Kirkland Fire Cpt. Bill Hoover has re-ceived the Ameri-

can Professional Manage-ment Services Meritorious Award for his efforts to improve firefighter train-ing standards, as well as safety while responding to fires.

A 23-year fire veteran, Hoover has been with the

Kirkland Fire Department (KFD) since 1992 and it is the only department he has worked with. A Skyway native, he first became interested in firefighting due to his best friend’s dad, who was firefighter. He volunteered at a local fire station and quickly immersed himself in firefighting, living at the station until he turned 21.

“It’s always good to help

people,” he said. “Also, it’s never the same day twice. You get to work with high quality people. Any mo-ment you’re called to do something exciting.”

Hoover was promoted to captain in 2011, the same year he was named Officer of the Year by the department.

He currently works on a team developing the train-ing standards for fire-fighting recruits through the East Metro Training Group - a firefighter training program which includes fire departments in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Woodinville, Bothell, Shoreline and Northshore. The standards are updated and revised annually to reflect growing aware-ness of new hazards and changes in safety prac-tices. Last year, Hoover served as the lead instruc-tor for the recruit school, which is set to begin again this January and train five new recruits for the KFD. An independent group later evaluates the training of recruits.

Hoover has also been actively involved in pro-moting new firefighter safety procedures during and after responses in order to mitigate exposure to pathogens and carcino-gens caused by chemicals found in ordinary house-hold items decomposing during fires.

Some of the measures include changing and washing clothes after a fire incident, as well as preventing the spread of chemicals by hand wash-ing and keeping food away from contaminated areas. According to a re-cent study by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, fire-fighters have a higher rate of cancer than the rest of the population.

Much of this is blamed on flame retardants, which emit toxic chemi-cals firefighters either breathe or get on their skin during a fire.

Diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2010, Hoover co-founded the Wash-ington chapter of the Firefighters Cancer Sup-port Network, along with Shoreline Fire Battalion Chief Eric Monroe, and

successfully got the Wash-ington State Council of Fire Fighters (WSCFF) to build the Personal Injury, Illness, Exposure Report-ing System (PIIERS), which enables firefight-

ers to individually keep track of incidents to use when filing claims with their healthcare provider. WSCFF first decided to look into it during their 2013 WSCFF Convention.

had been living in Bjorkstam’s home for six months, according to police documents. He was detained and brought to the Redmond Police Department, where he told investigators that he helped “clean the place up,” but wasn’t involved in the drug dealing. He admitted, according to the documents, that he had a heroin addiction and got his heroin from Bjorkstam.

Swift also told in-vestigators that he had accompanied Bjorkstam to confront a drug dealer who had failed to give him $2,000 of heroin. Swift stated that both of them were armed during the confrontation, the documents continue.

While being inter-viewed, Bjorkstam alleg-edly told investigators that Swift was “a good guy” and that he hadn’t been involved in any of the drug deals.

The sawed-off shotgun

was a Winchester Model 37. The barrel length was only 11.5 inches long and had no visible serial num-bers on it when discov-ered by police.

PSE electric customers to receive credit

Puget Sound Energy customers will notice a pleasant surprise on their winter power bills: a one-time credit applied to December and January bills that will save the av-erage residential electric customer about $40. The credit passes along the financial benefit of sale of PSE’s assets in Jefferson County in 2010.

The total amount to be paid to PSE custom-ers will be $59.2 million, which includes interest that has accrued. PSE provides electricity to more than 1.1 million customers in eight coun-

ties: Island, King, Kitsap, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Thurston, and Whatcom.

How the credits will work

• Every current PSE electric customer, resi-dential and business, will receive the credit.

• Customers will not need to request the credit; it will automatically appear on their billing statements.

• Because of vary-ing billing cycles, most customers will see a por-tion of the credit on their December statement, and the remainder on their January bill.

• The credits will be based on electricity used during the month of December.

Earlier this month, the state Utilities and Trans-portation Commission (UTC) approved the dis-tribution to customers of

$52.7 million, plus inter-est, from the proceeds of PSE’s sale of its Jefferson County infrastructure.

