Neighborhoods prepare for National Night Out eventsBY TJ MARTINELL
As cities across the state celebrate National Night Out on Aug. 4,
one Kirkland community in Houghton will be preparing for emergencies in a simple
way - by getting to know each other.
According to Houghton resident Margaret Bull, her neighborhood will hold its fourth block party as part of National Night Out, an annual community-building campaign to promote police-
community partnerships. Bull’s neighborhood will have a potluck along with a visit from a � re truck and police car. � e event will allow resi-dents to get more acquainted while discussing safety issues with the o� cers.
� e intent of the block
parties, however, is not just to create more awareness about crime, but to spark coopera-tion and communication.
Having participated in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, Bull said she has at-tempted to raise more aware-ness in her community about emergency preparedness,
which for a while proved di� cult.
“I make a big deal about inviting, but sometimes people don’t answer the phone if they don’t know you or the email goes into the junk folder,” Bull said.
One of the biggest prob-lems, she said, is that people don’t know who they live
next to, which meant when she initially tried to introduce herself some were wary of answering the door.
“A lot of apartments, a lot of young people aren’t friendly,” she said. “A part of the problem is latch-key kids. � ey were home alone and wouldn’t open doors to

City Council approves ballot measure for ARC fundingBY TJ MARTINELL
If Kirkland residents want a metropolitan park district (MPD) to fund the Aquatic and Recreation Community Center, they will have the chance to approve it this November.
� e Kirkland City Council approved an ordinance plac-ing a proposed MPD on the November ballot during its July 21 meeting.
� e MPD would be used as a funding mechanism for the ARC. � e city recently completed a site analysis of Christ Church, one of the possible sites for the ARC, with an estimated construction cost of $56.7 million. � is price does not include the purchase of the land.
Under the proposed ordinance, the MPD’s boundaries would be the city limits, and the council would act as the governing body.
An MPD is a junior taxing district that, instead of a � xed amount raised, sets a � xed tax rate that all property owners pay per $1,000 in assessed valuation (AV), with a maximum rate of 75 cents per $1,000 AV. � e initial levy rate for the ARC is estimated to be $.25 per $1,000 AV.
� e council also approved an ordinance that authorizes the city manager to enter into an interlocal agreement with
the MPD if it is approved by the voters. � e interlocal agreement would allow the city to run the district direct-ly. � e board would approve the district’s six-year budget, which would be updated annually and include a public hearing prior to adoption of the annual budget.
From the perspective of many in the city, the MPD is the most practical way of funding the ARC a� er searching for both locations to place it, as well as ways of paying for the associated costs. With many of the costs still uncertain, the MPD
would enable the city to raise as much as
needed to cover the � nal bill, while a bond measure would raise a speci� c amount and
require more certainty as to the
� nal bill. Councilmember
Dave Asher said during the meeting that the MPD would also provide a sustainable means of maintaining the ARC in the long-term, call-ing it “probably one of the smartest moves we’ve made.”
“If you look at aquatic facilities and other types of facilities that have been in place for a long period of time, a number of them are going away, because they didn’t have an enduring, sustainable funding mecha-nism.”

Downtown Kirkland opened it’s parking spots and shut out normal tra� c last weekend to ensure that the Kirkland Classic Car Show was a triumph... no not a Triumph car, but a triumph of auto-shows.
� e Kirkland Classic Car Show, or-ganized by the Legends Car Club and the Kirkland Downtown Association, drew people from near and far, all for the chance to showcase their vehicles and meet and greet fellow enthusiasts.
“My Brother and I found it on Craigslist. It was in pieces and we put it together, did all the work on it, got it
running, made everything work,” said Je� McCracken, who was showcasing his labor of love, a Plymouth, at the show. “� en we took it all apart and did all the body work on it.
� ey also rented a paintbooth and did the paint job, only getting outside help for the upholstery. � ey even put an automatic transmission in the vehicle, by making the stock shi� er the new automatic shi� ing knob, and put in power steering to make it easy to handle on the roads.
“� e trunk was done up by Interior Renovations, which is a friend that I went to school with who has an interior shop right here in Kirkland,” McCracken said. “It’s all homebuilt.”
For them, car culture is about get-ting in there and doing the job right with the helping hands of friends and family, and returning to where they came from.
“I was born down here, right in Kikland, at the old hospital that was right down the street,” McCracken said. “It’s kind of neat; it’s not the same town anymore, it’s changed a lot but it’s a nice town.”
With such an amalgamation of vehicles, it was hard for some to not get whiplash; something from nearly every year and most makes or models. � ere were even some newer vehicles, though heavily modi� ed.

