struggling to fi nd gym space,” said Lord of the team prior to the move. With practices for various events spread across the city, it was tricky to coordinate everyone. Now with a dedi-cated space, the team is free to practice whenever they choose.
“It’s been very nice,” said Lord. “Th e kids have keys so they can come in whenever they need to practice.”
For Farris Rae, a recent graduate from Juanita High School and jumper of eight years, it was an easy transi-tion in the beginning from gymnastics to jumping rope.
“I used to be a competitive
gymnast and I did an aft er school (jump rope) camp and they asked me to be on the team. I’ve gotten to travel the world,” said Rae. Her back-ground suited her perfectly for the fusion team.
“Th ere’s not just one thing going on inside the rope, people are always moving and changing,” she said. Th e hard work pays off whenever the team gets to show off their routine, showing just how much the sport has changed from the days of speed jumping.
“It’s the most I’ve enjoyed the sport,” she said of working on the fusion routine. She will attend Western Washington University this fall, but plans to come home every week to train. Th e long time soccer player knows her schedule is tight, but has made the com-mitment to make jumping a part of her life.
“I’m very busy, but you just have to make jumping your life and you’ll never leave,” said Rae.
McCary said even though the fusion event is so diff erent than anything she’s ever done, it’s been an exciting process.
“I love the whole chore-ography to music, which is something we only got to do every once in a while before. We’re always moving and interacting,” she said.
Th e team fi nished fi rst in the senior open jump rope showcase event, which featured the fusion team, at the world competition in Washington D.C. over the Fourth of July.
For those interested in learning more about Hot Dog USA and giving it a try, the group has partnered with Evergreen Athletics and East-side Gymnastics Academy for a jump rope and gymnastic camp, at the Eastside Gym-nastics Academy in Woodin-ville. Th e camp, which will be held July 18 through July 22 will feature instructors from around the country, as well as local teachers. To learn more contact Eastside Gymnastics and talk to Julia at [email protected] or call 425-486-7429.