The UTC approved PSE’s request to distrib-ute the credit through a one-time payout during winter, since it will be a benefit to custom-ers when electric bills are typically higher due to colder weather and shorter daylight hours.

The trial for an Ev-erett man believed to be the “cyborg

bandit” bank robber has been set for Feb. 18.

King County prosecu-tors have charged Anthony Leonard Hathaway, 45, of Everett, with one count of robbery in the first degree

after a year-long investiga-tion. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Several local robber-ies were included in his confession, including the Kirkland Totem Lake Wells Fargo on Nov. 30, 2013. There were also three robberies in Bothell: Whidbey Island Bank on March 29, 2013, a second on July 5, 2013 and a third

on Oct. 23, 2013.Hathaway was arrested

by the Seattle Safe Streets Task Force on Feb. 11 after he was caught robbing a Key Bank in the Univer-sity District.

Post-Miranda, Hatha-way confessed to com-mitting 29 other bank robberies throughout western Washington dur-ing the past year, charging

documents claim.Police had been watch-

ing Hathaway the day he was arrested in a year-long investigation the task force had been building since the first robbery in Everett.

Hathaway had a pattern of wearing a metallic-like fabric over his face, simi-lar to the look of a cyborg, and a long sleeve shirt with eye holes cut out, appearing as an “elephant man.”

During several of the bank robberies, the sus-pect verbally threatened the teller with a weapon but never displayed one.

In early February, the investigation led detec-tives to a suspicious white van that had been used in a recent South Snohomish County robbery.

It was this lead that connected Hathaway to the robberies, according to charging documents.

On the day of Hatha-

way’s last robbery, inves-tigators followed the van from Everett to Seattle for two hours and observed him changing clothes and getting out of the van with a black umbrella near the Seattle Key Bank in the University District.

Hathaway alleg-edly stole $2,320 from the teller’s cash drawer as he donned a dark colored mask and told everyone in the bank to “get down” on the floor.

Can’t we fight the real causes of violence?

I recently read the letter by Mr. Smith in the Nov. 7 issue of the Reporter. My response was “really?”

To talk about “outright warfare hardware” like he did is ridiculous. Cabela’s is a hunt-ing, sportsmen and outdoor recreation store. Of course as part of their ad they are going to have hunting and sporting items. They are not implements of war.

To follow his logic, you would have to ban ads from Home Depot because they adver-tise sledge hammers and machetes and also ban ads from Williams-Sonoma because they also sell knives and meat tenderizers (which look like maces).

All those items in one form or another were used in war in the past. Cross-bows, tactical rifles (a misrepresentation) and revolvers are tools. Nothing more than inert metal and plastics, they are neither good nor bad and they have no evil intent of their own. Any tool can be used to harm people.

Mr. Smith expressed dismay that the ad was run right after Marysville. Certainly we all feel horror and disgust at the evil done and the loss of life but again with his logic; if a person was killed by drunk driver or a hit and run with a car, does that mean auto

dealers can’t advertise their cars after it? After considering this I came to the con-

clusion that the author merely reflects the prevalent problems some Americans suffer from. He seems to have an irrational and almost phobic loathing of firearms and hunt-ing gear. Using a cross-bow to kill Zombies on Living Dead episodes is not reality.

The evil done at Marysville was not because of a firearm. By the way, the pistol used at Marysville was legally bought, and had a valid background check done for it. I-594 would have done nothing to prevent the killings. If a gun wasn’t available he would have used a knife, a baseball bat, a sharpened screwdriver or whatever else he could get his hands on to inflict damage and kill people. Evil will always find a way to do evil.

So ruling that out, what were the factors that led to this and other such events? It is lack of good mental health and prevention systems to address the causes.

Also, no one wants to admit the problem that for years our children have systemati-cally been told that they are special, and they are treated like they are the singularly important thing in the world. Sex is glori-fied and anything goes. It’s all me first and they don’t learn self-control because that’s stifling to their self-esteem. Everything is

justified according to their wants and desires and there are no real social mores anymore that constrain them. Most kids shrug this off, don’t buy into it or just have great lov-ing parents that guided and helped them to become productive, responsible and caring teenagers and adults. But for a significant number society produces narcissistic, ob-

sessed, over-sexed, borderline sociopaths like the kid in Marysville. He found out

he wasn’t really special or wasn’t the center of the universe after all and then felt he was “wronged” by his girlfriend and others.