Kloba said that the MPD would prevent them from be-ing in the same situation they are in at the moment, trying to find ways of paying for a new community center.
“An MPD allows you to maintain it, not just through-out the life, but replace it,” she said. “I hope our community will look that far down the road.”
Prior to approving the ordinance, the council added language that states the board
will not increase the levy rate in any one year for purposes other than financing the ARC by more than five cents per $1,000 AV without first placing an advisory ballot measure to the vote. They also added language that said park district revenues will not be used to supplant funds or service levels previously funded by the city’s general fund or special levy fund.
Councilemembers Toby Nixon and Asher, who had recommended doing so at past council meetings, said
the added language would improve public accountability and offset possible concerns about how the district funds may be used in the future.
“We don’t want people to think that a future council might use it for some other project without going to the voters for at least an advisory,” Nixon said.
“This provides assurance that we aren’t going to take excursions away from the ARC,” Asher said. “We’re not going to use this (the MPD) as a bottomless pit.”
At the same time, the city is making progress as it continues to examine Christ Church in Totem Lake as a possible ARC site, with a completed site analysis con-cluding the 12-acre property would be able to provide for both the ARC as well as future expansions. The site is across the street from the city of Kirkland Public Safety Building. According to Parks Directory Jennifer Schroeder, the property could accom-modate both a 32-meter and 50-meter pool, along with a
park maintenance center. The analysis involved a hypotheti-cal conceptual design, but an actual design has not been created yet.
Schroeder stated that if the city were to purchase the land, it would have to protect the hillside and retain 25 percent of the healthy trees.
As part of the construction costs, the city would still have to pay $3.8 million in sales tax because unlike public works projects, recreation development projects are not tax exempt.
Some of the benefits of the church property would be al-lowing for the preservation of open space, enough room for patios and a deck, and acces-sibility due to its proximity to the Cross Kirkland Corridor. It would also allow the North Kirkland Community Center (NKCC) to remain open while the ARC is being con-structed. The NKCC is also under consideration as a pos-
sible site, with two separate options costing $52.8 million and $60.6 million. Unlike the church property, however, the NKCC is city-owned and would not require them to purchase the land, but at four acres is much smaller and wouldn’t allow for any expan-sion. Schroeder stated that if the ARC were built on the church property, recreational programs held currently at the NKCC would move into ARC once it was completed, and the NKCC would be closed or repurposed.
“We live in a city that is known for its parks,” said Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen. “That’s what makes us remarkable. We’re one of the top cities to live in the United States because of our quality of life… Our quality of life is our economic development strategy.”

We all need to cooperate on the Cross Kirkland Corridor
A couple comments on the letter on the CKC [Cross Kirkland Corridor] in your 17 July edition.
The author is right in saying that many bikers don’t warn pedestrians, other bikers, and others when they’re passing. But the problem isn’t limited to the CKC. From my experience, a warning on the Sammamish River Trail is the exception rather than the rule.
But every trail user has some responsibil-ity for safety, especially as the trails become more crowded. Bikers are supposed to give warning and, if it isn’t safe to pass, slow down until it is. But I’ve seen many cases where pedestrians walk three or four abreast on narrow parts of trails, including some with lane stripes, and ignore warnings. Others wear headphones (not ear-buds) that would block out warnings.
We have a really great trail system and it’s getting better. We all need cooperate in keep-ing it that way.Bob Thompson, Kirkland
Funding needed to find
cure for Alzheimer’sThere has been growing recognition of
the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease but the funding to find a cure lags dramatically behind what’s necessary.
In 2010, Congress unanimously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a
treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But National Institute of Health (NIH) research on dementia has not in-creased to the $2 billion a year level
that scientists say is needed. In fact, for every $100 spent on Al-
zheimer’s research, Medicare and Medicaid programs spend $26,000 to care for people with the disease. Currently there are 100,000 Washingtonians living with Alzheimer’s dis-ease, and that number will grow to 140,000 by 2025. We must invest more to find a treat-ment and a cure now.
The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee has approved a bill giving $350 million more to the NIH for Alzheimer’s research, while the House Committee has voted $300 mil-lion. If even the lower figure is signed into law, that would be a 50 percent increase in research funding for this disease.
I urge Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, as well as Rep. Suzan DelBene, to vote for this vital Alzheimer’s research boost and push to make sure it is in the final ap-
propriations bill enacted into law.Pete Minden, Kirkland