If people would just expend the ef-fort, time and resources to productively

address the situations leading to events like Marysville, and didn’t continually waste resources on “feel good” distractions, then we could see some real prevention measures. But that would mean admitting that damag-ing years of social engineering efforts are to blame.

Drop the phony gun blaming. Everyone needs to support productive measures to find what led boys and young men to this evil and then create decent mental health systems along with worthwhile detection and prevention efforts. If they did, we wouldn’t be having conversations like this. Bill Webb, Kirkland

Kirkland is such a great place to live and work. Not only are the people interesting and great to be around,

they generously step up to meet the needs of neighbors. The Thanksgiving Kirkland Nourishing Network appeal was larger than any of the past Thanksgiving projects to help needy elementary school children and their families. Generous “Kirkland Angels” filled all 180 food box requests in six days. Wow!

The feedback from donors is heartwarming and demonstrates the depth of compassion for neighbors in need. That caring spirit has made it easy to decide to expand the reach of the Kirkland Nourishing Network December project to all elementary schools in Kirkland where we can determine there is need. That will probably double the number of food boxes required, but that would be only 360 families or groups that step up out of over 25,000 residences. We can do this, if we can get the word out to more people in Kirkland and expand the network.

Kirkland Nourishing Network is made up of those who respond to the identified need and volunteer to help. It’s easy to join, and it is more meaningful than you know. Not only are the children and families helped who receive the food, the donors are changed as well. Knowing that you have helped a neighbor who truly has not enough to meet basic needs is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. One student told a teacher after our first food box

drive that she had never had a Thanksgiving before.

There are real people, elementary school children, in Kirkland who don’t have enough to eat. For so many of us, that is astonishing. For many of us, that is unacceptable. Kirkland Nourishing Network tackles identified gaps in the “system” where real needs are not met, and we work to see if we can get the system to close those gaps. Our project to help in elementary schools

came from appeals from principals and coun-selors who see the need first hand.

There is daily assistance with free and re-duced meals at school. There is weekend food assistance through Pantry Packs started by a resolute Redmond elementary school librar-ian. Nourishing Networks decided to tackle the four school break periods where neither Pantry Packs nor school meals were available.

We rely on school counselors and teachers to determine the numbers of the most needy. This Thanksgiving, we expanded to six more elementary schools - not sure if we could get the support to fill the identified requirement. We were amazed how quickly the expanded need was filled. Kirkland just keeps surpris-ing us in great ways.

Our response has been to expand the December drive for food boxes and work to secure a second location for drop-off in the south part of the city. You can join the ranks of the Kirkland Angels by signing up for a food box or get a group to come together to sign up. For more information or to sign up visit the website at www.mysignup.com/de-cemberholidaybreak.

Dave Asher is part of the Kirkland Nour-ishing Network and a Kirkland City Coun-cilman.

Our Community steps up, yet again, to support Kirkland Nourishing Network

Wolfe said that while the city has made no o� cial recommendation on what sort of businesses might be located there, the ideal out-come would have a grocery store with o� ces or residen-tial units on the upper � oors. � is arrangement, Wolfe said, would complement the smaller unique stores in downtown, particularly on Park Lane.

is any one group or individual behind the prowls, and most likely it is different people due to the manner in which the vehicles were prowled. Some vehicles were un-locked when the contents were stolen, while others had their windows bro-ken before entry.

Murray attributed the rise in prowls to the time of the year, as people are already doing their Christmas shopping,

though last week the number of vehicle prowls fell to only six, according to the Kirkland Police Blotter.

Murray also said people leave their wallets, check-books, laptops, tablets and other valuable items visible from outside the vehicle, which makes them especially susceptible to prowls.

Recently King County Sheriff ’s deputies ar-

rested two suspects believed to be behind a rash of car prowls and identity-theft cases going back at least to July of

this year. The arrests took place Oct. 30,

however, two days before the vehicle prowls in Kirk-land happened.

The suspects would break into cars, take

valuables to resell, use ATMs to withdraw cash and also quickly buy gift cards until the victims

bank accounts were emptied. Detectives with the King County Sheriff ’s Office and Sammamish detectives have linked these suspects to what will probably be over 30 cases. Some of these car prowls occurred in the city of Seattle, and many of the identity thefts happened in Redmond, Mercer Island and other jurisdictions throughout King County, according to a press release from the Sheriff ’s Office.

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 o� cers. 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 Nov. 7-13, there were 259 tra� c inci-dents, 32 tra� c accidents, � ve DUIs, 25 general tra� c incidents, 36 alarm calls, 11 abandoned vehicles, nine burglaries, 14 incidents of fraud, 16 civil incidents, � ve cases of harassment, 10 thefts, six vehicle prowls, six vehicle thefts, 14 warrants served, eight noise complaints, three animal calls, 18 incidents of domestic violence, one incident of malicious mischief, seven distur-bances, one assault and 31 incidents involving at least one arrest.

A Kirkland man has pled not guilty to charges of assault

after he allegedly chased a group of local boys found on his property at night last February. His trial is currently scheduled for Jan. 28, 2015.

Christopher Ray-mound Dunn, 36, has been accused of allegedly threatening the teens with a gun after he discovered several of them trespass-ing on his property late at

night and mistook their alleged game of cops and robbers for a potential robbery.

According to a Kirk-land Police report by responding officers, the incident occurred at around 10:30 p.m. during heavy rainfall. The teens later stated they had been hiding on the property while playing cops and robbers as part of a birth-day celebration.

When Dunn yelled at the teenagers, they alleg-edly apologized and ran off the property, accord-

ing to documents from a Kirkland Police inves-tigation of the incident. Dunn then allegedly got into his truck and pursued the teens. The investigation documents allege that Dunn went to drive back home when he didn’t see them, but then discovered two other teens near his neighbor’s property who were a part of the same group playing cops and robbers. Dunn then exited the vehicle and confronted them with a semi-automatic hand-gun, the investigation

documents allege. One of the teens claimed he was struck in the face by Dunn. One of the officers investigating the incident reported not finding any marks or injuries on the teen’s face who claimed to have been struck.

During the ensuing in-vestigation, police found two of the fence boards on Dunn’s property had been pulled off the rails, leaving a hole. They dis-covered the fence boards lying in the front yard and the screen off Dunn’s living room window

removed. The doors to his tool shed had been left open and fresh footprints matching one of the teen’s shoes were inside.

Dunn denied hitting one of the teens and told police his gun had been holstered the entire time. When told by investiga-tors that two witnesses had confirmed seeing him produce the handgun, Dunn allegedly replied that the witnesses must have mistaken his flash-light for a gun.

The Kirkland Police investigation ultimately

concluded Dunn had legitimate reasons to be-lieve someone was trying to break into his home.

The police investigation also concluded, however, that Dunn’s actions to pursue the teens once they left his property “had clearly crossed the line of reasonableness and could no longer be justified.”

The investigation documents also allege one teen lied to police during a follow-up investiga-tion about being on the property. Charges were forwarded to the prosecu-tor’s office, but no charges were ever filed against him.

Man pleads not guilty to chasing boys with gun

City priorities, goals reflected in yearly-snapshot report

The city of Kirkland has released its annual Perfor-mance Measure Report, a yearly-snapshot of the key service areas that support the City Council’s adopted goals.

Notable achieve-ments in 2013 include the Crime Mapping program that provides more transparency; im-provement in pave-ment condition indexes for major and minor arte-rial, and more real-time traffic monitoring being conducted through the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) program.

Additionally, the city continues to retain its AAA credit rating from Standard and Poors. The report acknowledges a decrease in office va-cancy rates in 2013 which shows a positive trend for business growth and an increase of interest of businesses to locate on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Other key achievements include citizens participat-

ing in the design of the new Neighborhood Safety Program and the contin-ued support of volunteers in park restoration.