A tough lesson about waiting to see a doctor
E D I T O R I A L
Last Friday was one of the worst days of my life. I found myself standing over the grave of my best friend growing up, trying not to lose
it. Watching his family, who are like family to me, trying to cope with a greater loss than my own was excruciating.
We lived across the street from each other for most of our childhood and we were inseparable during that time. In high school, I was the crazy class clown musician and he was the athlete. An unusual pairing for best friends. But he was the one person who never judged me on my outward appearance and he could never beat me when we played home run derby.
He was also the last person I ever thought for whom I would be in that situation last Friday. Enduring six heart surgeries myself, I always felt like he would be in my spot and not the reverse. We had even talked about that from time-to-time when my situation was di� cult and he wouldn’t have any of it. He would tell me “never going to happen.” My sense is that he began to think I was invincible.
He was a warrior in the best and most accurate sense of the term. He served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and was a respected police detective. In my mind, he was invincible. But no one is invin-cible.
Much of my position at the Reporter is dealing with our websites, Facebook and Twitter. He lived in another state and the day he died I was moni-toring Facebook for comments on our website, among other things. All of a sudden I began to see all these posts “RIP John” and could not believe my eyes. I thought it was a sick joke. A little while later I received a message from his sister con� rming my worst fears. I have to admit, I might broke my laptop that day.
� e morning of his death he complained about chest pains but passed them o� as something that could be dealt with at another time, even though a family member urged him to get it checked out. But a� er all, he was 36 years old and I bet he had begun to think he was invincible as well. Later that day he collapsed and died.
I spent the time between his death and his funeral wondering why it was him and not me. Stu-pid, I know. However, given both of our situations it is probably an inevitable way of thinking.
But the conclusion that I came to is not an easy one to be OK with. It is one that leaves you with “what ifs” and “only if I had...”
He was a proud person and a strong person. He always took care of his family and friends - but not always himself. He never went to the doctor. � ere was always a reason to put it o� .
I , on the other hand, have seen twice as many doctors than reporters in my lifetime. I do my yearly checkups and monitor my health - as every-
one should regardless of your current health. � e reason for telling you all of this is to urge
everyone to see a doctor if you don’t feel well and you have the means. My friend had the means but not the motivation.
Chest pains and things of that nature should not be ignored. A heart attack is just one of the many things we have to be aware of medically and we owe it to the people we love to make sure that see a doctor and a dentist on a regular basis. If you’re not going because you are afraid of what the doctor might say, I am sorry to tell you but that is exactly the reason you should go. Bad things can creep up or they can happen without physical notice.
Don’t put it o� another day if you have a symp-tom that you’re not sure about and make sure you get a yearly physical, if not for yourself then your loved ones and best friends.

strangers.”Finally, several years
ago, she was able to get residents together as part of the National Night Out campaign.
“National Night Out was one of the few times I had convinced people to get together face-to-face,” she said. “You want people’s children to know what the adults in the neighborhood look like.”
One of the things they do, she said, is create a booklet that contains relevant information so residents can respond appropriately during an emergency or a map of the neighborhood, an idea she hopes other neighborhoods in Kirkland will copy.
“We’re trying to get Kirk-
land as prepared as pos-sible,” she said, “but people have to be motivated.”
CERT is a FEMA-based curriculum designed to teach people how to respond during a disaster when regular services like police, � re and medical are unable to respond.
� e city of Kirkland has its own CERT program that hosts two CERT training courses, one in the spring and one in the fall. More information about the city’s CERT program can be found at www.kirklandcert.com.
For more information about Kirkland’s emergen-cy preparedness programs, go to www.kirklandwa.gov/Page7346.aspx. Go to natw.org/registration to learn more about National Night Out.

“� is is about the tenth year we’ve been out to this car show,” said Ray Catouli, owner of a ‘33 Ford Roadster streetrod, a ‘51 Chevy Pickup and a Model A - which stayed at home. “It’s kind of the right
size for me. We’ve been to Greenwood and Cruising Colby... but this [car show] here, it’s the right size for me and I just enjoy it. It’s a well done car show.”
Of course, winning the Best in Show for his Roadster helps.
� e show is all about mix-ing with fellow car enthusi-asts and intrigued strangers.
“It’s fun to get out on a sunny day and put the top down,” Catouli said. “It’s fun to have people wave at you, � ash their lights... Streetrod-ding is just a fun sport.”
� ough, it’s also about family.
“� e 51 Chevy has been in the family since it was new, so we’ll keep it in the family,” Catouli said. “It’s another fun car, and it’s what I started with, but you don’t want to go too far. You don’t want a truck geared for the farm out on the road.”
For Craig Sears and his grandson Kevin Westcot, the Kirkland Classic Car Show was less about the cars and more about sharing them with the next generation.
“For me, its all nostalgia. I was born and raised around here and, when I was in high school in the ‘60s, you lived and died by the car you drove,” Sears said. “[Kevin] loves the cars and can pick them out of a crowd.”
“My favorite thing is that they’re so old, very interest-ing. I’m too young [to drive], I’m only eight!” Westcot said.
Whether one was a partici-pant, partaking in the view or even there for the food trucks and live music, there was a little something for everyone and a triumphant success.