The city has been producing a Performance Report since 2005 and each department uses this document to drive its work plans, budgets and programs for the coming year as they strive to meet City Council and citizen priorities as derived from citizen surveys. The report ties operational achieve-ments to the City Council’s goals of Balanced Trans-

portation, Depend-able Infrastructure, Economic Devel-opment, Human Services, Housing,

Neighborhoods, Parks and Recreation,

Public Safety, Financial Stability and Environment. This year’s Performance Measure Report contains comparative data for the years 2009 to 2013.

To view the 2013 Per-formance Measure Report and previous reports, go to www.kirklandwa.gov and search “Performance Measure Report.”

Alternative formats of the Performance Report are available upon request by contacting the Human Resources and Perfor-mance Management De-partment at 425-587-3210.

State Parks announces changes to winter schedule

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission has an-nounced its 2014-2015 winter schedule, with more than 60 parks remaining open seven days a week for camping and day-use activities.

The winter schedule is available online at www.parks.wa.gov/158/Winter-Schedule. More than 60 parks will remain open seven days a week, while about 24 parks are closed until dates in March, April or May, due to weather and other circumstances. Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore and Bridle Trails State Park in Kirkland are included.

Each year, Washington State Parks identifies which parks will remain open and which will offer limited or partial services, such as reduced camping sites and restrooms. Some parks are open only on weekends and holidays. Campers should be aware that some state parks may shut off water systems, even if the park is open. Some boat launches are closed, and some docks are removed for the winter.

State Parks works to

maintain services within the current operating budget and to provide a geographic balance of ser-vices across the state. Parks that close in the winter generally close in October or early November and reopen in the spring when weather and conditions allow.

Some parks are open but specific areas within the park are closed, and some are open on weekends and holidays.

Help decorate Juanita Village for the holiday season

The Juanita Neighbor-hood Association is getting festive once again this year with a work party to decorate the street lights at Juanita Village. The deco-rating will take place at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

OneRedmond’s 2014 Legislative Reception on

Nov. 12 featured lawmak-ers — who are leading in the general election — Cyrus Habib (state Senate, 48th District), Ross Hunter (state House, 48th District), Larry Springer (state House, 45th District) and Andy Hill (state Senate, 45th District). Joan Mc-Bride (state House, 48th District) sent a represen-tative to the event and Roger Goodman (state House, 45th District) was invited but didn’t attend the event at Microsoft’s Cafe 34.

Hill (R) leads Matt Isenhower (D), 53-47 percent; Goodman (D)

leads Joel Hussey (R) for Position 1, 55-45 percent; Springer (D) leads Bren-dan Woodward (R) for Position 2, 57-43 percent; Habib (D) leads Mi-chelle Darnell (R), 65-35 percent; Hunter (D) leads

Bill Hirt (R) for Position 1, 70-30 percent; and McBride (D) leads Tim Turner (L) for Position 2, 69-31 percent.

Election results will be certified on Dec. 4.

Habib, Hunter and

Springer shared their thoughts on the next legislative session.

On the important Mc-Cleary decision — which deals with public edu-cation funding and reform — and higher-edu-cation funding, Springer said they “cannot be ignored as the two are inexorably linked.” He added that passing a transporta-tion funding package is crucial for the upcoming session.

Habib noted that along with the McCleary decision, he’s passionate about three things in the

“thriving Pacific Northwest”: eco-nomic prosper-ity, quality of life and leaving no one behind.

In a statement to the Reporter, Hill said he wants lawmakers

“to continue moving for-ward with the bipartisan progress we’ve made on schools and the budget.”

Hunter said to achieve success in the upcoming

session, “We need both Democrats and Repub-licans to vote for the consensus this year.”

McBride’s representa-tive, Madeline Cavazos, said McBride hopes that transportation funding on the Eastside will help the area thrive and attract new businesses.

OneRedmond is a private-public partner-ship for economic and community development, led by the private sector, working in close part-nership with the City of Redmond.

...healthy living

The idea that provid-ing more informa-tion about

food served in restaurants, such as calorie and fat content, would reduce the risk of weight prob-lems has widely been greeted with skepticism and outright rejection. Now a new study presented at the Second Annual Obe-

sity Journal Symposium in Boston showed that

calorie labeling on menus can indeed influence the choices people make once they become aware of the differences.

“Calorie label-ing helps people understand what’s

in their food, and makes them aware of healthier options,” said Charoula

Nikolaou, a dietitian and doctoral candidate at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and lead author of the study report in an interview with Science Daily.

Timi Gustafson R.D. is a registered dietitian, newspaper columnist, blogger and author.

Bright Futures Breakfast raises $100,000 for students

Bright Futures 2014, an annual bene� t breakfast held by the Lake Washing-ton Institute of Technol-ogy’s Foundation, packed LWTech’s dining facility with eastside dignitaries, students and faculty and brought in more than $100,000 in dona-tions to support scholarships and program equipment.

� e early morning event included breakfast prepared and served by students in the culinary arts program, as well as informational and in-spirational talks by LWTech’s President Amy Morrison Goings, Nytec CEO and Foundation Board member Rich Lerz, and students.

“I am truly touched by the generosity of our communi-ty,” the foundation’s Executive Director Elisabeth Sorensen said. “Our community’s businesses and individuals all stepped up to help make sure students are supported in their quest for an education, a career, and a bright future.”

According to Sorensen, this year’s donations — both

the sponsorships and the in-dividual gi� s — were double what the event had brought in a year ago. Among the event’s 36 sponsors were Mi-croso� , Nytec, Astronics Ad-vanced Electronic Systems, Boeing and EvergreenHealth.

Rebels swim team holds fundraiser

Juanita High School girls swim and dive team recently held a fundraiser to raise money to buy new team suits for the 2015 swim season with the help of the Kingsgate Car Wash.

“� e Rebels have struggled with fundraising in recent years,” said Julie Harder, a parent with the team. “In the past, the team traditionally had one or two car washes in the Kirkland area, hoping to raise enough money for team swim suits. But with the changes in city policies and the growing concern for pol-

lution caused by gas-station car washes it has become increasingly di� cult for the team to hold the car washes.”

� is year, the team took a new direction.

With the help of the Kings-gate Car Wash, the Juanita team arranged to sell pre-loaded car wash gi� cards to be used in the two touch-free wash bays. Each gi� card had a value of $36.

� e Rebels were able to sell the cards to raise over $2,700 toward the purchase of new swim suits for each and every swimmer. � e Rebels have 45 swimmers and divers on the roster.

“� e Juanita team would like to thank Kingsgate Car Wash,” Harder said.

Stew’s Self-Service Garage opens its (garage) doors BY DEANNA ISAACS

[email protected]

When Stew-art Waliser started going

to Central Washington University, ‘surgeon’ was what he had in mind, but a mid-schooling epiphany led the then 20 year-old on a two-year long business project that recently opened its doors in Kirkland.

In 2012, Stewart was sitting his dorm room thinking of the work he had to do on his truck. However, with no garage and no where in Ellensburg to go, he’d be stuck in the cold.

“I owned, at the time, a [Toyota] Tacoma Truck, and it needed suspension work. It was really cold outside and raining… and I thought to myself ‘Man I wish there was a shop in Ellensburg that would let me rent a li� from them,’” Waliser said. “� at was my ‘Eureka Moment’… So, instead of doing the suspension work on the truck I sold it and wrote my business plan.”

At the ripe old age of 18, Waliser began plan-

ning as a businessman. A� er taking Stew’s Self-Service Garage business plan to his mother, she decided to invest and Stew’s Garage was rolling.

“I’m just pleased as can be, so impressed,” said Shawn Waliser, Stew’s mother. “...I knew right away that this was good. � at’s why I invested in it.”

Finally land-ing in Kirkland across the street from Dunn Lumber on 120th Street, everything started to come together.

Construction for the o� ce spaces began and, less than

three months later, Stew’s Self-Service Garage was open for business.

Two years of hard work and challenges, and � nally they were ready for customers.

� e day of the grand opening, held Oct. 26, Stew’s Garage threw together a mini car show, with a McLaren, a Porsche GT2 and an Audi V8 R8, to celebrate the a� air.

“Unfortunately it was raining. We were going to have more cars here, but most of them said, ‘It’s

raining’ and then didn’t come out,” Waliser said. “We still had the [three cars] and probably 50 to 60 people come by.”

For a purely social me-dia promotional endeav-or, there has been a steady stream of attention and customers, along with 500 Facebook likes.

Even though the doors have opened, the plan-ning and cahooting haven’t ended. During the next year, Waliser plans to release television commercials, a YouTube channel, an online sched-uling system and more.

For those who work on their cars, every tool un-der the sun can be used at Stew’s Garage and, if they don’t have it, they’ll purchase it at no cost. From the heated shop to the heated break room, open to all people not just employees, Stew’s Garage has everything anyone needs to get their car back on the road.

“Overall, it’s extremely clean and well organized, it all makes sense and makes it easy,” said Seth Harmon, a friend of Stewart’s and oil-changer for his sister. “It almost leaves no reason to not do it.”

For more information visit www.stewsgarage.com.

During the grand opening many people came out to work on their cars in Stew’s heated garage in Kirkland. STEW WALISER, Contributed

The Metropolitan King County Council unanimously ap-

proved its first biennial budget on Nov. 18, which provides funding to keep the doors open at their public health clinic in Northshore until December 2015.

Councilmember Rod Dembowski authored the section of the budget that lays out steps for identifying long-term revenue to main-tain the clinic’s services. Those steps include analysis of revenue-generating leas-ing options for the vacant portion of the Northshore clinic building, and the po-tential for revenue generated from the sale of the building to be used to fund the con-tinuation of clinic services.

Earlier this year, facing a $15 million gap in the Public Health budget, King County Executive Dow Constantine announced that up to four King County Public Health clinics could be slated for closure, including the Public Health clinic at Northshore.

In an attempt to main-tain the vital services the Northshore clinic provides to more than 4,000 patients annually, a spokesperson for Dembowski said he initiated an all-hands-on-deck ap-proach with the North King County cities he represents on the Council.

“As a kid, I received my health care at a King County

Public Health clinic. Keep-ing these vital services for women and children was my top budget priority. I am working closely with our city partners to form part-nerships to keep Northshore Public Health Clinic open beyond 2015,” Dembowski said. “I believe more work is needed to develop a long-term strategy for delivering maternity support ser-vices and Women, Infant & Children program services, before we close the door on the 4,000-plus patients in our community who rely on Northshore each year.”

The adopted budget is the County’s first biennial bud-get for all county agencies, including those contained within the County General Fund. The adopted General Fund Budget was set at $1.5 billion, three-quarters of which is targeted for law, justice and public safety services.

At the start of the budget process, several public health centers were slated for closure. Residents of the communities that depend on the clinics testified at the special meetings held by the Council about the

importance of the centers. Partnerships and collabora-tion between the county, local jurisdictions and other community agencies helped locate the funding needed to keep the clinic doors open temporarily in Federal Way, White Center, and Auburn. The Council’s budget also includes funding to help keep Northshore, the last of the clinics on the closure list, open into the biennium.

Potential reductions in transit service were also a concern going into the bud-get process, with the Coun-cil committed to reviewing both the levels of bus service and transit reserves during the development of the budget.

Lake Washington schooLs Foundation

Contributed

With more than 26,000 students and numerous honors and awards, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is one of the largest and most suc-cessful school districts in Washington. Part of this success is due to financial support from the commu-nity through Lake Wash-ington Schools Foundation. Since 2005, the Foundation has awarded the district nearly $2 million to sup-port district-wide initia-tives and provide classroom tools to help all students succeed. Foundation Board

President Minerva Butler, along with the Foundation’s board of trustees, thanks the community for their donations and involvement in their schools.

The foundation’s board of trustees includes President Minerva Butler, Vice Presi-dent Sarah Stone, Treasurer David Bies, Secretary Valerie Horvath, Glen Campbell, Dan Davidson, Jay Gold-stein, Peg Hunt, Matt Isen-hower, Shelley Kloba, Nicole MacKenzie and Kathleen Reynolds. Ex-official members include District Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce and Colette Ulloa.

Almost 10 years ago, in March 2005, former LWSD

Superintendent Dr. Don Saul brought together a small group of community members who believed in the importance of public education. This group envisioned a partnership between parents, businesses, community members and the school district.

Their goal was to raise money to help all students succeed.

Dr. Saul was inspired to organize a foundation after noticing the value that schools’ foundations were providing to neigh-boring school districts. Schools’ foundations play an important role in raising awareness of districts’ needs and provide a way for the community to engage with and provide extra funding to its schools.

“Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the school district,” Pierce said. “They help us to build pathways for student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their support.”

The founding members became the Foundation’s first board of trustees, many of whom are still active as either advisory council or board members. Last spring,

founding member Terri Blier was honored with the foundation’s first Education Champion’s award for her dedication to Lake Washing-ton students. Blier stepped down in June after serving on the board for over nine years, first as a member and then for two years as board president.

“I’m proud that despite challenges over the years, the Foundation has endured and is fulfilling its founders’ original goal of equalizing the economic dispar-ity within our district,” Blier said. “While there are schools that can raise many thousands of dollars for their students, there are others that can barely raise a fraction of that. The Foun-dation is building a stronger community by helping all children succeed.”

Tracy Hoien played a key role in the Foundation’s success, serving as a found-ing trustee, board president and eventually executive director.

“The Foundation provides the vehicle for community members to work collab-oratively to raise money and provide programs that en-rich our students’ education, beyond the state’s funding of basic education,” Hoien said.

“It’s for the kids.” Launching the foundation

took some cash. The Foun-dation’s first fundraising ini-tiative, the Founder’s Circle, provided critical funding to launch the organization into its second and third years. About 105 individuals and organizations donated at least $1,000 to this cause, raising over $120,000. For a complete list of Founders Circle members please visit www.lwsf.org/founders.

The foundation’s annual Legacy for Learning fund-raising luncheon is currently its central fundraising cam-paign. Held for many years at Juanita High School, the event regularly raises well over $200,000.

The foundation invites the community to attend its 2015 luncheon, scheduled for April 29, at which it will celebrate ten years of invest-ing in students and schools. There are opportunities for businesses and organiza-tions to sponsor the event.

During the past 10 years, the foundation has funded a variety of school needs. It has helped children attend summer school, supported the LINKS mentoring and tutoring program, and awarded Reaching for Success classroom grants.

It has recently invested in a support program for new teachers and a high school anti-bullying program.

Based on school district and community interest, the foundation has made science a special focus. This investment started in 2007 with funding for middle and high school laboratory equipment. Most recently, the Foundation helped launch the district’s new STEM-based Signa-ture Programs in all high schools with grants totaling $320,000.

In addition to support from the community, other major donors include Mi-crosoft, Waste Management, Sodexo, the Discuren Chari-table and Wockner Founda-tions, local governments and PTSAs. For a complete list of sponsors, please visit our website at www.lwsf.org/investors.

The foundation is cur-rently reminding the com-munity that it has a stake in the success of its schools with the theme of its fall fundraising campaign, “Our Kids, Our Future—It’s Up to Us!” Help the Founda-tion reach its fall campaign goal of $25,000 by making a donation today at www.lwsf.org/donate.

Lower electric rates for Pse customers

State regulators approved

a settlement agreement with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to reduce electric rates due to reduced power-supply costs on Nov. 3.

The Utilities and Trans-

portation Commission (UTC) approved a power-cost rate reduction of $14.9 million, approximately 0.7 percent, for PSE electric customers.

The average residen-tial customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours would see an electric bill decrease of 0.23 percent, or $0.21 a month, for an average bill of $92.74. This amount is subject to adjustment after the company files updated power costs for electric gen-eration later in November.

New rates go into effect on Dec. 1, 2014.

Bellevue-based Puget Sound Energy provides electricity service to more than 1.1 million electric customers living in eight Washington counties: King, Pierce, Island, Kitsap, Kit-titas, Skagit, Whatcom and Thurston.

The UTC is the state agency in charge of regulat-ing private, investor-owned electric utilities in Washing-ton. It is the commission’s responsibility to ensure reg-ulated companies provide safe and reliable service to customers at reasonable rates, while allowing them the opportunity to earn a fair profit.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
